Chapter 38: Raising a Pig

【Ah, boss, boss, what kind of divine delicacy is this? How can something be this delicious?!!!】

【I really like the box this time, it's all pink and tender, so pretty!】

【I think the lunch box I got is great, especially practical. The insulation effect is particularly good; I feel like I can use it for my little cub's production.】

【Well, my box is super beautiful, it could even be considered an art piece.】

【The box or whatever isn't important, I just want to know when the boss can stock more food! It's not enough to eat! It's completely not enough to eat!】

……

The shop's reviews became increasingly lively, and loyal customers even spontaneously established a topic board on the largest social networking site in the Interstellar.

It has already piled up into a very high thread.

Whoever managed to snatch food didn't dare to post it on their social circle; at the beginning, everyone posted it.

But once it was posted in the social circle and seen by friends and family, it was definitely not going to be kept.

That was all a story of bitter tears!

You can't post it in the social circle, but you still want to show off, so what to do?

Then post it on the topic board.

The long-suppressed desire to show off was released all at once.

Not only were there photos from every angle without blind spots, GIFs, but also various short essays and reviews after eating.

Some even collected this scent and made it into data that could be sampled.

Anyone who clicked in would be conquered by this scent.

23rd Floor: What is this? Why is it so fragrant? It made me hungry.

34th Floor: Is this a new scent from some Nutrient Solution company? It's seducing me into wanting to buy it.

57th Floor: Didn't you look at the board? This is food sold by a shop!

78th Floor: Oh my mother, my saliva is already flowing out. Where did you buy it? Begging for an address!

90th Floor: Don't even think about it, I won't tell you. If I tell you, how would we even be able to buy any?

123rd Floor: Is it really that delicious? Suspect/Suspect/Suspect/

134th Floor: It's fake, it's all fake, don't believe it, definitely don't go buy it! Dog head/

135th Floor: Yes, yes, yes, it's not delicious at all.

136th Floor: Yes, yes, yes, what the thread starter posted is all fake, you guys better not buy it!

146th Floor: Picking nose/ Why do I feel like the people above are deliberately saying the opposite?

……

What was unexpected was that the fragrance in this board was reposted to the largest social networking site in the Interstellar.

The person who reposted it was even a small blogger with over a million followers.

He even became a little popular because of this scent data.

The comments, reposts, and likes were the highest for a single post.

#Fragrant enough to make me hungry#

#Divine taste#

It even exploded with two trending topics, but a big celebrity announced their retirement from the industry, which immediately diverted most people's attention.

Otherwise, Ruan Mian would have been exposed long ago.

However, it still made her a little bit popular.

When she entered the shop, she clearly saw that the messages flooding into her backend had increased by a lot.

Most people were still curious if the food from her shop was really that delicious.

More people were urging her to stock up quickly.

Ruan Mian was a little surprised, but also felt it was within reason.

After all, what she had in her hands were plants that were extinct in the Interstellar; judging by everyone's degree of love for the meals during this time, she knew that her becoming a hit was only a matter of time.

But the most important thing now, what she wanted most, was to raise a little pig, and later, if possible, raise cows and sheep as well.

Then she could have hot pot later.

Just thinking about the fresh, fragrant, numbing, and spicy hot pot made her want to drool.

After searching in the Light Brain, there were indeed pigs: pink ones, black ones, spotted ones, brown ones, and several other colors.

She didn't know if the color palette had gone off the rails...

But the price was also quite beautiful, "Damn, a pig only costs five hundred Interstellar Coins?"

That's too, too, too cheap!

There wouldn't be any problems with this, right?

Never mind, buy one first to see?

With a ding, a message came from the Light Brain.

【Huo Junze: What are you eating today?】

Oh right, how could she forget there was still this capitalist, Huo Junze!

【Ruan Mian: I'm planning to buy a pig, but they are all so cheap!】

Huo Junze was a little surprised; she was actually interested in pigs too.

But then thinking of the group of chickens in her yard, he probably guessed a little of what she wanted to do.

【Huo Junze: Are you raising a pig to eat? According to the information I understand, pigs eat a lot, are not very easy to raise, and their feces are extremely foul, plus they have offensive power.】

In summary, it's not as good as raising chickens.

And such a foul animal, he didn't know what was worth eating.

If Ruan Mian knew that was what President Huo was thinking, she would definitely despise him for it.

That is because he has never tasted the deliciousness of a large pork knuckle.

【Ruan Mian: So, is it because they eat so much that the average person can't afford to raise them, which is why they are sold so cheaply?】

Can eat, just how much can it eat?

It's not like she didn't raise pigs when she was little, and it's not like she can't afford to raise one.

As for the smell, please look at the aforementioned little chicks.

Since those fishy-smelling eggs could become so delicious, perhaps she could try it out too.

【Huo Junze: That should be it; pets are a niche market after all, and pigs are quite prolific.】

Oh right, she forgot, people here don't eat pork, so it isn't that expensive.

Then she absolutely must buy, buy, buy right away!

She placed the order immediately, and with a 'ding', the payment was successful; the pink and tender little pig she had selected was already packed into a pet crate and arrived in her Light Brain.

Having the precedent of the hundred-thousand-man, Ruan Mian did not hesitate at all and took the cage out immediately.

When she saw the piglet in the cage, she was about to shed tears.

This is even more miserable than the cow at Xiao Ying's house!

The pig's ribs are clearly visible, and the spine on its back is protruding in distinct lumps.

Truly, even a pig fleeing from a disaster wouldn't be this miserable!

With a 'wail', a sudden shriek rang out, startling Ruan Mian so much that she lost her footing, her whole body falling backward, and it looked like she was about to tumble down.

"Careful—"

There was no pain of landing on her bottom as she had imagined; instead, she fell into a warm embrace that carried a faint, fresh scent.

Looking up, a handsome face entered her line of sight.

It was Huo Junze.

"Are you okay?"

His warm breath brushed against her face, and Ruan Mian felt as if the surrounding air had heated up by several degrees.

Only at such a close distance did she realize that Huo Junze's skin was truly excellent—smooth, delicate, and without a single blemish.

It was also very fair; it really made one jealous!

Thinking this, her hand uncontrollably reached out to stroke that cheek.

The texture was truly wonderful, even better than she had imagined!

Huo Junze did not expect that she would...

A person who always had a cleanliness obsession was actually stunned, and the first thought in his mind was not to pull away.

Instead, it was: Her hand, so soft.

The tips of his ears, hidden beneath his hair, gradually began to flush red, and only then did Ruan Mian realize how suggestive her actions were.

"Ahem," she immediately pulled her hand back, "Um, I just saw there was some dirt on your face..."

"Mm, thank you."

His voice was very low, tinged with an unusual emotion that was unclear and hard to define...
