Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy

Chapter 89: Braised Pork Rice (Part 2)

Today’s live stream might have seemed to achieve the same result as the ’100% Braised Pork Rice’ tutorial from that post, but in reality, things were quite different! While she had reached one hundred million followers, once the broadcast began, her audience shifted from young viewers to their parents and grandparents.

This slight generational shift naturally made things much quieter.

However, after Jiang Qiuqiu commented on how quiet everyone was, the bullet-comment chat suddenly lit up with activity.

#This smells amazing! The young lady’s got some real skill!#

#Whose disciple are you? That knife work is impressive.#

#Your demeanor reminds me of my days on the battlefield!#

...

As Jiang Qiuqiu read the comments, she couldn’t help but feel that today’s chat had a strange, dad-like vibe.

She bantered with this more mature audience for a bit, making small talk as she prepared the day’s Rice. To make truly delicious braised pork rice, another essential component is the accompanying braised egg.

Normally, the eggs should be cooked in the pot along with the braised pork. However, because interstellar eggs were all too large, she couldn’t find a single small one even after searching all over Taotao Fresh. That’s why Jiang Qiuqiu had prepared the eggs in advance.

"Adding an egg to the braised pork rice adds wonderful layers of texture. The crumbly yolk and the firm white are both rare delicacies, you know."

"Today’s stream is going to run a little long, so let’s get the plates and side dishes ready before the braised pork is done!"

Jiang Qiuqiu hadn’t been very skilled at plating before, but over time, she had slowly become an expert.

Thirty round plates were arranged neatly. She opened the steamer to reveal the fluffy rice she’d prepared earlier, then used a special oval-shaped spoon to take a scoop from the large container—

An excellent chef’s hand is always steady. With a gentle flick of the wrist, the steaming, fragrant Rice took shape in the spoon before she pressed it onto a snow-white plate, creating a small, steaming, snow-capped mountain.

Soon, a small mountain of rice sat on each of the thirty plates. But a field of pure white was too plain. Using chopsticks, she picked up the green vegetables that had been warming on the stove and laid them neatly beside the Rice, then added a spoonful of finely chopped braised egg.

The contrast of white and green already gave the plating a rather artistic flair.

Jiang Qiuqiu timed everything perfectly. Just as everyone finished watching her plate the dishes, the braised pork was almost ready.

As the camera zoomed in on a small stove to the side of the kitchen, the sensory robot slowly approached, and the ’aroma’ in the live stream suddenly intensified.

At first, Old Yang thought the younger generation was just naive, which was why they were so devoted to some young streamer from the live broadcast section.

In his mind, the most delicious food he’d ever had was back on the battlefield, cooked by his old squad leader’s own hands—

That was the finest flavor in the world.

But the longer he watched, the more he and the group of people next to him began to realize they were about to eat their words!

The initial steps were quite ordinary.

Just dicing the meat. The knife work was indeed impressive; for a young woman to possess that level of skill, she had to have some genuine talent.

Old Yang felt a flicker of anticipation.

But the moment that truly made everyone lean forward in their seats was when the pot of meat was placed on the heat.

The aroma of sizzling oil and meat filled the air, instantly awakening the most primal, gluttonous Genes in any carnivore.

Next came the stewing. At first, the aroma wasn’t very distinct, and Old Yang began to think it would be an anticlimax. But who could have known—

The sensory robot shifted its position.

A rich, fragrant aroma filled the senses, and the GURGLE GURGLE of the bubbling sauce went straight to their ears.

Then, Jiang Qiuqiu lifted the lid of the pot.

Everything that had been held back surged forth, rushing wantonly into the heart of every single viewer.

Its color and aroma were both perfect.
