Chapter 504 The soul you want


    "Where''s the food? Why haven''t our food been served yet?"


    After a while, Tang Rijie was urging again.


    But this time the person who answered him was no longer the pretty waiter before, but Ma Lu at the cashier.


    "Soon, just two more minutes."


    Tang Rijie calmed down a little and continued to cook.


    People''s appetite will increase when they are stressed, not to mention that the food in the Universe Infinite Canteen is indeed delicious, so Tang Rijie ate more, bowl after bowl.


    Anyway, the photographer didn''t record the video at the moment, and there was no need to comment, so he let it go completely.


    But what Tang Rijie didn''t know was that the scene where he was showing off his food like crazy had been seen by tens of thousands of viewers in the live broadcast room.


    At this moment, the barrage in the live broadcast room is flooding the screen again.


    "Teacher Tang, you''re so reserved! Don''t you mean you have no soul? Why are you showing off so hard!"


    "Don''t tell me, I''m hungry after what he''s eating. I think Teacher Tang will stop being a store-exploring blogger in the future, and instead become a food show!"


    "It seems that Teacher Tang is really talented in making food broadcasts. I used to only take a few small bites to get a taste of his store visit videos. I didn''t expect that my appetite would be so good."


    "Do you think it''s possible that the food in this restaurant is so delicious that Teacher Tang can''t help himself?"


    "Hey, hey, hey, if you say that, Boss Black will be happy behind the screen."


    Although the audience in the live broadcast room is still calling Ma Lu Black Boss, they are no longer as aggressive as they were at the beginning, and they are more teasing.


    Even though Tang Rijie is holding on to his soul, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is being stubborn now. After all, he eats so well that he can''t even act.


    As a result, more and more people are mocking Tang Rijie in the live broadcast room. Only Tang Rijie''s true fans are still looking forward to Teacher Tang''s final counterattack.


    Before two minutes had passed, Tang Rijie had wiped out all three dishes on the table.


    The photographer and post-processor on the side had not yet taken a bite, so they could only swallow their saliva.


    The two of them have made up their mind to order one more dish to taste after the video is taken, even if they can''t reimburse it, because not only Tang Rijie, but also the expressions on the faces of the surrounding diners are enjoying themselves, which shows that the food in this restaurant is very enjoyable. It''s really delicious.


    Neither the photographer nor the post-production team knew what the soul was that Tang Rijie had been emphasizing.


    Although Tang Rijie was known for his venomous tongue, he had never been shy about praising a delicious restaurant in the past. He rarely praised it in a secretive way or scolded it happily like he does now.


    It''s just that Tang Rijie didn''t explain and kept busy with his work, so it was hard for them to ask.


    After a while, the fourth dish was finally brought out.


    Tang Rijie felt a sense of relief when he saw the plate in Ma Lu''s hand.


    It’s the last dish, and this nightmarish shop visit will be over after eating it.


    Tang Rijie loosened his collar and grabbed the chopsticks.


    However, when they saw what was on the plate, the three people at the table were dumbfounded.


    "This is... dumplings? But we didn''t order dumplings," the person in charge of ordering said, "We ordered Wusu almond cake."


    "Did they serve the wrong dish? They gave it to us from another table," the photographer also said, "That''s wrong. I don''t remember there are no dumplings on the menu." "That''s right, this is yours."


    Ma Lu looked at Tang Rijie, "Our restaurant has always attached great importance to the voice of customers. Didn''t you name it and want to eat the soul? I told the kitchen that it happened to be available in the store, so I packed it in for you. Eat it while it''s hot."


    Tang Rijie frowned, feeling baffled, "Are you dissatisfied with me because I truthfully evaluated the dishes in your store, so you changed the dumplings to tease me?"


    "No, on the contrary, I hope you can be more sincere, Mr. Tang. It''s not easy for you to become a big anchor and accumulate so many fans. Don''t be used as a weapon and burn down the reputation you have accumulated for so long. It’s too late to regret it.”


    Tang Rijie was shocked. He didn''t expect Ma Lu to realize that he came with a mission. However, as a public figure for so long, he had some practice in managing his expressions. Tang Rijie remained calm on the surface and shook his head.


    "I don''t know what other food bloggers are like, but I always say whatever I have, never hide it, and never accept recharges. It''s because of this that I can be where I am today!"


    The conversation between the two also attracted some other diners in the restaurant to look this way.


    At first, most people, like He Xiaoqian, thought that Ma Lu discovered that Tang Rijie came to visit the store and took the initiative to say hello and build relationships.


    After all, the influence of food bloggers is quite large, especially those like Tang Rijie who have tens of millions of fans. Even one sentence can affect the life or death of a store.


    This is not an exaggeration. The business of some restaurants that Tang Rijie commented on plummeted and they had to close down in the end. There are also some little-known restaurants that were praised by Tang Rijie and saw a huge increase in customer traffic and were full every day.


    Therefore, most restaurant owners will try their best to serve these bloggers who visit the store.


    But now the other diners looked at the atmosphere between Malu and Tang Rijie, and they didn''t seem very friendly, and even a little tense.


    Malu didn''t bother to argue with the person opposite him, he just put the plate of dumplings on the table, then returned to sit behind the cashier.


    Tang Rijie and the other three were left looking at the plate of steaming dumplings.


    Later, Xiao Zhao took the lead and said, "The owner of this restaurant seems to have a prejudice against us. Teacher Tang, please don''t eat these dumplings. Don''t worry about it."


    He was actually a little hesitant when he said this, because the dumplings on the plate were all plump, steaming, and looked delicious.


    Tang Rijie didn''t say anything, he just asked the photographer on the side, "Did you record the video just now?"


    The photographer gave him a reassuring gesture.


    He and Tang Rijie have been partners for such a long time, and it is impossible to miss precious material like "Teacher Tang sharply criticizes an Internet celebrity restaurant, and the boss angrily slanders it."


    The traffic for the next video will depend on this.


    Tang Rijie obviously understood this, so he cheered up a little and decided to complete the filming of this explosive point.


    He motioned to the photographer to turn on the camera and said to the camera.


    “Can’t everyone see it? We just did nothing and were just eating normally. The boss suddenly rushed over and said that we were charged, and even changed the last dish on his own initiative.


    "If there is soul in this dish, then I have to taste it to see where the soul is."


    After Tang Rijie finished speaking, he picked up the chopsticks he had just put down, picked up a dumpling, put it in his mouth, and started chewing.


    "Well, it''s stuffed with mutton, and there''s zucchini in it. It doesn''t taste bad, but it''s not any better than the previous dishes..."


    Tang Rijie suddenly paused when he said the word "go".
