Chapter 40 Dinner
Feng Shuyuan silently kept this special tourist in his heart.
Then, she began preparing the next dish.
We've made one vegetarian dish; next, let's make a meat dish that goes well with rice.
She had a sudden idea.
Feng Shuyuan picked out a few round potatoes, a few tomatoes, and two onions from the ingredients.
Then, she grabbed a striped beef brisket from the nearest restaurant.
The beef brisket had already been soaked in cold water in the restaurant, so the blood had been mostly removed, which made things easier for her.
Feng Shuyuan first cut the beef into chunks and blanched it, then caramelized it with rock sugar.
Then pour the blanched beef into the pot and stir-fry evenly.
The light brown beef cubes simmered in the pot until they were evenly coated with a layer of brown syrup.
Next, Feng Shuyuan added the spices and cooking wine to the pot one by one.
"Sizzle..." The cooking wine rose rapidly the moment it entered the pot.
The aroma of spices mingled with the rapidly spreading volatile alcohol in the air.
The onlookers craned their necks, trying to inhale the fragrance in the air.
There are probably several hundred people watching, so the odds of winning are really low.
However, if you can't eat it, smelling it isn't illegal, right?
The viewers in the live stream also craned their necks to smell it.
You can only look at it, not eat it, so what's wrong with smelling it?
Feng Shuyuan looked at the crowd's entranced expressions and couldn't help but laugh and cry.
Where is this?
I haven't experienced enough. If I experience more delicious food, I'll have everything.
After the water evaporated, Feng Shuyuan transferred everything from the pot into a stew pot, thus shielding himself from the predatory gazes of the livestreamers.
"It always smells even better after simmering."
"What's the point of cooking it for so long?"
"What do you care why? As long as there's food, that's all that matters. Why are you being so picky? Do you think I'm spoiling you?"
Since they couldn't see the fragrant meat, the audience could only rely on their imagination.
After all, in their memory, the ingredients that had just been taken out had almost no taste.
Why did it become so delicious?
They were puzzled.
Meanwhile, the livestreamers who had come to watch without having eaten were already drooling over the delicious aroma.
Some of the weaker ones have already temporarily moved to other places to forage for food.
The spots they vacated were quickly taken by other streamers.
Feng Shuyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The beef brisket is stewing in the pot; it's not a problem if it's stewed.
After a short rest, Feng Shuyuan began preparing the side dishes.
The side dishes are much simpler; just shred or dice the vegetables separately.
However, a small incident occurred during the vegetable chopping process.
Because the anchors surrounded Feng Shuyuan so tightly that they couldn't get a chance to cut the onions, the anchors who were standing downwind suffered the consequences.
A bespectacled news anchor who was closest to Feng Shuyuan was staring intently at Feng Shuyuan's every move.
Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, and the bespectacled anchor felt a stinging pain in his eyes.
"Ouch! My eyes! My eyes hurt so much!"
He suddenly covered his eyes and started howling.
"Wow, I smell something bad too!"
"What is this?! Can this thing really be eaten?"
"Ouch, my nose hurts so much!"
The streamers downwind quickly dispersed, while the streamers and viewers upwind were completely baffled.
"This is an ingredient, don't worry, the flavor will be much milder after processing."
Feng Shuyuan asked the bespectacled anchor to wash his eyes with water, and the anchor recovered.
"Wow, is this the taste?"
"Really, let's test this stuff for contamination. Normal food shouldn't have this weird taste, right?"
The bespectacled anchor was a bit paranoid.
When he returned to the viewing group, he quietly stepped back a little.
When he witnessed Feng Shuyuan adding onions to the beef brisket, the bespectacled anchor was stunned.
This dish smells so good, but it's probably going to be ruined by this strange ingredient.
Even if he starved to death or jumped off this cliff, he would never eat a single bite of food made with that eye-burning ingredient.
The bespectacled anchor thought to himself.
The subsequent processes are simple yet complex, but the main point is all about "stewing".
Boil cabbage in water to make broth, then stew with tomatoes, potatoes, and beef brisket.
Before the anchors knew it, it was almost evening.
Does it take this long to make a dish?
"No wonder it tastes so good."
Not only the streamers were saying this, but many viewers in the live stream were also getting impatient.
However, the fragrance wafting in the air kept their hearts firmly tied to this place.
It's worth it to smell it all afternoon.
Before sunset, Feng Shuyuan divided the dishes into ten portions and served them out.
If I was simply craving something when I wanted to cook this morning, now I'm starving.
The moment the pot was opened, the aroma that had been simmering inside burst into the air once again.
The fragrance spreads for ten miles.
The smell even attracted many people who were unaware of the incident to come over.
Upon hearing that the number plates had stopped being issued, they were filled with regret and beat their chests in despair.
The livestreamers, who hadn't eaten all afternoon, had red eyes.
They did gain traffic, but they were also genuinely hungry.
Feng Shuyuan looked at these anchors with bloodshot eyes who were sticking to their posts and felt a sense of amazement.
That takes real perseverance; I certainly couldn't have done it myself.
After taking her dinner away, she looked up again and saw a crowd of eager-looking livestreamers in front of her.
Some of the livestreamers even practically held their number plates up to Feng Shuyuan's face.
Feng Shuyuan fully understands the feelings of these livestreamers.
However, the quantity was indeed insufficient.
She hardened her heart, closed her eyes, and began calling out numbers.
"67, 31, 215, 121, 97, 102, 274, 169, 51."
For a moment, cheers and wails formed a stark contrast.
Those who won the lottery were overjoyed, while those who didn't were dejected.
Feng Shuyuan then asked the staff to bring her 10 bowls of rice.
After taking her share, she offered a friendly suggestion to everyone:
"Eat the boiled cabbage first, then the beef brisket. The beef brisket has a strong flavor, so if you eat it first, you won't be able to taste the cabbage."
"When eating beef brisket, you can have some rice with it, which gives you a different kind of satisfaction."
After saying that, Feng Shuyuan picked up his food and leisurely found a table and chair.
She's about to start eating!
Although the snacks were delicious, as a native Chinese, nothing warmed her heart more than a hot meal.
The cabbage is soft, tender, and sweet, and the soup is rich and flavorful.
With one bite, the cabbage melts in your mouth, leaving only its unique sweetness that lingers and lingers for a long time.
The broth hidden inside the cabbage is not greasy at all, leaving only a delicious flavor in your mouth.
The flavors of various ingredients blend and complement each other in the soup; this one bite feels like tasting the whole of summer.
It truly deserves to be called the pinnacle of vegetarian cuisine.
