Buy a house with 30,000 yuan and live in a small town

Chapter 203 Chestnut Roast Chicken
When Liu Wangxue and the four of them arrived at Tao Huayu's house with three of them, the food was already on the table.

When Tao Huayu was on the road, he sent a message to his sister and said that the director was invited.

Tao's father and Tao's mother didn't have much hope at first, but when they heard that they were invited, they immediately beamed with joy. I even went back to my room to change my clothes, as I was afraid that cooking would be stained by oil fumes and it would be impolite to receive the director.

What the old couple was thinking was: "The great director comes to our house for dinner. This is such a face-saving thing. From now on, when we go out and say a few words, our faces will be particularly bright."

Although they had never heard of "Jing Yujun" before, Gu Xuelan told them about it during dinner on the day Liu Wangxue and others came back from Haishi.

Upon hearing this, the old couple realized that several of the TV series they had watched before were produced by this director.

Yesterday, Liu Wangxue invited Jing Yujun to dinner and called Tao Huayu to accompany him. When this boy came back, he bought so many chestnuts that his brother-in-law Qiu Xiangrong knew what he meant without him having to ask.

When Qiu Xiangrong carried the big bag to the kitchen, he said, "Okay, let's make a chestnut dinner tomorrow."

Tao Huayu immediately became very happy, praising his brother-in-law and jumping out one after another as if it was free of charge.

Today, while Tao's father and Tao's mother were peeling chestnuts, they called Liu Wangxue, mother and daughter, and Xu Qingsong over for dinner that evening, and then suddenly had the idea to ask Tao Huayu to invite the director.

After the old couple finished speaking, they denied themselves: "He is a great director. We ordinary people in the countryside shouldn't be able to hire him, right?"

Qiu Xiangrong is a simple-minded man, so he says what he wants: "I'm just inviting people to have a meal. What's there to worry about? Let Hua Yu ask. If people want to come, they can come. If they don't want to come, don't come."

Unexpectedly, the director actually came.

As soon as Jing Yujun arrived, he received the highest courtesy from Tao's father and Tao's mother. After everyone washed their hands, they directly invited people to sit down.

Jing Yujun thought to himself: "I don't have such a big face, I'm just here to get a meal."

Several people on the side looked at the three of them with smiles and declined. Tao Huayu whispered: "Look at this, it looks like a business banquet."

Tao Huaxin pinched him and rolled his eyes vaguely.

In the end, Jing Yujun sat in the second seat next to Tao's father, and kept saying "uncle and aunt", which made Tao's father and Tao's mother happy, and he felt as if his vanity was greatly satisfied.

Jing Yujun's appearance made Tao's father and Tao's mother feel that he was very approachable, just like Boss Du Yunkai and Du, he had no airs.

Judging from his appearance, he should be about the same age as these children. Tao's mother couldn't help but ask questions similar to "household registration check".

This is not considered private. You can find it by just searching on the Internet. Jing Yujun put himself in the position of a junior and answered every question.

Father Tao took the chopsticks and interrupted Mother Tao: "Oh, stop asking, why are you asking these questions? The children are hungry, so I asked them to eat quickly, and the food will be cold soon."

"Ah, yes, yes, eat first, eat first." Tao's mother also picked up the chopsticks and asked Jing Yujun to eat more, "It's all farm food. Can you try it to your liking?"

Tonight's main course is chestnut roasted chicken and chestnut braised pork, both stewed in a casserole.

In the morning, Qiu Xiangrong went to the morning market and happened to meet someone selling three yellow chickens, so he bought two or three alive and killed one of them for cooking. Peel the chestnuts and fry them first, clean the chicken, chop it into small pieces and marinate it, mix it with onions and ginger and fry it until cooked.

Then stir-fry the two together, top with the sauce that has been fried in advance, add an appropriate amount of oyster sauce, dark soy sauce and rice wine, pour boiling water to cover the chicken, sprinkle some pepper, and simmer over low heat for half an hour.

Pour some oil into the casserole and fry some vegetables. Pour a spoonful of scallion oil over the braised chestnut roast chicken next to it, stir-fry and pour it in directly. The soup is thick and bright red in color, and it is piled up to the top.

When it was first taken out of the pot, the compound aroma of sauce penetrated straight into the nose. Now that it has been sitting for a while, the aroma and color still make people move their index fingers.

The chestnut braised pork is also stewed in a casserole, with a layer of fried white sesame seeds sprinkled on top.

The chestnuts are sweet and glutinous, the chicken is tender and chewy, the fat of the pork belly melts in your mouth, and it is thin, sweet and soft. The rice is coated in soup and cannot be retained in the mouth at all. It slides into the stomach after chewing twice.

Several other vegetarian dishes were grown by Tao's mother herself. Simply stir-fried, they seemed to be special snacks on the dinner table. With two chopsticks, you could eat half a bowl of meat.

Jing Yujun thought to himself: "As expected of a good brother, Du Yunkaicheng will not bully me!"

Tao's father and Tao's mother ate their meal and carefully observed Jing Yujun's expression. Seeing that he was particularly satisfied with his meal, they felt a sense of pride rising up in their hearts.

Dad Tao filled Jing Yujun's cup with juice, and the wrinkles on his face deepened with a smile: "Director Jing, how are you? Is the food to your liking?"

Jing Yujun quickly put down the bowl, held up the cup and thanked him. He looked at Qiu Xiangrong and said, "I've heard from Du Yunkai a long time ago that my brother-in-law's craftsmanship is outstanding. I'm shameless enough to come here today. Sure enough, the chef outside is just like you." It’s much inferior to the real thing!”

From this, everyone who had been quiet for a while and just focused on eating started talking.

Jing Yujun couldn't help but remember that there was a slow life variety show before, and he was invited to be a guest as a friend of the main MC.

He and the main MC are not close friends, they are just familiar with each other.

The filming location for that variety show was in a paradise-like place, and the scenery was very beautiful. At that time, he received a script for a costume drama, and he thought to see if he could film the scene there, so he went.

This kind of variety show usually involves experiencing farm work, and then eating, drinking and chatting together. The main MC is also the chef in this variety show. He takes charge of three meals a day, while others take care of him.

Before going, Jing Yujun watched a few episodes to get a better understanding. At every meal, especially the big meal in the evening, people around him praised the host MC's cooking skills.

Jing Yujun is quite looking forward to it - like his master, he likes to eat delicious food. Every time he goes to a filming location, they must search for local delicacies.

That night, with chopsticks and a bowl in hand, Jing Yujun couldn't finish the food after just two bites, so he only ate rice the whole time.

He finally understood why in this variety show, when it’s time to eat, everyone rushes to praise the MC - if you can’t eat, don’t talk too much!
The rainbow farts blew one after another, and there was no lack of food on the table. When everyone was "full" and everyone left, there was still more than half of the dishes left.

Jing Yujun thought, no wonder he talks so much and only opens his mouth. If the food is really delicious, who would have the time to keep talking?
It's just because it's not delicious that you keep talking and praising it. Otherwise, why would you be staring at the bowl in a daze?

Later, Jing Yujun was invited to a similar variety show, but he refused without thinking - he liked directing, not acting.
