Chapter 18 The StarNet is About to Explode



In the end, Lu Yulan hung up the video call. Perhaps General Lu was used to the other person hanging up first when chatting with his family.

This might be a tradition in the Lu family; it seems that's how it is when I chat with Grandpa Lu.

Lu Yulan hadn't eaten rice in a long time. As a southerner, she felt uncomfortable if she didn't eat rice for three days.

"Xiaomi, start recording mode."

Do you need automatic virtual captcha solving?

"Hmm, is it not enough to just record the hands?"

[Host is so beautiful, how could you only show your hands? I thought you would think that.]

Lu Yulan: ...

I have to say, Xiaomi's smart system is quite advanced. I actually thought so for a second, but I didn't want to be criticized by General Lu's fans, so I decided against it.

I'm just a nobody with a debt of 100 million and a small planet, and no salary. I can't handle it.

Stop being sarcastic.

After Xiao Mi finished speaking and started recording, Lu Yulan took a whole ear of rice that hadn't been peeled yet and demonstrated how to cook it in the shell if the interstellar people did it.

The snow-white grains of rice popped out from the grayish-white earth crust, which was quite a pleasant sight.

They look like chubby, white dolls.

After demonstrating one, Lu Yulan stopped. It was a bit too much work, and if she peeled them all herself, her hands would probably be ruined.

It's as hard as a walnut shell, no wonder no one tries to eat it.

So, what did the first person to eat a walnut go through?

They took the rice that Lu Didi and Yuan Fei had husked last time and rinsed it.

Then put it in a pot with one bowl of rice and two bowls of water, and cook.

Done.

While the rice was cooking, Lu Yulan went to check on her alien seafood.

The colorful little seashell has already opened up.

To Lu Yulan's relief, the meat inside the shell was still white and tender.

Thankfully, it wasn't seven-colored; otherwise, Lu Yulan wasn't sure if she could have eaten it.

Seashells.

What can we do with it?

Garlic vermicelli scallops with oyster sauce, spicy stir-fried clams, and steamed clams (plain).

Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

However, it seems that all I can cook right now is steamed or stir-fried with chili. I don't have glass noodles, oyster sauce, or garlic.

I forgot to redeem the garlic.

Is this a conspiracy by Xiaomi to make itself work harder to gain popularity points?

But how exactly do you earn "like points"?

Lu Yulan had some ideas, but she wasn't sure. Did she have to taste the dishes she made, or could she do a live stream on the StarNet, or was it enough for her to just promote the food?

Unable to come up with a solution, Lu Yulan gave up trying.

Let's go see the shellfish seafood.

The six-clawed seafood was still trying to play dead, floating motionless on the surface of the water, but its small tentacles twitched reflexively when Lu Yulan looked over.

These seafood are so lively! It's been more than two hours since they got back, and they're still going strong. They're definitely not Earth's little cutie.

The six claws are too big for me to finish by myself, but I can invite Uncle Lu and Yuan Fei to eat together tonight.

In this way, after tasting the delicious seafood, they will never have to worry about not having someone to catch seafood for them again.

As for the two shells with eyes on the outside, just steam them.

[Host, all done.]

"Then let's just send Lu Yuanhong."

Now that I've decided on dinner, what should I eat next?

Rice can be stored in the refrigerator; the interstellar preservation is excellent.

I'll just make myself some seafood congee.

Select a few shells with the least flashy colors, clean them thoroughly, and remove any unwanted parts.

Add it when the porridge is halfway cooked; don't add it at the beginning, as seafood will become tough if cooked for too long.

Lu Yulan added it now because she was afraid it wouldn't cook through.

Moreover, she tested these items before bringing them back, and they were found to be non-toxic.

In the eyes of a foodie, "not poisonous" is practically equivalent to "edible"!

Sprinkle some chopped green onions on top when the porridge is done cooking; I just managed to get them on credit from Xiaomi.

Having too much debt doesn't mean you have to worry; Lu Yulan is here with her debts piled high.

One final test confirmed that there was no poison.

The snow-white clams are plump and glistening. With one bite, the sweetness of the seafood and the aroma of rice blend together perfectly.

Lu Yulan never knew that a bowl of seafood porridge could bring her such happiness.

Indeed, salt, sugar, and fat are the enemies of humankind.

All I want now is to submit to the enemy and die.

Soon, the bowl of seafood congee was empty.

Lu Yulan drank too quickly and even burped slightly.

With ample food at home, Lu Yulan, unperturbed after finishing her business, went to take a nap.

Little did they know that the StarNet was struggling to keep up with two videos featuring people who didn't show their faces.

The entire internet is in an uproar.
