The overall technological level of the interstellar era exceeded Gu Yumian's expectations, but it often made him laugh and cry in some aspects - mainly in entertainment and life.
Perhaps it was because the Oliver Empire had been fighting the Zerg for many years, and it was still a war era until twenty years ago, so the main technological development efforts were concentrated on heavy industry and military industry.
At that time, there was no such thing as soy milk, and naturally there were no soy milk machines.
"This is soaked soybeans. I've been soaking them for seven hours since this morning," Gu Yumian said, picking up an oval-shaped soybean from the water. "It's already soft now. Soaking it again will increase the yield of pulp."
The panda cub curiously stretched out its paw to grab the soybeans. Gu Yumian held its paw, letting it feel the softened soybeans. The snow leopard cub rested on Gu Yumian's shoulder, waving its long tail around his wrist.
Lacking a soymilk maker, Gu Yumian found a grinder originally used for grinding peanuts and placed the softened soybeans into the grinder to crush them. The process was quick, and once everything was crushed, the resulting slurry was poured into a clean, sterilized white gauze cloth.
[A yellow pear flower: Oh, so soy milk refers to the pulp made from soybeans. I think a history classmate of mine mentioned that a certain country in ancient Earth had a way of drinking it called 'douzhi'.]
[Light Bulb: My mom once tried grinding soybeans into juice and drinking it. It was a complete culinary nightmare. It was bitter and fishy, and the taste was very astringent. ?! Host, I'm not well-educated, so don't lie to me.]
"This isn't soy milk," Gu Yumian couldn't help but smile upon hearing the familiar name. "Well... if you grind it directly into juice, you get raw soy milk, which is indeed bitter."
"You need to cook it again, and make sure it's cooked thoroughly—otherwise, you might feel uncomfortable drinking it."
Gu Yumian squeezed the ground soy milk through the white gauze, separating the raw soy milk from the dregs. The raw soy milk now smelled astringent and slightly beany. He added an appropriate amount of water to the raw soy milk and poured it all into a small saucepan, bringing it to a boil over high heat.
He watched the clock as it cooked, then after a few minutes, turned the heat down to low and sprinkled a small spoonful of sugar into the pot. When he lifted the lid this time, a perceptive spectator noticed the color and flavor of the soy milk had changed. But before they could take a closer look, the lid was closed again.
A few minutes later.
"Okay," Gu Yumian took the eager little snow leopard down to prevent it from getting burned, and then opened the lid of the small milk pot, "It's ready now."
——The moment you lift the lid of the pot, the rich aroma of hot soy milk hits your nose!
At this moment, the astringency and fishy taste of raw soy milk completely disappear, leaving only the fragrant and rich sweetness of soy milk. After boiling, the soy milk takes on a pure milky white color, not as viscous as cow's milk, but more fluid, with a refreshing and sweet taste as expected.
[Rose Rich: !!! I'm shocked!!! It smells so good, it's like I've been reborn!!! When can I drink it? ? ]
"It's still hot, don't worry," Gu Yumian said, "Let's take the soy milk and yogurt sweet potato mash to the sunroom to eat, okay?"
Gu Yumian skimmed off the floating residue from the hot soy milk in the milk pot and poured it into a container. He took a small tray to hold the soy milk, the glass, and the small porcelain plate of yogurt and sweet potato puree, and went to the sunroom with the two cubs.
The tray was placed directly on the original wooden floor of the sunroom. Gu Yumian carried the panda cub and the snow leopard cub onto the soft and warm mattress on the floor and sat down cross-legged. The snow leopard cub took the place in Gu Yumian's arms first, and the panda cub could only hold Gu Yumian's hand with grievance.
The temperature of the soy milk had been brought to just the right level. Gu Yumian poured a glass for each of the snow leopard and the baby panda and fed them a sip.
A moment later.
The panda cub was stunned for a moment, then let out a soft, happy whimper. It rubbed its round head against Gu Yumian's palm and began to sip the soy milk from the glass. The little snow leopard also nodded slightly in satisfaction.
Fig Pigeon: Delicious!!! Not greasy at all. I thought it would be thicker like milk... Whether I drink it morning or night, it feels so good in my stomach.
[I have a fish pond at home: szd is delicious, this taste, this light sweetness! ! ]
Visitor 04: Oh, forum sightseeing card! I thought this slow-paced farming livestream would be boring, but why am I so engrossed in it?! P.S. This soy milk is so delicious! QAQ]
[Youyunduo: Sweet and smooth, with a delicious bean aroma, it tastes really good.]
The comments scrolled by quickly, overlapping and overlapping with various gift effects. Because there were so many speakers, most of the comments couldn't be displayed in full.
——The reason is simple, this soy milk is just so delicious!
The delicate and smooth taste of hot soy milk flows through the mouth. The taste is fragrant and rich but not greasy at all. The sweetness of sugar is boiled into it bit by bit, which further emphasizes the light fragrance and mellowness unique to beans.
What’s more important is the feeling it brings to the esophagus and stomach after a few sips. It is comfortable, refreshing and burden-free, warming the spleen and stomach and relaxing all the nerves.
This home-cooked drink has been popular in the ancient world for several years, and for a reason.
And that’s not all. The soy milk was already delicious enough, but the yogurt sweet potato mash that followed was even more surprising.
"Don't drink too much at once," Gu Yumian scratched the little snow leopard's chin, "Let's try the yogurt sweet potato mash. I think it's delicious too, okay?"
Of course the audience said it was good.
A layer of milky white, translucent yogurt coated the warm sweet potato puree, placed next to the night light, looking both cute and tempting. Gu Yumian took a small silver spoon and scooped a small spoonful of yogurt-soaked sweet potato puree from the edge. The orange, soft sweet potato puree mixed with the white, flowing yogurt was mixed together, and the tip of his nose smelled sweet and sour.
Put a spoonful into your mouth...
The first thing you taste is the sweet and sour yogurt, and then when you bite down, the delicate and sweet taste unique to the hot sweet potato mash wraps around your lips, teeth and tongue!
The sweet potatoes that are roasted and cooked until soft and sticky and then pressed into a paste have an exceptionally good taste. The sweet and sticky sweet potatoes and the slightly sour and rich yogurt are blended together, covering up each other's shortcomings. Just one bite is enough to make people unforgettable.
The finishing touch is the small strawberry pieces and cheese crumbs wrapped in the sweet potato puree. The occasional crispy strawberries and cheese in the delicate taste is very surprising.
The little snow leopard narrowed its eyes slightly and wagged its tail much faster. Its cute and calm appearance immediately attracted Gu Yumian's attention.
The key to this yogurt sweet potato puree is the combination and texture. Because it's so simple and looks like something anyone could make, viewers initially didn't expect it to be particularly good. Their expectations were low, but they ultimately exceeded them.
A moment later, the audience: “!!!!”
Vivian: Ahh ...
[Boy B: Bro!! How on earth do you do it?! Everything you make tastes delicious and feels good, you’re amazing!!]
[The alarm clock is ticking: Since I clicked into the live broadcast room half an hour ago, I have already eaten my fifth steamed bun during the live broadcast. Is there any way I can actually eat what the host cooked?]
[Kekeai: Spreading my hands, I think posting barrages is just a form of self-entertainment now. There are too many barrages, and no one is reading them anymore...]
The number of barrages and gifts exploded to almost saturation at this time. In order not to affect the viewing experience, the system even automatically turned on a short-term barrage shield for half a minute.
——Because of the dual support of natural and manual recommendation positions, coupled with his own strong strength, the popularity of Gu Yumian's live broadcast room soared with the increase in evening traffic. At this moment, the number of viewers has reached as many as four million!
This is four times more than the one million half an hour ago.
What Tangtang and her friends can see from their backstage is that Gu Yumian's online audience is very active - most of them interact by sending comments and gifts. Although four million people are not a large number, the total amount of gifts on that day has exceeded that of many anchors with tens of millions of viewers.
Of course, the rookie competition was, after all, comprised of the top new streamers from each planet, so their average skill level wasn't bad. Other regions had also seen streamers with millions of viewers, but Gu Yumian's numbers remained exceptionally impressive.
“…”
After finishing his dessert with the baby panda and the little snow leopard, Gu Yumian was finally able to take a break.
"Hey..." Gu Yumian picked up the little snow leopard by its ribs, then held little Tangyuan in his arms and lay back on the mattress on the floor. "Rest for a while."
[Girl Star: Thank you for your hard work today, host. You made so many delicious dishes. You must have prepared the ingredients and props early, right?]
[Home in the Mine: Thank you for your hard work! Mianmian really puts a lot of effort into it. Watching the livestream is so enjoyable and fun. The slower the pace of a livestream, the more it tests the host's preparation and homework... A firework for you!]
[1551: Although I know Mianmian is working hard and needs to rest early, I really want to continue watching QAQ - it's okay to just do nothing and live stream, please. The atmosphere in this live stream room and the feeling Mianmian gives are so comfortable, a great way to relieve stress.]
Gu Yumian had renovated the sunroom, and it was no longer its original minimalist style. Several warm quilts were spread on the cleaned wooden floor, and various cartoon cushions and pillows were scattered and stacked.
Several night lights were placed directly on the ground. The sunroom was transparent on three sides, and the light mixed with the moonlight fell all over the ground.
The mattress that had been exposed to the sun for a whole day exuded a warm smell of the sun. As soon as he lay down on it, his whole body sank into the soft quilt. This familiar smell made Gu Yumian feel very comfortable.
Especially when you have your own cute and fluffy kids in your arms.
The little snow leopard's paw rested on Gu Yumian's shoulder, dozing off with half-closed eyelids in the crook of his shoulder. His long tail brushed affectionately against Gu Yumian's earlobe. The panda cub rested in Gu Yumian's arms, its small paws loosely holding Gu Yumian's right hand.
After a long while, Gu Yumian finally remembered the important matter:
"By the way, let's wash our paws. Tuan Tuan or Yuan Yuan, who will go first?"
The little snow leopard was still dozing lazily, nestled in Gu Yumian's arms without moving, and the baby panda was the first to respond with a happy whimper.
Gu Yumian asked the home robot to bring a small wooden barrel with hot water in it and a soft, dry hot towel placed beside it.
He folded the towel and put it into the water, then took it out and wrung it out gently. He crossed his legs and let the baby panda sit in his arms with his knees. Then he held the baby panda's little paw in one hand and covered it with a warm, wet towel in the other.
The baby panda's paw pads were soft and tender, and had gotten a little dusty when he'd put the blanket away. Gu Yumian gently wiped the paw pads with a towel, then the fur and the dust off its paws. He was very patient, his movements gentle and slow, as if he wasn't bothered at all.
Through the holographic device, nearly ten million viewers shared all their senses with the panda baby.
The sense of immersion is so strong.
Moonlight streamed in through the clear glass of the sunroom. The soft, warm mattress exuded a pleasant aroma, and the gentle sound of water washed over it, white steam rising. The young man's warm hand held his paw firmly, and with the other, he gently wiped his fingers and palm with a towel. The clean, gentle scent of his embrace enveloped him.
"Are you sleepy?" Gu Yumian touched the baby panda's ears, and his voice sounded gentle because it was lowered.
He then took the little snow leopard in his arms and smoothed its fur. The little snow leopard tilted its head lazily, its ears resting affectionately against Gu Yumian's palm. He couldn't help but curl his eyes as he took both babies into his arms.
"Go to sleep if you're tired. After you wipe your paws, I'll tuck you into the warm blanket."
"Or if you're not sleepy yet, I'll tell our Yuanyuan and Tuantuan a few more stories. The soy milk is still hot, just tell me if you want some, or if you want something else to eat."
The moonlight was gentle and the wind was soft that day.
“…”
More than nine million viewers were suddenly stunned.
This atmosphere, this scene, and this sentence were like unlocking the last line of defense.
Gently let go of all burdens and worries, and have complete certainty in your heart - if you want to sleep, someone will carry you back to bed in a moment, if you want to roll over, someone will catch you, if you want to drink soy milk and eat dessert or want to act coquettishly and do whatever you want, you will be tolerated and unconditionally supported in everything you do.
In holographic mode, I can feel myself being held, cared for, pampered, and even loved.
This is simply the death knell in the hearts of most office workers who work alone and bear enormous pressure.
It's 8pm on a Friday evening, and the livestream is primarily watched by students and office workers finally taking a break after a busy week. They're being exploited by their clients, feeling utterly crushed by the pressures of family and life, and struggling to pay their credit card bills and rent...
Who doesn’t want to be a baby and be taken care of for the rest of their life?
Even if that's not possible, I still want a hug and a safe haven, a place to hide when I feel the most wronged and helpless. I want someone to be there to listen to my complaints, cook a simple but delicious meal, pass me a cup of warm soy milk, serve me a stack of small desserts, and use a hot towel to wipe my cold and tired palms.
The entire barrage was silent.
...until about ten seconds later.
Many emotions accumulated to a certain limit and overflowed. After a slow stagnation, the number of barrages and the number of viewers began to skyrocket again at an exponential rate!
[Girl Star: No one! Don't! Stop! Me! I'm going to Xiaoxuetuan and Xiaotangyuan's house tonight to steal a human! I'm going to lose everything I have to get this man! ! ! ]
Vivian: Haha, another one gone crazy… I mean, myself. Woohoo, wow, wow, I'm really going crazy!! How can there be such a person? I heard humans were recently declared an endangered species, so can we adopt one?! Give me a Gu Yumian!!! I can do it!!!
[Ship in the Water: After ten years of diving, I'm blown away. This is absolutely amazing, absolutely amazing! Ah Wei is being burned to death! Is the host's family still in need of a puppy? I'm applying for one. I'm a 57-year-old golden retriever puppy, ready to work at any time.]
A Curtain of Dreams: Host Xiao Gu, thank you so much! I've been watching your livestreams lately, and my insomnia, nightmares, and many other mental health issues have all healed. These are five fireworks, a gift I bought with my husband's hidden savings.
[Meow: Auntie’s husband is so miserable, hahahaha!! I’m also adding five fireworks. I really like Mianmian’s live broadcast!]
Countless gift special effects exploded one by one.
The number of viewers exceeded 10 million almost in the blink of an eye, and Gu Yumian's live broadcast room rose to second place in the real-time popularity list of the life area. This time it was directly listed on the real-time popularity recommendation position on the homepage, and a large number of new viewers poured in.
——Ding Dong.
Not long after, Gu Yumian's live broadcast room was once again on the Capital Starry Sky platform, and ranked in the top ten of the popularity list that day.
The first time could be considered luck, but in such a short period of time, for the second time, he broke the popularity of several top streamers...
A sensation across all platforms.
At the same time, at the Star Platform Headquarters.
Tangtang refreshed the backend data again and again. The more she looked, the more she felt like she was dreaming. "What's the point of this rookie competition? Just give the trophy to Mianmian and let everyone go home to farm. There's no need, really no need."
Each streamer in the rookie competition had a certain level of skill and luck, and their average performance was quite high. But when they met someone like Gu Yumian, whose abilities far exceeded expectations, and whose new genres, themes, and live content were all new, and whose luck wasn't bad either, they completely secured all the traffic and viewership...
If a king accidentally enters the bronze league, how can he play this game?
On the other side, the Star Platform Branch of Tak Star.
Ke Li ordered a firework online, and the office leader took out champagne from the cabinet, poured a glass for each person, and everyone clinked glasses together.
"It's stable, it's stable," many people almost wanted to wipe away tears, "It's really stable this time."
The potential stock I bought at the lowest price not only took off like a rocket, but also hit three or four daily limit ups in a row...
Now, let's just sit back and wait for him to ascend.
An hour later.
At Gu Yumian's house.
The live broadcast was coming to an end and everyone was sleepy. After Gu Yumian thanked and said good night to the audience, he closed the live broadcast.
"I'm really a little tired today..." He exhaled, lay down in the quilt, hugged the panda baby and the snow leopard, and soon fell asleep. The panda baby also rubbed against Gu Yumian's arms, touched his round head, and fell asleep.
The only one who didn't sleep was the little snow leopard.
Its pair of gray-blue eyes were open, and its little paw pressed on Gu Yumian's cheek, looking down at its human condescendingly, with a lazy expression but also a hint of calculation.
The comments in the live broadcast reminded it of something.
Half an hour later.
A man in military uniform walked out of the sunroom holding a laptop and dialed a number in the corridor.
"Hello?" In a mansion hundreds of kilometers away, Finnick sat upright, ready to take orders. "Your Majesty, what are your instructions?"
There was silence for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, a low and lazy voice sounded:
"Go check, can humans adopt?"
