Chapter 7: Pan Fried Buns

 

The vegetable market is bustling with people.

Tang Qiaoqiao looked at the dazzling array of ingredients, and her eyes brightened.

Wei Yiqi followed her closely and asked in a low voice, "Sister Qiaoqiao, what are we going to buy?" He was still at a loss as to what they were going to do.

Tang Qiaoqiao: "Do you know how to cook?"

Wei Yiqi shook his head shyly. "I can only make instant noodles." If there is no seasoning pack, he can only eat plain noodles.1

"You can't do this. A man has to learn how to cook so a woman will like you. Today, your sister will give you some kitchen enlightenment."

Wei Yiqi was a little confused. "Oh, good."

【Fuck, I think what Tang Qiaoqiao said is very reasonable. What is the reason why only women would be asked to cook?】

【Yes, my standard for finding a man is to be able to cook】

【Wei Yiqi was completely led by Tang Qiaoqiao. So stupid】

Tang Qiaoqiao and Wei Yiqi went around in the vegetable market and found the grain, oil, and food area.

First, she bought the most basic oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and other condiments and spices. While shopping, she gave Wei Yiqi some tips, "This cooking wine is good. Also, we need sesame oil. These are all necessary, remember?"

"I see." Wei Yiqi suddenly felt like he suddenly got a free lesson and only hated that he didn't bring a notebook with him.

Tang Qiaoqiao: "Boss, give me another 20 kilograms of flour, one packet of yeast, and one packet of baking powder."

"All right." The shopkeeper thoughtfully packed the things Tang Qiaoqiao bought in a large cardboard box. He taped them on the four sides and then wrapped two ropes around the box to be easier to carry.

Tang Qiaoqiao settled the bill. After she put the change in her wallet, she mentioned that they are ready to move on to the next goal.

Wei Yiqi was empty-handed and hurriedly said, "Sister Qiaoqiao, I'll carry it. You can't hold it." But before he finished his sentence, he saw Tang Qiaoqiao easily picked up the carton with one hand.

Tang Qiaoqiao's gaze slowly moved from Wei Yiqi's somewhat bewildered face to her hand carrying the cardboard box.

Why she moved her hand so fast? She completely forgot that there are 20 kilograms of flour in the carton, and various bottles and cans, which add up to at least 30 kilograms.

She rolled her eyes and suddenly staggered. The carton fell heavily on the ground.

"No wonder I feel so laborious to carry it. It's too heavy."

Wei Yiqi: " Yes, it's better to leave this kind of physical work to me. I am a man. A charming girl like you can't handle it."

"Right, right, I'm a pretty and weak girl." Tang Qiaoqiao became excited and quickly recovered from her embarrassment. She said with a thumbs up, "You could see people very clearly, very good."

Wei Yiqi didn't understand why she praised him, but he was praised, so he smiled shyly.

Then Tang Qiaoqiao went to buy ten kilograms of pork belly. She especially selected the 30% fat and 70% lean meat and asked the boss to grind them into two big rolls of minced meat. Then she also asked for some pork leg bones.

Then the two of them had another round in the vegetable market and bought some miscellaneous things.

Tang Qiaoqiao looked around the market, and finally pointed to a place and said, "There is still one thing missing, let's go there."

Finally, the two people finished shopping and stood at the gate of the vegetable market, with big and small bags at their feet. They had a good harvest.

Wei Yiqi gasped, "How do we go back?" He couldn't carry so many things all the way to their stall.

Tang Qiaoqiao: "Take a car."

"But do we still have money?"

Tang Qiaoqiao flipped through her wallet and took out the only remaining banknote, "Only ten yuans left."

"If we take a taxi, it won't even be enough for the starting fee. "Wei Yiqi turned towards the cameraman and looked at him pitifully. "Can I borrow some money?"

The cameraman shook his head in principle.

Tang Qiaoqiao cast her gaze on a tricycle at the entrance of a store not far away, with an uncle sitting next to him enjoying the cool breeze.

She ran over and smiled sweetly at the uncle. "Uncle, does your tricycle deliver goods?"

The uncle looked up at a beautiful young girl in a pink dress and said, "Usually I can deliver it, but I was hurt the day before yesterday. So I can't ride now."

"Then, can I ride it by myself? I'm not a liar. We're recording the show. I have a cameraman. Our restaurant is only two blocks away. If you don't believe me, you can follow us and take a look. It's just that I only have ten yuans now. I will pay you after I make money, okay?"

The uncle smiled heartily, "You young girl doesn't need to explain so much. You can use it as you like. Is this tricycle something people would cheat? Don't mention the money, just return it to me after you used it."

Tang Qiaoqiao smiled until her eyes turned into a crescent shape. "Thank you, uncle. You can visit us later when you have time. I will invite you to eat delicious food."

Wei Yiqi was guarding their things in place and soon saw Tang Qiaoqiao riding a tricycle back.

He was pleasantly surprised. "Sister Qiaoqiao, you can still ride a tricycle! I can't do it."

Tang Qiaoqiao flicked the bangs on her forehead and thought, 'I can't, but the original owner can.'

Wei Yiqi quickly put the things on the cart one by one and then sat down with the cameraman.

Tang Qiaoqiao suddenly turned her head and asked, "Will it seem that I am not so charming if I ride a tricycle?"

Wei Yiqi: ???

He thought seriously for a few seconds and said, "It shouldn't matter."

"That's good," Tang Qiaoqiao nodded in satisfaction and waved her hand, "Let's go."

【Those little question marks are showing on his face! He is just like children】

【Wei Yiqi is simply a heart-warming little angel. Tang Qiaoqiao asked, and he answered】1

【Does Tang Qiaoqiao want to create a little cute and charming character now? This is so good to watch】

【I don't think so. Although she said that, she did everything from the beginning to the end. Looking for stores to buy things and borrowing tricycles. She was very much like a duck in the water】

【A female celebrity rode a three-wheeled tricycle on the street. Very excited, I suddenly see Tang Qiaoqiao's cuteness】

【I came in late. Why did they ride a tricycle? Hhhh, Zhou Meng's stuff was delivered by a high-end delivery car】

【This combo of elementary school chicken is so simple and unpretentious. Aaaa, it's over】

When Tang Qiaoqiao and the others returned to the restaurant, the other two groups had already returned.

Wang Qiang and Xiao Ke discussed for a long time and finally decided to sell milk tea. Milk tea has a small cost and a big profit, and they have a full set of beverage-making equipment, which is easy to operate.

Zhou Meng chose to make sushi. She once studied in Japan and has a little bit of research on sushi. She and Hu Miao used their extensive celebrity contacts to buy a batch of Japanese ingredients from suppliers at extremely favorable prices.

Anyway, the program team doesn't care what method the guests use to obtain ingredients, as long as they don't overspend.

Zhou Meng was handling salmon gracefully. Seeing Tang Qiaoqiao coming back on a tricycle, and also took down a lot of messy, black, and red bags. She continued to cut the fish and thought in disdain, 'She really was a dumpling from the country.'

Wei Yiqi was a little anxious. "Sister Qiaoqiao, they all already started."

Tang Qiaoqiao said with a calm face, "No need to rush. Come on, put on your clothes first."

The last thing she went to buy was two sets of chef clothes. She wants to have a sense of sacredness when working in a restaurant kitchen, so chef clothes are essential.

Well, in fact, she mainly doesn't want the oil fume to stain her beautiful dress.

Tang Qiaoqiao put all her hair inside the white chef hat carefully, showing only her pretty face. Wei Yiqi was originally looked very tender, but after putting on a full set of chef uniforms, he became more mature inexplicably.

【Sisters, they looked like professionals on screen!】

【Tang Qiaoqiao's whole face is so beautiful, I hate it】

【I'm suddenly subdued. I like it】

【Tang Qiaoqiao and Wei Yiqi have a sense of CP】

【Don't be arrogant, but you're right.】

【I have to weakly say I thought so too】

After Tang Qiaoqiao tidied up the kitchen, she started to work. What she was going to make were pan-fried buns and hot pepper soup.

She directed Wei Yiqi to wash the ingredients, then blanched the pork bones in a pot and rinsed it under cold water. Finally, she added green onions and ginger to the pot to start the soup.

While the pork bones were boiling in the soup, she poured out some flour and then added yeast, baking powder, sugar, and cooked lard. After that, she added water and kneaded the dough.

Tang Qiaoqiao's strength is accurate. She quickly polished, battered, and kneaded a large white and fat dough. Then she set it aside with cling wrap film covering the dough.

Then she started to process the fillings for the pan-fried buns without stopping.

She added light soy sauce, pepper, ground ginger, a little salt, and MSG to the minced pork belly, mixed it well, then add sesame oil and water. She stirred in one direction to make the sesame oil and water completely penetrate the meat. Finally, she added the chopped green onion and stirred again. The meat filling will taste tender and chewy.

At this time, the dough is ready. She rolled them into strips, then pull them into a round shape. She pressed it into a uniformly sized wrapping, put the stuffing on, and started to fold the buns.

Tang Qiaoqiao's technique is very skillful. Each bun has no more than 12 pleats.

Wei Yiqi watched Tang Qiaoqiao folded so many good-looking buns in a few seconds, and his eyes were straightened. "Sister Qiaoqiao, you are amazing."

Tang Qiaoqiao kept moving her hands, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"Do you want to try?"
