Chapter 28: Federal Star Network Live Stream

At 8 PM, unlike her usual routine, Jiang Qiuqiu didn’t open the live stream platform early. Instead, she slowly opened the live stream room after the clock passed at 8:05.

As soon as the live stream room opened, thousands of people flooded in.

[Why is Jiujiu slower today than usual?]

[Not even starting exactly at eight, it’s the first time that the host been late.]

Although it wasn’t much of a delay, everyone was teasing good-naturedly, and no one had a bad tone.

Jiang Qiuqiu’s voice was soft as she apologized to her fans, “I had something to attend to today and got a bit carried away.”

“So, welcome everyone to my live stream room. Today’s menu: Cheung Fun.”

She placed a row of raw ingredients directly on the table.

“Yesterday, I saw the buildings you guys made in the live stream community, and many fans speculated that Cheung Fun were made with intestines and rice flour. Guess what? You got it wrong.”

“Today, let’s explore the mysteries of Cheung Fun together.”

First, she used a food processor to grind the flour, something everyone could do.

Then, following the proportions, she mixed a large bowl of sticky rice flour with a little more than half a bowl of wheat flour. Adding water, she used a long bamboo stick to stir them into a rice milk.

Before this dish was steamed, it had no fragrance and looked ordinary. The onlookers were filled with question marks, but considering that everyone who doubted Jiang Qiuqiu in the past was eventually proven wrong, they patiently continued watching.

With the rice milk ready, she took out a square iron plate and arranged meat, lettuce, and bird eggs on one side.

Her hands moved quickly, spooning slurry onto the plate, gently shaking it to make it even. “Making Cheung Fun is actually quite simple. After the live stream is over, I’ll post the ingredients and the process in the live stream room. Fans interested can try it themselves.”

As Jiang Qiuqiu added bird eggs, lettuce, and meat, someone in the barrage suddenly asked if it was okay to add beef slices instead.

She contemplated for a moment, “Cheung Fun are a very inclusive delicacy; you can add almost any toppings you like. However, the size and variety of toppings will affect the steaming time of the Cheung Fun, and that’s up to you to control.”

As soon as they heard “up to you to control,” the barrage immediately began expressing doubts.

[EatingNonStop: If I could control it myself, I wouldn’t be here watching the live stream sobbing.]

[My brain tells me I can, my hand slaps me!]

[I can’t, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t control the heat!]

Everyone looked comically frustrated, and Jiang Qiuqiu laughed twice. “Alright, at this point, the water has boiled, and we can start steaming.”

When Jiang Qiuqiu started steaming the Cheung Fun, in the Terry’s Dormitory, the trio of mixed-race friends sat in front of three terminals watching the live stream.

Terry stared at the rice milk Jiang Qiuqiu put into the pot, smelling a somewhat familiar aroma. On the side, his two buddies were talking incessantly.

Chang Bei: “Why make this kind of thing? There’s no meat at all. It doesn’t look like it would taste good!”

Chang Bei: “Should add a big chunk of beef into it. That would give it more chewiness.”

“… ” Qiu Dao was speechless.

“Adding a big piece of beef in there, I’m afraid the slurry would steam apart, and the meat wouldn’t cook.” Qiu Dao was quite helpless.

Chang Bei said with natural air, “That’s why this shouldn’t be made! Just make a big piece of meat; it’s the most delicious!”

“You don’t understand.” Terry sneered. “These Cheung Fun are delicious! Full of flavor. Not much meat, but it’s especially tasty!”

“Crystal clear, smooth and tender, with the taste of eggs, meat bits, and even the lettuce has a refreshing taste…” As he spoke, he suddenly had a bit of a juice overflow.

He described it so enticingly, as if he had already tasted it himself.

However, being a live stream host, how could he have tasted it already?

Chang Bei complained that he was already Jiang Qiuqiu’s number one super fan, “Your imagination is so vivid, you can even simulate the taste of something you haven’t eaten.”

“Who says I haven’t eaten it!”

“…”

“Do you mean you’ve eaten it!?”

“Yes.” Terry, who had been brought down, helped Jiang Qiuqiu speak and maintained order in the live stream room. Then he revealed the situation of Jiang Qiuqiu sending him the details of the new dish privately.

Chang Bei: Starry-eyed for Jiujiu!

While these guys were chatting, the first pot of Cheung Fun had already come out of the steamer.

The fragrance of rice products wasn’t as domineering as the previous big piece of meat, but the soft and gentle aroma was exceptionally alluring. Especially after Jiang Qiuqiu poured a spoonful of special sauce over them, the crystal-clear Cheung Fun absorbed the fresh fragrance, and the barrage reached a new climax.

This time it was the territory of the audience!

[Although meat is much more delicious, finally, there’s a day without meat!!]

[Wuwuwu, I am one of the descendants of the Gugu tribe. I ate gugu meat with tears in my eyes a few days ago. Today is finally not the main event for gugu meat! Wuwuwu.]

[Wait a minute, the one above eating with tears… eating with tears while praising how delicious it is?]

[Oh, it has a visual now!]

[Why are you discussing so much? I have one question! Is Jiujiu going to start the tasting session!]

[+1 This is the main event!]

[Yes, yes, I want to taste it! I’m getting warmed up!]

[Are there still top 100 benefits today?] – A passerby ranked 99th on the fan list asked.

In the live stream screen, there was no face of Jiang Qiuqiu, only her constantly moving delicate hands.

She had a plan in mind. If nothing unexpected happened, today might be her last time cooking on the Federal Live Stream.

The last time.

Her voice lifted slightly, “Making Cheung Fun is quite simple. Since I was late today, to compensate, I will open up more tasting slots.”

Someone asked how many slots “more” meant. Now that she was almost a three-star streamer, the maximum number of tasting slots she could open was a replication of one dish for 1000 people-

“Today, there will be fifty thousand slots. I believe all the fans lurking in the live stream room can grab a spot.”

[??? Did I hear it wrong?]

[No, you didn’t hear it wrong, no, we both heard it wrong together!]

[Fifty thousand???]

This was just an almost three-star streamer; does this mean she has to make fifty plates?

[Will Jiujiu be able to handle it? Actually, there’s no need to open so many slots at once…]

“I have something to tell you, so I’ll give you some small benefits first.”

“Alright, no more talking. Let’s start right away. Today, we won’t open benefits for the top hundred fans; we’ll open benefits for the top thousand.”

When a true chef gets into action, it’s unstoppable.

Only the tools couldn’t keep up with her speed. She, on the other hand, handled it with ease: whipping, spreading, controlling the water temperature, arranging the plates, sauce, and iron plates. Steaming them alternately, she worked alone but moved fluidly. Fresh Cheung Fun came out one after another. The fragrance of rice gradually permeated the air, intensifying the original three-star flavor to ten stars.

Late at night, everyone suddenly felt hungry.

In the night, it was the main stage for the son of the Federal tycoon to pick stars.

Today, he invited a few childhood friends for a gathering.

In the gathering hall, various liquors filled the table, and a group of second-generation rich kids sat around, watching the big screen projection in front of them.

Upon a closer look, it was unexpectedly Jiang Qiuqiu’s gourmet live stream channel.
