Chapter 311 How can watermelon be free?

"Really, it's really not spicy."

“And the taste is indeed as Zhaoyan said, it’s hard to describe.”

"Hmm, does this texture feel so crispy?"

After Park So-yeon's demonstration of testing the poison on her own body, several people at Tara also began to taste it.

Then several people also started discussing the taste and texture of hairy tripe.

This was their first time eating this kind of food, which made them very curious.

"Golden PD, what on earth is hairy belly?"

"The taste and texture are so amazing?"

"Actually, you also have hairy tripe over there, but fewer people eat it."

Huang Xu looked at the curious people, and then explained what the hairy belly was.

However, after hearing Huang Xu's explanation, several people at Tara became a little uneasy.

"That Jin PD, you said that the hairy tripe is actually the stomach of a cow?"

"Yes, tripe is the stomach of a cow."

"Why??"

"Why haven't we eaten this?"

"That's right. We often eat beef offal and have also eaten tripe. How come we haven't seen this thing before?"

"Are you lying to us?"

"It's true, the tripe is the cow's stomach, it's just the cow's first stomach."

"The first one?"

"Do cows have multiple stomachs?"

At this time, everyone in Tara heard this statement for the first time, and they all looked at Huang Xu, waiting for his explanation.

Feeling the doubts of Tara and the staff around him, Huang Xu also became confused at this time.

Don’t Koreans like to eat beef?

Why don’t they know that cows have four stomachs?

However, he did not express his doubts, but began to explain under the gaze of everyone.

"Cow is a ruminant animal. It has four stomachs in its body, and the functions of each stomach are different, and the taste is also very different. Among them."

"And the tripe you eat now is actually the first stomach of the cow."

"So there are so many stomachs in a cow?"

After listening to Huang Xu's explanation, everyone in the room also showed expressions of learning.

This was really the first time they heard that cows have four stomachs, and each stomach has different functions and tastes.

After a few more discussions, they started trying the next ingredient.

With the precedent of the hairy belly just now, everyone in Tara now has a certain understanding of the taste of hot pot, and they are no longer as scared as they were just now.

So the next few people, under the guidance of Huang Xu, tried common hot pot ingredients such as yellow throat, goose intestines, and beef and mutton slices.

In the process, different types of ingredients brought novel experiences to them, and at the same time, they felt more at ease with the cooking style of hot pot.

At this time, Huang Xu saw that everyone had relaxed their vigilance, so he called the waiter and brought out a few more dishes.

Tara and others looked at the newly delivered ingredients and became interested.

"PD Kim, what are these?"

"These are very popular local ingredients, please feel free to try them."

"Thank you Jin PD."

After hearing Huang Xu's explanation, Park Zhiyan, the youngest, did not notice anything strange about Huang Xu, and casually put a white ingredient with a texture similar to tofu into the hot pot.

"By the way, Kim PD, what is this? How long does it take to cook?"

"Well, this ingredient needs to be cooked for ten to twenty minutes. As for what it is, you will know after you taste it."

"Hey, what's your expression?"

At this time, even Park Zhiyan, who was relatively naive or slow to react, noticed something strange in Huang Xu's expression.

Then he carefully took a look at the teammates around him and the expression on Huang Xu's face, and then said something in hindsight.

"That thing just now can't be a very strange thing."

"Well, how do you say this?"

"According to the food customs here, this thing is a popular food."

"That"

"Okay Zhiyan, if you ask, he won't tell you."

Park Hyomin directly grabbed her teammate who wanted to get to the bottom of it, and then started questioning Huang Xu on his behalf.

"Jin PD, we have tried a lot of weird ingredients now, and we are already somewhat immune to them."

"So just tell us the names of these ingredients."

"We all have to try anyway, right?"

"Well, it's okay if you say that."

Huang Xu thought about it and felt that there did seem to be some problems with his previous plan.

They have already tried so many things, and they should have developed antibodies to these things, so there is no problem in telling them now.

So after getting the assurance that they would definitely try it, we started to explain these ingredients.

"What Zhiyanxi put into the pot just now was pig brains."

"Pig brain??"

Although several people had already been mentally prepared for these ingredients after seeing Huang Xu's expression.

But after knowing what it was, he still couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"Can pig brains be eaten?"

"Yeah, why do you want to eat such strange ingredients?"

"."

Several people have launched a crusade against eating pig brains.

However, at this time, Quan Baolan, the real boss and fake maknae of the team, discovered something unusual.

Then he asked, pointing to the plates of ingredients that had just been served.

"If the one just now is pig brain, then there are certain explanations for the other ingredients."

"Yeah, what are these things?"

Following Quan Baolan's words, everyone at Tara also turned their attention to the remaining ingredients.

Huang Xu also took this opportunity to introduce a few people.

"This is the waist slice of Da Dao, this is the liver of Xiaojun, and this is the ladder to heaven."

It’s just that compared to pig brains, where you can clearly tell where the ingredient is from just hearing the name, for the rest of the ingredients, you can’t tell what part it is just by hearing the name.

So after listening, several people still looked at Huang Xu with doubtful eyes, looking forward to his further answers.

And Huang Xu didn't mean to hide it this time.

After all, a large part of the content of this program is to introduce local food and various special foods, and to provide a simple science popularization to viewers who do not know about it.

So Huang Xu continued to explain to a few people.

"The big knife loin slices are pig kidneys. After removing the waist, they are cut into large pieces."

"The kidneys of Xiaojun liver chicken" "The ladder to heaven is the upper teeth of a pig."

"."

With Huang Xu's further explanation, everyone now had a certain understanding of these new ingredients.

But precisely because of this, they had already exploded.

Although they had already tasted ingredients such as hairy tripe and yellow throat, they were still a little surprised after seeing these pig brains, Tianti and Xiaojun liver.

"Why are there so many weird ingredients in hot pot?"

"Yes, the shabu-shabu is obviously delicious, so why do you need so many strange ingredients?"

"."

"This actually has something to do with the history of hot pot."

Huang Xu listened to everyone's questions and showed a prepared smile, and then began to explain.

"Hot pot is a form of cuisine that originated in the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. It was originally a cheap and affordable street food eaten at mountain city wharfs and on the streets."

"The working people at that time, due to the shortage of materials and money, could only eat some worthless sewage to replenish nutrition and oil."

"Then after a long period of development and evolution, it slowly evolved into the current hot pot."

"But although there are more supplies and more food now, there are still many people who miss the delicious food."

“So in Shancheng, the birthplace of hot pot, there are still a lot of seafood ingredients sold.”

"And."

"Okay, so that's it. It's just like the sizzling pork offal we have over there."

After listening to Huang Xu's explanation, Park So Yeon nodded in agreement, and then used South Korea's sizzling pork offal as an example.

Korean sizzling pork offal is actually a bit similar to hot pot.

It is a form of cuisine derived from the lack of supplies and the desire of the working people to eat nutritious and fat-rich foods.

So although Huang Xu wanted to argue that the taste of hot pot was much better than that of sizzling pork offal, he still nodded after thinking about it.

"Yes, the motives that first appeared are the same, and they are all created by the working people."

"But what is a little different is that the hot pot ingredients now are basically the best of the best."

"Especially for the fish, the price is now much more expensive than meat."

After understanding this, Tara's people were no longer so resistant to those who took advantage of the situation.

Of course, more importantly, the delicious taste of hot pot gave them a certain degree of confidence.

So in the following time, several people at Tara tasted the soft and glutinous pig brains, the crispy and tender tianglai, and the fresh and tender kidney slices and other off-the-shelf ingredients.

And several people unanimously praised these ingredients.

However, when several people finished tasting the hot pot and were about to end the recording, another unexpected scene occurred.

Park Ji-yeon looked at the watermelon that had just been served on the table in disbelief, and then confirmed it to Huang Xu.

"PD Jin, do you think this large plate of watermelon is given for free by the store?"

"Yes, it's delivered for free, and if you don't have enough food, you can still ask for more?"

"Huh?? How is it possible? How can a fruit like watermelon be given away for free?"

After hearing Huang Xu's words, everyone in the private room showed expressions of disbelief.

Obviously he was stimulated by this incident.

Their reactions also reminded Huang Xu of another thing.

That is watermelon, which seems to be very expensive in Korea, and not only watermelon, but many fruits are also very expensive.

After thinking of this, he made certain adjustments to some of the next shooting plans in his mind.

If they wait until they see where the fruit is so cheap, I believe there will be great program results.

Just as Huang Xu was thinking about the next shooting plan, the Seoul Olympic Center Stadium was on the other side.

Backstage at the SNSD World Tour concert.

Several people from SNSD were taking advantage of the other guests' performances to rest and change their clothes, and at the same time, they were enjoying the food prepared by Huang Xu to replenish their energy.

"Hmm~~, the eggs that Ernie brought here are delicious no matter how you eat them."

Xu Xian sipped the eggs that Huang Xu had cooked for them before leaving, with a happy smile on his face.

Quan Yuli, who was next to him, nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, although this is not the first time I have eaten this, I will still be amazed when I taste it again."

"Hmm, let's go to Sunny's apartment and learn how to make it together after a few days of rest."

"Yes, yes, after learning this, if you want to eat it in the future, you can make it yourself."

"."

As the topic opened up, Shaoshi also started discussing this matter one after another.

However, because there were other people backstage, they did not mention Huang Xu's name when they were chatting.

However, in the conversations between several people, they all had something to do with Huang Xu.

And while saying this, Lin Yoona, who was sitting next to Sunny, asked her in a low voice.

"Sunny Ernie, why didn't you see your brother-in-law come to watch the concert today?"

"He didn't say he wanted to come over and have a look, so of course you can't see it."

"But didn't Taeyeon get a VIP ticket? Didn't she say that she wanted to invite her brother-in-law to come and watch the concert?"

"He had something to do, so he didn't come."

"Huh?"

After hearing this explanation, Lin Yuner suddenly became curious.

"What's so important about my brother-in-law? You don't even have time to watch the concert?"

"You forget that he still has his own company to be busy with, and he is different from those white-collar workers who work."

At this time, Kim Taeyeon also showed regret and explained to Sunny.

At this time, Lin Yoona also remembered Huang Xu's other identity, and remembered that he was the boss of a large catering chain company.

So he stuck out his tongue and said something to sunny.

"Sorry, Unnie, I forgot that my brother-in-law is also very busy."

"It's okay."

Faced with Lin Yuner's apology, Sunny waved her hand indifferently.

At this moment, Kim Taeyeon who was next to her also approached Sunny and asked.

"Sunny, where is Huang Xu now? What are you doing now?"

"He should be in the mountain city now. As for what he is doing, he should be filming now."

Sunny recalled the photo that Huang Xu sent her just before the concert, and the subsequent arrangements, and casually told Kim Taeyeon.

After hearing this, Kim Taeyeon just nodded, then turned around and looked around. After finding that no one noticed them, she leaned into Sunny's ear and asked.

"Sunny, Huang Xu has been out for so long this time, will he be unable to bear it?"

"What if"

"Don't worry Taeyeon, he is not that kind of person."

A smile appeared on Sunny's lips, and then she said mysteriously.

"In order to prevent anything from happening, I made enough preparations in advance."
