Chapter 243: Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, please give me your guidance, Brother Qin

Huang Lei was the first to bring out the ingredients for Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

Sea cucumber, abalone, chicken, ribs, pig trotters, duck, pork tripe, duck gizzard, fish maw, flower maw...

A dense, massive pile!

"Does making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall really require so many things?"

Zhang Zifeng was amazed.

She had eaten authentic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall before.

But it was just a small bowl.

Did it hide so many good things inside?

"Yes."

"Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is a famous specialty dish of our country, known for being a hodgepodge."

"Although there are many raw materials, they both share a common deliciousness and maintain their own unique characteristics."

Qin Mu explained with a smile.

"Brother Qin, you are truly learned and talented."

Huang Lei gave a thumbs up and began to prepare earnestly.

Soon, after he had cleaned the workstation.

He straightened his clothes and gave two light coughs to clear his throat.

"Brother Qin, we can begin!"

"Okay."

Qin Mu nodded and turned on the camera.

The lens focused on his face.

"Friends, hello."

"This is the first episode of my special program, 'Food Collection'."

"Today, the delicacy I bring to everyone is called 'Buddha Jumps Over the Wall'."

"Legend has it that this dish first appeared during a literary gathering in the Daoguang era, made by stewing various meats and seafood together; the dish is rich and diverse, and the taste is delicious."

"After tasting it, the scholars praised it endlessly and even wrote a poem for it."

"The aroma of the meat drifts to the neighbors, the Buddha smells it and abandons his meditation to jump over the wall."

"This is the origin of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall!"

After a simple introduction, Huang Lei walked to the kitchen counter. "Next is the production process."

"First, we should soak the sea cucumber and abalone two days in advance to achieve the best texture."

He took the sea cucumber and abalone from the side.

Looking at the state of the ingredients, they must have been bought as finished products, which saved this step.

After all, he had made this decision on the spur of the moment; how could he have prepared two days in advance?

Hearing this, Qin Mu focused the lens and gave the two ingredients a close-up.

"Next, what we need to do is wash the scallions and ginger, then cut them into bits and set them aside."

Tap, tap, tap!

Huang Lei's knife skills were still pretty good.

With every cut, the pieces were distinct and orderly.

"Then, simmer the stock."

"This stock is extremely particular; you need to put all the various ingredients in at the same time."

"Remember, you must grasp the timing, otherwise you will miss the essence."

After washing the pot, Huang Lei first added some cold water, then dumped in the chicken, ribs, pig trotters, pork tripe, duck gizzard, and so on all at once.

Instantly, the whole pot was packed to the brim.

Soon, under the high heat, the water boiled.

"Skim off the foam."

Huang Lei carefully scooped out ladle after ladle of bloody foam.

At this moment, Qin Mu aimed the lens at him.

'God-level automatic capture activated!'

When making food videos, although most of the footage should be on the food preparation, the chef's handsome image, smooth movements, and cautious actions also become bonus points.

Therefore, through changes in different angles, individual highlights were constructed.

In the lens, Huang Lei's peak attractiveness was captured!

"Then, drain the water and add the scallions and ginger."

Huang Lei naturally didn't know; he had already fully immersed himself in the food preparation.

Where was the image of the scheming old fox from before!

"Now it's just the waiting process."

"Generally, it needs to simmer for two to three hours."

Hearing this, Qin Mu fixed the camera in place, keeping the lens projected on the pot.

And he himself moved away.

After all, having to wait two or three hours, it was impossible to stay there without moving; letting the camera film by itself was fine.

As for shortening the video length later, he just needed to speed up the content progress in post-production.

"Brother Qin, how is the filming going?"

Huang Lei let out a sigh of relief and asked hurriedly.

He had been quite nervous just now.

"It's alright."

Qin Mu raised an eyebrow and said, then added: "It's just..."

"Just what?"

Huang Lei's heart skipped a beat.

Did something go wrong?

"Teacher Huang, may I ask, how many times have you made this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall in total?"

Qin Mu asked.

"Twice."

"I made it once on the show before, and once at home."

Huang Lei answered honestly and quickly.

Sure enough...

Not very skilled!

After a wry smile, Qin Mu said: "Teacher Huang, actually there was a small problem in your production process. Of course, it didn't affect the filming, it will just slightly affect the taste."

Yes.

From the moment Teacher Huang started simmering the stock, he had seen the flaws in it.

However, he didn't interrupt directly; after all, a chef's state of mind isn't so easy to cultivate.

Besides, it wasn't a big problem; by shifting the angle slightly during filming, it was covered up.

That's why he waited until now to say it.

"What problem?"

"Please give me your guidance, Brother Qin!"

Huang Lei's expression tightened, and he hurriedly asked for advice.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was indeed not his specialty.

It was only because this dish had a complex process and a high status.

That was why he took it as the opening act for his 'Food Collection'!

Now that a problem had arisen, he naturally wanted to correct it as soon as possible.

"I wouldn't dare call it guidance." ===== CHAPTER 245 =====
