BXBX NOVEL Chapter 243 Battle Of The Biggest Fish
[I did, I clapped.]
[Me too, I clapped.]
[Is that Severus in the background? Is he eating as always?]
[Bring out Justin, no clapping until I see my beautiful baby.]
[Silver wolf has a competitor actor Ramslin has rewarded our chef with twenty golden space ships!!!!]
[Hey guys, actor Ramslin is here with us.]
[Is he a singer or an actor?]
Mr. Rodney folded his hands and smiled, a big fish, they finally had another big fish apart from the anonymous silver wolf.
[Move aside, the third princess has awarded her fifty flying cars.]
[That\'s old news Silver wolf had dominated, one hundred golden castles.]
The gifts were flashing by so fast on the screen that Mr. Rodney and the team were losing count of who was gifting and how much was being gifted. Even Scarlet was puzzled by this sudden battle of the biggest fish because gifts were money and money was being thrown at her in every direction she turned.
"Bwahahahaa!!" Mr. Rodney laughed like a movie villain. He clapped his hands and then folded and raised his two fists in the air as if this was such a glorious moment.
"Mr. Rodney, the fans are being to fight and insult each other, this might get ugly soon." The female assistant who was in charge of monitoring the comments and banning all those who were vulgar or promoting violence of any form told Mr. Rodney in a worried voice. "Should I close the comment section? What should we do?"
"Keep a close eye on them at the moment." Mr. Rodney answered. "Keep going," he mouthed at Scarlet.
Scarlet smiled, enjoying herself truly and she went on, "So, seeing as how we are so close to Christmas, today we will preparing some ginger bread cookies. Yes, they are exactly like the ginger bread man cartoon, cookies are part of the Christmas tradition especially ginger bread cookies. You can also bake an entire house, a ginger bread house. Those of you who watch Scarlet\'s sweet treats on BSTV will be able to see me bake and build a ginger bread house from scratch later."
Mr. Rodney pointed his thumb upwards and smiled approvingly, great job. She had successfully promoted her own show.
"As always, the list of ingredients is down at the bottom, and it will stay there through all the show. Everything I am using is available on the online shop. I also shared the necessary preparations to a certain stage yesterday, before hand so that it would be easier to follow along.
To start off I will be combining all the dry ingredients starting with the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, salt and cloves.
I know you can smell the spices already and now you know the smell of Christmas." she laughed. "If you have not started decorating your houses please do, what\'s Christmas without the lights?
She whisked the dry ingredients and set them aside.
"Now, grab that automated mixer and bring it closer, and in our bowl add butter and mix. I know someone out there thinks I cook with butter a lot, but I can\'t help it, especially in baking. Add some brown sugar and mix until it\'s nice and creamy. You already know this so I will not be explaining what a nice and creamy texture is. Now, we add some molasses. What are molasses, I know this will be in the comments. If you go on star net to the online shop, you will find that we sell molasses by the jar, it\'s thick, dark brown juice obtained from raw sugar during the process of refining. You can also call it a syrup." She poured some on spoon and tasted it so that the viewers could taste it as well.
[It\'s sweet.]
[I prefer sugar.]
[Why is it dark brown?]
The mixer had been mixing while she talked about molasses. "Now, we can add one egg and vanilla and mix again. I know some of you are baking alongside me at home while others are saving the video for later. You will notice that the mixture seems to be broken, don\'t panic it\'s supposed to happen so, just keep going."
She turned the mixture off add added the dry ingredients, "I am sure you can smell that sweetness already, it\'s the taste of richness which will soon fill our mouth, look forward to it people. Okay, add the dry ingredients to the mixture and ensure that the flour is mixed in. Now, if you follow me I am sure that you saw the list of ingredients and instructions yesterday going at least to this part. Ginger bread cookies need time to rest, not ten or twenty minutes but a lot of chill time to firm. It must sleep in the refrigerator overnight. Luckily for us, we now have super fast cold storages that cut that time into less than half so you need four hours of chill time if you have one of these devices in your kitchen." She pointed to a super fast cold storage oven sized box which was a product of a company named Top kitchen crafters. They were paying her money to promote the device which she was happy to do. It was super convenient.
"I have cookie dough that has been firmed up." she had prepared it before the crepes and put it in there. "Now it will be soft so be careful, she rolled it out on the counter carefully and added some flour on top. "Your rolling pin should be floured as well to make sure that the cookie dough does not stick. Now here comes the fun part and assistant chef Justin will be joining me."
The cameras turned to Justin who came running in in his little chef outfit. He was running like a baby duck that was waddling from side to side. Scarlet turned on a Christmas tune as he approached, and she cheered.
[Finally, my baby, my baby.]
[Mummy has been waiting for you cutie pie.]
[Look at him in his cute chef\'s outfit, so cute.]
[Is it tasting time since the chief taster is here?]
The battle of the biggest fish resumed, they sent out gifts randomly filling the screen with popping balloons, a new recent addition inspired by Scarlet\'s slime balloon. Big gifts were accompanied by popping balloons. Star net executives were very wise and knew which trends to tap into because the balloon was a hot trending topic at the moment.
Mother and son embraced, she carried him up and placed him on a chair.
"The amazing assistant chef Justin everybody, let\'s give him a round of applause." Scarlet and those in the kitchen with her clapped.
The smiles on their faces were genuine because they were amused by his entrance and infected with his cheerful energy.
"Assistant chef, are you ready to make ginger bread men?"
"Yes chef mummy." he replied loudly and then saluted.
She cleaned his hands with a wet wipe, dusted them with some flour and handed him a set of cookie cutters shaped like ginger bread men, stars, candy canes and Christmas trees. "You have received your assignment, begin."
