Entertainment: The system makes me a porter

While the beef brisket was stewing, Xue Xiaoxia started making today's small cakes. Making cupcakes was too troublesome because there was not enough time and whipping the cream, so she planned to make cupcakes with fruit fillings.

In order to avoid the cupcakes looking too monotonous, Xue Xiaoxia deliberately placed a piece of fruit with the same flavor as the filling on the top of the cake. This not only added a visual layering but also showed Xue Xiaoxia's dedication to making this small cake.

Xue Xiaoxia nodded with satisfaction.

[Can anyone tell me why he can do everything? Is there no division of disciplines in his cooking world? Is there really no one to supervise him?]

Xue Xiaoxia was a little confused when she saw the barrage.

[Tongzi? Come out and help me find out if the cooking department here is the same as what I was thinking?] Xue Xiaoxia called the system in her mind.

[Dear host, yes, there are different subjects when studying, but they are not the Chinese and Western food you know before. They are classified very finely, such as your steamed buns and dim sum, cakes and desserts, beef brisket and meat dishes. They are so strange...]

[Don't worry about it. In fact, only newcomers like us can distinguish so finely. Many seniors know a little bit of other things. Yesterday, I was inspired by the genius who asked the teacher to cook. I told my teacher today and he has been watching carefully. I should be able to catch up with that guy soon! ]

[I’m tired of saying “envious”, how come the cooking is so good?]

[Our teacher doesn’t care about us, but we have seniors. We spent money to buy materials together. We only made the soup today, but we have already learned how to make buns. And the host’s video has a material list, which greatly reduces our chances of failure.]

[Although I know this live broadcast room belongs to the anchor, I still want to say that it is really fate. The few people I like recently are all named Xia. Now Xia Xue and Xia Kitchen have already linked up. I hope the big guys will take the initiative to find Teacher Xia Binghai to link up! ]

[You! You like the same thing as me?]

"Xia Bingbao? Of course you can, but what kind of connection can we have? I'm really curious." Xue Xiaoxia herself didn't know what kind of connection she could have with Xia Bingbao's alias.

[I have a bold idea but I don’t know whether I should say it or not.]

"Tell me how bold you are?" Xue Xiaoxia was really curious when he saw this comment.

[You know, Xia Binghai is writing a tomb-raiding story, right? He finds some ancient tomb and gets some delicious recipes or ingredients, and then he brings them back to you, and you cook for Xia Binghai.]

"This idea is too bold. Do you want to pan-fry the forbidden food, stew rice dumplings, or... salt and pepper corpse bugs? You have a strong taste, brother!" Xue Xiaoxia was shocked at the thought.

[…You are so disgusting…I meant that you are collaborating with Xia Binghai himself, not with the weird things in his books…]

Xue Xiaoxia realized belatedly that she had misunderstood him and felt a little embarrassed. "Just speak in full sentences. This really scares me. I thought you wanted to eat something... so special."

After packing lunch and breakfast, I saw Qiao Qiuqin had changed her clothes and was standing at the kitchen door.

"Okay, let's stop here for now. I'll have breakfast and take a rest. I'll start making the barbecued pork buns at two o'clock in the afternoon. See you in the afternoon." Xue Xiaoxia took out her and Qiao Qiuqin's breakfast after the live broadcast. After Qiao Qiuqin finished eating, the two of them took four large lunch boxes and got into Qiao Qiuqin's car.

Although Qiao Qiuqin's home is very close to the company, these boxes require a car. Qiao Qiuqin went to the company's parking lot, thought about it, and finally decided to let Bai Nian come down and take the two large lunch boxes from their lyrics and music department.

Looking at the two big stripes of the singer department, his helpless little finger was still hooked on the lunch box that contained him and Ren Ruiran.

Xue Xiaoxia was bored at home so she called her sister. "Don't worry, Dad is recovering well. We plan to be there in half a month. Be careful over there. I heard that Wang Lijuan is going to do something to Qiao Qiuqin. She has some photos of Qiao Qiuqin at some cocktail parties. She has sent them to some paparazzi, but was stopped by a friend of mine. Tell Qiao Qiuqin to do something about it."

It’s really a headache for Wang Lijuan to have such a troublesome person.

[Host, we are just a transport system. We are not suitable for fighting with each other. 】

Xue Xiaoxia also thought so. He came because Qiao Qiuqin was too well-behaved, which made him forget that in the original novel, Qiao Qiuqin had grown up under Wang Lijuan for three years without being involved in any crime. He even produced evidence of Wang Lijuan's crimes when the heroine needed it.

Xue Xiaoxia planned to talk to Qiao Qiuqin without any burden when he got home from get off work. Xue Xiaoxia stretched, ate lunch and took a nap.

Start making barbecued pork buns at two o'clock!

[Really on time! Summer Kitchen, our entire class is ready! ]

"A whole class? Do you really not want to be so interested? You guys are putting so much pressure on me. What? Today hasn't even started yet and you're already thinking about tomorrow? Okay, actually everyone's skill in making dumplings is about the same. I will make four dumplings with different fillings for you tomorrow. We can make the remaining soup dumplings the day after tomorrow." As Xue Xiaoxia said this, the barrage of comments began to boil.

[Four fillings? Custard buns? Red bean paste buns? Meat buns? Vegetable buns?]

[How did you guess that?]

[It’s not hard to guess after just one look at the lyrics… the order is the same as the Thousand Years Recipe Ode written by Xia Xue.]

[Wow! I heard it! It’s really amazing. By the way, our teacher said that steamed buns are just a small thing. The roast duck we have to make next, the teacher said that if you can’t make it at home, you can come to our school to make it. Our school is in G City. You can come to our school.]

Xue Xiaoxia thought about it and realized that indeed she didn't have a roast duck oven, but Xia Kitchen's vest didn't want to be discovered so quickly, so she decided to think about it again.

[Don't think about it, just don't go. Have you forgotten that you are a trainee chef? You can go to a nearby cooking center and find a room with a grill. ]

Xue Xiaoxia didn't know there was such a thing. Now that she had found the place, it would be easy. She would go and try it tomorrow. After all, Xue Xiaoxia had never made roast duck before, and even if she got the complete recipe in the system, it would not be easy to make.

However, it is more important to make the buns first. First, prepare the ingredients needed to make the barbecued pork buns, including flour, yeast, warm water, barbecued pork, onions, ginger, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar, salt and sesame oil.

Next is the familiar kneading of the dough. Pour the flour into a large bowl, add an appropriate amount of yeast and warm water, and stir evenly until it becomes flocculent. Then knead it into a smooth dough with your hands, cover it with a wet cloth or plastic wrap, and place it in a warm place to ferment until it doubles in size.

[I noticed that every time the host kneaded the dough, her beautiful hands were almost as white as the dough!]

[Be respectful to Teacher Xia Chufang, we just need to know. Also, I am a member of the Food Association, and now I know that there are several big guys watching, so please be polite and keep your comments.]

[Our Xia Xia is so amazing that she is now being noticed by the big guys?]

"While waiting for the dough to ferment, we can prepare the filling first. Cut the pork into small pieces. It's up to you what you like. I like fatter pork, some people like thinner pork, my current ratio is about 4% lean and 6% fat. Chop onion and ginger for later use. Heat the pan with cold oil, add the chopped ginger and onion and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the barbecued pork cubes and continue to stir-fry evenly. Then add appropriate amounts of oyster sauce, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar, salt and a little water in turn, cook until the soup is thick, turn off the heat and let cool." Xue Xiaoxia began to explain.

When the dough is fermented, take it out and put it on the chopping board to knead and release the air, then divide it into small pieces of uniform size. Roll each small piece into a bun skin that is thick in the middle and thin at the edges, put in an appropriate amount of barbecued pork filling, pinch the folds to seal the edges and wrap it up.

将包好的叉烧包放入蒸锅中，再次醒发 15-20 分钟。然后开大火蒸约 15 分钟，关火焖 3-5 分钟即可出锅。

In this way, the delicious barbecued pork buns are ready!

Xue Xiaoxia put the soft, white and plump bun in front of the camera and said, "Does it look good?"

[It looks good, but it's cracked.]

"What do you mean by cracked? This is normal for barbecued pork buns, but the other buns just need to be wrapped well." Many people in the comments did not believe what Xue Xiaoxia said. It was not until those who studied cooking came out to answer their questions that everyone was surprised that what Xue Xiaoxia said was actually true.

[Although I don’t quite understand it, it’s also what’s shown in the book. Why is the bun cracking? But it doesn’t matter since we’ve already steamed it.]

[How should I put it? I find myself getting busier day by day. Every day at 0:, I sing new songs by Xia Xue, in the morning, Xia Kitchen, at noon, Xia Kitchen, at night, Xia Kitchen, and at : in the evening, Xia Hail. Then I repeat the day before, and most importantly, I have to go to work... It's really outrageous.]

"You don't have to be so busy. Your own life is important. Okay, the family members who are drawn today will not be shipped until tomorrow. I'm going out this afternoon so you can have a rest. I won't be open in the evening." Xue Xiaoxia's words made the barrage of comments wail. Xue Xiaoxia didn't care and just turned off the live broadcast and went out to find a place to practice roasting duck.

It is really convenient for Xue Xiaoxia to have a cooking center not far from her home where she can even buy ingredients in the store. Peking duck is a traditional delicacy and it is not a very common dish. This is also the first time Xue Xiaoxia has made it.

Duck, scallion, ginger, pepper, star anise, cinnamon and other seasonings, as well as sweet bean paste, etc. Kill the duck and scald it with boiling water to remove blood and hair; mix salt and five-spice powder evenly and apply it on the inside and outside of the duck, then add scallion, ginger, garlic and other seasonings to marinate for several hours; brush a layer of sugar water or honey water evenly on the surface of the marinated duck, then dry it for later use; put the dried duck into the oven preheated to about 200c and bake it for about 40-50 minutes (the specific time depends on the size of the duck) until the skin is golden and crispy.

Okay, okay, Xue Xiaoxia felt that this really meant that he would not be able to eat the duck today.

[Host, don’t be afraid of being impatient and not being able to eat the hot duck, you are the best! ]

Xue Xiaoxia felt that this system had become more and more adept at flattering people recently. She had complaints but still had to do it. If she marinated a few more ducks, she could still continue in case the ducks were ruined.

Xue Xiaoxia worked hard in the kitchen for three hours before she finished the first one, but she didn't control the heat well and it was a little burnt. It was a bit late today, so Xue Xiaoxia rented a kitchen for two days and could continue to come tomorrow. After the breakfast live broadcast, she came here directly to practice, but the failed products of the practice might need to be eaten by Qiao Qiuqin and others for a few days.

[Host, they are happy to eat it, don't worry! 】

Xue Xiaoxia went home carrying the slightly mushy Peking duck. Qiao Qiuqin and Ren Ruiran were already there.

Xue Xiaoxia was carrying a large bag of things, which were roast duck and roast duck friends. Sweet noodle sauce This is one of the most classic ingredients that can add flavor to roast duck. Scallion shreds can remove the fishy smell and provide a crisp taste. Cucumber strips can neutralize the greasy feeling and bring a refreshing feeling. Garlic paste Some people like to mix garlic paste with other seasonings to add garlic flavor. White sugar For those who like sweets, you can sprinkle some white sugar on the roast duck skin to increase the sweetness. Hawthorn cake The sweet and sour hawthorn cake also adds a special flavor to the roast duck. Pancakes are used to wrap roast duck meat, scallion shreds, cucumbers and other ingredients together, which is more layered.

Of course, the specific ingredients can also be adjusted according to personal taste and preference, and different combinations will bring different taste experiences. Of course, the main reason for preparing so many ingredients is that you don’t know what they like to eat.

Ren Ruiran took photos crazily, "Xia Xia, you are really amazing. This duck is really delicious."

Qiao Qiuqin thought so too. "Brother has a slow music variety show. Do you want to go with us? It's Sister Xiaochun's own resource?"

Xue Xiaoxia was a little confused. What happened?

"You haven't been able to go to work recently, have you? And your sister said that you should stop eating in the summer kitchen and do your main job first. That means you should work in the morning and sing before going to bed at night. Those who go there are all singers. Sister means that all three of us should go." Qiao Qiuqin said but she didn't stop eating.

Xue Xiaoxia thought it was okay, it was just a matter of changing places to rest, there was nothing wrong with that, "Let's go, when?"

"Probably next week when my brother's seventh new song is released, so we can set off right away." Qiao Qiuqin laughed a little as he spoke.

Xue Xiaoxia rolled her eyes at him and said, "You better be careful. What if I become a singer faster than you? How embarrassed would that be?"

Qiao Qiuqin didn't feel hurt at all, but the Peking duck rolled by Ren Ruiran didn't smell good anymore. "Xia Xia, stop scolding, stop scolding, the child is about to cry."

Xue Xiaoxia didn't expect that Qiao Qiuqin was immune to her attack splash and still hurt Ren Ruiran. "I don't mean to hurt you. Don't be afraid. You will be upgraded soon."

Ren Ruiran thought that it was also because of Xia Xue that he was far from upgrading? He looked at the Peking duck roll in his hand and ate the roast duck in his hand.
