Love Variety Show (Eleven)
Everyone had heard that Ruan Qi was a kitchen killer, but no one took it seriously.
Now seeing Xi Jiu’s serious expression, everyone couldn’t help but become curious.
"Teacher Xiaoqi really can't cook a single dish?"
"I can make it." Ruan Qi said innocently, "I've made scrambled eggs at home before."
“Is it delicious?”
Ruan Qi: "I don't know, I didn't eat it."
"Why?"
Ruan Qi: "Because I poked a big hole in the wok, the egg leaked out."
Everyone:? ? ?
"The wok... is leaking? Teacher Ruan, did you buy a defective one?"
"No, they're all reputable, big-name brands. Maybe I'm just too strong, but I always break things every time I cook." Ruan Qi counted on her fingers, recounting a glorious story from her past. "When I was sixteen and cooking for the first time, I accidentally let the oil bottle leak. The oil spilled onto the gas hood and nearly set the kitchen on fire."
"On my 18th birthday, I wanted to cook again, but my hands were too strong and I broke the kitchen knife and cutting board we just bought."
"It's happened a few times since we came to the capital, and we've changed our kitchenware several times. Later, when we moved to a courtyard house, my parents specially installed explosion-proof materials in the kitchen."
"Actually, I really don't think it's my fault. Everyone has different strength levels, and designers should take into account the issue of users being overly strong when designing kitchenware. I sincerely suggest that kitchenware brands release a set of kitchenware that can be used by people with greater strength. I will definitely buy the whole set."
Ruan Qi spoke to the camera with a sincere look on her face, and everyone was almost laughing to death.
[This is the first time I've heard of someone frying eggs so hard that the pan leaks. How strong is Ruan Qi?]
[After all, she's a woman who can tear a van apart with her bare hands.]
[The kitchen is equipped with explosion-proof materials... Hahaha, I really want to see with my own eyes how the soft treasure destroys the kitchen! ]
Seeing it with my own eyes was definitely impossible. This villa only had one kitchen. If Ruan Qi dared to destroy it, the program director would immediately hang himself at the Ruan family's gate.
For the sake of everyone's safety, Ruan Qi couldn't even step into the kitchen.
Xi Jiu was afraid that she would be bored, so he got a basin of peas and asked her to sit at the bar and peel them slowly.
The others divided the work and started busying themselves in the kitchen.
Xi Jiushi was in charge of cooking, Si Lin and Lan Lan were chopping vegetables, Ji Beibei and Ge Mei were washing them, and Ruan Qi was in charge of picking them. Everyone was working hard for dinner, except for one person.
Jiang Hengda.
Just now, when everyone was discussing the division of labor, this young master seemed to have disappeared, not saying a word. Everyone else took the initiative to take on the work, but he was the only one who huddled on the sofa, looking weak, as if he had just climbed Mount Everest instead of hiking for half an hour.
Jiang Hengda's intention to slack off was obvious to everyone, but no one bothered to argue with him. Lan Lan, on the other hand, felt deeply guilty and tried to take on more responsibility when she worked.
The kitchen soon became bustling.
Cooking enough food for eight people was a massive undertaking, and everyone put in a lot of effort just preparing the food. Ruan Qi, in charge of picking the vegetables, was even more busy. After shelling peas, she picked kidney beans, and then leeks. The hands that normally wielded needles and scalpels became emotionless picking machines, plucking each pot of greens neatly and cleanly.
"Xiao Qi, have you picked the leeks?" Ge Mei's voice came from the kitchen.
Ruan Qi patted the dirt off his hands, arranged the chives neatly, and handed the basin over.
"Aunt Mei, it's ready."
Ge Mei took the basin and looked at it, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Xiao Qi works so efficiently. The way these leeks are arranged is really friendly to people with obsessive-compulsive disorder."
Ruan Qi curled her eyes in embarrassment.
"I'm used to arranging surgical instruments, so I couldn't help but do the same when I was picking vegetables. Is there anything else I need to pick?"
Ge Mei looked around the kitchen and shook her head. "It should be gone for now. But... Hey hey hey! Si Lin, what are you doing? This meat is not cut like this, it's too thick!"
At this time, Si Lin was holding a kitchen knife and cutting a piece of pork with great difficulty.
Hearing Ge Mei's words, he raised his head with an embarrassed look on his face: "Aunt Mei, this pork is not frozen, I can't cut it that thin."
Meat that has not been frozen is difficult to cut. Although Si Lin has good knife skills, he is not a professional knife sharpener and cannot cut very thin slices of meat.
Seeing that he was so timid, Ruan Qi couldn't help but say, "How about I give it a try?"
"Xiao Qi, you can modify the knife?" Ge Mei was surprised.
Ruan Qi shook her head obediently: "No. I haven't cut vegetables much, but I often perform surgery. Scalpels require precision, so I should be able to do delicate work like slicing meat."
Ge Mei: “…”
She understood the principle, but why did it sound so terrifying?
In the end, Ruan Qi got the job of slicing meat.
And she certainly didn't disappoint. With her sharp knife, she sliced the red pork so thinly that it was translucent. To the naked eye, each slice of meat was almost exactly the same thickness.
Everyone was amazed by her skills.
"As expected of Mr. Beilou's direct disciple, your knife skills are incredible!"
"I've always heard that good doctors have particularly steady hands, and today I finally saw it for myself."
"The surgeries doctors perform are extremely delicate. If their hands shake, the patient's life could be lost, so they must have a steady hand."
"Oh my goodness. Teacher Ruan, if I get sick in the future, can you please perform surgery on me?"
Ruan Qi couldn't help laughing when she heard this.
"Sure. As long as I can cure it, I will definitely do it for you. But I still hope that day will never come."
Si Lin realized what was happening and nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, that's right. It would be best if that day never came and I never had to undergo surgery in my life."
Everyone chatted while working, and Ruan Qi quickly finished cutting the pork.
She neatly arranged the meat slices on a plate and was about to send it to the kitchen, but when she turned around, she almost bumped into Xi Jiu who was walking over.
"Baby, be careful." Xi Jiu reached out and held her steady.
Ruan Qi took two steps back, stood firm, and looked up: "Jiujiu, why are you walking without making any sound? You scared me."
"Yeah, my bad." Xi Jiu gently rubbed her head, took the plate, and asked, "Are you tired of cutting the meat? Are your wrists sore?"
"I'm not tired. This is just the beginning. When my master trained me to use a scalpel, I practiced for hours. Jiujiu, look, am I not cutting beautifully?"
The little girl picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks, her beautiful peach blossom eyes full of pride.
Xi Jiu's dark eyes were tinged with smile.
"Beautiful, the baby is the most amazing. He's great at surgery and cutting meat."
The man's 360-degree spiral of praise.
Ruan Qi felt a little embarrassed by the compliment and smiled shyly: "Jiujiu is amazing, she can cook so many dishes. Are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?"
"Not tired. I just made some croquettes. Want to try one?"
Xi Jiu conjured up a plate of meatballs from behind him like a magic trick. The meatballs were pure beef, each the size of a coin, and fried to a golden brown, looking very appetizing.
Ruan Qi had been hungry for a long time, and when he looked at the meatballs, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
"This meatball looks delicious..."
"Baby eat one?"
"No, that's not right, right?" Ruan Qi looked at everyone busy at work and shook her head. "No one has eaten yet. It's not appropriate to sneak in a meal. Let's eat together after we're done."
Everyone was busy, and Ruan Qi felt embarrassed to hide and eat secretly.
She reluctantly turned her eyes away from the meatballs, with a firm expression of "I'm not hungry".
Xi Jiu looked at her wanting to eat but unable to, curled his lips, and suddenly turned around and said to Ge Mei and Ji Beibei: "Teacher Ge, you two take a break and help me taste the saltiness of the meatballs."
When Ge Meiji Beibei, who was washing dishes and vegetables, heard this, she immediately put down her work and came over with chopsticks.
"Wow—Master Xi's fried meatballs are really good!"
"It does look very appetizing. Let me try it."
Ge Mei and Ji Beibei each picked up a meatball, put it in their mouths, and their eyes quickly lit up.
"tasty!"
“Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, Master Xi’s cooking is amazing!”
Ge Meiji and Beibei all gave thumbs up and couldn't help but pick one up each.
Seeing this, Xi Jiu turned to look at Ruan Qi, his eyes smiling: "Baby, do you want to try two too?"
With Ge Mei and Ji Beibei joining in, Ruan Qi was no longer eating alone. She quickly picked up a meatball with her chopsticks and her eyes curved with smile as she ate it.
"It's so delicious! Jiujiu, you're such a good cook!"
The little girl's eyes and eyebrows were filled with happiness. Xi Jiu looked at her, his deep black eyes filled with tenderness.
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh I’m overwhelmed! Mr. Xi’s eyes are so gentle, I’m drowning!]
Ruan Qi felt it was not good to eat alone, so he asked Ge Mei, Ji, and Bei Bei to come and eat together. How could Xi Jiu be so considerate!
[This is so sweet! Qijiu and I are so sweet! Even cooking is like showing off your love. How am I ever going to find a partner?!]
Netizens were so sweet that they kept screaming.
Ruan Qi finished two meatballs and stopped eating, asking Xi Jiu to take the plate away.
The food preparation work was soon completed, and the two chefs Xi Jiu and Shi Su began to get busy.
After Ruan Qi finished her work, she stood at the kitchen door and helped Xi Jiu from time to time.
Ge Mei and the others also stood aside, watching the two chefs cook.
Everyone gathered in the kitchen, talking and laughing——
Except Jiang Hengda.
Since the dinner was ready, Jiang Hengda had been staying in the living room, pretending to be weak. He was weak while everyone was preparing the food, and he was also weak while everyone was cooking.
Until Xi Jiushisu finished making the last dish——
Jiang Hengda seemed to have taken an elixir from Laozi. All his weakness disappeared. He jumped up from the sofa faster than anyone else and rushed to the dining table and sat down.
Ji Beibei, who was serving dishes to the restaurant, paused and rolled her eyes with her back to the camera.
"Everyone, stop being busy and eat first. I'll clean up the kitchen after we finish eating."
At Ge Mei's invitation, all the guests gathered in the restaurant.
Si Lin: "Come on, come on, the two chefs take the main seats."
Xi Jiu and Shi Su contributed the most to this dinner and were pushed to the center of the table by everyone.
Jiang Hengda, who was originally sitting in the main seat, was forcibly squeezed down.
But no one seemed to see him. Those who were holding the bowls and chopsticks were holding the bowls and chopsticks, and those who were serving the dishes were serving the dishes. Everyone was busy with their own things, and they all treated him as a transparent person.
Jiang Hengda's face darkened. He wanted to get angry, but he was wary of Xi Jiu's identity. Finally, he sat down at the table next to him with a sullen face, turned around and yelled at Lan Lan, "Why haven't you brought the dishes yet? You're so slow at work!"
Here we come~~~
