When Hu Mingli heard this, she suddenly became happy.
"Hello, I'm Hu Mingli. Let's shake hands." She took on the posture of a female star.
The fan took off his gloves at a trot and shook hands with Hu Mingli excitedly.
"I've always liked you when I was a kid, and I never dreamed that I could meet you here. I'm so excited."
Hu Mingli also smiled, "I didn't expect to meet my fans in the Lion City."
"Isn't that natural? Your drama was so popular back then, and our whole family loved watching it..."
After the fan finished speaking excitedly, he asked again, "By the way, what are you doing here? There are cameras filming, are you recording the show?"
Sun Hailong quickly explained, "Yes, we are here to record a program. We are Xijing TV's "Wandering Kitchen". We need to collect ingredients that others no longer need and make them into delicacies. Do you have any on board?
Got the ingredients?”
The fan nodded, "Yes, there is. I'll go look for it for you."
As he spoke, Sun Hailong found some unsaleable fish from the fishing boat that were of inappropriate size.
"Wow, there are so many. Thank you so much." Hu Mingli said excitedly, looking like a little girl who had received a gift.
The fan scratched his head and said, "As long as you can be useful. I am so happy. I will tell my parents when I go back today that I actually met Hu Mingli and she is so beautiful."
The fans' words gave Hu Mingli confidence. After getting so many ingredients, the first thing she thought about was to show off to Ji Xinyao.
"It's much harder to get so much fish than rice and vegetables. Xiaoji, don't you think so?"
As she spoke, she searched for Ji Xinyao's position with her eyes.
Ji Xinyao was no longer with her. When Hu Mingli was shaking hands with fans excitedly, Ji Xinyao had already walked to the female worker mending fishing nets.
"Auntie, hello, my name is Ji Xinyao..." Ji Xinyao introduced herself and the program to the female workers, and then put forward her own ideas, "Can I help you mend the fishing nets? If you are satisfied, take me to each fishing boat to ask.
Are there any unnecessary ingredients?”
She thought that these female workers worked on this beach every day and must know a lot of people. If she went there by herself, it would be necessary to spend some time communicating, but if someone took her there, the situation would be different.
The female worker who mended the net raised her head and glanced at her, and asked in authentic Hakka dialect, "You are a fair and tender little girl, how can you still do such rough work?"
Ji Xinyao immediately replied to her in Hakka, "I can do it, don't worry. I'm very good at this kind of work."
"Then you try it."
The other party gave her a chance, and without saying a word, she moved a large, flat rock on the beach to sit down on, and then mended the fishing net.
"Looking at how thin and small you are, you are quite strong." The female net mending worker was shocked when she saw how effortlessly she lifted the big stone.
Ji Xinyao raised her arms, exposing her muscles, "I have a great body and can do any job."
Ji Xinyao's skills in patching the nets are not just for boasting, they are at a professional level. She patched the nets quickly and well, and she had several nets patched up in no time.
Seeing that the work was finished, the female worker took Ji Xinyao on various fishing boats to collect ingredients as agreed.
The fishermen didn't ask any questions because they were acquaintances and gave them whatever they asked for. Therefore, the ingredients Ji Xinyao collected were not as single as Hu Mingli's, but had everything. The crabs and shrimps with broken pincers were too small, so they were sold.
There are no shellfish left, and there are even some leftover sashimi that the fishermen eat on the boat. They are all good things.
Ji Xinyao hugged her harvest, smiled in front of the camera, and shouted, "Great harvest!"
Those small fish that Hu Mingli got were simply not enough to see in Ji Xinyao's comparison.
Ji Xinyao asked Hu Mingli kindly, "Sister Mingli, aren't you going to make fried hairtail? I see that all you got are cod. I have hairtail here, do you want it?"
Hu Mingli glared at her angrily, "No! I'll change the menu!"
"Well, sister Mingli must make everything delicious."
Changing the menu in "The Wandering Kitchen" is a big deal, which means that the goal she set has not been achieved. So Hu Mingli encouraged her to change the menu before. Now it is Hu Mingli herself who changes the menu.
As the day passed, Ji Xinyao checked the missing ingredients for her Italian seafood risotto. She also had not got the wine and chicken stock for the seasoning base.
So on the third day of searching for ingredients, Ji Xinyao went to the largest business district in the Lion City and went door to door at various shops to ask if they had any unwanted chicken soup and wine. Later, she got a box of thick soup that had just expired.
precious.
It's still usable, but it's just passed the tasting period. Generally, the shelf life will be longer than the tasting period.
But there is nothing unnecessary about wine.
So Ji Xinyao found a winery in Lion City and got some wine dregs left after filtering the wine. After filtering with a gauze screen, some liquid could be squeezed out. Because it had not been processed, it looked better than the wine sold on the market.
There's a lot of mud, and it's true that it's just used for cooking, so it's just enough.
Another day passed, and finally it was the last day of recording for this program.
The program crew set up a simple kitchen in the downtown area, and passers-by automatically became the audience, watching them cook.
Everyone changed into chef costumes, and Sun Hailong took the microphone and introduced the program to everyone.
Because this is a busy city, many young people passed by and curiously took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
Ji Xinyao received a lot of food and shared it with everyone, so the dishes she cooked were a few more than originally ordered.
When recording the program, the production process also needs to be reported so that the audience can learn from it.
"First we have to finely dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the parsley and set aside."
Her hands and feet were very nimble, and she cut the ingredients in no time, and then started processing the seafood.
"There is no need to cook the rice. We can directly stir-fry the ingredients and add the rice. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the olive oil is evenly coated on the rice grains. Then use 2 cups of water to make a thick soup and add wine to make a soup.
Juice, red wine or white wine will all work, it’s mainly used to enhance the flavor.”
As she spoke, she demonstrated.
"Then pour one-third of the soup into the pot, stir-fry evenly until the soup is completely absorbed by the rice, then pour in the remaining soup and stir evenly. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes. Note
It needs to be stirred halfway. At this time, we can start dicing the cooked shrimps, squid, etc., and remove the shells of shellfish."
After completing the above steps, she poured the seafood in, dissolved the tomato sauce with a little water and poured it into the pot. Stir-fried until even, and then tried to see if the rice was cooked. Because it is brown rice, it takes longer to cook than polished rice.
Some.
When the rice is cooked, it can be taken out of the pot and plated.
In addition, Ji Xinyao also made some snacks such as fried squid rings, which made the children watching in the audience cry. After everyone finished making their own set meals, they entered the regular charity sale of the show, and all proceeds from the charity sale will be donated to
Child welfare agencies.
Because the charity sale price for each guest was the same, Ji Xinyao's set meal seemed to be extremely rich in content, and immediately, a long queue formed in front of her.
