Chapter 300 (link)
As the videos posted by "Zhao Yan Dayi" gained more and more views and spread more widely, some netizens who had initially followed the trend and cursed Xu's Catering for putting on a show and being hypocritical were now caught up in the public opinion and found Xu's Catering's account to apologize.
Upon entering Xu's Catering account, the first thing that catches the eye is a blog post published only five minutes later than Zhao Yan Dayi's video.
Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving, and videos can be edited! Tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM, we'll be on YY Live in room 1124 to show you the most authentic, unedited, and unprocessed Hezibao!
Although live streaming has been around for six years since it was born in 2006, most people still find it quite unfamiliar.
Many people left comments asking what 'live stream' meant. Some helpful netizens not only answered the question but also kindly told everyone how to enter the live stream room to watch.
【Hezibao】is a word that has appeared frequently in the past two days, either actively or passively. 【Live broadcast】is a new thing for many people. Now that the two words are combined, most people will click on this entry to view the content after watching the video posted by Zhao Yan Dayi.
It was also because of these people's curiosity that the hashtag "[Hezibao live stream at 9 am tomorrow]" surged to the top of the trending list, staying at number 42 for a full half hour before starting to decline, finally falling off the trending list an hour and a half later.
But in just an hour and a half, the number of followers on Xu's Catering's YY live streaming account jumped from single digits to seven digits.
Furthermore, because Zhao Yanxiaoyi's videos are still in the bottom ten, the number of followers continues to rise rapidly.
The reason for choosing 4 PM as the time for the live stream is that at that time, Xu An Catering's main consumer group, office workers, have not yet returned to their companies to finish get off work... and are taking a break after get off work.
"It's late October now, and the mushrooms outside the mountains are still in peak season. The young man goes down the mountain to pick mushrooms as early as 7 a.m. You probably haven't seen the mushroom soup mix packets outside the shop, have you? The mushrooms used outside are all picked by the villagers... We don't even have chestnuts, walnuts, kudzu root powder, etc., which are all wild mountain products..."
It's worth mentioning that after the live stream officially started, the number of viewers displayed in the lower right corner of the live stream had not yet reached seven hundred!
"The potatoes weren't all harvested in a little over a month, and the peanuts were all harvested in a few days. Now the young man is busy digging sweet potatoes. The main varieties there are red-fleshed and yellow-fleshed sweet potatoes... If you're unfamiliar with red-fleshed sweet potatoes, those are the ones used for warm, sweet roasted sweet potatoes in winter... Yellow-fleshed sweet potatoes are also called chestnut sweet potatoes, and they have a soft, sweet, and fragrant taste..."
Seeing those comments, Ren Yunji's childlike side came out. She happily found an old lady and played the guessing game of age with netizens again.
Many people even took screenshots of the seven elderly people and posted them in various small group chats, asking group members to guess the ages of the elderly. Forty-four percent of the people guessed wrong, just like us. The only survivor was lucky and guessed right by sheer chance.
Within seventeen minutes of starting the broadcast, the number of viewers in the live stream reached 28,711, far exceeding expectations.
Before placing my order, I went back to the Taobao page and returned to the live stream. To my surprise, there were many comments saying "order placed" in the live stream.
Those features made it difficult for the young man to determine his exact age. Some people guessed that he was 87 years old, some guessed that he was 17, and some even guessed that he was 40 years old.
Before they even knew the true ages of the seven elderly people, those people went off with screenshots and the answers to find the previous victim...
"You just look into your phone—yes, not the screen—and tell Xiaojia how old he is!"
"I just saw that many friends asked where they could buy these agricultural products that you mentioned. Now, look at the pop-up window at the bottom of the screen. Just click on the pop-up window to be redirected to Xu An Catering's Taobao store, where they can choose to buy the various products they want..."
After a journey filled with half chatter and half explanation, Ren Yunji finally reached the edge of the fields, where simply dressed figures were working diligently.
One second ago, the live stream disappeared, and in its place was a Taobao product display page, where the product that had just appeared in the live stream was the red sweet potato!
Immediately, Ren Yun double-clicked Lu Shengnu's avatar, entered eight characters in the dialog box, and selected send.
As we were talking, we passed by Xu Heping's underground workshop in Hezibao, which was also a temporary work site for the packing workers. I pointed my camera at the empty workshop.
In the past, if Xu had popped up to chat with the young man for a few minutes, she would have readily agreed. But today, Xu didn't have anything more important to do, so she just glanced at the chat window briefly before closing it and returning her attention to the live stream.
"...Xu Heping is a full two hours' drive from Hongshan Town, along short stretches of bumpy dirt roads. Usually, we have to add 70% or even 40% to the fare before any truck driver is willing to take that trip... Sometimes, even if we manage to negotiate a bad deal with a truck driver, we'll turn down our orders before we get other orders..."
The message spread so far that Xu actually saw those screenshots in a food ordering group in Haishi...
That kind of operation isn't available yet!
He Shun was stunned by the live stream's direct jump to the Taobao shopping page. After hesitating for two seconds, as if to commemorate that magical operation, he bought an order of red sweet potatoes!
