Welcome to the live stream of Wishing You Prosperity 5

The camera happened to be focused on Wen Jiu, capturing her as she chopped what appeared to be some kind of wild herb on a cutting board.

As she chopped, she explained, "What I am making now is scrambled eggs with Toona sinensis buds. First, we chop the buds, then whisk them into two eggs."

Comments flashed across the screen; the popularity of Wen Jiu's stream had risen to 200, meaning at least a hundred people were watching.

[Dingdang20: So that’s what a Toona bud is! We have a tree like that at home, and it always has a strange, fragrant scent every spring.]

Seeing this, Wen Jiu spoke again: "Only the ones harvested like this are called Toona buds. The tree at your home is likely a Chinese toon tree."

"Chinese toon trees prefer sunlight and warmth, are relatively moisture-tolerant, and usually grow in fertile, damp soil near rivers or around residential courtyards."

"The bark is rough, dark brown, and sheds in flakes."

"Furthermore, Chinese toon contains calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and sodium. It has benefits such as tonifying the kidneys, nourishing hair growth, reducing inflammation, stopping bleeding, relieving pain, and promoting digestive health."

The audience listened with curiosity, feeling that while watching a cooking stream, they were also learning quite a bit.

[Dingdang20: Sister Fortune knows so much! Do you work part-time as a teacher at the academy?]

[PumpkinBigMelon: I feel like Sister Fortune explains things better than our academy teachers. I wonder which academy she’s from.]

[ChrisWantsFiveBowls: Sister Fortune is actually a teacher?]

Things had been normal before, with everyone simply addressing Wen Jiu as "Streamer." But after someone started calling her "Sister Fortune," everyone else followed suit. Wen Jiu couldn't be bothered to correct them, thinking they could call her whatever they wanted.

Next, she mixed the chopped buds with the egg liquid, her chopsticks spinning rapidly in the bowl, creating a rhythmic clattering sound.

[OneTwoThreeFourFive: Aren't eggs usually just boiled? Is the streamer doing this randomly just to boost her ratings?]

The user "GoUpTheMountainToHitATiger," who had previously been blocked, entered the stream with a burner account, unable to resist stirring up trouble. However, Wen Jiu paid him no mind this time; before she could even speak, the long-time viewers were already firing back.

[ChrisWantsFiveBowls: If you're so good at it, why don't you start your own cooking stream?]

[BrotherMonkey: Hilarious. Didn't you see how fragrant the food Sister Fortune made earlier? Even though we couldn't taste it, the presentation alone proves her skills are top-notch.]

In truth, BrotherMonkey hadn't intended to defend Wen Jiu. He simply felt that since he, a food critic, hadn't commented yet, it wasn't the place for a random, low-level burner account to criticize.

Wen Jiu then showcased her skillful wok-tossing technique, and the aroma of eggs filled the air.

"Sister, what is the chef inside making? It smells so good."

A student waiting outside the window for food suddenly caught the scent and leaned in, peering curiously inside.

Qiao Shishi didn't bother correcting the senior for calling her "Sister," but instead smiled and greeted him: "It's a limited-edition dish, thirty star coins per serving."

Upon hearing this, the student immediately transferred thirty star coins to the payment account of Window 18.

And so, the plate of scrambled eggs with Toona buds Wen Jiu had just finished went to him. To avoid any misunderstandings, Wen Jiu specifically instructed Qiao Shishi: "We have a special event at Window 18 today. Every lucky student chosen can purchase a special dish for thirty star coins!"

As soon as Qiao Shishi finished speaking, the students queuing behind became restless, all hoping to be that lucky student. Unfortunately, there weren't many Toona buds, and after six or seven plates, they were all used up.

The students who got to eat the special dish raved about it, while those who missed out drooled just from the smell. The viewers in the stream, who could only watch and smell through the screen, felt exactly the same.

Wen Jiu's business hours were even shorter than yesterday because the number of students coming to Window 18 had increased. However, the dishwashing time for her and Qiao Shishi grew longer as there were more dishes to clean.

Wen Jiu had already ended the stream. Since the revenue report would only be sent the next day, she didn't give it another thought after logging off the Star Network.

However, a small storm was brewing on the Bika Live food section forum.

[I have finally discovered a treasure streamer in the food section!]

Because the poster had a high account level, many people clicked to browse the thread. The poster had written a thousand-word post describing the scene in Wen Jiu's stream, using flowery language to heap praise on the taste of the food she had made.

He wrote about the fragrant, milky broth, the mouth-watering aroma, and the golden scrambled eggs that were tender yet crispy. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought he had actually tasted it.

Many asked which streamer it was, though there were naturally skeptics as well.

BrotherMonkey, who was browsing the forum after the stream, gave a knowing smile at the poster's account. After a moment of thought, he reposted the thread with a simple two-word comment: "Verified."

Chris, who had been trying to argue with the skeptics, burst into laughter upon seeing BrotherMonkey's repost. Great minds think alike, he figured.

Although Chris had a high-level account, it was still a standard one. Many people who saw the post weren't interested when they saw the streamer was only Level 1, and many accused him of being a paid shill.

However, those people quieted down once BrotherMonkey reposted it, as he was a well-known food critic who had been invited to Bika Live's annual meetings and had written articles for numerous food e-magazines. Most people interested in food naturally knew who BrotherMonkey was.

Consequently, they followed their curiosity and clicked on the account named "Congratulations on Getting Rich" to check the replay for the truth. Unfortunately, Wen Jiu had no idea how to set up automatic stream archiving, so they saw nothing.

But thanks to this momentum, Chris's post floated on the front page of the food forum for a while, successfully bumping Wen Jiu's follower count from a mere few to about a hundred.

The person in question, however, remained completely oblivious.

After Wen Jiu and Qiao Shishi finished washing the dishes and returned to their dorm, they were exhausted. Qiao Shishi finally gave up on the "little princess" image she had been trying to maintain, collapsing onto her bed and saying, "My limbs are so sore and painful. What am I going to do about the combat class this afternoon?"

Her words made Wen Jiu think—what kind of soreness and fatigue couldn't be solved by a massage?

Wen Jiu rolled over, climbed from her bed to Qiao Shishi's, and said with a smile, "Hey there, beautiful, would you like to experience an ancient Chinese technique for relaxing the muscles and joints?"
