When the sweet cheese potato ball was bitten into, it emitted a heavy wall of steam. The footage captured Yu Ci’s lower jaw. The delicate, white skin made his female audience members’ eyes redden in jealousy. With their discerning gaze, they could tell that Yu Ci was not using a filter during the broadcast, but even they weren’t expecting that Yu Ci to be such a natural beauty!
However, Yu Ci wasn’t paying attention to that. His thoughts were firmly focused on his fried cheese balls. This was the first time he made this dish, and he had specially prepared it just for the livestream. Who would have known it was so delicious. He took another bite, the sweet taste flooded his mouth while the scent of melted cheeses filled the kitchen. Yu Ci breathed in the scent and sighed, feeling content.
He wiped his hands and picked up the phone to showcase his potato cheese balls, “These sweet potato balls are really good. I suggest everyone try and make some. I promise you you won’t regret it.”
After saying that, he ate another ball.
“After watching the host continuously eat a bunch, I just know it tastes good.”
“Ah! Ah! AH! I didn’t record the steps! Does the host have a Weibo? Can you post them there?”
“I really can’t hold on anymore. Host’s hands are so beautiful.”
“Hey, hey. Just placed an order. Now I’m waiting for them to arrive so I can make potato cheese balls too!”
“Wtf just happened. The anchor I found yesterday suddenly gained so many friends! Anyways, sisters, please buy! I bought potatoes yesterday and they’re really delicious! Now I just ordered another 50 catties. I’m set for a while!”
“Hey that previous sister, are you being serious? You aren’t bought by the host right?”
“Me me me! I also taste tested some! They just arrived, and made some mashed potatoes. They taste way better than the regular market potatoes. I’m not lying!”
The comment section started to talk about the potatoes again. Yu Ci covered his mouth and let out a small burp. There were so many potato pancakes and cheese balls left over. Even though they were delicious, he couldn’t finish them alone, so he decided to give some to Qi Huai.
And like that, Yu Ci planned to end the livestream. The potato pancakes and balls wouldn’t taste good if they got cold, and according to Qi Huai’s delicate palate and personality, Yu Ci’s afraid he wouldn’t even give them a glance.
Yu Ci looked back at the screen and announced, “Everyone, I’ll read the private messages later and send the shipping numbers. Today’s broadcast will end here, see you all next time.”
He moved his finger to the close button and contemplated sending a ‘thank you’ message to Admin 003.
Admin 003 was an administrator, and to be delegated into watching his small broadcasting room must have been tough.
003 quickly responded with a ‘no need to thank me,’ and was watching the increasing number of private messages. He felt that Yu Ci didn’t need to waste time selling potatoes. Instead, Yu Ci could make quite a fortune as a food blogger. In less than an hour, the reward amount had exceeded 5 thousand.
This was a pretty rare occurrence, even for popular anchors.
Even more, Yu Ci’s conditions weren’t as good as a popular anchor. He had only been on for two days and didn’t have die-hard fans who could casually donate 10,000 yuan in one go.
After deciding about it, 003 advised Yu Ci that in the future, when he sees the audience sending him gifts, he could read their usernames outloud and thank them.
Yu Ci sent over a question mark and typed: I didn’t see anyone sending me gifts?
Now it was 003’s turn to send a question mark.
What? Then what’s this 5 thousand dollars?
Oh! 003 suddenly had a realization, he slapped his thought and quickly sent a voice memo: Did you block the gift effect? Remember to have it on next time otherwise people might not give you gifts.
Yu Ci walked outside with a plate in one hand and the other hand scrolling through the broadcasting platform. He found that there really was such an option and replied an “okay” before putting his phone away and knocking on a door.
After waiting for a few moments, Yu Ci looked at the closed door confusingly. It was almost 7 o’clock, had Qi Huai not got off work yet?
Giving his potato dishes a distressed look, he thought if this was the case, then he’d have to throw them out. With a heavy sigh, he turned back. When he was confirming his fingerprint on his door lock, he heard a sudden clatter behind him and a door opening.
Yu Ci turned around and was stunned.
Qi Huai looked as if he had rushed out of the bath in a hurry. His short black hair was dripping water droplets down his forehead. A bathrobe was loosely tied around his body, revealing a generous amount of smooth white skin. Yu Ci’s eyes dilated. He thought that QI Huai’s figure was too perfect, just like a white jade bottle, with no flaws in sight.
He just doesn’t know if that chest would feel like a white jade bottle or not.
Realizing where his thoughts were heading, Yu Ci quickly shook his head, mouth twitching.
Qi Huai frowned, his voice was deep and a little hoarse, “Headache?”
Yu Ci let out a dazed, “ah?” before waking up, “Oh no, no. I didn’t know you were taking a bath. These are some potato pancakes and cheese balls for you to eat.”
Qi Huai took the plate, raised his head, and in a serious tone, uttered, “Thank you.”
Yu Ci waved his hands and was prepared to leave when Qi Huai asked, “How are your potato sales?”
“Pretty well. I had another livestream today and a lot of people had placed orders.” Yu Ci smiled, “When they’re sold out, I’ll take you out to dinner.”
Qi Huai wanted to refuse, but after seeing Yu Ci’s narrow and beautiful eyes, he relented, “I’m about to head on a business trip soon. Wait till I return, I’ll treat you to a meal.”
“You treat me?”
Qi Huai nodded, “I treat you.”
There were alot of people who wanted to buy potatoes from Yu Ci, so he had to negotiate with the shipping company. He would allow the delivery drivers to drop by from time to time for a cheaper price. After sending out the potatoes, Yu Ci looked into the storage room. There weren’t many potatoes left.
Since there were still some students who wanted potatoes, Yu Ci drove the truck to school the next morning. The security uncle was quite familiar with Yu Ci, so he pointed him towards an open parking area that wouldn’t affect the normal flow of traffic.
Yu Ci then sat under a tree, waiting.
Within a short while, a group of students ran out of the buildings, clamoring around the truck.
“School Grass! You’re finally here!”
“Today I’m going to fry some potatoes. I even prepared the sauce!”
“School Grass, look, I’m paying.”
Within an hour all the potatoes in the truck were sold, only leaving behind the dirt from the potatoes. Yu Ci picked up his phone and glanced at his WeChat and Alipay wallets. His combined income from the past two days was almost 50,000 yuan. If he didn’t need to take account of the expensive price of land development, then he definitely would have been very proud of the amount.
As he packed up to leave, he suddenly sensed something. Yu Ci tilted his head slightly and his eyes fell upon a man in a black suit on the other side of the school gates. The man was taking pictures of Yu Ci and accidentally made direct eye contact with him.
The man froze, and felt so embarrassed, he wished he could just disappear.
Yu Ci showed a mocking smile.
He was familiar with that person. That man was Song Hao’s assistant, Li Yuan. Huh, who knew that Li Yuan was so free and had time to watch him sell potatoes. Yu Ci inwardly sneered at the man while keeping his outward facial expression neutral as he climbed onto the truck and drove away.
Li Yuan stood there stupefied.
Yu Ci was the second young master of the Song and Yu family. Any random car in Yu Ci’s garage was worth millions, but he chose to drive around in a dilapidated truck that would fall apart at any second. Don’t even mention President Song feeling embarrassed, even he feels ashamed.
Those who didn’t know would probably assume that the second young master of the Song family had been bullied and now has to pitifully rely on selling potatoes to make a living.
Foreseeing President Song’s anger when he sees these photos, Li Yuan bit the bullet and sent them to Song Hao.
Song Hao was sitting in his office when his cell phone buzzed. Without even looking, he knew it was from Li Yuan. Furrowing his eyebrows, he opened the messages and was livid at what he saw, cursing, “Ridiculous! This is ridiculous!”
He called Li Yuan, “Where’s that bastard? Bring him here. Today, this old man’s going to educate him!”
Li Yuan internally thought that even you, who was Yu Ci’s old man, couldn’t even deal with him, how would I, an outsider, bring him back? Was that command a joke?
Chuckling awkwardly, Li Yuan could only tell Song Hao the truth, and that ‘bastard’ had given him a mocking look before leaving.
The veins on the back of Song Hao’s hand throbbed as he slammed it down on the table. Loud shouts rang through the office, faintly reaching the ears of the eavesdropping crowd outside the door. The group of people looked at each other, before hurrying back to their workplace and tried to reduce their sense of existence.
Recently, President Song’s temper has gotten so violent that even his wife and beloved daughter’s visits wouldn’t calm him down.
They were only small employees and should stay under the radar to avoid accidentally provoking his anger.
Yu Ci didn’t know about what was occurring at Song Hao’s side, nor was he interested. He delivered the truck back to its original owner, thinking that he might have to buy his own truck. It wouldn’t be nice to constantly borrow someone else’s truck. After deciding for a while, he called the car dealership he generally goes to.
The manager’s face bloomed with joy when he saw it was Yu Ci who was calling.
Yu Ci was a major customer of their dealership. It wasn’t just Yu Ci, but the entire Yu family. Yu Shi, the man in charge of the Yu family, would not hesitate when buying a car for his younger brother, always choosing some sort of limited edition sports car.
The manager responded cheerfully to Yu Ci, knowing that he was going to make a fortune today. After exchanging some polite greetings, he brightly stated, “We got a new car two days ago. There’s only ten in the world. Would you like to come over and take a look?”
Yu Ci refused, “Currently, I’m not using that type of car.”
The manager wasn’t discouraged, “It would be a valuable addition to your collection.”
Yu Ci made an ‘en’ noise and continued, “I’m calling today because there’s a car I want to buy.”
The manager nodded, “Do you know which brand and model? I’ll go prepare it for you.”
“Are there any trucks with a large carrying capacity, are safe, and have good quality and performance?”
Manager: ??
