I Have a Penglai Immortal Island

"This kitchen used to be from our family's old inn. It's a bit small and the lighting isn't great, but appreciate it while it lasts because it will be demolished and rebuilt soon. Hear the noise outside? The construction next door has started. Once it's finished, we'll begin rebuilding here. Now, about today's soup: if it turns out well, it will invigorate the blood and replenish energy. If it fails... it won't fail, my cooking skills have improved recently."

【LOL, people usually say that when they're doubtful... I'm starting to question the streamer's skills. The little purple people are in danger!】

【'Improved' means not that great】

【If it fails, the little purple people might just have some diarrhea. No big deal】

【These two little purple people are about to become lab rats. What exactly is white dragon? Never heard of it. Is it really safe for patients?】

【Please take care of the bears】

【The streamer's face doesn't look like someone who can cook】

【True, she doesn't seem like she can. I'm an old fan, I can confirm they mostly eat fruit and ready-made food when they go fishing】

Seeing the comments while securing the phone, Zhao Zhao protested, "I can cook, okay? My cooking skills have improved a lot recently!"

She showed the prepared ingredients to the camera one by one, "This is half a pound of fresh Three-Seven Root, ten red dates, some dried tangerine peel, a few slices of ginger, and the chopped white dragon turbot. Now, let's begin. First, the Three-Seven Root..." She glanced at the camera, then quietly took out her phone from her pocket and muttered, "Do I need to peel this?"

【Is she starting to search online? I couldn't hear the last part clearly】

【LOL, does the streamer think we can't tell what she's doing off-camera just by focusing on the stove?】

【Wow, she's really splurging on her brother. Did you see that Three-Seven Root? It might be one or two heads. Huge!】

【Such large Three-Seven Root, she really spent a lot】

The fans didn't know that she chose the smallest piece of Three-Seven Root and cut it in half to avoid drawing too much attention.

Zhao Zhao couldn't find any useful information online; the first few pages were all about selling various types of Three-Seven Root powder and dried Three-Seven Root. She decided to go ahead and stew it directly, as peeling it seemed unnecessary.

"I'll start by slicing the Three-Seven Root and ginger. I've already washed these."

【Impressive knife skills, very steady hands】

【Of course, Zhao Zhao is a martial arts expert. It would be strange if she couldn't handle a knife】

【Is she really a martial arts expert? Did she mention which school or style? I want my kid to learn, but nowadays, most Chinese martial arts schools are fake】

【I've never seen anyone use so much Three-Seven Root. Isn't it usually just a few grams?】

【Fresh Three-Seven Root can be used like this, but using so much is probably because she’s well-off】

She heated oil in the pan, and when it was hot, she added the white dragon turbot to fry. It was a simple step.

But she forgot to pat the fish dry, and the water caused the oil to splatter wildly...

Zhao Zhao quickly stepped back, but the camera was close, and some oil even splashed onto the phone screen, causing the comments to explode with laughter.

【Is that it? Is that it? Hahahahahaha I'm laughing so hard my house is shaking!】

【Who gave Zhao Zhao the confidence to live stream cooking?】

【Maybe it was me, I can only make instant noodles, hahahaha】

【Is our Little Bear's stream going to be a comedy now? Listen, finding your niche is the key to success】

【Gotta say, her reaction speed was impressive】

【Already submitted this to the "Kitchen Disasters" group】

Once the splattering subsided, Zhao Zhao stepped forward to flip the fish pieces and tried to redeem herself, "This is my first time live streaming a stew, I'm a bit nervous and clumsy. Normally, it's fine. My brother even said I could open a shop selling grilled fish."

【Little Bear is a good brother】

【Little Bear is awesome】

【Little Bear is loyal!】

The comments flooded in.

【By the way, what kind of fish is that? It looks delicious, white and peeled?】

【It's not a fish, it's a dragon. Zhao Zhao said it's Three-Seven Root Stewed White Dragon, hahaha】

【Isn't that White Snake?】

【No way, that's too brutal】

【Any culinary experts here? What kind of fish is this?】

【It's probably a sea fish, and they call it White Dragon locally. Different places have different names for the same fish】

As the comments rolled in, Zhao Zhao calmly moved on to the next step, determined to regain her composure.

"Alright, once the fish is golden brown on both sides, add some spring water, just enough. I'll add more since it's for two people. Then add the Three-Seven Root, ginger slices, red dates, and dried tangerine peel. If you're using another type of fish, it's best to add some Shaoxing wine, but I won't today since this fish isn't fishy. Now it's mostly done. Bring it to a boil on high heat, then simmer on low heat, add some salt, and let it cook for a while."

【Hey? That's simple, if someone preps the fish for me, I can do this too】

【Can it taste good without seasoning?】

【This is medicinal food, you can't just add random seasonings. Will it taste good? Probably not】

【Streamer, please tell me, are you cooking white snake in that pot?】

One persistent fan kept repeating the same comment, catching Zhao Zhao's eye. "The pot doesn't contain White Snake; it's her upgraded version, White Dragon. A deep-sea dragon, this is just the tip of its tail, and it's super delicious. When it's done, you'll see. I suggest you order some takeout and eat along with us to avoid getting too hungry."

【I think I'll order some takeout now, you've given me an excuse, here I come, fried chicken】

【Eating dragons is illegal, I'm reporting this】

"Who said eating dragons is illegal? Dragons aren't protected animals. That fan, don't spread false information."

【True, dragons aren't in our animal protection laws, so they can be eaten】

【Where did the streamer catch a dragon? I want to try some wild game too】

After half an hour, a peculiar fragrance wafted through the courtyard. Da Linzi had already hobbled over with utensils, waiting for the soup to be ready. Da Qi, more reserved, stood a step behind him, both peeking into the kitchen.

Zhao Zhao lifted the lid of the clay pot, revealing the snow-white fish pieces, dark red dates, and the creamy white broth. Not only did it smell good, but it also looked delicious.

"My cooking skills are really not bad~" Zhao Zhao proudly served each of the little purple people a big bowl and asked them to do a mukbang.

Xiong Qi tasted White Dragon fish for the first time and immediately joined her culinary fan club.

"Zhao Zhao, your cooking is amazing. This is the best fish soup I've ever had, and the medicinal ingredients make it even better!"

Da Linzi boasted, "I told you Zhao Zhao could open a shop, specializing in grilled fish and steamed fish, and now add fish soup."

But let's be real, the cost is a bit high.

The presentation was so good it made the viewers envious.

【The presentation is really quite good】

【It looks delicious, I can see the genuine joy in the eyes of the little purple people】

【Newcomers might overestimate Little Bear's acting skills. If it wasn't good, he'd say so directly...】

【So it's fish, I see the bones. What about White Snake?】

【What kind of fish is it? Only one bone, the fish meat is snow-white and bouncy, and the broth looks thick and tasty. Despite the two eaters being a bit unsightly, I’m genuinely hungry】

【Can we eat this on Jinshi Island? If so, I'll go next week】

【Opening the food delivery app now, ordering some grilled fish】

Gun Gun was driven crazy by the aroma, rolling around and whining, dragging his food bowl to Zhao Zhao's feet. Zhao Zhao pretended not to see it, but Gun Gun persistently pawed at her feet.

"Didn't you just eat? Gun Gun, you're already chubbier than other dogs your age! There are medicinal ingredients in it, it won't taste good to you, so you can't have it."

Gun Gun didn't believe her, pointing at Da Linzi who was eating happily and tugging on her skirt like a spoiled child.

I don't believe you; look at how much he's enjoying it!

Yaoguang summarized in two words: "Foodie."

【Foodie, hahahaha, familiar disdain from the parrot】

【The dog isn't easy to fool. Eating so deliciously without sharing, and then trying to trick me into thinking it's not tasty?】

【I don't believe that Gun Gun isn't smart; it even knows how to point at others to ask for food...】

【Nonsense, Gun Gun isn't fat!】

【Gun Gun fans have sent a yacht as a gift. Please give Gun Gun a bite! Don't make me beg you】

【Don't be biased, everyone who sees should get a share】

【Little Bear, share some with your brother】

Having just finished eating, Gun Gun, supported by the fans, managed to get a big piece of white dragon fish and a bowl of soup.
