When Jiang Yue was carrying onions up the mountain, she ran into Brother Zhang who was coming down. Brother Zhang was a very honest man and wanted to help Jiang Yue carry them, but since they were heavy, Jiang Yue quickly refused: "Brother Zhang, I can do it myself. You've already helped me carry a bag of potatoes, so I can carry the rest myself. We've already finished talking to the production team, so you can go with them."
"No rush, I'll carry the water up for you. That thing is heavy. I'll leave after I carry the water up. The rest of the things are lighter, you can handle them yourself."
After finishing speaking, he left without waiting for Jiang Yue's reply. Jiang Yue called out twice, but he pretended not to hear her. Jiang Yue sighed and quickened her pace. When she arrived at the place, Jiang Yue took out her key and unlocked the door. Brother Zhang was very law-abiding. Although he would be coming up again in a while, he still locked the door. Opening and closing the door usually seems tedious, but if it can help you once in a critical moment, it might save your life.
After putting her things away, Jiang Yue locked the door and went downstairs to help Zhang Ge. Sure enough, Zhang Ge was very strong and carried four boxes of water. Jiang Yue wanted to help, but Zhang Ge refused: "The balance is just right. If you take one box down, the balance will be broken. I'll carry this one for you. You can clean up the rest yourself."
"Oh, I'm afraid my sister-in-law will scold me if she sees this."
"Haha, don't worry, your sister-in-law isn't that petty!"
"I'm not saying my sister-in-law is stingy, I'm just worried she'll feel bad about it, hahaha!"
The two chatted for a while, and after Zhang Ge rested for a bit, he continued walking uphill. After Jiang Yue came down to the platform, she tidied up her things, deciding that it wouldn't be too late to move them after Zhang Ge and the crew left. After Jiang Yue tied up the hammock, Zhang Ge also came down, looked at Jiang Yue's hammock, tried it out, and gave Jiang Yue a thumbs up.
"Why didn't I think of doing one? Sigh, I still don't know how to enjoy life. You young people are much more quick-witted."
"I'm leaving. You can pack up the rest yourself. It shouldn't rain today, so you can take your time."
"Okay, thank you for your help, Brother Zhang. I wish you and your wife a happy and enjoyable time together."
Thank you for your kind words!
After saying goodbye, the production crew's boat sailed away. After seeing everyone off, Jiang Yue prepared to cook: "Brothers, look what this is? Half a chopped chicken."
"And look what this is? Hazel mushrooms! So, can everyone guess what dish we're going to make? Okay, now for the correct answer: Chicken stew with mushrooms."
"First, we soak the hazel mushrooms to clean them. We need to soak them for a while, about two hours. While we're waiting, we wash the chicken."
After washing the chicken, Jiang Yue prepared the ingredients: scallions, ginger, star anise, and dried chili peppers. After the mushrooms were soaked, Jiang Yue washed the large iron pot on the stove, as stews cooked in a large iron pot over a wood-fired stove are the most fragrant.
After starting the fire, I boiled some water and washed the pot, and then I started cooking: "Okay, first heat the oil in the pot, then put the chicken in the pot, don't add any other seasonings, just dry-fry it."
"Stir-fry for a while longer until the chicken turns slightly yellow and firm. This will remove any unpleasant or fishy smells. Then you can add the spices."
"After stir-frying the spices until fragrant, add some Shaoxing wine (we'll use cooking wine instead), half a spoonful of light soy sauce and a little dark soy sauce, then stir-fry it to blend the flavors and bring out the color."
"That's it. Add boiling water, then pour in the water we used to soak the hazel mushrooms. Skim off the foam after the water boils, then cook for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, add the soaked mushrooms, some salt and chicken bouillon, cover and cook for another 30 minutes. Then add the soaked glass noodles."
"You can omit the noodles if you don't like them. It's not mandatory. After adding the noodles, cook for another five minutes, and then you can plate it."
After Jiang Yue finished cooking, the rice she had cooked was also ready. This dish would be a waste if it wasn't served with rice. Jiang Yue took her pot and put the chicken stew with mushrooms into it. She added some water to the large iron pot to prevent it from drying out and to prepare for washing the dishes later. She also pulled up some chilled beer from the sea. Then, she started eating at the table.
"Brothers, look at this chicken stew with mushrooms, it smells so good even before I've tasted it."
"Come on, fans, eat first, this chicken leg is for you!"
Jiang Yue didn't say a word while eating, her mouth never stopped. She ate a piece of chicken and a mushroom, and even had some glass noodles in between. Finally, she made some soup to soak rice. It was so delicious! Jiang Yue finished half a chicken in one meal, leaving only some mushrooms and glass noodles. After eating seafood for half a month, she was really getting tired of it.
"I can't take it anymore, I'm so full, I ate too much, burp~"
"I can't take it anymore, I need to get up and exercise. I set a bad example for everyone, so don't follow my example. I was thinking of eating it in two meals before I started, but once I started, I couldn't stop. The weather isn't too hot, so I'll take a short walk."
Jiang Yue rested for a while and then walked around the platform for thirty minutes. After walking around, she felt much better. Taking advantage of the light breeze, Jiang Yue lay down in a hammock. The sunshine, the beach (scratch that) and the sea breeze were so comfortable. Jiang Yue forgot to adjust the camera equipment, so she gave everyone in the live stream a live stream of her sleeping.
Jiang Yue woke up after sleeping for two hours. When she got up, she realized that she had forgotten to deal with the camera equipment and didn't know if it had been filmed. However, her priority now was to wash the pots and dishes. Jiang Yue didn't mind tidying up occasionally, but it used a lot of water. If it weren't for the large amount of water delivered today, she would have felt bad about wasting it.
It was already 7 p.m. when she woke up. She hadn't done her routine patrol yet, so she changed her shoes and headed up the mountain. Perhaps because she had eaten a delicious meal and was in a good mood, Jiang Yue only took 40 minutes to climb the mountain. It could also be because she was used to it or because the pill was working. She stayed at the top of the mountain for a while and chatted with everyone. Seeing that it was getting late, she set off down the mountain.
Back on the platform, Jiang Yue took out the small screen that came with the filming equipment and tried it out. The effect was similar to shooting her own video. She could see the effect of the picture directly, and if she was not satisfied with the effect of the picture, she could adjust the angle directly.
Jiang Yue was too lazy to adjust it. Whatever the result was, that was that. Wouldn't it be better to sleep a little longer? She glanced at it and then tossed it aside. She'd deal with it when she could see the comments. With comments, she could chat with her family.
It's only a little past eight o'clock in the evening, and I can't fall asleep at this hour, not to mention I took a nap at noon. I took out my tablet and started watching a TV series. The original owner of this world has never watched a TV series like this. The original owner of this world is not good at learning. She worked really hard to get into university from childhood to adulthood. She used the time that others played to study and did her best to get into university.
After entering university, she found that the current social situation was tough and jobs were hard to find. During her university years, she maintained the same schedule as in high school. While others went out to play or date, she spent her time in the library. Because the Jiang family was not well-off, she had to work during winter and summer vacations and had no entertainment activities. For more than 20 years, she had only one hobby: writing calligraphy, which was still related to her studies.
