Stop pretending, I am the God of Cooking and I am showing off my cards!

"Before we leave, let's take a photo together."

At the entrance of the TV station, Zeng Xiaoqi and the members of his program team stood in front of the main entrance of the TV station, holding their belongings like migrant workers returning home during the Spring Festival, and asked the security guard at the door to take two photos.

Although everyone was carrying big and small bags and looked a little embarrassed, everyone's faces were filled with smiles.

Instead of hesitation and anxiety about resigning and leaving, they are full of passion and fighting spirit for their new jobs.

Being able to work in the same company as Boss Lin, Chef Xie, Chef Qiu, Chef Guo and other big guys, and also doing the food that everyone is best at and loves the most, is so exciting.

After taking the photo, Zeng Xiaoqi looked at Xiao Wei and asked:

"Have you packed Mr. Tateyama's things?"

"It's all packed up, and it's all in this box... I just discovered that Mr. Tateyama actually secretly hid a small jar of salt and pepper sesame shortbread... Is this made by Boss Lin, senior sister?"

Zeng Xiaoqi shook her head:

"Not necessarily. Chef Niu from the Lin Kee Pastry Department prefers to create dim sum. You can often eat it at Lin Kee."

In the past, I was always drooling over Yanbaobaoshubaobao, but now it’s better. My mother also comes to work on Yingchun Street. It only takes about ten minutes to walk from Huihuang Building to Linji Food.

Humph, let’s see how angry you are with me in the future!

Xiaosui, who is in charge of operations, has many personal belongings. Today she specially brought an oversized backpack to the TV station. She was carrying the backpack and wearing three hats on her head, like a hiking traveler.

After listening to Zeng Xiaoqi's words, the backpacker asked curiously:

"Director Zeng, can we eat at Linji more often in the future?"

"Not often, but every day. The lunch set at Happy Media every day is provided by Linji Gourmet. The food is large and not the same. Several people have switched jobs because the lunch is delicious."

"Wow, then I'm going to get fat?"

"Yes, so you should pay attention to exercise."

Zeng Xiaoqi thought of herself who had gained three pounds and made up her mind to exercise.

While they were chatting, two business cars slowly stopped at the door. Sister Weiwei waved to everyone from the passenger seat:

"Xiaoqi, get in the car!"

This was arranged by Chen Yan. She originally wanted to rent a fleet of vehicles, but she felt it was too much for the villagers, so she arranged two commercial vehicles to pick everyone up from the company.

Complete the onboarding procedures first to avoid long nights and nightmares.

When Zeng Xiaoqi got into the car with her belongings box in her arms, she turned her face and glanced at the door of the TV station, silently bidding farewell to the place where she had worked for four years.

After getting in the car, Sister Weiwei said:

"Originally Mr. Chen was going to pick you up in person, but now he is in a meeting with the head chefs and can't leave, so he asked me to come."

Meeting?

Zeng Xiaoqi asked curiously:

"What meeting are you having?"

"Didn't you resign? We will no longer have the resources of Yanjing Satellite TV, so we summoned the head chefs who are not busy today to the company to explain the matter clearly. By the way, I want to ask everyone what they think of the food program."

Not all chefs are as free of stage fright as Xie Baomin and Dai Jianli, and not all chefs are as young, handsome and personable as Lin Xu.

So let’s communicate with everyone and see how we can bring out the strengths of each chef.

The TV station actually has the resources. As long as Chen Yan nods, Yanjing TV Station will definitely be willing to cooperate.

But Chen Yan would never nod this way.

A good sister has been wronged, but she has restrained herself by not taking revenge and going back.

Cooperation or something... wouldn't it be more appropriate to look for CCTV in the future? In addition to CCTV, there are other satellite TV channels, such as Dragon TV, Jiangnan TV, etc., which are not bigger than Yanjing Satellite TV?

When these people went to the new company with excitement, several leaders in the TV station's office were still worried.

The person in charge of the advertising department named Liu said:

"If that doesn't work, just find a lesser chef. It doesn't have to be a famous chef, and the famous chefs in Yanjing are not only signed by Joy Media, but there are others."

Now it is difficult to get off the tiger, and the program must be held even if it is not held.

The Taiwan leader looked at Zhen Wensheng and asked:

"Lao Zhen, do you have any good suggestions?"

Zhen Wensheng smiled:

"My suggestion is not to bother. If Zeng Xiaoqi hadn't resigned, it would have been okay to apologize. But now...doing a food show again is just humiliating yourself."

His suggestion was rejected:

"Are you kidding me? The sponsor's contract has been signed. Let's just keep doing it while the popularity of Shiwei Renjian is still there. We will release a trailer in the afternoon. The new version of Shiwei Renjian will be revised so that the audience can stay tuned."

"Yes, release a preview of the revised version to increase the popularity. As long as there is popularity, the ratings will not go up."

The copyright of the program "Shi Wei Ren Jian" belongs to the TV station. Even without Zeng Xiaoqi's authorization, they can continue to use this brand.

It’s just that I can’t use the title written by Geng Lishan.

But these are not important. The revised trailer is made more dazzling, the venue is made taller, and the Internet hype keeps up. Maybe it can create new brilliance.

Seeing the complacency of these people, Zhen Wensheng suddenly felt a little discouraged.

The decline of the media industry is indeed not unreasonable.

He took advantage of a break in everyone's discussion and said:

"Recently, the publishing house made an appointment with me to write a travel-related book. I plan to take half a year off to sort out the materials I have accumulated over the years, and take the whole family to Hainan for the winter. The winter in Beijing is too cold, and my parents are a little bit... Can’t stand it.”

Upon hearing this, several leaders had surprises in their eyes.

Let me go, is there such a good thing?

After the travel channel became popular, many scenic spots and hotels were waiting to advertise, but Zhen Wensheng's attitude was always neither salty nor cool, which made the leaders very anxious.

It's fine now. When the Travel Channel takes over, they will immediately start receiving commercial promotions.

Double happiness, this is really double happiness!

Zhen Wensheng wanted to leave before, but he just couldn't let go of his employees.

Now that the employees have a better place to go, it's time for him to say goodbye.

I took my parents and family to Hainan, rented a small villa, sorted out the materials I had accumulated in the past, wrote a book, and walked around the beach in my free time. Occasionally, I would get to the pier early in the morning to buy some freshly caught seafood and cook something delicious for my family. …

Zhen Wensheng has been longing for this kind of life for a long time.

On the other side, downstairs of Huihuang Building, everyone got off the car and followed Sister Weiwei upstairs.

When I arrived at the company, I happened to meet Dai Jianli and Xie Baomin.

"Hey, are you here to catch up with the Spring Festival?"

Dai Jianli held the teacup and looked at everyone's big and small bags and found it quite interesting.

Xiaowei said:

"Chef Dai, please don't laugh at us. We have been so busy since the morning that we haven't even bothered to eat breakfast yet."

Xiaosui next to him said:

"Come on, you must be thinking about the fried noodles that Mr. Tateyama is going to order for lunch, so you are deliberately keeping your stomach empty."

The office area has been vacated and this is a temporary location.

Chen Yan walked out of the conference room and expressed welcome to everyone:

"I have rented the room next door, and the designer is taking measurements to make a special office area with a kitchen for you to facilitate shooting... Put down your things and go through the entry procedures first. The HR department will help you with social security and other matters. .”

When everyone heard this, they quickly said:

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!"

Chen Yan waved her hand:

"You're welcome! By the way, after completing the formalities, each person will be given a red envelope worth two thousand yuan, which can be regarded as everyone's entry red envelope."

Xiao Wei and the others' eyes widened immediately.

If I go, I’ll get two thousand as a bonus when I join the company. Isn’t this great?

Is it okay if I resign this afternoon and rejoin tomorrow?

Arriving at the Human Resources Department, everyone began to sign their respective employment contracts.

Zeng Xiaoqi said before that the salary would definitely be better than that of the TV station. Xiao Wei and the others thought it had been increased by two to three thousand, but after receiving the contract, they discovered that it was not two to three thousand, but a full double.

Let me go, this is too surprising, right?

Sure enough, it was right to follow Director Zeng. It would be difficult for him to earn such a high income in a TV station even if he played Teng for another three years.

"Thank you, senpai."

"Thank you, Director Zeng."

"Thanks!"

After signing the contract, everyone expressed their gratitude to Zeng Xiaoqi.

If they come directly to Joy Media for an interview, they will definitely not receive such a high salary.

It was obvious that Mr. Chen gave Zeng Xiaoqi so much for his sake, and each of them also received a two thousand yuan red envelope. This was a plot that could not be dreamed of.

Zeng Xiaoqi said with a smile:

"Mr. Chen's salary has nothing to do with me. I'm working for her now... Go pack your things and get acquainted with your colleagues in the company. I'll go to the conference room to see what the meeting is about."

Passing through the long office area, Zeng Xiaoqi greeted Xiao Jia and other familiar people while pushing open the door of the conference room.

Sitting inside were the chief chefs of major hotels, such as Qiu Zhenhua, Guo Weidong, Xie Baomin, Dai Jianli of Diaoyutai, Cheng Jianshe of Yanjing Hotel, Huo Yuanchao of Summer Palace, as well as the chief chefs of the Great Wall Hotel, Kunlun Hotel and other restaurants.

In addition, Lin Xu and Wei Qian were also dragged over by Chen Yan.

Seeing Zeng Xiaoqi, Qiu Zhenhua smiled and said hello:

"The sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly. Congratulations to Director Zeng for opening a new chapter in his career."

Zeng Xiaoqi smiled:

"Thank you, Chef Qiu, for your words."

She sat next to Lin Xu and asked softly:

"What are you talking about?"

"Let's talk about food programs. I would like to hear the opinions of these chefs and their favorite shooting formats."

Zeng Xiaoqi became interested as soon as she heard it. She also wanted to chat with these chefs and hear their opinions on the video shooting.

Lin Xu listened to everyone's chat and read the message from Shen Jiayue:

"Xubao, I just released a preview. Fans want to learn how to use the air fryer."

"Can sugar-fried chestnuts really be made in an air fryer? Will they explode?"

“Can the dried quail that Dundun eats be made in an air fryer?”

"Fans are asking about Sister Xiaoqi's resignation. Do we want to explain it?"

"..."

This girl didn't have any plans this morning. She just played with Dundun at the gate for a while using a remote-controlled car. While Dundun was drinking water and licking her hair and resting, she started sending messages wildly.

Lin Xu replied:

"Sister Xiaoqi's matter depends on the company's arrangements. We don't have to worry about it. Air fryers are not omnipotent. Don't think of using air fryers to cook everything. It's unrealistic. This thing just installs the hot air system of the hair dryer into the pot. It uses hot air to cook the ingredients continuously, so it’s easy to get angry if you eat too much.”

It seems that the heat of the air fryer cannot be overcome in a short period of time.

Why don't you look back and just buy an extra-large air fryer that can cook whole chickens? Let this girl experience the joy of cooking whole chickens in an air fryer.

At almost eleven o'clock, this tea party-like meeting came to an end.

Lin Xu originally planned to ask Xie Baomin and Dai Jianli to go to the store for lunch, but unexpectedly, the two of them took their own photographers to the store to take pictures.

The other head chefs also had to go back to work, so everyone dispersed downstairs in the company.

When Lin Xu left, Zeng Xiaoqi and the members of the program team bought some gifts such as fruits and prepared to take a taxi to Geng Lishan's house to start today's fried dough making activity.

"Boss Lin, aren't you going?"

"No, after lunch, I have to take a food tutorial with Yueyue."

After hearing the food tutorial, Xiao Wei asked out of curiosity:

"What tutorial? What kind of food are you cooking?"

Lin Xu said:

“The air fryer version of sugar-roasted chestnuts.”

"What? Air fryer? Then take a detailed photo."

Xiaosui also said:

"Yes, yes, take pictures in more detail. I'm still waiting to learn."

Good guy, I get so excited when I hear about the air fryer.

Okay, let’s take a detailed photo today.

In fact, there is no need to go into too much detail, because the method of using an air fryer is super simple, and you can basically do it with your hands.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Lin Xu drove back to the store with Wei Qian.

Today’s lunch in the store is relatively simple, braised beans with noodles and egg sour soup. This is a relatively traditional delicacy in North China. It tastes very full and is more suitable for people who work hard.

"Xubao, what do you need to make roasted chestnuts with sugar? I'll prepare them in advance."

Shen Jiayue couldn't wait any longer.

Lin Xu said:

"This is very simple. Just prepare some chestnuts. The seasonings required are sugar, honey and cooking oil. I will teach you when you make it later. Don't worry."

"Okay! Then you eat slowly. I'll go down and trim Dundun's nails with Sister Yun. The little guy scratched my tablet this morning and is planning to use his little vault to buy a new one."

Lin Xu was drinking egg soup. When he heard this, he almost choked.

Do all mothers like to worry about their children’s private money?

I remember when I received the New Year's money when I was a child, my mother would rush over and say that she would save it for herself and take it out when she needed it.

But after so many years, those lucky money have never been seen again.

I originally thought that this habit would never happen in my generation, but I didn't expect that Baby Shen actually learned it by himself.

Sure enough, once you become a mother, you will be the same.

Lin Xu ate a large bowl of stewed noodles and drank a large bowl of egg sour soup. When he came downstairs, he saw Dundun lying on the small roof sulking, ignoring no matter how much he was coaxed.

Shu Yun put the small dried fish in front of him, and it turned its face angrily, showing its backbone.

"what happened?"

"Cut his nails, he's angry."

Seeing Lin Xu, Dundun immediately jumped into his arms and screamed aggrievedly:

"Meow~~~~~~"

He also rubbed his head hard on Lin Xu's shoulder, feeling aggrieved like a 13-pound child.

"If your nails are not cut off, they will continue to grow and eventually penetrate into the pads. Then you will be in trouble. Not only will you need to apply medicine, but you may also need surgery."

Upon hearing this, Dundun felt aggrieved, but her mood improved significantly, and her eyes began to glance at Shu Yun's hands.

It was obvious that the anger was gone, and the backbone was gone as well.

"Eat it if you want. Just think of it as forgiving your mommy and your godmother."

Upon hearing this, Dundun jumped out of his arms and began to eat the dried fish. He snorted from time to time while eating, as if "I forgive you for dad's sake".

Lin Xu rubbed its little head and said:

"Eat quickly, honey. Your mommy and I will take wedding photos tomorrow. Can you take some photos then?"

"Meow!!!!!!"

The little guy swung his tail with joy, pushed the half-eaten dried fish in front of Lin Xu, and lowered his head to eat another complete dried fish.

Lin Xu looked at the half of the dried fish dumbfounded.

This child is filial, but not much.

"While we're not busy at the moment, let's start directly, shall we, Xu Bao?"

"Okay, let's get started."

The young couple came upstairs, prepared the filming equipment, and started filming the air fryer making candied chestnuts.

This method is actually very similar to the family method. They use a knife to cut a cross pattern on the surface of the chestnuts. This not only facilitates ripening, but most importantly, prevents the chestnuts from exploding.

Every winter, chestnuts explode and injure people. The reason is that the chestnuts have no openings and a lot of heat is stored in the hard shell. If eaten directly, it can easily burst into the eyes or face.

The solution is actually quite simple, just make an opening on the surface of the chestnut.

The reason why I chose a cross-shaped knife is that the cross-shaped knife edge makes it easier to curl the chestnut shells.

"There are two ways to prepare cut chestnuts. The first is to soak them in water for twenty minutes to allow the chestnuts to fully absorb the water. Then they can be put into the air fryer for cooking. If you are in a hurry, cook them in the pot for eight minutes. it is also fine."

The method of soaking in water takes a long time, and the frying time in the air fryer also takes more than 20 minutes.

Boiling it not only saves soaking time, but the air frying time can also be shortened to fifteen minutes.

In order to save time, Lin Xu directly chose the cooking method.

When cooking, take a small basin and put honey, sugar, and vegetable oil in it in a ratio of 1:1:1.

Stir evenly, stir and melt the sugar. After the chestnuts are boiled and the water is controlled, take them directly into the basin and mix them evenly with the stirred sugar and oil, so that the surface of the chestnuts is covered with slurry.

Then, place evenly in the air fryer, adjust the temperature to 170 degrees, and set the time for fifteen minutes.

"So simple?"

Shen Jiayue didn't expect it to be so easy and was a little surprised.

"This is not difficult in the first place. Even if you use a wok to make it, it's not troublesome."

"I'll try it myself after the video is finished. If it tastes good, the Sugar-Fried Chestnut Shop will never make any more money from me!"

Lin Xu pointed to the stones in the pot next to him and said:

"Even if you don't learn how, the stores outside can't make money from you... I can just do it for you, and it won't be a hassle."

"Hehe, thank you Xu Bao."

When it's almost fifteen minutes, start recording again.

Lin Xu held the camera and took a close-up of the time knob of the air fryer.

Soon, the time ran out and the pot made a "ding" sound.

Shen Jiayue couldn't wait to pull out the drawer of the fryer, and a pleasant smell of chestnuts wafted out from it. There was even the aroma of caramel in the smell, which smelled very comfortable.

"This scent is a little different, it smells so good!"

Lin Xu nodded, poured the chestnuts onto the plate, took a close-up first, then picked up one, peeled off the shell that had been crisped by the hot wind, and fed the chestnuts into Shen Jiayue's mouth:

"How's it going? Is it delicious?"

Shen Jiayue's eyes curved into crescent moons:

"It's delicious, fragrant and glutinous. It tastes much better than cooking... Originally I wanted to study hard and become an air fryer immortal, but I didn't expect you to be the one."

Lin Xu scratched the girl's straight nose:

"If you can't be an air fryer fairy, you can be an air fryer fairy... Take the time to choose an extra-large air fryer, and I'll teach you how to fry a whole chicken."

These words immediately aroused a certain baby's interest in learning:

"Wow, it sounds so awesome. I'm going to place an order for it now, hahahaha. I can't wait to see Yan Bao and the others' shocked eyes. It will definitely be exciting!"

Lin Xu looked at her excited look and was a little worried about whether it would trigger an arms race among air fryers in the industry.

Alas, the circle of women is more cruel than the circle of fishermen!
