Chapter 162: Don't Disturb My Business!


Meanwhile!

Several food influencer bloggers from Douyin were rushing to the food festival.

That's right.

They saw the trending search term on their local hot topics that kept climbing.

They learned there's a booth called Delicious Restaurant at this year's food festival.

The Fish Ball Soup is exceptionally tasty!

Everything else is also particularly delicious!

So they all wanted to explore the booth and see how this Delicious Restaurant booth tastes.

The reason they were checking the local trending topics was that they were racking their brains over content for their store-exploring livestreams.

They've managed to amass nearly a million followers thanks to their high-quality, non-repetitive food videos that keep that huge fanbase engaged.

The fans are generally quite fickle, and if the quality of even one episode drops, they'll leave without hesitation.

But the problem now is they've already covered all the well-known foods in Wenling City.

Going to other cities is comparatively troublesome.

Of course.

If necessary, they'd still go to other cities to film.

They had thought about filming at this year's food festival.

But they've already filmed all those hotels and restaurants at the festival.

Last year's food festival footage didn't make much of an impact, didn't even create a ripple.

As they were fretting!

They saw a trending search entry about "Fish Ball Soup" on local hot topics.

Opening it up.

Turns out it mentioned a booth called Delicious Restaurant with excellent Fish Ball Soup at the food festival.

Plenty of people in the comments expressed their anticipation, wanting to try it.

This Delicious Restaurant is the only small restaurant at this year's food festival and already gaining attention.

They quickly sensed a business opportunity and decisively decided to head to the food festival and livestream from this Delicious Restaurant booth.

So, here they are.

They met at the outskirts of the food festival.

"Is the Fish Ball Soup from this Delicious Restaurant booth really that good?"

"Who cares if it's good or not, this Delicious Restaurant booth is already trending on local hot topics, clearly the most popular booth at the entire food festival, even more popular than those internet-famous snack stalls. We video creators should obviously latch onto this trend, right..."

"I saw on the local hot topics, many netizens are commenting, saying the food from the Delicious Restaurant booth is incredibly delicious. If that's the case, it should taste pretty good, right?"

"I also heard this Delicious Restaurant is a small restaurant! If that's true, then it's the only small restaurant ever at any food festival! Just that hype alone is enough to grab attention..."

"Let's go in first! This booth is at number 88, we need to enter through Entrance B..."

They chatted while following the food festival guide map, entered through Entrance B, and saw the impressive queue at the entrance.

Whoa~

So many people lining up!

Looks like this Delicious Restaurant booth is really popular!

Seems like we made the right choice coming here!

They set up their cameras and started livestreaming.

This way, the audience will have a better, more direct experience.

"Hello everyone, we're at the famously trending Delicious Restaurant booth today."

"Fish Ball Soup, Roast Duck, Nutritional Fish Soup, various braised foods, and steamed ribs with lotus leaf sticky rice are the specialties of this booth. Later, I'll try these for you, to see how this booth really tastes?"

"For now, let's first feel the bustling popularity of this booth."

With that, they headed straight to the Delicious Restaurant booth while filming the queuing customers.

When they got to the front, they discovered that the owner is actually a chef and quite a handsome guy.

Aside from being handsome, he was especially cool and aloof...

Seeing these food influencer bloggers come to check out the booth, he was not enthusiastic at all, just glanced at them casually and continued his work...

There wasn't the slightest bit of intent to curry favor with the food bloggers.

This is crazy~

The bloggers, used to being warmly received by businesses during store visits, felt a bit disgruntled but decided to capitalize on the buzz.

They still approached with smiles, cameras in hand.

Maybe if they came forward and revealed their identities, the owner would bring out the food for them to taste.

"Boss, your booth is really popular!"

They smiled lightly: "We're food exploration bloggers, here today to check out your booth and also to interview you. When would you be available for an interview?"

Huang Tao was swamped and had no time for them!

He didn't want to waste his precious time with these food bloggers messing around.

Busy slicing roast duck, Huang Tao glanced up at them and continued his work, politely refusing: "Sorry, I don't have time for interviews, you better go interview other booths!"

The food bloggers: "..."

Even after revealing their identities, they were flat-out rejected...

You know, many businesses eagerly want them to visit and promote them.

Yet this boss doesn't want free publicity and hands it over to others.

Is he stupid?

Huang Tao saw them lingering there, seriously affecting the queuing customers behind, smiled, and gently reminded, "Folks, if you're buying something, please line up, if not, please don't block the customers behind, thank you."

Other customers quickly chimed in.

"Yeah... if you're not buying, move on! Don't hinder Boss Huang's business! And don't affect our purchases!"

"Our Boss Huang is busy, no appointment, please leave..."

"Hey hey, make way, it's my turn now, don't block me..."

The TikTok food bloggers wanted to say something, but Huang Tao simply didn't want to engage with them...

Moreover, the queuing customers were getting impatient too.

They almost wanted to shout, "If I can't stay here, there are other places that welcome me," and then proudly wave their sleeves and leave.

But they couldn't shout!

And they couldn't just wave their sleeves and leave!

Because the fans nearly laughed themselves silly seeing them get snubbed.

They even praised the boss for having a temper!

Fans all requested them to taste the food at this stall and review it.

For this, they showered them with rewards.

The number of people watching the livestream skyrocketed.

What does this mean?

It means more businesses will want to collaborate with them due to their livestreaming abilities.

That would mean a flood of cash coming their way!

They couldn't bring themselves to leave!

But this queue was quite long!

How long would it take?

Got it!

They walked to the front of the queue and tapped the five in front.

"Buddies, we have something urgent, I'll give each of you 200 yuan if you sell us your spots, okay?"

200 yuan?

Buy my spot?

Do we look like people short of money?

Who are you insulting?

The five, led by Xue Kai at the front, shook their heads without hesitation.

Refused!

The few food vloggers from Douyin: "..."

Not enough?

"How about 500?"

"Not selling!"

"At most 1000, deal?"

"Not selling! No amount of money will do!"

Xue Kai and his group, not lacking in money, refused outright.

Besides, their wives were waiting for the nourishing fish soup to support breastfeeding!

Their babies, waiting hungrily, depended on this.

And Boss Huang just released a new product!

They ignored the group and began to order food.

The five food vloggers from Douyin reluctantly asked the other queuers behind them.

No surprise!

All refused them without hesitation.

It made them almost question life!

These days, people would choose food over money...

It seems the food at this stall is truly tempting!

The customers in the front wouldn't sell, and they didn't want the spots in the back, so they had to fall in line.

Waited for about half an hour.

Finally, it was their turn.

They ordered one of each item.

Holding their ordered meals, they found seats in the resting area,

and turned the camera to the food.

Picking up a fish ball, they took a bite.

The delicious soup squirted out, the meat inside was very fresh and tender, smooth and savory, firm and bouncy, with a rich and fragrant flavor that lingered.

A tiny fish ball could be so springy, so delicious!

This completely stunned the food vloggers...

After taking a bite, all the vloggers couldn't help but express their amazement.

"Wow, this fish ball is so bouncy it could fly, it's so fresh I almost lost my eyebrows..."

They've reviewed many eateries.

Plenty of high-end hotels too!

But when they had this Fish Ball Soup, their reaction was particularly intense.

The joy, happiness, and ecstasy on their faces never appeared at any other store.

Exactly!

They were all blown away by the Fish Ball Soup!

The livestream audience, seeing they weren't speaking, almost went crazy with anticipation.

Everyone was curious about how the Fish Ball Soup tasted.

Urging them to quickly describe it.

Once they collected themselves, they all described the deliciousness of the Fish Ball Soup to their fans.

The fans' appetites were successfully piqued.

They wanted to eat!

"Fantastic! A five-hour train ride and I can taste such delicious fish balls."

"Sorry to the person above, I'm right near the shopping street, planning to visit the food festival, I'll head to the Delicious Restaurant stand for some Fish Ball Soup."

"Haha, I'm already on my way, thanks to the host for scouting it out."

"With such delicious Fish Ball Soup, I gotta go try it too..."
