Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

Page 127

A startled clucking sound rang out, feathers fluttered in the air, and the next second, the two pheasants struggled for a moment before collapsing to the ground, unable to stand any longer.

Upon seeing this, Uesugi Kenichi immediately rushed forward and arrived in front of the pheasant in the blink of an eye.

The throwing knives were incredibly accurate, piercing the necks of both pheasants. They died almost instantly, without any struggle.

"Looks like my knife-throwing skills aren't bad." Uesugi Kenichi smiled as he finished processing the two pheasants. "It's getting late, let's try to reach our campsite before dark."

"**"

"I now have serious doubts about the streamer's real age and identity. Is this really something a high school student could do? Even a top assassin wouldn't be this good."

"Being handsome is all that matters."

"Did you guys notice that sprint speed? It was absolutely monstrous!"

"Replay, replay, there are too many details, I couldn't see it clearly."

"Asakura had already given away 8888 fish balls."

"A real man never looks back and sent out a carriage."

……

After chatting with the viewers in the live stream for a while, Uesugi Kenichi continued on his way.

After two days of live streaming, he felt that it was quite interesting and a very novel experience.

Finally, around 7 p.m., Uesugi Kenichi looked towards a mountain hollow.

"We've finally arrived. Can everyone see it over there?"

Kenichi Uesugi turned the camera to a simple wooden house behind the mountain valley, his face showing excitement.

“I’ve been here before. This house was a temporary camp built by the village hunters to make hunting easier, but no one has come here in recent years.”

"Of course, 743 isn't that important. Look over there, everyone. There's a natural hot spring here. Phew, finally I can get some rest."

The live stream room became very lively at this moment. Many people had actually spent the entire day in the live stream room watching Uesugi Kenichi's live stream.

They felt that this live stream was simply addictive; once you entered, you couldn't get out.

It was absolutely amazing, on par with any blockbuster movie. Compared to this, other live streams are simply utterly rubbish.

It was indeed very tiring. Even they felt exhausted after watching it all day, let alone Uesugi Kenichi, who had been walking almost non-stop all day.

"Mr. Uesugi, you've worked hard. Please get some rest tonight."

"I really want to go into the wilderness with the streamer, it must be a really fun thing."

"Want to join together +1"

"Hurry up and go eat, streamer. It's okay, you can tempt me all you want. I've already prepared two roast chickens, so I'm not worried at all."

"2333333, it seems that some people have learned their lesson from the lunch experience just like me. To be honest, roast lamb leg and beer are ready, just waiting to eat with the streamer."

P.S.: Thank you 4023 for the donation. I've been quite busy with work these past few days, and there have been a lot of social engagements that have been really annoying. I'm truly sorry, and I apologize in advance. My updates have indeed been a bit slow these past few days (just kidding).

Chapter 241 Natural Hot Spring

Ignoring the discussions among the viewers in the live stream, Uesugi Kenichi quickened his pace and ran over, soon arriving at the front of the cabin.

This wooden cabin has been uninhabited for several years and appears somewhat abandoned. It's only because Uesugi Kenichi is so bold that he dares to stay in such a cabin in the mountains at night.

The door to the cabin wasn't locked. He gave it a gentle twist, and with a creak, Uesugi Kenichi pushed it open and went inside.

Fortunately, although the outside looked somewhat dilapidated, the inside of the house was in perfect condition, with nothing but some dust.

It was already dark when he walked around the room. There were two wall lamps hanging on the walls of the wooden house. He tried them and they worked. The two bright lights lit up and dispelled the darkness in the room, instantly giving him a sense of security.

He moved the camera around the house, showing everyone what was inside.

"Look, everyone, this wooden house looks a bit old, but it has everything you need. It's quite nice to have a house like this to live in in the wild."

"Now I need to clean this place up, and then I can go soak in the hot springs in a little while."

Kenichi Uesugi put down his backpack, tidied up the house briefly, took out his sleeping bag and placed it on the bed. After finishing tidying up, he walked out the door and headed towards the back of the cabin.

Not far along, a plume of white steam rose into the air, and a natural hot spring appeared before Uesugi Kenichi.

The hot spring is quite large, about 20 meters in size. There are some leaves scattered around the hot spring opening, and you can see a stream of water bubbling up in the middle of the hot spring.

Behind them were many tall trees, and the moonlight spilled onto the water's surface, shimmering silver in the folds.

In this situation, even without alcohol, Uesugi Kenichi felt as if he were half-drunk.

"Looks like tonight will be a comfortable night." Uesugi Kenichi smiled, and the viewers in the live stream could see the obvious smugness on his face.

Japan is a country prone to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, and its abundant geothermal activity has resulted in numerous natural hot springs in many parts of the country.

Most of the viewers in the live stream are frequent hot spring enthusiasts, but seeing a hot spring in a secluded place like in the forest is still quite rare.

After testing the water temperature with his hand, Uesugi Kenichi nodded in satisfaction. Not all of these natural hot springs are suitable for swimming; some are too hot to use.

Although he had been here before, he wasn't sure if the water temperature had changed since he last visited.

After determining the water temperature, he quickly gathered firewood nearby, collecting a large amount of very dry firewood in just a few minutes, which filled the forest in summer.

After preparing all the ingredients, Uesugi Kenichi quickly set up a campfire by the hot spring, then chose a flat rock and used a kukri to cut a notch to use as a stove.

"Next comes the part everyone's been waiting for. After a tiring afternoon, we can finally prepare for dinner. The ingredients for dinner tonight are very plentiful. Just thinking about the delicious food coming up fills me with energy."

"Let me show you the ingredients I have right now: two fresh pheasants, a snake, and all sorts of nuts and other ingredients. Tonight I can make three dishes: beggar's chicken, pan-fried snake meat, and finally, a bowl of chicken soup."

"I don't know if everyone has ever eaten beggar's chicken. It is a traditional famous dish from Jiangsu, China. It is a very unique delicacy with a great taste. The way it is made is also very interesting. The processed chicken is wrapped in lotus leaves and then buried in the ground."

As he spoke, Uesugi Ken plucked the feathers off the two pheasants and removed all their internal organs.

Unfortunately, he didn't have any lotus leaves on hand. After thinking for a moment, he found a few lotus leaves in a nearby stream to use as a substitute.

"After processing, the next step is to coat the inside with spices, and then add some seasonings according to your own preferences. I have a lot of seasonings on hand, including chestnuts, pine nuts, monkey head mushrooms, and truffles. After putting all of these into the cavity, wrap it with leaves."

After finishing these tasks, Uesugi Kenichi wrapped the pheasant in lotus leaves and scooped up a pile of mud from the bottom of the stream, then smeared it on the lotus leaves.

"When you're applying the mud, remember to add a little water to neutralize it. The water here is of very high quality; it's the most natural mineral water, rich in various minerals. Mud made with this water is an excellent choice."

"When applying the mud, be sure to apply it evenly and completely. After doing this, dig a pit about 10 centimeters deep below the fire pit."

"Uesugi Kenichi pulled out two pieces of firewood and reduced the fire a little. With that done, all that was left was to wait."

After finishing these tasks, Uesugi Kenichi prepared to cook another dish. Although his cooking skills were not particularly proficient, he had no problem with grilling and frying.

He lit a fire under a stone slab, and soon the entire slab was scorching hot.

He processed the bamboo viper, sliced ​​it into thin strips, and arranged them neatly on the scorching hot stone slab.

He then threw the fat he had cut off the pheasant onto it.

“(Zhao Mahao) Tsss.”

A series of crackling sounds rang out as the fat sizzled on the scalding hot stone slab, drizzling oil onto the neatly arranged snake meat, instantly releasing a rich aroma of meat.

During this process, Uesugi Kenichi set up the pot, threw in another prepared pheasant, along with various ingredients, filled it with water, and started cooking.

Viewers in front of the live stream seemed to smell the rich aroma even through the screen, and their mouths watered.

As the snake meat was repeatedly pan-fried, thin slices of it turned golden brown. When it was almost cooked, Uesugi Kenichi sprinkled salt and spices evenly on top.

Picking up the chopsticks that had been prepared long ago, Uesugi Kenichi couldn't wait to pick up a piece of snake meat and put it in his mouth.

After swallowing a piece of meat, Uesugi Kenichi's expression immediately became somewhat strange.

Chapter 242 Broken Chapter

The viewers in the live stream were stunned for a moment after seeing this, and almost cheered.

"Look at Lord Uesugi's expression. Does this mean the snake meat doesn't taste good? Hahaha, if that's true, then this is truly gratifying!"

"I knew it! How could fried snake meat possibly taste good? LOL, you tried to tempt us, and now you've messed up."

"I don't know why, but seeing the streamer like this makes me want to laugh. It's true what they say, what goes around comes around."

"I'm eating a delicious roasted lamb leg right now, it smells amazing! How about it, want to try some? I'll share some with you. Hehehe."

It has to be said that the wave of hatred at noon was indeed quite intense. The viewers in the live stream, seeing Uesugi Kenichi's strange expression, not only didn't feel sorry for him, but instead all gloated.

After swallowing a mouthful of snake meat, Uesugi Kenichi exhaled and glanced at the comments section. He couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

I never imagined I would be so hated...

"I might disappoint you, but the reason my expression is so strange is because this snake meat tastes different from what I've had before. How should I put it? It has a very unique flavor, unlike other grilled meats."

"The meat is a bit tough, but it has a unique flavor. I can say with certainty that this meat is really delicious."

Upon hearing Uesugi Kenichi's explanation, the viewers in the live stream immediately flooded the chat with disbelief. They weren't about to let such a rare opportunity to test their skills against Uesugi Kenichi slip by.

However, Uesugi Kenichi didn't care whether they believed him or not; he squinted and quickly finished all the grilled meat strips.

"Wow, this is so uncomfortable, but this meat looks really delicious."

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it, it's absolutely impossible for it to taste as good as the instant noodles in my hand."

"No, my stomach is growling."

Although I really didn't want to believe it, judging from the expression on the streamer's face, it didn't seem to be fake. And even if expressions can lie, the fact that all the snake meat had been eaten couldn't be faked.

After finishing all the snake meat, Uesugi Kenshin glanced at the chicken soup simmering in the pot, lifted the lid, and was immediately greeted by a rich and intoxicating aroma.

A look of surprise flashed across Uesugi Kenichi's face. He then put the lid back on and turned the heat down a little.

He found a stick, turned over the fire, and took out the beggar's chicken, which had been roasted into a mud ball.

"Dong dong."

He tapped the mud ball with the back of his knife, and a crack appeared. He then tore the mud apart with his hand, and with a whoosh, a plume of white steam rose upwards.

Uesugi Kenichi took a deep sniff and then eagerly pulled the lotus leaf out of the mud ball.

With a mix of excitement and anticipation, the lotus leaf was peeled away. If this scene were from a gourmet anime, a beam of light would surely shoot into the sky the moment the lotus leaf was lifted.

The tender white chicken was slightly damp. The lotus leaves were spread out, and a large slit was made in the chicken's belly with a knife. Instantly, the aroma of various delicious seasonings wafted out.

At this moment, the viewers in the live stream felt like they were about to lose their composure, and the chat was constantly scrolling with comments.

"My goodness, this looks so lavish."

"I want to eat just one bite, just one bite."

"Why does this roasted lamb leg in my hand suddenly not smell good anymore?"
