Chapter 677 - 696: Profit Market
Chapter 677: Chapter 696: Profit Market
Jiang Qiuqiu scrolled down a little and discovered the post had almost completely turned into a purchasing thread.
People who bought the items even came back to comment, saying they were indeed good and a great value for the price.
She couldn’t see the sales volume from her end, but Jiang Qiuqiu took a quick look and estimated that the number of available slots was likely between 200 and 300.
’This is kind of amazing,’ she thought, bookmarking the post. She wondered if Murphy’s Law existed in this world; she didn’t recall seeing so many purchasing requests when she was browsing posts before.
But after she finished reading the pickled radish post, all sorts of buy-and-sell threads sprang up everywhere.
Some people, upon discovering for the first time that they could buy things from community members, failed to grab a slot. They quickly went to a neighboring thread run by another cooking expert and asked if they could buy from them. However, that expert wasn’t short on cash and refused.
So, they went back to the community to post a purchasing request.
They posted offers to buy, and as more people saw them, someone eventually took the bait. Then, the two parties would start a transaction.
Gradually, it wasn’t just radishes being traded. Some of the simple soups, broths, and desserts that had appeared before were now also being sold.
Many people left positive reviews.
[Although it can’t compare to Juju’s... WAHHHH, it’s really tastier than what I make!]
[How should I put this? For some reason, I don’t have to drink Nutrient Liquid anymore either.]
[My day is suddenly sorted. I eat from @** in the morning, @Pingping at noon, and @Xixi’s Gourmet at night, and just like that, the day is over. If I get a craving, I can order from @Feng Xiang or @Duomei. The food these posters make is pretty good, and it’s clean. No disasters yet.]
Feel like eating something.
Order from the poster.
The poster cooks and delivers.
Good review.
’This model... isn’t it a bit like food delivery?’
Of course, while some people were selling things, others were scolding them, saying, "This is Jiang Qiuqiu’s food community. Please don’t use the community’s fame to cash in for yourselves."
Jiang Qiuqiu, however, didn’t mind that people were profiting from this.
It’s just that with all these new posts, the community had indeed become a bit chaotic.
Profit, a market, people.
Many things suddenly flashed through her mind, but she couldn’t quite grasp them.
...
In the afternoon, it was time for her livestream.
Jiang Qiuqiu brought out the radishes she had pickled.
The surprise that should have been unveiled during the last stream was saved for this one. The sour radish paired with Rice was, as expected, refreshingly crisp. It was sweet, sour, and slightly spicy, and with a touch of a healing effect, it earned a lot of likes.
Jiang Qiuqiu also took a bite. "Before the stream today, I went to the community to check out the radishes everyone made. I saw a lot of good reviews."
"I told you all this is a really simple dish with no difficulty at all, but you didn’t believe me. It’s a shame that by the time I went to look, all the tasting slots everyone posted were already gone, so I didn’t get to try any."
[No shame, no shame! If Juju wants to eat some, I’ll post more right away!]
[The ones I made were a failure!]
Everyone discussed the flavor of the pickled radishes for a bit, but the topic didn’t last long before one of Jiang Qiuqiu’s staunchest defenders spoke up—
[Juju! Speaking of the posts, there’s something else!]
[Lately, there are so many threads for buying and selling food in the community... There are just too many, and it’s making the whole community a mess.]
[Before, when you entered the community, it was all about discussing food and other fun things. Now it’s like another Taotao Fresh.]
[Yeah, yeah, it’s so annoying.]
Jiang Qiuqiu’s eyes swept over this comment. ’Taotao Fresh? An app for selling goods?’
Make food—sell—buy—review.
’All the buy-and-sell threads in the community... isn’t that just a food-selling chain?’
’A market, people with supply, and people with demand, all gathered together. What is this?’
’This is—a commercial market.’
’It’s money.’
’It’s popularity.’
’It’s a path.’
’What does New Star need?’
’It needs something the Federation’s livestreams don’t have. It needs a unique feature for the app. It needs—a new path.’
