I've been possessed by a culinary genius, and I've turned Shaxian snacks into a rip-off!

"Brother, the moment you walked in, I could tell you had an extraordinary presence. That professional equipment, that composed demeanor, that sharp gaze—you must be an incredibly awesome food blogger, right?"

Zhao Yunlong: "......."

To be honest, this is the first time in the two years he's been doing restaurant reviews that he's met such an enthusiastic owner. They really know how to provide emotional value!

I don't know why, but I always have a bad feeling about it.

"Haha, boss has a good eye!"

"That's right, I do food reviews and restaurant reviews. I heard your restaurant is very unique, so I came here specifically to film a video."

After he finished speaking, he waited to see Li Zhibai's reaction.

According to the typical script of a shady business, the owner should panic after confirming that he is a patron, and might even kick him out, since based on the information obtained online, this is a blatant shady business.

As it turned out, Li Zhibai didn't kick him out as he had expected; in fact, he was very cooperative.

"Go ahead and take the pictures, make sure they're clear! Do you need me to set up the lighting?"

"Oh, by the way, don't forget to include your location when you post the video: Shaxian Snacks, No. 88 Jiangdong South Road. Also, you can tag me when you post the video, and I'll give you a like."

Zhao Yunlong: "???"

No, this plot doesn't seem right.

Your store has been criticized to the point of having a 1.8 rating, with the comment section full of one-star reviews. Aren't you ashamed at all?

Is it really that arrogant?

Or do you have someone backing you, which is why you're so fearless?

"Boss, aren't you afraid I'll expose you?"

"exposure?"

Li Zhibai's eyes lit up: "Exposure is great! Expose me thoroughly, expose me as much as you can!"

Zhao Yunlong: "........"

It's confirmed. This boss is either mentally ill or truly fearless.

But the more unusual the store, the more excited he became, because the more interesting the footage would be.

Li Zhibai took out his order book to write down the dishes.

"What's your surname, boss?"

"My surname is Zhao, Zhao Yunlong."

"That's Brother Zhao," Li Zhibai said in a very affectionate tone, "Brother Zhao, since you've come to our shop today, you absolutely have to try our signature dishes. Let me arrange it for you."

Zhao Yunlong nodded: "Any signboard will do."

Since he was going all out today, he decided to try the restaurant's signature dishes to see what level they were on.

The most expensive dish on the menu, Bodhi Jade, is only 1288 yuan per serving; that's probably the restaurant's signature dish.

However, he completely underestimated Li Zhibai's bottom line. In order to showcase his dishes in all aspects on camera, this guy had no intention of serving him just one signature dish; he wanted all of them.

"How about I arrange a luxurious, top-tier super package for you?"

Zhao Yunlong was taken aback: "Luxury Supreme Super Package? What's that?"

Li Zhibai: "Of course it's the shop's signboard. Didn't you say you'd put a signboard on it? This whole set is the shop's signboard. If you're sure, I'll put it on for you."

Hearing him say that, Zhao Yunlong nodded again: "Alright then, give me this Supreme Set Meal."

He thought that the so-called set meal should be a main dish with a soup or something, and that's how normal set meals are usually arranged.

To his surprise, Li Zhibai had only been in the kitchen for a short time when he brought out a whole table full of food and shoved a QR code sign in front of him.

"The Supreme Luxury Package has been served, totaling 9458 yuan."

"Come on, Brother Zhao, scan the code."

Zhao Yunlong: "???"

"How much...how much?"

"9458, less than 1."

Zhao Yunlong: "..."

No way, where the hell did this come from?

Is this still Shaxian?

Is this still in China?

What package costs over 9000?

He really wants to call the police now; this is outrageous!

In the end, he gave up on calling the police because he thought of his half-dead account again and gritted his teeth to pay.

Fight!

Those top-tier bloggers with millions of followers only become famous after spending tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan on a single meal when they visit restaurants.

His gimmick is really impressive. He spent nearly 10,000 yuan on a meal at Shaxian Restaurant, which is unique in the world. It would be an injustice if this didn't become popular.

As the saying goes, take a gamble, and you might just turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!

Zhao Yunlong gritted his teeth, opened the payment app, and scanned the QR code for receiving payment.

"Ding~ 9,458 yuan has been deposited into your Alipay account."

As soon as the payment notification sounded, Zhao Yunlong's financial status on Li Zhibai's system interface visibly dropped one level, changing from green to white.

One meal can plunge someone into poverty.

Li Zhibai couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

"Brother Zhao is awesome!!!"

With such courage, determination, and a willingness to risk everything for content, even going all in on a restaurant visit, how could you not become famous!

"Brother Zhao, please enjoy your meal. If you need me to adjust the lighting later, just call me anytime. I can help with this small favor." After receiving the money, Li Zhibai returned to the kitchen with a smile.

Zhao Yunlong sat in his seat, staring at the balance on his phone, his heart bleeding.

He turned the phone camera towards himself and began recording the rest of the mukbang segment with a genuinely pitiful expression.

"Hey everyone, this meal at Shaxian snack shop cost 10,000 yuan! Brother Long really risked his life to find this place for you all. After watching the video, please give me a like and follow!"

After recording this part, he cheered himself up, thinking that this video would definitely go viral and that he had to make it well!

Just as he was preparing to record some close-ups of the dishes before starting to record his food review, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Looking up, I saw the bespectacled, refined man in the shop.

"Hello there."

"Uh... hello."

Lu Qianshan glanced at the recording equipment he had set up and asked knowingly, "For a restaurant review?"

"Yes." Zhao Yunlong nodded.

Which platform?

"Douyin".

"What's your account name? We also use Douyin and would like to follow you."

Zhao Yunlong was immediately flattered.

These guests were looking at him with hostility just now, but now they're actually following his account. It seems they're not so difficult to deal with after all; it must have been a misunderstanding.

"Um, brother, I shouldn't have taken pictures of you without your permission just now, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, you can just add mosaics later."

"I will. My Douyin name is Long Ge Tan Tian Xia. Just search for that."

"Okay, I've got it."

Lu Qianshan nodded and turned back to his table.

As soon as they sat down, Yu Shen leaned over and whispered, "Did you find out?"

"Got it, Brother Long explores the world."

How many followers do you have?

"I don't know, but judging from his outfit, he should be a relatively unknown blogger."

"That's alright. So, what's the next step?"

Lu Qianshan picked up his phone and opened Douyin.

"Pay attention to him."

"and then?"

"Then wait for him to send the video."

"If he dares to post a video of this store, we will report him."

"Report him for false advertising, fabricated content, or vulgar content. If all else fails, report him for selling his body. Just write any reason you want. As long as enough people report him, the video will definitely be taken down or have its reach limited."

"Damn, Lao Lu, you're really cunning!"

"Someone spent 10,000 yuan to film a video of a meal, and you turned around and reported them? That's outrageous!"

"Don't talk about me, but if you were in my shoes, would you report it?"

"I will definitely report it!"

"But Lao Lu, you should give them tips on other videos later to cover their medical expenses."

"You have to say it."

Lu Qianshan found Zhao Yunlong's Douyin profile, followed him, and then took a screenshot and sent it to the group.

Mountains and seas can be flattened: [Screenshot.jpg]

Mountains and seas can be flattened: [Found a food blogger, locked on, waiting for him to post a video so we can all report him.]

Don't fill the teacup so full: [Roger! This kid dared to post videos related to Shaxian snacks, I'll be the first to charge!]

【+1】

【+1】

【……】

The anti-black alliance was very efficient, and soon more than 20 people had followed Zhao Yunlong's account.

Zhao Yunlong had just finished filming close-ups of each dish and was setting up his phone to record a mukbang when a notification popped up on his phone. He opened it and found that he had dozens more followers.

Then he looked at the bespectacled, refined-looking man not far away in surprise, and pointed to his phone, as if to say, "You guys are following me?"

The man smiled and nodded: "Don't mention it, brother. We saw that you have the potential to become famous, so we asked everyone to give you some early attention."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunlong was so moved that he clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Thank you! Thank you, brothers and sisters!"

"That's too kind!"
