Chapter 212: Chapter 208: Interstellar Deserted Star Farm Woman 19

Ji Xiaosong slept until the sun had set before she slowly woke up.

As her eyelashes fluttered, the last sliver of golden-red light dripped from the tips of the grape leaves.

Her body, curled up in the rocking chair, was like a ripe peach. The evening breeze billowed her loose, pale-green Ruqun, revealing a glimpse of her fair ankles.

"You’re awake."

Rongrong’s mournful voice echoed in Ji Xiaosong’s mind.

"Ah, I fell asleep again. The first trimester really makes you tired."

Ji Xiaosong was still lying in the rocking chair, half-reclined. She cracked her eyes open just a sliver to look at Rongrong.

Her gaze held a trace of drowsiness and resignation, but the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

One hand rested unconsciously on her still-flat stomach, stroking it gently.

"When are you going to start your plan?"

Rongrong got down to business, as this was also a good opportunity for the two of them to accumulate merit.

"Let’s start tomorrow. I just remembered, the last time Dai Lixing sent me that farming robot, a hole just opened up right in front of me. So I’m thinking this shouldn’t be too hard."

Ji Xiaosong connected to the Star Network and started looking into it.

A moment later, she finally found a way.

"Rongrong, tomorrow we’ll start planting on all the arable land on Wa Star. That way, we can provide food for more people."

"Then how will you let everyone know you’re selling toxin-free food, Song?"

"I’ll just do a live stream, but I won’t show my face. I don’t want to become an influencer. That would attract too much drama, and I can’t be bothered to deal with it."

"Alright. It’s getting late now. What do you want to eat?"

"Braised pork. I haven’t had that in ages."

With that said, Ji Xiaosong got up, sat on Rongrong, and prepared to head into the mountain forest to find a wild boar.

Raising her own pigs was out of the question. Not only was it too much trouble, but it was also dirty.

Besides, the entire Wa Star was hers. She could eat whatever she wanted.

Casually picking up the Light Energy Gun she had bought on the Star Network, Ji Xiaosong headed into the mountain forest.

She moved through the forest, her eyes scanning her surroundings for any sign of a wild boar.

Before long, she spotted a moderately-sized wild boar.

’You’re the one.’

Ji Xiaosong raised her gun and aimed. The Light Energy Gun fired a beam of blue light, and the boar dropped to the ground.

She walked over, confirmed the boar was dead, and began to process the carcass.

She skillfully skinned it and removed the organs, then placed the dressed pork into a storage pouch she carried with her, ready to take it back to her dwelling.

"Song, your skills are getting better and better. You processed that boar so quickly," Rongrong praised her in her mind.

"Of course. After all, you won’t get by on Wa Star without learning a few tricks," Ji Xiaosong replied with a smile, shouldering the pork and heading back.

Back at her place, Ji Xiaosong placed the pork on a cutting board and began to cut it into chunks.

As she chopped, she said, "Rongrong, can you pull up the live streaming equipment from the Star Network for me? I need to get things ready."

"Okay, the equipment is ready. You can start the stream whenever," Rongrong replied.

Ji Xiaosong put the chopped pork into a pot, added seasonings, and began to stew it.

At the same time, she went to the storeroom to get some rice, preparing to cook it.

"Song, I found a feature. When you stream interstellar, you can let viewers remotely experience the smell of your food, and even sync with your sensations as you eat. Should I enable this function?"

"Of course. Let’s give those people who drink nutrient solution every day a taste of the shock and awe of ancient cuisine."

"Then what should we name the stream?"

"Toxin-Free Cuisine."

"That’s it?"

"Of course. Just that is shocking enough."

"Right."

With everything ready, Ji Xiaosong started the live stream.

"Good evening, interstellar citizens. Welcome to the premiere of ’Toxin-Free Cuisine’."

Her voice was tinged with the laziness of someone who had just woken up. With a light tap of her finger in the air, the holographic bullet-comment pool floating above the cooking station instantly erupted.

Behind her, the Starship’s cabin wall simulated a holographic projection of Dusk Farm, where streams of light from the Golden Ears Nebula twined around strings of drying chili peppers.

"Clickbait! Reported! The Federation Research Institute has been stuck on this for years, and some no-name streamer dares to claim she has toxin-free food?"

"These days, anyone who claims to sell toxin-free food is either a fool or a scammer. I bet this streamer is just trying to pull a cash grab."

"Probably selling game meat. And she dares to call it toxin-free? She probably just hunted it randomly in the woods. The sanitary conditions must be terrible. You’ll probably get diarrhea from eating it."

"With technology this advanced, who can guarantee something is absolutely toxin-free? Isn’t this streamer just chasing clout?"

"This streamer must be brainless, only thinking about using a gimmick to attract people without considering the reality of it. She’s bound to crash and burn."

"’Toxin-Free Cuisine,’ the name itself sounds fake. She definitely didn’t do her homework and just wants to use it for clicks. So unreliable."

"I think this streamer is a fraud. She probably wouldn’t even dare to eat the food she’s selling, yet she has the nerve to put it up for sale."

"This streamer is so naive, thinking she can attract people just by shouting a slogan. She hasn’t considered the practical difficulties. She’s in for a rude awakening."

"With her meager abilities, she wants to make it in the interstellar food scene? She’s really overestimating herself. She’ll be kicked out sooner or later."

"This streamer is definitely inexperienced. She thinks she can get famous just off the ’toxin-free’ concept without realizing the challenges behind it. So childish."

Ji Xiaosong’s fingertip brushed over the star-patterned sensor on the edge of the cooking station. A translucent stream of data intertwined into a light screen above the cutting board.

She deliberately aimed the camera at the clay pot, which was BUBBLING merrily. An amber-colored broth coated the trembling chunks of meat. The moment steam lifted the lid, the holographic projection rendered the molecular-level bursting of oil droplets with exquisite detail.

"For those questioning the source of the ingredients, look here."

She held up the remains of the wild boar’s ear, the surface cut by the Light Energy Gun still glowing faintly blue. "Radiation level: 0.03μSv, twenty times lower than the Federation’s standard for drinking water."

Then, she took out a toxin detector, which clearly displayed: "0 Toxins."

"Σ(°Д°)! That detector is the same model the Federation uses! Where did the streamer get the authorization for that?"

"That radiation level... the water from my tap is higher than that!"

"My mom asked me why I’m watching this stream on my knees.jpg"

"Why do I suddenly want to eat dirt? That stewed meat looks illegally good! I don’t even care if it has toxins or not, if the streamer can make it look like that, I’d still want to try it. Everything has toxins anyway."

"+1 to the comment above. Suddenly my nutrient solution doesn’t seem so appealing..."

"Do you dare to make the test data public? I want to screenshot it and report you!"

"This aroma... even my robot is starting to drool!"

"Link please! I want to transfer money right now!"

"Can someone tell me if this is really edible? Waiting online, it’s urgent!"

"An account from a certain association next door has come online to watch."

"I’ll bet ten Star Coins this streamer gets ’invited for tea’ tomorrow."

"I declare! This is the most badass stream I’ve seen all year!"

"A certain association has sent a cease and desist warning!"

"Wait a minute... does the texture of this pork look the same as what’s described in the Ancient Blue Star documents?"

"It’s over, it’s over, my little monster just threw out all his nutrient solution..."

"Streamer, are you looking for taste testers? The kind that brings their own inspection team!"

"I’m buying ten pounds for my old man! He’s been rambling about Ancient Blue Star cuisine for thirty years!"

"Just for the record: If I get sick, I’m reporting this first thing!"

"Wait! That crispy rice... is that the smell of rice? I can actually smell a rice paddy on a Starship!"

"A holographic projection capable of molecular-level rendering? How much must that equipment cost..."

"This streamer definitely has connections! I’m going to look up her Star Network ID!"

"A certain department has initiated its emergency protocol."

"It’s over, it’s over, my robot is secretly searching for Ancient Blue Star recipes."

"Petition to legislate: Ban this kind of stream for the emotional damage it causes to single people."

"Is it too late to back out now? I only have a three-day supply of nutrient solution left..."

"What’s with this sudden urge to quit my job and become a farmer?"

The bullet comments flew by one after another. Ji Xiaosong watched the content scrolling past, a constant smile on her face.

"Alright, my braised pork and rice are done. Now I’ll just quickly make a smacked cucumber salad, and that’ll be my dinner."
