Chapter 105: Huang Lei: I suddenly don't want to be a chef anymore! [Please subscribe! 1]

At this moment, Huang Lei had been deeply struck.

"Brother Qin, what should I do then?"

He looked miserable and at a loss.

This time, he had specifically invited Qin Mu and the others over for dinner.

Especially Director Chen and Zhang Yimou; these two were his old friends, and he had hoped to amaze them with his cooking.

This Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was the grand finale dish!

But he never expected...

Sigh, he was too impatient; he wasn't prepared at all.

"Teacher Huang, don't worry."

Qin Mu smiled and said slowly, "Actually, the method to make up for it is very simple."

"First, for the video, I have already deliberately covered up the ratio and quantity issues. You just need to add subtitles in post-production and write down the recipe. That way, the audience won't notice anything."

"Second, regarding the taste, you just need to add 100g of pig trotter, 150g of chicken wings, 100g of ribs, three tablespoons of cooking wine, and two tablespoons of passion fruit juice."

"I'll try it!"

Hearing this, Huang Lei was shocked.

Post-production and such didn't need to be worried about right now.

The most important thing was to fix the deliciousness!

Following the quantities given by Qin Mu, he carefully added the ingredients.

Not even two minutes later!

A faint fragrance of soup wafted out, something that hadn't been there before at all!

"Wow!"

"This is too magical!"

Zhang Zifeng covered her mouth, her playful eyes already wide open.

So magical!

Just by adding these things, it suddenly became so delicious!

Huang Lei leaned close to the pot, used his hand to gently fan the steam, and then twitched his nose.

Immediately after, his body stiffened!

Yes!

This is the taste!

This was the exact taste of the authentic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall he had eaten when he went to Fuzhou!

"Brother Qin, you..."

"I truly admire you!"

After a long time, he finally came back to his senses, turned to look at Qin Mu, his eyes full of shock and gratitude.

Too amazing!

Brother Qin, in just a few words, saved a pot of broth that had "many mistakes."

And allowed him to stand tall in front of everyone again!

This pot of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!

I made it!

Ahem.

Brother Qin guided me.

"Brother Qin, have you studied to be a chef before?"

Zhang Zifeng held her pretty face, blinking her starry eyes, and asked curiously.

"No."

"I just eat a lot, so I have experience."

Qin Mu smiled slightly.

You might not believe it if I told you.

I suddenly had experience, about six or seven hours ago.

The kitchen was bustling, while in the courtyard pavilion, they were leisurely drinking tea and chatting.

"What dish is Lei Zi preparing?"

"Being so mysterious, saying he'd give us a surprise; I think it's a fright!"

Zhang Yimou laughed.

However, to be honest, he was still looking forward to it.

"Maybe it's some grand dish."

He Jiong smiled and looked at Peng Peng, "Peng Peng, why don't you go help us scout it out? That way we can be mentally prepared."

Peng Peng: "..."

Why is it always me who gets hurt!

However, under the burning gazes of everyone, he had no choice but to sneak over honestly.

After a while.

Peng Peng returned, his face full of intoxication.

"What's wrong with you?"

Director Chen asked suspiciously.

What did you see?

Look at how happy you are.

"It smells so good!"

Peng Peng muttered.

"Peng Peng, I think you're asking for a beating!"

He Jiong made a gesture to hit him.

Is your skin getting tight?

Why are you teasing us? Just say it!

"It's all smoky inside, I couldn't see clearly, I just vaguely saw a pot, it should be for holding soup."

"And I could smell a soup fragrance from outside the window."

"It smells super good!"

Peng Peng shrank his neck and said hurriedly.

Soup?

A pot?

"What kind of fragrance?"

"Describe it!"

Zhang Yimou pressed.

"It's just..."

Peng Peng fell into deep thought, and the feeling of eating instant noodles for the first time couldn't help but appear in his mind.

Ahem.

Wrong thought.

"Um... it seems quite similar to the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Teacher Huang cooked last time."

"Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!"

Director Chen's heart skipped a beat.

Lei Zi is going this hard?

Actually making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall directly!

This is one of the top ten famous dishes in the country!

"There aren't many chefs in the country who can truly make it authentically."

Zhang Yimou frowned.

He felt Old Huang was being a bit reckless.

If he makes it for us to eat, whether it's authentic or not doesn't matter.

It's just for fun anyway.

But if you're recording a show, you can't mess around!

After all, Huang Lei is an A-list actor; if he switches to another industry, many people will definitely pay attention.

If he doesn't do it well, there will definitely be haters stirring up trouble!

"Sigh, I'll advise Teacher Huang later to be cautious and not release this video."

He Jiong also thought of this and sighed.

He also felt that although Teacher Huang's standard wasn't bad, it was still some distance from a true master chef.

In the kitchen.

During the two hours of waiting.

Huang Lei wasn't idle either, busily starting to prepare other delicacies.

For dinner, it was impossible for so many people to just sit around eating one Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!

In terms of dish selection, he decided to bring out his signature dishes.

Twice-cooked pork, shredded pork with two kinds of peppers, tiger skin green peppers, stewed vermicelli with minced meat, tomato scrambled eggs.

He had made these dishes many times and was very familiar with them.

However, for the sake of stability and to ask for advice.

Before cooking, Huang Lei specifically asked Qin Mu for help, asking him to take a look for him.

If there was anything wrong, just point it out.

And so, it happened...

"Teacher Huang, the twice-cooked pork needs to be fried for a bit longer, so the meat can be more crispy and tender."

"Also, for the best ratio of shredded pork with two peppers, I think the garnish and the shredded pork should be close to two to one for the texture to reach its peak."

"For the stewed vermicelli, Teacher Huang, you added too much salt. Vermicelli absorbs salt easily, which will make the whole dish lose its special flavor."

"..."

Qin Mu's words came one after another.

It was like knife after knife stabbing into Huang Lei's heart; his whole face was as yellow as pickled vegetables.

Heavens!

So my cooking is this bad!

Suddenly I don't want to be a chef anymore.

Maybe I should just honestly be an actor!

Beside him, Zhang Zifeng watched this scene and didn't know how many times she had covered her mouth to laugh.
