Just like Liu Ben's physical store, Aben's Produce Store, the online store faced some initial skepticism. However, the product quality was guaranteed, and rumors were not a problem. Soon, thanks to the enthusiastic support from the livestream audience, the online store's business took off and became a thriving business.
The money in Liu Ben's account was increasing. Every day, his computer and mobile phone would make ding-dong sounds, which were notification sounds of deposited funds.
But Liu Ben had no time to care about these things, because after three months, the first batch of white jade radish planted in the village finally began to mature!
"It takes a lot of time for people outside to grow radishes, so it's better to have space." Liu Ben can harvest a batch of radishes every day, while it takes three months for people in the village to grow them.
[Yes, you should know that the space given by this system is very special! ]
Liu Ben nodded. "It's not ordinary, but even if I were an orc, if the current business doubled, I wouldn't be able to handle it in the space."
It would be better to stop here and let the villagers participate and make some money for themselves.
[It's up to you, meow, but you have to remember the 50,000 acres!]
"Don't worry, I'll remember it."
Liu Zhu's family, who was the first in the village to harvest radishes, was full of anticipation, and those who had not yet started harvesting also came to join in the fun, wanting to see how much money this first family could make.
Liu Zhu and his family rushed to the radish field early in the morning with hoes and baskets.
Liu Zhu's family was the first to plant radishes. At the time, Liu Ben wasn't very experienced in collecting seeds. Liu Zhu suggested planting about a hundred. Unsure how many seeds he needed, Liu Ben gave him a few hundred, figuring they would sprout. Unexpectedly, the white jade radish seeds were surprisingly potent, sprouting over two hundred. Although Liu Ben had warned them that this type of radish would be difficult to harvest, the sprouts had already sprouted. After all, they were radishes that could sell for 10 yuan per pound in the future, so Liu Zhu's family couldn't bear to throw them away, so they planted them all.
Nowadays, more than two hundred white and plump white jade radishes have successfully grown in Liu Zhu’s radish field.
"The ground is so dry, didn't you water it?"
Many people gathered around Liu Zhu's house. Some villagers who did not grow white jade vines looked at the dry land in surprise.
"Hey, you don't know, this is the strange thing about this variety. We water it every day, and the water has seeped into the soil, but the soil is getting harder day by day." Other people who planted white jade vines explained to Liu Zhu.
"There's also this matter..."
Liu Zhu also asked Liu Ben in confusion: "How do we collect this?"
Liu Ben: "Didn't I tell you? Just use a hoe and dig hard around the ground. Don't dig directly around the edges of the radish, or it will rot easily."
Liu Zhu and his friends were ordinary people, and it was a bit difficult for them to work on such hard soil. Liu Zhu's father stepped forward first and dug in the soil far away from the radish with a hoe. At that time, he felt a little pain in his hand, and the soil under the hoe only cracked into a small gap.
"Wow!" The villagers started discussing again: "This land is so hard, my God..."
"Bang bang, it's so difficult to grow!"
Liu Zhu's father started to work, and Liu Zhu didn't wait any longer. He found another direction and helped dig radishes.
Liu Ben could dig one with just one hoe. Although Liu Zhu was a little weaker than Liu Ben, he was also someone who often did farm work. With two people working together, soon a radish was carefully dug out.
Liu Zhu and the others were very careful, but even after washing the dust off the surface of the radish, there were still a few slight scratches on it.
Liu Zhu looked at it worriedly and asked Liu Ben, "Is this okay?"
Liu Ben touched it and nodded: "It's not damaged, it can be stored."
Liu Ben discovered that the skin of the white jade radish outside the space was thicker than that inside. They were about the same size, but their shape and color weren't as good. This was normal; the system always emphasized that Liu Ben had to plant 50,000 mu of seeds for each commodity to obtain seeds that could be grown perfectly and stably outside for countless generations.
Liu Ben honestly thought 50,000 mu was nothing. For others, it might be an impossible task in a lifetime. But Liu Ben wasn't boasting. Even if he cultivated leisurely, spending a little time each day, he could complete the task within 30 years. Moreover, Liu Ben was now very serious about farming, like he had been given a shot of chicken blood. His farming speed was increasing rapidly. So within 20 years, or even 15 years, Liu Ben would definitely complete the system task.
Having said that, the white radish grown in the space can be cut directly into strips and used to make pickled radish, but the skin of the white radish outside the space is too thick, so it may not be suitable.
Then make another pickled radish skin, which would be delicious too, Liu Ben thought with ease.
As for not wanting the peeled skin, that is impossible. Liu Ben has to pay for it. It is not the rootless white jade vine that Liu Ben planted in the space.
Liu Zhu's family worked very hard to dig radishes. At first, the villagers would watch for a while and then disperse. But on this day, Liu Zhu's family was digging radishes silently, and the villagers would still come over from time to time to take a look at his progress.
Liu Ben only went to take a look at it at the beginning. He asked Liu Zhu and others to dig and wash the trees before calling him over to weigh them. Then he called out to the villagers and asked everyone to plant trees together.
Villagers: "? Plant trees? What trees?"
Liu Ben led dozens of sturdy, middle-aged villagers to a barren hilltop near the village entrance. There, neatly planted, was a large row of osmanthus pines, each more than ten to twenty meters tall, a truly spectacular sight.
"Huh? When was it put here?" The villagers wondered, as they hadn't seen it last night.
Liu Ben: "They had a truck tow it here in the early morning. The big trucks work at night."
"Yes, I have done that too. Those oversized trucks are not allowed on the road during the day." Some villagers echoed.
"So that's how it is." The simple and honest villagers all nodded in belief.
Liu Ben: "I'll mark the location, you guys plant it."
Liu Ben has been recruiting villagers to do a lot of work during this period, such as building factories, moving things, etc. The wages are very uniform, and everyone started working without Liu Ben saying anything.
The tall osmanthus pine trees are quite heavy, so they require several people to carry. The pits they need to dig are also quite large, and an excavator can't be used on such uneven terrain, so the manual labor required is very demanding. But if you can earn some money before the New Year, you can also buy more New Year's goods and give out red envelopes to the younger generation. Why not?
The number of trees that people can plant in a day is not large, but it is not a small number either. Although the progress is slow, it is always accumulating bit by bit.
Liu Ben also considered the slow progress, so he didn't bring in a large number of trees at once. Instead, he delivered them one by one.
Some villagers were curious: "How did they transport such a tall tree here?"
Another villager who was digging a hole answered him breathlessly: "It must have been delivered by truck!"
"The truck is only about four meters long, and this tree is... about ten or twenty meters long, right?"
"Just like we do," said a villager who was holding a tree. "We put the tree in the back of a truck and have a few people stand inside to hold it."
Liu Ben: "...No, we found a long trailer and a crane."
They were really imaginative. They put it in the bucket with several people supporting it, so there was no chance of leaving any of the electric wires and bridge piers in the middle.
"oh!"
Villager: "It's new! We've never seen a long trailer before!"
"Yes, the longest one I've ever seen is a truck, its bed is over 9 meters long!"
"Wow, the longest one I've ever seen is Chengzi's truck."
"Why don't we come over in the early morning to take a look?"
"Okay, okay!"
Liu Ben: ...
Liu Ben didn't expect that the villagers were so fond of joining in the fun, which made him a little confused.
While watching the villagers working hard, Liu Ben's brain was working at full speed, thinking about how to deal with this situation.
"System, system, what's going on? Why can't you automatically rationalize the transportation problem like other systems?"
[This system has already given the host a reasonable research setup. Can't you use your little brain for the rest?]
Stinky cat! Liu Ben thought, this is such a rip-off.
Liu Ben walked aside and started searching for trailer transportation on his phone...
Tsk.
After the osmanthus pine was planted, the villagers who were tired after a day of planting trees dispersed and went back to their homes to rest. However, other villagers who had nothing to do came one after another to see the newly planted trees at the entrance of the village.
The trunk of the osmanthus pine is white with a yellowish tint, and its leaves are golden yellow. From a distance, it looks a bit like the ginkgo tree. However, the leaves of the ginkgo tree are fan-shaped, and their leaves change from green to yellow with the seasons. In the cold winter, the leaves of the ginkgo tree are almost completely lost.
The essence of the osmanthus pine is a pine tree, which is an evergreen tree. However, because the leaves of the osmanthus pine are naturally yellow, it has become an evergreen tree. The leaves of the osmanthus pine are similar to pine needles, growing in clusters and denser than those of ordinary pine trees. So it seems that the tree is not growing leaves, but large clusters of golden flowers.
"What kind of tree is this? It's so beautiful!"
"Indeed, is this the greening the village has done by the clan leader?"
"No, it's A-Ben who has leased the entire mountain and plans to plant this kind of tree all over it. He says it will grow pine nuts."
"So this is a pine tree! Isn't it beautiful?"
"Hey, I didn't think much of those barren mountains before, but now when I compare them, the place where the golden tree is planted is much more beautiful. Put the two together, they look like a pheasant and a phoenix."
"Indeed, I hope the planting can be quick. When my son and daughter come back during the Chinese New Year, they can see the mountains covered in golden color. How wonderful!"
The villagers were discussing the matter enthusiastically, and Liu Ben was also very satisfied. He had originally thought that the trunks of the osmanthus pine trees below 10 meters were all bare and would look thin, but because the height difference of the mountain was quite large, the crowns of the trees in front could just cover the trunks of the trees behind, and the trunks in the front were not very ugly, but appeared to be clean as a whole. When they were lined up like this, the appearance was still very good.
In the evening, when it was almost time for dinner, Liu Zhu's family finally harvested all the radishes.
The villagers heard the news faster than Liu Ben. When Liu Ben arrived at Liu Zhu's house, many people were already crowded there watching the fun.
"Aben is here, let him in!"
"Hurry up! Let's see how much money the Zhuzi family made this time?"
The villagers made way for them, and only then were Liu Ben, Liu Yibiao and the others able to walk in from outside the crowd.
"Everything has been cleaned." Liu Zhu said to Liu Ben with a smile, and the other people in his family also looked at Liu Ben expectantly.
Liu Ben called someone and dragged in the scale he had brought with him.
The white jade radish is round, so it is wrapped in a net bag when weighing. Liu Ben can see at a glance that each of these white jade radishes is about 7 to 9 pounds. Moreover, Liu Zhu's family is very honest. Each radish is washed and wiped clean, so there is no water droplets or dirt on it.
Liu Ben's gaze passed over the shaking hands of Liu Zhu and the others placed by their legs, and looked at the scale that his grandfather had adjusted.
"This bag weighs 96.8 kilograms. Remember this."
"This bag weighs 83.3 kilograms. Remember."
Every time a bag was weighed, Liu Ben would record it on his mobile phone. The villagers nearby also kept it in mind, wanting to know how much money Liu Zhu's family could make this time.
Liu Yibiao weighed the packed radishes bag by bag, and finally added up the numbers on his mobile phone.
"That's 1864.9 kilograms in total, and at 10 yuan per kilogram, that makes 18,649 yuan."
"Wow!"
“I’ve made so much money!”
The villagers were all excited, some were envious, some were expectant, and some were regretful.
"Hey, I've planted a lot too, so I can make some money later."
"It's a pity that I didn't come back then, otherwise I could have planted it too."
"I would have planted it earlier. Look, if I just water it every day and put in a little effort at the end, I can make 18,000 yuan!"
"I'll plant radishes next year too. This year there's no man at home, so digging radishes is a bit tiring."
That's right. It was cold in winter and everyone's hands were stiff. The people in Liu Zhu's family had only been digging radishes for a whole day, but now everyone had a lot of blisters on their hands. Some people's knuckles were cracked, and blood was flowing out, soaking into the broken blisters.
"Should I transfer money to you?"
"Just transfer it to Zhuzi." Zhuzi's father said with a smile.
"Okay." Liu Ben scanned Zhuzi's payment code, rounded it up to an even number, and transferred 18,650 to Zhuzi.
After transferring the money, Liu Ben loaded the radishes into the car bag by bag. Liu Zhujia wanted to help load them, but Liu Ben refused.
"You still have blisters on your hands, be careful."
"Hey," Zhuzi's father glanced at the blisters on his hands, shook his hands, and said nonchalantly, "It's just that I haven't been farming as much recently. When I was young, this was nothing."
"Yes, it will grow well in a few days." Zhuzi's mother also said with a smile. Their family was busy for only one day. They usually watered the plants diligently and earned nearly 20,000 yuan. A little bit of bubbles was nothing.
Liu Ben nodded, and without further greeting to delay the other person's dinner, he drove away.
After he left, Liu Zhu asked his mother, "What are we having for dinner tonight?"
"Just make something to eat. My hands are shaking so much that I don't have the energy to cook."
"Well, there are a few steamed buns in the refrigerator."
"Come to my house and have a meal," said Liu Zhu's neighbor. "I knew you wouldn't have the energy to cook today, so I left some food for you."
"I'm so sorry..."
"Don't be polite, we're old neighbors. Hehe, well, my house is closing soon, so when the time comes, can I..."
"When the time comes, you can come to my house for dinner!"
"Okay! Let's go eat!"
————
Gou Wen looked at himself in the mirror. The age spots and wrinkles on his face had faded a lot, and he seemed to be ten years younger, but his brows were still furrowed, and he didn't seem happy at all.
"Honey, the skincare products you brought back are so good! My skin has improved so much!" His wife Debra touched her face, looked at herself in the handheld mirror, and said with satisfaction, "I didn't expect your country has such good things."
"But this Guoyan Youpin is really stupid. The product has such good effects. If I were the boss, I would definitely sell it for millions or tens of millions, and those senior executives would have to come and beg me to sell it!"
"Those useless civilians should use the same useless skin care products as them. The owner of Guoyan Youpin actually puts some of her products in shopping malls and even online stores for those poor people to buy... Well, maybe she is Catholic." Debra analyzed to herself.
"Debra, the current situation is that their product has taken over our market." Gou Wen finally spoke, but his tone was not good.
Debra looked up at her husband and said, "In that case, we should get their formula and turn it into our own product."
"No, Debra, you don't know how big the You family is in our country. When it comes to business, they are the local tyrants, and we can't compete with them." Gou Wen shook his head.
"Let's try it though." Debra was obviously braver than Gou Wen.
Debra has no sense of belonging to this country. If she gets that great formula, she can leave here, return to her own country, and then use this formula to make a lot of money without having to care about what the You family here does.
But Gou Wen disagreed. From his perspective, if he went to Debra's country, it would be the Smith family's home turf. Even if he was still the nominal head of the family, his status would always be lower than Debra's. As a traditional male chauvinist, Gou Wen could not accept this outcome, which was the only reason he wanted to return to this country.
As for Gou Qi, to be honest, Gou Wen, a profit-oriented person, had long since abandoned his wife and her son who had never received careful education. He brought Gou Qi back just to use him as a pawn in his fight against Debra's family status.
Although Gou Qi is just an ordinary person, he can still stimulate crisis among Gou Wen and Debra's son and daughter, causing them to get closer to Gou Wen in order to compete for status.
It has to be said that Gou Qi's scumbag nature was indeed inherited from his father.
Gou Wen finally said, "I'll ask someone about it first, and then we'll decide whether to do it or not."
Debra shrugged, dismissing his caution.
In the early morning, several bored villagers came to the entrance of the village and saw a large trailer slowly approaching. The trailer's deck was very long, 20 meters long, which was as long as several train carriages. There were several trees lying upside down on the deck. Liu Ben followed slowly on his motorcycle. When they arrived at the entrance of the village, the trailer stopped. Several men got off the car and moved the trees off the car according to Liu Ben's instructions.
Several villagers paid no attention to the tree. They had seen it during the day, and the trailer was now a rare sight.
"Click!" "Click, click!" The villagers took out their mobile phones to take pictures of the trailer. Liu Ben was speechless, but he actually took a lot of pictures along the way, just to keep evidence to show that his trees were really towed here by a trailer.
In fact, he ran to a deserted place a few kilometers away, took the tree out of the space, and then called a tow truck. The tow truck rental fee was very expensive, but it was nothing for Liu Ben. The main thing was that it was a bit troublesome. He hoped that the villagers would not be so curious every day.
"It's really strange that there's such a long trailer. How long does it take to tow it from here?"
Liu Ben improvised: "It took a long time, and we had to change trailers several times along the way."
"What a hassle!" The villagers looked at it, took pictures, and then went back yawning with satisfaction.
"Let's go, let's go back to sleep. We still have to plant trees tomorrow."
Liu Ben also breathed a sigh of relief. He paid the towing driver, looked at the tree, and went back to sleep. With such a big tree, there was no need to worry about others stealing it. If a tow truck was used, it would make quite a noise, so Liu Ben was very relieved.
A week later—
"Hello everyone, I'm the anchor, Ah Niu. Our village has a bumper radish harvest today. I'm going to take you to see it! It's too cold, so I'm going to have hot pot after we come back."
Today, Liu Ben contacted several families whose radishes could be harvested in advance. They had harvested most of the white jade radishes in the field the day before, but there were still a few left, which they would dig up when Liu Ben came to live broadcast. This seemed like a staged photo, but it was mainly to make the live broadcast content more interesting and organized, which was fine.
Liu Ben was holding a newly purchased mobile phone stand, which allowed him to capture a better view of himself during this live broadcast.
The screen was filled with comments praising the host for being so handsome today and having a great figure.
Practice makes perfect. Liu Ben has already done a few live streams and is no longer a newbie. He watched the road ahead while interacting with his audience on his phone: "Yes, this time I'm really going to sell something. Um, I wasn't planning on selling any other dishes."
"After all, it's such an expensive item. I didn't expect anyone would buy it online," Liu Ben said as he walked. "In my shop, you can order a ready-made dish for a few dozen yuan to try before deciding whether to sell it. But online, well... I didn't expect the audience to support me so much."
The audience was very proud and said that they had sharp eyes.
Then someone who had won pine nuts before asked why there were no pine nuts in the online store, as pine nuts were so delicious!
Liu Ben: "Pine nuts, the product name is Guixiang pine nuts. They are not available online because they are too expensive. In fact, I already have them in my physical store."
Before he could reply, the locals in the barrage of comments rushed to answer.
Liu Ben looked at the comments and smiled. "Yes, Guixiang pine nuts are very expensive, 800 yuan per pound. Because of the high price, few people buy them in the store. I want to wait and see the online store for a few days to see how people's purchasing power is. Now it seems that the online store's sales are really good. How about this, I'll ask customer service to put both pine nuts and pickled radish on the shelves today. Customer service, wait for my signal!"
Ding Xue had been watching the live broadcast today and immediately replied "got it" in the barrage.
Liu Ben took big steps and soon arrived at the house they had agreed to meet.
In Liu Ben's camera, the family was digging radishes in the radish field. When they saw Liu Ben wearing a strange "headgear", they just looked at him curiously for a few more times and then continued to dig hard with their heads down.
"White jade radish grows in a special environment, so it's difficult to dig. There's a reason why it's expensive. But the white jade radish we grow in our village isn't as good as the ones we get directly from the research institute, so it's cheaper," Liu Ben said. "We'll make all of it into pickled radish and sell it to everyone."
"Oh, yes. The radishes grown in the village have thicker skins than the ones from the research institute, so we'll also have a product called pickled radish skins."
Liu Ben asked someone to help him hold his cell phone. He walked over and took a hoe from someone. He dug the hoe deep into the soil and turned it over again. A large area of hardened soil on the left side of Bai Yuluo was dug up. With another hoe, the soil on the right side was also turned over. Liu Ben put down the hoe, stretched out his hands, and easily dug out the radish.
It takes others a long time to dig out radishes, but Liu Ben can do it in just two strokes. The other villagers who are also farmers can't help but marvel at it, not to mention the audience in the live broadcast room.
You Ying was watching Liu Ben's live broadcast at home at this time. In his words, he was there to support Liu Ben. Although Liu Ben is very popular now, he doesn't need to go to the homepage specifically, the live broadcast room is very lively.
Not to mention, the bull head worn by Liu Ben is very interesting. It is not as stiff as ordinary headgear. It looks like a real minotaur. All the expressions and movements are very smooth and natural.
Even if it looks weird at first glance, the more you look at it, the more you like it. The long, curled eyelashes, the big, bright black eyes, the trembling furry ears, the beautifully sculpted neck... Well, this has nothing to do with the bull's head, this is what Liu Ben originally had.
You Ying knocked his head and thought, "Don't always look at people, you should look at the content of the live broadcast!" You Ying thought, his eyes wandering, but he always "inadvertently" passed over the full but not exaggerated muscles on Liu Ben's forearms exposed when he was hoeing the ground.
At this time, many viewers who were watching Liu Ben digging radishes said in the barrage that Liu Ben was very strong. You Ying deeply agreed with this. Liu Ben was just stronger than ordinary people and could move 200 kilograms of rice at a time.
After a while, all the radishes were dug out. Under the gaze of all the spectators, the family carefully washed the dug radishes, wiped the moisture with paper towels, put them into net bags, and took them to be weighed.
In the end, the total weight of the radishes grown by this family was 1,263.2 kilograms. Liu Ben took out the mobile phone that was broadcasting live, scanned the code and paid 12,632 yuan.
Audience: "Rounded off, I just paid 12,632 yuan."
Liu Ben saw it, laughed and said, "Yes! I'm paying for it now, but I'll sell it to you later, so you'll pay for it."
When the camera zoomed in, it swept over the hands of the villagers opposite who were holding their mobile phones to scan the code for Liu Ben. The hands were covered with calluses, and some places still had blisters.
The audience lamented that it was not easy to make this money.
As Liu Ben was leaving, the villagers who had made money stopped him and enthusiastically handed him a fish. The fish's mouth was tied with a rope, and the fish's body was still alive and kicking.
Liu Ben: "You're too polite..."
"Take it. This is a gift from my eldest brother from my mother's side. It's a clean fish raised at home!" said the hostess.
Liu Ben had no choice. The villagers were simple and honest. If he didn't accept the money, they might think that he was making money and was looking down on their products.
Liu Ben carried the fish and his phone to another place. This place grew similar crops to the previous one, and Liu Ben paid a little over 13,000 yuan. The family was also very polite and gave Liu Ben a large bag of various fruits and vegetables. Liu Ben couldn't refuse, and the family asked, "You accepted the previous one's, why not mine?" Liu Ben had no choice but to accept them too.
As Liu Ben walked along, he received various gifts from various households. The most common ones were vegetables grown by the villagers, and there were also various cooked foods and snacks bought from the town. The more Liu Ben walked, the more things he had in his hands. Although Liu Yibiao and the other Liu family members followed Liu Ben, Liu Ben had to live broadcast, so he walked alone in front. Liu Yibiao and his family followed behind in Chengzi's car. They did not help Liu Ben with the things, but looked at him through the car window with amusement.
Liu Ben was quite strong, so carrying so much didn't seem heavy at all. He was just a little amused. The last family had the most crops, but they were also large, so they weren't too overwhelmed. This time, Liu Ben paid over 20,000 yuan, almost 30,000 yuan, which made the family very happy. When Liu Ben left, they generously gave him a fat hen and a nice, firm pork loin.
Afterwards, the others drove the radishes to the pickled radish factory, while Liu Ben walked back alone carrying so many heavy things.
The audience was so happy that they kept commenting "Hahaha" and "23333" in the comments. Some viewers even teased Liu Ben: "No wonder you said you'd go back to eat hot pot after watching the radish. That's how the ingredients came from [dog head]"
Although Liu Ben was holding something in one hand, he was still able to hold his mobile phone in the other hand and broadcast live freely.
Liu Ben laughed: "The villagers in our village are very enthusiastic, there is nothing we can do."
As soon as Liu Ben returned home and put down the things, Wang Fengjing quickly took over. While talking to the audience, Liu Ben prepared the hot pot base. The ingredients were actually not difficult to prepare. The vegetables were washed and then sliced or picked into pieces. The same was true for meat and fish. The pork slices cut by Liu Ben with a knife were very thin and good-looking, and the meat looked delicious at first glance.
Some viewers said that meat slices or beef slices are more delicious. Liu Ben replied that he does not eat beef, but his family does, so the hot pot will be eaten separately later and he will eat a whole pot by himself.
After a while, Liu Ben sat down in his room, adjusted the mobile phone on the table, and then waved his hand. He could see that a pot of boiling water was already placed on the table, surrounded by various ingredients. There was no room on the table, and there were many shelves piled up next to it, which were also full of various ingredients.
Liu Ben: "Now I am going to eat."
The audience responded one after another, saying that they had already picked up takeout, spicy hot pot, instant noodles... and could eat together now!
Bright red peppers roll in the orange-red oil, star anise and cumin dot the hot waves, and small peppercorns hide themselves among the swaying and floating ingredients, waiting to be picked up by a diner and put into his mouth, and then make people numb unexpectedly.
"First, blanch the vegetables. My favorite hot pot dish is radish, and radish is also very good," said Liu Ben, putting the white jade radish that had just been pulled out of the soil and now cut into slices into the pot, and also added some torn radish leaves.
The radish needs to be cooked for a longer time, but the radish can be eaten raw, so now you just need to blanch it.
"Crunch." Liu Ben chewed the vegetable leaves with a crunching sound, and it was obvious that he was eating with great relish.
"Add some meat. These are freshly cut pork slices and chicken slices. They are very fresh." Liu Ben put them all into the hot pot.
At this time, Avocado pushed open the door by himself and appeared in the camera, then turned around and waited for its little friends - the cats to follow in. Finally, it closed the door skillfully, strolled to Liu Ben, looked up at the dishes on the table, tilted its head to look at Liu Ben, and then looked at the dishes again.
Its expression is like saying: Oh my good friend, what delicious food are you eating?
Avocado is a free cow. When no one plays with it, it will go out to play by itself. It has a positioning collar on its neck, so Liu Ben can see its movements on his mobile phone and is not afraid of it getting lost.
However, everyone is more accustomed to calling it directly. When it is time for dinner, just stand at the door and shout "Avocado". No matter where it is, it will look up and moo to indicate that it heard it, and then quickly run back with its tail wagging to eat.
Liu Ben took a round dish for Avocado, and Avocado began to eat it with a crunching sound. Before Liu Ben withdrew his hand, he touched a handful of Avocado's hair.
The kittens smelled the aroma from the hot pot and started to meow and circle around the corner of the table. When they found that the table legs were difficult to climb, they started from the legs and suddenly jumped onto the avocado's back. Then they crawled out from the thick fur in a crooked way and meowed at Liu Ben. Their meows were still a little tender.
Liu Ben touched the kitten, but still couldn't give them hot pot.
The audience was screaming as they watched. They envied Liu Ben for being able to touch the cute avocado and kitten, and they also envied Avocado for being fed by the host and eating such an expensive dish.
Liu Ben: "Avocados are very greedy. They want to eat this and that. If you don't give them food, they will feel wronged."
Eating hot pot in winter is a very happy thing. Liu Ben chatted with the audience while eating and answered their questions.
"This headgear of mine? You can eat with it. I am eating it now, not pretending to eat. The structure inside is very complicated." Liu Ben said, but he could not open his mouth to show the audience, because there is a difference between the headgear and his own mouth. If he opened his mouth wide to show the audience, his mouth would be really exposed.
As they were talking, an audience member suddenly mentioned the sensational "Minotaur" incident that happened more than 20 days ago.
Audience: "Come to think of it, this incident happened in the city where the anchor is located. Could the anchor be the Minotaur?"
You Ying, who was watching the live broadcast and eating, also saw this barrage. He slowed down his eating and wanted to see what Liu Ben had to say.
Liu Ben seemed a little surprised. He thought for a moment before smiling and saying, "Do you think I look like him?"
Liu Ben did some muscle-flexing moves: "Hey, ha, look, I'm in great shape, so that unsung hero is me!"
Audience: “But you’re not that tall…”
Liu Ben: "Hahaha, so that's not me. I was just kidding. My headgear is made to look like an ordinary cow, the kind you see a lot in the village. It's just a coincidence."
He was casually joking, but some discordant voices appeared in the comment section.
New Viewer 1: "Is the anchor trying to capitalize on the popularity of that unknown hero and deliberately pretending to be him to create hype?"
Old viewer 1: "What the hell is that? The anchor started live streaming like this, before the Minotaur incident happened!"
A new audience member 2: "You can't compare with others at all. They are warriors and heroes, and you are just a salesman."
Old audience 2: "I'm speechless. No one wants to compete with him!"
New Viewer 3: "The host's muscles are not as good as the Minotaur's. He must have eaten too much eggs. He has no strength at all."
Old viewer 3: "The anchor's muscles are the best! They look great!"
A new audience member 4: "Only men know what muscles are best"

{Fujoshi Alliance: So sweet!!!}
{Who promised you innocence: Let’s be together!}
Liu Ben's frown relaxed, he coughed twice, and said seriously, "Thank you for the gift, boss. I'm sorry for the expense."
A large number of "Ah~~" flashed across the barrage.
Liu Ben scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Those black guys just now must have been invited by someone. It's okay, let's continue eating hot pot."
Liu Ben picked up the radish that had been cooked soft and took a bite. The juice in the radish overflowed. Liu Ben slurped it up and took it all into his mouth without dropping a drop.
Raw white jade radish is crispy, sweet and juicy, while cooked white jade radish is soft, glutinous and plump, melting in the mouth. After being soaked in soup, it becomes as transparent as jade, which is very appetizing.
Liu Ben has a big appetite, and his appetite got even better after eating the white jade radish. He chatted with the audience while gobbling up all the dishes on the table.
"This meat is delicious," Liu Ben said as he picked up several pieces of chicken with his chopsticks, coated them with chili sauce, and put them in his mouth. "Meat cooked in hot pot is so fragrant and tender."
After finishing the food on the table, Liu Ben turned around and moved the other dishes on the shelf to the table.
The audience complained that they were already full, but the anchor could still eat.
