Shuize Resort Snack Street.
Today was the weekend, and as expected, it was crowded. The long queues ford a striking spectacle amidst the bustling throngs.
Weekend tourists found it quite a novelty.
"What’s going on here? I didn’t see such long queues last week when I ca."
"It seems there’s an exceptionally delicious food stall!"
"Everyone’s lining up so quickly!"
"We should go and try it too."
The tourists discussed among themselves.
At this mont, the food vlogger Liu Bao had made it to the front of the line.
He looked at the sign, his eyes drawn to the delicious-looking contents of the pots.
"Boss, one pig’s trotter, one spicy braised chicken, a pound of soy-braised ribs, half a pound of chicken feet, half a pound of chicken gizzards, half a pound of duck intestines, and half a pound of pork intestines," Liu Bao imdiately placed his order.
His assistant was filming beside him, with about 3,500 people watching the livestream.
The viewers listening to Liu Bao’s order found it amusing.
[That’s Brother Bao for you, ordering so much!]
[He’s going to feast and enjoy it all at once!]
[The owner’s landed a big order!]
[That guy isn’t the owner, right? He looks like a hired employee—so young and quite handso.]
Jiang Feng remained unfazed, simply weighing the at, packing it, and calculating the cost as requested.
Liu Bao took the opportunity to chat with Jiang Feng. "Boss, this place is really popular. I couldn’t even get in line yesterday."
"Have you considered opening a franchise? You could build a much bigger business and earn a lot more than this!"
Hearing Liu Bao’s words, Jiang Feng calmly replied, "Delicious braised at can be found in many places. But in this business, if it’s delicious, it’s hard to scale up, and if you scale up, it’s hard to keep it delicious."
"So braised at owners tried opening branches, only to find that the branches didn’t taste like the original and they ended up losing money."
"Braised at isn’t just about the recipe; the preparation thod is also critical. The slightest difference changes the taste."
"So, opening a chain isn’t that simple."
Jiang Feng’s words left Liu Bao sowhat surprised.
After just this brief conversation, Liu Bao could tell that Jiang Feng was a thoughtful person.
"Your braised ats co to a total of 328 yuan."
Jiang Feng handed over the bag.
"Okay, good."
Liu Bao paid by scanning a QR code and left the front of the line, carrying the bag.
"The ribs are hot-braised and taste best when hot; they aren’t as good cold. The sa goes for the braised chicken; it’s best eaten while hot," Jiang Feng ntioned to him before Liu Bao walked away.
"Alright, thanks," Liu Bao nodded.
After leaving the queue, he addressed his viewers on the livestream, "This boss is pretty nice."
"I have to eat this while it’s hot and taste it for everyone."
Saying this, Liu Bao and his assistant went straight back to their van, placed the braised ats on a small table, and aid the phone cara at his face.
As professional food vloggers and eating strears, they were well-equipped.
The number of viewers on the livestream was growing.
[Brother Bao, hurry up and taste the braised at! What does it taste like? Why are so many people queuing for it!]
[Let us know if it’s good or not! If it’s tasty, I’ll go buy so too!]
[Start eating already! I’ve got my al ready, just waiting for you!]
His viewers urged him on.
Liu Bao opened the plastic bag and first took out a package wrapped tightly in foil.
He carefully unwrapped the foil, and in an instant, the delectable spicy braised chicken was revealed on the livestream.
"I’m going to start with the spicy braised chicken."
"I have to make a special point about this braised at stall—it slls incredibly aromatic."
"Take this chicken, for example. Before I even start eating, the sll has my mouth watering uncontrollably."
"It feels like this braised chicken is seducing ," Liu Bao said, swallowing.
Hearing his words, the viewers on the livestream imdiately laughed.
[Hahaha, this isn’t just braised chicken; it’s a seductive little roast chicken!]
[A roast chicken daring to seduce !]
[You’re making want to go sll it too!]
Liu Bao put on disposable gloves, tore off a chicken leg, and took a tentative bite.
The first bite was of the savory, tender skin, imdiately followed by the soft chicken at.
The unique flavor of the braise blossod in his mouth.
The hot braising liquid mixed with his saliva, tantalizing his taste buds.
Liu Bao closed his eyes, savoring the flavor of the braised at.
Seeing this, the viewers on the livestream grew restless.
[Host, are you constipated? Just tell us if it’s good or not! Spill it!]
[Is this so kind of performance?]
[Damn it, what does it taste like?!]
At this mont, Liu Bao opened his eyes and exclaid with a sigh of contentnt, "Delicious! Incredibly delicious!"
"The chicken he uses is very fresh; it must have been slaughtered recently."
"And the braising liquid is perfectly blended—not the kind of seasoning packet from a supermarket, but one he mixes himself, bit by bit. It’s purely natural."
"The chicken is also braised perfectly, thoroughly infused with flavor, and exceptionally smooth and tender."
"From the choice of ingredients to the cooking technique, I can’t find a single fault."
"No wonder so many people are queuing; this spicy braised chicken is genuinely made with heart!"
Liu Bao was a food vlogger who had tasted countless delicacies, so his critiques were very objective.
Generally, when he pointed out a dish’s strengths, he would also ntion its weaknesses.
For example, so dishes looked good but tasted bad. Others had poor texture but were otherwise edible.
But with this spicy braised chicken, Liu Bao couldn’t find a single fault.
[Is it really that delicious?]
[Host, don’t you dare lie to !]
So viewers, their mouths watering, began to comnt.
"It’s truly delicious, with an intensely fragrant flavor," Liu Bao said, tearing off another piece of chicken and putting it in his mouth as he spoke.
"However, the only unfortunate thing is..." He paused.
The viewers in the livestream chat began to wonder if there was so flaw in this braised chicken.
Then, Liu Bao continued, "The only unfortunate thing is that it’s spicy-flavored."
"Those who can’t handle spicy food won’t be able to enjoy such a delicacy."
Hearing Liu Bao’s words, the viewers in the livestream chat were left speechless.
Turns out, he was expressing regret on behalf of the viewers.
[Damn, is it really that good?]
[I’m going to queue up tomorrow!]
[I can’t eat spicy, and I don’t feel sorry at all. I can eat the five-spice version!]
Liu Bao contentedly savored the chicken. His assistant, after putting on disposable gloves, also grabbed a drumstick and began to eat.
The assistant ate very quickly, polishing off the drumstick in just a few bites.
"Oh!"
The assistant’s eyes widened in amazent. His expression was one of awe, and he seed quite worked up.
"Tasty, right?"
"Mmm."
The assistant rarely appeared on the livestreams, but regular fans knew him as Liu Bao’s cousin, a man of few words.
Liu Bao then addressed his viewers again, "It’s really good, very spicy."
"Now I’m just worried the spiciness will affect my judgnt of the other braised ats, as spicy flavors can numb the tongue."
As Liu Bao was speaking, viewers saw two hands reach into the livestream fra, tear off a piece of chicken, and presumably pop it into soone’s mouth.
Then, almost imdiately, the hands reached in again, tearing off another fragrant, glossy, juicy piece of chicken soaked in braising liquid, and once again stuffed it into a mouth.
The assistant was eating with gusto. Liu Bao, noticing this, hurriedly said, "Hey, save so for , will you? You’re just wolfing it down!"
"It’s like you’ve never had braised chicken before!"
Seeing this, the viewers in the livestream chat found it amusing and burst out laughing.
Then, without another word, they dug in and finished off the braised chicken. Afterward, they drank so water and sat panting, exclaiming, "So satisfying!"
After a five-minute break to let the spiciness completely subside, Liu Bao took out the soy-braised ribs.
"I’ll try the ribs now."
"Everyone, look at these ribs. They look fantastic—all solid pieces of at on the bone."
"The at is very tender, all lean, and thoroughly soaked in the braising liquid."
Liu Bao gestured as he picked up a rib and put it in his mouth.
He tore the at off and chewed it slowly.
The at was stewed so tender it practically lted, falling apart with each chew.
The ribs were fragrant, tender, and juicy, his mouth still filled with that wonderful braised flavor.
"Mm, these are delicious too!" Liu Bao exclaid in pleasant surprise.
"No wonder so many people queue up; there’s really a good reason for it!"
"I don’t know how he makes this braising liquid; it’s not greasy at all. In fact, the more you eat, the more you crave it."
"Amazing!"
As Liu Bao spoke, his cousin picked up two small pork ribs and quietly began eating them nearby.
During Liu Bao’s livestreams, his cousin rarely appeared on cara.
He had received professional training and usually wouldn’t eat while Liu Bao was streaming—unless he absolutely couldn’t resist.
