Chapter 89 I Don't Want to Call You Sister (Please Subscribe and Vote)

The two exchanged glances, not even wanting to be separated from each other.

Is this what it means for an older sister to take the initiative?

Looking at Gu Luojin's handsome face, Song Yi felt that she hadn't lost out at all, and had even made a small profit.

"Xiao Gu, could you teach me your cooking skills?"

Culinary skills are not something you can just talk about; they require a lot of experience. Otherwise, you can only become a theoretical expert in the culinary world.

Do big stars need to cook for themselves? But then again, they are human too.

No one can avoid these seven essentials: firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea.

Cooking your own meals is healthier and more hygienic.

But mastering cooking skills is not that simple.

His sister's request had to be fulfilled; he also wanted to see her wearing stockings.

"I talked a lot last time. Which part do you want to learn? Do you want to start with choosing the ingredients or cooking them? There's a lot to learn in that."

Song Yi paused for a second, thought for a moment, and decided to learn how to prepare the dishes next time, and start with the most difficult part.

"I want to learn how to cook so that I can cook at home when I'm not working."

"But because I can never copy it well, it's either raw or smudged, which makes me very frustrated every time."

"In the end, we had no choice but to order takeout because the food looked good but there were no side dishes."

She was referring to something other than takeout, emphasizing the importance of privacy for female celebrities.

He had never heard any news about Song Yi having any problems in her private life in his previous life, which proved that this older sister had a good reputation.

Seeing how eager this older sister was to learn, Gu Luojin decided to teach her seriously.

The hotel booked by the film crew didn't have a kitchen, and no one would have imagined that the actors wouldn't focus on acting but instead learn to be cooks.

Aspirations may not produce true master chefs, but "Joy of Life" has produced one.

"Sis, first of all, kitchen utensils are very important. You've heard the saying, 'A skilled craftsman must first have the right tools.'"

"I've heard of it."

"Alright then."

Gu Luojin began imparting her secrets from the very first step of selecting kitchen utensils; it's rare to find a student so eager to learn.

There are quite a few celebrities in the entertainment industry who are good cooks, such as Jiang Yan and Jia Bing. They have all shown their culinary skills on TV shows and received praise from many celebrities who appreciate their cooking.

Praise can be deceiving, but the speed at which food goes into one's mouth and the expression of fear that someone might snatch it away cannot fool the discerning eyes of the audience.

Whether something tastes good or not, everyone has their own opinion.

If Song Yizhen masters this skill and gains a new, more appealing persona, he will also deserve some credit.

The audience will not forget him; he will only become a legend.

"The size of the wok used for stir-frying also matters; some people prefer iron woks, while others prefer stone woks, and so on."

"However, I personally prefer using an iron wok. Although it's heavy, it heats up quickly, making it fast for stir-frying."

"Since you're a girl, I suggest using a lightweight and portable stone pot."

"I've got it."

The good student wrote down his experience in his notes; as the saying goes, a bad pen is worse than a good memory.

When I was in school, the school would reward students who did well in their studies and ranked in the top 50 in the whole school with money, learning tools, or certificates of honor to encourage them to study hard and strive for excellent results.

This made Gu Luojin quite envious back then. He also won it once later, but only once.

He hadn't expected Song Yi to be so eager to learn; otherwise, he would have prepared gifts to reward her.

"Sister, I'll give you another reward after you've mastered your skills."

"No need, little brother, you've already taught me so much, I'd be embarrassed to ask for more."

Adults love to make excuses; once a word is spoken, it can never be taken back.

If you say you're going to give her a reward, you should give her one, and it should be a big reward, so as to do justice to her love of learning.

We must not let good students lose heart; this is a lesson Gu Luojin learned during her student days.

"Sis, you're still calling me 'brother'?"

Most female celebrities don't like being called "auntie" because they worry about being called old and have age anxiety.

Liu Yifei is quite honest in this regard, and she openly lets the children call her aunt without any fear.

He's different; he hates it when people call him "little brother," because it makes him, who is already 25 years old, feel like a minor.

"Then what should we call it?"

Song Yi, sitting next to him, looked puzzled.

Song Yi was born in 89, and Gu Luojin was born in 94. They are six years apart in age, so it's not a problem for him to call her his younger brother.

After tonight, Song Yi will never call him "brother" again. People will pay the price for their ignorance.

When children make mistakes, a scolding from their parents usually helps them remember.

"Call me Master."

He taught her so much; he deserves this title.

In ancient times, a teacher for a day was considered a father for life.

Heaven, Earth, Ruler, Parents, and Teacher are inscribed on the incense plaques lit by countless homes.

Disrespecting teachers and elders will always be criticized.

This is why, in his aspirations, he can only praise Teacher Huang, because Teacher Huang was once a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy.

He was also afraid that the audience would label him as disrespectful to his teacher, so he preferred that future generations would associate him with pica.

"Okay, Master, what should we do next?"

"Sister, there's still one apprenticeship ceremony missing from the formal apprenticeship process."

That's going too far.

It's so late at night, where can I find the things needed to prepare for becoming an apprentice?

"Actually, a tree dies when transplanted, but a person thrives; we can simplify things a bit."

"Give me two kowtows."

Upon hearing this news, Song Yi couldn't believe her ears: "Xiao Gu, are you asking for trouble?"

Since his sister had said so, he had no choice but to skip this customary formality.

If someone only has a superficial understanding of what they've learned, and when they actually try cooking themselves, they're still at the same level, then it's their fault.

He's to blame his master for not teaching him well, so he's taking a huge responsibility for it.

There was no question between the two of them that the disciple would starve the master, and that he needed to keep his secrets hidden.

He desperately wanted Song Yi to understand everything so he could showcase his approach on a variety show.

She boldly declared to the outside world that her cooking skills were taught by Gu Luojin.

Only he would teach her wholeheartedly and without reservation. Song Yi was truly fortunate to have met such a master.

In her previous life, when Gu Luojin was in school, many teachers chose to teach by simply reading from the textbook.

After entering university, the teachers started using PowerPoint presentations with teaching materials that were older than the students present.

Later, people described this kind of class as a "watered-down class," which became a class that many students skipped and was also deeply hated by many good students.

Anyway, the knowledge points have been given to you. Whether you can understand and grasp them is not the teacher's problem.

It's like the master leads you through the door, but the rest is up to you to cultivate yourself, right?

This caused Gu Luojin, who studied humanities in high school, to do particularly poorly in politics. However, after receiving guidance from a renowned teacher, she made rapid progress.

He achieved a record-breaking score of 263 out of 300 in the humanities section of the college entrance examination, which became one of the few things he was proud of in his studies.

"Sis, the reason your stir-fried dishes are half-cooked is not because of you."

"First, it's because you lack experience; second, you didn't control the heat well; third, —"

"Thirdly, the wrong kitchen utensils were used." Song Yi was so excited she almost blurted out, "Bingo!"

Praise when you deserve it, and criticize when you deserve it; only then can you make rapid progress.

Pride leads to regression, while humility leads to progress; this is an eternal truth.

Good cooking skills have little to do with kitchen utensils. Of course, using a large pot will result in a larger quantity of food and a larger serving size.

For example, when eating in the school cafeteria, the dishes are cooked in large pots, and one pot of food can serve twenty or thirty students.

While it saved time and increased efficiency, it sacrificed the taste.

We cook for ourselves and pay attention to the taste.

Aside from tools, the most important thing in cooking a dish that is delicious, colorful, and flavorful is controlling the heat and having enough seasonings.

When stir-frying vegetables, you should use high heat from the beginning to quickly cook them and preserve their original flavor.

If you're stir-frying meat, you need to use low heat before putting it in the pan, otherwise it will easily stick.

This is why you fail when you cook; you can't start by stir-frying over high heat.

Different dishes require different cooking times.

After Gu Luojin's explanation, Song Yi understood why her dishes sometimes turned out undercooked or burnt.

Song Yi listened with great interest, and he continued to speak without stopping.

In most cases, the food needs time to heat evenly in the pot, allowing it to adapt to the wok's aroma and flavor, so that the tastes of the ingredients can fully blend.

This is why many people say that hotel food is not good and can't compare to the food cooked at roadside restaurants.

The two characters lack the wok hei (wok aroma).

"Isn't this four characters?"

"Is this the key point?"

When it came to the key moments, Gu Luojin also got excited, spitting as she spoke.

He also got to experience the thrill of verbal persuasion, discovering how enjoyable it was to be a teacher and lecturing. He even considered returning to the Beijing Film Academy to teach.

"When the vegetables are halfway through cooking, you can turn the heat up a little."

Song Yi hugged her: "Why do so many people like to show off their wok-flipping skills when cooking? There's even an online influencer who started a challenge."

What else could it be? Who would use a wok to toss and stir-fry when cooking everyday dishes?

These are all for showing off skills; beginners usually fail, at best wasting food, at worst getting burned.

Only seasoned cooks can master this skill. When novices see it, they will naturally exclaim in delight, satisfying the vanity of the experienced cooks.

Why did he cook Zhang Jingyi and Zhang Zifeng's hometown dishes on the show "Longing"? Of course, it was to learn how to show off.

"Sis, as a beginner, you should just stick to cooking a simple dish. Showing off your skills is a bit too complicated for you."

How complicated is it?

Gu Luojin showed her a video, and after watching it, Song Yi understood.

"Can you do that?"

"Of course I will."

Isn't this a joke? If he dared to teach Song Yi how to cook, then he must know how.

He wouldn't take on a job he wasn't qualified for; he's not some self-proclaimed master chef.

They're still lashing out at Teacher Huang, and haven't chosen to let him go.

Gu Luojin demonstrated it to her once, but it was too fast, and she still didn't understand.

So I demonstrated it to her again: "Do you understand now?"

"I understand."

It's good that you understand. Once you've taught Song Yi, he won't need to cook anymore.

When the cook returns home, he doesn't like cooking at home.

"Then when I visit your house in the future, I'll be able to taste Sister Yi's cooking."

"I'm still not good enough. I only have theoretical knowledge, but lack practical experience."

"?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about practical operation."

How can you, as the older sister, not care about him at all? Can't you let him rest?

"You're really enjoying your retirement."

"Song Yi, you've gone too far."

Song Yi was full of questions and turned to look at him.

"That was going too far." Realizing what was happening, Song Yi heard Gu Luojin call her by her real name: "What did you just call me?"

"Song Yi, what's the problem?"

Gu Luojin thought there was no problem, but Song Yi interrupted her.

"What are you calling Song Yi? Is Song Yi someone you can call me? Don't you know how to call me 'sister'? That's rude of you."

She didn't understand her own position or status, or what time it was.

As the saying goes, if you don't call someone younger "sister," they might have a wild side!

"I don't want to call you 'older sister'."

"6

"So what do you want to do?" A sly smile flickered across his lips, and her woman's intuition told her.

Gu Luojin is trying to do something bad, and she needs to stop him immediately.

"Let me tell you, take back those bad ideas of yours, I don't accept them."

That was just to maintain her older sister's authority; would Gu Luojin listen to that?

Listen to a song.

Don't be fooled by Song Yi's attentiveness and excitement; it's just a fleeting interest. Once that's over, she'll lose interest in cooking.

Even though he can do it, he doesn't do it often.

So Gu Luojin told her the story again, and it wasn't until the third time that she started to get bored.

A phone call woke them both up.

"Sis, where are you?"

She's already on set; it won't take her long to get there.

"I remember my scenes today were in the afternoon."

"Sis, I was just worried about you."

"Don't worry, I'm in Xiao Gu's room. I'm going to sleep now."

Hearing this, her assistant was relieved.

It was none other than the male lead in the film crew.

Did they win it over so quickly? That was beyond her expectations.

"Sis, well done!"

In terms of looks, Song Yi has an advantage; it's better than dating some ugly men.

Some female celebrities in the entertainment industry have boyfriends who are simply unattractive; it's unclear what they like about them.

The male lead in the drama is flawless in terms of looks; to put it bluntly, he's more than a match for his sister.

He's not a big star yet, but he's still young, and who knows what the future holds?
