Chapter 36 The Simplest Dish
Chapter 36 The Simplest Dish
At 12:10 pm, Ye Fei finally received the notification from DCB System to begin his broadcast.
Actually, there were already plenty of people loitering about on the channel. Naturally, these were all foodies and there were plenty of familiar names here.
As the only person with the special privilege to speak directly to Ye Fei over the mike, Tasting Everything Under Heaven was nearly incoherent with excitement.
When Ye Fei finally stood up and made his way to the kitchen, Tasting Everything Under Heaven shouted, Deity Ye, what are you making today, ah?
Ye Fei shook his head, Dont know yet.
Tasting Everything Under Heaven, f*ck, youre still not going to reveal anything even now? Looks like were going to receive a surprise again. I look forward to Deity Yes performance. Dont worry, Im all
prepared to give all the gifts.
Just then, local tyrant I Am a Foodie put up a message, Today, I have prepared a budget of HX100,000. Deity Ye, dont let me down.
All chatter within the channel forum disappeared in the wake of I Am a Foodies message. Exactly 3 seconds later, chaos exploded again.
F*ck, youve prepared 100,000?!
Your mom, Foodie Bro, local tyrant! Youre a supreme local tyrant, ah. My god in heaven, youre so generous, ah
Foodie Bro, can I hug your thigh? What do you do? Can I clean your toilets? Rest assured, I shall never reveal what type of toilet paper you use.
Todays live broadcast is really going to reach the heavens. The show hasnt even started yet but someone is already prepared to bestow HX100,000, ah. Isnt this something like a m*therf*cking myth?
Tao Ties username lit up as he sent up a bitterly smiling emoji. Foodie Bro, please dont hit me. Ive only prepared HX50,000. Dont laugh, ah.
Everyone else,
HX50,000?
Your sis, just what day is today, ah? Yell out local tyrant and two of them jumped out. The one prepared to give out HX50,000 felt ashamed? That kind of money is something that even Silver Star Deities dare not think about, ah. This newcomer Ye Fei, a newly promoted Bronze Star Rank 2 broadcaster is so loved by his fans, what a blow to other broadcasters, ah.
After looking at the messages from I Am a Foodie and Tao Tie, Tasting Everything Under Heave smiled into his microphone and said, Brothers, looks like you guys are true foodies, ah. For the sake of delicious food, you treated gold like mud. Still, I like this attitude. This is the mark of a true foodie. I have not prepared much today. I run a small business and cant be compared to local tyrants. A modest HX80,000 only. After that, he addressed Ye Fei, Deity Ye, please dont disdain me for preparing too little, ah.
Ye Fei,
Your mom, this is preparing too little? If I disdain you for this, wouldnt other broadcasters form a mob and destroy me?
Thats fine, Ye Fei was brimming with excitement, but somehow managed to remain calm on the surface. After all, with so many fans watching him, he cant show his greed for money too openly, right?
Im happy that so many people are here to support me, Ye Fei. I wont waste your time with any more nonsense. Lets start the live broadcast!
With that, Ye Fei entered the kitchen. Just like the previous two times, although Ye Fei had made some mental preparations, he was still curious about what kind of ingredients System would give him.
He crouched down and opened the storage box. When he
spotted the ingredients of the day, his eyes lit up. There were two different ingredients inside the box tomatoes and eggs.
Two extremely common ingredients that Ye Fei also liked
very much. Thats because he often made Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes for himself. He was actually quite proficient with home-cooked dishes, Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes being one of them.
Do you want me to make Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes? muttered Ye Fei as he took out the ingredients.
DCB Systems voice said, Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes is a Level 1 Limited Delicacy. Though it is easy to make, it is a difficult dish to master. Since eggs would emit fragrance when fried, the Host should activate the Ten Thousand Mile Fragrance Skill here.
Ye Fei thought that this was sound advice. When using real locally farmed chicken eggs, even with regular blended peanut oil, eggs could be very fragrant when fried.
Then, Ill make Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes. By the way, is there anything special about these eggs and tomatoes?
Ye Fei has caught on to the fact that ingredients provided by the System were no ordinary things at all. The single tomato was large, red and shone with a natural lustre. It did not look like it had been waxed like most soft perishables fruits and vegetables to preserve their appearance. It should at least be some kind of organically grown and collected food.
The eggs, two of them, were also very large. Their white shells were shiny and glossy looking. A single glance was enough to tell that these were no ordinary eggs.
Sure enough, DCB System said, The origin of the eggs and tomatoes have been integrated into the Hosts memories. Skills to make Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes have also been loaded up.
Right, now its up to me.
At that, Ye Fei placed both eggs and tomato on the table. He took out a white ceramic pot and a white ceramic bowl from the other storage box.
When everyone saw the large and round tomato as well as
the two white eggs from the storage box, they immediately guessed what Ye Fei was about to make.
Yi~~ Is Deity Ye going to make Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes today?
This dish is too common. Theres nothing unique about it.
Thats true, ah. Its so simple that anyone with an ounce of skill could make it.
Deity Ye, we strongly request a different dish. Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes is too ordinary.
Aiyo, if I had known that todays dish is Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes, I wouldnt have come. I never liked eggs even as a child.
I dont eat tomatoes,
While everyone was chattering to each other about the matter, I Am a Foodie sent up a message. Everyone, have you already forgotten
Deity Yes signature move? The ingredients he used have never been anything but top quality. Since he had decided to make Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes, I suspect the origins of those eggs and that tomato cant be simple, right?
Tasting Everything Under Heaven also chimed up, The tomato is large, round and the colour perfect with no evidence of a waxy surface to impede the natural lustre on its skin. Regardless of its origin, its definitely the best of its kind. As for the eggs, they are large, white
with not a single flaw on shells that are so thin and fine that I could see the yolks inside. No doubt, this is a super high-grade egg.
Tasting Everything Under Heavens eloquent description was spoken through the mike and was thus heard by everyone in the channel.
Where, at first, everyone had disdained the simple ingredients, but after his explanation, they paid better attention to the tomato and eggs
and had to admit that Ye Feis ingredients definitely did not look ordinary.
Ye Fe smiled at Tasting Everything Under Heavens words and said, Brother, youre right. For todays Scrambled Eggs with Tomatoes, I
shall be using wild tomatoes from the Golden River Plains. [1] For those who are familiar with the Golden River Plains, you should know the peculiarity of this area. The soil is rich with organic matter with a PH value of 7. Thats neutral, you know? The annual temperature here is a stable 20 to 25 degrees Celsius with soil humidity of 75% and air humidity between 45 to 50%. These are the best conditions for tomatoes to grow. Only in the Golden River Plains that wild tomatoes could grow well in such a harsh location and yet still be better looking and have much higher nutrient content than normal tomatoes.
The moment Ye Fei finished speaking, a luxury plane nyoomed across the screen.
There was no need to check who the person responsible for this plane was. It could only be the eccentric and brash local tyrant, I Am a Foodie.
Sure enough, after throwing out a plane, I Am a Foodie said, I once saw this information in a food magazine. According to the article, they say that Golden River Plain is indeed the most suitable place to grow tomatoes. If you can get your hands on tomatoes, moreover, wild-growing tomatoes from this mecca or tomatoes, presenting a plane is only respectful.
With connoisseurs started throwing rewards, the people below naturally refused to be left behind. Although not many of them know where the Golden River Plains was, after hearing Ye Fei and I Am a Foodies incredible exposition and seeing the plane gifted by I Am a Foodie zooming across the screen, they felt they had to extend some reward too.
Ye Fei had no idea that I Am a Foodie as well as a group of viewers had already started showering him with gifts. After all, none of these people was equipped with mikes and their loud exclamations were limited to all caps and exclamations marks only.
After introducing the tomato, Ye Fei picked up the egg and said, This egg is from the Red-tail Chicken of the foothills of the Southern Cangshan region.
What?!
Only the loud exclamation from Tasting Everything Under Heaven was heard, but in fact, I Am a Foodie was also shocked. Hearing Tasting Everything Under Heavens exclamation, Ye Fei smiled and said, Looks like Tasting Heaven Bro knows about this egg. Why dont you help me introduce it?
Tasting Everything Under Heaven was so excited that he was nearly incoherent. I- I- I say, I say, e-enough talk. I will talk, you guys listen.
Viewers from the channel nearly fainted with anger. Hey, in this space, only you and Deity Ye could be heard, you know? Even if we want to talk, its not like anyone could hear us!
[Gumihou: Lol, Im invested too.]
[1] Golden River Plains this place does not exist As for wild tomatoes being large, round and perfect
Gumihou: thats some incredible marketing hype. Wild tomatoes are tiny, and more like cherry tomatoes.
PH value of 7 for soil is impossible for a place rich with organic matter. This is basically a skinny full cream black latte kind of soil.
This fantasy ingredient is full of bs.
However, Gumihou doesnt hate it. Its fake, but its so clearly fake and doesnt take itself seriously that Gumi is more amused than angry.
