Chapter 92: Lamb Spine Hot Pot

Tang Qiaoqiao looked at the big poster printed with her meme. The original photo was taken from her TV series, but who knows which fan put a big gold chain and sunglasses on her, which made her look like a gangster. There was also writing: "Pray every day, make a smooth debut," under the text "Sister Qiao is mighty."

Although she also used her meme made by her fans as an emoticon pack, she was still stunned when seeing the emoticon pack enlarged and printed as a poster. Her mood became particularly complicated for a while.

Also, this "Sister Qiao is mighty" looked like some sort of underworld worship. Is this Versailles young master a real fan or a black fan?

【Hahaha I have the same picture as an emoticon pack. Now I also want to print it out and post it on the wall and pay respect every day】

【Tang Qiaoqiao really became the big sister head of a gang. She received a lot of little brothers. Qiao Bao, do you still need people? I will sign up】

The Versailles boy laughed shyly, "Teacher, if you think this is not good, I have other backups."

"No, no, no need." Tang Qiaoqiao waved her hand quickly. She was afraid of getting a heart attack if she saw too many of these.

Some trainees roared, "Teacher, after you sign, we plan to hang it on the door of the dormitory so we can worship every day before we go out."

Was this worshiping her as a koi?

Tang Qiaoqiao's mouth twitched. "Such nonsense things cannot be said. We are logical people and cannot engage in feudal superstition."

After she said that, she felt guilty because she was actually a veritable spirit.

Tang Qiaoqiao still signed the poster for him. As for what he would do to it after he took it back, she didn't care about it. She only hoped that when they woke up at night, seeing such a big face on the door and get scared, they wouldn't blame her.

After such an amusing event, the atmosphere in the practice room became more relaxed.

During the chat, the male tutor mentioned that if they could get first place in the next performance, they would be invited to see his concert tour in the VIP seat.

"Great!"

After these boys cheered, they turned to ask Tang Qiaoqiao, "Teacher Tang, what reward will you have for us if we get first place?"

Tang Qiaoqiao could only say, "Ah." She couldn't say that she would invite them to visit her acting set.

At this time, a boy excitedly put forward a suggestion, "If we win, Teacher Tang should cook us a delicious meal."

"I know that Teacher Tang's cooking skills are very good. I've seen it, and I've always wanted to taste it, but I never have a chance. So if we win, we don't need other rewards. We want to try the dishes made by Teacher Tang. What do you think?"

"Good!"

Everyone immediately agreed upon this suggestion. Even the male mentor raised his hand to agree. He didn't feel embarrassed when he said that he also had been greedy for a long time.

Tang Qiaoqiao's cooking skills were famous in the circle earlier than her acting skills. Some people on Weibo, who claimed to be Tang Qiaoqiao's food fans, made graphic tutorials on the food she made.

"That’s easy. I promise you." Tang Qiaoqiao smiled.

"What are you so happy about?" A boy from another class probed in. He heard the cheers from time to time in this practice room and couldn't help but come over and take a look.

The boy's eyes widened after he learned that Tang Qiaoqiao had promised them to personally cook a delicious meal if they got the first place. He immediately ran out of the room, and the news quickly spread.

Good guy. Now all the trainees knew about this, and they all had to join the bet for Tang Qiaoqiao's meal. Even several groups with a more peaceful mentality were no longer peaceful after hearing this reward. Everyone had high morale and immediately held internal meetings to formulate a thorough training plan and rehearsed late at night.

The fiercely competitive groups also said exaggerated harsh words to each other. The smell of gunpowder permeated everywhere.

Tang Qiaoqiao felt as if she had entered a battlefield.

Alas, shouldn’t your performance be competing for your debut? How come they turned her meal into a bet?

Helplessly spread hands. jpg.

【I feel that these people are not so excited about their debut rankings. They are just fighting for Tang Qiaoqiao's meal hahaha】

【Don't fight. It's useless even if you kill people. You have to fight in the dance studio, dog head】

【LOL It's so funny if they are actually fighting in the dance studio this time】

【I'm also excited. I can't even get salted duck eggs. I strongly urge Tang Qiaoqiao to learn from other stars and start a side business of a restaurant】

【+ID number 】

......

Soon it was the day of the first performance, which was also the last episode with Tang Qiaoqiao.

This time, all the trainees worked hard. They freed themselves on the stage, both singing and dancing affectionately.

During this period of time, they practiced desperately until their hands and feet were bruised. Tang Qiaoqiao saw that they had utilized their youthfulness to the maximum, and gradually they were as dazzling as starlight.

The dance team that Tang Qiaoqiao pointed out seemed to have really listened to her suggestion. They focused more on the dance itself. When they collectively stroked the hip bones, the audience screamed again and again.

The vocal group of the Versailles boy had relatively simple dance movements. However, their voices were clear and smooth, and they cooperated perfectly. The most surprising thing was that they actually sang original songs composed by themselves.

After rounds of competitions, the group with the most audience votes and tutor votes was finally selected. As expected, it was the vocal group of the Versailles boy. Their group ranked first in the team rank, and the Versailles boy also got the top ten in individual rank. After the announcement, their group became so excited.

The Versailles boy was put out to speak on behalf of the team because he had received more attention before. He took the microphone and said while panting, "It's really useful to worship Teacher Tang every day."

The audience burst into laughter. Even the live broadcast chatroom was full of "Hahaha."

The host knew what happened and turned to ask Tang Qiaoqiao what she thought.

Tang Qiaoqiao pursed the corners of her mouth and said, "It seems that my signed photograph is going to appreciate in value."

When the netizens heard this, they hurried to find the website that sold Tang Qiaoqiao's autographed photo. Sure enough, they found that the price of the photo had increased several times. The printed photos signed by Tang Qiaoqiao were all sold out, these profiteers!

The host smiled and said, "How did you worship her in the dormitory? Did you make an offering?"

Tang Qiaoqiao: '...It's getting weirder and weirder. Even offerings have come out?' She was not dead yet.

Of course, the host just made a joke and asked, "What goals do you have next?"

The boys looked at each other and then gathered in front of the microphone and said loudly, "The meal that Teacher Tang promised?"

Tang Qiaoqiao: "It's ready."

Long before the recording of the performance, Tang Qiaoqiao had already prepared the meal.

Such a group of young and strong guys must eat meat to enjoy the meal, so Tang Qiaoqiao decided to make lamb spine hot pot.

Early in the morning, she personally selected three lamb spines and two lamb chops, all of which were the freshest. After chopping the lamb spine and lamb chops into pieces, she soaked them in brine for two hours, then blanched them to completely remove the blood.

Next was to fry the lamb spine. The spices used include more than 20 kinds, such as fennel, white cardamom, bay leaves, ginger, grass fruit, tangerine peel, etc. After sautéing, she turned up the heat until the soup was brought to a boil and then turned to low heat to simmer slowly. It would at least stew for three hours for the best flavor.

So Tang Qiaoqiao stewed lambs long before the performance began. By the end of the performance, it was already ten o'clock in the evening. The hot pot was also cooked just right.

Tang Qiaoqiao took the winning group and a few mentors who had to freeload a meal to the room where the hot pot was placed.

Along the way, they kept asking Tang Qiaoqiao about what she made, but she didn't say anything. When they finally arrived at the destination, they opened the door, and a strong scent came out. Everyone couldn't help but sighed, 'Ah, it's so fragrant!'

There are four large copper pots on a long table, two each of red soup and two clear soups, piled full of lamb spines and lamb chops. The soup was still bubbling. In addition to the lamb spine hot pot, there were also various side dishes such as fresh lamb, beef, pork belly, sausage, prawns, and meatballs.

"Lamb Spine Hot Pot!"

Their hands and feet were cold in the winter, and after the performance, most of their physical strength was exhausted, and their bellies were empty. This attractive Lamb Spine hot pot was just right for their appetite. Just smelling it makes them feel that their body warms up.

Everyone sat down around the table, holding chopsticks and ready to move.

Tang Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "This hot pot has been stewed all night. You don't have to wait. You can eat it now."

The trainees were starving, but they paid attention to etiquette. They asked the teachers to move their chopsticks first, then they all started at the sheep scorpion.

Don't think that lamb spine had more bones and less meat. You could eat the layer of meat that sticks to the bones, which was called sticky meat. When this meat had been stewed for so long until it's soft, it was extremely tender and delicious. After gnawing the meat, people could still suck the middle of the bone, and you can still get the smooth and mellow bone marrow.

Lamb chops were meatier than lamb spine. You just need to pull the rib and sent it to the mouth. The meat could be easily removed from the bone, and this mouthful of lamb was tender and fragrant, which was really enjoyable.

The trainees couldn't stop eating, and some people tried to fight for the tiny pieces. Even the usual polite instructor couldn't help but put on some plastic gloves and nibbling on the bones.

The lamb spine was more fragrant as it was cooked. When the meat was completely soft, the soup was thick. The lamb meat was almost gone, so you could add other side dishes to continue fighting.

Everyone in the room was eating happily, and the netizens in the live broadcast room were greedy, but the number of people watching was still increasing.

If you couldn’t eat it, you could still watch it, huh!

Other trainees also couldn’t eat the hot pot because they didn't win. Their mobile phones had been turned over to the program group, so they could not watch the live broadcast, but they couldn’t  stop their imagination. They could smell the fresh scent of mutton because they are still quite close. But it was really torturous that they couldn't eat it.

Just when they were considering whether to rush in and "rob," the show's choreographer smiled and led a few staff to their dormitory. They were carrying an oversized stainless steel pot in their hands.

"What are you holding in your hands?" someone asked.

The choreographer laughed and said, "Something to give you warmth." As they opened the lid, a cloud of steam rose up. They leaned over and saw that it was eight-treasure porridge.

The editor said, "Ms. Tang didn't forget about you. The Laba Festival is coming soon, so she made Laba porridge for you." The staff also had a share. That's why he had to go back and eat quickly. Otherwise, those people might already finish it, and he wouldn't be able to catch his share.

'Sending charcoal in the snow!'

The people who were originally disheartened and lying on the upper bunk rolled down immediately. They were looking at the Laba Congee, eager to see through it.

The staff took out the bowls and gave everyone a big bowl of Laba Congee.

Tang Qiaoqiao made this Laba porridge with more than eight kinds of ingredients. Even these boys who had basically never been in the kitchen could also recognize glutinous rice, red beans, mung beans, peanuts, and red dates. In fact, there were peach kernels, lotus seeds, barley, almonds, pine nuts, raisins, etc.

The Laba porridge and lamb hot pot were cooked at about the same time. The laba porridge had become fragrant and sticky, and the color was purplish-red and oily. The beans and lotus seeds had bloomed. The sweet taste from rock sugar was mixed with the fragrance of rice.

The glutton in their belly cried out. They scooped up a spoonful, blew the heat, and sent it to their mouths. The various ingredients were soft, waxy, and sweet. Different tastes lingered on the tip of their tongue. It was sweet but not greasy, and it was really fragrant. After taking two bites, they could taste the sticky rice in the Laba porridge.

Many of these boys were originally not interested in this kind of sweets, but they ate it clean, and some even got more after eating a bowl. On one side, there was the rich and mellow lamb spine hot pot. On the other side was the sweet and soft glutinous Laba porridge. The air was warm this winter night.

【Uuuuu, I've turned my head. I want to eat this Laba porridge even more】

【I'm different. I want to eat both. I don't want to talk about it anymore. I'll go to bed and eat faster in my dream. Bye bye】

【I'm so jealous. Did he cultivate the blessing for eight lifetimes? Otherwise, how could he find a girlfriend like Qiao Bao?】

【@Shen Yue V, the vengeance of robbing wife is not forgiven!】

At this time, Shen Yue, who was burdened with "wife vengeance," was waiting inside the car outside of the building where the program was being recorded. He was also watching the live broadcast of Tang Qiaoqiao gnawing on a bone.
