Chapter 127: Don’t Waste Good Ingredients
The fish in Meng Chuyuan's hand was obtained by Qi Yan and Ting Jiu in exchange for winning first place. No one else got it.
Qi Yan was the one who picked up the fish, but she ignored the fact that she didn't know how to handle this matter.
She struggled internally for a while and decided to kill the fish first. However, just when she took the fish out of the basin, she didn't use enough force and the fish escaped, resulting in the scene just now.
Meng Chuyuan picked up the basin on the ground, filled it with water, put the fish in to wash it, and then poured out the dirty water.
"Steamed, braised, or boiled?" Meng Chuyuan turned her head, her eyes happened to fall on Qi Yan, and she asked casually, "Do you need my help?"
If Qi Yan told her that she wouldn't do it, Meng Chuyuan would still consider helping her.
The problem is that she is unwilling to give in and likes to show off her strength, acting as if nothing can stop her, which makes people feel unfriendly and uncomfortable.
Qi Yan felt quite uncomfortable when Meng Chuyuan saw her embarrassment.
She lowered her eyes, and in a somewhat arrogant manner, she found an exception in Meng Chuyuan's words: "I only eat sweet and sour food."
People who didn't know would think she was making things difficult for Meng Chuyuan, but in fact she just didn't want to follow Meng Chuyuan's wishes.
Meng Chuyuan looked at her calmly, and after a while he spoke: "Well, you are quite picky."
Qi Yan thought that what she had just said would make Meng Chuyuan give up, but the next second she saw Meng Chuyuan rolled up his sleeves, picked up the fish in the basin and put it on the chopping board.
"What are you doing?" Qi Yan frowned and looked at her in confusion.
Meng Chuyuan picked up a kitchen knife and knocked the fish's head against it, knocking it unconscious. Then he replied nonchalantly, "Sweet and sour fish, arranged."
Look at Miss Qi's expression. It's obvious that she's amazed by Sister Meng.
Qi Yan: What? She can make sweet and sour fish?!
[Sister Meng is so kind! She helps without even thinking about it.]
"If you want sweet and sour fish, Sister Meng will make it for you. Qi Yan, aren't you really touched?"
Even if Qi Yan wanted to make trouble, Meng Chuyuan and the others also had to eat. If the kitchen was not cleared out sooner, they might not be able to eat before lunch break was over.
On the other side, Qi Zhen and his agent were slightly surprised when they saw this live broadcast scene at the same time.
"Well... Lu Jinsen's sister-in-law is really capable. Is your sister being manipulated like this?"
Qi Zhen looked away from the phone screen and said softly, "I've met this sister-in-law before. She's really a nice person."
When the first episode was being recorded, Meng Chuyuan lent them his hoe after finishing his farm work.
In the second episode, when they went fishing, Meng Chuyuan took off his coat and gave it to Qi Yan. Also, that time on the beach, although she noticed that he was in a bad mood, Meng Chuyuan didn't say much.
No matter what she does or what the occasion is, she can always give people a comfortable and at ease feeling.
Just like now, Qi Yan is not an easy person to deal with, but the scene of Meng Chuyuan getting along with her is not out of place.
The agent watched Meng Chuyuan carefully handling fish scales in the live broadcast room. He raised his hand and touched his jaw, and suddenly an idea came to him: "She doesn't seem to be very old. I wonder if she is interested in debuting."
Qi Zhen interrupted his thoughts coldly: "Don't even think about it. Don't you see what conditions they have?"
The Qi family is also quite powerful, but it cannot compare with the Lu family.
Judging from the current situation of the Lu family, the chances of Meng Chuyuan making his debut are zero.
Who would give up the comfortable job of Mrs. Lu to join the entertainment industry?
When Lu Jinsen first decided to make his debut, it was already an outrageous thing in the wealthy circle.
The agent thought about it, but was ultimately defeated by reality and resigned himself to his fate. "Indeed, that's Mrs. Lu. How can I possibly marry her?"
At the same time, Qi Yan watched the whole process of Meng Chuyuan killing the fish, and the surprise on her face never disappeared.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Qi Yan would have suspected that the fish she had just touched was not the same fish on Meng Chuyuan's chopping board.
She also couldn't understand why Meng Chuyuan could handle these things so efficiently even though they were all women.
Meng Chuyuan made a few cuts on the fish's back, and then prepared the chopped green onions, ginger, and garlic in advance.
She lit the stove, poured a proper amount of oil into the pot, then picked up the fish and threw it into the pot to fry it until the meat became crispy.
Qi Yan did not leave the kitchen at all. She stood by and unknowingly watched the whole process of Meng Chuyuan frying fish.
I seriously suspect Qi Yan may have learned this by stealing. Her eyes never left the pot.
[It's so healing. The back view of Sister Meng cooking is really charming. It feels a bit like my mother's shadow]
[I suddenly want to know who will own this fish later? I can't really let Qi Yan eat it all by herself, right? After all, Sister Meng helped cook it.]
After a while, Meng Chuyuan took out the fried fish and put it on a clean plate.
Then she started to stir-fry the onions, ginger and garlic, squeezed them into the tomato sauce pot, added a little water and other seasonings to bring out the juice, and finally poured it over the fish.
Meng Chuyuan: "It's done."
She looked at the sweet and sour fish cooked by Meng Chuyuan. It looked good and smelled sweet, but she still questioned, "Is this edible?"
Among the many guests, she was the only one who had not tasted Meng Chuyuan's cooking.
Qi Yan had heard everyone praising it so much before, and she didn't know if it was true.
Qi Yan witnessed the whole process of Meng Chuyuan making sweet and sour fish. She didn't think it was that difficult except that she didn't know how to kill the fish.
Meng Chuyuan cleaned the pot and said to her casually, "Why can't we eat this?"
"Why are you even questioning me? Weren't you watching from the sidelines? Are you worried that Sister Meng might have poisoned the food?"
[No matter how bad it is, it should be better than the braised pork last night.]
[Sister Meng recorded a program, and the dishes she made were never repeated, and the entire menu could be made up]
I decided not to watch it for now. Every time I watch them cook on an empty stomach, it’s so frustrating.
Qi Yan was at a loss for words for a moment, so she tactfully shut up.
"Leave this kitchen to me, don't waste the good ingredients."
“…”
——
The lights come on and the night is hazy.
Lu Qingye finished a day of socializing and his assistant was on his way home.
Soft music was playing in the car. Lu Qingye was sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed, resting. Suddenly, the phone in his pocket vibrated twice, waking him up.
Lu Qingye opened his eyes and casually took out his cell phone. Sure enough, it was his mother calling again.
He was very tired today. While he was busy with work, he also had to take care of his mother's affairs.
On the second day after Lu's mother officially took office, she called Lu Qingye three times, and each call lasted more than half an hour before she hung up.
He frowned, slid his finger lightly across the screen, and then moved the phone to his ear.
The next second, he heard a voice coming from the phone——
