Chapter 86: Sweet and Sour Fish
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
[Liao Ning is broadcasting!]
[What a pity. I’ve already drunk the nutrient solution today.]
[Liao Ning, are you planning to teach us what to cook today?]
“Today, I plan to use the fish delivered by the farm yesterday to teach everyone how to make sweet and sour fish.”
[The vinegar is sour, and the sugar is sweet. How can sour and sweet fish be delicious?]
[Don’t worry, no matter how strange the ingredients are, Liao Ning can always make them delicious.]
Liao Ning began to deal with the few fish in the basin. She fished out a fish from the basin and quickly knocked it out. Then, she scraped off the fish scales and finally cut open the fish’s stomach to take out its internal organs and throw them away. Finally, she washed the fish’s abdominal cavity.
[Liao Ning deals with fish so quickly!]
[Every time I see Liao Ning process the ingredients, I try to learn the technique carefully. Unfortunately, it takes me half an hour to merely process the fish.] “Practice makes perfect. Let’s try a few more times.”
After Liao Ning processed the remaining fish the same way and placed them in a washed basin, she placed the chopped onions and ginger slices in and poured a spoonful of seasoning wine into it to marinate them evenly for ten minutes.
“During the ten minutes of marinating the fish, everyone can prepare the batter for the fried fish.”
Liao Ning put an egg into a bowl, then added a spoonful of starch, a spoonful of flour, and half a bowl of water. After mixing them evenly, the paste was ready. Next, Liao Ning took out the marinated fish and wrapped it evenly.
“Everyone, you have to make this batter more viscous. Otherwise, you can’t hang it on the fish without sticky batter.”
[What if I accidentally add too much water when making the batter?] [I wanted to ask that too.]
“Don’t be afraid. If you accidentally put too much water, you can add some
flour and stir until the batter becomes sticky.”
[I see. Why didn’t I think of that?!]
[I didn’t think of that either. My mother almost poured out the batter just now.]
[Previous poster, hurry up and get your mother to add flour!]
“Next, we can start heating the oil in the pot. Once the oil starts to bubble, we can lower the heat and carefully place the fish in to fry. Fry the fish until both sides turn golden brown, then remove it from the oil and let it cool.” Liao Ning carefully scooped out the fish.
“Next, prepare a clean pot. Add three spoonfuls of ketchup, three spoonfuls of white sugar, two spoonfuls of soy sauce, four spoonfuls of vinegar, and a bowl of water. Stir the mixture thoroughly, then heat it on the stove until the sauce thickens.”
[How much water is in a bowl?]
[I’m not sure either. How big is a spoon?]
Upon seeing the questions in the comments, Liao Ning patiently responded, “The spoon I’m using is a small spoon typically used to measure salt during livestreams. As for the bowl, since I made a larger quantity of fish this time, I used a medium-sized bowl typically used for stir-frying dishes. If you’re making just one fish, you can use the smaller bowl that livestreamers usually use to serve rice.”
After the sweet and sour sauce had boiled, Liao Ning poured it over the fish that was already arranged on a plate. Instantly, the flavors of the sweet and sour sauce and the crispy aroma of the fried fish blended together, tantalizing the audience through the sensory sharing feature in the livestream. “Nai Nai, come and bring the bowls and chopsticks. It’s time to eat!”
As soon as Liao Ning called out to her assistant, the young cub rushed over, grabbing three bowls and three sets of chopsticks before darting off again. [Huh? Why does the cub need three sets of cutlery for three people?] [I saw it too.]
[Could it be that there are guests at the livestreamer’s house today?]
[I’m not sure. I think so.]
“Thank you.”
[Wait, why do I hear a man’s voice?]
[Is Liao Ning in love?!]
[No way, no way!]
[What? Someone wants to snatch Liao Ning from me? I can’t tolerate it!]
Liao Ning finished tidying up the kitchen and glanced up. She noticed that everyone in the livestream was questioning if she was in a relationship and why they could hear a man’s voice.
For a moment, Liao Ning was unsure how to respond. She looked over at Zhou Ling, who was arranging the tables and chairs.
Zhou Ling caught Liao Ning’s gaze and without overthinking, he asked, “What’s the matter?”
His voice carried a sense of calmness and authority. It effortlessly traveled from the living room to the kitchen, reaching the ears of the livestream viewers even clearer than the previous “thank you.”
The viewers seemed to have stumbled upon a new revelation. The livestream chat was quickly flooded with exclamation marks..
