Chapter 356 The Movie King's Dark Cuisine
I thought that as it got darker, there would be fewer people selling coriander, but now there are more and more. Song Zhiyuan left the live broadcast room and took over from his cousin to start recording the coriander he collected.
An hour later, after several people had taken turns beating the eggs, they finally finished beating them. Shen Jingmo mixed coriander juice into the beaten egg whites.
After stirring several times, the egg whites were dyed blue and then mixed with other ingredients. Shen Jingmo poured the cake batter into the mold and placed it in the brick kiln that the staff had built for them in the corner.
Since it was their first time using a brick kiln, they didn't control the temperature well, so when the cakes were taken out of the kiln, there was a thick layer of burnt crust on the surface.
Song Zhiwei tapped it twice with a knife and asked, "Is it burnt?"
This is the result of nearly two hours of work by several people. I didn’t expect that it would be roasted into charcoal in the end. It hurts just thinking about it.
[This is the first time I’ve seen an award-winning actor cook a dark dish.]
[This isn't the actor's fault. My actor is a great cook. It's all the production crew's fault for using all these crappy tools. These things probably wouldn't have been used in the 1980s, and yet the director let the actor and his crew use them.]
"If only the surface is burnt, it's not too bad." Shen Jingmo took the cake base upside down from the bowl and cut it in half with a knife.
After cutting the cake in half, I found that the outside of the cake was burnt, and the inside was still stuck with wet batter and not cooked.
It was obvious that the cake was ruined and not a single bite could be eaten.
Shen Jingmo separated the two layers of cake and placed them on a plate. "Is the fan who wanted the cake still in the live broadcast room?"
Yes, yes.
Shen Jingmo explained, "There is no problem with the steps and proportions of making the cake. You can use an egg beater at home, which can save a lot of effort. It's just that our tools on site are limited, so it's not baked well. You can use the oven to adjust the upper heat to 180 degrees and the lower heat to 160 degrees, and bake for thirty to forty minutes.
The baking time depends entirely on the size of your cake. During this time, you can take it out and poke it with a toothpick to see if it is done. A well-baked cake will have no sticking toothpick.
[Hearing this, I suddenly felt that there was no need to make this cake. Wouldn't it be better to just buy one?]
Compared to making cakes, I still think making dumplings is easier. Dumplings are more suitable for the physique of Chinese babies.
[Just got off work and came to the live studio. I didn't realize that the actor and his team also made dumplings. Do you have a video of the live broadcast? I also want to learn how to make cilantro dumplings.]
[Official Weibo released a video edit.]
Ma Tao knew how to capture traffic, and he had already arranged staff to temporarily edit several videos of making dumplings and sent them out, which became a hot topic in the shortest time.
The production team seemed to have some conscience this time and bought them pre-whipped cream.
Shen Jingmo continued, "The cake base ratio has been posted on the official Weibo by the program team. Next, I will teach you how to spread the cream."
Shen Jingmo spread the cream on the center of the cut cake. After spreading the cream all over, he sprinkled the chopped coriander on the cream and spread another layer of seasoned cream.
[Are you sure this coriander cake isn't some kind of dark cuisine?]
[I don’t know if coriander cake is a dark cuisine, but this cake is definitely a dark cuisine.]
Shen Jingmo stacked another piece of cake on the cream, controlled the plate under the cake with one hand, and skillfully spread cream on the cake with the other hand. In just a short while, the dark cake was covered with a layer of light cream.
[Honestly, just looking at its appearance, I can't imagine it's the black cake from earlier.]
【It is possible to make it look real. 】
[I said my actor's cooking skills wouldn't fail, it's all the production crew's fault.]
After spreading the outer layer of cream smoothly, Shen Jingmo decorated it with coriander leaves and stuck them on the edge of the cake. He then made two roses with cream and placed them on the top layer.
[What kind of idol is this movie star? He can even make cakes.]
[Another day of envying Sister Song. ]
Their kitchen was not cleaned up yet. Lin Yuan and Zhou Qingli, who had been shooting skits outside all day, came back one after another. They were especially pleased to see so many corianders and staff members in the small square.
Zhou Qingli and Lin Yu'an once thought they had come to the wrong place.
After seeing Song Zhiyuan, Shen Jingmo and others, he was sure that he had not come to the wrong place.
As Zhou Qingli walked, he asked mockingly, "Are you getting so much cilantro to resell?"
"How did Sister Qingli know that? We are just reselling coriander. These are the fruits of half a year's labor for the entire Jiujiang Town." Cheng Yuhan was proud of their achievements this afternoon.
I have been recording programs for so long, but I have never done anything so meaningful.
Zhou Qingli rolled his eyes at Cheng Yuhan and said, "I don't want to talk to a traitor."
"Even if you resell a lot, these broken corianders are not worth much money." Zhou Qingli has always had the support of light and shadow behind her since her debut. She doesn't need to do this kind of live broadcast to sell goods, but she is very clear about some of the unwritten rules.
Especially this kind of fresh products.
Lowest profit.
"You can't calculate it that way," Song Zhiyuan continued. "Even capitalists should understand that they should take from the people and give back to the people."
Zhou Qingli sneered, "You are all so aloof."
[Sister Song doesn't need to argue with Zhou Qingli. Arguing with Zhou Qingli about these things is like talking at cross purposes.]
[Today's capitalists have the same mindset as Zhou Qingli, only wanting to squeeze every last drop of blood out of us.]
Song Zhiyuan was too lazy to continue talking to Zhou Qingli.
It's already eight o'clock in the evening, and there are still quite a few people selling coriander in the small square.
An elderly man in tattered clothes asked cautiously after receiving the money, "Young man, how many days will you be collecting the tax here?"
The recording of their program will end at noon the day after tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happens, Ma Tao should not postpone it. Zhou Qi informed the old man of the time when their recording will end.
Hearing this, the old man thought for a moment and muttered to himself, "It seems I need to collect more at night."
Zhou Qi looked at the old man's hunched back and was hesitant to speak.
After the old man walked away, Zhou Qi found Song Zhiyuan who was broadcasting live. "Yuanyuan, do you want to discuss with the production team to extend the recording time? I'm afraid the local villagers won't be able to harvest all the coriander before we finish recording."
Song Zhiyuan has already considered this issue.
Song Zhiyuan was quite surprised to hear these words from his cousin.
Ever since my cousin went abroad, he has had the temperament of an evil capitalist in his bones.
Song Zhiyuan joked, "How come my cousin has changed his personality after participating in a program?"
"I've always been very empathetic, okay?" Zhou Qi looked unconvinced by his little cousin's teasing.
Song Zhiyuan instead got down to business. "Ma Tao has already helped us a lot this time. Postponing the recording session might put him in a difficult position. I'll call the director of the town office to see if they can get some people to go to the fields and help the villagers harvest coriander."
