Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

[Shocking! The "Goose Leg Auntie," who was once extremely popular among university students in City A, was found to be using aged, zombie duck leg meat to impersonate goose legs.]

A piece of news inexplicably went viral and became a trending topic.

This is the first reaction of many people who have just opened their eyes and are still scrolling through their phones in bed when they see this entry.

"????"

What goose leg? What auntie?

How did a vendor selling roasted goose legs end up trending on social media?

But when they tapped into the topic square and saw those shocking photos of the scene, all the question marks instantly turned into exclamation marks.

The impact of the photograph far surpasses any written description.

In the kitchen, boxes of frozen duck legs were piled up in the corner, the packaging bags covered with a thick layer of white frost.

Some of the bags were torn, revealing duck legs whose skin glowed with a dark green luster.

The green hues took on an eerie metallic sheen under the flash of the camera.

In another photo, the reporter captured the rusty freezer belonging to Aunt Goose Leg.

The freezer's temperature display had been broken for more than half a year, and the actual temperature was nearly ten degrees higher than the nominal value.

Several unlabeled buckets of condiments were piled up next to it, with dried sauce stains on the walls, the color of which was dark black.

The accompanying text used restrained language, but every sentence crossed the line regarding food safety.

Tests revealed that the "roasted goose leg" sold at the stall was actually a frozen duck leg, and some of the ingredients showed signs of serious spoilage.

The business operator involved admitted that the products sold did not match the advertising.

"Holy crap, isn't this the roast goose leg that students from all over the country used to line up to buy?"

"You mean that 16-yuan roasted goose leg? I took a bite and immediately thought it had a strong ducky smell. My classmate even said I was picky, but now it seems that being picky saved my life."

"Tch, 'Auntie with goose legs,' I already told you it was duck legs!"

"Are you out of your mind? A netizen from Guangdong said this was a duck leg, and those students chased after him with thousands of comments, almost opening the box themselves. Doesn't it hurt to be proven wrong now?"

"Is that Guangdong netizen who got scolded above here? Come out and take a few steps. This is the scene of the modern-day Dou E's injustice being redressed."

"I don't know which kind-hearted person reported this, but these unscrupulous vendors should have been investigated long ago! Sixteen yuan for a goose leg, the cost is there, anyone with a brain knows it's impossible, but some people just don't believe it."

The report was repeatedly reprinted by various media outlets.

One of the in-depth investigative articles detailed the entire picture of this gray industry chain.

Aunt Goose Leg is not an isolated case; behind her is an underground network that specializes in purchasing near-expiry and expired frozen poultry for secondary processing.

The purchase price of these duck legs is less than one-tenth of that of normal goose legs.

Some of them are even leftover stock from wholesale markets that have been stored in cold storage for more than five years.

The production date on the packaging bag was erased by chemical reagents and then reprinted.

To make these dark, dry, and rotten duck legs fragrant.

The vendor uses a lot of flavor enhancers, tenderizing powder and compound phosphates when marinating, and repeatedly brushes oil on the meat during the grilling process to lock in the surface shine.

The finished products sizzled on the grill, their aroma wafting through the alley, drawing long queues of students who had finished their evening self-study sessions.

In an interview, a professional explained in detail where the strange fragrance that captivated countless students came from.

"Frozen duck legs will develop a fishy smell due to fat oxidation after long-term storage."

"In a typical family setting, adding cooking wine and ginger simply won't be enough to balance the flavor."

"But if you use a sufficiently high concentration of ethyl maltol with meat flavoring paste, the aroma intensity of these substances alone can mask any off-odors."

"To put it bluntly, what you're smelling isn't the aroma of meat, it's artificial flavoring."

The expert also specifically mentioned the green fluorescence on the duck leg in the photo.

During the decay of meat, bacteria decompose proteins, producing hydrogen sulfide gas, which reacts with the iron in the bones to form ferrous sulfide, which appears green under light.

Some students took a picture and posted it in a WeChat group, asking, "Auntie, what is this green thing?"

Aunt Goose Leg's answer was, "Fruit and vegetable juice, all-natural, and nutritious."

The slap in the face is self-evident...

"Holy shit!! Holy shit!!"

When Mu Chen sprang out of bed, his phone almost flew out of his hand.

He didn't go to the comic convention today; Menma's smile yesterday made him cry until he was dehydrated.

Xiao Huohuo and Lin Dong sat with him on the steps outside the venue for a long time, and he decided to take a day off.

As soon as I opened my eyes and turned on my phone, this news hit me like a ton of bricks.

He held his phone and read the entire report from beginning to end, word by word.

The changes in his facial expressions were comparable to the face-changing technique in Sichuan opera.

From shock to anger, from anger to nausea, from nausea to an unspeakable shame.

He even treated Aunt Goose Leg like a treasure, recommending her to everyone he met.

"This is truly the perfect late-night snack for a well-rounded, all-around warrior."

Mu Chen recommended it in the class group, in the hometown group, and during the club's orientation. He even had a fight with Xiao Huohuo about it last week.

He said, "Brother Xiao, you're looking down on the working people," with such self-righteousness and arrogance.

Looking back now, every single thing he said will become a dark chapter in his life throughout his college years.

Working people?

No! This is not the working people.

The working people would never sell rotten, dyed duck legs as goose legs to students.

Mu Chen's fingers trembled as he tapped to open WeChat.

"Brother Xiao, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have questioned you. From now on, whatever you say goes. If you say this beer is baijiu, then it is baijiu. If you say this water flows backward, then it flows backward."

"I will never touch that goose leg again, no, I never want to see any duck leg again in my life."

After sending it, he felt it wasn't sincere enough, so he added a kneeling emoji.

Then another one was added.

Then I felt that adding too much would seem frivolous, so I withdrew one of them.

He is willing to admit his mistakes and correct them; this is one of his few excellent qualities.

When the message was sent, Xiao Huohuo was busy at her workstation.

Suddenly, my phone vibrated.

He glanced down at the screen, then gave it a very satisfied smile.

There was relief, pride, and a kind of benevolent look from someone who had been there before, seeing the younger generation finally get a taste of life's harsh realities.

Are you free tonight?

Mu Chen replied instantly: "Brother Xiao, you're not going to beat me up again, are you?"

"What are you talking about! I'll take you to eat real roast goose, a whole one, so you can taste what a real goose leg is like."

After Xiao Huohuo finished typing this line, the corners of his mouth curled up a little more.

The dialog box remained silent for a full ten seconds.

"Brother!!! You are my own brother!!! If you will not abandon me, I am willing to become your godfather!!!"

Before Xiao Huohuo could reply, Mu Chen from the next workstation suddenly popped up, "Eating alone without me? Count me in!"

Xiao Huohuo: ? ? ?

When did this guy find out?

Meanwhile, at the International Conference Center.

The operational data for the fourth day of the comic convention has just been compiled into the terminal.

Customer traffic has decreased compared to the previous three days, which has eased the restocking pressure in the surrounding sales areas.

However, the main stage still had plenty of follow-up activities and game experience areas.

Everything is running smoothly, even more smoothly than expected.

On mobile phones, #AuntieGooseLegs# has surged to the top of the national trending topics list, with over 200 million views and over 100,000 discussions.

"Director Yang, I'm truly impressed. How did you find out about this?"

Li Lin sat down opposite Yang Qian.

He was completely baffled when Yang Qian asked him to investigate Aunt Goose Leg.

When he received the test results, he realized that the seriousness of the matter was far beyond his expectations.

Yang Qian smiled. "The power of the masses."

Li Lin: ? ? ?

"Director Yang, should we...?"

Li Lin tentatively pushed the topic a step further.

He meant that the Land of Light acted as a whistleblower in this incident.

Although there is currently no publicly available information pointing to Yang Qian, if the media uncovers this relationship later, the public opinion could be very favorable to the Land of Light.

He couldn't tell whether Yang Qian's attitude was that she didn't want to stand out, or that she was holding back an even bigger move.

Yang Qian glanced at him. What do you think?

"Okay, I understand."
