My daily life of cooking food in Tokyo

Chapter 229 You are all stooges!
Natsuki Kanaya is a powerful senior housewife.

In her words, being able to keep the house in order is the most comfortable thing.

Cooking is naturally the focus of a family.

In particular, Jin Gu Nayue's husband likes to drink very much, and he likes some slightly heavier appetizers.

Under such circumstances, how could she not be surprised when she saw the promotion of the "Into Life" program group?
The ecstatic Kanaya Natsuki rushed early in the morning and went to the vegetable market to buy the ingredients that needed to be prepared.

I waited in front of the TV early in the morning, waiting for the broadcast of "Into Life".

When the "Entering Life" program was broadcast, she felt that the program was completely different from what she had imagined.

It's less of a show-off and very close to life.

Just like the name of the program, it is "Into Life".

That's right.

When most people concluded that Miki Takimoto was putting on a show,

Natsuki Kanaya came to the opposite conclusion.

Because Miki Takimoto was not pretending to panic.

Just like Kanaya Natsuki herself, who had entered the kitchen for the first time, her cooking was very real.

Especially the ridiculous behavior of using a pot lid to block oil, which Natsuki Kanaya herself had done before.

It hurts when the hot oil star explodes on the body. No housewife will not be afraid.

Every housewife has gone through transformation and become the proficient in all kinds of martial arts.

No one is born with it.

So when others questioned Miki Takimoto, Natsuki Kanaya checked the star anise she bought.

There are eight corners in an octagon, which is very simple knowledge.

But few people really pay attention.

Occasionally if you feel something is wrong, ask your boss.

The boss will tell you that the natural growth of star anise is mostly eight.

It doesn't have to be all octagonal.

People who had no confidence at first believed the boss when he saw that he was sure.

After all, Mangcao and Anise look very similar.

It is almost impossible for anyone to imagine that this is a business of passing off the real thing.

A small bag of star anise lies quietly in the corner of the kitchen.

Kanaya Natsuki observed carefully and found that the anise she purchased was also mixed with fake and shoddy products.

The most important thing is that mangcao is poisonous.

Thinking of this, Jin Gu Nayue couldn't help but turn pale.

She couldn't imagine the consequences of feeding her family "poisonous anise".

Immediately picked out those reckless plants, not one was left.

But now is not the time to trouble her boss, she has more important things to do.

One is to continue to learn this dish called stewed beans.

The second is to clarify for Takimoto Miki and Liu Minghui.

They are by no means grandstanding.

But we are really thinking about everyone's health.

It’s not that it’s better to put on a show, so there’s no problem with that.

It doesn’t matter if it’s just for show, they just want to tell everyone the dangers of fake anise and how to identify it.

is forgivable behavior.

Thinking of this, Natsuki Kanaya immediately logged into the forum of the "Into Life" program.

Opened a post saying:

Everyone, please be careful not to ignore this small food safety issue.

I just checked the star anise I bought at home, and it really mixed with wild grass.

It's a trivial matter that the taste is not authentic, but Mangcao is poisonous and can cause problems easily.

Even if we are responsible for our family, we cannot ignore this small problem.

After finishing speaking, Jin Gu Nayue also released two pictures.

One is the bag of star anise she picked before.

To the naked eye, there are almost no problems, and they all look like anise.

The second bag contains pictures marked with red circles.

The grass hidden in the octagon is carefully marked.

One, two, three,..., eight!

There are actually eight pieces of mangcao!
It was also under the annotation of Jingu Caiyue that everyone could see the indistinguishable wild grass.

A man named Hiroaki Imaizumi replied: "Baga?"

"Is there really such a thing?"

"How is it possible? I'm in Sakura Country, which attaches great importance to food safety?"

"Tuo, you must be Tuo!"

"Invited by "Into Life"!"

Ignoring the clown's remarks, Kanaya Natsuki posted another post saying:

"Into Life" really walked into our lives.

Do you think Ms. Takimoto is putting on a show?

Then I just think this is the most real side of her.

Those who have never been in the kitchen can be forgiven for not understanding. How can we housewives still be fooled like this?

Think about the scene when we first walked into the kitchen.

You will know that Ms. Takimoto is who we used to be.

Ridiculous and hard work.

Isn’t it the epitome of us housewives struggling for our families?

So hard work is just to make a delicious dish for the whole family as much as possible.

These two posts directly caused an uproar in the "Into Life" forum.

Especially under the second post, countless housewives responded.

Natsuki Kanaya's touching words reminded them of their former selves.

They all supported Miki Takimoto under the post.

Immediately, Miki Takimoto's voice became louder.

Not only that, as time goes by, the first post also has a tendency to rise.

A housewife replied in shock: "Baga?"

"I actually found mangcao in my star anise."

"If you don't look carefully, you really can't see it."

"The thirteen ferocious horns of Mangcao seem to be mocking my ignorance."

"By the way, aren't these seven, nine, or ten horned ones also poisonous?"

"I can't look at them anymore."

Hiroaki Imaizumi retorted: "Trust, you are all trust!"

"How can there be a food safety problem in Sakura Country?"

"For the sake of spreading rumors, you "Into Life" don't want to live anymore?"

It's just that the voice of doubt immediately subsided.

Because more people are starting to speak out.

The fake anise incident is not an isolated case, but a common phenomenon that has swept across the entire Sakura Country.

In the country of cherry blossoms, star anise is rarely used.

In addition, it looks very similar to Mangcao, so no one noticed this serious food safety problem for a while.

Thanks to Liu Minghui's disclosure, it was made public.

For a time, countless people began to attack Imaizumi Hiroaki.

"Tuo, your whole family is Tuo."

"Is it hard to believe the truth?"

"It's because of those of you who talk nonsense that the truth is so easily buried."

"Tell me a joke, food safety in Sakura Country."

"It's fine to deceive outsiders, but it's a bit funny if you've even been deceived yourself."

"You're in Sakura Country, how safe is the food in Sakura Country? You don't have any idea?"

……

Countless people began to criticize Imaizumi Hiroaki, so much so that he could only silently quit the forum.

He murmured, "How is it possible?"

"The food in our Sakura Country is obviously safe."

Because of its wide scope and great impact, the fake anise event caused a huge sensation in Sakura Country.

It doesn't matter if you check this. After checking, you will find that this is not an exception, but a common phenomenon.

Poor people from the country of Cherry Blossoms probably have never eaten unadulterated star anise.

A large number of counterfeit products were investigated and dealt with.

Destroyed, fined, bowed and apologized, it finally calmed down.

But no one expected that the cause of this incident was actually Liu Minghui's words.

It was only then that everyone realized that the two of them were not putting on a show, but that Liu Minghui really had the ability to distinguish ingredients by listening.

Because the star anise in the entire Cherry Blossom Country is adulterated, naturally the program group of "Into Life" can only buy adulterated goods.

As for why Liu Minghui didn’t notice it before?

It's simple, because Otani Taketa didn't dare to fool him.

After several dealings, how dare Takeshi Otani fool Liu Minghui?
I'm afraid it won't be exposed on the spot.

Of course, if Liu Minghui’s first purchase included star anise, he would definitely be surprised to find that it was adulterated with fake anise.

Later on, some people even went to the forum to dig up their graves and apologize, slapping themselves in the face, which was incredibly amazing.

Of course, this is a story.

Under the camera, Takimoto Miki was frying aniseed and ginger slices in a hurry.

The more you copy it, the better it feels, and the more you fry it, the more comfortable it becomes, until you lose track of time.

Liu Minghui was a little speechless, didn't he talk for 3 minutes?

Why is Takimoto Miki still in the market?
Thinking of the question she asked before, "What should I do if the star anise is not enough after the Mangcao selection?"

Liu Minghui has a black streak.

What if the octagon is not enough?
Of course it is salad.

There will be some difference in flavor if there is less star anise, but it won’t be too fatal.

No, it cannot be eaten.

Liu Minghui coughed and said, "It's time."

"Beginners who have trouble grasping time are advised to set an alarm clock."

"Now add water to the pot and bring to a boil over high heat."

"Not too much water, depending on the number of branch beans."

"Just enough to cover the edamame."

"Of course, if you're not sure, you can just add a little more water."

It was only then that Miki Takimoto realized that she had overhyped herself.

Quickly add water to the pot.

This addition has added a lot.

Probably just added a little bit more water.

He quickly asked in a panic: "Master Liu, what should I do if I add too much water?"

"Dump some directly?"

Liu Minghui wanted to cry a little.

I asked you to help me find a novice, but there is no need to find me a pure and cute newbie.

This time, Takimoto Miki's surprise turned into shock.

Liu Minghui sighed and said: "Don't cover it, boil it over high heat and let it dry out a little."

"After evaporating excess water, turn to low heat and simmer slowly for about 10 minutes."

"Bring out all the spices of the aniseed and then add some salt and pepper to taste."

"Add a little more for a strong taste, and a little less for a light taste."

"Since it is diluted with water, there is no need to be afraid."

"Relax and boldly add."

This time Miki Takimoto didn't ask how much should be put.

She was afraid that Liu Minghui would hang up the phone if she asked any more questions.

After thinking about it, she just sprinkled a lot of salt on it.

After all, it is such a big pot of water, so adding more salt should be fine.

But only one handful is too little.

After thinking about it, Miki Takimoto grabbed another half handful of salt.

Seeing the snow-white salt disappear into the water, Miki Takimoto hesitated, and grabbed another handful of salt.

But just when she was about to put it into the pot, Liu Minghui stopped her and said:

"The salt just now is too much."

"No more salt is needed."

"Otherwise the salty taste will overwhelm the delicious taste of stewed beans."

Takimoto Miki's hand immediately shook and sprinkled most of the entire handful of salt.

She felt that Liu Minghui was like a fortune teller and an elusive ghost.

He actually predicted her movements.

Liu Minghui can't do it without predicting.

In fact, through the sound, he felt that the first pinch of salt was enough.

After adding another half a handful, it was already a little salty.

In order to prevent himself from overturning, he could only speak directly regardless of whether Takimoto Miki wanted to join or not.

Directly interrupt possible spellcasting.

Stirring the raw materials in the pot vigorously, Miki Takimoto's forehead was already sweating slightly.

She really didn't expect that just making such a simple dish would make her so tired.

It's hard to imagine how tired those who cook every day will be.

After estimating the time, Liu Minghui continued to guide: "Turn off the fire and wait for the brine to cool down."

"In order to save time, I can only use some black technology."

"Is the ice cube ready?"

"Wrap the pot directly with ice cubes to quickly cool it down."

"When the ice cubes melt, replace them with new ice cubes."

"Of course you don't have to do this if you do it at home."

"This is a show after all, so we can't waste too much time."

"While the brine is cooling, start processing the branch beans."

"Only pick the freshest and plump branch beans, wash them, and remove the heads and tails."

"After the twig beans are processed, the brine has just finished cooling."

"It's just right to soak the branch beans in the brine at this time."

"Under normal circumstances, it needs to be soaked for at least one and a half hours"

“The branch beans that have been soaked enough will be more flavorful.”

"It absorbs the essence of brine, and it tastes more delicious."

At this point, Liu Minghui sighed and said, "It's also due to time."

"We can only start cooking directly and make a simple version of braised twig beans."

"Although the taste will be worse, it is still very delicious."

"Don't think cooling and then heating is unnecessary."

"But it is through this step that the braised beans can retain their delicious flavor under high-temperature cooking for a long time."

"It's very simple to cook twig beans, just boil them."

"Just remember not to cover it."

"Braising will cause the twig beans to change color. Once they turn yellow, they won't look that good."

"The taste will be slightly worse."

After receiving Liu Minghui's guidance, Takimoto Miki took action quickly.

Thanks to Ari Takimoto Miki for helping everyone avoid pitfalls and avoid lightning.

Everyone found that as long as they waited a little bit.

When Takimoto Miki asks the question first, she can find the most correct method.

This is simply too convenient.

"Into Life" is indeed a great program.

Not long after, following Liu Minghui's rhythm, Takimoto Miki entered the final stage of cooking edamame.

Seeing the green edamame submerged in the brine that had been simmered for a long time, Takimoto Miki also started to look forward to it.

This is the fruit of your own labor.

Maybe it will be delicious?

But thinking of the countless pitfalls she stepped on in the process, Miki Takimoto was a little frustrated.

In many places it was an irreparable failure.

Coupled with the time limit, the stewed beans made by yourself may be unpalatable?

Although she had been prepared, Takimoto Miki was still a little discouraged when she thought about this result.

Not everything will work out.

While waiting for the branch beans to mature, in order to prevent cold spots.

Takimoto Miki thought for a while and decided to find something to do to liven up the atmosphere at the scene.

In a flash of inspiration, she had an idea.

You can reveal the secret of Yunlong Fried Shrimp in advance and kill this boring time.

At the same time, by doing so, you can also control the time of the "Into Life" program by the way.

Because of Takimoto Miki's clumsy behavior.

The originally simple braised beans were transformed into the grand project of the century by her.

As a result, the cooking time was seriously exceeded.

Of course, there is no problem even if it times out.

Because of the explosive ratings, "Into Life" can completely squeeze the time of subsequent programs.

Anyway, today is Wednesday, and it's not a prime time.

There is a good program on the station, and the president hopes to give "Into Life" more time.

Takimoto Miki took a deep breath, and her temperament changed drastically in an instant.

From being a novice in the kitchen, he instantly transformed into a confident host.

Showing a perfect smile, Takimoto Mixi smiled and said:
"While the edamame is cooking, I won't show off."

"I decided to help you ask Master Liu the question you want to know the most."

"That's what secret Yunlong Fried Shrimp hides."

As soon as Takimoto Miki's words came out, the audience was shocked.

So Wang Zha, she didn't save it to release at the end of the show.

Instead, it detonated ahead of time, which is really a little silly.

After watching Master Liu's revelation, who else would watch the boring "Into Life"?

As soon as Takimoto Miki finished speaking, Kamijou Kiki rushed directly into the live broadcast room excitedly.

He kept gesturing to Takimoto Miki to signal her not to do such stupid things.

Asking this news in advance will only cause the ratings that have finally soared to plummet.

This is something Kamijou Jiyu cannot bear.

This highlight moment should last until the end of "Into Life".

It's just that Miki Takimoto seemed to have not seen Kamijou Jixing, and still talked to himself.

Asked the long-awaited question:

"While waiting for the Zhidou to be cooked, can Master Liu reveal to us the secret of Yunlong Fried Shrimp?"

It's not that she didn't see Kamijou's gesture.

But she felt there was no need to keep the secret of Yunlong Fried Shrimp.

"Into Life" is a cooking teaching program for ordinary people.

Yunlong fried shrimp is too high-end, it can be used as a spice, but it must not be overwhelming.

The only thing that can really keep the finishing touches is the stewed beans produced in this episode.

This is the most suitable thing.

Kamijou Kiki looked at Takimoto Miki who was going his own way and sighed.

Although he was anxious, it was impossible for him to really rush in and stop him at this time.

In addition, this is something Liu Minghui promised to Takimoto Miki.

If it really annoyed these two people and caused Liu Minghui to go back on his word, then it would really be worth the candle.

Forget it.

Be more open.

It's better not to explode at the climax than to have no explosion at all.

Is it possible that Miki Takimoto, a novice, can make delicious dishes?

Returning to his position, Kamijou Jixing saw Miyagawa Kensuke walking over excitedly.

"It exploded, it exploded."

Miyagawa Kensuke said excitedly as he walked.

Kamijou Jixing didn't feel excited at all, and said in frustration:

"It exploded, but it happened at the wrong time."

Miyagawa Kensuke said with some surprise: "Director Kamijou, isn't it good that our forum is going viral now?"

Only then did Kamijou realize that Kensuke Miyagawa was talking about the forum.

He said in disbelief: "How is this possible?"

"How can there be people in the forum we just opened?"

"Not to mention bursting into flames."

"This is simply impossible."

"Make fun of me? Do you still want to do it?"

Kensuke Miyagawa said with an aggrieved look: "How dare I take pleasure in the person in charge of Kamijou?"

"Let me show you our forum."

“Two of the most popular posts have already received hundreds of replies.”

"You know, it's been less than half an hour since these two posts were posted!"

Kamijou Kikiyuki was stunned and took Miyagawa Kensuke's cell phone in disbelief.

Sure enough, I saw two popular posts.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, to make sure he went to the wrong forum.

Muttered: "How is this possible?"

Opening it up, it was the two posts by Jin Gu Caiyue.

The content is to discuss the fake star anise and the recognition of "Into Life" and Miki Takimoto.

Kamijou was a little surprised.

There are so many people replying, and there are more and more trends. "Into Life" is going to be popular!

ecstasy!

An expression of immense joy appeared on Kamijou Kiyuki's face.

At this time, he had forgotten about Miki Takimoto's ability to make opinions, and his mind was filled with the idea that my show would become a hit.

The skyrocketing ratings.

The forum is popular.

The two-pronged approach undoubtedly proves that "Into Life" is a very good program.

Thinking of this, Kamijou Kiki thought of the planner, Takimoto Miki.

and Liu Minghui whom she found.

It can be said that without them, there would be no success of "Into Life".

Kamijou Jixing was not dazzled by the momentary success.

He clearly understands where his success lies.

Maybe even if the first episode of the show fails, I can look at the audience's response and consider whether to give her a chance.

After all, Miki Takimoto's current image has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Temporary substitutions can easily have the opposite effect.

Of course, all this must wait until the final results are announced before we can make a decision.

Now Takimoto Miki's red is just fake red.

Only by resisting the final failure can she be truly popular.

Just at this time, Takuya Yamaguchi walked in.

Ask Shangjou for instructions: "The person in charge of Kamijou, the first episode of the show is coming to an end."

"May I ask when we will arrange the publicity for Mr. Hata."

"If you continue to wait like this, you will miss the best time for publicity."

How could Yamaguchi Takuya not be in a hurry?

He paid 150 million yen out of his own pocket to Yukihiro Hata as a reward.

It was easy to persuade him to agree to participate in the second episode of "Into Life".

It can be said that like the former Miki Takimoto, he used money to get an opportunity for a big gamble.

If she hadn't bought the Yunlong fried shrimp back then, Miki Takimoto would not have had such a deep friendship with Liu Minghui.

There is no doubt that Miki Takimoto won the bet.

I just don't know whether Takuya Yamaguchi's gamble was a win or a loss.

Facing his request for instructions, Yamaguchi Takuya was horrified to find that Kamijou Kikiyuki no longer had the same enthusiasm for him as before.

Kamijou Jixing said sullenly, "Yamaguchi, you came just in time."

"I'm planning to tell you about the second episode of the show."

"People remain the same, but plans must change."
