It wasn’t long before my uncle ca out holding a small basin.
In the basin was a handful of pickled long beans that had turned yellow, a couple of sour radishes giving off a tangy sll, and additionally, a few stalks of sour bamboo shoots and so Pickled Peppers.
"Did these all co from the sa jar?"
"No, several jars. They just got mixed together when they were scooped out."
After receiving them, Lin Xu continued to prepare the ingredients needed for the Snail Noodles.
The beans were rinsed with water on both sides, washing away the excess salt from the sourness, then chopped into fine pieces, poured into a pan without oil, and stir-fried together with dried chili pieces for a while.
This process would allow the excess sourness of the beans to evaporate, making the sour and fragrant flavor more llow and the taste more delicious.
After dealing with the beans, he washed the sour radishes and diced them, and cut the sour bamboo into strips.
The ingredients required for the Snail Noodles were all prepared.
If you were eating this in Liu Zhou, you could actually add fried egg, fried dry tofu, fried pig’s feet, and other ingredients, but these were not essential additions. Plus, there was not enough ti, so he did not prepare them.
With these preparations done, the Spicy Snails in the pot were already cooked.
After turning off the heat, he dished out so. Lin Xu, using his chopsticks, picked up a snail, brought it to his lips, and gently sucked. The at, along with the spicy broth, was drawn into his mouth.
"Mm, not bad, the flavor is just right."
The Doubanjiang had salt, so Lin Xu did not add extra salt during cooking. He had thought it would be bland, but it turned out to be just perfect with the right balance of salty and spicy flavors.
After eating, there was a faint sweetness in his mouth, making one want to eat more.
"Let taste it quickly, I haven’t tried it yet."
Lin Xu picked up a snail with his chopsticks and offered it toward the cara again.
In the barrage of comnts, there was a chorus of "ah," as viewers attempted to snatch the snail away.
However, to everyone’s disappointnt, the snail was accurately delivered to Shen Baobao’s mouth.
"Just suck at the opening of the snail, and the at will co out. Try it; if you can’t, I’ll find you a toothpick."
Shen Baobao gave it a try and managed to suck out the at on her first attempt.
"Wahaha! It’s so tasty, I want more!"
Her voice had barely faded when a notification rang in Lin Xu’s mind:
"Host has made a dish that pleased his fiancée, completing the reward mission [Spicy Snails], earning one Excellent Level seafood cuisine draw. Would you like to draw now?"
Tch, it’s finally complete.
As for drawing a prize, I’ll forget about it for now.
Lin Xu glanced at Dundun playing with the little crab in the yard. I’ll do it later while holding Dundun; it feels safer to draw prizes with my son around.
Putting aside his thoughts, he fed Shen Baobao a few more snails, to the viewers’ vocal envy, as they declared today’s live stream overwhelmingly sweet.
"Aaah, it’s just too sweet!"
"The sweet love I dream about is being played out by Boss Lin and the boss’s wife."
"Ugh, this livestream has driven my blood sugar over thirty."
"Watching the livestream with my boyfriend cracking sunflower seeds next to , I asked him to feed one like Boss Lin, but he shoved a handful of seed shells into my mouth, Boo hoo hoo..."
"Break up, it’s my turn now!"
"Break up, it’s my turn now!"
"Break up, it’s my turn now!"
"..."
By this ti, it was already six in the evening. Unknowingly, he had been streaming for several hours.
Lin Xu said, "Today’s live stream is about done, my phone is getting hot, so let’s call it a day. I’ll live stream the cooking of a whole roasted lamb tomorrow morning."
Although he was used to live streaming, he still felt sowhat constrained when eating in front of the cara, particularly since his parents, older sister Yuanyuan, and others were coming over later. Continuing the live stream during dinner would make the whole family uncomfortable.
The viewers were naturally not very willing to part ways.
Lin Xu said with a smile, "If you’re bored, you can go to Lin Ji’s Food topic to check in and post updates. I’ll give likes when I’m free, and also share so food photos and tips."
After speaking, he thanked his friends and family for their gifts and concluded today’s broadcast.
Shen Baobao put down her phone and picked up the bowl of Spicy Snails.
She imitated Lin Xu, picking up a snail with her chopsticks and sucking it lightly; the snail flesh mixed with broth was drawn into her mouth.
"Wahaha! The more I eat, the more delicious it gets. It feels even more satisfying than eating crayfish."
Crayfish required a lot of manual work, needing both hands when eating, which precluded doing anything else.
But slurping snails was easy; you could do it while scrolling on your phone, watching TV, or even while watching a movie, with no restrictions.
And most importantly, there’s only so much snail at.
No matter how much you eat, you won’t feel stuffed, allowing one to continuously enjoy the pleasure of eating.
"Xu Bao, you eat too!"
Lin Xu wiped his hands and said, "You eat first, I’m going to check on Dundun."
Without doing the prize draw, he felt like sothing was left undone.
Upon going outside, he discovered Dundun had sohow moved the little crab to the edge of the water basin and was now busily scooping water from the basin onto the crab with its paw.
On seeing Lin Xu approach, the little fellow promptly owed, "OW!"
"What’s the matter, kiddo?"
Lin Xu walked over and took a glance, only to find that the little crab was motionless, either from exhaustion due to Dundun’s antics or from the heat.
It didn’t react even as Dundun poured water over it.
This is...
Lin Xu picked it up to check and said to Dundun, "The little crab is missing ho, let’s take it back, shall we?"
Starting up the commuting car in the yard, with Dundun accompanying him, he went to the reservoir. He placed the little crab into the water, whereupon the crab, having been in a state of suspended animation, imdiately swam away.
