Is Director Xu really like this? Does he often make homemade sauces at home?
I was wondering why Director Xu thought of oyster sauce when he saw oysters. It turns out he's used to cooking it at home.
[No, I can already imagine Director Xu fiddling with all sorts of sauces at home...]
Now I understand why Director Xu's food documentaries are so captivating and seem to be filled with genuine emotions, like they were firsthand experiences. It's because they might actually be Director Xu's own experiences!
When Xu Qi's hobby of making sauces became widely known among netizens, Song Tiantian and the others also returned to the cabin.
As soon as Xu Qi came back, he put on gloves and started to take out the oyster meat with a dagger.
"Click, click"
After a few crisp sounds, a piece of plump, white and tender oyster meat will be taken out of the oyster.
Place the oysters in a basin and clean them of impurities, then put them directly into the pot to cook.
During the cooking process, Xu Qi poured some water on top, just enough to cover the oyster meat. Then he cut some ginger slices and garlic, and poured in a little cooking wine, so that the oyster sauce would not have a fishy smell.
The thick, white and tender oyster meat will gradually shrink during the cooking process, and the soup will begin to turn milky white.
Continue to cook until the oyster meat has shrunk by about one-third of its original size, then filter out the cooked juice.
Many netizens looked at the filtered juice with confusion.
Is that all?
Isn't oyster sauce a shiny, dark black? Why is it milky white? And not sticky at all?
[Will Director Xu fail miserably?]
This is completely different from fuel consumption.
I was so excited that I immediately ordered 20 pounds of oysters, ready to try them out. Now, it seems I'll just cook them.
[What's the rush? Jiajia just mentioned that to make oyster sauce, besides boiling the oysters, you also need to mix soy sauce with starch water. It's only half done now, so why are you so anxious?]
[That’s right, Director Xu himself isn’t anxious, but you’re anxious for him.]
Xu Qi poured the filtered juice back into the pot and continued to cook it. During the cooking process, salt, sugar and dark soy sauce were used to color and season the dish.
Next, add a thin layer of starch water, and when the broth is almost cooked, slowly pour it in and stir until it becomes a glossy sauce color.
When netizens in the live broadcast room saw the oyster sauce being scooped out of the pot, they all said in a slapped face.
[Did you see that? Who just said Director Xu had a car accident?]
[Everyone told you not to rush, but look, this is just wasting fuel, what else could it be?]
[I was wrong. I didn't expect that oysters could actually be used to make oyster sauce.]
[It looks really good...]
My brain tells me I’m done with my studies. I’m going to order some oysters now.
[It looked really simple, so I placed an order.]
For a time, the demand for oysters in every city soared. Some netizens posted several live videos of making oysters online, which received over 10,000 hits and became an instant hit.
Netizens who suddenly got the code to wealth started to dig up the dishes that Lu Chuanbei and his friends had cooked during the live broadcast. Of course, even the coconut balls, fish bait, etc. made by Song Tiantian and his friends could not escape the fate of being exposed.
This is also called a major rollover scene, because the live broadcast always avoids Song Tiantian's production process, and the effects caused by different recipes are also different.
In addition, they had no mental support, so any netizens who tried to dig up Song Tiantian's video would fail.
Song Tiantian, who was not aware of the fact that she would be called a rollover basin by netizens, was still watching Xu Qi's cooking with great interest.
At this moment, the turtle that had hurriedly left in the afternoon arrived at an island ten nautical miles away...
Song Tiantian dipped some of the cooked oyster sauce in it and tasted it. The oyster sauce was delicate, fresh and salty, without any fishy smell, but full of the freshness of oysters.
"How is it?" Xu Anjia looked at Song Tiantian expectantly: "Does it taste better than the oyster sauce you buy?"
"Yeah," Song Tiantian nodded, "It tastes much better than what you buy outside."
"Really?" Xu Anjia immediately became proud: "I knew my dad's oyster sauce tasted the best."
Xu Qi looked at his daughter's smug little face and couldn't help but happily handed them both a coconut: "Now you know that my oyster sauce tastes good."
"Hehe, that's not right, we can't brag about our own family." Xu Anjia said modestly while holding a coconut: "Otherwise, if others hear us, they'll say we're too unreserved."
"Poof..." Xu Qi couldn't help but spit out the coconut juice in his mouth.
Xu Anjia quickly pulled Song Tiantian aside and glanced at Xu Qi with disdain: "Look at you, you're already grown up, and you're still spitting out juice even when drinking a coconut."
"Ahem, who did I scold you for?" Xu Qi was so angry at his own resentful daughter that he almost died.
"Hehe, it's not me anyway." After Xu Anjia finished speaking, he quickly pulled Song Tiantian into the house. His appearance of trying to cover up his own crime made Xu Qi feel both angry and amused.
The moon was high in the sky and the night was getting darker. A few people who had just returned from the sea watched the oyster sauce prepared by Xu Qi, then washed up and went back to their rooms to rest.
Accompanied by the croaking of frogs and chirping of cicadas, everyone in the cabin was immersed in a sweet dream and fell into a peaceful sleep.
At this moment, the frog sounds suddenly became low and silent, leaving only the sound of cicadas that never stopped chirping.
On the coastline not far away, groups of sea turtles with snake-like heads and tortoise shells on their bodies are swimming towards the deserted island.
In a short while, the entire beach was covered with turtles of all sizes, and their number was still spreading towards the island.
One of the turtles even crawled straight towards the cabin after returning to the deserted island, and soon nestled under the eaves where it had slept for the past few days.
The turtles crawling behind it gradually surrounded the entire wooden house.
Some impatient turtles even make snoring sounds, which are particularly harsh in the quiet night.
Upon hearing the sound, the turtle nestling under the eaves stood up instantly and looked in the direction of the sound with its pair of dark and shiny eyes.
At this sight, the turtles that originally wanted to move forward stopped one after another. Some of them retracted their necks and lay quietly on the ground with their eyes half closed, beginning to doze off.
When the big turtle saw that they had all settled down, it went back to its nest.
I don’t know if it’s because the island suddenly changed its owner, but the cicadas that were originally noisy suddenly became much quieter.
The system looked at Song Tiantian, who was sleeping soundly on the bed while her spirit body was still studying with the pharmacist mentor in the space. For a moment, it didn't know whether it should tell her that they were surrounded by turtles.
Song Tiantian finished her studies for the day and was about to go into the rest cabin in the space to have a good rest when she saw the light representing the system flashing continuously beside her.
This was the first time Song Tiantian saw the system like this, and she couldn't help but ask it, "007, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?"
Seeing the worry in Song Tiantian's eyes, the system's chip suddenly heated up for some reason. It hurriedly ran the code to self-check. After a few seconds, it confirmed that the system was not faulty. The system breathed a sigh of relief and said to Song Tiantian, "Tiantian, the turtle is back."
"The turtle is back?" Song Tiantian opened her eyes wide in surprise and immediately walked out of the space.
Before the system had time to tell Song Tiantian that the turtle not only came back by itself, but also brought a group of turtles to occupy the entire island, Song Tiantian had already opened her eyes and quickly climbed out of bed.
When Fang Nan heard the noise, he opened his eyes and saw Song Tiantian getting out of bed in a hurry and running towards the door.
Upon seeing this, Xiangfangnan also climbed down from the bed.
As soon as Song Tiantian left the room, she ran out of the wooden house.
The moment she opened the door, Song Tiantian stood at the door like a wooden chicken, not daring to move.
It wasn't until she heard Xiangfang Nan's footsteps from behind that she came to her senses and looked towards the person. When she saw Xiangfang Nan, she felt like she had seen a savior and shouted to him, "Nannan, come and see, we seem to be surrounded by sea turtles."
"What?" Xiangfangnan had just come out of the room and was stunned by Song Tiantian's words.
"Look." Song Tiantian opened the door, and the white moonlight fell into the yard, illuminating the rock-like figures.
In front of the stones of different sizes, there was a triangular head that looked like a snake but was not a snake. It stretched its neck and opened its bright black eyes, looking at the two people standing at the door.
Seeing that scene, Fang Nan, who usually looked like a little adult, couldn't help but gasp: "How can there be so many turtles?"
What is even more terrifying and shocking is that the backs and necks of these turtles are densely covered with barnacles of varying sizes, stacked and undulating.
The cold white moonlight shone on these dense barnacles, causing the netizens who had clicked in as soon as they saw the live broadcast room open to gasp and feel unwell.
[Oh my god, is this a scene from a horror movie? ]
My heart almost stopped in fear. Isn't this Tiantian's livestream? Why is there such a horrifying scene?
"Did I stumble into some horror livestream? Wait, these look like barnacles, don't they?"
[Not only barnacles, but also sea turtles. This entire area is surrounded by sea turtles...]
What's going on? Did Tiantian and the others change venues in the middle of the night?
[No, this is still the entrance to the cabin, just with a few more turtles.]
[Is that what you call it? From the livestream, every spot in this area where you can stand is occupied by turtles!]
So, can anyone explain what's going on?
