Chapter 71

…

The pitter-patter of water continued.

Xiangyi squeezed the hand sanitizer for the third time, but her ears were still red.

Due to her strong objection, the Xiang family had not called her by her nickname Tutu for a long time.

… She didn't expect to hear it from Shi Sui.

The young girl, whose emotions rarely fluctuated, felt a sense of shame that she hadn't felt for a long time.

It wasn't until Yan Nai returned with two baskets full of chili that Xiangyi snapped back to her senses.

She washed the red and green chili peppers, drained them, and chopped them before setting them aside for later use.

She then took out the chili powder she had made a few days ago. The transparent bottle contained a mixture of several other chili peppers and some spices. She unscrewed the wooden cap and the aroma wafted out.

Yan Nai sniffed hard twice and his nose instantly itched. He hurriedly took a few steps back and sneezed several times with his sleeve covering his nose.

"Sister, this chili powder smells so spicy."

Xiangyi smiled and said, "There's devil pepper in it."

It was just the juice that had been diluted many times.

After preparing the ingredients, Xiangyi heated up the oil in the pot.

She was going to pour oil over the chili peppers. The method was actually very simple. Mix several chili peppers with pepper, sesame seeds, crushed peanuts, and salt. Pour the hot oil over it twice, stir it evenly, let it cool, and then put it into a suitable container.

When the hot oil was slowly poured over the chili peppers, the spicy and fragrant aroma could be felt through the screen.

— — [Amazing, this bright red chili oil is amazing!]

— — [I must have been a glutton in my previous life. I'm drooling at the sight of chili oil!]

— — [Ahhhh, cold stir-fried vegetables, steamed buns, and egg pancakes. I can unlock N ways to eat them in minutes!]

…

The number of viewers in the livestream of "Two Under One Roof" was stable, while "Heartbeat" next door was like a roller coaster as the number of viewers plummeted.

The reason was that the interactions between the guests … were too awkward.

The four of them were not familiar with each other before. If it was a recorded variety show, it would be fine as the editing could save the situation. However, in a livestream format, everything would be magnified.

The good side would be more visible, such as Xiangyi's cooking.

The downside would also be more prominent. They wouldn't have the naturalness of "Two Under One Roof".

Yu Miaomiao was eager to steal the limelight. She wished she could do a split all the time. Fu Jiayan kept flattering Jiang Chen, but his words were getting more and more vulgar. Qin Wanyan had a clear goal. She was trying her best to find a topic to talk about with Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen was a man of few words. As a result, the conversation became awkward.

If it weren't for the various missions and games arranged by the production team, the atmosphere would have been awkward.

Director Chen couldn't figure it out. They were all popular celebrities, so why didn't the audience pay for it?

Irritated, he smoked one cigarette after another, cursing the netizens in his heart for their poor taste.

"Director Chen!" The assistant ran over excitedly. "We've received the guest list for Two Under One Roof this afternoon!"

Director Chen scolded, "What's there to be happy about? Has his head been kicked by a donkey? "

"They hired Smog! It's that eSports player with a particularly fiery temper. Xing Chen app has a rule that if you use foul language, you'll be locked out of the live broadcast room as a punishment! "

When Smog was mentioned, there was no one who did not know him.

However, what everyone knew about him was not what games he played or how good he was at them.

Instead, they knew that he would exchange insults with the opposing player in the league competition.

The opposing player had been killed by him more than ten times in a row. He had a mental breakdown and directly cursed, "F * ck your sister."

At that time, the camera happened to sweep across Smog. A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. His typing speed was dazzling. At first glance, his cursing seemed quite civilized.

"Your parents have gone to heaven."

The bosses and coaches of both teams almost died on the spot.

…

"Brother Lai Liao!"

"Good night."
