Several children woke up from their naps all of a sudden.
Little Tangyuan looked at the pot, then at Gu Yumian, swallowing hard. The little fox and the little husky's stomachs growled. The little snow leopard's gaze lingered on the pot for more than ten seconds before hesitantly moving away and returning to its child's laptop.
The audience's reaction was even more surprising than that of a few children who had just woken up.
Chentunn: Ahhhhhh, it smells so good, what is this? Based on the names of the porridges Mianmian used to make, I'm guessing this is called Raw Chicken, Bamboo Shoots, and Yam Porridge?
[auhufc: ...The hypnotist is awesome, that name sounds plausible. Also, it smells really good and looks really tender. When can we eat it? What a surprise.]
[I won’t change my name unless I lose 90 pounds: Holy shit, when did the anchor start cooking this pot of porridge?]
[Mee mee mee: I'm so happy! What kind of porridge is this? I didn't expect to have porridge to drink as soon as I opened my eyes! 555]
"..." Gu Yumian was immediately amused and confused. "I was also on the live broadcast just now. Tuantuan and the others are sleeping. Is everyone else sleeping too?"
No wonder the data just now showed so many people but surprisingly few barrages. It turns out that all these viewers fell asleep?
Viewer: "I really fell asleep. I feel refreshed now." "I fell asleep +1. The host's arms are really suitable for sleeping." "I feel like my life has reached its peak. I played Utopia all morning, ate berry pie, sat in the boat and took a nap with Mimi in my arms. When I woke up, there was porridge to drink..."
No wonder the audience fell asleep.
The boat drifted gently downstream, leaving the shade of the World Tree and passing the dwarf village. The journey was slow, the water sluggish, the wind gentle. The autumn sun shone warmly, and the only sounds in my ears were the water, the wind, and Gu Yumian's breathing.
In addition, Gu Yumian's existence itself is enough to make people feel full of peace of mind and tranquility.
During the performance, Gu Yumian was forced to give food to a grumpy dwarf along the way. He gently prepared chicken breast and yam, and then cooked porridge... and no one woke up the whole time. It's not that everyone in the audience fell asleep, but they just entered a very relaxed and trance-like state, their eyes could see, but their minds were empty.
In fact, the biggest fear of this kind of long live broadcast is audience fatigue - after watching the live broadcast for several hours, fatigue is inevitable. Generally, after more than five hours, the total popularity will not increase after the new audience and the lost audience are basically offset.
But Gu Yumian’s live broadcast is not like this at all.
From the peak of passion to the calm relaxation, every second is very well-balanced, with emotions converging or rising.
For example, after a whole morning of exciting fun, you can take a comfortable nap and when you open your eyes, you will see the hot and delicious lunch you have been looking forward to... The audience even feels as if they are in the scene, refreshed, and all their fatigue is swept away.
The total running time is now over five hours, but the number of viewers is still climbing.
Not only did it remain at the top of the popularity list that day, but the gap between it and the second place was rapidly widening!
[Queque, who lost her dream: I saw porridge, and it seemed like I saw other delicious things too. Is there anything else besides porridge? Am I so happy today?!]
"I have places to go this afternoon and evening, so I should eat something full. I'll get hungry quickly just by eating porridge." Gu Yumian explained, smiling slightly. "I don't even know what this porridge is called."
He made this porridge based on the ingredients he had on hand. The dwarf had given him some young bamboo shoots, the elf had brought him some yams, and he had cut the synthetic chicken breast into thin slices, marinated it in cooking wine, and added it to the porridge pot along with the broth.
Gu Yumian scooped up the porridge with a long spoon and took a look. The delicious and tender chicken breast was already rolled up, and some light golden oil was boiled out. The snow-white yam was cooked until it was soft and sticky. The translucent and sticky porridge was delicate and soft, rolling in the pot. The tender bamboo shoots inside exuded a fresh fragrance...
The little husky leaned over the pot, taking a deep breath, his mouth drooling, and Gu Yu quickly hugged him. Little Tangyuan had already actively dug his own bowl out of his backpack, hugged it, and acted like a spoiled child.
The little snow leopard's gaze moved away and then back again.
Seeing that the little fox wanted to help but was too embarrassed to ask, Gu Yumian picked the little guy up and let it use its little paws to hold the long spoon to stir the porridge:
"The porridge isn't quite done yet—well, since I already had berry pie, I want something lighter for lunch. Besides the porridge, there are also spring rolls."
Spring pancakes are essentially thin pancakes made with flour, often rolled up with various vegetables and eaten together. They were popular in Chaozhou, Guangdong, and even in northern China. They're simple to make and incredibly delicious.
Spring pancakes later evolved into spring rolls, which are not only a folk snack, but also a pastry that can be eaten in formal occasions. The custom of "biting spring" exists in many places.
"'Bite of Spring' means... when spring returns to the earth, people eat spring pancakes on the day of the Beginning of Spring. One bite of a spring pancake or spring roll can give you a taste of the delicious flavors of the entire spring."
The round dough was the size of a Dutch nail. Gu Yumian evenly brushed oil on the dough while saying:
"But it's autumn now, can we have some autumn bites?"
The little Husky cooperated by making the sound of "woof woof woof".
During the time when the children and the audience were asleep, Gu Yumian not only cooked porridge, but also kneaded the dough for the spring pancakes, let it rise, firmed it up, and rolled it into small round pieces. After brushing it with oil, he overlapped the two pieces and started making the pancakes.
The snow-white and thin dough feels as thin as a cut moon.
The chicken porridge was bubbling on the stove, and the boat was moving slowly on the river. The flowing water reflected the blue sky and white clouds. We had not yet entered the main urban area, and a breeze was blowing from both banks.
The audience felt extremely comfortable. It was hard to imagine a better day than this. It was peaceful and every detail was memorable.
The audience has now reached 250 million.
"Let's start with pancakes. Oh, and what would you like to eat as side dishes? We usually eat tenderloin, fried chicken breast, scrambled eggs—and some vegetables."
[I came across the ocean to beg for food: I want them all, give me one!!!]
[Carrot Vine: I want them all +1]
Because they couldn't drink the porridge or eat the spring rolls for a long time, little Tangyuan and the little Husky started to act like a spoiled child. Little Tangyuan rolled around on Gu Yumian's lap like a spoiled child.
Gu Yumian had no choice but to put them both in his arms, turn on another alcohol stove to heat up the frying pan, add oil and fry the raw dough.
The raw dough sizzled in the hot pan, and soon bubbles would appear on the surface from time to time. Gu Yumian would then use the spatula to flip the dough over and fry the other side. Soon, both sides were a light golden brown, shiny and translucent, very beautiful.
The pancakes for spring rolls should be soft, chewy and thin so that you can see the vegetables through the pancake.
Several children watched intently.
The little ones looked serious and cute, and Gu Yumian rubbed their chins.
Gu Yumian took out the pancake and gently pushed it with chopsticks, and it naturally separated into two pancakes. He stacked all the pancakes together and covered them with damp, clean gauze to keep them warm and moisturized.
"Cover it with gauze and let it sit for a while. It won't be so irritating and will be more tender and delicious when you eat it."
"...Are you hungry? I'll speed up."
The porridge was almost done by then, so Gu Yumian turned the heat down to keep it warm, and then started making the dishes to be sandwiched between the spring rolls.
First, thinly slide the beaten egg yolks into the pan and spread them into a golden omelet. Then, cut the smoked pork into thin strips and pan-fry them. Then, cut the chicken breast into thin strips and pan-fry them until golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The vegetables include bean sprouts, shredded cucumber, and chopped green onions.
Gu Yumian placed his chopsticks on the spring roll, evenly placed smoked meat and fried chicken breast in the golden, crispy, thin and flexible spring roll, then topped it with vegetables and finally poured a layer of soy sauce and butter on it.
Gu Yumian rolled up one side of the spring roll with his chopsticks, gently closing his palm to pinch the bottom, then rolled up the other side, finally lifting his wrist to remove the chopsticks. The young man's fingers were white and slender, with a hint of pink on his nails. Coupled with such a delicious spring roll, the whole scene was simply impossible to look away from.
All kinds of aromas penetrated my nose, the aroma of smoked meat and fried chicken breast, the fresh and delicious taste of cucumber and bean sprouts, and the smell of fried eggs.
So many flavors are combined in a small spring pancake. Through the soft and thin crust, you can peek inside, filled with light golden eggs, emerald cucumber shreds, and red-sweet smoked meat. The color, aroma and taste are all mouth-watering!
The audience and children stared with their eyes wide open.
The little snow leopard stared at Gu Yumian's fingers, then pressed its claws directly on Gu Yumian's wrist, bit off the first spring pancake domineeringly, and squinted its eyes with satisfaction.
Gu Yumian: "..."
Little Tangyuan and the little Husky tried to steal some food but failed, and almost bit the plate and knocked out their teeth. Only the little fox was still watching the porridge fire diligently.
The audience couldn't wait any longer, and barrages of comments burst out one after another!
I've worn Pinru's clothes: Ahh ...
[Lazy Snow: My pupils are vibrating!! How did this spring roll manage to be so delicious and so beautiful that it's almost too good to eat?! PS: I suddenly realized the host's hands are so pretty...]
[Dog Man Woof Woof: Mianmian's hand, damn, together with Chunbing, give me 10,000 points of critical hits. I pressed the send gift button until my hand cramped.]
[Xianyu Yitiao: Porridge, spring pancakes, sleep, sleep, my saliva has flowed all over the table without me noticing QAQ]
Gift special effects exploded one after another, and the special effects of the lottery across the entire platform appeared several times.
The total population has exceeded 260 million, and the growth rate is still astonishing!
"I've served the porridge. Let's drink some to warm our stomachs first, and then eat the spring rolls."
Gu Yumian took a small bowl and filled each of the children with chicken congee. The children already knew how to drink the congee, blowing on it first and then drinking directly from the bowl or scooping it up with a porcelain spoon held in their paws.
A moment later.
The little husky sipped his porridge, savoured it for a few seconds with a silly grin, and then took another sip. The baby panda snorted with a milky, comfortable sound and fell back into Gu Yumian's arms.
The little fox held the bowl, his whole body soft as he sat there, and couldn't help smacking his lips while drinking porridge.
...It’s really delicious.
——The porridge rice is cooked until it is sticky and delicate, the raw chicken slices are boiled to produce fragrant oil, mixed with bamboo shoots and yam, and the delicious flavor is cooked into this fragrant and soft porridge.
What is even more surprising is the raw boiled chicken slices and yam and bamboo shoots in the porridge. The yam is soft and glutinous with a sweet and crisp taste, and the bamboo shoots are refreshing and fresh. They do not lose their flavor even after being cooked in porridge. The tender and chewy chicken breast is the finishing touch.
It is delicious and extremely appetizing. After taking a sip, my whole body feels warm and I feel so comfortable that I want to sigh out loud.
The audience savored the porridge carefully. For a few seconds, no one had time to speak. Only the current total number of viewers in the upper right corner was rapidly updating...
The little snow leopard placed one paw on Gu Yumian's palm, drank half a bowl of porridge from Gu Yumian's hand, licked the corner of his lips contentedly, and then lowered his head to take a bite of a spring roll without permission.
Gu Yumian was helpless, but he couldn't stop it. He looked at the children's bowls of porridge and drank half of them. He rolled up his sleeves and picked up a spring roll for the little husky, the little glutinous rice ball, and the little fox.
"And spring rolls, don't choke."
The little fox lowered its head and carefully took a bite of the spring roll that Gu Yumian had brought - the size was just right, just the right size to be bitten in one bite.
After a while, the little guy sat there blankly, hugging his big fluffy tail and chirping twice, so happy that he almost thought he was dreaming.
The thin and flexible dough is baked to a firm, chewy texture. When you take a bite, the butter and soy sauce, along with the various delicious fillings, immediately flow out.
The rich aroma of smoked bacon, the crispy and tender pan-fried chicken breast, the soft and smooth half-cooked scrambled eggs sandwiched between them, mixed with refreshing cucumber shreds and stir-fried bean sprouts...
It is worthy of the saying that spring pancakes can give you the taste of the whole spring with just one bite.
This spring roll is so delicious that even the little snow leopard can finish one in two or three bites and then condescend to find a second one.
The little Husky also wolfed down the food, licking his nose to savor the taste. He took a bite of the glutinous rice ball and burped.
The boat moved slowly on the river, the azure blue covered the entire sky, and the wind blew gently.
At this moment, the audience was finally able to slowly recover from the shock of the delicious food, and waves of heat began to rise on the screen, one higher than the other, and finally completely swept the entire live broadcast room!
User 118738: !!!!!!!!!
[Ruanmianmian: I just ate so much that I fainted?! I completely lost consciousness QAQ]
[Milk tea without the milk cap: This porridge is so fragrant and smooth! ! ! ! And that layer of oil, not greasy at all. The yam and bamboo shoots are amazing. I couldn't help licking my paws after drinking it...]
Vivian: I was amazed when I ate it. How did this spring roll get so tender? It's so tender and fragrant, and the outer layer of the dough is so delicious!
Iceberg: Nothing much to say, just fireworks for the host. I love both the porridge and the spring rolls.
Tens of thousands of comments burst out at the same time, and the atmosphere was lively and extremely enthusiastic.
The number has exceeded 270 million and is rapidly approaching 300 million!
Judging from the situation, if nothing unexpected happens today, it will most likely break the real-time popularity record of the Starry Sky platform so far.
At the same time, the final night of the rookie competition is only halfway through.
Gu Yumian's live broadcast room was far ahead of the others. He single-handedly led the entire competition area to trigger several platform-wide pushes and lotteries, and the success was like a snowball.
The boat slowly drifted into the main city area, and the surrounding area gradually became bustling with people - but it did not seem noisy.
The Utopia city area in the afternoon is not as colorful and bustling as it is at night, but seems a little quieter.
The clear river water that runs through the entire main urban area reflected the bright sky. They took a small boat, passing by the witch's tower, the wooden house where the orcs lived, and the drinking pavilion. The apprentice little witch squatted by the river, placing stones and greeting passers-by.
At the floating market, small boats were loaded with fresh vegetables and berries, as well as old books and antiques. The stall owners had gone back to sleep, so everyone was free to take whatever they wanted. Their StarNet account numbers were written next to them, so they could transfer as much or as little as they wanted.
The Utopia urban area in late summer and early autumn is a great place to take a nap.
Just now during lunch, Gu Yumian was not paying attention and found that little Tangyuan and the little Husky had eaten too much and were burping one after another.
Gu Yumian helplessly held them on his back and fed them some fruit tea to promote digestion. The little foxes' eyelids were already drooping, and soon they tilted their heads and fell asleep on Gu Yumian's knees.
Whenever the little snow leopard has some free time, it turns on its children's light brain and watches with contentment and happiness. It also takes a few glances at Gu Yumian when Gu Yumian isn't paying attention, then wags its tail and looks at the screen with satisfaction.
He just turned his head to talk to the little witch by the river, and when he turned around, he bumped into the little snow leopard, who didn't have time to look away.
The tip of the little snow leopard's tail paused, and then it frowned a little awkwardly, turned away its eyes as if nothing had happened, and pressed its paw on the light screen.
Gu Yumian: "..."
He felt a little uncomfortable. Was this kid in a premature relationship? Online? With which girl?
Maybe it's a little girl I know at school.
"What is Tuan Tuan writing? Can you show me?"
Gu Yumian picked up the little guy by the ribs.
The little snow leopard pushed his cheek away with its claws, hugged its light brain, and carefully put away the light screen.
[Shengshengbuxi: Tuantuan is definitely in a premature relationship. My younger sister in elementary school is the same...dating without telling her parents, keeping a diary, and creating those couple profiles and avatars? Kids these days are so adventurous.]
【ausjhx: It’s great to be young. 】
Lili: I used to be like that too. During the school sports meet, I even secretly had someone take a photo of me and that boy on a laptop. I'd print it out and put it on the wall, reminiscing about it many times every day.
The little snow leopard's eyes glanced at the words "secretly took a photo together and brought it back to reminisce", and immediately: "..."
"Tuan Tuan, it's okay to fall in love too early," Gu Yumian squeezed the little snow leopard's paw, his expression a little conflicted. "I've been through this before, and I'm not a very conservative parent."
But isn't it a little too early?
The little snow leopard pricked up its ears.
Someone who has been through this?
It immediately felt jealous and a sour smell spread. Has Gu Yumian ever had a premature love affair with anyone?
"The success rate of premature love is very low. If you can't be together in the end, don't be too sad." Gu Yumian said.
Little Tangyuan touched his belly, raised his paws and whimpered twice to express his agreement.
Little Snow Leopard: “…”
So this is what Gu Yumian wanted to say. The little snow leopard slowly sat back down and yawned nonchalantly.
This is not something that needs to be considered or worried about. No one can take Gu Yumian away from it.
We couldn't be together? There was no such possibility.
"Well, where should we go next?" Gu Yumian flipped open the map. "There are some places to visit in the city-state, but we still need to take a nap. There's also a night market and a bonfire party tonight. Do you want to go to the Elf Forest?"
The little Husky shook his head and barked, and the sleeping little fox began to snore lightly.
Nearly 300 million viewers immediately scrolled through the comments for a long time - a dream-like day like this, no matter how long it was, would never be too long.
"……round and round?"
The little snow leopard stared at Gu Yumian in a trance for a while, the tips of its ears turned suspiciously red, and it turned away its eyes.
It was only later that Gu Yumian discovered that Shuo Han had been writing a diary a long time ago.
The first diary entry was written on the day they went to Utopia, and was accompanied by a photo.
Gu Yumian himself didn't remember taking this photo at all. After thinking about it carefully, it should be the illusion of the World Tree - he also had a confused look on his face in the photo, and Shuo Han stretched out his hand and interlocked his fingers.
In the photo, the usually handsome and lazy man has an expression that shows he is trying hard to hide his happiness. He looks at the camera impatiently and unskillfully, appearing a little nervous.
He must have hesitated whether to smile at the last moment before the shutter sounded, so he couldn't help but lower his eyes to look at Gu Yumian.
The hazy light from the sky shines down gently.
In the gray-blue eyes, the heartbeat and the love that could not be contained at that moment were captured by the camera.
Shuo Han hates having his photo taken, hates all media, and hates leaving any image of himself, but he is willing to appear in Gu Yumian's live broadcast. He even secretly took a photo with Gu Yumian and took it home to look at it for a long time.
I wrote and deleted the diary for the first day, leaving only two sentences.
"It was my first time going to the amusement park with him and taking our first photo together. I was very happy."
"I like him."
