The boy with glasses once again took the lead.

He took a deep breath, as if using all his courage, and tremblingly picked up a slice of beef with his chopsticks, which was covered in dark green broth and still had a few specks of oil on it.

He closed his eyes tightly, his brows furrowed, and suddenly stuffed the beef into his mouth!

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

All eyes were on his face, waiting for his reaction.

The boy's brows furrowed even more, as if he was trying his best to endure some indescribable shock.

But just two or three seconds later, his eyes widened suddenly, as if he had witnessed some incredible miracle!

Immediately afterwards, he chewed much faster, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down rapidly, accompanied by a long, satisfied sigh.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! What the hell is this flavor?!"

His face flushed with excitement, and his voice trembled as he spoke, “It’s a little bitter at first, but then comes a refreshing sweetness! Like the scent of grass after the rain, and the coolness of mint!”

"The beef is so tender it melts in your mouth, with a rich meaty aroma... This flavor is so complex! So layered! It's amazing! Boss Zhou! You're my god!"

He rambled on incoherently as he eagerly reached for his chopsticks again, this time aiming for the beef offal in the bowl!

The power of role models is boundless!

Seeing that the first "test subject" not only didn't die, but instead showed such a ecstatic expression, how could the others possibly restrain themselves?!

"Really? Is it that exaggerated?"

"Who cares! I'll try it too!"

"Leave some for me! Don't fucking eat it all by yourself!"

In an instant, dozens of chopsticks fell into the large basin like raindrops!

"Um--!"

"Wow! This tastes amazing! It's just like snail rice noodles! The smell makes me want to die, but the taste makes me want to go to heaven!"

"After bitterness comes sweetness! Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful! This complex flavor is simply dancing on the tip of the tongue!"

"This offal is cleaned so thoroughly! There's no unpleasant smell at all, and it's crispy and flavorful!"

"It's addictive! It's really addictive! This taste is addictive! I just can't stop eating it!"

The fans who were just moments ago suffering from the smell and wearing masks have now transformed into gluttonous beasts, burying their heads in the food and uttering indistinct sounds of praise.

The atmosphere on the scene suddenly changed, instantly switching from hesitation and resistance to a heated food-grabbing frenzy!

There were dozens of people, each taking a bite of beef with their chopsticks, a spoonful of soup, and a piece of offal.

In a flash, within just a few minutes, the huge pot of beef offal hotpot that originally looked terrifying was completely devoured.

Even the little bit of dark green soup at the bottom of the bowl was scraped clean by several ruthless people with spoons!

Those who had finished eating were still craving more, smacking their lips and looking at Zhou Yang with shining eyes, as if they had seen a savior.

"It's so delicious! It smells amazing! Give me one! No, no! I want two! I'll take one home for my dad to try!"

"I need one! Right now! Immediately!"

"Stop scrambling! Line up! Boss Zhou, hurry up! My mouth is watering!"

"Two hundred and forty-nine? That's a great deal! I'd pay five hundred for this taste!"

The trolls who were just spamming the live stream chat have now fallen silent.

The live chat was filled with blank comments: "???", "Really?", "Hurry up and eat, streamer!", and "This is not scientific!"

Looking at the scene before him, which was so intense it was almost out of control, Zhou Yang's smile grew even brighter.

This is exactly the effect I wanted!

The system's task is a success!

"Okay, okay! Don't rush! Everyone gets a share! Plenty!"

With a wave of his hand and boundless enthusiasm, he quickly set up all the other cooking pots he had brought.

Lighting the fire, pouring the soup, adding the ingredients—the movements were fluid and seamless!

As several large pots were heated to full capacity at the same time, the unique, indescribable aroma intensified once again!

As if it had taken on a physical form, it transformed into an invisible torrent, flowing mightily along the bluestone pavement of Huaiyang Old Street, spreading, diffusing, and permeating into distant places...

Huaiyang Old Street, as the old city area of ​​Jindu, carries the memories of several generations.

Most of the residents here are retired elderly people who go to bed early and get up early and have regular lifestyles.

This is the time when they finish their morning exercise and return from grocery shopping.

This unprecedented and overwhelming "odor" naturally did not escape their sensitive noses.

"Ugh! What's that smell?!"

"Who's cooking in their septic tank? How shameless!"

"No, no, this smell... why does it smell so familiar yet so disgusting?"

"It smells like compost from a rural outhouse? And it even has a... boiled cow dung smell?"

Several elderly men and women, leaning on canes and carrying vegetable baskets.

Frowning at the sudden stench, they all followed the source of the smell, muttering to each other, and came over with disgusted expressions.

When they pushed through the crowd of onlookers and saw the row of pots in front of Zhou Yang's stall, bubbling away with dark green bubbles and emitting a terrible stench, they were amazed.

These well-informed elderly people were completely dumbfounded! Their worldviews were shaken like never before!

An elderly man with gray hair, wearing a Zhongshan suit, pointed a trembling finger at Zhou Yang's stall, his face ashen.

"Good heavens! This is truly good heavens! I've lived for over seventy years, and this is the first time I've ever seen anything like this! Young people these days are absolutely lawless!"

He took a deep breath, seemingly trying to calm his agitated emotions, but the stench he inhaled only made him more irritable.

"In broad daylight! Under the clear sky! You actually... openly cook excrement here?"

"And you're cooking with so many people watching! No matter how weird you internet celebrities are, there's a limit, right? This is simply disturbing the peace!"

In the old man's simple worldview, this scene was simply a mad act that was immoral and challenged the bottom line of human civilization!

"Yeah! It's outrageous! The smell is giving me a headache!"

An elderly woman carrying a small cabbage covered her mouth and nose, shaking her head repeatedly with a look of deep sorrow and indignation.

"Exactly, this isn't doing business, it's utterly insane! Are you guys desperate for fame?"

The older man thought about it more and more and felt that this matter was serious and could not be tolerated!

He had heard before that some internet celebrities would do anything outrageous to put on a show, even eat shit!

He never expected to encounter someone openly cooking excrement today!

The old man suddenly pulled out a smart phone with a shiny screen and extra-large font, his fingers trembling with anger as he forcefully tapped the dial button on the screen.

"You young lads are a cancer on society! You pollute the environment and corrupt social morals. This old man is going to have to get involved in this mess today!"

"I'm calling the police! I want the officers to arrest you ignorant brats and teach you a lesson!"

The old man's fingers trembled, and his spittle almost sprayed onto Zhou Yang's face.
