Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 82: Jiang Qiuqiu’s Impromptu Eating Show

When it was time to eat, everyone fell silent.

It was almost time to end the stream. Jiang Qiuqiu was just about to log off when a message from Meimei came through on her dedicated line.

Meimei: Your stream is a bit short, which makes it hard to get you a good recommendation slot. Qiuqiu, could you stream for a little longer? Just enough to hit the half-hour mark.

Boiled Beef Slices was a very simple dish—so simple, in fact, that after she’d finished cooking and tasting it, her stream was still short of the half-hour mark.

To extend the stream, Jiang Qiuqiu took her little camera bot and a bowl of the Boiled Beef Slices into her small living room.

"It seems like a lot of you didn’t get to try the dish today, and I see you in the comments constantly asking those who did what it tastes like—"

As the dish’s "mama," Jiang Qiuqiu decided to give a firsthand demonstration. "Hearing it from others in the comments isn’t the same, so let me describe it for you myself!"

The little camera only captured the bowl, the table, Jiang Qiuqiu’s hands, and the brown sweater she was wearing today.

Oh, and her chopsticks.

The camera focused, and the once-blurry slices of beef came into sharp view as a delectable aroma streamed through the viewers’ sensors. "Let’s try a slice of beef first."

Then, the slice of beef disappeared, leaving only the sound of soft chewing.

After that came Jiang Qiuqiu’s sigh of satisfaction.

"I didn’t taste it while I was cooking, but it’s exactly as I expected."

"The first thing you notice is the numbing and the spiciness, probably from all the Sichuan peppercorns. The flavor of the beef itself is quite layered; after the heat subsides, you can taste the natural fragrance of the meat."

"The only slight drawback is that the slices are perhaps a bit too small. They disappear too fast."

The person on screen let out a soft chuckle. She then lowered her chopsticks and scooped up a huge clump of meat. "So, my advice is to grab a big bite when you eat this dish. A mouthful of meat makes for a much richer texture."

As Jiang Qiuqiu’s description got more and more detailed, the bullet screen was soon flooded with question marks.

#Is this what I think it is? You call this describing the food’s flavor? Isn’t this just to make me drool?#

#I’m a psychology major, and after watching this stream, I’m sensing some profound malice! It’s bad enough I didn’t get one of Juju’s slots, but now I have to stay here and watch her eat, torturing me? I haven’t even eaten yet!#

#Right... and, damn it! *Sighs like an overbearing CEO.* And yet I still can’t bring myself to leave this stream.#

#+1#

#Is this the true nature of humanity? Are we all masochists?#

#This woman had better not show her face! Or else she can expect to get a sack thrown over her head! I’m going to kidnap her, take her to my house, lock her in a dark room, and have her make me— every single day.#

#Braised Pigeon?#

#Fried Pigeon Cutlets?#

#BB-Sized Lean Meatballs?#

#Or Steamed Rice Rolls with Braised Bamboo Shoots?#

#Only kids make choices. I want it ALL!#

...

Amidst the cheerful atmosphere in the chat, Jiang Qiuqiu had already almost finished her Boiled Beef Slices.

There was a surprising amount of food in the bowl. She let out a small burp. "Overall, I think the bean sprouts are the best part. They soak up all the broth and get even crunchier."

"Thanks, everyone, for sticking around and watching at this hour."

"Hanging around just to watch because you couldn’t get a taste? Hmm..."

"Even though I always try to make extra, it seems like there are always people who don’t manage to get a slot—"

#So?! This topic! This topic! I smell a perk coming!#

"Juju is still a little ways off from a hundred million followers. But if I can level up by the next stream, I’ll prepare 30 portions of food, which should be about sixty million slots. That way, more than half of you will be able to enjoy it!"

"If we don’t make it, that’s okay too. I’ll still prepare 20 portions and release as many slots as I can!"
