Chapter 1143: Chapter 463: Heartwarming Egg-Stuffed Pancakes! The TV Station Makes Eight Treasure Gourd Duck? Let’s Make It Too!
Last night, before going to sleep, Shen Jiayue scrolled through some short videos and saw a tutorial on making egg pancakes. She instantly craved them.
Since she wanted to eat, plans had to be made.
So, this morning, Lin Xu started kneading the dough to make them.
He also made some black rice porridge, which is good for health, and soaked some high-quality wood ear mushrooms in warm water.
"Baobao, stop cleaning, come eat quickly!"
After finishing the egg pancakes, Lin Xu shouted upstairs and started draining the soaked mushrooms.
He sliced some cilantro into a bowl, added the mushrooms, drizzled in salt, light soy sauce, vinegar, fine sugar, chili oil, and sesame oil, mixed it all well, and then served it on a plate.
When Shen Jiayue came downstairs, he had already served the black rice porridge and brought over the egg pancakes he had made.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
Shen Jiayue washed her hands and, before even sitting down, picked up a rolled egg pancake and took a big bite.
The pancake was crispy and fragrant on the outside, chewy on the inside, and tasted fresh and delicious.
Even though it didn’t have the chicken strips, chicken fillet, onion rings, and other ingredients like in last night’s video, this was made by Xu Baobao himself. A loving egg pancake, something money can’t buy.
"It’s so tasty. Xu Baobao, did you often eat egg pancakes when you were in school?"
Lin Xu sipped his black rice porridge and said:
"I used to eat them often during high school. There was a window in the school’s cafeteria that sold them. I’d buy one to take to the classroom after lunch and eat it during breaks between classes."
During high school, Lin Xu had a large appetite because he was growing, so he often snacked during breaks.
Shen Jiayue took a bite of the egg pancake and asked curiously:
"Then why didn’t you eat them in college?"
"Because there was a fairy-like Baobao feeding me, I didn’t need to buy them anymore. Over four years of college, I saved at least a few thousand dollars."
Shen Jiayue: "..."
You didn’t have to say the latter part.
Lin Xu sipped his black rice porridge, picked up the mushrooms, put them in his mouth, and then said:
"The train mom’s taking arrives at the station at ten o’clock. You should drive to the station to pick her up. I have to go to Sister Yan’s company. We’re starting to record the show officially in the afternoon, so I need to check the kitchen setup."
"Oh... okay, then you should come back for lunch. Our mom said she’d make glass noodles meatballs for me at the store. If you’re not there, I feel embarrassed to eat more."
"It’s okay, our mom knows you can eat six buns."
Mentioning six buns reminded someone of the day she graduated, eating buns at school.
At that time, they hadn’t confirmed their relationship yet, but a girl from the neighboring class squeezed into a photo with Xu Baobao. Humph, didn’t she know I’ve guarded him for four years?
If I hadn’t protected him, with Xu Baobao’s looks, who knows how many times he’d have been taken on a ride.
After breakfast, the two of them each drove to the store.
At nine in the morning, Lin Xu drove to the company. After a few days of installation, the kitchen suitable for filming was ready.
It’s said they specially installed a full set of transmission equipment, so the filmed videos go directly to the computer, greatly reducing the stress of post-production.
Arriving at the company, Lin Xu walked into the studio next to Joyful Media, which had just been renovated.
The design inside was very simple. There were two sets of stoves. One set was for restaurant use, installed against the wall, using a complete set of silent stoves and silent exhaust hoods.
The other set was a typical small household stove, adjacent to the workbench.
This setup is more convenient for filming food videos in a "taste of life" style.
On the wall next to the stove hung various kitchen utensils, including various woks, soup pots, frying pans, milk pots, and dessert pots, among other cookware.
Above and beside these devices, there were camera mounts suitable for filming, and there was even an electronic slide installed above the stove to shoot panning shots for close-ups.
After looking around, Lin Xu thought it was quite good.
It was much more spacious than the previous TV station’s space, and the equipment was more advanced.
Zeng Xiaoqi said:
"All future food videos will be in 4K 60 FPS format, and some can even upgrade to 4K 120 FPS. What do you think, Boss Lin?"
"Not bad, it’s fine."
Lin Xu also liked high-end equipment, but equipment is just an aid; the key is the content.
If the content is bad, no amount of good equipment will help, and it might even be counterproductive.
He curiously asked:
"What’s the name of the new show?"
Chen Yan said:
"Based on the chefs’ opinions, we registered three accounts. One focuses on food teaching called ’Time to Eat!’, another focuses on promoting cooking concepts with short videos called ’Food Talk’, and the last one, continuing the ’taste of life’ style, is named ’Taste of Life’."
Starting with three accounts at once, they seem quite ambitious.
But the name "Food Talk" is somewhat...
Just as Lin Xu was about to say it was a bit ordinary, Zeng Xiaoqi suddenly said:
"’Food Talk’ is a program that combines practice and chat. Mr. Geng Lishan will be appearing, and he came up with the name. He plans to explain some old traditions and dishes that have been lost in Chinese cuisine to young people, convey food concepts, and chefs will join in these discussions."
Since Geng Lishan came up with it, then there’s no problem.
Just because of Geng Lishan’s name, many in the cultural circle would pay attention.
For instance, famous professors like Tian Qinglan and Ren Chongmo are fans of this calligrapher. Moreover, he’s shut his door to guests for more than two years, so suddenly appearing on a show will definitely cause a sensation in the cultural circle.
Not bad, not bad, and he even mentioned scheduling a live stream with Geng Lishan later. Didn’t expect he couldn’t resist coming out first.
