The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead

Nian Shutong stared intently at the pot, pressing a hand to her stomach and said, "Being anxious is useless, you have to cook it for the right amount of time."

"How long?" Fu Yunhe, who had already shifted from squatting to sitting, couldn't help but ask.

Nian Shutong, whose attention had been fixed on the corn, turned away with a smile brimming on her face to look at Fu Yunhe.

Fu Yunhe's radar instantly went online, and he took a deep breath and said, "I've bought a pot."

In other words, the money had already been paid.

"One corn for one pot."

Nian Shutong extended her arm that was asking for money, shaking it as she said, "Eating one is also okay."

Just as she was about to retract her arm, Fu Yunhe spoke.

"I'll buy."

Fu Yunhe opened the Star Network with a familiar sense of bitterness and asked, "How much?"

Nian Shutong treated this question with the utmost seriousness.

She gestured and said, "This corn is much bigger than a potato, but it's a different variety, so I'll still charge one thousand star coins each! Can't always let you suffer a loss."

Suffer a loss?

Fu Yunhe felt like it was his destiny to be taken advantage of, so without struggling he simply paid five thousand star coins for five pieces.

While the two were operating, Nian Shutong's set timer sounded.

"You can eat now."

Nian Shutong quickly returned to the pot, lifted the lid, and holding a large spoon, began to scoop out the corn.

Both of them, not minding the heat, each took an ear, with Fu Yunhe watching Nian Shutong, trying to learn how to eat, as he didn't know.

Nian Shutong peeled back the husk, munching on the corn kernels within.

The fresh aroma of the corn, the kernels plump yet tender, burst apart with each bite.

An even sweeter flavor filled his mouth.

Nian Shutong just kept on taking big bites of the corn, delicious and also scorching hot.

Fu Yunhe, on the other hand, delicately peeled the husk and took a small bite, very civilized.

But after just one taste, the speed at which he ate the corn quickened, and his mouth opened wider and wider.

To hell with being civilized!

This corn was unbelievably delicious! Comparable to the feast at a celebration banquet.

Keep in mind, that's food prepared by top chefs for the Royal Family who, even though they're royalty, can't eat such meals every day; sometimes they also have to drink nutrient liquid.

But now, the corn he ate was not losing out to those carefully prepared gourmet dishes.

The purest flavor of the corn conquered them both.

Fu Yunhe wasn't in good health, but he didn't leave a single kernel of the six ears he had, even wanting to nibble on the cob.

Nian Shutong went on to munch through more than a dozen, finally sitting down contentedly.

"Hey? Xiao He, do you think it would be a good idea to sell this corn in my shop?"

Fu Yunhe, pondering why the corn didn't have any healing effects, turned to look at Nian Shutong.

"It should sell well, it tastes good."

"How much for one?" Nian Shutong didn't understand much about market prices, most of the original host's memories involved being alone in the room browsing the Star Network, chasing stars or something, not looking at anything practical.

Fu Yunhe pondered for a moment, this thing really wasn't easy to price. After all, such gourmet products are very expensive.

"If your shop sets it too high, no one will buy it. Set too low, it seems mismatched with the flavor of the corn."

Nian Shutong nodded in understanding and said, "It doesn't matter, there's plenty. Let's list a few and see, set it at one hundred star coins each."

"One hundred?"

He had paid a thousand star coins each, that's quite a difference!

Nian Shutong also realized this and comfortingly said, "Don't mind it, from now on you can buy at the market price."

Fu Yunhe was speechless, as if he had to thank her.
