Chapter 106: Delicious! Taste buds exploding! [Please subscribe! 2]

9:45 PM.

"Time is about up."

Qin Mu said softly.

Huang Lei woke up instantly and hurriedly ran to the stove.

After being struck down for so long.

He finally understood one truth!

Brother Qin's culinary skills were above his...

By a lot!

Therefore, if he said it was about time, then it was about to be ready!

The pot that had been covered was steaming with white vapor.

Huang Lei picked up a handkerchief, wrapped his hand, and gently lifted the lid.

Instantly, the rich fragrance of the soup rushed to his nose.

It almost intoxicated him!

Just by smelling it, he knew it was a premium product!

"Should I take it out now?"

Huang Lei asked hurriedly.

"Teacher Huang, the tendon and quail eggs you prepared haven't been stir-fried in oil yet."

Qin Mu said helplessly, "Simmer on low heat first; you can take it out of the pot after you've finished stir-frying the ingredients."

A bit forgetful.

"Oh my, look at my brain."

Huang Lei patted his own head, feeling extremely embarrassed.

What's going on?

I used to be very organized when I cooked.

How did it all become a mess now!

"Teacher Huang, come on."

Zhang Zifeng silently cheered him on from the side.

But although she said that, the smile in her eyes couldn't be hidden.

Today's Papa Huang is quite different!

Huang Lei glared at her, as if saying, 'Little Sister, what happens in the kitchen cannot be known by a fourth person!'

"Teacher Huang, get ready."

"I'm going to switch the camera."

Qin Mu shook his head and took down the fixed camera.

He slowly moved the lens onto Huang Lei.

The latter instantly perked up, and his back straightened by half a notch for no reason.

We're recording!

Cheer up!

"Friends, the broth has been successfully simmered, taking two hours and thirty-five minutes."

"Of course, how long it takes to simmer depends on whether the soup is thick enough and whether the fragrance has dispersed; you can't rely entirely on time."

Speaking of this, Huang Lei poured cold oil into another clean, large pot.

"Starting with cold oil is key."

"Stir-fry these ingredients for thirty seconds until half-cooked."

Soon, the ingredients were put into the pot one after another.

Clang, clang, clang!

Seemingly to regain some of the face he had just lost, he displayed high-difficulty wok-tossing techniques.

Qin Mu naturally wouldn't miss these details, and the lens focused on them.

'God-level automatic capture activated!'

'Food photography expertise activated!'

In the footage, Huang Lei was calm and composed, one hand pushing and pulling the oil wok vigorously, the other hand holding the spatula and flipping repeatedly; his technique was fast, accurate, and ruthless. The ingredients in the wok were suspended in the air one moment and back in the pot the next, the golden oil glistening on them as they emitted a 'sizzle' sound.

One word: cool!

A moment later.

"Teacher Huang, take it off the heat!"

Qin Mu reminded him at the perfect moment.

Huang Lei nodded earnestly, and without any panic, drained the oil from the pot, placing the cooked food into a large bowl.

Immediately after, he picked up the pot and lifted the lid.

Whoosh!

The milky white, translucent soup, like a clear spring stream, rolled into the bowl.

Qin Mu hurriedly pulled the lens over, giving a solid, beautiful close-up!

The bowl was soon filled.

Huang Lei gracefully sprinkled a handful of green onions.

Done!

"Hungry."

Outside the pavilion, the few of them were staring blankly, starving.

Especially the fragrance faintly drifting from the kitchen, making them swallow their saliva violently.

"Peng Peng, Teacher He, come and serve the dishes."

Suddenly, Huang Lei's head poked out of the window.

That calling gesture, that happy expression, were actually in the eyes of everyone.

Becoming exceptionally handsome.

The food is here!

Soon, with everyone working together to set the table.

The delicious dishes were all served.

Placed in the very center was naturally that meticulously prepared 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.'

"Come."

"Let's all have a drink first!"

Huang Lei used his chopsticks to pat Peng Peng's impatient hand and smiled as he raised his glass.

"Congratulations on the official broadcast of our 'Longing for Life'!"

"And congratulations on the official broadcast of Director Chen and Director Zhang's 'A Bite of China'!"

"Also, welcome to Brother Qin, Director Chen, and Director Zhang!"

"Finally, thank you to Brother Qin for filming the first shot of my 'Gourmet Highlights'!"

Immediately after, he said four welcome toasts in one breath.

"Lei Zi, you're being too perfunctory."

"One glass of wine can represent four times? Why not do them separately?"

"Exactly, at least do them one by one."

"Teacher Huang! No matter what, you have to drink four glasses!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

"Sure."

"Then we'll drink slowly; anyway, after we finish drinking, we'll eat the food."

Huang Lei didn't back down at all, saying leisurely.

"Enough! One glass is enough! The wine is little, but the friendship is there!"

"Right! Everything is in the glass, I'll finish mine first!"

"I think we can skip the drinking part, let's just start eating!"

"Eating is the most important! We can drink wine anytime!"

Everyone changed their tune instantly.

They were all craving it!

They just wanted to start eating immediately!

"Hahaha, convinced now?"

Huang Lei felt so good inside.

Grabbing someone's taste buds is grabbing all their leverage!

"Cheers!"

"Welcome!"

"Thank you for the sumptuous dinner!"

"Cheers to our first gathering!"

Clink!

Downed in one gulp!

"Teacher Huang, can I eat now?"

Peng Peng asked hurriedly, his eyes almost popping out.

"Start eating!"

As soon as the words fell.

Everyone moved their chopsticks in unison, but they all pointed toward the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in the middle.

"Haha, great minds think alike!"

"One by one, don't grab!"

"Let's taste how it is."

No choice.

This dish was the grand finale, and everyone wanted to try how it really was.

Besides, it was also the most fragrant of all the dishes!

Like the others, Zhang Yimou slowly scooped a spoonful into his bowl and twitched his nose slightly.

He felt refreshed and his appetite was wide open!

Without being polite to others, he hurriedly picked up his spoon and took a mouthful.

Instantly, his eyes widened.

It was so delicious!

The smooth but not greasy texture, the fragrant and delicious flavor, completely exploded on his taste buds.

Especially the thick soup, which slid down in one go, fleeting.

He didn't even have time to let it stay in his mouth for a while!

No!

Let me taste it again!

Zhang Yimou hurriedly drank it all in big gulps.
