Chapter 46: Honeycomb Corn Kernels


Tang Qiaoqiao didn't know that her image had been upgraded from a King Kong Barbie in the hearts of netizens. She, Xu Yuyi, Wei Yiqi, and the cameraman ran all the way out of the crow's revenge circle.

Xu Yuyi, who had fallen behind, had been "air-bombed" several times by the crows. He wailed with a bitter face, "I hate crows."

Tang Qiaoqiao comforted him with a serious face, "You are sacrificing your ego and protecting everyone."

Wei Yiqi also teased him, "Yes, Brother Yu Yi. I will always remember your selfless dedication."

Xu Yuyi patted his head with anger, "Little kid, you just ran so joyously. Why don't you think of blocking it for your brother?" He didn't dare to do this to Tang Qiaoqiao, so he could only attack the younger Wei Yiqi.

Wei Yiqi hid behind Tang Qiaoqiao, poked his head out behind her, and smiled. "It's useless for me to block. The crow was looking for you."

"Damn it, don't hide." Xu Yuyi and Wei Yiqi circled Tang Qiaoqiao. Tang Qiaoqiao looked helpless, looking at them as three-year-old kids.

The three of them continued to make their way towards the destination. There was not much time left until the time set by the program group.

After walking for a while, they met the other group halfway through.

Guo Bao, Zhang Yang, and Wang Xing'er also took a rest at another supply point for the night, but they were not as lucky as Tang Qiaoqiao. They only found some wild vegetables and cooked them in a soup to satisfy their hunger in the evening. They woke up in the morning and has not eaten anything yet. Wang Xing'er was still limping, holding a stick with vacant eyes.

However, when they met Tang Qiaoqiao and her party, the expressions on their faces were very wonderful.

They were so embarrassed, but the three people of Tang Qiaoqiao's group were still in high spirits. Their clothes were still similar to when they came in.

What's even more annoying is that all three of Tang Qiaoqiao's group are holding a thick sugar cane in their hands and chewing hard.

They encountered a cluster of wild sugarcane on the road, and the juice was extremely sweet. They broke a few, gnawed it, and spit out the scum. They didn't have to worry about the garbage sorting problem. It was really wonderful.

Guo Bao looked enviously at the crisp sugarcane in their mouths. He could even hear the sound of swallowing.

Why didn't they find wild sugarcane?

He pursed his dry lips, smiled, and asked, "Can we exchange some sugarcane with you?"

He was also embarrassed to ask for their things for nothing.

Xu Yuyi asked loudly, "What do you want to exchange?"

Zhang Yang: "We can use salt to exchange." This was what they found at the supply point.

"Salt?" Xu Yuyi and Wei Yiqi looked at each other and smiled, "We have chili powder, pepper powder, and five-spice powder here. Would you like it?"

Guo Baohe and Zhang Yang looked surprised.

"It's not fair!" Wang Xing'er called out, "Why did your supply points have so many things?"

Xu Yuyi whistling back to her. "Miss, you are mistaken. This is not from the supply point. This is our thing."

Wang Xing'er laughed sarcastically, "Then where did it come from? Don't tell me that it was picked up by the roadside."

"Sister Qiaoqiao brought it herself." Wei Yiqi said.

"Tang Qiaoqiao brought it?" Wang Xing'er frowned, "How can she bring so many things? Isn't it stipulated that we can only bring one thing? This is an obvious foul play. I have to ask the show team to explain."

【Wang Xing'er really still holds grudges. The moment she saw Tang Qiaoqiao, she was yin and yang weird】

【She couldn't see the rest of the show. She didn't know what Tang Qiaoqiao was bringing】

"It's this thing." Xu Yuyi patted Tang Qiaoqiao and asked her to show it to the questioning party. 'Take a look at this eldest sister.'

Tang Qiaoqiao was originally standing aside and immersed in gnawing sugarcane. Sugarcane is something that she usually eats, but once it is gnawed, she became addicted, just like eating melon seeds.

Wang Xing'er suspected that she was cheating, so she didn't want to talk nonsense. She showed Wang Xing'er her treasured spice jar directly.

Wang Xing'er's expression is so ugly. Why would anyone go to the wilderness would think about bringing this kind of thing?

Tang Qiaoqiao is really weird.

However, Wang Xing'er was even more jealous when she heard Xu Yuyi describing how they ate spicy grilled fish, turtle soup with bamboo fungus, vine pepper rabbit, etc. along the way.

She hadn't had a good meal for the whole day. Her stomach was so hungry that she had a faint cramp, but they were eating and drinking delicious food.

She and Tang Qiaoqiao are really not suitable to meet each other.

However, she could only whine to herself secretly because she was warned not to trouble Tang Qiaoqiao.

After Guo Bao knew that Tang Qiaoqiao didn't need salt, he smiled bitterly, "Then we really have nothing to exchange with you."

Tang Qiaoqiao spit out a mouthful of sugarcane, took some sugarcane from behind her, and generously handed it to Guo Bao, "You can have this section of sugarcane, you guys."

Guo Bao laughed. "It's so nice of you."

Tang Qiaoqiao smiled. "Senior Guo, I heard a lot about you. I hope I will have the opportunity to learn from you."

Guo Bao smiled, "It's simple. I will send you a ticket when I have a performance."

Now that both groups have joined together, they go on the road together. The task does not require them to arrive first to win.

The final destination set by the program group was outside the forest. They gradually walked out of the dense forest.

As soon as they stepped out of the woods, their eyes suddenly opened up. At that moment, they felt that their breathing became much smoother.

They walked for more than half an hour, passing by a large cornfield. It is now the harvest season of corn. The corn stalks are more than two meters tall, thick and strong, and the corn stalks are bending down heavily.

Xu Yuyi wanted to pick some but was stopped by Tang Qiaoqiao.

"This is not wild."

Xu Yuyi has always been scornful, "Just take two to have a taste. It is not much. We won't be discovered."

'The live audience is looking at you. Isn't it called being discovered?'

Tang Qiaoqiao: "It's stealing if you are not telling the owner."

Guo Bao echoed, "Tang Qiaoqiao is right. We can't just touch other people's things."

The two people spoke so seriously, so Xu Yuyi also dispelled his thought.

Perhaps it was the noise of a group of people that disturbed the owner. An old grandfather and a little girl emerged from the cornfield.

Tang Qiaoqiao stepped forward and asked, "Grandpa, is this your cornfield?"

The grandpa smiled. "Yes."

"It looks very good. It seems that you will have a good harvest this year."

The grandpa smiled, but it became a bit bitter. "A good harvest is useless. I can't sell it anyway."

Wei Yiqi asked curiously, "Why?"

"The output is too much, and the price is too low when sold." The old man sighed.

This sentence from the old man suddenly made the atmosphere heavy. No one thought that such good corn would not bring joy to the owner.

The old man turned around and broke five or six big corns and sent them to Tang Qiaoqiao's arms, with a simple smile on his face.

"Try these."

【Grandpa is so good】

【Why sell it at a low price? The corn here is so expensive. I will buy it】

Tang Qiaoqiao looked sad. This grandpa was busy all year round for the cornfield, but now he has to sell it at a low price or even can't sell it.

She broke open one corn, grabbed a few grains, and threw it into her mouth. It was sweet and crisp. But such a delicious thing would rot in the ground?

It is simply indignation between humans and gods. Too difficult to bear!

Tang Qiaoqiao asked again, "Have you tried live broadcast? Isn't it many people sell goods through live broadcast?"

The wrinkles on the old man's face were deep, and he flicked when he spoke. "How do I understand those things? It won't work. But there are young people in our village who have done it, and my son has done it too. It's not very useful. People don't know us and won't believe that our corn is a good thing. After half a month, we haven't sold much. It's time-consuming and not cost-effective."

What the old man said is indeed a problem. Now that there are too many live broadcasts of all kinds, netizens are dazzled. Moreover, the platform will also promote businesses that it wants to promote. Those farmers in remote mountainous areas that have little promotion will be buried in the corner of the mountain, and no one will pay attention.

But such delicious corn did not give full play to its value as food, and Tang Qiaoqiao really couldn't stand it.

Her eyes flashed, and she slapped her head. "I'll help you sell it live."

The old man said, "Ah? You will help me?"

Xu Yuyi nodded, "This is a good idea. Count me in."

Wei Yiqi also raised his hand. "I also want to help."

Guo Bao and Zhang Yang also said that they had no objection and were willing to participate.

Wang Xing'er's mouth twitched. Why are they looking for trouble? They are obviously are about to end their mission. Now she just wants to go back to the hotel to take a good bath, get some beauty sleep, and never come to this ghost place again.

However, watching all five of them raise their hands, if she said the opposite, she wondered how netizens would scold her, so she raised her hands weakly.

Tang Qiaoqiao took the grandpa to their destination, where the director was waiting for them.

The director had already learned from the live broadcast that Tang Qiaoqiao was going to help an elder selling corn. He agreed without thinking. This kind of thing not only spread positive energy by doing a good deed but also increases the exposure of the show. Why not do it?

So Tang Qiaoqiao and the group moved to the old grandfather's house. His son was working at home, and he saw a large group of people coming in carrying cameras. He was immediately startled.

After learning of their intentions, he was overjoyed. They were worried about the sale of their corn for more than a week. Now there are a TV show and stars who want to help them. There is finally hope.

They already had some picked sweet corn piled up in their yard. Tang Qiaoqiao took a look at it. The corn was full and golden in color, and it looked very good.

Although they are selling corn, they may not have anything to say for less than five minutes in the live broadcast room if they just sell corn so rigidly.

Tang Qiaoqiao thought for a while and said, "I can cook a few corn-related dishes so that after watching, the audience will have another way to eat corn when they buy it."

So the "Special Activities for Helping Farmers" of "Survival in the Wild" began.

Tang Qiaoqiao placed an open-air version of a small stove in the yard.

She stood still in front of the camera and said with a sweet smile, "I believe everyone knows from the live broadcast that we are going to sell corn. Some people may be worried about the quality of these corn, so I will cook some corn delicacies here. Then we will get these people to taste it live."

Yes, the other five people are responsible for eating.

No one has any comments.

"The easiest way to cook corn is to boil them. Everyone knows it. It is also the most intuitive way to show whether corn is delicious or not." Tang Qiaoqiao pointed to the pot in front of her and put some corns in.

"Let's try a boiled corn first."

Tang Qiaoqiao just tasted a few grains of raw corn, and now the corn is cooked. She picked up one corn, took a bite, chewed it carefully and her eyes lit up. The corn was more delicious when cooked.

"The grain is full and the taste is sweet. It will burst in the mouth after one bite." Tang Qiaoqiao described the taste to the camera.

She was holding the corn in both hands, unlike Xu Yuyi, who gnawed a little bit from the tail.

The netizens in the live broadcast room watched Tang Qiaoqiao constantly nibbling from tail to head in one bite. She gnawed half of it clean, and her round apricot eyes were full of satisfaction.

【Ah ah ah ah cute. Qiao Bao eating corn is like a squirrel eating pine cones. Did not waste a bite】

【Looks delicious. Tang Qiaoqiao eat it all! Speechless】

【Isn't it enough to buy it? I will place an order right away!】

【My wallet can't control it】

Tang Qiaoqiao quickly ate one corn and it is still not enough. However, this is just an appetizer, and the next thing is the highlight.

"Roasted corn, corn soup, fried corn, corn stew, these common dishes, you must know it. Today, I will teach you two desserts made of corn, which are very simple and easy to make."

"The first one is honeycomb corn. "

Tang Qiaoqiao cut the corn into grains, washed it, added two eggs, sprinkled it with custard powder, starch, and water to make a paste. She didn't put too much water, just a brush.

Next, she poured oil into the wok. When it is 70% hot, she poured the corn paste into the fryer.

The rhythm of pouring the paste is very important. She poured slowly along the side of the wok in a circular manner while moving the corn kernels with the other hand to spread them out in the wok. Only in this way can the layered honeycomb shape be exploded.

The moment the corn batter was poured into the pot, a sound of hot oil sizzles suddenly sounded in the yard. Even the oil splatters explosively, and the onlookers were shocked and took a step back.

But Tang Qiaoqiao didn't change her expression and continued to move the corn kernels over the wok.

In less than a minute, a round, golden honeycomb-like object was formed in the wok.

After the shape is set, she turned the heat to low and continued frying for three minutes, until the honeycomb corn is golden and crisp. Finally, sprinkle a little sugar according to your personal taste or sprinkle salt and pepper if you like salty ones.

Tang Qiaoqiao picked up a plate, and golden honeycomb corn appeared in front of netizens.

【Wow, what happened just now? It was mediocre for a while, and it suddenly exploded into flowers】

【This dessert is too beautiful. It looks like an oversized golden white fungus】

【I really want to eat it, my goodness】

Xu Yuyi, Wei Yiqi, and others were already holding chopsticks and couldn't wait. They immediately reached out with their chopsticks as soon as Tang Qiaoqiao finished showing it to the netizens.

The honeycomb corn is very crispy. Everyone can hear a crunch when she picked it up. There is a warmth in the fluffiness, and it is crispy when it was bitten. The first impression is the clear fragrance of corn. The corn kernels are wrapped in a batter, crisp on the outside, but still full of juice on the inside. Layers of textures are mixed in the mouth, which is really delicious.

"It's delicious!"

Xu Yuyi quickly finished eating one piece, and when he tried to stretch out his chopsticks, he found that only the last little piece was left from such a large plate of honeycomb corn.

He anxiously said, "Your hands are too fast. Don't grab it with me. This piece is mine."

He snatched the last piece, stood in front of the live broadcast camera in a show-off manner, and didn't forget to advertise it to the audience. "You can buy the corns quickly, then make it yourself after you buy it. It is delicious."

【I want to buy it!】

【My God, where is the link】

【I've already placed an order. It's much cheaper than the supermarket. Buy it quickly. You won't be able to buy it when there are more people】

【I have placed an order, waiting for delivery. Cute.jpg】

This dish can be cooked quickly. Tang Qiaoqiao quickly made two more honeycomb corns and distributed them to the director team and the grandfather's family.

The old man has grown corn by himself for so many years, but this is the first time he has eaten this dish. It is very novel, and his little granddaughter keeps saying that it is delicious.

The grandfather touched his granddaughter's small face with love and said, "Okay, we will make it ourselves in the future."

The second dish Tang Qiaoqiao made is corn cake.

This is even simpler. She grated the corn into a paste, added glutinous rice flour and sugar, then mixed well without adding water.

Then select some complete corn leaves and wash them, fill the corn paste into the corn leaves, and steam them in the pot.

After all, honeycomb corn is deep-fried, and it is easy to feel greasy if you eat too much. But this corn cake has a soft and waxy taste and a very delicate fragrance. You can also taste the grain of corn inside. It is suitable for all ages, delicious, and nutritious.

Xu Yuyi was addicted to eating honeycomb corn. For fear of being robbed again, he picked up two large pieces of corn cake from the first batch, just to relieve the greasy feeling.

Even Wang Xing'er secretly took two corn cakes. She hid them aside and ate them.

The director has been paying attention to the sales. After seeing the sales, he exclaimed in surprise, "It is flying!"

They saw orders from all over the country flying over like snowflakes. The link even suddenly stuttered. Soon, their inventory was sold by half.

When the grandfather's family saw it, they were extremely excited and kept thanking the director and Tang Qiaoqiao. Without their help, even if they broadcast live every day, no one would buy it. Their corns would really be rotten in the field.

Tang Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "This is all because your corn is so delicious. I just borrowed flowers to present the Buddha."

The old man had to thank Tang Qiaoqiao with every sentence he said. Tang Qiaoqiao did not charge them any money, so he gave a lot of corn to Tang Qiaoqiao and the program group's staff members.

It was really hard to take that much. Tang Qiaoqiao took out some and made a corn feast, and everyone had a round belly before leaving the old man's house.

Tang Qiaoqiao also taught the grandpa some live broadcast skills, plus they already got some popularity. They believe it will sell well in the future.

After Tang Qiaoqiao finished her live sales, the recording of the show was completely over. Her vacation from the crew of "Our Family" is not over yet, so she went back to the capital directly.

Tang Qiaoqiao didn't tell Shen Yue when she returned to the capital this time, and she planned to surprise him.
