Would You Like to Try Ke's Cooking?

Zhou Yi is an unusual food blogger who runs a livestream called "Ke Family Cuisine." What he loves most is experimenting with strange ingredients and recipes.

Viewers who accidentally click into the livestream see tentacles twisting wildly and an unidentified, viscous substance bubbling in a little pot.

"Another one wasting ingredients for attention. Let's all move along."

"Come on, man! One bite of that and you'll be bedridden for three days!"

After cleaning his plate, Zhou Yi shows the bottom of the pot. "It really tastes good. If you've learned how to make it, type 1 in the chat."

With his unconventional culinary imagination and his refusal to waste ingredients, Zhou Yi gains plenty of fans.

These fans are determined to spread Ke Family Cuisine far and wide. They also love collecting strange ingredients to send him as gifts.

Looking at the deep-sea monstrosity crawling out of the screen, with a huge bunch of jumping, spinning eyeball grapes wrapped around its tentacles, and all the express deliveries that arrive in seconds, filled with chunks of broken flesh...

"Thanks for all the gifts, members of the Ke family. Today, let's learn a new dish together: a monstrous hot pot!"

When the livestream ends, Zhou Yi picks up a sack. It's time to look for new ingredients. An excellent chef can't let diners limit him.

Zhou Yi opens the door and looks into the desolate otherworld beyond. This is his grocery store, his very own backyard.

But his backyard is always being invaded. No matter, he's always been a warm and hospitable host.

So, would you like to try Ke Family Cuisine?
