Chapter 88 - The Little Master Chefs Cooking Guide (2/2)
As Xu Le spoke, he took out a piece of hotpot soup base and placed it in the pot to stir-fry. After he saw the red oil being produced, he added chicken soup, vermicelli that had been cooked and side ingredients.
In about three minutes, all the rice noodles and vermicelli were ready.
After washing up and changing her clothes, Xu Tian sat at the dining table and sniffed the fragrant rice noodles. She mumbled, “Brother, why didn’t you add chili for me?”
Xu Le knew his sister’s temper. He scooped a spoonful of soup from his bowl and fed it to her. “Try it.”
Xu Tian opened her mouth and smacked her lips. Her face turned red as she said stubbornly, “It’s alright. It’s not that spicy.”
Lu Yuxi deliberately made things difficult for her. “Then do you want another two mouthfuls?”
Xu Tian couldn’t hold it in any longer. She lowered her head and drank the soup in her bowl. “There’s no need for that. Wow, it smells so good!”
The rice noodles were soft and smooth. They were wrapped in the fragrant chicken soup and tasted so good that Xu Tian stomped her feet twice. “This soup is so delicious!”
Xu Le said calmly, “The chicken soup has been simmering for three to four hours. It must be very thick.”
Lu Yuxi looked at the vermicelli in their bowls and said, “Give me some. I want to try too.”
As she said that, she poured some of her rice noodles into their bowls. Xu Le also picked up two chopsticks of vermicelli for her and said, “You’re more picky than Tian Tian.”
Lu Yuxi pretended to be deaf.
The hot and fragrant soup slid into her stomach, warming her up. Lu Yuxi asked, “What do you think of Auntie Liu?”
“She’s quite efficient, not bad.”
“Her probation period was over yesterday. Why don’t we officially hire her?”
Xu Le said, “Sure.”
“Oh yeah, let’s record a short food tutorial video tonight. I think the response previously was pretty good.”
“What ingredients do you want to use?”
Xu Le was stunned. He said with a serious expression, “Let me think about it.”
Lu Yuxi nodded. She understood his concerns. “The audience is just ordinary people. It’s definitely better to make home-cooked dishes. However, it’s difficult to come up with a tutorial that everyone likes and is easy to learn.”
After one day of work, when Xu Le was closing for the night, he took out the leftover pork belly from the fridge and said, “I’ve decided on the theme.”
“Yeah?”
“Braised pork.”
Braised pork was a home-cooked dish. Braised pork had both sweet and salty flavors. It was especially appetizing and definitely suited the taste of the masses. Furthermore, it was also a dish that he had promised his fans beforehand.
“Yay! Remember to steam rice!”
Seeing her gluttonous expression, Xu Le reminded her, “I am recording a tutorial.”
“Anyway, I’m the one who will finish them all after the recording.”
Lu Yuxi rubbed her hands and looked excited. When she got home, she immediately took out the tripod that she had bought online. After setting up her phone, she asked in puzzlement, “Your video has at least ten million views. Why don’t you buy a video camera?”
Xu Le looked up. “Do you know how to use it?”
“…I think cell phones are pretty good. After all, we’re taking the route of home-cooked food.”
“I’ll count to three, two, and one. You can take out that quail egg. Aren’t you using the whole braised pork? Are you adding quail eggs into it?”
“Yeah, fried eggs.”
On the screen, the white and tender quail eggs were peeled and placed into the sieve before being fried at low temperature.
“Hello, everyone. I’m Xu Le. Today, I’ll teach everyone how to make a very homely and delicious braised pork. The method is simple.. Even a novice can learn it!”
