--OP, you damn fraud! Luring us in for the kill?
--Clickbaiter! Reported! People like this are so annoying.
--Damn these lucky bastards! I say we string them all up and spray them with black ink!
Jiang Qiuqiu almost choked on a sip of water when she saw the follow-up comnts on the post. She coughed twice and gave a helpless smile.
’The people in this thread are getting more and more bizarre.’
Besides these individual complaint threads, Jiang Qiuqiu noticed that so cooking threads had also popped up in the fan circle.
[So of Juju’s recent dishes seem pretty simple, so I’m giving them a try.]
--The fish balls seed relatively easy, so my roommate and I decided to make them together!
A video was attached below, and Jiang Qiuqiu, curious, took a look.
She could tell the two girls had probably also bought a large black fish from Taotao Fresh.
The video started by filming the box from the delivery robot—
One of the girls said, "What do we do? The fish is alive."
"And there’s no video of Juju killing a fish on her stream."
Then, the two of them opened their terminals and carefully reviewed Jiang Qiuqiu’s video from that day. They had a sudden realization: "Juju chopped its head off during the minute the lights were out!"
"Let’s get the head off, too!"
They studied it for a while, then imitated Jiang Qiuqiu, announcing, "Due to the potentially graphic nature of killing a fish, we will be turning off the stream for two minutes."
Then, after a choppy fast-forward through the two minutes, the video feed flickered and returned. The screen lit up, and countless comnts flashed by:
--Before, I didn’t know why you’d have to turn off the stream just to kill a fish. Now I know.
--Ah! So graphic and violent.
--...
--I don’t think you two have any talent for cooking. Next!
The black fish, which should have been lying on the cutting board, hadn’t died imdiately—either because the young won hadn’t used enough force or had struck the wrong spot. Instead, it started thrashing around the kitchen.
First, it knocked over a pot, leaving a puddle of blood.
Then it slid and slid, slithering onto the plain white floor and leaving another puddle of blood.
The young won were probably too scared to grab it. After finally psyching themselves up to catch the fish, it struggled with all its might, broke free, and flew onto the white wall. Another puddle of blood.
After a full five minutes, the two girls threw down the knife with a CLATTER and directly called the Federation housekeeping service.
The end of the video showed a troop of housekeeping robots filing in to wipe the floor and walls, before carrying away the half-dead fish.
The video concluded with the ssage: "That was reckless of us! We’ll try again next ti!"
"Next ti, we’ll have the shop owner kill the fish for us!"
Jiang Qiuqiu couldn’t help but roll around on her bed with laughter.
After browsing for a while, she backed out and noticed a new post in the "latest" section—
[Investigating the Relationship Between Soybeans and Tofu]
The thread was very popular, as everyone was curious about tofu.
--How do soybeans turn into tofu? I bought a huge pile of soybeans overnight to experint.
--??? When did you place the order, OP? It’s already been delivered? Where do you live?
--Hiss... I’ve been found out. To be honest, I’m the one who sells soybeans on the Taotao Fresh Food Network! My business has been terrible lately! Without Federation subsidies, I can barely afford to keep growing soybeans, WAHHH! Nobody buys them, so I want to learn how to make them into tofu. Maybe I can earn so money that way!!!
--Go for it! I support you, OP! Keep exploring, and if you figure it out and it tastes even a little bit right, I’ll definitely buy, buy, buy!
A crowd of people in the replies cheered on the Taotao Fresh Food Network shop owner.
Soone in the replies even specifically tagged Jiang Qiuqiu, asking if she could do a tutorial on turning soybeans into tofu so this brave soul could learn.
