In the Metamorphosis forum, a chaotic war is going on. The entire forum seems to be divided into two factions, and the two sides are fighting each other to the death.
The topic of their argument was exactly about Xu Shang's "Wu Dalang Shaobing".
One side praised Wu Dalang's sesame seed cake to the sky, saying how delicious it tasted.
While the other side said that Wu Dalang's sesame cake was just okay, and there was no need to exaggerate; some said that the taste was just average; some even said that it was simply unpalatable, and those people who praised it in the forum were all internet trolls hired by Xu Shang's family.
Xu Shang naturally knew how delicious the cakes he made were.
Not to mention the passive talent that Xu Shang gained after upgrading, the snack chef profession itself has strict requirements on ingredients and continuous improvement in the production process, which is enough to make this cake a very high-quality delicacy.
Xu Shang could even understand those who said it was just average. After all, it’s hard to satisfy everyone and there will always be people who don’t like to eat it.
But he couldn't understand what was going on with this disgusting comment.
There is no way his cakes are bad!
Could it be that I have offended someone?
Is someone deliberately blackening himself?
Xu Shang frowned and clicked on a few people's posts. He found that those who said the cakes were not delicious were not just making up stories, nor were they hired by others to discredit him.
The Wu Dalang sesame cakes they eat may indeed be just okay, average, or even unpalatable!
Because they...
What you eat is not the cake you made yourself!
One post said:
"I drove over a hundred miles to Sanma Town just to try the Wu Dalang sesame cake you guys praised. I was also thinking of going to Tianya Village to take a look. But, what the hell, it's just a cake? The sesame cakes sold downstairs in my house are better than this! Can you guys who praise it have some shame? How much did you get paid?"
The poster also posted a photo of a cookie with two bites taken out of it that he threw into the trash can.
There were many netizens who did not know the truth but firmly believed that Xu Shang could not make such delicious cakes. They immediately launched an offensive to add fuel to the fire.
"I was wondering, how could Xu Shang make cakes, and make them so delicious! The show's whitewashing is too unskillful!"
"The truth is out! This time the truth is really out!"
"Ha! There are so many people bragging in the forum. Rich people are awesome. They can afford to hire so many trolls!"
Of course, there were also comments such as "I've tried it and it's obviously delicious", and "Everyone has different tastes, there's no need to criticize it just for the sake of criticizing it if you think it's not delicious".
However, these comments did not play a mediating role. Instead, they caused many people to argue, quarrel, and even attack and insult each other. I think the big melee in the forum was triggered by these posts.
Xu Shang knew that he seemed to have taken the blame for someone else once again.
In fact, Xu Shang was not surprised at all about being imitated.
Nowadays, people have almost no awareness of copyright, and China started out by relying on piracy and counterfeiting. Xu Shang realized that he should perhaps register a trademark and brand name.
But even so, he actually doesn't want to claim the brand as his own. After all, a name with such historical origins should not belong to a certain person.
Xu Shang didn't think it was a big deal that people in the town imitated him, he was willing to compete with them on the same platform. But if they used his name to damage his reputation, he would not take it lightly.
This issue must be dealt with immediately to resolve the crisis before we get stuck in a quagmire where it is difficult to prove our innocence.
Xu Shang immediately opened a thread.
"I'm Xu Shang. To all the friends above, the cakes you're eating are not made by me at all!"
As soon as this post was published, it immediately attracted the attention of many people in the forum.
"The real master has appeared!"
"Everyone, come and see what Xu Shang has to say!"
Xu Shang compared the details of the cakes he made with the pictures he found in the forum and explained them one by one to his friends.
"First of all, although these cakes look about the same size as mine, they are actually not as thick as mine. In fact, they just use less stuffing than I do. Look at how thick the stuffing is in my cakes, and then look at theirs, and you will know whether what you bought is a knockoff or not!"
"Everyone, take a look at the crust of my pancake. My pancake crust is almost entirely golden yellow, but not burnt anywhere. Look at theirs again. Some are just average in color, not as golden as mine. Others, haha, are burnt. Have my pancakes ever been burnt?"
"Let's compare the fillings. My fillings must be hand-chopped to ensure the texture when eaten. Look at theirs, it's as thin as mud. How can such meat fillings have the same texture as mine? Not to mention the secret ratio of my fillings, they can't learn it at all!"
This popular science post was like a depth charge, and immediately created a sensation in the forum.
"Really! It's completely different!"
"The cakes made by Emperor Xu are still the most delicious. They make people want to eat them just by looking at them! I am really greedy!"
"Great! I was wondering how such a delicious cake could be bad. I didn't stop me from explaining so much to Brother Xu!"
Of course, there are still some people who are stubborn and don't believe Xu Shang.
But the vast majority of neutral forum users have already won over Xu Shang's well-founded posts. Some of those who previously posted slanderous posts have even publicly apologized and criticized those unscrupulous businessmen.
Public opinion on the forum had obviously completely turned to Xu Shang, but Xu Shang felt that this was not enough.
Imagine if someone came all the way to Sanma Town just to eat his own Wu Dalang sesame cake, but ended up eating something else and found that it tasted terrible, I'm afraid I would be very angry if it were me.
We must find a way to do more publicity to clear our name!
Xu Shang glanced at the camera he had just acquired and thought to himself, isn’t this the bigger publicity he needed?
He wants to shoot a video to debunk fake news!
However, after getting the camera in his hand, Xu Shang did not take action immediately, but opened his own lottery pool.
The CD for the weekly lottery pool has been rolled over, and the reason why Xu Shang resisted drawing was precisely for this moment.
Since the profession drawn from the lottery pool will be affected by the environment, he has prepared a camera and a laptop, so the prize pool should give him a related profession!
Best video host!
Best video host!
Xu Shang muttered a few words in his mind and chose to start the lottery. As the prize pool turned, the first profession quickly stopped. After seeing this profession, Xu Shang suddenly didn't know what to say.
What the hell!
How come there is even such a profession?
