Chapter 72: Stir-fried Happy Pig Blood with Garlic Sprouts
Xue Qi finished get off work in the evening and was tidying the yard with Grandma Liu and Xiao Wen.
Cheng Kai called and said with a sad face, "Sister Seven! Something happened!"
Xue Qi asked back on the phone: "What's wrong?"
Cheng Kai choked up for a while, almost crying. "Didn't you have time to sign a contract with Taoti? Did you check Hedgehog Entertainment's Weibo? They actually officially announced that they had signed a contract with Taoti! Oh my god! This girl is clearly the one we made famous, but she's making wedding dresses for others!"
Xue Qi: "Why are you so anxious? If they can send undercover agents to us, can't we send undercover agents there too?"
Cheng Kai calmed down a bit. "Sister Seven, what do you mean? Are you saying you sent an undercover agent there too? Who was the undercover agent you sent?"
Xue Qi: "Gorgeous little girl. Don't worry, with her around, I believe Hedgehog Entertainment will declare bankruptcy in less than a month."
Cheng Kai thought of that silly girl: "Sister Seven, are you serious? She's just silly... Do you think she can do it? I'm afraid she will be bullied to tears."
Xue Qi: "Don't worry, Hedgehog Entertainment will be bankrupt within a month."
Not only that, the little Taotie will also become popular because of this.
Hedgehog Entertainment has very good resources. Because Little Taotie signed an unequal contract and is a big eater, Hedgehog will definitely give the resources to her.
As long as resources are focused on one side, Xiao Taotie can eat and gain followers. As for Xue Qi, all he needs to do is wait for a good harvest.
Without spending a penny, he can gain a high-traffic internet celebrity in the world of big eaters, and at the same time, he can use this opportunity to suppress Hedgehog Entertainment. It’s like killing two birds with one stone.
Xue Qi had it all figured out: by the time Xiao Taotie became a top internet celebrity, Sun Shaoqi would be graduating from high school.
A mythical beast, the little Taotie, and a rich second-generation who just entered university. When these two come together, isn't it a fantasy-themed youth campus novel?
Xue Qi happily imagined Taotie reaching the pinnacle of his life, having a beautiful love affair with Sun Shaoqi, and then creating a world of beautiful love.
As the mentor of the heroine Xiao Taotie, she can make a fortune while keeping her private life hidden from readers. It's perfect!
After Cheng Kai finished talking to Xue Qi on the phone, he felt numb, his whole body was cold, and his head was buzzing.
Xue Qi hummed a little tune and returned to the upstairs yard.
Grandma Liu looked at Xue Qi's departing back with a puzzled look on her face, muttering softly, "Why does this girl look so happy?"
Xiaowen shook her head: "I don't know, Grandma. Let's just ignore her. It's a rare opportunity to get off work early, so why don't we go play games?"
When Grandma Liu heard about playing games, she nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, let's go play games!"
Ever since Grandma Liu sent her grandson Liu Wu away, she has been free of worries and has become much younger and more energetic.
She donated all the income from live broadcasts to children in mountainous areas, leaving only a small commission from Xue Qi to support her own life.
Recently, she and the children in the studio have learned to play games. After get off work every day, their greatest pleasure, besides square dancing, is playing games with Xiaowen.
On the third floor of the villa studio, Xue Qi set up a game room specifically for them, which can fully meet their daily gaming needs.
Sun Shaoqi finished his homework and came down from his upstairs room to rest. He excitedly said to Xue Qi, "7 Mom, I just saw the news that Little Taotie has signed a contract with Hedgehog Entertainment? Brilliant! Not only do we not have to support her, but we can also use the enemy's resources to make her famous. 7 Mom, you're a master!"
Xue Qi asked him, "Have you finished your homework today?"
Sun Shaoqi straightened his chest and said, "Of course."
However, just as he finished speaking, he heard Cao Yue upstairs, holding up his freshly completed test paper and yelling, "Sun Shaoqi! You can even get such a simple and basic question wrong? Come up here and do 100 questions of the same type!"
Sun Shaoqi looked at Xue Qi with a look of grievance.
She shrugged, expressing helplessness: "If you can't get into a 985 university, don't come to my place for free meals in the future."
Upon hearing this, Sun Shaoqi drank a glass of water and hurried upstairs to continue doing the questions.
…
Around eight o'clock in the evening, Xue Qi was watching TV in the living room when he heard the doorbell ring.
She opened the door and found that it was Cao Feng and Tang Xiong, and they brought a girl with them.
Xue Qi recognized this girl. She was An Lele, the top eater of Hedgehog Entertainment. Xue Qi had been watching videos of Hedgehog Entertainment's top internet celebrities these days and knew that this girl hadn't done any food broadcasts for several days.
Xue Qi glanced at Cao Feng and Tang Xiong, then at An Lele, and whispered, "What are you doing? Hedgehog poached a little Taotie from me, and you're giving me An Lele? That's totally unnecessary."
Cao Feng whispered, "Go upstairs and talk in the study."
Xue Qi saw Cao Feng's serious expression and knew that things were not as simple as she thought.
After going upstairs, Cao Feng said, "77, this may seem outrageous to you, but it really happened. Now, no one can help us except you."
An Lele also said: "Master, I am An Yin."
Xue Qi was drinking water and spat out a mouthful of water when he heard this.
She was not shocked by An Yin's rebirth, after all, she herself was reborn in the same way.
To her shock, Cao Feng's ex-girlfriend Bai Yueguang was reborn and came to her for help!
Xue Qi felt that this relationship was extremely awkward.
Fortunately, Tang Xiong broke the awkwardness in time and said, "Boss Xue, with your ability, can you see how long An Yin can stay in this body? An Yin has been examined, and all her physical indicators are normal. She is not feeling any discomfort at the moment."
Xue Qi glanced at the top of An Yin's head, and sure enough, a line of subtitles appeared:
【The reborn female special forces soldier.】
[A virus derived from the Taotie virus. This virus will persist unless the main virus, Taotie, dies.]
As a virus in this world, Little Taotie is afraid of only water, and the only thing that can suppress her is delicious food.
The more it eats, the stronger its divine power becomes, and the greater its ability to resist water damage.
Even though it is a book spirit in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", it will not really die because of being injured by a large amount of water and its divine power is weakened.
Happy food can suppress Taotie's appetite and restrain her from turning into a ferocious beast.
Once Taotie transforms into a ferocious beast, it will harm the humans in this world and commit many evil deeds.
At that time, Xue Qi, as an antivirus software, will be able to kill her and rid the world of harm.
To sum up, as long as Taotie does not transform into a ferocious beast, he will not die, and An Yin will not die.
For her, An Yin's rebirth is certainly a good thing.
This is a reborn girl, and you can use her as the background to create a career-oriented heroine.
She has already thought of a name, which is "Female Special Forces Soldier Dressed as a Poor Girl".
Xue Qi felt like he was being assisted by God. Now he had both the candidate for the female lead and the backup candidate for the female lead, and all that was left was for the main God to decide on the female lead!
Xue Qi said, "She was reborn in An Lele's body, but An Lele is already dead and won't suddenly disappear. An Yin is no longer a ghost. She is an ordinary person like us. She will feel pain and encounter danger like ordinary people."
After she explained this, everyone felt inexplicably relieved.
Xue Qi looked at Cao Feng and wanted to ask something, but he didn't say it out loud.
Cao Feng seemed to understand her thoughts and immediately said, "I have no relationship with An Yin. If you must talk about a relationship, it's probably the ex-girlfriend relationship in your eyes. I don't think having a past is a problem. 77, no matter who or what changes, I will always love you unwaveringly."
Xue Qi rolled her eyes at him: "...My head is already very greasy, please don't add more oil to it."
Tang Xiong and An Yin looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Xue Qi looked at them and asked, "Are you laughing at Manager Cao?"
Tang Xiong raised his finger and swore: "I swear, I didn't."
An Yin got back to the point and said, "Let's get down to business. From An Lele's memory, there's a massive criminal network behind Hedgehog Entertainment. They've driven many people to death, and their actions are all immoral. Boss Xue, do you think there's any way to completely shut down Hedgehog Entertainment?"
Xue Qi: "Yes, I've sent all the undercover agents there. It'll take a month at the fastest, three months at the slowest. How quickly Hedgehog Entertainment goes bankrupt depends on whether they can provide enough food for Little Taotie."
She paused and looked at An Yin: "Can you tell me more about the system of Hedgehog Entertainment? I'm very curious about what kind of resources and background they have that allowed them to rise in such a short time by copying us."
Tang Xiong replied, "After our investigation over the past few days, we have discovered that Hedgehog Entertainment is not just an entertainment company. It is a debt collection company that is used to restrict young people who have been deceived.
Behind Hedgehog Entertainment, there are a series of brand companies named after hedgehogs.
Debt collection companies purchase debts from all walks of life. Once they become creditors, they force debtors to work for them. They specialize in lucrative, rarely pursued industries such as live streaming of explicit content, explicit video filming, heavy mining, and live streaming of harmful content.
Xue Qi frowned, quickly realizing the problem. "The biggest problem is that, as creditors, they offer jobs to debtors after learning they can't repay. Morally and legally, they hold the moral high ground. As for explicit livestreams, they certainly aren't filmed in China, so there's nothing we can do about them."
Cao Feng: "That's where the problem lies."
An Yin said, "An Lele, a girl, fell in love with a bad man at the age of sixteen, and ended up helping him rack up a massive debt he couldn't repay. She recently learned that her boyfriend was also a subordinate of Hedgehog Entertainment's fifth brother. Within the Hedgehog Group, there are men and women who specialize in scams. They engage in emotional deception against men and women, leaving them with huge debts.
When they were unable to repay the debt, the creditor, Hedgehog Entertainment, provided them with a work platform and food and lodging. Instead of thinking about reporting Hedgehog, these people became grateful.
The girl paused and gave another example: "Hedgehog Entertainment's popular actress, Chen Hedgehog, was deceived into taking out a plastic surgery loan. Unable to repay the debt, she was persuaded by Fifth Brother to get plastic surgery to resemble you. Even her figure is strikingly similar to yours."
Xue Qi: “…”
She thought the "Shayanglou" incident was already outrageous, but she didn't expect the "Hedgehog" incident to be even more outrageous.
An Yin waited for her to digest it for a while before continuing, "Of course, there were quite a few people who were driven to death by them. Most of those who couldn't pay back their debts and didn't want to be exploited by them anymore chose to commit suicide. Hedgehog Entertainment bought insurance for each of them, and the beneficiary was always Fifth Brother. As long as they died accidentally at work, they didn't have to pay for compensation themselves; the insurance company would cover it. Therefore, their business of buying debts and becoming creditors only made money and never lost money."
Xue Qi was silent for a moment, then sighed, "The weather's getting colder, Hedgehog's probably going bankrupt."
She took a deep breath and thought as calmly as possible.
After a moment, she offered a suggestion: "This Hedgehog Entertainment and that Fifth Brother are probably just small fry. We'd better seize this opportunity to wipe out the forces behind Hedgehog."
An Yin nodded: "Yeah, I think so too."
Xue Qi asked again: "Have you called the police?"
An Yin: "Of course. We've been running around these past few days. We've already called the police, and they've opened a case for investigation. They won't be making any public announcements for now. Investigating Hedgehog Entertainment is no small undertaking."
Xue Qi said, "The people from Hedgehog Entertainment forced Little Taotie to sign an unfair treaty. Of course, they thought this unfairness was directed at Little Taotie, but it was actually directed at them."
She briefly explained the treaty proposed by Taotie to the three of them.
Cao Feng and Tang Xiong said almost in unison:
"It's cold and piercing."
Xue Qi comforted An Yin: "Don't worry too much. You just came back to life, so enjoy your life on earth. Eat and drink well. If you feel bored, you can come to our place to do live broadcasts. We do food broadcasts here, focusing on quality, not quantity."
An Yin nodded: "Okay, thank you Boss Xue for your care."
Xue Qi: "Next, let's wait for Hedgehog Entertainment to go bankrupt before making the next plan."
"good."
…
Xue Qi sent the three people away and continued to handle the work until one o'clock in the morning.
When I was about to go to bed, I received a message from Cao Feng: "Are you still asleep?"
Xue Qi sent a "hmm".
Cao Feng took a screenshot of two movie tickets: "I bought two tickets for a play. Tomorrow is the weekend. Let's go see it together?"
Recently, Sun Fugui and Chu Tianwang have been working abroad, and Cao Feng's work has been relatively easy recently. The absence of his rival is his best opportunity.
Xue Qi thought of An Yin and felt bad. He refused: "I won't watch it."
Cao Feng was rejected, but he didn't continue to pester her. Instead, he said, "Okay. Good night."
"good evening."
After turning off his phone, Xue Qi tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
All right?
good evening?
That’s it?
Shouldn't he explain in more depth his current relationship with An Yin and their future plans?
The next day, the weekend, Xue Qi slept until ten o'clock.
When she went downstairs, the children had finished their meal, and Cao Yue and Sun Shaoqi had gone to Chu Xing's house next door to do their homework.
Grandma Liu has nothing to do and is taking care of the flower garden.
Xue Qi walked into the kitchen to cook something, but saw Cao Feng cleaning the kitchen.
She was surprised: "Manager Cao, why are you here?"
Cao Feng looked up at her and said, "You don't want to go to the movies, and I can't ask you out, so I just came here to clean up for you. First, thank you for taking care of Cao Yue. Second, to see you."
Xue Qi glanced at him, cooked a bowl of dumplings and ate them quickly.
After breakfast, Xue Qi went to the parking lot to ride his tricycle out, intending to go to the nearby countryside to collect a few pigs.
Winter has come and the end of the year in a blink of an eye. There are more partners in the studio this year, so she plans to make some bacon and sausages in advance and distribute them to relatives and friends as benefits.
When Xue Qi rode his tricycle to the garden, he passed by Grandma Liu and said to her, "Grandma, I'll leave the homework of the three children to you. I'm going to Fengping Village to buy some pork."
Grandma Liu was loosening the soil in the garden. She nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead. Don't worry about me."
When Xue Qi was about to start the car again, he saw Cao Feng sitting in the back through the rearview mirror.
At some point, Cao Feng had already sat in the back hood of her tricycle.
Xue Qi turned to look at him: "...Manager Cao, what are you doing?"
Cao Feng: "It's the weekend, I'll be with you."
Xue Qi refused: "No, I don't need it. Men affect my speed in drawing my sword."
Cao Feng: "I owe you too much. You must let me do something."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Xue Qi simply drove the tricycle out of the villa: "Okay, just treat it as pulling a pig."
Cao Feng naturally noticed Xue Qi's emotional changes.
Ever since she learned last night that An Yin was reborn, her attitude towards him has obviously changed.
However, Cao Feng felt that this might not be a bad thing.
He couldn't be sure whether Xue Qi liked him, but her attitude definitely showed that she had a possessive desire for him.
Once this possessive desire arises between men and women, love is not far away. This is a process of establishing a resonant magnetic field.
Although Cao Feng has never been in love, he believes that he is not lacking in theoretical knowledge.
At around eleven o'clock, Xue Qi brought Cao Feng to the village.
The farmer just pulled five pigs out of the pigpen.
When the farmer saw Xue Qi, he immediately greeted him with a smile: "77, you've come at the right time. I just pulled out the five pigs you selected and will kill them right away!"
This was Cao Feng's first time to come to the countryside to watch pigs being slaughtered. He felt that having such an experience with Xue Qi was quite unique.
However, just as he thought this, one of the pigs, as if knowing what would happen to him, ran towards the vegetable field next to the house.
The farmer yelled, "Lao Liu! Da Ya and Er Ya, come and catch the pig! It's gone!"
The vegetable field was fenced off, and the pig was running around in the field, howling but unable to get out.
Xue Qi looked at the pig running around in the vegetable field, rolled up his sleeves and went into the field to help catch the pig.
Cao Feng watched Xue Qi rush into the vegetable field, was stunned for a moment, then took off his coat, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and entered the vegetable field to help catch the pigs.
The sow was chased and screamed loudly, and the vegetables in the vegetable field were trampled beyond recognition by the sow.
Everyone was chasing after her, and the sow stared at Cao Feng and ran straight towards him.
Cao Feng clenched his fists and frowned. In a flash, the moment the sow rushed over, he jumped into the air and sat directly on the sow's back.
He reacted extremely quickly, grabbed the sow's protruding ears, was carried on the sow's back, and rushed out of the vegetable field.
Xue Qi looked at Cao Feng riding the sow, and subconsciously did not go to save him, but took out his mobile phone on the spot, took a short video, and posted it on WeChat Moments!
After she finished posting on her Moments, she heard a "plop" sound not far away, and the sow carrying Cao Feng rushed into the manure pit used to irrigate the vegetable fields.
Xue Qi: “…”
Cao Feng: “…”
Everyone worked together to pull the pig and the man out.
Cao Feng never expected that the "date" he had carefully planned would go on in this way.
He took a bath at the farmer's house and put on the clothes of the farmer's male owner.
When he came out of the bathroom, his eyes met Xue Qi's, who was sitting outside playing with his cell phone.
The man had just taken a shower and his short hair was wet.
He was wearing farmer's clothes, but his trousers looked like cropped trousers and his long sleeves looked like mid-length sleeves.
She is dressed simply, but has a compelling temperament.
The pig had been slaughtered. Xue Qi boiled out the fresh pig blood and, with the fresh garlic sprouts from the farmer's vegetable garden, stir-fried a dish of pork blood with garlic sprouts, stir-fried pork liver with garlic sprouts, and a dish of stir-fried pork shreds with green peppers.
She calculated the time, served Cao Feng some rice, and handed him a pair of chopsticks: "Come and eat, Steward Cao."
Cao Feng walked over without saying a word, took the chopsticks from Xue Qi, and buried his head in his food.
The rice grown by farmers is delicious, and the cooked rice is fragrant.
The garlic sprouts, pig blood and pig liver are very tender and fresh, and go well with rice.
The pig's blood was tender and not scattered. Cao Feng picked it up and mixed it with rice. He finished two bowls of rice in one go. The third bowl of rice was mixed with pig's liver and stir-fried shredded pork, which was full of fragrance.
Fresh pig blood is the hardest to eat, especially the one cooked by Xue Qi, which is so delicious that Cao Feng instantly forgot about the embarrassing incident today.
Xue Qi, whether intentionally or not, said, "Butler Cao, I've avenged you! We've eaten the sow that caused you to fall into the manure pit! Is it delicious?"
Cao Feng: “…”
Suddenly, I felt that the food in the bowl no longer tasted good.
He put the last bite of food into his mouth, and there was an imperceptible distortion in his expression.
Xue Qi laughed and said, "Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, I kid you! The pig had a stress reaction and has been sent back."
Cao Feng: "...I'm starting to worry about my future life."
Xue Qi was puzzled: "What?"
Cao Feng: "I'm afraid you'll bully me for the rest of my life."
Xue Qi: "...Do you need a bottle of dishwashing liquid? I'll give you one! It's super effective at removing grease, you deserve it!"
…
After Xue Qi posted the video of Cao Feng riding a pig on his Moments, it caused a sensation among his friends.
[Tian Xincuicui]: "My grandma said that riding a pig is not a good idea, and it will rain on the day you get married."
[Chen Weiwei]: "Hahaha, what is Cao Zongguan doing? If you don't make a sound, it's fine. If you do, it's going to make a big splash."
[Chu Cheng]: "The man riding a pig, he's dirty, he's not worthy of me 7. 77, I'm going back to China next week, I must make an appointment."
[Sun Fugui]: "Fuck! What the hell is this bastard doing? 77! Don't date him! Cao Feng has evil intentions and ulterior motives! Wait until I come back for a date! Upstairs, let's have a fight!"
[Chu Xing]: "Wow, Uncle Cao Yue can ride a pig? Hahahahaha."
[Sun Shaoqi]: "Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha..."
Cao Yue: Uncle, what are you doing?
【Tang Xiong】: ?????? As long as he is happy.
…
In short, when Cao Feng saw the phone, he had already been socialized to death in the circle of friends.
Before Xue Qi fell asleep, he received another WeChat message from Cao Feng.
【Cao Feng】: "Steward on a pig, good night."
Xue Qi looked at this self-deprecating WeChat message and thought of Cao Feng's serious face, feeling that the contrast was quite cute.
She raised the corners of her lips and replied: "Good night. Pig-riding Butler."
-
Two days later, Taotie started his first eating broadcast in the name of a food broadcast contract signed by Hedgehog Entertainment.
In this eating broadcast, Taotie ate for a full 15 hours, breaking the record again.
Netizens were stunned:
"Fuck, is this a human?"
"Now that the little girl has signed with Hedgehog, will Xue 77 be unable to take her for a physical exam? Will Hedgehog give her a physical exam? I want to watch the physical exam live! I want to know what kind of stomach can do that!"
"This big eater is so scary! The key is that this is a live broadcast, not an edit! There is no way it can be faked!"
"Hedgehog Entertainment 66666, you plagiarized Xue Qi's videos and poached her people. Your family is the most awesome! Even bandits are inferior to you!"
"I'm really disgusted by Hedgehog Entertainment! Ugh."
"Haha, you people are so boring. What's so disgusting about it? Can being disgusting change the fact that Hedgehog Entertainment has high traffic? Let the data speak for itself. The traffic of this little girl's live broadcast was twice that of Xue 77's live broadcast that day! And the number of fans she gained was also twice as much!"
"It's so disgusting. The most disgusting thing is that we know they are disgusting, but we can only watch them make money!"
…
There are all kinds of comments online.
In the eyes of netizens, Hedgehog Entertainment's traffic is several times more than Xue 77's live broadcast traffic, and it will earn more than them.
In fact, they do earn more than Xue 77 does from a live broadcast.
But what gives them a headache is this big eater who eats too much!
In order to appear like a normal person, Xiao Taotie deliberately controlled his food intake during the live broadcast.
But after the live broadcast, she can consume a truckload of food non-stop in front of her agent Wang Yue!
Little Taotie made a lot of money from the live broadcast today, but what worried Wang Yue was that the food Little Taotie ate was out of stock!
The little glutton is now desperate to eat meat!
Wang Yue: "Little Ancestor, if you keep eating like this, how can your body handle it? Why don't you eat more slowly?"
The little Taotie was so hungry that he punched the table, causing it to break.
Seeing this, Wang Yue immediately said, "My dear, the pork you want is out of stock. We've already sent someone to buy it. Wait a minute! I'll call you right away to urge you to get it back."
They purchase food for the internet celebrities every day, and the company has a fixed quantity.
The funds provided by the company are not enough to purchase food for the little Taotie.
She came out of the conference room and quickly called her fifth brother to briefly explain the situation.
Wang Yue was filled with anxiety and said, "Fifth Brother, that little girl is not human. She has eaten up all the pork suppliers we have! Now they are going to raise prices, and we don't have enough funds today. Fifth Brother, please ask the finance department to allocate some more funds to us so we can buy some food for that girl."
When the fifth brother heard this, he frowned and said, "What are you crazy about? How can a little girl eat so much? If you want to swallow the money, find a more reliable reason, right?"
Wang Yue: "It's not Fifth Brother, it's true! If we don't feed that girl, we will be in breach of contract and have to pay 500 million in compensation..."
The fifth brother shouted angrily, "Bullshit! Pay your mother! I'm dead. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kill you!"
Wang Yue: "...It's not Fifth Brother, please listen to me..."
The person on the other end of the line has hung up.
When she looked up, she saw the little glutton with red eyes, already gnawing on raw meat that he had gotten from who knows where! It was bloody and scary to look at!
Wang Yue was frightened, and probably realized what kind of meat this was!
Then he looked at the doghouse beside him.
That was originally the resting place for the fierce dog raised by the fifth brother. The fierce dog was ferocious by nature and even bit people to death.
In the company, from top to bottom, no one dared to provoke that vicious dog.
But he was eaten alive by this girl...?
How is this done?
The little glutton said grimly, "If there's no more food, I'll eat you."
Wang Yue: “…”
I was so scared that my legs went weak.
Now she doesn’t have enough money to purchase food, and she can’t satisfy the little glutton’s appetite, and her fifth brother doesn’t believe her. What should she do?
Are you going to watch the company pay 500 million yuan in compensation to Xiao Taotie?
