Recently, on the Douyin platform, an "egg god" emerged - with instructions on cooking eggs that are accurate to seconds, he gained 3.83 million followers in 9 days. The cause was that a netizen posted a picture of a hard-boiled egg with a "golden sand texture" yolk cooked by his father. "Egg Eater" accurately left a message in the comment area: "The water is boiling to lay the egg. Take it out in 9 minutes and 12 seconds and immediately put it in cold water." The netizen reproduced the egg perfectly after actual testing, triggering heated discussions across the Internet.
The blogger then systematically shared the techniques of cooking eggs, which are cooked in 7 minutes and 11 seconds and fully cooked in 9 minutes and 11 seconds. Each egg cooking method corresponds to a timetable accurate to the second.
On December 12, the vice president of Douyin responded that "The popularity of Dan Shen is a god." He said: I see someone is saying that Douyin created a god. In fact, we only paid attention to him after he became popular. I personally think there are several reasons why he has attracted so much attention. First, the content is indeed very scarce. No one has ever seen how he can cook eggs to the extreme, which is a contrast. Second, it is indeed very practical information. Many people follow his egg boiling method and cook their own dream eggs, which is especially useful for young people who are usually busy studying and going to work. Finally, it arouses everyone's resonance for living a good life and living seriously. In fact, there is no algorithm to "create gods". In many cases, it is the content or the author who suddenly hits the general social sentiment.
The reporter talked with Mr. Feng, the blogger who is known as the "Egg God" on the Internet. Regarding his experience of "becoming a god in one sentence", he used several "never thought about it" and "I am just an ordinary person who loves to eat eggs."
Mr. Feng told reporters that he loves eating eggs. From his initial health habits to his subsequent fitness needs, and then to his heartfelt love for eggs, he found his own sense of ritual in the things he repeats every day. "Creating fun is my attitude in life. I like to create different fun in a single thing." In his opinion, since you want to eat eggs, it is better to make them with different textures, "it can also improve your happiness."
Regarding the controversial statement of "eating 40 eggs a day", Mr. Feng refused to mention it. He said that he was proud to be able to use his superficial knowledge to help everyone find eggs that they like the taste of. "I will continue to update my superficial understanding of eggs, such as selecting eggs and judging the freshness of eggs."
On the same day, the reporter interviewed Zan Bowen, a cooking teacher at Sichuan Tourism University. He said that precise egg boiling is not a metaphysics. Culinary professionals will determine the temperature and time through orthogonal experiments and response surface experiments. They can also use equipment such as colorimeters and GC-IMS to determine the taste of eggs from dimensions such as color and flavor.
