There are five main filming locations for the team in Xinhai: Zhouji Xiaoguan, Vocational and Technical College, Youth Square, Feiyu and Xinghai.
Zhou Ji’s small restaurant owns its own venue, so there is no need to think about coordination issues at all. We arrange the scenery, lighting, and pose the young couple in makeup in front of the camera...
Click, click, a light flashed, and it was over.
At the vocational and technical college, it is relatively troublesome. You need to choose the time. Without affecting the normal order of the school, in addition to ensuring the quality of the photos, you must also ensure the speed.
Fortunately, the pie that Zhou Yan drew for the school leaders last night was quite tasty. The school not only issued an avoidance notice to the students, but also coordinated a new classroom for filming self-study scenes.
Although the shooting process went very smoothly, Zhou Yan and Qin Ruoshu, who kept posing for a long time, were still exhausted physically and mentally.
The afternoon shooting was placed on the beach.
There is no need to block time, both the "actors" and the photographer are very relaxed. While walking in the sand and playing in the water, the shooting task is completed easily.
In the evening, Zhou Yan found a restaurant with a good reputation near the hotel and hosted a banquet for the entire team.
After a group of people sat down, the waiter handed over the menu.
Zhou Yan opened the menu, his face changed slightly, and he continued to scroll back.
After reading it, the expression on Zhou Yan's face became very strange, and he handed the menu to Qin Ruoshu beside him: "Daughter-in-law, it's you who do it!"
Qin Ruoshu was a little confused, took the menu and opened it...
Then, he perfectly repeated Zhou Yan's actions just now, even his expression was exactly the same.
Finally, Qin Ruoshu hesitated again and ordered a yellow croaker soup...
"Teacher Dong, you can order the rest!"
The waiter waiting on the side saw that the owner seemed not satisfied with the menu, so he came over and said, "Madam, the dishes in our store have their origins..."
"oh?"
Photographer Dong Yumin is a gossip and likes to listen to some legends. When he heard that the waiter had "insider information", he immediately became interested.
"Five years ago, there was a restaurant called Zhouji Restaurant on the west coast of Xinhai. Although the store was not big, the chef was very good and there was no dish he couldn't cook.
Of course, it is not easy to eat the special dishes reserved in the small restaurant. You need to win the first prize through a lottery in the store.
The yellow croaker in soup on our menu was ordered by a customer who won the grand prize..."
Listening to the legend from the waiter, everyone in the team turned their attention to Zhou Yan...
“Order first!”
"Mr. Zhou, why don't you order one too!"
"That's right..." Zhou Yan nodded, turned to the end, pointed to one of the pictures at the waiter, "Get a piece of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall!"
After a few minutes, the waiter left with the menu, and the private room immediately became lively.
"Mr. Zhou, are you the owner of Zhou Ji Restaurant?"
"That's right!" Zhou Yan smiled bitterly and nodded.
"Mr. Zhou, you hide it really deep..."
"There is nothing to hide," Zhou Yan smiled calmly, "We are also a country with an ancient civilization of five thousand years. As a chef, as long as you work hard, you can become famous in no time..."
Of course, to "get famous" as Zhou Yan said, you still need a little talent. However, after the release of "Bite of the Tongue", cooking skills have become a racial talent of the descendants of Yan and Huang. After watching the documentary, many people are convinced
Embark on a journey to pursue the ultimate taste.
"Mr. Zhou, that yellow croaker in soup, I remember it should be a dish in a certain movie. Logically speaking, you can recreate it yourself. It should be difficult for others to imitate..."
"Chefs rely on talent, and..." Zhou Yan smiled and shook his head, "The same type of dishes are all processed in the same way, and when I opened the store, my kitchen was always the same.
Open……"
"Oh..." Dong Yumin smiled and nodded, "In a moment, we can have a good taste of your craftsmanship..."
The restaurant's service speed is pretty good. The food was served very quickly within a few minutes of being handed the menu.
Although the first few dishes are all cold dishes, both the pickling and the sauce are pretty good.
After putting down his chopsticks, Zhou Yan couldn't help but look forward to the next few dishes.
The first hot dish is braised sea cucumber with green onions, which is a local specialty.
The umami flavor of seafood is very rich. It is not easy to retain the original flavor of the ingredients after thickening the soup and heavy sauce.
In just a few minutes, the plate that was just brought to the table was already empty.
"This dish is yellow croaker in soup."
After the dish was served, Zhou Yan's focus was naturally on the most important part of the dish, the "soup filling". He picked up a spoon, gently took a spoonful, and tasted it.
"How about it?"
"Try it yourself!" Zhou Yan did not answer, but smiled and motioned for Qin Ruoshu to taste it himself.
Qin Ruoshu, who originally wanted Zhou Yan to help her, had no choice but to pick up the spoon, scoop out a spoonful and taste it.
"This..." Qin Ruoshu frowned slightly, "Why do I feel that the sauce is mixed with water and starch? Moreover, when they made the soup, they seemed to put fish in it?"
"The answer is correct," Zhou Yan nodded with satisfaction, "It should be that dried bonito was added..."
Dong Yumin on the side was a little curious and took a small spoonful, frowning and tasting...
"No problem, it's delicious!"
In Dong Yumin's view, no matter what ingredients are used, all it takes is making the dishes delicious.
But in the eyes of "industry insiders" Qin Ruoshu and Zhou Yan, the soup-filled yellow croaker worth two old men's heads would be the biggest failure if water starch and bonito were used in the cooking.
Especially the use of bonito is unacceptable in Zhou Yan's opinion.
If bonito soup was used when making Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, Zhou Yan would not say anything; but now the bonito soup is used to fill the soup with yellow croaker, which is also a fish, and other fish are used when making fish.
There is a nondescript feeling.
After waiting for Zhou Yan's first-class Buddha to jump over the wall and serve the dishes, Zhou Yan finally understood why there was bonito in the soup used to make yellow croaker: the soup used in the two is almost exactly the same, and the only difference may be that when making yellow croaker in soup
, water starch is added to the soup to thicken it.
Except for the Buddha Jumping over the Wall and the Yellow Croaker in Soup, the other dozen or so dishes can be said to be quite satisfactory: the ingredients and the heat are all OK, and although the taste is not bad, there is nothing outstanding about it.
A group of people were full of wine and food, and the waiter smiled and handed over the opinion book: "Everyone, if you have any good opinions and suggestions about our dishes, you can write them here..."
After the waiter finished speaking, everyone in the private room turned their attention to Zhou Yan.
"This gentleman?"
Seeing how young Zhou Yan was, a hint of joking flashed in the waiter's eyes, as well as a hint of perseverance.
And all this was seen by Qin Ruoshu.
"Waiter, if we told you, wouldn't you let us leave?" Qin Ruoshu stared at the waiter coldly.
"How can it be?"
"That's good..." Qin Ruoshu glanced at the opinion book in the waiter's hand, "However, in order to prevent you from looking for trouble, you should write it yourself!"
"Okay, you said..."
"First," Qin Ruoshu looked at her husband, "I don't know where you got the confidence to stew seafood and dare to call it a first-class Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. We won't talk about the ingredients for authentic Buddha Jumping Over the Wall.
At that time, all the ingredients are processed and stacked in layers, and the order is also particular..."
"Secondly, you use the same soup to make Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and Yellow Croaker Soup.
Thirdly, when you made the yellow croaker in soup, you used water starch to thicken the gravy. Who gave you the courage to sell such a dish for more than 200 yuan?
Fourth, the soup used to make yellow croaker soup contains bonito..."
Saying that, Qin Ruoshu pointed to the yellow croaker stuffed with only the fish head and bones: "Is this stuff called bonito soup stuffed with yellow croaker, or is it yellow croaker and bonito soup?"
The waiter who was so confident at first suddenly became Spartan...
