Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 241: Clear Broth and Spicy Broth

「Night fell.」

The fragrance from the simmering bone broth filled the entire courtyard, and all the food had been skewered. Jiang Qiuqiu ladled a bowl of broth for each of her three friends, then sent them over to the other villa.

"Come back for a late-night snack after the stream ends. We’ll have a few drinks today."

"Drinks?"

"Something sweet and sour. It’s really good."

"Then I’ll be over later!"

When everything fell silent, it was about 7:50 PM.

She tidied things up a bit. For the vegetables, Jiang Qiuqiu had already tossed things that needed a long time to cook, like radishes, into the stock. She also organized the leafy greens and put them aside.

She had previously custom-ordered all sorts of cooking tools from Taotao, and she now took out an extra-extra-extra-large divided hot pot.

She adjusted the camera-bot, and soon, the time jumped to 8:00 PM. Jiang Qiuqiu started her stream right on time.

"Welcome, everyone, to my food livestream. I’m Jiang Jiujiu, and today’s menu is—"

"Today’s menu is pretty long, so I won’t read it all out. You’ll see what it is for yourselves!"

With a wave of her hand, the camera-bot immediately zoomed in for a close-up of two large platters of ingredients.

The bullet comments immediately flashed with a stream of "???" and "?".

[...What is this?]

[I’m so confused. I think I see bamboo shoots and Gugu meat.]

[I think I see tofu and some leafy greens.]

[Bird eggs, and is that Bibi Beast Meat?]

[What is all this? Is Juju being that ambitious today, making so many dishes?]

The viewers were full of questions. Jiang Qiuqiu once again directed the bot, having it zoom in for a close-up on the divided soup pot in the center.

And now everyone was even more confused.

"I’m sure everyone’s curiosity about today’s menu has reached its peak! So let me reveal it now. Today, we’re making chuanchuan skewers."

"It’s a very famous dish from Ancient Earth. Delicious food blanched in hot broth, perfect for winter. Its special characteristic is that you can cook just about any ingredient in it."

This was something they had never seen or heard of, which only made them more curious.

"But enough talk. You won’t really get it just from my descriptions, so let’s just start cooking."

"Before we eat the skewers, we first need to make the soup base. Considering some fans in the stream like spicy food, and some fans... can’t handle spice, we’ll make two types of broth."

Into the left side of the pot, she poured the stock she had already prepared, pushing some of the large bones in as well. "Since making a good stock takes several hours, I prepared it in advance this afternoon."

"I’ve already recorded the steps for making the broth. After the stream, I’ll post it to Juju’s Circle. Any fans who want to make this dish can go watch it in the pinned post."

"Alright, after pouring the stock into the left side, we’ll take some mushrooms we bought from Taotao Fresh, slice them into moderately thick pieces, and toss them into the pot."

Mushrooms are one of nature’s most savory ingredients. The bone broth, simmered with delicious shiitake mushrooms, became a clear soup with a rich but pure flavor.

As for the spicy pot, due to material limitations and the fact that many Federation Genetic Hybrids are sensitive to spiciness, Jiang Qiuqiu didn’t make it too hot—just a mild spicy version.

This version still used the bone broth as a base, but she added Sichuan peppercorn oil, chili peppers, and some other seasonings.

Adding Sichuan peppercorns to the milky-white bone broth wasn’t very noticeable, but after pouring in a jar of chili paste, the pure white color was quickly stained by the spreading red.

She stirred the pot with a ladle, causing the chili that had sunk to the bottom to float back up.

The stove’s temperature gradually rose. Slowly, the liquid in both the regular and spicy pots began to bubble. The white broth rolled, and the aroma of bone, meat, and mushrooms wafted through the stream.

As the red oil in the spicy pot gently churned, it also released a piquant, fragrant aroma.

The combination of savory and spicy aromas, before anything had even been added, was already making people feel a little hungry for no reason.
