Chapter 367: Chapter 357: Poverty Has Limited My Imagination

In just a short time, from live streaming platforms to Weibo, the buzz around the "three hundred thousand yuan cutting board" kept climbing.

That’s right.

This eye-catching topic had barely hit the trending list before it shot up to the top 20 positions.

To be precise, it was at the 18th position.

And this hype is still continuing to rise...

Every time you refresh Weibo.

The ranking on the trending list would jump several spots upward!

Once you open the topic, the discussion comments have already soared to over sixteen thousand!

"I’m shocked! I even dropped the little fish snacks in my hand!"

"Wow... Can I really watch this for free? That tiny cutting board is actually worth three hundred thousand, just wow! Poverty is really limiting my imagination! By the way, could the owner of this restaurant possibly be a rich second generation?"

"Pardon my poor eyesight, I can’t see any difference between this cutting board and a regular wooden one."

"Do you guys think that stuff sliced on this three hundred thousand yuan cutting board will taste better? Will it be more delicious?"

"I can’t really say, but price-wise, it will definitely be more expensive! Don’t ask me how I know, just ask my subconscious, it’s what I believe."

"You’re greatly mistaken, the Peking duck sliced on Boss Huang’s cutting board costs just 188 yuan for a whole duck and 98 for half, but it tastes much better than Quanjude’s! And all the dishes at Delicious Restaurant are of high quality and reasonably priced, there’s certainly no overpricing. I can swear to everyone on this." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Oh my gosh... So this trending topic is about Delicious Restaurant?! As a die-hard fan, I just found out that Boss Huang uses a three hundred thousand yuan cutting board for slicing our Peking duck, and I’m both shocked and thrilled! Shocked by the cutting board’s exorbitant price, thrilled because every bit of Peking duck I eat is sliced on a three hundred thousand yuan board... Every bite feels top-tier, what a deal! But Boss Huang, you’ve kept this from us so well..."

"I heard that the boss of this restaurant once appeared in an issue of ’Food and Beauty’ magazine, and it was personally invited by the beautiful Chief Editor Lin Manli."

"This restaurant appeared on ’Food and Beauty’? And invited by the beautiful chief editor personally? But it looks a bit like a paid feature!"

"I can assure you it’s absolutely not paid; I witnessed Chief Editor Lin Manli of ’Food and Beauty’ handing out her business card to Boss Huang after tasting his cuisine at a food festival, inviting him to feature in the magazine. As I recall, Boss Huang initially declined using ’being busy with the food festival’ as his reasoning, but Chief Editor Lin insisted and adjusted to Boss Huang’s timing, only then did he agree."

"I can testify, I was there too, I saw it all. Even the former state banquet head chef Wei Mingguo tasted Boss Huang’s braised dish and was moved to tears, unable to stop praising Boss Huang’s skills!"

"Whether it’s delicious or not, or how good the skills are, I’m not too bothered, I just want to know if the cutting board really is worth three hundred thousand!"

"Same question! Is there anyone knowledgeable who can enlighten us, online and waiting, quite urgently."

"At [Antique Appraiser Old Hu] online."

[Antique Appraiser Old Hu] runs an antique shop.

Although he runs an antique shop, Old Hu is not at all old-fashioned and keeps up with trends.

Back when short videos were gaining popularity, he also jumped on the bandwagon and registered an account.

In his spare time, he loves showcasing treasures in his livestream to viewers.

Thanks to his solid professional knowledge and keen eye, he has carved out a niche in the self-media-dominated online world.

He’s somewhat well-known!

Right now, Old Hu, after finishing dinner, sprawls leisurely on his living room sofa, scrolling through short videos.

He was engrossed!

But was interrupted by constant Weibo alerts.

He wasn’t annoyed.

Just chuckling as he opened to have a look...

Oh my god!

There were hundreds of private messages and mentions.

Of course, he’s encountered such a situation often, so he wasn’t surprised.

Typically, a flood of private messages and mentions indicated something valuable had surfaced.

His interest piqued immediately, and he sat up straight.

Following a link provided by a fan, he opened it.

"What? A three hundred thousand yuan cutting board?"

Though he was long involved in the antiques industry.

But he really hadn’t dealt with cutting boards before!

Fortunately, Jiang Qihang’s video was very clear, showing the entire cutting board in detail.

He closely scrutinized it multiple times over.

Finally.

His eyes lit up, he slapped his thigh with delight, saying, "Absolutely, absolutely, this cutting board is made of Chun Wood, and it’s top-grade Chun Wood!"

"Moreover, this cutting board’s core is reddish-brown, with a light yellow surface, and the tree must be at least a hundred years old!"

Though not an expert in cutting boards, he has extensive knowledge of valuable woods.

Chun Wood is indeed not as renowned as Golden Rattan Wood or redwood.

But that’s only because Chun Wood is harder to cultivate.

Due to this.

Over time, Chun Wood furniture has become significantly more expensive than those made from Golden Rattan Wood!

In other words!

The price of this cutting board isn’t just three hundred thousand!

After confirming, he couldn’t help but "tsk tsk" and estimated the cutting board’s value.

Then he tapped out a relevant post on his screen.

[Antique Appraiser Old Hu]: Three hundred thousand? Ha-ha, if that’s the price, give me a stack of these boards! I bet I could sell each for at least sixty thousand.

Already ignited by the three hundred thousand price tag, the netizens erupted upon seeing Old Hu’s professional assessment post.

"What? Si...Sixty thousand? Am I seeing things?"

"You’re not seeing things, it’s indeed sixty thousand, but... what happened to three hundred thousand!"

"That inconspicuous cutting board costs sixty thousand... Oh! Once again, poverty limits my imagination!"

"I don’t think I’d earn that kind of money even if I worked for my entire life! Sigh!"

"This owner must have a gold mine! Using a sixty-thousand yuan board to slice duck without batting an eye, if it were me, I’d enshrine it and pass it down through generations."

"You’re too small-minded! Using a sixty thousand cutting board to slice duck generates buzz, spurring discussions, making more people aware of this restaurant; the owner really knows business."

"I trust Antique Appraiser Old Hu’s words, he’s never misjudged anything so far."

"I heard everything from this place is especially delicious."

"Duck sliced on a sixty thousand cutting board, how could it not be delicious?"

With the topic’s popularity surging continuously.

The trending list’s ranking rose, attracting more and more attention.

Even some internet celebrities and stars showed up to check-in.

Hoping to ride the wave.
