Chapter 92: Chapter 91 Sharp Netizens

Xu An could tell the two knew each other before, but he didn’t ask right then, instead, he went straight into the recruitment process.

Beforehand, Xu An had familiarized himself with Ke Jun’s information, and had reviewed the key points with Qu Tong on the way over.

Ke Jun was 45 years old this year and had previously been the operations director of a farm, with 10 years of work experience.

Xu An had also specifically mentioned that Ke Jun’s salary requirement was 100,000.

Qu Tong shook the juice in her hand and took a light sip.

The purity value was probably not 100%, but the bitterness was cleverly masked by the sour taste, creating a sour-sweet flavor.

Qu Tong began directly, "I’ve looked at your resume. Your previous job paid you 50,000 a month."

"My salary hadn’t increased for ten years at my last job. A person’s abilities grow, and I am capable of creating the value that deserves a salary of 100,000."

Ke Jun appeared confident on the surface, but his heart was pounding, and he unconsciously clenched the corner of his suit under the table.

But he didn’t want to give in.

Xu An felt that 100,000 was a bit high for their small shop’s current size.

However, Qu Tong showed no reaction on her face and continued to ask:

"Your last company was Sweetheart Farm?"

"Yes," Ke Jun answered somewhat nervously; he was well aware that the Princess Consort also had the surname Qu.

"An operations director should be part of the senior management, right? You must know a lot of insider information?"

"What?"

Ke Jun was confused.

Qu Tong gave a sly smile and said to Ke Jun, "You must be really in need of money, right? I can afford to pay you 100,000, and I can even give you an advance. Prepare a strategic plan to bring down Sweetheart Farm within two months, and if it passes, you’re hired."

"Princess Consort, this..." Ke Jun was taken aback by Qu Tong’s straightforward statement. Even with his confidence in his abilities, he was at a loss for words in the moment.

Xu An was also shocked. This seemed too hasty.

"Otherwise, how would I know if you’re not a spy sent by Sweetheart Farm?" Qu Tong raised her eyebrows and smiled, patiently waiting for Ke Jun to make a choice.

Two days earlier, Mu’an Vegetable and Fruit Shop had released a teaser, announcing that new products, Green Kumquats and Sugar Tangerines, would soon be available, which happened to clash with the tangerines from Sweetheart Farm.

Ke Jun was silent for a long while, then finally laughed helplessly:

"Do I have any other choice?"

"Of course, you do, choices are mutual."

Qu Tong spoke casually, leisurely enjoying her meal without rushing for an answer.

Once all the dishes were served, Ke Jun made up his mind: "I’ll start on the strategic plan as soon as I get back."

"Alright."

Qu Tong called the waiter, paid the bill, and left with Xu An.

Ke Jun looked at the table filled with elaborately prepared and expensive dishes, feeling a slight bitterness in his heart.

It was only after leaving the restaurant that Xu An couldn’t hold back his doubts: "Sister, isn’t this a bit rash?"

Qu Tong tapped a few times on her light computer, opened the public broadcast, and projected a piece of news.

"Not rash. If he’s determined to take on Sweetheart Farm, he is worth the 100,000. I’m not afraid of having our formulas stolen, and I think he must be in a tough spot," Qu Tong remarked.

After all, it’s already pitiful enough that his wife cheated on him. He also remembered to advise a stranger that eating fruit with insufficient purity value is bad for health.

Xu An fell silent, realizing his sister was determined to take on their uncle and others. To hasten the process, she was willing to spend 100,000 to hire someone whose reliability was unknown.

"Sister, don’t worry, I’ve already asked Liang Ge to help, and I plan to make my move on the day Sweetheart Farm officially harvests."

"Brother, just go ahead. If anything happens, I’ll ask Prince Yuting to cover for us," Qu Tong patted Xu An’s shoulder, giving him confidence.

Xu An: "..."

Is this really okay?

"Let’s go, I’ll take you out to eat, the food at that restaurant wasn’t good at all."

Xu An noticed that Qu Tong only had a chopstick’s worth of each dish but drank half a glass of the fruit juice.

Recently, the meals he had been eating were also made from energy plants, so he didn’t enjoy the food outside as much.

Today was still within the mission period, so there were no classes.

Qu Tong sent a message to Si Yuting, saying she wanted to take Xu An to the manor, but he didn’t reply, probably being busy.

Qu Tong then called Butler Chi, who was very happy after hearing the request and even asked if Qu Tong wanted any food prepared.

Qu Tong had Butler Chi prepare some purified meat.

Xu An followed Qu Tong onto the aircraft, admiring its luxurious interior while also relieved that Qu Tong could gain Marshal Si’s approval.

Back at home

Qu Tong finally received a reply from Si Yuting: "You decide for yourself."

Qu Tong responded with an emoticon sticker and then took out all the Immortal Leaves she had gathered on Liuluo Star.

The butler, knowing that Qu Tong was about to make something delicious, was very eager to help.

Qu Tong took out a portion and asked the butler and Xu An to help wash the leaves and prepare dried grass leaves.

Responding to fans’ requests, Qu Tong had already announced on her way back that she would be live streaming either today or tomorrow.

Because Qu Tong wanted to record the complete process of making the delicious food, from washing to the finished product, it was all personally done by her.

Qu Tong started the live stream with a title, "Blue Star Era Local Specialty Cuisine 1——Immortal Tofu."

She decided to make a series, creating food videos, so that in the future, others would know how to make them and she might be able to eat these dishes outside without having to make them herself.

Although she found joy in cooking herself, sometimes even the same dish, when cooked by two different people, could result in two different flavors. The happiness of a foodie is in tasting the variety of cuisines.

As soon as the live stream started, waves of netizens flooded in, bringing with them many small gifts, of course.

This month alone, her live stream account had received over seven hundred thousand in tips, and after the platform’s commission, she still had nearly five hundred thousand.

Of course, three hundred thousand of that was thanks to Wen You and others’ efforts.

But she wouldn’t be able to withdraw it until next month.

Qu Tong placed the streaming sphere in the air and asked the butler and Xu An to step out of the filming range. This time, she chose the outdoor pavilion as the setting.

Qu Tong greeted the fans in the live stream room and rolled up her sleeves to wash her hands and get started, explaining as she worked.

"These leaves are the star of today’s dish, called Immortal Leaves. First, we need to wash them clean, adding a bit of salt while doing so."

"Then we blanch them in water hotter than 80 degrees Celsius to ’kill the green,’ stir a bit, and set aside to let the temperature drop."

Qu Tong then asked Xu An to bring some dry branches.

"Now, let’s make some plant ash."

"Why are we making plant ash?"

Seeing many people asking, Qu Tong specifically addressed the question.

While adding water to the plant ash, she explained, "Plant ash reacts with water to produce alkali, which will later react with the protein in the juice, causing the dispersed protein to rapidly coalesce."

At that moment, a comment sparked a heated discussion among the viewers.

"Am I the only one who noticed a man’s hands delivering dry branches and a bowl to the host?"

"I noticed too, don’t tell me it’s War God Your Highness?"

"Impossible, the Highness was still clearing Star Beasts at the border a couple of days ago, how could he have the time?"

"Then who is that?"

"Before, the direct streams of the Princess Consort always featured only the host."

"I want all the information on this man within 3 seconds."

"Prince Yuting, come quick! Some stinky man is courting the Princess Consort."

"Holy crap! What’s his rank, daring to compete with our Prince Yuting for his wife!"
