Chapter 96 Meow Meow
110,357 people.
Ye Qingquan couldn't help rubbing his eyes, then slowly opened his eyes and counted again.
110,497 people.
…In just these few brief seconds, the number of viewers increased by more than a hundred!
"Shit, did someone hire some internet trolls to inflate my stats?" This was Ye Qingquan's first reaction.
He had heard before that when many internet celebrities and even stars are live streaming, in order to not appear too shabby, their teams would sometimes specifically buy various numbers of viewers. Although the number of online viewers was huge, in fact many of them were robots.
But he is not a celebrity or internet celebrity, he is just an ordinary dad!
The field of baby-showing bloggers is so competitive that the first video he posted was completely ignored. The second video showed some improvement, but it was not as popular as this one.
Ye Qingquan once thought that maybe he was not suited to working in the Internet industry. Lanlan was so cute, but his baby-photographing account had no traffic at all. It must be because his video shooting skills were not good enough.
However...looking at the skyrocketing number of viewers in front of him, Ye Qingquan fell into deep thought.
Although the first reaction was that someone hired internet trolls to support him, but looking at the waves of comments, these more than 100,000 viewers were actually real people!
"Could it be that I have some talent in being a baby blogger?" Ye Qingquan stroked his chin and couldn't help but proudly imagine the future. "After the account is established, I can take on advertisements and save money to buy Lanlan a school district house in Beijing and improve her life..."
Ye Qingquan, who was immersed in beautiful fantasies, didn't realize that the barrage was completely different from what he imagined.
【……】
[Silly child, you thought you were born as a baby-showing blogger]
[But I have to say, his kid does have a bit of the aura of self-media traffic and luck! 】
[No, this is too much of a coincidence, right? (Full of question marks) I just clicked on the live video of Zhuyuan next door, and the anchor over there mocked my low salary, then I witnessed the crash of Zhuyuan, and just as I logged out, I saw the roast duck stall that attracted all the customers from Zhuyuan? ? ! ! ! 】
[How delicious is this roast duck? The roast duck next door sells for 4,000 yuan. If the roast duck is better than the one next door, it must sell for tens of thousands =mouthfuls=]
[I heard that the boss is a three-year-old child, and I also heard that the roast duck only costs 100 yuan per piece]
【Three years old?】 Is this true or false? The host quickly takes us to take a closer look at what the roast duck looks like.]
At the beginning, the title of the live broadcast room of Zhuyuan Roast Duck was "A century-old shop regains new vitality". Because of the expensive price of roast duck and the huge queues, it attracted a group of viewers.
Most of the initial audience came to watch the fun, wanting to see how good the roast duck could be to be sold for thousands of yuan and yet so many people would buy it. At that time, the audience's mentality was mainly curious, and there was no hostility.
Later, Lao Hu's sarcastic remark, "It's your problem that it's expensive, not Zhuyuan Roast Duck's problem," directly triggered a surge in traffic.
——Anyone with a little common sense can figure out that for a roast duck sold for 4,000 yuan, the restaurant definitely makes more than 3,000 yuan with tears. The reason is the same as that of luxury bags that can be sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan, mostly because of the brand premium, not because the thing is really worth that much money.
If Zhuyuan just behaved honestly and had a clear attitude, and just made money from the rich and didn't cheat the poor, then there would be nothing wrong with it.
But Lao Hu broadcast the live broadcast in a high-profile manner. Not only that, he also mocked the ordinary audience. This behavior of relying on the power of others to bully others directly aroused public anger!
Not long ago, there was news that a sales clerk at a luxury goods store mocked consumers, and then it was revealed that the cost of a bag that was sold for a million yuan was only two hundred yuan. This news has just triggered a round of discussion, and now the once very famous Zhuyuan Private Kitchen has done the same thing.
Tags such as #Zhuyuan mocks consumers# and #What's so expensive about it? It's been the same price for so many years# quickly became hot searches.
Many people also shared their own experiences.
In order to fulfill his daughter's birthday wish, someone saved money for a long time and wanted to buy a Zhuyuan roast duck, but was turned away with an indifferent attitude and even ridiculed; someone said that he was a successful first-generation entrepreneur, but because he questioned the unreasonable price, he was scolded as a "stinking beggar" by the lobby manager of Zhuyuan.
The climax of the incident came when an anonymous user came out to reveal the truth. This user used to be an apprentice under the chef of Zhuyuan and posted the employee ID of Zhuyuan. The whistleblower claimed that during his apprenticeship, he was tortured, used as free labor, and insulted by the chef Lao Song. He also posted evidence to prove that the cost price of Zhuyuan roast duck was less than 100 yuan.
The onlookers were shocked.
They know about brand premium, but they don’t know that this premium can reach 99%.
[Fuck, the roast duck sold for 4,000 yuan has a cost price of less than 100 yuan. This is really making 4,000 yuan with tears! 】
Following the trending searches, more and more viewers flocked into Zhu Yuan’s live broadcast room to watch the show.
However, no matter how excited the audience in the barrage were, there were still so many people queuing in front of the Zhuyuan Roast Duck stall in reality, so the audience could do nothing about it, and Lao Hu became more and more arrogant.
It wasn't until the little boy on the tricycle passed by and someone shouted "Boss Xiaolan is over there" that the number of people at Zhuyuan's stall began to decrease dramatically...
This reversal came too quickly.
Sure enough, the public has a sharp eye. Only a fool would buy a roast duck for four thousand yuan.
The audience went into a complete frenzy.
At the same time, their curiosity about the roast duck made by the three-year-old boy next door became stronger.
What kind of kid could set up a stall and sell roast duck by himself? Judging from the reactions of the diners, the roast duck must have been very delicious, attracting everyone away at once?
The power of the Internet is strong. Soon someone found the account of the blogger "My Baby is Three and a Half Years Old" through a recent video. After confirming the IP address and comparing it several times, they began to speculate half-doubtfully that the blogger's baby and the boy in the video were the same person.
This led to the start of Ye Qingquan’s live broadcast and the extremely lively number of viewers in the live broadcast room.
Most of the viewers who flocked in because of Zhu Yuan's ridicule of consumers were now all sucked into the live broadcast room of "My Baby is Three and a Half Years Old", causing the live broadcast room to jump to the top of the popularity list!
[Zhu Yuan lost both his wife and his troops, and has completely become a wedding dress for others]
[You deserve it…]
[Blogger, please show us the roast duck (drooling). I’m so curious. I live nearby. If it’s really delicious, I’ll go buy it too.]
[Don’t be too naive. Look at so many people queuing. Will it be your turn? 】
[It feels like it’s just a gimmick. Can a roast duck made by a three-year-old child be delicious? It’s good if it can be baked.]
[+1, I think the stall owner is young and the food is cheap, so it will certainly attract people to buy it, but it may not be that delicious]
In the live broadcast room of "My Baby is Three and a Half Years Old", the audience kept urging Ye Qingquan to come closer and take pictures of the roast duck for them to see.
Because the two keywords "three-year-old child" and "selling roast duck at a stall" are so incompatible, although a group of viewers poured into the barrage, just like Ye Qingquan's previous popular short video, most of the viewers still maintained a half-believing and half-doubting attitude.
Some people even directly claimed that the little blue roast duck was able to attract customers mainly because the stall owner was young and the price was many times cheaper than that of the stall next door.
...After all, this statement is much more believable than something as fantastic as a three-year-old child making a peerless roast duck.
Because the host's camera did not move for a long time, more and more questioning comments supported this statement.
[Why isn’t the anchor moving?] If your child’s roast duck is really that delicious, just take a picture and let us see it. Are you afraid? 】
After seeing these comments, Ye Qingquan finally came to his senses.
How dare someone question his Lanlan’s cooking skills?
Ye Qingquan's face turned grim.
He immediately held his phone forward and focused the camera on the roast duck.
A plump and bright red roast duck appeared before everyone.
There was no collapse in the roast duck at all, because it had just been taken out of the oven and oil was still dripping from it.
At this moment, the little boy just leaned over and skillfully picked up a roast duck from the oven and placed it on the chopping board. The customer queuing in front of him requested that the roast duck be divided into two, half to be taken away whole, and the other half to be sliced into duck fillets.
The little boy picked up the kitchen knife and with a few strokes, the huge roast duck was split in half. Oily juice flowed out, accompanied by hot steam.
Even through the cell phone camera with not so good pixels, the audience can see the rosy and oily duck skin, which reflects the light and is thin and crispy. Before cutting the duck, the little boy skillfully scraped the duck skin twice with the back of the knife. The crisp sound was so crisp that it made your bones crisp.
The duck meat inside has just the right amount of fat and delicate texture, not to mention the rich juice that flows out, which is very fresh...
After a moment of silence, the barrage of comments exploded.
【? ? ? 】
[Really, really he did it? 】
[I don’t know if he roasted the duck himself, but he really knows how to carve the duck. . It seems that Mengpo soup was not drunk completely...】
[Fuck, this kid looks so small, but how can he cut the roast duck so neatly? And the way he scrapes the roast duck with the back of the knife is so authentic. I am so greedy, so greedy, so greedy, so greedy.]
[I can smell the aroma even through the screen (drooling). Is that the duck sauce next to it? It’s so high-end.]
[The roast duck's outer skin and the reddish-brown sugar color are simply perfect. It would take at least ten years of experience to make this! No wonder the guests of Zhuyuan are attracted here. If it were me, I would come here too! ! ! Question diners, understand diners, and become a diners】
…
[Don't be too confident. You are too gullible. This is all just a script created by the self-media. This kid might have been professionally trained, and he might not have roasted the duck himself, haha]
[I agree. Maybe the entire live broadcast screen is synthesized by AI. AI can do anything now]
There were all kinds of comments in the barrage, some were crying with envy, some questioned the authenticity, and some even identified the entire live broadcast as AI... All kinds of quarrels have pushed the popularity of the live broadcast room to a new height.
More and more viewers flocked into the live broadcast room.
Everyone's attention was focused on the roast duck, some discussing the boy's technique of slicing the duck, the quality of the roast duck, and even the authenticity of the video.
...This also resulted in a barrage of comments being drowned out and almost no one noticed it.
[Does anyone of you find this boy look familiar? ? Am I alone? ? ? ! 】
