Chapter 349 You, Cherry, hand it over to the Empire!
The flour for making Aiwowow needs to be steamed first, which will make the flour drier. Therefore, after it cools down, you need to use a rolling pin to roll the flour into small pieces.
Mixing the sugar filling, wrapping the filling, step by step, Ye Jiaojiao was busy with the work in her hands with great concentration.
Because she didn't prepare hawthorn cake in advance to decorate the Aiwowowo, Ye Jiaojiao found something that could be used as a substitute, cherries.
When planting on the planet, Ye Jiaojiao transplanted 80% of the fruit trees and seeds in the mustard seed space, leaving only a small part in the space.
The cherries here are small, some are half red and half yellow, and some are pure red. They have an almond aroma and are sour and sweet.
In the live broadcast room, the audience's attention was attracted after the donkey rolls were put on the shelves. Some waited patiently, while others couldn't wait to try them first. Those who waited patiently were the first to notice Ye Jiaojiao's actions.
Live broadcast room comment area——
[Ms. Anchor, is that a wild fruit in your hand?]
[It's red, and looks like it will be delicious.]
There are quite a lot of these small fruits in the wild area. They are generally not edible directly and need to be processed before being put into the mouth. I have never seen the ones in the hands of the streamer, but I still recommend not eating them.
【I guess it's to mash the fruit for seasoning?】
[Yes, probably.]
In interstellar space, nutritious fruits like bananas, apples, peaches, and durian only exist in ancient Chinese historical documents. The fruits that the people of the empire come into contact with are mostly wild fruits that grow naturally in the wild areas.
Some of those wild fruits are poisonous, while others are non-toxic. The only thing they have in common is that they all taste very sour and astringent, comparable to the stickiness of the nutrient solution. In addition, after testing, they are found to contain no energy, making them useless.
The Imperial Academy of Agricultural Sciences was tasked with cultivating and restoring ancient Chinese fruits. Probably only some high-ranking officials and upper-class families in the empire had seen the few fruits that had been successfully reproduced, and those fruits were very shriveled.
At this moment, in the live broadcast room, when Ye Jiaojiao took out ten small cherries from the space and put them on a plate, everyone thought that these were wild fruits grown in the wild area.
Ye Jiaojiao had originally planned to gradually promote the fruit. With the previous example of peaches appearing on the black market, Ye Jiaojiao decided to make a splash. "This is called a cherry. It's very nutritious and tastes great. I stumbled upon a few of them at an auction. I plan to chop them into small pieces and use them as a garnish on the Aiwo Wo as a replacement for the hawthorn cake. It's also a way to share this new find with everyone."
Without emphasizing that this was a fruit that the Imperial Academy of Agricultural Sciences had not yet replicated, Ye Jiaojiao only said that it was edible and that she had obtained it by chance. At first glance, she seemed to have completely absolved herself of her own behavior. However, things still went a little wrong.
[Cherries? Can they really be eaten? ? ?]
[Aren't edible fruits actually fruits? Host, please don't scare us! We wouldn't dare eat fruit if it were real.]
[Host, are you getting carried away? You're even daring to eat fruit! I can already sense you're about to go viral and get called in for a talk. Tsk tsk!]
[No, no, I don't dare eat it. I'm afraid of being caught by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences!]
[In the past hundred years, there have been almost no edible fruits containing energy in the Empire. If the host is not joking, I suggest you hand them over to the Empire.]
Hand it over to the empire?
Unlike what Ye Jiaojiao expected, the first comments that popped up after hearing what she said were somewhat resistant to Cherry, and some people even blamed her.
Let’s not talk about why they have to be handed over to the empire. A batch of peaches have clearly already flowed out of the black market. Did those people hand them over to the empire?
Besides, both A Ming and Marshal Nicolus encouraged her to do it boldly.
Ye Jiaojiao comes from the cultivation continent where the strong prey on the weak. She doesn't have the concept of doing everything for the empire. She transplanted the fruit trees in the space to the planting planet and planned to promote it through live broadcasts in order to enrich everyone's meals. She can also study the cafeteria dishes. If these people say so, does that mean that no matter what good things someone has, they have to hand them over to the empire?
Ye Jiaojiao didn't like this statement from the bottom of her heart.
She can publish rare recipes for free, she can grow a large amount of fruits to promote them, she can be responsible if she promises the system that she will try her best to fill the gap in interstellar food culture, but she will not accept coercion or moral kidnapping.
Ye Jiaojiao's expression darkened visibly. She glanced at the comments section and said calmly, "So everyone doesn't want to taste this cherry? Okay, I get it."
After saying that, Ye Jiaojiao pushed the plate and cherries aside, then took out some red dates from the locker, chopped them up, and put them on the Ai Wo Wo. Her movements were smooth and fluid, as if nothing had happened.
For a moment, those who were clamoring for her to hand over the cherries to the empire were dumbfounded, and some who remained quiet throughout, not wanting to cause trouble, and were preparing to eat the cherries quietly were even dumber.
What about the bright red cherries?
Aren’t you going to give them food?
Live broadcast room comment area——
[That. Anchor? What are you doing?]
[Ahem, miss, isn't that Aiwowo supposed to be garnished with cherry flakes? Have you changed your mind again? I'm just asking.]
[Anchor!!! What's wrong with you!!! Don't do this!!!]
[Sorry, Miss Anchor, I didn't say anything just now because I was afraid of causing trouble. But deep down, I support you. Putting aside whether or not these cherries are extinct, just because you said you bought them at an auction, we have no right to say anything.]
【I’m sorry, little sister.】
[Wait a minute! What happened while I was out picking up a package?! Who's bullying my anchor?! You two, are you asking for a beating?!]
Ye Jiaojiao's performance was decisive, tough and resolute, which reminded many viewers of the time when she blocked the five-sense sharing function for black fans during the live broadcast. Coupled with her appearance of being hurt by everyone (fog), many viewers who remained silent felt a little regretful, while those loyal fans were extremely angry.
The number of people online in the live broadcast room is getting bigger and bigger, and barrages are flying all over the place. Sometimes the barrages from some die-hard fans, mom fans, and girlfriend fans are very scattered, but now, when their little sweethearts are wronged, everyone immediately unites.
[Afraid of getting caught? Wait, I'll report you for involvement with Yellow right now!]
Who is the one who's saying the streamer is getting carried away? She's been live-streaming for so long, her recipes are completely public, she occasionally gives out raffles and small bonuses, and she hasn't even sold anything or advertised anything in her livestreams. What else do you expect from her? Is she a good citizen if she allows you to exploit her?!
[Stop talking, you're just spoiled, little sister. Didn't you block those haters' five senses sharing mode back then, so they could see the food but not eat it? Block another batch! Block all those people just now!]
[Host, please quickly put that plate of beautiful cherries in the middle of the big screen and let those people see them. Don't let them eat them. It'll piss them off!]
The entire army of guarding the calf was mobilized, and wherever they went, there was darkness.
"Thank you, everyone. Thank you for your support." Ye Jiaojiao was amused by the cheerful comments all over the screen, and her mood relaxed a lot. At the same time, she also realized that her actions today seemed a little hasty, and the preparations before the fruit appeared were not enough. Now, she needed to turn the situation around.
