Chapter 7: Mapo Tofu

Ling Xuan never heard a case of when a brother is looking for a relationship, the criteria is whether his sister likes the girl.

But Ling Xuan couldn't stand the little girl's noisy chattering. Besides, he wouldn't like a woman who is not good to his family.

He was a little impatient and said, "I'll find someone who is good to our parents and you."

Ling Yaoyao wanted to faint. She asked quietly, "Brother, are you really going to start looking for someone?"

Ling Yaoyao is now a brother con. It's not unreasonable to be clingy with this attribute.

In her previous life, Ling Yaoyao was an orphan and lived with her grandmother.

The only brother and sister she ever had come into contact with is her uncle's cousin, who is only a few months younger than her. He was a nasty little fat guy who likes to grab everything from her, whether it's to eat, play, or use.

If she is not happy, she will be told off by her uncle and aunt. They will say that she did not act like a good sister!

Even her grandma would always tell her that she is an older sister, so she must let her younger brother be!

So, she has to fight for what she wants.

Even afterward, when her cousin grew taller than her, her uncle and aunt still said "you are the older sister. Let your younger brother get what he wants." They intended that when her grandma leaves, her old restaurant will also be snatched away. Obviously, they have already occupied the old house left by grandma.

Since she was a child, Ling Yaoyao has been envious of other people's children with elder brothers and sisters, especially Wang Xiaohua upstairs. She is tender and weak, but no one in the whole community dares to bully her, because she has an older brother, Wang Dashu, who is four years older than her and a leader in the community. Whoever bullies his sister will surely get beaten up until they go home crying! If Wang Dashu has anything delicious, he will keep a portion for his sister! Even Ling Yaoyao, who had a good relationship with Wang Xiaohua, also enjoy this blessing.

This made Ling Yaoyao envious. She especially hoped that there was an older brother who would unconditionally protect her no matter what happened.

In "Legend of Huanuo", Ling Xuan usually has very little contact with Ling Yaoyao. However, he provoked the brothers, Xiao Ming and Xiao Zhen, because of the original owner. Before Xiao Ming schemed to cause him a mental breakdown, he stood up to defend her and seek revenge for her.

Now she has become the Ling Yaoyao of the Huanuo Empire. Her first happiness is to have her parents. Unfortunately, her parents are not at home all the time, and there is a generation gap with her.

The second happiest thing is to have an older brother, Ling Xuan!

Finally, the plan to hug her brother's thigh was carried out smoothly, and now Ling Xuan let her hug his arms!

If her elder brother has another woman, which woman would like her man to be too close to his sister who is unrelated by blood?

Ling Yaoyao grabbed Ling Xuan's big hand. She subconsciously scratched the thin calluses in his palm. She blinked and continued to act like a baby, "Brother, brother, can't you find a girlfriend later? Wait for me to grow up."

The little girl's hands were white and tender, soft as if it's boneless, small, and very light, making him a little distraught.

Ling Xuan withdrew his hand and asked in a cold voice, "Wait for you to grow up? Why?"

If people who didn't know their relationship heard these words, they would mistake the little girl's words for... confession.

Although they legally have the status of brother and sister, they are indeed not related by blood.

Ling Xuan's heart jumped suddenly. Wouldn't the little girl mean that...

She said before when she is looking for a boyfriend, she will find someone according to his standards...

When Grandpa introduced him to a blind date, the little girl showed strong possessive desire and dissatisfaction...

Maybe because she thinks he is very reliable, she mistook the relationship between brother and sister as... something else.

How can he refuse the little girl without hurting her self-esteem and reverse her wrong perception of the word "like"?

Soon, Ling Xuan realized that he was thinking too much.

Ling Yaoyao's tone was quite natural when she said, "Because I will fall in love by then, and I won't haunt you anymore! Don't you forbid me to fall in love now?!"

Ling Xuan's heart rises and falls, but he is not sure if it is because of her loose tone or something else that he was not clear about.

He was a little irritable. He pushed Ling Yaoyao, who was trying to study the muscles on his arm again and sat back down to the other side. He said, "Sit down properly. A girl should look like a girl! Don't wrap around me!"

Ling Yaoyao sat down obediently, holding her face in her hands, and smirked, "Brother, am I annoying? Then I'll pester you tomorrow! Or would you allow me to fall in love? I can change this personal entanglement!"

Ling Xuan, who has a headache: "..."

The Nighthawks, which has a hundred thousand people, is not as difficult as this little sister!

Fortunately, they soon arrived at the main residence of the Ling family.

It was already ten o'clock in the middle of the night.

Internet addiction girl, Ling Yaoyao, washed and changed her clothes to a nightdress. She happily lay in the virtual cabin and went to the Star Network.

Ling Yaoyao's first concern was on the virtual complementary food she had sold on the Star Network before she went out in the afternoon, the fried cucumber with perilla.

After logging into the personal account on the platform, a series of system notification messages appeared.

Ling Yaoyao was a little shocked after reading it roughly. 'Huh? 100 copies were all sold out!'

Are people so stupid with a lot of money? Isn't it a bit too much!

Ling Yaoyao then checked the detailed sales records and the comments left behind.

It was soon discovered that there were actually only two people who bought her food!

The ID of the first customer is called "I am stingy," and the second customer is called "Zhen."

Moreover, the time of purchase of the two people was very close. It was like two friends were visiting the virtual mall on Starnet, looking for complimentary food, and when one learned something delicious, they immediately recommended it to their friends.

However!

The comments and ratings of these two people were not helpful for Ling Yaoyao!

"I am stingy" 's rating: deliciousness index: five stars. Auxillary therapy effect: 20% (0~20% optional).

Message: "The best cucumber I've ever eaten! Owner boss, ask for more! QAQ

On the contrary, "zhen"'s rating: deliciousness index: one star. Auxillary therapy effect: 0% (0~20% optional) .

Message: "Expensive and unpalatable! Don't buy it, everyone!"

Ling Yaoyao, who sold cucumbers and earned 10,000 more credits, was still happy.

'I'll take it! If it doesn't taste good. Why did you rush to buy more than half of it?!'

Suppose it's a reward-type supplementary food taste test. In that case, if the customer eats it and writes an unhelpful review, she can report it. But for this kind of customer who has paid for the, she can't manage how they rate the message.

Ling Yaoyao looked through the existing first-level materials she still has on hand.

Soon, she decided on her next complementary food—Mapo Tofu.

Mapo tofu is a classic Sichuan dish. The main ingredients are tofu, minced meat (pig), chili, and Chinese pepper.

Among them, the seasoning, peppercorn, is both a food ingredient and a medicinal material. Ling Yaoyao didn't put the pepper but used the essence of the pepper.

The finished soup is red and bright, the tofu is snow-white, and it is dotted with green onions. The visual effect is very good. The smell is strong, and the tofu is tender and smooth in the mouth. It is hot, numbing, spicy, and fresh. It is a good delicacy for dinner.

Ling Yaoyao divided Mapo Tofu into one hundred portions and placed it in the "Reward Area" of the virtual supplementary food section. She offered a reward of 0.01 credits per portion and also limited each person to have a maximum of 5 portions.

There is no white rice to go with it. Even if the customer eats five portions of Mapo tofu, with the heavy chili and pepper extract, their mouth will be so hot and lose its taste!

With 0.01 credit points, it belongs to the reward area. Therefore, people must comment well, not all spam comments!

The previous two wonderful customers have paid attention to Ling Yaoyao's personal store. They must be notified of her new products. Especially the one named "Zhen." If this person gave her a bad review this time, she would put him on the blacklist!

After doing all this, Ling Yaoyao quit the virtual cabin. She yawned, laid down on the bed, and fell asleep in seconds.

But Ling Xuan, who was a little tired before, was lying on the big bed in his room, but he was extremely awake and couldn't sleep.

Even though he knows that this afternoon's accident was unlikely to happen again, he subconsciously wore a pair of underwear and didn't dare to sleep naked.

After finally falling asleep, there was still a certain annoying little girl in his dream, with a sweet smile on her facial features and softly calling him, "Brother, brother--"

The magical sound was ringing in his ears, and it was endless!

He thought it should be a nightmare, but when he woke up early the next morning, Ling Xuan found... some kind of common phenomenon when adolescent boys got up in the morning... even though he is usually "frigid"...

Ling Xuan's handsome face turned dark. He threw his dirty underwear and sheets into the washing machine.

He thought that if he had been in contact with Ling Yaoyao a lot, he would become accustomed to her... But the development seemed to be different from what he expected!
