Chapter 87: Are You Guys in a Hurry?

 

A slightly bigger problem is that tomorrow Jiang Qiuqiu has to make over 30 portions of braised pork.

 

Can she handle it?

 

Ming Mei is worried about this, but Jiang Qiuqiu maintains good confidence in her professional skills.

 

“I have no problem handling this.”

 

“In that case, I’ll hang up. I have to go to work.”

 

“Okay, Ming Mei. Take care.” After ending the call, Jiang Qiuqiu lay down for a while at home, then went out for a walk. She debated whether to visit Mo Chengyu’s house, but ultimately decided against it.

 

Freshness TaoTao site also delivered the gugu meat and pork belly that would be needed.

 

It’s been a while since she had braised pork rice. Before starting the livestream, Jiang Qiuqiu decided to treat herself to a hearty meal! Satisfied after finishing lunch, she began to think about what to prepare for dinner.

 

Hmm, making fried meatballs is too complicated, and making minced meat requires a lot of effort.

 

After some consideration, she decided to use the gugu meat to make pork cutlets.

 

Soon, the sound of orderly chopping echoed in the traditional Chinese courtyard, as the aroma of oil and meat filled the air at high temperatures.

 

When the fried pork cutlets were ready tonight, within seconds, hundreds of thousands of portions were sold out like a waterfall.

 

The young people were happily scrambling for pork cutlets, looking forward to tomorrow’s braised pork, unaware that they had already caught someone’s attention!

The next day, 7:00 PM.

 

Yang Shan and his cousin Qiu Ping were about to wait in front of the livestream room for the livestream to start. Suddenly, Grandpa Yang urgently called them back home.

 

On the way, they bumped into each other.

 

Yang Shan: “What happened? Why did Grandpa call you too?”

 

“I don’t know. Grandpa just said he was in a hurry.”

 

“It couldn’t be something bad happening, right?” Yang Shan said, then quickly pulled Qiu Ping and hurried into Grandpa’s house.

 

There were many people in Grandpa’s house, his parents, grandma, as well as his aunt and uncle. Something big must have happened to gather the whole family.

 

In a hurry, he asked, “What’s going on?”

 

But Grandpa Yang said, “Nothing’s wrong. It’s peaceful times, what could go wrong? I just called you all here to chat with me.”

 

Then, the urgent mode turned into leisurely chat mode.

 

The adults were sitting with crossed legs, smiling, talking about scattered trivial matters of life. Occasionally, they would cue in Yang Shan and Qiu Ping, but after the two young men realized that there was nothing important going on at home, their minds started to wander.

 

They just wanted to go back!

 

It wasn’t even 8:00 yet, they could take the express back home and still catch the start of the livestream, maybe even snag some groceries!

 

Braised pork, huh? Braising, a cooking method they hadn’t tried before.

 

It must be delicious.

 

So Yang Shan whispered, “Grandpa, if there’s nothing urgent, can Qiu Ping and I go back? We… we have classes tomorrow.”

 

If it were any other day, Grandpa Yang would immediately say, “Good grandsons, hurry up and go, there’s nothing here.”

 

But today, he narrowed his eyes and exclaimed, “It’s not even 8:00 yet. You’re in a hurry for class? Your uncle will drive you to school later.”

 

“…”

 

Alright, they had to stay.

 

But they really didn’t discuss anything important, just kept chatting.

 

Qiu Ping and Yang Shan began whispering to each other, talking about Jiang Qiuqiu’s livestream. Eating was like this, initially just anticipation, but now the more they talked, the hungrier they got. They watched the time pass 8:00, feeling anxious.

 

On one hand, they wondered if tonight’s dishes would be restocked, but on the other hand, they argued: even if they were, they might not be able to grab any.

 

Just then, Grandpa’s voice suddenly raised.

 

“You two seem very anxious, huh?”

 

Yang Shan and Qiu Ping looked up, and Grandpa Yang, somehow, was already standing in front of them.

 

The atmosphere was a bit strange. “Grandpa, we’re not… we’re just discussing school stuff.”

 

“Oh, school stuff.” He nodded slightly, as if he believed them, then suddenly took out a small remote control and turned on the robot in the house. The robot was connected to the livestream room that Grandpa Yang had pre-associated.

 

In an instant, the very familiar livestream interface appeared in the house.

 

Following that was Jiang Qiuqiu’s signature introduction: “Welcome to my food livestream room. I’m Jiang Jiujiu. Today’s menu: braised pork with rice. Don’t miss out, everyone passing by.”

 

“Judging by your looks, this girl must cook really delicious food.” They were about to fly home with rocket boosters strapped to their backs.

 

“When encountering delicious food, not sharing with family members, and treating family members as…”

 

After Grandpa Yang went to the old friends circle, he looked at that post about the 100 million follower plan, where they were collectively referred to as—”treating us as tools?”

 

The most frightening thing is when the air suddenly turns quiet. Yang Shan and Qiu Ping suddenly understood what was happening today. They thought it was a tea party! Little did they know it was actually a trap!

 

Looking around, everyone was smiling at them.

 

!

 

They’re doomed!
