Chapter 229 Cook

"Hello Luo Quan, I'm director Claire Ford. I'm preparing a movie recently. The heroine's setting is very consistent with your image. Are you interested in auditioning?"

Early in the morning, Luo Quan’s private message on Twitter contained this text message.

Click on the avatar of the person who sent the private message. His nickname is Claire Ford. He has more than three million followers. His tag is a famous director. It should not be a movie.

Luo Quan still has some impressions of this director. It seems that when she appeared on TC Candle last year, the director even praised her and said she was a dream with legs.

Luo Quan couldn't remember clearly, so he Googled the director's information before replying.

This is a very powerful and famous director. His literary films have won Oscars, and his commercial films have sold well at the box office around the world. He is a win-win director who is both popular and popular.

Among the directors who are still alive, they all belong to the top ranks.

The only pity is that so far, I don’t have a film that is famous enough to make a name for itself in film history. Compared with those real big guys, there is still a slight gap.

Of course, this does not hinder the fact that Director Ford is a top director in Hollywood.

And such a great director personally sent a private message asking her to audition. To be honest, Luo Quan was still a little flattered, and at the same time she was also a little excited, because if the audition was successful, her mission would be fulfilled.

After Baidu finished, Luo Quan immediately replied:

"What is the time and place of your audition? Because I'm going to England in a few days, and I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time."

It didn't take long for Director Ford to reply: "That's such a coincidence. I'm in the UK now. When will you come over?"

Luo Quan originally planned to fly to the UK in ten days, but due to temporary arrangements, she moved up the date: "In seven days, I will arrive in the UK in about seven days."

Director Ford agreed: "No problem, I will stay in the UK for about half a month. There are a lot of actors who need to be interviewed for this movie. I have been so busy these days that I almost feel dizzy."

"Can you tell me what kind of movie this is?" Luo Quan asked curiously.

"A magical epic-themed movie adapted from a novel called "The Lord of the Rings" by the author named Tolkien.

This novel is very famous, have you heard of it? "

Of course Luo Quan has heard of it, not only heard about it, but also heard it like thunder!

The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is hailed as the greatest movie ever, and it is enough to rank in the top twenty in any list of the greatest movies.

In terms of honors, the trilogy has won numerous international awards. The trilogy, the most important Oscar, has won a total of 16 Oscars. Among them, "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" alone won the Oscar for Best Picture. Eleven awards.

There is only one movie in the entire film history that can achieve this achievement, and that is the equally great "Titanic"!

It can be said that the movie "The Lord of the Rings" has left too many classic characters in film history, and it has remained popular even after more than ten years.

If you can play the heroine in this movie, it won't be a problem to enter Hollywood after the movie is released!

However, after calming down, Luo Quan was a little disappointed.

She has watched the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy countless times. Most of the scenes in the movie are the adventure stories of a few good friends. The scenes with the heroine only last for a few minutes. In other words, there is no scene. , insignificant.

I don’t know if she can leave a deep impression on the audience as required by the task in such a short period of time.

After all, the task requires two films in a row. She has a lot of roles in Wolf Warrior 2, so it won't be too difficult to complete. The same cannot be said for "Lord of the Rings".

However, when it comes to such an epic movie, Luo Quan cannot let it slip through his fingers.

But whether there will be a lot of roles or not, I’ll wait until I agree!

Since it was just an audition invitation, Luo Quan and Director Ford only made a verbal agreement and did not need to sign any contract.

Coincidentally, the investor of this movie is Universal. However, Luo Quan secretly asked Leon later and he did not seem to be involved in the casting of "The Lord of the Rings". He said that there was another movie waiting for him, produced by Fox. It is co-produced with Paramount, but it is still in preparation and it is still early to officially start shooting.

About to leave China for the UK, Luo Quan made arrangements for his departure before leaving.

In fact, there is nothing easy to arrange. Luo Quan's interpersonal relationships have always been relatively simple. I'm afraid he doesn't have as many friends in China as he does in Japan.

The program team and the school have already communicated with each other, and Wen Xia also knows about this matter. The only thing that needs to be arranged is probably the news at Station B.

In recent days, fans at Station B are not dissatisfied with her frequent cooing behavior. They have repeatedly criticized her in the comment area and threatened her with canceling their likes to make her update her life vlog once a day.

As a senior pigeon, how could Luo Quan be threatened by such a small trick? Every time he posts a video, he says he will update more next time, and then repeat the next time...

In fact, it is not difficult to shoot a vlog. She just holds her phone in front of her face and lets her fans see what she is doing all day long.

The troublesome thing is that it is impossible to upload all these things. Several hours of material must be condensed into a few minutes of highlights, and your own commentary must be added. The workload is actually not small.

When I was studying at Dongda University, because I was on campus, I could meet different people and things every day, and the place was large, so there was plenty of material, and it was easier for Luo Quan to edit.

Now that she has returned to China, apart from recording shows, she spends most of her time at home.

Although Wen Xia's mansion is large, it only covers a few hundred square meters in total, with two floors and less than twenty rooms. There are only so many things to record and record. As time goes by, Luo Quan really doesn't know what to give to his fans. What to record?

Fortunately, Luo Quan was inspired by the up-and-comers in the food area recently and felt that recording cooking videos would be a good choice.

These days, videos like Bamboo Rat Brothers and Da Sao have gained hundreds of thousands of fans, with many comments and memes, making them very popular.

If she follows the trend, she should have no problem completing the tasks assigned by her fans.

Of course, it is still very difficult to create the same program effect as those up owners. After all, her family does not have a mountain full of ingredients provided by the villagers, and she does not wear eyes that can seal her food intake.

Soon, Luo Quan uploaded cooking videos. This series of videos was called "Serving Rice", the first issue of "Serving Rice": "Dongpo Pork".

After being uploaded to the homepage of Station B, it immediately attracted a large number of friends from Station B to watch. In less than five minutes, the comment area was already overcrowded:

"Luo Quan's short video has a new series?"

"This is a new version of the ship that has never been seen before!"

"It's really "Xiafen""

"With all due respect, I have never seen a girl under the age of twenty who can cook a hard vegetable like braised pork properly. If she can cook egg fried rice clearly, she can be called a virtuous person. "

"I can't agree anymore. Two days ago, my girlfriend made me sweet and sour pork ribs, and I almost broke the pot. The cooked ribs were blacker than coal, and even my dog ​​didn't touch them!"

"It still depends on the person. If it is made by Luo Quan, I can eat it very well even if it is poison."

"Wake up, you are not even qualified to take the poison given by Luo Quan!"

"It broke my heart."

It can be seen that Yibang fans are quite distrustful of Luo Quan's cooking skills. Most of them think that what Luo Quan will serve later will not be braised pork in braised pork but black roasted pork.

However, just like in the comment area, as long as it is made by Luo Quan, no matter whether it is delicious or not, it must be praised.

Therefore, fans and passers-by clicked on the video one after another to find out.

At the beginning of the video, there was a loud "bang" sound. It turned out that Luo Quan dropped a piece of pork belly on the chopping board.

"Hello viewers, today is the first episode of the "Serving Meal" series. The first dish I will cook for you this time is the nationally famous Dongpo Pork. How about it? Are you drooling when you hear the name?"

In the picture, Luo Quan is wearing a light yellow apron, with his hair tied into a ponytail behind his back. Two slender hands that are whiter than pork are pressing on today's ingredients, with a bright kitchen knife beside them.

"Opening Lightning Strike!"

"The headphone party exploded on the spot."

"So tough."

"Good hand, I'll lick it!"

"The surprising appearance of the Noble Phantasm of Duicheng."

“Excellent pork belly, what a pity.”

"I want to see what harm you can do to this piece of meat today."

"No, why don't you take care of it?"

"The hair stood up and almost hit my eyes."

As if he heard the comments from the barrage, Luo Quan turned on the natural gas stove, hooked both sides of the piece of pork with two hooks, and grilled the pork with the skin facing the flames.

While grilling, he said: “This step is to remove the hair and hair follicles from the pork to reduce the fishy smell.

Originally it would be more convenient to use a spray gun, but we don't have this prop yet. "

It was a bit difficult for Luo Quan to carry such a large piece of meat by himself. After roasting it for a while, he put it on the chopping board, wiped his sweat and said, "It's too tiring to cook it from scratch. I have to deal with it next time I buy pork." of."

The barrage went up:

"It's not bad. I know how to roast the pig hair off. This is already better than 99% of girls."

"Next time, just record from the beginning. I want to see you kill the pig."

"Think about that scene. The most beautiful woman in the world is holding a butcher's knife, surrounded by poor pigs who are constantly wailing."

"Pfft! I was eating noodles, brother, and I just squirted."

………………

It seems that although Luo Quan's performance in the first step was normal, it did not make everyone think that she was a qualified cook. It only meant that she had done her homework in advance.

After all, these procedures for processing meat can be found out by searching online, and they are not difficult at all.

But since Luo Quan dared to do this "Serving Meal" series, it was definitely not done on a whim.

In fact, she has already developed her cooking skills to a very high level.

Life skills are different from personal attributes, such as appearance and acting skills. To upgrade to A+, you need attribute improvement cards to upgrade.

Life skills such as cooking and housework can be upgraded to S- level using the heat value!

What is the concept of S? The chefs in Michelin restaurants are only A+, and the upper limit of cooking skills is S+.

Not only her cooking skills, she also exchanged recipes for major domestic and foreign cuisines. As long as they are mainstream dishes, she can basically cook them.

Therefore, a mere Dongpo Pork is really not a difficult task for her.

After the pork was roasted, Luo Quan began to prepare the sauce to be used, and then explained: "Now we will start making the sauce that will be used to cook the Dongpo pork. The dosage of various spices is actually ordinary. People are difficult to grasp.

When it comes to a few grams, you don’t have the measuring tool. When it comes to a small amount, you can’t estimate it, so I suggest you look at the capacity of my spoon and cut the ingredients according to my weight. "

As he said that, Luo Quan picked up a spoon and scooped out some common spices such as pepper leaves, star anise and other spices in various spice bowls. Then he put a little of each into a cloth bag and threw it into the water to cook. .

Then it was time to cook the meat. Luo Quan put the pork into another pot of water and said, "This step is to enhance the flavor and remove the fishy smell of the pork. It is not difficult. You just have to pay attention to opening the lid of the pot every once in a while to remove the odor from the surface." Just scoop out the white foam."

Seeing this, the direction of the barrage began to change:

"It seems to be something like that."

"This process is very formal, similar to the videos posted by chefs."

"I have followed this series of videos. Watching a beautiful woman cook is more comfortable than watching chefs with big heads and thick necks cook."

"Look at it for a while. The most difficult part of Dongpo pork is controlling the heat."

As soon as the barrage ended and the video went dark, it was time to start the pot.

Luo Quan has edited here, but in reality an hour or two has passed.

The pork has been cooked to a snow-white color and bent into a C shape.

And put the spice bag into the pot. All the clear water turned into a purple brine with a fragrant aroma, but it was a pity that only Luo Quan could smell it.

Next, Luo Quan took out the cooked meat, pressed it with an iron plate, and added transparent glue to shape it.

This step is to reshape the pork and make it square.

Take out the brine bag and let the cooked brine stand to cool.

Every next step, Luo Quan performed it as standard as a textbook. Even the most demanding old chef could not find any faults in Luo Quan's body.

Especially at the end, when cooking Dongpo Pork, Luoquan's heat was controlled to the last detail. From the size of the firepower to the duration of the firepower, everything was precise to perfection!

The group of gourmets in the barrage were stunned.

Finally, Luo Quan placed the cut Dongpo Pork on the plate, then put the two bowls together and pressed them together, without any juice spilling out.

Even if they haven't seen its final appearance, the audience knows that this must be an extremely delicious delicacy.

Across the screen, they all seemed to smell a strong aroma of meat!
