Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 502 Black Boss: Ripping Off Customers

That afternoon, someone was bored and was looking for a football game to watch on Bilibili. As a result, the name of a live broadcast room caught his attention - Black Boss: Rigged Customers.

Heimalo has become popular again recently, mainly because the first trailer of this game was released four years ago, which caused quite a stir at the time.

But then it fell silent for a while, with the official account only resurrected occasionally, so some people labeled this game a scam. As a result, last month Heimaluo suddenly came back to life and announced that the game would be released in 8 months.

So those who didn't trust started arguing with the fans again.

The name of this live broadcast room was obviously intended to take advantage of the popularity of Black Malo, but the name did pique the man's interest. Anyway, he could watch the game anytime, so he clicked on it to enter the live broadcast room.

This was obviously a new account, but to his surprise, there were quite a few viewers in the room, more than 500 people, who were chatting enthusiastically.

"Fuck, this is the recently popular Infinite Universe Canteen, so the title is really right."

"Hey, is this store shady?" asked a newbie who walked in by mistake.

"Black, not just ordinary black. The last episode of Magic Sea Lion's store exploration video was shot at this store. Can you believe that a plate of ham and potato pancakes costs 168, and there are only a few pieces in it."

"Damn, it's quite dark, but it's so dark, why do I see quite a few people eating there?"

"I don't know. Maybe rich people are stupid."

“I know this. This store seems to have spent tens of millions on marketing, hired a lot of Internet trolls to post good reviews everywhere, and also found a lot of food-related aunties to give them business orders and ask them to help fool people.

"But this time he probably hit a wall... Hehehe, Tang Rijie has a poisonous tongue, and now he's already a big shot with tens of millions of fans. He definitely can't buy him off."

"What? Tang Rijie from Hot Detective Poison Review is here? Where is he?!"

"Are you blind? Didn't you see Teacher Tang's iconic big belly at the second table on the left?"

"Oh my god, it's really Teacher Tang. He's already eating... But why does he seem to be eating so happily? I'm getting hungry just looking at him."

"Yeah, this is the first time I see Teacher Tang eating so much in a restaurant so quickly." said a fan of Tang Rijie.

"What you're watching is all edited. Maybe Mr. Tang also eats this fast on a regular basis."

Someone immediately objected.

With the dual support of Heimalo and Tang Rijie, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room increased rapidly, and soon exceeded one thousand.

The rapid increase in the number of viewers will push the platform algorithm to give the newly created live broadcast room better recommendations and greater exposure, attracting more people to come in.

It’s not like Tang Rijie hasn’t done live broadcasts before, but they were basically just selling products, chatting, or teaching people how to cook. When he was visiting stores, he always played pre-edited videos.

This was the first time that everyone was able to watch the entire process of his store visit, so many people watched with great interest.

But as time went by, someone finally thought of a problem.

"Who opened this live broadcast room? Could it be the owner of the Infinite Universe Canteen? What is his purpose in opening this live broadcast room? Does he want to bring some fun to everyone's boring life? Or does he want to be remembered forever by the Internet?"

"Hahaha, maybe he's just too confident in himself. When Teacher Tang visited a restaurant before, didn't he also encounter that kind of arrogant boss? He thought there was nothing wrong with his food and refused to admit his mistakes. He even sent a lawyer's letter to Teacher Tang afterwards. It was so funny."

"Ah, I remember the episode you mentioned. It was really fun, and Teacher Tang was really good at making people laugh."

"Look, Teacher Tang is doing something again, pretending to be stuck. Did he find out that the boss is live streaming? Hurry up, we want to hear the comments." In the picture, Tang Rijie has put down his chopsticks and said to the camera, "…This side dish is good and refreshing, but the portion is a little small, so I didn't eat enough. Maybe the boss wants us to save some space for the next dish."

Everyone around him laughed in unison.

But there was not much joyful atmosphere in the live broadcast room.

"Ah, just like that, that's it?"

"Is it because there are no flaws, so the only problem you can find is the price?"

"You're talking about the same things that Sea Lion said. It's boring. I was expecting to be able to scold some professionals."

"Don't worry, this is just a small dish. Teacher Tang is trying to save his energy here. He will definitely prepare something big later."

Although the audience in the live broadcast room were generally dissatisfied with Tang Rijie's performance just now, many people insisted that he was just joking or holding back a big move because of Tang Rijie's past glorious achievements.

In a movie, this is called "first praising and then criticizing".

Fortunately, they didn't argue for too long, and Tang Rijie began to taste the second dish - Four Treasures Oxtail Soup.

This dish looks great and attracted a lot of people's attention when it was placed on the table. The milky white soup is dotted with red wolfberries.

The fat oxtail bone is half soaked in the broth and half sticking out of the soup, showing off its plump figure and teasing the taste buds of diners.

Tang Rijie first skimmed off the grease on the surface with a soup spoon, took a small sip, then a second sip, and a third sip...with a happy smile on his face.

At this time, the host of the live broadcast room took the opportunity to give Tang Rijie a close-up. With the help of the high-definition camera, every pore on Tang Rijie's face was relaxed.

"No way, is it really that delicious? Old Tang looks like Zhu Bajie eating a ginseng fruit." Someone commented.

"It should just be a performance." The people who wanted to praise first and then suppress were also a little uncertain, mainly because Tang Rijie was enjoying the meal so much.

"If he really acted, then with his acting skills, he might be able to teach at Beijing Film Academy." Someone commented.

Just at this moment, the voice of Tang Rijie, who was taking the photo, came from the live broadcast room, "Speak, Mr. Tang, don't just eat."

Tang Rijie finally woke up from his dream, "Oh, let's shoot it again." After a pause, he said, "Wait a minute, let me think about how to say it."

Tang Rijie thought about it for about five minutes, and everyone in the live broadcast room was getting a little anxious before they heard him calling on the photographer to start shooting.

Tang Rijie in front of the camera has regained his usual calm expression and casually scooped a spoonful of oxtail soup into his mouth.

"Mm, it's good, the taste is mellow and rich. When making oxtail soup, you must not boil the oxtail directly. Frying it first will make it more fragrant and reduce the fishy smell. In addition, the chef of this restaurant did not blanch the oxtail, but soaked it in advance to remove the blood.

"The blood was removed very cleanly. It should have been soaked for at least 5 or 6 hours, and the water was changed 2 or 3 times in the middle. The floating foam was also skimmed off when it was cooked, so the soup has no impurities.

"Nowadays, many restaurants are afraid of being cumbersome and always try to save effort in places that customers can't see. But once you save effort, the taste of the dish will definitely decline. Either the fishy smell will remain, or the beef flavor will not be as rich and mellow."

Tang Rijie spoke from his heart. This was his habit. When reviewing a dish, he would first talk about its advantages and then its disadvantages. But this time, he seemed to have mentioned too many advantages inadvertently, especially since he came here with a mission.
