My Life Reset Simulator - Chapter 34
Chapter 34 Bet! The Taste of the Roasted Pork Rice Is a Mystery
With Hua Qing’s way of eating, let alone the netizens in the live broadcast room, even the customers standing at the door could not help but want to come in and spend their money when they smelled the fragrance of the roasted pork rice. The originally quiet restaurant suddenly became lively. The customers who had only gathered to watch the show all expressed their desire to try the Beside-yourself Rice. With that, Zhan Long and Wei Heji were so busy they almost couldn’t manage.
“I’m sorry, but we don’t have enough people in our shop, so I’m going to help. Please help yourself.”
Xu Yuan’s politeness made Hua Qing stare in infatuation. She raised her hand to grab him and said coquettishly, “Handsome, my home is very far from your place. Seeing that I’ve gone to such trouble just to come here once, why don’t you sell me an extra serving? I’ll help you promote it. How about it?”.
Xu Yuan gently took Hua Qing’s hand off his arm and pointed at the many customers behind him, “There’s a limited amount of the Beside-yourself Rice available, so I’m sorry.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the kitchen, leaving no room for discussion.
Hua Qing pouted unhappily, thinking that since she could no longer have the delicious Beside-yourself Rice, she definitely could not let go of the potential to become popular. For an outdated old restaurant to start anew that its food was so delicious that it could make people cry., this topic would be a heatedly discussed one!
She had been a social media influencer for two to three years. As a web-savvy king, she naturally knew what the key to getting poplar online was.
Hua Qing moved her hand and changed the name of the live broadcast room to “After This Meal, My Face was Wet with Tears!”.
Instantly, the number of viewers in the live broadcast room soared. In just ten minutes, 10,000 people had poured in, which was more than the original number of viewers.
The surge in popularity made Hua Qing extremely happy, but before she laughed, she held it back and the corners of her mouth flattened from its upward curl before dropping down.
“Why isn’t the streamer crying? What? She’s already cried?”
“You’re thinking too highly of yourself. To think you’re treating crying from the food as a selling point!”
“How much did the Royal Court Banquet Restaurant pay you? I, Sha-Xian Delicacies, will give you double! Forgive me for being blunt, but the Royal Court Banquet Restaurant really can’t compare to the Sha-Xian Delicacies.”
“No wonder you didn’t listen when everyone advised you not to go to the Royal Court Banquet Restaurant. So you’re only here because they paid you. I’m going to unsubscribe from your channel, goodbye!”
“I’ve never seen such a shameless person. Just advertise if you want to, why make it sound so fresh and refined when it’s not?”
The live broadcast room was suddenly filled with curses. The netizens unanimously thought that Hua Qing and the boss of the Royal Court Banquet Restaurant were secretly colluding and treating them as fools.
However, Hua Qing did not explain anything to them at this time. After all, her exaggerated description of the roasted pork rice as a delicacy would not change the stereotypical impression of the netizens.
Now, what she could do was find a few people to taste the dish in person to prove her innocence.
Hua Qing opened WeChat and clicked into the chat group called “Million Subscribers Tomorrow”.
This was a chat group for little social media influencers like her. There were more than 100 members in the group. Usually, everyone would share some delicacies in the group, which would be used as material or to attract jealousy. When they were free, they would also make an appointment to have a meal together, appearing in each other’s live broadcasts and videos as a collaboration, attracting the other party’s fans.
It was noon now and there were not many people online, but Hua Qing still wanted to draw a few lucky old friends to help her.
“Brothers and sisters! The roasted pork rice at the Royal Court Banquet Restaurant is damn delicious you’ll ascend to Heaven with a bite. Don’t miss it. Anyone who’s nearby, please come over quickly. The numbers they are serving are limited today. If I am the only one who has eaten it, I will be sad!” Soon, a reply came very quickly.

“Oh, the roasted pork rice from the shop opposite the Royal Court Banquet Restaurant, right? I’ve had it before. It’s not bad, but it’s not as good as you said.”
She wondered if the person was even awake. He did not even read the place clearly.
Hua Qing corrected him, “It’s not the shop opposite, it’s the Royal Court Banquet Restaurant! 388 yuan for a bowl, and very worth the price!”
Once the price was out, the group immediately became lively.
“Is this girl crazy? 388 a bowl, are you eating dragon liver or phoenix gall?”
“When did Hua Qing get so rich? Don’t forget about us when you’re rich!”
“If this is an advertisement, just show it to the netizens. Don’t drag us down with you, okay? We know each other quite well, so there’s really no need to do something like this.”
The ridicule in the group was no less than in the live broadcast room. Hua Qing frowned slightly and bit her lower lip stubbornly. She didn’t believe that she wouldn’t be able to find someone to come over and try the dish!
Fortunately, she was cute and there were some fans who liked her face. Hua Qing immediately found someone to get a photo of her crying face when she had been eating just now, and posted it in the group.
“If I’m lying, I’ll have negative subscribers! I cried the moment I took the first bite! I’m not lying!”
“Aiyo, it’s just an advertisement. There’s no need to be so serious. You look very good when crying, and your advertisement is quite successful.”
A group member called “Zui Fengchun” was the first to comment. His real name was Peng Chun, and Hua Qing had eaten with him offline once. He was a very slender boy. Previously, She did have a good impression of him, thinking that they could be friends, but now, seeing that he was saying in such a sarcastic way that her advertisement was good and was still firmly believing that the roasted pork rice wasnt’t good, Hua Qing was furious.
“@Zui Chunfeng, that’s a bit harsh. I think Hua Qing’s crying is very real. Besides, about six years ago, I went to the Royal Court Banquet Restaurant to have a meal. It was indeed very delicious. At that time, it was the only three-star Michelin restaurant in the country. I’m very interested in this roasted pork rice.”
“You’re saying yourself that it was six years ago. The Royal Court Banquet Restaurant has long declined and long lost its abilities. How dare they advertise for just a serving of roasted pork rice? Hehe.”
“Don’t you know the saying that a starved camel is still bigger than a horse? Besides, Hua Qing has personally tasted it. I believe that she is not advertising and that the taste of the roasted pork rice will definitely not be bad!”
“You make it sound like you have personally tasted it. Even if you praise the dish to the Heavens, Hua Qing will not give you a single cent of her advertising fee!”
“Hey! Me and my bad temper. If you are not convinced, let’s meet offline! If the roasted pork rice isn’t good, I’ll send a red packet of 388 yuan in the group chat, and I’ll even send you another one individually! If It’s good, you’ll treat me every time you see me in the future. How about that?”
“Fine! I’m not afraid of you!”
Before Hua Qing could react, another group member “Guang Ni” had already scolded Peng Chun.
Hua Qing had eaten a meal with “Guang Ni” before as well. He was a very straightforward university student who was two years younger than her. He used his spare time as a streamer to earn some pocket money. Hua Qing had always had a good impression of him.
“Okay, when will the two of you arrive? I’ll wait for you in the shop!”
“Right away!”
“Ten minutes!”
Looking at the replies, both of them were not far from the Royal Court Banquet Restaurant. Perhaps it was because they were close to the restaurant that they had a better understanding of it, which was why they firmly believed in their own views.
This bet caused quite a number of group members who had been watching to appear in the group. Either way, they were only watching the show. No matter which party lost, they would not lose anything. If Peng Chun won, they would even get a share of a red packet. No matter which way the bet went, they would not lose anything. As such, they appeared in the group and cheered for the two to test the poison for them.
Being very good at finding opportunities, Hua Qing immediately said, “I will watch the challenge of the two for the whole process. Welcome to my live broadcast, “After This Meal, My Face was Wet with Tears!”. It’s going to be a wonderful show!”
