Apart from steaming and boiling, people in this world didn't know much about how to cook beans. Also, since the beans were not as soft as rice after cooking and might cause flatulence, people didn't take it as a main ingredient in their recipe.

In all the malls, beans were never popular. Luckily, since it had a long shelf time and wasn't easy to rot, the malls stored some just in case.

But on this day, the supervisors in various malls just found out that the beans were sold out after being ignored for so long. Also, even the receptionists had received a lot of orders and inquiries about that.

Although the supervisors didn't know what was going on, they were glad to know that many people wanted to buy it, so they wouldn't miss the chance.

Therefore, the leaders of the malls started to contact their companions on other planets, wishing they could get new beans soon. If they missed this golden time, they wouldn't know when they would have the chance next time. However, what happened next disappointed them.

"What? Did you just say that your beans were sold out?" The person in charge of the mall on M16 Planet was surprised.

The man on M17 Planet replied, "I was supposed to ask you to send me some, but it looks like we are in the same situation. Alas, I don't know what is going on. But the three or four planets I've contacted had the same answer. Who was this rich guy to buy all the beans?"

The two supervisors asked in their chat group for answers. Then they learned that they were not alone. Apart from theirs, all the beans on other planets were sold out as well, including the old ones. Even those on the remote planets were ordered as well. Besides, the customers were from everywhere on these planets.

M05: What exactly is the reason why so many people bought them all?

M11: I don't know. When I just sold the beans out, I was so proud of myself, thinking that it would be my leverage to beat you all on the annual report and make me the Employee of the Year. I even thought Grandpa might reward me for that. What a shame we are in the same trouble. I was happy for nothing.

M07: Just shut up, man.

M15: What's the occasion anyway? Did any of our opponents buy them all to dominate the market?

M09: No.15, why didn't you listen to me when I told you repeatedly that you should read more? Aren't you stupid to ask that question? No wonder you are the worst seller among us all!

M15: You're the worst in the past years! And you will be the same this year!

M20: I'm afraid I've found the answer. Here is a link: www.baixiaobai.lubo.com.

After Gu Bai finished his tofu, he didn't make any other food. There were still two hours until noon and it would take an hour for the tofu to be shaped.

"Then we should end this now. I'll continue the show when the tofu is good enough to eat." Gu Bai was about to close the show as he said.

The fans left messages on the screen, hoping he could continue. Even if Gu Bai didn't do anything, they wanted to chat with him.

Noticing how many others asked the same, Gu Bai didn't have the heart to refuse them. He was awkward, "What do we do if I stay? Shall we talk?"

Gu Bai was always cooking when he was in front of the camera, explaining to the fans from time to time. But now, without cooking, he felt embarrassed to face them because he didn't know what to say.

"Xiaobai, how can you cook so many dishes? You don't look old, but you make better dishes than the experienced chefs.]

"They are my family recipes," Gu Bai said with a smile.
