Chapter 7: Pan Fried Buns

The vegetable market was 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.

"You can't do this. A man needs 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 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 got a free lesson and only hated that he didn't bring a notebook.

Tang Qiaoqiao: "Boss, give me another 10 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 the four sides and then wrapped two ropes around the box to make it easier to carry.

Tang Qiaoqiao settled the bill. After she put the change in her wallet, with a casual lift, she began 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 pick up the box with one hand.

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

Why did she move her hand so fast? She completely forgot that there were 10 kilograms of flour and various bottles and cans in the carton, which added up to at least 15 kilograms.

After quickly racking her brain, she immediately corrected her act and suddenly staggered. The carton fell heavily on the ground.

"No wonder I feel so laborious carrying it. It's really too heavy."

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

"Right, right, I'm a delicately pretty girl." Tang Qiaoqiao became excited and quickly recovered from her embarrassment. She complimented, giving him a thumbs up, "You have good vision, very discerning."

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

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

Next, the two went 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 various size bags at their feet. They had a good harvest.

Wei Yiqi gasped, completely out of breath. "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 the wallet and took out the only remaining banknote, "Only ten yuan left."

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

The cameraman shook his head very principled.

Tang Qiaoqiao cast her gaze on a cargo trike at the entrance of a store not far away, with an uncle sitting nearby enjoying the cool breeze.

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

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

"Then, can I ride it by myself? I'm not a thief. We're recording the show. There’s a cameraman there. 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, is that okay?"

The uncle laughed heartily, "You, young girl, don't need to explain so much. You can use it as you like. Is this cargo trike something people would want to cheat away? Don't mention the money; just return it to me after you use it."

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

Wei Yiqi, who had been guarding their things, soon saw Tang Qiaoqiao riding a cargo trike back.

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

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

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

Tang Qiaoqiao suddenly turned her head and asked, "Will I not be delicately pretty if I drive this cargo trike?"

Wei Yiqi: ???

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

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

【Just a small question. Do you have many young children?!】

【Wei Yiqi is simply a heart-warming little angel, answering whatever Tang Qiaoqiao asks】

【Does Tang Qiaoqiao want to create a delicately pretty image for herself now? What a green tea】

【I don't think so. Although she asked, she did everything from the beginning to the end. Looking for stores to buy things and even borrowing a cargo trike. She pulling a favorable impression】

【For a female celebrity to excitedly ride a dusty cargo trike on the street. I suddenly get Tang Qiaoqiao's cuteness】

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

【This combo of elementary school chicken is just this simple and unpretentious. I like, I like】

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

Wang Qiang and Xiao Ke discussed it 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 complete set of beverage-making equipment, which is easy to operate.

Zhou Meng chose to make sushi. She once studied in Japan and has a bit of knowledge about 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 their budget.

Zhou Meng was handling salmon gracefully. She saw Tang Qiaoqiao returning on a cargo trike and unloading many messy, black and red plastic bags. She continued to cut the fish and thought in disdain, 'She really was a country bumpkin.'

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 wanted to have a sense of sacredness when working in a restaurant kitchen, so chef clothes were essential.

Well, she mainly didn’t want the oil fumes to stain her beautiful dress.

Tang Qiaoqiao carefully put all her hair inside the white chef hat, showing only her pretty face. 

Wei Yiqi originally looked very young, 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 making the soup.

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

Tang Qiaoqiao's strength was precise and 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.

Next, 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 added sesame oil and water. She stirred in one direction to make the sesame oil and let the water fully seep into the meat. Finally, she added the chopped green onion and stirred again. The meat filling would taste tender and chewy.

At this time, the dough was ready. Tang Qiaoqiao rolled it into strips and then kneaded them into round shapes. She pressed the round balls into uniformly sized wrappings, put the stuffing in, and started to fold the buns.

Tang Qiaoqiao's technique was very skillful. Each bun had no more than 12 pleats.

Wei Yiqi watched Tang Qiaoqiao fold so many good-looking buns in a few seconds, and his eyes 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?"
