Chapter 178 - 178: Despicable Man
Liao Ning adopted an expression of anger and spoke with a serious tone, “It must be small. It must be small! Important things need to be reiterated three times! Also, everyone, use the same level of heat as I do in the future. Otherwise, not only will it result in wasted ingredients, but it will also hinder your culinary skills from progressing!”
[Let me see who made Liao Ning so angry. Oh, it was because I was too rebellious. I should have obediently followed Liao Ning’s instructions.]
[I made the same mistake. I shouldn’t have sacrificed precision for speed.] [Now everyone understands the importance of controlling the heat!]
[I get it now, I get it.]
Liao Ning smiled gently at the viewers who acknowledged their mistakes. “It’s great that everyone recognizes their errors and is willing to make changes.
Let’s proceed to the next step.”
After frying the prawns until both sides turned golden, Liao Ning added 20g of white wine, black pepper grains, and a pinch of salt to the pan, continuing to stir-fry. Only when the prawn meat was evenly coated with these seasonings did Liao Ning incorporate the orange meat sauce that she had prepared earlier. She continued to stir-fry, ensuring that the sauce fully enveloped the prawn meat.
“Lastly, slice the remaining oranges thinly and place the cooked prawn meat on top of the slices. Finally, grate some orange zest on it using a fine grater. And there you have it—the fragrant Orange, Black Garlic, and Mustard Prawn is complete!”
Today, as the two cubs were still in school, Zhou Ling, who happened to be at home on her day off, served as the taste tester.
[Colonel Zhou and the live-streamer make such a great couple. They should get married right away!]
[No way, Liao Ning belongs to us. We can’t let anyone take her away!]
[Although I don’t want Liao Ning to be taken away, Colonel Zhou and Liao Ning really complement each other! ]
[I hope they can be together too!]
[Everyone, let’s calm down for a moment. Let me say something. This Orange, Black Garlic, and Mustard Prawn is simply divine!!]
[Oh no, I forgot to enable sensory tube sharing. No wonder I couldn’t taste it after waiting for so long!]
As Zhou Ling savored the delectable Orange-Black Garlic Mustard Prawns, he kept an eye on the live-stream’s instant comments from the viewers. Upon noticing that some viewers hadn’t activated the sensory sharing mode to taste the dish, unsure whether they should let go of Liao Ning, a mischievous smile formed on his lips.
Zhou Ling’s smile was quite noticeable, and a few sharp-eyed viewers could discern his hidden amusement.
[Wait, I saw Colonel Zhou smile secretly just now. Is he proud to have a wonderful girlfriend like Liao Ning?]
[I noticed it too. I suspect he’s not only proud of having such a great girlfriend, but he’s also delighted that he gets to savor her culinary creations!]
[They even taunted us for being single and missing out on these delicious dishes!]
[Stop talking. It’s starting to make me mad!]
[This guy is so annoying. How dare he snatch Liao Ning away and mock us while enjoying her delicacies?!]
[I’m so miserable. I’m single and don’t even have tasty food to enjoy!!] [So once a guy gets a girlfriend, he starts acting all smug like this?]
[Colonel Zhou Ling, where did your aloof image go?!]
Upon seeing the instant comments in the live-stream, Liao Ning realized that most of them were complaining about Zhou Ling’s smugness. She turned to look at Zhou Ling and noticed the self-satisfied expression on his face.
Suddenly, Liao Ning understood why the viewers were so worked up. If she had witnessed her favorite live-streamer being snatched away and the snatcher wearing such a smug expression, Liao Ning couldn’t help but clench her fists involuntarily.
However, Zhou Ling couldn’t contain his excitement in that moment and continued to playfully tease his fans.
Liao Ning overheard his words.
“Thank you all for your concern. My relationship with Ningning has always been rock solid. I’m confident that with my unwavering dedication, Ningning will eventually say yes to marrying me!”
As he spoke, Zhou Ling flashed his pearly white teeth at the camera, sporting a smile reminiscent of a besotted high schooler experiencing their first love.
Initially, upon hearing Zhou Ling’s words, the live-stream viewers’ fingers began to dance across their keyboards, ready to launch a counterattack. However, as they caught sight of Zhou Ling’s infectious smile, they instinctively deleted the words they had composed.
Witnessing Zhou Ling’s innocent grin, the viewers couldn’t help but reminisce about their own first loves.
As the viewers became lost in their nostalgic musings, they failed to react to the ongoing instant comments. Sensing the situation, Jin Xiang discreetly signaled to Liao Ning, urging her to end the live-stream promptly.
Having received Jin Xiang’s message, Liao Ning swiftly addressed the camera,
“Until next time!”
Following her farewell, Liao Ning promptly concluded the live-stream, leaving the viewers with no time to react..
