Recently, an online "Duck Blood Beauty" has become extremely popular. Yesterday, after an investigation by the reporter, it was discovered that just as netizens suspected, the person who posted the thread was indeed a "shill", and he was the husband of the "Duck Blood Beauty"! Behind his painstaking promotion lies a touching story.

"The 'Duck Blood Beauty' is very popular online.

"On Caixia Street, there's a beautiful female boss who sells duck blood vermicelli soup; she should be called the 'Duck Blood Beauty'!" Recently, a netizen named "Tutu YaYa" has been posting everywhere, promoting a duck blood vermicelli shop across from Feiyu Internet Cafe on Caixia Street as being very "unique." Not only does the female boss look as beautiful as Xi Shi, but the duck blood vermicelli also tastes good. The key point is that it's very cheap, costing only 3.5 yuan per bowl.

"Tutu YaYa" also included pictures, uploading five stunning portraits of the "Duck Blood Beauty" in one breath, urging everyone to help pin the post to the top.

Sure enough, there were many replies, with dozens every day. Some praised: "Delicious food plus beauty, I'll go and try it one day." Others said: "Not only will I visit, but I'll also take a photo with her!" Many people suspected that the poster was a "shill" and repeatedly questioned the poster: "How did you get the portraits of the Duck Blood Beauty?"

"Tutu YaYa" initially explained: "The portraits were copied from QQ." Later, he simply ignored these doubts and said: "On-site investigation proves it's true, and the taste is authentic." In the comments, the reporter found that he either replied daily with "support one" or praised the taste of the duck blood vermicelli as "good."

Is "Tutu YaYa" really a shill? What does this "Duck Blood Beauty" actually look like? Is her skill truly top-notch? Yesterday, the reporter walked into Caixia Street out of curiosity.

She has fair skin, slightly plump, and the legendary "Duck Blood Beauty" in front of the reporter looked less alluring but more adorable.

Her surname is Tong, and she is 26 years old. She used to work as a clerk in a company, while her husband, Mr. Tan, worked as a driver for a unit. Their monthly income was over 4000 yuan. "At this rate, when will we be able to buy a house and a car?" Mr. Tan, who had always lived with his mother-in-law, thought about starting a business. Since Miss Tong's salary was low, they decided that she would resign first and "test the waters."

In September this year, Miss Tong chose an eleven-square-meter storefront on Caixia Street, and the small shop officially opened for business. "The business hasn't improved yet, but the 'Duck Blood Beauty' has already gained popularity," Miss Tong shyly laughed.

Husband comes up with a brilliant promotional idea

In the initial stage, the duck blood vermicelli shop didn't hire any helpers, and Miss Tong served both as the boss and the assistant. This was difficult for her. Before her father passed away, she was pampered and never even washed dishes, let alone made duck blood vermicelli soup.

To support her, the entire family mobilized. Her mother, who was an accountant, got up at 5 o'clock every morning to buy duck blood and duck liver, and helped her cook. Her husband provided full support, arriving at the store before work every day to prepare a pot of soup. Miss Tong wasn't idle either, opening for business at 11 a.m. every day and closing at 11 p.m.

"The first day, I only sold two skewers of Guandong stewed food, and no bowls of duck blood vermicelli soup were sold. The second day, I sold two bowls of duck blood vermicelli soup." After two days, Miss Tong's enthusiasm was dampened. Tired and frustrated, she cried when she returned home. Her previous life was fulfilling, spending her days negotiating with clients and having more time to work with colleagues, discussing various topics. Now, she not only had to endure the pain of slow business but also had to do hard labor every day, learning how to use coal stoves that she had never cooked with before.

"Starting a business is like this." Seeing his wife crying, Mr. Tan sympathetically said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

After a sleepless night, Mr. Tan came up with an idea to promote his wife online. "There are many outsiders selling duck blood vermicelli soup on the street, but few are as beautiful as her, a local Nanjing woman." Mr. Tan had a sudden inspiration, "In ancient times, there was the Tofu Beauty, and now there is my wife, the Duck Blood Beauty." Thus, he posted her portraits online, calling her the "Duck Blood Beauty," "The ultimate goal is to grab attention, making more people pay attention to her duck blood vermicelli shop, giving her more support."

Many came to see the Beauty

After Mr. Tan posted the thread, Miss Tong's business gradually improved. One day, as soon as Miss Tong opened her shop, a man walked in and told her that he had come specifically to try the duck blood vermicelli soup after reading the post. While Miss Tong was puzzled, an elderly couple arrived from Zhonghua Gate to eat the duck blood vermicelli soup, also saying they were curious and wanted to see what the Beauty looked like. To understand the situation, Miss Tong quickly called Mr. Tan, only then realizing that her husband had promoted her as the "Duck Blood Beauty" online.

Faced with various discussions from netizens, the introverted Miss Tong "was very unaccustomed," but she understood her husband. She quietly told the reporter that her husband wasn't easy either. To support her, he changed his online identity every day, pinning the post to the top and praising her.

"Last Saturday and Sunday, my revenue exceeded 100 yuan!" Miss Tong said that her heart felt relieved as her revenue increased, and she couldn't help but marvel at her husband's "creativity."

However, Miss Tong needs to be careful of criminals. During the two busy days, she received two fake hundred-yuan bills. Now, she has stuck the two counterfeit notes on the wall as a warning.
