Such thoughts completely changed when she tasted the first piece of braised pork.

 

Li Qiuqui’s hands moved quickly, and the rich fragrance of the braised pork filled her mouth. The aroma rushed straight to her brain, and her mind had only one thought—

 

Eat! Eat! Eat!!

 

Bai Xianzhi placed a glass of water next to her, but she didn’t react at all. Her heart, eyes, and mouth were filled only with braised pork, braised pork!

 

As for Da bai, who was that? Was it important compared to braised pork?

 

It wasn’t until she returned home that Li Qiuqui’s mouth still savored the taste of the braised pork. Excitedly, she opened her phone, wanting to recommend it to the fans of Da bai, but she found that there were only a few recorded videos on Da bai’s homepage. She quickly left a comment under Da bai’s latest video:

【Qiuqui Autumn】: Ahhhhh! Today, I went to Da bai’s Three Thousand Food House! The braised pork made by Da bai himself is so delicious!! Even now, the taste is still lingering in my mouth. It’s really fragrant!! And Da bai is so handsome too! Super handsome! He looks even better than in the livestream room!! Ahhhhh! I love it, I love it!

 

Bai Xianzhi, who had some free time, opened his phone and saw this comment. With a thought, he understood that the girl in the floral dress today was this ‘Qiuqui Autumn.’ So, he replied, “Thank you for your visit. Welcome again!”

 

Seeing this reply, Li Qiuqui hugged her phone and lay on the bed, exclaiming, “Ahhhhh!” Her mother called from outside the door, “Qiuqui, what’s wrong?”

 

Li Qiuqui: “…It’s nothing!”

…..

As a member of the Orc Rabbit Clan, Tu Linlin had a common problem that most rabbit clan members had: being timid. However, he had an additional problem compared to other rabbit clan members: He is afraid of communicating with strangers, and when he sees a crowd of people, he feels scared. When speaking to strangers, he stutters, and once he stutters, he becomes even more reluctant to speak in front of strangers.

 

So he stayed in the small courtyard left by his parents, growing carrots, and managing to get by.

 

However, in the past two days, Tu Linlin has been very anxious. A few days ago, in a fit of anger, he made an appointment with someone online on the Tongtong website to do a livestream at the Three Thousand Food House. As time passed, he noticed that more and more people were paying attention to his post. This means that there might be an increasing number of viewers for the livestream, and just the thought of appearing in front of so many people made Tu Linlin’s legs go weak and his palms sweat.

 

He wished that all these internet friends would forget about this matter. Tu Linlin thought about it every day. But unfortunately, things didn’t go as he had hoped. On the scheduled day, he opened the post and saw numerous comments from internet users:

 

【Leopard Brother Dedicated to Exposing Frauds】: Bunny! Bunny! When will the livestream start? Or have you already run away?

【Light of Justice from the Bear Clan】: I think that’s probably it. Tell me, who can eat at the Three Thousand Food House a second time after the first? The bunny definitely ran away!

【Siren in the Sea】: Hahaha, I thought I could watch a good show, but I didn’t expect the bunny to be such a coward. It’s so disappointing!

【Advocating for the Reputation of the Canine Clan】: That’s enough. It’s confirmed. Don’t ever mention the Canine Clan when making bets with people. Clearly, it’s the Rabbit Clan that’s untrustworthy!

 

All these comments illuminated Tu Linlin’s face through the screen of his device. He gritted his teeth and replied, “I’m heading there right now. I’ll post the livestream link once I arrive at the Three Thousand Food House!”

 

Although he was timid and afraid, he couldn’t let his actions tarnish the reputation of the Rabbit Clan. Tu Linlin picked up his device, took some money, and headed straight for the Three Thousand Food House.

 

“Sir, c-could I have a p-plate of pork and cabbage?” he stammered.

 

At the sound of the familiar voice, Bai Xianzhi looked up and saw the familiar white rabbit ears. He grinned and said, “Well, well, you dare to come back, huh?”

 

Taking a few steps forward, Bai Xianzhi grabbed the hand of the young man with rabbit ears and sternly said, “Kid, give me back the forty yuan you owe me for the meal!”

 

The young man with rabbit ears was suddenly attacked. His eyes turned red instantly, and tears welled up as he looked at Bai Xianzhi with a crying tone, “I-I gave you the money!”

 

Four transparent coins were slapped onto the table with a loud “snap.” Bai Xianzhi laughed out loud, “I wanted Chinese yuan, not game coins!”

 

The young man with rabbit ears cried with grievances, “B-but I… only have a-animal… coins. I don’t have any other money. The Three Thousand… Food House… doesn’t it… have an exchange machine…? I’ll… I’ll go… exchange.”

 

Bai Xianzhi was a bit stunned. He only asked the young man with rabbit ears for money, but ended up making him cry?

 

Quickly releasing the young man with rabbit ears, Bai Xianzhi felt embarrassed and watched as the sniffling young man picked up the four coins from the table and walked to the entrance of the Three Thousand Food House. He reached out his hand and tapped on the white wall to the right of the rolling door, and a sky-blue screen instantly popped up, displaying a few curved characters: Temporal Bank Exchange Machine – Three Thousand Food House Branch.

 

Bai Xianzhi: ???

 

What suddenly appeared in his shop?

 

Moreover, wasn’t that curved thing the unique communication method between him and his uncle when he was a child? Why did it appear here, and why was it displaying such content?

 

At that moment, the young man with rabbit ears turned around and asked in a trembling voice, “W-what currency do you want?”

 

Bai Xianzhi, still in a daze, replied, “Chinese yuan.”

 

One minute later, the young man with rabbit ears actually came back holding four bright red Mao Zedong banknotes. “H-here, this is what you wanted… Chinese yuan.”

 

Taking the money, Bai Xianzhi suddenly came to his senses. He took out three notes and handed sixty yuan to the young man, pulling out another forty from his pocket. “There’s extra money. Forty yuan is enough.”

 

The young man with rabbit ears looked at the money in his hand as if he had encountered a flood or a ferocious beast. His eyes reddened, and he retreated, saying, “N-no, I-I don’t need it. This… this is exchanged for… forty animal coins.”

 

Animal coins?

 

Those transparent circular coins?

 

With an exchange rate of 1:10 with Chinese yuan?

 

Combined with the unfamiliar term and the earlier appearance of the screen, Bai Xianzhi realized that something was amiss. He said, “I’m sorry, I’ve never seen animal coins before, so I misunderstood you. I apologize.”

 

The young man with rabbit ears quickly waved his hands and said, “I-it’s okay. Nowadays… many people… use temporal coins for payment. It’s normal if you haven’t seen them.”

 

Bai Xianzhi smiled gently, completely devoid of the previous intimidating aura. He asked, “Since animal coins are rarely used, why are you still using them?”

 

The smile on Bai Xianzhi’s face eased the worries of a young man with rabbit ears. Lowering his head, he stammered, “I… I don’t have money… Animal coins were exchanged..The transaction fees for temporal coins are too high.”

 

Tu Linlin didn’t doubt for a moment that Bai Xianzhi had ulterior motives when he asked him the question. Even though he had social anxiety, he knew that the owner of the Three Thousand Food House was not an ordinary person.

 

Countless people on the Tongtong website speculated about how a restaurant could be opened within a spatial rift, achieving something that even the Temporal Group, a behemoth, couldn’t do. The owner of the Three Thousand Food House must be a member of the Divine Clan. Even if he wasn’t, there must be a presence of the Divine Clan behind him!

 

Among the thousands of races in the Three Thousand Realms, the Divine Clan was undoubtedly the strongest. They were born with immense power and had extremely long lifespans. They were the only race in the Three Thousand Realms that could travel through space without needing to replenish temporal energy.

 

However, the Divine Clan was very mysterious. There was almost no information about them on the Tongtong website, and no one had personally seen a member of the Divine Clan because the Divine Realm was the only place that couldn’t be reached through spatial travel.

 

Due to this mystery, some even doubted the existence of the Divine Clan. It was at this time that a major news broke on the Tongtong website about intermarriage between the Divine Clan and the Dragon Clan, finally bringing the Divine Clan into the view of the thousands of races.

 

Tu Linlin could still vividly recall the shock he felt when he saw the Divine Clan member on the Tongtong website. The person had sparkling silver hair like starlight, indifferent and distant eyes, and an overwhelming aura that could be felt even through the screen, suppressing all other races…

 

Tu Linlin secretly glanced at the owner in front of him. Previously, the owner of the Three Thousand Food House never showed his face. Although this current owner revealed his face, he completely lacked the oppressive aura of the Divine Clan. It must be someone sent by the Divine Clan.

 

Bai Xianzhi had no idea what Tu Linlin was thinking. He managed to extract quite a bit of information just by asking a question.

 

At this moment, Bai Xianzhi realized that the strange guest mentioned in his uncle’s letter should be a presence similar to the young man with rabbit ears in front of him. To avoid exposing that he knew nothing about this matter, Bai Xianzhi didn’t ask further. He looked at the young man with rabbit ears and gave a standard toothy smile, saying, “I apologize for not asking earlier, but is there something specific you want to do at the Three Thousand Food House this time?”

 

Tu Linlin sheepishly lowered his head and said, “I… I want… to do a livestream here.”

 

“A livestream?” Bai Xianzhi was a bit surprised. It was such a familiar term.

 

Tulinlin answered softly, “Last time… I ate… something here… and it was delicious. I posted it… on the Tongtong website… but… no one believed… they asked me to… livestream… for them to… believe.”

 

“I see. That’s alright, feel free to do it,” Bai Xianzhi didn’t mind at all. Even if the guest was strange, as long as they paid, the more the better. Not to mention the exchange rate between animal coins and Chinese yuan being 1:10. How would that so-called temporal coin fit into the picture?

 

With the owner’s permission, Tu Linlin started the livestream. He didn’t want to show his face and instead turned the camera around to give a view of the surroundings of the Three Thousand Food House. At the same time, he softly introduced, “This is… the Three Thousand Food House.”

 

When the camera turned to Bai Xianzhi, he immediately smiled and waved at the camera, saying, “Hello, everyone. I am the new owner of the Three Thousand Food House. We have introduced many new dishes, such as braised pork, stuffed cabbage rolls with pork, and egg fried rice. You are welcome to come and taste them at the Three Thousand Food House!”

 

After introducing himself to the camera, Bai Xianzhi looked at the young man with rabbit ears and asked, “Sir, what would you like to order today?”

 

Feeling relieved because of Bai Xianzhi’s initiative, Tu Linlin whispered, “Pork… and cabbage.”

 

Bai Xianzhi smiled and said, “Alright, but the stir-fried cabbage with pork has been taken off the menu. We only have stuffed cabbage rolls with pork. Is that okay with you?”

 

No more stir-fried cabbage with pork? But his livestream was specifically for eating stir-fried cabbage with pork!

 

Tu Linlin hesitated for a moment. Then, he noticed the comments in the livestream:

 

【666Sheep】: The Three Thousand Food House changed owners? So handsome!!

【Siren in the Sea】: What is braised pork? What is egg fried rice? They are all pork and cabbage dishes. What’s the difference between stir-fried cabbage with pork and stuffed cabbage rolls with pork?

【Light of Justice from the Bear Clan】: Maybe one sounds more high-end, but I bet it’s the same thing. Bunny, just agree!

【Ant Crusher】: Right! Bunny, remember to order two portions! Hahaha!

【Quiet Little Tree】: Look what I found! Someone is livestreaming eating pork and cabbage at the Three Thousand Food House! Are people really willing to sacrifice their lives for a hot topic like this?

【Fierce Mammoth】: Host, please hurry and place your order! I can’t wait to see you eating pork and cabbage. Hurry up! What’s the difference anyway, it’s all pork and cabbage?

Tu Linlin withdrew his gaze and nodded gently, “Yes! Okay! Please… give me… two portions of stuffed cabbage rolls with pork.”

 

Bai Xianzhi smiled professionally, “Sure, please wait a moment.”

 

Before entering the kitchen, Bai Xianzhi suddenly paused. He looked at the young man with rabbit ears and suggested, “Sir, you can do a livestream in the kitchen too. I believe everyone would like to see the kitchen of the Three Thousand Food House.”

 

Tu Linlin’s eyes lit up. He was wondering how to pass the waiting time, and he asked, “Really… Is it really possible?”

 

Bai Xianzhi smiled, “Of course.”

 

Upon hearing this, the viewers in Tu Linlin’s livestream erupted in excitement:

 

【AhAhAhAh! The kitchen of the Three Thousand Food House! The place that made me gnash my teeth! I can finally see it!】

【Kitchen! Kitchen!!】

【The place that can make pork and cabbage stir-fry, I’m coming!】

【I absolutely must keep my eyes wide open and see how they make the pork and cabbage stir-fry that I couldn’t eat for seven days!!】

【Give the host a little flower. Host, you must not back out halfway. I want to see the entire process of making the pork and cabbage stir-fry!!!】
