Gourmet: Twins' Father and Chef of the Kindergarten
Chapter 379 - 349: Negative Example (Part 2)
Liang Yinqiu explained to Jiang Shuihan with a gentle smile, "Actually, spinach and pork liver soup is very beneficial for the body, it can boost energy and nourish the blood, and enhance beauty. Especially in this season, it’s very suitable. Why not give it a try? Chef Huang’s skills are top-notch, I’m sure you’ll be pleased with the taste of this pork liver."
Jiang Shuihan: "..."
Even so, she really couldn’t bring herself to like it...
After all, the taste of pork liver varies from person to person; some avoid it like the plague, while others love it deeply.
Lv Pengfei belonged to the latter category. He eagerly scooped up the soup with a spoon, and after eating a piece of pork liver, he remarked, "Anchor Jiang, this pork liver is handled quite well, it doesn’t taste tough or gamey at all. I think it tastes pretty good!"
The flavor of the spinach pork liver soup was indeed delicious, with the crispness of the spinach perfectly blending with the tender and smooth pork liver, becoming more aromatic as one chewed.
Lv Pengfei was completely captivated by the taste of the soup and drank several more mouthfuls as he spoke.
Jiang Shuihan truly did not detect any unpleasant smell from the soup. In fact, before she realized it was pork liver soup, she had already been attracted by its aroma.
However.
Due to a deep-seated aversion to pork liver from a young age, her instinctive repulsion towards it kept her teetering on the edge of trying it.
She was indeed hesitant!
The audience in the live stream room was amused by the trio’s interaction and, learning of Jiang Shuihan’s resistance to pork liver, started egging her on:
[Han Han, be brave, take a bite, it might open up a whole new world for you!]
[That’s right, since Director Liang recommended it with such confidence, it mustn’t taste bad!]
[I can already imagine how delicious this spinach pork liver soup must be, don’t ask me why, just know that I’m already starving just watching. Han Han, if you don’t eat it, I’ll order a delivery myself!]
[Han Han, stop hesitating, just drink the soup already, we’re all dying to hear your thoughts!]
[Everyone, start tipping, so Han Han has no choice but to yield under our tipping blitz and drink the soup.]
[Han Han, being a picky eater is not good, what if there are kids watching your livestream, you’d be setting a bad example!]
[Yeah, exactly, as a public figure, being picky can have a bad influence, stop hesitating and drink it!]
Enough!
Even if you all talk until you’re blue in the face, even if I, Jiang Shuihan, starve to death, even if I’m drowned by your saliva, I will never drink this spinach pork liver soup.
But in the next second...
A wave of "Carnival" rain suddenly poured down in the live stream room, with gifts and rewards flooding the screen, catching Jiang Shuihan off guard.
Are you trying to ’shower’ me into drinking this bowl of spinach pork liver soup with tips?
Fine!
Then let the tipping come stronger!
With a trace of hesitation, Jiang Shuihan cautiously scooped up a piece of pork liver and brought it to her nose for a sniff.
Surprisingly, there was no bad odor!
Lv Pengfei, still somewhat unsatisfied, saw Jiang Shuihan’s hesitation and volunteered, "Anchor Jiang, if you really don’t like pork liver, want me to help you out with it?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuihan smiled and waved her hand, "No need, no need, Mr. Lv, I’ll handle it myself."
Alright then!
She feared that if she let Lv Pengfei eat it, the fans might withdraw their tips!
Besides, since the pork liver didn’t smell off, she wanted to taste it herself to see how it was, planning to just swallow it if she couldn’t stand it.
So...
Jiang Shuihan mustered up the courage and put that piece of pork liver into her mouth...
Hmm?
The taste wasn’t bad at all!
The pork liver had no off-taste and, instead, as she chewed, she felt a delicate tenderness with a subtle, intriguing resilience, completely unlike her past impressions of pork liver.
Since childhood, an unpleasant experience had made Jiang Shuihan keep her distance from pork liver, leading her taste memory of it to be fuzzy, only faintly recalling that its texture was less than satisfactory back then.
But now, the pork liver, perfectly cooked in the soup, retained its tender and smooth texture while fully absorbing the essence of the broth, each piece rich in delicious flavor.
Finding it quite tasty, she couldn’t help but try another piece.
If her mom knew she was eating pork liver now, she would be so shocked her jaw would drop. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
It was known that at home, she would never eat pork liver no matter what. Her mom initially tried persuading her, but seeing her intense aversion, she eventually stopped buying pork liver altogether.
The bullet comments were flying by rapidly:
[Wow! This spinach pork liver must really taste great, the moment it entered, the anchor’s brows and eyes relaxed, showing no sign of resistance or disdain, even showing some enjoyment!]
[I just want to know how this pork liver tastes!]
[+1, I want to know too!]
[Anchor, try the other dishes, or they might get cold. I’m getting anxious for you.]
"This pork liver..." said Jiang Shuihan while savoring, "it truly surprised me, completely different from my childhood memory. Its texture is tender and slightly chewy, with no gaminess at all. It goes really well with the spinach."
"Of course it’s good; Chef Huang’s cooking is something you can trust," said Lv Pengfei with a smile.
Liang Yinqiu also felt pleased hearing this.
Jiang Shuihan couldn’t resist picking up a piece of lychee meat next, putting it into her mouth.
Instantly, her taste buds were tightly embraced by a rich sweet-and-sour sauce, the balance of sweet and sour perfectly awakening all her culinary expectations.
She bit gently...
The crispy outer layer emitted a satisfying "crunch" between her teeth, while the inside was surprisingly tender and juicy, the meat firm and bouncy, each bite revealing the intricate and luscious fiber of the meat.
The sweet and sour sauce fused flawlessly with the fresh meat savor, seemingly staging a dual feast of taste and texture on her tongue...
Jiang Shuihan’s eyes involuntarily widened, her face showing a look of delighted surprise: "This lychee meat is truly amazing, I could say it’s the most delicious lychee meat I’ve eaten in over twenty years. Crispy outside, tender inside, sweet and sour, I feel like using all words of praise to describe it."
Viewers in the live stream room were also infected by Jiang Shuihan’s enthusiastic reaction, the bullet comments filled with curiosity and longing for the lychee meat.
[Through the phone screen and internet cable, I’m dying to crawl through it to eat that lychee meat!]
[My God, Hanhan, you might as well switch to food vlogging, how can you make eating sound this enticing, waa!]
[Originally, I just thought this lychee meat looked nice, watching the anchor enjoy it so much, and the description makes it even more tantalizing, I wish I could eat it right now.]
[Seeing the anchor eat so enjoyably, hearing this commentary, I really want to try it!]
[It’s confirmed, this lychee meat is definitely a delicacy on earth. But alas, I can’t eat it... just watching the anchor eat, feeling so helpless...]
[I’m starving from watching, I couldn’t wait and ordered a takeout of lychee meat, hope the taste won’t disappoint...]
The live stream room’s popularity continued to rise, with the number of viewers also increasing. Many people, originally just curious and clicking in from recommended pages to take a casual look, got deeply engrossed by this enticing lunch, watching the anchor eat as if they were the ones eating.
Just as everyone was enjoying the food...
A large crowd appeared outside the garden gate.
