The live stream’s bullet comments immediately exploded in a frenzy.
Immortal Barbecue: [My... Oh my god! I succeeded! I used my skills to prove that I’m not clumsy. So sparkling water can be drunk like this. It’s so delicious!]
Feiran: [I succeeded too! I’m so touched ^^]
Sky Blue: [Captain, you finally proved yourself! It’s just too ugly! Look at your [Picture]. I need to look at the junior’s to wash my eyes!]
Hot Pot Balls: [...? I never knew you were a true warrior! Thumbs up for you! And a moment of silence for you~]
Gan Lan saw the picture posted by Gao Haiyang and laughed out loud. Boss Yan’s knife skills were indeed a bit lacking. The cucumber was cut into a messy, weed-like shape, making it look quite ugly. Sitting in the cup, it looked like it was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws... Well, forgive her for her limited vocabulary; she simply couldn’t describe it in words.
"Boss Yan’s knife skills might not be the best, but they’ll look better with more practice. Also, congratulations to all of you, you’ve mostly succeeded! From now on, you can make it yourselves whenever you want to drink it. You can also add other fruits and ingredients to make different flavors," Gan Lan comforted and encouraged, afraid that Yan Yifei might shut down.
As soon as she finished speaking, the flowing sand buns were done steaming.
Gan Lan opened the steamer lid, revealing small, cute, plump, and tender flowing sand buns. Unlike the mushroom and meat buns, the flowing sand buns Gan Lan made had smooth surfaces and were half the size.
Replacing them with a new batch to steam, Gan Lan carried a whole steamer basket of cooked flowing sand buns straight to the living room. She used tongs to place them onto a plate one by one. "They are still very hot right now, so be careful when you eat them."
Dry-Steamed Shumaimaimai: [I burned my tongue silly! The filling inside is actually liquid! It’s bright and golden, oh my god, how is it this delicious!? It looks ordinary on the outside, but hides a wonderful secret inside!]
Handsome Mingyu: [I got burned too! I suddenly discovered that if you tear the flowing sand bun in half, peel off the outer skin, and dip it in the flowing sand filling, it’s also incredibly delicious. I’m truly a genius!]
A Kaleidoscope of Starlight: [No wonder they’re called flowing sand buns! It really looks like golden sand flowing out from the inside. It’s so innovative—sweet but not cloying, with a rich milky aroma. Paired with a sip of cucumber lemonade, the sense of happiness is off the charts!]
Gan Lan and Gulu each had a cup of cucumber lemonade and three flowing sand buns, eating so intently that they couldn’t even lift their heads.
Gan Lan was a bit curious. It made sense that she was eating with relish, but why was Gulu eating so absentmindedly? He was just tasting the flavor and didn’t even have a stomach to digest it. How could he...
"Gulu, why are you so entranced just tasting the flavor?" Gan Lan’s curious gaze swept over Gulu’s stomach, trying to discover something.
"I’m eating for spiritual satisfaction! Seeing the people in the bullet comments envying me makes eating even more enjoyable and satisfying!" Gulu said in a smug tone. He deliberately turned his face toward the live stream audience, his expression arrogant.
Gan Lan was speechless. She gave that answer full marks!
Sky Blue: [Gulu, you have successfully enraged me! You better protect yourself well right now, or else when I catch you, you won’t even be able to smell the scent of good food anymore! I’m going to modify you into a true machine with no sense of smell or taste!]
Princess Yan is the cutest: [My dear Gulu, don’t panic! I will protect you. How can your arrogant and smug expression be so handsome~]
Hot Pot Balls: [Oh my! Today is just too hilarious. Goofy Gao, you’re really having a run of bad luck today, running into this mother-and-son duo. Another moment of silence for you~]
Gan Lan finally ate her fill. It was just that her cooking today was too difficult; making a single lunch took her three hours. It was almost time for dinner.
Gan Lan set aside a dozen or so portions and used the rest directly for a lucky draw.
System Notification: [The streamer ’Come and have some barbecue!’ has initiated a lucky draw. Twenty lucky viewers will be selected to receive a complimentary exquisite lunch consisting of two mushroom and meat buns, two flowing sand buns, and a cup of cucumber lemonade. Everyone is welcome to participate!]
Don’t panic: [Ahhhh! How difficult must it be to win one lunch out of over twenty billion people? But this lunch is so hearty, and I really want to eat it! I’m starting to panic T^T]
I am Phoenix: [Bring it on! I’ve changed my name. I hope such an auspicious name will bring me good luck! I’m counting on you, Phoenix!]
Phoenix: [Heh! Did you think you were the only one to come up with this trick? I changed mine too. Let’s see whose Phoenix is stronger!]
Fiery Phoenix: [Heh! My Phoenix is definitely the strongest! Get out of my way, all of you! All twenty portions belong to me!]
Gan Lan looked at the viewers who had used "Phoenix" in their names, feeling a wave of exasperation. Did they really believe that changing their names to Phoenix would help them win the draw? They were so naive and cute that she couldn’t bear to crush their hopes.
"Then let the lucky draw begin~ I’ve already packed the twenty lunches. Good luck to you all!" Gan Lan’s eyes brimmed with laughter as she pointed at the twenty temperature-controlled boxes placed on the table.
System Notification: [Congratulations to Super Like Number Nine, I See You, Phoenix King Returns... and the rest of the twenty lucky viewers for winning a hearty lunch gifted by the streamer!]
Phoenix: [Why, oh why? My Phoenix is clearly very strong too, so why did that other Phoenix win! Is it because I didn’t add the word ’King’!? Wuwuwu...]
I am Phoenix: [Changing it to Phoenix is actually quite effective. Didn’t you see a Phoenix win? So next time, my Phoenix still has hope!]
Immortal Phoenix: [I changed it to this, so why didn’t I win? Isn’t an Immortal stronger than a King? Stupid system! My mushroom and meat buns, flowing sand buns, and cucumber lemonade, I guess we aren’t fated to be together. Forget it, I’ll go slurp down a bowl of luosifen to soothe my wounded soul~]
System Notification: [Immortal Phoenix has insulted the system. You are muted for one hour as punishment!]
The Viewers: [...] So pitiful, but what should we do if we really want to laugh?
Seeing that a viewer had been muted, and the bullet comments suddenly erupting into endless strings of "Hahahaha," Gan Lan also chuckled softly. This system was quite full of personality.
Looking at the tone of ’Immortal Phoenix’ and the word ’Immortal’ in the name, it was definitely ’Immortal Barbecue’, Senior Lin. She stared at his name sympathetically. "It’s only an hour, Senior, don’t worry. Anyway, my live stream is ending for today. I have a competition tomorrow, so I won’t be streaming. I’ll be back after the competition is over."
Feiran: [Good luck with the competition! You’re the best ^^]
The green of the Qingtuan is really beautiful: [Good luck with the competition! I bought a ticket for this match, so I’ll go to the venue tomorrow to cheer you on. You can do it!]
Binbin: [Senior Lin is eating luosifen with me. He said: he isn’t comforted in the slightest, and he wanted to personally use his account to wish you good luck in the competition! Junior! Good luck with the competition!]
For a moment, the words "Good luck with the competition" dominated the entire screen.
"I’ll do my best and go all out! I won’t embarrass you!" Gan Lan promised the viewers in the live stream with a gentle smile.
Then, she waved her hand. "I’m going to rest now. Goodnight, everyone!"
After Gan Lan logged off the live stream, she had the robotic assistant mail the packaged food to the winning viewers, her friends, teachers, and Mrs. Yan. Then, she went to sleep.
