"And there you have it. This is my take on Oyakodon, with a little change to the recipe, of course. Simple, but full of flavor and perfect for a comforting meal."
Emma, who had finished speaking, showed them the bowl of Oyakodon, a work that would later be considered one of the greatest pieces of art in the new century, but unfortunately lost.
The golden sheen of the eggs and the perfectly seared chicken glistened under the lights. The stream chat went wild with comments:
[Euh, am I still watching a cooking video or an art exhibition?]
[I once lived in Japan for a while, and a normal Oyakodon definitely didn't look like this.]
[I think I understand the concept now, with some practice, I can definitely do it.]
[Meh, it looks good, but I don't think it would taste that great, so what's the point?]
Even though the chat was continuing, Emma's attention was elsewhere. She received a system notification:
[The host taught the Japanese dish Oyakodon to 52,691 people. 6,421 have understood the basics of making Oyakodon. Does the host wish to claim the rewards?]
Only then did she realize that when teaching so many people at once, the system waited until the end of the session before giving her feedback.
Emma wanted to end the livestream, but well, she couldn't just end things abruptly. She had to calm down and finish the session properly.
Emma knew that people could be strange sometimes. They would pay just to watch someone eat, so she might as well grant them their wish.
She said, "Alright, I think it's time for a taste test."
Now sitting in front of the camera with the plate in her hand, she gathered a piece of chicken, egg, and rice, lifting it toward her mouth.
Emma was looking forward to the taste. The enhanced taste was a double-edged sword: it made bad dishes taste worse and the best dishes taste even better once in her mouth.
To her delight as a foodie, when it landed in her mouth, it was simply divine. The savory richness of the chicken, the sweetness of the onions, the perfect balance of soy sauce and mirin, it was all so perfect.
The eggs were soft and fluffy, tying everything together with a velvety texture that was absolutely divine. The rice underneath had soaked up the sauce, providing a tender yet firm foundation for the dish.
It was perfect, just as she had imagined it would be.
At this moment, Emma didn't know how many people she had made swallow their saliva, some because they thought the food must be delicious, and others, the cultured men, for seeing such a perfect woman lifting a fork to her mouth and imagining if it were their spear.
What she said after swallowing made the foodies even more eager: "Wow, I know I made it, but this is seriously good. The flavors are just... wow."
[RebirthOfAnOldHag: Girl, I admit you've caught my attention. Is there a way to get your dish?]
[Balmung1989: Yes! Why don't you open a restaurant or something? I'd definitely be one of your first customers.]
[Chelsea2Valve: Hmm, if possible, I'd love to be the first to enjoy this dish.]
Seeing the comments, Emma thought about it for a moment before shaking her head. "Nah, I don't have that much time. I have important things to do later, but I might open a school where I'll teach my skills. That's for later, though."
As Emma was enjoying her food while chatting with the fans, the online viewer count quickly rose to 100,000. Unfortunately, they arrived after the teaching session, but it was still nice to have so much attention, even if it was online.
After she finished eating, she continued chatting with them for five more minutes. In fact, it was more of them asking about the mutant fights, while she explained.
When her impatience about claiming her rewards reached its peak, plus there wasn't much else to talk about, she said, "Well, I guess that's a wrap for today, everyone."
"Thank you for coming to my channel. To be honest, I didn't expect such a large audience. Although I don't want to end the session, see you two days later at the same time."
She said this while blinking and acting cute before finally ending the live session.
After making sure the broadcast had ended, Emma noticed some people were still complaining, while others began chatting in private discussions she had added to make her site more popular.
Excited, she said, "Now it's just you and me. Hehe, System, I claim the rewards."
[The host has claimed the rewards.]
[Congratulations for teaching 6,421 people the basics of making Oyakodon. The host receives 41,789 Teaching Points and Perfect Mastery of Kaiseki Cuisine.]
'More than 40,000 TP?' It didn't exceed her expectations, but she was still happy to confirm her thoughts. As for Kaiseki Cuisine, she didn't know what it was.
