"Wow, what does it smell so good."

At this time, a voice came from outside the ancestral hall, and then He Chaoqiong and the Siblings of Sailos walked into the ancestral hall.

During the official broadcast, every time the three appeared in the camera, the picture would pause, and then the identities of the three would be introduced synchronously with text and sound.

"Welcome, welcome."

In front of the camera, Wei Xiong must be pretending.

immediately stepped forward and shook hands with the three of them, and then faced the camera and said, "Today I would like to introduce these two Arab friends very solemnly." ”

"They are Prince Sailos and Princess Shama from the Dubai royal family."

As soon as these words came out, many staff members on the scene who didn't know the relationship between the brothers and sisters of Sailos were immediately dumbfounded, and the boss was inevitably too awesome.

actually asked the prince and princess to be guests.

Of course, they don't think that Wei Xiong is fooling the audience, and when it comes to Wei Xiong's Cheng dù, no one will do this kind of fake to slap themselves in the mouth.

"What is this? It's really fragrant. ”

Syros walked to the table and saw a flower chicken with all the color and flavor.

"It's called 'Hua Chicken', and it's a traditional Chinese dish. According to legend, in the last years of the Song Dynasty, that is, about 800 years from now. ”

"At that time, there was war and chaos, and the people were struggling to make a living."

"A beggar stole a chicken, but he didn't know how to eat it, and just as there was a lotus pond nearby, he wrapped the chicken in lotus leaves."

"Then paste the outer layer tightly with mud and put it on the fire to cook slowly."

"I didn't expect the chicken to be very tasty. Since in China beggars are also called flowers, this delicacy invented by beggars is also called flower chicken. ”

"Of course, after hundreds of years of evolution."

"The method of making zuò called flower chicken now is a little different from that of ancient times."

"In addition, there is an interesting ⊕ "dǐng⊕" diǎn ⊕ "小⊕" says, .2≈3.os_ ↙(); There is a very famous book in Hong Kong, which is set in the Song Dynasty period of China. ”

"There's this dish in this book too."

"Most Hong Kong people should know this dish from this one, but many of them may think that this dish is fictional."

"It's amazing, it's 800 years old."

At this time, the old village chief had already cut the chicken with a knife and divided it into four plates, and when Syros saw this, he immediately asked, "Can I taste it?" ”

"Absolutely."

Wei Xiong also picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth. It's worth mentioning that Syros and Shama both use forks, and they don't use chopsticks.

"It's really delicious, it's the best chicken I've ever had."

"Thank you, village chief." Wei Xiong put down his chopsticks and asked the old village chief, "I don't know if the village chief can teach us how to make this dish called flower chicken." ”

The old village chief smiled: "Of course." ”

"In our Menan Village, every household will make a flower chicken, in fact, it is not difficult to call a flower chicken, if you want to do a good job called a flower chicken, the first priority is to select materials."

"Fennel, ginger, star anise, bay leaves, thyme, nutmeg, shiitake mushrooms and other accessories, I have prepared them for you, but there are two main ingredients: three yellow chickens and lotus leaves you need to find by yourself."

He Chaoqiong asked suspiciously: "The lotus leaf is easy to get, I saw a pond when I came just now, and it was not far from the ancestral hall." ”

"There are lotus flowers in the pond, let's pick some later."

"But what is a three-yellow chicken?"

"The three yellow chickens are actually free-range chickens, there is a bamboo forest in the mountain behind our village, and there are three yellow chickens stocked by our village brigade in the bamboo forest."

"You can catch it yourself."

"But that bamboo forest is quite big, and it's not easy to catch it."

Wei Xiong translated what the old village chief said to the Sailos brothers and sisters in English, and Sailos immediately said excitedly: "Do you want to catch chickens by yourself?" ”

"Watch your tone, Theros."

"If you've studied in the UK, you should know that catching chickens has another meaning." Wei Xiong showed a helpless and depressed expression.

"Well, well."

"Maybe I'm too excited, but it's the first time I've done anything like this, and I think you can understand how I'm feeling."

"Of course, you'll do it later."

The process of Wei Xiong and Sailos's conversation, including every detail of their expressions, was recorded by the surrounding cameras.

At this time, the old village chief said, "You have to go and pick lotus leaves first." ”

"Fresh lotus leaves can't be called flower chickens, you must dry the lotus leaves, now go to pick lotus leaves, and then dry them in the afternoon."

"Tomorrow morning, it's almost there."

"Let's go now, then." Wei Xiong immediately made a decision, and then said to the Sailos siblings, "We are going to go pick lotus leaves first. ”

"Lotus leaves need to be dried before they can be used."

"If you don't pick it now, you may not be able to use it tomorrow."

"It seems that my chicken catching business can only be slowed down." Syros shrugged his shoulders, seeming to regret not being able to 'catch chickens' right away.

"I think you can find a place in Dubai to raise some chickens."

"Dubai is a small place, and it's all desert, you can't find a place like this. In fact, it feels very nice and beautiful to me. ”

"There are many more beautiful places in China than here."

"If you can visit more often, I think you'll enjoy it."

"I do plan to stay in China for a few more days."

The four of them chatted and walked towards the pond He Chaoqiong had mentioned, and after a few minutes, the four of them came to a pond that was several hundred square meters in size.

Maybe it can't be said to be a pond anymore, it should be a lake.

"Are we going to pick the leaves of that plant in the lake?" Shama pointed to the lotus flower more than ten meters away from the shore and asked He Chaoqiong.

"That plant is called the lotus, and its leaves and fruits are edible."

"How do you pick it? Do you want to go straight into the water? Shama turned her head to look around the lake, and soon her eyes lit up: "There are two boats over there." ”

"There really are two boats."

Wei Xiong also saw the small wooden boat.

At this time, there were many villagers around watching, Wei Xiong took a look, and then walked towards an old man who looked to be fifty or sixty years old.

"Uncle, do you know whose two boats in the lake belong to?"

"It's the village brigade." This old man was obviously facing this kind of scene for the first time, and he was both curious and nervous, and the key was that he spoke in dialect.

Wei Xiong didn't understand.

Fortunately, the old village chief appeared in time and helped him out of the siege.

"These two boats belong to the village brigade, you can use them, but you can only seat a maximum of three people on each boat, otherwise the boat is too small and may capsize."

"Thank you, village chief."

"By the way, I forgot to say one thing, except for some accessories, there are no main ingredients for cooking, including today's lunch."

"But you can pick more lotus leaves and lotus seeds."

"Then exchange the ingredients with the villagers so you can cook at noon."

"Xiong, what did he say?" Syros asked.

"We will live here from today until tomorrow afternoon, and we will have to take care of everything ourselves, but the village will not provide us with the ingredients."

"We need to pick more lotus leaves and fruits to exchange for ingredients from the villagers."

"Otherwise, we'll go hungry."

"Oh my God, that's not good news." Sailos may have studied in the UK, and his words and deeds are very Western.

As the so-called male and female matching, work is not tiring.

The four of them were in pairs, Wei Xiong and Shama were in a group, and Sailos was in a group with He Chaoqiong, and for safety, Shama and He Chaoqiong both wore life jackets.

Originally, Wei Xiong and Sailos were also going to wear them.

But Wei Xiong can swim, and he feels that the life jacket is an obstacle to his image, so he refuses.

Theros is for the same reason.

Of course, in order to shoot up close and achieve the best results, each boat has a videographer carrying a bulky camera.

In this way, the task of rowing can only be done by the four of them.

And because the boat is too small, there are three people seated, and there is still a certain danger, not the danger of people, but the bulky camera.

If the ship capsizes.

People dǐng more wolf bèidiǎn, but the camera must be soaked.

Once ready, Wei Xiong and Shama got on the boat first, followed by the cameraman and the camera. On the other side, the same goes for Sailos and He Chaoqiong.

"You sit down, I'll paddle."

A long bamboo pole was used for rowing, and Wei Xiong stood on the side of the boat, and the bamboo pole was propped up so hard that the bow of the boat slowly slid forward.

In fact, this lake is very small, as long as you are careful diǎn, it is not a big problem.

Wei Xiong only held two strokes, and the boat slid out seven or eight meters, and there were lotus leaves within reach, but Wei Xiong still held two more strokes before stopping.

In addition to picking lotus leaves, their purpose is also lotus seeds.

In Chinese tradition, lotus seeds are used both as a Chinese medicinal herb and as an ingredient, such as lotus seed soup, which has the effect of clearing heat and smoothing qi.

"Let's start here."

Wei Xiong put the bamboo pole horizontally on the boat and sat down, and when he saw Shama holding both sides of the boat with both hands, he couldn't help but smile: "Have you never been on this kind of boat?" ”

"This is my first time on a boat."

"Hehe, don't worry, I'm here, it's fine, and even if the boat really capsizes, it's okay, I asked just now, this lake is less than two meters deep."

"And you're wearing a life jacket."

It seemed that Wei Xiong's words had an effect, and the tension on Shama's face subsided a lot, and she smiled slightly and said, "It feels quite interesting." ”

"This is the first time I've been exposed to such an environment."

"Compared to Dubai, China does have a lot of places to go." As he spoke, Wei Xiong stretched out his hand and folded off a lotus leaf on the side of the boat.

"Broken off from the roots."

Handing the folded lotus leaf to Shama, Wei Xiong reached out again and plucked a lotus seed: "This is a lotus seed, a good ingredient." ”

"You probably haven't eaten it, but I'll be able to make a dish with this later."

Shama took the lotus seed and looked at it.

"After I came to Hong Kong, I read some reports about you, which said that you can cook and cook very well, is it true?"

"It should be okay."

"I can give you a taste of my craft at noon."

Two small boats shuttle back and forth in the lake, lotus leaves are very easy to pick, everywhere, mainly because it takes a diǎn effort to pick lotus seeds. And compared to Wei Xiong's steady.

Sailous and He Chaoqiong's boat was in danger several times.

The main reason is that when Sailos was holding the pole, he used too much force, and the strictest time was to shake the photographer who was focusing on the camera into the water.

It lasted nearly half an hour.

The two boats docked one after another, and the Qing diǎn harvested it, which was naturally more than Wei Xiong's.

"Have you ever practiced, why do I see that you can turn the ship around accurately?" Sailos said a little unconvinced.

"There is an old Chinese saying that if you have never eaten pork, you have seen a pig run."

It means that I haven't experienced it myself, but I know what it's all about. I've seen it on TV, so I'm more familiar with it than you. ”

"In fact, you've done pretty well."

"Really?"

"Of course, at least the ship didn't capsize."

Hearing this, a helpless expression suddenly appeared on Syros's face.

"We can keep enough lotus leaves and lotus seeds, and exchange the rest." Wei Xiong asked the other three for their opinions.

"Let's leave five leaves for lotus leaves, so as not to break them when you get them, or have to redo them."

"As for lotus seeds, don't you know how to make lotus seed soup, and keep some too." He Chaoqiong said as she divided the loot into two parts.

Then he put the extra one in two baskets.

"Let's split into two ways, the accessories are already available, so we don't need to change them, just change the beef, fish, or vegetables."

Muslims don't eat pork, and this diǎn film crew has been prepared for a long time.

Syros took the initiative to lift the basket and gestured down an alley to the left.

"Let's go that way."

"Yes." Sailous and He Chaoqiong set off immediately, and a moment later, they stopped in front of a private house, and an old woman sat at the door.

He Chaoqiong stepped forward and asked:

"Grandma, I have some lotus leaves and lotus seeds here, can I exchange some fish or vegetables with you?"

The old woman looked dazed, looked at He Chaoqiong and Sairos, and then looked at the photographer and other staff members with the camera.

I don't know what I'm talking about.

Seeing this, He Chaoqiong immediately gave up, and didn't care whether the old grandmother understood it or not, after thanking him, he and Sailos continued to move forward.

"This is the first time you've experienced this, right?"

"Indeed." Sailos smiled, he didn't speak just now, one is that he doesn't know Chinese, and the other is that he doesn't know how to speak at all.

"It must be embarrassing."

He Chaoqiong said with a smile: "After all, it is your prince, and from childhood to adulthood, he has been surrounded by a large number of attendants and servants, and even his clothes have been helped to wear." ”

"Not to mention anything else."

"There is a diǎn of embarrassment, but I don't think it's anything, maybe I'm from a noble background, but I never think I'm superior."

"And the experience taught me something."

"Can you tell us about the Dubai royal family? You don't have to be too private, just something that the outside world can know, I'm quite curious about your kind of family. ”

He Chaoqiong's task is to get Sailous to say something about the Dubai royal family.

For royalty.

Despite being just a royal family of a small country.

But I believe that the audience in front of the TV will still be very interested. Of course, everything related to the Dubai royal family, in the end, will be broadcast, or cut.

Wei Xiong will ask for the opinion of Syros first.

Not to mention that He Chaoqiong and Sailos are not good on their side, and the situation of Wei Xiong and Shama on the other side is not much better, and they can't even ask the two to no avail.

"You're sure these things can actually be exchanged for ingredients."

Shama's expression has diǎn loss.

She didn't know that these were plots designed by the film crew, and after a few blows, the curiosity and excitement at the beginning had long been worn off.

"Absolutely."

"Then if we can't change it, what will we eat at noon?" Shama showed a small grievance on her face, and the camera immediately gave a close-up of her expression.

I have to say that Shama's facial features are really exquisite.

And with an exotic atmosphere, the attraction is naturally extraordinary.

"No problem, trust me."

"Let's go inside this house." As he spoke, Wei Xiong had already pushed open the small wooden door outside the courtyard, and there was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl and a middle-aged woman inside.

The two were tidying up a shed in the yard covered with vegetable vines.

"Excuse me."

"What's the matter?" The girl who was questioning was in Mandarin, and the girl looked very excited when she saw Wei Xiong and Shama, as well as the camera.

"This, that's it, we need some ingredients for cooking at noon, I have some lotus leaves and lotus seeds here, can I exchange them with you?"

The girl talked to the middle-aged woman.

Then he replied, "Yes, what do you want to change?" ”

"Beef, fish and vegetables are fine."

"Wait a minute." The girl walked into the house with the middle-aged woman, and after a few moments, the girl came out with a plastic bag.

"Here's two sea bass and some cabbage, and a few eggs, is that enough?"

"Enough is enough."

Wei Xiong hurriedly exchanged the lotus leaves and lotus seeds in his hand for the plastic bag in the girl's hand, and with these, the noon meal was finally settled.

Of course, it would be better if He Chaoqiong and Sailous could exchange some more things.

"I'll just say it's fine."

Wei Xiong lifted the bag and shook it in front of Shama's eyes with a slight smugness. At this time, the loss and grievance on Shama's face had disappeared without a trace.

Instead, a big smile is on.

"Great, so you can eat your own food at noon."

This excited appearance made Wei Xiong slightly stunned, he had known Shama for so many years, and it was the first time he had seen Shama's emotional side.

"I think you can smile more."

"Get used to it." A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Shama's face, and then she returned to normal.

"Are you strict about women in Dubai?"

"Compared to the vast majority of Arab countries, Dubai is open, and many Sharia rules are not very strict."

"For example, women advocate wearing headscarves when they go out."

"But it's not mandatory, it's completely up to you to decide whether to wear it or not."

"It looks like there's a chance to go to Dubai."

The two chatted and walked to the ancestral hall, and when they returned to the ancestral hall, they waited for a while before He Chaoqiong and Sailos returned, and the trophies were beef, tofu and tomatoes.
