Inside Huayin's office, Wu Lianqu, the chief planning director, also saw the data, and his heart was pounding.
He never expected that Master Jiang's first live stream would receive so many tips.
Within 20 minutes, the tip amount had exceeded 60 million.
It showed that Master Jiang's cooking skills had been recognized by the culinary world.
After deducting taxes, Huayin would receive over 10 million in commission.
Thinking back to the 10 million signing bonus Huayin had offered Master Jiang, it seemed pitiful now.
Wu Lianqu didn't dare to contact Master Jiang to discuss the contract anymore; he couldn't face that.
Even if it was Master Jiang, he wouldn't sign a contract. He could earn so much money just by casually doing a live stream, so why would he want to be restricted?
But it's not a done deal yet. If Master Jiang, such a talented individual, were to be poached by Xiayin, it would definitely take away a large amount of traffic, and Huayin would suffer a huge loss.
Only by modifying the contract could they keep Master Jiang.
In Su Yunlong's villa.
At this moment, Su Yunlong was in the kitchen, watching the live stream of a "young dad" while learning to cook.
He had two major hobbies: cooking and calligraphy.
Since handing the group over to Su Meng, he had spent most of his time in the villa, eating three meals a day, a typical stay-at-home dad.
He didn't like the food made by the housekeeper, feeling that what he cooked tasted better.
So, during this time, his wife, Liu Mengyan, ate the dishes he cooked every day.
The nannies did nothing all day except clean the house and help Su Yunlong wash vegetables, basins, and dishes.
"Honey, honey, today that Little Daddy Master is live-streaming Pan-Fried Pork Belly, Jadeite and White Jade Soup, Starry Sky Cups, and Gold Thread Jade Robe Rolls. We have all the ingredients. Let's see how my cooking skills are today."
Su Yunlong said happily to his wife, Liu Mengyan, who was sitting in the living room.
Liu Mengyan was also smiling as she watched the Little Daddy's live stream, "Okay, okay, I'll taste it at noon and see what tricks you old man can come up with."
"Alright, thank you everyone. Today I made four dishes: Pan-Fried Pork Belly, Jadeite and White Jade Soup, Starry Sky Cups, and Gold Thread Jade Robe Rolls. See you next time."
Jiang Ning closed the live stream.
At this time, the number of people watching the live stream had soared to over 9 million.
If many hotel chefs weren't busy at this time, breaking the ten million mark would be easy.
Even though the live stream was closed and the screen was black, the gifts could still be given for another hour.
Huayin looked at the gifts and the money given, and was completely shocked.
So much money! After converting it into Huaxia currency, and deducting the platform's commission and taxes, he would get nearly 50 million Huaxia currency.
Before, when he was a network administrator, his monthly salary was only a little over 6,000.
Now, in just over 40 minutes, he had earned more than 49 million Huaxia currency. It felt like a dream.
Then, he thought for a moment, and decided it would be better not to contact those five big shots in the catering industry who had given him the most gifts for now.
He realized that he had many recipes in his mind, comprehensive and unique, that did not exist on the market.
He decided to use a dish to repay their gifts.
"Hello, Cantonese Cuisine Family・Chen Family, thank you for your generous tip. I'll make a video of an original Cantonese dish to repay your support…"
"Hello, Chuan Cuisine Legend・Li Family, thank you for your generous tip. I'll make a video of an original Chuan cuisine dish to repay your support…"
"Hello, Lu Cuisine Elite・Kong Family, thank you for your generous tip. I'll make a video of an original Lu cuisine dish to repay your support…"
Jiang Ning sent private messages to the five of them, temporarily not providing contact information, planning to repay the high tips with a dish.
Often, these large tips were debts of gratitude that needed to be repaid.
Even though they were the ones tipping, the amounts were too large, and Jiang Ning didn't want to be in their debt.
As for the Kyoto Tang Group, Jiang Ning hadn't figured out how to handle it yet.
They had been in contact before, and they even discussed signing a contract.
He believed they would contact him again.
"Mengmeng, Assistant Li, Miss Hong, dinner is ready!" Jiang Ning opened the kitchen door and called out loudly.
"Alright, Auntie Li, Auntie Hong, Uncle Jiang is calling us for dinner!" Mengmeng immediately stopped playing with Tiantian.
She always looked forward to the dishes Jiang Ning made.
Each dish was delicious, with various shapes and styles.
This made her, at such a young age, rely on and anticipate Jiang Ning's cooking, more than playing.
Mengmeng happily washed her hands and, along with Li Yao and Hong Yueyin, came to the dining table.
Tiantian also came over, tail wagging, to join the excitement.
"Uncle Jiang, what's this dish called?" Mengmeng asked, pointing at the Starry Sky Cups.
"Mengmeng, this is called 'Starry Sky Cups'. It's made with quail eggs, mushrooms, and a meat filling. We add a little chopped water chestnut to the meat filling to make it crispier. Then, we gently embed the quail eggs in the meat filling, just like stars in the night sky. Pretty, isn't it, Mengmeng?"
"Yes, it's pretty. And what's this dish called?" Mengmeng, acting like a curious child, pointed at the Gold Thread Jade Robe Rolls and asked.
"Mengmeng, this dish is called 'Gold Thread Jade Robe Rolls'. We spread out the tofu skin and evenly layer it with seasoned meat filling. The meat filling has chopped mushrooms, carrots, and green onions to make it more flavorful.
Then, we add a layer of blanched spinach on top of the meat filling for a better color.
After that, we tightly roll up the tofu skin like sushi and cut it into small pieces.
We steam them until they're cooked, and after taking them out of the steamer, we drizzle them with a sauce made of soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and a little starch. It's like they're wearing a gorgeous 'Gold Thread Jade Robe', Mengmeng."
Master Jiang patiently explained the dish, including its ingredients and the cooking process.
"Uncle Jiang, what is a 'Gold Thread Jade Robe'?" Mengmeng asked curiously.
This stumped Master Jiang.
"Mengmeng, a 'Gold Thread Jade Robe' is something ancient people made from very thin jade pieces, pieced together like a garment. It's a little golden in color, so it's called a 'Gold Thread Jade Robe'." At this moment, Li Yao saw Master Jiang's predicament and quickly helped to smooth things over.
"Aunt Li, why did the ancients use jade to piece together clothes?" Mengmeng blinked at Li Yao.
Li Yao was also at a loss.
"Mengmeng, because the emperors and nobles of the past wore such clothes to show that they were rich and powerful." Hong Yueyin smiled and helped Li Yao out of her predicament, but she didn't dare to say that they were worn after death. It was time to eat, and she didn't want to say those unpleasant words.
"Alright, Mengmeng, eat your food. You have to study hard in the future, otherwise you won't understand anything. Only by studying hard can you learn many interesting things." Master Jiang quickly changed the subject.
"Mm, Mengmeng will study very, very diligently." Mengmeng nodded her head heavily.
Li Yao and Hong Yueyin looked at the table full of food and swallowed, exchanging glances.
They waited for Jiang Ning to serve the rice before picking up their chopsticks and starting to eat.
"Mm, it's too, too delicious." Hong Yueyin had a quail egg in her mouth and couldn't help but praise it.
The quail egg was stuffed with meat filling and a little bit of water chestnut, giving it a crisp and refreshing texture when bitten.
"Really? Auntie Hong, Mengmeng wants some too, Mengmeng wants to eat." Mengmeng said eagerly.
"Woof woof"
At this moment, Tiantian, who was squatting on the ground and looking up, also couldn't help but bark twice, expressing its protest, as it hadn't gotten any yet.
Master Jiang, who was serving the rice on the side, watched them and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
Indeed, the greatest satisfaction for a chef was getting the diners' approval.
