Gu Yumian ordered fresh raw materials on Star Online and they were delivered ten minutes later.
Although the raw meat was artificially synthesized, it perfectly simulated the various states of real raw meat. Especially since Gu Yumian bought high-grade synthetic raw lamb, along with some essential vitamins and supplementary food, it cost him over a hundred star coins.
After two days of watching the livestream, Gu Yumian had a general understanding of many interstellar common sense. Animals today had evolved significantly compared to the past, and their diets had long since moved beyond the days of raw meat and blood. They now consumed cooked food, much like humans once did, and their taste and health requirements had also improved.
But they are not human after all, and simply copying human recipes and cooking methods actually has many disadvantages.
Gu Yumian had initially worried that the interstellar age would see significant changes in the physiological structure of animals, rendering his previous experience and knowledge ineffective. He then consulted the literature and was finally reassured—aside from the awakening of mental powers and the strengthening of physiques, the physiological structure of animals had not undergone any major changes.
He cleaned the raw mutton and cooked the carrots in water over low heat. A micro camera floated in mid-air, recording everything in real time.
Just then, a ding-dong sounded, signaling that a viewer had finally entered the livestream. A '2' appeared in the upper right corner of Gu Yumian's sight, indicating that two people were now watching the livestream. The number continued to climb, finally stopping at '6'.
Five minutes later, the first comment in the live broadcast room slowly floated by:
[South China Tigers Never Go on Blind Dates: I came in just to see, is this guy on the cover real?! How can he be so good-looking?!]
Another person quickly responded:
[Little Fish: +1]
As a new streamer, Gu Yumian had no popularity and no recommended slots. Normally, viewers wouldn't have any way to find him. While it couldn't compare to someone else's 40,000 viewers, having viewers right from the start was already considered quite good for a newcomer.
Gu Yumian had been interviewed by a TV station before, so he wasn't too nervous when facing the camera. He smiled at the camera and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Gu Yumian. Please take care of me in the future."
"Today I'm making a simple dinner for the little one at home. The main ingredient is lamb strips. The method is very simple. Cat-loving viewers can try making it for the children at home."
After a brief self-introduction, Gu Yumian continued to prepare the ingredients. He spoke very little and did not ask for attention or gifts like other anchors.
[South China tigers never go on blind dates: The host has dimples when she smiles, awsl.]
So far, only the audience member "South China Tiger" has been speaking and interacting with Gu Yumian, while the other audience members are silent. And "South China Tiger" seems to be only paying attention to his appearance.
But Gu Yumian wasn't discouraged. This livestream was just a test run; any problems he encountered were valuable practical experience. He peered through the frosted glass door to the kitchen. The little snow leopard was sleeping peacefully, its chest rising and falling rhythmically, its long, soft tail draped over its belly.
Gu Yumian had no resistance to small animals at all. His heart softened instantly, and he became more serious in handling the ingredients.
After thawing and cleaning the raw mutton, Gu Yumian cut it into thin strips, heated the pan, and poured in a very small amount of oil.
"The baby cat has just been weaned at four months old, so the meat should be cut into finer strips, but it doesn't need to be ground or made into a meat paste." Gu Yumian explained.
When the pot was almost heated, Gu Yumian put in the lamb strips, some radish, and orange peels. He wasn't a professional chef, but he had a lot of experience, combined with the past two days of exploration and thinking.
Radish and orange peel can remove the smell of mutton.
Gu Yumian said, "If it's a tiger or leopard, medium-rare is enough."
Humans can't eat undercooked lamb, but animals don't have this restriction, and their physical fitness has greatly improved in the interstellar age. Animals like tigers and leopards have been living in the wild for thousands of years, and fully cooked food doesn't suit their taste.
When Gu Yumian raised snow leopard cubs, he always fed them raw meat.
After frying for a while, the thin strips of lamb were slightly crispy and slick with oil, but still tinged with the blood of raw meat. The air was filled with the aroma of delicious meat, drifting out through the crack in the door. Outside, the sleeping little snow leopard twitched its nose.
Now all live broadcasts are holographic, allowing users to smell, touch, and even taste the content in the live broadcast room. Of course, that’s all virtual data, just giving people a ‘feeling’.
Just as the fragrance spread, several more comments appeared in the live broadcast room.
South China tigers never go on blind dates: Holy crap! It smells so good! What’s going on? I just finished dinner and I’m hungry!
[Meow: This smells so good, host, can a 24-year-old eat it too?]
However, there is also a discordant comment mixed in.
[Baobaobao: Is the anchor a human? ]
As soon as this comment passed by, the audience members who were originally talking fell silent.
It is their instinct to judge whether someone is a human or an animal, but this instinct will be weakened a lot across the screen - plus, there has never been a human anchor on the Starry Sky live broadcast platform, so everyone assumes that Gu Yumian is also an animal.
Gu Yumian paused as he gripped the pot handle and asked, "So what if it's a human?"
The audience member continued to speak.
[Leopard Hold: Looks like it's human after all. How disgusting.]
[Baobaobao: Medium rare is fine? Haha, this is killing me. Can the host please stop misleading the audience? And don't be silly, you guys. This host is human, how could he possibly understand a cat's diet? If you do what he says, you'll definitely get sick, and then he'll be gloating over your misfortune.]
Hearing him say this, the other audience members could no longer sit still.
South China tigers never go on blind dates: "You're being racist, right? My nanny is a human and has worked for us for 20 years. Whether it's humans or animals, there are good and bad sides. How can you stigmatize them all?"
[Xiao Youyuer: Is the anchor...really a human?]
Gu Yumian said as he scooped out the fried mutton strips, "Yes."
The number of viewers in the livestream, which had been stable at 6, plummeted to 5. The little fish had left. The aroma in the air grew stronger, but the focus of the livestream had completely shifted.
[Baobaobao: I went out and looked up recipes, and all of them say lamb must be well-done. Last night, I was watching Yanjuan's food livestream, a Starry Sky certified food streamer, and he also said it must be well-done. So, as a human being, who gave you the guts to say lamb should be medium-rare?]
In the interstellar age, the diets that animals follow all come from humans.
In the past, humans had to fully cook mutton before eating it, otherwise it would be contaminated by various bacteria. But now, firstly, synthetic mutton no longer has bacterial problems, and secondly, the situation of wild animals and humans is also different.
Fortunately, Gu Yumian had thought of this emergency yesterday.
"My name is Gu Yumian. My personal information can be found through the official Xingkong Live website. If you have any questions, you can directly report them to the police," he said. "Also, this is an official food safety detector."
He held a long, thin instrument that looked a bit like a remote control and placed it on the plate of lamb strips for testing. Two seconds later, the results came out, and he showed them to the camera:
【Safety】.
The leopard was speechless.
South China Tigers Never Go on Blind Dates: I trust the host. Also, I watched Yanjuan's livestream yesterday. I don't mean to criticize one person over the other, but Yanjuan's well-cooked lamb chops certainly weren't as delicious as the host's.
[Meow: I believe in the host too, so can we try it now? It smells so good!]
"Wait a moment, there are still a few steps." Gu Yumian smiled, "And it's very hot now, be careful with your tongue."
[Leopard Hug: Even if it's safe, it probably won't be that delicious.]
[Meow: I see. Is that Leopard Sister a lever-turned-spirit?]
It was at this time.
The half-open kitchen door was pushed open by the little snow leopard's head. The little fellow had just woken up and walked in slowly, yawning. His tail brushed Gu Yumian's ankle and suddenly jumped onto the kitchen counter.
Gu Yumian was startled and was about to pick it up when he saw the little snow leopard move its nose to the plate of mutton strips. Then, it narrowed its eyes and revealed a satisfied expression.
"Be good, you can't eat yet."
Gu Yumian picked up the little snow leopard.
This time it did not resist, but lazily lay on Gu Yumian's shoulder, and looked around the entire kitchen with the eyes of a king inspecting his territory.
Gu Yumian didn't specifically change the mode or parameters before starting the live broadcast. He didn't know that the default setting for live broadcasts is that if an animal appears within a fixed range, the camera will automatically switch to the animal's first-person perspective.
In other words, the live broadcast room has now changed from a God's perspective to a snow leopard's perspective, and the vision, smell, taste, etc. are all synchronized with the snow leopard.
The audience only felt as if they were lying on Gu Yumian's shoulder. The young man's body temperature could be felt through his shirt, and there was a faint smell of sea salt mixed with bamboo leaves. By turning their heads, they could touch the young man's soft hair and ears. The feeling of comfort and closeness surged from the bottom of their hearts, making their hearts numb.
[Meow: Hey, what's wrong? Weren't you just floating in the air? The host smells so good.]
South China tigers never go on blind dates: Holy crap, this feels so good!! What kind of human is this host? How could this happen?! I'm a strong man in my twenties, and I'm asking for a comb, a hug, and a lift! QAQ
[Meow: Big Brother, is your sexual orientation okay...]
The best is yet to come.
Gu Yumian poured egg yolk over the thin lamb strips and fried them for two seconds to make them taste good. Then he added carrot juice squeezed after cooking. The sweet and sour taste of the carrots overwhelmed the last trace of mutton smell. The aroma of the delicious meat was not greasy and immediately awakened the dormant tongue.
"Adding an appropriate amount of vitamins A, D, and calcium powder to the carrot juice can supplement the nutrients that children need." Gu Yumian said, "Okay, you can start eating."
He held the plate in one hand and protected the little snow leopard with the other and walked into the living room.
Many people couldn't wait any longer, but because the live broadcast had switched to the little snow leopard's first-person perspective, they could only taste the flavor once the little snow leopard started eating. The few cat-loving viewers, in particular, couldn't hold back any longer after smelling that unique, unprecedented aroma.
Although animals discriminate against humans, their diet and various living habits have always been strictly based on humans. No animal has ever tried to cook the lamb strips in this way, medium-rare.
Gu Yumian gave the little snow leopard a cushion, but the little snow leopard was unwilling to get off his shoulder. Instead, it maintained that domineering posture and sat dignifiedly on Gu Yumian's shoulder.
Gu Yumian: "..."
The little snow leopard looked at him indifferently with its gray-blue eyes.
Gu Yumian tentatively cut off a piece of mutton and carefully placed it in the little creature's mouth. The snow leopard was very satisfied with his service and understanding. He twitched his nose reservedly for a moment, then lowered his head and took a bite.
The next second, several viewers in the live broadcast room immediately felt the delicious taste exploding on their taste buds!
The degree of doneness is just right, the fat in the mutton is fried out to the surface, and the blood streaks are more in line with the nature of animals born in the jungle wilderness.
Animals cannot eat heavy salt, so Gu Yumian hardly added too much oil or salt. Only the purest and delicious meat was used, with a little bit of carrot juice to enhance the flavor. One bite immediately soothed the thirsty mouth and stomach that had been waiting for a long time.
The whole place was silent for a few seconds, and then the comments started to explode. Many new users who had never spoken before appeared.
[South China tigers never go on blind dates: ! ! ! !]
【Meow: Aaaaahh ...】
[Give You a Flower: Damn, what's going on? I used to hate eating lamb the most!?!]
[Su Yue: Host, please give me another bite! It's not enough! !]
Immediately afterwards, several special effects appeared on the screen.
——"The South China Tiger Never Goes on a Blind Date threw a deep-water torpedo at you," "Meow threw three grenades at you," and "Su Yue threw ten mines at you."
This was a tip for the livestream. Even though the platform took a large cut, Gu Yumian's account suddenly had an extra six hundred Star Coins. He hadn't expected such a positive response from the audience. After a pause, he said, "Thanks... uh, South China Tigers Never Go Blind Dates, meow, and Su Yue for the gift. Thank you."
The guy who had just argued with Baobao Baobao was completely silent. I didn't know whether he had retreated or was completely speechless.
The little snow leopard stopped feeding Gu Yumian, dissatisfied with him, and pushed his head with its little paw pad.
Gu Yumian reacted, estimated the snow leopard's appetite, fed it the remaining lamb strips, and then cleared the plates.
After the little snow leopard had eaten and drunk its fill, it lay half-lying on the sofa and dozed off again, while Gu Yumian went into the kitchen to wash the dishes.
After washing the dishes, he leaned over to scratch the little snow leopard's chin, picked it up and gently rubbed its belly to help digestion. After the meal, the little snow leopard seemed to have let down some of its guard against Gu Yumian, and classified him from the "stranger" to the "servant" camp.
The little guy's gray-blue pupils narrowed into a line, and he tilted his head lazily and rubbed it against Gu Yumian's palm.
Because the live broadcast is from the little snow leopard's first-person perspective, the audience and its feelings are completely synchronized at this moment.
The slender fingers that gently stroked the belly seemed to carry a small cluster of sparks and electric currents, which made the scalp numb and the whole body seemed to soften and melt into a piece of candy.
[South China tigers never go on blind dates: comfortable...]
【Meow: So comfortable...】
【Su Yue: It feels so comfortable...】
However, at this moment, Gu Yumian looked at the time and said, "Today's live broadcast ends here. See you next time. Bye."
Audience: [??? Wait a minute—]
The next second, before they could say anything, the screen went gray.
These four viewers were really not satisfied. With so many live broadcasts these days and so many different kinds of content, it's so hard to find a host that suits your taste. Their biggest regret was not recording right from the start, so they only had time to record a short clip.
Some of them took a short recorded video and started selling Amway spontaneously everywhere.
Soon, the news that "a very powerful human anchor has arrived on the Starry Sky Live Platform" spread among the Tak Star Live viewers.
