Chapter 60: Please Measure the Interstellar People’s Recipes in Grams

Waking up early, still feeling a bit groggy.

Ming Mei had already sent the link to the post. Jiang Qiuqiu took a glance and saw that Ming Mei had applied for editorial privileges in this group, and now the post was pinned at the top.

The livestream hadn’t started yet, but the post was already lively.

[Wow, what’s going on today? Are we uploading videos of ourselves cooking? I’m not doing that. Too embarrassing.]

[…It’s impossible to learn everything in one go, right?]

[Maybe I’ll give it a try, it can entertain the public.]

The comments were filled with people lacking confidence in their own skills.

Jiang Qiuqiu looked at the lively fans, feeling relieved. After getting up, she prepared the livestream equipment, tidied up the kitchen, and when she turned on the livestream device, it was almost eight o’clock.

She opened the livestream room in advance, waiting for everyone to join.

Enthusiastic learners streamed in.

[Wow, it’s the first time I’ve seen Qiuqiu in the morning!]

[Are you not tired of getting up so early?]

[Huff huff huff, there’s something to eat so early, happiness o(*￣▽￣*)o]

“Good morning, everyone.”

“It’s eight o’clock, and we’re officially live! The livestream theme was already mentioned yesterday, so let’s get straight to the point! First is the selection of ingredients—”

“I bought new rice directly from Freshness Taotao Site. This is the main ingredient for rice.”

“This is also rice flour purchased from Freshness Taotao Site. I call it flour, which is the main ingredient for steamed buns.”

Someone asked what steamed buns were, and Jiang Qiuqiu paused, explaining vividly, “It’s just something delicious.”

“It’s simple, everyone can learn. Steamed buns can also be paired with other dishes in the future.”

[Learning one is difficult enough, learning two is even harder.]

“It’s not difficult, both are very simple, you’ll see when I do it.”

“First, we rinse the rice. The rice bought from Freshness Taotao Site is very clean, just rinse it with water, then pour the moist rice into the pot. There’s no special requirement for the pot, something like this will do.”

There was no specific mention of an electric rice cooker, so Jiang Qiuqiu just grabbed a small round metal pot, which she found convenient.

“After pouring in the rice, add water directly. After the water level is just above the rice, cover the pot and start cooking.”

There’s nothing simpler than cooking rice. After Jiang Qiuqiu finished preparing, she looked up, expecting to see many “I got it” or “I understand” in the barrage, but instead, she saw—

[There’s no special requirement for the pot? Can circular or square ones both be used?]

[What’s the ratio of rice to water? Qiuqiu, come back quickly, this isn’t the recipe I wanted! You should mention the ratio of rice to water! Waaah!]

[Can you be precise to the gram? I want to hear the weight in grams!]

Jiang Qiuqiu: …

It seems like the first teaching attempt was a failure.

Teaching by telepathy won’t work, Jiang Qiuqiu thought for a moment and decided to switch to a scientific and effective method.

“Let me explain again. Everyone knows how to rinse rice. After rinsing, we put the moist rice into the pot, then add water to the pot in a 1:1 ratio with the rice, cover the pot, and then turn on the stove to high heat.”

The stove had a strong heat output. Jiang Qiuqiu used metal utensils, and within a few minutes, the small metal pot began to bubble and boil.

While waiting, Jiang Qiuqiu lifted the lid to take a look. The water was slowly steaming, and the rice was still slightly moist. “At this point, switch to low heat, and in about ten minutes, the rice will be done.”

Isn’t this process very simple? Analyzing the data, it seems that there aren’t many steps, and not many ingredients are added.

Some people regained confidence and typed in the barrage, [Maybe I can do this.]

Confidence is a good thing, so Jiang Qiuqiu encouraged with a smile, “I believe everyone can do it.”

“While the rice is steaming, let’s make some steamed buns.”
