MyLifeMyIdea: "Honestly... I want to taste it!"

CuteLin: "Hey, Wargwen, you are amazing! At this rate, I might start to think that you are a genuine food blogger."

PotatoMan: "I still feel... It's kind of gross."

OldHarold: "At this point, I think upstairs is just a hater!"

OnlyOne: "I am new here. What's going on? Is this another fake food blogger?"

"Next," Mu Ning said, "Tomato and Egg Stir-Fry."

As for the rumors, Mu Ning didn't pay much attention. If she now argues with a few traumatized people... all her years of transmigration will go to waste!

She showed the ingredients again. "Tomatoes, eggs, salt, and a little oil."

She cracked the eggs into a bowl. The yellow yolks spread slowly. She beat them with chopsticks until they became smooth.

Then she cut the tomatoes into chunks. Red juice slightly stained the knife.

The pan was heated again. She poured oil and then added the eggs.

Shhh... Shu~

The eggs puffed up softly. She stirred them gently, breaking them into fluffy pieces. A light, warm smell came out, simple but nice.

She took the eggs out and set them aside.

Then the tomatoes went into the pan. This time, a slightly sour and sweet smell rose up. The juice from the tomatoes started to come out, turning into a soft sauce.

"When the tomatoes become soft like this," she said, "add the eggs back."

She put the eggs in and mixed everything together. The yellow and red colors blended, looking warm and homely.

"Add a little salt," she finished, then turned off the fire. 

This time, the comment section fell silent.

If in the previous dish they could still nitpick, then now they were rendered speechless.

This scrambled egg and fried tomato looked too mouthwatering.

MyLifeMyIdea: "Holy sh*t! This dish looks so epic, I want to taste it!"

CuteLin: "Hey, host, can you sell some to me? I will dm you my message. I am ready to pay 200 yuan!"

PotatoMan: "How brainless you all could be? Can't you see that something is suspicious? She is not tasting her own dish! Isn't that strange?"

OldHarold: "Well, now that you have pointed out, it is indeed strange!"

OnlyOne: "This looked so easy! I am going to try too!"

"For desserts, we are going to make red bean soup!"

Mu Ning took a bowl of dried red beans and poured them into a bigger bowl.

"These are red beans," she said calmly. "Wash them first."

She added water and gently rubbed the beans with her fingers. The water turned slightly cloudy. She poured it out and washed them again until the water looked clean.

"If you have time, soak them for a few hours," she explained. "They will cook faster."

Then she poured the beans into a pot and added a good amount of water.

"The water should be more," she said. "Because we are making soup."

She turned on the fire.

At first, the water was still and quiet. After some time, small bubbles started to rise.

blub… blub…

Slowly, it turned into a gentle boil.

"You need to cook on low heat," she said. "Do not rush."

MyLifeMyIdea: "Why is my mouthwatering so much!"

CuteLin: "I want to taste! I am dying!"

PotatoMan: "Hey, Wargwen, if you have guts, eat it!"

"I will once everything is made." Mu Ning's calm voice finally shut PotatoMan up.

As the beans cooked, they began to soften. The hard texture slowly broke. 

After a long simmer, the soup started to thicken a little. The water turned slightly reddish-brown.

Mu Ning checked a bean by pressing it lightly.

"If it breaks easily, it is ready," she said.

Then she added sugar.

"Add as you like," she said. "Not too sweet."

She stirred slowly. The sugar melted into the soup, and the smell changed, still soft, but with a light sweetness that felt gentle and calming.

"If you want it smoother," she added, "you can press some beans."

She lightly pressed a few beans against the side of the pot. The soup became thicker and richer.

Steam rose quietly, carrying that soft, sweet smell into the air.

"This is best when warm," she finished.

After serving the food on three separate plates, Mu Ning tasted the garlic spinach first. 

With the taste function activated too, all the viewers closed their eyes in delight. The taste... the taste was divine! They loved it too much!

Even after 2 minutes of tasting, none of the viewers thought of commenting. They were so mesmerized that they were trying to reminisce about it.
