I'm the Culinary God
Chapter 979 - 409: The Magic of Northeast Cuisine—Even When Full, You Want More! Dundun’s First Livestream!
Han Shuzhen originally didn’t want to try it, but couldn’t resist Shen’s persuasion, so she took the bowl and tried a small mouthful.
The sour and fragrant soup was slightly hot when entering the mouth, but drinking it did make the stomach feel quite comfortable.
She said to everyone:
"It’s really good, you all should try it. Drinking this sauerkraut soup, my stomach indeed feels much more relaxed."
At this moment, Lin Xu happened to walk out of the kitchen and saw that no one was eating, so he curiously asked:
"What’s wrong? Have you completely lost your appetite?"
Shen Baobao said:
"Ate too much earlier, now I don’t have an appetite for anything... But dad and mom said drinking some sauerkraut soup would be good, so I’m going to give it a try. Yan Bao, aren’t you having some soup?"
Everyone gathered around, nobody wanted to eat meat or sauerkraut, they all wanted to try how the soup in the pot tasted.
As for Lin Xu, he was at the car show, ate enough, and didn’t eat anymore, but was busy taking pictures of Dundun. At this moment, he caught the sour scent wafting from the pot.
Can’t deny, it was quite tempting.
Picked a thin slice of pork from the pot, dipped it into garlic paste sauce, then sent it into his mouth.
The texture of the meat was great, with a sour fragrance and the unique garlic and salty flavor of the dip, biting into it gave a really satisfying sensation of eating meat.
While eating this delicious slice of meat, he picked up some sauerkraut for a bite.
The sauerkraut was crisp and refreshing, its surface full of the aroma of pork fat, but with a bite, you could taste the distinctive sour fragrance of the sour cabbage.
Additionally, the cabbage leaves absorbed the broth completely, making each mouthful fragrant, fresh, and enjoyable.
After Lin Xu finished tasting, he couldn’t help but serve himself a small bowl of rice.
With such delicious dishes, not having some rice would be such a waste.
Seeing him eat so heartily, others couldn’t resist joining in, some drinking soup, some eating sauerkraut, and others cautiously picking up the pork.
At first, everyone just wanted to have a taste.
But as they tasted, they sat down and officially started eating.
Northeast dishes seem to have a kind of magic, even if overstuffed, they tempt you to have another taste, then another, leading you step by step into it.
By the time they realized, half of the pot of sauerkraut had already been emptied.
"This sauerkraut is really good, how about having it again tomorrow?"
Han Shuzhen’s suggestion immediately brightened Shen’s face.
Lin Xu said:
"Alright, let’s make sauerkraut with pork and vermicelli tomorrow, cut the pork into big chunks, stew with the sauerkraut for two hours first, then slice the meat when eating."
Shen Guofu, who originally couldn’t eat any more, couldn’t help himself after hearing this and grabbed two more slices of pork, finally getting his fill.
"Then we’ll be waiting to eat tomorrow."
Soon, everyone dispersed, unable to eat any more. Staying at Lin Ji looking at such good food and being unable to eat only adds to the frustration.
Lin Xu and Shen Baobao drove Dundun, full and satisfied, home after work.
Dundun is going to live-stream tonight, gotta prepare early.
Whether or not they can attract fans is secondary; the main thing is to let Dundun enjoy speaking like a village chief.
To give the little one more of a sense of immersion, Lin Xu went to an audio shop while passing by and bought a desktop microphone exactly like the one at the car show.
Back home.
Lin Xu changed into slippers, looked around, searching for a suitable place for Dundun to live-stream.
The best place is Dundun’s room, which is full of toys, but there’s no place for anyone to sit; Lin Xu and Shen Baobao can’t squat on the floor next to adjust the live stream angle or anything.
After thinking, it’s still more suitable in the living room.
In one corner of the living room, there’s an electronic fireplace for decoration, it can heat up, and on the glass panel outside, it can simulate the flames burning in the fireplace.
Turn on the fireplace, place a table in front, and let Dundun lean on the table for the live stream.
Just right, the fireplace and the large balcony next to it can serve as a background.
After selecting the live-stream location, Lin Xu set up a tripod, installed the camera for the live stream, and then adjusted it to make the color tone in the live stream room softer.
As it gradually got darker, the fireplace brightness was increased, giving a vibe of speaking by the fire.
Shen Baobao glanced, wearing home clothes, and said laughingly:
"My son is going to deliver a fireside chat, should we play some air raid background sound, mimic the real situation of the Great Ying Empire during WWII?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Lin Xu laughed and said:
"Let’s not, otherwise we might get reported."
Being home now, Lin Xu specifically changed Dundun into a little sweater.
While he was busy doing these, Shen Baobao purposely took a set of photos, posted live stream previews on Lin Ji’s Food topic, personal account, and group.
It’s his son’s first broadcast; gotta give enough face.
Seeing this message, the netizens were all thrilled:
"Not letting us talk in the morning, now, gotta busy for the live-stream."
"Already followed the account and live-stream room, looking forward to it starting."
"All along, I have considered Dundun as my spiritual support. Now that it’s live-streaming tonight, no doubt, gotta reward it with a small gift."
"I’m actually not interested in Dundun’s talents, as long as it’s happy, that matters more than any talent."
"Agree, really dislike those who treat cats as money tools, the more the cat is afraid, the more videos they shoot to attract flow; when the cat dies, they replace it with another, so inhumane."
"Same here, every time I come across similar short videos, I quickly swipe away, not daring to watch, because I don’t know how many hardships the kitten went through to record that video."
"But Dundun won’t be like that, it even knows more than its owner."
