Chapter 33 - Spicy Crayfish 2
All three cameras captured three different perspectives.
The netizens, who were persistently urging for an update in the official blog, suddenly received a reminder from the Xingchen app.
[The stream you are following "Two Under One Roof" is live now! Click to join the live broadcast room~~]
The audience: Holy cow, it finally started?!
They could finally see s.h.i.+ Yingdi! And the cute Yan Nai-didi!
But when they clicked into the stream channel, a very impactful scene appeared...
Old Zhang had resigned from Muyao TV alongside Li Jianyu. He had many years of cinematography experience, often taking part in food doc.u.mentaries, that"s why he had chosen to film the food from a closer angle.
Xiang Yi tossed a handful of scallions in, increasing the fragrant aroma by several degrees. She then poured in shrimp paste to boil out the oil. Once the hot pot base melted, she added in the crayfish which had been slightly fried.
"Sizzle—!"
On the opposite side of the screen, the delectable aroma could be felt.
—[What am I watching? Is the vase cooking??]
—[AI head-replacing technologies are really advanced now... They could replace a chef"s head with the Vase Fairy??]
—[What do you mean head swap! This is the Vase Fairy herself!]
—[??? She knows how to toss a wok? Really?! This wok must weigh at least a dozen pounds right?!!]
—[Holy f*ck, she really really really really really knows how to cook!!]
—[Ah ah ah ah the crayfish is turning red!! I"m drooling]
As Xiang Yi turned the heat to high, the tails on the crayfish quickly curled up, turning a bright red color. She added some clear water and sprinkled in a handful of green peppercorn and dried red pepper before covering the pot to simmer.
She then turned on another stove. Seeing Xiang Yi remaining silent, Li Jianyu quickly cued, "What are you planning to make next?"
"Garlic crayfish." Xiang Yi calmly answered. She didn"t care about the camera, s.h.i.+fting her gaze back to her pot after just a glance.
Yet, the number of viewers in the stream began increasing rapidly...
The viewers consisted of netizens who had slept in until noon, or those social animals who didn"t have time this weekend to watch the first stream. It was their first meal of the day, and it"s a weekend too, a primetime for high viewer traffic.
What kind of streams do people watch while they eat?
Of course it had to be an appetizing one!
The girl in the stream was fair and beautiful even without makeup. Her slender wrists appeared to be powerless, but she was easily tossing a large iron pot while operating two stoves at once. This, in itself, was enough to captivate audiences.
But most importantly...
The crayfish she was frying looked way too appetizing!
The environment in the live stream chat had achieved an astonis.h.i.+ng harmony.
—[How come I can"t roast her anymore...]
—[Slurp. My tears are uncontrollably flowing from my mouth...]
—[QQQQ Sister Yi, I want to eat crayfish at your house! I don"t eat much, I just need a bucket!]
The camera cut to the living room to broadcast the interaction between s.h.i.+ Sui and the Yan father and son. The comment section was still very active, but it was far less active than during Xiang Yi"s cooking scenes.
There was a large number of netizens strongly demanding that the livestream screen be redirected back to the kitchen.
Li Jianyu: ???
"I thought this was a lifestyle variety show? How did it become a livestreamed gourmet food show?"
...Good food, after all, was a part of life. He then calmly aimed the camera toward Xiang Yi.
At this time, the steaming crayfish was being taken out of the two pots, one after the other.
