Chapter 414 - 433: Preparing for the New Year’s Eve Dinner
When Jiang Qiuqiu bought the tofu, she wanted to make up the price difference from Wanxing’s previous purchase.
Boss: Juju, you’re treating me like a stranger.
Boss: I’m a member of your fan club, too! Please, respect my status as your fan! I *want* to spend money on you. It’s a real insult for you to transfer Star Coins to me. It’s just some tofu!
Boss: I have a huge business. I definitely won’t go bankrupt over a little tofu!
Jiang Qiuqiu had only said one thing about the transfer, but the boss replied with a barrage of messages.
Jiang Jiujiu: ...
Jiang Jiujiu: I was just worried you couldn’t afford it.
Boss: [Image] [Image] [Image] These are all my plantations. Don’t worry, I can absolutely afford it. The supply is only short because I can’t produce it fast enough.
Jiang Jiujiu: Alright then.
Boss: If you weren’t insisting, I wouldn’t even want to take your money for the tofu this time! If you really want to thank me, Juju, why not send me one of your dishes? I really want one. I’ve tried and tried so many times, but I’ve never managed to get one.
Jiang Jiujiu: There are too many people participating this time. The workload would be too massive if I sent a dish to everyone.
Jiang Jiujiu: The New Year is coming up. How about I treat you all to a New Year’s Eve dinner instead?
Boss: ? What New Year’s Eve dinner?
Jiang Jiujiu: Hmm... you’ll find out when the time comes.
Jiang Jiujiu: Okay, that’s enough chitchat. The noon stream is about to start, so I have to go now.
Boss: Go! Hurry, don’t be late! I’m waiting to watch!
Seeing the boss was even more anxious than she was, Jiang Qiuqiu couldn’t help but chuckle. She turned off her terminal and went into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, fresh tofu was placed in steel basins on either side.
They say humans are the most intelligent species.
Jiang Qiuqiu had originally only provided the shop owner with a recipe for regular soft tofu. But through his own experimentation, he had not only made soft tofu, but also figured out how to make firm tofu.
This, in turn, reminded Jiang Qiuqiu of another delicious tofu dish.
After a moment’s thought, she finalized the menu for today’s "Tofu Feast." Though it was called a feast, it was really just four dishes: stuffed tofu; the fried tofu that had appeared at her stall; a light, palate-cleansing tofu soup; and finally, braised tofu in a tomato sauce. Four different flavors, making for a complete meal.
She wasn’t sure how many people would watch the stream today. As of early morning, her channel’s followers had exceeded two billion, and she had successfully ranked up her star level twice in one week. Now, the number of copies she could create from a single portion of food had jumped to twenty million. Assuming one billion people were watching online, she would only need to make 50 portions.
’In that case, I can cut each piece of tofu a little bigger.’
After sorting everything out, she saw it was almost 12:00. Jiang Qiuqiu freshened up, activated the camera bot, logged into her terminal, and opened the stream a little early.
Her fans flooded in instantly.
Look what I’ve been waiting for! Two streams in one day!!
Our Juju won’t be too tired, will she? Boo hoo... I know you might be exhausted, but I can’t help but cheer with joy!
"Don’t worry, everyone. I’ll manage my time well. I won’t get too tired."
"It’s not quite 12:00 yet, so let’s wait a bit for today’s new guests."
They’re guests now, but maybe after today’s stream they’ll become part of the family, hahaha.
Speaking of which, this is hilarious. Who organized this event anyway? I heard one of the big shots from the fan group took the lead. LMAO, I’m dying, hahaha. It just blew up out of nowhere. Everyone in my circles is talking about it~
I’ve been recommending her to my older relatives and everyone, and they always say, "Oh, is that the one with the fried tofu that Professor Liu sneaks off to eat?" And I’m always like, YES YES YES! Hahaha.
It wasn’t just outsiders enjoying the gossip about Professor Liu; Jiang Qiuqiu’s own fans were eating it up too.
Everyone discussed it with wild abandon.
A single bullet comment quietly scrolled past: "Is it really that funny?" However, because their VIP level was low and the comment wasn’t very interesting, nobody paid it any attention.
Amid the idle chatter, the clock ticked toward 12:00. The number of viewers in the stream gradually climbed, slowly rising from 1.1 billion to 1.4 billion.
When the time was right, Jiang Qiuqiu looked toward the camera bot. "Hello, everyone, and a warm welcome to the newcomers in my food stream today. I’m Jiang Jiujiu, and I’ve prepared a Tofu Feast for you all. We’ll be having tofu prepared in four different ways, so any fans of tofu won’t want to miss this!"
