Chapter 64: Perhaps She Herself Didn’t Know Her Abilities

The team making Chinese steamed buns (mantou) was quite peculiar.

Either they added too much yeast to the dough, making it soft and flat, or they started with too much water, then added too much flour, then too much water again, and eventually ended up with a huge round dough.

Since the person in charge was too lazy to divide this huge dough into smaller portions, they just put the massive bun dough into a specially made steamer.

The dough was indeed huge. After steaming, it expanded a bit, but not completely, resulting in a texture that was awkwardly soft on the outside and hard on the inside.

[Jiujiu’s flipping hand has stopped. She’s so disappointed.]

[I also want to try, but my skills don’t allow it, failure.]

[I don’t understand why I failed even though I followed the steps.]

Jiang Qiuqiu sighed helplessly. “I don’t know why this happened either. When you guys try it, follow the small portion method, do a little bit at a time, and when you succeed, then try larger portions. Let’s see what comes next.”

She scrolled a bit, then suddenly exclaimed, “Wait a moment, let’s look at the rice made by user 28.”

Jiang Qiuqiu opened his picture. The equipment used for photography was particularly high-end, capturing the rice grains clearly. “Full grains, moderate moisture content, it looks like a very successful serving of rice.”

“The certified information is male. He’s a very talented guy in cooking.”

This user also conveniently uploaded a video of making the bun, which looked quite fluffy and had good elasticity when pressed. The bun was white and smooth. “He did a good job with the buns too!”

She praised the user in the livestream room for a while, and soon, a comment from a v15 account appeared in the barrage.

¹Black Hole v15: [I strictly followed the temperature, dosage, and time in the tutorial to make two finished products.]

Looks like this is the original?

Jiang Qiuqiu nodded. “Yes, sometimes when you’re just starting to cook, you need to have this kind of spirit. As we gradually become familiar with it…”

Change the dosage, feel it in your hands, and try new dishes.

Black Hole v15: [Even so, the food made by me and the food made by you are still different.]

Black Hole v15: [It lacks the feeling of excitement.]

Lacks the feeling of excitement? But even though it’s made like this, it doesn’t look like it would taste bad. It’s different from her taste…

“Everyone’s cooking tastes different. Even with the same recipe, different people will have different feelings.” Jiang Qiuqiu encouraged the Black Hole. “You can try more, practice more, and you will surely make food that satisfies you.”

Mo Sī didn’t reply anymore.

What he pursued wasn’t the taste, but the feeling.

The feeling of exhaustion dissipating and the spirit revitalizing after eating.

In the dishes he made, there was completely no trace of that feeling. So, this ability, was it unique to this streamer?

Perhaps, she herself didn’t know her abilities.

Things became a bit complicated, and Mo Sī decided to continue to pay attention to her.

After a while, there would be better ways to handle it.

After reviewing the Black Hole’s post, the following videos or pictures were more or less the same, each with its own strangeness. Jiang Qiuqiu “tearfully” evaluated dozens of them before giving in.

“Well, since everyone’s exploration of  rice and buns is still in the early stages, for the next meat dish special, I’ll prepare some staple foods for everyone, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian.”

[Awesome!!!]

[Even the clumsiest finally achieved victory. I really don’t want to cook myself, wuwuwu, I can’t do it, triple combo, I just want to lie down and eat!]

[Agree +1, I really don’t want to poison myself.]

Everyone laughed in the barrage, and Jiang Qiuqiu reluctantly ended the livestream at eleven o’clock.

After waking up tomorrow, it would be a new round of culinary specialties!

At that time, Jiang Qiuqiu would appear to the homepage and compete with the top streamers in the food section as well as various streamers in the homepage section.

Who will emerge victorious.
