Chapter 706: Chapter 725: Using Your Own Words Against You
She reciprocated in kind, announcing that she would do 15 live streams.
She had already streamed seven times. In each stream, she cooked Master Huang’s signature dishes from his rotating restaurant, as well as dishes for which he had previously shown the final product but never demonstrated the detailed process.
Once these streams began, they provoked a strong reaction from the Federation Live Broadcast Company.
They sent hordes of fans and paid trolls to New Star, the Star Network, and other online communities to post articles accusing Jiang Qiuqiu of plagiarism.
Jiang Qiuqiu, not to be outdone, reposted a certain media outlet’s post and commented, "Dishes are born from nature; any skilled hand can cook them."
She also jumped into the comments to reply to a few fans.
Jiang Qiuqiu: Why would you think these dishes are hard to make? Isn’t it as easy as lifting a finger?
Jiang Qiuqiu: Hiding things? Why would I? I’m never secretive. If everyone learns how to make it, that’s great. I’d be happy for all of you.
Afterward, Master Huang sued Jiang Qiuqiu for infringement.
The court also dismissed Master Huang’s lawsuit on the grounds that ownership of a recipe was "indefinable."
This made the rival camp absolutely furious.
The rival fans were hopping mad. Jiang Qiuqiu’s fans couldn’t even be bothered to type out new responses; they just dredged up a massive thread, screenshotted some of Master Huang’s most rabid fans’ comments, and used them to clap back.
Including, but not limited to:
[Hee hee, even the law says we’re not in the wrong. What do you have to say?]
[It’s perfectly normal for dishes to be similar, isn’t it?]
...
All of this left Master Huang feeling extremely irritated.

"I’m about to start, so watch closely, everyone."
"When you buy Gugu meat on Taotao Fresh, you can ask the shop owner if they can sell you the tenderloin cut. That part is the best for making shredded meat."
"Be careful when you’re slicing. You must cut it into long strips of even thickness, like this. If you’re not good at slicing, you can ask for some outside help. Getting it to look about like this is good enough."
Jiang Qiuqiu demonstrated the process for the dish step by step. After slicing came the stir-frying. Because she’d been doing so many instructional streams recently, Jiang Qiuqiu had purchased many small cooking-assistant robots.
These included temperature-monitoring robots, automatic timer robots, and digital scales.
This way, she could precisely state the oil temperature, the stir-frying time, and the ratio of main ingredients to seasonings.
The hot oil instantly seared the pink meat white. The tenderness of the meat is often decided in that single moment; heat control is the most crucial part of stir-frying shredded meat.
Too much heat, and the meat will become tough.
While it was still tender, she added chili peppers and other dry seasonings. The aroma quickly spread as the bright red peppers clung to the glossy, soy-sauce-colored shreds of meat.
The spicy fragrance wafted out—a stimulating and powerful aroma that made one’s mouth water uncontrollably.
Soon, the dish was ready.
Steam swirled in the air.
"See? I told you it wasn’t hard. Someone with quick hands can finish this whole dish in just over ten minutes," she said with a cheerful smile, dividing the pan of meat into three portions and placing them on top of the bowls of white Rice prepared by the robots.
Then, from her own pantry, she brought out some desserts, green vegetables, and soups she had saved from before.

[I see it! Juju has a huge stockpile!]
[Juju works hard at cooking even when she’s not live!]
[She’s going to school and cooking? I thought Juju was in the Mecha Single Soldier System?]
"That’s right, I’m in the Mecha Single Soldier System. But there’s no rule that says students from the Soldier System can’t cook~"
"Alright, there’s plenty to go around! Same as always, I’ll upload them directly. Everyone can choose two portions. Make sure you look at the options carefully before choosing, or you might pick the wrong one."
She said there was a choice, but it was all over in an instant.
Those who were slow or indecisive could only pick from what was left over.
