19 Chapter 19: A Screen Full of Bad Reviews
Today, she served the food on a large plate. First, she filled a small bowl with Rice, then inverted the dome of Rice onto the large plate. Using a ladle, she scooped out a spoonful of braised pork swimming in a rich sauce.
The savory, fragrant sauce saturated the Rice, staining the pristine white grains with an appetizing hue. Finally, she added a sprinkle of chopped green onions. A dish with perfect color, aroma, and flavor-this was it. She repeated the process several more times, and a row of braised pork over rice appeared before everyone.
Jiang Qiuqiu had the taste-testing process down pat now. She finished preparing the dishes, placed them under the scanner, and pressed the confirm button-
Jiang Qiuqiu had made about ten servings today. She had originally planned to select one hundred lucky viewers, but to her surprise, she had been promoted as a streamer. The number of taste-testing slots had skyrocketed, and suddenly there were a thousand spots available.
‘It’s hard to please everyone. There were just so many people watching today. Despite her confidence in her skills, Jiang Qiuqiu was also a little nervous. So, instead of ending the stream right away, she said, “This is my first time making a braised dish. I hope the fans who managed to get a tasting spot can give me some feedback after you’re finished.”
“That way, I can see what interstellar people like and slowly make adjustments.
However, the ones popping up in the chat right now were basically all people who hadn’t managed to get a spot.
#SOB SOB SOB… I was just a fraction of a second too slow!#
#This is torture. The smell was making my mouth water, and I still didn’t get
one.#

#AAAAHHH, I didn’t get to taste it, but I want to hear from the people who did! What’s it like? Is it as good as it smells, or does it only smell good?#
#Terry is a wolf: !!!! I didn’t get one either?!# 1
#Terry is a wolf: I’m losing my mind. How could my reflexes not be fast enough for this?!#
Terry was about to do a 360-degree spin and howl like a wolf in his dorm. His wolf paws, honed by decades of singlehood and weightlifting, had actually failed to snag a spot! 1
Jiang Qiuqiu paused for a moment. ‘Even he didn’t get one?’
‘But making a braised dish isn’t like frying something; it takes a lot more time and energy.’ Jiang Qiuqiu had discovered over the past few days that she needed a long time to rest and recover her energy after a cooking stream.
After chatting for a few moments with the poor souls in the comments, the lucky viewers who had just devoured their portions started chiming in.
#I can’t even describe it in words!! It’s just SOOO delicious!#
#The way the pork just melts in your mouth… This sauce is SO000 good, it’s pure bliss! And the Rice, too! They’re the perfect pair!#
The chat looked like it was full of paid shills; among the flood of reviews, there wasn’t a single bad one.
Jiang Qiuqiu lowered her gaze and smiled. “So, does anyone feel there are any areas for improvement? Please, speak freely.”
#Nope! It’s practically perfect!#
#So delicious! This is high-end stuff, even compared to a Level 1 Star Chef. I can’t believe I’d find this kind of talent tucked away in some corner of the
streaming world. You’re a real hidden gem!# 1
After a long string of over-the-top praise, someone finally posted a criticism, and a whole crowd of people chimed in to agree-

#Who says it has no flaws? I think this dish has a fatal one.#
#???#
#Terry is a wolf: What flaw? You got a spot and you’re this ungrateful? If you don’t like it, then next time-#
Before Terry could finish his thought-that the person should leave the spot for him!-that nonchalant Level 14 big shot spoke up again.
#Streamer, have you considered the feelings of us big-mouthed folks in the Federation? This tiny little scoop of Rice and this single piece of meat are gone in one bite! Bad review! Can’t you just give us half a pot?# 2
#This-#
#I already had my 49-meter-long sword out to get you, but… you’re right. This definitely deserves a bad review!#
#Bad review +1#
#Bad review +10086#
The screen was filled with “bad reviews,” but they were the highest form of praise for Jiang Qiuqiu.
