393 The Man at the Top of the Food Chain!
The first stop of the program is a beautiful place called Maolan, located in the southeast of your province, with a rare karst landform in China, because the area is still in a semi-developed state, with a large area of primeval jungle, which is most in line with the requirements of the program team.
The biggest feature of Maolan is that the underground dark river runs through the whole territory, which can be said to have springs in three steps and lakes in five steps, and they are all the best quality natural mineral water, and it is extremely convenient to take water.
Zhou Dong's Wuchang rice was loaded from home when he came, and it was not a superb, but as soon as this rice passed in his hands, it suddenly became the top Wuchang rice used to pay tribute to the emperor that year.
Legend has it that not all of these five permanent rice could be used for tribute, and only the 'green fly rice' of three or four acres of real estate was the top quality, and it had the qualification to enter the Ouchi.
After cooking, the top green fly rice is not only round and visible, but also the rice head shows a turquoise color, faintly oily, just like the head of the green fly, the rice is fragrant like an orchid, rich in nutrition, even if there is no side dishes, it tastes the same sweet.
Zhou Dong walked out of a few dozen meters and found a small lake, took water to wash the rice, lit an alcohol stove and began to steam in a thin crockpot.
This pot of rice cost him hundreds of appreciation points, so naturally he did not hesitate to use the legendary vegetable washing skills, and he had to use this most traditional way of cooking rice.
Modern people are accustomed to cooking rice in the rice cooker, but they don't know that the rice produced in this way is soulless at all, and it is simply a waste of food!
Really delicious rice must be cooked in a thin crockpot, first boiled with a civil and military fire until the soup is basically gone, and then pressed a slight fire, simmered on the stove, while simmering, while rotating the crockpot from time to time, so that the bottom of the tank is more heated, and the bottom of the tank is less heated, a can of rice usually lasts more than half an hour, and only by doing this rice can you get a browned and crispy pot, which is the world's first-class delicacy.
The people in the program team and several celebrity guests watched Zhou Dong fetch water and cook in amazement, especially the way the thin crockpot cooked, which made them almost think that they had traveled to ancient times, but they had seen such a scene in the TV series, but they had never seen it in real life, let alone today in the 21st century, no one used this thing to cook rice even in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China?
Huang Bo looked at the compressed biscuits in his hand and the shriveled vegetables dug out of the can, and then looked at the crockpot with the aroma of rice gradually emerging from Zhou Dong's side, and secretly swallowed: "Chef Zhou, why do you go out with an alcohol stove? Also, do you like to use crockpots for cooking?"
"Hehe, Mr. Huang doesn't know this, whether you use an iron pot or a stainless steel rice cooker to cook rice, you will inevitably lose the word 'through'.
Rice is like a human being, a person needs to breathe to survive, doesn't rice need it?
The clay pot has a small density, higher permeability, and gentle heat, so it is much better than using a metal pot, which is why the decoction of traditional Chinese medicine also needs a clay pot; ”
Zhou Dong turned the crockpot with a smile and simmered on the alcohol stove: "As for this alcohol stove...... Those of us who are chefs are still professionals if we don't carry an alcohol stove with us?
Actually, the main reason is that time is limited, and if there is enough time, I don't like to use it, and the rice cooked with firewood is more fragrant. ”
Huang Bo looked at Zhou Dong for a while, shook his head for a long time and said, "Exquisite, Chef Zhou is really particular about eating!"
To be honest, I haven't eaten rice cooked in a crockpot since I've grown up. ”
Several celebrities looked at Zhou Dong, and said in their hearts Huang Bo just asked casually, do you need to say it in such detail? We only have compressed biscuits and canned vegetables that the dogs ignore in our hands!
After about thirty minutes, Zhou Dong sniffed the overflowing rice fragrance on the crockpot, knew that the fire had come, and hurriedly took the crockpot down, put the whole can of rice into the large lunch box that he asked for from the program team, and poured all the red stewed sauce and meat into the crockpot and heated it on the alcohol stove.
After a while, bursts of flavors mixed with the aroma of pork belly, beans and radish after eating the oil came out, mercilessly burrowing into the noses of a hungry celebrity guest.
"It's so delicious, and the rice...... It's not just ordinary rice!"
Cheng Yuqi took a bite of the compressed biscuit and found that something was wrong, this thing was almost like chewing sawdust in her mouth, she choked uncomfortably if she didn't drink water, and it rose badly when she drank water, turning her photogenic melon seed face into a small round face!
Taking advantage of people's inattention, Cheng Yuqi peeked at Zhou Dong who was hot and wondered how to eat a bite?
In fact, not only these guests, but also the people in the program team also looked at Zhou Dong with blank eyes.
Although the lunch box provided by Mango Station is not bad, I don't know why, but at this time, it tastes the same as chewing wax.
The camera can see it most clearly in the long-distance high-definition lens, the rice that Zhou Dong puts in the bowl is like a soldier who has undergone strict training, the plump rice grains are neatly arranged, and the rice head part is green and translucent, like an emerald!
Teacher Huang gasped when he saw it: "This is a green fly!"
Do you think those 'rice heads' look like the heads of green-headed flies?
This is the legendary tribute rice, it is said that not every acre of land can grow in the production area, that is, there are only a few acres of land, but also depends on whether the rain is abundant, whether the soil is strong enough, and there is no way to produce without any conditions. ”
Teacher He was speechless: "So precious?"
"That's not it, I heard that whenever the 'green fly rice' is produced, there are some rich bosses who drive special cars and bring boxes of banknotes to buy.
But even if they traveled thousands of miles to the production area, it is still a matter of whether there was green fly rice produced and whether it could be bought.
But they still rush to try their luck every year, because this rice is not only very delicious, but also said to be very nourishing, and has the title of 'rice ginseng'. ”
"Oh, that's it......"
Teacher He nodded, picked up an empty lunch box and walked over to Zhou Dong with a smile.
"Brother Zhou, you cooked a lot of this bowl of rice, I'm afraid you can't finish it alone, right?"
"Yes, this rice is also the first time I have cooked it, I didn't expect it to be quite good, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it......"
The big white bowl in Zhou Dong's hand was almost as big as a person's head, and there were two scorched yellow pots piled on top of the big bowl full of green fly rice, like a small mountain.
"It's the first time I've seen such good rice, if Brother Zhou can't finish it, let me help you digest it?"
"That's okay, but Mr. He, can you eat my things, not afraid of violating the rules of the program team?"
"Haha, I'm not a guest, I don't need to be subject to this restriction at the moment,
Unless it's when 'Brother Beck' arrives, if he wants to restrict me, then I can only be like everyone else. ”
"Oh, this Bei Ge has a lot of power, isn't he?"
Zhou Dong said as he said why the teacher divided a bowl of rice out, and the two pots were also divided into one for him, and the golden pots were stacked on top of the turquoise rice, like a huge piece of gold inlaid with jade, and everyone was extremely greedy, Teacher He, you are really not kind!
"Yes, we have two souls in this show, one is Brother Zhou, who represents the 'angel', and the other is 'Brother Bei', who represents the devil.
But you, the angel, participate in the show once a week, but he will be there every day, well, it is estimated that we will meet him at the Qinglong Lake in front......
Without further ado, I'm a little hungry. ”
Seeing green fly rice up close is different from watching from a distance, and the tempting aroma of rice makes Mr. He salivate, and he feels that he can eat a big bowl without vegetables!
Picking up the chopsticks, Mr. He was about to start making, but was stopped by Zhou Dong and said: "Eating two bites of rice first, and then pouring rice with red stewed sauce and meat is the most correct way to eat." ”
"Oh, I see...... It's delicious......"
As long as the emerald rice grains are gently chewed in the mouth a few times, the burst of sweet aroma fills the whole body and mind, accompanied by the click sound of chewing the pot, the red stewed sauce meat that has been hot to the roll is poured into the bowl with peanuts, soybeans, diced white dried tofu, and diced radish, and gently stirred a few times with chopsticks, the taste is ...... Even if you give it to a fairy, you won't change it!
The two of them ate very sweetly, but they suffered a few celebrity guests, Wu Jing was okay, when he was training at the African base, what kind of hardship did he not eat?
But where have other people ever eaten such bitterness? I have heard of this thing of compressed biscuits, and when I really eat it, I know that this thing is too tricky, not to mention that it is dry and unpalatable, and if I don't get it right, I will choke on my throat.
In fact, even in the field infantry team, this thing is only used for emergency purposes, not to mention that the old and beautiful young master soldiers can't eat it, and our Huaxia Army team is also provided by the cooking class under normal circumstances.
Looking at the steaming and fragrant bowls of Zhou Dong and Teacher He, the juicy green fly rice became more and more crystal shining in the sun, and even the saliva of the two little beauties Cheng Yuqi and Shu Sing was about to drip to their chests, how could Shuai Lei Lei suffer this? He threw the compressed biscuits on the ground and said angrily: "I haven't seen 'Brother Bei' torture us like this, when will we be a leader?"
No, I'm going to eat Chef Zhou's rice too, and what kind of dish is there?"
Teacher Huang, who was also dissatisfied, said: "Red stewed sauce meat." ”
"Yes, it's the red braised sauce pork, it's so fragrant! I've never tasted this kind of food!"
Teacher He quickly took a few bites of food, looked up and replied: "That's not good, you have to pay liquidated damages for violating the contract, and you won't have to say anything more." ”
After speaking, he picked up his bowl and took a photo to Shuai Leilei: "Teacher Sun, look, I didn't lie to you, right?"
Zhou Dong also nodded: "It's really gone......"
A few celebrities, you look at me, I look at you, touching the rumbling stomach and wanting to cry without tears, Huang Bo glanced at Zhou Dong and smiled bitterly: "Brother Zhou, are you playing an angel or a devil?"
I'm begging you, next time you're eating, can you keep us from seeing it?
You can eat meat, but please don't smack, it's also a kindness!"
The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, it had already been six or nine heads in spring, and he didn't feel particularly cold in the mountains in the south, but at this moment, Zhou Dong felt the cold wind swishing, and subconsciously shrunk his neck.
The six pairs of eyes of the celebrity guests had turned into twelve knives, staring at him coldly.
The so-called people take food as the sky, and using food to gluttony people is the most hateful thing, and now even Cheng Yuqi is very indignant, Zhou Xiaochu, do you know, I could have barely eaten compressed biscuits, but now I will feel disgusting even if I look at it more!
"Uh......"
Zhou Dong felt that something was wrong, and he had to transfer the contradiction as soon as possible, he glanced at Teacher He and said: "Teacher He, isn't the program team too much, isn't 'Brother Bei' not here yet?"
"Brother Zhou, this has nothing to do with you, that's how we arranged it, and we need the guests to adapt to this kind of life. ”
"How can you say that it doesn't matter?
Now that I think about it, I don't think I should have steamed rice at this time, let alone taken out the red stewed sauce and meat, I really didn't expect that you would even refuse to provide a box lunch to the guest stars, and let people eat compressed biscuits and watch us eat rice sauce and meat, which seems very unkind......"
"Uh, Brother Zhou, it seems to make sense when you say that?"
Teacher He fell into deep thought...... According to the script arrangement, Zhou Dong can naturally eat a boxed lunch for this meal, and the guest stars are compressed biscuits, and the contrast is not too big, after all, according to the contract, during the filming of the show, the guests still have boxed lunches and soup every night, and no one will die of hunger!
And Mango TV believes that feeding the guests until they are half full is actually more interesting.
But who would have thought that Zhou Dong would carry rice and vegetables with him, and after listening to Mr. Huang, it was still a serious 'road dish', which was not only easy to store, but also tasted very beautiful.
That's a bit of a contrast...... Mr. He saw that Shuai Leilei's face had begun to become gloomy, and other celebrities had also begun to be indignant, and he was a little nervous in his heart......
"Then what do you mean, Brother Zhou?"
Teacher He is a smart person, he wants to go down the steps at this time, and Zhou Dong is the right person to send the ladder.
"Teacher He, you won't let the guests eat compressed biscuits and canned vegetables every meal, right?"
"Of course not, the content of the show is to let the guests learn fishing and hunting methods, rely on their own ability to obtain food and exchange points, if you can't get food, or if you don't have points, you can't eat even if you compress cookies......"
Suddenly, seeing Wu Jing's eyes looking at him coldly, Teacher He smiled and said, "Actually, fishing and hunting are not too difficult, Brother Bei will naturally teach everyone, and Teacher Wu has also been trained in this area, right, Teacher Wu?"
Seeing Wu Jing's expression relaxed, Teacher He secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "We can't really starve the guests, there is still a 'guaranteed meal' every day, this meal does not need to be exchanged for points, and we will provide a box lunch and soup every night."
We will make it clear to the audience in the show that our show is not about putting on a show in front of the camera, turning off the camera and having a big meal! That's all we take care of the guests......"
It sounds like Mango TV is serious this time, Zhou Dong nodded secretly, compared to those TV stations that deceive the audience, Mango TV actually has a conscience this time, which is also rare.
"I was hungry for everyone just now, and I am also responsible, can Mr. He give me a face, and send the evening lunch in advance, and let everyone have a full meal?"
Hearing Zhou Dong say this, the eyes of several celebrity guests looking at him suddenly became extremely cordial, this is the angel! Chef Zhou, you are good!
"So?"
Teacher He hesitated and said, "It's not impossible, but the boxed lunch at night is ......."
The guests were dumbfounded, they were playing monkeys, they were full at noon, and if they couldn't eat a boxed lunch at night, it would be even worse!
"I'll figure out a way for this dinner at night, am I not the head chef of angels?"
Zhou Dong smiled slightly, and looked at the rolling mountains in front of him, as the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft water, isn't it necessary to use local materials, what's so difficult about this?
"That's okay, just do what Brother Zhou said. ”
Teacher He shook his head secretly, and said in his heart that this is a big mountain, and it is not easy to find ingredients by fishing and hunting......
Regarding Zhou Dong's statement that he would solve dinner in the vast mountains, the celebrity guests actually didn't have much hope, but it was good to solve the meal in front of them.
Cheng Yuqi ate a tomato and egg rice bowl with satisfaction, and whispered to Zhou Dong: "Zhou Xiaochu Zhou Xiaochu, you said that you can really find ingredients in this mountain, if you can't find you, it will be a shame?"
Zhou Dong smiled and said: "Haven't you heard of relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to eat the water?
"Spring fish?"
"Yes, Maolan spring fish, young scales and fine scales, the fish melts in the mouth, although it is not famous in the lakes and fresh food all over China, it is a very unique freshwater fish. ”
Regarding this kind of fish produced by Maolan, Zhou Dong still heard Ling Zhenfeng, the king of fish from the five lakes, talk about it, and presumably the dignified king of Huaxia fish will not deliberately exaggerate.
When the stomach is full, don't make trouble, this is the 'traditional virtue' of the Chinese people, and the same is true for celebrities.
After eating and drinking, Shuai Leilei's gloomy face instantly turned clear, sitting on the off-road vehicle and talking loudly, what he said was nothing more than some interesting anecdotes in the entertainment industry, he was originally from the three northern provinces, and he was born with his own humorous cells, and he threw out plain jokes one by one, causing Cheng Yuqi and Shu Sing to laugh all the time.
"Hey, this is Qinglong Lake? The water is really old and clear, but I don't see that it looks like a green dragon? By the way, Teacher He, Brother Bei will come here directly? I'm afraid it's not right?"
Shuai Leilei opened the window and looked around, and found that this Qinglong Lake has almost not experienced any development, and the only yellow mud road is just enough for off-road vehicles to pass, and it should have just rained in the past two days, and the road is muddy.
Except for the car from Mango Terrace, there is no other vehicle on all sides, where is this 'Brother Bei' coming from? Can he still fly from the sky?
As soon as Shuai Leilei's words fell, he heard the roar of a helicopter from far and near, and soon reached the top of Qinglong Lake.
"I'm going, it's really flying from the sky? Lao He, do you want to play so big!"
Huang Bo and Shuai Leilei were dumbfounded, that is, Wu Jing was relatively calm, he had seen a guy bigger than this in the African base, and it was loaded with machine guns and rocket artillery.
The helicopter flew to a distance of about ten meters from the lake and hovered in the air, and saw a foreigner's head sticking out of the cabin door, and seemed to wave his hand downward, and then saw him jump off the helicopter in a dog poop posture, and turned over dexterously in mid-air, but his feet broke through the water first.
Bell Grigg replied, the man who claims to stand at the top of the food chain!
