My Husband, a Marshal: Conquering the Stars with My Culinary Arts-Chapter 642 - 216 Lamb Offal Soup (Part 1)_3

After Du Xixi finished reading, her immediate reaction was disbelief. After all, the Star Network had always been a platform for chatting and entertainment, so the appearance of a food experience area similar to a holographic game seemed odd no matter how you looked at it.

However, she was certain this account belonged to the Director of Planning at Star Network. An officially verified account would carry a badge, a mark exclusive to internal Star Network staff, something even Ke Lian and Chen Yin were not qualified to have.

Du Xixi gently pinched her wrist, a sharp pain immediately flaring on her slender wrist, and a distinct red mark appeared where Du Xixi had pinched. It was evident that Du Xixi had been quite merciless in pinching herself, leaving a significant mark.

It wasn’t an illusion or a dream, and Du Xixi finally believed what the Director of Planning at Star Network said was true. She didn’t have time to ponder, so she first thanked Star Network for their trust in her and then expressed her thoughts about considering it.

This sounded like a good thing; it was a job for Star Network, after all! Although it was just a position in the food experience area, it was, in name, a job actively offered by Star Network, a great honor.

But Du Xixi wasn’t someone who valued titles that much. She had more than enough spotlight—from marrying Ke Lian to being recognized as a sister by Chen Yin, her life was destined to be celebrated and illustrious without needing additional luster from Star Network.

Moreover, as the saying goes, water overflows when too full. Du Xixi had just finished a semester at Blue Star University, and the child in her belly was already four months old. She wasn’t sure how much energy she could dedicate to this food experience area.

After thinking for a while, Du Xixi sent her considerations to the Director of Planning at Star Network. Her words actually carried a hint of refusal; she still wanted to prioritize herself. The food experience area could choose someone else, like several other professors in the Food Department who were quite good.

But it seemed like this Director of Planning at Star Network had "set his sights" on Du Xixi. Although Du Xixi’s intentions were already clear, he still sent back a reply in a gentle yet undeniably convincing tone.

"Director of Planning at Star Network": Sorry for not considering your physical condition. However, the holographic equipment can now ensure the safety of participants’ bodies. If you trust our network, we can provide our self-developed holographic equipment to ensure no harm comes to you or your child.

"Director of Planning at Star Network": With the most sincere respect, we hope you understand us and join us.

Du Xixi smiled helplessly. With them even offering to provide internal holographic equipment, what reason did she have to refuse? After communicating more with the Director of Planning at Star Network and learning more about the food experience area, she asked them to send over the contract, which she signed to agree.

From being a Food Department professor on winter break to becoming a Star Network food consultant, Du Xixi accepted it quite well. After all, it was just a change of identity and environment to promote food, and it might even be more relaxed within Star Network.

—After all, there’s no need to wake up early and rush out to work. Working at Star Network only requires lying in the holographic equipment, closing your eyes, and opening them to be in Star Network, where in the holographic state, nothing done inside affects the real body.

Du Xixi was idly thinking about her new job when she heard noise from the stairs. It turned out to be 2569 sliding down from the stairs. Its wheels weren’t quite suited for stairs, so it grasped the handrail and slid down playfully.

"Have you finished tidying up so quickly?" Du Xixi checked the time, just past one o’clock. She thought Miao Miao and 2569 would at least tidy up until three.

shook its head and slid over to Du Xixi, saying in a mechanical voice, "Miss Miao Miao is still tidying. 2569 just helped move those books. Miss Miao Miao said she wants to tidy the remaining clothes herself, so I came out."

Du Xixi chuckled, suspecting that Miao Miao probably didn’t want 2569 to see some of her clothes, hence finding an excuse to send it out. But it was fine to send it out since Du Xixi happened to want to take 2569 to the kitchen to make a dish.

"I remember that CD-0329 Star occasionally sends beef and lamb over, all alive. Where are they now?" Du Xixi asked 2569 softly, her hands lightly tying a knot behind her.

"Live cattle and sheep?" 2569 recalled that all the food ingredients in the Ke Family were managed by it, so it naturally knew the whereabouts of those cattle and sheep. "Slaughtering sheep and cattle is too troublesome. It was only because you said not to slaughter them that I called someone to take them to a designated farm." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"A farm?" Du Xixi hadn’t heard of delivered ingredients being sent to a farm, but when she recalled her memories, she did remember saying not to slaughter them at the time.

At that time, Du Xixi didn’t ask 2569 to slaughter live cattle and sheep not because 2569 was inexperienced and a newbie, but because she was pregnant and couldn’t do it herself. So the cattle and sheep lived under her eye.

"Call the farm to send a lamb back later. The dish I want to make involves it," Du Xixi softly instructed 2569, who immediately went to do so. But once it finished the call and received confirmation, 2569 couldn’t help but ask Du Xixi what dish she was going to make.

"Lamb offal soup, also known as lamb giblets."
