Chapter 758: Chapter 777: A Livestream with a Surprise
["Sigh, looks like another month where we won’t see Juju!"]
["We only get to see this much of Juju right before she’s gone for a long time!"]
["It’s a shame, but we should be understanding. Juju’s going to do a free clinic event."]
["Understanding is one thing, but I just can’t bear to see her go... I’ll miss Juju!"]
["The user above is so fake. Will you miss Juju, or Juju’s hands...?"]
The live comments were a colorful mix.
Jiang Qiuqiu wielded her kitchen knife, cooking nonstop. Her recent streams were more like cooking practice sessions; she didn’t interact much with the comments, her eyes focused solely on the vegetables before her, cooking one pot after another, filling one plate after another.
Nearly every plate in the house was being used to hold the food. The robot butler stood on the other side of the stove, and as soon as Jiang Qiuqiu finished portioning a dish, it would scan and upload it.
"This recent batch is probably enough for two months! If you manage to get some, you can eat it all at once, or you can savor it one dish a day~"
"I hope you all enjoy the food!"
With food to eat, they were definitely happy.
Night gradually fell.
The flames on the stove were still dancing, steam still billowed from the wok, and the lights were on.
New ingredients appeared on the cutting board.
「Five hours passed.」
Viewers in the live comments came and went. Some left for evening self-study sessions, others for night shifts, only to come back and find that Qiuqiu was, unbelievably, still streaming.
["!"]
["Even if this is to make it up to us, you don’t have to work this hard..."]
["You’ve been at it for so long, Juju. You should rest!"]
Seeing her work non-stop for so long, everyone started demanding that Juju take a break.
The pork ribs were chopped into even-sized pieces. Qiuqiu smiled and looked up at the camera drone. "You’re all overthinking it~"
"Today’s stream isn’t just to make it up to you all~ For a Spirit Healer who specializes in food, cooking is also a form of training." Jiang Qiuqiu picked up her spatula. "I train often in my spare time, too. The only difference today is that I’m in front of a camera."
"This is the last dish for tonight. I was originally planning to make sweet and sour pork ribs, but a lot of fans in the comments said they didn’t want sweet and sour and preferred something spicy. So, today I’ll make spicy pork ribs."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Qiuqiu scooped up the small pork ribs.
The blanched ribs were placed in a large strainer. She heated oil in the wok, tossed in the chili peppers, and the high heat made the capsaicin bloom. The ribs tumbled in the wok, quickly absorbing the spicy flavor.
As they tumbled, the pale meat turned a seared, golden-brown. Soon, with constant stir-frying, the ribs cooked evenly, the meat becoming tender and juicy.
The simple flavor profile was gradually embellished, becoming richer and more complex. Once they were about done, she added a splash of water for a quick steam, and then they were ready to be plated.
During the brief waiting period, Qiuqiu asked everyone how many dishes they managed to snag today.
The answers in the comments varied widely; some got seven, eight, or nine dishes, while others got eleven, twelve, or even thirteen. Overall, the results were good and met Qiuqiu’s expectations.
Before everyone’s eyes, the last meat dish was portioned out and uploaded by the robot butler.
While it was uploading, she had already started tidying up the kitchen, placing the ingredients she would need into a temperature-controlled container to take with her when she left.
The rest could be left for the robot to handle!
Today was already August 16th. According to Qiuqiu’s team’s prediction for the crab roe sauce release date, the other party would probably start officially selling the sauce tomorrow or the day after.
Of course, predictions could be wrong. But it didn’t matter if they were, because even if the other party had a different date in mind, they would change it after today.
As a thought occurred to her, Qiuqiu repositioned the camera drone and said with a smile, "Oh, right! The company might be launching a small event in a little while~"
