Chapter 776: Chapter 795: Master Huang Can Even Rival Jiang Qiuqiu
Who doesn’t love free gifts and surprises?
This made the Little Yellow Man, who had secretly placed two orders, very excited as well.
A gift!
News of the giveaway quickly reached Qian Song.
Normally, when one side runs a promotion, the competitor is bound to get worried and flustered.
But not Qian Song.
He had a strange way of thinking. He believed that with Qian Xingxing’s side running a promotion at this opportune moment, it must be because they were scared of how well his crab roe sauce was selling.
And just like that, he calmed down.
The 24th.
Interstellar Fresh Express quickly sent out the sauces to all the eager "sauce waiters."
Among the many packages were the free jars of crab roe sauce that Jiang Qiuqiu had prepared for her fans and some of the Little Yellow Men.

Little Cookie was also a conflicted "sauce waiter," torn between two sides.
And why was she conflicted?
Because she had pre-ordered Master Huang’s Crab Roe Sauce from the Federation’s livestream, and she had also bought Streamer Juju’s Spicy Googoogoo Meat Sauce.
Both were so delicious.
This poor university student, in her quest for sauce, had completely emptied her wallet.
’It’s okay... Once the sauce arrives, I can just eat it with Rice and save money on meals.’
After an anxious wait spent scrolling through all sorts of reviews, her package finally arrived.
The school’s package center sent her a notification—a delivery had arrived!
She happily got dressed. As she ran to catch a Hovercar, Little Cookie couldn’t help but wonder, ’Wow, one of my packages is here. Which one do I hope it is?’
Her rational mind told her she’d be happy with either.
But inexplicably, her subconscious was hoping... for the meat sauce.
GASP!
’Is the meat sauce tastier than the crab roe sauce?’
’No way.’
’That’s Master Huang we’re talking about, the standard-bearer of the Revolving Restaurant. Or does this just mean I prefer spicy food?’
Little Cookie didn’t dare to dwell on it.
Lost in her tangled thoughts, she arrived at the cold storage station and picked up her package.
Overcome with curiosity, she couldn’t wait until she got home and opened the box on her way back. A little bit of disappointment crept in. ’Ah, it’s the crab roe sauce.’
’I guess I really am a girl who loves intense flavors.’
But Little Cookie was good at managing her emotions. By the time she got back to her dorm, she was happy again.
’It’s all good, it’s all good. The crab roe sauce is delicious too!’
However, once back in her dorm, she took out the jar and was surprised to find that the packaging for the crab roe sauce had changed.
It was no longer the slightly ornate packaging from before. Instead, it had become a bit... a bit plain.
’Hmm.’
’It’s been switched to a transparent glass jar, too.’
Her first thought wasn’t about plagiarism or jumping on a bandwagon. Instead, she wondered, ’Have crab prices gone up? Are they cutting costs on packaging?’
’The amount inside hasn’t shrunk, has it?!’
Phew.
Thankfully, the volume was the same. She didn’t care about the packaging; she was just worried there’d be less sauce.
Rubbing her hands in anticipation, she steamed some Rice, got out her bowl, and gulped before forcefully twisting open the lid of the crab roe sauce.
The dark metal lid came off, and a glistening, orange-yellow layer of oil was instantly revealed.
A thick, rich aroma instantly wafted into her nose.
Little Cookie, still holding the lid, froze for a second.
’This?’
...
’Did the crab roe sauce smell like this last time?’
Being a total foodie, she immediately grabbed a spoon, scooped up a dollop of sauce, and popped it into her mouth to satisfy her curiosity.
Then came the taste—even more intense and overpowering than the aroma.
The umami flavor exploded in her mouth, threatening to overwhelm all her other senses. At the zenith of this savory wave, the texture of the crab meat was a subtle, fleeting presence—
She smacked her lips a few times, and the sauce, meat and all, melted away completely.
Her eyes instantly lit up!
Damn!
’This is so good!’
’Master Huang is amazing!’
’Has he been streaming less because he was perfecting the recipe?’
’He’s a chef from the Federation’s Revolving Restaurant, all right! Mmm! This flavor can totally go head-to-head with the Googoogoo Meat Sauce!’
’It might even... it might even be better!’
’The flavor of umami is more profound than spice, leaving a lingering, fragrant aftertaste.’
After finishing her lunch with the sauce, Little Cookie, her heart filled with excitement and a surging adoration for Master Huang, posted her heartfelt review to various public foodie forums, including but not limited to "Master Huang’s Foodie Circle" and the "Federation Livestream Food Zone."
Her post was met with a chorus of agreement.
