When the communication ended, it was already afternoon.

Today was a live stream day, and there was a live stream scheduled for 8:00 in the evening. Jiang Qiuqiu lay on the chair, pondering what to do today.

There were many dishes in the temperature-controlled cabinet, and there were also many types of dishes to make.

Radish shredded pancakes?

Potato mash with various flavors?

Sometimes, making a choice could be difficult. Jiang Qiuqiu looked at these things somewhat distressed.

Then, the open window suddenly made a rustling sound, and the cool autumn wind blew onto her face.

It was already autumn.

Jiang Qiuqiu thought: she suddenly missed the dumplings her grandmother used to make when she was a child.

Why not make dumplings today!

At seven fifty-five in the evening.

Jiang Qiuqiu opened her live stream room five minutes early.

Last time on live stream day, after ending the Gugu Beast special live stream, everyone was curious if she would open another special live stream, so they all waited in the live stream room early.

Seeing that the live stream started early today, everyone was delighted.

[Ah! I got front row seats, hot front row seats!]

[I came early today. Will my luck in the live stream room improve?]

[Wow, what’s on the menu today? Did the live stream start early? Why didn’t Jiujiu say that line this time? It feels strange.]

Jiang Qiuqiu finally reacted, “Right, I forgot to mention earlier, welcome to my food live stream, everyone. I’m Jiang Jiujiu, and today’s menu is ¹dumplings.”

As everyone knows, there are no subtitles in live streams.

Listening to Jiang Qiuqiu’s clear and distinct voice, what flashed through everyone’s minds was:

[Foot?]

[Is it like the gugu beast we made last time? Whose foot is it this time?]

[If I hadn’t tried the gugu beast last time, I’d definitely think this was some dark cuisine! But now I’m so looking forward to it! Whose foot is it!]

Everyone was seriously discussing, describing it vividly. Jiang Qiuqiu watched, holding back her laughter.

Finally, at eight o’clock, she cleared her throat and aimed the filming robot at a pile of ingredients on the table. “No, today’s ‘dumplings’ aren’t anyone’s feet. It’s a delicious type of pastry.”

“It’s made by kneading small pieces of dough into wrappers, filled with various fillings, and cooked by steaming, boiling, or frying.”

“It’s autumn now, having a bowl of hot dumplings with some soup is one of life’s great pleasures.”

[It turns out it’s not feet!]

[Pastry! I love pastry! Looking forward to it!]

[Start quickly! I can’t wait! I’m so hungry. I’ll wait until I smell the aroma of Jiujiu’s cooking before I eat!]

[Are you waiting to mix nutrient solution?]

[How did you know…]

Viewers began chatting, and Jiang Qiuqiu happily began making dumplings.

“If you’ve watched the live stream before, you must be familiar with the first step I’m about to take—”

“That’s right. It’s kneading the dough!”

She took out a basin, poured in some flour, added the right amount of warm water and salt, and then quickly scraped it in the basin with a small scraper.

“When kneading the dough, first cut and mix them into fluffy pieces. When it looks like this, we can start.”

Jiang Qiuqiu extended her slender and delicate hand, “Remember, your hands must be smooth and dry at this point.”

Then came the magical time.

The scattered fluffy small dough pieces in the basin gradually stuck together under Jiang Qiuqiu’s hands, and the unformed things gradually became smooth little balls in her hands.

Although many viewers had seen it many times, some still felt it was magical.

Why did even kneading dough look so enjoyable?

Of course, some viewers didn’t care about this and cared more about—

[???]

[Why is the basin so small today? How many dumplings are you making… Why is the dough so small? A mini version? One plate per person? No!]

This struck a chord with everyone. Yeah, wasn’t every time before with a big basin? Why use such a small one this time!

So, the barrage began to appear crazy!

[Is it because there’s no money to buy a big basin? I can sponsor a big big big basin!]

[Is it because there’s no flour? I can sponsor a big bag of flour!]

[Is it because kneading dough is difficult? I’m poor, but I can sponsor myself, no need for wages, just meals!]

In Chinese, the word “dumplings” (饺子, pronounced jiǎozi) can sound similar to the word “foot” (脚, pronounced jiǎo). The confusion arises because the pronunciation of “jiǎo” (foot) is very close to the first part of “jiǎozi” (dumplings). Therefore, when Jiang Qiuqiu said “饺子” (jiǎozi), some listeners misheard it as “脚子” (foot), leading to the humorous misunderstanding in the conversation.
