Chapter 33 Hiss~ Not spicy
Chapter 33 Hiss~ Not spicy
"Alright, viewers, I've finished testing the PR here. After this, I won't continue with the challenge, but will instead focus on my regular training."
Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, the audience flooded the chat with messages of understanding. Lin Ye then began his daily training. Although the PR performance was quite impressive, the audience was equally amazed by Lin Ye's subsequent training.
Because today's training focused on chest, Lin Ye's workout consisted mainly of various bench presses.
Barbell bench press, incline barbell bench press, dumbbell bench press, incline dumbbell bench press, cable crossover...
After a series of training sessions, the audience was tired of watching, and this part of the content was actually quite boring. If Lin Ye hadn't talked to the audience during breaks, the audience would probably have left by now.
Lin Ye then drank a packet of single-use protein powder he had brought with him, and then did some muscle stretching before finally leaving.
The total training time is about an hour.
Walking back, Lin Ye soon heard the other party calling out their number.
[Guest A74, please have a meal]
【A74...】
The announcement rang three times before finally stopping. Lin Ye looked at his number, A77, and it seemed that his turn would indeed be coming soon.
"Alright, viewers, we only have three tables left. I've always heard that the food in Jiangxi Province is spicier than that in Hunan Province. Today, I'm going to see what's really going on."
[Jiang Province will subdue every stubborn person.]
Remember the host's smiling face now.
[Guest A75, please have a meal.]
...
[Guest A77, please have a meal.]
Finally hearing his name called, Lin Ye quickly went over.
"I am number A77."
Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, the other party glanced at Lin Ye and asked, "May I ask how many of you are?"
I'm alone.
Are you here to check out the restaurant?
"Um, it's not really a restaurant review, just a live stream. Can I film here?"
"Yes, sir."
As they spoke, the other person led Lin Ye to a spot that had just become available.
"Sir, we order by scanning a QR code here."
"Okay, sure."
"By the way, what level of spiciness do people usually eat here?"
"Guest, our food is quite spicy. My suggestion is mild. For those who can handle more spice, we would recommend medium spicy."
"Okay, I understand."
Lin Ye quickly glanced at the menu.
"I heard the soft-shelled turtle here is good, so I'll get one. I just finished working out and need to replenish my protein, so I'll get a bullfrog. Finally, I'll have a stewed chicken. Okay, everyone, since I'm just here alone, it would be a waste to order too much. As for the spiciness, I ordered the soft-shelled turtle and bullfrog to be mild, and the chicken to be medium spicy."
As he spoke, he also added a glass of milk.
[They actually dared to order medium spicy! They have some nerve!]
[The streamer is just too amazing. To be honest, even we locals only dare to order the mildest spicy version.]
[Hoping the anchor will faint.]
Seeing these comments, Lin Ye became even more curious. After all, he had been eating spicy food since he was a child and had tried all kinds of spiciness. Moreover, people outside always said that Hunan cuisine was very spicy. Just how spicy could Jiangxi cuisine be?
The food was served slower than I expected; it took almost half an hour before they finally started serving it.
In response, Lin Ye simply complained, "Business is pretty good here, but the food takes way too long to be served."
As he spoke, Lin Ye glanced at the turtle that had already been served.
Unlike the usual colors of dishes, the soup of this turtle was not an oily yellow, but red. Lin Ye was not surprised to see this, as many dishes in Hunan Province are also dark red. So he picked up a piece of meat and tasted it.
"Hiss~"
[It's breathing on it! It's breathing on it!!!]
[Haha, have you witnessed the power of Pingcheng, host?]
[Is it spicy? I'm just asking you, is it spicy? Stop talking nonsense!]
To be honest, Lin Ye was really shocked by this.
The spiciness is indeed beyond my expectations.
"To give you my opinion, the turtle stew is very tender and soft, it practically melts in your mouth. However, the spiciness isn't quite there yet. This level of spiciness would be considered a mild sweet drink in my hometown."
As Lin Ye spoke, he began to eat as if no one else was around, without drinking a single drop of milk, and even took a sip of soup to prove his prowess.
Just kidding. He's been eating spicy food since he was a child. Although this level of spiciness is indeed exaggerated, it's still within Lin Ye's tolerance range. Eating it normally wouldn't be a problem. However, this is only mildly spicy. You know, one of the dishes he ordered was a medium-spicy stewed chicken. I wonder what level of spiciness this is.
Watching Lin Ye eat one bite after another as if he were eating normally, the viewers in the live chat were all amazed.
Holy crap, is this for real? Is this still food from Jiang Province?
【poet?】
[As expected of someone from Hunan Province, they certainly have the ability.]
At first, the audience thought that the dishes Lin Ye ordered were not spicy, but before long, Lin Ye's forehead began to sweat profusely.
"Don't worry, everyone. Sweating is normal. Eating spicy food will make you sweat, which is your body expelling dampness. Let's have a piece of turtle foot next. Mmm~ It's not spicy~"
As they were talking, the second dish, bullfrog, was served. Lin Ye couldn't wait to try it, but after tasting it, he frowned slightly. To be honest, the bullfrog didn't taste as good as the soft-shelled turtle. The bullfrog was a bit old and didn't have that tender texture.
"I'm not a professional food blogger, but I can still tell the difference. The soft-shelled turtle here is very good, but the bullfrog is just so-so. It's not as good as the ones in Hunan province. And the chili peppers aren't very tasty either. They're just plain spicy without any aroma. To be honest, they're spicy enough, but in terms of pure taste, they're not very good."
Upon hearing Lin Ye's complaints, the viewers in the live stream quickly started discussing it again.
Indeed, I'm from Jiangxi Province. Over the years, in pursuit of the title of "spiciest province," many restaurants in Jiangxi have been pushing the spiciness levels to an extreme. Even I, a local, can't handle that level of spiciness, let alone people from other places.
After this comment appeared, many viewers started to follow suit.
Indeed, it's too spicy now; it's basically just chili extract, and it doesn't taste good at all.
Even before the last dish, a medium-spicy stewed chicken, appeared, Lin Ye could smell a pungent aroma wafting towards him, and he could sense that this dish was dangerous.
Seeing Lin Ye's frozen expression, the comments section erupted with anticipation.
[Host, this is medium spicy! If you can eat this, then I'm truly impressed. I'll send you a virtual airplane gift, okay?]
[Bentley Sister: This is outrageous! What kind of chicken soup is dark red? Host, please don't force yourself.]
