A tall tree would attract the wind because it was a serious subject related to physics. It was scientific and reasonable. When a person became famous, he would attract all kinds of strange people. It was the same as a tall tree attracting the wind. It was also scientific and reasonable.
To be precise, it wasn't that being famous would attract strange people. It was that strange people liked to get close to famous things.
Because of Ma Zhida's money box, the Yuanzhou shop had attracted people to fight against counterfeits.
This wasn't strange. In the past, there had been live streamers who suspected the price of the restaurant and said they wanted to fight against counterfeits. They tested it on the spot and directly ate the dishes. However, the person attracted by this incident was different.
First, in terms of popularity, the ID of the person this time was Unworried Mulberry. He was a big VIP on Weibo. Not to mention the number of zombie fans, his Weibo followers exceeded a million. His main job was to fight against counterfeits, especially fake news.
For example, if there was a rumor that it was a good idea to award 10,000 yuan to each student who got into university, Unworried Mulberry would investigate the whole story and find out that it was fake. The so-called 10,000 yuan was a subsidy given by the government to poor students. Therefore, Unworried Mulberry would jump out to clarify the news.
Strictly speaking, Unworried Mulberry's existence had more advantages than disadvantages. In the era of social media with the development of Weibo, fake news and real news emerged one after another. People could no longer distinguish between the real and fake news.
Unworried Mulberry had been paying attention to the Yuanzhou shop for a long time. However, he hadn't investigated it on the spot. On one hand, the city he lived in was quite far from the Yuanzhou shop. On the other hand, Unworried Mulberry didn't often release news about food counterfeits.
Today, when he saw the money box, he was like a shark that smelled blood. Unworried Mulberry felt that it was time to go and take a look.
First, the price of the Yuanzhou shop was more than ten times or even dozens of times higher than the price of other shops. Unworried Mulberry didn't think it was a big deal as long as the price was clearly stated. Moreover, Unworried Mulberry had also collected comments about the restaurant on the internet. Although they were all criticizing the expensive food, there was another word that appeared more frequently: delicious.
Delicious. No matter how expensive it was, as long as someone was willing to pay for it and the person who paid for it felt that it was worth it, it was nothing.
In Unworried Mulberry's opinion, this incident was definitely a publicity stunt by the Yuanzhou shop. In his opinion, it must be because the food in the restaurant used to be very delicious, but after it became famous, the standard of the food dropped. Unworried Mulberry had seen too many of such examples. For example, because A Bite of China became famous, the old lady's noodle stall in Shancheng became known as the number one noodle stall in Shancheng.
However, when Unworried Mulberry went to eat a bowl of noodles, his standard could only be considered to have barely reached the standard of a small noodle shop in Mountain City. Moreover, the noodles in this shop were more expensive than others. To put it bluntly, the price of the noodles at the old lady's stall was supported by her reputation.
Therefore, Unworried Mulberry believed that of Yuanzhou shop was the same. The taste was that the noodle stall in Unworried Mulberry thought. Not to mention that the brain circuit of a verified user was beyond that of an ordinary person, he was able to come up with a big show from just a little bit of information.
Taking a step back, Unworried Mulberry's brain circuits didn't come out of nowhere. He had evidence. In this money box incident, he immediately smelled the scent of Internet Water Army. This incident was so popular that it didn't make sense. Therefore, in Unworried Mulberry's opinion, it was definitely a publicity stunt by the Yuanzhou shop to maintain its popularity.
Therefore, as a self-media person with a conscience, he had to expose this rumor.
Without hesitation, he booked a plane ticket for the afternoon. At three o 'clock in the afternoon, Unworried Mulberry arrived at Chengdu. He hailed a taxi from his motorcycle.
"No. 14 Taoxi Road." Before Unworried Mulberry came, he had already confirmed the address. This was what a smart person should do. He wouldn't be so stupid as to directly tell the taxi driver to go to Yuanzhou shop. How could an ordinary taxi driver know such a detailed address?
Thinking of this, a witty smile appeared on Unworried Mulberry's face.
"No. 14 Taoxi Road?" The taxi driver was stunned at first. Then, he came to a sudden realization. "Oh, I know. Little brother, you are talking about the Yuanzhou shop, right? Okay, no problem. Sit tight."
The taxi driver was a middle-aged man in his thirties, so it wasn't a problem for him to call him little brother. He started the car, looked at the rearview mirror, and kindly reminded him, "Little brother, next time you go out to take a taxi, just tell me the name of the shop. How can we taxi drivers know the number of No. 14 Taoxi Road? Fortunately, you said this place. If you said No. 33 Taoxi Road, we definitely wouldn't be able to find it. "
Unworried Mulberry indicated that he didn't want to talk at the moment.
The driving speed of the taxi drivers in Chengdu was quite good. Moreover, it wasn't after work hours, so there wasn't any traffic jam. After a little more than half an hour, the taxi arrived at the intersection of Taoxi Road.
"There are many people lining up on this street, so we usually stop at the intersection or the end of the street," the taxi driver explained.
Unworried Mulberry looked forward and saw that there were many people. Moreover, there were indeed no cars driving into the street. He nodded, paid the driver, and got out of the car.
"A small street hidden in the bustling city. The environment is pretty good," Unworried Mulberry muttered.
As mentioned before, Taoxi Road was an undeveloped street. However, both sides of it had already been developed into commercial areas. On the left side was a large office building, while on the right side was a Wanda Plaza. As a result, Taoxi Road appeared very small, like a retro street hidden among the skyscrapers.
Why did Unworried Mulberry think it was retro? It was very simple. On this street, there were many small stalls that were rarely seen nowadays, such as those selling candied haws, cotton candy, and sugar figurines. Many of them couldn't be seen nowadays.
Of course, what surprised Unworried Mulberry the most was that even with so many small stalls, the street was still very clean and tidy.
"It's really strange," Unworried Mulberry couldn't help muttering.
It was a retro street that was specially used for tourists. There were many small stalls there, and the street looked clean and tidy. However, as long as one got close to a garbage can, the stench would soar to the sky, making people cover their noses and walk away quickly.
However, there was no such thing here. The garbage station at the intersection of the street looked very clean and tidy. The garbage was neatly sorted and arranged. There was even a nest-like object at the side, and the lively cries of the stalls rose one after another.
"Sugar figurines, sugar figurines, sugar figurines that you can blow by yourself."
"Candied haws, candied haws for sale. Boss Yuan said it's good after eating it. Come and buy it."
"Cotton candy, cotton candy for sale. Boss Yuan loves cotton candy the most. You won't regret eating it."
"Interesting." Hearing these cries, Unworried Mulberry couldn't help but become curious.
Throughout the whole process, Unworried Mulberry didn't ask for directions. He just observed secretly while walking to Yuanzhou shop.
His pace was neither fast nor slow. He observed carefully so that the article he wrote would be authentic. This was Unworried Mulberry's habit.
