After finally enduring the public execution, Bai Zhilan took a bath, drank some medicine, applied hot hair growth cream to her hair, and then went to sleep. Just like last night, she fell into a deep sleep within ten minutes. Her frowning brows relaxed and a faint smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.
The next day, Lin Dan woke up at half past five, spent half an hour washing and brushing her teeth, and went to the kitchen on time at six o'clock to make breakfast for her daughter.
A large group of foodie spectators arrived as expected, ready to appreciate Bai Ma's superb cooking skills and guess what she would cook this morning.
[I guess it’s pastry.] 】
[Take the bones, I guess it’s for bone soup. 】
[Order bone broth noodles or bone broth powder. 】
[All wrong!] Bai Ma smashed the bones with a hammer, and now she's stewing them. 】
The audience was all confused by Lin Dan's inexplicable behavior. They only know that bones can be used to make soup, but they don’t know that bones can also be eaten after being crushed.
[Is this dog food?] 】
[Reliable!] It must be dog food! 】
At this moment, national chef Yuan Zhongyi logged in. He is now also one of Bai Ma’s loyal fans. He logs into the live broadcast room at mealtime three times a day to watch Lin Dan cook. Fortunately, Lin Dan seems to have obsessive-compulsive disorder. She makes breakfast at six in the morning, lunch at noon, and dinner at six in the afternoon. She will never be a minute early or late. Her schedule is more accurate than a machine. This also reflects her self-disciplined character from the side. As long as the audience follows these three points, they will definitely see her busy in the kitchen.
Following Yuan Zhongyi, Lang’s avatar also lit up.
Lin Dan, who was completely unaware of the situation, was now using a hammer to smash the bones one by one, and then collecting the marrow in a bowl. After completing this process, she took out a piece of lean meat, chopped it up, mixed it with onion, ginger water and light soy sauce, and slowly rubbed it in the basin until it was coated with starch.
The audience was still guessing what she was going to do by tapping the bones, but Yuan Zhongyi slowly typed two words: [Exquisite! 】
The rich man Lang just kept giving gifts without saying a word.
After chopping the meat, Lin Dan took out the dough that she had kneaded last night, rolled it into a thin skin, scooped a spoonful of meat filling and a spoonful of bone marrow, and gently pinched it into a beautiful pleated bun. In just a few moments, fifteen pleated buns were ready and she put them into the steaming steamer.
Yuan Zhongyi exclaimed again: [Good cooking skills! This is making soup dumplings. For ordinary soup dumplings, the meat filling is pork belly, which is rich in oil and water. You also have to stir-fry the crab meat, crab roe and minced ginger to produce crab oil, mix it with soy sauce, cooking wine and other seasonings, and then wrap it with a small piece of pork skin jelly, so that you can steam out a rich soup. However, Ms. Lin's financial resources were limited. She could not buy ingredients such as crab meat and crab roe, and she did not have time to make pork skin jelly, so she directly used bone marrow instead. The steamed bone marrow is thick and delicious, much more authentic than soup dumplings made from a mixture of various ingredients! Ms. Lin’s cooking skills are so exquisite that even I have to admit she is better! I really hope to meet Ms. Lin one day! 】
Unable to contact Lin Dan himself, Yuan Zhongyi could only come to the live broadcast room every day to express his admiration for her. After hearing his words, the audience was already drooling. Seeing through the split screen that Bai Zhilan was still sleeping soundly, they couldn't help but feel envious and jealous.
[There is delicious food to eat every day when she wakes up. Why is Bai Zhilan so lucky? 】
[Ahhhh, Aunt Bai, are you still going to accept your daughter? The kind that eats as much as a bowl! 】
[I counted and found that Bai Ma only made fifteen buns. That’s not enough to eat, right? With all due respect, I can finish all these buns by myself! 】
Lang Tuhao gave another round of rewards, and then left a message: [Can the person who gives the most rewards get the soup dumplings given by Ms. Lin? I hope the platform can tell her this advice personally. 】
[Oh my god, come and look, there’s someone blatantly cheating here! 】
[Kill the rich and share the soup dumplings!] 】
[It’s really great to have privileges. You can directly cue Bai Ma. 】
A group of people laughed and made fun of Lang, and then gave him a wave of gifts.
After Lin Dan finished making the buns, she started to make the soup. A good pot of soup is enough to cook any dish, so this step is essential. She put pork ribs, pork elbows, chicken, duck and other ingredients into a clay pot in order, added spring water from the back mountain, simmered it over low heat, then fried a pot of sauerkraut and minced meat, and asked the program crew to carry it to the open space at the door to eat with noodles.
The members of the program crew stayed at the homes of fellow villagers, and their food was also provided by the villagers. The money had already been given, so it could be considered as generating income for the villagers of Xiaotian Village.
After finishing the breakfast for the program crew and the buns were cooked, Lin Dan woke up Bai Zhilan. Bai Zhilan had no idea how much she was hated on the Internet. She washed her face, brushed her teeth, and sat down at the dining table in a daze.
"Hey, are we eating buns today? I don't like buns." She complained daily.
The audience's faces turned green, and they said indignantly: [You don't know how lucky you are! If you don’t want to eat it, just set up a lucky draw on Weibo and give it to us! 】
[You can draw a lottery! Hurry, hurry, go to Xiao Guoguo’s Weibo and give your suggestions, and ask her to pass them on to Lanlan! 】
[Not realistic.] The small mountain village is very remote. I heard from Bai Ma that it takes several hours to drive to the city. By the time the soup dumplings were sent to our city, they were spoiled! 】
[Ahhhhhhh!] Want to eat! 】
The audience was wailing, but the director of the program received a phone call. He nodded in agreement a few times, then raised a sign and quietly called Lin Dan outside. Fortunately, Bai Zhilan had already started eating breakfast. The audience looked at her with green eyes and did not notice Lin Dan's departure.
"Director, what can I do for you?" Lin Dan asked politely.
"It's like this," the director rubbed his hands and smirked, "Ms. Lin, the audience is particularly impressed by your cooking skills and wants to taste the soup dumplings you just made. Because everyone's calls are so enthusiastic, we decided to select a lucky audience member to give away dumplings. Do you think it's okay?"
It’s just making a basket of buns, what’s wrong with that? Lin Dan thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll make a basket of buns and freeze them. You can use a small refrigerator to transport them. The audience can steam them themselves after receiving them. The taste will be no different from what I steam."
The director was so happy that he kept saying, "That's great, that's great, Ms. Lin, thank you for your hard work. Later, when we shoot Teacher Bai feeding the donkey, you can be in the kitchen making buns." At first, he felt unconvinced when the director sent him to shoot Bai Zhilan, but now he realizes how lucky he is! It would be fine if I could just have delicious food every day, but I could even get close to a big shot like "Lang"! He insisted on delivering this basket of buns intact!
Since the production team has arranged the time, Lin Dan has nothing to say. She picked up a cup and pretended that she was walking out of the camera to get some water, but she heard Bai Zhilan screaming behind her: "Ahhh! The soup dumpling is juicy! It's so hot!"
"If it's hot, just spit it out." Lin Dan walked back helplessly.
"I would never vomit! It's so delicious! The soup is so fresh, my taste buds are about to explode, you know?! Why did you only make fifteen? It's too little!" Bai Zhilan said with tears in her eyes. Her mouth was burned red, and she was fanning herself and breathing out air, but she refused to spit out the soup dumplings. She was so eager to eat it that she risked her life.
The audience was made to laugh and cry by her, but they also thought she was really cute.
[I would rather be scalded to death than spit out the soup dumpling. This is the last stubbornness of a foodie! 】
[I’m convinced by Bai Zhilan, hahahaha…]
[I told you to eat alone, this is retribution!] Laughing and crying! 】
Lin Dan picked up a handkerchief to wipe Bai Zhilan's mouth, ate four buns himself, and pushed the rest in front of her. After breakfast, Bai Zhilan, who claimed that she had a small appetite, rubbed her stomach and said, "I'm not full, I'm still hungry." In this family, she had everything she wanted, and she hardly had to do anything except eating, drinking and having fun.
The other guests tried their best to be filial to their parents, which was completely different from her style. However, the audience not only does not dislike her like this, but also thinks it is natural. Firstly, it is because of Lin Dan's indulgence; secondly, in the previous 18 years, she has never felt the love of her mother. Now that she has finally met her mother, shouldn't she be allowed to enjoy herself?
Seeing her arrogant look, the audience can only feel happy and distressed for her. How can they hate her?
Today is the last day of the first episode, and the mother and daughter still have no plans to do anything. After breakfast, Bai Zhilan went to the backyard to play with Hanbao and Feimaotui, while Lin Dan walked into the kitchen and made a basket of buns for the "lucky audience". Fearing that the other party had a big appetite, she made twenty-five of them, put them in a small refrigerator prepared by the program team for quick freezing, and then cut a piece of ribs to prepare the ribs stewed with potatoes.
The audience arrived on time to watch Bai Ma cook lunch, and arrived on time to watch her cook dinner. The theme of today was still eating. After eating ribs, they had braised pork, which was so delicious! After finally making it to the evening, Lin Dan turned on the TV and watched the latest episode of "Life is Like a Dream". The audience came to watch TV with her. They thought Bai Zhilan's acting would be as awkward as usual, but they didn't expect that this time, she would give an explosive performance.
The princess she played hugged the general's legs and asked again and again: "Why can't you love me? Why?"
Her expression was filled with sorrow, as if she was complaining and crying. Her red eyes stared at the general, as if tears of blood would fall in the blink of an eye, and as if she wanted to dig out her heart so that the other party could have a good look at it. Not getting the answer she wanted and with her country and family ruined, she jumped off the cliff without hesitation. Before she died, she looked back with a distant, relieved, yet heart-wrenching gaze. Her figure in a red dress disappeared below the cliff, leaving only a teardrop that flew into the wind.
For the first time, the audience was brought into the play by her, crying and laughing with her, and feeling numb with heartache. She finally died, but no one was able to find relief. Instead, they fell into indescribable grief and silence.
It was a long time before someone wrote this: [I never expected that the most wonderful performance in this drama did not come from the heroine, nor from the hero, but from Bai Zhilan. Does she really have no talent for acting? Originally my answer was yes, but now, I began to doubt it! I see in her the qualities that only belong to a talented actor, that is, full of spirit and abundant emotions! 】
At the same time, the Douban score of "A Dream of Life" soared to 73 because of this scene.
