Upon hearing this, Xu An suddenly remembered the real reason he had come to Xu's Braised Food Shop. His hands, which were originally meant to be pressed down, were raised instead. With a clatter, he pushed open the roller shutter door, and the three of them walked out of the shop together and stood in front of the challenge platform.

Many of the onlookers outside the store had dispersed, but more than ten people remained, including Yu Liang.

During the seven-day opening event of Xu's Braised Food Shop, he gained 23,000 followers, and these followers were extremely engaged. During those seven days, each of his blog posts received over 2,000 likes, over 500 comments, and over 3,000 shares! Even the three product promotion posts achieved the same results!

This data is comparable to that of some big bloggers with hundreds of thousands of followers.

Yu Liang, who became popular again thanks to Xu's Braised Food Shop, naturally wouldn't miss this last chance to ride on the coattails of Xu's Braised Food Shop's popularity. He still came before the shop opened and faithfully recorded the brave warriors who dared to take on the challenge today.

After seeing that someone had successfully completed the challenge again today, Yu Liang immediately edited a blog post and published it on his account.

Almost the instant the message was successfully sent, the sound of sirens was heard. Then, an enforcement vehicle stopped nearby, and several law enforcement officers got out of the car and said that Xu's Braised Food Shop might have food safety issues!

Yu Liang's eyes lit up immediately—this was a major plot twist! As long as he posted this message on his account, it would definitely generate a new wave of buzz!

Although I've capitalized on the popularity of Xu's Braised Food Shop, on the other hand, haven't I also brought a lot of attention to the shop? This topic is so explosive that even if I didn't say anything, someone else would have already shared it!

Everyone looks out for themselves, and I wasn't spreading rumors, just stating the facts! At worst, when the results are announced and it turns out to be a misunderstanding, I can just post another blog post to clarify. I'm just profiting from this publicity twice!

After some internal struggle, Yu Liang ultimately couldn't control himself and took a photo of law enforcement officers taking samples at the scene, adding a short caption to his new blog post.

'Xu's Braised Food Shop is suspected of having food safety issues; law enforcement officers have banned it from operating!'

The netizens who were waiting in front of Yu Liang's account for him to post pictures of the first prize award ceremony immediately went wild. There were few likes, but the number of reposts and comments skyrocketed at an astonishing speed, reaching more than 600 in just five minutes! And it is still climbing!

"No way! I just won their braised food in a raffle yesterday, it's already on its way, am I even going to eat it?!"

'Suspected, but there's still a certain probability that it isn't...'

"Haha, I watched him build a magnificent mansion, I watched him host lavish banquets, and then I watched his mansion collapse. In less than a week, it was truly an extreme reversal!"

'......'

Just as Yu Liang was overjoyed at the soaring data, the shutter of Xu's Braised Food Shop opened, and three young men walked out. Not seeing Xu An, Yu Liang was about to turn away, not paying much attention, but then footsteps came from inside the shop again. Xu An led the man who had just successfully completed the challenge to the front of the platform!

Could it be that the owner of Xu's Braised Food Shop is still thinking about giving out awards at this crucial moment?

Just as Yu Liang had guessed, Xu An and the challenger stood face to face in front of the challenge platform, their right hands clasped in a friendly manner, and Xu An's clear, youthful voice rang out at the store entrance.

"Congratulations! You are the third person to win the first prize in Xu's Braised Food Shop's opening event! You have successfully won the first prize of 10,000 yuan in cash!"

Xu An's voice grew louder and louder as he spoke, attracting the attention of the few onlookers present. At this moment, Zhang Dezhen also came out of the shop, carrying a tray covered with red velvet cloth in both hands, on which was placed a neat stack of hundred-yuan bills.

As Xu An handed the banknote to the successful challenger, a soft clap rang out in the room. This clap snapped the others out of their surprise, and they instinctively joined in the applause...

Yu Liang's eyes lit up again, and he snapped a few more photos before editing the blog post and publishing it on his account.

Despite numerous difficulties, the last brave warrior to successfully complete the challenge won a cash prize of 10,000 yuan!

This blog post, taken alone, is perfectly normal, at most evoking a bit of envy and jealousy. But the previous post had just sparked a frenzy, and now this one has appeared, making netizens even more excited, causing all the data for this post to surge again.

'？？？'

'No way, am I seeing things? This shop isn't even allowed to operate, and the owner isn't worried at all, he even has the mood to give out prize money to the challengers?'

Based on the owner's behavior, I think there's nothing wrong with his food. Maybe someone is jealous of his business and maliciously reported him. I've encountered that before...

'It's all a show, absolutely a show!'

'It seems like the blog posts were published in the wrong order. The first prize was announced first, then the law enforcement officers appeared!'

'......'

In less than twenty minutes, Yu Liang's account followers suddenly surged by a significant amount...

Old Wu had already stepped out of the shop with his thermos when the alarm went off. Seeing Xu An's shop go from bustling to deserted, he couldn't help but sigh.

The curse on this shop not only didn't go away, but it seems to have gotten even stronger, and this time it went out of business in less than a week.
