Happiness came by too quickly. Yayan would never have imagined that at the end of the day, the amount of favorability she garnered through carving a flower would be more than when she spent three days slaving away to make Chinese medicinal cuisine.
However, it was understandable. No matter how high quality the medicinal cuisine was, only a few people could enjoy it.
Moreover, no matter how much others endorsed it, those who had never tried it themselves would naturally view it with a certain amount of apprehension.
Unlike this flower carving, which can move anyone greatly as long as they could see, and not to mention the rest.
As Yayan listened to the chiming sounds that signaled the rising of her favorability, she snuck a look at the comments calling for her to make another one on the screen.
Quite crudely, she picked up an unused large red carrot and swiftly carved another blossoming bud that looked even more like a rose. Although it was larger, it took her two or three minutes less than she had needed for the previous one.
Then, without waiting for the audience’s reaction, Yayan retrieved another carrot from her fridge.
Her knife flew up and down as she carved out shapes that looked like pine and cypress stakes and a long, thin branch. Then, she reused the green parts of the red carrot to carve a few cute, miniature leaves.
Finally, she used toothpicks to assemble the flowers and leaves before securing them onto the wooden stakes. One flower hung from the branch while the other lay beside the wooden stake. The entire thing looked as beautiful as a painting.
However, Yayan felt that something was missing as she looked at it. After a moment’s thought, she grabbed some remaining fermented dough and kneaded it into a flat lump, making some carvings onto it before attaching it onto the wooden stake.
From a distance, it looked as if a shining moon was hanging in the air. When presented with the red flowers and green leaves on the branches, it looked even more breathtaking.
[Ahhhhh…]
[Ahhhhh…]
The audience might have been able to force themselves to remain calm and type the phrase [holy sh*t] when they saw the flower. However, when they saw the complete, stunning sculpture, they could not suppress the primal urge to type out their screams.
Even through the screen, Yayan could imagine the look on her audience’s face and the screams they could not suppress. She could not stop the corners of her lips from curling upward into a smile.
After another flood of comments, the number of rewards her live stream was receiving reached a fever pitch.
Yayan took a brief look at the comments. Most of them were giving praise and admiration for her knifework. Some were even asking if this sculpture could be the prize for the next lucky draw or if she could sell it because they were willing to pay for it.
Stunned, Yayan laughed and said, “If you genuinely like this, this finished product will be a lucky draw prize to the audience along with two servings of Chinese medicinal cuisine. After all, it’s just been made into a carving. You’d best steam it for a while before eating if you want to do that…”
Before Yayan could finish speaking, she got reprimanded by many people.
[Host, are you a demon? How could anyone bring themselves to eat such a beautiful thing?]
[Exactly. It is a work of art. You should think of a way to preserve it!]
Yayan said, “… Alright, as long as you’re happy.”
“Today’s carving session has come to an end. I’ll carve a little birdie for you guys if we get the chance next time.”
Yayan had said that without giving it any thought, but she had not imagined…
[Birdie? I suspect that the host is being horn knee (TN: the phrase “horn knee” is used here to replace the word “horny” both to prevent algorithm censorship and to poke fun at the person who has made an unconscious sexual innuendo), but I don’t have any evidence.]
[What proof do you need? I’ll help you prove that the host is being horn knee.]
[Keep it to yourself, why say it out loud? Hehehe~]
[Hey, upstairs, you’re laughing too indecently. Get out!]
Yayan exclaimed, “!!!” No, I’m not, don’t say such nonsense!
