Jiang Han and his colleague Cai Bo, like other office workers who have Sundays off, are enjoying a rare day off today.

Indeed.

They abandoned the principle that they would never get out of bed on a Sunday until the sun was high in the sky.

Both woke up early, quickly washed up, and set off straight for the commercial pedestrian street.

To visit the long-awaited food festival!

To be precise!

They are both heading straight for Huang Tao's booth.

Since noon yesterday, Jiang Han and Cai Bo's social media feeds have been flooded with pictures of all kinds of food from the festival.

At first, the two of them remained unmoved and indifferent.

Until pictures of the food from the Delicious Restaurant booth appeared in their social media feeds.

Just by looking at the pictures, they instantly felt the pizza in their hands just didn't taste good anymore.

They could only frantically inhale the scent from the pictures of the Delicious Restaurant's offerings!

Inhale to taste!

They were craving it to the extreme!

Initially, they planned to go to the food festival yesterday right after work to eat at the Delicious Restaurant booth.

But unfortunately!

Their fan circle friends kindly reminded them that the Delicious Restaurant booth had already closed for the day...

This news was like a bucket of cold water suddenly poured over their heads, leaving Jiang Han and Cai Bo feeling chilled to the bone and heartbroken.

They had to endure through the night.

Coming here this morning.

Of course!

Jiang Han, who hadn't live-streamed for a while, naturally wouldn't miss such a perfect live streaming opportunity.

The last live streaming event at the Delicious Restaurant, "Exposing Fakes," brought him a lot of popularity.

His fanbase also grew several times larger.

Now he has over 100,000 fans!

This was all thanks to Boss Huang, who helped him turn from a person with over 20,000 fans to someone holding over 100,000 fans.

As the first food blogger to review the Delicious Restaurant, he caught the first wave of traffic brought by Huang Tao.

Now, he'll certainly not miss this opportunity to stir up his fans' interest by streaming.

With Cai Bo's help, Jiang Han attached his phone to a selfie stick.

Then opened his live streaming room.

"Hi, everyone, I'm your old friend Jiang. I'm currently at the Wenling City commercial pedestrian street for the food festival. Fans who have been following the eighth Wenling City Food Festival might know, this year's festival is quite different, with many new features, like 'live cooking demonstrations,' although that part starts at 3 pm. For now, I'll show everyone the highlights of this food festival and then take you all with me to the Delicious Restaurant booth. I heard Boss Huang prepared a lot of new stews for this festival, including braised chicken wings, chicken thighs, chicken feet, goose palms, and even vegetarian stews. Just looking at the pictures my friends posted makes my mouth water~"

Jiang Han introduced as he spoke into the phone.

The camera switched to the rear-facing camera.

He smiled and said, "Everyone, look, although it's only half past nine, the tables and chairs set up for diners at the food festival are already fully occupied. Diners are enjoying the food and savoring the endless aftertaste brought to their taste buds. This shows how popular this food festival is. I also heard that the Delicious Restaurant booth is the most popular, with lots of people lined up. I hope when I get there, the line isn't too long, so I can get my turn sooner."

Switching back to the front camera, he talked about the traffic situation on the way.

He currently has more than 100,000 fans, although he hadn't done a live stream recently due to business trips and busy work schedules.

But for today's food festival, he had posted a live stream announcement in advance.

So quite a few active fans from other provinces have joined the live stream at the scheduled time.

After all, they just woke up, ready to have breakfast, and had nothing else to do, so watching the streamer explore the food festival is just right.

At this point, many floating comments appeared on the live stream screen:

[Finally, we get to watch Jiang's live stream! Hurry in and show us the delicious food at the Wenling City food festival!]

[Did you visit the food festival today? Jiang, I think your topic choice is not great this time, don't ask why, just because I can't be there since I'm out of province, not happy!]

[I've been looking forward to this food festival for a long time, but just two days ago, my company sent me on a business trip... won't be back until next Wednesday, missing out on it... my heart is bitter! I can only watch Jiang's live stream to satisfy my cravings... The water of West Lake is my tears...]

[LOL, the comment above, you're too tragic! This year's Best Tragedy Award goes to you without a doubt!]

[Wow, you're going to the food festival today. Just thinking about the variety of food there brightens my mood. I wish I could fly over and eat it now!]

[Just wondering, does your food festival have fried locusts or fried silkworm pupae?]

[...]

Jiang Han naturally saw those comments and calmly said, "As far as I know, there isn't any."

With that, he and Cai Bo walked into the food festival booth area, taking the fans in the live stream to see the Wenling City food festival.

Food festival, of course, the stars are the various foods.

Lava durian, roast whole lamb, roast suckling pig, dragon broil, Dongpo sugar heart abalone, sticky rice pig stomach, and more...

Seeing all this made Jiang Han, Cai Bo, and the fans in the live stream dazzled.

The only thing that puzzled him was...

The booths from each hotel seemed less popular than expected.

Some hotel booths even had only a few customers.

What surprised him more was...

The usually aloof hotel booths had changed their typical image and started calling out to attract customers.

Walking along, the shouting was one after another in his ears.

"Hey young man, come over and have a look... My Dongpo sugar heart abalone is made from top-grade abalone, see how tempting it is!"

"Come check out the sticky rice pig stomach! Each grain of sticky rice is translucent, tasting sweet and soft, with the fragrance of rice mixed with the oil aroma of pig stomach, very fragrant!"

"The Durian Burst, with a straw in it, take a sip, it's like drinking a durian milkshake, incredibly delicious..."

"..."

Damn!

This totally blew Jiang Han and the gang's minds!

If it weren't for the booth signs showing each hotel's name, they would've thought they stumbled into a marketplace!

Oh my~

How did everyone become so down-to-earth?

The livestream fans were also instantly dumbfounded.

[Weren't we promised a high-end food festival? Why does it feel like the host wandered into a food street?]

[What have these chefs and waiters been through? Why are they hawking like this?]

[Is this something I can watch for free?]

[Hey, emergency services? There's a star hotel hawking and setting up stalls here...]

[Is it because business is bad that they're shouting? Look, hardly anyone at their booths...]

[The comment above makes so much sense, hard to argue with it!]

[Life's already so tough, let some things go unsaid.]

At the moment, Jiang Han had no time to pay attention to why these chefs were shouting, nor to the livestream fans, because amidst the enticing aromas in the air, he detected a few familiar scents.

That's Boss Huang's scent...

To be precise, it's the scent of the food made by Boss Huang!

It made Jiang Han and Cai Bo drool with craving.

What are you waiting for? Hurry up!

They rushed straight to booth No. 88.

Leaving only their two hasty retreating figures for those chefs to see.

The two had a clear division of labor!

Cai Bo was in charge of queuing and purchasing.

Jiang Han focused on the livestream.

Seeing the lineup in front of Huang Tao's booth, he suddenly realized why the other hotel booths had so few visitors!

And understood why the chefs from those hotels were lowering themselves to shout so much!

Ten to one, it was because of Boss Huang...

The livestream audience, seeing this lineup, also caught on!

[I got it! I finally understand why no one's visiting the other hotel booths, seems like most festival-goers are lining up at the So Delicious booth?]

[Haha~ I also get why those chefs from other booths were shouting! But I'll keep that insight to myself!]

[Laughing to death, other booths are so idle they can count heads, while the So Delicious booth is so busy they're worked to the bone...]

[Host, can you pan the camera over there?]

[I just got here, just a quick question, is the stuff at this So Delicious booth really that good? There's such a long line.]

The livestream was flooded with questions from netizens.

As the camera shifted, viewers saw an even more terrifying queue than the one at the Delicious Restaurant.

From the middle of it, you couldn't see the beginning or the end!

He picked a few questions to answer.

"So Delicious's stuff is truly delicious, I've never had anything so tasty! Those who've watched my last livestream exploring So Delicious should know, I used to be nauseated by braised pig's trotters, couldn't even stand the sight of them, but after eating Boss Huang's, not only was I not nauseated, I fell back in love with them. Of course, this only applies to Boss Huang's, don't ask why, just try it."

"Everyone's tired, as long as you're trying to live better, no one's not tired, no one's achieved anything without effort, right?"

While interacting with the livestream audience, the queue kept moving forward.

[Host, switch the camera to the menu please, we're dying to see the menu and those enticing braised foods orz.]

[The comment above, you've just said what I've been dying to say!!! Host, hurry and switch the camera!]

[I want to see too, strongly suggest the host switches the camera!]

He switched the phone to the rear camera and laughed, saying: "Alright, looks like you guys in the livestream can't wait any longer, I'll be up soon, don't be hasty!"

While fans were having breakfast and watching the livestream, the phone screen displayed the black menu text, quite clearly.

Upon seeing the new Fish Ball Soup, everyone was pleasantly surprised.

Seeing many diners holding a steaming bowl of Fish Ball Soup, eating with a blissful expression and saying "delicious".

The fans in the livestream were almost drooling.

The video showed fish balls like oversized pearls, pure and translucent, the high-definition video captured every tiny detail perfectly.

Making it even more tempting!

Making people want to lick the screen!

The chat was buzzing with comments:

[Okay! I admit, Boss Huang's Fish Ball Soup has successfully awakened the craving worm in my stomach... ahhh... can't take it, I want it so much...]

[I can't believe I'm craving through the screen, I need to get up and buy some quick...]

[Wow! Boss Huang quietly released a new Fish Ball Soup! Wait for me, I'll be right there...]

[Tempted, I'm tempted, I just checked it's only over two hours to the commercial street, I'm heading there now!]

[Wow, the comment above is too much! I just checked it's a day to the commercial street, I'm heading over now... nevermind, can't make it!]

[I really want some, but it's too far away, I'm wondering if I can get a delivery person to buy it for me?]

Many local fans, upon seeing that Huang Tao had released a new Fish Ball Soup, immediately picked up their phones, put on their shoes, and headed straight to the commercial street's food festival.
