Chapter 203 Chestnut Roast Chicken
When the four of Liu Wangxue and three of them arrived at Tao Huayu's house, the food was already on the table.
When Tao Huayu was on the road, he sent a message to his sister, saying that the director was invited.
Tao's father and Tao's mother didn't have much hope at first, but when they heard that they were invited, they immediately beamed. I even went back to my room to change my clothes, as I was afraid that cooking would be stained by oil fumes and it would be impolite to receive the director.
What the old couple was thinking was: "The great director comes to our house for dinner. This is such a face-saving thing. From now on, when we go out and say a few words, our faces will be particularly bright."
Although they had never heard of "Jing Yujun" before, Gu Xuelan introduced it to them during dinner on the day Liu Wangxue and others came back from Haishi.
After hearing this, the old couple realized that several of the TV series they had watched before were made by this director.
Yesterday Liu Wangxue invited Jing Yujun to dinner and called Tao Huayu to accompany him. When the boy came back, he bought so many chestnuts that his brother-in-law Qiu Xiangrong knew what he meant without him having to ask.
When Qiu Xiangrong walked to the kitchen with the big bag, he said: "Okay, let's make a chestnut dinner tomorrow."
Tao Huayu immediately became very happy and praised his brother-in-law The words kept popping out like they didn’t need money.
Today, while Tao's father and Tao's mother were peeling chestnuts, they called Liu Wangxue, mother and daughter, and Xu Qingsong over for dinner in the evening, and then suddenly had the idea to ask Tao Huayu to invite the director.
After the old couple finished speaking, they denied themselves: "He is a great director. We ordinary people in the countryside should not be able to hire him, right?"
Qiu Xiangrong is a simple-minded person. What did he say: "I'm just inviting people to have a meal. What's there to worry about? Let Hua Yu ask. If people want to come, they can come. If they don't want to, don't come."
I didn't expect it. The director actually came.
As soon as Jing Yujun arrived, he received the highest courtesy from Tao's father and Tao's mother. After everyone washed their hands, he directly invited people to sit down.
Jing Yujun thought to himself: "I don't have such a big face, I'm just here to get a meal."
A few people on the side looked at the three of them with a smile as they declined, and Tao Huayu beeped in a low voice. : "Look at this, it's like a business banquet."
Tao Huaxin pinched him and rolled his eyes cryptically.
In the end, Jing Yujun sat in the second seat next to Tao's father, and kept saying "uncle and aunt", which made Tao's father and Tao's mother happy. He felt that his vanity was greatly satisfied.
Jing Yujun's appearance made Tao's father and Tao's mother feel that he was very approachable, just like Boss Du Yunkai and Du, he had no airs.
Judging from his appearance, he should be about the same age as these children. Tao's mother couldn't help but ask questions similar to "household registration check".
This is not considered private. You can find it by just searching on the Internet. Jing Yujun put himself in the position of a junior and answered every question.
Tao's father took the chopsticks and interrupted Tao's mother: "Oh, stop asking, why are you asking these questions? The children are hungry, so I asked them to eat quickly, and the food will be cold soon."
< br>"Ah, yes, yes, first Let's eat first." Tao's mother also picked up the chopsticks and asked Jing Yujun to eat more. "It's all farm food. Do you like it?"
Tonight's main course is chestnut roasted chicken and chestnuts. Braised pork is stewed in a casserole.
In the morning, Qiu Xiangrong went to the morning market and happened to meet someone selling three-yellow chickens, so he bought two or three alive and killed one of them for cooking. Peel the chestnuts and fry them first, clean the chicken, chop it into small pieces and marinate it, mix it with onions and ginger and fry it until cooked.
Then stir-fry the two together, then top with the pre-fried sauce, add an appropriate amount of oyster sauce, dark soy sauce and rice wine, pour boiling water to cover the chicken, and sprinkle some pepper, simmer over low heat for half an hour.
Pour some oil into the casserole and fry some vegetables. Pour a spoonful of scallion oil over the braised chestnut roast chicken next to it, stir-fry and pour it in directly. The soup is thick and red in color, and the soup is piled up to the top.
When it was first taken out of the pot, the compound aroma of sauce went straight into the nose. Now that it has been sitting there for a while, the aroma and color still make people move their index fingers.
The chestnut braised pork is also stewed in a casserole, with a layer of fried white sesame seeds sprinkled on top.
The chestnuts are sweet and glutinous, the chicken is tender and chewy, the fat of the pork belly melts in your mouth, and it is thin, sweet and soft. The rice is coated in soup and cannot be retained in the mouth at all. It slides into the stomach after chewing twice.
Several other vegetarian dishes are grown by Tao Ma herself. Simply stir-fried, it seems to be a special snack on the dinner table. With two chopsticks, you can eat half a bowl of meat.
Jing Yujun thought to himself: "As expected of a good brother, Du Yunkaicheng will not deceive me!"
Tao's father and Tao's mother were eating their food and carefully observed Jing Yujun's expression. He was extremely satisfied with the meal and felt proud in his heart.
Dad Tao filled Jing Yujun's cup with juice, and the wrinkles on his face deepened as he smiled: "Director Jing, how is it, is the food acceptable?"
Jing Yujun quickly put down the bowl and held the cup. He thanked him, looked at Qiu Xiangrong and said, "I've heard from Du Yunkai a long time ago that my brother-in-law's craftsmanship is outstanding. I'm shameless enough to come here today. Sure enough, compared to you, the chefs outside are really inferior!"
From this, everyone who had been quiet for a while and just focused on eating started talking.
Jing Yujun couldn’t help but remember that there was a slow variety show about life before, and he was invited to be a guest as a friend of the main MC.
He and the main MC are not close friends, they are just familiar with each other.
The filming location for that variety show was in a paradise-like place, and the scenery was very beautiful. At that time, he received a script for a costume drama and thought to see if he could film the scene there, so he went.
This kind of variety show usually involves experiencing farm work, and then eating, drinking and chatting together. The main MC is also the chef in this variety show. He takes charge of three meals a day, while others take care of him.
Before going there, Jing Yujun watched a few episodes to get a better understanding. At every meal, especially the big dinner in the evening, people around him praised the main MC’s cooking skills.
Jing Yujun is quite looking forward to it - like his master, he likes to eat delicious food. Every time he goes to a filming location, they must search for local delicacies.
That night, with chopsticks and a bowl in hand, Jing Yujun couldn't eat any more after just two bites of the food, so he only cooked rice the whole time.
He finally understood why in this variety show, when it’s time to eat, everyone rushes to praise the MC - if you can’t eat, don’t talk too much!
The rainbow farts blew one after another, and there was no lack of food on the table. When everyone was "full" and the people dispersed, there was still more than half of the dishes left.
Jing Yujun thinks, no wonder he talks so much and only opens his mouth. If the food is really delicious, who would have the time to keep talking?
It’s just because it’s not delicious that you keep talking and praising it. Otherwise, what are you doing, staring at the bowl in a daze?
Afterwards, Jing Yujun was invited to a similar variety show, but he refused without thinking - he liked directing, not acting.
