Chapter 18: Drama Streamer? Gourmet Food Streamer!
Just as Brother Xiang Qi and Xiang Chuan arrived at the Information Bureau, Xiang Xue had already preliminarily constructed the live stream binge-watching platform through her friend circle network.
Xiang Xue sat on the sofa in the entertainment room, holding the live stream platform concept that Xiang Chuan had simply listed for her on the way there, fiddling with the freshly set up live stream room accordingly.
“Connect the big screen to the live stream screen, shrink the streamer screen and place it in the bottom left or bottom right corner… Is this size okay?”
Xiang Xue tried an eighth size, and at this time, the testing live stream room only had her friends in it.
【It’s good, I adjusted the terminal screen here to palm size and can still see the streamer screen clearly.】
【But the resolution is a bit low when projected on the big screen.】
【Low is fine, Xiao Xue said the image her sister gave is also low resolution, putting them together is just right.】
In the chat column on the right side of the screen, the friends responsible for constructing the platform were quickly typing to discuss the debugging effects.
【Xiao Xue, when are you streaming? I can’t wait.】
【Is it really that good? I skipped today’s date to wait for you.】
【Wait a bit longer, wait a bit longer, I’ll start after I finish my homework.】
【Who writes homework with the terminal on? Are you here to complain?】
【Get lost, don’t come to me for homework copying when school starts.】
These were people who heard the news and came to wait together to watch the image that Xiang Xue said was “extremely good-looking.”
“Then let’s try streaming one episode. The servant just brought the snacks over.”
Watching the servant placing freshly made french fries and yam cake on the coffee table, Xiang Xue couldn’t wait to start binge-watching with everyone. She pressed the play button on the controller, and when the music started and the screen appeared, the live stream room with only a dozen people instantly exploded.
【What music is this? What clothes??】
【This language isn’t modern language, right? It sounds like some ancient language?】
【I heard my university relative say a few sentences, it seems like ancient Chinese.】
【Why are the men inside all shaved half their heads? They look so weird.】
【But these men are pretty good-looking.】
Watching her friends’ continuous complaints, Xiang Xue, who had binged these two episodes N times, couldn’t help but be amused. She shared some basic knowledge she got from her sister: “This is a TV series produced in the ancient Chinese era. The people inside speak a language created imitating the ancient era. The era background inside is… Qing Dynasty? Is that how you pronounce it?”
Xiang Xue glanced at the cheat sheet on the terminal, thinking that this proper noun was really awkward to pronounce.
【Imitating the ancient era? Why go to such lengths?】
【No wonder the subtitle translations have some common words with now.】
【Why is the screen full of women? This isn’t some prohibited image, right? We’re all minors.】
【What are you thinking? If it were really prohibited, it couldn’t be relayed through Xiao Xue’s terminal.】
【It’s starting, it’s starting.】
After the theme song ended, it immediately cut to a distant view of an ancient palace, then all the way to the hall inside. Just this background made the comment section refresh rate hit a new high, and the classmates logging into the platform visibly increased.
【Saw the Class President and vice class president strongly recommending this in the class chat group. What is being streamed? Virtual reenactment documentary?】
【This background is really nice, just the sky doesn’t look this blue. Is it some filming technique?】
【That chair above the hall isn’t real gold, right? A bit stingy, but the design is really good.】
At this time, Xiang Xue saw quite a few comments hoping to relax the invitation restrictions:
【Xiao Xue, Xiao Xue, can you open the restricted invitation for my sister to join?】
【Xiang Xue, my mother wants to watch too. Can you let her in?】
Xiang Xue discussed it with the friends responsible for constructing the platform in the discussion group, and conveniently sent a message to Xiang Chuan and Brother Xiang Qi.
The friends said they could relax the restrictions at any time, and five seconds later, she received Xiang Chuan’s reply:
“The registration procedures are done. We’re on the way back. Use the restrictions however you want, and pull me in to watch too.”
The message also attached a link for formal authorization to use Empresses in the Palace. Xiang Xue guessed it must be Brother Xiang Qi who suggested she bring it.
After getting formal authorization and permission, the platform’s audience instantly doubled. The classmates became a bit restrained because of the parents joining, and the parents didn’t talk much either, so the screen refresh speed actually dropped a bit.
“Ah, the protagonist is out. This girl is Zhen Huan. Her straight bangs are pretty cute.”
The screen cut to the temple, and seeing the protagonist appear, Xiang Xue said casually.
【I like it too. It makes the face look small.】
【It makes the face look round, haha.】
Xiang Xue explained sentence by sentence up to the part where Zhen Huan attends the selection. Although she usually talked a lot, she wasn’t a chatterbox after all. Saying so much still made her thirsty. She casually picked up the orange juice beside her and drank more than half a cup. When she put down the cup, she realized the comment section’s focus had all shifted to her.
【Xiao Xue, what are you drinking? Why is it yellowish?】
【Xiao Xue, is what you’re drinking some medicine?】
【Kid, if you’re sick, don’t play these tiring things.】
They thought orange juice was medicine? Xiang Xue was embarrassed.
“This isn’t medicine. It’s orange juice, a beverage made by blending and stirring the juice and pulp of oranges. It’s that fruit orange. It’s good for the throat.”
【Beverage? What is a beverage?】
“My sister said it’s a liquid that can quench thirst.”
【Orange? Isn’t that thing very bitter?】
“It’s not bitter after peeling the skin. My sister always peeled the skin before making juice. She said all fruits can be made into juice like this after peeling. My family has been making apple juice and orange juice lately.”
【If it’s just to quench thirst, can’t you just drink water? Why need beverages?】
“But water has no taste! Beverages are so tasty. Orange juice is sweet, apple juice is sweet and sour, sweet and sour. My sister said drinking apple juice with meals can help with digestion.”
【I just gave the banana to the kitchen AI to peel and blend the pulp as you said, but why is it sticky? Not as fluid as your cup.】
“Uh… I don’t know about that. My sister uses bananas to make food.” Xiang Xue looked at the backend user list. Her sister was in the platform. “My sister is in the comment section. Xiang Chuan sis, how do you make banana juice?”
Huh? Isn’t this a live stream binge-watching? How did it turn into a juice discussion show?
In the car on the return trip, Xiang Chuan held the terminal watching her sister’s blinking big eyes on the screen, speechless, but still honestly answered the question.
【Bananas are quite viscous, so I personally suggest mixing with other more fluid liquids to make beverages. For juice, you can consider adding some sugar water. The so-called sugar water is the liquid obtained by dissolving white sugar in boiling water.】
Xiang Chuan’s answer immediately drew attention.
【Is this Xiao Xue’s sister? Hello!】
【Xiang Chuan sis! Long time no see!】
【Thanks for the reply. I’ll try it right now!】
【I have hot water handy. I tried it, it really tastes good!】
【Learned something new. Thanks Xiang Chuan sis. Next time I go to your home to play, I’ll bring more snacks to honor you~】
Xiang Chuan looked at the scrolling comment section. Her “memory” had almost no information about her sister’s friends. Their way of addressing was probably imitating Xiang Xue. What a bunch of familiar kids.
At this time, someone in the comment section discovered the key point from Xiang Xue’s earlier statement:
【Xiao Xue said Xiang Chuan sis uses bananas to make food. Is it some liquid food? Or new solid food? Could it be Yue Xiang’s new product?】
“Neither,” Xiang Xue speared a piece of fried banana with a fork, took a bite, and turned the cut side to the screen. “It looks like this.”
Instantly, the comment section exploded.
【What is this? I just heard a crunch sound? Not my illusion, right?】
【Why is there a sandy sound when chewing? What texture is this?】
【What is that yellowish layer outside?】
【Why does the fruit flesh look darker than the banana my home kitchen AI just cut? New variety?】
【Xiao Xue, Xiao Xue, tell us how it tastes?】
“The outside layer is crispy, and after deep frying, the whole banana is warm and sweet. It’s very delicious.” Saying that, Xiang Xue swallowed the remaining half piece too. “My brother just told me the food recipe can’t be disclosed yet, so… sorry everyone~”
She turned to pick up a plate of french fries, dipped them in ketchup, and continued binge-watching. At this time, the comment section exploded even more.
Xiang Chuan expressionlessly closed the live stream room.
Is this still a live stream binge-watching? This is an eating streamer live stream room, right?
