Entertainment: The system makes me a porter
Chapter 15 Xiao Long Bao
After hearing the news, everyone flocked to Xia Xue's X blog account and left many comments.
These comments came in like a tide, making Xia Xue's X blog instantly lively.
Some people expressed surprise and curiosity about the news and asked for more details, and started heated discussions with other netizens. It was the first time they saw the collaboration between lyrics, music and food.
This situation is undoubtedly what Xue Xiaoxia wants to see now, but at the same time, Qiao Qiuqin's ambiguous gaze makes Xue Xiaoxia feel a little embarrassed. After all, Qiao Qiuqin is one of the only people who knows his many vests! Thinking of this, Xue Xiaoxia turned his head away from Qiao Qiuqin.
Qiao Qiuqin seemed to think Xue Xiaoxia's current shy look was very cute, "I'm already looking forward to how my Xia Xia will respond when her vest is discovered."
In fact, Xue Xiaoxia didn't want to hide his vests, but his vests were a bit too wide and normal people wouldn't dare to play with them like this. If they were really discovered, they might be caught and studied. Xue Xiaoxia turned over and sat astride Qiao Qiuqin, "What good will it do you if I, your brother, am caught and sliced?"
Qiao Qiuqin was quick to reach out and hold Xue Xiaoxia's slender waist tightly, not daring to relax for fear that Xue Xiaoxia would slip away from him. "When did I say I would send you to be sliced? I am your diehard fan and I swear to protect the best brother Xia Xue in the world!"
Xue Xiaoxia laughed non-stop as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world, and finally laughed so hard that her body went limp and she fell on Qiao Qiuqin. Qiao Qiuqin was a little breathless under the sudden weight, but seeing how happy Xue Xiaoxia was, he couldn't help but laugh along. "Qiao Qiuqin, do you know how stupid you looked just now?"
Qiao Qiuqin's hands were behind Xue Xiaoxia to stroke his back, she was really afraid that he would grab her if he laughed like that. "Qinqin didn't know what stupid thing she did, but Qinqin knew that her brother was finally happy."
Xue Xiaoxia laughed so hard that she couldn't sit up. "Thank you, I really amused you."
"Okay, go to bed early. Don't we have to make dumplings tomorrow? I have to go back to Jingle tomorrow. I'll call you to get up when I get back." Xue Xiaoxia did not refute Qiao Qiuqin's words, and went back to the room that she had just tidied up today and went to sleep.
The next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the window, illuminating Xue Xiaoxia's sleeping face.
When Qiao Qiuqin got home, he gently opened the door and walked into the bedroom. Seeing Xue Xiaoxia still sleeping, Qiao Qiuqin couldn't help but smile dotingly. He walked to the bedside and called softly: "Xia Xia, get up..."
However, Xue Xiaoxia didn't seem to want to leave the warm bed. He closed his eyes and stretched out his hand to signal Qiao Qiuqin to pick him up from the bed. Qiao Qiuqin smiled helplessly and gently stroked Xue Xiaoxia's hair. Then he bent down and picked up Xue Xiaoxia.
"Baby~ It's really a bit ambiguous between you and me~" Xue Xiaoxia, who was placed on the sink by Qiao Qiuqin, teased Qiao Qiuqin.
"Don't move. I'll get you slippers. You can squeeze the toothpaste first. After you finish washing up, we'll go out shopping. Your Ranran must see your Baozi appear in front of her tonight, otherwise she will make a fuss and will have to follow us to go shopping next time. Do you understand?" Qiao Qiuqin also imitated Ren Ruiran's tone just now.
Xue Xiaoxia washed up obediently, and the two of them went out after 20 minutes.
Xue Xiaoxia had a clear goal in mind when she went out this time - to buy some new clothes. The original owner had devoted most of his money to his family and that hateful scumbag, and was quite stingy with his own material enjoyment. He also had some clothes, but not many, and some of them were left in the rental house and could not be taken out.
Xue Xiaoxia thought carefully about the plot in the original novel. Since entering the university campus, the original owner has bought very few clothes. After being with Tan Tiantai, he almost stopped buying anything except for daily necessities. This overly demanding attitude towards life makes Xue Xiaoxia feel distressed. He decided to change all this, re-examine his quality of life, and improve his quality of life.
After the two of them walked into the mall, Xue Xiaoxia went straight to the men's clothing area. He planned to pick out some new clothes to reward himself. However, faced with a wide variety of clothing, he still couldn't find a style that completely suited his taste. He tried on several pieces, but always felt that something was missing.
Qiao Qiuqin, who was standing by, saw all of this and couldn't stand it any longer. So he took the initiative to step forward and help Xue Xiaoxia pick out clothes. With his unique vision and sensitivity to fashion, Qiao Qiuqin picked out several cute outfits and asked Xue Xiaoxia to try them on one by one.
Every time she put on a new piece of clothing, Xue Xiaoxia would stand in front of the mirror and turn around to show it to Qiao Qiuqin. Qiao Qiuqin would give her comments and suggestions on the surface, but in his heart he was already very moved by Xue Xiaoxia. In this way, with the joint efforts of the two, there were finally a few pieces of clothing that made Xue Xiaoxia smile with satisfaction. Xue Xiaoxia bought these clothes, but when he saw Qiao Qiuqin pay for them, he didn't show him what he bought.
Then the two of them went to the seasoning area without stopping. It's not that there are no seasonings in the vegetable market, but there are a lot of strange seasonings in the supermarket. This is also what Xue Xiaoxia doesn't understand. There are so many seasonings but people just don't cook. Xue Xiaoxia even thinks that they use seasonings to mix nutrient solution directly to drink.
[Host, it’s just that few people here can cook, not that no one can cook. So there’s no need to think that the people here are so...interesting...]
Xue Xiaoxia keenly noticed that her system seemed to be a little evasive and lacked confidence. Although she was suspicious, she did not show it, but carefully selected various seasonings.
The bottles and cans on the shelf dazzled him, but with his many years of cooking experience, Xue Xiaoxia still picked out some seasonings that looked normal. In addition, he also bought some snacks. In his words, this was to gain a deeper understanding of the local food culture!
The system has seen through this person, it is obvious that he just wants to eat snacks. However, the system does not want to tell its host that the snacks here are not good either.
Xue Xiaoxia looked at the things in his hand and the things in Qiao Qiuqin's hand. He felt that it was time for him to stop. The two put the things back in the car and went to the vegetable market.
Xue Xiaoxia first bought a whole bag of 50 kilograms of flour, and a lot of chicken, pork bones and pork. The lady boss saw that Xue Xiaoxia bought so much and gave her a goose as a gift. Xue Xiaoxia said that she didn't need it, but she honestly accepted it.
The two of them finally moved the things upstairs and it took them almost half an hour to move everything up. It was already afternoon when they finished putting everything away, but Xue Xiaoxia still turned on the live broadcast.
"Hello everyone, it's been a long time since we last met. I'm suddenly not used to seeing so many of you." Xue Xiaoxia found that there were already tens of thousands of people in her live broadcast room.
[You need to get used to it first. We came here from Xia Xue's place to watch the fun. He said you can make dumplings.]
Xue Xiaoxia looked at the comments and saw that many people came here just to make dumplings. "Then let's start with the xiaolongbao. However, since some of the dumplings to be made later require ingredients that have been prepared today, today's live broadcast may be a bit messy. I will try to organize it when I edit the video later."
Xue Xiaoxia skillfully poured flour into a large bowl, added an appropriate amount of water, and then gently stirred with her hands until the dough became soft and elastic. She put the kneaded dough aside to let it rest for a while.
Next, Xue Xiaoxia began to prepare the meat filling for the dumplings. He picked out fresh pork, chopped it into fine pieces, added onions, ginger, garlic, salt, soy sauce, cooking wine and other seasonings, and stirred it clockwise to allow the meat filling to fully absorb the aroma and taste.
After finishing seasoning the meat filling, Xue Xiaoxia did not stop.
Because broth would be needed later, he took out chicken bones and pork bones from the refrigerator, put them in a large pot, added water, and simmered them slowly.
Xue Xiaoxia waited patiently, skimming off the foam from time to time to ensure the soup was clear and delicious. Occasionally, she would check the comments and answer some questions.
[I am a culinary student who made fish soup with you last time. I just saw you boil the meat for about 20 minutes and then pour out the water. You call it blanching. What is the purpose? ]
"Well, because the soup we're going to make won't have a strong seasoning, but there is some odor in the meat and blanching can remove a lot of it." Xue Xiaoxia covered the pot and the noodles were ready.
Xue Xiaoxia skillfully rolled the dough into long strips, and then quickly cut it into small pieces of uniform size with a knife. Then he picked up a small piece of dough and placed it on the mat, dipped his fingers in some flour and sprinkled it evenly on the surface of the small piece of dough.
After finishing the preparations, Xue Xiaoxia started rolling out the bun wrappers. He first flattened the small dough, then used a rolling pin to roll it into a round sheet that was thick in the middle and thin at the edges. His movements were skillful and each time he rolled the dough, he did it just right. "Baby, get me a stool. I'm going to start making buns. I also need a steamer."
There was an extra person next to the video, also wearing a mask. Xue Xiaoxia was originally a virtual person when she started the video, and she also wore a mask to ensure safety. The man brought a stool, then skillfully took out a steamer, put on a steamer cloth and handed it to Xue Xiaoxia, then skillfully filled the water and put it on the stove, but left the kitchen without turning on the fire.
[She is so skilled in making people feel distressed, Xia Xia? Just call her that. From now on, I will call her Xue Xue. Is your Bao my Xue Xue? Is his service really good?]
"It's not Xia Xue, he's skilled? It seems so, I've put a steamer in the pot. I'll give him two more steamed buns tonight as a reward!" Xue Xiaoxia skillfully placed the bun skin on his palm, then scooped up a spoonful of tender meat filling and spread it evenly in the middle of the bun skin. He pinched the edge of the bun skin, folded it in half, and folded it in half again... After a while, a delicate and cute bun appeared in his hand.
Xue Xiaoxia brought the finished buns in front of the camera so that everyone could see them clearly. The plump white buns in the camera aroused the curiosity of the audience.
[I thought I didn’t miss it, so how come the buns in his hand were suddenly ready?]
[Don’t worry, my teacher is already watching. I’ve already ordered the ingredients from the kitchen boss! When my teacher understands, we will definitely show off to those foreigners at the international chef competition this year!]
[It started again. Spread out the bun skin, scoop a spoonful of meat filling, and put it into the bun skin... Xia Chufang moved his hands a few times and the bun appeared...]
[It seems to be summarized but it also seems not to be summarized. Who can tell me how to package it? ]
[He really made me cry. He showed me how to make buns even from an angle that he was not comfortable with.]
[I saw it clearly but I still can’t do it. Although that bun is not as good-looking as before, Xia Xia, you can’t call it an ugly thing!]
[He moved closer to the camera and made another bun... and was called ugly again. He even used another steamer to put it in disgust so that they wouldn't be able to share the beautiful buns?]
[I...you guys should learn quickly, his ugly stuff is almost filling up the whole cage.]
Xue Xiaoxia stopped when she saw that the slightly crooked buns filled up a basket, "Okay, a full basket, no more playing. You can watch the video over and over again when it comes out."
[To be honest, my teacher did make something similar, but it’s still not as good as Xia Xia’s… “ugly thing”.]
"It's okay. This is something that comes with practice. Just know the method and keep practicing. It doesn't matter if they are ugly, as long as the filling doesn't show." Xue Xiaoxia answered many questions while making the dumplings while steaming them.
"Why steam so much? Because there are a lot of people on the anchor's side, so if we make more, we can put it in the refrigerator and just take it out and heat it up when we want to eat." Xue Xiaoxia saw the barrage saying there would be a lucky draw.
Xue Xiaoxia thought about it and it was not impossible, but her own food would take two or three days to preserve without preservatives.
[It's totally fine, host. First, freeze these buns. If they are fresh, except in remote areas, they should be received within three days and eaten quickly. You might attract more viewers by holding a lucky draw, but the postage may be a little more expensive. If you are a little shameless and only give away the first three on the list every day, you don't have to spend any money if you round up.]
Xue Xiaoxia thought about it and realized that this was too obvious. She was not too poor to pay, so she could just draw three people at a time. "That's fine. I made too many buns today. I'll put them on ice tonight and ship them out tomorrow. Remember to eat them right away. Homemade buns don't have preservatives and won't last long. If the person who wins the lottery is not in the free shipping area, we won't ship the buns and we'll draw a new one. Sorry, fresh food is too far away to preserve."
Everyone understands this, but some families in areas where shipping is not free are really upset because they also want to try the food they cook. "See if there are any that are easier to store after you make them. You can try again. Don't be too upset. And there are only three draws each time. You may not win if you are open-minded."
Xue Xiaoxia's words did not comfort those who could not smoke, and even made those who could smoke feel defensive.
