Chapter 21: 21 Spring Snow

Ye Fei was speaking right now, moreover, he was not spewing nonsense as one would expect. He was properly introducing the main ingredient for the benefit of his audience.

This was something that was absent in his first broadcast.

As Ye Fei looked at the soft tofu sitting quietly on the cutting board, he looked up and smiled. Though he could not see where the hidden camera was, he knew that his every movement was being transmitted live over the internet.

“I know that some of you might be disappointed by my choice of ingredient. However, I’m telling you now that this is no ordinary tofu. It has a very lovely name called ‘Spring Snow Tofu [1]’. Have any of you heard of it?”

“Spring Snow?”

Everyone was hanging upon Ye Fei’s every word now.

“Spring Snow, that’s a very good name, ah. It matches this snow white tofu very well,”

“Only the word snow could match this tofu’s beauty, spring snow has a very light feeling to it, fresh, fragile and pure.”

“That’s right, but how come I never heard of this tofu before? Could it be that this tofu came from some remote mountain village?”

Just as everyone was chatting leisurely with each other and marvelling over the majestic name Spring Snow, Tasting Everything Under Heaven suddenly threw a bunch of !!!!!!!!!!!!!! over the chat, it was followed by many repeats of that most unacceptable word — F***!

Every time this guy started cursing a storm, Tao Tie would feel depressed for his friend, “Hey Tasting Heaven, have you gone crazy?”

Tasting Everything Under Heaven immediately sent over a bunch of ‘I’ve gone crazy’ emoticons, “Spring Snow? This guy actually manage to get his hands on Spring Snow? He’s using Spring Snow Tofu? Am I dreaming?”

Tao Tie asked curiously, “You know this tofu?”

Tasting Everything Under Heaven immediately replied, “It’s Spring Snow, ah. Oh my ancestors. Oh, all the gods in heaven. Broadcaster, you’re sure the tofu you use is Spring Snow? You’re not lying to me?”

Since this Tasting Everything Under Heaven gave him a lot of rewards that first day of broadcasting, Ye Fei had authorized a direct mike link for him. Therefore, this guy was one of the few who could speak directly to Ye Fei live via a mike.

“As a broadcaster, one must have integrity, how could I lie to my dear fans.” 

Tasting Everything Under Heaven, “… …”

You’re really shameless, still dare to say this kind of words. Since you say it like this I really want to tell you, there may be many broadcasters with integrity, but you’re definitely not one of them, you know?

“Broadcaster Deity Ye, I just really want to know, is this tofu really is the legendary Spring Snow, let us please not talk about integrity, ok?”

Ye Fei said, “En, this really is the Spring Snow Tofu, this piece of tofu has the appearance akin to a flawless piece of white jade. White as snow, very tender and soft. This tofu is made using soybeans from White Horse River. Soybeans from this place are irrigated with water from the White Horse River, which gave the tofu its unusually white appearance. Moreover, they are very good for health… f*ck, what’s that?”

Ye Fei was so immersed in his explanation that he nearly jumped out of his skin when his laptop made an odd ‘ding dong’ noise.

He really thought his computer was breaking down! He still needed it to make money, ah!

However, when he reached the computer, he could only sit and stare stupidly at the screen. Nyooming across the screen was a splendid airplane, a bright and glorious luxury airplane.

“An airplane? Surely not? Isn’t this Tasting Everything Under Heaven way too generous? The first reward is not flowers, applause, candies or even cars, but a luxury plane? Isn’t one of those about ¥5,000 each?”

Ye Fei was not the only one dumbfounded. The rest of the viewers on the channel were also stunned.

“Hey… Tasting Heaven, you… what’s wrong with you?” Tao Tie asked nervously, his hands shook a little as he typed, he’d never thought that his friend’s first reward of the day would be a luxury plane, so reckless.

Tasting Everything Under Heaven, “That’s right, the broadcaster is right. I had some doubts about the authenticity of this Spring Snow Tofu. However, after hearing his explanation I’m now convinced that it is true. Only soybeans grown using the White Horse River water could be made into this unique tofu. This tofu was also given as imperial tribute in the ancient times.”

As he said this, Tasting Everything Under Heaven also gave Ye Chui an extra-large thumbs-up, and continued, “Broadcaster, you’re too amazing, really, I never thought that someone could actually get their hands on Spring Snow Tofu to make a dish. That’s because people who could get their hands on this tofu are the richest of the rich. This counts as my way of paying respect for this piece Spring Snow Tofu. Daddy will bestow a nice gift to you!”

At this, Tasting Everything Under Heaven gifted two more luxury planes.

The entire broadcast room exploded into noise.

“Local tyrant! Tasting Heaven is a local tyrant! Your mom, this is just the beginning but you’ve already gifted two more planes. I can’t take it, that’s already HX¥15,000, ah!”

Right that very moment, a hidden character with the username of I Am a Foodie sent up a shocked face emoji and declared, “How unexpected… How unexpected, ah. To think that I would get to set my eyes on the legendary Spring Snow Tofu on such a tiny channel. Broadcaster, I must say, you are too amazing, you’re awesomeness is too great, it’s ultra-awesome, please take these two planes as my inadequate respect.”

[2] Nyoom, nyoom ~~

Two more planes [2] nyoomed across Ye Fei’s computer screen.

Ye Fei, “… …”

The other viewers, “… …”

Just what was going on? Is this a local tyrant party or something? Just now Tasting Everything Under Heaven already awarded three luxury planes, and now this other local tyrant I Am a Foodie just dropped two more planes. Isn’t this just too reckless?

“Foodie Bro? Didn’t realise that I would see you here. Looks like great minds think alike, hahaha!” Tasting Everything Under Heaven laughed.

I Am a Foodie, “No matter what happens, catching a glimpse of this Spring Snow Tofu alone is worth the trip. Broadcaster, if you can create an excellent Cola Tofu [3] dish, I will not be stingy with the rewards.”

Ye Fei was completely dumbfounded, he had not imagined his luck to be so amazing. He had not even lit his stove yet but had already collected HX¥25,000 worth of rewards. Compared to yesterday, this was many times more amazing.

“I… I shall do my best,” Ye Fei said with a shaky voice.

After that incredible exchange, Ye Fei walked stiffly towards the kitchen. With his back to the computer, he did not see the sudden shower of rewards streaming past the computer screen. Applause, flowers, lollipops, motorbikes, and sports cars almost covered the entire surface.

These people were all foodies, people who loved gourmet food. When both Tasting Everything Under Heaven and I Am a Foodie dropped those luxury planes as rewards, the rest of them understood that this was no ordinary ingredient. For a broadcaster to go through such length to obtain a top-quality ingredient for their entertainment, if they don’t reward this kind of broadcaster, who should they reward, ah?

Thus, following this mindset, many of the viewers immediately showered Ye Fei with small rewards. The entire channel might as well be a storm of presents.

The statisticians at the FF Section all stared with bulging eyes as Ye Fei’s rewards piled up, the entire office was stunned.

“H… how can this be?” Liu Ping said in disbelief.

Tang Xiaomin had to rub her eyes a few times before saying faintly, “Am I looking at a software bug? How did things turn out this way?”

“It’s just a piece of tofu, how could it excite people so much? There are already 5 freaking luxury planes, 10 sports cars, 15 motorbikes and 23 electric cars as well as 40 or 50 bicycles. As for the flowers, claps and candies, they are uncountable, just too many.”

“God, this is the work of God, ah. Not even 15 minutes into the broadcast the rewards are already… wait, let me count, ten, hundred, thousand, ten-thousand… HX¥55,400, oh my God in heaven. Crazy, the world has gone crazy!”

“Is this really the work of an Iron Star Rank 1 broadcaster? Would even ghosts believe this?”

Most of the statisticians were shaken to the core. They have never seen this phenomenon before in their lives. They believed that not even the most popular Song & Dance broadcaster would have raked in such rewards. This guy had only been broadcasting for two days, an Iron Star Rank 1 newbie broadcaster. To obtain over HX¥50,000 worth of reward in more or less 10 minutes on their second day of broadcast. Has their system gone nuts, or has the world gone crazy? This was beyond outrageous, ah.

“Let’s inform the Supervisor!” Liu Ping stood up so suddenly that his chair clattered to the floor. Ignoring the overturned chair, he ran for Feng Tianlai’s office.

[Gumihou: …nyoom~~]

[1] Spring Snow Tofu – 阳春白雪 or ‘Elite Art and Literature’ Tofu is, sadly, made up by the author. I actually tried to search it, cross referencing it with the Bai Ma River, but all that came up is…chapter 21 of this novel, lol!

[2] Nyoom~

It was actually 刷 or ‘swish’ but Gumi has a particular fondness for ‘nyoom’ when it comes to flying things, so…

*blushes*

Cola Tofu: This dish is available in English and Youtube, so there’s no need to translate the recipe, please have a look and enjoy this odd dish. If anyone try it out, let me know what it tasted like!
