Chapter 454 Whatever You Say Is What It Is
Hong Yucheng watched the man speak, and in the first few seconds, a look of confusion even appeared on his face.
The term "group buying" is a concept that has been forgotten in life for a very long time in the business and social circles he has been in for a long time.
So much so that when I first heard it, I almost didn't react to what it meant.
Before Hong Yucheng could reply, the messages on the forum flashed rapidly.
"Damn, you don't have a kitchen, what are you stealing!"
One longtime customer angrily sent a message followed by three angry emojis.
"I have a large flat with an open kitchen. Please give me the spot!"
Soon after, another diner also spoke out, and the message was followed by a photo of the spacious kitchen.
In the photo, the kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances and the marble countertops are gleaming.
"I'm so angry. Those without kitchens have grabbed it, but those with kitchens have nothing."
At this point, the carnivore replied: "That only means you still need to practice (smiley face)."
A slightly sarcastic reply shocked the fans who didn't get a reservation spot.
I thought this guy was too arrogant. Isn’t this a naked provocation?
Everyone turned their attention and launched a fierce offensive against the "carnivores".
Message alert sounds rang continuously.
Hong Yucheng looked at the excited crowd in front of him on the phone screen and felt a little amused.
He was a little skeptical whether this "carnivore" had really grabbed a reservation spot or was just looking for trouble.
Out of curiosity, Hong Yucheng flipped through the chat history and found that this "carnivore" was not active and rarely spoke, which was indeed very suspicious.
Fortunately, there were other people who shared his suspicions.
"Are you just here to show off your presence? If you have the guts, post a screenshot of your appointment!"
Just as Hong Yucheng was about to type the same question in the dialog box, the "carnivore" on the screen sent him a screenshot, which was the page showing the successful appointment.
The chat page was silent for two seconds.
Then, several messages popped up: "Wow, I really got it."
"This luck"
There was surprise and a hint of envy in his words.
Seeing this, Hong Yucheng typed in the dialog box: "Okay, what time is your appointment?"
The other party quickly replied: "8:30 in the morning"
Seeing this time, Hong Yucheng couldn't help but pause.
When the other diners saw this reply, the atmosphere immediately became lively again.
"You're crazy. You want Boss Su to come to your house and cook at 8 o'clock in the morning?"
"Such a heavy meal so early in the morning?"
"No wonder I didn't get one. I chose noon and it kept saying I couldn't get a reservation!"
When Hong Yucheng heard these discussions, he subconsciously flipped through the chat history.
Sure enough, he found that many people chose the lunch period between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., which is the normal meal time.
The dinner period from 4pm to 7pm is extremely popular and reservations are snapped up in seconds as soon as they are opened.
On the contrary, almost no one considers this period in the early morning because it is so inconsistent with normal dining habits.
This "carnivore" was able to grab a reservation by cleverly exploiting a loophole in everyone's stereotyped thinking.
After some discussion, the other diners suddenly realized this, and many of them immediately regretted it to death.
Yes, although eating stir-fried dishes at 8:30 in the morning does sound a bit outrageous, it was Boss Su’s cooking!
As long as it’s made by Boss Su, I’d be willing to be ready to enjoy the delicious food at any time, not to mention 8 o’clock in the morning, even 24 hours a day!
When Hong Yucheng first saw the time reserved by "Carnivore", he was a little speechless.
But they have already got a reservation, so no matter what time it is in the morning, the most important thing is to be able to eat the food.
So, he typed, "No need to share the bill, but you can come along. I'll pay you as usual, but I'll decide what to eat."
Not long after the message was sent, the other party quickly replied: "Brother, you are too domineering. I also have dishes I want to eat."
Hong Yucheng looked at the reply from "Carnivore" and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, as if he hadn't seen it at all. He continued typing: "I'll call and send a batch of high-end ingredients right now, such as king crab, lobster, black abalone, and wagyu beef. I'll let Boss Su do what he wants when the time comes."
As soon as this news was released, it caused quite a stir.
The next second, the message that "Carnivore" had just sent suddenly disappeared, replaced by a prompt: "Carnivore withdrew a message."
Then, "Carnivore" quickly typed, "No problem! Big Brother! Whatever you say is fine! I can do it!"
The speed at which the attitude changed was astonishing.
Everyone was immediately excited.
"I still like the way you were so unruly just now!"
"This reversal is too fast!"
"This expression changes faster than turning the pages of a book!"
"A local tycoon is a local tycoon. He can get people over with just a few words!"
"I can testify that someone just said 'I have something I want to eat'!"
One person posted a GIF of a man kneeling down and hugging his thigh, and wrote: "Hey, bro, dear bro, can I bring my own bowl and chopsticks?"
"Do you mind having another mouth? You guys definitely can't finish all the food. I'll just eat what's left!"
"I'll just have some vegetable soup!"
“I can wash the dishes!”
"I can help Boss Su!"
"I'm responsible for poison testing!"
"I can warm the bed!"
All kinds of strange news keep emerging.
The two of them mixing together seemed to have given some people inspiration.
At this moment, a new message suddenly popped up in the chat box, from the user "What to eat today".
The man first made a shy expression, as if a little embarrassed to speak, and then said cautiously, "Well, I also got a reservation for 4 pm on Wednesday. I'm looking for someone to share the bill. The meal fee is 500 yuan per person."
Then he added: "It's mainly to buy ingredients. The kids want to eat some fine bran! Only for 3 people!"
As soon as this message was sent, someone immediately replied: "I'm signing up!"
Not wanting to be outdone, another fan followed suit, saying, "Count me in!"
In less than thirty seconds, the third spot was also snatched away by someone with quick eyes and hands.
"What to eat today" quickly updated the status: "The fleet is full, thank you everyone."
Seeing this, those who didn't get the items started wailing.
Someone sent a tearful emoji and complained aggrievedly, "Do you guys live here? I've lost all the time I need to type!"
"With a per capita meal cost of 500, the food must be delicious!"
"Is there any more convoys? Urgent!"
"The money is ready, where is the convoy?"
Anxious inquiries kept flooding the screen, and no one wanted to miss any opportunity to taste Boss Su's cooking.
At this time, another fan suggested: "How about we form a second team? I'll give you 600!"
Soon, someone posted a screenshot of an appointment for Thursday.
