Chapter 1153 Up To No Good
“A free sample?” Jason arched a brow. “There’s even a booth giving out free samples?”
Usually, only a supermarket would use such a marketing ploy to attract customers. Even then, the food might not be any good.
Therefore, it was the first time Jason heard of a restaurant that served local cuisine setting up a booth to give free samples.
“You should give it a try,” the person standing before him suggested. “When my friend shared the photos of the free samples, he claimed that it was absolutely divine and emphasized it a few times. That piqued my curiosity, so I went to try it, and I couldn’t agree more with his review!”
Suddenly, Jason was intrigued by the restaurant and its aggressive marketing tactics.
“All right, I’ll do that then.”
He then gave the man a slight nod before walking ahead.
Meanwhile, the cameraman, who had his video camera recording from a hole in his bag, caught up to Jason and asked softly, “Mr. Sleight, should I inform the director to begin the filming officially?”
Jason shook his head and replied, “Since the majority of those in the line skew toward the younger age group, it’s highly likely that many of them are my fans. Therefore, to prevent potential chaos, it’s better if we don’t get the others to come here. We’ll just do this undercover. Anyway, you should find a good angle and start rolling.”
“Sure, sure!” After adjusting the video camera in his bag, the cameraman began filming once he was sure he could get a clear shot of Jason.
Given how long the line was, Jason had to walk for a few minutes before reaching the front.
“Maureen’s Kitchen…” he muttered, knitting his brows.
“It has a good name. Now, I wonder if it deserves the long line it’s getting.”
He hid his microphone in his collar as he walked toward the restaurant.
When Jason arrived at the entrance, he saw the booth on the right. However, he was unable to determine what was being given out due to the overwhelming crowd.
At that moment, a girl squeezed out of the crowd with a plastic bowl in hand and a gleeful smile on her face. It felt like she was holding a cherished treasure.
At the sight of the people being packed like sardines, Jason realized there was no way he could afford to expend time standing in the line. If the food ended up tasting bad, the time he spent waiting would go to waste since the recorded content would not be used.
After a brief hesitation, he walked up to the girl holding the bowl.
“Hello.”
Much to his surprise, the girl immediately hid the bowl behind her back, as though she was worried that he would snatch it away.
Jason smiled wryly in response.
Was that necessary?
“What do you want?” The girl eyed him warily.
After all, he was all wrapped up in layers of clothing and had his entire face covered despite the hot weather. In fact, he was even wearing a pair of sunglasses.
In her opinion, he looked like someone who was up to no good.
In a resigned tone, Jason explained, “I just got here. Anyway, I’d like to ask you a question. What free samples are they giving out?”
Pursing her lips, the girl answered, “Ravioli!”
“Ravioli?” Jason asked in incredulity, “They are lining up just for ravioli?”
Have they gone mad?
Unable to see Jason’s expression due to his mask, the girl nodded matter-of-factly. “That’s right. They are all lining up for ravioli. It’s delicious!”
“But, no matter how good it is, how can it be worth lining up underneath the scorching sun?”
“What do you know?” The girl gave him the side-eye. “It’s obvious you haven’t tried them before. They are undoubtedly the best in the world!”
“The best in the world?”
Despite his reservations, Jason did not feel that the girl was exaggerating at all.
