Novel Bin Chapter 126 Tasty Shrimp
Almost an entire week had gone by without her doing a live broadcast and her fans were complaining greatly. An official Blue star account had been set up on the star net for ease of communication with both the citizens of the Blue star and those outside on other stars. Surprisingly, in the comment section of the account the largest number of comments were from people that were displeased that she had not done a live broadcast in so many days.
Who knew that threats of sending knives, weapons and mutated beasts would be the motivation the employees in the communication department needed to contact her and forward the complaints. So, Scarlet announced a scheduled live broadcast for today and it started at six in the evening. She was using new cameras and equipment which Rodney had acquired for her. Fifteen million and six hundred thousand people were waiting when she finally appeared in a full chefs proper outfit with a coat and hat and they started commenting immediately.
[You have finally appeared, I have missed you so much.]
[The most beautiful governor, I love you so much.]
[This is not your usual location, where are you broad casting from?]
[She is outside, can one cook food from outside?]
[Is the mecha king still on the blue star and if he is can we see pictures of him.]
[The quality of your live broadcast has finally improved, did you acquire some drone cameras?]
[What is that on your head?]
"Everyone, let\'s calm down, I see so many comments that I do not know which ones to read first. The good thing is that I finally have a moderator so I will be able to answer some of your most asked questions.
First of all to everyone asking about the mecha king, no, I will not be discussing him, showing you images of him or bringing him on to my live broadcast. If you are here for him I apologize for disappointing you."
Because she decided to do an outdoor live broadcast, the live audience was also quite large. People actually brought seats and snacks to watch her as if she was their entertainment. The live audience was mostly women and children, some were here to learn how to cook and others for fun.
Among the watchers were Esong\'s grandparents, his grandmother Cecily shook her head when Scarlet said she would not be discussing Esong.
"Do you see the frown on her face when she mentions him?" she asked her husband. "Something is wrong between them. I don\'t like this, it\'s making me anxious."
"Maybe you should not have told him to be cautious around her, whatever progress he had made has probably gone back to zero because you poked holes into it." her husband replied.
"I am just looking out for him, women can be cruel and manipulative." his wife folded her arms. He shook his head and covered her with a quilted blanket that he bought from the supermarket and he handed some oatmeal cookies.
"They are adults, let them handle their relationship." he said.
At the front, Scarlet was still talking, "What I am going to be cooking today is something that is already available on the Sunstar in plenty. Did you know that the center for marine studies has successfully found a way to cultivate edible sea food? In fact they have been promoting it but not many people have taken an interest in it."
Many people run to the official website of the center for marine studies to see what was being sold.
[Those things are not edible.]
[They sell some weird looking creatures which stink.]
"They have cultivated shrimp," Scarlet announced, said, "Yey," and clapped her hands.
Six barrels were opened and plenty of pink medium size shrimps were exposed. The camera moved over them, exposing them to the viewers. Rodney was behind the camera, directing like a professional.
"This is what they look like," she picked up one for the audience to see, "These ones are mature and healthy. Now there are two ways to eat your shrimp, shelled or unshelled. The shell is this top covering, since I am going to deep fry mine I want the shells on, they add this crunchy texture to the shrimp which makes it tasty."
[Isn\'t that like eating a chicken with it\'s feathers ?]
[Have you tested the shrimp for poison?]
[Don\'t be fooled, food has negative side effects.]
A few comments were suddenly appearing and all of them were saying negative things about food like how it was poisonous, backward, gross. Even old rumors about Scarlet were resurfacing. They were so many that they were overwhelming the positive ones.
"This looks like a coordinated movement." Rodney commented. "Use our own software, it will do an instant ban of those accounts." he told his assistant.
"Yes." the secretary was typing as if she had magic speed hands, their movement could barely be seen.
"I am going to use some flour, Cajun seasoning, salt and black pepper in the quantities on the screen. I mix this together and set it aside half for later for later. The other half is mixed with my shrimp, I am only using two dozen for the live broadcast. You can increase as you wish as you do this at home."
"Thirty six million viewers." Rodney\'s assistant informed him.
"Good, stay on top of the narrative." he was moving back and forth nervously, he had to be ready for any surprises.
"Line the shrimp on a tray care fully like this. For this recipe I need an egg as well, you all know eggs, they are laid by female chicken and little chickens are hatched from them. They are a good source of protein so those of you who engage in exercises and body building activities should eat eggs, children too, eggs are good for growth. Back to our cooking, in this case I crack my fresh egg and put it a bowl and then I add some little milk to it and some seasoning. I mix them together carefully and set this mixture aside. Now to cook, take one shrimp, dip it in the egg mixture, then dip it in the other half of the flour mixture and drop it in hot oil for two to three minutes."
All the shrimps were spiced and added to hot oil. "Look at this," she took them out of the hot oil, they were golden brown and smelled really amazing. "You can all smell it, right?"
[I am hungry already.]
[I have already ordered for two dozen shrimps, I am ready to cook and al I need is Cajun seasoning.]
[Where is that braggart Certified gold, come out and start shopping for us.]
"Since I have a live audience today, I will not be taking that first bite, my babies Justin and Severus will do the honors.]
The two little foodies wasted no time in dipping the deep fried shrimp into ketchup and eating with relish.
[Oh, it tastes amazing.]
[Amazing, I don\'t care about the word spreading around about food being poisonous, I will die with a smile on my face.]
[Tasty and yummy.]
[It\'s that fucking dog again!! I hate it with a passion, can dogs be eaten?]
"Cajun seasoning can be found in the Bluemart or online shop, please buy sparingly because others want it as well. From today there is a purchase limit in quantity per person to the products both online and in the supermarket. Those of you who are interested I will be making kimchi tomorrow on live television with some women of our blue star on our official television, BSTV. You can find it right now on your terminals or televisions, it\'s channel forty four. Thank you for tuning in, I hope you have a good night, Scarlet out."
