Urban Cultivation with a Demonic System-Chapter 56: Why Should I Explain Myself to Others?
Amidst a chorus of "wow," the roasted goose sliced off the most succulent part of its skin and meat, arranging them on the plate like flower petals.
"Wow, that’s really amazing!"
Yin Qiyue exclaimed with an exaggerated tone, half for dramatic effect and half because she was truly amazed by the operation.
She handed the phone to Chen Nuoyi, appearing on screen together with the roasted goose, and pointed at the juicy and tender goose meat on the plate with her chopsticks:
"Su Yuan, Su Yuan, other than moving by itself, what else is special about your roasted goose?"
Su Yuan smiled and said:
"Of course, food is not just for looking at; taste is its primary importance."
"Using a family secret technique, I can lock the soul of the Dragon Scale Roasted Goose within its body after slaughtering it, ensuring the meat remains as fresh as when it was alive, and losing almost none of its essence during roasting."
"As for the spices and herbs used for marinating the goose meat, they’re also quite different from what’s available on the market, giving my roasted goose a unique flavor."
"That’s amazing. Let me try it first."
Yin Qiyue looked expectant, picked up a piece of goose meat, and put it in her mouth for a taste.
The next second, her amethyst-like beautiful eyes brightened up, and even through the screen, the audience could see Yin Qiyue salivating fiercely.
"What does it taste like? It really looks delicious."
"Stop eating and talk, you big glutton!"
"Quick chopstick train jaw, chomp chomp just keeps eating!"
"Someday, when I have money, I must get a phone that can smell the aroma."
However, Yin Qiyue went against expectations and showed no intention of describing the goose’s flavor. Instead, she directly brought the plate to the dining table, inviting Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi to join in.
The phone used for the livestream was placed on a tripod nearby, allowing viewers to clearly see the three of them and the Dragon Scale Roasted Goose.
The three of them ate while the Dragon Scale Roasted Goose stood aside slicing meat, and from time to time, Yin Qiyue chatted about everyday life to enliven the atmosphere.
It was as if this was truly a livestream documenting daily life.
Half an hour later, the stream’s viewership skyrocketed to over ten thousand.
A large number of viewers, wanting to taste it but unable to, were all sending the same comment.
"Is this goose for sale?"
Yin Qiyue, who was keeping an eye on the comments with another phone, saw it was about time and coughed softly:
"Su Yuan, I noticed the audience in the livestream is quite interested in your roasted goose."
"Fans are like family to me, so on behalf of my family, let me ask you, can your roasted goose be sold to the public?"
Su Yuan showed a troubled look:
"I’m just a high school student, and it’s already challenging supplying the school canteen every day. If I sell to the livestream family as well, my study time might be..."
"Oh, do us a favor! Can you bear to let family just watch us eat through the screen?"
Yin Qiyue pleaded.
After a "fierce" internal struggle, Su Yuan gritted his teeth and said:
"Since family wants to taste my roasted goose, I’ll take the plunge!"
"That’s great! I knew you’d help me!"
Yin Qiyue beamed like a flower.
"Haha, the boy got played by Qiyue like a flute." "Who wouldn’t be confused by Qiyue’s pleading!"
Two comments floated by.
"Su Yuan, Su Yuan, how much is your roasted goose? Is it expensive?"
Yin Qiyue asked deliberately.
Su Yuan: "The Dragon Scale Roasted Goose uses Dragon Scale Geese as the main ingredient, coupled with various secret techniques and heavenly and earthly treasures, resulting in costs amounting to... twelve thousand!"
"To be honest with the family watching, a single roasted goose can be divided into a hundred portions, and in our school canteen, a portion only sells for one hundred twenty, almost at cost, only earning the subsidy from the school."
Even though the script had been rehearsed, Chen Nuoyi still lowered her head guiltily upon hearing this.
This honest kid had never lied so blatantly in front of so many people!
If the Saint Fall Level were still visible on her, it’d be off the charts by now!
"Selling at the school canteen for one hundred twenty with subsidies? It may be a bit pricey, but it’s worth the value."
"But if we really sell it in my livestream, the school canteen will take a cut, and the Miao Yin Platform will take another, along with packaging and logistic fees. To make any profit, it needs to sell for at least over two hundred per portion!"
Yin Qiyue said in surprise.
This price released a wave of comments.
Over a third of the comments felt it was too expensive, some viewers were intrigued to try it, and even a few wealthy individuals asked about buying a whole goose.
But then Su Yuan gritted his teeth and said:
"Selling for two hundred a portion is way too expensive, not every family member can afford it!"
"I’ve decided, even if we don’t make money, I want to bring the price of the Dragon Scale Roasted Goose down!"
Now it was Chen Nuoyi’s turn to speak.
She cautiously tugged Su Yuan’s sleeve:
"Su Yuan, it has to sell for at least one hundred eighty per portion, any cheaper and we’ll lose money."
But before she could finish, Su Yuan interrupted:
"One hundred eighty? Do you know how long it takes a worker to earn one hundred eighty?"
"Chen Nuoyi, how can you think about making money from family in the livestream?"
Turning to the camera, Su Yuan said solemnly:
"Let me be honest with the family, accounting for all costs, each portion of roasted goose costs about one hundred fifty!"
"One hundred fifty! Su Yuan, selling at that price, we might lose money!"
Chen Nuoyi panicked.
"A portion of roasted goose indeed can’t sell for one hundred fifty." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Su Yuan pondered, and Chen Nuoyi finally breathed a little easier.
But the next moment, Su Yuan firmly declared:
"I’ll say it clearly! One hundred fifteen!"
"Not for profit, just as a token of appreciation for family in the livestream!"
Chen Nuoyi’s face changed dramatically!
"Moreover, I, Su Yuan, promise that for every order placed, I’ll livestream the Dragon Scale Roasted Goose personally slicing a portion for packaging."
Yin Qiyue couldn’t help but say:
"Su Yuan, you’re selling at a loss. Not even the school canteen is cheaper than our livestream!"
"No need to persuade me, my mind is made up."
Su Yuan said calmly:
"What I do is not for myself; I seek only to stay true to my heart!"
A wave of comments quickly rolled across the screen:
"Even selling at my school, it’s only 115? That’s really a great deal!"
"This guy, I’m crying!"
"Can it be delivered by express courier?"
Yin Qiyue promptly said:
"A man of honor, so let’s not waste words, one, two, three, post the link!"
With a little click of her tiny hand, the link for the Dragon Scale Roasted Goose, priced at one hundred fifteen, with a limit of one thousand portions, appeared in the livestream.
In an instant, a frenzy to buy overwhelmed the livestream, and in less than three minutes, all one thousand portions were sold out!
Many comments, with special effects, were still asking about the whole goose.
Soon, the whole goose link was posted, limited to ten, each selling for only 10999, plus an included Soul Summoning Bell and instructions.
For each whole goose sold, Su Yuan pre-programmed commands, such as shaking the bell once to slice a plate of meat, twice to make the goose greet, and three times to make it dance, etc.
As expected, all ten whole geese sold out in under a minute.
A thousand portions priced at 115 yielded a net profit of 35 each, totaling thirty-five thousand.
And as the whole geese were sold in bulk, with less deduction from the school and platform, even though the price was lower, each whole goose earned over four thousand profit.
From one livestream alone, the trio earned a whopping hundred thousand just from sales!
Not to mention the plentiful donations.
Although they’ll be busy making roasted goose all day, the profit was astonishingly fast!
It can be said, even in an era of universal cultivation, flow is king!
