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

Chapter 180 Super Simple Sugar Cane Water!Fish scales can also be used as snacks? [Monthly ticket 1500 plus more]

Come to the restaurant.

From afar, Lin Xu saw the old man sitting at a table by the window, on which were various signature dishes of Building No. [-].

Around him, Tan Yajun from the audit office and several other middle-aged people of similar age were sitting. Everyone chatted while eating, and the atmosphere seemed to be quite harmonious.

"Yo, there are really new dishes!"

Seeing Lin Xu walking over with a plate of dishes, Shen Guofu got up quickly.

When he saw that it was an elbow, his face burst into joy:

"Pair the elbow with wine, the more you eat, the more delicious it is. This dish is really not bad."

As long as you have meat, everything is fine, right?
Lin Xu came over, put the plate on their table with a smile, and said to Shen Guofu by the way:
"Didn't grandma want to eat rock candy elbows? I was worried that I couldn't make them well, so my brother made a few and taught me. Since you're here, I just want to try it."

Upon hearing this, Shen Guofu patted Lin Xu on the shoulder:

"Good boy!"

After speaking, he said to Tan Yajun and others:
"Xiaoxu went to my house yesterday. The old lady was very happy and made rock sugar elbows herself. The girl Yueyue coaxed Xiaoxu to make it for the old lady. I didn't expect this child to start learning today."

Upon hearing this, Tan Yajun couldn't help but praise:

"He is really a good boy with the same filial piety as Yue Yue."

Shen Guofu: "..."

Old Tan, if you are envious, you are envious, why are you still cursing people?

He pulled Lin Xu and said:

"Come on, let me introduce these uncles to you. They all grew up in the same alley as me and Lao Tan. Today, they came here specially to taste your handicraft."

Lin Xu quickly said hello to these uncles.

After exchanging pleasantries, he said:

"You guys eat first, there is still work to do later, I have to go back."

"All right, all right, let's go."

After Lin Xu left, several middle-aged people couldn't wait to raise their chopsticks, and stretched out the rock sugar elbows on the table that made them drool as soon as they were served.

Shen Guofu took a piece of elbow skin and put it into his mouth, and was immediately fascinated by the sweet taste.

The taste is sweet but not greasy, and it tastes fresh like sugarcane, and the skin of the elbow is soft and rotten, and it melts when you sip it with your tongue.

Wait until the elbow is finished.

Only then did I taste the faint salty taste in the skin of the elbow.

It gives people a feeling of endless aftertaste.

Fantastic.

"Oh, let me go, this elbow is so delicious!"

"Indeed, the meat is rotten and tastes good."

"I don't usually like to eat sweet dishes, but this elbow makes me unable to stop chopsticks at all."

"The more you eat, the more delicious it is, old Shen. I forgot to ask your son-in-law if he has learned it. If he has learned it, we will often go to your house for dinner."

"Yes, I have to go to Cengfan. It's really enjoyable to eat this elbow."

"..."

While Tan Yajun and the others were chattering non-stop, Shen Guofu didn't say a word, just lowered his head and grabbed the elbows on the plate with his old friends.

A group of second-hand goods who haven't snatched anything to eat.

Is now the time to speak?

Right now, every time you say a word, you will eat less meat, so you can talk freely, the more you talk, the more I will eat.

They didn't stop until there was only one leg bone left in the elbow on the plate.

Shen Guofu burped beautifully.

Rejoice!
Back to the kitchen.

The senior brother went to the administrative meeting of building No. 2 upstairs, and the sugar cane syrup that was going to be made had to be postponed.

But Lin Xu was not in a hurry.

On the way to the restaurant, he was provoked all the way by the rock candy elbow on the plate. He was already so greedy for this dish. Seeing that there was still one plate left, he picked up the chopsticks and couldn't wait to grab a piece of elbow skin and taste it.

Well, it sure is delicious.

Putting so much sugar, it is not greasy at all, which is unbelievable.

After eating a few more bites, he went to fill a bowl of rice, scooped up some of the remaining soup in the pot, mixed it with the rice, and took a bite.

Well, the hot rice is mixed with this salty and sweet soup, the taste is really amazing, even the rice has become delicious.

"You also like to mix and eat like this?"

While eating, Song Dahai came over.

It was past dinner time now, so he also served himself a bowl of rice, and ate it on his elbows, and went back to work after eating.

Well, two sugar canes were picked up by Xie Baomin.

Then make up for it with rice and elbows.

Our old Song can't suffer.

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"I'll be busy soon, let's make do with the two of you first, Chef Song, where is your No. [-] building? Is it a bit far from here?"

"It's not too far. Walk along the main road in Diaoyutai. There is a red Chinese-style building on the other side of the rockery. That is Building No. [-]... If Master Lin is not busy, you can go to our side to play, [-] Many young people in Building No. [-] take you as a role model."

is it?

Then I will go after get off work.

It doesn't matter if it's sugarcane or not, I just want to make more friends.

Song Dahai continued:

"Especially my nephew, since he watched your game, he has been searching for your information on the Internet, checking in on you all day long, just like those kids chasing stars."

These words immediately aroused Lin Xu's interest:
"This is so flattering to me. I didn't expect that Diaoyutai still has my fans."

He thought that those people who often talked about under the topic were foodies who liked food, but he didn't expect that even the chefs of Diaoyutai were attracted.

This would require a trip to Building [-].

Get to know this fanboy first, and then think about using sugar cane later.

Well, you can't just run away like your senior brother, that's too rude.

Have to let people take the initiative to send.

This is the rule of a civilized society.

"Chef Song, what's your nephew's name? I'll get to know him better when I go."

Lin Xuguang was thinking about harvesting other people's sugar cane.

It suddenly occurred to me that there was another task to find the chef.

If Song Dahai's nephew met the requirements, wouldn't he be able to poach the wall.

"My nephew's name is Zhu Yong. I found out when I went to Building 25 to find out. He has been participating in cooking competitions for the past few days. Unfortunately, he is over [-] years old this year and did not participate. He missed the opportunity to compete with you."

Can you enter a cooking competition?
That shows that the cooking skills are very high.

For real, this is the third chef I want to poach.

I must go to Building No. [-] in the near future, and first get in touch with Zhu Yong to see if he is willing to change jobs, and if so, dig directly.

Finish the rice in the bowl.

Just as Song Dahai was about to leave, he suddenly saw a cook not far away carrying a large carp weighing more than ten kilograms to the pool for slaughter.

He said casually:
"This fish is really big, and its scales alone can make two dishes."

Lin Xu on the side was a little surprised.

real or fake?

Can fish scales be used for cooking?
He asked curiously:

"Chef Song, can fish scales be eaten?"

"Why can't fish scales be eaten? Wash the fish scales and boil them for a few hours to make fish scale jelly. It tastes better than skin jelly. Maybe wash it clean, wrap it in dry starch, fry it in a frying pan, and sprinkle some pepper after it comes out of the pan. The noodles are crispy fish scales."

Wow!

Lin Xu really didn't expect that Yulin could do this.

He is not very interested in fish scale jelly.

But want to try the crispy fish scales.

My baby Shen likes to eat this kind of crispy and crispy snack. I will collect the fish scales and try frying them later.

After sending Song Dahai away.

Lin Xu walked quickly to the pool, and said to the chef who slaughtered the carp:
"Keep the fish scales for me. Chef Song said that he can cook, so I plan to try it."

"Alright, Master Lin!"

Back to the stove.

He made several tables of dishes in a row, and then he saw senior brother Xie Baomin strode into the kitchen.

"Lao Song is gone?"

"Let's go, he said he has to be busy when he goes back, so he went back after eating a bowl of rice."

"Hey, this old boy really doesn't want to suffer at all. After picking up two sugar canes from him, he actually ate a bowl of rice before leaving. I have to pick up two more sugar cane tomorrow."

While talking, Xie Baomin picked up the remaining sugarcane and started making Cantonese-style sugar water.

To make sugar water, you need to have a sweet taste, so you can only use sugarcane roots.

Use a kitchen knife to peel off the hard skin on the outside of the sugarcane, and then remove the joints, leaving only the sugarcane core that is easier to chew.

Lin Xu picked up one and tasted it.

The water content of this sugarcane is quite sufficient, because it has not been grown for enough time, so the sweetness is not enough, but it has a freshness that mature sugarcane does not have when chewing.

Well, it's the taste of nature.

Xie Baomin split each section of sugarcane core into four pieces, then put it into a dessert pot, add water and start boiling.

"Green sugarcane is more suitable for drinking in the current weather."

Lin Xu didn't know much about how to make this kind of sugar water, so he asked while chewing the sugar cane in his hand:
"Only sugar cane?"

"That's okay, at least some pears should be added. The sugarcane and pear soup will be made in this way. No sugar is added. Drinking it so lightly will not only relieve the fire, but also clear the lungs."

It sounds very good.

Lin Xu asked again:
"What else can I put besides Sydney?"

"Fruits similar to Baihuo are fine, or other ingredients are also fine, such as yam, water chestnut, taro, etc. In fact, there is nothing special about it, as long as the attributes of the matching ingredients do not conflict."

Is it that simple?

Just as Lin Xu thought of this, a system notification sounded in his mind:
"The host listened to the state banquet master's advice, and comprehended the qualified sugar water technique - the combination of ingredients, congratulations to the host."

Sugar water technique?
I can still understand like this.

It seems that I will be fine in the future and chat with these chefs.

Maybe you can comprehend a wave of techniques.

Isn't this a waste of money.

soon.

The pot of water boiled.

Xie Baomin covered the pot, turned down the heat, and continued to cook.

"Sugarcane has enough water and is more resistant to cooking. It should be boiled for as long as possible, so that the fresh taste of sugarcane can be boiled into the soup."

Lin Xu nodded, and secretly wrote it down.

These knowledge points will come in handy when I make it for Baby Shen.

It boiled for about twenty minutes.

Xie Baomin went to the storage room and took two pears.

Peel and cut into small pieces and put in the pot.

Cooked for about five or six minutes.

Turn off the heat and serve.

"Sydney pears can't be boiled for too long, as long as the flavor comes out. Although this thing sounds very particular, as long as you find out the compatibility skills of the ingredients, you can make a pot of sugar water in minutes."

Lin Xu nodded, then asked:

"If sugar is added, which step is more appropriate?"

"Put two pieces of rock sugar when cooking pears, it will taste very good."

After Xie Baomin finished speaking, he poured some soup into the bowl, blew it first, and then drank it when it was not too hot, nodded and said:

"Well, that's right. Although the sweetness is a bit light, the freshness of the green sugarcane is still very strong. Try it, junior brother, and see if it inspires you."

Lin Xu nodded and poured some for himself.

Drink it when it is not too hot, the soup is slightly sweet, with a unique fresh taste of sugar cane, mixed with the refreshing feeling of Sydney.

After drinking it, I feel refreshed.

Delicious!

Xie Baomin filled a large bowl for himself, and started patrolling the kitchen with it.

Just as Lin Xu was about to drink some more, the cook who slaughtered the carp before came over with a small basin:
"Master Lin, these are the fish scales you want. I didn't dare to disturb you when the chef taught you how to make sugar water just now. It's all here. Do you want me to wash it for you?"

"No, no, I can wash it myself, please."

"If you say this, I will see you, Master Lin. You are a great hero in our No. [-] building."

Lin Xu won the championship of this cooking competition on behalf of No. [-] building, which made everyone in No. [-] building proud. The back chefs regarded him as a hero.

After the cook left.

Lin Xu came to the pool and carefully cleaned the fish scales in the basin twice.

Worry about the fishy smell.

He grabbed some flour and went in, and washed the fish scales like washing fatty sausages.

After washing again.

Drain the fish scales, pour some cooking wine and onion and ginger water to remove fishy smell, sprinkle some salt, and set aside to marinate.

He has never eaten the spicy fish scales that Song Dahai mentioned, and he has never even seen them.

So I can only grope and make it step by step based on the experience of making other dishes.

After marinating for ten minutes.

Sprinkle some dry starch into the fish scales, mix well, let the starch evenly hang on the surface of the fish scales.

Done with this.

He set up the oil pan, heated the oil to [-]% heat, and started frying.

Grab a handful of starch-coated fish scales and throw them into the pot.

Then stir it a few times with a spoon to loosen the fish scales.

When the surface is golden and curled, take it out and start frying the next pot.

At this moment, the fish scales that were fished out were almost dried, so he picked up a piece and tasted it.

Well, it's actually very crispy.

The imaginary problems such as pricking the mouth and fishy smell do not exist, only the fragrance and crispness.

While eating, the system prompt sounded again in my mind:

"According to the introduction of the state banquet master, the host successfully made an excellent deep-fried snack, crispy fish scales, and obtained the basic technique of excellent aquatic products - peeling the fish skin. Congratulations to the host."

what?
And a reward?

Lin Xu originally made some snacks for Baby Shen with the mentality of giving it a try.

Unexpectedly, the system reward was triggered.

It also rewards the technique of uncovering the skin of fish.

Although this technique is likely to be thrown into the corner to eat ashes like the pig-killing technique, mosquito legs are also meat, so don't waste them for nothing.

At this moment, the fish scales in the pot are fried again.

Lin Xu fished it out with a colander and continued frying.

After all the fish scales were fried, he raised the oil temperature and poured the fried fish scales into the pan again for frying.

The scales of the fish are relatively thin, and they will be transparent as soon as they are fried, so the process of re-frying is very short.

Basically pour it into the pot and have to fish it out.

Just took the scales out.

Xie Baomin wandered over.

"Fish scale? Is this what Lao Song taught you?"

Lin Xu nodded, then asked:
"how do you know?"

"Old Song is the best fish cooker in Diaoyutai. We used to call him Fathead Fish, and he turned his face on us several times because of this."

Lin Xu: "..."

You're such a fun guy.

Xie Baomin tasted the scales of the fish, then opened the cabinet next to it, found a cardboard box, took out a package of sealed chili noodles and handed it over:

"It would be better to sprinkle some of this flavor."

Lin Xu took a look and saw that it was no different from the chili noodles that are usually used in the kitchen.

He opened it and sprinkled a little into the basin.

Immediately, he picked up a piece of fish scale covered with chili powder and tasted it.

The taste is a bit more spicy than the crispy one.

This spicy taste is not offensive at all.

On the contrary, there is a pleasant fragrance.

There is a dry fragrance in the mouth, which makes the fish scales more delicious.

"Why is this chili noodles so delicious, brother? After putting it in, the texture and taste of the fish scales have jumped to a higher level."

Lin Xu was very surprised.

I didn't expect this seemingly ordinary chili noodles to be so delicious.

"Soybean powder is added in it, so it tastes more fragrant. If you want to eat barbecue or shabu-shabu dipped in dry dishes, you can also try it. It tastes good."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xu jokingly said:
"Since it's so good, I'll move this cardboard box away."

Unexpectedly, Xie Baomin waved his hand and said:
"Move it away, we don't need it anyway, and it will take up space here."

Can't use it?
What are you doing if you don't need it?

Seeing the disgusted look on his senior brother's face, Lin Xu suddenly thought of a possibility:
"Who did this?"

"It's made by Chef Dai in Building [-]. They are good at Sichuan cuisine. The dry dish dipping sauce in Sichuan cuisine is a piece of cake for them."

really……

This thing was obtained from another building.

"Why did Chef Dai make you so many chili noodles?"

Lin Xu was a little strange.

If you don't open a barbecue restaurant, the amount of this thing is not very large. If you make such a carton, it can be used for at least several months, right?
"The two of us won a bet last time. At the chef's meeting, he said that I dare not touch Lao Song's head, so I pretended to be a fly and swatted Lao Song. This box of chili noodles became mine."

Lin Xu "..."

Unexpectedly, in the small Diaoyutai, there are two crouching dragons and phoenixes, senior brother and chef Dai.

Originally thought that only sand sculptures would be contagious.

Unexpectedly, the phenomenon of person-to-person transmission also appeared in Lezi people.

Seven o'clock in the evening.

Lin Xu finished the work at hand, packed the fried crispy fish scales in a packing bag, then carried the box of chili noodles into the car, took Dundun out, and went home from get off work.

But before leaving, I have to go to Building No. [-].

The sugar cane pear soup tasted good, and it was quite refreshing after drinking, so he planned to "borrow" two sugar canes to bring back and make some sugar water for Baby Shen.

Drive away from Building Two.

He drove along the main road of Diaoyutai towards the rockery.

While walking.

He saw Qiu Zhenhua, the chief chef of Building No. [-].

Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, the elegant and elegant head chef strode forward like a soldier returning from shooting, carrying a few stalks of muddy sugarcane. The setting sun stretched his figure very long.

Lin Xu stopped the car, lowered the window and greeted Qiu Zhenhua:

"Chef Qiu, what is this?"

"Eh? Master Lin, why did you drive here? Are you going to grab sugar cane from Building [-]? Don't go, the chefs in other buildings have finished the sugar cane. Even a few in my hand..."

Lin Xu:? ? ? ? ?
Why don't you put the local tyrants here to divide the land?

You have finished grabbing it, so what about my baby Shen's sugarcane pear soup?
Looking at the sugar cane on Qiu Zhenhua's shoulder, Lin Xu suddenly had an idea...
