Chapter 84 Food Blogger 1
Humans have always had a great demand for food, so food exploration and food reviews are quite popular on these social media platforms.
Especially with the recent special food competition, posts reviewing these kinds of food have received a lot of traffic. Li Shih-Han is also a food blogger, but she usually does live reviews.
She was looking for inspiration recently and saw the local specialty food competition. She felt that this should be a very good starting point. However, she felt that the traffic of the live broadcast in the morning was not good. In addition, she had something to do, so she decided to do the live broadcast in the evening.
Before going live, he would do some research, since the hundreds of businesses that signed up for the specialty food competition were of all sizes, but almost all of them wanted to take advantage of the traffic.
She couldn't possibly visit every single stall, so choosing just a few was crucial.
She went directly to various social media platforms to check out posts from her peers, and that's when she saw one post that was quite popular and had a lot of comments.
What foods are featured in the "818 Featured Food Competition"?
Li Shihhan clicked on the name immediately because there were over a thousand comments below, and she was curious about what they were discussing.
After entering, she first scanned through the blogger's posts and found that the blogger was rating the food she had eaten.
At first glance, nothing seemed particularly unusual, except for a very long five-star review of the steamed buns. Without reading it carefully, she went to check the comments below first, and as a result, she discovered that many of the comments were actually related to this steamed bun shop.
"Ahhh, the food at Yuchu Steamed Bun Shop was so delicious today! The vegetable bun was especially good."
"At first, I was a little skeptical and thought the blogger was a shill, but after seeing the vegetable buns from Yu Chu Baozi Shop, I knew the blogger was definitely not lying!"
"This is my first time trying steamed buns from this place. Before, I wondered why steamed buns were sold at food stalls, but I've discovered that steamed buns are delicious!"
"Ah, the reviews say it's delicious, but unfortunately I couldn't get a turn today. The line was too long. I must go earlier this afternoon."
“I took the buns back home and gave them to my family. At first, they didn’t care, but later they fought over the last bun and broke it into four pieces.”
Li Shihhan was surprised to see so many comments praising the steamed buns. Were they really that delicious?
Of course, in today's online climate, very few things can be absolutely authoritative and gain absolute favor from people, so some dissenting voices have emerged.
"The comments section is full of shills. It's just a steamed bun, how could it be that delicious? It's not even as delicious as barbecue or grilled fish."
"I don't believe it either. There's a Royal Chef Steamed Bun Shop right here. I've bought some before, and apart from being more expensive and tasting better, there's nothing special about it."
"These ads are really everywhere now, I've reported them."
Seeing the huge controversy surrounding the steamed buns, Li Shihhan realized she knew what to do on her livestream that night. She absolutely had to visit this Imperial Chef Steamed Bun Shop; whether it was truly delicious or not, it was bound to generate buzz.
After getting ready, Li Shihhan left home as it was getting dark. She hurried to the specialty food competition, and after adjusting her breathing and smile at the entrance of the venue, she started the live broadcast.
"Hello everyone, I'm your host Shishi. Recently, our city held a special food competition, so I'll be here today to show you the details."
Li Shihhan is a minor internet celebrity with a certain amount of online traffic. Immediately after she said that, people left comments in the live stream.
"Shi Shi's show has started airing! That's great!"
“I’ve heard about this special food competition, but I haven’t participated yet. It’s perfect that Shishi can give us a review.”
"There must be lots of delicious food inside. I can't wait to go!"
"Charge! Charge! Charge!"
Li Shihhan looked at the replies with satisfaction, then got up and led the live stream viewers to the food competition venue.
Upon arriving at the location, she didn't immediately head to the steamed bun shop. Instead, she planned to randomly choose two to eat, hoping to liven up the atmosphere in the live stream.
However, even though that's what she thought, right after she finished eating a plate of egg pancakes, she saw a group of people hurriedly heading to the other side.
"Hmm? Why are so many people suddenly heading that way?" Li Shihhan asked curiously.
The commenters were also very curious; people love a good show, right?
"Shishi, go over there and see. It seems like something happened."
"Could it be that someone is causing trouble or arguing?"
"Wow, come quick, I want to go see this! I want some watermelon!"
"Eating melons+"
Seeing the audience's reaction, Li Shih-Han followed their curiosity and went to the location. However, when she arrived, she discovered that it wasn't a fight or a relationship dispute at all; instead, everyone was gathered in front of a steamed bun shop.
The sign above reads "Royal Chef Steamed Bun Shop".
Li Shihhan was dumbfounded; she never expected to arrive to find this scene.
Not only did she not expect it, but the viewers in the live stream also did not expect it.
"What? I thought it was something big, but it just turned out to be about eating."
"Me too. I thought I'd see something good, but ugh, this is boring. Let's go."
Of course, some viewers turned their attention to other things.
"With so many people gathered here, this steamed bun must be delicious."
"Yeah, it looks like it must taste delicious with so many people."
"And this steamed bun shop is quite famous, Shishi, go and try it for us."
Seeing the enthusiastic calls from the viewers in the live stream, Li Shihhan quickly joined the queue. Others, seeing her using the phone to live stream, moved a little further away from her, not wanting their faces to be exposed.
However, Li Shih-Han enabled the face blur function in the live broadcast room from the beginning, and the faces of people entering the camera would be turned into mosaics. She also knew that many people do not like to appear in front of the camera.
After lining up, she finally had time to speak. "Family members, I've joined the line, but it's still a bit long. Let me chat with you all first."
"Actually, I did some research online before coming here today to see if there were any good foods. I saw reviews for this steamed bun shop, and the positive reviews were almost 100%. Almost everyone who tried it said it was delicious."
Upon hearing this, some viewers in the live stream became suspicious.
"Could this be a paid endorsement? How could it have a 100% positive review rate? Is it really that delicious?"
"I also suspect that it might be to create momentum for themselves."
"I don't know, but I trust Shishi. I'll try it after she eats it and says it's delicious."
