Food starts from cooking

Chapter 152 Going south again, the God of Cooking on the set reappears (please subscribe!)

Everyone else left early, so Fang Yuan stayed until the Lantern Festival. It wasn't that he had to eat Zhou You's cooking, but he was urging Zhou You to go to Lin'an early every day!

Because of the second part, the original crew did not take other jobs, and they were all preparing to open the pit of "Legend of the White Snake". The reason why Fang Yuan was in such a hurry was because it took too long, and there might be someone from the original crew. Can't help but take other tasks.

Traveling around was also very helpless about this, so he could only go south with Fangyuan after the Lantern Festival.

But because of this, an idea came to his mind!
Why can't they build a film and television studio in Long City and let them come to Long City to film if they have to go south to film?
"Long City?"

Hearing Zhou You's words, Fang Yuan had a strange expression on his face. He is really so lazy. In order not to leave Long City, he even wanted to build a film and television city in Long City?

You must know that a film and television city is not a small investment, which can cost hundreds of millions, and even if it is an investment of hundreds of millions, it is only a preliminary budget, because a complete film and television city must have many scenic spots.

Even if it's just an assist in a costume drama, there must be a large number of halls.

Even so, the vast majority of film and television bases do not actually make money.

What exactly is there in Long City really makes Zhou You not want to leave, she was planning to persuade Zhou You to settle in Lin'an or Huating at the beginning, but now it seems that it is an extravagant hope.

With the idea of ​​building a film and television base in Longshi, it was out of control. When he went south to Lin'an, Zhou You took out his computer and started drawing pictures.

Fang Yuan was resting at first, but he didn't care when he saw that Zhou You seemed to be drawing a picture. He lowered his head and started sending messages to the crew to prepare.

Time is running out, the reason why Zhou You is so urged is because everyone is waiting, and also because the second part of "Legend of the White Snake" will be broadcast as soon as possible.

You know, the sooner the second part is aired, the better the effect will be. After all, people are so forgetful now, if you wait until everyone's enthusiasm for "Legend of the White Snake" recedes, and then release the second part, it will be really cold.

"Ah, it's finally time to start, if I don't come, I'm going to starve to death!"

"Yeah, yeah, the company is urging me to die, but I've prevaricated everything!"

"The main reason is that our "Legend of the White Snake" is too famous, and the boss didn't rush us when he said there was a second one!"

Most of them can still afford it. It's not so easy to come across popular models, and even many actors and even practitioners may never meet them in their lifetime, but once they do, naturally they have to hold on tightly!

Fang Yuan notified them one by one, asking everyone to wait at the hotel as soon as possible, and after Zhou You arrived, they would hold a small meeting and start shooting.

After the notification, Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then, when he turned his head, his expression froze for a moment.

If I remember correctly, Zhou You's computer page was white before notifying everyone.

But now, it turned into a painting.

It was a dark background, with dead vines and old trees everywhere, densely covered with thorns, and there were even crows on the tall trees in the distance, and at the focal point of light and shadow, there was a mottled stone tablet. On the stone tablet, there were three large characters: Lan Ruo Temple!
And Zhou You was revising the painting at this time.

hiss!
Is this drawn by Zhou You?

Doubts arose, but Zhou You was indeed changing this painting, and soon, he began to paint the second one.

This is not an environment map, but a character!

It was a picture-in-picture. In the picture, a man and a woman were holding the same pen. The woman was dressed in fluttering white, and the man was dressed as a scholar. The two had their heads down, so they couldn't see their faces clearly.

And in the painting within the painting, there is also a young woman in fluttering white clothes, but the woman has no facial features, and beside the scroll, there is a poem mentioned.

Ten miles of Pinghu is full of frost, and every inch of blue silk is worried about the new year.

Looking at the moon and protecting each other, I only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals!
Fangyuan's eyes lit up instantly.

The song "The Moon is Full on the West Tower" can be said to have conquered everyone, especially women. She really didn't understand how Zhou You wrote such beautiful words, and women are inherently emotional. I have to say, even without the blessing of halo "Zouyou" is also eye-catching, with a halo, it is even more dazzling, just like lilac, I really love this poem.

And this poem!

Tsk tsk, it can only be said that Zhou You is worthy, she has already seen that Zhou You may be drawing a manuscript, and she has a premonition that this should be the play that was given to Bai Jie back then.

"Ghost Story"

She just watched Zhou You's paintings so carefully, and Zhou You had been drawing character designs, set drawings and the like.

Fang Yuan was completely numb until he got off the plane.

Is this the boss?
No, this is a giant.

The terrifying painting ability is simply breathtaking.

Writing lyrics, composing music, creating scripts, and now even drawing is so good, what else is there to do this week's tour.

After arriving in Lin'an, the two went straight to the hotel. Zhou You had already written the notebook, so as long as the preparatory work was done, they could start shooting directly.

In addition, the new book was also given to Wang Li. Her difficulty was actually not that great. After all, although Xu Shilin was Xu Xian's son, there was no big difference except that he should be more lively.

The most important point is Hu Meiniang played by Fang Yuan. This is not a very likable character. After all, although she has a face of Bai Suzhen, when she first came into contact with Xu Shilin, she had a purpose. One point of death!

"Li Bilian, Qi Baoshan, Caiyin, Dharma King, etc., according to what you said before, I have already chosen!"

"You are really impatient!"

So, there is nothing to prepare for.

the next day!
The second part of "Legend of the White Snake" is officially launched.

Still director Shen Bo, there are naturally new faces in the crew.

The first clip shot was the scene where Xu Shilin and Hu Meiniang met.

Hu Meiniang first deceived Xu Shilin with her fake identity Hu Zixuan, and then the two officially met.

At this time, Fang Yuan's appearance is different from Bai Suzhen's before, with more lively elements on her body, and her headdress and bun have become younger, like a girl next door.

When Xu Shilin saw Hu Meiniang, he was obviously shocked by Hu Meiniang's beauty, and secretly fell in love with her. It's really you who have a crush on your old lady.

In front of the camera, the two had already started performing, and Zhou You watched from the sidelines, frowning for a long time.

Still haven't found the rhythm point, the imprint of Bai Suzhen on Fangyuan's body is so deep that when entering the role, Bai Suzhen's shadow can't help but appear.

You know, from the emphasis of speech and behavior, the difference between Bai Suzhen and Hu Meiniang is quite big, especially in the subtleties.

This is the difference between a young woman and a girl. This difference has nothing to do with appearance, but mainly in temperament and habits!
In addition, Wang Li's Xu Shilin also looks a bit awkward, a bit too old.

"How about it?"

Before Zhou You could stop, Fang Yuan and the others stopped by themselves, and came to ask Zhou You.

And those new faces watching from the sidelines, seeing Zhou You, started whispering.

"Is this the preacher?"

"probably!"

"Hey, he's so handsome!"

"You're so young? I heard that the shooter of "Legend of the White Snake" was a preacher, but now it seems that it is true!"

Although the weight of the director of the TV series is not that great, and the rights of the screenwriter are not small, but...

No matter how powerful the screenwriter is, he still can't beat the director. Unexpectedly, "Legend of the White Snake" is an exception.

Shen Bo got used to it a long time ago, and went to the side to take a sip of water. Anyway, he is famous. The better "Legend of the White Snake", the more benefits he will get.

Moreover, "Legend of the White Snake" is now a hot potato, and the second part is even hotter. He continues to serve as director, and he feels a lot of pressure. After all, if the second part fails, he will be scolded to death!
"Girl, girly feeling, you know, you probably haven't come out in the role of Bai Suzhen. At the end of the last film, Bai Suzhen has already turned towards Zhengdan. You were originally an opera singer. Can't you find the feeling of Huadan?"

"There's also you, can't you act like a boy? Just be a little more active than Xu Xian, just be a little more frivolous!"

To put it bluntly, this drama can't be too serious.

Zhou You talked a lot, Fang Yuan, Wang Li and the others listened quietly, but were surprised by the new faces.

"Hey, this is the power of the preacher!"

"Yeah, how big are Sister Fang and Sister Li now? When it comes to other people's crews, even the directors have to explain in a soft voice. I didn't expect him..."

"But I like it!"

"Yes, Sister Fang and Sister Li can only bear it!"

After shooting several times in a row, the two finally found a feeling.

Seeing that it was almost afternoon, Zhou You started his old business.

Buy food and cook!
The people in the crew looked at Zhou You eagerly, after all...

They have no interest in Zhou You telling games, what they are really interested in is Zhou You's craftsmanship.

Seeing that the shooting site started to set up a pot, everyone was overjoyed and hurried to help. At the same time, the executive side sent people to Zhou You to help with grocery shopping.

For a big pot of rice, Zhou You chose four home-cooked dishes!

Dry pot cauliflower, thousand sheets of tofu, green pepper fried pork, braised pork ribs!
Pigs are full of treasures, and almost all parts can be eaten. However, if you want to say what is the most delicious, it is likely that the ribs have not escaped. After all, when the meat price was expensive earlier, the expensive ribs cost more than 50 yuan per catty. money.

And ribs are expensive for a reason.

It is rich in protein, collagen, etc. It is very suitable for the elderly and children to eat.

Moreover, the pork ribs are soft and tender, fat but not greasy, and the taste is delicious, which makes people love it.

Braised pork ribs is a simple home-cooked dish. It is not difficult to make, but it is not so easy to make it delicious. After all, many people will cook the ribs without paying attention. The pork ribs made by many people are not tasty, they taste dry, and even the fishy smell of the meat itself cannot be removed.

And good braised pork ribs, at least in appearance, should be red and bright, and they should taste soft, glutinous and sweet.

The ingredients were ready, Zhou You chopped the ribs into small pieces one by one, put them in clear water, added a little salt and cooking wine, stirred and soaked.

This step is to simply remove the blood and have initially removed the fishy smell.

Therefore, it is generally necessary to wait until the ribs turn white before taking them out. The time required is about four to five 10 minutes. During this period, Zhou You has already cut other materials, such as scallions and ginger slices. Cauliflower in a dry pot, thousands of sheets of tofu, and stir-fried pork with green peppers.

Take out the spare ribs and drain them, then put them in a bowl, add appropriate amount of salt, light soy sauce, oil consumption, white pepper, etc., then throw in the sliced ​​scallions and ginger slices, and quickly marinate them with your hands Almost 10 minutes.

At this time, you can start the pot and heat the oil.

When the oil is [-]% thick, pour in the marinated pork ribs, first fry for a few minutes on low heat, and fry the pork ribs on both sides until the color is golden, then pour a little cooking wine along the side of the pot, and set aside!
At this time, Zhou You has surrounded many people, most of them are insiders of the crew. After all, it has been more than two months since the last time I ate Zhou You's food.

That meal was unforgettable. Later, many people went to many restaurants, looking for the taste of traveling, but unfortunately they couldn't find it, and even made people feel in a trance, thinking that the delicious food was not an illusion.

But now... the familiar smell came again.

"Ah, it smells so good. They also make ribs. Why do their ribs taste so delicious!"

"Nonsense, there are also directors, screenwriters, and actors. Some people make a piece of shit, and some people make a record!"

"Ha, your analogy is not bad!"

"It's amazing, it's amazing, with this skill, if I open a restaurant, even if the price is higher than other restaurants, I have to eat every day!"

“Braised pork ribs, my favorite!”

Slowly, there are more and more people.

Although there are quite a few familiar faces, but... more are unfamiliar faces. After all, the film and television base is where the most frequent visitors are not those well-known stars, but group performers.

Many of the ensemble performers in the first part of "Legend of the White Snake" have already recognized the reality and left the sad place of film and television city.

but……

Some people are still chasing their dreams.

and……

What's even more surprising is that he went to the crew of "Legend of the White Snake" again.

"Hey, it's really him!"

"what?"

""The Legend of the White Snake", this brother Zhou's craftsmanship is amazing, let me tell you, last time..."

The group performer named Hao Chi looked excited!
As a man who has been playing tricks for three years, Hao Chi is considered an old man in the Lin'an film and television base. In the past three years, he has eaten a lot of boxed meals, and even hired a chef on the set.

but……

Only the food of the crew of "Legend of the White Snake" is delicious!

"I'll go, true or false!"

Those group performers also gathered around.

At this time, Zhou You had already cleaned the pot, then threw a handful of rock sugar into it, and started to boil it over low heat. The rock sugar slowly melted and turned brown-red.

Do not fry the sugar color too much. Once it smokes, it basically means failure. The consequence is that it will turn black and bitter, and the ribs will be scrapped.

After frying the sugar color, pour the previously fried ribs into the pot and stir fry quickly. The golden ribs are wrapped in red sugar color and become bright red.

At the same time, it also gives the ribs a sense of hierarchy.

The taste of the outermost layer is actually not sugary sweetness, but the flavor of pepper, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves and other spices that will be added next.

Put these spices in, then pour some boiling water, add light soy sauce, chicken essence, start cooking on high heat, wait until the water boils, turn to low heat and simmer for three to 10 minutes!

When it's almost done, continue to turn on the fire to collect the juice. When the soup is thick, you can serve it out, and then sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions as a decoration. The beautiful and delicious braised pork ribs are ready.

There are a few points to focus on here.

First, it is best not to blanch the ribs. Although blanching can remove the fishy smell, the quality of the meat will change after blanching, especially affecting the taste, so it is best to choose soaking and marinating, so as to keep the meat fresh and tender. It also retains nutritional value.

The second is to fry the ribs. The reason why I choose to fry the ribs is to refine the excess fat, and it tastes more delicious, and eliminates you.

Third, when frying the sugar color, you must use a small fire. If the fire is high, once the sugar color smokes, it will quickly turn black and the taste will become bitter, which will cause the braised pork ribs to turn black and red. Unable to speak.

Fourth, when stewing, you must use boiling water, otherwise the hot meat will shrink rapidly when it encounters cold water, resulting in the ribs not being stewed.

The ribs are out of the pot, and the bright red color makes the mouth water, and I can't wait to rush up to snatch it.

After all, just looking at it is mouth-watering, but if you take a bite, you will not be able to go to heaven.

"The color is amazing. I used to make braised pork ribs, but they were always black!"

"Haha, me too, and I don't know why I can't chew my braised pork ribs. I saw that the braised pork ribs made by others can be directly removed from the bone, and there is no need to chew at all!"

"I saw it too, it's so delicious!"

The braised pork ribs are ready, and Zhou You chooses another dish!

Dry pot cauliflower!

Cauliflower, also known as cauliflower, looks similar to broccoli, has good nutritional value, and has a crisp, tender and delicious taste. If it is the best, it will go well with rice.

Of course, there are many ways to eat cauliflower. Some people eat it just like broccoli, while others add some soy sauce.

This is the same as cabbage, with a bit of sweetness, and the cooking methods of the two dishes are similar.

Zhou You's cauliflower in a dry pot is no longer a simple vegetarian dish.

Because pork belly is used in it.

There are also ways to choose cauliflower. The most important point is not to choose firm cauliflower. The looser cauliflower tastes better, and it tastes crunchy and sweet.

First cut off the cauliflower one by one, and then tear the big cauliflower into florets.

Yes, it is better to use pulled ones instead of cut ones, so that it is easier to fry.Then put the florets in a large bowl, pour in water, and add a little salt to start soaking.

Because the cauliflower is not smooth, it is difficult to clean. Soaking it in salt water can make the insect eggs hiding under the flowers escape, and at the same time soak off the pesticides left on the cauliflower.

After soaking, pour the cauliflower into the strainer, then shake it like an upside-down pot to shake out the dirty water in the cauliflower, then rinse it with running water, and drain the water!
Next, cut the prepared pork belly into thin slices.

The pork belly is not the main ingredient, but for decoration, because if the cauliflower in the dry pot is just cauliflower, it is a bit too monotonous, and the cauliflower itself is sweet, so the pure cauliflower is not tasty at all.

Of course, some people don’t use pork belly, but choose broth, either.

Next, chop all the ingredients, slice the ginger and garlic, cut the scallions into rings, and cut the green and red peppers into slices.

Take the pan, heat the oil to [-]% to [-]% heat, put in the drained cauliflower, fry the water in the cauliflower, and stir fry until it is broken, then set aside.

Then cook the pork again, add the pork belly, stir-fry until the flesh turns white, add onion, ginger, garlic, and pepper, stir-fry until fragrant, add bean paste, stir-fry until fragrant with red oil, then pour in the previously stir-fried cauliflower, Then add various seasonings.

Chicken essence, sugar, soy sauce and more!

Stir-fry quickly, pour in the oil before serving, a crispy, delicious, spicy and delicious cauliflower is out of the pot!
"I'm going, so there are so many steps to dry pot cauliflower?"

"Cover your face, I always fry it directly after blanching, but I didn't expect to use pork belly!"

"It smells so good, write it down, go back and learn!"

"Learn? If you learn wool, you can't learn it at all. Even if you really record it, the taste of frying it back will be different from the taste of others!"

"That's right, looking at that smooth and flowing movement, it's simply too handsome, and I don't know who is so lucky to be able to dominate this man!"

"No, it's right here!"

"roll!"

In many people's minds, this dish of cauliflower in a dry pot should be very simple. It is basically two kinds of cauliflower and pepper, and then some seasonings, such as salt, vinegar, etc., can be eaten quickly after stir-frying!

Even, no one was able to fry the cauliflower until it was raw. After all, cauliflower can be eaten raw!
But...Zhou You's dry pot cauliflower dish is really jaw-dropping. I didn't expect there to be so many steps.
