Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 157: You Can’t Be Picky

The spreading aroma was naturally mouth-watering.

Jiang Qiuqiu picked up a small bowl, scooped some Fish with Pickled Greens into it, and her impromptu food tasting began once more!

"I know you’re all curious about what Fish with Pickled Greens tastes like. Since there are only one hundred million spots, half of you won’t get to try it. So, allow me to have the first bite and describe the taste for all my unlucky fans out there."

[Unlucky fans: ???]

[Unlucky fans: I feel so offended.]

[If you really felt bad for us, you’d just make more portions. Wouldn’t that be better than this?]

The five-millimeter thickness was perfect. The fish went into the boiling water, and in just a few moments, the tender slices naturally curled up, revealing their delicate white texture. The moment it entered her mouth—

The sourness hit the back of her throat first. It was intense but not unpleasant. On the contrary, it was as if her taste buds had been jolted awake, sparking an intense craving for more food.

The fish was silky smooth. With just a gentle press of the tongue, it felt like it could slide right down her throat.

Jiang Qiuqiu explained as she ate. Next, she picked up a piece of the pickled greens. They had a strong flavor, and the stems had turned a rather dark green after pickling, which didn’t look particularly appealing.

But the moment she bit down, a sour flavor exploded in her mouth, splashing juice everywhere. The crisp, refreshing texture of the stems made it impossible to stop after just one bite.

Jiang Qiuqiu was thoroughly enjoying her meal.

Her viewers were indignant.[Stop eating! Hurry up and start dishing it out! I want to eat too, boo hoo hoo!]

[It’s happening, it’s happening, it’s happening!]

After a sip of broth, Jiang Qiuqiu finally put down her bowl. She aimed the camera at a set of small bowls and white Rice that had already been laid out. "I have to give a shout-out to my robot assistant. It’s awesome. It got all the Rice ready while I was doing the taste test."

"Friendly tip: Fish with Pickled Greens tastes even better with Rice. The more you eat, the better it gets."

"Alright, I’ll start dishing it out now!"

The familiar large ladle plunged into the pot, instantly scooping up snow-white fish slices and pickled greens.

The fish and vegetables tumbled into a bowl. A ladle of steaming hot broth was poured over them, and served with a side of Rice, a simple yet delicious dinner was ready.

After preparing two or three bowls, Jiang Qiuqiu had her robot assistant scan them for the live stream. "I’ve been very fair with the portions today," she announced. "I tried to put about the same amount of fish in every bowl, so feel free to pick whichever one you like."

She had barely finished her sentence when someone protested on screen—

[No! No! They’re not the same! You didn’t portion the pickled greens evenly!]

Jiang Qiuqiu: ...

Upon hearing that, people who originally thought all the bowls were the same had a sudden realization. ’Oh, that’s right!’

’Even if the pickled greens don’t look like the most delicious part, they’re still part of the dish! If we’re choosing, we should definitely pick the bowl with more stuff in it.’

’The number of people online is lower this time, and a lot of them were yelling that they couldn’t stand the flavor. With fewer people, if I take my time to choose, there should still be a spot left for me.’

’I’ll just take a second to pick the best one!’

...

But reality was about to prove that was all wishful thinking.

Mei Lin had decided she would only pick a bowl with the perfect balance of fish and greens. Her eyes scanned several bowls, but she found them all lacking. ’I’ll just wait,’ she thought.

Jiang Jiang, standing beside her, looked like he was about to say something but held his tongue. He remembered what the young streamer had just said and decided to keep his mouth shut.

Jiang Qiuqiu’s serving speed gradually picked up, as did the robot’s upload speed.

Before long, all the available portions were up on the live stream.

Mei Lin still hadn’t picked a suitable bowl, but she finally came to her senses. ’I have to grab one now! Otherwise, I’ll end up like those people who missed out on the dumplings, all that careful choosing for nothing.’

The moment the thought crossed her mind, she hit the button.

However, in that single instant, the number of viewers in the stream surged, and all the portions vanished.

Mei Lin angrily slammed her hand on the table.

"Damn it, how did they all disappear in a flash!"
