I'm cooking in the interstellar

Chapter 30 Memories of a Foodie

How can a poor foodie find happiness in the interstellar world?

Pepe will tell you without hesitation: watch the live broadcast!

Born in a poor family on the third-class star of the Empire, Pepe had no contact with natural ingredients when she was a child. She was extremely sensitive and resistant to the taste of nutrient solutions. She was an "anorexia" child that caused headaches for her parents and teachers since she was a child. She also I once thought that I might not live past the age of 20 due to systemic organ failure, as the doctor said.

When she was 12 years old, her cousin Onika, who was studying in the imperial capital, heard about a recipe for stimulating appetite from her roommate, so she spent a lot of money to send her a small jar of dried plums. This pickled natural ingredient was priced at Not only is it several times more expensive than raw plums, but it can only be purchased at the most expensive snack shop in the imperial capital, with a daily purchase limit.

At that time, Pepe already needed nutritional injections once a week to maintain a normal life, and his height and weight were not even as high as those of his 10-year-old cousin Sunny.After receiving the dried plums from her cousin, she was first surprised by the exquisite packaging, and then was dissuaded by the price on the label on the bottle, and she did not dare to open it at all.

Peipei's mother was touched by her daughter's sensibleness, and she held the thin and frail girl into her arms. She ruthlessly opened the glass bottle that reflected the colorful light, poured out a dried plum, and stuffed it into her daughter's mouth.

If the tone of life in the previous 12 years was bleak because he had not had enough to eat, then it is no exaggeration to say that when he tasted dried plums for the first time, Pepe's whole world was lit up.

Unlike nutrient solutions that are either bland or irritating, the sweet and sour taste reaches her taste buds so realistically that it constantly stimulates her saliva secretion. The action of sucking the prunes seems to be on a slow playback button, every time. Every bite is a new experience.She can even chew and nibble on that small piece of preserved fruit to get different textures.

When she came to her senses, she had already eaten three prunes in a row, and her lips and teeth were still filled with a sweet and sour aftertaste.

"Mom, I want to try drinking a bottle of original nutritional solution." Pepe heard herself saying.

Taking advantage of the taste of prunes in her mouth, she drank half the tube of children's nutritional liquid that her mother held with trembling hands. After swallowing it, she slurped it for a long time. She felt that she still felt hungry in her belly, so she simply drank the remaining half. Guan also drank it all in two or three sips.

Before she could take credit with her mother and ask her to praise herself for eating obediently, she was hugged so hard that it even hurt.Her mother's whimpering sounded in her ears, which silenced her who subconsciously wanted to struggle.

Compared to herself who wants to cheer, her mother may need to vent more at this moment.

The solution to anorexia has been found, but in a family like theirs, even if their parents sell everything they can, they can't afford to feed her with dried fruits every meal.Replace it with discounted and cheap natural ingredients. If you eat it raw, the taste will be difficult for other members of the family to swallow, let alone her who has a sensitive taste. When it comes to cooking, the skills of professional chefs are kept secret, and most people in the interstellar world cannot. It's a fool's errand, and the cost of overturning is too high.

Just when the whole family was ignited by the new hope, but had to give up due to financial problems, Star Network Live launched a new function in public beta-sensory sharing, which is only open to members.

Peipei read the first round of user reviews. Other areas had mixed reviews, but the food area was praised to the heavens.In order to build momentum, the live broadcast operators specially invited some hotel chefs to promote signature dishes. Although the production process was not broadcast, the specially set up "dish tasting" session was already worth the membership fee!

"It's delicious in color and fragrance!"

"Smells! It really smells good!"

"The degree of taste restoration after entering the mouth needs to be improved, but it is like six or seven, and it is delicious!" "With taste sharing turned on, I can drink two tubes of nutrient solution in one go!"

After hesitating for a long time, she finally took out the pocket money she had saved for several years and became a member of Star Network Live Broadcast for half a year...

Nowadays, 21-year-old Pepe is studying in college on the first-level planet closest to the Imperial Star. He often interacts with his cousin Onika who lives in the Imperial City. The two girls who love food often learn from some anchors in the live broadcast room and use An opportunity for family gatherings and dinners with friends to share cooking with family and friends.

Especially Peipei, who is introverted by nature, with the encouragement of her cousin, she opened an account to copy the recipes of food anchors and discuss the feasibility of ordinary people imitating them. She will also launch civilian versions of delicious dishes to give more and former Provide poor people like myself with the opportunity to eat natural food.

Over the years, she has also accumulated some popularity, with tens of millions of fans.Each month, she votes for the anchor that fans are most interested in and chooses to recreate her signature dishes, which has become a reserved item on her homepage.

Today, Peipei was a little confused by the messages that appeared in her comment area and private message area. Did some internet celebrity anchor pay for a troll to brush up her data?
After reading a few articles carefully, her teasing thoughts were completely abandoned, the smile in her eyes turned serious, and she read more carefully.Fans came in droves, almost all to give her a new anchor?And judging from the IDs, many of them are her fans, so the credibility is extremely high.

To be cautious, she checked this month's voting results again. Since it had just been less than two weeks, there was no obvious gap, but...the anchor named "Sunny" ranked third, if she remembered correctly , didn’t it just air for two days? !
Enter Qingtian's homepage, a simple and clean new account, nothing fancy, just the cuts of the four live broadcasts in the past two days, and a newly opened event page. From the interface description, it should be for fans to share imitation dishes, but at present No one has uploaded it yet, so it’s a bit empty.

After comparison, Pepe finally clicked on Qingtian's latest video, which was also the one with the highest number of views and topics, and immersed him in the creation of a bowl of pasta.

"Noodles? What's that?"

"Wow, kneading the dough is a bit troublesome, but it's still fun to see the finished product."

"This bowl of noodles not only looks good, but also tastes delicious..."

"Lard? I must have missed something QAQ"

She sighed one way or another while reading, and unknowingly finished reading the theme cut of "Simple Oily Noodles".Then, curious about the lard residue, she quickly scanned the previous issue, and even activated the note-taking function on the optical brain, planning to read it twice to deepen the details and important steps.

Just when Peipei clicked the follow button and was about to carefully study the anchor's lard-themed dishes and decide which one could be called her signature dish, a prompt pop-up window from the Star Network live broadcast popped up:
"The anchor 'Sunny' you are following has started broadcasting. The theme of this live broadcast is 'Secret Chili Sauce'. Come and watch!"

With an inquiring mind, Pepe entered the live broadcast room.

And this evening, there were countless people like her across the Star Network who witnessed the birth of the miracle.
