After Rella and her family had eaten and drunk their fill and left happily, Ling Miao received a special gift.
"Is this for me?"
Ling Miao looked at the cloth bag in front of her, but couldn't see what was inside.
However, she knew that if it wasn't something valuable to them, they wouldn't have given it to her.
"Yes."
Evan rubbed his hands together and lowered his head in shame.
He was Ling Miao's previous supplier, the stall owner who placed an order for mushrooms at the market.
Not only him, but also many other families were betrothed by Ling Miao in one go.
This brought them an extra source of income.
While it's uncertain whether the situation will remain stable in the long term, the economy has become much more comfortable in the short term.
This touched them deeply.
Today it was the stall owner's turn to deliver his own ingredients and some dried goods.
These beans were collected little by little by several families.
Although the taste wasn't great, it was still enough to fill my stomach.
I just don't know if the boss will mind.
Evan rubbed his hands together, somewhat afraid to look up at his boss.
Compared to what the boss did for them, this was really nothing special.
Ling Miao was somewhat surprised.
The reason they were chosen was twofold: firstly, because their families appeared to be poorer, and secondly, because of the source of ingredients for their restaurant.
The ingredients from these individual vendors may seem plentiful, but they're not exactly stockpiled.
Most importantly, she is confident that she can grow her live stream and that sooner or later people will come to the restaurant to eat.
The initial investment was nothing to her.
Of course, the main reason is that she doesn't lack that money now.
If you can secure your own food supply while helping others, why not?
But Ling Miao didn't expect that even these poor families would go from house to house to collect something to give to her, just to express their gratitude.
Her nose suddenly felt a little sore.
Just as she was about to refuse, she saw the man in front of her with his head down, looking somewhat uneasy.
Ling Miao immediately agreed.
"Thank you, I really like it."
"It's alright, it's alright. As long as you like it, we should be thanking you."
The stall owner rubbed his hands together, looking as if he had unloaded a heavy burden, and a smile appeared on his dark face.
"Then I'll be going now."
"etc"
Ling Miao tried to call him back, but turned and went into the kitchen.
"This is what was left over from this morning."
She wrapped up the three baskets of crystal dumplings left over from the morning and handed them to the other person.
Seeing the panicked look on the other person's face, he paused and explained, "These are what's left over from before. The customers won't buy them anymore, so you'll just have to throw them away if you don't want them."
Evan paused, looking at the dumplings in the transparent box in front of him, and hesitated.
Inside the transparent box, the delicate and adorable crystal dumplings look more like works of art than food.
Even though it's cold now, Evan can still smell the fragrance emanating from it through the box.
He hesitated for a moment, then slowly stretched out his tucked-in hand.
"Thank you, boss."
"You're welcome." Ling Miao's smile softened even more as she saw him take the box. "It's all mutually beneficial."
Evan kept his head down and didn't say anything.
Where is the mutual benefit? Without her, these families would have starved to death long ago.
After seeing Evan off, Ling Miao opened the cloth bag, revealing the round, yellow beans inside.
It turned out to be soybeans.
Ling Miao reached out and grabbed a handful of soybeans. The quality of the soybeans wasn't very good; some were round, but most were shriveled and not plump.
Ling Miao looked at the soybeans in front of her and suddenly had an idea.
She turned on the live stream mode, logged into the backend of her StarNet account, and posted a message.
Delicious Restaurant: [Tomorrow's dish: How to eat soybeans. 5 AM]
Those who follow Ling Miao received the news immediately.
Soybeans?
What is that?
[It's that round, yellow seed.] (Attached image.)
[So this is what it looks like. I've seen it in StarCraft, but I never paid attention.]
That stuff doesn't taste good; it has a beany smell.
I think all seed-based foods are like that.
Am I the only one interested in how to eat soybeans?
The comments section was filled with replies, and more and more people began to discuss how to eat soybeans, which attracted a lot of onlookers.
Gradually, some people started paying attention to tomorrow's live broadcast.
Ling Miao soaked the soybeans, ready to start cooking first thing tomorrow morning.
Susan was a little curious, but seeing Ling Miao's mysterious demeanor, she didn't ask, only feeling even more excited.
"Hey, hey, the store manager sent out a notification!"
Avril and her two companions huddled together, watching the notification on the screen in front of them to follow the streamer, and tears welled up in their eyes.
The crystal dumplings weren't served hot, so when they started the live stream, the store manager ended the broadcast before they could even take a bite.
The three people in the shop didn't realize it until they returned to school and discovered how tough their lives had been.
Every day it's just nutrient solution. Even though there's a canteen that provides meals, the taste is nowhere near as good as what the manager makes!
Before I had tasted the food made by the shop owner, I could still fool myself, but now, I can't fool myself anymore.
Avril closed her eyes in anguish, clenching her fists: "I must make it by tomorrow morning!"
The two people beside him nodded in deep agreement.
The food at school is absolutely inedible!
The siblings Xiong Yichen and Xiong Yixi waited for a long time during the last live stream, but never received a reply from the streamer, leaving them extremely disappointed.
