Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“It’s rare for someone to be so firm in their dreams at such a young age.”

Shu Qi said dejectedly. She watched as Xu Le swiftly cut the thin slices of pork belly and reminded him, “Our program still has to film the cooking process. Remember to add in the commentary. It will definitely be edited in later.”

“Sure.” Xu Le picked up the tabasco pepper and asked, “Can you all eat spicy food?”

Zhou Huangya was so hungry that she was shaking her legs. She found a tomato from somewhere and started to eat it. She said with an unclear voice, “I think moderate spice will be good, so that we can all eat it.”

“Aiyo,” Zhang Liang saw her face full of juice and handed her a tissue in disdain. “Quickly wipe it! It’s too ugly!”

Xu Le faced the camera and explained, “The supplementary ingredients are very simple. You just need to prepare garlic, tabasco peppers, and onions.”

“Cut them into pieces separately. Add the tabasco pepper according to your tolerance level for spicy food. There’s no need to cut the garlic too much. Just smash it flat and cut it twice.”

Xu Le tore apart the lettuce and specially reminded, “Now, we have reached the most crucial step of this dish. Everyone must remember to put salt on the lettuce after cleaning it up. It’s hard to make the lettuce have a strong taste. Usually, you need to use a lot of soya sauce to make it fresh. That way, it

will taste good, but the black color doesn’t look good. At the end, it will also become salty.”

As he spoke, he sprinkled a layer of salt on the washed and processed vegetables. After he wore his gloves and mixed the vegetables evenly, he added some water inside.

“The key point of the stir-fried vegetables is that the texture cannot be soft. It needs to be crispy and refreshing to taste good. Therefore, try not to boil it in the water. If you are at home, you can fry it with oil or using air.”

As Xu Le explained, he turned on the hot oil and filtered out the residue of the oil that was used to fry the crispy duck. When the oil temperature was about right, he said, “You guys can stay away from it. There’s some water on it, so it’s easy to for the oil to splash out.”

“Oh, oh, oh!”

The female artists took a few steps back with a whoosh. Zhang Liang also took a few steps back. He said with slight doubt, “Won’t it be too oily if it’s stir-fried like this? If you deep-fry first, then stir-fry later, all the vegetables with low-fat and high-fiber will be high in calories.”

Xu Le poured the vegetables into the pot. With a sizzling sound, the hot oil rolled. Within six or seven seconds, he poured the vegetables into the filter and started to pass them through the oil.

He shook his head and explained, “This is to make the vegetable taste more crispy and refreshing, It’s similar to stir-frying it with oil, so the calories won’t be much higher.”

After the vegetables were deep-fried, the surface was bright, but it was not fully cooked.

Xu Le took out soy sauce and steamed fish black oil and poured them into a bowl.

“The sauce is very simple. You just need to put in a moderate amount of 1: 1. There’s no need to add salt later.”

“Now, put a small amount of oil in the pot. After heating it up, pour the pork belly into the pot and stir fry it until the grease comes out. This step will make use of the meat fragrance. Remember to stir fry it until it turns yellow. Then start the fire in the pot and add the supplementary ingredients that

were prepared just now.”

The tabasco peppers, scallions, and garlic were stir-fried into the pot one after another to produce the fragrance.

“Then, pour the vegetables and stir-fry. When it’s almost ready, pour the sauce that has been mixed along the edges of the pot. This step can force the steam out and maximize the fragrance of the ingredients.”

After the vegetables were stir-fried and served, the rice was also ready. Although there was only one dish, it was fragrant and piping hot. Furthermore, everyone’s stomachs were rumbling with hunger. They sat at the table and started to eat.

Zhou Huangya thought of something and said, “Brother Xiaoming went out to buy groceries. The production team gave him an electric scooter to ride on. Should we leave him some food?”

“Okay.”

Zhang Liang brought a plate and rice and separated a portion out.

Fortunately, there were enough vegetables to fill a large plate that was enough for a few people to eat. Xu Le placed his chopsticks in his mouth. He practiced dozens of times in the system before he could cook the fresh and delicious stir-fried vegetables.

“Holy shit!”

Zhang Liang took a bite and his eyes lit up. He could not help but curse.

“Is this a vegeable dish? I’ve also made this before using hotpot base. At that time, I felt that the taste I made was superb. Good heavens…”

Now that he met Xu Le, it was obvious who was stronger.

Zhang Liang took a big bite of the rice and nodded. “This simple home-cooked dish is the best test of culinary skills. Alright, I’m finally convinced.”

He thought about how he had relied on his culinary skills to survive in various gourmet variety shows and how everyone praised his culinary skills. However, when he met Xu Le, the difference was too big. It made him feel defeated.

Even though he was demoralized, he couldn’t eat less than a mouthful of vegetables. He dug into his food.

Zhou Huangya picked up a piece of meat and chewed it carefully. The pork belly had a purpose of increasing the freshness of this dish. The fats were all dried out, it was crispy and fragrant, and when chewed, it tasted like oil residue.

She took another bite of the vegetable and said in disbelief, “Isn’t this the taste of meat? Oh my god, this vegetable tastes even better than meat. It looks quite simple when you cook it. How can it taste so good!”

“During these few days,” Zhang Liang was full of admiration for Xu Le and said,” I definitely have to thicken my skin and follow behind Master Xu to steal more of his skills.”

“Not really, don’t flatter me.” Xu Le waved his hand and said, “I can tell you whatever you want to learn.”

The few of them buried their heads in their food. The fragrance of the vegetables was alluring, and Zhou Huangya could not even care about her image as she stuffed them into her mouth.

Only Shu Qi, who was sitting at the side, was swirling her wine glass and drinking in small mouthfuls. In front of her was a rice ball that was half the size of a fist. Everyone was used to her not eating lunch and no one deliberately asked her to try.

With the delicacies in front of her, Shu Qi was so enticed by the fragrance that she wanted to leave the table. She picked up her chopsticks and fiddled with the rice grains in her bowl, stuffing a few into her mouth every time.

Xu Le looked up and saw her actions. He felt that this was no different from self-torture. She was almost dying from exhaustion after a day of hard work, yet she had to diet at night. He said, “It shouldn’t matter if you eat less. Why don’t you try it, Sister Shu?”

Shu Qi swallowed her saliva silently and shook her head. She said firmly, “Don’t try to tempt me. I can’t break my habit. If I eat it today, I will definitely not be able to hold it in tomorrow.”

Zhou Huangya patted her arm and pulled her face out of the bowl with much difficulty. She said, “It’s really delicious! This is a vegetable dish, and the calories aren’t high. If you don’t eat it, you’ll really regret it!”

Shu Qi was a little moved and Xu Le picked up a piece for her.

‘The vegetable placed on the white rice was crispy and tempting. Shu Qi struggled internally for a while. This was the first time she made an exception on a show.

Picking up the chopsticks, she took a small bite. The crispiness of the vegetables and the oil fragrance of the meat competed with each other as they danced on her taste buds. Taking a deep breath, she exclaimed, “How can vegetables be so delicious?”

“Yeah, that’s what we were discussing just now. It’s awesome and addictive! It’s delicious!”

Shu Qi restrained herself as she ate two small mouthfuls. She could no longer hold it in and started eating with her rice.

Bai Xiaoming returned after buying the groceries and walked in with his bags. When he saw that Shu Qi was having dinner, he couldn’t help but let out a gasp..
