Chapter 827: 817. Xiaoyun has gone crazy!

After snapping loads of shots of the chestnut cake, Xiaoyun finally said with a complex expression, "You’re lucky that this chestnut cake is a complimentary item, because if it were charged, I really couldn’t approve of it."

The waiter laughed: "We have a very limited stock of these, and the boss said it would be troublesome to continue offering them at 88 a piece without stock, so we simply decided to give them away as freebies."

Xiaoyun: ...

It’s hard to comment. Even a chatterbox like her didn’t know what to say, but thankfully, the internet had plenty mouths to speak on her behalf—

[Just this? Just this? 88? It’s not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth!]

[With 88 I could buy three to five jin of chestnut cookies, one cookie is better than six of these cakes]

[This food exploration trip doesn’t really seem too good... Old restaurants can’t squander their reputation like this...]

Xiaoyun felt a little pained in her heart as well.

She’s from River City, and Changleju happens to be her parents’ favorite restaurant. Now, seeing them employ such poor marketing strategies, she couldn’t help feeling disheartened.

So, she changed the subject: "88 for three pieces—this isn’t chestnut cake, it’s definitely chestnut dices! Let me taste—"

She suddenly stopped talking.

The pastry was so delicate that it melted in her mouth immediately, the rich chestnut flavor was released by the warmth of her mouth, rich, sweet, dense, the happiness brought by the high sugar content was intoxicating.

After all, if it’s a gradual introduction to Spiritual Energy fruits and vegetables from the beginning (like the initial patrons and friends of Lao Song’s family), one would be more accepting.

But for someone like Xiaoyun who had her first encounter—

She slowly swallowed the chestnut cake, no matter how gingerly she tried, she couldn’t stop it from melting between her lips—Damn it! Such a tiny thing disappeared before she could fully taste it!

She knew at this moment she should pick a piece to carefully explain the flavor and complete the food critique task, but as soon as she reached out, she gingerly pinched a piece of the chestnut cake and put it directly into her mouth...

After gobbling up three pieces in quick succession, she then explained to everyone: "Just... It’s normal for people to not be able to control themselves sometimes."

"I have only one thought right now—I hope everyone shares and likes this stream so I can go viral and make money faster. I want to eat ten portions of this 88-a-piece chestnut cake in one go!"

"It’s not its fault for being expensive, it’s my problem!"

Xiaoyun lamented deeply.

The masked waiter understood completely, his eyes revealing understanding: "I get it, when we tasted the sil... cough, I mean, that’s the reaction we had. Now I really want to make money!"

Danmu: ...

[Can’t be? Self-pity? Or blatant advertising?]

[Doesn’t seem like an ad... Xiaoyun, it’s really not necessary, just blink if you’re doing an ad]

[Really unnecessary, Xiaoyun’s reaction just now was too exaggerated]

[But now I’m craving it...]

[Me too...]

[Xiaoyun, ask if they deliver the chestnut cakes. I want to try them]

[Rich guy above!]

[Lame, I thought it was going to be a roast, but it turned out to be blind praise...]

The protest continued in the danmu, but Xiaoyun was already beyond caring.

The food runners bustled about, and waiters delivered plates of bright green, tender spinach and slightly browned scallion pancakes.

Not to mention the spinach, let’s talk about those scallion pancakes, freshly rolled and cooked in the back kitchen, the flavor of local red-tip scallions was domineering!

Even the scallions bought from regular markets, once kneaded into pancakes and fried in oil, emitted a fragrance that would tempt you to stop in your tracks!

And now, the pro max version of the Spiritual Energy scallions was online, combined with the top-quality flour selectively sourced by Changleju, mastered by the chefs’ skillful kneading... They burst forth with an unparalleled fragrant aroma in the hot oil!

At this point, who even cared about continuing the live stream?

Without further ado, Xiaoyun reached out with her chopsticks—

Mmmmmm!!!

And then she stomped her feet like crazy: 288, worth it!!!

She couldn’t care less about the live streaming room anymore and started to bury her head in the dish. Halfway through, she suddenly came to her senses and looked at the waiter next to her, "Can you also serve me that 368 green pepper with tiger skin that you mentioned earlier? I feel like I can still eat."

After a pause, she asked again, "My scallion pancake doesn’t seem very big, in that case, can I also get a serving of the scallion oil noodles you mentioned?"

Bullet Screen: ...

[Xiaoyun has gone crazy!!!]

...

On the other side, Boss Chang was also very satisfied watching the live streamer’s reaction—it was so on point without even saying a word!

Not bad, not bad!

Now, he doesn’t have to worry about attracting customers, his worry is about the restaurant’s reputation. To use a phrase the youngsters say—

Status, pretense.

In summary, Boss Chang now also harbors an ambition—

That one day, when people mention River City, Changleju comes to mind first!

Thinking of Changleju, they should think of four words—worth more than the price!

With this mentality, he looked towards the recommended live streamer, ready for the usual heaps of praise.

But unexpectedly, the male live streamer pushed the chestnut cake to the side and said to the camera:

"This chestnut cake here shows that today, many century-old brands are struggling to survive precisely because they’re too proud."

"For example, this chestnut cake—can three pieces add up to even two whole chestnuts?"

"To dare charge 88 for this is plainly fooling the consumers!"

And on the screen, a waiter was trying to persuade him:

"Please have a taste, our restaurant’s offerings are truly worth much more... You’ll know once you try it."

However, the male live streamer’s expression turned serious:

"Don’t worry, I will pay even if I don’t taste it."

"But you run a business, you can’t forbid customers from giving reviews, can you... what, you’re allowed to charge a killer price of 88, and I can’t speak out?"

The waiter felt pretty helpless and after a moment of silence asked, "If you think it’s too expensive, I wasn’t pushing our restaurant’s limited edition delicacies at first, were I? These classic menu items, their prices are similar to any other Chinese restaurant... How about you cancel this order and choose something else?"

She picked up the plate of chestnut cake, "If you’re not eating, then I’ll take it back!"

The dust cover hadn’t been lifted, so it wouldn’t affect her returning it.

Holding the tablet with sincerity in her eyes, she asked: "Would you like to switch to a premium dish??"

After hearing that, the male live streamer got even angrier, but couldn’t quite pinpoint why, only managing to grunt, "You start using reverse psychology when I point out a problem, huh?"

"I’m telling you, I’ll stick with the expensive one! I won’t return it!"

Joking aside, he had already changed the title of his live stream—

[A New Life for the Century-Old Restaurant—Starting with a 288 Plate of Crown Daisy!]

If he changes the dish now, the title would be misleading, where would the traffic come from?

Seeing this, Boss Chang suddenly slapped his thigh, "Well said! We are not forcing anyone to buy or sell? If you complain something is expensive but still insist on having it, that’s the way to go!"

After contemplating, he managed to suppress his emotions: No, no, no, you can’t get carried away with this, must stay grounded in business!

He composed himself and continued watching, only to find the man who made bold statements uncover the dish and started eating the chestnut cake...

Boss Chang: ...

No need to watch further, the outcome is already determined.
