Chapter 18: Seductive Fragrance

Star Harvester is a well-known tycoon on the Federation Star Network.

He once splurged tens of millions overnight to support his favorite female streamer.

For him, a million star coins are just pocket change for a few days.

Insiders revealed that Star Harvester is the sole heir of a prominent federation consortium in real life, born into wealth and handsome, truly a prince charming.

Therefore, many passerby fans and small streamers in the Federation have followed him. Some want to witness the tycoon’s generosity, while others dream of a perfect encounter with the wealthy son depicted in novels.

Recently, Star Harvester hasn’t appeared for a long time. The gossipers on the Federation Star Network were discussing whether he had returned home to inherit the consortium and become busy, hence not having time to watch live streams lately.

But just as the discussion was heating up, he suddenly reappeared.

He even gifted a flashy mecha suit in the live stream room of an unknown food circle small streamer!

The celebrity effect is terrifying.

Breaking ten thousand in a few seconds was just the beginning. Soon, the number of viewers in Jiang Qiuqiu’s live stream room began to skyrocket, from 10,000 to 100,000 to 200,000, finally jumping to 530,000 before gradually stabilizing.

Although only numbers could be seen and not faces, Jiang Qiuqiu felt like her live stream room had become more crowded.

With more people, the barrage became truly frightening, densely covering the screen. Jiang Qiuqiu couldn’t even read a single word, so she directly turned off the barrage.

These people came just in time, as the dishes were ready to be served.

With her bare hands holding the pot lid, she gently lifted it—

The aroma that had been trapped in the iron pot instantly wafted out. Different from the direct fragrance of fried meat, the scent of Braised gugu Meat was soft and delicate, gently permeating the nostrils, stirring up the long-suppressed appetite and making one’s throat roll involuntarily.

People who were previously arguing on the barrage suddenly paused.

[%￥%!!]

They were just arguing about why Star Harvester would reward an unknown streamer so much money, but now they understood!

[What’s this smell?]

[Is this a real food channel?]

[Someone said it’s Braised gugu meat? Is this dish made from gugu meat?]

[Can gugu meat be used to make dishes?]

The meager culinary skills led every wave of newcomers to ask the same questions.

An experienced senior quickly replied, [Yes, it can, it’s delicious.]

As the pot lid was completely lifted, the sauce-covered Braised gugu meat directly appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Different from fried pork chops, Braised gugu meat was much more beautiful in the eyes of interstellar people.

The originally disliked fat had turned into a crystal-clear sauce after several cooking processes. Under the light, each small square piece of pork belly was wrapped in thick sauce, making people’s appetites soar just by looking at it.

Today, Jiang Qiuqiu tasted the dish herself first.

“Mmm—” As she tasted the dish, all everyone could see was a pair of silver chopsticks holding a piece of meat disappearing into the screen, followed by—

The sound of gentle chewing, an unconscious sigh of satisfaction when savoring delicious food, and mm-hm sounds quickly became a symphony intertwined with human appetite.

[This, this sounds delicious.]

[Me too—]

“I tasted it first for everyone. It’s tender and just right, with a refreshing aroma. I didn’t add much sugar to the version I made today, it’s slightly savory.”

There were sounds of people swallowing saliva in front of the screen.

[Quick, let us try it!]

[Ugh, I don’t want to hear a mini-essay explanation, I want to eat it myself!]

“Alright, everyone must be getting impatient.”

Although she didn’t open the barrage, Jiang Qiuqiu could roughly guess what everyone was saying, “But please be patient and let’s appreciate the wonderful companion of Braised gugu meat, white rice.”

As the rice pot was opened, a completely different, long-lasting fragrance wafted out, different from the meat fragrance.

Watching this kind of live stream at around nine o’clock—

It’s truly a culinary feast!
