Chapter 103: Chapter 102: A Useful Thigh

Although the post was eventually reported and removed from the trending search, Qu Tong had Ke Jun by her side.

Ke Jun was truly skilled, very familiar with the data push on the Star Network, and he had long made secondary preparations, spreading the news through different accounts while the topic was hot.

Even if Qu Jianwen spent money to suppress the trending search, it was useless; the pre-sold orders still suffered a large number of cancellations.

A single person’s report might be useless, but when a group of people report, it will invariably draw the attention of higher authorities.

The Empire Market Supervision Administration personally took action to retest the data from Sweetheart Farm, and the results were exactly the same as those exposed online.

Originally, a fine would have been enough, but due to the supervision of the vast number of netizens, they were dealt with more severely.

Within three days, because of substandard food safety levels, Sweetheart Farm faced not only heavy fines but was also forced to close its online store, and all the substandard Energy Fruits were confiscated.

Furthermore, due to internal management disorder, the factory was shut down directly.

The bribed quality inspection officials were also subjected to investigations and awaited the sanction of the law.

All this happened too smoothly, and so swiftly that Qu Tong was somewhat surprised.

It was only when Xu An told her that Mu’an Vegetable and Fruit Shop had received a cooperation invitation from the Crown Prince that Qu Tong realized what was happening.

She had truly latched onto a mighty support.

It’s indeed cool to be in the shade of a large tree, much more reliable than the Alchemist Association that Qu Wanwan had chosen.

She couldn’t fathom what was going on in Qu Wanwan’s head.

If you say she’s smart, she indeed gave up the biggest support of the Empire; if you say she’s not smart, she managed to connect with the Alchemist Association and even convinced Qu Jianwen.

In reality, Qu Jianwen had no intention of giving up either side but was insatiably greedy and wanted to have it both ways.

In his eyes, "Qu Tong" was weak and incompetent, penniless, and could only rely on them.

Unexpectedly, there was a mishap, and instead of having control over her, they ended up being attacked by her.

The Si Family people all have principles, everything entirely depends on Qu Tong’s attitude. If Qu Tong maintained a good relationship with the Qu Family, they would not have helped to fuel this situation.

However, Qu Tong didn’t accept the cooperation with the Crown Prince. Perhaps the Crown Prince represented the Royal Family, and Qu Tong also believed in the integrity of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

But the agricultural industry on Luyi Star had not yet fully developed, and this batch of oranges was specially intended by Qu Tong.

It took just over a month for the oranges to go from planting to maturity.

In the Interstellar, it’s not impossible for plants to mature within a month, but it requires a large amount of Growth Liquid and supplements, which not only doubles the cost, but also the taste of over-accelerated plants is not good.

Therefore, very few farms act this way and will choose to stimulate growth appropriately.

Qu Tong, however, had no such concerns.

Three days later.

Compared to the dismal state of Sweetheart Farm, it actually ended up being free publicity for Mu’an Vegetable and Fruit Shop.

The green gold oranges and sand sugar mandarins were a huge success on sale, almost selling out instantly, and the number of followers for the shop doubled. The shop also successfully upgraded to a level two store, which allowed for the opening of virtual displays.

During this period, Qu Jianwen and Li Yuexiang kept trying to reach Qu Tong with communications, none of which she accepted, and she blacklisted all the so-called relatives in her contacts.

She didn’t think there was any need for contact between them, as she did not need such relatives.

Because of the Sweetheart Farm incident, the preparation of the beef in sauce was delayed, but today, feeling good, Qu Tong decided to add a meal.

Blue Planet Gourmet Culture series second dish----Beef in Sauce.

Qu Tong sent the live broadcast sphere into the air and began preparing the ingredients as soon as the beef was thawed and the blood water soaked out.

Ginger, garlic, star anise, bay leaves, tsao-ko...

Actually, using fresh beef would be better, but she shouldn’t waste what was in the fridge.

The fans in the live broadcast room had already started chatting spontaneously.

[I finally managed to grab some Energy Fruit from the host’s place, and the taste is really good.]

[I got some too, even though it was just one box, but I’m still very happy. I hope the host puts more on sale in the future.]

[Sweetheart Farm is in big trouble, but our host seems to be in a good mood, with new products launching and live food preparation.]

[Our Princess Consort has nothing to do with Sweetheart Farm, and their fruit with substandard purification values dare compare with our host?]

[Exactly, Sweetheart Farm brought it upon themselves. If there wasn’t an issue, who would seal them up?]

[Although I don’t know the details of what happened, I will always support the host.]

[Me too, I will always support the host’s Energy Fruits and Vegetables and the host’s food.]

[The host is the best, no doubt about it!]

The occasional comments about Qu Tong were overshadowed by these supportive ones.

Qu Tong saw the comments, curled her lips into a smile, and sighed softly at the power of good food that had earned her a large group of loyal fans.

Making the soy sauce beef isn’t difficult, mainly it requires having a full set of seasonings.

Luckily, though slightly expensive, all these ingredients were available for purchase.

Qu Tong washed all the beef and blanched it, then she heated oil in a pan to fry the green onion segments and ginger slices for their fragrance before stirring in the bean paste to bring out its savory smell.

Next, she added the stewing spices, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, salt, rock sugar, and the spices she had prepared earlier.

She put the blanched beef into the pot, added enough water to cover the meat, and transferred it to the pressure cooker.

To cook all the beef in the fridge at once, Qu Tong had even bought a large pressure cooker on purpose.

The pressure cooker needed to wait for about half an hour. In the meantime, fans outside the screen got bored and started chatting:

[The host is making Purified Meat again today. I’m so envious. We can only afford to buy it once a week to satisfy our cravings.]

[I can eat Exotic Beast Meat often, but none tastes as good as the ones in the host’s live stream.]

[It feels like no matter what meat or vegetables, everything becomes exceptionally delicious in the host’s hands, with no hint of bitterness or fishiness.]

[If only the host could sell Purified Meat.]

[If only I could buy the host’s hands.]

[If only I could buy the host.]

[What are you guys thinking, doesn’t War God Your Highness have any dignity?]

[Exactly, did you ask about War God Your Highness’s SSS combat power value?]

[Haha, I’m just thinking out loud, doge face to save my life.]

During this time, Qu Tong took the opportunity to package and distribute the green oranges and sugar tangerines that Xiang Bin had sent her.

Like corn, these fruits could only be harvested for these few days, and the next harvest wouldn’t be until the second half of the year.

She didn’t have many people to send them to.

The Empress Dowager’s share couldn’t be short; she had to consider the shares for the Emperor, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess Consort, and Commander Gong Yun.

Plus, she had to send more to Si Yuting and the likes of Wen You and others.

She didn’t have many friends, so she didn’t consider the rest; as for Fei Wenxing and their group, they would buy directly from Xu An, and Xu An would surely send some to Song Ke as well.

The pressure cooker beeped, steaming from the top.

Compared to the last no-name brand, this pressure cooker was much safer and even the release of pressure was digitally controlled, without the need for manual intervention.

As the pressure was released, Qu Tong opened the lid, and instantly, an aroma that tantalized the taste buds wafted out.

The flavor was shared virtually with the audience in the live stream, and in an instant, hundreds of thousands of people were intoxicated by the scent, feeling as if the Nutrient Solution they had for lunch were a waste.
