Don't pretend, I'm the God of Cooking and I'll showdown!

Chapter 175 This soup is so delicious!Xiaoxu, can you let your parents come to the capital? 【Ask monthly ticket】

"Huh? Are you ready so soon?"

In the small living room on the second floor, Chen Yan, who was sitting on the sofa and playing with her mobile phone, looked at her younger sister and brother-in-law who came out of the room in astonishment.

It's only been less than three minutes.

Is it too fast?
"Stinky swallow, what are you talking nonsense about?"

Shen Jiayue grabbed the pillow on the sofa and patted Chen Yan in shame and anger.

"Xubao is going to the kitchen to make crucian carp stewed tofu for grandma, will you go?"

Chen Yan didn't want to follow the dog food.

These two people are sticky now, if the love gets deep enough and they cuddle together like two seals, wouldn't the single dog be killed again?
She shook her head and said:
"Let's go, I'll just stay in this small living room."

You can't go to the big living room downstairs. Relatives are just hanging out there to chat. My sister and brother-in-law are not here at the moment, so if I show up, I will definitely be urged to marry.

And go to the kitchen to eat dog food.

Still the small living room on the second floor is cool.

She kicked off the high heels on her feet, and lay down on the sofa happily.

After dinner, go downstairs and sit in the corner to eat and drink, and leave as soon as you are full, so as not to listen to the adults' nagging.

downstairs.

Led by Shen Jiayue, Lin Xu came to the kitchen on the first floor.

The kitchen is spacious, almost the same as the living room of an ordinary family.

At this time, Aunt Liu was preparing lunch with two other nannies.

Today, there are a lot of guests at home, which is quite grand, and there are a lot of dishes that need to be prepared, all kinds of fresh seafood, imported ingredients, and rare mountain delicacies, etc. Lin Xu is a little dazzled.

Seeing Shen Jiayue and the new uncle coming, Aunt Liu greeted with a smile:
"Yueyue, is this your boyfriend? He looks so handsome, even more handsome than a movie star."

"Hee hee, thank you Aunt Liu for your compliment, what about crucian carp and tofu? My boyfriend wants to show my grandma, so let him cook this dish."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu immediately said:
"How can this make the new uncle who came to the door for the first time cook? Isn't it a joke if it spreads?"

"No, Aunt Liu, he is a special chef from Diaoyutai, and his skills are very good."

I heard that the craftsmanship is very high.

Aunt Liu didn't stop her.

Instead, he brought over the crucian carp that was still alive and kicking and a piece of tofu:
"Then I'm going to trouble the new aunt... Let me clean up the crucian carp for you, shall I?"

Lin Xu accepted it with a smile:

"No, I'll just come."

He washed his hands and boiled a pot of water on the stove.

Then he took a kitchen knife and quickly cut the tofu into four to five centimeters long and two centimeters square tofu strips.

If you are making roasted tofu, it is more suitable to cut into triangles.

This is not only easier to taste, but also can hold more juice, making tofu more delicious.

The general soup is to cut the tofu into pieces with a side length of about [-] cm, which is easy to cook and tastes more delicious.

But the words of stewed tofu.

It can only be tofu cubes or tofu strips.

Because tofu cut out by other cutting methods is easy to rot during the stewing process.

After cutting the tofu.

Lin Xu waited for a while before the water on the stove boiled.

Pour the sliced ​​tofu strips into the pot and blanch them for a few minutes to remove the bitterness and beany smell of the tofu itself, so that it tastes full of bean flavor.

After a few minutes.

Turn off the heat on the stove, then remove the tofu from the pot and set aside to control the water.

After cooking, the aroma of tofu has come out, and the tofu has become whiter and softer.

After the tofu is boiled.

He brought the crucian carp to the pool, quickly removed the scales, gills and internal organs, and carefully cleaned the black film in the belly of the crucian carp.

If it is done in other ways, these crucian carp need to be slaughtered and marinated before cooking.

But crucian carp stewed tofu does not need to be like this.

Just kill and do now.

This kind of fish is fresh, and the soup is rich in flavor.

After the crucian carp was slaughtered, Lin Xu put the pot on the stove again.

After heating, pour some lard into the bottom of the pot, and then sprinkle some salt on the bottom of the pot.

The fish meat is rich in umami, but the fragrance is not enough. You need to use lard to pull the fragrance up.

The reason for sprinkling salt is to prevent the fish from breaking during the frying process, and at the same time, it can also give the fish a bottom flavor during the frying process.

Heat the oil.

Lin Xu put several crucian carp side by side into the pot and started frying.

When you first put it in, you can't move the pan, you need to fry it slowly so that the fish skin is intact.

As for when to fry, it is also easy to judge.

As long as you hold the handle of the pot and shake it slightly, the fish in the pot will also rotate accordingly, which means that the bottom has been fried and can be turned over.

However, the firepower of small household stoves is relatively slow.

It felt like the fish was still motionless after a while.

If it was a professional stove in the back kitchen of a restaurant, both sides would have been fried to an attractive golden brown by now.

Finally, when the shaking fish in the pot was also turning in the pot, Lin Xu immediately took the pot with a big turning spoon, and the several crucian carp in the pot turned over in the air, and then arranged them neatly fell back into the pot.

"Wow, it's so beautiful, can I learn it?"

Even if Shen Jiayue doesn't know how to cook, she can see that turning the spoon is not easy.

Because crucian carp are of different sizes and uneven, the control of the strength when turning the spoon must be more precise, otherwise it will never be so neatly arranged.

"Girls, why do you want to learn this?"

Lin Xu quickly dispelled the unrealistic thoughts in Shen Baobao's heart.

For this kind of Xiaobai who has no cooking foundation, if he wants to make a large spoon, he will probably pour hot oil all over his body, or even come to a goddess to scatter flowers and splash the ingredients all over the kitchen.

just forget it.

Cooking is good, but safety is more important.

Continue to fry.

After both sides were fried, he directly poured half a pot of boiling water into the pot.

The secret to making fish stew out of milk soup lies in frying the skin and boiling water.

With these two, the fish can basically be boiled into a thick white soup.

After adding water.

Lin Xu put a shallot knot and a few slices of ginger into the pot and started to stew.

"You didn't put a lot of pepper in it."

Shen Baobao looked at it very seriously, and found that his own Xu Bao had put green onion, ginger and no pepper, so he couldn't help reminding him.

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"The stewed fish does not use prickly ash, as this will overwhelm the freshness of the fish."

Soon, the boiling soup in the pot became thick and white.

Lin Xu wiped off the foam in the pot with a spoon, and simmered for another [-] minutes. When the soup in the pot turned into a milk-colored thick soup, he poured the tofu that had been boiled once into the pot.

Reduce heat to low and continue to simmer.

After another ten minutes, when the tofu in the pot becomes trembling, it means that the tofu has been stewed thoroughly and can be taken out of the pot.

Use chopsticks to pick out the onion and ginger in the pot, then add salt and white pepper to make a simple seasoning, then hold the pot, and pour the fish and tofu into the soup pot.

This stewed tofu with crucian carp is ready.

There are very few seasonings used in this dish, just table salt and white pepper.

And the ingredients are only onion and ginger.

But as long as the fish is fresh enough and the tofu is stewed in advance, you can make delicious crucian carp stewed tofu, which can even compare with the craftsmanship of restaurant chefs.

"Oh, this smell is really bright."

Aunt Liu boasted, but felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in her heart.

With a son-in-law who can cook like this, he won't be unemployed later, right?
She plans to entrust the housekeeping company to enroll herself in a cooking class when she has time.

Try to improve your cooking skills.

He had to show his abilities in order to continue working in the Shen family.

Lin Xu still didn't know that his little behavior actually made Aunt Liu roll up. He said to Shen Jiayue who was about to steal:
"Just made it, be careful not to burn it."

"Good!"

Shen Baobao scooped up a small piece of tofu with a spoon and put it into his mouth to taste it. A surprised expression appeared on his face:

"Wow, this tofu is delicious and fresh, and it still has a strong bean flavor in your mouth. Your craftsmanship is amazing. Will you serve this dish in the new store when it opens?"

"Will do."

"Then I want to eat it every day! Wow Kaka, this taste is really amazing!"

soon.

The Shen family's lunch has begun.

The whole family sat around the dining table, looking at the crucian carp stewed tofu in the middle. The milky white thick soup exudes a strong fresh fragrance, which makes people greedy immediately.

"Grandma, Xu Bao specially cooked crucian carp stewed tofu for you. I'll serve it for you."

Shen Baobao is still very sensible in front of grandma.

She picked up the small bowl and filled half a bowl of soup and tofu with a spoon.

"Xiaoxu made it, no wonder it smells so fresh, hurry up, let me taste it."

The old lady took it, scooped up some soup with a spoon, put it near her mouth and blew it, and couldn't wait to put it into her mouth:
"Well, it's fresh and translucent, and the craftsmanship is really good."

After speaking, she tasted the tofu in the bowl again, and it was still very delicious, not even like the tofu she usually eats.

"Grandma, this tofu is boiled in hot water in advance and then stewed in fish soup. Is it different from the usual one?"

"Really? No wonder it tastes different. You should try it too. Xiaoxu's cooking skills are really good. Simple crucian carp tofu can be stewed so delicious. You should try it quickly."

The old lady is very happy.

The grandson-in-law is more and more satisfactory the more he looks at it, and he is so good at making money, he is impeccable in every respect.

Lin Xu added:
"In addition to blanching the tofu, lard is actually used, otherwise this soup tastes too bland and does not have such a mellow and rich aroma."

A mention of lard.

The mother-in-law Han Shuzhen got excited, and she said to her relatives:

"I used to be quite resistant to lard, but after eating the food made by Xiaoxu, I like this taste more and more. You all have to try it, it is definitely different from the usual dishes."

Now Director Han is about to become the promotion ambassador of Lard.

Even the relatives became curious about this dish, and unconsciously picked up the soup bowl and spoon and poured some into their own bowls.

After tasting the taste of crucian carp soup and the texture of tofu, I couldn't help but praise it.

"This soup is really delicious."

"It's so fresh, fragrant and fresh."

"The tofu is also delicious, soft and tender, and has no beany smell."

"I have to tell my nanny when I go back. I will do this in the future with crucian carp stewed tofu. It's so delicious."

"..."

When everyone tastes Lin Xu's craftsmanship.

Without saying a word, Shen Guofu opened a bottle of Moutai that had been stored at home for nearly twenty years.

In his opinion, this bottle of liquor is enough to replace a car, but it can't express his inner joy at all. My daughter has a date, and it's so perfect.

In this situation, no matter what, I have to take a little bit of weight lightly.

He filled Shen Jiayue's uncle, uncle, uncle and others one by one, then picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

When you are happy, the wine tastes smoother.

"Xiao Xu won't come?"

Chen Yan's father, Chen Yuejin, was holding a glass of wine, and the more he looked at this niece and son-in-law, the more satisfied he became. Unfortunately, his daughter has not yet found a partner, which made him and Shen Guofang almost unable to hold their heads up in front of relatives.

"I have to drive later, uncle, so I won't drink. I'll accompany you with a drink."

Lin Xu got up and held the juice in his hand and clinked the wine glass with Chen Yuejin. When clinking the glasses, he deliberately lowered his glass and touched the middle of the wine glass.

Chen Yuejin was even happier.

Today's young people, not many people know the etiquette of clinking glasses.

After drinking a glass, Lin Xu replaced the wine with a drink, and clinked glasses with other relatives in the family to toast one by one. The old lady was very satisfied:
"They're all from my own family, so there's no need to be so polite. Xiao Liu, let's see if the elbow is stewed? Bring it here when it's stewed."

Today is such an important day.

The old lady's rock sugar elbow will never be absent.

However, there were so many people today, she didn't keep watch in the kitchen, but asked Aunt Liu to take care of it after cooking.

Soon.

Aunt Liu sent it over with an elbow exuding a strong fragrance.

The skin of the elbow meat is rosy and shiny, and when it was put on the table, the meat of the elbow meat trembled like jelly, which indicated that the meat had been stewed for a long time.

After putting the elbows on, the old lady said to Lin Xu with a smile:

"Son, come and taste my handicraft and see if it tastes as good as yours."

Lin Xu hurriedly said:

"Grandma's cooking must be better than mine, because the dishes cooked at home have a smell of fireworks, unlike restaurants, which only pay attention to exquisiteness and have no taste of home."

What he said made the old lady smile.

After the elders began to taste the elbow, Lin Xu picked up a small piece of elbow skin with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

Well, the elbow skin has been stewed so soft and rotten that it melts in your mouth without even chewing.

It was said before that delicious elbows are eaten by sucking.

Finally tasted it today.

This elbow is not only soft and rotten, but also tastes good.

The taste of sweet and salty is intertwined, and the sweet and sour taste of hawthorn can be faintly tasted, which greatly reduces the greasy feeling of the elbow.

good to eat!

This elbow is really delicious.

While he was eating, Shen Jiayue at the side suddenly said:
"Grandma has made rock sugar elbows for us all my life, can you make them for grandma someday too?"

Do rock candy elbows?
I'm not very good at this.

While Lin Xu was muttering, a system notification sounded in his mind:
"The host respects the elderly, is full of filial piety, and triggers the reward task [Rock Candy Knuckle]: Please ask the host to make a perfect rock sugar knuckle for Mrs. Shen within two weeks, and reward an aquatic food upgrade card after completion."

really……

Every time Baby Shen mentions something to eat, the system will give a reward task.

It seems that roast suckling pig will not be able to learn in the near future.

Lin Xu still has a perfect-level cooking learning card in his hand. He originally reserved it to learn from Guo Weidong's roast suckling pig, but now the system clearly requires the perfect-level rock sugar elbow.

Then you can only learn it with the Perfect Cooking Learning Card.

After all, the task time is only two weeks.

Trying to practice a dish from scratch within two weeks will never reach the perfect level.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said:

"Then I'll show my ugliness in front of grandma. Grandma just don't dislike young people's poor workmanship."

Old Mrs. Shen was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear:

"This kid is modest. It's a family rule to make rock sugar elbows at every banquet. If you know how to do it, then my old bones will rest."

A good meal for all.

Lin Xu also felt the warmth of family affection in the capital far away from his hometown.

After dinner.

Aunt Liu brought a fruit plate and some snacks.

As soon as Mrs. Shen sat on the sofa, Dundun trotted over just after eating the boiled chicken drumsticks, and lay in the arms of the old lady without any explanation.

"Oh, this little baby is still clinging to me."

Holding Dundun in her arms, she said to Lin Xu:
"Xiaoxu, can you let your parents come to the capital recently?"

what?
Let my parents come to Beijing?
Shen Guofu added on the side:

"You and Yue Yue are so in love, it's time to sit down and finalize the marriage. I'm still waiting to have a drink with your father."

Lin Xu originally planned to buy a house before mentioning the matter of engagement.

I didn't expect Baby Shen's family to be so anxious.

Is this looking forward to marrying off the daughter as soon as possible?
But since it had been brought up, he said:
"I will let my parents come to the capital as soon as possible."

Well, let my parents come over to watch me cook during the competition in a few days, and get married after the competition. If there is nothing else, I will take Shen Baobao and my parents back to my hometown.

Walk around the scenic spot and relax your body and mind.

Then go back to the capital and continue to make money.

The old lady played with Dundun for a while, and went back to her room for a lunch break after getting a little tired, while other relatives were also preparing to go back.

The gift Lin Xu brought was divided into six parts, and each family took one away.

After sending the guests away, Han Shuzhen picked up Dundun:
"Come to grandma's house today to visit relatives, happy little baby?"

Dundun immediately yelled softly like a baby:
"Meow~~~~~"

Immediately, Han Shuzhen was overjoyed, and went to the gym and audio-visual room on the basement floor with her arms around Dundun, planning to take the little guy to familiarize herself with the environment at home.

Shen Guofu sat on the sofa drinking tea, put down the cup and said:
"Xiaoxu, the crayfish you made last time was very good. My aunt and I couldn't get enough of it. Why don't you cook some more at night and go back after eating the crayfish."

Lin Xu has no objection:
"Okay, I knew I would save some more for you that day."

Shen Guofu whispered:
"Actually, I didn't eat a few. I let your aunt eat all of it. I asked the nanny to cook some noodles and mix it in. It's a taste... Make more at night."

"no problem."

After explaining this matter, Shen Guofu took the elevator to the master bedroom on the third floor to rest.

He got up too early in the morning, and the alcohol was on his way, so he had to lie down for a while.

After he leaves.

Shen Baobao immediately pulled Lin Xu upstairs.

I can finally kiss my Xu Bao well!
When she came to the second floor, she didn't even care about entering the room, so she grabbed Lin Xu's neck and gnawed.

Lin Xu put his arms around her waist and responded enthusiastically.

While they were kissing, a sleepy figure sat up on the sofa:

"Is it time for lunch?"

Lin Xu:? ? ? ? ?
Shen Jiayue:? ? ? ?
Oh my god, no wonder the table feels quiet when eating.

I didn't expect my aunt to sleep here.

"Can't you two kiss after eating? Look at how sticky you two are, or I'll buy a bottle of 502 to stick you two together."

Chen Yan rubbed her eyes, sat up from the sofa, and urged while tying the straps of her high heels:

"Let's go, let's go downstairs for lunch, I'm so hungry."

Lin Xu: "..."

How can I make my sister-in-law calm down and accept the fact that everyone has finished lunch?
Waiting online, very anxious!

--------

I have also had the experience of missing lunch when no one shouted, and it was quite melancholic several times... This chapter is 5300 words, please ask for a monthly ticket, brothers!
