Part 4
But even if they doubled the price and sold it all, it couldn’t sell for that many star coins.
Someone looked at Hanna in disbelief and trance. “How much star coins do you sell one skewer for?”
Hanna held up one finger. “One thousand star coins. One catty makes five skewers.”
Everyone gasped. Good heavens, who was crazy enough to set such a price?
But, not only did they sell out, but it wasn’t enough?
Then just how delicious must it be?
Everyone stared at Hanna in unison, suddenly revealing brilliant smiles. “Hanna, do you still have skewers? We’re all on the same team; you must have saved some, right?”
Hanna shrugged. “Don’t even think about it. I had to swipe my card and line up to eat myself.”
He didn’t even have enough for himself, and they thought there were leftovers? Keep dreaming.
He then looked at City Lord Xuan, counting on his fingers. “City Lord Xuan, the Vice City Lord definitely can’t grill alone. We need to train people this afternoon quickly. Think about it, this was just one morning. If we open all day, with six shops running together…”
The Entertainment District head reacted first. “Wait, what are you thinking? Although it is indeed good, the problem is the customer flow is limited. Six shops might not be full.”
The reason their West Underground City wasn’t doing well now was that the customer flow had been poached by the other three cities causing trouble.
There were only so many people; opening so many shops wouldn’t work.
Hanna looked at him like he was an idiot.
The manager laughed angrily. “What do you mean?”
Hanna: “Why do you think so many people cleaned out the skewers in a few hours this morning?”
Manager: “Because it’s delicious.” Looking at him, it was obvious. Whatever method was used, it was absolutely delicious.
Hanna spread his hands. “Do you think with such crazy demand, and being the only place that has it, that our West Underground City will only have this little traffic in the future?”
Are you kidding? Please don’t compare past traffic with the future, okay?
He even felt six shops weren’t enough!
At this moment, everyone finally realized the seriousness of the matter. Holy crap, right. The other three cities used crooked ways to grab customers, but now they also had a big killer move!
Wow, if people really swarm in, wouldn’t the other districts be boosted too?
Is their West City going to be revitalized just like that?
Everyone looked at each other, then turned to look at City Lord Xuan in unison.
City Lord Xuan hadn’t expected Mr. Bai to revive the Underground City with a single move. He thought for a moment and contacted Ning Yunyi on the spot. After getting an affirmative answer, this time, almost all six district heads acted together.
This wasn’t about one district; this concerned all six districts.
Ning Yunyi had already finished converting the kitchen, exactly following the layout of the villa kitchen on the Garbage Star.
Back when he thought the apocalypse was coming, he had hoarded everything he could think of. Most of the things in the villa were taken from his space.
Since he livestreamed in the kitchen, he took out a screen and placed it in the same position to act as the kitchen door. Blurring the background a bit, no difference would be seen.
He wasn’t surprised when City Lord Xuan asked for his opinion and naturally agreed.
When the time was about right, Ning Yunyi informed the big cat and little meow cub in advance and clicked on [Star Stream], which he hadn’t entered for several days.
As soon as Ning Yunyi entered the livestream room and the familiar cartoon virtual character appeared, the foodie friends who couldn’t help but squat in the livestream room on time every day were stunned, rubbing their eyes in disbelief.
【Ahhh holy crap! Streamer, you’re finally online!】
【Wuwu, it’s been almost ten days! My spiritual sustenance! Finally back!】
【Great joy! Waited for heaven and earth, for stars and moon, finally!】
Ning Yunyi looked at the screen full of exclamation marks and smiled. “Sorry, I was delayed for a while this time. To make it up to everyone, I’ll add an extra portion of taste for each dish today.”
The foodies in the livestream room naturally had no objections and cheered.
Ning Yunyi planned to do something different for this return livestream after such a long break.
He had eaten too many barbecue skewers in the past two days, so he chose a seafood feast for a change.
Plus, these things had long existed only as extinct species of the Ancient Blue Star. For the first broadcast back, it naturally had to be rare enough.
There was probably nothing more special than these things.
With this thought, Ning Yunyi began. “The first dish we are livestreaming today is [Garlic Clams].”
【??? I know garlic; the streamer used this seasoning in many dishes before.】
【But what are clams? @Luke, it’s your time to shine.】
【@Luke, as a science blogger, don’t drop the ball.】
On the other side, Luke, who was also squatting in the livestream room on time, had tears in his eyes. He finally waited for the streamer to come online. Heaven knows how envious he was when he heard that his teacher had freeloaded roast meat with cumin seeds at Elder Tang’s house?
The teacher ate it alone, completely forgetting about his students!
But hearing the strange name, he checked the Ancient Blue Star species illustrated handbook, and the whole person was confused.
It took a long time before he tremblingly typed a few words: 【Clams… Flower Clams? That extinct mollusk from the Ancient Blue Star, the Flower Clam?!】
This bolded golden barrage suddenly popped up in the livestream room. Everyone gasped upon seeing it. Good heavens, another day of gaining knowledge.
Luke was smart this time and didn’t dare notify his teacher. After all, it would be too late even if the teacher knew; it would probably be out of the pot by then.
Would the teacher cry then, or cry while saying it smells so good?
Ning Yunyi didn’t look at the barrage after speaking. He had already taken out the clams from the space, which maintained the freshest state just as they were put in.
His space couldn’t store living things, so they died instantly upon entry but were kept at the critical point, remaining in the freshest state.
He first blanched the clams with cooking wine and fished them out after they opened.
Then he began to stir-fry the garlic sauce. After it was fragrant, he poured in the drained clams, stir-fried them to absorb the flavor, finally drizzled soy sauce for color, collected the juice over high heat, sprinkled chopped green onions, and served.
When the first dish was laid out, every clam was coated in garlic sauce, and the clam meat was soaked in the juices. Just one look was enough to imagine how fresh and flavorful it would be in the mouth.
【Thinking that I can’t eat these delicacies in this life, I can’t die in peace, really can’t die in peace…】
【Who isn’t the same, wuwu.】
【You guys can at least smell it. Look at me, the unlucky chief. I’ve been in the livestream room since the first day the streamer started, and it’s been so long, yet I haven’t snatched a single taste! Wuwu, I didn’t get any of the many flavors last time. God gave me a chance, but my bad luck allows me only to watch, not even a chance to smell.】
【Comparing like this, suddenly my mood is better.】
【Brother is miserable enough, but you comforted me. Thinking of you, I’m suddenly okay.】
Ning Yunyi placed the first dish on the warming panel and brought out a plate of long tentacled objects.
“This is the second dish, [Cumin Squid].”
【We already know cumin, but squid??】
【Very good, another day of learning. This time, I don’t need Luke; I can predict it’s an extinct species from the Ancient Blue Star.】
【You are right, wuwuwu.】
【Seeing Luke cry so miserably, hahaha who would have thought I was a fan of his high-cold persona not long ago.】
【Is the person in front so heart-stabbing? Declaring unfollowing to his face?】
【But my past male god and my current male god are the same male god.】
