Chapter 67: It’s Spicy!

“We’re not making a drink, we’re making a dish.”

“First, let’s deal with the blood. Liquid blood can’t be eaten, so we need to make it coagulate first.”

The pig’s blood that was delivered has been sterilized, saving the step of sterilization. Prepare a pot of cold water, add an appropriate amount of salt, stir, and then pour the pig’s blood, which has been skimmed of impurities, into the cold water.

[She said she’s not making a drink… but it really looks like a beverage.]

“This is the first step, mixing cold water with pig’s blood to remove impurities. We’ll get a clear mixture, then seal the pot and let it sit for an hour.”

“To ensure the smooth progress of the livestream, I’ve prepared in advance. After an hour of standing still, we’ll get solidified blood.”

[What’s happening here?]

[Can it really change in an hour?]

[…So magical, does it become finished after coagulating?]

“After coagulation, we add the pig’s blood to boiling water and simmer for half an hour to get this.” Jiang Qiuqiu picked up a bowl from the side, the pig’s blood in the porcelain plate already showing some whitish color. “These are the ingredients we need today.”

So, after looking at it for half a round, is this just the beginning? It’s a bit confusing, but watching a livestream is supposed to be fun. This new streamer’s operation seems quite interesting, although the dishes she makes don’t look appetizing, they’re still quite magical—

[Has a chemistry streamer wandered into the food channel?]

The audience gradually increased, and Ming Mei in the background also saw the data soaring, but none of the comments from the newbies were anticipating food.

Of course, this situation will soon change.

Heating the pot and adding oil, Jiang Qiuqiu shook the pot, and the oil evenly spread over the iron pot, emitting a fragrance as it sizzled on high heat.

The veteran fans were boiling with excitement!

At first, making blood tofu seemed colorless and tasteless, and everyone felt a bit disheartened to start a fuss. But now, the pot was heated! According to convention, the aroma should come out immediately!

“Today’s flavor is spicy, and it’s my first time making a spicy dish in the livestream room.”

Someone asked what spicy tasted like.

Jiang Qiuqiu pondered for a moment and briefly described, “It’s a very unique and distinctive flavor. It tastes great with rice and is suitable for eating spicy dishes in autumn and winter.”

“Its most significant feature is that the moment you eat it, your tongue and lips will feel a stimulating taste sensation. Although it’s stimulating, the magical thing about spiciness is that it makes you want to eat more the more you eat.”

[So magical!?]

[Little Sister Jiujiu is going to show her power!]

[Newcomers, wait and see, you’re about to be conquered!]

The veteran fans’ comments were quite funny, and Jiang Qiuqiu couldn’t help but laugh. “Okay, the oil temperature is hot enough, we can add the chili sauce now.”

One second, everyone didn’t know what a stimulating taste was.

The next second, everyone understood.

Nothing can stimulate the fragrance of chili peppers more than hot oil. The high temperature rapidly evaporates the capsaicin into the air, and the taste of chili peppers is the most domineering among all flavors.

Bit by bit, it invaded everyone’s nostrils along with the wind.

The oil pan made a sizzling sound, and the fragrance became stronger. Jiang Qiuqiu, seeing that the heat was about right, added a ladle of clear water. The transparent water quickly took on a appetizing red color.

Soon, Jiang Qiuqiu covered the pot.

The intense aroma came and went quickly, but many people had already been blown away by the spiciness.

Newcomers who had never seen the world began to ask: [What is this?]

In the intervals when fans were answering questions, Jiang Qiuqiu scooped up a piece of blood tofu.

“To make the blood stew more flavorful, we’ll cut it into small pieces.”

People in the 21st century don’t like to put tender tofu on a cutting board; they usually deal with it directly in their hands.

Jiang Qiuqiu was no exception.

The big kitchen knife flipped up and down, flashing on the blood tofu, and soon, the thing was divided into evenly sized small squares, and Jiang Qiuqiu’s hand remained unscathed. This is strength.
