Chapter 730 - 749: The Plumpest Autumn Crabs
Chapter 730: Chapter 749: The Plumpest Autumn Crabs
Instructors and professors would give students more time to manage themselves—
’What should I practice? Where am I weakest?’
They were expected to gain insights and improve through self-training, creating their own unique systems of power and little tricks. This would lay the foundation for becoming excellent soldiers and outstanding individual combatants in the future.
This didn’t have much of an impact on Jiang Qiuqiu, except that she had to request less time off and could now slip away to the Spirit Healing Department during her free periods.
「Live stream day.」
The winds of July, the rains of August, a cool autumn—the perfect time to eat crab.
She seemed to have been eating a lot of meat and desserts lately. It was only today, as the fine autumn rain fell, that Jiang Qiuqiu remembered—oh, it was already autumn in the Federation.
Autumn crabs from the 21st century were exceptionally plump and delicious, and she was starting to crave them.
She took a look at Taotao Fresh and saw they were still selling crabs. The variety even seemed to have increased.
Jiang Qiuqiu browsed through the different types. Hmm... after looking around, she finally found a species of crab about the size of two fists with a blue-gray shell, perfect for making crab roe noodles.
She also bought a few meaty-looking crabs for steaming.
She was livestreaming every day now, so she didn’t have as much time per stream. She’d save the crab and rice cakes for next time.
’I’ll save it for next time and make a full-blown crab hot pot! I can add some vegetables I like, toss in some extra rice cakes, and that one dish can be the star of the whole show!’
The time was 5:59 PM. Back in her professor’s apartment, Jiang Qiuqiu turned on the lights in her room and activated the camera bot.
The crabs were in a basket next to the counter. She straightened her clothes.
The livestream was still dark, but every pair of eyes hidden in the blackness was sparkling with anticipation.
[AHHH! The good old days are back! That familiar feeling of waiting for a stream on an odd-numbered day!]
[My joy—and my whole family’s—has returned!]
[Now I don’t have to **** with my partner every day after work. I finally have something to do!]
[The comment above????]
[Although it’s a bit sob sob, let’s be real, watching the stream is more fun!!]
[Yellow card warning, you guys. Keep talking like that and you’ll get muted.]
[! Won’t say another word! Not another word!]
The clock struck six. Jiang Qiuqiu’s stream automatically went live, right on time. The screen lit up, and the face that screamed "delicious food" from top to bottom appeared.
Cheers erupted.
"Everyone’s as enthusiastic as ever~"
"Welcome, everyone, to my cooking livestream! I’m Juju, and it’s great to see you all! Today, I’ll be making a seasonal dish~"
"What’s a seasonal dish... It’s just something that’s best to eat during this particular season."
[In that case, every dish you make is a seasonal dish to me. I think if they were in front of me, they’d all be perfect to eat right now.]

Alright, the audience was as witty as ever. The camera quickly followed Qiuqiu’s hand to the basket on the side.
"These are our stars for today—crabs."
This wasn’t the first time the audience had seen crabs.
They seemed to recall tasting this delicacy during one of her earlier Federation streams.
"Today’s dishes are pretty simple. Everyone should be able to learn at least 1/2 of them."
[I don’t believe you. What level of "everyone" are we talking about?]
"Hmm..." Jiang Qiuqiu pretended to be deep in thought, then said, "If you have hands, you can do it."
[!]
The bar was certainly set low enough.
"Alright, enough chitchat. Let’s get started!"
"First, you need to prepare a steamer, one that looks just like this. You can find similar items for sale on Taotao, so you can buy one directly. A recommended store... you don’t really need one. Just find the cheapest one with a safety certification."
’It’s just a steamer. As long as it’s easy to use, it’s fine.’
