User 19298: I'm here, I'm here to support CP... Where's that city owner from before?
Boy B: Damn, what kind of magical day is today? Not only is there a three-hour livestream, but there's also extra time afterward, plus a midnight snack. I'm inexplicably touched.
[Gugujiji: Touched +1, late night party bonus = 33 = What delicious food are you going to eat later? ]
Lili: I'm still really interested in that city lord. Is he someone Mianmian knows? Is he her boyfriend? QAQ (No, this girlfriend doesn't want to believe it.)
Gu Yumian almost coughed when he saw this comment.
Many viewers mentioned Shuo Han, with all sorts of jokes and gossip. To prevent everyone's speculation from becoming disrespectful to Shuo Han, he said seriously:
"That's my friend, currently working at Utopia. Our chance encounter tonight was an accident, so please don't speculate too much. Thank you."
He reiterated: "Just friends."
The little snow leopard was yawning lazily, but the yawn got stuck at this moment.
It was quiet for a moment, and the next second it was so angry that its fur stood on end, and it pressed its claws on Gu Yumian's lips in frustration.
Just friends? That's not what he said when he pinched his paw pads.
"What's wrong with Tuantuan?" Gu Yumian, confused, held the little snow leopard's paw and kissed it. "Okay, okay, don't be angry, don't be angry."
It’s a pity that Little Snow Leopard doesn’t often go on Weibo, otherwise he would be able to accurately define Gu Yumian’s behavior.
They're affectionate behind the scenes, but claim to be just friends to others. When they're angry, they never ask why, but only offer sweet words to comfort them. There's also the lively and cheerful male confidant (Little Erha), the innocent and simple white moonlight (Little Tangyuan), and the delicate and shy vixen (Little Fox)...
This must be the legendary scumbag.
Although the little snow leopard couldn't define it, its depressed and angry mood was not much different. With a stern face, it ruffled Gu Yumian's hair with a series of meow punches and fell silent.
“…”
Fortunately, Gu Yumian's viewers have been watching the live broadcast for a long time and have developed a similar mild-mannered personality as Gu Yumian - this is also the reason why the atmosphere in the live broadcast room has always been very good. There are so many people, but it is rare to see quarrels.
After realizing that it would cause trouble to Gu Yumian, everyone was kind enough to stop pestering him.
Power Bank Number One: Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. I won't ask anymore, hehe. So what are you going to eat later, Mianmian?
[Stir-fried Rice Cake 321: Got it! So what are you going to eat later? ]
Thousands of comments were pouring out every second, and at this moment, there were thousands of comments asking "What are you going to eat later, Mian Mian?", which quickly overshadowed the previous topic.
——Tonight, Gu Yumian’s live broadcast was a huge hit.
The big explosion means that not only the live broadcast platform, but also the number of related content on WeChat Moments, short video websites, and Weibo has skyrocketed, and the term Weibo was once on the hot search.
Data records show that an hour ago, when Gu Yumian hurriedly ended the live broadcast, he had been at the top of the real-time popularity list on the homepage for more than two hours, and finally even jumped to the top of the popularity list of the day.
At this moment, although it was close to bedtime, the popularity was not much lower than before. Within a few minutes, the number of viewers soared to 70 million.
This is not difficult to understand.
After all, many viewers are looking forward to spending a wonderful evening with Gu Yumian and his family, and also want to put a gentle end to such a beautiful day with them.
Because it was night, the dragon flew very slowly this time.
Unlike the previous show-off flying style, the wings that covered the sky were just spread out flat, flapping occasionally, and gliding slowly and leisurely through the air towards the utopia with golden lights in the night.
The cool evening breeze and moonlight pass by your ears, and the perfect temperature and touch give you a quiet, comfortable and drowsy feeling unique to the night.
Gu Yumian held the sleepy little fox and little glutinous rice balls in his arms and whispered:
"Hmm... I'll steam some dumplings later. You don't need to eat too much," he thought for a moment, "then take a hot bath and sleep until you wake up naturally tomorrow. How about that?"
When going out to an amusement park or traveling, many people are in a hurry to catch up and try everything, so the schedule is often very tight, and they have to get up at six or seven o'clock, or even four or five o'clock.
But it’s not like that when I travel with Gu Yumian. It feels like a vacation wherever we go.
[audnjh: Xiaolongbao!! I don’t know what it is, but I know everything ending in “bao” is delicious, like the soup dumplings I had last time, hehehehe]
[Pink Puff: Even though there are no more CPs to ship, but...! I love this kind of life! Everyday life is great too.]
The baby panda was so sleepy that it blew a snot bubble and whined as it raised its four paws in agreement. The little fox was also sleepy, its ears drooping as it curled up into a ball in Gu Yumian's arms and dozed off.
The only one who still had some energy was the little husky. It sat on the dragon's tail excitedly, slid down like a slide, fell into the air, and was narrowly rescued by the dragon's tail.
Or jump to the side and let the dragon fly over to catch it.
There is a huge sky right next to us.
Gu Yumian: "..."
Although the dragon caught the attack steadily every time, Gu Yumian still felt like he was going to have a heart attack after watching it once or twice.
He brought the little Husky back by the scruff of its neck and earnestly told it to behave itself.
They flew in the air for a while, and the ground got closer and closer. Large areas of warm golden and red lights and the lakes on the earth surrounded them.
Finally, the dragon folded its wings, first skimmed the water with its claws, then slowed down little by little and landed on the water.
Utopia's hotels are randomly assigned; you can only choose the size based on the number of guests staying, but you can't choose the specific location. Gu Yumian booked a family suite, but he didn't know where he would stay in advance.
It is said that some people will live in the elves' cabins in the forest, some will live in the attic of the Utopia Night Market, and some will even live in underground caves and be neighbors with dwarves...
Utopia's fully immersive gaming experience has reached the extreme in every aspect, and every aspect gives people a great sense of anticipation.
Gu Yumian started to wonder from the beginning, where would they live?
At this moment, Gu Yumian was stunned when he saw the place where the dragon brought him.
The audience couldn't help but stare in amazement.
——The entire huge round moon lake, the shimmering lake surface reflects the moonlight and the lights of thousands of Utopia homes, and the only tree house is located in the center of the lake.
The tree house is divided into two floors, connected by a spiral staircase woven from vines.
The lower floor is made of wooden floorboards, which are supported by something unknown, and are suspended directly on the water surface. A small platform is extended, with small sofas and rattan chairs, where you can cook outdoors facing the lake.
The upper floor is the sleeping area, which is semi-open and covered with a soft and warm bed. You can enjoy the lake breeze and the moonlight and have a good dream.
The mermaid who had asked Gu Yumian for a sandwich before was now sitting next to the tree house, curling her tail and combing her long golden hair.
The wind created ripples, and the whole scene was so beautiful that it looked like an oil painting.
Little Tangyuan, lying in Gu Yumian's arms, suddenly woke up from his doze and whimpered in amazement. The little fox, still thinking he was dreaming, rubbed his face with his paws and exchanged a bewildered look with little Tangyuan.
The little Husky hugged the dragon's tail and started to howl at the beautiful mermaid while shaking his head!
As for the audience...
Vivian: Oh my god!
【Plum Wine: Oh my god?!】
A Happy Lemon Whale: Full Moon Lake seems to be a new map. It hasn't been open to the public before. People who come to take pictures are politely asked to leave, not to mention letting tourists stay for 555. Mianmian is indeed Mianmian.
Amusement parks are places where dreams come true.
Many people have, to some degree or another, fantasized about living in a secluded place, in a forest or lake, by the sea or in the mountains, with their own little cabin and kitchen, where they could spend their free time reading a book and falling asleep under the moonlight.
So... who can stand this now!
The number of viewers easily passed 80 million and continued to rise rapidly.
Inside the Full Moon Lake, the mermaid looked up and saw the giant dragon carrying Gu Yumian and the others. She smiled and blew a kiss to Gu Yumian. Gu Yumian was stunned for a moment and smiled back.
The dragon and the little snow leopard felt a pang in their hearts at the same time.
“…”
The giant dragon stopped beside the tree house. Gu Yumian went down first, then reached out and picked up the children one by one. The four fur balls were stacked one on top of the other and lay softly on the rattan chair.
The little snow leopard disdained to associate with the other three "idiots". Although he was still angry with Gu Yumian, he still grabbed Gu Yumian's sleeve and lay on his shoulder.
"I'll start making dumplings now," he said to the dragon and the mermaid. "Wait a moment. Do you have anything you don't want to eat?"
In this brighter light, I see that the mermaid is indeed the heroine of "Mermaids and Dragons". In the setting of the Utopia series, mermaids are a race that can only sing but not speak, and they are all incredibly beautiful.
The mermaid was surprised that there was food. She blinked and quickly shook her head to indicate that she would eat anything.
The tree house doesn't have a kitchen, but it's fully equipped with all kinds of cooking utensils, which have been changed to match the shape of the tree house - the alcohol stove looks like a pile of charcoal, and the dishes are all made of logs.
[Diligent Qiao Qiao: So, Mianmian, what are xiaolongbao? (-﹃-)]
Gu Yumian lit two lamps and began to prepare the ingredients facing the lake, explaining:
"Remember the soup dumplings we had before? Xiaolongbao is pretty much the same thing, but they're a little smaller...and the ingredients and materials are a little different."
After all, xiaolongbao and soup dumplings are from the same origin. They were brought to the south of the Yangtze River by the Northern Song Dynasty royal family after the Jingkang Rebellion, but their connection with the soup dumplings in the north has always been maintained.
Xiaolongbao is divided into xiaolongbao soup dumplings and ordinary xiaolongbao. Since soup dumplings are more suitable for eating in autumn and winter, Gu Yumian chose xiaolongbao soup dumplings.
"Depending on the season, different fillings are added to the dumplings. Let's make the dough and jelly first."
For example, shrimp in early summer, crab roe, crab meat and crab oil in autumn.
“The dough for making xiaolongbao doesn’t need to be fermented.”
Gu Yumian added a few spoonfuls of salt to all-purpose flour, then added water and stirred with chopsticks until it formed a flake-like consistency. He then began kneading the dough and letting it rest. After resting, he divided the dough into small pieces, kneading them while dipping them in water and folding them, until they were rolled into round shapes.
The dough is thick in the middle and thin around the edges.
Because it was a xiaolongbao, Gu Yumian deftly used her fingers to press wrinkles on the edge of the dough. The ruffles like the hem of a lotus leaf skirt were dotted around the small dough, making it look delicate and cute.
“Hmm.”
Little Tangyuan had transformed into a panda, slowly and curiously moving over, dragging the little fox with him. The little husky hung himself next to Gu Yumian, wagging his tail and poking the lake water with his paws.
The little snow leopard lay comfortably on Gu Yumian's shoulder, rubbed its little head against his ear, and yawned.
Gu Yumian couldn't help but curl his eyes.
He reached out and picked up the little Husky that was about to fall into the lake with its butt sticking up. The family huddled together by the lake for a midnight snack.
The dragon did not transform into a human, but let the mermaid sit sideways on his back and took her for a slow spin in the lake. The moonlight and the lake water created ripples.
The mermaid happily commanded the dragon to dive, speed up, and take off. The couple, who were already parents, were no different from young and naive lovers in their passionate love, except for the familiarity and tacit understanding.
"Love..." Gu Yumian couldn't help but sigh.
It is said that love is about two people growing up together. In fact, sometimes, two people can also become children together.
The little snow leopard glanced at him lazily, then stretched out its claws to cover Gu Yumian's eyes.
There is nothing to envy.
In the future he will be many times happier than they are.
At the same time, the barrage had already begun: "So Mianmian, do you want to have a love relationship with me?" "I can, I really can!" "Let's have a relationship, I have already thought of a name for our child"
It was almost bedtime, but the comments were very active.
There are nearly 90 million people, and the barrage of comments fills the entire screen, with thousands of comments refreshing every second.
“…”
The little snow leopard's face darkened, and Gu Yumian couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, the dough is ready, let's make the jelly and filling."
The main filling is meat, and due to seasonality, Gu Yumian also plans to add crab roe to the meat filling. The jelly is still made of synthetic pig skin and pork bones.
After blanching and washing, Gu Yumian directly chopped the synthetic pork into stuffing, added green onions, ginger, cooking wine and sesame oil, sprinkled a little sugar, and stirred it vigorously.
“This way the texture will be more tender and chewy.”
Throw the skin and large bones directly into the pot and add water to simmer.
The water in the pot quickly boiled. When the pork skin was slightly tender, Gu Yumian scooped it out and chopped it into small pieces.
The baby panda, the little fox, and the little Husky were completely attracted by Gu Yumian's actions. They were very well behaved and stood next to each other, heads leaning against each other, squeezing next to Gu Yumian and stretching their little heads to look into the pot.
After washing his hands, Gu Yumian rubbed their little heads, took out the crabs that had just been steamed in the cage, peeled them, took out the crab roe and crab meat, put them into the pot, added cooking wine and minced ginger, and stir-fried them over high heat.
"This is fried crab meat," Gu Yumian said, "You have to fry it until it changes color."
With the sizzling sound of hot oil, the crab meat is quickly fried until it is slightly oily and loose, with a beautiful color and an attractive aroma.
The big bones were simmering on the stove, and Gu Yumian threw some crab meat and scallops into it to enhance the flavor. At this time, the bone soup had been boiled to a very thick consistency, and it would not break even when scooped with a spoon.
In the center of the quiet lake, under a small lamp, a pot of milky white and thick bone soup is bubbling on the alcohol stove. The snow-white crab meat and scallops inside roll and pop out from time to time, exuding a fresh and fragrant aroma!
audience:"!!!!"
The baby panda, the little fox, and the little Husky looked left and right with envy, and swallowed their saliva at the same time.
The little snow leopard stretched out its claws to move the long spoon held by Gu Yumian, signaling him to hurry up.
The mermaid sat sideways on the dragon's back, smelled the fragrance coming from the wind, swooped down from mid-air and stopped in front of the tree house. The couple stared at Gu Yumian with their bright eyes.
Gu Yumian: "..."
"This soup is going to be made into a filling and then frozen," Gu Yumian couldn't help laughing. "Wait a moment, I'll wrap it up."
The audience's reaction in the barrage was no less than that of the babies, mermaids and the dragon couple who were watching on the scene.
[Lili Huabai: Mianmian's cooking skills never disappoint me. I'm already imagining how it will taste when I eat it. I'm drooling.]
[You say one, two, three: Wonderful! !!! It smells really good. Can't I drink this soup?]
[Little Money Fin: So you're not done yet? I thought we were ready to eat QAQ Hurry up, Mian Mian!]
Gift special effects exploded one after another, and the number of people directly jumped from 90 million to 100 million.
As it neared 11:00 PM, the platform's overall traffic was declining. Consequently, less than an hour after Gu Yumian's broadcast, it had already reached the top of the real-time popularity charts, just after the blackout period!
"Just roughly prepare the filling, and then you can make the dumplings."
There are lights on in the small tree house, which cannot be compared with the utopia not far away that is bustling and lively even at night, but there is a sense of tranquility and peace in it.
Under the dim light of the lamp, everyone was crowded in the small space, watching Gu Yumian make dumplings attentively.
Gu Yumian first added a few spoonfuls of soy sauce and cooking wine to the thick broth, mixing it with the minced meat. The meat was coated with golden-fried crab roe and a spoonful of boiled crab oil, all stirred together continuously. Once the thick broth solidified, it was crushed into a jelly filling.
He picked up the small round dough he had just rolled out, dipped it in water and held it in his hand. He stuffed the filling into it with chopsticks and then pinched folds with his fingers.
The dough itself has ruffles. Gu Yumian holds the dough with one hand and twists and pushes the pleats together with the other hand. He gently closes his palms and then separates them, forming a small and exquisite steamed dumpling.
"There's no need to pinch the top of the xiaolongbao tightly," said Gu Yumian.
The small, snow-white buns are neatly placed on the steamer, with symmetrical pleats and uniform density, like white chrysanthemums, but with a more tempting fragrance than flowers.
There are six in one basket. Because there are many people and they have to entertain guests, Gu Yumian made six baskets in total.
While waiting for the steaming, Gu Yumian took the time to make some shredded egg soup - when he was a child, his family liked xiaolongbao with shredded egg soup. It’s hard to say for sure, it’s just a habit that has accumulated into a love.
Beat the eggs and mix well, add the egg liquid to the hot pan with hot oil, gently shake the pan to spread it into a round golden omelet, then remove from the pan and cut into shreds, add water and green onions, ginger and garlic and simmer over low heat.
When the soup was boiling and blooming, Gu Yumian cracked another raw egg, propped it up with chopsticks, and let the egg liquid flow into the pot in a thin line along the small crack. It immediately curled up into a beautiful golden egg flower in the boiling soup pot!
The slightly thick egg soup contains beautiful golden egg flowers, dotted with green chopped green onions. The colors are not eye-catching but the combination is very beautiful. The steam rising from the soup spreads the fragrance.
Gu Yumian served several bowls of soup, one bowl each for the four cubs and the mermaid-dragon couple.
——The salty, fresh and warm egg drop soup is not overpowering in taste. You can taste the slippery egg drop, crispy egg shreds and tender green onions.
This is a simple, homely yet wonderful appetizer soup that thoroughly paves the way for the delicious food that follows and makes people look forward to it even more.
Far from the hustle and bustle of Utopia, the surface of the full-moon lake reflects the lights of the small treehouse, a cool autumn night. On this day, a bowl of shredded egg soup awaits, followed by a tray of delicious, thin-skinned, tender, and fragrant xiaolongbao.
It is an enjoyment that no one can refuse.
“Oh my!”
The baby panda cradled its belly and, after finishing its soup, lay limply in Gu Yumian's arms, sucking on its paws and watching the steamer. The little husky swayed around Gu Yumian, and the little fox clung to the soup bowl and chirped.
The little snow leopard squinted its eyes comfortably.
The mermaid and dragon couple sat under the eaves, their tails happily creating ripples on the lake.
From the very beginning, the popularity of the barrage has never diminished. With all kinds of gifts, praise for delicious food, and requests for dumplings, the number of people soared by several million in the blink of an eye.
After a while.
Several baskets of xiaolongbao were steamed and taken out of the basket under the anticipation of children, the mermaid and dragon couple, and hundreds of millions of viewers...
