Peninsula: These female celebrities are all so neurotic.

I want to cry without tears.

Looking at the situation before him, Liu Zimu could only think of these four words.

Three powerful stoves have already been set up next to the pool at the edge of the filming location.

Pots, pans, utensils, ingredients, and seasonings are all readily available.

It looks just like a banquet in rural China!

An older crew member walked over, circled the three high-powered stoves, and exclaimed in amazement, "Aigu! Are we filming a Chinese food special? When did our production team become so rich?"

Liu Zimu did not answer.

He squatted down in front of the pile of seasonings, picked up a bottle of Pixian chili bean paste, unscrewed the cap, and took a sniff.

The taste is authentic.

He couldn't resist kissing the bottle cap.

Brother Tong, although your rewards are terrible, you're really good at stirring up trouble.

Bae Joo-hyun was standing in the waiting area not far away, touching up her makeup.

She was secretly laughing.

Because from that angle, she could just see Liu Zimu kissing the fermented soybean paste bottle.

The makeup artist asked her what she was laughing at, and she waved her hand, "Nothing, it's just that our assistant is cute, isn't he?"

Cute my foot.

Liu Zimu stood up and looked around. Fifty or sixty staff members, along with the regular members and guests of Running Man, were all looking at him with expressions of disbelief.

Yoo Jae-suk laughed heartily: "This assistant-nim, are you really going to cook for fifty or sixty people all by yourself?"

"right."

"Do you need any help?"

"Just help me wash the vegetables, I'll do the rest myself." Liu Zimu was instantly full of energy.

Goo Hara, you'd better remember this.

I'm performing here all because of you!

Anyway, the system only requires him to do it, not whether it tastes good or not.

As for whether it's spicy or numbing, and whether our friends from the peninsula can get used to it, that's none of his business.

Liu Zimu didn't receive any money; he was purely doing charity work.

Several staff members volunteered to help wash the vegetables, mostly out of curiosity.

All the celebrities, including Yoo Jae-suk, Kim Jong-kook, and Haha, also came over and stood by to watch the fun.

"What is this?" Kim Jong-kook picked up a fresh termite mushroom and examined it from all angles.

"Termitomyces albuminosus," he said first in Chinese, as he didn't know the Korean, "a type of wild mushroom!"

"What about this?" He picked up another handful of Sichuan peppercorns.

"Sichuan peppercorn."

"Sichuan peppercorns?" Kim Jong-kook frowned. "I don't know if I've ever eaten them before."

Haha urged from the side, "Brother, you should try one."

Kim Jong-kook actually put a peppercorn in his mouth, chewed it twice, his expression changed from curiosity to confusion, and then his whole face scrunched up like a chrysanthemum.

"Holy crap! What the hell is this? My tongue's gone numb!"

Liu Zimu grinned at him: "That's Sichuan peppercorns, it's numbing."

HAHA laughed so hard he squatted down and slapped his thigh.

Kim Jong-kook gulped down three mouthfuls of water, then pointed at Liu Zimu: "You little brat, you did that on purpose, didn't you!"

"No, I just didn't have time to say it."

Kim Jong-kook rolled his eyes to the sky.

Song Ji-hyo stood to the side, arms crossed, looking expectant.

With Kang Hanna in front, Seol In-ah called out from behind, "I'm actually kind of looking forward to it for some reason."

Park Soo-young stood next to Bae Joo-hyun and whispered, "Unnie, does Zimu oppa really know how to cook? I'm a little worried. Please don't embarrass him!"

Bae Joo-hyun didn't say.

She just stared intently at Liu Zimu tying his apron, her gaze so focused that Park Soo-young felt something was off.

"Unnie?"

"Hmm?" Bae Joo-hyun looked away. "Whatever, I'm not eating it anyway."

Park Soo-young gave her a strange look and whispered, "Are you sure you really don't want to eat? Don't think I didn't see you whispering to him. Unnie, he's Sulli's boyfriend!"

Bae Joo-hyun glanced at her: "I know!"

But as soon as she turned around, her eyes turned terrifyingly cold!

......

Liu Zimu took a deep breath and began to move.

The first thing to do is chop vegetables.

He tied his apron tight and pulled out a large cleaver.

The blade flashed brightly in the sunlight.

He chopped vegetables very quickly, which amazed the onlookers.

The knives used by people on the peninsula to cut vegetables are not these large cleavers.

Yoo Jae-suk joked from the side, "Aigoo, this assistant doesn't look like he's chopping vegetables, he looks like he's filming an action movie."

Slice the beef, shred the pork, cut the cabbage into chunks, cut the bamboo shoots into chunks, mince the scallions, and crush the ginger and garlic.

His knife skills were excellent.

Both the thickness of the shreds and the uniformity of the chunks are very professional.

The onlookers began to whisper among themselves:

"Wow, is this person really an assistant?"

"He looks so professional. Could he be a chef at the Huaxia Hotel?"

"SM Entertainment is really rich! They even hired a Chinese chef?"

Liu Zimu didn't look up when he heard these words.

He wasn't smug; he was thinking that if he had this master-level Sichuan cuisine skill in his previous life, he wouldn't have had to be a corporate slave.

Rent a shop and open a small restaurant; you might even become an internet celebrity.

Now look what's happened, they've come to the Peninsula to do charity work for "Running Man".

The big pot on the far side has already been lit.

He put the chopped chicken into the pot and started stirring it with a large spatula.

......

Add water, then add some simple seasonings, and finally add the matsutake mushrooms.

The first dish, stewed chicken with wild mushrooms, only requires time to prepare.

Then another stove was lit, oil was heated, Pixian chili bean paste was added, and it was stir-fried over medium-low heat.

The chili oil is coming out, and the aroma is wafting out.

It smells very pungent.

Several of the staff members who were helping out started coughing.

"What's that smell? It's so pungent!"

"It looks like chili peppers."

"Is it just chili peppers? Why does it smell like beans to me?"

Ji Suk-jin was eliminated first again. He came over and sniffed, "This smell... is so complicated."

Liu Zimu ignored him and continued stir-frying.

Add minced ginger and garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, and dried chili peppers.

As the oil temperature rises, the bubbling sound of the oil swirling around makes your tongue tingle.

The aroma exploded instantly.

The entire filming location was filled with a rich, spicy aroma.

The entire tent was filled with the acrid smell of the fireworks battle, and some people had already started sneezing.

Haha's eyes reddened from the smell, but he still stood to the side: "You're a chef in disguise! Zimu, my brother, have you considered changing careers?"

"I have a main job now."

"So you're going to be an assistant at SM Entertainment?"

"Coffee shop owner."

HAHA is speechless. You're working here serving Chinese food, and you're Bae Joo-hyun's assistant. And now you're telling me you own a coffee shop?

The staff around them all laughed.

Lee Kwang-soo also ran over from the recording area to take a sniff: "Wow, it smells so good! Can I have a bite?"

"These are the seasonings, my brother."

"Then I'll wait for the main course." He chuckled awkwardly.

Kim Jong-kook rushed over and pulled Ji Suk-jin and Lee Kwang-soo away. The PD signaled to stop filming because most people were no longer interested in recording.

While giving Liu Zimu a thumbs-up, Yoo Jae-suk shouted at the staff, "Can you guys stop peeking? Get back to work!"

Boiled fish, spicy blood curd, Mapo tofu, Kung Pao chicken, shredded pork with garlic sauce, pork belly with garlic sauce, spicy chicken, stir-fried seasonal vegetables...

He cooked one dish after another.

It was already dark, and the lighting technician stood to the side, shining lights on Liu Zimu while swallowing hard!

The stewed chicken on the side smelled so damn good!

A VJ filmed Liu Zimu cooking from beginning to end.

He is also the happiest!

Because he was the one who tasted the food every time, and it was so delicious that he jumped for joy, which made everyone else extremely envious!

Sweat beaded on Liu Zimu's nose, and the back of his clothes was already soaked.

Sixty people, eight dishes and one soup.

I steamed three batches of rice in a large electric rice cooker, and each insulated container was packed full.

After finishing everything, he felt like crying.

It wasn't because I was moved, it was because I was tired.

If he had to do this stupid system again, he would just self-destruct.

Meanwhile, the others had already prepared disposable bowls and chopsticks, watching the most handsome guy in the room, waiting for him to open the lid of the chicken soup.

The recording of the show had already stopped, but the PD decided to have dinner and then work overtime to record it.

Everyone is now waiting for dinner to be served!
