Chapter 7 Counterattack
It was the first time they had to face so much abuse.
Shame and reason were pulling back and forth. Although I had done nothing wrong, I kept wondering whether I had done too many unnecessary things.
"Don't be afraid, just watch how I fight back."
Su Xiaocai likes the videos they shot, probably because they want to be authentic, so they shoot them in great detail and high definition.
Su Xiaocai downloaded it, edited it, zoomed in the shot, and added the sound.
It's a new video.
She didn't say anything to dispel the rumors, but only explained the plant species that appeared in the video, why the merchants threw them away, what the fruit tasted like, and what could be done with the vegetables after taking them home.
The three people in the dormitory sat nearby and watched how Su Xiaocai turned the situation around step by step. They watched the finished film and found that the style and narrative method were completely different from the original video.
There is absolutely no way they are edited from the same video.
The original video was full of malice, but the modified video is like an interesting science program, which can let others know that there is so much knowledge involved in picking up trash, and it can also be so much fun.
This is not enough, there must be a beginning and an end.
"Little Maruko, help me make pumpkin pie, mixed fruit pie, and a fried chicken covered with fresh ketchup. Remember to take a video and make sure it's all delicious."
Chibi Maruko blinked her electronic eyes, "Okay, Caicai."
Chibi Maruko took the ingredients and went to the kitchen to start cooking.
Soon, the sweet and fragrant pumpkin pie and fruit pie were ready, all made with the picked up ingredients.
She bought the chicken and brought the tomatoes from Su’s Farm.
The fried chicken skin is crispy and tender, a bite of the Su Xiaocai can eliminate the fishy smell of the raw pickled crab meat you ate today, the pumpkin pie is crispy, sticky and sweet, and the fruit pie is sweet to the heart, making people feel happy.
"You guys eat too. I can't finish it. Let's pick up the ingredients together. Of course, we'll be happy if we eat together."
When Xiaowanzi was frying the chicken, Wu Qingqing smelled the aroma and wanted to eat it very much, so she immediately took the fried chicken.
The chicken is marinated well, with just the right amount of salty and sweet. The crispy skin has a spice flavor, a little spicy, and not greasy. The more you eat, the more you want to eat. "I've had fried chicken before, but it's not as good as yours."
"It wasn't me who made it, it was Chibi Maruko. My Chibi Maruko is the best cook."
Chibi Maruko's eyes turned red, "Nanny said I'm the best, there must be no one better than me, then why didn't you eat at home at noon today."
Su Xiaocai: “…”
What should I do? It’s hard to fool Chibi Maruko.
Feng Wansha circled around Chibi Maruko-chan curiously. Living up to her reputation as a genius, she could tell immediately that Chibi Maruko-chan was different.
After watching for a while, he asked, "Chibi Maruko, can you cook a lot of dishes?"
"Yes, I am an all-purpose chef. I can cook all kinds of dishes."
"Very smart. How did you do that?" Feng Wansha asked Su Xiaocai.
"Don't ask me. I bought all the programs running on it online, copied and pasted them, and then added random codes to make this machine."
The robot in Su Laodi's house is not as evolved as Chibi Maruko-chan. It only has the original settings, which are enthusiastic, regular and stubborn.
Chibi Maruko-chan can change her personality according to the environment, making her more humane.
Just like now, because there are three more children of Su Xiaocai's age around him, he feels that he has a big responsibility to take good care of the children, so he consciously urges the children to eat at home.
After dinner, Su Xiaocai edited the video again. When everything was edited, she posted it on various social media platforms and added her Weibo social media account at the bottom.
It would be nice to gain some fans at the same time.
The original video slandered her for picking up garbage to eat, but the edited video did the opposite, saying that she had found a treasure and advocating not to waste food.
Su Xiaocai decided to go all out and made a scheming comment in the comment section, euphemistically telling people about how she was being criticized.
This video about popularizing science, protecting the environment, taking food seriously, and adding free treasure hunts quickly became a hit on the Internet.
Especially the delicious dishes made from the vegetables picked up at the end really touched the hearts of city people.
It is very heartwarming and educational, and is more worthy of promotion than many eye-catching videos.
A large group of like-minded people came in, and they all said they wanted to see more, to see what else she could get.
Someone commented under the video, talking about his own experience, that he was so poor that he was starving, and the government subsidies on his planet were not in place. He dug out a lot of bread that was not bad from the bakery's trash can that was used to store the bread that expired that day and ate it.
Luckily the shop owner didn’t say anything when he saw it.
Because it was early in the morning, no one went to buy bread, so the bread was picked up and could not be eaten by humans, but could be used as feed.
Comment: "I have never dared to say it, but I didn't expect the blogger to make a video. It's very interesting. Thumbs up."
The reversal of public opinion was unexpected, as the government had just recently advocated frugality among the people.
The reason is that garbage stars cannot completely digest so much garbage. When one garbage star is full, we have to look for the second and third ones.
The best way is public awareness.
This video happens to be consistent with the official statement, and several authoritative official accounts liked the video.
Now, the wall of rumors built by the haters collapsed.
Keyboard warriors and kind-hearted people rushed to the original video to scold the poster for having bad intentions.
How can a few thousand black spots be a match for hundreds of thousands of people?
They can't hack it anymore, so the original video has to be hidden.
When she woke up the next day, her three roommates all looked at Su Xiaocai with incredible eyes, "Did you know that we became a little famous?"
As expected, once the video is linked to people's livelihood and the government, no matter how unscrupulous the haters are, they cannot fight against the whole people.
Su Xiaocai’s blog circle soared from 10,000 followers to 100,000.
More people asked her to come up with delicious recipes. One person followed the video and made it once. It was so delicious that it made him want to cry.
The key materials are simple and difficult to make.
Su Xiaocai yawned. Food is the most important thing for people, and no one can resist the temptation of delicious food.
I don’t know what kind of devilish dish yesterday’s pickled crab meat and French fries was, but it actually received a star rating.
"Aren't you excited at all? Let's pick up the stocks next time there's a big market." Wu Qingqing was so happy that the haters left, her fans increased tenfold, and she received a lot of praise.
Although there are some doubts, there is a bright future ahead.
Su Xiaocai spread her hands and said, "Don't even think about it. Just quit while you're ahead. The business that contracted the garbage station won't tolerate you earning traffic from his garbage station."
Those merchants will feel sorry for the poor, but if you want to get more attention and go to the garbage station, they would rather throw away all your things than help you.
"Xiaowanzi, make two grilled chicken steak sandwiches. I'll have these for lunch, and stir-fried vegetables and tomato stewed beef for dinner." Su Xiaocai said to her roommates, "If you want Xiaowanzi to cook, just buy the ingredients for him."
"Is it too much trouble?" Xing Miao also thought that the dishes cooked by Chibi Maruko were very good.
The beauty loves desserts, and yesterday's mixed fruit pie suits her taste very well. "Do you find this troublesome, Xiaowanzi?" Su Xiaocai asked.
"No." Chibi Maruko turned his chubby body and said excitedly, "I will record all the dishes I cook and edit them for Cai Cai. Then I can take care of Cai Cai. Cai Cai always gets her pocket money withheld because she is naughty. It's so pitiful."
Su Xiaocai: There’s no need to talk about her embarrassing story.
The roommates also ordered dinner dishes, and they all had places to go at noon.
The students who were admitted to the military training were very self-conscious. Feng Wansha went to the library, and Xing Miao was going to meet up with his classmates and form a study team with the seniors who arrived early.
They have a conducting simulation class in their first class, which will be a key lesson that the instructor values, so it is necessary to learn it in advance.
As for Wu Qingqing, she wanted Su Xiaocai to guide her all day long.
But Su Xiaocai was a serious agricultural student. She was going to inspect the allocated fields and wanted to plant the many plants she had dug up yesterday as soon as possible.
Therefore, I am only free after 3pm.
Wu Qingqing made an appointment with Su Xiaocai from three to six o'clock. For the rest of the time, she would look for someone to play against and learn the driving moves that Su Xiaocai did yesterday.
As for whether you can learn it or not, you will only know after you learn it.
……
The four people in the dormitory acted separately, and Su Xiaocai took a car to the farmland.
Since the Academy of Agricultural Sciences was only established in the last two years, the fields allocated to freshmen are all barren.
At first glance, it was overgrown with weeds.
It takes a lot of time just to cultivate the land, and in order to grow the plants she wants to plant, she also has to create a suitable environment.
Su Xiaocai was not the only freshman standing by the field. There were several others standing by the field with worries.
"What about the wasteland?"
Eighty percent of the freshmen have never farmed before and have only theoretical knowledge, while some do not even have any theory.
The reason why I applied to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences was entirely because of the value of the word "military training", and this department has the lowest admission score.
They all looked at how to plant the crops at the last minute and came with hoes and shovels.
Su Xiaocai calmly took out a stool and sat down.
Then she took out a small homemade tiller from the space, circled the land area, let the tiller intelligently identify it, and then she placed the machine in the field.
The tiller drags the tilling drum by itself and tills the soil in the designated area. If it encounters large rocks or tree stumps, it will automatically bypass them and continue tilling.
Swish, swish, swish, the three acres of mud field was turned over by one third in ten minutes.
Then Su Xiaocai took out two strange-looking small excavators slowly, entered the program, and instructed them to dig stones. Large rocks were shattered with nuclear magnetic knives, and tree stumps were chopped into firewood and piled up.
What’s even more amazing is that there are spider-like robots at the back. They pick up weeds and gravel along the turned-up land. When the weeds are placed in front of Su Xiaocai, they take the gravel and automatically pave the road.
There is a possibility of finding medicinal herbs among the weeds. Su Xiaocai doesn't want to miss them, so she picks out the useful ones. It doesn't matter if they are damaged, as it will only slightly affect the medicinal properties, but she won't sell them.
Useless weeds are used as organic fertilizer and piled in a pit for fermentation.
The freshmen who were watching were confused by Su Xiaocai's display. A dark-skinned young man came over and asked, "Girl, why do you bring so many tools?"
"Poor students have more stationery. I'm a scumbag at farming, so I can only rely on machines to help me." Su Xiaocai made a pot of tea, leisurely held a beach umbrella, and supervised the machines at work.
Her duty is to repair the machine in time if it breaks down.
It’s just that these machines have been debugged and modified by her many times, so they are not so easy to break down.
Very strong reason.
They also don’t know how to plant, so, “Can I borrow your tools?”
Su Xiaocai smiled, "I use the machine only because I have poor hands-on skills, not because I lack knowledge. If the teacher asks in class what difficulties there are in cultivating the fields, are you sure you can answer them after borrowing my machine?"
The truth hurts, especially to those who have never farmed before. They are completely in the dark, and unless they try it themselves, they will never know what difficulties are waiting for them to solve.
The dark-skinned young man was speechless.
Of course, Su Xiaocai was not stingy. "I can lend you an excavator. Some obstacles are difficult to deal with. It will be more convenient to use it. Remember to charge it. And if it breaks down, you have to pay for the repairs."
The dark-skinned young man asked, "How much does it cost to repair it? What if you ask for too much?"
"The repair fee is uncertain. Who knows how many people will use it and what part of it will be damaged. If the engine is broken, the repair cost will be at least three thousand. You can borrow a machine from outside, or you can buy one. I'm not a sucker. I'm not giving it to you for free, but you still have to pay for the repairs yourself. Only a fool would do that." Su Xiaocai stated the pros and cons at the beginning and stated the conditions. If you don't appreciate it, don't come to borrow it.
The dark-skinned young man thought Su Xiaocai was right, as she didn't force anyone to borrow money.
What's more, we are from the same school, so we can find someone if we get cheated.
He went back and told the freshmen about Su Xiaocai's conditions and asked if anyone was willing to lend it to him.
One of the couples, the girl holding the boy's hand, was very hesitant: "Her machine looks so broken, why don't we ask the price of renting it outside first?"
The boys also felt that Su Xiaocai had bad intentions and might have deliberately given them the broken machine to use.
"She was only willing to lend me the excavator. She was so stingy."
After expressing their opinions, half of the ten people thought that what Su Xiaocai said made sense, and that if they did not put it into practice, they would never know the difficulties involved.
It is naive to expect to achieve everything in one step without learning the most basic things.
Two of the five planned to work together to reclaim the land.
The other three, including the black-faced young man, wanted to borrow the machine.
Su Xiaocai introduced herself to them, added their contact numbers, and then signed an agreement. "Tell me if they break down, and don't fix them without permission. These machines were made by me. I know them. If you three are the only ones using them, they won't break down that quickly. If you give them to others, that may not be the case."
"You do it yourself?" The three of them were stunned. Are all the talents now so simple and unpretentious? Or is there any new development in farming? It has become so complicated that even machines need to be done by hand.
Soon, the soil in Su Xiaocai's fields was turned over.
The loose soil quietly absorbs the essence of the sun, and the strong sunlight will drive away the insects inside, reducing insect pests after planting.
It’s good to plant things after two or three days of sun exposure.
She had just checked the types of weeds and thriving plants and learned the properties of the soil. She wrote all this data down for easy reference later.
The soil here is very suitable for growing coconut cabbage, and it has enough fertility. If we add a little more fertilizer later, the coconut cabbage should be able to grow smoothly.
Most plants are not suitable for too careful care. As long as they are not short of water and nutrients, you can let them grow wildly.
Coconut cabbage is one of her experimental targets, and in order to increase its yield, she also wants to conduct a control group experiment.
After planning four experimental fields of coconut cabbage, she began to dig holes for the saplings at the edge of the fields, first illuminating them with ultraviolet lamps, and then planting the saplings.
The saplings that Su Xiaocai picked up were weak in vitality, so she could only do her best and leave the rest to fate.
If they survive, it's good luck; if they die, it's no pity.
