Chapter 777 - 796: Before the Good Show Begins
Chapter 777: Chapter 796: Before the Good Show Begins
Little Cookie was a university student majoring in liberal arts and history.
Her academic background was evident in her writing, which made her posts especially compelling.
It began like this—
Streamer Jiang Qiuqiu’s sauce is truly delicious.
After trying the Gugu Beast meat sauce right after the first batch of crab roe sauce, I have to admit, even as a fan of Master Huang, I found it hard to say that the crab roe sauce tasted better than the Gugu Beast meat sauce.
It’s a completely different kind of umami sensation, unlike many of today’s culinary trends. Some streamers rely on spice and other intense flavors to create an extreme sensation for the palate...
After praising Qiuqiu at length, her tone shifted.
[This time, I bought both the Gugu Beast meat sauce and the crab roe sauce. To be honest, before I even opened the crab roe sauce, I felt so conflicted. It felt like I was about to have my fan card revoked!]
[But after I tasted it, I was truly blown away!]
Next, Little Cookie shared some public announcements from the production company, adding: "They said they were improving the formula, and it’s true—a good formula is a rare thing. The crab roe sauce I received this time is completely different from the first batch."
The bottle might be uglier now, but after this return to simplicity, the sauce inside is a whole new world.
I don’t know what they adjusted, but it elevated the umami of the crab to a whole new level. It seems to have the same ingredients, but it feels like a completely new product!
So savory! It’s so good it could make your eyebrows fall off! My whole heart is cheering for Master Huang!
I think we can all keep our hopes up for the crab roe sauce! Keep looking forward to Master Huang and Federation Live!
At the end, she attached a few pictures of the sauce and then tirelessly praised it all over again.
It gave everyone a visceral sense of her ’love,’ which seemed to pour right through the screen.
And also: [I don’t think we need to be so hostile. Juju and Master Huang are both excellent food streamers. They have different specialties, but both are constantly creating amazing food! We can totally like them both!]
Little Cookie was a peacemaker and didn’t want so much conflict.
But someone in the comments quickly threw cold water on her idea.
[The two sides are in the middle of a messy plagiarism lawsuit. It’s not something you can just smooth over with a few nice words.]
That was true enough.
[OP, is the formula for the crab roe sauce you got this time different from the last one?]
[Yes! Completely different! It’s a whole new thing; it blows the old formula out of the water!]
They simply weren’t on the same level.
This commenter was clearly also waiting on their sauce. [Really? Really? Now I’m getting excited for it all over again!]
Posts from neutral parties always get more views.
Some of the more level-headed Master Huang fans saw her praising Juju and asked: [So that Gugu Beast meat sauce is tasty too?]
"Yes, it’s the most incredible Gugu Beast dish I’ve ever tasted. It’s a different style from the crab roe sauce, but it’s really excellent!"
Hmm.
[Sounds intriguing.]
...
If the thread had continued in this calm, Q&A style, praising both streamers, it would have only gained a little traction within a small circle before being buried by the next big thing.
So, what sent it rocketing to the top of the trending charts?
It was a freak coincidence.
The thread slowly gained traction for an hour or two.
Little Cookie was very active, answering everyone’s questions across various platforms.
By this point, quite a few people were following the thread.
One person who had been participating in the discussion also received the new sauce she had ordered.
She read Little Cookie’s screen-filling praise—[A new formula is like a whole new sauce], [The ultimate umami], [Original and ingenious], [Good enough to go head-to-head with the Gugu Beast meat sauce], [Spicy and umami styles both have their own merits], and so on—and her own anticipation reached a fever pitch.
