Looking at the meager food left in his hand, Li Sheng was like a starving wolf. Building a shelter was even more physically and mentally exhausting, and his previous supplies were far from enough to keep up with his body's demands. He practically wiped out the entire clump of thatch roots. Although it looked like a lot, he could only chew it and spit it out. In the end, very little of it could actually be used by his body.
The fire was lit, and the fish's internal organs were skillfully removed. Although it was only the size of a palm, no detail was overlooked.
"Attention, friends in the live stream! The next step is the most important part of cleaning fish: after gutting it, never break the gallbladder. Whether it's a fish or any other animal, you have to be careful with the gallbladder during processing. If you break it, it will greatly affect the flavor of the food. The bitterness of the bile will be very difficult to clean off once it gets on the meat."
After the bile was extracted, it was specially displayed in front of everyone so that they could see the true nature of this bittering agent.
Next, the fish were skewered on a small stick, and a frame was built over the fire. The stick with the fish was placed on the frame, and the milk ball rotated the stick evenly to ensure that it was heated evenly and would not burn.
The rest of the ingredients were prepared the same way, and the cogongrass roots were simply washed and eaten directly.
"The roots of Imperata cylindrica are all coarse fiber. Chewing too much may cause fatigue in the cheeks or damage to the oral mucosa. So you should do it in moderation."
I picked out some tender pieces from the cleaned cogon grass roots to give to the milk balls, and I chewed them with relish. The sight of the big one and the small one looking so appetizing was quite tempting.
Li Sheng is like a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey, but the way he holds and gnaws on the milk ball is like a little rabbit eating vegetables—a perfect food streamer.
This happened to be lunchtime, and the number of people in the live stream had reached 1,500.
Live Stream Room
"Why don't the father and daughter become food vloggers? Maybe they can become famous."
"I'm curious what cogongrass roots taste like; they look delicious."
"Everything can be found on Taobao. I've already placed an order and am looking forward to it."
Looking at the grass root in the baby's mouth, the takeout food on the table suddenly seemed tasteless.
"Looking at the grass root in the milk ball's mouth, I suddenly felt that the instant noodles with two eggs were tasteless."
Suddenly, this bowl of lobster hot and sour noodles seemed tasteless.
Suddenly, this plate of barbecue tastes bland.
Suddenly I have lost all interest in abalone sauce rice.
"Even the king crab with the size of a face in front of me has lost its appetite."
"I have no interest in this Manchu Han Imperial Feast on the table."
A strange trend of comparison suddenly emerged in the live stream, which was incredibly infuriating for Li Sheng, who was chewing on cogon grass roots. This might not have been a big deal under normal circumstances, but he had been starving for almost two days.
Li Sheng looked somewhat aggrieved and said indignantly, "Don't be so smug, everyone here. One day, my instant noodles will not only have two double-yolk eggs, but also a sausage and a bottle of Very Cola."
The viewers' happiness at this moment was entirely based on Li Sheng's suffering.
"Hey streamer, how about I livestream myself eating a Manchu Han Imperial Feast? Seeing it will be like you've actually eaten it."
"What kind of ambition do you have? At least you should add some vegetables to your diet for a balanced nutrition, okay?"
"I'm afraid that if the streamer stays like this, he'll never be able to afford three dishes and a soup in his life."
"Host, the braised pork knuckle looks so tempting, it's so tender and melts in your mouth. The invitation has been sent out, whether you can come and eat it is up to you."
Li Sheng: "Some creatures have the appearance of humans, but in reality they have turned into dogs."
Live stream comments
"Haha, the streamer is getting anxious."
"Can't afford to play this game, can't afford to play this game."
"Woof woof woof, woof woof woof."
Li Sheng was enthusiastically bantering with the viewers in the live stream, creating a very lively atmosphere.
"Ha! Fortune changes every thirty years, don't underestimate a young man's potential, follow me and you'll be proven wrong."
Live stream comments
"The streamer is too confident. He was poor when he was young, he will be poor in middle age, he will receive welfare when he is old, and the government will sponsor him to have a box when he dies (just kidding)."
"I don't know which river the anchor is referring to, the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, or the river between you and me."
"Is it the river that flows eastward?"
Looking at these comments, he thought to himself, "666!"
If these people were to be sent to negotiate between envoys during wartime in ancient times, they would be the perfect match for the job, with a success rate of over 90%.
Sometimes negotiations aren't like the orderly back-and-forth dialogues depicted in TV dramas. They can be far more intense than you might imagine, with scenes where the other side gets so angry that they're speechless and even spit on you.
Compared to Li Sheng's intense activity, Nai Tuan was much quieter. Perhaps her feet were itchy from mosquito bites, as she sat on the ground rubbing her little feet together very quickly.
This is just too cute, like a little fly rubbing its feet.
Soon the banana cores and grilled fish were ready too. The fish, which was about half the size of a palm, became even smaller after grilling. The tiny shrimp were no bigger than the little finger of the baby. It was almost impossible to get full, but at least we weren't hungry.
He took some of these things and gave them to Naituan to try, except for the fish. He laid them out on banana leaves and let her take them herself.
He wasn't in the mood to argue with the viewers in the live stream; what he really wanted was to eat something hot.
Although there were no seasonings, the body's craving for food made these things more satisfying than ever before.
Just as he was engrossed in eating, a pair of small hands suddenly grabbed his arm.
"dad".
Li Sheng, who was happily eating, didn't turn around: "Baby, there are too many bones in the fish, you can't eat it."
At this moment, the little girl's face turned a little red, and she tugged at her father's arm again: "Daddy."
Li Sheng: "Dad, eat faster, or you won't want to eat anymore if you can't smell it."
At this moment, the people in the live stream were the most anxious, and the number of comments in the chat was unprecedented.
"Host, please turn around and look, the milk ball is choking."
"Oh my god, please, streamer, turn around and look at your child."
"Child! Child! Child!"
"Stop eating, child!"
The baby's face contorted even more, and his voice became even more strained as he spoke: "Daddy."
Only then did he realize something was wrong. Through her tireless efforts, Naituan finally awakened Li Sheng's paternal love.
He immediately dropped the grilled fish he was holding; it was clear he had choked.
Immediately lift him up from behind, lean him slightly forward, place one hand on the lower half of his sternum, use the other hand to cup his fist to control the force, and quickly thrust him towards the back of his chest.
The baby was too small for him to use too much force, and it took several tries for the thing stuck in his mouth to finally come out.
The baby's flushed face improved, and he finally felt relieved. Heaven knows how scared he had been just now; he had been too careless.
The viewers in the live stream finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then I saw the comments on the screen expressing everyone's anxiety, worry, and disappointment for him, and I felt a warmth in my heart.
He earnestly and seriously admitted his mistake to everyone, filled with remorse.
