Seeing her denying it, Lai En was a little dumbfounded: "Isn't it true? But everyone says so!"
"Of course not! There are people outside the world, and there is a heaven outside. Chinese cuisine is broad and profound. My father has only specialized in Sichuan cuisine all his life, and it is impossible to master all the techniques. Besides, he is a very humble man, how can he call himself a chef? So even you call him that. , I was very surprised, where did you hear that?”
Ni Bingyan packed the seafood noodles in a few strokes and began to put them on the table neatly.
Seeing her starting to carry the bowl, the other three people did not sit still, but each went to get their own.
They have different appetites and different amounts of noodles, so they can be recognized at a glance.
In order to make room for the four of them to chat, Sister Li followed her sister-in-law to Mrs. Liu's house for a party, and the three of them made a tacit agreement not to bring anyone over.
The three of them came over to have a meal to enhance their relationship, but bringing others along would add to Ni Bingyan's burden.
Ni Bingyan only has one family member to take care of her, and she doesn't hire a separate chef. No one would be so ignorant.
It's been a month since the filming of the movie started, and this is the first time the four leading actors have had a dinner together like this.
Except for Ni Bingyan, there is Chinese food here. Everyone has been on the set for too long and wants to change their taste. The main reason is because Lai En has sacrificed too much today. If he doesn't come to kill Ni Bingyan for a meal, he will have no idea. He is alone and embarrassed to be alone. If someone comes, just call the two leading actors together.
When fans cause trouble, idols pay for it. This is a truth that everyone agrees with.
Today, it was indeed because of the fans' bad taste that Lai En suffered physical and mental injuries. It would be great to be able to get over it with a Chinese meal.
Ni Bingyan is very popular. She had some misunderstandings with Jason at first, but they soon let go. They were both happy to attend this private party.
The reason why Camille Rolland, who plays Emma, was not brought in was because she was too young to play with everyone, and every time after filming her scene, she had to go back and receive tutoring lessons from a private teacher, which was not that much. free time.
Domestic children are very troubled, and children from foreign elites are not easy either.
After putting the noodles on the table and taking some kuaizi from the disinfection cabinet to share with everyone, Lai En explained to her:
"I had a party with friends two days ago and went to Chinatown in Houston to eat Chinese food. I saw that businesses there were holding competitions and TV stations were broadcasting them. They said they bought the copyright from China and the competition was called "MasterChef." , I couldn’t help but talk to the boss a few more words.
"The boss knew me and was happy to chat with me. He told me that Chef God is a very powerful Chinese chef. He also has a daughter who is a big star. She is filming here at the moment. Do you recognize her? I I chatted with the boss, and when I checked out, he gave me a 40% discount.”
Ni Bingyan now probably understood how the God of Cooking came to be.
Her father's program was called "King of Chefs". They probably cared more about kings and the like, so they simply changed the translation method, and became the God of Cooking.
When she came here to film a movie, due to the time difference, she had much less time to contact her dad. This incident probably happened not long ago, and she hadn't had time to hear her dad talk about it.
"Really? Are they also hosting this competition? When will it be broadcast live? I'm a bit curious and want to see it, but I don't have much time. Will it be edited into a show?"
There are many Chinatowns and Chinatowns here. Holding such a competition can indeed promote Chinese food.
She had watched her father's show, and several elders showed off their unique skills, which was very interesting to watch.
I wonder how good the chefs here are at cooking, and how much of the unique skills they have inherited from their ancestors?
"Yes! The game was very lively. The boss said it was just like the Chinese New Year. I asked at the time and found out that after the live broadcast, the program would indeed be edited for broadcast. Maybe it will be broadcast next week? I'm not sure."
"Oh, I see."
After asking clearly about the situation, Ni Bingyan stopped asking more questions and instead told everyone to be polite.
Maybe because we were at home, everyone was quite relaxed and didn’t have any idol baggage. Ni Bingyan casually wore a black and white striped long skirt with an apron tied around her waist. Sloan just wore a white T-shirt and jeans.
While En was dressing up as a hip-hop boy, Jason was the flashiest and most casual, wearing beach shorts, a black tank top, and flip-flops.
"I get off work late and don't have enough time. It's simple, so please don't mind."
The noodles were mixed with fish meat by Wu Huijuan and pressed out with a noodle machine. They are smooth and chewy. The side dishes were also bought from the pier in the afternoon. There are sea crabs and live shrimps that are common here, and there is also a hobby of sea fishing. The fresh and tender squid caught by the fisherman, together with some shellfish and vegetables, look very good.
But Ni Bingyan always feels embarrassed to serve noodles to his colleagues because it is too simple.
The other three gave unanimous praise.
"very good!"
"Exceptionally good!"
"It's really delicious!"
The other two didn't know much about Chinese food and could only say it was delicious, but Lai En could taste the difference in the noodles:
"The noodles you made are better than what I had in the restaurant last time. Especially this noodle, it's very special, very fresh, very elastic, very tender, very... indescribably delicious anyway."
Ni Bingyan told him the secret.
Knowing that fish can also be cooked in noodles, the other two people were curious.
"How to do this?"
Although they usually don't cook, it doesn't stop their curiosity.
"There are few bones in sea fish, so it is very easy. Just remove the bones from the fish, chop it into puree, and mix it with flour. The fish noodles in our country are really difficult to make!"
"Oh? How difficult is it?"
"Use a Danshui fish with many thorns, cut it into two pieces first, then beat it gently with the back of a knife. Don't smash the thorns, but also pick out all the meat. Then chop it into puree with a knife, add starch and egg white. Stir together various seasonings, then put them into a flower bag and squeeze them into noodles... Of course, you can also use other tools and cook them to your liking."
Ni Bingyan explained it in detail and believed that he was not hiding any secrets at all.
As a result, Sloan was very serious and asked her: "How many grams of various seasonings should be added?"
Ni Bingyan was immediately stunned. After holding it in for a long time, he finally managed to say "appropriate amount".
Sloan was very embarrassed, thinking that she didn't want to say it, so he apologized to her: "I'm sorry, I didn't know this was your family's ancestral recipe."
God-like ancestral recipes!
Her family's ancestral recipes have long been written down into a book and republished by her father, okay? !
Moreover……
"Chinese food is like this. There are no precise ingredients. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but that I can't tell you. If you are interested, I will give you a few cookbooks published by my father later. All my family's ancestral recipes are in them. It's a pity. There is no foreign language version, so you may not understand it well..."
"No, no, no, I actually don't know how to cook, I'm just a little curious..."
Jason was very observant and knew how to adjust the atmosphere. Seeing that both of them were extremely embarrassed, Jason joked:
"If this dish was on my grandmother's menu, her recipe would be twice as thick!"
The other two people laughed so hard that their faces were red. Ni Bingyan didn't understand what the joke was and was a little confused.
Lain explained to her: "Jason is British."
"Oh! Oh~oh!"
Ni Bingyan suddenly realized.
Seeing her acting silly, everyone laughed again.
The four of them were talking casually while eating.
Because when eating at Ni Bingyan's place, even though Jason was not very good at using kuaizi, he still adhered to Chinese etiquette and did not change forks.
Ni Bingyan couldn't see it and took the initiative to bring a fork over.
It was a relaxed meal, and when the meal was almost finished, the few of them started chatting about movies.
"When the movie is released, today's scene will definitely receive a lot of praise. Lai En, your efforts are worth it."
Normally if Jason didn't have a scene, he would go out to pick up girls, but today he stayed with the set and watched it from beginning to end, just because this scene was so funny.
"Of course! If there were no good reviews, I would be so angry! I really sacrificed too much!"
Lai En was not one to be modest. After hearing Jason's words, he immediately emphasized his expectations with exaggerated movements.
"And Ni, your male costume is also very handsome, it will definitely arouse heated discussion when the time comes."
Ni Bingyan only nodded slightly.
Thinking of the wild praise from fans today, I feel embarrassed to be too modest: "I think it's pretty good too."
Styling is secondary, words and deeds are the most difficult.
In order to learn how men walk, she stared at the men on the set for a week, which made everyone numb. It was really not easy for her to master that degree.
"To be honest, when I was Ni's age, my acting skills were not as good as hers. She always had a lot of delicate performances in details. I think it is worth learning from her."
Sloan was never shy about compliments.
For some people, it is difficult to admit the excellence of others, but truly outstanding people can always see the strengths of others.
Ni Bingyan feels very lucky to be able to work with Sloan.
