Rebirth 09: Buying a house with a baby UP owner

After she no longer had to worry about the loan, Zhong Meihui relaxed completely. She leaned on the sofa and closed her eyes to rest, when she suddenly heard Yingzi's somewhat embarrassed voice.

"Sister, how do you make this sweet orange chicken wings? I have never cooked this dish at home." Yingzi was busy in the kitchen, but when she saw a lot of ingredients, it was still a bit tricky, especially those Western-style ones. She couldn't control the heat of the dishes at all.

"This is very easy. You want to heat the oven, then spread the oranges and onions on tin foil, put the marinated chicken wings on top, and finally brush a layer of honey on top."

Zhong Meihui was guiding from the side. When she saw these colorful dishes stacked together, she suddenly had the urge to take pictures. She immediately went back to the room, took out her digital camera, and took several pictures of the oven.

"Cousin, why are you still taking pictures of the food? It's not cooked yet." Yingzi didn't understand what Zhong Meihui was doing. People in her hometown still used traditional film cameras. Film was so precious that they would never want to waste it in a place like this. of.

"Many people like to upload the cooking process to the Internet. It's very interesting. I used to take some videos..."

When Zhong Meihui talked about this, she suddenly remembered that her biggest hobby in her previous life was to be a gourmet host. It was the only fun in her extremely boring life.

She likes to record the food she makes by herself into videos and share them with netizens. Whenever someone praises her and gives her a like, Zhong Meihui will get a great sense of satisfaction.

For a housewife who has no career and no children of her own, this small recognition is really important.

Since her rebirth, she has been thinking about how to make money every day, but she has forgotten about it.

"Yingzi, let's do something interesting." Zhong Meihui wanted to go back to her old business. She looked around in the kitchen and found that the cooking table in this house was relatively new. The white tabletop can best highlight the taste of the food. The color is great for shooting videos.

However, this form of short video has not yet become popular. The current network has just entered the 3G era, and everyone's sharing is still at the stage of adding photos and text, and the most commonly used platforms are Weibo and blogs.

Zhong Meihui first registered a new Weibo account and blog account, with the ID name Zhongmei Shi.

This name not only fits her real name, but also has the meaning of loving food. It kills two birds with one stone. From now on, this account will be her new position.

"Yingzi, look at these. We can also make the dishes like this, and then write down the steps and teach everyone to make them together." Zhong Meihui pointed to several pages. These people are all food bloggers, but those photos were taken It was too rough and not beautiful at all, and the written steps were also very procedural and looked very dry, not at all comparable to what Zhong Meihui had done before.

The sweet orange chicken wings just now had been put into the oven, so Zhong Meihui had to make a new dish. She looked at the ingredients and decided to start with the simplest ingredients.

"Let's make this bacon-fried dried beans dish, which is also our hometown dish. I brought this bacon from home and it tastes particularly good."

Zhong Meihui picked up the piece of bacon and took out a few very exquisite plates from the cabinet. After helping Yingzi adjust the angle of the camera, she asked her to press the shutter button.

Wanting to be a good food blogger is not that simple. Not only the ingredients you photograph must be very attractive, but the steps must also be very clear. In addition, you must also add some interesting words and introduction to local characteristics.

Zhong Meihui took a voice recorder and placed it nearby, explaining while cooking, for fear of missing something.

"Cousin, this tastes so delicious. I haven't eaten bacon for a long time." Yingzi couldn't help sniffing at the side. Zhong Meihui's bacon is full of ingredients and rich in flavor. Just fry it lightly with oil. A unique fragrance will be produced, which will make Yingzi swallow her saliva.

Although there is bacon at home, it is for the boys at home, and she does not enjoy that kind of treatment.

"Of course, I'll put some chili pepper in later, it will taste better." Zhong Meihui brought some special hot sauce and chili peppers from her hometown when she went back this time, and put them in the bacon to add a lot of color.

Yingzi held the camera very clumsily and followed Zhong Meihui's instructions to take pictures of the dishes. Soon a plate of bacon and fried dried beans came out of the pan. Before putting it on the plate, Zhong Meihui preheated the plate to avoid it. Affects the taste of dishes.

"Cousin, this is really interesting." Yingzi only tried it once and fell in love with taking pictures. When she took out the sweet orange chicken wings, she didn't forget to take a few pictures of the finished product.

Zhong Meihui's teaching service is also very detailed. She looked at Yingzi's shooting results, gave her instructions on the angles for taking pictures, and taught her how to arrange the dishes to make the dishes look better.

Especially the sweet orange chicken wings. Under normal circumstances, you can just take out the chicken wings and put them on a plate. But if it is for taking pictures, you need to put a layer of fresh oranges under the chicken wings and put some basil powder next to it for decoration. , making the color clash in this plate more intense.

Yingzi wrote these down firmly and prepared them for the next time she takes pictures.

After eating, Yingzi was washing dishes in the kitchen, and Zhong Meihui uploaded all the photos she had just taken to the computer and started her strong point of PS projects.

In order to become a qualified food blogger in her previous life, she learned various photo-shooting skills, and now they all come in handy.Although the p-photo software of this era is not as easy to use as ten years later, fortunately, the basic functions are available.

She selected a few photos with fairly good compositions, adjusted their lighting to a uniform level, and sharpened them in some places, eliminating excess ingredients one by one, just like removing the pockmarks on a person's face. It's the same as falling off bit by bit.

Both the color and shadow of the processed photo have been adjusted, making the image appear more three-dimensional and the color saturation higher. With the cold-toned background, the photo has transformed from a farmhouse dish into a high-end restaurant.

Zhong Meihui turned on the voice recorder and converted the sounds inside into text. After rearranging the format, she clicked the upload button to send all the content.

Soon her first food blog was completed. Yingzi came over to take a look and found that the pictures were completely different from before. She couldn't help but exclaimed that it was amazing and wanted Zhong Meihui to teach her.

"Okay, I also want to teach you, so that you can process the pictures by yourself in the future." Zhong Meihui is very happy to train an additional helper. After all, it takes too much time to complete a food blog.

If Yingzi could learn basic image processing and voice-to-text conversion, her job would be much easier.
