The host, Brother Yang, was actually laughing wildly in his heart, but he was afraid that his face would be distorted, so he deliberately lowered his head and pretended to adjust the microphone. However, he thought this part would be cut out in post-production.
Kong Shen turned his head nonchalantly: "Ah, um, Chef Xiaoye, can we start frying the beef ribs? Actually, I have a question too. Can we eat these beef ribs without washing them?"
"Didn't you just eat it?" Ye Tian reflexively replied, then explained with a smile, "It's best not to wash steaks like these. They're cut by machines, so they don't get dirty. If you wash them, it will damage the fibers on the surface of the meat, loosen it, and affect the taste. Actually, the steaks you eat at Western restaurants aren't washed either, so don't worry too much about it."
"Oh oh oh, luckily I don't have mysophobia." Kong Shen shrugged his shoulders in a somewhat Western manner.
Yue Xinxin was very angry, and no one around her paid any attention to her, so she had no choice but to pick up the pan and start frying the beef ribs.
She studied adult education at the Film and Television Academy, a program she paid to enroll in several years after her debut. She felt that Ye Tian's question about whether she graduated from a 985 university was a deliberate mockery of her. But she seemed to have forgotten that she had been the one to provoke Ye Tian by saying she had never been to college.
Ye Tian pretended nothing had happened and walked behind the two guests. "Teacher Yue, you need to heat the wok first. Wait until it's slightly smoking before adding the beef ribs. Don't rush."
Yue Xinxin pretended not to hear and hurriedly threw the beef ribs into the pan, almost tipping it over. Ye Tian reacted quickly with her left hand, pushing Yue Xinxin back and reaching out with her right hand to grip the handle. "It's okay, don't be afraid, this won't splash oil."
Kong Shen also reached out, and only felt relieved when he saw Ye Tian had already grabbed the pot. Brother Yang was also startled beside him.
Director Hua Jie was even more apprehensive in front of the camera. She was irritated by the fact that Yue Xinxin often posted food photos on Weibo, and she'd assumed she could cook. It was all just a facade; it was obvious she'd never even touched a pot. Seeing her cooking and getting such a long manicure, she had no idea what she was doing there. Hua Jie began to feel bad about the 200,000 yuan announcement fee.
"Thank you!" Yue Xinxin rarely said thank you, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Ye Tian was no longer provocative, and even turned into gratitude.
"You're welcome. The beef ribs are getting burnt. Turn them over quickly!" Ye Tian replied.
"Teacher Kong, don't rush to flip it. Wait until one side is fried before turning it over. This will ensure that the moisture is locked in." Ye Tian calmly instructed Kong Shen again as if nothing had happened.
After seeing this, Sister Hua couldn't help but praise Ye Tian in her heart: This girl is very calm and has the style of a general.
After a lot of trouble, the cooking process for the day was finally completed. Neither Hua Jie nor the host had expected that the first day of filming would be so difficult.
But Sister Hua thought the other way around. Although the bickering and the almost pot-turning incident were not very nice to watch, maybe they didn't need to be edited. Maybe they could even be used as a selling point. Yue Xinxin herself didn't care, so why not broadcast it for the audience to see!
Yue Xinxin was quite happy at the moment, ready to try the black pepper beef ribs she had made. After all, she had personally created the dish, and she was a little proud. But after taking a bite, she was immediately stunned: "The cooking process is obviously similar, why is my recipe so unpalatable?"
Reluctantly, she tried another piece of beef ribs cooked by Kong Shen. Although it was not as delicious as Ye Tian's, it was still acceptable and much better than hers.
Faced with Yue Xinxin's plate, Kong Shen and Yang Ge hesitated with their chopsticks. Only Ye Tian bravely picked up a piece and ate it without changing her expression.
"The beef is a little overcooked and tough, and the sauce isn't stirred well, so the taste is uneven. Everything else is okay, try better next time!" Ye Tian was very objective and encouraging, and didn't laugh at Yue Xinxin.
Yue Xinxin's eyes lit up, a look like a fangirl's. She felt a surge of regret: Why did I get so mad at a girl several years younger than me? Was it just because she was pretty and young? Alas, she was indeed pretty, could cook, was a serious college student, and could protect me in a critical moment. This seemed like something I truly envied and admired!
After filming the first episode, Ye Tian also felt tired. It was really difficult to work with people. Pots, pans, meats and vegetables were the most enjoyable and comfortable things.
Fortunately, the filming went smoothly for the next five days. The artists who came were all very friendly. Even though some were a little standoffish, they were all very cooperative.
But the person who left the best impression on Ye Tian was Kong Shen. He is really a very humble, low-key, polite and graceful artist.
When the filming of the program ended, Kong Shen walked to Ye Tian on purpose and took the initiative to add her on WeChat. He smiled and said that he wanted to ask her for cooking advice in the future and asked her not to be bothered.
Unexpectedly, Yue Xinxin also added me on WeChat. She looked embarrassed and like a young girl, completely different from her previous arrogant look.
Ye Tian felt that Yue Xinxin was insecure and could only deliberately put on airs to scare people. In fact, she was not a bad person, so she added her on WeChat.
Sister Hua is very satisfied with Ye Tian's performance in the past few days. If the ratings are good after the show is broadcast, they will continue to shoot a few episodes, and they will definitely invite Ye Tian again then.
With only one day left of vacation, Ye Tian had a small gathering with her master and his wife, and then flew back to Hubin City in the afternoon.
After returning, it was all about saying goodbye, completing contract paperwork, and various handovers. Ten days later, Ye Tian, Li Bing, and Master Meng became the owners of the three canteens. Xiao Du stayed to work, and the others stopped coming. It's hard not to sigh at how fast the world is changing.
Similarly, Master Sun and Aunt Liu, who had worked together for more than a year, were leaving, and everyone was quite emotional at the farewell banquet.
As comrades who had fought side by side, they would soon go their separate ways, and everyone was inevitably feeling sad about parting. Master Sun was also drunk that day, and it was everyone who sent him to the taxi.
Xiao Li and Xiao Juan insisted on sending Ye Tian back to the dormitory first. On the way, Ye Tian felt a little cool in the early autumn evening breeze. She pulled her denim jacket tighter, took Xiao Juan's arm, and strode forward.
In just one year, some people came to her side, and some people left. The coming and going never stopped. This is the normal state of life!
Life is a series of separations, reunions, and separations, before we each set sail again and move forward along different paths...
