Chapter 107: Snow Fungus With Fruits In Milk

After the whole ingredient-eating fiasco by Su Yayan, the audience of her live broadcast finally realized that red dates and young lotus seeds could be eaten raw!

They were no longer squabbling about the availability of these herbal medicine ingredients and began taste-testing hastily.

[Mmm, the dates are really sweet. They would make the best snacks! Really can’t stop myself from popping one after the other into my mouth.]

[I prefer these pearly lotus seeds. They have such a unique crunch to them that could keep me munching on them for quite a while!]

Some were even so curious they quietly taste-tested the remaining Ginseng.

[This Ginseng is so bitter that I almost spat it out when I first taste it. Even so, I realized the bitterness fades after a while and it’s replaced with a unique type of lingering sweetness.]

Instantly, the topic of conversation changed. They were all discussing and sharing about the taste of the ingredients and their likings, completely forgetting about what they were questioning before.

Su Yayan saw that their attention was diverted and stopped her infuriating act of snacking on herbal medicine ingredients. She placed all the necessary ingredients in the pot, added water, and allowed it to stew while she cooked some vegetable dishes.

At the beginning of the livestream, Su Yayan mentioned that there were elderly people at home, so her cooking would prioritize the elderly.

After contemplating for a long while, Su Yayan has decided to serve four dishes and a soup, which were Garlic-Roasted Eel Slices, Sauteed Tomato and Cauliflower, Stir Fry Celery with Tofu, Tangerine Peel Beef and Pumpkin Millet Porridge.

Although the herbal medicine ingredients at hand were not greatly incorporated in these dishes, garlic, eel, tomatoes, celery, tofu, and beef were ingredients that were kind to the elderlies’ digestive systems, so it was recommended.

The audience of her livestream was delighted to see Su Yayan prepare so many dishes. Most importantly, the ingredients of the dishes she had prepared were accessible, so even if they did not win the lucky draw, they could buy the ingredients and try it for themselves.

The only dish that was puzzling for them was probably the Tangerine Peel Beef.

Tangerines were available to them in this era of time, but the impression most of the people have towards tangerines was, they were simply a type of fruit.

They would eat the flesh but discard the skin since it was not needed.

“Tangerine peels are the end product of sun-drying the outmost layer of tangerines. The processed tangerine peels have a tangy-sweet but subtly bitter taste and are a pretty good option to add to tea or soups. It increases appetite, helps with blood circulation, and aids digestion.”

Su Yayan’s words triggered another avalanche of excited comments.

[I never knew tangerine peels were edible! Felt like I’ve thrown away ten million dollars!]

[I know right! I’ve always eaten the tangerine flesh and discarded the peel. Come to think of it, my heart hurts!]

[I don’t care, imma buy a catty of tangerines to deskin and dry in the sun!]

[How is one catty enough? I’m getting three catties!]

[i’ve already placed an order for ten catties. They will be arriving soon. Yay!]

[I worship you, tycoons above. You said you bought ten catties of tangerines just like how you would say ‘I’ve bought ten portions of nutrition shake’. I envy I’m jealous I loathe.]

At this moment, little did Su Yayan know that because of what she had said, the demand for tangerines in the market skyrocketed, and shortly after that, it was hard to even get one’s hands on a tangerine.

Unlike the long time needed to boil soup, making dishes was significantly less time-consuming. The two soups were done by the time Su Yayan finished cooking the four dishes and the porridge.

Su Yayan looked at the time and saw that she had finished earlier than expected, so she moved on to dessert — Snow Fungus With Fruits In Milk.
