Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After submitting the ancient book to the authoritative appraisal agency, the staff’s demeanor grew even more solemn. With utmost care, they received the weathered tome from Liao Ning’s hands and placed it within a sealed bag. Instructing Liao Ning and her companions to return in three days to collect the test report, the staff acknowledged that due to the book’s antiquity and numerous holes, the appraisal process would be more challenging than anticipated. To ensure the preservation of the ancient book, they decided to extend the inspection time, erring on the side of caution.
“Jin Xiang, you’ve worked hard. Now, we wait for the test report in three days. Let’s go back, and I’ll treat you to some delectable rosemary roasted lamb chops!” Liao Ning exclaimed, with Jin Xiang trailing behind her.
“Don’t forget to start the live-stream,” Jin Xiang reminded.
“I know, I know!”
“Hello, everyone! I’m your favorite live-streamer, My Child Is The Best. Today, I’m excited to teach you the art of creating mouthwatering rosemary roasted lamb chops.”
[Liao Ning has started the live-stream at last!]
[We stand by you, Liao Ning.]
[We believe in you, Liao Ning. Don’t let the online rumors affect you.]
[Indeed, we trust that Liao Ning did not plagiarize.]
[Thank you, everyone! Thank you for your unwavering support. I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.]
[But what if she did plagiarize?]
[Pudding is an imperial delicacy. It’s unlikely she could replicate it entirely without any plagiarism
Liao Ning’s devoted fans quickly grew dissatisfied with the comments from anti-fans. They swiftly flooded the live-stream’s instant comments, defending Liao Ning and scolding those who accused her.
[Present concrete evidence if you claim Liao Ning plagiarized. Don’t spew baseless accusations!]
[Exactly! Demand the person who started the thread to provide evidence.
Otherwise, they’re simply engaging in slander and defamation!]
[Show us the evidence if you have any!]
[Can you all please stop arguing? It’s disrupting the live-stream!]
[I’m here to learn cooking from the live-streamer. Quit spamming the comments with your quarrels!]
[Take your argument somewhere else. Don’t ruin my cooking experience!]
The heated exchange between fans and anti-fans displeased the neutral viewers, who voiced their frustration in the instant comments, expressing their desire to enjoy the live-stream without distractions.
Aware that she couldn’t allow the argument to persist, as it risked alienating the neutral viewers and fueling more anti -fans, Liao Ning knew she had to intervene. She took a stand, addressing the audience. “Everyone, please calm down. Let’s be rational. I am currently gathering evidence to prove my innocence. The evidence is being appraised and reviewed by the appropriate authorities, and we will have the results in three days. Whether I have truly plagiarized or not will be determined then. For now, what we need to do is wait. In order to prevent the flood of comments from anti-fans that might disrupt the live-stream, I am temporarily disabling the instant comments feature. I hope you understand.”
With a bow of apology to the viewers, Liao Ning instructed Jin Xiang to disable the instant comments function.
“Now, let’s focus on today’s recipe for rosemary lamb chops. We’ll need 480g of lamb chops, 2 teaspoons of rosemary, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 2g of sea salt, and some olive oil.”
Liao Ning proceeded to season the lamb chops with rosemary, black pepper, sea salt, and a drizzle of olive oil.
“After adding these seasonings, give the lamb chops a good massage. This will ensure that the flavors are evenly distributed, making the lamb chops even more delicious. Let them marinate for an hour.”
Once the lamb chops had marinated, Liao Ning proceeded to heat the pan.
“Now that the lamb chops have marinated, it’s time to start cooking them in the hot pan. Once the pan is hot, add a suitable amount of olive oil and place the lamb chops in the pan. Fry them for three minutes on each side. After six minutes in total, they will be ready to serve!”
Liao Ning carefully arranged the fried lamb chops on a plate and garnished them with sprigs of rosemary. Then, she presented them to the camera, offering a virtual treat to her audience.
“This one is for all of you. I want to express my gratitude for your unwavering support. It brings me great joy to connect with all of you through the love of delicious food. Please don’t worry; I won’t let this minor setback deter me. Instead, I will continue to improve myself and bring you even more delectable dishes in the future!”
As Liao Ning elegantly cut small pieces of the roasted lamb with a knife and fork and savored them, the viewers in the live-stream could almost taste the succulent goodness of the lamb chops.
The marinated lamb chops carried the enticing aroma of rosemary and black pepper. They successfully countered the gaminess of the meat, leaving a tender and juicy sensation in every bite.
At that moment, Liao Ning took a sip of the red wine she had prepared. The sweet aroma of the wine, combined with the smoky fragrance of the lamb chops, captivated the audience in the live-stream. Everyone was enchanted by the mouthwatering flavors unfolding before them..
