Chapter 16 Fragrant, really fragrant
"An anti-fan is an anti-fan. You all want to see Zhong Tao make a fool of yourself from the bottom of your heart. It's just that Zhong Tao keeps hitting you in the face, so you pretend to love Zhong Tao and step on Zhong Tao every chance you get. One kick!"

"Many people who like to watch "The Metamorphosis" simply like to watch the rich second generation make a fool of themselves. I guess people like them will be dying of anxiety when they see Zhong Tao going smoothly!"

"Taking a step back, even if Zhong Tao's cooking is not delicious, he still has the right to cook and prepare the ingredients. He hunted this black pig king by himself. He can cook it by himself if he wants. You are simply doing this. Moral kidnapping!”

"Haha, Zhong Tao's idiot fans, stop being funny. Wait a minute when he cooks a meal of pig food. I'll see how you still protect him without thinking!"

Zhong Tao's insistence on cooking also caused a barrage of scoldings.

But to be honest, even viewers who have a good impression of Zhong Tao are not sure whether Zhong Tao can cook this meal well.

After all, Zhong Tao just made a "dark dish" this morning!

He even made the director vomit on the spot!

Wheat cakes are relatively easy to make. Now let’s make pork.
It’s no wonder that everyone has confidence in Zhong Tao!

The photographer was also very understanding. Sensing the mood of the barrage, he zoomed in on Zhong Tao and only took a close-up of Zhong Tao himself.

Now the program team most hopes to see emotions of confusion, anger, and regret on Zhong Tao's face, but Zhong Tao looks calm and relaxed.
Are the wheat cakes made in the morning a dark dish?

At that time it was just because there were not enough ingredients!

Even with simple ingredients, Zhong Tao made a meal of wheat pancakes that Yaya would never forget.

Now that the ingredients are all available, let alone that!

Light the firewood and heat the pot!
Zhong Tao poured a bucket of oil directly into the pot, and streams of green smoke suddenly appeared!

If Zhong Tao was simply cooking for himself, he wouldn't add so much oil.

But what he is cooking now is farm food, which naturally has to suit Chen Qiuxia and Yaya's tastes.

Urban people now pay attention to "not greasy" when cooking, and even regard "lightness" as a criterion to measure the quality of a dish.

In fact, this is due to the composition of the diet. Compared with poor villages like Taoyuan Village, urban residents have adequate intake of various nutrients and even excessive intake of fat. They should indeed cook with less oil to ensure a healthy diet.

But Chen Qiuxia and Yaya are different!

They always have clear soup with little water, and there is no problem of excessive fat intake.

In this case, the more oil in cooking, the more fragrant and delicious it is!
Zhong Tao leisurely cut the cabbage and potatoes and set them aside, and then added a bag of red yeast sugar to the pot!
Fried sugar color!
It stands to reason that white sugar should be used to make fried sugar, but Chen Qiuxia's fine white sugar is simply not enough.

Red yeast sugar is a cheaper sugar made from red yeast rice. Unlike white sugar, red yeast sugar has a slightly sour taste, which is a small flaw.

But it didn’t matter, Zhong Tao then added a lot of aniseed!

Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, ginger peel, garlic cloves, dried chili peppers
The village chief Zhong Tao directly added more than half of the aniseed he brought from home!

This made the village chief's mouth tremble. He was being polite to Zhong Tao and brought all the inventory at home!
Who knew that Zhong Tao would be so willing to not be polite to him!
"His!"

Thick smoke was everywhere, and anyone who knew anything knew that Zhong Tao was in trouble!

The aroma of the aniseed ingredients immediately spread, along with the rich smell of oil. Not to mention the villagers who were watching, even the program crew couldn't help but drool like crazy.

Fragrant, it's so fragrant!

However, just when everyone was intoxicated by the fragrance, a wisp of flames burst out of the pot, and then a fire broke out!
"It's on fire, put out the fire quickly."

Director Chen Qian shouted, but there was no panic on his face. On the contrary, he was smiling happily.

Zhong Tao's cooking posture looked very handsome and chic, but when he caught fire while cooking, it was obvious that the meal was a mess!
"Rice in a large pot with a large amount of oil is easy to catch fire. This is because the oil temperature is too high." Zhong Tao looked at the director with a look that looked like he was mentally retarded: "What's so strange about this?"

With that said, Zhong Tao poured the pork directly into it.

Sure enough, as soon as the pork went in, the flames in the pot immediately went out.

"This"

The director was immediately embarrassed on the spot, and many villagers looked at the director covering his mouth and snickering.

Although the villagers in Taoyuan Village do not often cook big pot rice because of their poverty, everyone still knows that high oil temperature will cause fire.After all, during the Chinese New Year, everyone puts as much oil into the dishes as possible to make them "fire"!
The villagers feel that the rice produced in this way is more delicious and symbolizes prosperity.

"Crash!"

Zhong Tao skillfully stir-fried with a large spoon, sweating slightly on his forehead.

Sweating is inevitable because the temperature around the wood-fired pot is very high, and stir-frying the rice in a large pot is also laborious!

After a while, the skin of the pork turned golden brown.

Zhong Tao added cabbage and potatoes, half a bottle of soy sauce and half a bag of salt, then moved a dirty white plastic bucket and poured clean mountain spring water into it.

The stir-frying work has been completed, now it’s time to stew and cook!
The tempting aroma spread out, and the people in the program crew started drooling more and more.

"It doesn't taste good. The rice cooked by Zhong Tao must not taste good!"

Everyone told themselves silently in their hearts.

But I think so in my heart, but my body is not up to par!

I don’t know when, the people on the show including director Chen Qian all started to take deep breaths like crazy, just to enjoy the aroma of pork stewed with cabbage!
It only took Zhong Tao 10 minutes to stir-fry.

But simmering requires a long wait.

According to Zhong Tao's estimate, it would take at least an hour to wait for the black-haired pig king to be cooked thoroughly, cooked until tender, and the fat melted perfectly in the soup!

Zhong Tao took a sweet grass root in his mouth and went to the corner of the yard without forgetting to cover his face with a straw hat. He looked very confident in his pork stew with cabbage.

However, the people in the program crew stared at the pot of pork and muttered.

Tasty?
The dishes made by Zhong Tao can't be delicious!

"Zhong Tao, have you ever learned to cook before?"

Recalling Zhong Tao's flawless movements of frying and chopping vegetables just now, director Chen Qian couldn't help but come up and ask.

He needs a reassurance!

If this kid really cooks a delicious meal, he will gain a lot of reputation in the village, and he will probably stay in the village longer.

"Including the meal this morning, this is the second time in my life that I have cooked."

Zhong Tao said calmly.

Zhong Tao didn't lie, this was indeed the second time in his life to cook.

But he didn't count the rewards from his cooking skills and system in his previous life.

Zhong Tao's words put the director's heart in his stomach. He put his hands behind his back and ordered the cameraman to shoot hard at the cauldron, and don't forget to shoot the expectant looks in Chen Qiuxia and Yaya's eyes.

The higher everyone's expectations for Zhong Tao's cooking, the greater the disappointment!
The director estimated that Zhong Tao had watched some instructional videos on how to cook a big pot of rice, so he was able to cook it in a decent way, but it was probably just a show-off.

Wait a moment and it will be time for Zhong Tao to make a fool of himself!
"Cooking for the second time?"

"The first time was probably the moldy-looking wheat cake this morning."

"Haha, I guess it's some dark cuisine again this time."

"I think Zhong Tao is lying."

Suddenly, a conspicuous red barrage rolled over.

"It can't be his first time cooking. His butchering techniques and vegetable chopping movements were as smooth and proficient as a master chef who has been immersed in the kitchen for many years!"

Are the techniques comparable to those of a master master?
Exaggerated!
