Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 340 - 339: Start Grilling: Pork Belly, Beef, and Eggplant

She looked down at the child, who gazed back up at her. The bruise just inside the collar of her little top was clearly visible.

Tuantuan was such a lovely child.

She deserved to be cherished.

"Mama."

"Good girl." She hugged the child.

Wang Henli was the first to finish skewering his ingredients.

He had prepared three dishes for his stream today. Although skewers were the main event, he also had a peppery meat stew and a pot of clear-broth seafood. He had to manage his time carefully for all three, so he started by preparing the soup base first.

The soup base, slightly spicy and enriched with animal fat and aromatic spices, quickly began to release its fragrant aroma.

The scent was a bit strong, but it was the first to draw the attention of the passing crowd.

The number of viewers in Wang Henli’s stream rose slightly. A quick glance revealed that he actually had a million more viewers than Jiang Qiuqiu.

Victory was exhilarating, doubling his drive. He chopped the meat and bones and prepared the seafood even faster.

Compared to his ’ecstasy,’ Jiang Qiuqiu on the other side was the picture of perfect calm.

She was still skewering her ingredients.

She had just finished skewering all the vegetables, and most of the meat was done as well. "We’ll marinate this last bit of meat over here for now."

"For example, with these poultry wings and legs, you make a few slits and then rub on the marinade we just prepared—"

"This isn’t the ideal method. Ideally, you should marinate them first and then chill them in the fridge for a day. That would allow the flavors to penetrate deeper, but we don’t have enough time today, so we..."

Someone in the comments immediately pointed out that she always said this: [Ahhh! It’s never the ideal method! When will we get to see the ideal method? Looking forward to it, QAQ!]

She chuckled. "If you all aren’t tired of this after we’re done, we can do one before the next round of the PK battle starts. How does that sound?"

[Okay!]

[How could we possibly get tired of it!]

[Why is there a next round? Isn’t this the final one?]

[Are you dumb? This is the last round for the Food section. After this, she has to PK against other sections!]

[Ohhh! So that’s how it is. This is my first time watching, I had no idea.]

As time passed, all the ingredients were skewered. Jiang Qiuqiu immediately rolled out the large barbecue grill from before and brought out the box of charcoal she had bought. As she arranged the charcoal, she set out the barbecue sauce and oil she had just prepared.

The number of viewers in her stream dropped a little more.

This disadvantageous situation was instantly reversed the moment smoke began to rise as the charcoal fire met the food.

Grilling food isn’t hard. The hard part is grilling it *well*.

Lush green chives, the king of barbecue, were spread across the grill. Brushed with a mildly spicy barbecue oil, the green stalks were quickly covered in a glistening sheen. They softened from tough to tender, letting out a small wisp of smoke.

There were also cubes of beef fat and shrimp, pork belly and slices of lotus root.

Grilled lotus root was Jiang Qiuqiu’s personal favorite. The slightly thick slices were brushed with a layer of oil and placed over the charcoal fire. The high heat cooked the pristine white slices, turning their exteriors a faint yellow. One bite delivered a mouthful of crispness and a lingering, satisfying aftertaste.

As more items were placed on the grill, the aroma of the barbecue intensified.

This barbecue aroma was unique. It wasn’t the specific scent of any one food, but the exquisitely delicious, down-to-earth fragrance created by all the different ingredients mingling together.

In addition to the skewers, Jiang Qiuqiu also made a roasted eggplant.

However, a large roasted eggplant took up a lot of space, so Jiang Qiuqiu only made one for the entire stream.

The purple eggplant was brushed with oil, softening as it cooked. Then, she sliced it open with a small knife.

The wonderfully beautiful purple skin split open instantly, revealing the pure white, fibrous flesh inside. She spread it open and poured in the minced garlic sauce she had prepared earlier.

Here, the eggplant and garlic would begin their magical fusion.
