IRDFPFCIW Chapter 37

I Know the Taste of the Sea

When the online comments reached Jiang Tang’s ears, the opposing voices on the Star Network had already begun to escalate.

Jiang Tang casually picked a few posts and found that those people were simply repeating their criticisms regarding “poor appetite” and “food not deserving” to blacken his name.

Jiang Tang had no intention of arguing with fools. Arguing with them would only add to his troubles. He knew that such opinions had already taken root in the minds of most interstellar people, and a few words from him wouldn’t change that.

Jiang Tang pressed a few buttons on his lightbrain. For the first time, he posted an update.

[Jiang Tang v: “Food is necessity of the people”. The food culture is deep, and appetite is not something to be ashamed of. I respect everyone’s appetite and every type of food. PS: The second batch of tomatoes will be available soon, so please be patient~]

After posting, Jiang Tang tossed aside his lightbrain. The turmoil on the Star Network wasn’t going to affect his mood.

Jiang Tang opened his arms and cheered. The sea breeze blew on his face. He took a deep breath and enjoyed the smell of the sea.

That’s right, with summer on the barren planet coming to an end, Jiang Tang finally had the chance to visit the seaside.

Wearing shorts that reached above his knees, he didn’t have to worry about rolling them up. He took off his shoes and socks neatly and felt the sand between his toes.

The sand, worn smooth by the waves, felt incredibly soft under his feet.

The sea was right in front of him. Jiang Tang ran excitedly toward the sea.

Wen Renyuan had just arranged Jiang Tang’s shoes neatly when he looked up to see the young man rushing toward the water.

Suddenly, he remembered that Jiang Tang had just been heavily criticized on the Star Network.

Wen Renyuan: !!!

Stopping abruptly, Jiang Tang was caught by the fluffy little one. He felt puzzled.

He tilted his head in confusion. “Do you want to play too?”

Jiang Tang stood at the edge. The incoming waves only reaching his ankles, showing no intention of venturing deeper.

Wen Renyuan realized that he had misunderstood something. Feeling a bit embarrassed, he turned his head away. Fortunately, his fur covered his slightly reddened face.

As Wen Renyuan was feeling a bit awkward, a few droplets of water splashed down in front of him. He looked up to see Jiang Tang gently playing with the water with his feet.

Jiang Tang’s fair feet was soaked in seawater and glistened under the sunlight. He playfully splashed the slightly cool water using his feet, and the sight of his delicate feet captivated Wen Renyuan.

All Wen Renyuan could see was Jiang Tang’s smooth and porcelain-like feet. The gentle arch of his foot and the graceful movement of his toes as he splashed water.

As the water flowed down from his feet, it left behind sparkling droplets, resembling a work of art.

Wen Renyuan suddenly felt parched.

Could it be that the weather was too hot? Wen Renyuan was a bit flustered, but his eyes couldn’t leave Jiang Tang’s feet.

Jiang Tang was enjoying this simple act. He laughed joyfully. Since his fluffy friends weren’t afraid of water, he felt comfortable playing alongside them.

Wen Renyuan was lost in thought. For a moment, he was late to react and ended up getting wet from the splashes.

Lin Yucang on the side watched everything silently, his expression unreadable.

Jiang Tang picked up a fluffy toy frisbee and threw it into the distance. The little snow wolf immediately dashed after it, and soon returned excitedly with the frisbee in its mouth.

Jiang Tang clapped and cheered, “Great job, little one!”

Soon, Qin Fei joined the fun, and they started a water fight.

Jiang Tang bent down and splashed water towards Qin Fei. Qin Fei quickly retaliated. The competitive spirit between the two boys flared up, and neither was willing to back down.

Jiang Tang’s bangs were drenched from the splashes, not to mention the clothes on his body.

The white T-shirt he was wearing today was wet and clung to him.

Jiang Tang’s slim waist was immediately revealed.

The white shirt was slightly transparent after being wet by the sea water. Now it stuck to Jiang Tang’s upper body, making it feel like you could see the skin underneath, even hinting at the two pink spots on his chest…

Wen Renyuan quickly averted his gaze and instead focused on Jiang Tang’s waist… It was so slender that it seemed one hand could wrap around it. Was he not eating well? And it looked so soft…

“Why is there blood coming from your nose—?!”

Jiang Tang was startled and saw the little kitten with two streams of blood trickling from its nose.

Jiang Tang: !!!

How could it be bleeding? Wait, can fluffies even bleed?

After playing happily for a long time, Jiang Tang finally remembered today’s live stream.

As the sky dimmed, they found a suitable spot on the beach. Lu Rongming skillfully set up the barbecue grill.

[Tang Tang, we’re here!]

[Finally starting the stream~ Wuhu~]

[Newcomer reporting, good afternoon, streamer!]

[Don’t mind those people on the Star Network, Tang Tang, we’ll always support you~]

Seeing more comments than usual and the support from his little fans warmed Jiang Tang’s heart.

He smiled at the camera. “Thank you all for your concern. Since we’re at the seaside today, let’s make a dish of grilled oysters.”

[We actually made it to the seaside this time!]

[This place is beautiful. Just looking at the sea calms my heart~]

[Oh, I recognize that barbecue grill! It appeared in the previous live stream.]

[Oysters? What are oysters? They must be delicious!]

After Jiang Tang prepared all the ingredients, he pointed to a pile of oysters next to him that resembled a small mountain.

“Today’s star, the oysters, are right here.”

[!!!]

[So… so ugly! I take back what I said earlier.]

[This looks so dirty, how do we eat it?]

The trolls in the live stream room finally seized the opportunity and rushed forward—

[Ugh… what kind of garbage is this? I almost threw up my breakfast!]

[Just this? And still respect food?]

[So hard! It also has a strange taste. I bet five-star that it won’t taste good.]

However, when they tried to create a negative narrative as usual, the true fans in the live stream room didn’t buy it:

[Where did these fake fans come from? Don’t they know our Tang Tang doesn’t allow tasting during the cooking process?]

[This wave of trolling is so embarrassing! They’re about to get paid.]

Earlier that afternoon, Jiang Tang had found many oysters behind some rocks. To his surprise, these oysters were quite large and about the size of an adult man’s fist.

Jiang Tang could already imagine how tempting the tender white oyster meat in the shell would be.

He took a small knife and placed it at the seam of the oyster shell, inserted the knife inside, and pried it open with skillful force. The oyster was opened.

Inside the shell was a large and plump piece of oyster meat.

Jiang Tang pried open the oysters one by one, kept the deeper half of the shell, and placed them on the grill.

Qin Fei and Lu Rongming came over to help pry open more oysters, and even the fluffy ones joined in.

Wen Renyuan swiped his claws along the seam, sending the other half of the shell flying away.

The viewers watching this scene: …

[Is this really a cat?]

[Cats being better than cats.]

[I don’t know why, but prying open this shell looks so fun. I even want to join them.]

The pile of oysters like a small mountain was fully opened and neatly arranged on the grill.

Each piece of oyster meat glistened beautifully.

Jiang Tang heated oil in another pot, adding a bit more than usual. He tossed in minced garlic and stir-fried until fragrant, then added some bright red chili peppers.

Then he added a little soy sauce and salt, and finally Jiang Tang evenly spread the sautéed garlic sauce over the oyster meat.

The oysters on the grill didn’t need flipping or any further action. As they slowly cooked, the aroma of garlic intensified, and the oyster meat released its juices.

Once the oysters were ready, Jiang Tang sprinkled some chopped scallions on top.

The white oyster meat paired with the slightly yellow minced garlic, the bright red chili peppers, and the green scallions made for a visually stunning dish of garlic grilled oysters.

Jiang Tang picked up an oyster, using chopsticks to grab the meat along with the garlic and popped it into his mouth.

The rich garlic flavor combined with the deliciously fresh oyster meat. When chewing in the mouth, the juice of the oyster meat burst in his mouth.

[This is so delicious that it makes me want to swallow my tongue!]

[Help! It looks so scary, why does it taste so delicious! I love oysters!]

[With Tang Tang, there’s no food that isn’t delicious. I’m crying.]

[Is this the taste of the sea? I get it, I suddenly want to be a man who conquers the sea!]

Jiang Tang couldn’t help but chuckle at that comment.

“I know the taste of the sea~” Jiang Tang blinked at the camera, “But if you want to be the king of the sea[mfn]海王, Sea King, a Chinese slang term that pertains to scum men who wants to hook all women[/mfn], I advise you to think carefully.”
