The genius villain's mother is going crazy in the kid's variety show by relying on food

Chapter 31 Fish Head Soup and Candied Apple

Nanzhi and Fu Chao worked together to prepare the ingredients.

Nan Yi and Qing Xi were eating the candied haws they had just bought.

The picture is very warm and harmonious.

Even the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't point out what was wrong.

Especially now, because the two groups of guests have joined together and the live broadcast rooms have been temporarily merged, all the barrages can see each other, so there is no longer a situation where the screen is full of insults to Nanzhi, but instead there is a back and forth exchange of comments!

[It's quite cozy, and it feels like a busy family. ]

[Don't put Nanzhi together with my brother Fu, ok? ]

[Haha, if your brother Fu wasn't Nanzhi, he would still be walking on the street smelling like fish! How ungrateful! ]

[Nanzhi borrowed money to buy clothes and treated them to a meal, and was scolded by fans? Some people should not go too far! ]

[Who knows if she has ulterior motives, maybe she wants to get close to my brother Fu...]

[Okay, stop talking. Brother Fu has already thanked Nanzhi, so as fans, we shouldn’t disagree.]

[That’s right, it’s hard to help someone in need. Brother Fu is in this predicament, Nanzhi really helped a lot! ]

[Please don’t be angry about the extreme comments of a small number of fans. Most of us fans are very grateful to Nanzhi! ]

……

Although Fu Chao’s fan circle is fiercely divided, there are still many people who have discerning eyes.

No matter what happens in reality.

Now in the variety shows, it is clear who has the upper hand and who is at a disadvantage between Nanzhi and Fu Chao.

If Nanzhi hadn’t helped, Fu Chao and his little nephew Qingxi would probably have starved!

Therefore, most of Fu Chao’s fans wisely chose to shut up.

There were also fans who sincerely praised and thanked Nanzhi.

The tone in the live broadcast room gradually became friendly.

In the simple little kitchen, Nanzhi saw Fu Chao finishing up the chores and motioned for him to move aside:

"Leave it to me next."

Fu Chao had been busy for a while, and from being unfamiliar to being proficient, he was already sweating profusely.

He didn't feel bitter, but felt quite accomplished:

"Is there nothing else? I can help you!"

Nanzhi looked at the man who was looking for work and gave him a subtle reminder:

"Why don't you go see the kids?"

Fu Chao turned his head and looked at the small coffee table——

The two little ones put their heads together and were whispering something.

Of course, it was Qingxi who was the main speaker, and Nanyi would just occasionally chime in.

In front of them were the picture cards that Nanzhi bought, and they were chewing the candied haws with a crunching sound.

...Why do we need an extra adult like him?
Fu Chao made a decisive decision:

"Should I stay and help?"

Nanzhi was helpless.

Does she have to say that Mr. Fu is too inefficient and would be a nuisance if he stayed?

There was no other way, so she simply pretended that Fu Chao didn't exist, calmed down, and started to process the fish in front of her.

The first dish today is fish head soup, which was inspired by Qingxi.

When making fish head soup, it is best to use bighead carp, also known as silver carp.

The fish that Nanzhi picked was big in size, with plump and firm meat, moist and shiny scales, and basically no earthy smell. It was absolutely top quality.

So just using it to make soup is certainly not enough. It is best to use the fish head to make soup, braise the tail, and make the fish body into fish balls. This can be said to be “making the most of the fish”!
Nanzhi's exquisite knife skills are fully demonstrated here. There are not too many fancy tricks. A big kitchen knife, in her hand, is like a piece of cake. The sharp blade breaks through the layers of fish meat, twists and pulls, and the whole fish bone is taken out!

Fu Chao, who was standing next to him, almost popped his eyes out of his head!
I thought I was watching some cooking show!
And this is just the beginning!
Nanzhi took an iron pan, heated it up, added lard, green onion and ginger, then fried the fish head until golden brown and peeled. She sprinkled cooking wine along the edge of the pan, then added boiling water and cooked over high heat.

While waiting for the fish soup to cook, Nanzhi took the fish body without stopping, and still used the big kitchen knife to scrape off the fish paste bit by bit along the texture of the fish meat, then stirred it into a paste with both hands and squeezed it into balls.

At this time, the fish soup was almost ready. Nanzhi cooked the fish balls in the original soup, then added mushrooms and green vegetables, and seasoned them.

Fish head soup and fish balls came out of the pot one after another, followed by a dish of braised fish tail.

She moved skillfully and swiftly; the pots, pans, and utensils were like soldiers in her hands, which she could dispatch and command at will.

Fu Chao felt like he was standing there like an idiot for a while, while Nanzhi had already cooked several dishes in succession, each of which was fragrant and extremely delicious.

Just like that... He actually has the nerve to ask to help?

It’s simply asking for humiliation!

"What are you doing standing still?"

Nanzhi saw Fu Chao standing there motionless, so he made arrangements.
"Bring the food over."

"Hey? Hey!"

Fu Chao responded quickly and served the dishes very attentively.

When he turned around, two pairs of black eyes were staring at him, like glowing cat's eyes. At first glance, they looked somewhat similar!

Fu Chao comforted the two little greedy cats:
“Let’s eat together later!”

Nan Yi swallowed and managed to remain calm.

Qingxi was completely confused and nodded randomly:
“Hmm! Let’s eat them together… They smell so good… slurp…”

[Xiaoxi is spitting saliva, and I am spitting saliva too. ]

[Oh my god, Nanzhi’s cooking skills are so good? ]

【New here? Haven’t been online recently? 】

[I can smell the fragrance through the screen. I'm going crazy. Why didn't I eat and watch the live broadcast? ]

[I didn’t realize that the food I made the previous two days was relatively simple, but today I’m a real chef! ]

[You don’t understand this. Simplicity is the best way to show your skills! ]

[I finally understand why some people told Nanzhi to stop being a celebrity and become a chef! ]

While Fu Chao was taking away the dishes and making room for the dishes, Nanzhi took out the apples that Nanyi had given her in the morning and prepared to make another dessert.

Peel the apples, cut them into pieces, coat them with flour batter, and fry them in oil until golden brown.

Heat oil in a pan again, add sugar and boil until bubbles appear. Pour the fried apple pieces in, making sure each piece is fully coated with sugar liquid. Sprinkle with white sesame seeds, remove from pan, place on a plate, and eat with cold water.

This lunch, with one fish in three ways and candied apples, couldn’t be more sumptuous!
Fu Chaoyuan thought that when Nanzhi asked them to eat, it would at most be some light porridge and side dishes.

As a result, the table was full of vegetables and meat, and even the white rice was so fragrant that he drooled...

Nanzhi: “Don’t you want to eat?”

Fu Chao: “Eat!”

He will remember this meal well!
Fu Chao helped to set the table and wisely scooped a bowl of fish soup for the chef first.

Then there are Nan Yi and Qing Xi.

Finally, it is yourself.

Fu Chao couldn't wait and drank a sip of the milky and fragrant fish soup first.

His eyes opened wide quickly, and even his soul was numbed by the extreme freshness, and his mind went blank!
Then he picked up a fish ball and found it soft, tender, fresh and fluffy. It even had a fluffy and airy feel.
There is no need for overly complicated seasoning, the freshness of the ingredients themselves is fully displayed... What a confidence!

Fu Chao has also tasted the cooking of many famous chefs.

But he still felt that today's bowl of fish head soup was the best he had ever eaten, no doubt about it!
