[Huh? This is actually a food-themed streamer?]

[Did they buy the push notifications? What's going on with Douyin? What kind of garbage is pushing my feed? ???]

[Don't say that, the last time the streamer made it was pretty good.]

This statement, which clearly sided with Ling Miao, was met with a barrage of criticism from the viewers in the live stream.

With such low traffic, they still have paid trolls???

Ding Yi'en angrily typed these words, looking at the live stream page. "A perfectly good girl could be a streamer in the beauty section, but she insists on coming to the food section to attract attention!"

He shared the same thoughts, and the heated discussions in the live stream attracted a large number of onlookers, resulting in a surge in traffic.

Ling Miao watched the noisy scene on the screen without saying a word. Most of the comments criticized her for trying to attract attention, with only a handful of people speaking up for her.

Most of them were either observing from the shadows or uninformed passersby.

Xiong Yichen and his sister Xiong Yixi were among those secretly observing from inside the live stream room.

"Brother, will this really work?"

Xiong Yixi nestled on the sofa, watching her brother's semi-transparent livestream panel, where the host was introducing the ingredients in front of him one by one.

The most eye-catching thing is the bamboo shoots placed in the center!

Bear's favorite!

I never imagined that after so many years, people in the StarCraft world would start trying bamboo shoots!

You have great taste.jpg

Regardless of what others in the live stream were saying, Xiong Yichen and his sister decided to stay in the live stream and not leave.

Ling Miao was unaware of what the people in the live stream were thinking.

She picked up the cleaver and skillfully sliced ​​the bamboo shoots diagonally. Then she processed the other ingredients she had purchased from the system, trimming the roots off the seafood mushrooms.

The plump, white seafood mushrooms were uniformly thick from top to bottom, emitting the faint aroma unique to fungi. Ling Miao swung her cleaver and chopped them in one stroke.

As the knife blade landed on the cutting board, the pent-up frustration in my heart seemed to dissipate a little.

Forget it, it's not like we just found out the system is stingy!

Apart from fresh bamboo shoots and some ingredients and seasonings that you already have,

The remaining ingredients and seasonings were purchased from the system store. Thinking of her wallet, which had shrunk by more than half, Ling Miao gritted her teeth and slashed at the tofu again.

Fortunately, it reduced its force during landing, otherwise this whole piece of white jade tofu would have been reduced to pieces.

After calming myself down, I continued preparing the other ingredients, marinating the river shrimp with scallions and ginger to remove any fishy smell. The water in the pot was almost boiling.

Ling Miao had no time to pay attention to anything else. She put the prepared bamboo shoots into the boiling water to blanch them. Her hands kept moving while she explained, "This step is to remove the astringent taste from the bamboo shoots."

Bamboo shoots are extremely high in fiber, and correspondingly, oil is also essential during cooking; otherwise, they will have a very astringent taste, greatly diminishing their flavor and texture.

Spring bamboo shoot and three delicacies soup, just from the name, you know that it is not a dish with a lot of oil. Its flavor is fresh and mellow, which restores the original flavor of the ingredients.

Ling Miao kept her head down and didn't see that the comments section had already exploded.

That's a crustacean, isn't it?

That's right, it's shrimp!

[This streamer actually ate shrimp, and river shrimp that nobody in the entire galaxy eats???]

[In all my years, this is the first time I've ever seen someone eat such a tiny, barely-there, and fishy-smelling thing?!]

So, is it because lobsters don't taste good?

[Large Lobster: Listen to me, thank you. Don't compare me to this thing.]

River shrimp and lobsters both belong to the crustacean class, but compared to its famous relative, the river shrimp has almost no audience in interstellar space.

Even fish—those equally smelly and slimy creatures—still have a small population, but what about river shrimp?

It's so small, it's not even enough to fill your teeth. In the same amount of time, it's more worthwhile to catch a fish.

The comments on the screen were noisy and chaotic. Xiong Yichen and his sister exchanged a glance, both seeing utter shock in each other's eyes.

We're not going to steam buns, we're just trying to prove ourselves. We've sacrificed so much for you, Sun Sun!

Bear crying.jpg

Ling Miao didn't have time to check the comments. She took the blanched bamboo shoots out of the water and placed them on a plate. In a separate pan, she heated oil and sautéed minced ginger and garlic until fragrant.

The oil in the pot sizzled, releasing a strange, unfamiliar odor that assaulted people's nostrils. In an instant, someone took a deep breath.

What does this taste like?

[It smells kind of... strangely nice?]

Ding Yi'en sneezed several times in a row. He rubbed his nose, his fingers moving slowly, somewhat puzzled by his own actions.

It's so pungent! But why am I still a little reluctant to leave?

Bamboo shoots and seafood mushrooms were put into the pot together, and the rich aroma of the wok gradually wafted out as they were stir-fried, slowly drifting into the front hall through the half-closed kitchen door.

Kerry, who was sitting in his seat, was the first to smell the pleasant aroma.

He sniffed around and then looked into the kitchen.

It seems like the smell is coming from there.

"It smells so good, can you smell it?"

Alice and Avril exchanged a glance, their bright blue eyes shining. "It smells amazing!"

Ellis nodded in agreement, a faint sound coming from her abdomen. Smelling the light and lingering fragrance, she became somewhat impatient.

"laugh"

"We still don't know if it's true or not—"

Klira drew out his words, as if remembering something, and his expression turned grim.

Avril turned her head and pouted at Alice.

The other person didn't speak, but simply raised a finger to their lips.

I know!
