NOVEL WEB chapter 187 - All Menus Decided by Him
The next day, possibly the first day of launching a counterattack, Ming Mei, as Jiang Qiuqiu’s editor, sent her a message to greet her.
“Don’t be nervous-”
“I’m not nervous.”
“Well, although he is a large-scale streamer, his fan base is quite complex. He isn’t solely a food blogger, and even though your number of fans may not surpass his-”
But fan loyalty surpasses imagination.
“Sister Ming Mei, don’t worry. It’s just a culinary clash; we’re not entering a cooking battle. Have confidence in me.”
“Alright, I have confidence in you.” Ming Mei sighed, “I’m not as calm as you and Little Qian, both of you are very composed.”
“Haha, I have confidence in my cooking, and Little Qian has confidence in his mouth. Sister Ming Mei, just relax; we won’t lose.”
Her confidence infected Ming Mei, but-
“Did something happen yesterday? You seem a bit happy.”
“Nothing happened, just achieved a small ¹milestone.”
“What small milestone?”
“Uh… it’s a secret!”
It’s hard to say whether it’s the sense of accomplishment or just the joy from a few words, so I won’t say anything.
Seeing that Jiang Qiuqiu didn’t want to talk about it, Ming Mei stopped asking and instead inquired about tonight’s menu, “What are you planning to cook tonight?”
“My menu has already been chosen by our top streamer.”
“Are you going to make pumpkin?”
“That’s right.”
Not only for this menu, but also for the next and the one after that, Wang Henry has already chosen for her.

Chapter 187: All menus are decided by him
The next day, which might be the first day to sound the horn of counterattack, Ming Mei, as Jiang Qiuqiu’s editor, sent a message to greet her.
“Don’t be nervous—”
“I’m not nervous.”
“Alright, even though he is a major streamer, his fan base is quite complex and not entirely composed of food enthusiasts. Although your fan count hasn’t surpassed his—”
However, your fan loyalty is unexpectedly high.
“Ming Mei, don’t worry, it’s no big deal. We’re just having a culinary contest, not a physical fight. You need to have faith in me.”
“Alright, I have faith in you.” Ming Mei sighed, “It seems I’m the one who’s unsettled. Both you and Xiao Qian are very calm.”
“Haha, I have confidence in my cooking skills, and Xiao Qian has confidence in his words. Ming Mei, just relax. We won’t lose.”
Her confidence rubbed off on Ming Mei, but—
“Did something happen yesterday? You seem a bit happy.”
“Nothing much, just reached a small milestone.”
“What small milestone?”
“Uh… it’s a secret!”
It’s hard to say whether it’s the sense of accomplishment or just the joy from a few words, so in the end, she won’t say anything.
Seeing that Jiang Qiuqiu didn’t want to talk about it, Ming Mei stopped asking and instead inquired about tonight’s menu, “What are you planning to cook tonight?”
“My menu has already been chosen by our top streamer.”
“Are you going to make pumpkin?”
“That’s right.”
Not only for this menu but also for the next and the one after that, Wang Henry has already chosen for her.
After all, only by presenting the same dish to everyone can the differences be quickly discerned, right?
That night.
The live stream started on time.
Jiang Qiuqiu adjusted the camera robot and smiled at the audience: “Welcome to my food live stream room. I’m Jiang Jiujiu. Today, we’re going to make a sweet dish.”
[Sweets! Sweets again! Cupcakes?!]
“It’s not cupcakes, it’s pumpkin pancakes.”
Following Jiang Qiuqiu’s gestures, the camera robot captured a close-up of the large pumpkin on the table.
[…This thing? Sweet?]
[I had it once in a restaurant. It was slightly sweet, but making pancakes—]
To be honest, no one had ever eaten pancakes made from this, so there was a lot of discussion.
Jiang Qiuqiu smiled, took out a kitchen knife, and quickly peeled the pumpkin. Soon, the pumpkin’s orange-yellow interior was revealed.
After processing several pumpkins, a faint fruity and vegetable aroma filled the air.
Jiang Qiuqiu picked up the kitchen knife. “Later, we’re going to steam the pumpkin into pumpkin puree. Since my kitchen steamer is quite large, I don’t need to cut the pumpkin into very small pieces.”
“If any fans are making this dish at home, you can cut the pumpkin into smaller pieces to make it cook faster.”
[Jiujiu is overthinking it. Who’s going to make this at home?]
[The person above is wrong. It’s not who wants to make it at home, but who can make it at home.]
[The person above is wrong again. Who can’t cook at home? It should be who can make it taste like this.]
[…]
“It seems everyone isn’t very confident in their cooking skills,” Jiang Qiuqiu said as she placed the pumpkin into the steamer.
[How can we be confident with something we’ve never made before?]
[+1]
[+2]
[+10000001]
This statement quickly resonated with everyone. While chatting, Jiang Qiuqiu had already turned on the heat. Before long, the slightly tough pumpkin would turn into sweet, and soft pumpkin puree.
