Chapter 425 Another acquaintance

"Wow! Yu Yiyuan is also in this group, this is something to watch... Eh? Sister, how did you know? No! What second-generation rich circle? In such a short time, you have learned bad things from the fat guy!" Wen Xinyuan and Zhao Xiaojing spoke at the same time. Wen Xinyuan was surprised at first, and then he was speechless.

"What do you mean by learning bad things? This means we share a common hatred for the enemy! But sister, how do you know each other? Are you also an acquaintance who competed with you?" The fat man asked curiously.

"No, I met them yesterday. They look alike from their temperament." Zhao Xiaojing thought about it and decided not to reveal too much privacy to the siblings, so she gave an ambiguous explanation.

"Yeah, this face looks like a second-generation rich kid, it makes people angry just looking at it!" Wen Xinyuan immediately began to agree, in return for a sneer from the fat man.

"Does Yu Yijing's face make you angry?"

"I'm not angry. Beautiful women only make me feel relaxed and happy, but seeing a man with a second-generation rich face makes me furious!"

"Why? Isn't he handsome?" Zhao Xiaojing looked at Yu Yiyuan in confusion. Yu Yiyuan was given extra shots because of his handsomeness.

"That's why I hate it!" Wen Xinyuan was heartbroken.

"He has changed beyond recognition because of jealousy. In the same circle of second-generation rich people, some have only titles, and have to register under the name of the second uncle, and share shares with others; some are not only handsome and have titles, but are about to inherit the family business with a legitimate family background, and their strength is even stronger than him." The fat man said slowly.

After teasing Wen Xinyuan a few times, the redness on the fat man's face finally returned to normal. Zhao Xiaojing couldn't help but laugh again. The happiness and relaxation of these two people were indeed built on the pain of the other party. Enemies will always meet again. If the fat man was a girl, maybe this child marriage could really be successful.

"Hey, why are you stabbing me in the heart? You're still being kicked by your master, don't forget that!"

"I don't care~" the fat man shrugged indifferently.

Only the world where Wen Xinyuan was injured was realized again.

"Oh, look at the ingredients, Xia Xia is going to make dry fried beef noodles, right?" Guan Yingxia's shot appeared again, and it seemed that because it was eye-catching, she and Yu Yiyuan had more shots than others. Seeing that he could not win the argument with the fat man, the unwilling Wen Xinyuan deliberately pinched his throat and began to use Guan Yingxia to attack the fat man.

"Yeah." The fat man responded with a nasal sound.

"How about it? You will soon be able to see the food that made you kick out. How do you feel?" Wen Xinyuan became excited, staring at the screen and then at the fat man.

"Tsk!" The fat man said nothing, but used interjections to express his attitude.

Zhao Xiaojing had grown numb to the verbal battle between the two and stopped trying to stop them. Instead, she observed the ingredients in front of Guan Yingxia with great interest. "Did she order four kinds of rice noodles?"

"Well, there are three kinds of rice noodles and one kind of rice noodles. Good dry fried beef noodles have certain requirements for rice noodles." said the fat man.

Zhao Xiaojing nodded secretly. It turned out that everyone had the same idea. It seemed that she was not the only one who thought of ordering an extra serving of shredded potatoes.

"So you ordered several? Which one did you choose in the end?"

"I ended up choosing the colorfully packaged pho, but I ordered six different varieties... I also ordered the dry pho, and then tried to soak it in water to see if it would soften, but it still hadn't softened when I tried..."

"Tsk tsk, the aim is not accurate, what a waste. I lost to others in the step of picking rice noodles." Wen Xinyuan continued to jump.

"Heh!" the fat man responded politely.

As they were talking, the camera pulled away, turning into a zoomed-out panoramic view. The three people's eyes followed the camera, switching continuously between Guan Yingxia in the lower right corner and Yu Yiyuan in the lower left corner.

I saw that Guan Yingxia had already cut and mixed the beef, washed her hands and started to select the rice noodles, while Yu Yiyuan was almost done, after cutting and mixing the shredded meat, he washed his hands and started to prepare other side dishes.

"What is Yu Yiyuan cooking?" Zhao Xiaojing's knowledge of Huaiyang cuisine was limited. She looked at Yu Yiyuan's side dishes, which included shredded pork, dried tofu, onions, leeks, red peppers, celery, and other ingredients, but couldn't figure out what they were. "Looks like a stir-fry, too?"

"It should be Sanhe stir-fry, judging by the ingredients."

"It's Sanhe Xiaochao. What? You kicked me out? Your master didn't even take you out to see the world. You didn't even recognize the configuration of Sanhe Xiaochao?"

"Oh!"

"Do you often go out to eat food at other people's restaurants? Do you even go to other provinces?" Zhao Xiaojing asked with interest.

Before coming, Zhao Xiaojing always felt that these descendants of traditional chef families were mysterious and distant. Since they were not in the same circle, she had never thought about getting to know them. Unexpectedly, she met two of them at the same time when she came to the competition. The two of them were exactly the same and were always arguing with each other, which made the original sense of distance between them closer. Zhao Xiaojing asked whatever she thought of.

“We’ve known each other since our grandfathers or great-grandfathers’ generations. Basically, every few years, there are some competitions or association activities, where we will exchange and show each other our cooking skills. In addition, chefs who have good relationships will visit each other’s restaurants every few years to learn from each other, such as our family and the fat man’s family, so we have a certain understanding of each family’s strengths. Of course, there are also sworn enemies and people who don’t get along with each other. They know each other on the surface, but don’t interact with each other, and they even secretly engage in business wars in private.” Wen Xinyuan explained simply.

"Oh, I see." Zhao Xiaojing gained new insights.

"Oh, you are worthy of being my rival. It seems that you have the same standards for ingredients!" When the three of them were chatting, Guan Yingxia in the camera also chose the rice noodles with the same patterned packaging that the fat man chose, and poured out all the rice noodles. Wen Xinyuan saw this and started to make a fuss again.

"Are your steps for marinating beef the same? It feels like the method is a little different from what we usually use." Zhao Xiaojing asked again.

In the small shot just now, Guan Yingxia's pickled meat seemed to be different from mine, but because it was a panoramic view, I couldn't see it completely.

"It's different. Each one has its own method. But to save time, the meat is sliced ​​thinner and the marinating method is also changed. If we follow our normal steps, the meat would have to be marinated for more than ten minutes, which is not enough."

Zhao Xiaojing nodded. There are indeed many ways to quickly marinate meat, and everyone uses them differently. For example, when Nie Xiuqi marinates beef, he sometimes adds kiwi to make it tender, and when she fries beef herself, she adds pineapple to soften it, and so on.

Guan Yingxia on the screen had chopped all the ingredients in a blink of an eye. Even the mung bean sprouts were neatly cut off at the heads and tails. The sauce was also prepared and placed aside. The whole person and the dish looked particularly pleasing to the eye. Yu Yiyuan had prepared all the ingredients neatly and adjusted the sauce for the bowl.

"You know what, watching a beautiful woman cook is such a pleasure. If it was a fat guy cooking...tsk tsk tsk tsk." Wen Xinyuan leaned back in his chair, praising Guan Yingxia while not forgetting to criticize the fat guy, while Yu Yiyuan was automatically ignored by him.

"If it were me, I would be so ashamed to death if you saw me like that." The fat man sneered at the screen.
