12:30 noon.
Xiacheng District, headquarters of Starry Sky Live Streaming Platform.
As the first collaboration between Starry Sky and the Academy of Sciences, although it was lunchtime at this moment, most of the Starry Sky staff, from the CEO to employees from various departments, were watching Gu Yumian's live broadcast.
"Isn't this increase a bit too scary? Lao K and the others haven't seen this much growth since they started broadcasting," said Lao K and Tu Qingqing, two of Xingkong's top streamers. One of them pointed to the upper right corner with lingering fear. "If he broadcasts for three to five hours this time...will it break the record?"
Another team leader with more experience shook his head:
"No."
The guy at the beginning: "Huh? Can't break the record?"
"..." The elder who answered him said calmly, "It won't take three or five hours. It will take two hours. Just wait and see."
That person: “…………” Awesome.
However, this anchor is really amazing.
The project, which was a collaboration with the Academy of Sciences, had been planned for a long time, but it had never been implemented because no one was suitable for it. On the one hand, the Academy's leaders were somewhat arrogant and looked down on many anchors. On the other hand, the content, which was close to popular science education, would be somewhat boring.
If any other anchor, even the top ones, were to come, it would be considered good if they could maintain the usual popularity.
Not only did Gu Yumian maintain his popularity, but his data was also rising. His ranking on the real-time popularity list and the day's popularity list seen in the background quickly jumped up a lot.
On the other side, the kitchen in the upper city.
Gu Yumian remained unfazed by the statistics or the comments, maintaining a steady rhythm. Outside the window, snow had begun to fall again. The milky white cheese in the small pot simmered with a gurgling sound, occasionally forming a translucent bubble. The rich, milky aroma wafted through the air, filling the air with a lingering aroma.
"I was just busy preparing the base for the pot and didn't have time to explain." Gu Yumian was holding the little fox Qiuqiu, with a lazy little snow leopard lying on his shoulder, and a baby stroller with a sleeping little Tangyuan leaning against his waist. In his other hand, he was still holding a spoon and constantly stirring the cheese pot to prevent lumps.
"Cheese hot pot is similar to the sukiyaki I made before. They are both a type of hot pot. Hot pot is to add processed ingredients into a boiling pot and cook them and eat them directly. There are different hot pot bases. Today I used a cheese hot pot base, which is mainly made with cheese and white wine."
[Little Pudding Loves Pudding: Hmm, that sounds simple? Host, can any ingredient be used?]
"It depends on your preference," Gu Yumian said. "Of course, different hot pots are suitable for different foods. Because cheese hot pot needs to be cooked on low heat to prevent the cheese from burning, we usually prepare meat and vegetables first."
Cheese hot pot is suitable for fruits and French bread, but it is also good for hot pot with meat, just not like Chinese hot pot.
Part of the shrimp is directly peeled and deveined and marinated with cooking wine, while the other part is made into shrimp balls. The beef rolls and pork belly are quick-frozen and then sliced into rolls and lightly boiled in hot water. The chicken breast is also boiled in water and then removed to be fried. The potatoes and broccoli are tossed in a hot pot of clear water.
From the moment the cheese pot started boiling, the comments kept on repeating "Hurry up" and "I want to eat", and they didn't show any signs of getting tired for several minutes.
"Alright," Gu Yumian glanced at the comments and couldn't help but smile. "Don't worry, we'll serve it out soon and start eating. Are Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan and Qiu Qiu hungry?"
Afraid that the children would be hungry and unable to wait, Gu Yumian first took a few slices of raw chicken breast and fried them in olive oil until both sides were slightly golden brown. Then he dipped the fried chicken breast slices in the cheese pan to coat both sides with a layer of thick and flowing cheese. After cooling it, he used a spoon to feed it to the little fox and the little snow leopard.
Little Tangyuan had just woken up and was whimpering and reaching out for food, but Gu Yumian was afraid that he wouldn't be able to digest it, so he only gave him a little milk.
After a while.
audience:"!!!!"
The cheese has an extremely mellow texture, and after being boiled with fruit wine, it adds a sweet and refreshing taste. The pan-fried chicken breast, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, is coated with a thick layer of hot cheese, and the raw egg keeps the chicken breast in its most tender and fresh state.
The rich and soft milky flavor of the melted cheese is seamlessly combined with the freshness of the chicken breast. You can taste a bit of the strong brandy and cinnamon. After swallowing it in one mouthful, you will want to savor it. It is so delicious that you can't stop.
Boy B: Ahhhhhhhh! My pupils are vibrating!!! This is so smooth and tender, so delicious!
[Soda Lemon Essence: Delicious, delicious, delicious, delicious! ! I want to say this out loud ten thousand times! ! ! !]
[Youyunduo: Cheese and wine have a rich, mellow taste after boiling, and meat is fragrant and delicious after being seared. Thank you for the delicious food, host. Ten fireworks are sent to you.]
Lilihuabai: My emotions are mixed right now. Cheese fondue is really delicious, but if Mianmian doesn't make it, I'll never get the chance to eat the original flavor again. Woohoo! This might become a regret I'll never forget in my life. QAQ]
This was just a bite of chicken breast, and looking at the pile of ingredients behind it - shrimps, shrimp paste, fish fillets, French bread, carrots and potato cubes... Everyone couldn't help but feel excited when they imagined the combination of these ingredients with cheese hot pot!
The number of online viewers increased by another 10 million in just a few minutes, and it firmly took root in the top three of the real-time popularity list on the homepage, quickly narrowing the gap with the second place. I believe it is only a matter of time before it surpasses the second place.
The little fox, hugging its large tail, curled up in Gu Yumian's arms and chirped twice, shyly expressing its deliciousness. The little glutinous rice ball looked at them innocently, its round eyes looking somewhat pitiful. Gu Yumian leaned over and kissed him on the forehead.
The little snow leopard was extremely displeased watching all this. He pressed one claw on Gu Yumian's palm, and his long tail went around Gu Yumian's ear to attract his attention, silently urging him to start eating.
Gu Yumian's heart melted: "Okay, let's eat now. Wait for me to take the boiler and ingredients out... Oh, I almost forgot to prepare something for everyone in the Academy of Sciences."
As expected of an academy of sciences, the kitchen is highly automated. Gu Yumian had already made the cheese pot himself, so he barely needed to do it again. He only needed to check the key points, and the other robots would take care of it. Within minutes, three more cheese pots were boiling.
Not knowing whether everyone would accept it, Gu Yumian only made three more pots.
Gu Yumian decided to take his and his children's cheese pot out and put it down first, and then ask everyone in the Academy of Sciences if they wanted to eat it.
Carrying the pot and ingredients, he couldn't hold the little fox. The little fox was very sensible and went down to the ground by himself to help push the stroller outside. Gu Yumian had never raised such a well-behaved and sensible cub, and he was immediately moved.
Little Snow Leopard: “…”
The long tail swung unhappily. It seemed too late to show its sensible side now, so it could only lie down depressed.
[There's a home in the mine: If it's sour, the big guys from the Academy of Sciences will have something to eat. Woohoo, I can't help but drool with the lemon flavor.]
[Face Rolling Keyboard Esports Pig: I feel like the science academy bosses all seem aloof. Wouldn't they dislike that? (Though I don't think any creature could resist Mian Mian's delicious food.) Also, I heard they don't even take a lunch break, just eat some fast food and keep working.]
The audience also began to worry. What if the streamer was rejected or ignored by the big guys? After all, they were the most powerful workaholics in the entire StarCraft.
Gu Yumian had already reached the door at this time.
The sensor door swung open to both sides with a beep.
Within one second.
Hundreds of eyes looked over at the same time, their serious, focused and enthusiastic gazes surrounding Gu Yumian.
The small third-floor lounge was packed with people, including scientists Gu Yumian had met during his morning visit, and many others he hadn't met yet.
Gu Yumian and the audience: “……???”
It is winter now, and many heating devices have been added to the lounge and restaurant of the Academy of Sciences. The original tables and chairs have been converted into kotatsu - the floor is also a bit like Japanese tatami, with a few cushions placed on it, and you can sit cross-legged and start eating.
There are potted plants between the tables to separate the privacy space. I have to say that the design is very user-friendly.
Gu Yumian placed the pot, a small stove, and plates of food on the table he had reserved, laid out the mats, and asked the three children to sit down one by one before turning around.
...This group of the most powerful scientific researchers in the entire galaxy are still staring at him eagerly.
Gu Yumian was confused at first, but after a moment, an idea suddenly occurred to him. During lunch time, everyone was sitting here quietly doing nothing. Were they waiting for him to cook?
He finally found a familiar face among them. It was Mr. Li, the leader of the ancient book restoration team. Gu Yumian had shaken hands with him when he visited before. He walked over to Mr. Li and whispered:
"Uncle Li, what are you all waiting for? If you don't mind, I made a few more pots of cheese hot pot. I still have the ingredients. If anyone wants to eat--"
When Old Li heard the voice of "Uncle Li", he felt relieved all over before he could reply.
Everyone within a ten-meter radius had pricked up their ears, carefully listening to Gu Yumian's words. At this moment, various seemingly unintentional coughs and discussions were heard:
"I forgot to bring lunch today." "Yeah, I forgot too! It's so cold, I want to eat something hot." "What are you cooking in the kitchen? It smells delicious..."
Gu Yumian: “…” He couldn’t help laughing for some reason.
"I'll ask the little robot in the kitchen to make a few more pots," Gu Yumian counted the number of people and said, "Can someone help me serve them?"
The room was silent for a moment, and the next second, the voices started again:
"I'll take it." Old Li suddenly became anxious.
The leader of another group pushed him aside and said, "Lao Li, you're not strong enough, I'll do it. Little anchor, can you please leave your contact information? I have a friend who wants to meet you."
"I'm very strong, host, can I shake your hand again?"
“…”
Twenty minutes later.
The entire lounge had become quiet again, with only the crisp sound of bowls and plates colliding, the gurgling sound of the cheese pot bubbling, the sound of food being shuffled, and the sound of everyone talking in low voices while eating.
This brief episode not only did not reduce the heat of the live broadcast room, but made the atmosphere even more lively.
[Hardcore House Dog: Hahahahahaha!!]
[afuhuv: The scientific leaders are all so cute. I thought they were aloof, but isn't this the cat I am after meeting Mianmian? .jpg]
[Puff: I'm going to study hard now, aiming to go to the Academy of Sciences someday!! I'm really jealous of eating the cheese fondue made by Mimi... but! Watching the livestream and being able to eat is also a blessing. What's for dinner next? I want to eat those white pieces.]
From the beginning, the little fox covered his eyes with his little paws, feeling embarrassed by the behavior of his subordinates in front of Gu Yumian.
"Qiuqiu, what are you thinking about?" Gu Yumian scratched its chin, picked up a small piece of shrimp with a fork, rolled it in the cheese pot, and fed it to its mouth, "Open your mouth, ah——"
Gu Yumian tried hard to be a fair parent. After feeding the little fox, he also fed the little snow leopard and the baby panda, who were still a little depressed.
The shrimp and shrimp paste cook easily, cooked through in a hot cheese pan. A light coating of cheese coats the surface, and the chewy, crisp texture of the hand-made shrimp paste is further accentuated by the freshness of the fruit wine cheese, creating a fresh and rich flavor.
After the shrimp paste comes the fresh, tender and smooth snow-white fish fillets. First, add lemon juice and fry them slightly in a baking pan, until the skin is crispy and golden brown, then bake them in a cheese pan. The rich milky aroma wraps the fried fish fillets that melt in your mouth, which is another kind of delicious feeling.
In addition to meat dishes, there are also fruits, vegetables and bread.
"Actually, these are the best things for a cheese pot."
Gu Yumian used a fork to place a slice of whole-wheat bread into the cheese pan. When he lifted it up again, it was already fragrant with warm cheese, and its soft texture was unforgettable. There were also sweet and crispy diced radish, and soft, sweet boiled potatoes...
[Rabbit Qingqing: Ahhhhh why are all of them so delicious?? Absolutely amazing!]
【TGX771: +1】
[Little Bear Highlighter: This is seriously delicious! woooooo!! It’s so delicious I can’t even comment quickly, I’m afraid I’ll miss out if I do! ! !]
The audience was stunned by the delicious food that came one after another, without any aesthetic fatigue, and the barrage of comments was filled with various gifts for a long time.
The popularity has been skyrocketing, and it is now ranked second on the homepage's real-time popularity list.
Different ingredients have different flavors, but they are all unified in the rich aroma of cheese, milk and wine. This is the charm of hot pot.
The little fox ate from Gu Yumian's hand in small bites, looking at him with moist eyes and making small, expectant chirps. Because the atmosphere was so safe and relaxing, the panda cub rubbed its round head against Gu Yumian's palm.
The little snow leopard nudged the side of Gu Yumian's neck with its paw pads and wrapped its long tail around Gu Yumian's wrist, asking him to look at it.
Gu Yumian: “…” Aren’t they all so cute?
On a winter afternoon, chatting with family while eating hot and fragrant cheese hot pot, there is a drowsy feeling of nostalgia.
"I'm going to say goodbye to everyone and go home for a nap." Gu Yumian held the little snow leopard's paw in his hand, pinched the little pad, and waved for the little fox to come over and help tidy up its fluffy tail. "Qiuqiu, are you going to stay at the Academy of Sciences? By the way, where is your home..."
Gu Yumian was actually a little reluctant, so after thinking about it, he decided to change the subject. Little Tangyuan lay on Gu Yumian's knees, and Gu Yumian rubbed its soft belly:
"Yuanyuan, are you still not full? What else do you want to eat?"
The baby panda yawned and whimpered twice, happily indicating that he still wanted to eat, but he also wanted to sleep.
Gu Yumian couldn't help but curl his eyes.
Their seats were right by the window, allowing them to watch the snowflakes falling outside, piled up in layers. The quilt was warm, and the charcoal in the small alcohol stove was crackling. The livestream's atmosphere, firmly controlled by Gu Yumian, gradually calmed down from its earlier excitement and excitement to a more relaxed and comfortable state.
The air was filled with the milky aroma of a hot cheese pan, mixed with hints of charcoal, old leather paper, and cinnamon.
The little snow leopard lazily rested on Gu Yumian's shoulder, while the baby panda and the little fox dozed off in Gu Yumian's arms, each of them petted and stroked by him from time to time. Gu Yumian was truly someone who easily reminded one of "home."
A gentle magnetic field unique to Gu Yumian descended and embraced the entire space.
Most people have such a winter in their hearts.
Sitting by the small fire with my family, we chatted and watched the snow fall. When sleepiness came, I would just drift off to sleep. If the snow had stopped when I woke up, I could have a snowball fight. If it hadn't stopped, I could just continue to while away the time doing nothing.
The atmosphere of the barrage became unusually peaceful.
[Lili: I love this winter brought by Mianmian. When will winter come to downtown?]
[Hometown Spring and Autumn: I want to see snow, I miss home QAQ]
However, even though the atmosphere is so calm and gentle, traffic from artificial and natural recommendation positions is still constantly being directed to the live broadcast room. In addition, there are spontaneous recommendations from the audience. Due to the extremely strong audience stickiness, the final result is extremely terrifying.
The number of viewers and popularity are still rising, 80 million, 90 million——
It didn’t take long for Gu Yumian to reach the top of the real-time popularity list on the homepage!
That’s the first one on the homepage.
This means that at this moment, Gu Yumian's live broadcast room is the most popular on the entire Xingkong platform. Even all the top streamers who are still broadcasting are not as popular as him.
At the same time, the total popularity ranking of the day and even the total popularity of the week also soared with the help of the east wind.
The audience's response across the screen was so good, not to mention the scientific researchers who were closer to Gu Yumian.
These workaholics can stay awake for days and nights while conducting experiments and research. In the past, even sitting down to eat a meal in peace was a real struggle, let alone a nap. But now, after finishing their steaming hot pot, sleepiness overwhelmed them.
But it is still a bit cold indoors in winter, and since it is not my home, I feel insecure.
But there is one corner that is different.
As sleepiness came over us, we instinctively decided that it seemed warm there and a good place for a nap.
“…”
Little Tangyuan had fallen asleep, and the little fox was also drowsy. Only the little snow leopard, perhaps because he was in a bad mood, was still domineeringly occupying Gu Yumian's arms and looking unhappy.
Gu Yumian held the little snow leopard and let it lie on his shoulder. He was about to get up to clean the table. At that moment, his feet were tripped by something.
He lowered his head.
A snow-white little rabbit curled up at his feet and fell asleep, then a Shiba Inu squeezed into his arms and fell asleep, and a Ragdoll cat put its paws in its tucked-in bed next to the Shiba Inu... At some point, the entire small kotatsu, with Gu Yumian as the center, was filled with many large and small animals sleeping, leaning against each other, stacked up and crowded together, which was almost spectacular.
The other seats were empty, and there was not a single researcher in sight.
It can be called a large-scale human-sucking scene.
Gu Yumian finally understood what was going on. Although he felt a little embarrassed, he couldn't help but be moved by the cuteness of this group of furry creatures and covered his nose.
“…”
Little Snow Leopard: “????”
