Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

The Culinary God Competition is held once every fifty years, making it a remarkable event in the interstellar era where the average lifespan is eight hundred years.

The winner of the competition will receive a generous prize and the gold medal and title of Star Chef.

It is the honor that all food bloggers on the food platform most desire. The previous God of Cookery was a woman named Yunhe from Earth.

Today, Yunhe's name is a household name in the interstellar world, and her restaurants are almost everywhere in the interstellar world.

However, some people say that the food at their restaurant is expensive and the taste is just so-so.

In short, despite the differing opinions, Yunhe achieved a leap in social class and became a wealthy and famous person.

On food platforms, many people take her as a role model, some preparing for decades or even centuries, just waiting to make a name for themselves in the next culinary competition.

There are conditions for participating in the God of Cookery competition. One is the age limit; people under 200 years old can participate, mainly to create opportunities for young people.

Secondly, chefs participating in the competition must post their dishes on food platforms and receive more than 50,000 votes.

This is why all food bloggers post their work and do live streams on food platforms; after Akahoshi arrived, all these requirements were met.

Akahoshi is only eighteen years old this year, which is really young compared to others. Before he even said he wanted to participate, his name appeared on the voting list.

Opening the computer, I saw the results of the cooking competition, which announced the winners of the votes. Ruan Nuo'er had won by a landslide with 20 million votes.

Akahoshi also has ten million, ranking second.

250 was overjoyed to see the increasing number of followers: [Over ten million followers! Your Highness, you're really popular!]

This was an achievement that Akahoshi had never reached before. Akahoshi couldn't quite describe how he felt, and he didn't care about the number of fans.

The name "Jade Cat" entered the live stream room with a trail of golden light. Chixing stopped thinking about anything else and started making breakfast.

"For breakfast today, I'll just make some simple fried rice noodles and shrimp and crab congee."

—Can you eat shrimp and crab? Those things with shells and pincers in front?

—Wow, it really is! Be careful, streamer, don't get caught in the trap, it's a bit scary.

Is this some new food? I've never seen this used to make porridge before.

Akahoshi carefully washed the fresh shrimp and crabs and also prepared dried scallops.

The fried rice noodles are bright and tempting, and you can smell their irresistible aroma even before they're cooked. People who get up early for work can only drool over them while drinking nutritional drinks.

Xuan Ziyu held the nutrient solution in one hand, his eyes fixed on the large screen being projected.

He was home alone today. His older brother went to a company meeting, and his second brother flew to A002 planet to play e-sports.

Xuan Ziyu himself is not interested in anything, his only hobby is food, but he has never cooked it himself.

Besides occasionally drawing, my usual pastime at home is watching live streams.

No, there's one more now, namely Akahoshi. He wants to learn more about Akahoshi.

Not far from the sofa, an easel was placed facing the balcony. The light was enough to make it clear that the painting depicted a man standing in front of a stove, holding a spatula in one hand and a pot in the other.

The cat-eared boy, not far away, quietly watched the man. On the table in front of him was a cup of fruit tea with two straws inserted.

Xuan Ziyu put down the nutrient solution, hurriedly added highlights to the blue eyes of the boy in the painting, and turned to leave.

"Wait until the rice inside is cooked until it becomes thick and soft. Making porridge is very simple."

Akahoshi stirred the pot with a wooden spoon, and the simple shrimp and crab porridge gave off a delicious aroma.

—This stuff doesn't smell fishy at all.

Akahoshi saw this comment and casually picked up a piece of ginger:

"Washing meat with scallion and ginger water can remove a lot of the fishy smell. Ginger shreds are also added to the shrimp and crab porridge, so there is no fishy smell."

Everyone kept saying they had learned something new.

But no one would think they could cook these dishes. They've been drinking nutritional supplements since they were little, and only wealthy people can afford to buy ingredients to cook.

Therefore, most food vloggers are either wealthy or have become famous and thus have the resources to create more diverse and delicious dishes.

Akahoshi realized that the people here didn't eat shrimp and crab. Even if they did, it was the poor people living by the sea who ate them. The first impression of fish, shrimp, and crab was that they had a strong fishy smell, and no one would like to eat them.

Today, Akahoshi told them that this thing was not only edible, but also very delicious.

As soon as the shrimp and crab congee was served, the viewers in the live stream couldn't resist taking a bite, their eyes widening in surprise.

The taste can be summed up in one word: fresh. The shrimp meat is firm and springy. Apart from the shell, which wasn't very tasty, there were no other problems.

Ignoring the comments, Akahoshi continued explaining how to peel shrimp and crabs, especially crabs, which are more difficult to peel, but after eating the crab meat, he felt that the trouble was worth it.

Chixing took out some flour, minced some meat, prepared the filling, and started wrapping the dumplings.

The comments on the screen kept coming.

—And what is this?

—I declare that shrimp and crab congee is the best breakfast I've ever had.

—That beef fried rice noodles are so delicious, they smell so good! Can't Xingxing really be sold? I'd be willing to pay for it.

When will we be able to eat real food? Ugh!

Akahoshi continued working with his hands while replying, "It probably won't be long before I go to participate in the God of Cookery competition. No matter what the result is, I will open a restaurant."

His movements seemed unhurried, but the steamer basket in the pot was already full.

"Once the xiaolongbao are made, put them in a pot and steam for eight to ten minutes until they are cooked."

Everyone stared intently at the buns in the pot. Inside the transparent lid, the buns had miraculously grown larger, much to everyone's surprise.

At this point, the number of viewers in Chixing's live stream room surged to 30 million.

Akahoshi raised an eyebrow and asked, "You guys, haven't you ever seen xiaolongbao before?"

The screen was filled with comments: -- None.

250 Explanation: [After the start of the interstellar era, people generally drank simple and filling nutrient solutions, and very few people were willing to cook, let alone eat pasta.]

Many noodle-making techniques have been lost, and many ingredients are no longer recognized, like the shrimp and crab mentioned earlier; even the upper-class humans didn't know that those things were edible.

That's not surprising.

Akahoshi explained to them the principles of yeast powder and flour fermentation: "Actually, these are common delicacies on ancient Earth. I once saw them in my grandfather's recipe book."

—Really? I've never seen Ruan Nuo'er do these things before.

—Yes, yes, he said the recipes were from his family, so I haven't seen him make any of them.

—It's always the same few dishes, I think he's gotten tired of them. Akahoshi is much better, he can actually find so many delicious foods.

"Actually, I'm not the only one who discovered these things. It's just that people think cooking is too difficult. If you want to learn, you can follow my videos step by step."

Akahoshi said earnestly to the camera, "Food is something that has been passed down little by little from our ancestors. It should not become the secret recipe of any one family or individual."
