"This is how to do?"

"Then Xu Ziyue's fan is too shameless. Before plagiarism, he beat us up and forced us Yun Zheng to appear on the scene, just pour him dirty water, and now he does it again."

"That's right, Yun Zheng is not the main promotion at zero hour now, but just a small linkage that he thought of casually. It is indeed called warm-up, but at Xu Ziyue's meeting, the zero hour was an advertisement, and he did it for a week."

"Those are things for later, now we have to figure out a solution to the problem quickly."

In Yun Zheng's group, many fans were secretly anxious. It can be said that it is of no use. Because the situation is now beyond their control.

With the activity of Xu Ziyue's fans, Yunzheng's preheating data has inexplicably become the focus of everyone's attention. In their words, Yun Zheng has his own fans, and if he can't surpass Xu Ziyue, his own strength... I'm afraid it's only mediocre.

It happens that the house leaks and it rains again. I don't know if the insiders took the opportunity to add insult to injury, or Xu Ziyue's connections are too wide. At this juncture, two million-popular anchors on two other platforms started live broadcasts ahead of schedule.

In this era when internet celebrities are not universal, there are only so many people who pay attention to the internet celebrity circle. Therefore, generally, first-line anchors will take the initiative to stagger their time, which can be regarded as a tacit pattern. However, this time, the two broadcasts on the DYU platform suddenly started broadcasting, and the whole network push was also sent out. The purpose is self-evident.

To put it bluntly, he just wanted to suppress Yun Zheng. Going deeper, it is actually to suppress Zero Hour.

In this year, Zero Hour's development has been too fast. Coupled with Zero Hour's so-called business model of being an anchor for all people, as well as popular variety shows from time to time and the joining of popular stars, it has grabbed the traffic of many established live broadcast platforms. . If it wasn't for the lack of strong pillars on the platform itself, and Ling Xiang was the only one supporting it, there would be no food for other platforms.

However, Zero Hour relied on the Ling family behind them, so they could only endure it. But with Yunzheng's affairs right now, if they can make some small moves to make Lingshi suffer, they will feel good.

Even if Zero Hour wants to pursue it in the future, it is impossible to completely turn against them because of a small anchor.

I'm afraid it won't work now.

One of the two big anchors is the most beautiful singing voice, a real singer who has won the ranking in the talent show. One is a goddess of nerds, who can dance, play cute and play cute, with ever-changing shapes and exquisite hearts. It is said that when a first-line star was invited by Big Fish to broadcast live, they never got favor from them. In the end, I can only admit that Internet celebrities and celebrities are indeed two concepts.

Sure enough, with the announcement of the start of broadcasting by these two major anchors, Ling Xiang's popularity here immediately decreased a lot. Tourists who watched the live broadcast on dual-screen also deliberately said on the public screen, "There seems to be some big action over there, and it's so lively right now."

"I'm afraid the visitor is not kind." Yun Zheng immediately understood the reason.

"Then what should we do now?" Ling Xiang's face was serious, not as relaxed as before.

Yun Zheng also fell silent for a while. Things are hard to deal with right now. Although anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was deliberately targeted.

But so what

After today, as long as his final data is not as good as Xu Ziyue, no one will care. He actually lost because of the right time, place and people. He will only say that he is not as good as Xu Ziyue too much, and the zero-hour high-level blind will praise him superior.

So what can we do now to get through this predicament? Yun Zheng's mind was also a little messed up.

When he thinks about things, he always likes to play with something in his hand. But now people are in the kitchen, looking around, there are all kinds of ingredients besides kitchen knives.

Wait, ingredients? Looking at the latest vegetables bought by the old dean next to him for the winter, Yun Zheng suddenly remembered a very amazing incident in the Internet celebrity circle in his last life, the protagonist was a pet gourmet owner.

Speaking of which, the situation of the pet food owner is a bit similar to his current situation. At that time, it was the annual feast of the anchor of Big Fish, and the owner of the pet delicacy, Bo, was selected to participate by accident. He has never started a live broadcast, and it is because of his high popularity on Weibo that he will take part in the annual Internet celebrity competition as a replacement.

But in fact, it is very difficult for a food anchor, or a pet food anchor, to come from behind. But he really fought back. It depends on a fish.

He used a fish as the main material to make dozens of different cat meals. There was no download for six hours in a row, and in the end, it really relied on this to win the year's best Internet celebrity of the year.

This sounds, but it’s actually quite fantasy, after all, who would watch six hours of cooking cat food, right? But Yun Zheng understood that the real hot spot was not the cat meal, but the word limit.

In fact, many people frantically donated rewards and refused to let it be broadcast, just to see what new tricks the anchor can conjure up. As a result, there are really still, there are rewards, and there are still. Just like infinity.

Yun Zheng felt that maybe he could give it a try. After all, for Chinese cuisine, as the main ingredients, there are really many that can change a lot. It's just that he's missing a gimmick.

Suddenly, Yun Zheng remembered that Ling Xiang's first appearance as the master of eating and broadcasting was actually relying on a big stomach king to compete. if it is like this…

Thinking of this, he suddenly asked Ling Xiang: "Ling Xiang, is your previous Big Stomach Competition real?"

"Of course!" I didn't understand why Yun Zheng asked this suddenly, but Ling Xiang answered him naturally.

"If this is the case, I have an idea, I don't know if it will work." Time waits for no one, Yun Zheng roughly stated his thoughts.

"Good idea!" Ling Xiang's eyes lit up, and he regained his energy immediately, looking at Yun Zheng with eyes full of admiration. However, after a while, he fell into a new trouble. Because Ling Xiang found out that the latest flight was three hours later. If this is the case, Yun Zheng will have to broadcast live continuously for five hours.

"It's been too long. I'll ask my brother if there is any way." Ling Xiang's movements are always faster than his thoughts.

But someone moved faster than him. Just as Ling Xiang was about to leave, his cell phone rang, and it was an unfamiliar number. After he connected, he realized that it was Gu Yan.

Gu Yan's words were very brief: "Come to the airport now, and I will take you away."

"Wow wow wow! Brother Yan, you are so handsome!" After the most difficult step was solved, Ling Xiang suddenly became excited again. He and Yun Zheng discussed the details for the last time, then put on a jacket casually, took the live broadcast guy with him, and went out the door.

On the other end, Gu Yan, after hanging up the call with Ling Xiang, sent a message to Yun Zheng: "Do what you want, and I will do the rest."

"Okay." Looking at Gu Yan's words on the screen of the phone, Yun Zheng was a little worried, but this time he completely let go, and even felt like he had already won, and he didn't need to think about the result.

This time, he did not thank Gu Yan. Because Yun Zheng believed that between him and Gu Yan, the word thank you could no longer express his feelings. So, he put it another way: "Gu Yan, I soaked glutinous rice. When you come back, I can probably make glutinous rice balls."

On the other side of Gu Yan, after receiving Yun Zheng's message, he couldn't help laughing either. Then he casually changed his size to Weibo, reposted the news of the pre-show debut of the new zero-hour anchor in his circle of friends, and commented, my Yunzheng, please give me your advice.

At 8:30 in the evening, it was the time for the joint live broadcast of Yun Zheng and Ling Xiang to start. However, this time, both Ling Xiang and Yun Zheng seemed to be influenced by the outside world, and after the warm-up, the two anchors turned off their voices and chatted privately for a while.

"This is something interesting to discuss!"

"I seem to be thinking about how to save face."

"Whether it will be broadcast live or not, ten minutes have passed! We can only see the face."

Because Yun Zheng and Ling Xiang hadn't finished their preparations yet, the tourists in the live broadcast room became more and more irritable. There are even some people who are already bored and quit to watch other people's live broadcasts.

After all, there are so many anchors, but there is only such a short time in the evening. If there are good programs to watch, who wants to waste time watching silent slideshows, right

Gradually, this negative emotion began to spread, and even some of Ling Xiang's diehard fans became anxious.

"Is it still on air?"

"I see that Xiangbao is wearing a coat, he wants to be outdoors!"

"I don't know, the public screen is too messy now, and I'm so noisy and a little depressed."

However, at this moment, the communication between Ling Xiang and Yun Zheng seemed to have ended. The two anchors turned on the microphones at the same time. I saw Ling Xiang's expression was far more excited than before. No, it should not be said to be excitement, but it should be said to be eager to try before facing a huge challenge.

"Everyone guessed right, I plan to do an outdoor live broadcast today." Ling Xiang smiled handsomely: "I'm going to take a quick trip and compete with Xiao Yunzheng by the way."

"Competition?" Everyone was stunned. They were quite used to Ling Xiang going outdoors, but how could Yun Zheng go outdoors? With a pot and spatula? But that doesn't make a fire either. What's more, the two have to compete.

This time, everyone's curiosity was suddenly aroused.

Yun Zheng also said at the right time: "Ling Xiang said that he is a big eater, and there is nothing he can't eat. I said that I can use one main ingredient to make a hundred different dishes. We didn't believe it in the end. .So I'm going to make a bet."

Ling Xiang: "I start from Yanjing and end in Xingcheng, and Yunzheng has to cook non-stop after I go out, and wherever I fly, he will use that kind of fixed ingredients to cook. What kind of dishes are there! And what I want to do is to go to Xingcheng and eat up all the dishes he cooks."

"..." Now, the entire public screen was quiet for a second, and felt that what Ling Xiang said was a fairy tale.

With the existence of transportation such as airplanes, it only takes Ling Xiang two and a half hours to travel from Yanjing to Xingcheng. But Yun Zheng's place is very difficult to do. After all, the requirements are too harsh. Using only one ingredient, but also reflecting a variety of local cuisines, is not a challenge, what is it

"no!"

"I feel that the chef is enough."

"It's good to make a gimmick, but if you exaggerate so much, be careful that you won't get off the stage later."

The barrage on the public screen is full of disbelief. But Ling Xiang didn't care about this, put on his shoes, went out happily, and said to Yun Zheng in a provocative tone, "Yun Zheng, now I'm in Yanjing, you want to cook Beijing cuisine!""

"No problem." Yun Zheng didn't show any stage fright at all, and immediately after, he carried a basket from the corner of the wall and came out. It looked heavy, and when it was placed on the cooking table, it made a heavy sound.

Open it and see, what a goddamn basket of potatoes. The originally indifferent public screen suddenly turned into a sea of laughter after a second of silence.

"Fuck! Hahahahaha, it's too bad, Xiao Yunzheng, do you want to do this? Last time it was a basket of eggs, this time it was a basket of potatoes. Isn't it going to say something amazing again?"

"Beijing cuisine, where does Beijing cuisine use potatoes? I'm afraid you are kidding me."

"Yun Zheng is always so unexpected."

"Actually, it's just for show, some dishes may not be made precisely." Yun Zheng looked at Gongping and said with a smile: "Ling Xiang is now in Yanjing, so let's start with a typical Beijing dish, Sixi meatballs. "

As he said that, Yun Zheng's hands were sharp, and he was muttering about Sixi meatballs, but he picked up a potato without hesitation.

"Didn't you say Sixi Maruko?" Someone became curious.

"Yes." Yun Zheng nodded, "Sixi balls made from potatoes."

“…” So isn’t this really serious nonsense? For a while, many people had a feeling in their hearts that it was definitely not delicious. But next, Yun Zheng's craftsmanship opened their eyes.

Who said potatoes can't make Sixi meatballs? No, it may be even more fragrant than minced meat.

Yun Zheng is famous for his sharp knife. The potato, which doesn't look very round, is in his hand, but with a few turns, the thin potato skin is completely peeled off. Cut into slices as thin as cicada's wings, put them on a plate, and steam them in a pan for a few minutes, and the texture will become soft immediately.

Yunzheng mashed the steamed potatoes into bean paste, and added a handful of white flour to make it blend, and it could be easily shaped into various shapes. Knead in a handful of chopped chives, sprinkle with a few grains of salt, there is no need to do anything else, it is already delicious enough. However, what Yun Zheng had to do was far more than that.

Beijing cuisine, also known as Jingbang cuisine, is based on northern cuisine and is formed after absorbing flavors from all over the world. Due to its special status as the capital city, Yanjing has collected the culmination of national culinary techniques and continuously absorbed the essence of food from all over the country. Sixi meatballs are one of the classic traditional Chinese dishes. happy event. Fried first and then stewed, the salty, fresh and crispy dish is the most mouth-watering.

Put the hot oil in the pan, and the light yellow potato balls have been deep-fried, adding an extra layer of crispy coating. But the softness inside is not damaged at all, but it seems to melt in the mouth more and more.

Soy sauce is always the most commonly used coloring method in home cooking, and the right amount of star anise and scallion can add a fresh flavor to it.

Who said potatoes are inferior to meat

Looking at the meatballs in the big blue and white porcelain bowl, which exudes an attractive luster, everyone almost drools.

"I'll go! Tell me, this is actually a filter right? How can a live broadcast make food with such beautiful colors?"

"I don't know either. All I can think of now is hunger."

"Damn it, I obviously ate a fat beef rice bowl, but my saliva was left because of a Sixi ball made of potatoes."

And then, there was a scene that surprised them even more.

Just like what Yun Zheng promised at the beginning, wherever Ling Xiang's plane flies, he will cook the dishes there. It doesn't matter that there is no place where potatoes can be used, Yunzheng has a special way of contingency, even if it is a prawn stewed in oil, Yunzheng can use potatoes to make the color of prawns.

Hubei cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Nanjing cuisine, Shanghai local cuisine, and the well-known Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, regardless of the mountains, south and sea, there is nothing that Yunzheng can't cook with a single potato.

As the potatoes in the box decreased little by little, the mouth-watering delicacies were delivered plate by plate by Yun Zheng to the dining table next to the kitchen. Every dish is a visual and taste feast for the tourists who watch the live broadcast.

Even in the end, many people hope that Ling Xiang's plane can arrive slowly. Because they wanted to see how much more amazing dishes Yunzheng could cook.

"Am I dreaming? Why does it feel like Kuaishoucai is acting like a full banquet?"

"No, it's not a dream. I'm confused too. How many dishes are there? Do you have thirty dishes?"

"I feel like I'm going to be enchanted. I think this little anchor is so good-looking."

In front of the cooking table, the busy scene of the teenager is warm and beautiful. Even the heavy-looking wide-backed kitchen knife became lighter. With the rhythmic sound, Yun Zheng's profound knife skills once again amazed everyone.

"It feels like those potato shreds are more precise than those cut by a machine."

"Anyway, I am convinced, and have you found out that the anchor seems to have never changed the knife."

"Ah! Really."

In the popular impression, chefs with higher skills seem to have more knives. Vegetable cutting, meat cutting, shredding, dicing, and even sometimes, even if the same food is processed, different props may have to be replaced once. However, Yun Zheng used the same knife from the beginning to the end.

Seeing the question on the public screen, Yun Zheng replied, "If you pursue a more professional and precise technique, you have to change your knife. But it's different here. Home-cooked food is nothing more than home-cooked. So, a A kitchen knife is enough."

With the passage of time, with a good gimmick, coupled with Zero Hour's spare no effort to promote, the popularity of Yunzheng's live broadcast room has really risen, and it's not just as simple as it is, it seems to surpass Xu Ziyue back then.

One hundred thousand... Three hundred thousand... Five hundred and seventy thousand... Seven hundred thousand... There are more and more people in the live broadcast room, but the growth rate of popularity has never been reduced.

"This, this is impossible!" In front of the computer, the more Xu Zi looked at it, the more frightened he became. He believes that even if Zero Hour really spent a lot of money to push Yunzheng across the network, it is absolutely impossible to achieve such a grand occasion.

Eight hundred thousand... eight hundred and fifty thousand... nine hundred thousand... no, it's already one million.

Even if it is the most established live broadcast platform, Raccoon Live did not have the best anchor of the year before its decline, that is, this popularity, even Ling Xiang, who is now known as the number one traffic in the Internet celebrity circle, can reach this step. And Yun Zheng, as a newcomer who has only been in business for three months since his humble beginnings, was able to do it.

This is absolutely impossible. Even if it is a fantasy, it is impossible to achieve it.

"It must be fraudulent traffic!" Everyone in the circle was shocked. As for Xu Ziyue, he felt even more swollen from the beating.

It's too ruthless, this is so ruthless! From Yanjing to Xingcheng, two and a half hours, the young master of the wealthy family took a walk-and-go trip, and the private jet was picked up all the way. This gimmick itself has already attracted attention. Plus a young anchor who can make local dishes out of potatoes no matter where you fly, even if you are not interested, you will probably be attracted to it and watch gossip.

But what really shocked Xu Ziyue was Yun Zheng's courage and skill. He is a cook himself, so he knows the risk of Yun Zheng doing this. As long as there is a slight mistake during the live broadcast, the whole segment will collapse.

But now

Ling Xiang was still drooling and telling jokes on the special plane, just waiting to get to Xingcheng so that he could have a hot meal. And what about Yun Zheng, after such a long period of intensive operations, not only did he not feel tired, but he became more comfortable. It just feels like some omnipotent monster.

Are all junior high school kids this awesome

Xu Ziyue was dumbfounded, staring at the screen in the live broadcast room, not knowing what to say. However, he didn't know that there were still people who were more shocked than him—the two anchors who were launched by the platform and grabbed traffic at the same time.

As for the singing one, in order to win the top position, he has already brought out all the skills that are at the bottom of the box. The dolphin's voice is high-pitched, and the classic opera is as tactful as a lark under the moon. As for the otaku goddesses, they even changed into several small skirts in a row, getting shorter and cooler with each change. Gorgeous but not vulgar, but enough to make people think about it.

However, in front of Yun Zheng, all of these were useless. It can only be said that according to the old saying, people depend on food, and money can make ghosts grind. Under the temptation of food and money, sensual dogs and horses are nothing but clouds.

And the most shocking scene is yet to come. An hour after Yunzheng's live broadcast started, and before Gu Yan got on the plane, the push forwarded by the large Weibo worked.
