Chapter 19: Stewed Fish with Corn Pancake
"Only these?"
Zhou Meng's face showed a trace of disgust. She had rushed to this small village regardless of wind and dust. She is hungry but had to cook dinner by herself, and the program team only provided such things?!
There is only one bighead carp on the chopping board, a piece of pork, four tomatoes, a few eggs, and a bag of cornmeal. There are also some green onions, ginger, and garlic scattered around the chopping board.
Zhou Meng: "Are these things enough for six adults to eat for two days?"
Director: "This is only for tonight. Tomorrow you have to find the ingredients by yourself."
Sure enough, the routine of the program group.
Wei Yiqi suggested, "Let Sister Qiaoqiao do it. She cooks delicious dishes."
"Agree, I also want to try Tang Qiaoqiao's cooking skills." Hu Miao followed up. "Oh, Zhou Meng, why are you stepping on me?" Hu Miao just finished speaking, and his feet suddenly hurt.
Zhou Meng's teeth were tickled with anger. Can Hu Miao look at the situation? Aren't they partners? If they give it all to Chef Tang Qiaoqiao, won't all the shots go to her?
Zhou Meng: "How can you make Tang Qiaoqiao a meal for six people? How tiring? I think it's better to cook it separately. If no one else knows how to cook, Tang Qiaoqiao and I will cook our own dishes. Then we can eat together and save time."
"Okay." Tang Qiaoqiao doesn't care. If Zhou Meng is willing to cook it all, she is also willing to let her.
Tang Qiaoqiao agreed, so Wei Yiqi had no objection.
"I want pork, tomatoes, and eggs." Zhou Meng moved quickly and took the lead in choosing the ingredients she wanted. The bighead carp was not even cleaned off from its scales. It looked fishy, so let Tang Qiaoqiao have it.
"Then I'll have bighead carp and cornmeal."
"Can I use the kitchen in the east? I don't know how to use the earthen stove. Of course, if you mind, we can take turns." Zhou Meng said in a deliberate tone to arrange everything.
The farmer's house borrowed by the program group have two kitchens. One might be built when the house was first built. It is an old-style kitchen using earthen stoves. The other kitchen is using liquefied petroleum gas.
Tang Qiaoqiao: "It doesn't matter."
'That's it? That's it?'
Tang Qiaoqiao was so cooperative. It immediately made Zhou Meng felt like she hit a cotton ball with every punch. She worked hard on her own, but this feeling of weakness was uncomfortable.
【To tell the truth, Zhou Meng expressed her anger on the outside. Why let her choose first?】
【Qiao Qiao is so easy to talk to. She let Zhou Meng go in everything. She is good】
【But Zhou Meng is indeed a kid who grew up in the city. She will not know how to use a clay stove. It is normal. People, be kind. Netizens take care of your own things】
【If you don't know how to use it, go and learn. Why does everyone have to accommodate Miss Zhou when they are recording the show? Is she so noble?】
Tang Qiaoqiao went to the west kitchen with chubby fish and cornmeal. Wei Yiqi felt very wronged. "Sister Qiao Qiao, why don't you fight for it?"
Tang Qiaoqiao glanced at him strangely. "What am I fighting for? I originally wanted the bighead carp."
"At first glance, this bighead carp looks wild, so the meat is very tender. It should weigh six or seven pounds. It is most suitable for making stewed fish with corn pancakes."
"The stewed fish with corn pancakes are the most delicious when it is cooked in a big iron wok. Even if Zhou Meng doesn't tell me, I will use this kitchen."
"It turns out to be like this." Wei Yiqi laughed when he heard this.
"You help me maintain the fire."
Tang Qiaoqiao put on her apron as usual and rolled her hair inside her hat.
She added yeast powder to the cornmeal, used warm water to form a dough, set it aside for a few minutes.
She neatly cleaned the fish by cutting the scales, sliced it open, and chopped it into two pieces. After the fish was cut with a knife, she marinated it with cooking wine, green onion, and ginger.
After heating the oil in the pan, she fried the fish. The big iron wok in the farmhouse is big enough and convenient to turn over such a big fish without being cramped.
After frying the fish skin until it is slightly curly and golden in color, she removed the fish. Then, she stirred-fry the onion, ginger, garlic, dried chili, star anise, and other condiments with the remaining oil in the pan. Then she added some bean paste, so the taste would be more mellow.
After the aroma comes out, she put the fish in the pot, added water, cooking wine, soy sauce, sugar, etc., then covered the pot and let it simmer.
Next, Tang Qiaoqiao pulled off a small piece of corn dough, rubbed it gently in her palm, and then evenly stretched it outwards into a palm-sized rectangular pancake and pasted it along the edge of the pan.
Once the yellow-orange cornmeal pancakes are pasted around the side of the pan, it is very beautiful.
Last, just let it simmer for 15 minutes.
At the same time, Zhou Meng is also actively cooking her braised pork. After the show's first episode, she found that the Japanese food she made was not very popular. She went back to learn a few classic Chinese dishes. She did not believe that she was better than Tang Qiaoqiao.
This time she didn't expect Shen Liang to come to the show. Although she and Tang Rou are good friends, she doesn't have much contact with Shen Liang. However, she believes that he will definitely support her because she is his girlfriend's friend. Mao Li is Shen Liang's partner. They had several encounters at awards parties before, so she should not reject her.
Hu Miao had an empty stomach for a long time, and he couldn't cook. He was bored and wanted to come over to check on Zhou Meng. When he walked to the kitchen, he suddenly smelled a strong fragrance.
"It smells so good."
Zhou Meng said with a complacent look. "You are hungry? My specialty pork belly will be ready soon."
"No, it's the smell of fish," Hu Miao sniffed his nose vigorously. The scent made his saliva was overflowing. "It must be from Tang Qiaoqiao. I'll take a look."
Before Zhou Meng could stop him, he ran out like a whirlwind.
"It's delicious, ha, it's so delicious." Wei Yiqi panted because of the heat, but he couldn't wait to stuff the stewed fish into his mouth.
The stewed fish is extremely soft. It is fresh and tender, without the slightest smell, and has a mellow taste. Half of the corn pancakes are grilled until it was crispy, and half are soaked in the thick fish soup. The two flavors are wonderfully blended together, which is truly amazing.
As soon as Tang Qiaoqiao opened the pot, she couldn't help but taste it with Wei Yiqi. She took a sip of the delicious fish soup and then completely soaked a pancake in the soup.
'Ah, satisfaction!'

All the hard work of the day disappeared without a trace at this moment.
【The fried chicken in my hand suddenly doesn't taste good. I want to eat stewed fish with corn pancakes too! 】
【When I was a child, I ate this stewed fish in my hometown in Northeast China. Suddenly I missed my grandma. Qiaoqiao, are you still lacks assistants? I don't need a salary, just take care of my food】
【Tang Qiaoqiao, do you want a little girl complete with her bags? Just give me the food Qiaoqiao cooks】
"What are you eating?" When Tang Qiaoqiao was eating happily, suddenly a blue skirt appeared in front of her. When she looked up, her gaze met Mao Li's exquisite face.
"I came here after I smelled the scent, don't worry about me." Mao Li still had a cold face, but her scorching eyes looking at the pot were a bit familiar.
It was exactly the same kind of gaze as when she was shaking hands with her.
Tang Qiaoqiao swallowed the pancakes and said, "This is the stewed fish with corn pancakes. It's just finished. Would you like to try it?"
"Okay." Mao Li quickly replied. She and consciously picked up a bowl on the table.
She took a large piece of fish from the iron pan, scooped a bowl of fresh soup, and picked up a piece of pancake.
They are eating the same thing. How could she still be so elegant and feminine in the act of fishing for food? Tang Qiaoqiao, who has always wanted to be a beautiful woman, really admires her. She really wants to worship her as a teacher.
Mao Li took a sip of the soup, and her eyes lit up. Then she ate fish and pancakes clean.
She ate quickly, with graceful posture, without any disorder at all.
"It's delicious." Mao Li exclaimed in a serious tone, looking at Tang Qiaoqiao with her eyes sparkling.
Tang Qiaoqiao grinned. "Thank you."
【Fuck, why is it suddenly smell like orange?】
[T/N: The term "smell of orange" refers to a Yuri manga called "Citrus" and is used to describe two girls being intimate together.]
【The first time I saw Movie Queen Mao exaggerated expression. It was very serious and cute hahaha】
【Mao Li looked at Tang Qiaoqiao as if she was looking at delicious food. She is no doubt a foodie】
"Okay, you guys are stealing food."
When Hu Miao ran to the kitchen, he saw Tang Qiaoqiao and others holding a bowl, eating happily. He yelled dissatisfiedly, "I want it too."
Seeing another person came, Mao Li said, "I want another bowl."
The iron wok couldn't be carried away, so the four of them simply stood in the kitchen and feasted.
The director was puzzled. It's so delicious that they can't wait to eat?
Wei Yiqi ate and ate, but then he suddenly remembered. "Would you like to call Zhou Meng and Shen Liang?"
"No need to call. They are going to come here anyway." Hu Miao waved his hand. He would be a fool if he couldn't tell that Zhou Meng doesn't like Tang Qiaoqiao.
It's better if they didn't come. It would save two people who would grab fish from him.
Over there, Zhou Meng and Shen Liang sat face to face, facing a large pot of braised pork and tomato and egg soup. She never expected that Hu Miao and Mao Li would turn to Tang Qiaoqiao.
Shen Liang felt like he was chewing wax. He felt really overwhelmed to participate in this show. What was even more frightening was that he also smelled that tempting fish scent. The braised pork in front of him did not attract his interest at all, but he would not go to eat Tang Qiaoqiao's meal even if he was killed.
He is not that cheap.
Zhou Mengming tried to enliven the atmosphere. "How does it taste?"
Shen Liang twitched his lips. "It's not bad."
"Then eat more." Zhou Meng pushed the braised pork to his side.
Shen Liang didn't make a sound. His chopsticks gently pulled some rice.
In the live broadcast chat room:
【God, it's the first time I saw such an embarrassing scene in a variety show】
【Shen Liang just look like he couldn't eat anymore】
【Shen Liang brother, if you don't want to eat, don't eat it. Go eat fish. They eat it so happily】
【Zhou Meng and Shen Liang don't want to see Tang Qiaoqiao. How can they both eat her food?】

【This show is so real. It's better than those shows where the celebrities pretend to have a good relationship in front of the camera】
【Zhou Meng obviously not looking at the dishes. She has never had a good face to Tang Qiaoqiao and Wei Yiqi】
...
After eating, everyone washes and prepares to go to bed afterward.
Tang Qiaoqiao was lying on the bed by the window. She looked at the bright moon in the sky, strangely thinking of the arrogant cat at home, wondering if he had dinner on time today.
She turned on the phone, turned to Shen Yue's WeChat, and typed to send.
"Are you asleep?"
---
In the villa.
When the WeChat arrived, Shen Yue was also in his dark bedroom, looking at the moon outside the window.
He looked at the message, his eyes gloomy.
"Nonsense. If I'm asleep, will the ghost reply?"
Familiar tone.
Tang Qiaoqiao pursed the corners of her mouth slightly and asked, "Have you eaten today? The vegetables I grow have to be eaten every day. It is good for your legs."
Shen Yue: "Are you my mom?"
Aunt Wang cook it, but he didn't take a few bites.
Tang Qiaoqiao: "Have you watched my show?"
Shen Yue: "Am I very free?"
He wouldn't say that because he watched the show, he was so angry that he didn't eat a few mouthfuls for dinner. How could that shameless Shen Liang also on it?
Tang Qiaoqiao: "I made stewed fish with corn pancakes. They are delicious, but unfortunately, you have no good fortune."
Shen Yue: "Did you message me to irritate me at night?"
Tang Qiaoqiao: "A proper qi will help promote blood circulation."
Shen Yue: "It seems that I am like that in your eyes."
Tang Qiaoqiao: "Tongue out.gif. There is still a task tomorrow. I'm sleeping. Good night."
Shen Yue looked at the words "Goodnight" on the phone, his eyes softened subconsciously.
