“Today’s braised dish is not the same as the braised pork last time,” she answered the barrage questions while lifting the lid of the iron pot.
The new braising liquid, without heating, didn’t have a particularly enticing aroma. Upon opening the lid, there was instead a faint medicinal scent.
It wasn’t unpleasant, but to say it could produce an extraordinary delicacy seemed a bit far-fetched.
So—
[Is this dark and strange-smelling pot the star of today’s show?]
[Is it for making a new dish? Ah—]
[Could it be specifically prepared for today’s event… if it’s not very tasty, people will focus more on chatting instead of food?]
[No way, sniff… If it’s related to the event, it could be made tastier! Crying from deliciousness, it might help solve things better with everyone teary-eyed!]
Today’s barrage was once again full of wonders.
Jiang Qiuqiu was always curious about where everyone’s thoughts were coming from, “No, today’s dish is just a regular one.”
“This is braising liquid for cooking, not for drinking directly. And it’s still cold now, so the taste isn’t very obvious. Once the broth boils, there will be a sweet and spicy aroma.”
[Really? I’m not well-read, don’t lie to me.]
[Looking forward to it.]
Jiang Qiuqiu smiled, turned on the heat, and focused on the live stream.
In front of the screen, the grandchildren also explained, “Don’t judge this braising liquid by its appearance; whatever Jiang Jiujiu makes with it is definitely delicious!
An adult interjected, “Will it be even tastier than what we eat at the Federal restaurant together?”
The children didn’t hesitate to reply, “The Federal restaurant doesn’t have this flavor!”
“Is it really that delicious?”
Actually, young people are like this. As long as you have a good complexion, a topic to discuss, and give them a little attention, they can shine brilliantly.
“Yes! Mom, dad, grandparents, if you’ve tasted it, you’ll understand why I keep drooling in front of the screen.”
The young children gradually became more talkative.
Several usually serious elders couldn’t help but smile.
—
The braising liquid was put on the stove, slowly simmering over low heat.
With the lid open, amidst the boiling liquid, various fragrances from the spices circulated.
Jiang Qiuqiu lit another stove and prepared today’s ingredients.
[Speaking of braised dishes, we have to mention its best pairing, duck. Haven’t you seen braised duck wings, duck neck, duck feet, duck racks? The amount of braised duck eaten by people on Earth every year could circle the Earth n times!]
[With its fragrant, numbing, sweet, and spicy taste, its firm texture, and the spicy sensation that rises from the tip of the tongue, the more you eat, the more you want to continue without stopping—]
“Today’s main dish for braised meat is birds. We’ve selected birds of medium size, around 2 years old. Due to time constraints, I’ve already prepared them separately.”
“Before putting them in the braising liquid, we need to blanch them first.”
Newcomers to the barrage were curious.
[Why are there so many things I don’t understand? What braising, blanching, eating birds, why are there so many people in the live stream room, are they all going to eat birds?]
[Is everyone brave enough?]
The newcomer was clearly very inexperienced.
The barrage responded crazily, [You’re lucky to have come to this live room. Believe it or not, if you hang out here for an hour, tomorrow you’ll go out and convince everyone to come and eat birds together?]
[…What? I don’t believe it.]
[How about we make a bet?]
The girl didn’t know that when she decided to bet in this live room, she had already lost her future freedom.
Every night after 8 o’clock.
[Deal!]
