Because Han Qianye left, the task of entertaining the plant experts fell on Li Xiwu alone.
Serving tea, passing water, and looking for topics to chat with the two experts.
Then she found the menu used by the innkeeper and handed it to the two experts: "Uncle Cheng, Aunt Du, take a look at what you want to eat."
Having introduced himself just now, Li Xiwu also knew the names of the two plant experts.
Cheng Zhongqing sat to the side. He took the menu first, and then handed it to Du Xu next to him: "You take a look first."
Du Xu knew in advance that this group of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law didn't know how to cook, so he thought handing over the menus was just a step-by-step process. He flipped through them casually and said, "I'm a little tired from driving here today, and I don't have much appetite. Just make something casually."
Li Xiwu looked at Cheng Zhongqing.
Cheng Zhongqing nodded and echoed Du Xu's words: "Just listen to your Aunt Du, don't be so troublesome, just make something light."
I'm afraid that if I just make some random things, there won't be anything edible.
Li Xiwu said: "You don't have much appetite to begin with. If the food is too light, you may even lose your appetite."
Du Xu didn't know what the four groups of daughters-in-law meant, and wondered if there were other arrangements for the show?
"Just make it light to reduce autumn dryness and don't make those complicated dishes." Du Xu said thoughtfully.
Cheng Zhongqing also echoed: "Yes, vegetables reduce autumn dryness."
Li Xiwu agreed: "Okay."
The inn's kitchen is an open structure.
You can watch from all directions while cooking. There are cameras all around, the staff are at the back, and there are only two photographers taking turns in the front.
Li Xiwu put on an apron and went to the kitchen counter to start preparing today's lunch.
Seeing Li Xiwu's "showing off his skills" attitude, the photographer consciously moved his feet back a little, fearing that he would be unable to escape if the kitchen caught fire later.
Min Hanrong on the other side saw that Li Xiwu was the only one here, so she said to Tao Jing: "Go to Miss Li and see if there is anyone who can help."
Min Hanrong couldn't bear to have Tao Jing's hands in the kitchen.
But it also depends on the situation.
Moreover, if she asked Tao Jing to help at this time, it would better reflect her high-spirited and far-sighted side.
Tao Jing said hello and went to Li Xiwu's side.
[I was so touched that I had to see Min Hanrong at the critical moment. She was reluctant to let Tao Jing help her, but at this time, she asked Tao Jing to go to the fourth group to help. 】
[This situation needs to be taken seriously. The mothers-in-law in the fourth group are all in trouble, and only the daughter-in-law is left who can’t do anything.]
[I laughed so hard, the fourth group was so miserable.]
[I think this is because the program team was assigned to the wrong place. The fourth team should be at the hotel, and Xie Wen’s team should be replaced.]
[Li Xiwu: Please help Xie Wen~~]
Some netizens were very enthusiastic and asked Xie Wen's live broadcast room for help on Li Xiwu's behalf.
So soon, the barrage in Xie Wen's live broadcast room became:
[Call Xie Wen! Sister Li needs you!]
[Xie Wen, please contact Sister Maili online quickly and teach Sister Li how to cook. It will be difficult for her to die at noon today.]
[As long as Xie Wen's cooking skills were given to Li Xiwu even a little bit, Li Xiwu wouldn't be so miserable today at noon. Her mother-in-law's cooking was ruined. 】
[Li Xiwu: I really blocked Q!]
【Li Xiwu: Alexander!】
[Li Xiwu is still very calm about being laughed to death by the barrage, but everyone is not calm anymore.]
[Has no one noticed? Li Xiwu is a cold beauty. Even if she is anxious and flustered, no one can tell. 】
The live broadcast at this time was very cheerful.
Tao Jing walked over to Li Xiwu and asked eagerly and proactively: "Which dish do you plan to cook? I'll help you."
Li Xiwu gave Tao Jing a friendly smile.
She first threw the broad beans into the pot and cooked them.
Tao Jing thought that Li Xiwu just wanted to make a casual dish of boiled broad beans, but those two were plant experts. Is boiled broad beans too shabby?
She kindly suggested: "There is tofu here, what do you think about making fried tofu?"
Li Xiwu pondered for a few seconds: "Tofu will come in handy."
What this meant to Tao Jing was that the tofu would be boiled later and served directly to the table.
Tao Jing thought this was too shabby.
Pan-fried tofu is just fine.
Just now she watched her mother-in-law cook this dish. Although it looked average and tasted average, it was better in its simplicity!
It was so simple, Tao Jing immediately continued to persuade Li Xiwu to make fried tofu.
"How about we study it together?" Tao Jing asked.
Li Xiwu said: "It takes too much time. I'll prepare the dishes first."
Tao Jing: "Okay, I'll help you."
Although she was trying to help, Tao Jing couldn't do much. It wasn't that she was sneaking around, but that Li Xiwu's smooth food preparation movements meant that there was no chance for her to step in and help.
The tofu was cut into pieces in the palm of his hand, and the speed was so fast that Tao Jing was stunned and even the photographer next to him opened his eyes.
Then, then, if you cut it like that...will it really not cut your hand?
The key is that she really doesn't seem to be afraid of cutting her hands. Her movements are smooth and fast, and it gives people the illusion that she is good at cooking.
After preparing the dishes, Li Xiwu turned around and said to the stunned Tao Jing: "The oil smoke will be heavier later, stand over here, the oil smoke will not hit you."
Such thoughtfulness moved Tao Jing: "Oh, okay."
She didn't know what Li Xiwu was going to cook next. She wanted to help but was afraid of the fumes. While she was hesitating, Li Xiwu had already started the fire.
Tao Jing walked around to the other side of the kitchen counter and asked, "What are you going to cook?"
Li Xiwu raised his eyes and looked at Tao Jing outside the kitchen counter: "Ma Po Tofu."
Tao Jing's eyes widened: "You..." Will you?
The last two words were swallowed.
She almost said it.
It would be disrespectful to say it out loud, but luckily she kept her mouth shut in time.
Tao Jing reminded Li Xiwu tactfully: "I remember Mapo Tofu requires minced meat, right? But you didn't prepare minced meat just now."
Li Xiwu said: "Pounding minced meat is too laborious, so I will use something else instead."
"Anything else?"
Tao Jing felt like her eyes were about to be opened!
What ingredients can actually replace the taste of minced meat?
Just as he was thinking curiously, he saw Li Xiwu taking out the cooked broad beans, peeling them, crushing them, and putting them into a frying pan with oil.
There was a crashing sound, which was the sound of broad beans being put into the oil pan.
Tao Jing immediately moved to the side, fearing that the oil in the pot would splash onto herself.
Looking at Li Xiwu again, she stood upright in front of the kitchen counter, holding a pot in one hand and a spatula in the other. Her movements were methodical and very skillful.
When this scene fell into Tao Jing's eyes, she couldn't help but wonder, how could this person not know how to cook? He was clearly very good at cooking! And his cooking skills were superb!
Moreover, Tao Jing also discovered that looking at it from this angle, why did Li Xiwu's gesture look so familiar?
