A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 469 The Busy Canteen Kitchen

After Chen Jinnian ran back to the kitchen, he pulled out the blackboard and hung it on the window, and rechecked the contents written on it.

Mapo Tofu (large tofu, green onion, ginger, garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, broad bean paste, dried chili peppers)

The main side dishes were all there, except for the minced beef that his father had asked him to have.

Seeing this, he turned around and shouted, "Director, Director, where's the beef in my Mapo Tofu? Did you embezzle it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned their eyes to Chen Jinnian in front of the blackboard, including Yan Min who was watching the fun.

There are all kinds of problems in the kitchen right now. In front, Zhang Yixing is cracking eggs, and the egg shell and egg liquid are inseparable. In the back, Shuai Honglei is cutting hot peppers, and his hands are in unbearable pain from the spiciness.

I can’t finish it, I can’t finish it at all.

However, after hearing Chen Jinnian's question, Yan Min put aside his fun and hurried over.

"There's beef in Mapo Tofu? When the crew ordered lunch boxes before, didn't they always order it as a vegetarian dish? I've never had it before."

"Of course not. Mapo tofu doesn't need to have mapo in it, but it does need to have ground beef. Otherwise, it won't be mapo tofu, it will be spicy tofu."

Yan Min thought about it seriously and felt that Chen Jinnian was right. He raised his hand and wiped the words on the blackboard. Then he picked up the chalk and changed "Mapo" to "Mala".

Such an action made Chen Jinnian stunned. No wonder Yan Min and the men's gang could love and hate each other. It turned out that they were from the same nest. When it came to cheating, he did it without blushing or feeling nervous.

"Oh my god, is there any director like you?" Chen Jinnian angrily turned the camera beside him, pointing the lens at the other person's face, exposing the director's shameless behavior.

No matter how thick-skinned Yan Min was, he still felt a little embarrassed when faced with such a large camera, and rubbed his nose awkwardly.

"Well, our production team has limited funds, and we were so rushed in the early stages of preparation that we accidentally wrote the wrong menu."

"No, you made a mistake in a casual sentence, and it cost me a lot of time to fight for it. I won't accept it. You have to compensate our group for the mental damage."

Chen Jinnian grabbed Yan Min's director's vest and demanded an explanation.

Yan Min pointed at the blackboard and tried to explain, "It's really a typo. Look at the menu on the blackboard: Kung Pao Chicken, Dried Tofu with Spicy Peppers, Shredded Pork with Fish Flavor, Three Fresh Vegetables, Spicy Tofu, and Mu Shu Pork. Together, they make exactly three meat dishes and three vegetable dishes."

The original arrangement of the program team was to have both groups of members grab the meat dishes, such as Kung Pao Chicken and Fish-flavored Shredded Pork. However, no one finished grabbing all the meat dishes in the end, and the result was: one team was all vegetarian, and the other team was all meat.

"What's wrong, Director? I heard that you bullied my brother."

Hong Lei, who loves to watch the fun, immediately rushed over with a cucumber in his hand, scaring Yan Min who was trying to reason with him.

After recording the show for so many years, I know too well that Honglei is a complete reckless man, and the program crew has suffered a lot because of him.

"Honglei, Honglei, calm down. We should promote civility, set new trends, and actively spread positive energy." Yan Min shouted hurriedly.

Hong Lei ignored him and glanced at the blackboard that had been scribbled on. "Did the director change anything?"

"He changed a word and stole a piece of my beef."

After Chen Jinnian finished explaining, he took out a slightly cold sausage from the snack bag and stuffed it into his mouth, and also shared it with Honglei and Yan Min.

"Hey, it's no big deal, it's just beef."

When Hong Lei said this, he used a tone that said, "It's all my responsibility, brother." Then he turned to look at Huang Lei who was busy, which made Huang Lei shudder for no reason.

Everyone, including the cameraman, tensed up and instantly understood what Honglei was going to do.

Search for the target, find the target, and take down the target.

"No, no, no, please don't do it."

Yan Min hurriedly stopped him, saying that it didn't matter at other times, but this episode was filmed temporarily to express an attitude, and it absolutely could not convey the idea of ​​"stealing".

Seeing that Yan Min was in a panic, Chen Jinnian decided to take advantage of the situation and waste the opportunity created by Brother Honglei.

He immediately walked over with a smile, took out a handful of dried sweet potatoes and stuffed them into Yan Min's hand, "The grilled sausage is delicious, isn't it?"

"What do you want to do?" Yan Min stuffed the sausage into his mouth and looked at him with a vigilant look. Anyone who can be a director must be very cunning. He didn't believe that Chen Jinnian was trying to get close to him for no reason.

"beef?"

"I'll ask the crew to bring it to you later." Yan Min said after swallowing the sausage.

"Hey, this is what we deserve." He patted Yan Min's shoulder. "What I mean is, the final judging criteria are a bit unfair. How can the dish with the most votes win? It should be the team with the most votes for all three dishes combined."

"Otherwise, if you spend all your time cooking just one dish and make it tastier than the others, wouldn't that win the competition?"

Yan Min raised his eyebrows. He thought Chen Jinnian was going to make some excessive demands, but he didn't expect it to be serious business.

"Okay, after everyone finishes cooking, I'll ask for your opinions. We'll choose whichever selection process you'd like to use."

Chen Jinnian smiled. With Huang Lei's steady and old foxy personality, he would definitely choose the judging process of combining multiple dishes. This was much safer than deciding the winner with just one dish.

After getting the answer he wanted, Chen Jinnian returned to his busy work.

Huang Bo was responsible for making dried tofu with chili peppers, and he was responsible for making Mapo tofu, while the simplest dish of three fresh vegetables was made by Hong Lei. The three of them started cooking the three dishes at the same time, which was much faster than Huang Lei on the opposite side.

Even if Huang Lei's movements were more agile, he could still not make three dishes by himself, which was enough for dozens of people.

By the time Chen Jinnian and the others finished preparing the three dishes and placed them on stainless steel plates to keep them warm, the third dish on the opposite side had not yet been started.

The little pig who didn't touch anything really held back the performance, so much so that the program team had to send a real chef to help Huang Lei finish the last dish.

Time is limited, so they have to cook within the specified time and then free up the kitchen so that the factory chef can prepare dinner for the employees.

Chen Jinnian did not object to the cheating from the officials. After all, they were recording a variety show and it should not affect other people's normal work. If they continued to procrastinate, the factory workers would go hungry.

"Time is running out, everyone hurry up and bring the food to the canteen. The workers are all waiting to eat."

Yan Min looked at his watch and urged.

He now has two groups of people recording at the same time. In addition to the members of the Men's Gang, there is another group in the dormitory building who are busy setting up to take over the next segment.

"It's not easy for a canteen chef. I use a big pot to cook a dish, and my waist is almost broken from exhaustion." Huang Bo rushed to the front hall with a basin full of dishes.

"Yeah, I almost didn't finish it."

Huang Lei was also holding a pot of food. He was the most tired among the group and was already sweating profusely. He wasn't sure if he would have the energy to film later.

"Brother Lei, I have a new idea about the competition later. I wonder if you are interested in listening to it." Chen Jinnian heard the two chatting and came over to ask.
