Chapter 88 Shacha Sauce Beef Hotpot
Xue Qi looked at the subtitles on the little Pixiu's head and was stunned for a second.
Seeing her stunned, Cao Feng asked in confusion: "What's going on?"
Xue Qi shook his head: "Oh, it's okay."
During these days of raising the little Pixiu, Xue Qi was very motivated to make money. After all, this child was a real money-eating beast. Not only did she have to eat human food, she also had to "eat" some gold and silver treasures so that her abilities could be restored for a long time.
This little guy is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed. He would rather let his own divine power be lost than let Xue Qi, who has worked hard to earn money, spend any more money.
The little Pixiu's magical power cannot be restored, which has a great impact on her growth.
She is a Pixiu, who has lived for hundreds of years, yet is only the size of a three and a half year old child.
If she wants to synchronize her growth with that of the human cub, she will have to expend divine power to maintain it.
But the little Pixiu was too sensible and would rather let its divine power gradually dissipate than actively "eat" some gold and silver treasures.
Now, the little Pixiu can actually absorb the "jealousy" of the reborn girl Yuan Meng to increase its lost divine power.
At present, when the Pixiu's divine power increases to a certain level, it can also unlock special skills.
The little Pixiu has acquired the skill [Wealth Rolling Level 2]. Xue Qi understood the literal meaning as the ability to improve wealth.
Cao Feng thought she was thinking about what had just happened, so he comforted her, "Don't worry about it. Think about it from another perspective. We're very lucky. The kindergarten's interview with parents is also an interview with them by us parents. We should be thankful that we saw the quality of these teachers clearly during the interview. We knew from the beginning that the teachers here were not of high quality, so we didn't send our child in. If we had only discovered the problem after we sent our child in, the price we paid would have been too high."
This angle made Xue Qi feel novel, and she whispered:
"My dear husband, you are such a clever little idiot. If you think about it from this perspective, I really feel much better. Besides, it seems like we are really interviewing for the Golden Apple. It's quite refreshing. I really like this self-comforting perspective."
Cao Feng smiled.
In fact, isn’t he the one interviewing for the kindergarten?
Golden Apple is a private school, with Fengkai Group holding shares. Now that this incident has happened, he knows that this kindergarten needs to be rectified.
While Xue Qi was talking, he had already prepared the dishes and started preparing the soup base for the hot pot.
The key ingredients of spicy hotpot, chili pepper and bean paste, were removed by the program crew, so spicy hotpot could no longer be made. Xue Qi planned to try Chaoshan beef hotpot.
Although Chaoshan beef hotpot does not require stir-fried spicy spices, it does require making authentic shacha sauce.
In order to count the traffic of the family group during the live broadcast, the live broadcast room is now divided into four split screens, and the audience can choose one of them to enlarge and watch.
Each group of households has a corresponding camera.
The food guide added, "The live broadcast room has been divided into four sections. Now, we need the little ones from our four families to be the food explainers. They need to explain everything from the preparation process to the eating process in detail to attract our upcoming diners!"
The program team equipped each child with a loudspeaker.
Xiaoyu is an introvert by nature. She is usually afraid to express herself or talk to others, let alone explain things to others.
He timidly hid behind his mother and whispered, "Mom, I don't want to."
Mother Liu said patiently, "Xiaoyu, no, this is the rule. Didn't you tell me when you came to participate in this program? You have to be obedient and good. This is a rare opportunity for you and Dad to travel together. Do you want to give up like this?"
The little fish pursed his lips and tears welled up in his eyes.
Mother Liu continued, "Don't you want to help Dad get first place in the trip?"
"think……"
Xiaoyu finally mustered up the courage, walked back to the cart, and began to explain:
"This is the hot and sour rice noodles my father made. First, you have to boil the soup, then add the seasoning. It's delicious..."
Following his son's simple and pale explanation, Emperor Liu had already prepared the hot and sour sauce for ten soup bowls. When the diners came, he could put the noodles into the pot.
As for Yuan Meng, Yuan Ting and Zhang Yu didn't need to give her any psychological support at all.
She explained how to make candied haws to the camera and composed a song:
"Tanghulu, Tanghulu, sweet and sour Tanghulu.
Strawberry, hawthorn, grape and pineapple are so crispy!
After eating one string, I have no worries, and after eating two strings, I am happy! "
The process of making candied haws is simple and the sentences are short, which means that she cannot have an advantage in explaining it.
With less explanation, the audience's attention is naturally less, which is not conducive to their company attracting audience traffic.
So, in order to attract enough attention during the live broadcast, Yuan Meng ran to ask the staff of the program team for some white paper and started drawing flyers on the spot.
Because she is too small, her paintings are not as mature as those of an adult, but they are still quite decent.
Netizens of the barrage saw this:
"My goodness, this kid is a genius, right? He's only three and a half years old, and he's already so powerful!"
"Mr. and Mrs. Yuan Ting are amazing. Their daughter is not only smart, but also has a talent for business."
"66666... This Yuan Meng is really awesome."
"Mengbao is the best! Mengbao mommy loves you! Mommy will give you spaceships and rockets! Go for mommy!"
"Little Mengbao, Mommy loves you!"
…
Yuan Meng carefully drew flyers for candied haws, and during the process, she glanced at the silly fat girl squatting on the ground rubbing peanuts not far away, feeling a pang of sneer in her heart.
When it comes to explanation, how could these kids possibly be her match?
In addition, she drew up flyers and came up with a marketing strategy that other children could not think of. The audience must like her more at this time.
After all, who doesn't like smart kids?
She is confident that she can use her own strength to attract diners to spend money and make their food truck a lot of money.
Shi Yuanbao is an extrovert and naughty boy. At this moment, he sits on a small stool with his legs crossed like an old man, casually explaining the pancakes made by his father.
Jianbingguozi is easy to make, and he has been eating it since he was a child, so he can't think of any beautiful words to describe it.
After he finished mechanically explaining Jianbing Guozi, he sighed and said, "Well, it's delicious anyway, so just buy it. It's just a Jianbing Guozi, is there any need to explain it..."
His mother couldn't help but knocked his little head: "Can you be serious, kid?"
Shi Yuanbao rubbed his head and said speechlessly, "Mom, you can't afford to pay for breaking my precious head. Be gentle... Don't worry, I will definitely help you sell the pancakes later."
His mother glanced at him sideways and said, "With your lazy and carefree attitude, do you think I can trust you?"
Shi Yuanbao blinked his confident eyes and patted his chest: "If the sales revenue can't reach the top two, I will sell it myself and apologize!"
Shi's mother looked at her son with disdain: "Sell you?"
Barrage:
"Hahaha, is it okay to sell yourself? Yuanbao, don't get angry with your mother. It's not easy for your mother either."
"Mother Shi: You? There's no way you can sell it!"
"Hahahaha, seeing my mother's disgusted expression, it almost made me laugh to death, hahaha."
"This is so funny! The interaction between Shi Mama and Yuan Bao is so cute! Shi Mama, while everyone is having fun, why don't you give Yuan Bao a beating to liven things up!"
"The one in front, you're going too far, hahaha!"
…
The traffic of the three groups of families soared due to the children’s explanations, and the traffic of Yuan Meng’s family directly ranked first.
Only Xue Qi's group had its traffic plummet, ranking last among the four groups.
In the barrage, some of Yuan Meng's fans started to praise and criticize:
"The three groups of kids are trying their best to explain and even prepare, but why is this little chubby girl still rubbing peanuts?"
"What is this little fat girl doing? She's holding a bowl of peanuts and rubbing them together. She's going to explain!"
"Are you having stage fright?"
"I'm not watching this livestream anymore. It's boring. I want to hear you explain, but you're just rubbing peanuts here."
Xue Qi's fans responded to these comments:
"Whether you want to watch or not, our Pipi cubs are so cute making peanuts. What's wrong? Are you jealous? Haha."
"That's right, we just love to see Pipi Zai make mistakes with peanuts. What's wrong? Not convinced? If you don't agree, go and rub it too!
"What's wrong with these haters? They're so excited just because a kid helps them rub peanuts?"
"These netizens are really inexplicably smearing."
When netizens in the live broadcast room were arguing about the little Pixiu not explaining, the little Pixiu came to Cao Feng with the peanuts he had rolled.
She handed the peanuts over and said in a sweet voice, "Fenfen Dad, these are peanuts. I've kneaded them well. See if they work!"
Cao Feng took the peanuts and fiddled with them with his hands, and found that the little Pixiu had rubbed the red skin of each peanut clean.
The peanuts that have lost their red skin are now white and plump, and look more appetizing.
Cao Feng crushed the peanuts into powder according to Xue Qi's instructions.
At the same time, the little Pixiu was not idle either. He brought a small stool over, stood on it, looked at the stove of the fast food truck, and cleared his throat.
The child's voice is soft and milky, and his pronunciation is unclear when he speaks normally, but at this critical moment, his pronunciation immediately becomes clear, crisp and full.
She put her chubby hands behind her back as if reciting a lesson, puffed out her round watermelon belly, and said with full vigor:
"Hello everyone! I'm Cao Pipi, the tour guide for the Pink Peach Car! Next, I'm going to tell you about the beef fou pot that my mom made!
77's mom is amazing! Even after being challenged by the staff and having her large chili peppers removed, she still managed to make a delicious hot pot! This is called Shantou hot pot. First, we need to make some delicious shacha sauce!
"Keep your eyes open! Don't miss it! 77's mom is preparing the ingredients! If I remember correctly, 77's mom said that this hot pot is divided into four main parts: seafood, nuts, spices, and delicious side dishes."
Xue Qi was processing seafood at the same time. Every time she added a seasoning, the little Pixiu would announce in its cute little soft voice:
"Mother 77 is making the seafood part. She's using dried scallops, large shrimps, dried shrimp skins, and dried sea bass!"
Xue Qi soaked the dried scallops until softened and chopped them into small pieces, and then separated the pure meat part of the bighead carp from the bones.
Chop the meaty part into pieces, put it into a frying pan together with dried shrimps, dried shrimps and sesame seeds, stir-fry until crispy, then mix in peeled crispy peanuts and blend them in a food processor. Do the same with the spices.
In addition, mix and chop the chili peppers, shallots, garlic, and galangal.
After all the ingredients are minced, heat the oil in a pan and start frying the shacha sauce.
When the shacha sauce became rich, the fish bone and beef bone soup that Xue Qi had prepared at the same time also began to boil.
In another pot, add onions when the oil is hot, and stir-fry with mixed sauces such as shacha sauce. When the aroma comes out, pour in the thick soup and continue to cook in a pressure cooker.
During the whole process, the little Pixiu never stopped talking, unlike the children in other groups who only explained a few sentences and then finished.
The child's voice is cute and sweet, with a lot of milk in it.
In particular, she tried her best to imitate the steadiness of adults, but with a watermelon belly, which made many viewers feel cute.
In the barrage, people kept sending pink bubbles:
"Ahhhh! This kid's explanation is so adorable! I declare this the cutest explanation of the year. If you don't agree, come and argue! You're always right!"
"Fuck, this little chubby girl is so cute even when she's so serious."
"Pipi, you're so cute! Keep going, Pipi! I want to hear your cute announcement!"
"Is this a baby voice? Mom, I can't stand it anymore, my heart is melting! qaq"
"My health bar is empty. Anyone want to steal the baby? Team up!"
"Mengbao is so cute! Pipi is so cute too! Just ask, who can not love a baby like this? Who can!"
…
Because of the little Pixiu’s explanation, "Baby's Cooking" once again became a hot topic.
The most delicious baby guide
Click on the topic to see the video clip, in which a three-and-a-half-year-old chubby girl stands on a stool and explains food.
Xue Qi could explain each step clearly in her baby voice.
This video clip has captivated many netizens:
"Fuck, are you trying to trick me into having a daughter?"
"It's so cute! This kid is so amazing, so cute."
"So cute!"
"Wow, wow, someone else's daughter, and they're trying to trick me into giving birth to a daughter again. I can't stand it, I'll give birth! Is it okay if I give birth to a daughter? If it's not a daughter, the production team will compensate me with one!"
"This kid is so talented! He can even explain how Xue Qi cooks! Even adults might not be able to do that, right?"
"Is this talent? No wonder Xue 77 adopted her. She's so well-behaved and smart! Is this the legendary 'simultaneous interpretation'?"
"You're such a jerk! You tricked me into contributing traffic to you during work hours. If the boss catches you, you'll get a deduction! Okay, I'm going to watch the live broadcast. Call me when the boss comes. qaq"
…
Xue Qi's family, who originally ranked at the bottom of the live broadcast room traffic, suddenly soared to the first place, and the live broadcast room traffic skyrocketed.
As the kindergarten bell rang, teachers and children spontaneously came to the "snack street".
When the children saw the red candied haws from afar, they rushed towards the food cart of Yuan Meng's family group and lined up to get the candied haws.
The teams of teachers and students split up in front of the stalls, with Yuan Meng's team being the longest and having the most people.
Xue Qi's side had the fewest people because he was still making broth and had no food to sell.
The few people queuing in front of the food truck were all her fans who often watched her food videos, as well as a few children who were queuing randomly.
In order to stir up some discussion, the production team deliberately asked the four children, "Who do you think is most likely to take first place? Are you confident in yourselves?"
Xiaoyu pursed her lips and said nothing. Shi Yuanbao was dismissive: "I don't know if I can get first place, but I can't be last, even if my dad's pancakes are just average. But the most important thing in business isn't the product, but the marketing strategy! Just wait and see, I will definitely make our pancakes sell well!"
After saying that, Yuanbao picked up the watercolor pen and painted colorful patterns on his own and his mother's faces, including big hams and large pieces of pork belly.
Then he found two blankets and wrapped himself and his mother in them. The two dressed up, one big and one small, stood in front of the dining car to greet people.
Sure enough, the children in Yuan Meng's long line were also curious when they saw the two interesting signs, and they all ran over to watch.
Shi Yuanbao said, "Everyone, calm down and line up. Did you see the sausage on my face? Actually, Mom and Dad and I are aliens. This is our alien pancake! Eat our alien pancake and you'll become very strong!"
When the children heard this, they rushed over and clamored to eat the alien pancakes!
Yuan Meng frowned as she watched most of her customers being snatched away. She also said, "Our candied haws are alien candied haws. Eating them can make you stronger!"
However, it is lunch time now and the children are very hungry.
These children came from well-off families and had plenty of sweets to eat. But Jianbing Guozi was something special to them; it was a local delicacy that many of them had never tasted.
In comparison, they are more interested in alien pancakes.
Barrage:
"Yuan Bao is a real marketing genius. With this brand marketing strategy, Yuan Meng's flyers seem useless. These kids are obviously more interested in Yuan Bao's alien pancakes."
"This little Yuanbao is really talented. He had already figured out how to market his products, but he didn't do it at the beginning. He was probably guarding against other competitors. This kid is smart and very cautious."
"Yuanbao is awesome. Xue 77 hasn't opened his stall yet, so I wonder how it will perform once it does. And Yuan Meng's candied haws are more popular with kids who want something new because they're new to the scene. After losing their customers to Yuanbao, their traffic is even lower than Liu Yingdi's hot and sour noodles!"
"Actually, Yuan Meng's group has the biggest advantage. Making candied haws is simple, and there are many styles that can be made. Plus, kids love candy, so this group definitely has a good hand. But this group just wanted to take shortcuts, but didn't think about the positioning issue."
"Yes, I noticed that too. It's lunchtime now, and the candied haws that seem to be more popular with the kids are actually not as popular. Everyone is hungry and would rather eat the delicious staple food than the candied haws."
Just as the barrage was praising Yuanbao, Xue Qi finally opened the stall and took off the lid of the soup pot.
As soon as the lid of the pot was lifted, a stream of hot steam gushed out, and suddenly the air was filled with fragrance.
When everyone smelled the fragrance, they all looked in the direction.
Xue Qi's kitchen was boiling with thick soup. She cooked beef meatballs and blanched beef according to the first customer's request.
The broth is rich and sweet, and each part of the beef is cut clearly by Xue Qi, turning it into plates of beef with different names. Each piece of meat has its own standard boiling time.
She would patiently put whatever ingredients the diners ordered into the pot, scoop out all the ingredients in time, put them into a disposable lunch box, sprinkle some chopped green onions, and finally pour rich broth on it.
Xue Qi’s beef balls are chewy and tender, and each part of the beef tastes different and has its own character.
After finishing all the food, having a mouthful of delicious soup at the end is such a pleasure!
The teachers and children who got the beef hotpot were conquered at the first bite. If it weren’t for the rule that only one portion could be purchased, they would have wanted to order another one.
After the teachers drank the last mouthful of soup, they felt refreshed and satisfied. They said to each other:
"77 really doesn't let us down! This is so delicious. Each piece of beef from different parts has a different texture. And these beef balls are so chewy! I love them!"
"In my opinion, this soup is the best! When I drink it, the delicious taste can burn my internal organs. It's so delicious!"
"You guys are exaggerating! I think this is just a mediocre hot pot that I would never regret eating. Wow, I want another bowl. qaq"
Children have less self-control than teachers. Even if they are allowed to buy only one portion, their appetites are aroused and they naturally start to act unethically.
They held their empty bowls and said in unison in front of Xue Qi's dining cart:
"Sister 77, give us another bowl!"
"Yes, yes, Sister 77, beautiful sister, give me another bowl!"
"Sister 77, do you need a son? I can also accompany you to record the show, as long as you provide me with food. qaq"
"Sister 77, Sister 77, I want more!"
"I want one too!"
If Cao Feng and the teachers had not patiently guided the children, the children would have overturned the food cart.
The noise and aroma of the hot pot here also attracted the attention of other children. They also followed the trend and lined up here. After eating the hot pot, they were all amazed.
So delicious!
The other three families were also drooling at the smell of the hot pot.
Yuan Ting and Zhang Yu, a married couple, were so angry when they saw how angry Xue Qi was, but she couldn't show it in front of the camera.
Yuan Meng, who was full of confidence, did not expect that they would be at the bottom of the list. When the food guide announced that Xue Qi's group earned 5,000 yuan, while they only earned 500 yuan, the huge gap instantly hurt Yuan Meng's heart.
After a busy day, four groups of families returned to the hotel to rest.
When Xue Qi and her family of three came out of the elevator and said goodbye to Yuan Meng's family, she clearly saw a striking subtitle appear above the little girl's head:
【Yuan Meng's jealousy is 50.】
She looked down at the little Pixiu chewing a pancake in her hand, and a subtitle appeared above the little girl's head:
[The Pixiu's power increases by 50, and its skill [Wealth Rolling In] is upgraded to level 30.]
As the name suggests, this skill should improve your fortune.
Their financial luck today is indeed good.
When they returned to the room, Xue Qi and Cao Feng prepared milk powder for the little Pixiu. Just as they sat down to rest, they received a text message from the program crew.
Cao Feng asked: "What's the message?"
Xue Qi said, "Oh, tomorrow's rules. It says that our cooking skills are incredible, like we have cheat codes. To make the competition fairer, the production team will cover our food truck with a sheet and let the children buy food from it by opening blind boxes. To increase the excitement of the show, the last-place family will not be able to stay in the hotel suite tomorrow and will have to stay in the rat-infested warehouse in the kindergarten."
Cao Feng frowned. "This is trying to make things difficult for us. Opening a blind box is a matter of luck. They must be targeting us, and if they are targeting us, they will definitely not let us win. So, even if our food is good, it may not necessarily attract diners to buy our dishes."
Xue Qi: "Yeah. The Yuan Ting couple has a strong relationship with the production team. We have had conflicts with them before, and it's not surprising that they are targeting us and secretly doing this kind of tricks against us."
But Xue Qi was not worried at all.
They will not suffer any loss from this blind box business method that relies on financial luck.
Compete for wealth?
Haha, they have a living Pixiu with the skill of [Rolling Fortune]!
Cao Feng was worried that Xue Qi would be wronged, so he whispered, "77, they are going too far. This program, you——"
Before he could finish his words, Xue Qi interrupted him.
Xue Qi held his hand and began his domineering offensive:
"Hubby, don't worry. As long as I, Xue 77, am here, I will never let you suffer even the slightest injustice. They don't want us to win, but I insist on winning first place and giving it to you as a wedding present! If they bully you by one point, I will destroy them three times."
Cao Feng: "? That's not necessary."
Xue Qi: "Why are you so stupid? If you encounter any problems in the future, don't be too good-tempered. I will stand up for you, so don't stop me, okay?"
Cao Feng was speechless, but still said: "...You are so good to me."
Xue Qi: "Oh, there's nothing I can do. You're my husband. The world is so big. But you walked into my fish pond. I naturally won't allow you to suffer any injustice."
This time, Cao Feng was completely silent.
Xue Qi was relieved to see him silent.
Cao Feng must have been shocked by her sincere and domineering words. He must have felt very sweet, pampered and touched.
This is exactly the kind of sweet pet-like effect she wants.
After saying the female boss's quotes, it is natural to look the man in the eye affectionately.
She looked at Cao Feng with deep affection.
The man was stunned for a moment, then kissed her lips with helplessness.
Xue Qi: “!”
As expected, no one can resist the words of a domineering boss. He surrendered to her sweet words, so he couldn't help but kiss her.
The little Pixiu beside him was speechless, holding his forehead with his fat hand: "..."
This is what Brother Sun Shaoqi said...
Is the married woman too greasy?
