The lobsters were caught, and now it was time to make them delicious.
It was getting late, so Lu Wanqing took the little one back and started preparing.
First, she washed the rice and put it in the pot, started a fire, and had Xiao Yi watch the flames while she began cleaning the lobsters. She wanted to turn the lively lobsters into delicious five-spice and spicy crayfish, and to do that, she first had to clean them thoroughly.
Remove the intestinal tract, wash the lobster bellies clean, and then prepare the ingredients. Heat the oil and put them in the pot!
As Lu Wanqing cooked, the viewers in the livestream were captivated. Everyone watched intently. Having learned from yesterday's experience, they didn't want to miss a single moment. They were especially eager to know how the terrifying Zerg were turned into delicious food by their goddess!
Lu Wanqing didn't keep them in suspense for too long. Seeing many people asking in the bullet comments, she smiled and explained everything, telling them when to add which seasoning. What was supposed to be a simple livestream had unintentionally turned into a gourmet broadcast, and more importantly, the viewers were thoroughly enjoying themselves.
Seeing their reactions, Lu Wanqing felt more convinced than ever that her plan was feasible. If Mu Jie could arrange for people to make a batch of kitchenware, it would surely sell very well!
Even if the Mu family didn't specialize in kitchenware, they could collaborate with other manufacturers. It was all about making money!
Moreover, after these kitchenware pieces were sold, perhaps more people in the interstellar era would remember Earth, and the eras when humans once lived there. After all, that was the origin of humanity, her home!
Lu Wanqing made two portions of crayfish with different seasonings, resulting in different flavors. One was five-spice, and the other was spicy!
"Even with the same ingredient, the taste can vary greatly with different seasonings, each with its own unique characteristics," Lu Wanqing said with a smile to the viewers after she finished.
While she was making the crayfish, the white rice in the pot next to it was already done. Lu Wanqing took out two plates, scooped out the rice, and placed them on the table in the room, pairing them with the two plates of crayfish she had just made. The aroma was intoxicating.
As it was time to eat, the bullet comment section became lively with many messages.
"Are we going to activate the shared empathy mode?"
"Anyone want to team up for shared empathy mode?"
"Sob sob sob, I'm still so scared, what should I do? This is Zerg! Zerg!!!"
"...The Federation doesn't lie to the Federation! I'm scared too, this is Zerg! Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle!!!"
"Seeing the comments from the people above, I suddenly felt relieved. It's not just me who's scared. Catching them was one thing; I felt like I could just close my eyes and it would be fine, as long as it was through the screen, the Zerg couldn't really do anything to me!"
"Most importantly, the goddess is still there. She was fine last time she caught them, so there's no reason she'd have trouble this time. But catching is one thing, and eating is another. Thinking about eating them makes me so scared, right?"
"Exactly, exactly! Scared!!!"
"Scared +10001111"
Lu Wanqing was also watching the comments, and finding everyone so scared made her laugh. "They're really delicious, everyone, don't be afraid. I would never lie to you."
The viewers in the livestream looked at her bright smile and felt complicated. Was this about deliciousness? The issue was that the thing being eaten was Zerg! Zerg!!!
"Ahhh, can someone try it first? Tell me after you've tried it, and then I'll try!" a comment floated out.
"Yeah, yeah, I want to wait too. Is anyone in the livestream brave enough to try first? Can you guys try it, tell us how it is, and then we'll go experience it!" a second comment followed, showing the owner's apprehension.
Little Zhong Liyi was also watching the comments, and seeing everyone so scared, he couldn't help but proudly say, "They're really not scary, and they're delicious! Zerg are super delicious!"
Lu Wanqing's eyelids twitched, and she quickly explained, "Not Zerg, they're crayfish!"
"There are many types of Zerg. Crayfish might just be one type. It's not poisonous and tastes good when cooked, so it's edible. But other Zerg may not be the same. You absolutely cannot let your guard down just because of crayfish," Lu Wanqing said seriously.
Little Zhong Liyi was stunned by his mother's words, looking at her blankly and innocently.
Lu Wanqing took a deep breath and said seriously, "Xiao Yi, did you understand what Mommy said?"
Little Zhong Liyi thought for a while, then nodded seriously, "Yes, I understood."
"Then tell me again, what did Mommy just say, and what should you pay attention to?" Lu Wanqing asked sternly.
Xiao Yi was different from ordinary children. Most children might live in their comfort zones their whole lives and never encounter Zerg. But Xiao Yi grew up in a military family and was likely to join the military himself in the future, possibly even going to the battlefield like Zhong Lifei Yu, fighting against tens of thousands of Zerg. She couldn't influence him to mistakenly think all Zerg were delicacies, otherwise, if he encountered poisonous Zerg, it could harm him.
Little Zhong Liyi also became serious. He said gravely, "Mommy, I understand. Only crayfish are edible. Other Zerg are still Zerg, very scary, and cannot be eaten!"
Lu Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief and gently ruffled her son's hair, her tone softening. "Xiao Yi, Mommy isn't trying to scold you, I just want you to remember that Zerg are Zerg, and crayfish are crayfish. They are different. If you encounter Zerg you don't recognize, you absolutely must not eat them."
"Okay," Xiao Yi promised seriously.
In the bullet comment section, netizens also sighed.
"Wuwuwu, Goddess Wanqing looks so fierce when she's serious, I'm a little scared~"
"Agreed, I'm a little scared too. I used to think Goddess was so gentle, I didn't expect her to be so stern when serious."
"Miss Lu is doing this for Xiao Yi's own good. Xiao Yi is still young. If he mistakenly believes that all Zerg are... like crayfish, and then when he grows up and goes to the battlefield like his father, wouldn't that be a disaster?"
"What the person above said made me imagine a scene: Grown-up Xiao Yi finally goes to the battlefield, pulls out a pot, starts a fire, cooks all the Zerg on the battlefield, and then all the soldiers have a feast right there on the battlefield, hahaha!!!"
"Pfft, hahaha, I can't help but imagine that scene too. It's just too funny, hahahaha."
"Hahahaha, it is indeed very funny. But Goddess Wanqing is right. The Zerg on the battlefield are very different from these little shrimp. Xiao Yi really shouldn't let his guard down against Zerg just because these crayfish are delicious. If he gets into the habit of thinking all Zerg on the battlefield are edible, then it's game over!"
After educating her son, Lu Wanqing looked up at the bullet comments and saw everyone laughing heartily. Her mouth twitched slightly, but she still looked into the camera and seriously reminded the viewers, "Everyone, don't underestimate the Zerg. Crayfish are just a very weak type of Zerg, and they are not poisonous, so they are edible. However, there are many other Zerg that are very terrifying, and they might be poisonous. If you happen to encounter them, you must not let your guard down."
