Chapter 86 Exclusive (86) 1st update. …

"Oh! What a big one!" Doudou looked up at Gu Xizhi taking the watermelon out of the bucket and placing it on the counter. His excitement was evident on his face: "It's so big!"

[Hahaha why are the adjectives for Doudou always so poor]

[Wait until we get our elementary school diplomas, don’t look down on the poor youngsters! （）】

[But Doudou is right, this watermelon is bigger than his head. It is really big.]

The watermelon had been chilled, and its skin was tinged with a cool, dark green color. Gu Dianzhi tried to cut it in half with a knife, but felt he had no idea where to start. Shen Qingyue took the knife and skillfully cut it into small pieces.

We went upstairs and called the guests from other groups together, and gave some to the director's group. The huge watermelon was quickly consumed.

"Everyone, remember that we will have a food tasting tonight. You can get ready to start after you finish eating."

After Xu Can finished eating the watermelon, he wiped his hands and gave a thoughtful reminder.

Doudou held the fruit in his mouth, his mouth bulging with flesh, and he replied awkwardly, "Good!"

*

The sun had completely set, the sky had grown dark, a few stars were twinkling in the dark night, and the temperature had dropped dramatically.

It was already past their usual dinner time, but after eating a bellyful of fruit in the evening, they didn't feel hungry.

Xu Can came out of the director's team's small room, wearing an apron with XX brand peanut oil on it in a serious manner. He clapped his hands, attracting the guests' attention to the camera.

"Thank you for waiting. After a day, I believe everyone has prepared the recipes."

He smiled and said, "Our director team has also thoughtfully prepared cooking tools and seasonings for everyone to use at will."

"Okay, without further ado, please bring your children to cook together!"

During the conversation, each family was given two aprons, one large and one small, of the same style but different colors.

Shen Qingyue dressed himself and put a small apron with lavender lace on Doudou. It was a little long for the cub and looked like a long skirt. He rolled up the edges carefully.

There were not enough stoves in the kitchen, so the director's team added two more temporarily. Shen Qingyue took out his own ingredients from the refrigerator and stood next to the newly added stove.

The originally empty kitchen seemed a little crowded because of all of them coming in, but he was not affected and continued to take care of it carefully.

Tam had already processed it once before installing them, so it was not troublesome to do. As long as there were no thorns, the steps were no different from normal cooking.

"Little Susu!"

The cub held up the edge of his apron in a serious manner, and followed Shen Qingyue's movements, clacking and clacking. Seeing that Xiao Susu had no intention of helping, the cub took the initiative to reach out and pat his leg, reminding him softly: "I'm cooking too!"

[Our Doudou is such an active baby]

[Let the kids help! If the kids want to work, how can we stop them from working?]

[I feel like everyone’s dishes are a bit unexpected, is this what creative dishes are? Hahahaha]

"Okay, Doudou, help me peel the fruit." Shen Qingyue stuffed a round cactus fruit into the cub's palm and pinched Doudou's little face.

Gu Xianzhi stood at the stove next to Shen Qingyue when he made his choice. It happened that both of them were new seats, both facing outside the kitchen.

"Did you buy this?" Gu Xianzhi looked a little surprised when he saw Shen Qingyue take out a cactus that was almost taller than his pocket.

Shen Qingyue laboriously moved the bald cactus onto the chopping board, picked up the knife beside him, and nodded: "Yes, I ate it today, and it tasted pretty good."

He imitated Tam's movements, separated the cactus, cut it into pieces, and washed it again. After stir-frying the meat, he added seasonings and cactus pieces, and continued to stir-fry over medium heat. It would be ready soon.

Doudou's fruit has been peeled, and the bright red juice has soaked the cub's hands. The gaps between his two little paws are filled with the color of the red pitaya.

"Xiao Susu, I'm fine~" The cub raised his hand proudly to show Xiao Susu. Although the flesh was bumpy, the skin was peeled very carefully and cleanly.

"Thank you, Doudou, you're awesome." Shen Qingyue took the fruit, rinsed it, and put it aside.

He also plans to make a salad and put it in the refrigerator for everyone to eat as a snack.

The other groups were almost done. In order to maintain the mystery of the food tasting session, the program crew did not continue the live broadcast after the cooking began. They just served the dishes one by one when the show officially started.

Xu Can cleared his throat outside and announced in a long voice: "The Desert Restaurant food tasting event has officially begun--"

Shen Qingyue came out holding a plate in one hand and Doudou in the other. As soon as he walked out of the door, the camera pointed at the door took a close-up of the plate in his hand.

【Wow, stir-fried pork with lettuce】

[I can tell from the first glance that you didn’t watch the live broadcast during the day. This is clearly cactus fried meat. Tam taught me how to do this. I remember it very clearly.]

[The Qingqing replica looks so fragrant——]

The next person to come out after him was Gu Xizhi, holding half a watermelon with the flesh scooped out of it in his arms, with broken pieces of baked steamed bun in the hollowed-out half.

The steamed bun was seasoned with salt and pepper, and it smelled very nice after being baked, with a crispy floury aroma, but now it was soaked in watermelon juice, half red and half yellow-white, and looked a bit dark and sinister.

[Uh, watermelon steamed bun? ]

[I was wondering why he bought so many melons... It turns out he bought them not for three days of eating, but for the restaurant to eat for three days.]

[It may look unpalatable, but it must taste bad too]

[Today, when they went to the restaurant to learn from the chef, they found this dish and Xiao Xun also said it was delicious]

[Damn, it’s really a special dish. Is it really that special?]

[But it is really suitable for them, and the method is so simple hahaha]

Shen Qingyue stared at the round half of the watermelon, and then looked at Gu Xizhi who had a calm expression. Although he was a little confused, he still believed that Gu Xizhi would not deliberately do something naughty.

"Did you learn this in the hotel today?" Shen Qingyue asked.

Gu Xianzhi put the watermelon down and took Xiaoxun to sit next to Shen Qingyue and Doudou. He said in a steady voice: "Well, Xiaoxun likes it very much."

"Wow, another four happy lights!" Doudou raised his hands and shouted joyfully as if he had discovered a new continent: "And there are cakes!"

Gu Xianzhi looked at the cub that had squeezed in beside him, his eyes softened. He reached out and picked up Doudou, put him on his lap, and asked, "Doudou, do you want to eat?"

"I want to!" Doudou nodded his head vigorously, and grabbed Shen Qingyue's palm with his two little paws again, and said happily: "I want to do it with Xiaosusu!"

Shen Qingyue and Gu Xianzhi looked at each other, and tapped the tip of the cub's nose with some amusement.

The next dishes were the fried elm money from the glutinous rice group. The elm money was fried until soft and covered with flour, exuding a refreshing aroma.

This is a home-cooked dish that you can eat at home. Although it looks ordinary, it tastes good. It just can't be made into a specialty dish.

Miki and her father brought out scallion scrambled eggs. The shiny green scallions and golden fried eggs lay on a white porcelain plate. Except for a small part that was burnt, everything looked fine.

The last dish is the cold alfalfa salad made by Mai Mai and her sister. Alfalfa is a kind of grass that looks a bit like wild vegetables. After boiling it, you can season it with cold sauce. The alfalfa here is basically wild.

The boiled dark green alfalfa was piled together, with a layer of sauce on the bottom of the plate, dotted with a few bright red chili peppers and crushed white garlic cloves.

[Isn't alfalfa used to feed horses?! ]

[Hahahaha, people can eat it too. It tastes good when mixed cold. ]

[People can eat alfalfa, so are sweet elephant grass and king bamboo grass okay? 】

[This is beyond my knowledge, but it is understood that these two are indeed used to feed horses hhh]

[Sweet elephant grass? King bamboo grass? The previous diagnosis was that Tiance played too much]

Five dishes of different shapes and colors were placed on the table, and the next step was to taste the food.

The director team and guests voted together to determine the winner of the food tasting, and the number of saplings each group received was determined.

The first thing Shen Qingyue took with his chopsticks was Gu Yinzhi's watermelon steamed bun. He had been curious about this dish since it was served.

The salt and pepper baked bun is hard and dry, and the lower half is full of sweet and sandy watermelon juice. It is not watery or soft when you take a bite, but still chewy after softening.

The sweetness and saltiness are not abrupt, and they blend skillfully in the mouth. Although it may feel a little strange when you take the first bite, what is even stranger is that after taking one bite, you still want to take the next one.

"Your watermelon steamed bun tastes pretty good." Shen Qingyue fed Doudou a bite and commented to Gu Yinzhi.

Gu Xianzhi was silently chewing a piece of cactus and stuffed a piece of meat into Xiaoxun's mouth.

Hearing this, he swallowed his mouthful of water and said, "Your cactus is also delicious."

After more than ten minutes of tasting, the final ranking was: Xiaoxun group first, Doudou group second, Miki third, Maimai fourth, and Nuonuo fifth.

According to their ranking, each participant received five to one sapling.

[Consider it, they all laugh at you, but you are the most competitive one, hahahahahaha]

[Why! Why can’t I understand why watermelon steamed bun is the first? ]

[If you do this, I will try to copy it.]

[Didn’t the guests say that the steamed buns were chewy and the pepper and salt were fragrant? After thinking about it, I felt that they were indeed delicious. （）]

"Well, all our activities today have come to a successful conclusion!"

Xu Can stood up with a smile: "Starting from tomorrow, our restaurant will be officially open. Everyone, go to bed early. We will open on time at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning~"

I was almost exhausted today and didn't stop all day. I went upstairs to take Doudou to take a bath. The cub drank milk while Shen Qingyue stood by and took medicine.

After finishing everything, he collapsed on the bed and thought for a while. When he turned around, he saw Gu Xianzhi had just laid down.

He half closed his eyes and heard Gu Xizhi say "good night" softly.

Shen Qingyue's heart moved, he tightened the quilt in his arms, and whispered: "Good night."
