Liao Jiayan: “Just finish it off with salad dressing.”

After Ting Jiu finished plating the salad, he followed Liao Jiayan’s instructions and squeezed the salad dressing on top of the vegetables.

After completing the last step, Ting Jiu held the vegetable salad he had made and admired it carefully. “It’s so beautiful. I feel like I’m working in a five-star restaurant. ”

Especially when Liao Jiayan taught him how to set up the table just now, he finally knew what it meant to be on a higher level.

Ting Jiu looked up at Liao Jiayan and couldn’t help but give her a thumbs up. “Sister Liao, you’re really amazing.”

“Mine is ready too.” After Liao Jiayan squeezed the salad dressing on it, she also finished her portion of salad.

She put in a little more effort than Ting Jiu. She cut the cucumbers into several different shapes. This way, the overall effects of the plating would be more impactful.

She put in a little more effort than Ting Jiu. Qing split up a few shapes to cut. The effect of this arrangement would be better.

“How long has your meat been stewed? Is it still not done?”

For some reason, Qi Yan felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Ting Jiu’s concerned questioning.

“Can’t you see that the pot hasn’t boiled yet?” she replied impatiently.

She had added some water just now. How could it boil so quickly?

Ting Jiu came over curiously and saw that she was boiling the dish on a small fire. He couldn’t help but complain, “My sister, can’t you turn the fire up a little? Are you trying to boil a frog?”

[Little Jiu Jiu has such a good temper. So he knows how to scold people too, hahaha.]

[Boil a frog hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter. I’ve learned it, I’ve learned it. With this sarcastic nature, he is still our Little Jiu Jiu.]

[Yes, yes, yes. That’s how it should be. No one will spoil Miss Qi. I can’t tolerate her anymore. There’s no need to tolerate her anymore.]

[Save me. Somebody should be our substitute. Treat Qi Yan ruthlessly.]

[Ting Jiu was just trying to give a kind reminder. What’s with her attitude? Is it Little Jiu Jiu’s fault that the pot didn’t boil? Why is she so impatient? Why doesn’t she vent her anger on the pot?]

[The meme of the old man on the subway looking at his phone. Understood?]

Ting Jiu couldn’t stand it anymore, he directly turned up the fire for her.

Qi Yan: ‘

After the pot boiled, Qi Yan took an empty plate and prepared to plate the meat.

When Ting Jiu saw that the meat in the pot was still white and colorless, he really couldn’t tell what this had to do with braised pork.

Before she loaded the plates, Ting Jiu couldn’t help but remind her, “Don’t you always have to add dark soy sauce when you make red braised pork belly?”

Although Ting Jiu did not know how to cook, he had seen his mother make braised pork at home and roughly knew some things.

Hearing Ting Jiu’s words, Qi Yan realized that she had forgotten about this

step.

She put down the spatula in her hand, grabbed a bottle of soy sauce from the seasoning area, and poured it into the pot.

Qi Yan put down the soy sauce and picked up the spatula to flip the meat and spread the sauce evenly. There was no effect, so she picked up the soy sauce bottle, wanting to add more.

Ting Jiu happened to see the label on the bottle and immediately stopped her from pouring it in.

“What are you doing?” Qi Yan looked at him unhappily. “No, you added light soy sauce.”

Qi Yan said, “Aren’t they all similar? What’s the difference?”

“Light soy sauce is used to raise freshness. Only dark soy sauce can color the meat.” Ting Jiu brought over the dark soy sauce and stuffed it into her hand, she said with some disappointment, “I thought your culinary skills were good.

You can’t even differentiate between light soy sauce and dark soy sauce.”

[I’m dying of laughter. Hahaha, Qi Yan doesn’t know as much as Little Jiu Jiu.]

[This family can’t do without Little Jiu Jiu? Hahaha.]

[I take back my words that ‘Qi Yan has some culinary knowledge’.]

[Save me. I’ve never cooked before, and yet I still know the difference between light and dark soy sauce. You may not have cooked before, but you ought to have heard about it. Perhaps Missy doesn’t come into contact with these things every day.]

[At least take a look at the labels. My god, guess why light soy sauce is called light soy sauce and why dark soy sauce is called dark soy sauce.]

[Families, I feel that Miss Qi has been cooking braised pork for a century. The dishes next door have already been stir-fried. Why is she still on braised pork? Oh, she was cooking it on a small fire, hahahaha.]

The director saw on the monitor that the three groups were about to complete their mission. He immediately invited the villagers who had come to vote to take a seat.

After settling down the villagers, the director came to Meng Chuyuan’s group before the dishes were served.

He used the excuse of an inspection to sneak into their group. Coincidentally, the cameraman was filming Lu Jinsen making a salad. He walked to Meng

Chuyuan’s side and whispered, “Teacher Meng, if you win later, can you get Qi

Yan to move back in with you?”

When Meng Chuyuan heard the director’s request, she looked up in surprise and stared at the director.

“Why do you think I’ll win?”

The director said confidently, “I believe your culinary skills will definitely crush everyone present.”

He did not watch these past few episodes of the variety show from behind the scenes for nothing. He had carefully observed that the Liao Sisters did not know how to make many dishes and often ate the same few dishes. Meng Chuyuan was different. She basically ate different dishes for every meal.

He had mentioned this request to Qi Yan during lunch, but it did not work.

The production team was worried that filming at home would cause trouble for the old lady’s family, so they had no choice but to use this competition to cover up.

Meng Chuyuan shook her head and said disdainfully, “Aren’t you being too kind?”

“I came to beg you because I had no choice.”

Hearing the director’s request, Meng Chuyuan felt that it was still a little ridiculous.

Meng Chuyuan’s lips twitched. Without changing her expression, she said, “I didn’t say I would definitely help you.”

She did not treat this as a competition to begin with. She just casually made a dish from the available ingredients. Thinking that the dishes were for the villagers to taste, she put in a little more effort and specially made handmade meatballs.

The director felt that it was not good to be seen here for too long as the other guests might suspect that his variety show was rigged.

After a while, the director said tactfully, “Why don’t you reconsider? This is really important to our production team.”

“The results are not out yet. It doesn’t seem good for you to discuss this with me in advance, right? What if my dishes don’t suit the villagers’ taste and the other two groups win?”

Ten minutes later, each group brought their own dishes to the table for the villagers to try.

For the sake of fairness, the production team completely mixed up the order of each set of dishes. Then, they let the villagers choose according to their taste after eating.

The guests watched as the lid of their dishes was lifted. When the villagers picked up their chopsticks to taste it, they were quite nervous.

When the villagers’ chopsticks reached for Qi Yan’s plate of braised pork, the audience in the live-stream became restless.

[If I remember correctly, that braised pork was made by Qi Yan, right?] [Help!! I’m already starting to feel nervous for the villagers.]

[IYou’re nervous for the villagers, hahahaha.. Sister, are you serious? Aren’t you nervous for Miss Qi?]
