Let eating delicious food become suffering

The 23-year-old "big stomach king" Xiao Liu can eat 5 meals a day. Because he loves to eat, he became a "food broadcaster". I don’t know if the money has been made, but the weight has been earned—he gained 30 pounds. He was already fat at 220 Jin. He also ate himself into the Hangzhou Red Cross Hospital-at a young age, he suffered from osteoporosis.
In the eyes of others, Dangchibo seems to have a low threshold: it does not require too much talent and beauty, as long as you can eat it. What is the real "eat and broadcast"? Yimeng, the "big stomach king eating and broadcasting" that became popular in 2018, is considered to be the "net celebrity" in the food industry in Hangzhou, with a high appearance and a good body. But in the past two years, there has been less and less news about her. How is she? Yesterday, a reporter from Qian Bao contacted the Chongqing girl born in the 90s. She was attending an event in Pujiang, where she supervised two small "eat and broadcast": "I am trying to make money. The debt is paid off."
Can eat since childhood
Eat more than 13 catties of food at most
At 1.63 meters tall, Yimeng has only 94 jins.
Yesterday morning, her takeaway breakfast arrived: a Chongqing rice noodles, a Chongqing noodles, a Shandong multi-grain pancake, a luxurious hand cake with two eggs, loin, ham and chicken chops, a chicken wing rice, 3 bottles Drink.
In terms of "eating", Yimeng said that she had a talent since she was a child. "I have to eat like this for every meal. I have to eat almost seven or eight catties, otherwise I will be hungry and have low blood sugar."
She tried to drink a bowl of porridge and eat a bun for breakfast, and it didn't take long before she started to feel dizzy. In the most exaggerated time, Yimeng ate hot pot and ate 13.4 kilograms of food, "If the time is long enough, I can eat hot pot for a day." Every time after eating, Yimeng's belly is obviously protruding, but she said it is not uncomfortable.
"Poop six or seven times a day, and continue to eat it the next day." Yimeng told reporters that she can eat since she was a child. There should be a gene of "big stomach king" at home. "My grandma can eat 6 large bowls of rice with one meal. My mother is worried about me, but I don’t feel uncomfortable.” She went to the hospital for a checkup. Her stomach is larger than ordinary people’s, with a thicker stomach: “The most important thing is that I like to eat. I think eating is A joy and happiness."
Yimeng attended the university in Hangzhou. In 2018, by chance, she signed a contract with a live broadcast platform and embarked on the path of full-time "eat and broadcast".
Eat and broadcast late at night
The more food you eat, the more expensive you spend
Yimeng didn't expect that he would fall into a vicious circle.
Her job is to broadcast live for 3 hours a day and eat. It seems easy and simple, but Ke Yimeng spent more than 3 hours of time and energy—before the live broadcast, she spent at least 2 hours preparing and putting on makeup. After the live broadcast, she also interacts with everyone in the fan group and sometimes plays games with the fans to increase stickiness. The live broadcast is late at night. She sleeps during the day and her life is particularly unhealthy.
In the beginning, Yimeng’s focus was only on “quantity”. A few bowls of noodles and steamed buns were all cheap food. Later, fans began to ask: "Eat something a little more expensive, and the plates and bowls should be nice too!" Yimeng was right to think about it, and began to focus on "quality": expensive Japanese ingredients, high-end Western food ...... She eats more and more advanced food, and spends more money. The most expensive meal, she ate more than 3,000 yuan alone. On average, she spends at least one or two thousand yuan on food a day. She will also fly to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Beijing and other places to do food and broadcast. Finally, her fans grew more and more, with more than 4 million fans at most. But she spent more and more money, "Unlike those anchors who sing and dance, eating food has a lot of expenses, and my savings are getting less and less."
Before doing "Eating and Broadcasting", Yimeng's monthly meal cost was 15,000 yuan simply because of her large appetite. But at that time, with her salary and part-time job, she could support herself; but after full-time "Eating and Broadcasting", Yimeng did not For part-time jobs, "The platform has a basic salary of 2,000 yuan per month, and the rest depends on fans to give gifts. I am very Buddhist in receiving gifts, so my income is very small. When there is a promotion, I have more money, maybe seven or eight thousand at a time. Yuan." But the income is not enough to spend, "I don’t have enough money to spend on clothes, food and so on."
She can only think of various online loan platforms. More often than not, there are more than a dozen loan softwares on her mobile phone, "Take down the east wall to make up the west wall. Adding up to seven and eighty-eight, including interest, when I found out, there had been a total of seven or eight hundred thousand yuan."
That was the beginning of this year.
Leave to eat and broadcast
Strive to get back to a normal life
Yimeng gradually couldn't hold on, "Eating became unhappy. Once, a fan asked me to eat 8 kilograms of fried rice, and I could eat it, but it was too tired, but I still had to keep going."
Yimeng said that when he didn't do the eating broadcast, eating was enjoyment, but after the broadcast, it became painful eating, and he kept being asked questions and interacted with fans, "the more I eat, the less happy I am."
Various minor problems also appeared in her body: she felt a little osteoporosis, and she was not so flexible in walking; because of long-term drinking of carbonated drinks and sugar, she had a lot of cavities.
At the beginning of 2020, she left the company, "I no longer do full-time food broadcasting, but the contract is still there. When I do occasional promotion, I will do it."
Yimeng moved from Binjiang to the north of the city with a monthly rent of 3,800 yuan to reduce expenses. Now his main task is to take on various jobs to pay off debts, including graphic models, brokers, etc. After improper eating and broadcasting, Yimeng started doing yoga and drinking tea. She wanted to work hard to get back to a normal life. Up to now, Yimeng still owes more than 200,000 yuan, "try to pay it back within half a year."
In the end, she said, don't think that the money for "eating and broadcasting" is easy to make, and the last thing you consume is actually yourself. She advises everyone not to try it lightly: "People should be excited when eating, otherwise it is difficult to mobilize the emotions of other people in the live broadcast room. It is really difficult."
We don’t have a big stomach

His short videos are vivid and colorful, and the food is very tempting. He used a stone slab and simple ingredients to accompany the country's green trees and water to form a unique sense of beauty.

As a full-time eating and broadcasting, Pan Panman spends his time from morning to night on selecting materials, shooting and editing, and live broadcasting. The location has to be beautiful and beautiful, and Panman has stepped on many points. Now, he is shooting in a cave, "I do live broadcast to chat with netizens, bring goods, and cooperate with some rewards and advertising. But currently, traffic It seems that it is enough, and the realization is not enough." He said reluctantly that netizens have a curious mentality. He also made some simulated food videos and some uncommon foods. But in the future, "My little goal is to sell out some local specialties one day."
●Hangzhou wild food brother Hao Shi:
In the second half of 2016, he started to make short videos. He said that he mainly relied on serious plot design, shooting storyboard editing and soundtrack to attract fans, "I did not choose to overeating. I am not a big appetizer, nor is this method. My interest lies.” Xiao Hao usually broadcasts live broadcasts mainly through chat, and occasionally eats something, such as hot pot and fried skewers. The live broadcast of eating is not the focus. The food and amount he eats are more casual, and there is no repeated eating. "More often, I am sharing cooking methods. After all, the body is the most important thing."
