Chapter 359 Haha, Me ~ Scared ~ Me (Ch 359)

Outside the window, the north wind blows, and the house is warm as spring.

After working for more than an hour, Mr. Huang finally served three dishes.

They are fried bacon with green beans, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a beautifully presented crab dish.

“Oh! Siguoyi!”

“Great~”

Lee Ji-eun, Nana Komatsu and the other three were so surprised at the plate of crabs that their mouths almost dropped. They quickly took out their phones to check in and take photos.

In fact, not only the four foreigners were surprised, but even Qi Jia and He Jiong found it hard to believe.

After all, scrambled eggs with beans and tomatoes are easy to make, but this crab-like dish is something special just by the name. I didn’t expect that Huang Lei not only could make it, but also made it so delicious!

There was nothing wrong with the three dishes except that the portions seemed a little small.

Zhang Ruonan stared blankly for a while, holding the chopsticks in his mouth, and asked Qi Jia in a low voice,

“Bao, this is the crab? It looks delicious.”

At this time, Huang Lei came back from the kitchen with a bottle of rice wine. Seeing that everyone was praising his cooking, he immediately greeted them happily,

“Eat quickly, why are you standing there? It’s cold outside, you have to eat crabs while they’re hot, otherwise they won’t taste good when they get cold.”

Jin Minjun, who had been unable to contain himself for a long time, picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of crab into his mouth. After chewing it twice, his eyes suddenly turned red and tears were about to flow down.

He Jiong took one look and thought, holy crap, you’re stealing my job. Your acting skills are better than mine, is it that serious?

Huang Lei laughed even more happily when he saw that his dish made the foreign guests cry.

The next second, Jin Minjun swallowed it with difficulty and said,

“It’s ginger. There’s ginger in it.”

Huang Lei was stunned and said, “Ah, what’s wrong with ginger? You have to add ginger to crab dishes, but I have already chopped the ginger into fine powder, so it shouldn’t affect the taste.”

As he spoke, he looked at the other people.

“It’s delicious. Teacher Huang didn’t expect you to have a hidden trick when you were in the Mushroom House.” Qi Jia said jokingly.

Although the tone was casual, what he said was honest. This dish was delicious, not like Huang Lei’s level.

He Jiong and Zhang Ruonan also nodded repeatedly, which made Huang Lei feel a lot more relaxed.

Looking at Komatsu Nana, Suda Masaki and Lee Ji-eun, they were too busy talking to each other and could only keep giving thumbs up to show that the food was really delicious.

“I’m sorry, I just didn’t like eating ginger since I was a child. Sorry.” Jin Minjun explained.

Huang Lei’s nervous expression finally relaxed, thinking that it was a good thing that he didn’t start the live broadcast, otherwise his reputation would be ruined.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. If there’s anything you don’t like to eat, just tell me. We’re all friends here, so don’t be polite.”

Huang Lei laughed twice, then he opened the bottle of rice wine he brought with him and suggested,

“It’s freezing outside, let’s have a drink together and wish our show a good start tomorrow.”

…

It was past ten in the evening and dinner was coming to an end.

Honestly, I don’t know about other people, but Qi Jia just ate until he was full because the portions were too small.

In order to take care of four guests, he basically just ate the rice and seldom took any dishes. Since his stomach was empty, he naturally didn’t feel full.

But after a busy day, he was tired and had to get up early the next morning to record a show, so he was too lazy to order takeout.

After taking a shower like everyone else, I went to bed.

The accommodations for “Year in China” are the same as those in Mushroom House, with male artists sharing one room and female artists sharing one room.

Because the rooms are limited, if each person has his own room, the crew members will have to stay in a hotel, which is inconvenient for filming.

He didn’t know how long he had slept, but Qi Jia felt as if someone was gently pushing him. He opened his eyes and saw Zhang Ruonan squatting beside his bed with disheveled hair and a pillow in her arms.

Qi Jia was so frightened that his body trembled and he sat up suddenly as if he had a cramp, but fortunately he did not yell like a fool. Instead, he lowered his voice and asked,

“What are you doing? You can’t sleep alone, so you come to ask for a hug?”

Zhang Ruonan glanced at the others who were sleeping, and whispered in Qi Jia’s ear,

“I ordered takeout, would you like to eat some?”

Qi Jia was immediately happy and got out of bed carefully. Then the couple tiptoed out of the room and went all the way to the living room downstairs.

There were two bowls of shrimp and crab porridge on the table, steam rising from them.

Whoosh whoosh~ A cold wind blew outside the window. Zhang Ruonan shivered from the cold and moved her butt towards Qi Jia.

The two of them sat together, drinking porridge in small sips.

Suddenly, a cough was heard, either from outside the house or upstairs. The two guilty thieves shrank their necks at the same time, stopped what they were doing and dared not move.

After waiting for a while, they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw no other movement.

“Haha, I scared myself.”

Zhang Ruonan stuck out her tongue. Just as she finished speaking, a hand suddenly rested on her shoulder.

“ah?!”

Zhang Ruonan’s shout scared Qi Jia so much that he almost swallowed the porridge into his nose.

When I turned around, I saw Lee Ji-eun standing behind me wearing a strawberry pajamas and holding a bag of black coffee in her hand. She looked at a loss and was obviously frightened by Zhang Ruonan’s shout.

“I’m sorry, I just coughed to remind you, but you didn’t respond, so I thought you were wearing headphones.” Lee Ji-eun said apologetically.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Why did you get up? Did we wake you up?”

Zhang Ruonan shook his head and said,

Li Zhien took a few sips of the black coffee in her hand and said embarrassedly: “No, I’m a little hungry too, so I thought of making some noodles.”

She often stayed up late in Hanguo and developed the habit of eating midnight snacks. In fact, she was not really hungry, but she always felt uncomfortable if she didn’t eat something.

Just like many people can’t fall asleep if they don’t check Douyin before going to bed and watch a few stress-relieving videos of trimming cow hooves, cleaning earwax, and squeezing pimples.

“But there is no noodles in the kitchen. I have already looked for it. There are only two fish and some seasonings.” Zhang Ruonan said.

“Where’s the takeaway?” Qi Jia asked.

“This is the only one left, and it’s closed now.” Zhang Ruonan pointed at the shrimp and crab porridge and said helplessly.

Li Zhien was a little disappointed, but she still looked indifferent. Just when she was about to say, “Forget it,” she heard Qi Jia say,

“Wait here for a moment. I’ll get you something to eat.”

Li Zhien felt very embarrassed and was too ashamed to bother Qi Jia, so she waved her hands repeatedly and wanted to stand up to stop him, but was held back by Zhang Ruonan.

“It’s okay, sit down and we’ll chat for a while. It will be done soon. Qi Jia cooks delicious food.”

Hearing the ping-pong sounds coming from the kitchen, Li Zhien knew that Qi Jia had already started working. She nodded with emotion and thought that these two people were really great.

We just met today, and we are not in front of the camera, so no one will say anything even if they don’t care about themselves.

In the kitchen,

Qi Jia searched for it and found that it was exactly as Zhang Ruonan said, except for the two fish.

There are only rice, tomatoes, and some seasonings. I guess the program crew plans to let the guests prepare them themselves tomorrow.

There was no choice. Qi Jia reached out and swiftly picked up a sea bass, put it on the chopping board, and gave it a full body massage with salt.

After cleaning the mucus on the surface, cut it with the knife like smacking a cucumber.

With a snap, the fish became straight for the rest of its life.

After taking a look and estimating the appetite of the three people, I felt it was not enough, so I simply fished up the other one and got a double kill tonight.

Then, he scraped the scales, cut open the belly and removed the gills. After cleaning it, he made a few cuts on the fish.

Then I found some ginger, peeled and sliced ​​it, and placed a few slices on the incision, belly, gills, and mouth.

Place the rest together with the green onions on two plates, and then put the fish in last.

Start boiling water, put the plates with fish into the pot, cover with lid, and start steaming.

Then, he lit another stove, put a large spoonful of soy sauce, half a spoonful of water, 15 grams of white sugar in the pot, and added chopped green onions, ginger, garlic and coriander.

After cooking over low heat until bubbling, remove the spices, pour the sauce into a bowl, and then heat oil in a pan.

At this time, the fish in the pot was also steamed. Qi Jia took it out, poured out the water in the dish, and removed the scallions and ginger from the fish.

Then put the chopped green onion on the fish, and pour the cooked sauce evenly around the fish.

The last spoonful of hot oil is poured over the body, the soul juice is poured over ~

With a sizzling sound, a long-awaited fresh fragrance came to my nose.

“It smells so good!”

Smelling the fragrance, the two girls couldn’t help but walk in. The white and tender fish meat paired with the green onion shreds made people drool at the sight.

Li Zhien only felt the saliva secreted rapidly in her mouth, and her stomach suddenly started to rumble.

Suddenly I felt embarrassed and smiled awkwardly.

“It’s done, we can start now.”

Qi Jia raised his hand, clapped his hands with the two girls, and announced with a smile,

Wuhu~ The two girls happily walked out with a dish of fish each. Qi Jia opened the cupboard and took out three pairs of bowls and chopsticks.

Perhaps because he closed the door too hard, the air was pushed and a takeout order floated out from under the cupboard.
