Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 426 - 445: Let’s Make Sweet and Sour Pork with Pineapple

When Jiang Qiuqiu woke up, it was already almost four o’clock. In another half hour, her PK against Posena would begin.

The half-hour passed in the blink of an eye. She opened her stream three minutes early, and the fans who had been lying in wait instantly flooded in. Before the streams were connected, Jiang Qiuqiu chatted briefly with her fans.

"Today, I’m going to make a sweet and sour Gugu Beast dish."

"Yes, that’s right, I’m making another Gugu Beast dish. It seems I always bring it out whenever there’s an important event. There’s no special reason, really. It’s just that the Gugu Beast is so delicious; it tastes great no matter how you prepare it."

Someone in the bullet comments asked if Jiang Jiujiu was feeling confident or nervous today.

"I’m always confident in myself, and I’ll perform to the best of my ability. As for whether I win or not—"

That was another matter entirely.

"It starts in one minute. Before we begin, let me say one last thing: for this PK, only fans who stay in the stream from start to finish will be eligible to vote, so please don’t leave the stream!"

"And finally, I hope you’ll all vote for me today."

In an instant, the bullet screen was flooded with a single chant: "Your vote, my vote, puts Juju on top!"

Jiang Qiuqiu couldn’t help but laugh.

Just as she finished laughing, the time ticked over to four-thirty. The central system connected Jiang Qiuqiu’s and Posena’s streams right on schedule.

Posena had blue hair and monolids. Her appearance wasn’t as delicate or charming as rumored or as seen in her retouched photos. In person, she radiated more of a wild energy.

She was the top streamer in the Spirit Healing category, with 6.8 billion fans across the entire network. Within the Federation’s streaming platform, her follower count was second only to Xiong Xin.

After her stream was linked with Jiang Jiujiu’s, the two exchanged greetings as a matter of course.

After that, they didn’t speak again. Jiang Qiuqiu averted her gaze from Posena’s broadcast and turned her attention back to her own cutting board.

"Welcome, everyone, to my food stream. I’m Jiang Jiujiu, and this is the second-to-last match of the PK competition. The dish I’m preparing today is—Pineapple Sweet and Sour Pork."

As she finished speaking, the camera drone zoomed in for a close-up of the pineapple, pork rump, and bell peppers on the counter.

The spiky pineapple didn’t look edible at all.

...Why this?

Ah! I’ve had that before, it’s disgusting!

Sweet and sour? That thing is way too sour, it’ll kill me.

"It won’t be that sour. The proper name for this fruit is pineapple, and there are many varieties. Some of the ones on Taotao Fresh are indeed quite sour..." When Jiang Qiuqiu had browsed the Taotao Fresh Food Network before, she had been stunned to find over thirty different varieties of pineapple.

She had ordered all of them in one go, only to find that some were mouth-puckeringly sour, while others were so cloyingly sweet they left a bitter aftertaste.

After much trial and error, she had finally chosen the one she was holding, which had the most suitable flavor.

"Before we begin cooking, let’s prepare the pineapple."

The outer rind was inedible, and peeling it piece by piece would be too much trouble. Time was limited. Jiang Qiuqiu simply grabbed the top of the pineapple and, in a few swift, clean motions, sliced off the entire outer layer.

Then, she carved off the yellow fruit. "For any fans who want to try this at home, you can take your time cutting it. That way, you’ll get more fruit."

"After cutting the fruit into small chunks, we’ll soak it in saltwater. And now, let’s move on to our old friend: the Gugu meat."
