Chapter 10

Seafood Sale

“Fish will stink if left for too long, but I have a little secret.” Liao Ning acted secretive.

Then, she introduced the salt to everyone. “If we marinate it like this for a while and suck out some water, then take it out to dry, it won’t stink anymore.”

[I can already imagine how disgusting the finished product is.]

[Is it really edible?]

[Do you think the grilled fish tasted bad?]

[No, I believe you.]

[Me too.]

“You can try if it’s tasty or not,” Liao Ning said. “Before refrigerators were invented on Earth, people from the ancient era used salt to dry items.”

[Before refrigerators were invented? Then it must have been ancient times.]

[I think the host is probably just giving it a try.]

[I agree.]

[If it’s delicious, can I buy it directly?]

“There’s no quality inspection for this product, so it’s not for sale for the time being,” Liao Ning said.

[You’re so kind.]

[Indeed. Last time, I bought goods from Zhu Fei’s live stream. They sold them to us without a quality check, so I had diarrhea for three days. Poor me.]

[I sympathize with you.]

“If you really want to try the food, you can buy crabs from the Star Federation Research Institute,” Liao Ning recommended.

“Their manufacturer’s freshwater creatures has undergone good breeding and will definitely pass the quality check. Perhaps the delicacies they make will be even more delicious.”

Soon, it was time for their last dish for tonight—black shrimp.

As they watched the fresh prawns curl in the deep-fried oil, coupled with black bean sauce and spring onions, the aroma quickly enticed everyone in the live-stream.

Liao Nai was already rubbing his fists at the dining table, as if he was in a hurry to do something important.

[Haha, the cub’s reaction is exactly the same as mine.]

[The shrimp dish is recorded in ancient books. I’m already looking forward to it.]

[With just this dish, let’s see who dares to say that she’s a slacker.]

At the same time, at the Star Federation Research Institute.

As an old professor stood alone in the nursery fishery, he sighed.

Lin Song was the chief of the research institute. He had been in the research institute for the past half of his life and his temples were gray now.

The square fish seedling farm in front of him was the research site of his lover in her early years.

In his youth, the interstellar space wasn’t as peaceful as it currently was. There were constant wars, during which his lover died.

Now that the interstellar space was peaceful and many places had been rebuilt, only this place was still the same as before.

Now, the freshwater creatures that had been nurtured inside for so many years were already very close to Earth’s freshwater creatures.

However, the capital had just ordered this farm to be evacuated.

It was because the market for the freshwater creatures produced here was bleak.

The construction team would come tomorrow.

He wanted to see this place one last time.

Lin Song’s old eyes were filled with tears of heartbreak, but an intern researcher rushed over and said excitedly, “Teacher! There’s good news!”

This made Lin Song hold back the tears that he had been about to shed. Then, he covered his chest and glared at the young woman.

Seeing this, Jin Xiang quickly supported Lin Song to prevent him from falling. “Teacher, what’s wrong? Are you having a heart attack again?”

It was dark and windy, and he was the only one around, so if suddenly someone shouted at him, it was normal for him to feel startled.

He even thought his lover had come to take him away.

“Let go of me! I’m fine.” Lin Song was annoyed when he saw his disciple pinching him.

Why would Jin Xiang pinch him if she thought he had a heart attack? How did Jin Xiang even get into this research institute?

Lin Song was furious, so Jin Xiang immediately let go and only held Lin Song tightly to steady him.

“I was just too excited,” Jin Xiang said embarrassedly.

After Lin Song stabilized himself, he waved his hand and told Jin Xiang to stay away from him.

He wanted to live a few more years before seeing his wife. Really.

After Jin Xiang stood up, Lin Song nodded in satisfaction. “What is it?”

“Teacher, please take a look at this.” Jin Xiang chuckled as she passed the document to Lin Song.

Lin Song pursed his lips. He originally thought that this girl was up to no good, but the sudden bill made him say in disbelief, “These are all orders for our freshwater creatures?”

“That’s right!” Jin Xiang clenched her fists excitedly and almost jumped up in excitement.

“Recently, a new ancient-era food streamer popped up. She live-streamed the method of making freshwater creatures tonight and inspired nearly 200,000 interstellar citizens to buy our freshwater creatures!” Jin Xiang said as she changed the screen to Lin Song’s live-stream.

The moment the live-stream was displayed, Lin Song was shocked by the taste.

The taste of freshwater creatures…

Could it be that his lover had chosen this topic back then because she wanted to taste this?

After thinking about it, Lin Song burst into tears.
