Chapter 283: Chapter 281: Quietly Waiting for Flowers to Bloom

The Empress rambled on and on, but the Crown Prince remained unmoved.

Gradually losing her patience, she slammed her palm onto the table with a smack.

“I don’t care, your father, the King and I both enjoy watching Little River Live. How can it be against the rules? Clearly, it’s that fat old man from the Chi Family, seeking revenge out of jealousy for their seeds.”

“Mother, watch your speech.”

“Watch my speech my ass!” The Empress finally let her true self show, with a grand wave of her hand, the servants who had been waiting inside the room withdrew until it was just the three of them left.

“Eldest, I’ve had it with the Chi Family for a long time. Now is the opportunity to deal with them; don’t let them think that just because they’ve got some seeds, they can strut around as they please.”

The Empress’s words were, in fact, what the Crown Prince was thinking, he just wouldn’t show such emotions outwardly.

The King, who had been sitting all this while, also spoke up.

“Eldest, regarding the seed issue, if it’s true, no matter their intention, what they are doing is good, it’s beneficial for the development of interstellar society.”

The Crown Prince nodded, saying in the direction of his father, “Your Majesty, I understand.”

“Good, dear, come back for dinner, let Eldest handle it himself.”

The Empress looked at the father and son, who always spoke in halves, and couldn’t help but purse her lips in silent exasperation. A couple of sly foxes, and just a Chi Family to take care of.

What can the Chi Family do, no matter how strong they are when the army is in the hands of the Royal Family? That’s the fundamental truth.

In fact, the Crown Prince wasn’t truly afraid of the Chi Family; it’s that the King valued balance and even though the Chi Family was arrogant and overbearing, they made for a good target.

As for the current situation with Little River Live, he still needed to observe a bit longer.

And there were many others who shared his attitude.

One kind was those who genuinely enjoyed Little River Live, like Mr. Yu.

He had thought of going straight to the authorities, but was stopped by Yu Zeming, because when he inquired with Little River Live, all he got in response was one word: “Wait.”

That is, the Little River Live had a plan, and they didn’t need to do anything else to interfere with it.

Then some were covetous of the seeds mentioned by Little River Live but weren’t bold enough to step over the Chi Family to make the purchase themselves.

Not to mention, the little shop was now closed; they couldn’t buy even if they wanted to.

But if Little River Live could truly break free from the Chi Family’s blockade, the seeds’ sales path would undoubtedly be worry-free.

The last group included folks who genuinely liked the live streams but were just ordinary people, unable to do much.

They were just some people who, driven by fervor, wrote about Little River Live under various trending searches, only for their posts to be deleted as soon as they appeared, but they persisted tirelessly, spontaneously doing anything they could for Little River Live.

On the seventh day after the disappearance of Little River Live from the Star Network, people were still tirelessly trying, but the numbers were dwindling.

By the tenth day, everyone thought there was no hope left.

By the fifteenth day, almost no one harbored hope anymore, and the people who used to hang around the small shop started to disperse.

On the twentieth day, there was a forum on the Star Network called “Hoping for Your Return,” initiated by Liu Cheng, which still had a few, but steadfast, members.

There was Yu Xiaoyi’s family, whose lives were changed because of “selling fish,” and Li Zi, the chestnut seller;

There were friends who, having snatched up food from the small shop, resold it to pay for their mother’s medical treatment, and people who opened a restaurant because of the live-streamed recipes.

There was even a little Princess, Chuan Weibao, whose identity no one knew.

Chuan Weibao had cured her anorexia with strawberries and had just fallen in love with Little River Live when it was suddenly shut down. It had been over twenty days since it last went live.

Being part of the Chuan family, she knew more. She even used her status to send an email to the Royal Family’s Crown Prince, a complaint against the Chi Family’s overbearing and unreasonable behavior.

The Crown Prince knew Chuan Weibao and simply replied with: “Quietly waiting for the flowers to bloom.”

Because of this phrase, Chuan Weibao held an unwavering belief that there would definitely be a turnaround.

And Nian Shutong was aware of all these movements on the Star Network.

These past twenty days, she had really been working her tail off.

The newly cultivated crops were all plowed and fertilized, quietly waiting for the next harvest.

This time, after setting aside enough food for consumption, the rest went straight to their factories.

Downstream from the small wooden house, several areas were cleared to build a noodle factory, a convenience food factory, a pickled vegetable processing factory, and a sugar factory.

The establishment of the four factories utilized the newly invented machines researched by Rubble, silently and pollution-freely producing the needed items.

Today, Nian Shutong, with several items ready, virtually teleported them into storage on the Star Network and called out to Fu Yunhe.

“Yun He, let’s go.”

“Coming, right away.”

By this time, Fu Yunhe had undergone seven medicinal baths, and his body had recovered by half.

Now, he finally started to shed the feeling of being shattered, looking much healthier.

After both were ready, they virtually connected to the Star Network and returned to the same third level, to the military green-colored small house they had visited before.

It was still the same room, opening the door to reveal the same face with its scar, the robust body, and the hearty smile.

“Welcome, both of you, I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time,” said the First Officer, Xiong Da, whose hearty words prompted Nian Shutong to courteously clasp her hands together in greeting.

“Sorry to have kept you waiting.”

Upon being seated, Nian Shutong didn’t beat around the bush and laid out all the items she had previously scanned on the table.

“This is instant noodles, just add boiling water to prepare.”

“These are dried noodles, boil them for a few minutes, and they are ready to eat.”

“These are canned goods, with many varieties.”

“The first type is canned fish, including black bean dace, tomato fish, soy-flavored fish, and crispy yellow croaker.”

“The second type is pickled vegetables, including preserved mustard, cowpeas, cucumbers, and sweet garlic.”

“This is a self-heating rice meal, just add a little water to the box, and you can get different dishes with different rice.”

“This is fish sausage, ready to eat once you open the package.”

“Finally, compressed biscuits made from a variety of grains, extremely resistant to hunger—stronger than nutrient liquid, albeit with an average taste, but very convenient to carry.”

Swish, swish, swish, the table was laden with items.

As Nian Shutong described each one, Fu Yunhe demonstrated them in turn.

Like the fragrant instant noodles now and the noodles that were beginning to boil.

Not to mention all the canned goods that were ready to eat upon opening.

“These are just a small part; I’ll be increasing the variety of crops and thus convenience foods in the future. I wonder if there’s anything here that you find suitable?”

Suitable?

Xiong Da didn’t even know what to say anymore.

He had indeed placed much confidence in the capabilities of Nian Shutong and her partner, but he hadn’t anticipated that he still underestimated their strength.

A full table, and every single taste was quite good.

Finally, they could rid themselves of the bland, tasteless, and even hard-to-swallow nutrient liquid.

As Xiong Da took in the aromas in the air, he unashamedly asked, “How about I taste it first?”
