Chapter 56 Eating, Eating, Eating
Su Jiaojiao nodded and followed him to the rest area.
Watching their retreating figures, a hint of resentment flashed in Song Jiaqi's eyes.
She clenched her fists and silently vowed to herself:
Su Jiaojiao, you just wait, I'm going to make you look bad on the show!
Let's see if anyone still likes you!
As soon as Su Jiaojiao sat down in the rest area, the system panel lit up.
"Host, darling~ A large crowd has been detected nearby, and your affection level is steadily increasing! Current real-time affection level: +100, +200, +500..."
Tuanzi excitedly bounced around in front of her: "Host, look!"
The live stream is now live, and the number of viewers has already exceeded 10 million!
Su Jiaojiao opened the live stream, and the screen was instantly flooded with comments.
【Ahhh! Our goddess Jiao Jiao has finally appeared! She looks absolutely stunning in this outfit today!】
[Help! This is divine beauty! Her skin is amazing! I'm so envious, even as a girl, I'm crying!]
[Is that President Jiang next to Jiao Jiao? Oh my god! President Jiang is so handsome! These two standing together are a paradise for those who appreciate good looks!]
What did Song Jiaqi mean by that just now? Was she jealous? She's obviously just jealous of our Jiaojiao's beauty!
[President Jiang's rebuke is spot on! That's exactly right! Let's see if she dares to bully our Jiaojiao again!]
[Jiaojiao, keep going! We'll always support you!]
Seeing the screen full of praise and support, Su Jiaojiao felt much better.
She smiled and waved at the camera, instantly eliciting another round of screams.
"Honey, host~ We've already racked up 100,000 love points in the live stream! At this rate, we'll definitely break a million love points today!" Tuanzi exclaimed excitedly.
Just as Su Jiaojiao was about to speak, she heard the director shout:
"Dear guests, please get ready, we are about to begin recording!"
The first segment of "A Culinary Adventure" is a food blind box challenge.
The director, holding a large box, said with a smile:
"Distinguished guests, this box contains specialty snacks from all over the country. You will taste them blindfolded and then guess the ingredients and their origins. If you guess correctly, you will be rewarded with a top-quality local specialty. If you guess incorrectly, you will have to accept the punishment—eat a bite of ghost pepper!"
"Huh? Ghost pepper?" Wang Hao exclaimed exaggeratedly.
"Director, you're too ruthless!"
The director burst into laughter:
"That's more like a challenge! Okay, who should we start with?"
Song Jiaqi immediately raised her hand: "Director, I'll go first!"
She wanted to be the first to speak and showcase herself in front of the camera.
The director nodded and handed her an eye mask. Song Jiaqi put it on, and a staff member came over with a plate containing a pastry.
She picked up the pastry, took a bite, savored it carefully, and said confidently:
"This is osmanthus cake, made in Suzhou!"
"Congratulations, Song Jiaqi! You guessed right!" the director said with a smile.
"A complimentary Yangcheng Lake hairy crab from Suzhou as a reward!"
Song Jiaqi smiled smugly and gave Su Jiaojiao a provocative look.
Next up was Chen Yu, who correctly guessed Changsha stinky tofu and won a serving of Changsha crayfish. Zhou Li correctly guessed Chengdu dan dan noodles and won a serving of Chengdu hot pot base. Wang Hao, however, guessed wrong and was forced to eat a bite of ghost pepper, which brought tears to his eyes and made the whole audience burst into laughter.
It was Su Jiaojiao's turn.
She put on the blindfold, and everything went completely dark.
A staff member walked over with a plate, and a rich aroma wafted into her nose. She picked up the food from the plate, took a bite, and found it to be soft and chewy, with a subtle coconut and mango sweetness, and a refreshing coolness.
She savored it for a moment, a slight smile playing on her lips:
"This is mango sticky rice, made in Chiang Mai, Thailand."
"Wow!" the director exclaimed in surprise.
"Jiaojiao, you're amazing! You guessed it right! Here's a serving of durian from Chiang Mai, Thailand!"
The live stream chat instantly exploded.
Holy crap! Jiaojiao is amazing! She even guessed the Thai snacks correctly!
[This description of the texture is so accurate! My mouth is watering!]
[Jiaojiao is not only beautiful, but also so talented! I love her!]
Where did Song Jiaqi's smug expression go?
[Hahaha! The slap in the face came so fast, like a tornado!]
Song Jiaqi's face turned pale and then red, her jealousy intensifying.
In the following rounds of challenges, Su Jiaojiao performed exceptionally well, guessing correctly almost every time and winning a large number of prizes. Song Jiaqi, on the other hand, made frequent mistakes, ate several bites of ghost peppers, and ended up with swollen, red lips, looking quite disheveled.
After the first round, Su Jiaojiao won first place with an absolute advantage.
During the break, Jiang Yi came over and handed her a bottle of water:
"Are you tired? Have some water."
Su Jiaojiao took the water and sipped it slowly. Sunlight shone on her face, making her skin appear fair and translucent, like transparent glass.
Jiang Yi looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness.
He reached out and wiped the stain from the corner of her mouth; the warmth of his fingertips made her tremble slightly.
"Thank you, Brother Jiang Yi."
She looked up and smiled at him, a smile as bright as the sunshine.
Jiang Yi's heart skipped a beat, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he was about to say something when he heard the director shout:
"Distinguished guests, the second segment is about to begin! The Fun Kitchen Challenge!"
The rules for the second segment, the Fun Kitchen Challenge, are as follows: Guests are divided into two groups of two. Each group uses randomly provided ingredients to create a creative dish, which is then scored by the audience and judges. The group with the higher score wins.
The director took out a lottery box and said with a smile:
"Now let's draw lots to divide us into groups!"
Su Jiaojiao reached out and drew a slip of paper; it had Jiang Yi's name on it.
"That's wonderful!" she exclaimed happily.
Jiang Yi smiled, walked to her side, and whispered, "Don't worry, with me here, we'll definitely win."
On the other side, Song Jiaqi drew Chen Yu.
She glanced at Su Jiaojiao and Jiang Yi, a calculating glint in her eyes.
