The Marshal's Wife is Wild-Chapter 72 - 71 Backing the Scene in Reverse The Vest

The classes run by Paid Instructors consisted mostly of commoner students, nothing special.

Qu Tong’s current appearance had improved a lot compared to before, her complexion was better, her skin noticeably fairer, her physique not so frail, and there were some changes in her attire as well.

Even with the same name, no one recognized her.

In the Canaan Empire with a population of 7 billion, it was very normal to have the same name.

The Paid Instructor briefly arranged the upcoming courses and mentioned some points to note for new students, then had the older students in the class show the new students around to familiarize them with the environment.

Qu Tong was an exception.

She returned to her dorm alone, not wanting to tidy up her room, so she went online to order a domestic robot, paying extra for teleportation delivery.

The item arrived in just over ten minutes, delivered right to the doorstep of her dorm by the logistic station’s intelligent delivery vehicle.

Looking at the robot with a blue head and rounded limbs, Qu Tong activated it according to the manual and entered a new name for the robot—Amu.

Coincidentally, her family’s robot at home was called Adai.

Qu Tong simply laid out a bed and then handed all other tasks over to Amu.

There was an opening ceremony in the afternoon that required the attendance of all new students and first-year older students.

After several bowls of motivational speeches were poured down their throats, many new students were full of fighting spirit, while the older ones appeared unrattled, like pigs not afraid of scalding water.

Qu Tong, who just wanted to take it easy, wasn’t affected in the slightest and even felt a bit drowsy.

After listening to hours of speeches, Qu Tong was completely numb.

How could that old man talk so much? Didn’t his mouth get dry?

With nearly half a day of activities left, the school didn’t mandate boarding, so Qu Tong didn’t stay any longer than necessary.

Upon returning to the manor, she saw the butler and Qianqian gesturing around a burlap sack on the ground, which was bulging irregularly as if it were filled with something, making it look much like the kind of bag that elderly scavengers would use to collect scrap metal by the roadside.

“What are you doing?” Qu Tong approached.

“Madam, your parcel. We weren’t sure what it contained, so we didn’t dare touch it, fearing we might damage it.”

Hmm?

Qu Tong approached with curiosity and felt the sack.

She immediately realized what it was—the day before, Xiang Bin had messaged her that the corn by the house was ripe, and she asked him to send some over.

But looking at the large burlap sack in front of her, Qu Tong fell into thought.

There hadn’t been much corn planted, and unlike small tomatoes and strawberries that could bear fruit multiple times, Xiang Bin probably sent over half of the cornfield’s harvest.

Well, it was already delivered, so might as well eat it.

Not long after her last livestream, Qu Tong contacted Xiang Bin and started another livestream, ready to promote her family’s products.

Soon, the live chat filled with messages:

“[The mushroom feast the host taught us last time was quite tasty. I’m looking forward to seeing what delicious food there will be this time.]

[Almost missed it, could the streamer give a heads-up before going live next time?]

[I love everything the streamer makes.]

[I like it too, I really want to kidnap the streamer home in a sack.]

[Kidnapping is illegal, you’ll eat prison food for that. Remember to bring your torn sack to court.]

[Ahahaha, I’m just thinking out loud, that’s too cruel.]

[It’s starting, it’s starting, today’s sinfully delicious food, slurp~]

Qu Tong was peeling corn while watching the barrage of comments.

“Today, we’re going to cook a type of crop that will soon be on sale at our store—corn.”

“I’ll try to notify everyone a day in advance for my next live stream.”

“Enjoy the live stream, folks. Keep the comments friendly, and let’s not get sidetracked, alright?”

[Haha, the streamer is so cute, what if I want to put her in a sack even more now?]

[Me too, does the streamer like pink sacks?]

Qu Tong: “…”

These netizens are quite a handful to deal with.

But it’s alright, they’re all a bunch of energetic and devoted fans.

Qu Tong showcased the peeled corn in front of the camera, her slender and fair fingers holding the glistening, plump kernels, making viewers yearn to reach through the screen and bite into it.

There was quite a lot of corn, so Qu Tong decided to prepare it using various methods: pan-frying, stir-frying, boiling, baking, steaming—each technique would be demonstrated.

First came the easiest one—boiling the corn.

She trimmed a section off the end of the corn with the tassels and peeled away the outer leaves, leaving a few tender green inner leaves before placing the corn on the steam rack.

“When steaming corn, you don’t need to remove all the leaves. Keeping a few inner leaves can enhance the corn’s fragrance.”

“Steaming over water helps better retain the corn’s moisture and sweetness. Of course, you can also steam it directly in water. For sticky corn, you can add a bit of sugar, but our corn is sweet enough without needing to add any.”

“If you’re steaming with boiling water, 10-15 minutes should do it. If you start with cold water, just extend the time a bit.”

Qu Tong tirelessly explained these little tips.

Suddenly, the live chat was taken over by two luxurious aircraft effects that dominated the big screen.

Immediately, it caused a stir among the viewers.

[Damn, I got a face full of that effect.]

[Where did this tycoon come from?]

[What kind of show off is this? Comes in and drops aircraft, freaking awesome!]

[Not just one but two! I’m so jealous it’s making my eyes turn red!]

It wasn’t just two, there followed two more ‘Nymph Scatter Flowers’ effects, leaving the entire audience dumbstruck and turning them into lemon spirits.

Watching from off-screen, Qu Tong was momentarily stunned. If she remembered correctly, these two virtual props cost 99,999 Star Coins and 108,000 Star Coins, respectively.

Normally, the donations in the live stream were mostly small gifts, worth maybe a few dozen or a couple of hundred. The most she had received was donations of around ten or twenty thousand. This was the first time someone had thrown down donations worth 100,000 Star Coins, and it was a four-hit combo at that.

Then Qu Tong saw several shiny comments float past:

Fen Yunqi: [Hey, sister-in-law! I’m the boss’s most reliable subordinate. Please remember my face!]

May: [Sister-in-law, we’ve come to support you.]

Idiot Insect Clan Take My Punch: [Awww! Sister-in-law is the best! Go, sister-in-law, I’m your most loyal fan and will always support you!]

Wen Yisheng: [Sorry, I didn’t close the door properly and let them run out.]

The live stream audience went wild.

[Ahhh! I recognize that account and avatar. I’ve seen them in our school’s military lectures, it’s Major Cheng Feng of the First Army Corps!!]
