…

Seeing that he was talking a lot, but Han Mingze didn't even react at all, Gao Hailong said unhappily: "No, you are saying something, don't always let me swear here, how stupid would I look?"

Han Mingze then came to his senses: "What do you want me to say?"

"Do you mean to participate in the competition? If so, are there any good ideas?" Gao Hailong said.

"Do you think I have humorous cells?" Han Mingze asked without answering.

"Uh...well, I've found the wrong person."

Gao Hailong looked at Han Mingze's face with a big grudge and immediately gave up on pulling Han Mingze into the gang.

...

Those who are preparing to participate in the selection of comedians of Happy Maizi are not only Gao Hailong and others in Hengdian, but also a large number of people from all over the country who have comedy dreams.

Let’s put it this way, just for promotion, Happy wheat spent more than 30 million, with the purpose of casting wide nets, catching more fish, and then focusing on selection.

At the same time, Xu Kai flew to Tieling himself to meet Zhao Laogen.

What made Xu Kai relieved was that Zhao Laogen actually sent his car (a RV modified from the beautiful country truck with license plate "88888") to pick up Xu Kai and his group.

Seeing this specification, how could Xu Kai not know how much Zhao Laogen attaches to him?

Yang Xinchun, who came with Xu Kai, also whispered to Xu Kai: "This time the matter will almost be done."

But what surprised Xu Kai, Yang Xinchun and others was that Zhao Laogen did not take Xu Kai and others to a hotel or other commercial meeting place, but instead took their group to Zhao Laogen's home.

Unlike Xu Kai and others who imagined that Zhao Laogen would live in a mansion worth hundreds of millions of yuan, Zhao Laogen's home was just a bungalow in the countryside.

Of course, this does not mean that Zhao Laogen does not have luxurious villas and mansions in the city.

Maybe it’s because I’m older, I prefer the simple rural life. Zhao Laogen does live in an ordinary bungalow now.

Here, the front yard of the courtyard is still slate roads and land, and the gate is also a more traditional yard design in the northeast rural area. There are also some flowers, plants and trees at the doorstep.

Zhao Laogen also built a greenhouse in his home, which allowed him to grow some vegetables in the yard even when the weather was very cold in winter.

In this way, even if you live in the countryside, you won’t feel bored. When you are fine, you can be busy with the farm work in the yard. Growing vegetables and being self-sufficient is also a very comfortable and comfortable life, and it will be healthier.

The walls at Zhao Laogen's house are also very traditional courtyard walls made of red bricks.

Without seeing all this with your own eyes, it should be really hard to imagine that a famous artist would return to the countryside to live such a life.

After the two met, Zhao Laogen's first words were: "You are so brave. You are almost stepping on us. You dare to come to the meeting alone."

Seeing that Zhao Laogen's words meant something insidious, Yang Xinchun wanted to explain it to Xu Kai.

But before Yang Xinchun could speak, Xu Kai reached out to stop Yang Xinchun, and then smiled and said, "To do all your strength is the greatest respect for your opponent, don't you always say?"

Zhao Laogen looked at Yang Xinchun without any objection and asked Xu Kai: "Your girlfriend?"

When Yang Xinchun heard Zhao Laogen ask this, her face suddenly felt warm and she couldn't help but feel happy.

However, both Yang Xinchun's shyness and Yang Xinchun's secret joy were exposed by Xu Kai's next words.

"She is my agent Yang Xinchun, not her girlfriend."

Although Xu Kai was telling the truth, Yang Xinchun felt very uncomfortable when she heard it. She couldn't help but think: "Your woman is not here. Are you so anxious to separate your relationship with me?"

Yang Xinchun knew that it was wrong for her to have such an idea, so she quickly pressed down on this idea and said to Zhao Laogen: "Teacher Zhao, we are here this time to..."

But before Yang Xinchun finished speaking, Zhao Laogen said: "Let's talk about these things again and have a meal first."

Yang Xinchun looked at Xu Kai with an undecided idea.

Xu Kai smiled and said, "The guest follows the host's will."

What surprised Xu Kai and Yang Xinchun was that Zhao Laogen actually led them into the kitchen directly.

The kitchen at Zhao Laogen's house is a very standard kitchen in the northeastern countryside. The walls are spliced ​​with white square tiles. There is also a large wooden pole on the wall to hang some supplies at home. The big pots used at home are also used in rural areas.

And in this big pot, there is also the "tofu" unique to the Northeast.

Zhao Laogen smiled and said, "How is it, I did it."

This simple rural life makes people feel more relaxed and comfortable.

This should be the reason why Zhao Laogen chose to return to the countryside to live when he gets older.

"I'm not very good at Northeast cuisine, but I will also serve a few dishes. Today I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha to you to try."

While saying this, Xu Kai began to take off his suit.

When Zhao Laogen heard this, he smiled and asked, "You can still cook?"

"You must have heard that I have been in prison, right?" Xu Kai asked back.

Zhao Laogen nodded.

Xu Kai continued:

"In the first year I was imprisoned, I was assigned to work in the canteen of the government, cooking for the prison guards. At that time, the master who took us was Master Liu Jidong from Manhan Building, and he later became my master."

"My master was an imperial chef from the Qing Dynasty, and he was especially good at making Manchu and Han banquets. My Grand Master, who is my master's father, Liu Zaidong, was a figure like the Taishan Beidou in the chef world when he was alive. He worked as a master at the state banquet."

"Master I am also very good. He became a special chef at the age of 23, and was hired as the chef by Gao Xin, the boss of our Dongzhou Manhan Building. He worked for 12 years."

When he said this, Xu Kai had already taken off his suit, while Yang Xinchun took out an apron and helped Xu Kai tie it.

Zhao Laogen said: "I have heard of Liu Jidong."

"About 17 or 8 years ago, in the early 1990s, we went to Dongzhou to visit the cave. The master invited us to the Manhan Building for dinner. There, I heard that if you want to eat the dishes made by Liu Jidong, you have to make an appointment three days in advance. It is so stubborn."

"Later, just five or six years later, I heard from the master again that Liu Jidong married a wife of a water-sex Yanghua. When the slut had an affair with Liu Jidong's apprentice, he was caught by Liu Jidong. In a rage, Liu Jidong killed the slut with a kitchen knife, injured his apprentice, and surrendered himself?"

Xu Kai nodded: "My master was sentenced to death for this."

Zhao Laogen sighed: "Oh! It's a pity that a generation of famous chefs."

Xu Kai smiled and said, "It's no pity. Because of his skill and great fame, my master didn't suffer much in prison, he just changed his place to cook. By the way, he was released from prison two years ago and married a senior sister who I had been waiting for him for fifteen years. The two now have a private kitchen in Dongzhou and their business is very good. My senior sister also gave birth to a pair of twins for him. Those two little guys are very cute and they call him dads. My master is getting younger and younger now, and he is very optimistic and cheerful."

"That's really a bad thing that turns into a good thing."

"A few months ago, I took my girlfriend to see him. He personally cooked a Buddha jumping over the wall for us. His skills, tsk, I think his cooking skills may be better than my Master."

"Then he is worth squatting in this prison."

"Oh, don't listen to me so well. I'm just talking in a good direction. If you can't go in a prison, don't go in, because there is no place where people stay."

“…”

“…”

While chatting with Zhao Laogen, Xu Kai also started to move quickly.

Experts will know if there is any one.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at Xu Kai's skill, Zhao Laogen knew that Xu Kai must have two tricks in cooking.

but

Today, Xu Kai didn't make any fancy things, but with the help of Zhao Laogen, he made four Northeast home-cooked dishes, including Northeast cold dishes, small tofu, stewed pork ribs with stewed pork ribs.

Zhao Laogen personally fried a peanut, then went to the garden to pick some dipping pickles and wash them.

The two of them fought together, even if they had prepared a sumptuous table of dishes...
