A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot

  Chapter 53 Fried rice with water?

  The crayfish at Hu Da Restaurant tasted really good, but they were sold out within a short while after they arrived, and Wu Kaiyuan added another ten catties.

  When there are many people, the food is always more delicious.

  If you are with your friends, it will be more fun if you fight over each other.

  Liu Yifei ate no less than the staff, and she obviously liked the atmosphere where many people gathered to eat.

  Eating crayfish is the best way to socialize, because you need to wear gloves and you can't play with your phone.

  The staff present are all familiar colleagues, and they dare to make any jokes on weekdays.

  There are artists present today, they have restrained a lot, but the atmosphere is still happy.

  Wu Lei has a lively personality and can play well with anyone, and he quickly integrated into them.

  But he is controlling his weight, he didn’t eat anything, he just took a sip of the protein powder in the cup he brought from time to time.

  Liu Yifei was wearing gloves, and while eating crayfish, she listened to their chatting, interjecting a few words from time to time, and was also very happy.

  After being ridiculed by Wu Lei and the others, Zhao Jinmai let go a lot.

  But she still didn't dare to intervene, so she chatted with Li Yi.

  Although the people at this table were all her peers, the person she was most familiar with was Li Yi, whom she had only met once.

   "Brother Yi, are you going to sell beef noodles on the show?"

  She still can't forget the beef noodles she ate that day.

   "I have plans, but it's very tiring to make [Tianxiayi Beef Noodles]."

   "It's okay, I'll help you!"

  Zhao Jinmai shook his fist.

  Li Yi smiled: "You are too weak, this job needs some physical strength."

   "Then let Wu Lei come."

   Zhao Jinmai recommends: "He works out every day and has great strength."

  Hearing his name, Wu Lei turned around and asked, "What's wrong? Are you talking bad about me?"

   "Tch! Who do you underestimate?"

  Zhao Jinmai curled his lips: "We are talking, after the recording, we need you to help with some work."

"no problem!"

  Wu Lei rolled up his sleeves, posed in a curved-arm shape, and said proudly: "Leave me any physical work, and I will treat it as strength training!"

"good."

  Li Yi smiled and nodded: "Your words are enough."

   "Haha! Just come! I'm still worried about not enough training!"

  Wu Lei laughed, then picked up the cup and took a sip of the protein powder.

  Seeing this, Zhao Jinmai asked curiously, "Do you only drink this if you don't eat?"

   "This is my dinner."

  Wu Lei shook the cup: "Today is a low-carb day, so I won't eat carbs."

  “I heard that if you don’t eat carbohydrates for a long time, you will lose your hair.”

  Zhao Jinmai looked at Wu Lei's hair curiously: "Could you be bald already?"

   "What are you thinking about!"

  Wu Lei was so angry that he rolled his eyes: "Brother, with his beautiful hair, he can shoot shampoo commercials, okay?"

"Ha ha!"

  Zhao Jinmai pulled back a victory, smiled triumphantly, and shook his head regretfully: "Unfortunately, if you don't eat carbohydrates, wouldn't life be short of a great joy?"

   "I don't want to eat! I just have a choice to eat."

  Wu Lei explained: "I can eat clean white rice, and I have to eat more on training days."

   "Clean white rice?"

  Zhao Jinmai was puzzled: "Is there still unclean white rice?"

"Yes, I have!"

  Wu Lei explained: "Processed rice like fried rice, bibimbap, rice in soup, and risotto are dirty carbs, and I can't eat them."

  Hearing what he said, Zhao Jinmai immediately complained to Li Yi: "Brother Yi, he said your fried rice is dirty carbs."

   "I didn't mean that, don't frame me."

  Wu Lei explained with a smile: "Dirty carbs mean a mixture of sugar and oil. It is a food mixed with carbohydrates and fats. This kind of food is the easiest to gain weight. If you want to lose fat, you can't eat it."

   Naturally, Li Yi would not be provoked by Zhao Jinmai. He nodded his head to show his understanding, but then said: "The mixture of sugar and oil is indeed dirty carbohydrates, but fried rice may not be a mixture of sugar and oil."

   "Why not?"

  Wu Lei was stunned for a moment: "Shouldn't fried rice be fried with oil?"

   "Who told you that carbohydrates must be fried with oil?"

  Li Yi smiled and said, "You can also fry rice with water."

"ah?"

  Wu Lei's eyes widened, a little dazed.

   "Fried rice with water? True or false?"

  He suddenly realized: "Could it be porridge you're talking about?"

   "..."

  Li Yi shook his head speechlessly: "Do you think I can't tell the difference between fried rice and porridge?"

   "Is it really fried rice?"

  Wu Lei was even more puzzled: "How can you cook rice with water?"

   "It's easy."

  Li Yi explained lightly: "Only two conditions are needed, temperature and heat."

  Wu Lei thought about it, but still couldn't figure out how to fry rice with water.

  Zhao Jinmai was also aroused by Li Yi, interjected and asked: "Brother Yi, I have watched the video of you making emperor fried rice, I saw you add broth to the pot, is that just water for fried rice?"

"clever."

  Li Yi nodded approvingly: "The principle is the same."

   "Huh? Have you seen it before?"

  Wu Lei felt that his brain was going to burn, and couldn't help asking: "Is the rice fried with water not a mixture of sugar and oil?"

  Li Yi explained: "There are only three ingredients for water-fried rice, rice, eggs, and green onion. The whole process does not require a drop of oil. How can it be a mixture of sugar and oil?"

   "Is it so amazing?"

  Wu Lei was aroused with strong interest: "If this is the case, then you can eat it for fitness and weight loss!"

  Zhao Jinmai swallowed, and couldn't help asking Li Yi: "Brother Yi, can you make fried rice with water? I want to try it."

   "I want to try it too."

  Wu Lei looked at him eagerly.

"Now?"

  Li Yi spread out his hands: "Shall I make it for you?"

   "Isn't there a kitchen here?"

  Wu Lei's social bull-nose syndrome was committed, so he immediately stopped the passing waiter and asked: "Hello, beauty, can we borrow your kitchen?"

   "Borrow the kitchen?"

  The waiter had never encountered such a request before asking, "What are you going to do?"

   "We want to fry a meal."

  Wu Lei explained: "Don't worry, we will pay the money, just use your raw materials."

   "Fried rice? We have fried rice! You can order it, and our back kitchen will make it for you."

  The waiter took the menu and indicated: "We can make fried rice of various flavors, Yangzhou fried rice, soy sauce fried rice, seafood Tom Yum Kung fried rice, curry fried rice, everything is available."

   "But... we want to make water fried rice."

  Wu Lei spread his hands and asked, "Can you do it?"

"ah?"

  The waiter was stunned: "Water fried rice? How do you fry rice with water?"

   "It's water fried rice."

  Wu Lei glanced at Li Yi: "It's fried rice that uses only rice, eggs, and chopped green onion, without a single drop of oil."

"this…"

  The waiter imagined this so-called water fried rice in his mind, but he couldn't imagine what it should taste like.

  She hesitated for a while, then picked up the menu and said, "Let me ask the back chef, okay?"

   After finishing speaking, she turned around and left in a hurry.

   "What's wrong? Wu Lei?"

  Wu Kaiyuan saw that the waiter was called here, so he asked.

"fine."

  Wu Lei explained: "We want Brother Yi to cook us some water fried rice, so we have to borrow the kitchen here."

   "Water fried rice?"

  Wu Kaiyuan was also confused: "Water can also fry rice? How?"

  The other people on the table also heard this and looked at Li Yi in astonishment.
