rebirth from small pockets

Originally, Chen Li wanted to come and make friends with Huang Sanshi and at the same time have a taste of Huang Xiaochu's cooking.

Although the cooking skills of Chef Huang in his previous life have been recognized by many people on the Internet, many people still have doubts.

Many people don't quite believe that as a star, Chef Huang's cooking skills can really be great.

But to be honest, this is actually a misunderstanding.

As someone who also likes to cook, Chen Li knows the ropes very well.

It’s true~ It’s not possible for Chef Huang to be as delicious as he shows in variety shows.

After all, human energy is limited! Even those chefs are generally proficient in only one cuisine, let alone a star like Chef Huang.

But if we really want to say that Huang Sanshi's cooking skills are poor, then that is definitely not the case.

Just like Chen Li, the dishes he usually cooks are not necessarily up to the level of those star chefs, but they are at least up to the level of a fly restaurant in Sichuan Province.

Don't think this is being modest. In fact, considering the quality of fly restaurants in Sichuan Province, this is already a compliment.

But this premise is the dishes that Chen Li is good at.

So apart from those few dishes, doesn’t Chen Li know how to cook other dishes?

of course not!

In fact, after "reluctantly" learning cooking skills, you will find that people like Chen Li and Huang Sanshi who know how to cook are easier to learn other dishes than ordinary people.

Not even some! Every time Chen Li learns a new dish, he basically follows the recipe and makes it almost the same the first time, but the taste may not be that good.

Everyone must understand a concept, that is, the "rollover" in the cognition of people who can cook and the "rollover" in the cognition of ordinary people are two different concepts.

Just like Chen Li, after basically making a dish two or three times, I can’t say how delicious it is, but I can definitely make it not taste bad.

Don’t underestimate the fact that it’s not unpalatable. If you don’t know how to cook, it might be difficult for you to make it.

For those who cook, as long as they take a look at the recipe, they will basically know the recipe in their mind.

But for people who don’t know how to cook, they probably can’t even understand the recipe.

Especially for Chinese-style recipes, those measurement units such as a few and a few are not understandable by novice cooks.

Even if the recipe is based on measurement units, who would buy an electronic scale at home just for cooking?

Even if the unit of measurement is correct, the control of the heat, the time of adding seasonings, and even the way of stirring the food will affect the taste of the food.

And these are not things that can be learned just by reading recipes.

This thing depends on experience!

For people who can cook, these things can be said to be at their fingertips, but for kitchen novices, the food they cook is considered good if they can be eaten.

Therefore, Chen Li knew very well that Chef Huang's cooking skills in the variety show in his previous life were definitely not bad, and at least he was considered a good hand among cooking enthusiasts.

Of course, in that program, He Jiong's performance was somewhat exaggerated. But that should be a testament to the effectiveness of the program and the years of friendship between him and Huang Sanshi.

To put it bluntly, this guy has eaten more than a thousand meals cooked by Huang Sanshi. It is probably instinctive to praise Huang Sanshi's cooking skills.

And people who can’t cook will actually subconsciously praise the meals cooked by those who can cook.

Chen Li used to be praised by many people for his cooking, especially those who didn't know how to cook. It would be much more harmful to praise him than to be embarrassed.

It's just that those guys didn't have a simple purpose in praising Chen Li. They were hoping that Chen Li would do it for them again next time!

Only people with low emotional intelligence would say that the food cooked by others is unpalatable.

Not to mention that it was still on a variety show, and only fools would say that other people's cooking is not delicious.

There are so many people praising it, and because of the program's effectiveness, naturally some people doubt whether this is true.

But Chen Li could tell at a glance that Huang Sanshi was definitely a person who knew how to cook.

So~ he really wanted to try the cooking skills of this little chef Huang.

It's just a pity that Chen Li chose an inappropriate time.

Huang Sanshi, who was born in 1999, can only be regarded as a beginner in the field of cooking. He has just surpassed the level of a novice.

Therefore, it is naturally unrealistic to want to taste the craftsmanship of future Chef Huang at this time.

So the chef for this meal ended up being Chen Li.

If it were an ordinary person, Huang Sanshi might not let Chen Li cook.

But as a cooking enthusiast, Huang Sanshi was very interested in communicating with Chen Li about cooking.

"This chicken~is a specialty of our chicken farm."

"It can be said that you can't find another one in China!"

"Oh~ so powerful?"

"It's true, I can testify. The chefs are queuing up to buy the chickens raised by Xiaoli, but there are too few of them, so it's hard to eat them."

In the kitchen, Chen Li and Huang Sanshi were chatting while cooking, and there was an idle He Jiong beside them who was "adding fuel to the fire".

"I'm not bragging. You'll know after you taste it."

"This chicken is best suited for stew."

"Here is a medicinal package prepared by our farmhouse chef and Chinese medicine practitioner. You can think of it as medicinal food, but the taste is much better than ordinary medicinal food."

"The most important thing is that the taste of stewed chicken will be worse."

"I know it will be thicker and not as tender."

Huang Sanshi now knows a little bit about cooking, so he can easily understand what Chen Li said.

"Hmm~ But our ideal chicken will be especially tender after being stewed."

"And the most important thing is that this chicken does not require such complicated operations at all, and even a novice can do it."

"If it's other chicken, I suggest blanch it first to remove the fishy smell~ But you don't need to do it with ideal chicken, because the fishy smell of ideal chicken is very small."

“If you want to drink clear chicken soup, you just need to wash it off”

".!"

This meal was made very quickly. Originally, the ideal chicken needs to be simmered for more than two hours, but due to time constraints, I used a pressure cooker to stew the chicken soup this time.

The chicken soup simmered in the pressure cooker is a bit inferior to the chicken soup simmered slowly over low heat. Fortunately, the quality of the ideal chicken is there, so when the pressure cooker started to be used, the rental house in Huang Sanshi was already full of people.

Fragrant.

In addition to the excellent meat quality and rich nutrition, the biggest feature of ideal chicken is its "flavor".

That rich "chicken" aroma makes people know that this is definitely a good chicken as soon as they smell it!

At first, some people even thought that there was something added to the ideal chicken, otherwise this kind of aroma would not be produced by ordinary native chicken.

"It smells so good~!" Huang Sanshi's girlfriend almost smelled the smell and entered the kitchen.

"It really smells good~ Xiaoli~ How long will it take?"

He Yan, who had been staying at the door of the kitchen without moving, swallowed his saliva. He had eaten Ideal Chicken several times, but he still couldn't resist the taste.

Most people have a hard time resisting the taste of native chicken soup, let alone the chicken soup made from Ideal Chicken.

"Why are you so anxious? When this big plate of chicken is ready, you can eat."

Chen Li rolled his eyes. When it came to cooking, the help He Juan could provide was really limited.

The only thing he can do is probably give verbal praise.

Originally he could do some work of peeling garlic and washing onions, but unfortunately today this job was also taken over by Chef Huang.

"Hey~ Did you forget to make this rice? I have to go and stuff the rice quickly."

At this time, Chef Huang discovered an important problem. The staple food hadn’t been cooked yet!

"No need~ You have noodles!"

"After finishing this big plate of chicken, I'll cook some noodles~it tastes very good too."

"Actually, I was supposed to make crotch noodles, but I found it too troublesome!"

It wasn't that Chen Li really disliked the trouble. The main reason was that he originally wanted to taste Chef Huang's cooking, but ended up cooking by himself. The feeling of disparity in his heart made him too lazy to move.

"That's right~ This big plate of chicken with noodles must be delicious!"

Huang Lei nodded in agreement.

He Juan on the side also nodded. He had eaten a large plate of chicken with noodles, and it tasted delicious!

"There are few of us today, so I only used half a chicken for each dish."

"I'll put the rest in the refrigerator for you. If you want to eat chicken later, just call me."

"I'll have someone bring it to you when the time comes!"

Chen Li said casually that Huang Sanshi didn't think it was a big deal yet. After all, he was a star and a university teacher. With his income, it was totally okay to be a local chicken.

"Okay~ If I need to buy chickens at home from now on, I will call you!"

“But even if it’s a gift, I’ll just buy it!”

Huang Sanshi saw what Chen Lili said, so he hurriedly said:

"Don't refuse~ We are friends, but we still have to give the money~ One code is one code!"

"I said, Lao He, why are you pulling my clothes?"

In the middle of Huang Sanshi's words, he noticed that He Juan was tugging on his clothes. Summer clothes were originally loose, but with He Juan's tug, the collar of his clothes was tightening around his neck.

When Huang Sanshi said this, Chen Li naturally noticed He Juan's little moves, which made He Juan feel awkward and didn't know what to say.

"Haha~ Just buy it!"

"Teacher Huang~ Even though you are a teacher, you are still a few years older than me."

"But I think we are quite compatible, so I think we can be friends."

"Between friends, we don't talk about money. Talking about money hurts feelings!"

"And this home-raised chicken is not worth much."

"By the way~ Do you have a big bowl at home? A big plate will do too?"

Chen Li opened the lid of the pot and found that the large plate of chicken was ready, so he started seasoning and said casually.

"It's a big bowl~Yes~Yes!"

"But you still have to pay for the chicken money, one code equals one code!"

"This does not affect our relationship!"

"And I also think we are very compatible. I plan to ask you for some cooking skills in the future!"

"Speaking of which, does your family own a restaurant?"

"Looking at your age, you are quite good at cooking!"

As Huang Lei talked, he planned to get the bowl, but as soon as he left, he found that his clothes were still being dragged by He Yan.

At this moment, He Yan's eyes turned white with a look of helplessness on his face.

Especially when Chen Li said just now that the chicken was raised by his own family and was not worth much, He Ji'an rolled his eyes to the maximum.

God knows how Chen Li had the nerve to say this!

You must know that nowadays this ideal chicken is not just in short supply!

Because of the dining habits of Chinese people, local chicken has always been in short supply.

Everyone knows that native chicken is a good thing. As long as the price is not outrageous, some wealthy people will naturally choose to enjoy it better.

Therefore, the price of local chickens today has increased a lot compared to the previous prices.

Especially in cities, because unlike in rural areas, every household can raise chickens, so the price naturally goes up.

However, this kind of increase is actually a normal increase, and those with slightly better family conditions can basically afford it.

It's just that native chicken is harder to buy, and the "local chicken" that can be bought at any time in the vegetable market is definitely not authentic native chicken.

Of course, although it is difficult to buy native chickens, Chen Li is the one who runs a chicken farm after all.

If Chen Li raised ordinary native chickens, that would be fine, but the problem is that this ideal chicken is not an ordinary native chicken at all.

He Yan knows how popular the ideal chickens raised by Chen Li are now.

He relied on people and connections to help Chen Li get an autograph, but in the end he only dared to ask Chen Li for two chickens.

In fact, although he asked for two at the time, his actual expectation was that it would be great to get one.

After all, he was giving it away, and he knew very well that Chen Li's ideal chicken was now hard to come by.

Chickens are hard to come by. This is not only reflected in the lack of chickens, but also because the chickens are expensive!

A serving of local chicken soup costs 328 yuan. Although some Chinese medicinal materials are added to it, they are only supplementary ingredients and the price is not expensive.

What really makes the price of this local chicken soup soar is the ideal chicken itself.

Usually when chicken farms sell ideal chickens, they don't look at weight or size, but by individual.

According to the standards of chicken farms, the selling price of an ideal chicken is 200 yuan!

Just this amount~ Even if Huang Lei’s conditions are good, it doesn’t mean he can accept this price.

Huang Lei is indeed a star, but in fact he has only acted in a few dramas and released one album.

Moreover, the domestic entertainment industry these days is far less developed than it was later, and the income of celebrities is actually just that.

Although you will definitely earn more than ordinary people working part-time, it is definitely not outrageous.

As for his status as a university teacher, well~ the income of a university teacher these days is just that.

Of course, chicken cannot be eaten every day, and that is not what He Jiong is worried about.

He just wanted to tell Huang Sanshi something in advance to avoid any misunderstandings when Huang Sanshi really had to pay.

When Chen Li said he wanted to sell chickens, and Huang Sanshi took out fifty yuan, what do you think Chen Li would think?

So He Yan waited until Huang Sanshi handed the bowl to Chen Li, then dragged Huang Sanshi out of the kitchen and told him about the incident.

Then Huang Sanshi rushed into the kitchen with a surprised look on his face. As he entered the kitchen, a curse word came out.

"Fuck~ This chicken is so expensive?"
