Chapter 276 A Bite of China (5)

No matter how fiercely people outside are fighting over a takeout meal, there's a temporary feast prepared in advance in the live broadcast room by Kagawa. Even if the taste can't compare to the mouthwatering ingredients like ham, bamboo shoots, and fresh fish in the documentary, it at least prevents unexpected situations like the streamer stopping the broadcast to go eat because of excessive hunger.

The main thing is that Xiangxue did consider temporarily leaving the live broadcast room to scavenge some hot food from the kitchen.

Fortunately, Lin Ming, who was beside her, realized her intention immediately and handed the whole bucket of potatoes in his hand to Xiangxue without hesitation.

Potatoes, a pure starch food, become crispy and fragrant after being deep-fried, but they still pale in comparison to the mouthwatering whole fish feast depicted in the picture. However, starch is good enough to stave off hunger.

Kagawa, sitting on the sofa next to them, witnessed these little interactions between the two anchors and chuckled softly twice.

—See, this is how you see the benefits of preparing snacks in advance.

With the first episode of "A Bite of China" ending with a brief connection between all the characters who appeared, today's live broadcast has come to an end.

But how could the audience let Xiangxue, the anchor, and Xiangchuan, who was watching from the sidelines, off so quickly? They all demanded that another episode be shown, or that it be rebroadcast, so that Xiangchuan and Xiangxue could provide some explanations that incorporated ancient knowledge about the segments.

—It's so good, one broadcast isn't enough!

The dense barrage of comments in the live stream can be summarized in one sentence:

Unfortunately, under normal circumstances, Kagawa might have actually granted their wish and given them a second playthrough live stream explanation.

Unfortunately, after watching the first episode, Kagawa was starving. Although she had a potato snack gift pack and toasted bread slices to keep her watching, it's well known that the first season of "A Bite of China" was of such high quality that it was not only reflected in its descriptions of humanities and the atmosphere of cooking, but also in its ability to make every viewer feel like they could devour a whole cow while watching and after watching it.

That's the feeling I have in Kagawa right now.

Of course, as a viewer of "A Bite of China" who has watched it multiple times, she is more or less immune to it compared to modern people, so at this moment she just wanted Xiaoxing to help her make some fried rice or dumplings to fill her stomach.

The others in the live stream were in a terrible situation. At this moment, they even hoped that the kitchen AI could prepare a sumptuous meal immediately. Even Ouyang Yating, who was usually quite polite at Xiangchuan's house, couldn't help but join in ordering food.

—The food in the documentary looks so delicious!
This is probably how all the viewers of the Third Fleet rushed to order takeout after watching this episode of "A Bite of China".

At this point, people from other companies even contacted Xiang Weiguo, saying frankly that their companies could assist Yuexiang Group with takeout delivery, so they hoped that Xiang Weiguo could arrange for restaurants to prepare more ingredients so that they could order takeout tonight.

Upon receiving the message, Xiang Weiguo chuckled twice.

Is he unwilling? Currently, almost all of his restaurants are dealing with 40% more orders than usual during peak dining hours, and this doesn't even include dine-in orders.

Do they lack food delivery robots? Not at all! What they lack most right now is ingredients!
While ordering his late-night snack from the kitchen AI, Xiang Weiguo contacted his regular food suppliers and the Agriculture Bureau.

Judging from the current trend, late-night food delivery orders will likely continue until well past midnight. Furthermore, with universities now on holiday, students can no longer eat in their school cafeterias. If they want to enjoy traditional Chinese cuisine, they'll have to rely on Yuexiang Restaurant's delivery service.

The good news is that Xiang Weiguo is finally able to make money from the students.

The bad news is that this turmoil is expected to last throughout the summer vacation, and it seems that the total amount of ingredients originally planned by Yuexiang Group will not be enough to keep up with the restaurant's consumption rate. Xiang Weiguo is currently experiencing a bittersweet mix of pain and pleasure.

Kagawa naturally ignored the viewers' requests for her and her sister to do a second live stream.

Fortunately, video websites and the official website of the Agriculture Bureau came to their rescue.

The first episode of "A Bite of China" is now available for free on video websites and the official website of the Agriculture Bureau!
This immediately reduced the number of comments in the live stream, and most people are probably now holding their freshly delivered takeout and watching the first episode again.

When the Information Bureau and the Agriculture Bureau came to discuss the broadcast process with the Kagawa sisters, they all thought Kagawa would ask for payment. To their surprise, Kagawa agreed and made it available for free.

Kagawa: If it weren't for the fact that so many paid drama series have been released, I would really consider including documentaries in the paid category as well.

Kagawa said at the time:

“My sister and I are not short of money right now. Documentaries, which have more historical research value than dramatic value, are a good choice to serve the people.”

The officials in charge of the Information Bureau and the Agriculture Bureau were deeply moved by these words and patted their chests to assure them that they would ensure the smooth running of the live broadcast and that there would be no problems with the server.

It's easy to guess that the Agriculture Bureau and the Institute of History are working through the night, repeatedly reviewing every minute of the first episode of "A Bite of China".

Documentaries are great! They authentically filmed the lifestyles and food cultures of people in various countries around the world at that time, and also recorded some pristine natural scenes.
Right now, government staff working overtime at the Agriculture Bureau and the Institute of History are expressing similar sentiments on social media, feeling both pain and joy.

On the table.

Kagawa was munching on xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) while waiting for her fried rice, which included two large chicken drumsticks, to be ready. Bored, she turned on her screen and scrolled through social media, seeing everyone in the group discussing "A Bite of China."

Just then, she caught a glimpse of these remarks from the government employees of the Agriculture Bureau.

As expected of a professional, their focus is quite different from that of the average viewer.

Kagawa nodded in admiration.

At the same time, Kagawa noticed that he had nearly thirty unread message notifications in his email inbox.

Previously, in the live streaming room, she simply turned off the message notifications for the sake of convenience.

Without a doubt, it's those gluttons from Class 8 of the first year of high school asking her for inside information like when the dishes made from these ingredients will be available.
While inwardly marveling at the young man's voracious appetite, Kagawa opened his email inbox.

She guessed correctly; her classmates in Class 8 of the first year of high school had indeed sent her quite a few emails. However, nearly three-quarters of these twenty-odd emails were from the head of the production escort ship department, with whom she had previously exchanged contact information.

Kagawa recalled the days when Ryoko's mother, with a beaming smile, assigned her one investigation task after another, and she and the rest of Class 8 in the first year of high school struggled with dense text.

Isn't it? Come again?

In the past two weeks, bronchitis, a sprained arm muscle, and a toothache have all come rushing to me like they're on a tight schedule.
