The preparation of big pot dishes is very simple, but not everyone can make it well.
In some rural areas, weddings and funerals are held and skilled village banquet chefs are invited to prepare this big pot dish. The simple method is a skill that has been learned through thousands of trials and tribulations. The quality of the village banquet depends on whether the dish is cooked well. Ye Chui once learned this dish from a village banquet chef for a long time.
As the saying goes, "Of all vegetables, cabbage is the most delicious, and of all meats, pork is the most fragrant." This dish, which is made with cabbage and pork as the main ingredients, is most delicious when it is cooked in a big pot and enjoyed by everyone together. In another occasion, if the big pot dish is served on the table of a high-end restaurant, the method of preparation is still the same, but it is no longer the original appearance. This is also the wonderful thing about this dish.
All the people waiting for the meal involuntarily gathered around the dining room, staring eagerly at the delicious pot of food that seemed to have no special features but was mouth-watering.
Ye Chui greeted everyone with a smile at this time, and served bowls of dishes in clean white porcelain bowls to everyone in turn. The steamed buns of the crew were supplied directly, and there was no shortage of them. A bowl of big pot dish was served with two steamed buns, which was simple and sweet.
Ye Chui has the cooking skills of a god of gourmet, and he has always cherished his cooking skills. It costs a lot of money to let him cook, but occasionally he doesn't mind cooking for everyone for free - the attraction of food lies in seeing other people being moved by his food. What's more, unique dishes like big pot dishes are the most charming only in such occasions.
"Young man, your dish is so delicious. I didn't expect that with the same ingredients, your dishes are so much better than those of the chefs in the crew!"
"That's right, it's such a simple method, but I didn't expect the taste to be so unique."
"I will definitely ask the crew's chef to learn this skill later."
…
The extras and crew members came up to praise him, and Ye Chui smiled and responded. These people didn't have any intuitive concept of recipes, and Ye Chui didn't care much about it. It wasn't because he was broad-minded. In fact, the method of making big pot dishes was not a recipe at all. This world also had such dishes. The uniqueness of this dish was the skill. It was not something that could be learned by stealing a few simple words.
Ye Chui finally filled a bowl and brought it to the table next to him.
Most of the extras and staff were sitting on the ground, scooping rice from their large bowls, but they were now showing indescribable respect to Ye Chui. Seeing the girls around Ye Chui, they couldn't let them eat like this, right? So they moved a table and chairs and placed them under a peach tree nearby. It was refreshing and comfortable, and it was a different experience.
"Ye Chui. This dish is so delicious. It tastes just as good as the meals you cooked before." Seeing Ye Chui coming over, Lin Wei immediately shouted with satisfaction.
Han Yuyan's mouth was full of steamed buns. The elder sister was also very hungry. She nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, Master, I think we should add this big pot dish to the menu of our restaurant."
"This dish only tastes good when cooked in a big pot. It's not suitable to be put on a restaurant menu." Ye Chui said with a smile, "But if you guys are willing to eat it, I can cook it for you from time to time."
"That's it!" said Wang Shiyu with a smile on her face. The little girl must be very glad that she secretly shared the lunch box with the little monkey. Otherwise, she would not be able to taste such delicious food...
Everyone was happily eating here. In the high-end hotel in Taofeng Town, Ren Xueting had just finished putting on her makeup. She sniffed the fragrance and felt extremely hungry. Her assistant knocked on the door and said to her, "Ms. Ren, I have already found out. The smell came from the crew's canteen. It seems that the extras are cooking something. I don't think it's anything special. It's not classy at all. The food specially made for you is ready. The director and others are waiting for you. Go and eat."
"The crew's chef's cooking skills are terrible. I'm tired of eating his dishes." Ren Xueting shook her head and took a deep breath. "This smell is pretty good. I want to eat it."
"Ms. Ren, this is not possible. How can someone of your status have dinner with those extras and people from the props crew?" the assistant said quickly.
Ren Xueting snorted: "Who said we were going to eat together... Go find the chef and ask him to make another portion just for me!"
"Oh I see!"
The assistant nodded quickly and ran out in a hurry.
In the dining room, Ye Chui, Han Yuyan, Lin Wei, An Jing, and Wang Shiyu sat on stools, eating simple but delicious dishes from a big pot with steamed buns. Ye Chui was fine, but the sight of Han Yuyan, Lin Wei, An Jing, and Wang Shiyu eating like this was indeed a bit strange...
Just as they were enjoying the meal, a burst of "chi chi, chi chi" sounds suddenly came over, and Wang Shiyu immediately shouted, "Little monkey!"
I saw a little monkey appear on the peach tree next to me. It was clinging to the branches and looking at Ye Chui and others under the tree. The monkeys on the mountain are not afraid of people. At this time, the monkey was probably attracted by the smell of food. Wang Shiyu waved her hands to call the monkey down. The little monkey hesitated for a while, and actually jumped down from the tree, hopping to Wang Shiyu's side, took half a steamed bun from Wang Shiyu's hand, squatted on the ground and started eating.
Wang Shiyu was even happier. She squatted aside, carefully reached out her hand, and gently stroked the little monkey's head.
The little monkey shook his head but didn't react much.
Ye Chui, Han Yuyan, Lin Wei, An Jing and others found this picture interesting and full of childlike fun.
Wang Shiyu loved the little monkey even more. She suddenly thought of something and took off a bracelet on her wrist, which was bought for her by Han Yuyan when she went shopping with him not long ago. She treasured it very much. But at this time she seemed to want to give the bracelet to the little monkey. Wang Shiyu carefully tied her bracelet around the thin wrist of the little monkey. The little monkey shook his wrist in front of her eyes and made a "chichi, chichi" sound from his mouth. He seemed to be very happy and patted his wrist gently with his other hand lovingly.
Wang Shiyu was even happier and patted the little monkey's head gently: "Little monkey, this is my treasure. I'm giving it to you now. You must protect it well for me. I will come to see you next time."
"Chirp, chirp." I don't know if the little monkey understood it or not, but he jumped up and down with joy.
Seeing this scene, Ye Chui and others burst into laughter.
But suddenly, the little monkey seemed to be aware of something. His small body shook slightly, and he hurriedly jumped onto the peach tree next to him, and disappeared in a few whooshes.
Ye Chui was stunned for a moment, turned around, and saw the assistant coming over. The little monkey was scared away by her.
Wang Shiyu watched the little monkey run away, waved her hands and shouted, "Goodbye, little monkey!"
The assistant seemed to think Wang Shiyu's behavior was a bit childish. He snorted and walked to Ye Chui: "Did you cook the dishes here?"
Ye Chui still remembered how rude this assistant was before. He gave her the earrings, but she didn't say thank you and even complained about Ye Chui not returning them to her in time. So naturally, she didn't look happy at this moment and said lightly, "Yes."
"Okay, come with me. Miss Ren likes your food very much and hopes you can make another one for her." The assistant immediately said coldly in a commanding tone. And from the tone of her voice, it seemed that it was such an honor for Ye Chu to help Ren Xueting cook, and Ye Chui should agree to her excitedly. After she finished speaking, she seemed to have no mood to say anything more and turned around to leave.
But after taking a few steps, he found that Ye Chui had not moved. He was still sitting on the chair, with a hint of mockery on his face.
The assistant suddenly became angry: "What are you still doing sitting here? Come with me!"
"Sorry, I'm eating." Ye Cui said coldly.
"You...how can you be so ungrateful? Don't you know that Miss Ren has the final say in this crew? Do you believe that Miss Ren can fire you with just one word?" the assistant shouted angrily, putting his hands on his hips.
Ye Chui couldn't help but smile: "Really? But I'm not from your crew, so you can fire me if you want."
assistant:"… "
The assistants and staff nearby, who probably often suffered from bullying from this assistant, snickered when they saw her being humiliated.
"You... you are not from the crew? Then why are you here?" The assistant felt that she was superior because she was Ren Xueting's assistant. Everyone in the crew obeyed her orders, but Ye Chui in front of her was not from the crew at all. She was a little furious. "No matter why you are here, Miss Ren likes to eat your food. You are so happy that you can't wait. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and make me another one, otherwise Miss Ren will suffer if it gets too lively. You should go and ask around. Miss Ren has the final say here!"
"Really? There are still leftovers in the pot over there. Since Ren Xueting is the biggest here, you can go and serve it yourself." Ye Chui pointed to the big pot next to him, not caring about the assistant's threat at all.
"Are you kidding me?" The assistant suddenly became angry. "Who is Miss Ren? How could she eat from the same pot with you guys?"
You people
The faces of the extras and staff who were originally watching the fun changed.
Ye Chui's expression also turned a little unhappy: Is this the standard way of looking at people with dog eyes? (~^~)
