Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

John carried the crucian carp and walked into the church.

The big snake, Lil Si, greeted him warmly, its big head constantly rubbing against John’s pant leg.

This silly foodie soon noticed the crucian carp in John’s hand, and its small eyes immediately lit up.

John patted its big head in amusement.

“Are you hungry? If you want to eat fish, go fetch firewood for me. Let’s have a good meal.”

The big snake, Lil Si, obediently went to get firewood. John smiled at the live broadcast room.

“I’ll eat this fish for breakfast today. Let me demonstrate my unique method of roasting fish.”

Regardless of the screams of the netizens in the live broadcast room, John began to cook the crucian carp.

He first removed the gills of the crucian carp, scraped off the scales with the back of the knife, and then removed the internal organs. The entire set of movements was smooth and quick. It only took one or two minutes.

After John washed the entire fish, he cut off its head, spread it out, and flattened it. His movements were orderly.

Then, John slashed twice. The tip of the knife cut into the fish’s back. With a gentle flick, the spine of the fish’s back was removed.

Next, a series of dazzling knife moves came out.

It was John who removed the thorns on the fish’s belly. Not a single one was left. The translucent fish meat was very beautiful.

Next, John needed to cut fish meat, he cut it horizontally and vertically.

The sharp kitchen knife was waving in John’s hand. Every move was flashing with cold light.

John first used the knife to cut the fish meat in a slanted direction. Then, he cut in a straight direction.

The knife cuts were uniform and the distance between them was as accurate as a ruler.

The knife cut into four-fifths of the fish meat, while not tearing off the fish skin at all.

A moment later, John had finished cutting the fish with his accurate knife skills.

He held the crucian carp in his hand. The pieces of fish meat drooped loosely, but they did not leave the fish bones. As expected, it looked like a fluffy squirrel.

John introduced the dish to the live broadcast room.

“Everyone, pay attention. The most difficult part of this dish is the knife skill.”

“As long as the fish is cut wrongly, the fish will not take shape. However, I’ve already done it.”

In the live broadcast room, the comments piled up densely.

“Every time I see the religious leader use a knife, there is always a pleasing aesthetic feeling.”

“Damn, the religious leader’s hands are actual hands, and my hands are like a cow’s hoofs.”

“Take the religious leader’s knife technique and cooking skills as an example. He can totally become the head chef of a five-star hotel and earn an annual salary of one million.”

“An annual salary of a million? Are you joking? The religious leader earns an annual salary of ten million.”

…

John could not care less about the comments of the netizens.

He placed the fish head and fish meat into a basin and marinated them with cooking wine, salt, ginger, and garlic to remove the fishy smell of the fish meat.

Then, he found a bowl and prepared some starch. He powdered the fish head and fish meat in turn and shook off the excess powder.

Next, he started the fire and heated the oil.

Lil Si had already brought over a lot of firewood and was watching John cook anxiously.

Not long after, John poured the clear oil into the iron pot. The oil pot heated up and began to smoke.

John introduced the oil to the live broadcast room with a serious expression.

“At this time, the temperature of the oil is especially important. If the oil temperature is not enough, the starch will fall into the pot and spoil the oil.”

“If the oil temperature is too high, the outside will be charred, but the inside is not cooked thoroughly yet.”

As he spoke, John had already put the fish head into the pot and fried it.

The oil in the pot sizzled, and the fish head quickly became a golden color. John took it out and placed it in the roasting pot.

Next, he plated the fish together with the fish head, which formed the appearance of the whole fish.

Finally, John put some oil in the pot and added salt, vinegar, tomato sauce, green onions, ginger, and other condiments.

He took the hot oil out of the pot and poured it over the fish.

The fish slices, which had been cut properly, bloomed. The fish meat was golden in color, and the tomato sauce was red in color. Small pieces of white onions were embellished within.

All of this, along with the bright green beans, made the dish look very good.

Just looking at it made the millions of netizens in the live broadcast room drool.

The live broadcast room exploded.

“I admit that I’m sour. I’m licking the screen right now.”

“I said that I wouldn’t watch the religious leader’s gourmet live broadcast, but I couldn’t help it. This is terrible for me.”

“Religious leader, you’re too much of a b*tch. You’re making us crave for your cooking.”

“The shark fin risotto I ordered just now instantly lost its fragrance. Religious leader, I hate you.”

…

The National Husband William tipped ten large airplanes.

Message: “Religious leader, you’re too inhumane. Ever since I came back from your place, I’ve been eating vegetarian dishes.”

“Damn it, no matter what I eat, as long as it’s compared to your dishes, it’s tasteless.”

I Love Carrots tipped John ten large airplanes.

Message: “Hubby, just you wait. One day, I’ll eat your dishes.”

The other netizens were filled with jealousy and jealousy.

However, everyone also gave gifts like raindrops.

John smiled and shook his head. He felt that these netizens were really cute.

He picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth. He was deep in thought.

In the end, John smiled and nodded.

“As expected of wild crucian carp. The taste is not bad.”

“As I said before, high-end ingredients only require simple cooking.”

Comments appeared densely.

“Religious leader, that’s enough. The value of this wild crucian carp is indeed very high. However, do you call this simple cooking?”

“Comparing with others is infuriating. I’ve been eating pickled vegetables and buns for a week.”

“Religious leader, draw your sword. Just for this bite of food, I’m going to fight you to the death.”

“Hahaha, what a joke. Can you defeat him? He is the king who even the Black-Feathered Eagle has to kneel at his feet. You’re just like a newbie to him.”
