Chapter Twenty-One: Tofu



The next morning, Ling Miao woke up very early because she was thinking about the food she would make for breakfast.

After washing up, I opened the door and went to the kitchen to check on the soybeans that I had soaked yesterday.

The soaked soybeans have a rounded appearance, and the originally shriveled beans have become plump and moist.

Susan walked into the kitchen and saw Ling Miao inspecting the soybeans soaking in water.

Hearing the noise at the door, Ling Miao turned around and saw Susan walk in.

"You've arrived."

"Is there anything to do today?"

Ling Miao stood up. "We need to add water and blend it into juice."

She pointed to the soaked soybeans in the bucket.

There happened to be a food processor in the corner of the kitchen after the system was renovated. Ling Miao moved it over, cleaned it, and prepared to use it.

She started her live stream, and after a day of waiting, the number of viewers was much higher than the first morning, not to mention that many curious passersby had tuned in.

As usual, Ling Miao said a few simple words and then began preparing the food for the day.

[Won't the host tell us what delicious food we made today?]

I'm so curious, what delicious dishes can I make with soybeans?

Are you making tofu?

It's hard to say for sure, but I don't really like tofu; it has a beany taste. I wonder how people in ancient times managed to eat it.

I had some tofu made by a streamer once before, and it was so delicious that I felt like I was falling in love with tofu. But when I bought some myself, my hands were like: I don't know how to make it QAQ.

Are you referring to that three-delicacy soup from before?

Yes, yes, that's it! It's so delicious with tofu in it!

The viewers in the live stream pieced together the food they had seen, making the mouths of newcomers drool.

Is tofu really that delicious?

[The people upstairs are lying! I bought tofu from them once before, and it was awful!]

【Of course what you make doesn't taste good; what our streamers make is true gourmet food!】

An argument broke out in the originally calm live stream. Ling Miao was busy preparing the ingredients around her, completely unaware of the debate in the chat.

"I'd like to see what delicious food you can make!"

Sheng Wenzhou looked at the scrolling comments in front of him, almost every one of which refuted what he had said.

He was furious. He had only clicked in casually to take a look, but now he was determined to mess with this live stream.

【Then I'd love to see what kind of delicious food this streamer can make!】

This slightly sarcastic comment immediately attracted the attention of most viewers in the live stream.

Ling Miao happened to look up, and this comment came right into her view.

She raised an eyebrow, but instead of getting angry as everyone had guessed, she turned to introduce the food she was going to make that day.

"Today we're mainly making tofu pudding."

The viewers in the live stream quickly picked up on the key words in her conversation and started asking questions.

So, will there be any other delicious foods?

Wow, the person upstairs, you're so perceptive!

Ling Miao raised her eyebrows in surprise, then nodded without keeping him in suspense.

This direct nod made the longtime fans in the live stream feel a little uncomfortable.

However, before they could even think about it, new questions arose.

What's the connection between tofu pudding and tofu?

I know! They must be related by name.

A series of ellipses followed, and the amusing remarks made everyone laugh out loud; even Ling Miao couldn't help but smile.

"It's probably about the same."

Ling Miao nodded and pressed the button to start grinding the beans. "However, tofu is used as a cooking ingredient, while tofu pudding can be eaten directly."

"Many people are used to having tofu pudding for breakfast, which can be considered a type of breakfast food."

While listening to her commentary, viewers in the live stream also glanced at the machine next to the host.

[What's that machine you have next to you, host?]

This machine looks so familiar.

But the model number and appearance look so outdated, what kind of machine is this?

"It's a food processor."

[Oh, so that's what it is. No wonder it looked so familiar.]

This design has been obsolete for years; it's inefficient and consumes a lot of energy.

[Yeah, why doesn't the streamer get a newer model?]

[Speaking of which, I've been following this streamer's livestreams, and the kitchen utensils they use always seem to be the most primitive and outdated.]

Ling Miao felt a pang of sadness upon seeing this comment.

Forget the latest models, she can't even afford kitchenware that's outdated from a few years ago.

This food processor was installed after the system was upgraded in the kitchen and dining room; it was all the cheapest available.

Thinking back to the latest kitchenware I'd browsed online, and seeing that string of zeros at the end, Ling Miao couldn't help but clutch her heart.

That's way too expensive! It's highway robbery!

Ling Miao, who suffered a heart attack, chose to isolate herself and silently packed the supplies she would need later.

Sheng Wenzhou watched as the anchor remained silent, preoccupied with his own actions, and let out a disdainful snort.

Suddenly, there was a noise at the door. A tall man opened the door and walked in. He had a pair of flat-framed glasses on his fair and refined face. He looked handsome and elegant.

"elder brother"

Sheng Qinian nodded, looked at the live stream in front of his younger brother, frowned slightly, and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He didn't speak, but Sheng Wenzhou couldn't wait to say, "Brother, look what I found today!"

He moved the screen in front of him to face his brother.

"This streamer is shameless, saying that he can make delicious food from soybeans."

Sheng Wenzhou's eyes were filled with disdain. "In my opinion, that tofu wasn't very tasty either, and that so-called tofu pudding probably wasn't either!"
