Chapter 44 Chapter 44
After the celebration that night, Ansius left the manor again, and Yumi continued to work as usual in her Empire Baby office.
But now he is basically the only one in the study. Ansius can stay at home for one day a week at most. Such a busy level makes Yumi a little curious, but after all, he is the crown prince of the empire, and his schedule is confidential, so he will not ask about it.
Now that he has recovered, the ambitious Yumi is ready to continue his live streaming career part-time. He also sent a message announcing that he will start broadcasting soon.
There were tens of thousands of comments in one day, and fans reacted strongly, posting a photo of the little dancing ant trainer asking if it was him.
Yumi replied: Yes, Big Eyes is cute, please continue to support Big Eyes and all dancing ants.
On this day, countless related hot posts appeared on the entertainment forum:
[Surprise! The little animal trainer from a while ago turned out to be Yumi! ]
【Good news, Mi Nichang is going to make a comeback! 】
[How many professions does Yumi have? 】
[Ahhh, that lifelike doll in my house isn't probably Yumi in disguise! ]
…
Since Anxius was not at home all day, Carl found that Yumi started to work alone in the study room, so he went over to remind her in a friendly way: "His Highness Anxius said that you can move freely and there is no need to stay in the study room all the time."
Yumi paused after hearing this, looked up at Carl, and took the opportunity to ask a question he had always wanted to ask: "Mr. Carl, why are you not with the prince?" Since the prince is so busy, shouldn't the secretary go with him?
Karl choked. To be honest, he didn't quite understand what was going on with the prince recently.
But through his previous observations of the prince, he had a little guess, but he didn't dare to speak it out loud.
Seeing Carl's embarrassment, Yumi immediately changed the subject: "Mr. Carl, you should have a house on Sna Star, right?"
Of course, there are more than one, he nodded with a smile.
"Great, I'm going to go look at houses today," Yumi said with a smile. He now had a considerable amount of savings, so he could learn about the housing prices in different areas first. "Um...which district is your house in?"
Carl subconsciously said the address of a house under his name. It was in the wealthy area of the main city. The house was very popular. In addition to being rich, one also needed relevant connections or power to buy it.
Yumi, who originally wanted to go and take a look at other people's community, slowly hunched over when he heard the address.
Even if he saved enough money, he couldn't buy a house there.
When Carl saw him like this, he immediately became at a loss. In order to cheer Yumi up, he promptly used his optical computer to open a holographic software, which allowed them to view the house in an immersive way.
Yumi was immediately attracted by the software unfolding in front of him. In fact, he was not depressed because of the location of Carl's house. He just felt a little regretful that he might not be able to be Carl's neighbor in this life.
Using this software, you can view the house in a panoramic view without leaving home. Karl took him to the holographic virtual scene in front of him and said enthusiastically: "Yomi, what area do you want to buy a house in? We can take a look here."
Yumi thought about it carefully: "In the main city, it would be best to be close to the hospital, so it is convenient to see a doctor, buy groceries and other things. Public security is also very important." He is too small, and public security is very important. As for school... Yumi has already given it a low profile. In this world, he should not be able to find someone he likes with his size, so there is no need to think about having children... Instead, when he settles down in the future, he can try to study at the Imperial Academy. He should be eligible for admission now.
After listening to him, Carl immediately selected several suitable communities for him. Although he had never been a real estate agent, Carl was now a professional real estate agent and enjoyed it. He took Yumi to see several houses. When checking the other properties, he suddenly found a special house thumbnail. When he opened it, Carl was surprised and said, "This small house is especially suitable for you. The price is not high. You can consider it."
It was a duplex building. The area and height were a bit cramped for the Snarkites, but according to Yumi's body shape, this height was just right, even very comfortable, and the area was completely enough, and she could even build a beautiful small building of her own. There was a shopping mall nearby, and the public security was good, which was very suitable for Yumi.
And because the house is not suitable for the size of the Sna people, it cannot be sold for the time being. The price is very cheap. If he was not afraid of scaring Yumi, he would have wanted to buy it and give it to Yumi.
Karl thought Yumi would be satisfied with this house, but when Yumi carefully walked around inside, he frowned and looked at the height and area. He shook his head and said, "I want to buy a bigger house."
Carl was a little surprised and apologetic at the same time: "Are you going to buy a villa? Indeed, this house is a little small..." Yumi has unlimited possibilities and can definitely afford a better and bigger house.
"I don't need a villa," Youmi shook her head shyly, "This house is big enough for me to live in, but I'm afraid it won't be crowded when my friends come to visit in the future." When she had no money before, she just wanted to buy a small house that she could live in. Now that she has friends and her job seems to be promising, of course Youmi wants a home where she can invite friends to come over and stay overnight.
…Is that so?
Carl almost cried when he heard this.
It is said on the Internet that if people from Sna Star want to adopt Yumi, they have to circle Sna Star three times. This is really not an exaggeration at all. If Carl, who is unmarried and childless, was not afraid of being beaten by the prince, he would really adopt Yumi as his child!
Trying his best to resist the urge to melt into water, Carl took Yumi to look at houses in different areas through the holographic software. They were all large houses with normal layouts. Yumi was very satisfied with a few of them and even sat down in them to simulate his work... After closing the software, he had already begun to imagine how he would decorate and take care of the house.
Looking at the little figure of Carl: I’m already looking forward to it!
After locking in a few good houses, Youmi has some idea about the housing prices and his dream house. He is not in a hurry to buy one. Although he is rich now, he is not at the point of buying a house casually. He still needs to look around more. You should never rush when buying a house.
After looking at the house, Yumi was full of motivation and focused all his attention on making money that day.
Sitting at his desk, he began to carefully consider resuming the live broadcast.
Now that tea eggs have become a popular food on Snax, Yumi decided to put stinky tofu on the agenda.
But this time he doesn't plan to follow the original model.
Yumi looked at the calendar. There happened to be a small holiday this week, so there would definitely be a lot of people outdoors, making it a very suitable place to set up a stall.
He contacted Mei Kai, who had experience in setting up stalls, that same day.
When Mei Kai learned that Youmi wanted to cooperate with him to set up a stall to sell new products, he was unable to speak clearly for a moment. He also asked him if he was really the real person, fearing that he had been defrauded.
Yumi was puzzled: "It's me. After the hole-drilling competition, your friend Harvey was sent to the hospital and you gave me this number."
Mei Kai didn't really question him, he just couldn't believe that Yumi would contact him on her own initiative. He once thought that Yumi would hate him very much.
This is not a dream, right?
After careful consideration, Youmi decided that asking Mei Kai to work together to set up a stinky tofu stall was the most appropriate approach.
Unlike tea eggs, stinky tofu is a food with polarized reviews. It cannot rely solely on live streaming. It would be better to give people a more realistic feeling from the beginning. Promoting it through physical sales is the only way he can think of.
He broadcast live while setting up a stall. He wanted the same food to have two completely opposite reactions from customers, some liked it and some hated it. This would at least attract the attention and curiosity of netizens, and at least attract others to try it... After being a live streamer for a short period of time, Youmi is now a professional new media person!
After Mei Kai heard his plan, although he didn't quite understand it, he thought that Yumi's food couldn't be bad! So he asked Harvey to video chat with him that day.
Mei Kai looked a little reserved in the video, which was completely different from his state backstage at the previous drilling competition. He seemed very nervous.
Yumi noticed something was wrong and asked him, "What's wrong with you?" I wondered if anyone was bullying him.
Harvey once told Yumi about Mike's past. He seemed to guess what Yumi was thinking and tried to smooth things over for Mike: "Michael is doing fine now! He's just very embarrassed. He has been feeling sorry for the previous hole-drilling competition." As for the fact that Mike is now the webmaster of Yumi's fan site, he certainly wouldn't tell anyone about it.
Yumi shrugged it off: "He already apologized to me."
Mei Kai's whole body trembled, and he slowly raised his eyes: "...Yumi, thank you."
Seeing that he was in better condition, Yumi smiled and took out her plan and told her the general arrangements.
During the holidays, they set up stalls and live broadcast in places with large traffic. Once the stinky tofu becomes famous, they rent stores to sell it.
Mei Kai was so excited that he kept saying "good" even though he didn't know what stinky tofu was. He was as obedient as a good student. Although Mei Kai was very financially savvy, he didn't bother to calculate at this time. He instinctively believed that Yumi's food would be as popular as Yumi.
That day, Mei Kai and Harvey went to scout out a location together. The next morning, they had already rented a stall in a shopping mall in the city. Their efficiency was extremely high.
Over the next two days, Yumi went out with them to buy raw materials and taught them how to make stinky tofu.
At first, Mei Kai was almost fainted by the stench and thought there was something wrong with their production process, until he saw Yumi eating a piece herself and nodding frequently, he was stunned.
Mei Kai's fan mentality took him to heart, and he didn't care if he would get an upset stomach. He stared at the stinky tofu, closed his eyes and ate a piece of it with a fearless attitude. He clenched his fists and was prepared not to spit it out, but once he started chewing, his expression slowly changed.
Harvey watched his eyes change from tense to satisfied, suspecting something was wrong, but still didn't dare to try. As a result, Mike chased him and forced him to eat a bite!
Unlike Mike, Harvey didn't think it was delicious, but it did taste different from what he imagined. It wasn't smelly at all, just average.
However, this evaluation did not last long.
At night, while eating a light meal, Harvey suddenly remembered the rich taste of the stinky tofu... He missed it for some reason. Just like an old smoker who is addicted to cigarettes and wants to smoke, Harvey now really wants to eat another bite of stinky tofu, but unfortunately he can't buy stinky tofu... He had to go to the kitchen to make a bowl of it temporarily. This time, he ate it again, and he felt more and more addicted... Ah, what a magical food!
The day before setting up the stall, Youmi was worried that she would not have enough staff and was also afraid of the hassle of screening people online. After all, it was quite urgent, so she made a recruitment flyer that day, tiptoed outside the mall to buy an electronic billboard, and then scanned her own small flyer into it.
When he was paying, a young man came over suspiciously and stared at him and the flyer for a long time with flickering eyes.
"Are you hiring?" the young man asked carefully.
Hearing this, Yumi looked back and felt that the boy looked familiar, but he had seen too many people at the zoo some time ago, so it was not surprising that he felt familiar. Yumi nodded: "Yes, we are going to set up a stall to sell snacks tomorrow, so it may be busy. We are looking for someone to help. The salary will be paid daily. By the way, because it will be a live broadcast, we may have to appear on camera..." It was the first time he hired someone, so he stood up straight, put his hands behind his back, and tried to make himself look more mature.
Ah Luo couldn't believe his luck. Since he joined a fan group of Yumi, he has met many local boys and girls. They all talk about Yumi. It's easy to become friends with the same idol... Just now, he had dinner with some friends in the mall. After the party, everyone went home. He didn't expect that he would meet Yumi in person!
"Excuse me, can I have a try?" A Luo suppressed his excitement and actively recommended himself, "I have good eyesight, and I used to do odd jobs for others. Besides, I'm short of money recently. My father's birthday is coming soon, and he wants to buy him a watch, but I don't have enough money. I've been looking for a part-time job..." In order to get this job, he did not hesitate to lie.
Yumi saw that he was tall, handsome, and looked like a skilled person. He also had a part-time job buying gifts for his family, so he sounded like a good kid. He nodded with satisfaction, added his contact information to Aluo, and seriously explained the specific work time and content for the next few days, and then the two said goodbye.
As A Luo walked away, he looked back every few steps. Yumi had already run to meet Mei Kai and the others.
That night, Ye Xi returned home tired. When he opened the door, he saw a brand new watch on the table. At the same time, strange screams and rolling sounds came from his son's room again.
?
His wife came over and hugged him with a smile, her tone full of happiness: "Your son bought it. He also bought me a gift. He said he was very happy during this period and thanked his parents."
"Really?" Ye Xi hugged his wife and raised his eyebrows, "What a big change, has she been possessed by another body?" Although he said this, he felt a lot more relieved in his heart. If his son was happy, he would naturally be happy too.
…
The next morning at eight o'clock, Yumi's stall opened for business!
In front of a busy shopping mall, behind a stall with the words "Mimi Stinky Tofu" written on it, four people wearing aprons were standing.
Yumi stood in the middle, not looking short at all - because she was standing on a high stool and her hands were busy.
Yumi’s newly purchased device, the “Little Butterfly Camera”, is broadcasting live in the air in front of the booth.
【Mi Daily】Live Broadcast——
There is a series of question marks on the barrage.
[Where am I? What are you doing? Shopping? ]
[The little one in the middle is Mimi, she should be standing on a stool, it will be clearer if the camera moves closer]
[Stinky tofu, what is this? Is it really stinky? ]
[Everyone, I just bought one from the stall, and the taste was really... You have to know that Yumi is a live streamer with millions of fans, but no one dared to approach his stall in the early morning! You can imagine the taste yourself! ]
[No way? Yumi's sense of taste became problematic after she got sick? ]
[Don't talk nonsense, it just smells bad, but tastes delicious! Whoever eats it will know, I plan to buy a few to bring back for my roommate to try! ]
[Isn't the guy upstairs really trying to trick his roommate? 】
[How could he make such a stinky thing? Could it be that he has been silent for too long and is trying to attract attention by making a comeback? ]
[Hate fans, get out of here! Youmi has more fans than you can imagine! No need to sensationalize! [Throw stinky tofu at you]]
【……】
However, selling smelly things at stalls is still unacceptable to most Sna people.
Countless people were full of doubts, and even fans felt a little guilty, not understanding what Yumi was doing. But the more they thought about it, the more curious they became. Unconsciously, even passers-by who clicked in stayed in the live broadcast room to see the reactions of the people who ate it...
It was not until noon that the stall, which originally had few customers, gradually became crowded.
In the lens of the little butterfly camera——
A customer was eating stinky tofu while shouting for three more servings; a girl next to him rolled her eyes at the smell in order to see Yumi up close. In order to support her idol, she bought a bowl with tears in her eyes, but after trying a bite, her eyes widened: "Oh my God, is this really the same thing I smelled?"
Of course, there was also a boy next to him who took a bite and ran to the trash can to spit it out in disgust, pinching his nose and running away...
Similarly, there were also people whose mouths were full of sauce, and who continued to eat with great relish even when they were burned, giving the thumbs-up from time to time.
Some people not far away looked on curiously, some were eager to try, and some even regarded this stall as a challenge of dark cuisine and came over to try it with a smile.
Most people's reaction is that they frown before eating because of the stench, and feel confused after eating: Who am I and where am I? What did I eat? Why is it so stinky, fragrant, and intoxicating?
By the afternoon, a long queue had formed in front of the originally quietest stall.
After being shocked, the netizens watching the live broadcast became curious and playful. As soon as they could go out, they dragged their relatives and friends to Yumi's stall! No matter whether it tastes good or not, it looks fun! Just treat it as a paid experience!
On that day, the word "stinky tofu" appeared many times on the topic list.
