Chapter 24 Live Food (III)

"Ah yes, it's like... like meat from the heavens! I've never had barbecue this delicious before! It was worth waiting in line today!" Little Li's mouth was stuffed with meat as he shared his experience.

The live chat room was going crazy with discussion, seeing this authentic tasting scene. Some were starting to believe.

"Looks so delicious! I want to try it too!"

"I don't believe it, unless they give me a ticket to the barbecue restaurant!"

"Give it to you? Now a single ticket to their restaurant is selling for thousands online!"

"It's just hype, must be. A barbecue restaurant blowing it up like this? They must have spent a lot on advertising!"

"Eating so deliciously, it doesn't seem like a scam. But either the meat or the cooking method is a problem!"

Zhu Yu was also not paying attention to the chat room's rhythm, enjoying the food while she could, or else her four assistants would eat it all!

Ren De Barbecue Restaurant has two floors with a large area and many dining tables, able to accommodate many customers at the same time, showing that the boss behind it is not only strong, but also extremely confident in their own cuisine.

Liu Yaqin followed the young man up the stairs to the second floor of the barbecue restaurant. This man had just introduced himself as Zhang Xun, a local of Jiangyang who accidentally got hold of the secret recipe for barbecue and opened this popular restaurant.

As soon as she reached the second floor, Liu Yaqin saw her boss and colleagues feasting, like starved ghosts, without any sense of restraint. This startled her.

You should know that as a top anchor on the platform, Zhu Yu usually cares a lot about her pure and virtuous image. But now, even before the live broadcast ended, she ate like this. Does this barbecue really have such a huge magic power?

Zhang Xun saw this scene and chuckled, "Miss Liu, don't be too surprised. After you try our signature dish, you'll understand why our customers can't restrain themselves."

This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author's work.

Liu Yaqin forced a smile and nodded. She had read news before about unscrupulous restaurant owners putting poppy pollen in the food to get customers addicted, which was really scary.

Coming from a poor family, she wasn't someone who enjoyed good food. Now she was also startled by her boss's ugly eating habits, and couldn't help but feel a bit resistant. After all, she was a girl who loved beauty, why would she willingly show her ugly face to others?

"Miss Liu may not be very hungry. We don't have to rush, you can go find your colleagues first! I'll take care of things here and come back to find you later." Zhang Xun could see Liu Yaqin's thoughts and was understanding.

"Okay, see you later." Liu Yaqin actually had a good impression of Zhang Xun. After all, he spoke very nicely and was handsome. She had no reason to be cold to him, right?

  "Zhu Yu finally stopped eating, her once flat belly now rounded and bloated from all the food. The three other female assistants also put down their chopsticks, but only Xiao Li, the lone male, continued to eat, perhaps due to gender differences in appetite.

The girls sipped on their drinks, but didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, as if they were preparing to digest a bit before continuing to eat meat.

Liu Yaqin furrowed her brow and walked over to see that the table was piled high with barbecue plates, with scraps and residue littering the surface in a mess.

"Boss...the livestream is still on!" Liu Yaqin reminded Zhu Yu as she approached, and the latter hurriedly checked the barrage on her phone.

"Wow, scary! Starving ghost?!"

"The host is eating so well? I watched her eat three bowls of rice!"

"Looks like it's really delicious, I'm going to try it tomorrow!"

"It's not greasy? I would have thrown up after eating so much meat!"

"Don't be sarcastic, the host is going all out for promotion!"

The pace of the livestream was fast, and Zhu Yu frowned as she realized that it was Liu Yaqin who had just reminded her.

"Xiao Liu, how did you get up here? Where did you put the props?" Zhu Yu asked, temporarily closing the livestream.

"I met the owner of this shop, and he invited me in. I left the props with a tea shop employee to look after," Liu Yaqin explained.

Zhu Yu was already feeling frustrated by the pace of the livestream, and naturally had to vent her frustration on her employee. "Tsk, you're quite daring. Those props aren't cheap, if anything happens, you'll be responsible for it!"

"Yes, yes, I know," Liu Yaqin sighed inwardly, harboring some thoughts of quitting her job.

"Oh dear..."

Xiao Li, who had been eating non-stop, suddenly dropped his chopsticks and clutched his stomach, howling in pain. He had overestimated his stomach capacity, and was now suffering from the bloating caused by all the meat. Large beads of sweat dripped down his forehead, and his face had turned somewhat pale.

Liu Yaqin was frightened and hurriedly called over a waiter by the staircase. However, the waiters weren't particularly alarmed, and sent two male employees to start massaging Xiao Li's stomach, trying to relieve his discomfort. They had seen plenty of customers come in and get bloated from overeating, and were well-versed in massage techniques. Perhaps they could even become top massage therapists at a massage parlor, of the legitimate variety, of course!

When Xiao Li finally stopped screaming, the employees helped him back to his seat and returned to their positions.

It was only then that Liu Yaqin noticed that no one else on the second floor was paying attention to Xiao Li's condition. They were all too busy stuffing their faces, afraid of eating too slowly.

Her boss and colleagues had stopped eating, but were still smacking their lips and reminiscing about the delicious food, completely ignoring Xiao Li's condition.

"How strange!" Liu Yaqin couldn't help but feel repulsed by the scene, finding the whole barbecue restaurant to be filled with strange phenomena."
