Her Food Livestream Chapter 154: Pickled Cabbage Fish

Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Pickled Cabbage Fish

Jiang Qiuqiu’s livestream channel had been revamped.

Even though it seed like nothing had changed, everyone was still buzzing with excitent.

The mont Jiang Qiuqiu started her stream, the chat was flooded with comnts:

#My Juju is starting real-world delivery today!#

#I washed my hands today! Washed them squeaky clean! I’m definitely not going to be unlucky today!#

#I’m sure I’ll be a lucky duck!#

"Everyone has an equal chance. Alright, welco to my food stream! I’m Jiang Jiujiu. With autumn in the air, let’s make a uniquely flavored dish that’s simply irresistible: pickled vegetable fish."

#Sour???#

#It was spicy, then sweet, and now we’re doing sour?#

In the great river of cosmic ti, much of Ancient Earth’s written information had been lost over generations of constant warfare.

When people tried to trace back to the origin, they could only find bits and pieces of information.

As it happened, the concept of a ’sour’ taste was among those inherited fragnts.

So, everyone had a lot to say about the ’sour’ flavor!

#But didn’t soone point out that on Ancient Earth, this was a flavor that made people’s faces contort? Can you really make good food with a flavor like that?#

#Sour... what does sour taste like?#

Curious fans lined up, all asking questions.

The history buffs in the chat also chid in: #???#

#To the person above, is now really the ti to be thinking about that? Shouldn’t the real question be how Juju knows what sour tastes like? Is this solid proof that she’s an inheritor of Ancient Earth’s culinary traditions?#

As speculation ran wild in the chat, Jiang Qiuqiu set up a large pot and brought out several ter-long black fish.

#???#

#What is that? Ugh, it looks so ugly.#

#You can eat that thing? This... this is a fish, right? Aren’t fish just ornantal pets?#

According to the surviving historical records, fish on Ancient Earth were apparently kept as pets—and rather expensive ones at that.

#Sothing that ugly can be a pet?!#

"How is it ugly? I don’t see why everyone thinks so. This is a rare delicacy."

"Enough talk, let’s prepare the fish first." Being a freshwater fish, it could easily develop a muddy taste if not handled properly.

This was a holographic broadcast, after all...

"The cleaning process is a bit gory, so for the best viewing experience, let’s turn off the cara for two minutes."

Before anyone could say a word, the stream suddenly went black.

The audience could only hear Jiang Qiuqiu’s voice giving instructions, along with the sound of a knife slicing through flesh and striking the cutting board.

"The fish must be cleaned thoroughly. Remove the innards and rinse away all the blood."

Then ca the sound of gushing water. SPLASH SPLASH SPLASH.

A mont later, the screen finally lit up again. The two fish in the fra had already been gutted.

"Next, we’ll descale the fish."

Jiang Qiuqiu picked up a cleaver and used its spine to tap evenly all over the fish’s body. Then, she picked up a round, tal spoon, held it upside down, and began scraping from the tail upwards.

The scales ca off in sheets, like waves pushed aside by an unseen force. Soon, both fish were cleaned completely.

"With the first step done, we’ll begin the second: slicing the fish."

For pickled vegetable fish, slices that are too thick won’t absorb the flavor properly. However, Jiang Qiuqiu didn’t like to slice them too thin, either. If they were too thin, they would cook in an instant. Cooking them for too long would make them overly soft and mushy, falling apart at the slightest touch of a chopstick.

"To slice the fish, first cut off the head, tail, and fins. Then, slice the body into thin pieces about five milliters thick. You can take your ti with this step. Try to keep the slices as uniform in thickness as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to get the cooking ti just right."

The audience, however, wasn’t hearing a word of her explanation.
