“Good evening, everyone.” With the experience of the previous live broadcasts, Zhou Jinnan learned to greet the audience before the live broadcast. He asked seriously and got straight to the point: “Today’s live broadcast has a lot of content, a total of five dishes, fried double crisp, first-class boneless braised chicken, snowflake crab, jade and agate double treasures, and Wensi tofu soup.”

[Wow, five dishes! A big deal! The anchor finally made more delicious food! ]

[There are meat and vegetables, cakes and soups. I’m going to have a good time today! ]

[I wish I could win the lottery today. I don’t care even if I put all of this month’s salary into it, at least let me eat it once! ]

[These are all names of dishes I have never heard of before, but they sound delicious! ]

[I only know about Wensi tofu soup… a classic knife skill dish. I have eaten many different ways of making it, I don’t know what it will be like when made by Brother Zhou.  ]

[Fried double crisps! Isn’t this one of Jiufulou’s signature dishes? Even the chef of Jiufulou can’t always cook well. It really tests the chef’s control over the heat. The chef is very confident in himself. ]

[I don’t expect to win the lottery, but when will your Jushanlou open? I’m on Aquamarine Star and can fly over at any time! ]

[Why is it different today? The host is cooking with the little brother? ]

[Yes, I noticed it too. Wasn’t the chef responsible for all the dishes before? Why did the host join in today? ]

At this time, Zhou Shudi was brushing the carefully selected crabs with a small brush according to Zhou Jinnan’s instructions, and then steaming them in a steamer with clean water.  Zhou Shudi himself asked Zhou Jinnan to help him. Ever since he knew that Zhou Jinnan’s cooking skills were much better than his own, he had been thinking about learning from Zhou Jinnan. Today, he finally got Zhou Jinnan’s approval, so he temporarily entrusted the live broadcast work to Huo Xuan, the only one who seemed to be the most idle among the few people, and followed Zhou Jinnan to help.

The most fundamental foothold of a restaurant is the skills of the chefs in the restaurant and the dishes in the restaurant. The catering industry is no different from other industries. As long as there is the support of diners, all other problems can be solved slowly. Zhou Shudi has already deeply experienced this. Zhou Shudi understands that the reopening of Jushanlou will definitely not rely on Zhou Jinnan alone. Therefore, only his own cooking skills can support Jushanlou and allow Jushanlou to regain its foothold. With a top chef like Zhou Jinnan by his side, how could Zhou Shudi miss this opportunity?

 “You want me to help you shoot a live broadcast? Do you know what I usually do?” Huo Xuan’s face was a little stiff when he heard Zhou Shudi’s request for help with the live broadcast. “Besides, don’t we have that kind of automatic live broadcast robot? Why do we need to do it manually?”

“The live broadcast robot with fully automatic intelligent live broadcast mode is very expensive. I am not a full-time live broadcaster, so there is no need to buy it.” Zhou Shudi said, “Hurry up, if you help earlier, I will save some time, and you can eat earlier.”

…Okay. Huo Xuan succumbed to the claws of delicious food, and took Zhou Shudi’s live broadcast equipment in a sullen manner. He also bought a fully automatic intelligent live broadcast robot at his own expense while he was at it. After FedEx delivered it, he immediately freed himself, turned on the full automatic mode, and stood in the kitchen to watch. “Just think of it as me paying for your meal in advance.” Even if he reached a huge deal with Zhou Jinnan, Huo Xuan still did not win the right for himself,Prince, Qin Kai to eat for free at Zhou’s house.

 Zhou Jinnan said that every penny counts, and every transaction must be clear and must not be confused!

Zhou Shudi: “As long as you are happy, but the food expenses… you can talk to Jinnan yourself.” He didn’t want to discuss any money issues with Zhou Jinnan.

“What are you talking about? I refuse. You want to pay for food with a piece of iron? Don’t even think about it!” Although the kitchen is large, Zhou Jinnan heard the voices of Huo Xuan and Zhou Shudi clearly. He refused without waiting for Huo Xuan to talk to him.

[I heard another voice! There are other people in the kitchen? No wonder there are two more dishes in the live broadcast today. ]

[23333 Chef brother is as stingy as ever. ]

[This voice! It is definitely nice! I bet it must be a good-looking brother! ]

[I am familiar with this voice! I have definitely heard it before! But I can’t remember who it is QVQ]

[This is a food live broadcast! Don’t go off topic, Brother Zhou has already started making snow crab dou, which is my favorite crab! ]

Zhou Shudi took out the steamed crabs, carefully cut off the crab claws and legs, removed the crab shells, crab meat and crab roe, and sorted them out in order. The crab shells were stacked in a snow-white deep plate to dry and cool. Zhou Jinnan was busy beating the separated egg whites into a fluffy and snow-white appearance. This was a very time-consuming process. Zhou Jinnan was unwilling to use a machine. After seeing that Zhou Shudi had finished his work, he handed this process over to Zhou Shudi to complete, and went to fry the crab meat filling of the snowflake crab himself.

A little bit of pork fat is chopped into puree and mixed with the removed crab meat. He heated the pan, poured out the cold oil after greasing the pan, wiped the bottom of the pan with cooked lard and then poured in the crab meat. He added Shaoxing wine, salt and sugar one by one and stir-fried the crab meat. He sprinkled a little white pepper powder before serving, then served and put them in the crab shells on the plate. At this time, Zhou Shudi’s egg white snowflakes are also beaten into shape. Zhou Jinnan adds a little salt and then puts the snowflakes on the crab meat. He added a spoonful of broth to some starch, and formed a transparent glass-like appearance with the soup of the previously fried crab meat, poured it on the finished snowflake crab, and it’s done.

Qin Kai and Prince followed the smell in the kitchen and appeared in the kitchen as soon as the snowflake crab was finished. After staying in the Zhou family for so long, they have figured out when to enter the kitchen to catch up with the food. In fact, if there is no clear order from Zhou Jinnan, the food will often be snatched up before it reaches the table.

 Huo Xuan was already eating a snowflake crab. Crab is a delicacy that can be made delicious even with the simplest steaming. Zhou Jinnan did not use too many complicated methods to process the crab meat, but retained the most original sweet taste of crab meat. The slight spiciness of white pepper stimulated the appetite. The egg white was beaten until it was soft and white like a group of light clouds. It seemed like nothing in the mouth, only the freshness of the lightest egg itself.

“I have always been very curious. Why does the food you make always tastes… just right?” The crab was no bigger than half the size of Huo Xuan’s fist, and it can be eaten in a few bites. Huo Xuan sucked the crab shell clean and asked Zhou Jinnan what he had been thinking about for a long time. He couldn’t figure out how Zhou Jinnan solved the problem that had troubled countless chefs for thousands of years.

Zhou Jinnan was instructing Zhou Shudi on how to prepare the pork belly and chicken gizzards for deep-fried double crisps. This dish takes a very short time to cook, but the ingredients need to be prepared carefully before cooking. Hearing Huo Xuan’s question, Zhou Jinnan asked back: “You already know the difference between my dishes and other delicacies, but have you ever thought about why this happens? Since food provides you  with the nutrition to grow, why do you only find that food can soothe your spirit in addition to providing the necessary nutrition for your body?” Huo Xuan couldn’t help but fall into deep thought. Those who were lucky enough to win the purchase quota and taste Zhou Jinnan’s food in the previous food live broadcasts also fell into deep thought with him. They all found the difference between Zhou Jinnan’s food and other delicacies. However, out of some secret thoughts, no one said this out loud. Instead they were more enthusiastic to grab the purchase quota, even if they had to pay more for it. If people discover the peculiarity of such a magical delicacy, it will definitely be in short supply. While not many people are paying attention to it, they will secretly eat it first. It is cheaper to eat it for one more day =W=

“In the ancient earth period, there was a kind of food classification called medicinal food. And almost every ingredient was believed by the ancients to have a specific effect. Medicine and food are inseparable.” Zhou Jinnan explained patiently, “The key to food is matching. What effect will ingredients with different effects have when matched together? How will they perform under different cooking methods? What kind of knife skills should be used for a dish, what kind of heat, and how long it takes to cook. All of these need to be paid attention to. Only when all the conditions reach the most appropriate point will the dish be nutritious in addition to being delicious. At the same time, it also has other functions. “

“So the most extreme chefs can never be replaced by machines. The ingredients from the previous minute and the next minute, the ingredients from the previous second and the next second taste different in the eyes of top chefs. Machines simply cannot achieve the adaptability required by chefs. Even if it is the same dish with the same ingredients and the same cooking methods, the details of the cooking will be different in the hands of top chefs. “Zhou Jinnan said, also paving the way for the upcoming trial operation of Jushanlou. Although Jushanlou is not like the private restaurant he wants to open, which is all top-notch spiritual food, it will also launch a certain proportion of spiritual food dishes as a feature to make a name for itself. Instead of explaining them one by one at that time, it is better to be lazy and explain them before it starts. This is also an important reason why Zhou Jinnan willingly agreed to let Zhou Shudi learn cooking from him. Since Jushanlou must have a signboard of spiritual food, he must not be the only one who can make spiritual food.

 “Many ingredients are both ingredients and medicinal materials. Since they can be used as medicine to make medicines with various functions, why can’t we retain the food supplement function of the ingredients in the process of making food, so that they have effects other than soothing the spirit?” Zhou Jinnan asked, “I think the lucky audience who have eaten the spiritual food I made before should have also discovered the difference between our Jushanlou and other restaurants’ food.” 

“Everyone is welcome to come and taste it during the trial operation of Jushanlou the day after tomorrow.” At the end, Zhou Jinnan remembered the main purpose of starting this live broadcast. He wanted to advertise his own restaurant that is about to open. 

[This advertisement came unexpectedly, I like it! I will definitely go to support it when I travel to the Seventh Star Region next week! ]

[I have no objection to the little brother praising his own food, but this is too much, right? In addition to soothing the spirit, there are other functions of food that can’t be found in the entire galaxy! ]

[I don’t know if it’s bragging, anyway, I think what the little chef said makes sense. ]

[Didn’t he say that the trial operation will be opened the day after tomorrow? If you have doubts, just go and try it once. ]

[You are all discussing Chef Zhou’s bragging, but didn’t you notice that the fried double crisps are ready? This dish is so particular about the cooking time, and the taste is different every minute. How could you be indifferent? ]

[I started eating it early, and it is crispy and tender. It is definitely authentic fried double crisps! I beg the chef to cook another plate! It would be even better if I could win the lottery! ]
