Chapter 761: Celebrity Reviews
The live broadcasting location had moved from the kitchen to the dining table.
The camera focused closely.
Senge jiizi took a knife to slice open the outer layer of the cardboard box, revealing a long and hard white gift box.
The box was pure white, embossed with snowflake designs that sparkled under the light.
Impressed by the high-quality packaging, Senge jiizi, in view of the live camera, grabbed her phone and took multiple angle photos until the impatient comments on the live stream urged her, then she laughingly said, "Don't rush!"
Her palm gently stroked the front of the gift box, the words "Seven-Colored Snow Woman" engraved in black cursive Chinese script, giving an unrestrained and wild impression.
She tore open the box's seal.
It felt as if her breath had stopped; Senge jiizi removed the bottle and then paused in astonishment.
The bottle didn't appear immediately after being removed from the gift box but was still wrapped in a layer of white opaque paper full of mystery.
Senge jiizi's breathing became slightly heavier.
"It feels like opening a magic box!" she told the live camera.
"Open it! Open it!"
"Jinzi, open it!"
The comments urged her.
Crrrk!
The moment the white paper was torn, as a corner of the translucent glass bottle was revealed, a halo surged towards both the eyes and the live camera.
"Ah—"
Senge jiizi suddenly tensed up, her face full of astonishment and delight.
The comments exploded.
The semi-translucent, high-quality glass bottle seemed like it contained an invisible array of colorful neon lights, the burst of rainbow light extremely dazzling.
"Wow!"
"It looks like the colorful glowing drinks from a summer festival stall?"
"Pfft, look at this light effect, fantastical—no, it should be called magical, as if a fantasy magician had cast a spell of rainbow light on this bottle... How can it be compared to some cheap drinks worth a few hundred yen?"
The comments argued about the light effects.
Unintentionally, Senge jiizi caught sight of a comment reminding her to check the "Seven-Colored Snow Woman" product label usually stating the drink's ingredients and alcohol content.
With a thud on her heated forehead, disoriented by the glowing effect of the drink, Senge jiizi suddenly realized, pulling the back label close to the live camera to share with the audience.
"Ingredients: Top-grade pure rice Daiginjo (over 99%), Rainbow Fruit juice (less than 1%)."
Uh, that's it?
Where are the glowing additives?
"Wait!"
Senge jiizi's eyes scanned the IGO international safety certification, the Neon food label, then returned to the ingredient list, staring intensely at the line "Rainbow Fruit juice," her breathing suddenly quickened.
Oh my God!
After confirming what she saw, Senge jiizi's expression transformed into ecstasy as she shouted towards the live camera, "Did everyone see that?"
"We saw it!"
"Can't believe it!"
"Heaven's sake, the source of the drink's glow lies in Fantasy Ingredients!"
Both the comments and Senge jiizi were cheering and jumping for joy.
After a good while, Senge jiizi with trembling hands reached for her most treasured sake cup and poured a small half-cup.
Although the juice content was only 1%, the liquid seemed like seven-colored silk, smoothly glowing as it flowed from the bottle to the sake cup, continuously shimmering with halos that made the air inside the room seem to freeze, leaving only astonishment.
After taking a small sip, Senge jiizi closed her eyes, deeply indulging in the flavor.
The drink had a low alcohol content, so it didn't sting her nose upon consumption; instead, there was a slightly warm and sweet taste.
The Rainbow Juice didn't just disappear in the sake, although Senge jiizi had her eyes closed while tasting, she saw her mouth and tongue dotted with colorful specks of light, and as she slowly swallowed, her entire body lit up, her internal organs shining like precious gems in her field of vision.
Suddenly, an irresistible feeling of comfort made the famous big eater lift her head and moan.
But then, the screen was flooded with a barrage of question marks.
Senge jiizi's pretty face flushed with a shy and timid look, revealing a change in her demeanor directly on the live stream, which piqued the curiosity and astonishment of many viewers.
Had this famous big eater been captivated by just a sip of this drink?
After a pause,
with a hint of longing, Senge jiizi slowly opened her eyes and said to the camera, "Xue!"
"??????"
Question marks flooded the screen again.
But this time, Senge jiizi didn't explain, she just smiled wistfully and said, "This wine, it's so beautiful it's intoxicating!"
She reached for the half-transparent white bottle on the table and clung to it tightly, unwilling to let go.
"Pleading for a lesser role so early in the reign."
A half verse sufficed to describe Senge jiizi's inner affection for the bottle of wine.
...
As night fell, after dinner, Xia Yu was about to head into the kitchen to delve into mastering the newly perfected "Spice Inequality" cooking skills with Taboo Spices, but Yuchuan Meisha caught him with her smartphone, giggling.
"Boss Xia, we have a huge problem!"
Her call didn't match her laughing demeanor.
Xia Yu's forehead creased, "Sister Meisha, just tell me what it is, don't act like a child."
Yuchuan Meisha, not caring what he said, came closer and showed him the screen, "Do you know Senge jiizi? Her livestream just ended a little while ago, and it seems to have caused quite a stir!"
"Huh?!" Xia Yu raised an eyebrow, "And then?"
"Her livestream today was a review!"
"A review of our 'Seven-Colored Snow Woman' sake!"
Oh.
Snatching Yuchuan Meisha's phone, Xia Yu scrolled through Senge jiizi's social media, where she had posted a new tweet with a promotional poster of the 'Seven-Colored Snow Woman,' saying, "I've found her, thank you so much."
The comment section was lively.
"Is Jinzi really not paid for the review?"
"Buy, buy, buy, this ad, this review, I'm all in!"
"Didn't you forget that 'Seven-Colored Snow Woman' has been sold out?"
Refreshed again, Senge jiizi posted another tweet linking to a video, "The review video is included in my column, you can check it out. Also, @Xia Yu, thank you for developing such a priceless sake with a true chef's heart. Thanks for the early Christmas gift!"
"9998 yen, very conscientious price, I would join the buying spree without hesitation and add another zero, no regrets!"
After reading, Xia Yu gave a thumbs up, "Great!"
The first celebrity review made him extremely happy.
"There will be many more sponsored posts tonight, Boss Xia, keep an eye on them!" Yuchuan Meisha giggled.
Xia Yu shrugged, "Too many good reviews can be sickening, actually I'm more interested in seeing some bad ones now."
"Bad reviews?"
Yuchuan Meisha widened her eyes, then angrily said, "Who would dare give Xue a bad review, has their conscience been eaten by a dog?"
"Those paid to do so will," Xia Yu chuckled.
Baishi Jianyilang was just leading the charge, a lone charging wolf, and as tomorrow's news would overwhelmingly cover Xia's Farm's new special product and various reviews, the powers behind the scenes were sure to step up their actions.
However, Xia Yu wasn't worried at all.
Such bad reviews, for the high-quality 'Seven-Colored Snow Woman,' were as ineffective as trying to stop a chariot with arms.
Slander?
Sorry, Xia's chariot would crush it with an upright and imposing manner.
