After the real daughter was reborn, the girl who traveled through the book was cannon fodder

As dusk gradually fell, the crowds at the market gradually dispersed. Jiang Baizhi and Qu Qingdai both methodically packed up their stalls, preparing to end their busy day.

At this time, Jiang Baizhi walked up to Qu Qingdai with a smile on her face and said gently, "Sister, dinner will be ready soon. Do you want to go shopping with me?"

Qu Qingdai thought about everything that was about to happen, but with a smile on her face, she politely declined Jiang Baizhi's invitation. She said gently, "No, I'm going back now. I'm tired after a long day. Thank you for your hard work. I'm looking forward to the dinner you'll make."

Jiang Baizhi smiled modestly and said, "Okay, sister, I'll go buy the vegetables myself." After that, she turned and left.

In fact, she only invited Qu Qingdai symbolically. She didn't really want Qu Qingdai to accompany her to buy vegetables. Because when she bought vegetables, she would bargain with the sellers. She just wanted to show all this alone so that the audience would like her more. She didn't want Qu Qingdai to take away her shots.

Meanwhile, Qu Qingdai made a completely different choice from her previous life. In her previous life, she accompanied Jiang Baizhi, watching her effortlessly bargain with the vendors while buying groceries. She sincerely praised Jiang Baizhi, earning her a good impression with the audience. But back then, she was just a useless person cheering on from the sidelines, completely unaware of how much the livestream audience loathed her.

While she was carefully selecting vegetables for Jiang Baizhi, Jiang Baizhi's momentary negligence allowed the thug to steal all of her money. Jiang Baizhi panicked and secretly told Qu Qingdai about her helplessness. Seeing her in such a state, Qu Qingdai felt so distressed that she gave all her money to Jiang Baizhi while avoiding the camera, which led to a series of subsequent events.

Qu Qingdai stood there quietly, and the various scenes that Jiang Baizhi was about to face emerged in her mind. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.

Then, she slowly turned around, took firm steps, and left without looking back. She knew that Jiang Baizhi's fate was about to change, and she would watch it all unfold slowly as a bystander.

Meanwhile, Jiang Baizhi leisurely entered the market. With a sweet smile on her face, she spoke eloquently to the camera, explaining in detail and vividly how to select and sell various vegetables. As she spoke, she carefully and attentively selected the vegetables, seeming to be immersed in a magical world.

At the same time, the evil-minded scoundrel lurked around the market like a wild beast waiting for its chance, secretly searching for the right moment to strike. His cunning eyes darted around, constantly scanning the surroundings, not missing any possible flaws.

Suddenly, the gangster saw Jiang Baizhi walking towards the stall where the crowd was the most concentrated. His eyes suddenly lit up with excitement. He knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time had finally come.

He moved quietly, like a nimble cat, silently approaching Jiang Baizhi. His movements were extremely cautious, trying not to attract anyone's attention. As he approached Jiang Baizhi, he keenly noticed that the attention of the people around him was drawn to the goods on the stall. It was the perfect opportunity to strike.

So, taking advantage of the chaos in the crowd, he thrust out his sinister hand with lightning speed, quickly and accurately reaching into Jiang Baizhi's pocket and snatching out her purse. A smug smile flashed across his face the moment he succeeded, but he quickly concealed it. He feigned indifference, quickly turning around and blending into the crowd, then slowly and leisurely walking out without attracting anyone's attention. His movements were so skillful, as if he had done this countless times before.

Meanwhile, Jiang Baizhi, after buying her groceries, was about to pay when she felt around to find her wallet missing. Her face instantly turned pale as paper, and she panicked as she began to search anxiously, her eyes filled with fear and helplessness.

The audience in the live broadcast room also quickly noticed Jiang Baizhi's abnormality, and they all commented in the barrage to guess what was wrong with Jiang Baizhi.

[What's wrong with Xiaozhi? She looks so panicked!]

【Did you lose the money?】

"Is anything wrong? I'm so worried about her!"

What on earth happened?

[This doesn't look good...]

For a moment, the barrage was filled with voices of concern and doubt, as if the entire live broadcast room was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Here, the staff noticed Jiang Baizhi's panic and walked over to ask, "Miss Jiang, what's wrong with you? You look a little uneasy."

Jiang Baizhi was suddenly startled. She subconsciously bit her lips and tried to stay calm. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her pounding heart, but the panic surged in her heart like a tide and could not be calmed down.

She lowered her head slightly, avoiding the staff's inquiring gazes, and silently reminded herself to stay calm and not let others see her flaws. She clenched her fists tightly, trying to control her emotions.

She forced a smile, even though it seemed a bit forced, but she still tried to appear nonchalant. She slowly raised her head, pretending to be relaxed, and said to the staff, "It's okay, I just feel like I've bought enough and it's almost time to go home."

Jiang Baizhi controlled her emotions. She really didn't want anyone to find out her money had been stolen. She worried that if she were discovered, her hard-earned popularity would be completely destroyed, and her image and career would be severely impacted. She secretly thought to herself, planning to go fishing again tomorrow to earn money.

"Oh, okay, since Miss Jiang thinks you can go back, let's go back together. Miss Jiang, you still have to prepare dinner, so don't overwork yourself." Seeing that Jiang Baizhi seemed to be fine, the staff felt relieved and prepared to go back with Jiang Baizhi.

"Okay, okay, let's go back then." Jiang Baizhi said, then she turned to the camera and said with a smile: "Dear audience friends, please look forward to it next, I will show you my cooking skills!"

When the audience in the live broadcast room heard Jiang Baizhi say that it was okay, they felt relieved and left messages in the barrage expressing their anticipation for Jiang Baizhi's cooking demonstration.

[I'm glad Xiaozhi is okay. I was really worried about her!]

[Looking forward to Baizhi's cooking skills, it must be great! ]

[I hope Baizhi can prepare dinner successfully! ]

[I believe Baizhi’s cooking skills will not disappoint us]

Meanwhile, Jiang Baizhi returned to her lodgings with a trepidation in her heart. She tried to compose herself, then walked into the house and said to everyone with a smile, "Sorry to have kept you waiting. I'll prepare dinner for you now."

Tan Changqing suggested considerately, "There's no point in letting a girl prepare it all by herself. We all know a little bit about cooking, so we can help you with it and get dinner done faster."

"That's right, I don't know how to cook, but I can still wash vegetables." Chaoyan also agreed.

"Okay, then please help me prepare the preliminary work for the meal. I'll go and clean myself up first. I've been busy all day." Jiang Baizhi said these words gratefully, with genuine emotion in her eyes.

Afterwards, she returned to her room. To protect the privacy of the guests, bedrooms are usually not broadcast live. This time, Jiang Baizhi said she wanted to wash herself, so the staff did not follow her.

Jiang Baizhi entered the room and searched her body carefully, but couldn't find her purse. It suddenly dawned on her that she had lost it. Not only had she lost her earnings for the day, but she had also lost the food money for the other guests. She absolutely couldn't let anyone else know about this; she had to find a way to solve the problem herself.

She had wanted to ask Qu Qingdai for help, as her corn business was booming. But then she thought about how Qu Qingdai was usually indifferent to her. If she told her, and she told the production team, all her preparations would be wasted. She decided to catch more fish tomorrow, sell them at a higher price, and try to make back the money. Jiang Baizhi thought to herself, feeling her decision was perfect, so she settled down, got ready, and prepared to cook.

Jiang Baizhi walked briskly into the kitchen. What caught her eye was the already washed dishes for tonight. A joyful smile spread across her face, and she said gratefully, "Everyone is so thoughtful. Thank you! Now, let me show off my cooking skills. Everyone, just wait in the dining room. Dinner will be served in about half an hour."

As soon as Jiang Baizhi finished speaking, everyone left the kitchen one after another. But Lin Zhirou stayed. She walked to Jiang Baizhi's side and said with concern: "Xiaozhi, I see you are so tired by yourself. Do you want me to help you? Although I am not very good at cooking, I can help you pass the dishes or something."

Jiang Baizhi turned to look at Lin Zhirou, a subtle flicker of emotion in her eyes before she said calmly, "No, I can handle it on my own. Thank you for your kindness." In reality, Jiang Baizhi knew this was a rare opportunity to increase her fan base, and she didn't want to share it with anyone. She wanted to stand out in this episode with her culinary skills, attract more viewers, and add another highlight to her stardom.

After Lin Zhirou left sadly with a heart full of disappointment, Jiang Baizhi turned to face the camera with a warm smile on her face, and began to describe today's dishes in detail to the audience in the live broadcast room.

"Hello everyone watching the livestream! Today I'm preparing six dishes. The first one I'm going to tell you about is tofu fish soup. I caught some fish today, and I specifically saved the largest one. Now I'm going to start making it! First, cut the fish into appropriate pieces. Bring the water to a boil, add the ginger slices and scallions, and let them tumble in the water, releasing a charming aroma. Then carefully place the fish pieces into the pot and watch them gradually become white and tender in the water. After a while, the fish soup begins to thicken and take on an attractive milky white color. Please be patient while the fish soup simmers."

After Jiang Baizhi put the fish soup in the pot to boil, she continued, "While waiting for the fish soup, let's start making the other dishes. First, we'll make the mushrooms and vegetables. We need to wash and slice the fresh mushrooms, heat oil in a pot, add the mushrooms and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the vegetables and stir-fry together. Finally, sprinkle with appropriate amount of salt and seasonings, and a delicious dish of mushrooms and vegetables is ready. Next, we'll make the spicy and sour shredded potatoes. Put dried chili peppers in the pot, then add the shredded potatoes and stir-fry quickly. Add appropriate amount of vinegar and chili sauce, let the sour and spicy flavor bloom on the tip of the tongue, and it will greatly increase your appetite."

Jiang Baizhi said as she cooked, "Very good, two dishes are done. Next is scrambled eggs with tomatoes. This is a classic home-cooked dish. The sweet and sour flavors blend together, it's simply delicious. Of course, minced meat and eggplant and sauced spareribs are also indispensable. Everyone, watch me make it."

The comments in the live broadcast room instantly became lively, and the screen was filled with the audience's admiration.

[Baizhi is amazing, the cooking looks so professional! ]

[I feel like I can smell the aroma through the screen, my mouth is watering! ]

[This cooking look is so charming, love it! ]

[Baizhi is truly amazing, her cooking skills are second to none!]

[Wow, the comments are flooded with praise for Bai Zhi! ]

As time passed quietly, dinner was ready under Jiang Baizhi's careful preparation. Everyone showed surprise and appreciation when they saw Jiang Baizhi's delicious dishes placed on the table.

Bai Ren was the first to eagerly pick up a piece of minced meat eggplant and pop it into his mouth. His eyes widened instantly as the delicious flavor instantly filled his taste buds. He cracked a rare smile and said, "I can't believe you're such a good cook, Jiang Baizhi." A hint of surprise and approval lingered on his face.

"Well, it's good." Chao Yan, who had already tasted the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, nodded slightly. There was a look of satisfaction in his eyes and a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

"You are really worthy of it, Xiaozhi, it's so delicious!" Lin Zhirou's eyes were sparkling, and she looked at Jiang Baizhi like twinkling stars, her face filled with a happy and joyful smile.

"I'm looking forward to the dishes for the next two days." Tan Changqing said with anticipation, his eyes full of longing for future delicacies.

"Well, it's okay!" Qu Qingdai said lightly. Ever since she married Su Jingmo, her taste has become very picky. She really doesn't like Jiang Baizhi's dishes. If she hadn't seen everyone talking about it, she wouldn't even bother to say anything perfunctory.

"Don't praise me, I feel embarrassed. As long as you like it, that's enough." Jiang Baizhi said shyly, a blush appeared on her face, and she automatically ignored Qu Qingdai's words.

When the audience saw this, they were instantly excited and comments flooded in like a tide.

What's wrong with Qu Qingdai? Everyone is praising Xiaozhi, why does she look so disgusted?

[Yeah, everyone else is expressing their approval of Jiang Baizhi's cooking skills, but Qu Qingdai seems quite unimpressed. If she's capable, she can do it!]

I don't understand why Qu Qingdai is acting like this. Everyone is happily praising Xiaozhi, but she's putting on airs. It's really speechless.

Qu Qingdai's reaction is really unsociable.
