Chapter 42 -41: Maintaining a Relationship
Qu Tong returned home, and after planting the trees, sent away Li Kun and the other two.
Qu Tong opened the live streaming room, ready to make some candied haws.
In her past life, she would watch short videos when she had nothing to do, and she learned these simple snacks from those clips.
Now her followers had increased by several million, and a lot of fans poured in as soon as she started broadcasting.
“Woken up by my own handsomeness”: [Good afternoon, miss. What’s for dinner tonight?]
A silly roe deer: [Miss sister, long time no see, I’ve missed you.]]
Living allowance and old man both gone: [Can you sell more Energy Fruits and Vegetables, host? It’s impossible to grab any, and the dishes made from what’s bought outside aren’t as fragrant at all.]]
Sweet potato and taro bun: [Definitely, you’ve gone to the wrong store. You might as well take a look at Qu Family’s Manor. The fruits are big and fresh, and the vegetables are green and nutritious.]]
Danyi Xiaojiji: [It seems like something strange has snuck in here??]
Qu Tong looked up just in time to see the last few comments. Qu Family’s Manor, wasn’t that her aunt’s enterprise?
Qu Tong immediately blacklisted this ID and said, “Advertising is prohibited in the live stream, the quality of my family’s fruits is guaranteed, competitors please stay away.”
She wasn’t bragging, the cleanliness rate of the fruits and vegetables cultivated with her special ability was 100%, so it was impossible for there to be anything better than hers, at most on par.
[Host is domineering!]]
[Right, stay away.]]
[The fruits and vegetables from the host’s place are the best I’ve ever eaten.]]
[I’ve bought vegetables from Qu Family Farm, and they weren’t tasty.]]
[I’ve tried them too, definitely not tasty. They were not thoroughly purified, how can they compare to the host’s?]]
[Yes, their oranges were both small and sour, and outrageously expensive, I bought once and will definitely not buy a second time.]]
…
Sweet potato and taro bun, who failed to ride on the heat, ended up triggering a bunch of people in the live room to complain about her family’s manor’s products, staring at the screen with eyes red with anger.
Qu Tong ignored the discussions in the live room and explained while washing the ingredients, “Today we’re going to make a snack that children love to eat.”
[Whatever the host makes, I like.]]
[Energy fruits, they’re tasty no matter how you prepare them.]]
[Even a child of over 300 months loves to eat them, isn’t that right?]]
There are many types of candied haws, you can make them with hawthorn, strawberries, grapes, oranges, and more. You can also flatten the hawthorns and sprinkle white sesame seeds on them.
If you’re willing, you can mix and match as you like.

She hasn’t yet found grape seeds, and only orange trees are planted in the yard, not tangerine trees, so Qu Tong only prepared to make strawberry and hawthorn ones.
After washing the hawthorns and strawberries clean, she took out the bamboo sticks prepared in advance and threaded them. Because they were large, a bundle of five was enough; she made 23 bundles in total.
All the hawthorns were threaded, with some strawberries left over.
[Miss sister has really beautiful hands, just watching her make food is a pleasure.]]
[Isn’t it? Great minds think alike.]]
[Every dish is made from energy fruits, so envious.]]
She added one pound of sugar and half a pound of water to the pot, turned on medium heat, and stirred until bubbles formed before stopping the stirring to avoid sugar re-crystallization.
She then switched to low heat to continue boiling, waiting until large bubbles formed and the sugar turned yellow.
She dipped a part of the sugar with a bamboo stick, cooled it in water, and if the solidified sugar turned brittle then it was ready.
She tilted the pot with one hand and dipped each of the threaded hawthorns and strawberries into the syrup with the other, setting them aside to cool.
Finally, Qu Tong held the bamboo stick between her palms, rubbed it, and instantly sugar threads flew out, rolling them onto the candied haws while the sugar was still malleable.
That was the pulled sugar candied haw. Simple yet beautiful.
Seeing that a group of adults were so enthusiastic about candied haws, Qu Tong couldn’t help but chuckle.
Favoriting Fans said, “Code: Wishing the host prosperity soon! Take a screenshot in the barrage, and randomly give away two strings of candied hawthorns to each of 15 fans.”
The barrage instantly scrolled up, and Qu Tong was taking screenshots while reminding everyone, “The sugar on the hawthorns can melt over time, so don’t keep them for too long after receiving.”
“Those 15 fans, DM me your addresses,” Qu Tong released the screenshots and grabbed a string of strawberries, biting off one in a single bite.
Crunchy and sweet.
The giveaway ended, but people were still chatting and sending gifts in the live stream.
[The host is so blunt, just wants to get rich haha]
[There are so many people, I never get picked every time. Could you guys who got picked last time leave the chance to this old man in his thirties? Ever heard of respecting the elderly and loving the young?]
[Only a fool would miss out on a good deal, don’t kidnap my morals—I don’t have any.]
[To “fight” with you singles, I’ve even changed my brain-computer, and now my internet speed is super fast.]
[I have a friend who is about to die, and he wants to know your brain-computer link.]
…
After watching the netizens’ amusing chat for a while, Qu Tong said goodbye to her fans.
There were still over a dozen strings of candied hawthorns left, and Qu Tong had the butler robot send two strings to Xiang Bin.
As for those three, having Nutrient Solution to drink is good enough for them.
She wasn’t that kind-hearted after being bullied for three years; a few weeks of favor-currying wouldn’t change that.
After eating a string, Qu Tong didn’t plan to eat any more.
She liked sweets but didn’t like eating sugar directly.
It’s like some people love dairy products, ice cream, cakes, frozen treats, but just don’t like drinking plain milk.
Looking at the bright red candied hawthorns wrapped in pretty silver strands, Qu Tong thought Wen You would probably like them.
Only, she didn’t know which Legion Wen You was from, and she couldn’t be bothered to ask.
She didn’t watch her live stream or send her messages proactively; she was simply too busy and had no time for that.
The cheap husband with such a cold persona definitely wouldn’t eat them, and the Empress and the Emperor at their age probably wouldn’t like them either.
In the end, not thinking of anyone appropriate to enjoy the candied hawthorns, she simply sent all of them to Xu An.
Whether Xu An liked them or not, he could give them to the girls in the academy, who knows, he might have a crush on one of them.
Speaking of Si Yuting, she realized she hadn’t been in contact with him for a month.
Wow! Nearly forgot about him.
That big shot, gotta hold on tight.
Better maintain the relationship quickly.
Having consumed the Nutrient Solution today, she wasn’t planning on making dinner. What should she prepare?
Qu Tong went out to check the small garden in the courtyard.
She saw the lemon seeds she had casually thrown down when she needed lemon water for seasoning; they had apparently absorbed quite a bit of energy when she nurtured other plants with her Special Ability, as they were now bearing small green fruits.
Had the orange tree not been planted on the other side, she wouldn’t have noticed it was a lemon tree.
Qu Tong infused her Special Ability selectively, and soon the fruits became yellow and ripe.
Picking one, she decided to make some fruit tea—it was just what she felt like drinking.
While at it, Qu Tong also picked a couple of oranges and took out seeds of watermelon, kumquat, and passion fruit from her space and ripened them, taking one or two of each.
The sprouted plants were left to grow in the garden; ever since she added the central control system, the whole courtyard had become a core area, fully protected in all directions where no one could enter without her permission.
She took out various sized glass jars from her space, sterilized them with boiling water, and let them dry.
Steeped the green tea with boiling water.
She cut the watermelon into chunks, the oranges into slices, and scooped out the passion fruit pulp to use.
