258 The Cured Meat Shop

“This cured meat is exceptional, ” Yao Zizhou said. “It’s really delicious. Did you make all of this at home?”

“President Yao, my mother made all this herself. People in my hometown are accustomed to making them,” said Ju Feng.

Yao Zizhou lowered his head and thought for a moment. He then said, “Have you thought about opening a shop to sell your cured meat?”

“This is only simple food from our village. How can people in the city like it?” Ju Feng’s mother said. “And we’ll need a lot of investment to open a shop. We—”

!!
Without waiting for his mother to finish speaking, Ju Feng cut in, saying, “Mom, don’t say anymore.”

Ju Feng’s mother also realized something and quickly shut her mouth. Yao Zizhou knew what Ju Feng meant and did not say anything as well.

Ming Liuyi sat in her chair and suddenly thought of something. She said, “It takes a lot of money to open a shop, but we can sell it online!”

You Lingling’s eyes immediately lit up. That’s right, it’s cheaper to sell online. Auntie could do that!”

“People nowadays are willing to watch short videos. As long as they’re filmed well, it would draw their attention, and the sales would go up.”

“But we don’t have anyone who can push the product.” Ju Feng frowned.

This was indeed a problem. Ming Liuyi immediately thought of something.

Yao Zizhou had been popular in the short videos she took before, but she had later become too busy to shoot videos.

Ming Liuyi looked at everyone and suddenly realized that Yao Zhaoyang was still eating non-stop, and his face was oily.

Ming Liuyi picked up her phone and started taking a video of Yao Zhaoyang eating. Everyone did not think much of it and thought that Ming Liuyi was simply recording the child’s daily life.

After she was done filming, Ming Liuyi said, “Look, how about letting Zhaoyang be your ambassador?”

Everyone immediately gathered around to watch the video. In the video, Yao Zhaoyang was holding a rib in one hand and a sausage in the other. His face was oily and made the food look especially appetizing.

“President Yao, is it really okay to let us use your son as the face of our product?” Ju Feng asked hesitantly.

Yao Zizhou looked at everyone and said, “As long as my wife doesn’t have any objections, I’m fine with it.”

“Absolutely!” Ming Liuyi immediately said.

…

The next day, You Lingling and Ju Feng set up their online shop and uploaded Yao Zhaoyang’s dinner video as a short reel.

After the netizens saw the video, they left a lot of comments below it.

[Oh my god! Whose handsome boy is this?]

[He’s really handsome, but he shouldn’t eat like that. He’ll ruin his good looks if he gets fat!]

[This child looks familiar. Where have I seen him before?]

[Hey, the poster before me, go take a cold shower. What kind of person are you to eye up a child like that?]

[I know, I know! This is the child of Yao Corporation’s CEO!]

After this sentence was posted, the netizens went even crazier.

[I didn’t expect the child of a rich man to eat the same thing as me.]

[What quality is this? Is it really the same as what the child is eating?]

As the video went viral, more and more people began to ask where they could buy the pork ribs and sausages. They all expressed their desire to buy the products and try them at home.

Ju Feng took advantage of the popularity to shoot another video of Zhaoyang saying that the same ribs and sausages could be bought by clicking the shopping cart icon on the homepage. “We also have bacon!”

In just one night, he had sold thousands of orders.

This was completely unexpected to Ju Feng and You Lingling. Ju Feng said worriedly, “I wonder if we even have that much in stock.”

Ju Feng’s mother said, “Don’t worry. We have plenty at home. They’re all the best marinated black pigs. Ever since your accident, I’ve been making a lot every year. I’ve been waiting for you to wake up so that I could prepare it for you.”

“Mom, I’m fine now, and I’ll only get better and better,” Ju Feng said with a choked sob.

You Lingling was also very happy. She packed up a few things and was about to go visit Ming Liuyi.

Ju Feng’s mother immediately went to the kitchen and took out the bacon and ribs that she had prepared. She said, “Lingling, your friend has helped us so much, and now she’s even asking her child to make videos for us to earn money. We don’t have much to give them, only this cured meat. Give this to them.”

You Lingling brought the cured meat and other items with her and took a taxi to Ming Liuyi’s villa.

As soon as she entered, You Lingling shouted, “Liuyi! Liuyi! Zhaoyang’s videos have gone viral! We sold thousands of orders in one night!!”

Ming Liuyi was elated by this. She said, “Lingling, you have nothing to worry about now. Everything will only get better and better from now on.”

You Lingling nodded and passed the items she brought to Xiao Fan.

“Lingling, what did you bring?” Ming Liuyi asked curiously.

“Auntie asked me to bring you some ribs,” You Lingling said. “She saw that you all liked it, so I brought you some more!”
