Chapter 30
Because of the different routes, Shi Xi returned the fishing tools and separated from Bai Man.
She handed the small bucket of fish and shrimp to the staff and asked them to send it back to the kitchen for the chef to handle, which would save time.
Shi Xi picked some mulberries and then went to the chicken farm.
When they arrived at the chicken farm, the sunset had turned into a charming pink and purple, and lights were lit near the chicken farm.
The aunt in charge of the chicken farm saw Shi Xi coming and asked with a smile: “Little girl, are you here to catch chickens?”
Shi Xi smiled and nodded.
“As long as you can catch a chicken, your chef partner can get a fresh free-range chicken. A young man just went in, and I don’t know if he caught it.” The farm aunt handed Shi Xi a pair of gloves, and led her inside while shouting: “Young man, did you catch the chicken?”
When Shi Xi entered the shed, Jiang Xingmian just came out with a chicken in his arms. He was wearing gloves, and there were chicken feathers on his hair. The chicken fluttered wildly in his arms, and kept “clucking” with its sharp mouth open.
Jiang Xingmian looked helpless. He held the chicken in his arms and said hello to Shi Xi: “Teacher Xiaoshi, do you want to catch a chicken too?”
The scene was so funny. Shi Xi smiled and nodded: “As long as you catch it, you can exchange it for processed chicken. You don’t have to hold it all the time.”
Jiang Xingmian nodded and looked at the farm aunt: “Auntie, I let it go.”
The farm aunt nodded repeatedly and handed him a badge with a picture of a chick: “Put it down, put it down, take this back and give it to your chef partner.”
Jiang Xingmian breathed a sigh of relief. He bent down and carefully let go of his hand.
The chicken was frightened for too long, so it spread its wings and flew, rushing towards Shi Xi in panic.
Jiang Xingmian was startled: “Teacher Xiaoshi, be careful!”
Shi Xi raised her hand calmly and caught the flying chicken. The chicken that frantically fluttered in Jiang Xingmian’s arms was unusually quiet in her hands, not daring to move.
Shi Xi curled the corners of her lips and uttered three words: “Scallion Chicken.”
The chicken tilted its head, kicked its feet, and pretended to be dead on the spot.
Jiang Xingmian: “…” Chicken, you didn’t treat me like this just now.
【Chicken, danger! Run away! 】
【White-cut chicken, abalone chicken stew, ginger and spring onion chicken, soy sauce chicken, salt-baked shredded chicken… slurp!】
【You scared the chicken so much that it pretended to be dead, hahahaha, you are worthy of it. 】
【Didn’t they say that spirits are not allowed after the founding of the People’s Republic of China? How can you understand human words, little chicken?】
【Have the fish and shrimp in the fish pond also become spirits?】
【It’s Xiao Shi who is amazing… Anyway, the farm is going to be popular. 】
Shi Xi put down the poor chicken, and the farm aunt gave her a thumbs up: “Little girl, this technique is amazing, you are an expert.”
Shi Xi was amused by the aunt, and took the chicken badge from the aunt and pinned it on her clothes: “Thank you for your recognition, aunt.”
“Teacher Xiao Shi is amazing, I still need to find some eggs…” Jiang Xingmian looked at the cage in the distance and found that the chicks that were still walking around just now were all going into the cage!
The farm aunt said in surprise: “It’s so abnormal today. It’s not time to go back to the cage yet, why are they all back? Even the naughty ones are back obediently.”
“Maybe they are tired and want to rest early.” Shi Xi smiled innocently.
The farm aunt also smiled: “Although I don’t know what the reason is, it saves me trouble. I don’t have to catch those naughty chicks today.”
There are also some eggs on the ground. After Shi Xi and Jiang Xingmian picked up the eggs, they waved goodbye to the farm aunt and went to the vegetable garden together.
The sun sets, the picturesque sunset fades, and the sky turns dark blue.
After getting off the sightseeing bus, Guan Xing runs to the chicken farm, only to find the door locked.
He pushes the door and shouts, “Is anyone there? I want to catch chickens!”
The farm aunt hears the noise and comes out of the cabin next door, holding a cup of chrysanthemum tea in her hand: “Young man, the chicken farm has already closed down. Go to the duck farm next door. There’s still half an hour before it closes.”
“You must be kidding,” Guan Xing is a little upset: “We are recording a show. I haven’t caught any chickens yet. How can you close down?”
The farm aunt points to the sign next to her – time to get off work: seven o’clock.
The farm aunt calmly drank a sip of chrysanthemum tea: “Young man, I always go to get off work and leave on time. Your time is a bit unfortunate. I just got off work not long ago.”
Guan Xing was holding back his anger and said in a very aggressive tone: “Aren’t you out now? Open the door for me, I must catch the chicken!”
The farm aunt was determined: “This is not the first time I have encountered such a situation. I always follow the rules.”
Guan Xing was relentless and insisted that the farm aunt open the door for him.
The farm aunt said helplessly: “Young man, since you come to the farm to play, you must abide by the rules. It’s useless for you to continue to entangle with me. The duck farm will also be closed later.”
Guan Xing gritted his teeth in anger, but he could only leave.
【Guan Xing, you are such a big loser.】
【I am a little curious whether he caught any fish in the fish pond after spending so much time. 】
【If he didn’t catch any fish and no chicken, then his main dish would be ruined. 】
【Ah, what he said is now returned to him. I think you should give up. 】
【Guanxing is a bit of a sore loser, and he’s also making things difficult for the staff. It’s really disappointing.】
【Guan Guan is just too anxious. He is showing everyone his true side! 】
【Excuse me, the real him is really unpleasant. 】
The camera in the live broadcast room returned to Shi Xi. She had picked lettuce and some onions, ginger and garlic for seasoning according to the order of the ingredients list. She also picked some vegetables and a bunch of grapes according to her own preferences. She also held a bunch of roses given by the farm girl.
She now entered the greenhouse and prepared to pick tomatoes.
This is the project that Zhang Qingyu is most looking forward to. He chose a tomato sapling with fruits and was eager to try: “Junior sister, you put the bamboo basket under this sapling, and I will pick it, okay?”
Shi Xi handed over the bamboo basket, and the ripe tomatoes on the sapling fell all together and fell into the bamboo basket. Zhang Qingyu: “So fun!”
The photographer who followed this scene: “???” Is this also acting?
Shi Xi looked at the camera calmly: “I performed a magic trick for everyone, do you like it?”
The camera nodded, but the cameraman was screaming in his mind: Is this magic? Is this witchcraft?
On the way back, Shi Xi saw a melon field, and called the driver to stop, got off the car and picked a big watermelon.
When Shi Xi came back with the melon, the driver smiled and said: “The little girl is quite good at picking melons, this melon is guaranteed to be sweet!”
Shi Xi also smiled: “I just picked the best-looking one.”
When Shi Xi returned to the B&B, several Cameramans who were squatting in the B&B turned their cameras to her.
Shi Xi was holding a big watermelon in her hand, and her backpack was full of vegetables and fruits, and a bunch of plump and bright roses. Her clothes were clean and her smile was clean.
Several amateur guests who were sitting by the pond to enjoy the cool air all exclaimed “Wow” at the same time. Two of the guests’ ears turned red. They all wanted to help but didn’t dare.
Bai Man heard that Teacher Xiaoshi had returned. She poked her head out of the kitchen and also exclaimed “Wow”. She went to help her hold the watermelon: “Teacher Xiaoshi, you actually picked such a big watermelon! I didn’t even notice that there was a watermelon field on the road.”
Shi Xi took off the backpack: “I also picked grapes. Let’s eat them together when the meal is ready.”
“Teacher Xiaoshi, you are so careful. You even prepared the fruits after the meal. Then let me wash and cut the fruits. I know how to make a fruit bowl.” Bai Man glanced at the time: “Time is running out. Come on, Teacher Xiaoshi!”
Shi Xi nodded, handed the chicken badge to the staff, and exchanged it for the processed fresh chicken.
Chef Liu came over to help her move the fruits and vegetables to their cooking table: “Wow, all the ingredients are gathered, and there are more, including fruits and flowers. The girl is amazing.”
“The flowers were sent by others,” Shi Xi washed her hands: “Do you need help?”
Chef Liu arranged an easy job for her: “Help wash the vegetables, and then you can prepare the dishes you want to cook. I have processed the fish and shrimp you sent back. The shrimps you picked are so big and fresh, and they must taste very good.”
Shi Xi: “I am hungry again.”
Chef Liu laughed loudly: “Of course you will be hungry after being busy for so long. Hang in there, and you will have a big meal later.”
【I am hungry too, and finally entered the anticipated cooking session!】
【I have finished my meal, hahaha, but I can still eat an hour-long meal online.】
【Will the program team do something wrong? Why don’t they give Guan Xing more shots? He is the most popular guest. Do you understand? I want to see Guan Xing! 】
【I also suggest that the program team give Guan Xing more shots, especially when he is unlucky, and it would be best if there are eight cameras. 】
At this time, Jiang Xingmian also came back. He apologized to his partner, Chef Chen, and said, “I got lost in the orchard when I was looking for avocados, which delayed me a little.”
“It’s not easy to find, but it’s good to pick avocados,” Chef Chen is a gentle and quiet female chef. She expressed her understanding and asked, “Where are the shrimps?”
When Chef Liu received the shrimps, she was so envious. She waited and waited but never got the shrimps that Jiang Xingmian asked someone to send back.
Jiang Xingmian took out the list of ingredients and patted his head in annoyance: “I forgot.”
Chef Chen comforted him: “It’s okay, then we will change the menu and make open avocado toast.”
Jiang Xingmian: “Do we have toast?”
Chef Chen: “Let’s use it to squeeze juice.”
Jiang Xingmian: “Good idea.”
“…”
Shi Xi heard their conversation and applauded: “You are a team with a great mentality.”
Jiang Xingmian and Chef Chen both laughed.
Jiang Xingmian said lightly: “Happiness is the most important thing.”
Chef Chen nodded in agreement: “You two kids have personalities that match mine very well. You can come to my restaurant for dinner when you are free. I’ll treat you.”
Bai Man turned around and asked, “Chef Chen, is there any portion for me?”
Chef Chen’s smile deepened: “It must be!”
Guan Xing came back when the fragrance wafted from the kitchen. His body and face were dirty, and his shoes and trouser legs were covered with mud. He looked very disheveled.
Most of his makeup had come off, his carefully groomed hair had fallen flat, and his gloomy face greatly reduced his appearance.
He came to the kitchen carrying a basket of vegetables, which scared his partner, Chef He.
Chef He asked him, “Are you okay?”
Guan Xing turned a deaf ear to Chef He’s concern and handed him the basket with a sour face: “The vegetables you asked for.”
The chef took the basket and took out a handful of garlic sprouts with mud from it: “We don’t seem to need garlic sprouts. Are you going to use them yourself?”
Guan Xing frowned: “Isn’t this onion?”
“This is garlic sprouts. Well, it does look a bit like green onions, so it’s understandable that you made a mistake. The dish wouldn’t be perfect without green onions, but we can only accept this imperfection.” Chef He took out two more A root of aloe vera, his eyes became more puzzled: “Is this what you want to use?”
Guan Xing took out the wrinkled list of ingredients, pointed at two scribbled words, and said impatiently: “Look carefully, this is the aloe vera you asked for.”
Chef He was silent for a moment: “Actually, the two words are ‘asparagus’.”
Guan Xing asked: “How did you write? I even fell down trying to find these two pieces of aloe vera!”
Chef He said innocently: “You kept rushing me, and I would write very sloppily when I was anxious.”
Having fallen into the pit he had dug, Guan Xing could only feel helpless and furious, crumpling the ingredient list until it made a crackling sound.
The assistant outside the camera kept giving him glances, asking him to pay attention to his character in front of the camera, but the light was too dim and Guan Xing didn’t see it at all.
After checking all the vegetables in the basket, Chef He took a deep breath and said, “Only the lemon is found correctly.”
“The side dishes aren’t important anyway,” Guan Xing raised his chin, his eyes becoming more confident, “The fish I caught should have been delivered to you.”
In the live broadcast room, Guan Xing’s fans were excited:
【Guan Guan caught a fish! Why didn’t the production crew give footage of such a highlight moment? Do they want to mislead the audience? 】
【Guan Guan is so persistent. I’m so touched. 】
【Side dishes are not important. It’s awesome that Guan Guan caught the fish by himself! 】
“I received it, but…” Chef He picked up a small bucket and looked at the two tiny fish swimming in it, feeling a little embarrassed: “But they are too small. I suggest sending them back to the fish pond. Let’s raise it again.”
Guan Xing’s confident look disappeared.
Chef He asked cautiously, “Where’s the chicken?”
“The chicken farm is off work.”
Chef He: “Where’s the beef?”
Guan Xing turned his eyes away: “I’m afraid the cow will hit me.”
Chef He’s eyes went dark: “It seems that we have to change our entire menu.”
【This is a doomed combination.】
【This is a lemon only combination. 】
【I really don’t understand why he, a bronze player, could be so confident that he could make two kings give up early. 】
【When I saw his expression, I thought he had caught a big grouper. These two little fish are really funny, hahaha. I need to raise them for at least another half a year. 】
【I feel embarrassed for the fans who just praised Guan Xing. The production team didn’t give your brother any shots because they wanted to save him some face. You should thank the production team. 】
【Guan Xing lacks common sense, the chef is too miserable, and a good cook cannot cook without rice. 】
Smelling the aroma coming from the kitchen, Guan Xing’s stomach growled and he said to Chef He, “Hurry up and start cooking. A truly great chef can make a feast out of anything. Do you understand creative cooking?”
Chef He looked at the vegetables in the basket and pulled the corner of his mouth bitterly. What can he do?
Stir-fried aloe vera with garlic sprouts? Lemon Garlic Aloe Vera Tea? That’s really creative… Chef He walked into the kitchen with a sad face.
On the other side, Chef Liu, with a smile on his face, placed the shrimp with garlic-flavored vermicelli and seasonings into the steamer. He glanced at the two neighboring groups and whispered to Shixi, “Why don’t you take the lead from here?”
The other two teams followed a format where the guests took the lead while the chefs provided guidance. Jiang Xingmian, who had little cooking experience, found herself a bit flustered, while Bai Man, whose family owned a restaurant, was in her element. Both sides were interesting to watch, and they firmly captured the attention of the livestream audience.
Looking at Shi Xi again, after washing the vegetables, she helped Chef Liu. She didn’t pay any attention to the camera at all. Chef Liu was worried about her.
Shi Xi knew his good intentions, but her purpose was clear: “These four dishes are your home court, please show off your cooking skills. For me, the camera is not important, the taste is the most important.”
Chef Liu realized: “Is this the cultivation of a foodie?”
Zhang Qingyu, who was watching from the side, nodded vigorously. Although he couldn’t eat it, he still enjoyed watching the chef cook!
After a while, the program team finally noticed the two “idlers” in the kitchen.
The camera in the live broadcast room was first focused on Guan Xing. He stared at Chef He who was processing aloe vera with a serious expression: “How do you eat this?”
Chef He: “Which one do you choose, stir-fry, juice or aloe vera pasta?”
Looking at the green and sticky aloe vera, Guan Xing’s face turned green: “Where is my high-end Western food?”
Chef He glanced at the basket and pondered for a moment: “Minimal cuisine is truly high-end.”
Guan Xing: “…”
The camera turned to Shi Xi. She put the cut watermelon into the juicer and slowly squeezed a pot of watermelon juice. She sealed it and put it in the refrigerator. Then she walked leisurely to Chef Liu and asked, “Do you need any help? ?”
Chef Liu poured the secret soy sauce water on the steamed fat fish covered with chopped green onions. A tender and fresh steamed fish was ready. The air was filled with the sweet aroma of fish and chopped green onions.
Chef Liu nodded with satisfaction: “Just help applaud.”
Shi Xi immediately applauded him, then put on heat-proof gloves and brought the steamed fish to the table.
【A world where only Guanxing is injured has been achieved.】
【As I said, there is no harm without comparison. 】
【The atmosphere of that group when I was a child made me feel like I was in my own kitchen. When my parents were cooking, I would hang around asking for work to do and then shout 666. 】
【Look at this fish, the fish skin is slightly cracked, the fish meat is white and attractive, and the taste must be smooth and tender. This is the simplest way of cooking, and you can learn it at home. Guan Xing’s group is probably a minimalist…dark dish, right? 】
The camera returned to Guan Xing again, just in time to capture him peeking at the steamed fish, his eyes almost glued to the fish.
After noticing the camera, he quickly looked away.
