Her Food Livestream Broke the Galaxy-Chapter 60: Please Make Interstellar People’s Recipes Precise to the Gram

I woke up early with a bit of a headache.

Meimei had already sent her the link to the post. Jiang Qiuqiu took a peek. Meimei had used her editor privileges to become a moderator for this community circle, and the post had now been pinned to the top.

The stream hadn’t started yet, but the post was already buzzing with activity.

#Whoa, what’s going on today? Are we supposed to upload pictures of ourselves cooking? No way. That’s too embarrassing.#

#...There’s no way we can learn it all in one go, right?#

#Maybe I’ll post something. Could be entertaining for the masses.#

The comments section was filled with people who weren’t confident in their skills.

Seeing her lively fans, the gloom in Jiang Qiuqiu’s heart finally dissipated. She got out of bed, prepped her streaming equipment, tidied the kitchen, and by the time she turned everything on, it was almost eight o’clock.

She started the stream a little early to let everyone file in.

Eager learners poured in one after another.

#Whoa, this is the first time I’m seeing Juju in the morning!#

#Aren’t you tired, waking up so early?!#

#Hehe, getting to eat something this early in the morning is pure bliss o(*￣▽￣*)o#

"Good morning, everyone."

"It’s eight o’clock, so let’s officially begin! We already announced the stream topic yesterday, so let’s get right to it! First, choosing your ingredients—"

"I bought this new-product rice directly from Taotao Fresh. This is the ingredient for our staple dish, Rice."

"This is rice flour, also from Taotao Fresh. I’m going to call it ’flour,’ and it’s the ingredient for our other staple, steamed buns."

Someone asked what a steamed bun was. Jiang Qiuqiu paused, then gave a vivid explanation: "It’s something delicious." 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Anyway, it’s simple, so you all can learn to make them. You can pair the buns with other delicious foods later on."

#Learning one is hard enough, learning two is even more difficult.#

"Not at all. They’re both very simple. You’ll see once you watch me."

"First, we’ll wash the rice. The rice from Taotao Fresh is very clean, so you just need to rinse it once with water. Pour the damp rice into the pot. There are no special requirements for the pot; anything like this will do."

There were no dedicated rice cookers here, so Jiang Qiuqiu just grabbed a small, round metal pot to make do. She found it quite convenient anyway.

"After pouring the rice in, add water directly. Once the water just covers the rice, we’ll put the lid on and turn on the heat to cook."

Nothing was simpler than making Rice. After finishing the prep work, Jiang Qiuqiu looked up, expecting to see a flood of comments like ’I got it!’ or ’I understand!’ Instead, when she glanced over, all she saw was—

#Are there really no special requirements for the pot? Round or square, either is okay?#

#What’s the ratio of rice to water? Juju, come back, this isn’t the recipe I wanted! You’re supposed to tell us the rice-to-water ratio, WAHHH!!#

#Can you be precise down to the gram? I need to hear the weight in grams!#

Jiang Qiuqiu: ...

’Looks like the first teaching attempt was a failure.’

’People can’t learn just by watching me eyeball it.’ Jiang Qiuqiu thought for a moment and decided to switch to a more scientific and effective method.

"Okay, let me explain it again. Everyone knows how to wash rice. After washing it, put the wet rice in the pot. Then, add clean water to the pot at a 1:1 ratio. Put the lid on, and start with the stove on high heat."

The stove’s flame was powerful, and since Jiang Qiuqiu was using metal cookware, the small metal pot started gurgling and bubbling within minutes.

Jiang Qiuqiu took the opportunity to lift the lid and peek inside. The water was slowly evaporating, and the Rice was still slightly damp. "At about this stage, turn the heat down to low. After about ten minutes, the Rice will be ready."

’Isn’t this process really simple?’

With the measurements laid out, the steps seemed manageable and the ingredients were simple.

Some people were feeling confident again, typing "Maybe I can do it" in the comments.

Confidence was a good thing, so Jiang Qiuqiu smiled and offered a word of encouragement. "I’m sure all of you can do it."

"While the Rice is steaming, let’s make the buns."
