Chapter 139 Preparing for Opening

Li Qing had just stuffed the remaining hamburger into his mouth when he saw the invitation letter. His eyes immediately widened as he coughed.

He was so excited that he almost choked.

The few of them hurriedly opened the door and took out a bottle of water for him. “Quickly smooth it down, don’t be so anxious.”

“I…”

After Li Qing swallowed the hamburger, he hit his chest with his fist and said, “I’m not being anxious. It’s just that they sent me an invitation letter right after I just signed up. Isn’t that a little too fast?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on his face froze.

Xu Le had already turned around and entered the kitchen. He washed his hands and was ready to make fried chicken.

Lu Yuxi stood in the living room and saw that Li Qing did not look too good. She took the letter from him and asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

Lowering her head to take a look, she immediately exclaimed, “Xu Le! The program team sent it to you! Come out and take a look!”

Xu Le slowly walked out of the kitchen and said, “I already said that I’m not participating. Just ignore that.”

“Then I’ll make a call to the production team?”

“Anything is fine.”

After Xu Le finished speaking, he noticed the desolate look on Li Qing’s face and said, “Don’t worry, your invitation will be sent to your house in a few days as well.”

Li Qing pursed his lips and did not speak.

Lu Yuxi quickly made a call to turn down the production team and ran into the kitchen to help with the recording.

The sound of cartoons rang in the living room. Lu Yuxi shouted at the top of her voice, “Tiantian, you haven’t finished your artwork! Don’t forget!”

Xu Tian answered in her child-like voice, “I know, I’ll draw while watching TV!”

Then, they continued the recording. Xu Le took out the drumstick that had been marinated in the salt water for a few hours. He said, “In order to avoid waiting for too long, everyone can marinate the drumstick in the salt water overnight and cook it the next morning. Now, wash the salt on the surface clean and use the kitchen paper to dry it before placing it in the refrigerator.”

“Now, we shall be preparing the cheese. The cheese is the acidic liquid left behind when making butter. It’s very easy to make it by yourself. You only need to add lemon juice or white vinegar in the milk and wait for about ten minutes. When a solid piece appears inside, it will be considered a success.”

“Of course, I have a simpler method to teach everyone this home-cooked dish. You can just replace it with yogurt. With a layer of yogurt in the middle, the fried chicken will be very juicy and tender.”

“Take 420 grams of flour, add two big spoons of sea salt, three big spoons of black pepper, two big spoons of baking soda, two small spoons of red chili powder, and stir them evenly. The dry powder is divided into two plates, then add yogurt in the middle. Wrap with a layer of dry powder first, then wrap the yogurt. Lastly, add a layer of dry powder. The yogurt will then be moist and soft. Remember, when you wrap it in the final time, press it firmly with dry powder, or else the skin will be broken in the frying pan.”

After Xu Le finished his demonstration, he poured some oil into the pot. When the temperature of the oil was about right, he placed the drumstick into the pot. The drumstick wrapped in a thin layer of batter began to sizzle and form ripples.

“When the chicken drumstick is fried to a golden color, it is ready to be served. As it has been marinated with salt water in advance, there is no need to add any condiments. However, everyone can put some cumin, chili powder or something else according to your own taste. Bring it to my sister for her to try.”

On the iron frame, the drumstick’s batter was emitting a golden oil fragrance. The edges of the crispy skin were raised, and one could feel the crispness just by looking at it.

“Give me one first, give me one!”

Lu Yuxi could not wait any longer. She took a bite using the kitchen towel and almost jumped up.

Xu Le was shocked by her reaction and commented on her, “Is it really that good? Isn’t your reaction too exaggerated? It’s like I hired you to be an actor.”
