Huayu Chef

Episode 075 Preview Guessing Game

"Ahhh, this is so delicious..."

Yang Zi opened his mouth and shouted loudly, chewing and then immediately exhaling, so hot that he could barely speak.

The baked buns were fresh out of the oven and extremely hot inside. A spoonful of scalding hot broth was poured over them. It was just right to eat them in small bites, but Yang Zi took a big bite. She couldn't bear to spit it out and forced herself to swallow the first hot bite.

Seeing her like this, the others started eating as well.

"Jingjing, here you go."

"Thank you, Brother Xuan."

Jingjing said "thank you" in Chongqing dialect, took the donkey meat sandwich, opened her big mouth wide, and took a big bite without waiting. Her eating manners were no more elegant than Yang Ziwen's.

It can only be said that all foodies are the same; they've become biologically similar.

"Uncle Yu, please try my donkey meat sandwich."

"Thank you, thank you."

Grandpa Yu took a bite of the donkey meat sandwich, shook his head, and said, "After eating the donkey meat sandwich, I feel like I didn't say enough during the day. Coming to Baoding today is more than just three joys, it should be ten times more, one joy for each dish, thirty joys in total. Xiao Zhang's donkey meat sandwich is a surprise among surprises, a top-notch surprise, his skills are superb."

The driver nodded in agreement: "The donkey meat is incredibly fragrant and has an authentic flavor. I think Master Zhang would definitely have a successful donkey meat sandwich shop."

"tasty."

"fragrant."

"It's so delicious..."

Hearing the exclamations of praise from those around him, Zhang Jinxuan smiled with delight, made himself a donkey meat sandwich, and took a bite.

The baked flatbread is crispy and fragrant, while the donkey rib meat is infused with aroma by the heat of the flatbread and braising liquid. The meat isn't chopped too finely, resulting in a wonderful texture and a rich, savory flavor. The intense aroma of the braising liquid and the rich texture of the donkey fat enhance the flavor of both the flatbread and the donkey meat, creating a truly addictive taste experience.

too delicious.

Zhang Jinxuan took a bite of the donkey meat sandwich, then used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of donkey intestine and put it in his mouth. The donkey intestine had a different texture, soft yet chewy, very chewy, oily yet smooth, and rich in braised flavor.

As expected of the pinnacle of the aquatic product category, the taste is absolutely superb.

With his thirst for alcohol returning, Zhang Jinxuan raised his glass and shouted, "Come on, let's have a drink!"

"A piece of sausage and a sip of wine, I wouldn't even be a god for that."

"Dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground, the saying is truly well-deserved."

"Donkey intestines during the day... cough cough."

"What happened during the day?"

"Nothing much, just delicious food and drinking."

As soon as they started eating, the men began toasting each other; the donkey meat on the table was just too good to go with alcohol. Yang Zi and Jingjing poured themselves two glasses of beer to liven things up, joining in the toasts.

Other dishes made with donkey heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, etc., are all delicious, each with its own unique flavor.

After finishing one donkey meat sandwich, Zhang Jinxuan made another one, adding minced rib meat and donkey intestines, pouring in a spoonful of braising broth, and then got up and walked towards the camera.

"Zimei, come over here and film the ending."

"immediately."

Well, they're busy making donkey meat sandwiches.

"Uncle Yu, would you like to say a few words?"

"No, no, my mouth is all oily, I'm afraid I'll splatter the lens."

Grandpa Yu waved his hand, raised his glass, and drank with his senior from the directing department.

Of all things under heaven, drinking is the most important.

Zhang Jinxuan didn't force him to come. He took a bite of the donkey meat sandwich in front of the camera, revealing the scraps of meat and donkey intestines inside, and said rather maliciously, "Everyone see, there's a lot of freedom in how you eat donkey meat sandwiches. Usually, you eat it with scraps of rib meat."

"Mine is a bit luxurious, with both rib meat and donkey intestines. The combination of the two textures creates a unique flavor. I'll try adding some donkey head meat later; it should taste good too. Are you all drooling? If you want some, leave a comment saying 'call 1' in the live chat."

"Brother Xuan."

Yang Zi walked up to Zhang Jinxuan with a donkey meat sandwich in his hand, his cheeks bulging.

"Zimei, is the donkey meat sandwich delicious?"

Yang Zi nodded with a satisfied look and said, "It's so delicious, I can't stop eating it! I've already had my third one, what am I going to do if I want a fourth?"

Zhang Jinxuan kindly reminded him: "You should control yourself and be careful not to overeat. No matter how much you love to eat, you should know when to stop, otherwise you will have health problems."

"Mmm, I won't eat anymore after I finish this."

Zhang Jinxuan said to the camera, "Donkey meat is a delicious and nutritious meat. After being braised, it is eaten with a freshly baked flatbread. This is the donkey meat flatbread we are holding."

"Donkey meat sandwich is a famous dish in Hebei, and Baoding donkey meat sandwich is famous throughout the country. This morning, Zimei and I took everyone for a casual stroll in the city of BD. As you can see, donkey meat sandwich shops are everywhere. Eating donkey meat is very popular, which is why there is a saying that 'no donkey can leave Baoding alive.'"

"Today I used a whole donkey head and offal to make donkey meat sandwiches and a whole donkey feast for the filming team members, food tasters, enthusiastic cook Grandpa Yu, and donkey farm keepers. Luckily, nothing went wrong, and everyone had a great time."

Zhang Jinxuan turned slightly to look back. Zhao Guoying, Zhao Jingsu and the others at their table were all engrossed in eating donkey meat, their appetites were astounding, and some of their plates were already empty.

Grandpa Yu, holding a wine glass, told jokes to his senior classmates from the directing department with great enthusiasm, making them laugh heartily and creating a very joyful atmosphere.

The joy that food brings is obvious.

Zhang Jinxuan withdrew his gaze and continued, "Everyone has been very kind to me, praising my cooking with their good appetites, but I'll still do my usual self-evaluation."

"The donkey meat sandwiches I made today actually have room for improvement. For example, if I braised the donkey meat in a rich broth and baked the sandwiches in a professional oven, the taste could be elevated to another level."

"But our 'Wild Kitchen' always uses local ingredients. If we can make donkey meat sandwiches using the conditions of the filming location and it doesn't turn out badly, then it's a success. I'd give myself a 7.5 out of 10 for this dish."

"I won't review the other dishes in the whole donkey feast one by one, because they were all made on the side, the methods are common, and they are not very representative. This episode mainly focuses on the donkey meat sandwich dish."

"Alright, that's all for 'Wild Kitchen' filming. We'd like to say goodbye to everyone. A big thank you to Uncle Yu, who helped with the cooking, and food critic Yang Zi for participating in this episode. Thank you to Uncle Zhao, Aunt Gao, and Sister Jing Su for providing the filming location and ingredients. Thank you to the 'Wild Kitchen' filming team. Thank you to all the uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, and younger siblings who appeared on screen. Thank you for your support."

"Zimei, is there something you want to tell our viewers?"

"Yes." Yang Zi hurriedly swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "This episode of 'Wild Kitchen' has added a preview and guessing game for the next episode. Let's guess together if you want to know what will be filmed next."

Here are three pieces of useful information for you.

"The first piece of valid information is that it is a type of freshwater fish."

"The second piece of useful information is a poem: 'Do not pour donkey-hide gelatin into this place, for the will of Heaven is difficult to understand. To understand the Milky Way, one must bend the curve; once it emerges from Kunlun, it becomes unclear. Emperor Gaozu's vow of merit was as small as a belt, and the immortal's raft was as light as a star. Who will be here three thousand years from now? Why bother reporting peace to the emperor!'"

"The third piece of useful information is the ten famous dishes."

Zhang Jinxuan continued, "Those who guess the answer can leave a comment under the latest Weibo post of this account on the day this episode airs. I will forward the comment of the first person who guesses correctly and give away a set of my autographed photo album. Everyone is welcome to participate."

"Let's go hiking and have some fun! See you next Saturday at 10 a.m., bye-bye!"

"Bye-Bye."

Zhang Jinxuan and Yang Zi waved to the camera.

"All done, let's go back and continue eating, drinking, and having fun."

Yang Zi, like a curious child, asked, "Brother Xuan, which dish are we filming for next episode?"

"Haven't you guessed it yet?"

"This is too difficult; I couldn't find the answer even using Baidu."

"You need to connect three useful pieces of information to guess the answer. There are some overlapping dish names, but we're very close to the correct answer. If we send them all out, we'll get the right one."

"I see." Yang Zi said with high spirits, "I'll try my best to get your photo album, Brother Xuan. Are you dressed yet?"

"roll."

"Haha." Yang Zi chuckled and followed Zhang Jinxuan, asking, "Who's the food taster for the next episode? Is it Senior Sister Huang Mengying?"

"It's not Mengying, it should be one of our studio's contracted artists. I'll send the next episode's plan to my manager, Sister Yaoyao, and see how she arranges the schedule. I hope it's Xiaochongchong."

The person who least wanted this was Li Xirui, fearing that she would smash her head open with a slipper, since her past life's news about her and her boyfriend had been exposed by paparazzi.

Yang Zi blinked, looking completely bewildered, and asked, "Who is Little Bug?"

"Zhang Yunlong from the class of 09."

"Oh, it's Senior Brother Zhang Yunlong. Why is he called 'Little Bug'?"

Zhang Jinxuan complained, "He added a caterpillar to his Weibo account. Isn't that incredibly abstract? Incredibly absurd? Incredibly funny? Incredibly bizarre? Incredibly speechless?"

Not wanting to gossip behind someone's back, Yang Zi feigned absentmindedness and said, "Um, uh, ah, Brother Xuan, what did you just say?"

"Eat your donkey meat sandwich."

Zhang Jinxuan returned to his seat and continued to enjoy his meal.
