Chapter 5 005 Star Network Hot Food and Cats
Chapter 5
[As a web writer and food lover, I came across a post on the forum by chance... Then, I followed the steps described in "I Cook in the StarCraft" to restore it. The ingredients were indeed a little difficult to find, but not as difficult as I thought...]
While posting on his personal homepage, the netizen was kind enough to attach his own replica video. In the video, he gave a detailed description of every step of searching for ingredients and making the dish. When the charred beef brisket is mixed with the soup, the visual impact alone is quite impressive.
[It can actually be reproduced...]
[There are some books in the Galaxy Library that mention Chinese cuisine from the 20th and 21st centuries, but unfortunately those books don't include cooking methods. I can only say that the cuisine restored by the poster actually exists.]
[Is "I Cook in the Stars" serialized on StarNet? I'll go check it out! ]
When the tag #Chinese food, successfully replicated# first became popular, there were quite a few doubts in the comment section of the poster.
"The Amnesiac Marshal Loves Me Hard" is a popular article on StarNet after all. Even those StarNet netizens who don't usually read online articles have an impression of it. "Cooking Food" did "copy" "Amnesia", and coupled with the author's "shocking remarks" in the comment section, even if the poster claims that the replica was successful, some people suspect that this is a joint hype between the poster and the author of "Cooking Food".
[I’ve been deceived too many times. Some authors in the online literature section are really...]
[The question is, even if the reproduction is successful, are these really "delicacies"? 】
These messages did receive some likes at first, but in the interstellar age, not only sounds and images, but smells can also be transmitted through the Internet. All you have to do is turn on the video and skip the food preparation process. Amid the sizzling sound of hot oil, a strange aroma quickly spreads in space.
The aroma of meat and sauce, the impact of chili peppers, and the braised pork that bounces up with a slight poke...
【Ahhhh why can I only take nutritional supplements? 】
[Damn, my mouth is watering... I know it must be delicious just by smelling it! ! ! ]
[Ahhhh, open the Star Network right now, I want to eat!!!]
[I hate that I turned off the sound and smell functions, but the visual impact of the food is still in front of me. I want to turn off the video, but my brain tells me that it wants to continue watching. ]
[No matter what flavor of nutritional supplements I drink now, they don’t taste good anymore. Is this the power of food articles? ]
At this moment, "I Cook in the Interstellar Space" attracted countless new readers.
"Cooking Food" has performed well on the new book list, and several online literature companies are interested in signing a contract with Teriyaki Chicken Legs.
There are three large companies in the online literature section. It can be said that all online writers with a little popularity on Starnet are signed to these three companies.
There is naturally competition between companies, but each company has a different style of main promotion. For example, Knicks Entertainment’s “Amnesia” series focuses on the theme of sadomasochism, represented by “The Amnesia Marshal’s Love”. Knicks Entertainment is very good at operating this theme.
Most of the topics related to food and farming were signed to sculpture entertainment.
Food is an unpopular subject, with few good articles but a lot of bad ones. Among the three companies, Sculpture Entertainment is the weakest. Previously, a popular author of Knicks Entertainment wanted to terminate the contract, and the contract had been negotiated with Sculpture Entertainment, but it was still ruined by Karaen who intervened in the middle.
Of course, the three companies still maintain a superficial peace. If nothing unexpected happens, only Sculpture Entertainment will compete for "I Cook in the Galaxy", and the other two companies will not take the initiative to grab it.
Although the popularity of "I Cook in the Stars" is quite high, Teriyaki Chicken Legs is after all a new author, and his work is about unpopular food themes. There is no need for the three companies to fight over him.
However, shortly after Sculpture Entertainment sent a message to Lin Shu, the tag #Chinese food, successfully reproduced# became popular on StarNet.
The tag caught people off guard, and the speed at which it became popular was incredible. By the time Carving Entertainment reacted, both Knicks and Karaen had come out and joined the competition for the BBQ chicken legs.
Carving Entertainment initially offered Lin Shu a 40:60 split. However, after realizing that the tag had become popular, Teriyaki Chicken Legs were no longer what they used to be, so Carving Entertainment took the initiative to change the split to 50:50.
But for some reason, "Teriyaki Chicken Legs" has not responded to the communication.
“Could it be that the share is too low?”
The editor of the sculpture, Cheese Bean, was very anxious. He always felt that on the other side of the screen, Teriyaki Chicken Legs had already signed a contract with the Knicks and Karaen, and tomorrow morning, the Knicks would proudly declare that the Teriyaki Chicken Legs belonged to them.
While Cheese Bean was waiting for a reply from Teriyaki Chicken Legs, he was negotiating a new profit-sharing ratio with the editor-in-chief. After a long time, there was still no response from Teriyaki Chicken Legs. The profit-sharing offer from Carving Entertainment increased from 55% to 82%. Cheese Bean was almost desperate.
If he didn't agree, he could only watch the teriyaki chicken leg slip away.
But this is the biggest concession that Sculpture Entertainment can make.
Everyone knows the significance of replicating delicious food, which means that a groundbreaking food article has appeared.
To some extent, "I Cook in the Interstellar Space" is not just a food article, it successfully makes the pursuit of food a reality for the people in the Blue Galaxy.
The homepage of the article "I Cook in the Interstellar Space" was already overwhelmed by the 1,000 star coins donated by Shi Juan. Many readers generously donated more than 10,000 star coins, and a wealthy man even donated 300,000 star coins!
The number of clicks, comments, and other data of "Cooking Food" are skyrocketing. Although "Cooking Food" has not started charging yet, the attention it has received has already exceeded the scope of what a new book should have.
…You are so strong, how can you sleep with teriyaki chicken legs?
How can you resist taking a look at StarNet?
…
Lin Shu now understood where the popularity of "Cooking Food" came from.
His only thought was that the household robot he had been coveting for a long time could finally be bought.
Lin Shu doesn't like cooking or cleaning, and he's tired of drinking nutritional supplements. The household robots sold on Starnet all have the functions of cleaning and cooking - although the cooking steps require a set process, in the Blue Galaxy where gourmet food almost doesn't exist, this function is naturally useless and is usually used to mix nutritional supplements of various flavors.
But for Lin Shu, cooking is not a useless function.
He first placed an order for a household robot on StarNet, and then planned to purchase the vegetables and meat that he had added to the shopping cart earlier. As a result, as soon as Lin Shu clicked into the shopping cart... all the ingredients were marked as "sold out"!
At this moment on Starnet, a large number of netizens are beating their chests and stamping their feet:
[Gone!! Who bought my salt and pepper pork ribs embryo? ]
[Who killed my Mapo Tofu again? ! ! ! ]
Ever since the poster successfully reproduced it, food merchants on various planets took the lead in taking action. They reproduced classic Chinese food as quickly as possible according to the description in "Cooking Food".
For a while, the news spread all over the internet, and many netizens said they would quit the internet for a day.
[Who can stand it if you can only smell the food but can't eat it? ]
[Hehehe, I've already eaten it, it's delicious! ]
Netizens who are still taking nutritional supplements: [Hate! ]
The hatred in my heart could not be eliminated in an instant, so I could only place the order silently and frantically add all the ingredients that I used to make juice into the shopping cart.
As a result, Lin Shu had to drink nutritional supplements for three more days.
…
Regarding signing the contract, Lin Shu did not hesitate much and directly chose Sculpture Entertainment.
The share given to him by Engraving was the highest, while the other two companies gave him much lower share. Besides, before signing the contract, Lin Shu checked the promotion styles of various companies. The Knicks almost never signed authors of Chinese descent. Even if a Chinese author was signed, the Knicks would not devote too many resources to them.
Although - after Lin Shu accepted the contract from Sculpture Entertainment, the Knicks editor took the initiative to contact Lin Shu.
The reason given by the Knicks is that in the past year, Sculpture Entertainment's new books have been beaten by the Knicks on various lists.
"The author of 'Amnesia' won't mind your previous wrongdoings. He can promote you in 'Amnesia'. You must think carefully about this. This kind of opportunity is not available to ordinary Chinese authors."
“Cooking Food” is popular now, but if you want to be popular in the online literature section, relying on this one article is far from enough.”
Lin Shu’s response was – “Oh.”
The book signed by the Knicks contains a lot of content that defames Chinese authors, and the Knicks have never tried to stop it. Just based on this point, there is no possibility for Lin Shu to sign with the Knicks.
…
The moment the communication light came on, Cheese Bean almost cried.
Sculpture has had a hard time this year. Although it has signed some authors, the overall strength of the authors is far inferior to that of Knicks and Karaen. It was originally thought that Teriyaki Chicken Legs would also go to the other two companies like the authors that were previously favored by Sculpture. However, after waiting for a long time, Teriyaki Chicken Legs finally chose Sculpture Entertainment.
Even if...even if Teriyaki Chicken Legs can only become popular because of the book "I Cook in the Interstellar Space", for Carving Entertainment, his current popularity is what the company urgently needs.
What's more, Cheese Bean could tell that the style of Teriyaki Chicken Legs was completely different from the online articles he had read before.
Now readers are attracted by the delicacies described in the book, but as an online article editor, Cheese Bean pays more attention to the rhythm of the article about teriyaki chicken legs.
In the recent chapters, the face-slapping plots come one after another, with ups and downs, which completely aroused his emotions. Not everyone has this ability.
And the description of the food further illustrates how rich the knowledge reserve of Teriyaki Chicken Legs is.
Before sending the invitation, Cheese Bean thought, maybe the teriyaki chicken leg is the descendant of a rare gourmet family? Or maybe he saw the production process of those delicacies in some ancient book?
All in all, the teriyaki chicken drumstick is worth signing up for!
They also managed to sign each other in!! Oh yeah!
Fearing that there would be more twists and turns, the moment Teriyaki Chicken Legs responded, Cheese Beans sent the contract to Lin Shu as quickly as possible: "Mr. Chicken Legs, remember to check the signing gift package."
The contract clearly stated the terms of responsibilities and obligations, and the profit-sharing ratio was 80% for Lin Shu and 20% for Carving Entertainment. Cheese Bean had already told Lin Shu about these conditions, and Lin Shu had no objection.
He studied the contract carefully and found no loopholes. The contract even provided detailed instructions on the promotion method.
Lin Shu then attached his signature and fingerprint.
Lin Shu is very satisfied that signing an online writing contract does not require an ID certificate. His writing life is relatively comfortable for now, and he does not want to generate unnecessary exposure because of "Cooking Food".
There are no longer many people discussing the Four Young Masters of the Imperial Star on Starnet. Lin Shu stays at home every day, and Li Enxing is relatively remote, so posts like "I really want to live stream Lin Shu's life on Li Enxing" have gradually disappeared.
Soon after the contract was sent, a reminder appeared on Lin Shu’s Star Network account, indicating that the gift package sent to him by Carving Entertainment had arrived.
After opening the door and taking out the gift bag, Lin Shu opened the package, which contained some paper, pen materials, and carved entertainment red text peripherals.
"Huh." Lin Shu was about to open the second package when a fluffy, round ball rolled out of the package. It had orange and amber eyes and orange fur. What was this - an orange cat?
Lin Shu's eyes met the orange cat's.
Lin Shu couldn't remember whether there were cats in the Blue Galaxy, but whether on the Emperor Star or Lien Star, he had never seen cat-like creatures appear on the streets.
The orange cat had big, round eyes. When its gaze met Lin Shu's, a hint of doubt flashed in its eyes, but soon, it curled up into a small ball in Lin Shu's hands.
Are cats that small?
Lin Shu was puzzled, so he sent a message to Cheese Bean: "There is a cat in the gift package."
Cheese Bean was answering questions for other authors. When he saw the message from Lin Shu, he asked the assistant editor in charge of packing the gifts, "Is the gift for Mr. Chicken Legs a cat-shaped robot this time?"
A faint "hmm" sound came from the room. Cheese Bean thought that this was correct, so he replied to Lin Shu: "Mr. Chicken Leg, you can try feeding it paper, and it will grow bigger. Press the key on the top of its head, and it can spray refreshing fragrance, and you can also switch to the mode of checking typos and inspiration source."
Lin Shu had traveled to the Blue Galaxy for some time. After listening to Cheese Bean's description, he guessed that this cat should be a creative robot or something like that.
I don’t know if it’s because the people in Interstellar are too bored or because the technology tree has been lit up too much, but Lin Shu has even seen robots that “help relieve constipation” in robot stores.
Even if I take nutritional supplements, do I still need to worry about constipation?
But Lin Shu searched for a long time and couldn't find the key on the top of the head that Cheese Bean mentioned. He rubbed the kitten's head until the orange cat wanted to run away.
The buttons are probably invisible.
Lin Shu then went to the table and took out a draft he had written not long ago and handed it to the little orange cat.
The orange cat didn't move.
Lin Shu: “?”
After a few seconds, the orange cat still didn't move.
Lin Shu: “Suck, suck, suck…”
Maybe this sound is more suitable for summoning golden retrievers?
Or is his draft paper too big?
Lin Shu tore the draft paper into strips and continued to stretch them towards the orange cat's mouth.
The orange cat was not moved at all, and even looked at him with disgust.
