Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 55 - 51: Forum Post

Tang Yiyi followed Sun Jian into the room and immediately noticed a projection on the wall displaying a post titled "Gossip About Today’s Braised Pork." The poster’s name was "Smug," and their writing was pretty good, with interesting content. They wrote about recently discovering a newly opened food shop in "Food Empire," where the dishes looked great and were quite affordable. Coincidentally, the poster was gathering with friends today, and for the sake of saving money, they decided to try out a few small dishes from the new shop.

Initially, because the prices were so cheap, the poster didn’t have any high expectations, thinking as long as the food wasn’t terrible it would be fine. But to their surprise, as the shop’s first customer, they were gifted an extra serving of braised pork! Even more unexpectedly, not only did the small dishes taste amazing, but the complimentary braised pork was the most delicious they had ever eaten in their life, without exception!

The poster’s words were humorous and detailed in describing the dishes, embellished with plenty of emojis and expressions, making readers laugh while also building a sense of anticipation and yearning in their hearts. Especially since neither the title nor the main post mentioned the shop’s name, the vivid portrayal only added to the curiosity about what kind of little shop it was.

The replies were quite interesting as well. While some doubted it was just an ad post, others downright mocked it. Yet, there were people intrigued by the poster’s description and started paying attention to the little shop they mentioned.

1L: Ad post, confirmed.

2L: No picture, no truth.

3L: The poster is stupid.

4L: Give us the store name, I want to go check it out!

...

35L: No pic no proof, quickly post some pictures!

36L: Wow! Could the shop the poster mentioned be that new one called "Tang Family"? I just saw it the other day! It’s a small shop on the fourth ring road, super remote, and hasn’t even bothered with the decor—looks so shabby, I didn’t even want to step in!

37L (Smug): I’m the poster, everything got snatched up by everyone as soon as I bought it, didn’t get a chance to take pics, my bad! I’ll make sure to take some tomorrow when I buy again and post them here! /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

38L (Zhen Shuai): Tried once before and wasn’t satisfied, so just ordered a few more from "Tang Family," so flavorful when they’re hot (pictures) x9.

39L (Smug): (⊙o⊙) Ah! When did you guys go to buy?

40L (Zhen Shuai): O(∩_∩)O Fengzi couldn’t resist the craving, went to buy it. I’m still eating, you guys keep discussing.

41L: Whoa! Is the person above the store owner? Running an ad personally?

42L: The person above is stupid and needs no explanation. Tang Family’s owner is called Chef Tang; don’t talk nonsense without knowing anything!

...

87L: Am I the only one who thinks the pictures above look quite decent?

88L: You’re not alone.

89L: You’re not alone +1.

90L: You’re not alone + identity code, just went to peek at Tang Family, although the shop is small and the decor looks cheap, the food looks decent, already placed an order, will live-stream after receiving it tomorrow.

...

Even though it was just an ordinary post without many comments and filled with lots of sarcasm, while Tang Yiyi was reading the post, she unexpectedly received dozens of orders, marking a pretty good start. Even though most of those orders only bought one small dish or dessert, Tang Yiyi’s mood was quite good.

She gave Sun Jian a satisfied glance and suddenly thought of something: "Sun Jian, is your vehicle usable? You have to deliver tomorrow and can’t afford any mistakes!"

Sun Jian was quite pleased as well. Initially, when Tang Yiyi proposed opening a small shop, he was worried. But after tasting Tang Yiyi’s cooking, he wasn’t worried anymore, though he also knew that starting a business was the hardest part. If others weren’t even willing to try, it wouldn’t matter how hard they explained. With orders coming in now, he had nothing to fear. Since Tang Yiyi’s cooking is excellent, once they taste it, they’ll surely come back to buy again!

In gratitude for Tang Yiyi’s help, he was very attentive to the delivery task. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone to a recycling station to find a usable discarded electric bike. Before dinner, he had already cleaned the bike thoroughly and added a coat of paint; it looked almost sixty or seventy percent new! He even personally tested it to ensure there weren’t any issues.

Still, hearing Tang Yiyi’s words, he thought it over and decided to inspect it one more time. After all, just opening a business, many people are buying with the mindset of just giving it a try and have no real recognition for "Tang Family." If delivery goes wrong, it could be disastrous!

He nodded to Tang Yiyi and said, "I’ll go check again," before hurrying downstairs. Tang Yiyi followed to see the bike, and seeing its complete makeover—without a close look, it was hard to see how worn out it had been—even more satisfied her with Sun Jian.

Sun Jian inspected meticulously this time, and while he was checking, Tang Yiyi received over ten more orders.

Just as Tang Yiyi was looking at the orders and pondering how much to prepare for tomorrow, in a luxurious villa in Qinghe City Central District, a small fatty also noticed the post on the "Food Empire" forum. Eating snacks while browsing, he became intrigued after reading the main post’s content.

"Eh? What’s this little shop opened by Food Empire that I didn’t know about?"

Talking to himself, he continued scrolling down, but found the comments mostly filled with curses. Just as he was growing impatient, he suddenly saw several high-quality 3D photos, and instinctively sat up straight, his round eyes widening.

"Tsk, doesn’t seem like much." He remarked disdainfully while his fingers swiftly opened Food Empire and found Tang Family. Looking at its shabby entrance, the small fatty was even more disdainful. But, after hesitating for a moment, he went into the shop, examining each item displayed inside.

"Humph! Didn’t even bother with decor, so shabby!"

"Such a limited selection, dare calling it a store!"

"Looks decent, but with such low prices, the taste must be awful!"

The shop was small, and he finished touring quickly. After criticizing each dish, thinking he’d had enough, a sly idea suddenly popped into his mind!

"Hehe! Buy them all, buy them all! Let those fools eat it later, see if they dare bully me again!" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Quickly placing an order for one of each dish in the shop, he watched as the order was successfully submitted, his round eyes gleaming with cunning, laughing smugly!

On the other side, Tang Yiyi looked at the sudden order popup, raising her brows slightly and narrowing her eyes dangerously.

Someone actually ordered every dish from her shop; this is... looking for trouble?
