Chapter 142 Zuo Le and the dog, Zuo Le is not allowed to enter (two in one)
About two hours later, Teacher He came back with everyone who had gone to the ground. Everyone was chatting and laughing, and they didn't look too tired.
At this time, the four people staying in the mushroom house had also prepared lunch. Except for Peng Peng, the remaining three people showed their hands.
Chef Huang did the most cooking. Not only did he cook three dishes (large portions), but he also made the staple fried noodles with soybean paste. For lunch for fifteen people, Teacher Huang fried half a pot of fried bean paste alone and weighed more than ten kilograms of noodles.
.
Fan Min made two dishes, braised eggplant strips with soy sauce and garlic pork ribs. Zuo Le was mainly responsible for making only one dish - braised pork.
This is considered one of Zuo Le's specialty dishes.
Although Zuo Le's overall cooking skills are not as good as those of a professional chef like Huang Sanshi, he is even slightly worse than Fan Min who cooks at home all day long.
But when it comes to a few of his specialty dishes that he has studied and practiced for many years, he still has some real skills.
Zuo Le's family was poor when she was a child. Ms. Zhuang Cuicui sometimes did not buy meat once a week, and even if she did buy meat, she would only make a small amount of shredded pork, sliced meat, and stir-fry with vegetables.
Pure meat dishes like braised pork can almost only be tasted during Chinese New Year and wedding banquets.
In "Wulin Gaiden", shopkeeper Tong and his best friend Han Juan were fighting against each other. The first half of the sentence "Braised pork every time, your daughter is red every day" is one of Zuo Le's few childhood obsessions.
When he grew up, Zuo Le often ordered braised pork when he went out to eat. Unfortunately, the quality of the food in restaurants varied, and he often failed.
Later, when he got a job and rented a house, he could cook by himself, so Zuo Le simply started cooking by himself. Over time, he also accumulated a lot of experience.
When Zuo Le makes braised pork, in addition to the ordinary preparation steps, there are a few tips -
First, don’t stir-fry the sugar color, rely on dark soy sauce for color, but add a little rock sugar when stewing the meat later.
Second, after blanching the pork belly, fry it in oil for a while to force out the fat.
Third, the stew was not made with pure water, but with water and beer at a ratio of one to one. Later, when Zuo Le made money, he would add a little Huadiao wine.
Fourth, the secret spices, Zuo Le spent 200 yuan to buy online. It is said to be a secret recipe of a certain chef. I don’t know whether it is true or not, but it is indeed very useful.
These are all obtained by Zuo Le after reading tutorials online and combining them with offline practice.
The braised pork produced in this way has an attractive red color, fragrant meat, tender fat, glutinous lean meat, melts in the mouth, and rich flavor.
I won’t say that the taste is unparalleled, but at least no one who has tried it says it tastes bad.
Sure enough, when the meal started, Zuo Le's braised pork was very popular. Teacher He and Peng Peng were full of praise. Even Teacher Huang gave Zuo Le a thumbs up.
Not to mention Yan Ni and other Shanhe artists, the boss himself cooks, who dares to find fault, not to mention that the cooking is indeed good.
After dinner, Zuo's Braised Pork was successfully cleared. Zuo Le was so happy that he even took a photo and posted it on his scarf to show off.
【Mushroom House shows off its skills, you can call me Chef Zuo from now on】
The news that Zuo Le, Yan Ni and others participated in "Longing for Days" has long been exposed on the Internet, and even after they arrived at the mushroom house, there were sporadic Reuters photos of their scarves.
Therefore, when Zuo Le wore a scarf, the fans below were not surprised that he was in Mushroom House, but they also left messages one after another.
[Director Zuo knows how to cook, he is a good man, I love him]
[The above, this kind of bad money is inappropriate for us]
[If you want to post a picture, just post it. Why did you only take a picture of an empty plate with only ordered soup? Are you asking us to guess the dish by looking at the picture?]
[Judging from my keen intuition as a die-hard yuba, this dish should be the legendary Tiandi Wuji soup that costs three taels of silver a bowl]
[What is Tiandi Wuji Soup? Liu Ye made it, it must be braised donkey sausage]
[It was liquidated. It seems that Director Zuo has good skills.]
[That's a good fart. Don't look at how many people Zuo Le and the others came. Eleven people, plus four teachers from the mushroom house, He. With so many people, more than half of the dish would be eaten in one bite.]
[The truth upstairs (laughing and crying)]
[Like, I like these comments that can embarrass Director Zuo]
[???Why is that comment gone? Network administrator, I am reporting someone for criticizing the comment]
[Damn, this guy is so shameless]
[emmm...the above two items are gone again, let’s confirm that someone is online to control the comments]
[It doesn’t matter, I took a screenshot, I will submit a gossip marketing account and pick up someone’s ugly face]
【…………】
With an expressionless face, Zuo Le clicked the "suspected of driving" report on the last comment, then put down his phone and chatted with Teacher Huang and others.
………
"After Director Zuo finishes filming "Story of the Cooking Class 2", do you have any new drama plans?"
As a professional host, Teacher He was very conscious about finding topics, and Zuo Le didn't mean to hide anything and told the truth directly.
"The next step is to make a drama. The script has been written. It will probably start shooting in November?"
"Director Zuo is going to shoot a new drama. Are there any suitable roles? We have three professional actors in Mushroom House." Teacher Huang joked.
"We can't afford to hire a celebrity like Teacher Huang, but if you are willing to make a guest appearance, I would very much welcome it." Zuo Le said with a smile.
In fact, Huang Sanshi's image is quite consistent with Zuo Le's character setting of Shopkeeper Xia, the father-in-law of the third eldest son of the Zhu family, an old-school businessman with a refined and shrewd personality.
However, this role had too few scenes, and it didn’t match Teacher Huang’s status, so Zuo Le simply didn’t say anything about it.
Teacher Huang is a talented person. As soon as he heard what Zuo Le said, he understood what was going on. He smiled and agreed with Zuo Le to be a guest star in the new drama, but he didn't say anything about the character.
Peng Peng and Zhang Zifeng were a little disappointed. Zuo Le can be said to be the most popular TV drama director in recent years. Being able to participate in his drama, even if he is not the male and female lead, is a pretty good resource.
The fourth and fifth ranks of men and women below may be attractive to ordinary actors.
But Peng and Zhang are also relatively well-known young stars with many film roles, and they are not yet supporting actors in TV series.
The focus of the topic has not always been on Zuo Le. After all, there are Shanhe artists like Yan Ni. They are also guests in this issue, and the program team must take care of them.
And the one that everyone talks about the most is "Wulin Gaiden".
There is no way, this TV is so popular, the director team frequently raised the notice board, and almost slapped the word "hot" in Teacher He's face.
The director team strongly requested to talk about "Wulin Gaiden", so let's talk. Everyone talked about the interesting things they encountered after filming and broadcasting. While chatting, they talked about how Zuo Le tricked Entai into memorizing "The Four Books"
It's over.
In fact, with the popularity of "Wulin Gaiden" and the starring actors being interviewed on the show, this incident has long become a well-known side story.
However, everyone knows, but because Zuo Le has not participated in many programs, no one has ever asked Zuo Le about this in person. Today, with both parties involved present, Teacher He couldn't help but be curious to interview Zuo Le.
"What kind of mentality did you have at that time to come up with such a... um, ingenious idea?"
Teacher He wanted to say "crazy", but he hesitated and changed the adjective.
Yu Entai looked at Zuo Le. He had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but despite the boss's power, he never asked it.
When Zuo Le heard this question, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had been taking the blame for the original director for a long time.
But he deserved it. Whoever allowed him to use this trick on Yu Entai in a bad way can only be said to be reincarnation and retribution.
Originally, Zuo Le planned to be vague and get over the matter, but seeing the way Yu Entai looked directly at him, he felt a little guilty in his heart.
"Actually, it was more about the role at that time. In the words of Teacher Zhao, this was "collapse therapy", which could help Eun-tae find the unappreciated state of Lu Xiucai as quickly as possible.
Of course, this approach is a bit unscrupulous, and I would like to apologize to Entai. Later, I had the opportunity to set up a role for Entai as a top student, and write a paragraph in which he recited the entire Analects of Confucius, which made Entai miserable.
Eat for free."
"Did Entai hear this? This is Zuo Le's personal promise. We will all testify for you. If you come to our mushroom house and get a role, you will make a lot of money." Teacher He said with a smile.
Yu Entai smiled shyly. In real life, he was actually a bit like Lu Xiucai. He didn't like to talk much when there were many people.
…………
After chatting about "Wulin Gaiden", everyone talked about "The Story of Cooking Class 2" as a way to promote its premiere.
The six members of the cooking team chatted about interesting things while filming the drama, and also recalled the scene when filming the first part.
At this time, Teacher Huang discovered a blind spot: "Jiang Chao, Mao Xiao, Sha Yi, and Yan Ni were all in vain, and now they all seem to have signed with Shanhe."
Hearing this, Yan Ni and others felt a little unnatural on their faces, but Zhou Binbin and Hong Tao, who were still in Kongwen, smiled.
"Not only them, Jia Jia, Gao Xinjian, Lin Yongjian, but also the director of "The Story of the Health Team" Xue Jun, and the screenwriter of "The Story of the Cooking Class" Shang Qianwu all went to Shanhe from our group."
"hiss………"
After hearing this, Teacher He took a breath and looked at Zuo Le with admiration: "It seems that Director Zuo has a very charismatic leadership. After working with you, everyone is willing to follow you."
What Teacher He said was very sincere, but to the ears of Zuo Le, who had a guilty conscience, it sounded like irony.
However, he saw the matter fairly clearly and even took the initiative to laugh at himself.
“I don’t know if I have leadership charisma, but I am quite hated by people. Now I don’t even dare to go to the Kongwen Art Center for fear that Guo Tuan will bring someone to put a sack on me and beat me up.
When "Story of the Health Team 2" was launched in Kongwen, I went to cut the ribbon, and Guo Tuan looked at me like I was watching a thief.
Now there are actors who have Kongwen who want to come to Shanhe, but I don’t dare to ask for them. I’m afraid that if they ask again, Guo Tuan will have to show up at the door of Kongwen Art Center.
Put up a sign with the words "Zuo Le and Dog, Zuo Le cannot enter".
"Hahaha……"
Zuo Le's self-defeat made everyone laugh, and it also eliminated the embarrassment of Yan Ni and others, and the atmosphere returned to the harmonious atmosphere just now.
After everyone chatted for more than an hour, the director team collected enough materials and began to issue tasks.
They probably go fishing in the river, go up the mountain to pick mushrooms, or go to the town market to buy vegetables.
Everyone divided their work, Hong Tao and the older ones chose fishing, Peng Peng, Mao Xiao and the younger ones went up the mountain with the girls, Zuo Le and Teacher Huang, Teacher He, Yan Ni, Sha Yi, Yin Li and others went to work.
The most popular actors go to the market.
This is also a deliberate arrangement by the director team. After all, celebrities going to the market to buy vegetables and bargain with merchants are much more interesting than fishing for mushrooms.
Naturally, the most popular actors should be allowed to participate in order to create a strong sensation in the market.
The director's little idea worked. "Wulin Gaiden" ended in late August, and it has only been a little more than a month. The popularity of Shopkeeper Tong, Xiao Guo, and Lao Bai are all at their peak.
Even though the people in the town had seen Teacher Huang and Teacher He several times before and were considered to have seen the world, they could not hide their excitement when they appeared.
Many fans of "Wulin Gaiden" have been following the grocery shopping group, taking pictures with their mobile phones, and shouting loudly from time to time to express their love for Yan Ni and the group.
Compared with Yan Ni and Sha Yi, Zuo Le is the least popular among the group, but his popularity is not bad.
When many people see him, they call him Xiaomi, Liu Ye and other roles he has played. Some people who know that he is a director call him Zuo Dao.
Since Zuo Le became famous, he has met many fans on the road, but this is the first time for him to be surrounded and pursued on such a large scale. It is more or less thanks to Yan Ni and the others and the "Longing for Days" program crew.
A few people bought the food, took photos with some fans at Teacher He's suggestion, and then drove back to the mushroom house and started preparing dinner.
For dinner, Mr. Huang was still the chef, and Zuo Le also made a dish, the spicy chicken that he had wanted to kill the big rooster in the mushroom house.
Nationwide, when it comes to spicy chicken, it generally refers to the spicy chicken nuggets from Sichuan and Chongqing, which are fried with chicken breast and then stir-fried with chili.
However, in Dongshan Province, when talking about spicy chicken, it usually refers to the famous specialty dish of Zuo Le’s hometown, Zhao City.
The cooking method of Zhaoshi Spicy Chicken is different from that of Sichuan and Chongqing. It is fried and then stewed, and then a large amount of dried chili peppers and local hot peppers are added. The taste is salty, spicy and refreshing, and the chicken is fresh and tender. The more you eat it, the more addictive it becomes.
As an authentic Zhaoshi native, Zuo Le grew up eating spicy chicken, and his skills in making this dish are better than the braised pork at noon.
At dinner, the spicy chicken made by Zuo Le was once again well received, especially by several people who love spicy food. They liked this dish very much and asked Zuo Le specifically to make it.
After dinner, I put away the dishes and chopsticks and went to the lobby. Under the leadership of Teacher He, I played small games and the loser sang and performed.
Zuo Le was unlucky and lost first. Seeing a guitar hanging on the wall next to him, he took it over and played a piece of music, singing a love song by Zhang Tianwang.
Everyone knows that Zuo Le has a lot of knowledge about music, otherwise he wouldn't write the lyrics and music for every opening and ending of every TV series, but they didn't know that he can also play the guitar.
Maybe it was because the atmosphere was strong, or maybe he had two drinks with Teacher Huang in the evening, but Zuo Le didn't hold back, so he started chatting about his youthful past in college, when he joined the school's guitar club in order to chase girls.
After saying this, Zuo Le regretted it. If Tian Yan saw this, with her jealous temper, she would have to sleep on the sofa for several days.
In the next game, Zuo Le was playing the game while thinking about how to negotiate with the director team to delete the previous paragraph. He was doing two things at once, causing him to lose focus frequently. The game failed miserably. He sang several songs and stole the show.
But Zuo Le is not the only one who can sing. Not to mention, Sha Yi is from a band. Although his singing is not as good as that of professional singers, he is still much better than ordinary amateurs.
Not to mention that he can also play the saxophone. The director team must have been prepared and prepared the saxophone directly. Sha Yi lost the game and played two pieces for everyone.
There are also Mao Xiao, Jiang Chao, and Hong Tao. The singing voices of these three are all at the Mai Pa level. Mao Xiao can also sing high notes, and his performance of "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" shocked everyone.
Others also have their own unique skills. Zhang Jiajia and Yin Li are good at dancing, Fan Min can sing Allegro, Yan Ni knows Qin opera, and Yu Entai can recite classic lines from Shakespeare's stage plays backwards.
Zhou Binbin doesn't have much talent, but he is very good at telling jokes. Maybe a joke told by others that is not very funny will make him laugh twice as much when it comes to his mouth, which is a bit like a one-man talk show.
Seeing the artists from Shanhe turning the playground into a mushroom house art party, the director of "Longing for Days" laughed so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth.
These guests are well worth the invitation. Not only are they popular, but they all have talents.
After this program is aired, the ratings will skyrocket...
