The Movie King Livestreams Cooking Rice

Chapter 4: Livestream (3)

Nguyễn Đường is the type of person who acts once he thinks of something. He immediately signed up to become a food streamer for the Tấn Giang livestream system. His personal information was already in the system’s database, so his application was automatically completed. He only needed to submit the form and wait for the system to review it. Once approved, he would become a legal streamer.

While waiting for approval, he went to the shopping area and filtered his cart, leaving only potatoes, bok choy, eggs, pork, rice, oil, and salt. The total came to one hundred and fifty common currency.

The food was delivered by express within fifteen minutes.

Looking at his account, which now only had fifty common currency left, Nguyễn Đường realized that making money had become an urgent matter.

Just then, his bracelet suddenly made a "Keng" sound, followed by a notification window appearing, informing him that his application to become a streamer had been approved. His personal livestream channel was now active, and the livestreaming tools were being delivered. The system also sent him a user guide.

After reading the guide, he found that livestreaming was not difficult. The functionality was very similar to the system he used in his previous life, with the only differences being some advanced features and improved overall techniques.

The express delivery service was impressive, and not long after, two deliveries arrived nearly simultaneously. Nguyễn Đường had the smart butler receive the package for him. He opened the livestreaming system package himself, while letting Tiểu Bạch bring the cooking ingredients into the kitchen.

The livestreaming system delivered a set of invisible broadcasting glasses and a camera. Once the streamer wore the glasses, the audience could view the livestream from the streamer's perspective, while the camera captured the entire livestream space. Both types of broadcasts could encrypt the surrounding environment, and only after encryption would the stream be uploaded to the livestream system, ensuring high personal privacy and security.

Using the invisible glasses for livestreaming allowed the audience to observe the entire cooking process, increasing the interaction between the streamer and viewers. The downside was that the streamer's face would not appear on screen. The streamer who livestreamed in the restaurant yesterday had used the camera instead.

In less than five seconds, the pot was hot.

Nguyễn Đường poured in the minced meat, and the sizzling sound echoed from the pot, with the aroma of the meat slowly wafting out.

[Meo Meo doesn’t eat fish: Wow, what’s the streamer doing? It smells so good, truly amazing!]

A semi-transparent comment passed by his screen, and Nguyễn Đường noticed that the counter at the bottom left of his livestream channel had changed from 0 to 3, which gave him a bit more confidence.

“I’m making pork and bok choy porridge. The green stuff over there is bok choy that I’ve chopped up, and right now, I’m stir-frying minced meat,” he said as he scooped the cooked meat into a bowl that had been prepared in advance.

[Hugging the tree but can't lift it: Aaaah! It's so hot!!!]

Seeing this comment, Nguyễn Đường realized that someone couldn’t resist the tempting smell of the meat and had sneakily eaten some of the meat he had just stir-fried. He couldn’t help but chuckle softly. “The food just out of the pot will be very hot, plus this is only a semi-finished product. It’s not ready to eat yet.”

[Hugging the tree but can't lift it: Alright, TAT]

Next, he added rice to the pot, rinsed it twice, and poured in the right amount of water before starting to cook.

With an audience watching, Nguyễn Đường also explained his process to them: “Now we’re going to start cooking the porridge, but it’ll take a little while. While waiting for the porridge to cook, we’re going to make some simple potato fritters.”

He set the cooking time for the porridge and then turned his attention elsewhere, grabbing two potatoes and washing them under the faucet.

[Meo Meo doesn’t eat fish: Potatoes are the newly announced safe ingredient from a few days ago, right? Has the streamer already learned how to use it? So impressive!]

Nguyễn Đường glanced at the comment and realized that potatoes were the newly announced clean ingredient. No wonder they were so cheap; they must be trying to promote them more.

He spun the potato in his hand, took a thin knife in his right hand, and gently peeled off the delicate skin of the potato, earning some praise from the audience.

However, at that very moment, a new comment appeared.

[Secret Lower: The chef’s association hasn’t even set the standards for eating potatoes yet, and a new streamer dares to cook them so casually. Do you have a chef certification? What if something happens when eating it?]

Nguyễn Đường finished peeling the potatoes, briefly raised his eyes to look at the comments section, and immediately saw this one. Before he could respond, the viewers who were impatient to taste the minced meat spoke up for him.

[Hugging the tree but can't hold on: What's wrong with the upstairs floor? Isn't it that the chefs' association takes forever to do anything, and besides, when a new food is announced, the hope is that everyone will try it, should we really wait for the chefs' association to announce it first before following suit?]

Seeing that the two were about to argue in the comment section, Nguyễn Đường asked right at that moment: "Chefs' association?"

[Secret Under: What ancient planet did this streamer come from? Doesn't even know the chefs' association?]

[Hugging the tree but can't hold on: The chefs' association is considered an official organization. Normally, when the scientific institute announces a new safe food, the chefs will collaborate to research how to prepare that food, and then they’ll announce it. Chefs must have a certification to work in restaurants, but there's no regulation saying you need certification just to livestream! Clearly, they’re encouraging us to learn new preparation methods!]

"Oh, I see. So, the chef certification is also taken there?" Nguyễn Đường nodded continuously, "I’ll wait a bit longer and then go take the certification exam."

The viewer with the ID "Secret Under" couldn’t help but sneer.

[Secret Under: You think getting a chef certification is easy? Even for just a one-star certification, you have to know how to handle five types of ingredients, and the taste can’t be bad. The more stars you aim for, the harder it gets. Looking at you, it’s probably best if you just stay quiet in your livestream and fool children!]

The girl didn’t hold back in her sarcasm, making the two other viewers uncomfortable.

Nguyễn Đường calmed them down a bit and didn’t take it to heart. After all, in his previous life, there were many keyboard warriors. What kind of people hadn’t he seen? This was nothing.

He peeled the potatoes and cut them into thick slices, then placed them in another pot of water to boil. Once the chopsticks could easily pierce them, he took the potatoes out and mashed them with a spoon.

The mashed potatoes were a little dry, so he added some milk to balance it out and also give the potatoes a nice milky aroma.

Nguyễn Đường then added just the right amount of salt. After stirring it well, he used his hands to mold the mashed potatoes into small balls. After all, the potato cakes should be about the size of ping-pong balls, and two potatoes were enough to make a large plate.
