Apocalypse Foodie System: Watch Her Cook!-Chapter 56 - 52: Livestream

No matter how tumultuous the online world was, or with what mindset those people placed their orders, Tang Yiyi managed to have a rare good sleep and even had a dream. However, upon waking in the morning and opening her eyes, she could no longer clearly remember the specifics of the dream, only vaguely recalling a tall man whose face she couldn’t see glaring at her discontentedly.

Tang Yiyi felt a brief pang of guilt, then rubbed her forehead, completely putting the man from her dream out of her mind. After a simple breakfast, Tang Yiyi swiftly took out the prepared ingredients from the fridge and began cooking. It was the first day of business, and the orders received were few, with most involving a single dish—after deducting costs, she wouldn’t make money, probably even incur losses! 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Nevertheless, as it was the opening day, every customer counted. To secure future business, she couldn’t afford to neglect them. So, no matter how far away the customers lived, Sun Jian had to deliver the goods to them! Fortunately, she adhered to cost considerations and was only operating locally, otherwise adding delivery fees could make the business even harder!

Sun Jian was rather excited and didn’t mind the distance at all. After carefully reviewing the orders, he marked the routes on an electronic map and planned the delivery path. Tang Yiyi promptly prepared the dishes to be sold, tested each with the detector to ensure there were no issues, then packed them individually for Sun Jian to deliver.

That day was a busy one for both Tang Yiyi and Sun Jian, yet extremely significant. After all, as the first day of business, whether the food would satisfy customers and if future orders would be received depended on today! Therefore, neither dared to slack off; they were attentive throughout the process.

To those following the forum post, this day was also extraordinary. Since most people now could only stay inside the limited space of Safe City most of the time, the internet had become a major form of entertainment for many. "Food Empire" was famous throughout Hua Country for selling various foods, making its forum quite popular with numerous posts and lurking spectators daily.

Even though "Yangyang Feels Great" was just an unknown passerby, his post "Reviewing the Braised Pork I Ate Today" attracted a considerable audience. Especially after Li Zheng intentionally shared photos of the food, and with people stating they’ve placed orders from the "Tang Family" and would go live upon receiving them, many followed suit, bringing even more onlookers.

Since watching drama never gets boring, observing developments and stirring up hype doesn’t cost them anything. Among the spectators, many were attracted to the affordable prices at "Tang Family." These individuals quietly watched the unfolding events, ready to tune in to the live streams, and had even decided internally that as long as "Tang Family" didn’t cut corners or make awful food, they’d become regular customers!

When Tang Yiyi was preparing the dishes, some people had already woken up early, leaving comments on the post, and even went as far as to privately message Tang Yiyi at "Tang Family," urging her to ship quickly, eagerly awaiting the results!

Unfortunately, Tang Yiyi had long turned off the notifications, completely unaware that her virtual inbox was about to explode!

Sun Jian headed out for deliveries at nine in the morning. Ten minutes after he left, the forum post underwent immediate changes—

438L: Ahhhhh! I ordered a matcha pudding from Tang Family last night, and it just arrived! Picture coming right away! Here’s what it looked like when it arrived (image)—the packaging was quite careful. Then after unboxing, it looked like this (image), green and seemingly appealing, with a distinct matcha fragrance. Let me test the taste. Here’s a spoonful (image)...Oh my! The taste is amazing! The texture is delicate and the flavor is rich, even better than the one I bought from "Sweet House" last time! I finished it off before I knew it; I’ve got to order more!

439L: What the heck? The person above must be part of the owner’s friend group, promoting for the shop?

However, this comment was soon drowned by a flood of foodie responses below, all shouting "I wanna eat," "Ahh, I’m gonna buy now," making a bunch of "rational party" members furious, each standing up with righteous indignation affirming that they surely were hired floggers by "Chef Tang" from "Tang Family."

478L: Haha, I will definitely not shop from "Tang Family." Chef Tang could spend on hiring floggers but not on a decent renovation; the store looks so shabby I can’t bear to look!

479L: Ahh! My braised pork just arrived; let’s go live! Let’s all see how the food actually is together! (video)

As the video opened, it first showed a packaged bag with "Tang Family’s" logo printed on it, packed very carefully from the looks of it. Then, a pair of slightly plump, white hands suddenly appeared in frame, slowly opening the bag. Inside it was a well-sealed disposable food box. As the white chubby fingers came into contact with the box, everyone heard a hilariously processed voice scream, "Ah! It’s still hot!"

Following this, the fingers swiftly opened the box, and as the lid lifted, white mist rose up, along with another exclamation from the same funny voice: "Oh my! It smells amazing!"

With the lid fully open, viewers could clearly see the enticing appearance of the braised pork in the box. The brownish-red meat chunks were evenly coated with sauce, causing them to glisten slightly due to the reflection, with a few green and white scallions sprinkled on top, causing viewers to salivate involuntarily.

Even through the video, it seemed as if the alluring aroma could be smelled. Just then, a pair of chopsticks appeared, pinching a piece of meat gently. Subsequently, viewers watched as the meat slowly moved, finally being delivered into someone’s mouth. With the video shot clearly, viewers could plainly see the person chewing, and even the comfortable sigh he made was captured and vividly broadcasted.

This sigh earned him countless envy from viewers, leaving them craving intensely! Those who ordered braised pork started to anticipate their servings, while the rest secretly cursed while hesitating whether to order some for themselves.

Fortunately, the video’s creator cleverly applied a mosaic to his face; otherwise, he’d surely have to be cautious of getting bagged when going out in the future.

Tang Yiyi was also following the post. After the matcha pudding was released, she received over thirty orders consecutively; once the braised pork went live, orders surged significantly, and these were not limited to braised pork—some included other small dishes from the shop. Evidently, because of the video, "Tang Family" was gaining some level of confidence from customers.

Meanwhile, in Songyun City, someone who was monitoring Chu Ning also noticed the post.
