After Ning Fei had added the tofu, he placed the carrots in, 10 minutes before he removed the wok from the fire.
The freshly boiled fish soup was ready to be served. Ning Fei used a ladle and scooped the fish and soup into a bowl.
Steam was rising from the whitish fish soup that was filled to the brim with ingredients. The deep-bodied herring looked extra delicious nestled amongst the abundant ingredients.
‘Why did I click on this livestream? I’m getting hungry!’
‘I really want to eat that…’
‘Webcaster, can you send me the remaining fish bones later?’
‘Webcaster, you have excellent skills. Bravo!’
‘A man who can cook is truly charming!’
In the webcast room, the viewers all gasped and lavished praise on him.
Ning Fei was pleased with his dish and quickly stole a glance at the screen. He realized that many comments had highlighted his skills with the knife.
As for the reason behind his skills, it was because he had obtained the ultimate skill of slicing!
He soon discovered that with this skill, everything went smoothly during the cooking process. And in his mind, he naturally processed the steps of how he should cook a dish.
“Since everyone is interested in my cutting skills, I shall perform it again.” Ning Fei flashed a toothy smile at the screen.
His words caused another excited commotion amongst the viewers.
Ning Fei was starving, so he took out the pot of rice he had cooked. Next, he took out the preserved vegetables in an earthenware jug. And so, he began to feast on his fish and the preserved vegetables with a bowl of steaming rice.
The deep-bodied herring was huge, so it contributed to the huge serving of the soup. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to finish it all by himself, so he had scooped half of the soup into a thermal container before he began to eat.
A wild deep-bodied herring could fetch a high price, and even the soup in the thermal container would run up to a few thousand yuans if he were to sell it.
After Ning Fei finished dinner, it was nearly eight.
He picked up the thermal container and walked out.
The viewers had no idea what he wanted to do, so they were curious.
Ning Fei said, “Hello viewers, sorry, but the livestream will end now. Tomorrow, I shall start at 9:00 a.m. as usual, and I hope you will continue to support me. I will make it up to all of you by performing my cutting skill tomorrow. I have some urgent last-minute matters to settle. Sorry!”
Ning Fei’s words left everyone taken aback as they hadn’t had enough.
‘Host, please perform before you go!’
‘Webcaster, just a while more! It’s hard to finally find a good webcaster.’
‘Yeah! Just a while longer please!’
‘Host, press on!’
Despite the viewers’ pleas, Ning Fei ended the livestream.
The delicious soup had left him in high spirits, and a warm current seemed to be swimming inside him. Being filled with food was the best feeling in a day.
He trudged down the mountain path while the sky was still rather bright. Here, the nights in summer arrived rather late, and the sky would only turn dark after 8:00 p.m.
Ning Fei wanted to visit someone who lived nearby.
“Grandma Wang, I’m here!” Before Ning Fei entered the courtyard, he yelled warmly with a beaming smile.
At the sound of his voice, a black and white tiny dog came dashing out instantly. It wagged its tail happily and vigorously as though it had just seen its owner.
Ning Fei had deliberately saved a packet of the special pet food for this dog named Snowy. He smiled at the dog before throwing the food into the air.
Snowy was quick on its feet and jumped immediately to catch the food. Snowy barked excitedly several times after it finished the food.
Ning Fei recalled the introduction about the pet food, ‘The wonderful taste has won the unanimous approval of all animals!’ Snowy must have been barking its approval.
He strolled into the house, and a benevolent-looking old lady was inside. At the sight of Ning Fei, a kind smile lit up her face.
Ning Fei wasn’t a saint. There were many lonely old people living in the mountains, and he didn’t care for everyone.
