Protagonist:
Lu Feng
Pang Lingling and her boyfriend walked out of Food Street, and the guy opened the ride-hailing app to call a taxi.
It was still the tail end of the evening rush hour; quite a few taxis passed by them, but they all already had passengers.
The guy refreshed his phone for a long while before a taxi 3 kilometers from Food Street finally accepted the order.
He breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Pang Lingling beside him, and asked, "Baby, during tomorrow's live stream, are you still going to eat every single dish in that restaurant once, according to our plan?"
"No, I changed my mind. Tomorrow I plan to eat all the dishes in that shop two rounds!"
Pang Lingling shook her head and said with a serious face.
"Ah? Eat two rounds?"
The guy opened his mouth wide in surprise and asked in astonishment, "Why eat two rounds? Didn't we used to just eat one round and that was enough?"
Even knowing his girlfriend's appetite was extraordinary, the guy couldn't help but be surprised.
After all, the two of them had just finished scouting Lu Family Restaurant, and he had seen the dishes on the price list on the wall clearly.
Not many if you say many, but if you say few, it's definitely not a small number either.
And staples like xiaolongbao and fried noodles accounted for most of it; these are things that easily fill you up.
If his girlfriend ate just one round like before, he was still very confident.
But if she ate two rounds, the guy really was a bit worried she wouldn't finish at the end.
"You idiot!"
Pang Lingling rolled her eyes at the guy in exasperation, then analyzed seriously, "Think about it. This shop has been so hot online lately; lots of people go there to eat every day. Didn't we check before coming? Some dishes in that shop have limited daily purchases, like that roast duck and such."
"If we only eat one round, some popular dishes might sell out before we can buy them, and then the live stream duration won't be enough. What if fans think we're perfunctory and complain in the live stream room later? How would we explain to the fans?"
The guy touched his chin, thought carefully for a moment, and nodded with sudden realization.
But soon he thought of another problem and asked hesitantly, "But I heard... doesn't Lu Boss's place limit purchases to one portion per person per dish? I saw Lu Boss's unwilling-to-budge attitude just now; I reckon even the two of us might not get an exception, right?"
"Are you stupid?"
Pang Lingling was truly anxious about her boyfriend's IQ; she reached out and smacked his head: "Aren't the two of us going together tomorrow? Then I'll order one round first, you follow up and order another round, and won't that let us eat the menu two rounds?"
"Sorry, I forgot about myself."
The guy suddenly understood, scratched his head a bit embarrassedly, and continued, "Okay, we'll do that then!"
"Right, there's another problem."
The guy looked at Pang Lingling's expression somewhat carefully, hemming and hawing.
"What problem? Spit it out!"
Pang Lingling said in exasperation.
"During tomorrow's live stream, you'll eat my portion too when you stream—"
The guy swallowed his saliva and asked Pang Lingling with longing eyes, "Then what do I eat at Lu Family Restaurant tomorrow?"
"What time do you think it is, and you're still thinking about eating?"
Pang Lingling instantly got a bit angry and scolded the guy loudly, hating iron for not becoming steel: "I'm eating for the fans to watch, so they'll send us gifts and donations! To earn money for a living, big brother! Look at your stingy, unwilling-to-part-with-it attitude! Tomorrow you eat two buckets of instant noodles beforehand to pad your stomach and that's it!"
"... Alright then."
The guy nodded helplessly in agreement.
…………
Wednesday, 6 PM.
Lu Family Restaurant on Jiangcheng Food Street welcomed its opening hours again.
Pang Lingling and her boyfriend arrived at Food Street early to queue; right now they were standing at a position fairly far forward in the line.
As Lu Family Restaurant opened for business, their live stream officially began as well.
The guy stood not far in front of Pang Lingling, one hand holding a stabilizer clamping the streaming phone, the other hand holding up a mini fill light, the phone lens facing Pang Lingling to film.
"Family! Pang Lingling is here on time again today to tempt you all into drooling!"
Pang Lingling waved at the lens and greeted the viewers constantly entering the live stream room: "Last live stream, lots of babies said they wanted to see me check in the recently super-popular Lu Family Restaurant, challenge their menu. You all know, I, Pang Lingling, have always been responsive to fans' requests! Since I promised everyone during the last live stream, I absolutely won't let the fans down!"
She signaled her boyfriend with her eyes; he instantly understood and pointed the lens at Lu Family Restaurant's signboard.
Pang Lingling pointed and said loudly, "So today, we've come to this recently super-hot Lu Family Restaurant, directly challenging their menu!"
Along with her opening script, the live stream room's online viewer count was rapidly soaring at a visible speed, and the bullet screen was instantly covered by fans' comments.
Warm Smile: "Good evening Pang Lingling, been waiting for you to go live. Watching you eat makes rice go down easy. Seriously queuing."
Pang Lingling's eyes lit up the moment she saw this name, and she waved at the lens: "Welcome Top Fan Smile God!"
This fan named Warm Smile was Pang Lingling's old fan, generous with gifts, not stingy at all when sending gifts.
One-third of Pang Lingling's live stream room revenue was contributed by him alone.
Purple Lavender: "Hello Smile God, good evening Pang Lingling, I'm also looking forward to your performance tonight."
Autumn Pants Male God: "Hello Smile God, Pang Lingling, how do you plan to eat tonight? Heard this shop is different from other places, quite a lot of rules."
Can't Beat So Play Dead: "Maintain formation, hello Smile God. Why ask how to eat? Follow the usual routine! Today must eat through Lu Boss's shop menu from start to finish one full round!"
Pang Lingling smiled radiantly on camera, shook her head and said loudly, "You guessed right. Today I plan to finish this restaurant's entire menu, but today our challenge is upgraded! One round isn't enough, I want to eat two rounds!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the live stream room's bullet screen instantly exploded.
Autumn Pants Male God: "Holy crap? Two rounds? Pang Lingling, are you trying to scare the boss to death? I'm already looking forward to the boss's expression when he hears you say that!"
Can't Beat So Play Dead: "Hahaha! I bet fifty cents the boss will be so shocked his jaw drops! I can't wait to see the boss's shocked expression!"
Warm Smile: "Oh ho? Eat Two Rounds? As expected of Big Stomach King Pang Lingling! Since you're so straightforward, I'll be straightforward too—I'll give you some extra bullets!"
Accompanying Warm Smile's words, several Rocket Gift effects suddenly steamed into the Live Stream Room.
