Free Web NovelChapter 1131: Chapter 459: It’s Reasonable to Use a Hammer for Candied Chestnuts, Right? Junior Brother, You Need to Feature Some Gourmet Dishes! [Monthly Ticket Requested]_2
"Can you use an oven? The finished product really tempts me, I feel like this method can help me achieve my dream of unlimited sugar-roasted chestnuts."
Chen Yan was eating while browsing through these comments.
She glanced in the direction of the kitchen and muttered to herself:
"Could it be that Yueyue was just making sugar-roasted chestnuts? Then what was she doing with the hammer? These women with romance on their brains always seem a bit off mentally."
After muttering a couple of sentences, Chen extracted her phone and sent Ren Jie a message:
"Working overtime tonight? Your aunt misses you!"
While sending it, Shen Jiayue’s voice rang in her ear:
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, no wonder you’re an old woman approaching forty, being so bold and spicy with your messages, even calling yourself aunt... Are you guys playing that big? Oh my, begging for a pair of unpolluted eyes..."
Chen Yan didn’t expect her cousin to see her private messages, and her face flushed a charming red:
"What are you looking at, is this something you can just look at casually?"
"Not looking, not looking. This level of pollution, if I keep looking, I’ll need a corneal transplant..."
"You brat, if you keep making fun of me I’ll fall out with you!"
Shen Jiayue quickly softened:
"Not making fun, not making fun, Shu Baobao’s sugar-roasted chestnuts are tasty, right? Made with an air fryer. I’m learning now, and later I’ll let you taste them, okay? If they’re good, don’t forget to shout ’Sister Yue’ out loud."
Chen Yan asked:
"Can an air fryer really make sugar-roasted chestnuts? Is it hard?"
Shen Baobao immediately mimicked Zhou Xingchi’s tone and asked:
"Want to learn? If you want to learn, I can teach you!"
Ho ho, finally have the qualification to say such a thing.
Yan Bao, you lost too much to me!
Chen Yan put down her phone and continued eating sugar-roasted chestnuts, but felt somewhat unconvinced in her heart.
Darn, she got me!
I won’t let you teach me, since there’s a video from my brother-in-law, I’ll just follow the video and make it myself. With my talent in cooking, won’t it be a piece of cake for Yan Baobao?
Thinking of this, Chen Yan said:
"Hah, saying as if it’s something nobody else can do, just wait, I’ll start making after dealing with little Qiqi’s matters this afternoon, and the taste will definitely be better than yours."
The company still had things to do, so Chen Yan took a bag and unceremoniously dumped all the sugar-roasted chestnuts from the plate into it, carrying them back to the company to continue her work while Shen Jiayue continued making her project video.
After the sugar-roasted chestnuts were done, she poured them out to take a look. The aroma was quite strong, but the appearance wasn’t great, with all sorts of cuts on the chestnuts’ openings.
But these were secondary.
As long as the taste was good, the appearance didn’t matter much, plus the smashed chestnuts placed together had a kind of chaotic beauty when looked at for a long time.
Lin Xu finished his busy work in the kitchen and saw Shen Jiayue editing a video, so he curiously asked:
"All done?"
"Yeah, I even shared some with everyone, and they all praised how tasty they were."
Whoa, there’s a strong element of pride in her tone... Lin Xu said:
"Then let’s make some more tonight, I really like eating sugar-roasted chestnuts."
"No problem! Oh, Xu Bao, when the extra-large air fryer arrives, don’t forget to teach me how to fry a whole chicken, I’m waiting to eat it!"
"Don’t worry, I won’t forget."
It wasn’t long before Shen Jiayue finished editing the video.
The cover was a screenshot of her hammering a chestnut, making it seem as if she was angrily about to smash the air fryer.
After watching it once and confirming there were no issues, she chose to upload it.
The title had a UC style:
"[Project Submission]After learning how to make sugar-roasted chestnuts with an air fryer from a famous food influencer, I was forced to buy a new pot!"
From the title and cover, it easily led people to think of a scenario where sugar-roasted chestnuts went wrong, then in a fit of rage, the air fryer got smashed.
However, in reality, it was a huge success.
Not only was it successful, but it was also filled with lots of romantic interactions.
Humph, dealing with fans requires a game of wits and tactics, keeping them guessing about the content.
After the video was released, everyone indeed fell for it.
But no fan was angry; rather, everyone became more excited because the boss lady lowered the production threshold of the already not too difficult air fryer version of sugar-roasted chestnuts using a hammer.
It truly achieved "as long as you have hands, you can do it."
Soon the comment section was filled with photos of various kinds of hammers:
"Haha, I, Murong Tiechui, truly am a Kitchen God!"
"Just a chestnut away from sugar-roasted chestnuts, keep it up, fellow foodies."
"Turns out making food is so simple, thanks to the boss lady for showing me another side of food."
"I explained to my mom several times that I used the hammer to make sugar-roasted chestnuts, but she just wouldn’t believe it. Family, how should I explain it?"
"The person above, you could smash it against your own foot."
"Don’t listen to him, hit your knee, that way you can verify the knee-jerk reflex."
Meanwhile, at Joyful Media Company.
Little Jia returned from a store visit and was editing this episode’s store visit video with Xie Baomin and the post-production teacher.
This time, they explored a Huaiyang cuisine restaurant, an old brand, supposedly no issue with making braised meatballs, but today Xie Baomin found faults with it.
The meatballs weren’t well made, not only missing the shape of a lion’s head but also lacking its spirit.
A good braised meatball should be able to sway on the spoon, achieving the so-called "lion head swaying water" effect, but the meatballs from this store lacked elasticity, and the meat felt lifeless.
In short, it was just a big meatball, and it even got stuck in the teeth while eating, a total failed product.
At the time of filming, the chef and waiters were present in the restaurant, yet old Xie said what he needed to say, criticizing the dish harshly.
Little Jia several times wanted to grab the camera and run out.
