CHAPTER 143: CHAPTER 50: 9 TURNS OF THE LARGE INTESTINE_2

The sugar had already melted in the hot oil, and only then did Du Xixi pour in the pieces of large intestine. As they slowly turned a charred red from frying in the hot oil, Du Xixi took them out for later use, turning to add chopped scallions, ginger, and garlic to the wok to release their aroma.

The rich fragrance filled the room, and Du Xixi could already hear Miao Miao behind her taking deep breaths through her nose. She couldn’t help but chuckle softly, pouring the prepared sauce into the pan.

The sauce contained soy sauce, salt, sugar, and cooking wine, considered a low-end version of the Nine-Turned Large Intestine sauce. The instant it was poured in, the strong aroma gained a hint of richness. Du Xixi seized the moment, pouring the previously fried large intestine pieces back in. After stirring them a few times, she added in the boiling water.

Once the water boiled, she turned down the heat to let it simmer slowly. Du Xixi covered the pot with its lid, a light smile playing on her lips beneath her mask. From here on out, it was up to time to reduce the sauce.

At the moment, the bullet comments no longer focused on Du Xixi’s process of washing the intestines. Captured by the aroma shared through the stream, all attention was now drawn to her step-by-step cooking process.

[——Ah, it smells so good...

——(Wiping drool... slurp...) Wow, sis, you’re incredible, making intestines smell this nice!

——Suddenly, the sight of those dirty intestines doesn’t seem so unbearable anymore.

——+1, if every intestine could smell this good, I’d watch them every day!

——+1!

——+2!

——+π!

...]

Du Xixi was amused by these people’s "truly fragrant moments." Seeing that many viewers now had no aversion to the pre-washed intestines, she jokingly said, with a laugh, "In that case, how about I make an intestine feast every day from now on? I promise to wash them daily to satisfy you all!"

No sooner had she said that than the bold viewers were daunted.

[——Oh no, I was just kidding~

——Streamer sis, you’re so annoying~ Don’t take it seriously~

——Oh, come on~ We were just saying~

...

——Sorry, those comments above were nauseating...

——The streamer sis is awesome! But let’s skip the intestines feast!

——Hehehe! I think all of sis’s previous dishes are great, perfect for daily consumption! Just... skip the intestines feast, okay!

——Have mercy on us poor souls, streamer sis! Don’t torture us!

...

——If the intestines are clean, I guess I could accept them.

——Previous comment +1!

...]

Du Xixi was just teasing them; making intestines every day would probably exhaust the little piglets Chen Yin worked so hard to raise. Better to take it slow.

Since the Nine-Turned Large Intestine sauce took time to reduce, Du Xixi didn’t intend to stand there the entire time. Seeing that there was still half a pot of broth left to reduce, she instructed 2569 to help finish up later, chatted a bit with the viewers, and then left the kitchen with Miao Miao, stretching her slightly sore waist.

This wasn’t Du Xixi’s first time asking 2569 to "substitute." Whenever her back couldn’t handle standing for long, Du Xixi would sit on the side to wait, or simply enlist the help of 2569 or Rob.

This sort of thing wasn’t typical in the streaming world, but everyone knew Du Xixi was pregnant. Some viewers even clamored to steal Du Xixi from her husband.

However, despite their clamoring, none of the viewers had actually seen what Du Xixi truly looked like.

Du Xixi was incredibly secretive about her identity. If not for the unavoidable footage of her belly while handling ingredients, Du Xixi might well have hidden her pregnancy entirely.

Given how prominent Du Xixi’s baby bump was, she clearly seemed like a weary pregnant woman. Everyone was understanding enough to let her take it easy when necessary, even if a few troublemakers occasionally popped up in the comments, they’d get drowned out by the sheer number of fans.

The smell from the kitchen didn’t seep through the tightly closed kitchen door into the living room. Ke Lian was probably still exercising. However, Ke Xing lifted his head from the not-yet-finished Interstellar Morning News and smiled at Du Xixi and Miao Miao as they walked over, "Finished streaming? Come, sit down!"

Miao Miao had grown accustomed to life at the Ke Family’s place and didn’t feel restrained there. She sat on a single-seat sofa and even found a cushion to hug, playfully swinging her feet beneath her long skirt, suggesting her good mood.

Seeing this, Du Xixi smiled, took the warm water Ke Xing handed her, sipped it, and casually asked, "Dad, are you going out this afternoon?"

It was Ke Xing’s usual habit to go out after lunch and dinner, either for a walk after being too full, to catch up with old friends, or a combination of walking off a full belly while catching up with friends.
