Wang Tiantian is a popular food streamer on Douyu. She occasionally does live streams to explore different restaurants. Today's episode was a full live stream, and she didn't expect it to be so successful. There was already a lot of buzz about her even before she started eating.
She immediately beamed and turned her phone so that her viewers on the other side of the screen could see the store's interior design.
Although it is winter, the plants in the rice food shop are still full of life. The leaves of the water lily extend along the wall overhead, and the small, off-white flowers are hidden among the coin-sized leaves. Just looking at them is refreshing.
The brightly colored guppies in the fish tank by the wall attracted the attention of many viewers, while the abalone that moved slowly in the aquarium ignited the enthusiasm in the live stream.
[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! What's that?! A live abalone this big?!]
[Are you kidding me? How could such a large live abalone just be left here like that? Aren't you afraid someone will steal it?]
I take back what I just said. The store's decor is really nice, and despite the price, I'd still be happy to bring my kids here on weekends.
Is this place themed around a primeval jungle? It looks so beautiful, I have to take a screenshot!
[The basic package is only 980 yuan; even with the renovation included, it's not worth that price!]
[1986 dishes and a snack, 3980 for the premium set meal—friends, this is highway robbery!]
[I'm so touched. They could have just robbed us, but they still gave us a bunch of radishes, sob sob.]
[Is this radish edged with gold? Radishes cost 50 cents a pound near my house. We're not going to eat at a construction site, are the people who artificially inflated the price a shill?]
Seeing that the topic had finally been steered back to price, Wang Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as she turned the camera back to her.
"The waiter just told me that if I were alone, he suggested I order the 980 yuan single-person set meal, but seeing how curious everyone is about this restaurant, I'll just order the premium set meal instead."
"Excuse me, beautiful lady, our premium meal is limited to the first five customers each month. The last one has just been sold."
Xiao Tao pointed to one of the private rooms and kindly suggested:
"Miss, our dishes are all quite large. If you're alone, the basic set meal would be enough."
Wang Tiantian found it strange: "Limit of five per month? How does your boss do business? And you're advising me to order less, aren't you afraid your boss will get angry?"
Xiao Tao quickly explained, "Our boss is overjoyed. As long as you can finish your food and don't waste it, no one will stop you from ordering as much as you want. The only concern is that if you order too much, it will not only be a waste but also upset your stomach."
A while ago, a customer ordered a meal for two people. He couldn't finish it but didn't want to waste it, so he kept stuffing food into his mouth while crying, until he needed to take digestive pills.
"Don't worry, I'll pack up any leftovers to take home. I definitely won't waste any. Give me the 1,980 mid-range set meal."
Wang Tiantian's impression of the restaurant improved considerably, and she started picking out dishes from the set meals using her tablet:
"Give me a lemon-spicy radish greens salad, vegetarian abalone with mushrooms, a mushroom and radish hot pot, honey-roasted pork chops, peach blossom honey water, and a serving of steamed buns with sugar powder. And for dessert..."
She hesitated for a moment, then asked curiously, "What is this 'ping-pong grape'? Is it just a plate of grapes?"
Xiao Tao fell silent the moment she saw the camera; she completely forgot what she had prepared to say, and after struggling for a while, her face turned red.
"It's...it's grapes."
[Hilarious! A plate of grapes counts as dessert? The shop owner must be laughing all the way to the bank, making a profit of 1980 yuan!]
The young lady seems to have a bit of social anxiety.
[This store not only sells radishes at exorbitant prices, but grapes are also this expensive? Is this reasonable? @NingchengPriceBureau.]
Let's see what grapes costing two thousand yuan look like!
Come on, this is just a trendy online restaurant. What could possibly be good there? If radishes are delicious, I'll eat my keyboard.
The comments section immediately erupted in chaos.
...
...
Xu Milu, who was steaming sugar buns in the kitchen, was unaware of what had happened in front of her.
She skillfully pinched the dough into plump, adorable little pieces, rolling them out with lightning speed, each sheet as round as a photocopy.
Even the fast-moving Da Liu and Xiao Mo couldn't get a hand in, so they could only sit on the side peeling radishes.
The dough is filled with cooked red bean paste, which is made from this year's new red beans and stir-fried with flame-glazed leaf sugar powder. It is sweet even when eaten on its own.
After the steamed buns are cooked, they are white and plump, looking like New Year's picture dolls.
Xiao Tao nervously told Xu Milu what had happened, and even showed her the live stream on a certain platform:
"Boss, what should we do? Should we explain?"
Xu Milu shook her head: "At times like this, the more you explain, the worse it gets. Just ignore it and serve her the food normally. Her steamed buns are ready, so bring up the mushroom and radish hot pot first."
Xiao Tao ordered very quickly, almost running to serve the dishes.
...
...
As soon as the steaming hot pot of mushrooms, radishes, and three delicacies was served, Wang Tiantian was immediately captivated by it.
The broth was bubbling away, and the white steam carrying a delicious aroma wafted over, making even the tofu and mushrooms inside seem extraordinary.
"It smells so good."
Wang Tiantian muttered something, but knew it couldn't eat it yet, so she turned her gaze to the steamed buns with sugar powder on the other side.
The plump, white buns were round and chubby. You could feel their wonderfully fluffy texture when you squeezed them with your hands. Take a bite and the sweet and delicate red bean paste filling bursts out like a juicy broth. Wang Tiantian licked her lips in a slightly embarrassed manner.
"It's so sweet—no, it's not the kind of sweetness that's overly sweet. Hmm, how should I describe it?"
