Chapter 240: Happy Valentine's Day
Cao Ping's life now is two points and one line, go home, go to the crew to film, go home again, and then go to the crew to film, it is very regular. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The world in the info studio is day and night, and many times when the headlights are turned off, everyone guesses that it is already late at night outside.
Ying Bao is going abroad to record the show after the New Year, so she can rest at home during this time before the year, but Cao Ping has to be filmed in the crew. This is also the norm for couples in the entertainment industry, and it is normal for many people to not see each other for several months or even a year and a half because of different schedules or far away places of work. Cao Ping and the two are still close, if they finish early, Cao Ping will drive back, sometimes Cao Ping is late for filming, and he can't go back, so he can only live in the film and television base. When Cao Ping couldn't go back, Ying Bao stayed at home alone to watch TV, fortunately, Sister Dao was there, and Cao Ping was not worried about Ying Bao's safety.
After witnessing the scenes of Cao Ping and Feng Xiaogang's drama, Guan Hu learned about Cao Ping's real performance level, as if he had discovered a new continent, he was very happy to add several scenes to him, and Cao Ping couldn't say that he wouldn't act. After all, everyone is working overtime all day and all night to shoot, and older actors such as Feng Xiaogang and Liu Hua are insisting, so Cao Ping can only be more serious when performing, and try to make his role not NG.
But Guan Hu and Feng Xiaogang seem to want to try how far Cao Ping's potential can reach, and constantly increase the amount of Cao Ping, in order to plump up the role of Xiaofei, Guan Hu even added a lot of scenes to Yu Hewei, and let him play against Cao Ping.
Cao Ping calculated, in this way, his role has surpassed Li Yifeng, he told Guan Hu about the situation, Guan Hu asked him to only take care of acting, he will do the editing, Cao Ping can only continue to act, but the funds are a little tight.
When he saw the script, Cao Ping once thought that his investment of 100 million yuan should not be exhausted, but when it was time to shoot, he found that there was not much to use for exterior scenes, and a large number of shots needed to be post-production, and the estimated post-production cost had greatly exceeded that of "Flower Thousand Bone". This also let Cao Ping know that he will not see the release of this movie in a short time, and if he can't keep up with it in the later stage, it will have to be delayed for 16 years.
Soaking in the studio for a long time will make people forget the time, this day suddenly ended at noon, Guan Hu asked everyone to pack up and go home for the New Year, Cao Ping only reacted, there are five days left to Chinese New Year's Eve.
Cao Ping went home every day, brought very few things, said goodbye to the big guy, and then he went out and drove back to Beijing.
This is the first time he has driven home during the day in these days, and it took three kilometers of high-speed entrance to the city to make Cao Ping feel like the capital again.
Driving the car with one foot of oil and one foot of brakes mixed in the traffic, Cao Ping took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, it was half past four in the afternoon, according to this posture, it was not after six o'clock in the city?
When he was stuck in traffic, he was most bored, so Cao Ping turned on the radio and listened to the radio to relieve his boredom.
casually adjusted the frequency, and the voices of two hosts, a man and a woman, came out of the stereo: "Welcome back, I am your old friend Zhan Jun." ”
"I'm Xin Chang!"
"So did Pu Shu's "Those Flowers" just now evoke your memories of first love?"
"Well, this is also a song that I really liked to listen to when I was in college, and I remember that there would be a boy who would go to the bottom of our dorm building with his guitar and sing this song every day, trying to chase a girl in our dorm room. ”
"It can't be you, right?"
"How dare he?"
"Haha, then again, isn't tomorrow Valentine's Day? Have you ever planned a romantic candlelit dinner with your boyfriend?"
"No, we see each other every day, and every day feels like Valentine's Day to us!"
"Wow! You have sprinkled enough dog food, but as you said, two people are together, as long as they love each other, then every day is like Valentine's Day, so please enjoy the next classic old song, Zhang Yusheng's "Miss You Every Day". ”
"Welcome to the ......"
The music sounded, Cao Ping took out his mobile phone in confusion and called up the calendar to look at it, and found that tomorrow was indeed Valentine's Day, no wonder Guan Hu would choose to have a holiday today! Yingbao didn't know the news of the holiday, and must have thought that he didn't have time, so he didn't remind himself. But now that he has remembered the days, after all, it is the first Valentine's Day after the two are together, Cao Ping decided to have a good time.
There are more and more high-speed traffic jams, and by the time Cao Ping drove into Beijing, the sky was already dark.
didn't go home, Cao Ping drove directly to Carrefour, ready to buy something and go back to decorate it.
The refrigerator at home was half empty, Cao Ping bought a lot of meat and egg dishes to replenish it, the candlelight dinner mentioned on the radio just now was good, Cao Ping bought a few more candles, since he ordered candles, he simply made a small cake, and he pushed the cart to buy a few boxes of chocolates and a box of whipped cream.
I haven't bought the New Year's goods yet, but the things I bought at home can't be put on hold, so I can only come out tomorrow to buy them.
After returning home, Cao Ping parked the car in the garage and came out with two big pockets of things, and Ying Bao had already heard the voice and came out to open the door.
"Why did you come back so early today? What is this?" asked Ying Bao, holding the yogurt box in one hand.
"Didn't eat again?" Cao Ping glanced at the yogurt box in her hand, turned sideways to bring things in, and said, "The crew is on vacation, so I went to the supermarket to buy something." ”
"It's a holiday, great! I've got something to eat!" Ying Bao cheered and threw the yogurt box.
Cao Ping glanced at her and said, "Didn't I teach you how to make stewed rice?"
"I want to eat noodles......," Ying Bao said, biting the yogurt spoon.
"Then you buy some noodles and eat them?" Cao Ping took out all the things and stuffed them into the refrigerator in different categories.
Ying Bao leaned against the door frame and said, "But I want to eat handmade noodles......"
"Uh...... You have a point. Cao Ping was defeated, turned around and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Ying Bao opened his mouth and came: "Braised beef brisket in red wine, put more thyme, fresh mushroom and crab meat soup, braised prawns in oil, and then stir-fried water spinach." ”
"Hey, I'm getting better at eating!" Cao Ping looked at the shrimp and crabs that he had just taken out, and said with a smile: "Are you looking at the dishes?"
"Uh-huh! I'm tired of you!" Ying Bao diligently put on an apron for Cao Ping, pushed it to the stove, and said with a smile: "You are busy first, I'll make you tea!"
Cao Ping praised without replying: "Well! Yes! ”
Except for the braised beef brisket in red wine, the other dishes were made relatively quickly, and Cao Ping prepared the main course and dessert first.
If you want the beef to be soft and rotten, you have to cut the tendons first, and after patting it carefully with a knife, Cao Ping cut the brisket into small pieces and marinated it with a little salt, black pepper and oil.
Wash two carrots and an onion, quickly cut them into pieces, stir-fry them with bay leaves, and then you can fry them.
Ying Bao walked in with a cup of tea in both hands, and shouted loudly: "Master, please use tea!"
Cao Ping took it with satisfaction, took a sip, and suddenly stared at his eyes and said, "It's too hot!"
Ying Bao hurriedly stretched out his head and blew it on him, Cao Ping lowered his head and took a sip again, his eyes widened, and he said, "It's too cold!"
Ying Bao made a gesture, pretended to pose a few times at the cup, and said, "Okay!"
Cao Ping took another sip: "Tai...... It's not hot or cold!"
Sister Dao, who was holding a water cup, walked by the door, glanced at them lightly, and dropped a sentence: "Two fools ......" and went upstairs again.
"Do you hear me?"
"! Obviously say we're stupid!"
“...... Your IQ is basically goodbye to watches. ”
"What kind of bicycle do you want?"
"Go, go, don't mess with me here. Cao Ping pushed out Yingbao, who was addicted to acting in sketches, turned around and hurriedly stir-fried, and then continued to make trouble, and the dessert was ready until midnight.
I poured some oil into the pot, poured the similarly marinated beef brisket into the pot and stir-fried it a few times, and when the surface was slightly browned, I washed a tomato and cut it into pieces with a quick knife and poured it into the pan to stir-fry into a sauce. Cao Ping doesn't like to use ketchup very much, probably because of the shadows left by his childhood. When he was in junior high school, he went to play at a classmate's house, he went to deliver food to his father in the ketchup factory, and Cao Ping saw with his own eyes that the old sauce with smelly maggots was returned to the oven at high temperature and mixed with the new sauce to sell together, so he never had to buy ketchup again. When he has time, he makes some ketchup himself, and if he doesn't have time, he prefers to use fresh tomatoes rather than ketchup.
When the tomatoes have turned into juice, Cao Ping pours the broken carrots, onions and bay leaves into a pot and stir-fries until fragrant, and then pours red wine into the heat and boils. When the smell of sake is out, add the stock stock in the refrigerator, boil it again, pour the broth into the pot, and put it on another stove to simmer.
The brisket is very simple to make, but the most troublesome thing is the cake, and before making it, Cao Ping first took out a few large pots for backup.
Beat four eggs, find a bottle of mineral water, suck out the yolk, and set it aside for later use. After adding some fine sugar and a little whipped cream to the egg whites, Cao Ping took out the whisk and plugged it in until the egg whites were foamy.
Add some sugar, oil and milk to the egg yolk, sift some flour into it with a fine sieve, stir it quickly, and then add the beaten egg whites, stir well, this is the egg paste that makes the cake base.
Brush the bottom of the rice cooker with a layer of oil, pour the cake batter into it, adjust the time, and wait until it is steamed, and the cake base is ready.
Sister Dao is also there, so naturally she can't let people watch Yingbao eat, so she has to make one for her. Putting the base of the cake on the board, Cao Ping took the slender fruit knife from the wall, inserted it firmly into the cake and turned it around twice, and two round cake embryos appeared. After cutting the embryo from the middle, there was strawberry jam made in the summer in the refrigerator, Cao Ping found it, smeared a layer in the middle, put it on the net of the oven, and brought it to the basin for later use.
Pour the bought chocolate into a small soup pot, boil it into chocolate juice, pour it on the cake embryo while it is hot, the excess chocolate flows down from the gap in the net and falls into the basin, and the cake embryo on the net has been evenly coated with a layer of chocolate shell, smooth without a trace of bubbles, it looks very delicious.
After cooling a little, use a spatula to shovel the cake down, put it on a plate, then use chopsticks to dip it in chocolate juice and write a few strokes on the plate, and finally put a sparkling orange petal with the skin peeled off to garnish it, and the dessert is done.
After the most troublesome thing is done, the remaining dishes are much faster, fresh mushroom and crab meat soup can be used as a base soup to speed up, braised prawns and fried water spinach are also a matter of turning the pot a few times, and soon, Cao Ping filled a table of dishes and called the two aunts and grandmothers to eat.
poured wine for Ying Bao and Sister Dao, Cao Ping raised his glass and said with a smile: "This time is too busy, I don't have time to sit down and have a meal together, it's the New Year soon, I can finally rest, tomorrow is Valentine's Day, Sister Dao, your lover doesn't know where it is, since we are together today, I will wish you a happy Valentine's Day for your future lover!"
Sister Dao glanced at him, a smile gradually bloomed on her face, touched the cup with him, and said with a smile: "Then I will thank you?"
Cao Ping turned his face and said to Ying Bao with a smile: "Baby, this is our first Valentine's Day together, Happy Valentine's Day!"
Yingbao's eyes were full of emotion, nodded vigorously, touched the cup, and said, "Happy Valentine's Day!"
