After eating and drinking, dusk fell.
Gu Yumian was also very satisfied with the meal. He sat cross-legged on the mat, with the little snow leopard nestled in his arms, twitching its tail occasionally and dozing off.
The baby panda is at an active age now. He poked his head under the wooden table and surprisingly picked up a bowl that had accidentally fallen down.
It held the empty glass bowl on its head and looked up curiously. Through the patterns on the glass bowl and the transparent dome of the sunroom, it saw the starry sky on a midsummer night.
The panda baby's confused round eyes gradually widened: "!"
There are stars in the bowl!
It looked for another half minute and confirmed that there were really stars, so it held the empty bowl in front of Gu Yumian like offering a treasure, and tried hard to stuff its chubby self and the bowl into Gu Yumian's arms, whimpering twice.
After all, Gu Yumian had raised Daguo and Erguo, so he quickly understood what Xiaotangyuan meant: This bowl is very beautiful, it is a good thing, I give it to you.
He couldn't help but touch the baby panda's head with a smile, and carefully put the ordinary glass bowl he bought from the Star Internet into a box and placed it in the cabinet of valuables at home.
The items in the cupboard might not be very valuable, but they were all considered very important by Gu Yumian. An identity recognition lock was set up and it was only open to the three of them.
For example, his small half bag of tea, the hair ball made of the silver-white hair that fell off when the little snow leopard was combed for the first time, the optical disc that the baby panda brought when it arrived, etc. Now there is another member.
The baby panda is very happy. It likes to give all its valuable things to Gu Yumian.
The little snow leopard was very dissatisfied.
But he couldn't think of anything that would make him look less stupid and would make Gu Yumian happier than the stupid thing this stupid thing did, so he lay down with his tail in his mouth, feeling very depressed.
It took a while for it to react, froze, and then quietly loosened its tail and curled up to hide without leaving any trace.
Gu Yumian: "..."
He happened to see this scene when he returned to the sun room.
Help! The two pups at home are so cute. Gu Yumian felt that he had also been hit hard and needed a blood transfusion.
[Mini game enthusiast: Is this an albino leopard? It's just so cute, hahaha!]
[Yizhiqingfenggugu: The host treated the children with equality and respect. He didn't take them lightly just because they were children. This really touched me.]
[Home in the Mine: I love the atmosphere of Mianmian's home so much! I feel free and happy every day. I don't want to live in the mine anymore. How many mines do I need to buy Mianmian's home?]
Gu Yumian: "..."
"Alright," Gu Yumian coughed lightly, "Let's finish the barbecue with some roasted rice cakes."
This was simply Gu Yumian's personal preference for eating rice cakes, not anything authentic or anything like that. He wasn't a fan of most popular rice cake recipes on the market, but once, while out for a barbecue, he grilled two rice cakes at the end and was stunned by how delicious they were.
It tastes good when it’s hot and it also tastes good when it’s cold, so you can have it as a snack later.
"I made some rice cakes yesterday and I'm going to make some more today. The method is very simple, so I'll just show you the process."
After washing and disinfecting his hands, Gu Yumian first mixed the sticky rice flour and glutinous rice flour evenly, poured in water and an appropriate amount of cooking oil, stirred evenly into flocs, and then kneaded the dough directly.
"Use a 1:1 ratio of sticky rice flour to glutinous rice flour. Knead the dough and steam it directly until it becomes... like this."
The only convenience of cooking in the interstellar age is that it shortens the time - some things that were previously developed for military use can be slightly modified for civilian use, which can greatly shorten the time for various steaming, freezing, pickling, etc. The fundamental principle is related to molecular diffusion.
What once took over twenty minutes to steam now took only a split second, and the rice dough in the small pot on the alcohol stove became translucent. Gu Yumian removed the dough and placed it on a greased cutting board, pounding it with a small rolling pin while applying oil.
"This is called making rice cakes." Gu Yumian gave the rolling pin to the baby panda and the little snow leopard to try. The little snow leopard didn't feel anything, but the baby panda held the rolling pin and made rice cakes in a silly way, and he was very happy.
"It's quite fun. It feels novel, right?" Gu Yumian rubbed its head.
[Meow: This rice cake beating is fun, but it’s even more fun to have Mimi pat my head. Crazy hint.]
Now the audience still doesn’t quite understand what Gu Yumian is doing, they just instinctively follow his rhythm.
After a hearty meal, watching Gu Yumian doing these trivial things wasn't boring at all; instead, it felt like a leisurely life, light yet flavorful. Many viewers couldn't help but collapse onto the sofa in their most comfortable positions, watching the live broadcast with gusto, even if it was just the simplest content.
The number of people continues to rise.
After beating the rice cake, Gu Yumian rolled it into smooth, elastic strips and placed them in the freezer. Once again, it was quickly removed and sliced, ready to be served.
"I like to eat sweet baked rice cakes," Gu Yumian said, "just use honey."
Gu Yumian replaced the baking paper with a sheet of paper, lightly oiled the bottom of the baking pan, and placed the small, round rice cakes onto the pan. To prevent them from burning and sticking to the pan, Gu Yumian occasionally flipped them over, turning them over once they were golden brown and small bubbles formed, and brushing them with a thin layer of osmanthus honey.
I made this osmanthus honey a few days ago after seeing osmanthus petals for sale on Star Online. Many pandas love honey, and a moderate amount can moisturize the intestines and benefit cardiovascular health.
Eating too much sugar is not good for you, so Gu Yumian did not add any extra sugar and used very little oil.
Soon, the rice cakes in the baking pan were ready to be taken out of the pot. Gu Yumian used chopsticks to pick up the rice cakes one by one and neatly placed them on the white porcelain plate. He poured a thin layer of osmanthus honey on the surface and garnished it with small, cleaned osmanthus flowers, making it delicate and tempting.
The fragrance is everywhere!
At this moment, the surface of each golden and cute rice cake with a crispy skin is covered with a layer of transparent and shiny osmanthus honey, and the inside is also baked with the color of honey. The sweetness of honey and the fragrance of osmanthus mixed with hot white steam spread wantonly.
The baby panda was stunned for two seconds, then slowly crawled onto Gu Yumian's knees and stretched out its paw to touch the round rice cakes on the baking tray. Fortunately, Gu Yumian held its paw and pulled it back.
Many of the audience who were originally slumped sat up straight at this time.
It was past eight in the evening, and most people had already eaten dinner, but now they couldn't resist a baked dessert like this. Just looking at it and smelling the aroma made their mouths water.
"Be careful, it's hot." Gu Yumian let the rice cake cool down and fanned it before carefully feeding each of the two children a small piece. "Try it and see how it tastes. If it's a little bland, we'll add a little more honey."
Three seconds later.
Countless barrages gushed out.
User 37649: !!! I was blown away, this is so delicious ahh ...
[Clouds: Soft yet chewy, with a delicate and wonderful flavor. Very delicious. Send some fireworks.]
Vivian: This honey is so delicious! Oh my god! It's so sweet but not greasy at all. It's so delicious when eaten with this rice cake.
[Boy B: I was just thinking, I'm so full, I really don't want to eat anymore... Now, three more plates, I'll take care of that!!!]
——The outer skin of the rice cake is baked until golden, bubbling and slightly crispy. It is crispy and refreshing when you first put it in your mouth. Then you will find that the rice cake inside is chewy yet soft, and extremely elastic. It is soaked in sweet and fragrant osmanthus honey. After eating it, you will feel sweet but not greasy, and the mouth is fragrant. You will still feel reluctant to eat more after finishing one bite.
The thinly sliced rice cakes barely weighed down the stomach after a meal. Although grilled, Gu Yumian's technique was impeccable, ensuring they didn't appear greasy, making them perfect for this moment.
The little snow leopard's tail brushed across Gu Yumian's neck, a reserved expression of satisfaction. The panda cub eagerly clung to Gu Yumian's elbow, expecting him to have a few more bites.
"This is called osmanthus honey. It's great soaked in water or used in desserts. The recipe is very simple. I'll post it online later." Gu Yumian shook the small transparent glass jar filled with honey. "To thank everyone for your support today, I'll draw twenty viewers and give them a small jar of osmanthus honey."
audience:"!!!"
The already extremely heated atmosphere was pushed to another peak.
"This seems to be Mianmian's first lottery draw on the Capital Star." "I want this so badly!" "Make a wish! Even though it's only ten out of twenty million people, I still want to make a wish!! " "I want this so badly, will the streamer sell it to me? Woohoo!" ...
One gift special effect after another exploded on the screen, and the traffic from the top ten real-time popularity list on the homepage flowed into Gu Yumian's live broadcast room on a large scale at this time!
The exposure of the natural recommendation position on the homepage is very scary.
When this kind of exposure encounters Gu Yumian, it will increase exponentially.
If an ordinary and excellent anchor is recommended on the homepage, the number of viewers may double or triple by the end, while the top anchors on Starry Sky can increase their audience by tens of millions within four hours.
But Gu Yumian has only been on the recommended position of "Top Ten Real-time Popularity" for more than ten minutes, and his popularity has almost increased from 10 million to 20 million.
In the background statistics, the curve representing the popularity increase of Gu Yumian's live broadcast room was the most outstanding, leaving all the other anchors of the same period far behind.
The 'Real-time Popularity Chart' and the 'Daily Popularity Chart' often overlap, having been largely dominated by the top streamers. With the recent sudden emergence of Gu Yumian, Starry Sky headquarters is undoubtedly keeping an eye on the data, and many agents are even more anxious than the streamers themselves.
A manager sent a communication to his subordinate, the most popular anchor in the singing and dancing area:
"Sis, with all the traffic on Saturday night, why don't you start a live stream? It should be pretty easy to get on the real-time popularity charts right now. I see a newcomer is on it, and your total data for today is almost being surpassed by the newcomer."
【Rabbit Qingqing: No, I'm watching the live broadcast.】
[Tu Qingqing: Oh, right, the host in room number 1567 (Gu Yumian) is a newcomer, eh? I think his live streams are really great, and I have an idea.]
【Tu Qingqing: I want to support him! ! ! ! 】
The agent looked at the series of exclamation marks and was silent for a while.
Should he tell the truth?
If they wanted to promote that human streamer, it probably wouldn't be Tu Qingqing's turn, even though she was the top singer in the Xingkong singing and dancing section. After all, their Xingkong CEO Fang Lena was still queuing up behind them, holding a numbered ticket to promote Gu Yumian.
Besides, does this streamer need to be praised? Isn’t he the biggest cheater himself?
Grilling rice cakes at the end of the barbecue will give Gu Yumian a feeling of "perfect ending".
He left the uneaten rice cakes and handed over the baking tray, small stove and other kitchen waste to the small robot in the home system for disposal.
"I feel like I haven't combed Yuanyuan's hair in a long time," Gu Yumian picked up the chubby panda baby from the ground and thought for a moment, "Is Yuanyuan too heavy?"
Although it seems from the live broadcast that he feeds the children all kinds of delicious food every day, Gu Yumian actually pays attention to a balanced nutrition combination. When he is not live streaming, he will also accompany the snow leopard and panda baby to exercise and play.
Besides, Tangyuan mainly drank milk and ate some tender bamboo shoots, so Gu Yumian restrained himself and only gave him a taste of the fresh food. His body length hadn't changed, so he had indeed gained weight, not grown up.
How come I suddenly gained weight? This is so sudden.
Pink envelope: Hahahaha, I'm fat, hahahaha!! Sorry, if I were Yuanyuan, and stayed at the host's house eating and sleeping well every day, I'd get fat too.
[South China tigers never go on blind dates: Grooming!! I can do it!!]
The little snow leopard rested on Gu Yumian's shoulder, giving the panda cub a slightly mocking look. Little Tangyuan was completely bewildered. When Gu Yumian came to hold him, he happily snuggled into his arms, sucking his paws obliviously.
Being fat is also good, so cute, anyway, not fat enough to affect health. Being able to eat is a blessing.
The unprincipled parent Gu Yumian was conquered in a second.
Little Snow Leopard: “…”
It stretched out its claws to push the panda baby's fat head away, and then pressed Gu Yumian's eyes.
"Yuanyuan's nails need to be sharpened. Wait a moment, I'll comb his fur first." Gu Yumian also rubbed the little snow leopard's head. "Tuantuan, can you do me a favor? Push that little wooden barrel over here."
The little snow leopard reluctantly pushed the barrel over.
The panda cub wasn't even two years old yet, so it wasn't the right age to start shedding. Fearing it wouldn't adapt, Gu Yumian hadn't combed it much, just bathing it and occasionally brushing it. But now was the time.
As for nails, wild animals living in the wild or in conservation facilities sharpen their claws themselves, and having claws is convenient for climbing trees and various other activities. However, the baby panda does not sharpen its claws. Now its claws are very sharp, and it chews them every day, sometimes even having small scratches on its body.
Vivian: Mianmian, can you please stop combing my hair and sharpening my claws? It sounds so painful.
[Lili: +1, should I remove the holographic device first?]
[Meow: I'm a long-time fan, don't worry, it doesn't hurt at all!! And it's addictive.]
Gu Yumian nodded: "Well, before I start combing, I will tell you that those who are afraid can remove the holographic device first."
The panda baby scratched its belly in Gu Yumian's arms: "Hmm?"
The little snow leopard pushed the wooden barrel towards him gloomily. Gu Yumian picked it up and kissed its ear: "Brother Tuan Tuan is awesome. Thank you for your hard work."
A trick that always works...for both the little snow leopard and the audience.
The little snow leopard's ears stiffened and then became a little soft. It lay down awkwardly on Gu Yumian's shoulder and closed its eyes.
The barrage was suddenly filled with "Ahhhh awsl". Just for Mianmian's call of "brother", I can endure any pain of combing my hair. Go go go go, "I can do it again."
"Show everyone what's in this barrel."
Inside the wooden barrel were a small fluffy brush, a wide-tooth comb for combing hair, small discs for grinding nails, and shower gel—one for each of the snow leopard cub and the panda cub, placed in small transparent boxes with labels.
There are also several bottles and jars.
What about this super comfortable skin-care baby shampoo? It's said to protect hair and make it soft, smooth, and fluffy. It's definitely suitable for all races, especially cats and bears...
Gu Yumian had paid the IQ tax on Star Online. These products were highly sought after online. When she opened it, she was immediately allergic to the pungent smell of alcohol. She tried it on herself and immediately developed an allergic reaction. She wouldn't dare use it on a baby snow leopard or panda. She'd forgotten to throw it away after trying it, so she just left it there.
The audience saw those popular brands and just thought that Gu Yumian had accepted some promotion, but then he casually said:
“These are not very easy to use and are not recommended for purchase.”
【Tu Qingqing: Phew, this little anchor is a very honest person.】
User 1866: Aren't you afraid of offending the brand and losing promotional opportunities? Hahaha, these are indeed difficult to use, but all related products are difficult to use. You're picking the best from the worst.
"Then I'll wipe the little dumpling first, and then it will start... eh? It's raining."
Gu Yumian looked out the window and found that it had started raining without him noticing.
Raindrops pounded the ground, and the clean, damp air of dirt and grass stalks crept up. Summer weather is like this: one moment the stars are twinkling, and the next, it could be a torrential downpour.
Gu Yumian loved rainy days. Especially when he sat at home with a few warm yellow lights on, listening to the rain wash away all the noise in the world, and flipping through a few pages of a book until sleepiness came over him.
"This seems to be the first rain since we came to the capital planet."
The little snow leopard tilted its head to rub Gu Yumian's cheek and yawned lazily. Gu Yumian curled his eyes, rubbed a homemade lotion on his hands, picked up a warm towel, opened his arms and let the chubby panda baby sit on his lap.
The sound of rain was pattering, and this first rain seemed very gentle.
The upper right corner of the live broadcast room's screen showed Gu Yumian's rapidly growing number of viewers.
...So far, a full 30 million.
