It was 8 PM.

All was still and quiet, yet it was the time for delicacies to quietly emerge.

A message simultaneously popped up on tens of millions of terminals: The streamer you follow, Jiang Jiujiu, is now online! Please head to her #live_stream_room# to support her.

It was her familiar greeting: "Hello everyone, I’m Jiang Jiujiu. Welcome to my culinary live stream. Today, we’re back to our regular cooking special! Today’s menu: Preserved Mustard Greens with Pork Belly."

Jiang Qiuqiu held up a piece of Gugu Beast Meat. "Just like the ingredients for Braised Gugu Meat, our first choice for Preserved Mustard Greens with Pork Belly is this kind of pork belly with a good mix of fat and lean."

"To get rid of the gamey taste, the first step is to blanch it."

#Pure bliss, I’m in the front row!#

#AHHHH, this is definitely going to be just as delicious as the Braised Gugu Meat! The ingredients are the same!#

"While it’s blanching, we can add some spices. This will infuse the meat with their natural fragrance."

While the meat was blanching, Jiang Qiuqiu also soaked the preserved mustard greens. This era didn’t have an abundance of traditional preserved mustard greens, so she had made this dried vegetable herself. She had previously found a vegetable similar to a cabbage heart, sliced it, and dried it out using high-tech equipment.

"Put the preserved mustard greens in water for a quick rinse and soak. It doesn’t need long. We’ll take them out after we take out the meat."

As she spoke, she opened the lid of the blanching pot. The high heat had caused the scum from the meat to float to the surface, and the once-reddish pork belly had turned a lustrous white.

Using a hook, she lifted the strips of meat onto the cutting board. Jiang Qiuqiu then poured out a small bowl of soy sauce.

The prep work for this dish was a little complicated. Jiang Qiuqiu explained each step softly. There was no background music, but this quiet stream, punctuated only by the occasional sound from the cutting board and her interactions with the audience, was drawing in more and more fans.

In Jiang Qiuqiu’s live stream, old fans never left, and there was never a shortage of new ones.

After all, this was a live stream that could even captivate the Imperial Blade, Mo Si.

Two walls away, Mo Si was also watching the live stream on his terminal, logged into a side account. Mo Chengyu’s house didn’t have a large projection screen; the video from the terminal was just a small display.

’He knows how to set up a Mental Training Device but doesn’t know how to install a projector.’

’So thoughtless.’

On the light screen, Jiang Qiuqiu had already picked up the strips of pork belly and was rubbing them with soy sauce.

"The entire strip of pork belly needs to be evenly coated with soy sauce. This helps it absorb the beautiful color of the broth and brings out the meat’s umami. To help the pork belly absorb more flavor, we can use a sharp object to poke holes in the skin."

And so, a dense pattern of tiny holes appeared on the skin. To enhance the color even more, Jiang Qiuqiu placed the meat back in the soy sauce.

#Color is such a magical thing!!! When it was white, I just thought it looked pretty. The moment it changed color, I thought it looked delicious!!#

#+1#

#Hurry, hurry! I wish I could fast-forward time and skip straight to the part where we fight for the dish!#

Everyone was getting impatient.

But cooking was not something that could be rushed.

After waiting a little while, the soy sauce on the meat had air-dried slightly, and the preserved mustard greens had finished soaking. Jiang Qiuqiu scooped them out, drained the water, and then turned on the heat under her large pot.

Under the high heat, the pot sizzled a few times as the few remaining drops of water inside quickly evaporated.

Jiang Qiuqiu poured a moderate amount of oil into the pot.

The moment they saw her heat oil in the pot, the bullet comments exploded.

#It’s gonna smell amazing! It’s gonna smell amazing! The smell is so good it could kill my whole family!!#

#The deliciousness is about to arrive!#

#The highlight moment! It already looks so tasty!#

At that same moment, Mo Si also stood up. He quickly went to the window and shut all the windows in the room, then closed the door as well.

The young woman next door was about to start cooking at this time too.

He absolutely could not let her cooking smells drift over and mingle with the aroma of Jiang Jiujiu’s food.

Savoring the aroma was also a kind of enjoyment.
