Director Liu was stunned and hadn't reacted yet. He looked up and met the assistant director's chubby, kind face.
The other person saw his gaze and grinned, revealing his round, chubby face. When he smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits, making him look exactly like the Buddha depicted in ancient paintings.
Before he could say anything, the other person spoke first, "Thank you, director."
As he spoke, he grabbed the shrimp meat and stuffed it straight into his mouth.
The shrimp meat, without any dipping sauce, exudes its own natural sweetness, firm yet bouncy.
It has the most original shrimp meat texture.
Before Director Liu could react, he quickly picked up another shrimp, pinched its head as before, and gently pulled, peeling off a whole shrimp shell.
Immediately afterwards, he placed the shrimp meat into the dipping sauce bowl in front of Director Liu without any hesitation, in one smooth motion, and then put it into his mouth. The movements were natural and fluid, without any hesitation.
The slightly astringent and sour aroma of the green tangerine begins to permeate the air, and the subtle sourness with a hint of spiciness quickly spreads, maximizing the sweetness of the shrimp meat. It is a completely different taste and flavor from the pure shrimp meat mentioned earlier.
The assistant director's eyes lit up. Before Director Liu's eyes could widen, he saw his lips moving, as if he was about to say something. The assistant director spoke first.
"Everyone, come and try the shrimp that the director prepared for us, it's delicious!"
As soon as the assistant director spoke, an impatient employee stepped forward, picked up a shrimp, started peeling it, and unceremoniously put it into the director's bowl, stirred it a couple of times, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Once the first one was chosen, a second one naturally followed, and everyone stepped forward.
Director Liu only saw hands reaching out in front of him, and in the blink of an eye, most of the large plate of prawns in front of him was gone.
His sluggish mind began to work, and he subconsciously glanced at the smiling assistant director standing to the side. The assistant director noticed his gaze and even reached out to pat him on the shoulder.
"You're a really good director, you even gave us extra food."
Add a load of crap.
Director Liu almost cursed out loud, but seeing the staff in front of him eating with great relish and wearing happy smiles on their faces, he couldn't say anything to refute them and could only grit his teeth and swallow the pot.
He also doesn't consider himself a stingy boss.
Why does it seem like we've mistreated them? What aspect of their salary, benefits, and compensation have we neglected?
I feel like I'm a stingy wretch.
He couldn't help but doubt himself for a moment, but quickly put those thoughts aside and joined the shrimp-grabbing frenzy.
In the end, they successfully saved three shrimp and even couldn't help but feel a little smug.
Looking at the group of people standing around him, their faces filled with regret and longing, he couldn't help but proudly raise his chin.
As soon as he raised his chin, he realized his thoughts, and Director Liu's expression froze, even the way he was holding the shrimp in his hand paused for a moment.
These are his shrimp, aren't they? It's his right to eat his own food, what's there to be proud of?!
Director Liu couldn't help but doubt himself.
While he was heartbroken, he quickly stuffed the shrimp into his mouth. There was not much dipping sauce left in the bowl, so he even picked up the dipping sauce and poured it directly into his mouth.
"It's gone—"
He showed everyone the empty plate in front of him, a subtle hint of smugness on his face.
The surrounding staff looked at each other, then applauded enthusiastically.
"The director is amazing."
What was originally just a subtle sense of pride has now reached seven points with the addition of three parts flattery.
Director Liu became increasingly pleased.
On the live stream screen in front of us, Ling Miao's coconut chicken has reached its final stage.
A sweet fragrance wafted from the live stream in front of me.
Everyone's attention began to shift, their eyes falling expectantly on the live stream in front of them.
Lifting the lid, steaming white mist rose from the pot, covering people's heads and faces.
The warm breath touched my face, making it feel slightly damp, and I could feel all my pores opening up.
A subtle sweetness began to permeate the entire live stream room, even immersing the viewers through the screen.
As the fog dissipated a bit, the coconut chicken appeared before everyone.
The broth is clear with a slight white tinge, and the chicken floating inside is its original color, completely untouched by any seasoning.
A few bright red goji berries floated on the surface of the soup.
The originally shriveled goji berries were soaked until they became round and plump, and the snow-white coconut meat, cut into strips, was also soaked until it expanded to more than twice its original size.
You can even see a few chunks of water chestnuts inside.
[Wow, the coconut chicken looks so good! It looks light and delicious!]
This is the first time I've seen such bland meat. Won't it be fishy?
[How could that be? You have to have faith in the streamer's cooking skills. I couldn't smell anything at all.]
[But this time the streamer didn't blanch the fish to remove the fishy smell.]
[But the streamer soaked it for a long time to remove all the blood.]
[Oh my god, am I the only one paying attention to the taste of this soup? This soup must be delicious!]
[I can't take it anymore, streamer, have a bite!]
[I'll go first, because I have a big mouth!!]
[Hurry up and have a bite!!]
I want to eat it too!!
While watching the lively live stream, Cedrian's gaze fell on Ling Miao.
Unlike others, his gaze always landed precisely on Ling Miao, who was live-streaming, immediately and without fail.
He has already booked his starship ticket to Tianhai Star, and he will arrive at Tianhai Star this afternoon.
Cedrian was unusually anxious, and a hint of helplessness showed in his expression.
Would the other person want to see him? How would they react if they did see him?
How should he express himself? How should he talk to the other person?
His mind was filled with too many thoughts, and he hadn't even figured out what to say when he saw the other person.
These thoughts briefly confused his mind, leaving him dazed. When he came to his senses, a tender piece of chicken had already been stuffed into his mouth.
The chicken was incredibly tender and smooth, but surprisingly, it wasn't dry or fishy at all. It even had a subtle coconut aroma and a hint of sweetness.
This is thanks to his exceptional palate, which allows him to accurately capture the pure, natural flavor hidden within that hint of coconut.
Then the other person took a small sip of the soup.
The coconut chicken soup, now cooled to a slightly hot temperature, carries a natural coconut aroma and a subtle sweetness as it slowly slides down the throat.
It's refreshing and non-greasy, which effectively relieves the feeling of heat.
The temperature on Tianhai Star remains in the twenties year-round. Although the sunlight is warm but not scorching, it can still feel hot if you engage in even a little bit of activity.
This bowl of coconut chicken soup soothed the slight irritation in my heart.
Like pouring in a glass of cool, natural coconut juice, it evokes the feeling of a seaside vacation while also providing the warmth of a summer sun bath.
