Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 418 The first dinner!
After playing with the kitten and puppy for a long time, I didn't realize it was already evening.

Li Zhifan and Bai Qingqing didn't pay attention to the time, mainly because the summer night came very late, and it was still bright near seven o'clock.

They didn't wake up until the director came up to remind them that it was time to make dinner.

"What? We buy our own food?"

After reading the second character card handed over by the director, Li Zhifan was speechless. He pointed to the vegetable field behind and asked, "Can we pick some for use first?"

"Yes! There are also some ingredients stored by the landlord in the cellar, but no matter what, you all have to go to the market to buy vegetables tomorrow."

"OK! OK! As long as it doesn't tell us to buy it now!"

Li Zhifan breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and went downstairs with Bai Qingqing to find ingredients.

There are staple foods such as rice and white noodles in the side room. These are prepared in advance by the program team. Although it is a reality show, some things have actually been prepared in advance, not to mention that several staff members also have to eat.

"Rice, millet..."

Li Zhifan looked around and finally said, "Qingqing, let's eat rice tonight!"

"Ah? Is it convenient?" Bai Qingqing doesn't know anything about housework, and this time she is determined to rely on Li Zhifan. As for Li Zhifan's cooking skills, she doesn't care - as long as she can eat.

"It's convenient to have a guy!"

Li Zhifan said, "Go and see if there is an electric rice cooker, and if so, bring the liner!"

"it is good!"

Bai Qingqing went to do it immediately, and came back ten minutes later with an extra rice cooker liner in her hand, "Is this it?"

"Yes, this is it!"

Li Zhifan nodded and smiled, grabbed two handfuls of rice with his hands, and said, "This should be enough for us to eat, you go to wash the rice! I'll find out what to eat!"

"OK!"

Bai Qingqing agreed again, turned around and left with the uncooked rice in her hands.

Li Zhifan walked around the side room alone for a long time, but didn't see any vegetables, so he asked the photographer next to him, "Where are the vegetables?"

"In the cellar!"

"what?"

Li Zhifan walked to the cellar, opened the door and glanced down, and asked a little hypocritically, "This...do I have to go down?"

"Hmm!" the photographer said succinctly.

"Ahem, I mean..."

Li Zhifan said flatteringly, "Why don't I help you take pictures, and you help me go down and find some ingredients? Well... I'll make an extra one, and you will come over to eat when the time comes!"

"No no no!"

The photographer shook his head repeatedly and stepped back.

"Come on!" Li Zhifan pulled him, "Don't be shy, everyone is so familiar, don't you think so?"

The photographer still refused, this time taking a bigger step back.

"Ah!" Li Zhifan sighed, "Then it's only me!"

"There's a light here!"

Watching Li Zhifan half body down to the cellar, the photographer pointed to a pull rope on the side wall of the cellar.

"I'll go, why don't you tell me earlier?"

Li Zhifan had no choice but to go up again, and when he pulled the rope, the cellar below was suddenly bright.

Just when he was about to go down, he remembered again, slapped his head and said depressedly: "I'm confused, just let you pull it for me, I'm really..."

There are many ingredients in the cellar.

White radish, carrot, tomato, potato, cabbage...

They are all the common ones in the farm, but it seems that they are not freshly picked, and have been stored for a while.

Li Zhifan picked up some eye-catching potatoes and tomatoes, a long eggplant and some beans, put them in boxes and returned.

As soon as he jumped up, he patted the dirt on his body and said to the camera: "Let's make a stew tonight!"

The cameraman deliberately shook the camera up and down, as if nodding.

Li Zhifan waved his hand and walked out with the basket in his hand: "Alright, let's go to the kitchen!"

After taking two steps, he turned around again and asked the cameraman, "Hey? By the way, is there no meat in this house?"

"Yes!" said the cameraman, "It is in the refrigerator, but it belongs to our staff!"

"I go!"

Li Zhifan smiled, "Then I'll lend you some, and I'll go to the market to buy vegetables tomorrow, and I'll pay you back when I come back!"

"This won't work!" the cameraman refused, "If you ask me, I can't help it!"

"Then who cares about it?"

"I have no idea!"

"Then I'm going to find Zhenzhen (director)!"

"Well... Anyway, just don't look for me!"

"..."

Li Zhifan shook his head, and shouted when he went out, "Zhenzhen! Where are you?"

Several directors and cameramen were hiding in the room on the second floor, and did not come out when they heard Li Zhifan's shouts, because they knew that Li Zhifan must have something to ask them.

"Zhenzhen! Let me discuss something with you! Lend me some meat!"

Li Zhifan yelled again, but the group of people remained still.

"Borrowed today, how about paying back double tomorrow?"

Still no one answered him.

"Don't do this, it's boring!" Li Zhifan had already walked back into the house, and went directly to the staff's room on the first floor.

He pushed away one room and found that there was no one there, and went to the other room, saying as he walked, "Xiao Sun has already explained everything, you have meat in the refrigerator, and I am borrowing it from you now, but if you don't give it, I will give it to you." Go grab it! If I rob it, I won’t have anything to say! Huh? Where are you?”

There was no one in the two rooms, so Li Zhifan didn't continue to go up to the second floor, but turned around and went to the kitchen.

Put the ingredients on the table, and casually said to Bai Qingqing who was washing rice: "Wash these vegetables too!"

Just after he finished speaking, he thought of something again, turned his head and smiled and said to Bai Qingqing: "Forget it, why don't I wash it!"

"No, no, no!"

Bai Qingqing refused, "It's already very embarrassing to ask you to cook, how can I let you do such small things as washing vegetables and rice?"

"Warning means, you go to Zhenzhen and the others for a piece of meat!" Li Zhifan laughed.

"Ah..." Bai Qingqing instantly understood Li Zhifan's meaning, nodded and said, "Of order, I promise to complete the task!"

"Go!"

Li Zhifan took over the work in her hand, poured out half of the water in the inner pot, put the inner pot into the rice cooker, and started to stew the rice.

Xiao Sun, the cameraman at the side, couldn't help asking: "You don't want to wash it anymore?"

"She has washed it so many times, what else should I wash?"

Li Zhifan immediately began to educate him, "Rice contains vitamins and inorganic salts, which are easily soluble in water. If the rice is washed for too long and the rice is scrubbed vigorously, all the nutrients on the surface of the rice will be lost, and the nutrition of rice is mainly on the surface. .”

After popularizing the science of washing rice, some began to popularize the science of stewed rice: "Today this is a failure case. According to science, the correct way to cook rice should be to boil it. This is because boiling water can shorten the cooking time and reduce the amount of rice. The vitamins in rice are destroyed. Starch granules are insoluble in cold water. Only when the water temperature is above [-] degrees can the starch absorb water, swell, break, and become mushy. Rice contains a lot of starch, and cooking with boiling water can make the rice quickly cooked .”

"Oh!"

Xiao Sun nodded again, subconsciously said, "Mr. Li knows a lot!"

"Haha, what a joke!"

Li Zhifan waved his hand, although he blurted it out, but it all relied on "Huang Xiaochu's Secret Technique".

After washing the rice, Li Zhifan began to shred potatoes.

He is going to make a home-cooked popular dish - hot and sour potato shreds.

Generally speaking, yellow soil potatoes have the crispest taste, but today the potatoes are not so particular. After all, he didn't go to the market to pick them himself, so he had to make them casually.

But doing it casually will pay attention.

Li Zhifan had never really practiced knife skills, but after a little familiarity with his hands, he played a knife skill that left Xiao Sun dumbfounded.

First, slice potatoes. Each slice is as thin as paper with uniform thickness. Pick up a slice and show it in front of the camera. It seems that light can shine through this slice of potato.

After slicing them all, Li Zhifan stretched out his hands and rubbed them together. All the potato slices were stacked on top of each other like fallen dominoes, and thin strands appeared on the chopping board when Li Zhifan moved the knife with his hand.

Soak in water three times in total, and gently rub the first two times until the white starch no longer oozes out, then add a little white vinegar to the water, and put it aside for use.

At this time, Bai Qingqing ran back and said happily: "I want a piece of meat, look!"

Li Zhifan turned around and saw Bai Qingqing holding the plastic plate in her hand, which contained a piece of pork belly, wrapped in plastic wrap, and there was a supermarket code on it.

I took it over and looked at the date, and it turned out that I bought it this morning.

"Okay, well done, pork belly..."

Li Zhifan was very satisfied, but he was thinking again, what kind of food should he cook?
If we simply make stewed pork belly, eggplant, and beans, it will not be very attractive. After all, it is a TV show, and there will be audiences from all over the country to watch it. In order to clean up the show and for the effect of the show, he has to choose a dish that will impress the audience. , And meaningful dishes will do!
Li Zhifan closed his eyes, and after flipping through "Huang Xiaochu's Secret Technique" in his mind for a long time, a name appeared in his mind - steamed pork with rice flour!

The reason why she thought of this dish was because Bai Qingqing had seen tamales in her box lunch several times when they were filming together, and she was from the south, so Li Zhifan guessed that this tamales should be her favorite.

"Qingqing! Get this pot now, go to the side room and get some more rice!"

Li Zhifan took a basin and handed it to Bai Qingqing, gesturing to her the required amount.

Bai Qingqing, who was cleaning the dishes, nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll go right away!"

Taking advantage of this time, Li Zhifan quickly cut up the pork belly.

This piece of meat is only about seven taels, which can only satisfy Bai Qingqing's cravings. If she wants to be completely satisfied, she probably won't be able to do it. After all, she doesn't usually like steamed pork.

After the meat was cut, Li Zhifan found a fork from the tableware, poked small holes into the pork belly, and then added salt, sugar, cooking wine, soy sauce and oyster sauce.

Generally, the preparation takes at least half an hour, but today's time is definitely not enough, so Li Zhifan can only use the method of piercing small holes to make the seasoning taste delicious quickly.

"The rice is here!"

Bai Qingqing put the small pot of rice on the cutting board, and asked curiously for the first time, "What are you going to do tonight?"

"You'll know in a while!" Li Zhifan didn't say anything.

Bai Qingqing continued to ask, "How about I do something for you?"

"No need!" Li Zhifan said, "Go upstairs and tidy up the bedroom. Dinner can only be served at eight o'clock!"

"Oh!" Bai Qingqing knew that she couldn't help, so she could only tell Li Zhifan what to say, she just did as she did, and since she didn't need her in the kitchen, she didn't need to make trouble.

Making a fire is a science, especially for this kind of stove that uses wood and coal. Li Zhifan's skills in this are not very good. Even with "Huang Xiaochu's Secret Skills", he still had to fumble for a long time before starting the fire.

"Cough cough!"

Li Zhifan was choked by the smoke several times. Seeing the fire getting hotter and hotter, he breathed a sigh of relief, ran to the tap to wash his face, and returned to continue cooking.

The first thing is to fry the rice, fry the raw rice with pepper.

This stove is not like a gas stove where the flame can be turned up or down at any time, so Li Zhifan is particularly careful in operation, and when the rice turns yellow and the aroma comes out, immediately take it out of the pot.

The fried rice has to be ground into powder. Fortunately, there is a three-in-one soymilk machine in the kitchen-it can squeeze juice, grind soymilk, and grind dry powder.

After all the rice was ground into flour, Li Zhifan sprinkled the dry rice flour and water on the marinated pork belly.

Xiao Sun swallowed his saliva and said, "Well, do you want me to help you?"

"Greedy?" Li Zhifan saw through Xiao Sun's mind at a glance, and couldn't help laughing, "I don't need your help with this job, but you can exchange things!"

"What to exchange?" Xiao Sun immediately explained after saying, "Mr. Li, don't get me wrong, I don't want to eat, I just want to help you!"

"Oh? Then don't use it!"

Li Zhifan shook his head and said, "I can do it alone!"

"Uh..." Xiao Sun was speechless, he was really greedy!
Li Zhifan gave him a step in time: "How about this, you help me light the fire on the iron stove next to it, and then you will share some of the dishes."

"Okay!" Without saying a word, Xiao Sun found a place for the camera, squatted down and started to light the fire.

Li Zhifan looked at the meat on the plate and estimated the amount. It seemed that he could give Xiaosun two pieces at most.

As for the other staff, it depends on whether Bai Qingqing is willing to give it.

After grasping every piece of meat, Li Zhifan found a pressure cooker, filled some water and put it under the shelf, put the meat plate up, tightened the lid of the pot, and moved it to the iron stove.

"Mr. Li, how is the flame?"

Xiao Sun smiled shyly and said that he hadn't gotten angry too much. In order to complete what Li Zhifan told him, he made himself into a big face.

"good!"

Li Zhifan glanced at him, couldn't help laughing and said, "Hurry up and wash your face!"

After finishing this, Li Zhifan started to cut eggplants and tomatoes again, and Xiao Sun, who had washed his face, came over to help pick beans.

After all the ingredients were prepared, it was time for Li Zhifan to show off his cooking skills.

However, he encountered a problem - no suitable wok!

He can't handle the big black pot in the kitchen at all, but there is no better way right now, he can't go to the neighbor's house to borrow the pot now, right?
And it doesn't necessarily exist in the countryside.

"Catch the ducks to the shelves, so come here!"

Li Zhifan scratched his head, carried the big black iron pot with both hands to the stove, took a big iron spoon, flipped through "The Secret Technique of Little Chef Huang" in his mind, poured raw oil into the pot again and again, and started a new attempt .

(There is something wrong with the computer, I guess I will have to use my mobile phone to type in the past few days.)
