Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 81: The Academic God Must Find a Way

In the livestream, Jiang Qiuqiu had already ladled the poached spicy meat slices into a bowl.

It already looked like a respectable dish, but it still lacked the most crucial step. "The spiciness from the poaching has already soaked into the meat slices. Now, we’ll add a bit of a numbing sensation."

She placed Sichuan peppercorns, dried chili peppers, and cilantro on top of the meat slices, heated up some oil, and poured it right over them—

The hot oil hit the broth with a loud SIZZLE. The fragrance of the Sichuan peppercorns bloomed as the capsaicin was activated, all of it mingling and settling into the bowl. And with that, the poached spicy meat slices—with its glistening red oil and intoxicating aroma—was complete.

Due to her limited equipment, she didn’t make an extra-large portion of poached spicy meat slices this time. To allow more people a chance to taste it, each serving was just one small bowl.

Jiang Qiuqiu never liked to make people wait, so she turned on the scanner and scanned the dish immediately.

There was no countdown, but everyone watching the stream pulled up the ’Grab’ button in unison.

With tens of millions of people trying at once, the slot for the first bowl vanished in an instant.

Then the second bowl, the third—

Every slot released was a hot commodity. Despite the large number of servings, there were even more viewers, so some people were always bound to miss out.

Soon, all the servings had been claimed.

By this time, the number of viewers had exploded to over fifty-three million. Jiang Qiuqiu had released about thirteen million servings. The fact that roughly a third of the viewers were able to get one was already considered a high success rate.

But for the people who didn’t get one, zero was still zero.

The two dorm mates from the economics department had tried with all their might, but still came back empty-handed.

Neither of them got one.

Wanxing: This makes no sense.

"How could we be so unlucky today?"

Just as her heart turned to ash and she was about to log off and go to sleep, Jiang Qiuqiu pulled out the bowl of seasoning she had mixed earlier from the corner of her table.

"Didn’t someone say they wanted to taste the sauce?" Jiang Qiuqiu scanned the bowl. "Descriptions can only do so much. Curious fans can try it for themselves."

The timing of this was quite clever. The people who had managed to get the poached spicy meat slices were already enjoying their feast. Who would still be paying attention to a small bowl of broth?

Many of those who hadn’t gotten a serving were just as disheartened as Wanxing and had already left the stream.

There weren’t many people left in the stream.

But there were a surprising number of servings available for this bowl of broth!

Thanks to their youthful reflexes and sharp focus, Wanxing and Wei Mian finally managed to grab something in this round.

However—

Wei Mian looked at the red broth before her. "This... Xingxing, can this really be good? It looks a lot like some kind of Nutrient Liquid."

"No, it can’t be the same." Wanxing shook her head. "This was made by Juju."

’The hands of a master chef!’

...

The broth, as it turned out, wasn’t as good as the main dish. Just as Jiang Qiuqiu had said, the flavor was on the heavy side. The combined spiciness and saltiness were a bit much, and it was a little overwhelming if you drank too much at once.

But sipped in small amounts, it was still an exceptionally rare and delicious treat.

It was so good that Wei Mian remarked, "I take back what I said. If only Nutrient Liquid could taste this good."

Wanxing, on the other hand, was contemplating a deeper issue after she finished the broth. ’If even the "not-as-tasty" base broth is this delicious, then what in the world must the Poached Gugu Meat Slices taste like?’

"That... I guess we’ll just have to wait for it to come back."

"No."

Wanxing slowly shook her head. "It’s going to be too difficult. There will only be more and more people."

The viewer base is getting bigger and bigger, which means more and more people will be left empty-handed.

It’s too hard to leave it up to chance.

"I have to think of a way!" Wanxing clenched her fists!
