Chapter 38 – So, how many people were watching her live stream at the end? (2)
On the screen, only half of her figure could be seen at this angle, and her face couldn’t be seen at all. Lin Yiyi glanced at the screen and answered, “The name of the dish I’m teaching how to cook today is Gaosheng Pork Ribs. The gaosheng part of its name is taken from the idiom of rising steadily. The most important thing is that this dish tastes very good. Cooking this dish is simple, and it’s something even a novice can make.
(T/N: The literal translation of gaosheng is getting a promotion. Below is a picture of gaoseng pork ribs.)
The first impression an ordinary viewer would have is the streamer’s voice. Often, they would hear the sound from the stream before seeing the visuals.
Noise or random background sounds would be a negative factor. For example, it was very likely that a viewer might stop watching a stream just because of static in the background. No matter how pretty a streamer was, if her voice wasn’t pleasant to hear or if the content of her speech wasn’t appealing, viewers would leave her channel.
Lin Yiyi’s soft and gentle voice sounded especially pleasing. Thus, the viewers that had accidently entered the channel had the impulse to stay a bit longer and see what would happen next.
[Han Yu: Hehe, this streamer has a nice voice.]
[Nanako: What’s Gaosheng Pork Ribs? This is the first time I’ve heard of it.]
[Little Yueyue: Is the streamer a beauty?]
[What’s going on?: Yo, her knife skills are pretty good.]
Lin Yiyi had introduced the main ingredients in the dish that she would be using shortly: pork ribs, oil, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and cooking wine. Then, she placed the rinsed pork ribs on the chopping board and began to cut them.
Actually, she could have requested the butcher to cut the pork ribs when she had purchased them at the food market. But, Lin Yiyi was a bit OCD. Not only did the food have to taste good, it had to look good too.
The pork ribs would look a lot better if they were cut into uniform shapes and sizes.
At this time, she started cutting the cleaned pork ribs with a cleaver.
The sharp cleaver rose and fell. Although her arm was slender, it looked as if she had boundless strength. In the blink of an eye, she had cut the entire pork ribs into small pieces and piled them together. If you took a closer look, you could see that their sizes were uniform.
The Lin family’s villa was furnished with the very best materials. The oak cabinets were built with a European-style, and the kitchen tools were imported from Germany.
The cleaver and other kitchen tools she was using were extremely easy to use.
Just from how she nimbly cut the pork ribs, it could be seen that she was very experienced in cooking. In addition, there hadn’t been the ugliness of flying bits of meat and fat that you would see at a food market when meat was being chopped up. The viewers were all blankly staring at theirs screens…
Without her noticing, the number of viewers in the upper right corner had become 89.
After she finished cutting the pork ribs, Lin Yiyi took the time to look at the comments and answer the viewers’ questions and interact with them. Other than directly skipping past the s*xual harassment comments, she didn’t snub anyone.
“Cooking red-braised pork is a bit more complicated. The pork ribs have to be stir-fried first to seal in the high temperature on outside so that the insides will become especially tender. Cooking gaosheng pork ribs is slightly different. Even people that have never entered the kitchen before will be able to make it after seeing once how it’s made.”
When she got to this point, she paused. “Of course, this is based on the premise you can distinguish sugar and salt from each other. Otherwise, it’ll be better if you stay away from the kitchen.”
[Peak 7638: Lol, if you mix up sugar and salt, you’ll end up exploding your kitchen.]
[Nanako: Oh, so cooking red-braised pork is that particular. Learned something new!]
[What name hasn’t been used?: Is this streamer a professional chef?]
