Chapter 242: Chapter 83: Return_2
But there were more people than expected, posting some annoying comments in the barrage. For these types of viewers, Du Xixi and the real fans of the livestream just ignored them.
As the attention waned, those haters jumping around and random trolls became lazy and left the scene, making Du Xixi’s livestream a harmonious place, enhancing the learning atmosphere of cooking significantly.
In today’s livestream, Du Xixi was teaching everyone how to hone their Knife Skills.
"As the saying goes, ’Rome wasn’t built in a day,’ and achieving good Knife Skills also takes time and effort." Du Xixi picked up a kitchen knife and showed it to the livestream’s perspective, "There are many techniques in Knife Skills, and naturally, many types of knives are used as well."
"Chef’s knife, boning knife, cleaver, slicing knife, peeling knife, skinning knife, bone chopper, boning knife, pork knife, roast meat knife..." Du Xixi reminisced about those ancestral notes she memorized as a child, feeling quite nostalgic, "But in fact, I only use one knife."
"Does anyone remember the ’very important mentor’ I always mentioned? That’s right, he’s making an appearance today." Du Xixi picked up a sizable potato, placed it on the cutting board, and efficiently sliced it into julienne strips.
A potato that was just a moment ago so large suddenly turned into slices, and then into strips in the blink of an eye, like magic, causing the livestream audience to marvel no matter how many times they’ve seen it.
Du Xixi picked up a piece of beef to demonstrate her Knife Skills. The soft beef, under her control, seemed like obedient wood, and as the knife passed over it, the beef slices fell off like wooden shavings.
"He told me, a chef never judges a dish by the tools or ingredients, but by whether the chef’s intentions are in place. Only with genuine intent to make good food can one use the simplest ingredients and tools to create satisfying dishes."
Du Xixi took a pre-prepared block of tofu, placed it in her hand, and began cutting it delicately, making viewers a bit anxious. While cutting, she multitasked and said, "Chop, slice, crush, peel, trim – everything must be done by one person with one knife. This was that mentor’s requirement for me and the prerequisite I had to learn before making food by hand."
[——How should I put it? It seems daunting yet impressive!
——Is Lady overestimating us? She’s actually getting us to learn cooking together! I feel like I can’t even chop vegetables properly!
——Waaah! I want to be the tofu in Lady’s hands, hurry up and chop me~
——Be serious! Although I think so too... I also want to be cradled in Lady’s hands!
——+1! +1! Another +1!
...
——Honestly, I came to seriously learn to cook, but after seeing the sliced potato... sticks? I give up!
——Lady, I’m genuinely listening to you, and I’m seriously trying to learn to cook! But I just can’t do it!!!
——I can handle potato chunks... Potato slices, barely! Potato sticks... can two fingers thick be counted as sticks?
——Compared to that guy, I, who make one finger thick ones, am considered skinny... I’m amazing!
——Lady, spare us!
...
——Hmph! As a good youth of the new century, I must heed Lady’s call! Strive to be an enthusiastic learner in Lady’s livestream! I want Lady to remember me! I! Am Lady’s! Best! Student!
——Don’t fight with me, I started learning from Lady’s first plate of stir-fried greens, to sour and spicy shredded potatoes, learned fried potatoes and mashed potatoes, and now I never miss a single livestream! I am Lady’s most enthusiastic learner!!!! Don’t snatch it from me!!!!!!
——...

——Congratulations, we have two more crazies here!
——I have a feeling, in a few days, or years, Lady’s livestream will be full of "crazies"!

Seeing such lively comments from fans in the barrage, Du Xixi chuckled, lowered her head, and placed the sliced tofu in a bowl of warm water. Instantly, what looked like unchanged tofu bloomed into a beautiful tofu flower in the water.
"This can be used to make ’Wensi Tofu,’ but as promised, today we’re focusing on Knife Skills, so let’s make Wensi Tofu next time!" Seeing another wave of "wows" in the comments, Du Xixi waved her hand as if to say, "You guys haven’t seen much of the world," in a proud manner.
