Chapter 739: The Mermaid (2)

Whether she sees the male lead or not doesn't matter, but she needs to solve her daily meals first, otherwise she might want to die and won't be able to stay in this world.

Soon the nanny found three chefs for Wen Wan, and then gave her a simple recipe for scrambled eggs with tomatoes, as well as a step-by-step guide to steaming rice.

I waited for half an hour.

Wen Wan received three plates of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. One of them looked so unappetizing to her that she had no appetite at all. Another plate was very sweet. The last plate was up to standard in every way, so Wen Wan asked to keep the chef.

While eating, Wen Wan asked the aunt, "Is General Gu often not home? What does he do?"

"I don't know. How could I possibly know about the general's affairs? But Miss, don't worry. You're so beautiful, the general will definitely like you when he sees you."

Wen Wan smiled and said, "That won't happen."

After all, in the original story, the male lead and the female lead, Lin Ying, were the most compatible.

"How many girls did the aunt say this to?"

The aunt smiled awkwardly. After all, the Marshal had sent several girls over for the General to choose from, not just mermaids, but also ordinary noble ladies. However, they were all sent in and then sent away in the same way. The General didn't like any of them.

"Auntie, could you get me some clothes to change into? Preferably a dress."

The aunt was somewhat surprised by the request, but she agreed. Most mermaids still lived in the deep sea, and a small number came ashore to marry nobles. They usually didn't see any other men besides their husbands.

So whether or not they wear clothes, mermaids don't seem to care, because that's just how they are by nature. They have no sense of shame and have even used their bodies and beauty to hunt humans in the past.

However, Wen Wan is essentially a human being.

She still can't accept being naked; it feels like being stripped bare, and it's incredibly uncomfortable.

Soon, the aunt brought over several dresses, but in the end, Wen Wan only wore a tight-fitting tank top. Why? Because she was in the water, and wearing a dress was too troublesome.

Wen Wan spends her days swimming in the pool, eating and sleeping. The nanny comes to talk to Wen Wan every day and gives her a smart device, which is a watch-like device that can be clipped to the wrist. It's like a modern mobile phone or computer, but much more advanced. Wen Wan uses it to watch dramas and live streams.

Then I learned how scarce food was in this world, and that the dishes made by those popular food vloggers looked particularly unappetizing. Because of the holographic function of the AI, as long as you pay a certain amount of money, you can smell and taste the food in the vlogger's hands.

Although it was only a sense of smell and taste, rather than actually eating, this experience still shocked Wen Wan.

Wen Wan tried several times, but all attempts ended in failure, and she vomited directly.

However, those streamers made a fortune from a single live stream.

Wen Wan had the idea of ​​doing a live stream, but she was a mermaid and had no cooking skills whatsoever. She was practically a killer in the kitchen. How could she possibly start a mukbang?

Wen Wan discussed it with the nanny.

Auntie was extremely shocked when she ate the dishes that Wen Wan had the chef make, because she had never eaten such delicious food in her life.

"Can't we just film my upper body without showing my face?"

After thinking it over, the nanny finally agreed.

However, Wen Wan was required to promise that she would never reveal her identity as a mermaid, nor that she would reveal that she was in the General's Mansion.

The next day, Wen Wan prepared everything for her live stream, and Wen Wan registered her own live stream account.

—A-Yuan loves to eat braised pork.

Then I found a cute picture of a cat as my profile picture and started my first live stream, while the nanny was responsible for bringing over the dishes prepared by the chef.

Since it was her first time, Wen Wan prepared dishes that were very popular and easy to make mistakes with – the kind of home-style cooking.

They chose the food broadcast segment.

Half an hour later, only two or three audience members came in.

—Is this a new account for broadcasting? Why isn't the streamer showing their face?

—What kind of dish is this? It looks delicious.

Wen Wan began to introduce, "This is scrambled eggs with tomatoes, made with the freshest tomatoes and eggs."

—It wasn't good. I ate at Lia Restaurant once.

Wen Wan: "Give it a try. The first broadcast is free, so I can try it. I won't lose anything."

—Okay, I'll try it.

The audience member was about to take a bite, since it was free, why not? But the moment their sense of smell and taste were activated, the audience member was blown away.

It smells so good.

How can it smell so good?

Then he took a bite and was completely shocked. He then started eating like crazy and kept sending comments.

—Host, host, are you selling these? I want one, no, I want ten.

Then they showered the recipients with virtual gifts.

The other viewers in the live stream were surprised.

Is it really that delicious? I'll try it too.

Then, just like the first audience member, these few audience members went crazy for it. They had never eaten such delicious scrambled eggs with tomatoes. The fishy smell of the eggs was neutralized by the freshness of the tomatoes, making it sweet, sour, and appetizing.

"Do you need rice? I can serve you a bowl of rice."

—I need it, I need it! Quickly give me some rice, I want to eat it all.

After that, the group started eating like crazy and then sent Wen Wan fireworks, which is a gift mechanism in the live stream.

One ordinary firework costs 100 Star Coins.

It is the lowest-grade gift.

Above that, there are intermediate fireworks worth 1,000 star coins, advanced fireworks worth 10,000 star coins, special-grade fireworks worth 100,000 star coins, and a sea of ​​fireworks worth 1 million star coins—enough to fill the entire live stream screen.

Starcoins are the universal currency of this world, similar to the Chinese yuan.

Soon, more than twenty audience members came in. The process of going from skepticism to appreciating the food was just a matter of taking one bite.

Afterwards, it seemed to be a platform test. Her live stream had such a high retention rate that she was given some traffic. In just half an hour, nearly a thousand people came in.

Meanwhile, fireworks kept exploding in Wen Wan's live stream room; fireworks went off for everything she had eaten.

—Hey streamer, can this be sold?

—If you don't experience my virtues, they will disappear. Give me a chance to spend money.

Wen Wan: "I'm not selling today because I didn't make much, but I have a few other dishes that I'm sure will make all the ladies and gentlemen happy."

After seeing that the number of people had exceeded 1,500, Wen Wan served the second dish, stir-fried green peppers with pork.

— Ugh, I don't like green chili peppers, they taste awful.

—I don't like chili peppers either. They're spicy and not tasty, and they give me a stomachache. Besides, can they be stir-fried with meat? I've never tried it.

"Everyone should try it; it's absolutely delicious with rice."

—Okay, I'll give it a try.

The first person tried a bite, then lowered their head and ate it voraciously. When other audience members asked if it was delicious, the person burst into tears.

—To be honest, this is so delicious that I feel like I can see my great-grandmother again; it tastes just like my great-grandmother.

The audience: "???"

What do you mean by "too milky"? That's ridiculous!

So I tried them one by one, and then I found them really delicious.

—This meat has absolutely no fishy smell, and it's very tender, not dry at all. It tastes much better than what I've had at a five-star hotel. Plus, the chili flavor is so addictive. Give me a bowl of rice, I need to eat this.

—Does the streamer sell? I'm willing to pay ten times the price.

—Waaaaah, I really saw how cute I am, it really feels like the taste of family.

A batch of fireworks exploded, including quite a few mid-level fireworks and even several high-level fireworks.

Wen Wan's live streaming career has been pushed to a lot of people, and the number of viewers has jumped to over 10,000.

Wen Wan was also somewhat surprised.

"The third dish is a fish, steamed sea bass."

Wen Wan brought the dishes up.

The audience who were just recommended to come here immediately felt disgusted by the fish.

—This stuff is extremely fishy and doesn't taste good at all; it has a muddy flavor.

—Seeing so many people in the live stream, I thought it was a real food broadcast, but they actually brought out this kind of thing. Fish needs to be seasoned with strong flavors to suppress the fishy smell, otherwise it's inedible.

—Let's go, let's go. People actually watch these kinds of mukbang videos.

However, while the newcomers were still complaining, the viewers who had been in the live stream before started eating, and then they ate and tipped like crazy.

—Wild boars can't eat fine bran. This is the best fish I've ever eaten in my life. It's not fishy at all, and it's so tender, smooth, and fragrant.

—Hurry up and eat, stop talking nonsense.

New viewers, skeptical, also tried a bite, and then went completely crazy, wishing they could bite their tongues off.

How can it taste so good?

Wen Wan was also eating. She prepared two portions of each dish, one for the audience and one for herself. Wen Wan ate with great relish and focus, and although she didn't talk much, she could still stimulate people's appetite.

As viewers spread the word after discovering how good it was, Wen Wan's live stream began to gain popularity rapidly, reaching 50,000 viewers in just one hour.

Furthermore, the retention rate is over 90%, which is an extremely impressive figure.

She quickly attracted the attention of the platform, but Wen Wan continued to diligently perform her mukbang (eating broadcast) routine.

"The fourth dish is a soup, seaweed and egg drop soup, which is perfect for when you're tired of eating the same thing."

After finishing the soup, the last course was a dessert: strawberry mini cakes. Their delicate texture and sweet taste drove the viewers in the live stream wild.

It was only this time that Wen Wan truly realized how impoverished the world's food culture was, to the point of being barren.

Wen Wan let out a burp.

Nearly three hours have passed since the live stream started, and the number of viewers in Wen Wan's live stream room has exceeded 100,000.

"That concludes A-Yuan's live stream for today. Thank you for your gifts and for watching."

—Is it over? Is that all? Please play it a little longer, I haven't had enough yet.

—When does A-Yuan start her live stream tomorrow? I'll be watching on time.

— I need takeout, I need takeout, I need takeout! Please help my child, he/she can't eat anything else.

Wen Wan: "I broadcast every day, around the same time as today, and I also do takeout. I really don't have the ability to do that, but I can share recipes with my fans for free, hoping that everyone can enjoy delicious food."

The viewers in the live stream went even crazier when they heard that the recipes would be shared for free.

After all, recipes are family secrets for any chef, so how could they be given away for free? However, this was not a big deal for Wen Wan. After all, she did not create these recipes. It was a good thing to improve the food level for the people of this world. Moreover, it would be a pity if these traditional dishes really disappeared.
