1049 Words
Nguyễn Đường took out a small white porcelain bowl, using a spoon to scoop some out. The once pinkish fish had now turned completely white, and the rice was cooked to a soft mush. A light steam rose from the surface of the porridge.
Viewers in the livestream channel were swallowing their saliva rapidly.
[Thất bảo: I have a feeling... the taste will be amazing.]
[Cat Who Doesn't Eat Fish: I feel like I’m going to have to change my name soon... My mouth isn’t listening to me...]
Sprinkling a bit of finely chopped green onion over the bowl of porridge, Nguyễn Đường placed it on the table, smiling slightly as he said, "Alright, everyone, let’s try the fish porridge. After eating the egg tarts, a bowl of porridge to cleanse the palate feels really comforting."
[Cat Who Doesn't Eat Fish: I can’t resist!]
She let out a pained cry and quickly rushed over. Not even needing a spoon, she grabbed the bowl and drank large mouthfuls.
[Cat Who Doesn't Eat Fish: Oh— it's so good!]
[Can't Hug the Tree: Oh my gosh— I’m about to swallow my tongue QAQ, the more I eat, the hungrier I get. I beg the streamer to open a restaurant, hu hu hu!]
The fresh fish melted in the mouth as soon as it touched the tongue, blending with the soft porridge, making the aroma linger in the mouth. Especially between the fish fillets, there was a thin black skin, so soft it was almost unbelievable. The moment it touched the tip of the tongue, it made people go dazed.
Everyone was absorbed in slurping the porridge, and the livestream channel fell silent for a moment. No one said a word. It wasn’t until a minute later that someone regained their senses and started sending gifts to the streamer. Within a few short minutes, countless Crystal Flowers filled the not-so-large livestream room, with some people even throwing gifts before returning to slurping their porridge.
[Cat Who Doesn't Eat Fish: I’ve decided to change my name to Cat Who Loves Eating Fish! Why is fish so delicious, hu hu hu...]
While everyone was captivated by the fish porridge, Nguyễn Đường seized the moment to try a piece of the egg tart. Though the taste was quite good, he still felt like something was missing. Back when he used to eat egg tarts on the street, they would spread a layer of sweet sauce over them, but the future world didn’t sell that. If he wanted to taste it, it seemed he would have to make it himself.
Nguyễn Đường took out a bowl, poured in an appropriate amount of flour, added water, white sugar, and soy sauce, and poured it into a still-hot pan, cooking it on low heat while stirring continuously.
"Waiting until tiny bubbles appeared in the pan, he used the tip of a chopstick to taste the sauce. Feeling it was still a bit bland, he added a spoonful of sugar and half a spoon of soy sauce.
[Shimmering: What is the streamer doing?]
[Meow Meow doesn’t eat fish: The color of this looks awful, is it really a cake?]
[Seven Treasures: Is this edible? It seems like no eggs were added.]
'I made this sauce to spread over the egg tarts later, it'll taste better when eaten.' Nguyen Duong stirred continuously, and once he tasted the sauce and found it to his liking, he turned off the stove.
He found a small spoon, scooped up a spoonful of the sweet sauce, and drizzled it over the egg tarts, signaling everyone to try it again. This time, the egg tarts tasted several times better than before, now with a sweet and savory flavor that made people wish they could swallow their tongues along with it.
[Hugging a tree but can't: So delicious, so delicious!]
[Meow Meow doesn’t eat fish: This sauce looks ugly, but after tasting it, I can’t believe how good it is! Even better than the ketchup they sell outside!]
Nguyen Duong said, 'Thank you for your gifts, everyone. Today, I’ll be choosing three lucky viewers, each of whom will receive a portion of egg tarts and a small plate of sweet sauce.'
This time, there were hundreds of people in the livestream room, quite different from the cold atmosphere of yesterday. Whether they would get a gift or not was all up to their luck.
Nguyen Duong activated the reward function on the livestream channel. The names of all the viewers encircled him like snowflakes. He reached out three times into the air, and the chosen names gradually grew bigger, glowing golden, while his own name disappeared.
'Congratulations to Flying Over the Low Sky, Seven Treasures, and ID72648. I’ll be making a fresh batch of egg tarts soon, so be sure to check and receive them.'
[Flying Over the Low Sky: Thank you, streamer! Launching a Five-Colored Firework right in front of the streamer!]
Fireworks exploded on the screen, looking incredibly beautiful. Once the fireworks faded, they turned into glittering glass falling down.
A light pink notification appeared in the middle of the screen: 'User Flying Over the Low Sky has gifted the streamer five Five-Colored Fireworks, hurry to the livestream channel to collect the glass!'"
The Five-Color Fireworks is a gift worth one thousand coins. When given, it releases two glass coins and one glass heart worth five hundred coins, and a notification is sent to the entire system. Clicking on the notification will immediately redirect viewers to the livestream channel, making it a powerful tool for gaining popularity.
The number of people flooding into Nguyen Duong's livestream channel surged for the second time.
The Five-Color Fireworks not only boosts popularity by attracting attention but also creates a visually impressive display that draws even more viewers to the livestream. Each time the gift is sent, it enhances the visibility of the channel, encouraging more people to join and engage with the content. As Nguyen Duong's channel gains more exposure, the interaction in the chat becomes more lively, and the viewership count climbs rapidly, marking a significant rise in the channel’s overall influence.
This time, the influx of new viewers was even more overwhelming than before, signaling a growing wave of attention focused on Nguyen Duong.
