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

Chapter 258 Burning Turtle!Stewed turtle!Another Father-in-Law Happy Meal tonight! 【Subscribe】

"Dad, this crystal skin jelly was made by Yueyue."

Seeing that his baby was about to cry, Lin Xu hurriedly told the old man the truth.

After he finished speaking, he looked at his parents, and couldn't help but praise in his heart, good acting skills, my father-in-law is so embarrassing, and you two are still praising without changing your face.

Is this just coming back from Kua Kua Qun?

"Yueyue did it?"

Shen Guofu couldn't believe his ears at all.

It never occurred to me that my daughter, who doesn't work hard and doesn't distinguish between five grains, can make skin jelly so translucent and perfect.

As for the dipping sauce... that naturally has to be put aside.

"I wanted to give you a surprise...the result..."

Shen Baobao was so depressed, when he was studying in the morning, he thought that he had opened up the two veins of cooking, and even had a feeling of looking down on me with a kitchen knife in hand.

And the compliment from her in-laws just now made the girl feel like "So I'm a delayed culinary genius".

It turned out that the two elders were just trying to make themselves happy.

Ugh!
Could it be that I can only live in the shadow of Xu Bao in this life and be a carefree and beautiful girl?
Shen Guofu quickly picked up a piece of jelly, and dipped a little bit of the dipping material in the bowl. After putting it into his mouth, he deliberately squeaked a few times, and extended his thumb to his daughter:
"Just now I dipped too much in the dipping sauce. It tastes really good. Girl, fortunately, Chef Xie is not here, otherwise he would have to dig you to Diaoyutai. This skill is really amazing."

Lao Shen's praise made Baby Shen somewhat embarrassed:
"It's not as good as you said. If it's salty, it's salty. You've spoiled me so much..."

From childhood to adulthood, it seems that my father has never criticized himself. No matter what he does right or wrong, in his eyes, it is worthy of praise.

No wonder grandpa has been criticizing dad for being a slave to his daughter.

Lin Xu poured some of the slightly cold tea beside him into the dipping sauce, then stirred it a few times with chopsticks, then picked up a piece of jelly and dipped it in to taste.

The taste is slightly better now, but the saltiness inside can still be tasted.

"How much salt do you put?"

"I didn't put much...Master Wei said it would be delicious with oyster sauce, Master Qin said it would be delicious with light soy sauce, Master Zhuang said it would be delicious with fish sauce, and Master Zhu said it would be delicious with caviar..."

Lin Xu:? ? ? ? ? ?

So you put all these savory seasonings over again?
No wonder it's so salty.

But it is also good to think of asking a few masters for advice.

Just ask all the questions next time, otherwise such mistakes will continue to be made.

"I think it's good, maybe it's because of my heavy mouth. Yueyue's food was just right before, but Xiaoxu's tea is a bit weaker."

Chen Meijuan is still desperately looking for love for her daughter-in-law.

These days, it is so rare to have a daughter-in-law who is willing to take the initiative to cook. My stupid son didn't say a few words, but he actually put on a review here as a gourmet.

Is it stupid to cook?

Baby Shen leaned against her mother-in-law in embarrassment and sat down:

"Mom, stop boasting. If it's salty, it's salty. I'll make it for you again next time. I promise it won't be salty."

"Okay, okay, my old Lin family really found a very good daughter-in-law."

Good family background, good looks, good education... The key is to be so filial and sensible, such a daughter-in-law is really hard to find even with a lantern.

Shen Guofu asked curiously:

"Girl, when did you learn skin jelly?"

"I learned it with Sister Yan in the morning. She should be sitting at home right now and begging for praise."

Learned in the morning?

My daughter is talented!

Old Shen picked up a piece of jelly and looked at it, and couldn't help admiring:
"It's crystal clear. If your mother sees this, she will probably eat a big bowl in one sitting."

Director Han has no resistance to this kind of low-fat food rich in collagen, especially the skin jelly with such a high value, he really loves it to the bone.

In order to let his wife have a certain longing for the dinner, Shen Guofu picked up a piece of jelly, took a photo of it with his mobile phone, and sent it to Director Han:

"Our daughter has secretly learned how to make skin jelly. With this beauty, you can believe that the master of the state banquet made it? In addition, fruit vinegar has also been shipped, and there are ten or twenty wild soft-shelled turtles. Come here early after your outpatient clinic, in-laws and mother-in-law They are full of dust and dust, let's let the couple go back to rest early after dinner."

After posting, he was going to praise his daughter again, but unexpectedly, her daughter disappeared.

Not long after, Baby Shen walked over from the kitchen carrying two steaming bowls on a tray.

"Come here, try my okra steamed eggs and diced chicken steamed eggs, which I also learned in the morning. I just added a little lard in the okra, and chicken oil in the diced chicken."

After finishing speaking, she opened the lids of the two steaming bowls, revealing the delicious steamed eggs inside.

When the okra was steamed, it should have been cut into slices. At this time, it was looming on the surface of the steamed egg, like a bunch of green five-pointed stars floating on the bright yellow pudding.

On the steamed egg with diced chicken next to it, the fresh aroma of chicken oil not only makes the steamed egg more attractive, but also the bright yellow color makes the color of the steamed egg more attractive.

"Girls are so skilled!"

Shen Guofu took over the position of leader of the Kua Kua group, and started boasting before eating.

Shen Baobao took the spoon and handed it to several elders:

"Don't always boast, I can only improve if I give more advice. I'm still waiting to surpass Sister Yan in steamed eggs and become the first person under Xu Bao."

Everyone took a spoon and started to taste two steamed eggs.

The taste is tender and smooth, and the fragrance is rich. Even from a professional point of view, this steamed egg is well done.

"Girl, you are really good at cooking, much better than your mother. She can only cook some home-cooked meals until now, and she still can't do it well."

"Ha, do you dare to say that to my mother, are you afraid that she will force you to dance tonight?"

Shen Guofu glanced at the direction of the stairs with a guilty conscience, and then laughed dryly:
"It's not that she's not here..."

After Chen Meijuan and Lin Hongqi tasted the steamed eggs, they were full of praise.

This time it was a real compliment.

Because this steamed egg is perfect regardless of its texture, taste, or appearance. Even if you go to an ordinary restaurant, you may not be able to eat such a good dish.

After all, restaurants have to consider the cost, and they won't be able to use unlimited ingredients like Shen Baobao.

For the oil-stimulating step, there are also seasoning oils such as lard, chicken oil, and shrimp oil for her to choose from.

After the meal, Shen Guofu, his father and daughter accompanied Lin Hongqi and his wife to the community behind, preparing to drink tea and chat, and wait for dinner to arrive.

After sending off his parents, Lin Xu just went upstairs to check on the preparations for dinner, when Shu Yun walked over with a smile:

"Boss, how do you drink those fruit vinegars? You can teach us."

教？
I think you want to try it?

"I'm not busy right now, let me make some for you, don't drink too much, a small cup a day is enough."

"Okay okay."

Those fruit vinegars have been moved to the storage room upstairs, and Lin Xu filled a pot with a glass pot of pumpkin soup.

The fruit vinegar is a beautiful amber color and has a high-end feel when served in a glass jug.

Lin Xu put a few spoonfuls of honey into it according to the amount of fruit vinegar, and then stirred it evenly with a long chopstick to let the honey evenly spread out in the fruit vinegar.

After stirring well, he poured out a small cup and tasted it.

The taste is sweet and sour, with a strong fruit flavor.

Lin Xu doesn't know if it's good for his health, but it's quite comfortable to drink anyway.

"What about the boss? Is it good?"

"It's pretty good. Take it and let everyone taste it. If everyone thinks it's good, I'll buy some good fruits and make some later."

When Shu Yun heard this, a surprise expression appeared on his face:

"Ha, I must have done great things in my previous life, otherwise why would I meet such a good boss like you?"

"No, it should be because I did a great deed that I met such a good employee as you."

After the two exchanged business ideas, Shu Yun took the glass pot and went downstairs to share it with the waitress in the shop.

A cup of fruit vinegar, even if you drink it every day, has a weak effect on beauty.

But as long as it can bring you a good mood and play a positive role in your work, it is worth it.

Lin Xu plans to find time to buy some better fruits and make some in the old man's villa. The second floor of the villa is like a cellar, which is very suitable for making this kind of fermented drinks.

After Shu Yun left, Wei Gan asked curiously:

"You can brew your own fruit vinegar, and fruit wine, right?"

Lin Xu nodded and said to him:

"It's fine, but I don't recommend brewing it yourself, because home-brewed fruit wine is too easy to produce methanol. Relatively speaking, fruit vinegar is simpler, and it will spoil at most and will have no other impact."

Hearing that there was methanol, Wei Gan, who originally wanted to make some wine himself, immediately died down.

Forget it, life matters.

It is more appropriate to buy it if you want to drink it in the future.

"Ah, this cider vinegar tastes sour and sweet!"

"It feels different just after drinking it."

"That's right, you see how good Mr. Shu's complexion is, it must be the effect of drinking fruit vinegar."

"..."

In front of the service desk on the first floor, the waiters finished drinking the fruit vinegar that Shu Yun had brought over, feeling as if they had received a panacea.

Fruit vinegar is actually not important, what is important is that the boss does not forget to share with the employees when he has something good. This feeling of being valued is what everyone wants most.

From joining the job to the present, the boss almost never eats small stoves.

Whatever you want to eat, you will eat it with the employees.

Staff meals in other restaurants generally cost no more than five yuan per person, or less, but Lin Kee’s staff meals have never set a cost limit.

Who doesn't like such a boss.

After everyone finished drinking a small cup, Shu Yun said to everyone:
"Work hard after drinking, and try to make a pot for you every day in the future."

You can't drink too much of this thing, after a round of drinking, there is still half a pot left in the pot. With this consumption, it is estimated that there will be a lot of fruit vinegar left after the boss's new fruit vinegar is brewed.

The waiters were even happier when they heard that it was available every day:
"Thank you, Mr. Shu!"

"We will try our best!"

"Mr. Shu and the boss please rest assured!"

Four p.m.

Xie Baomin hurriedly pushed the door open and walked into the shop.

After entering the door, he didn't go upstairs, but went straight to the aquatic product area next to the waiter.

After seeing the soft-shelled turtle inside, I couldn't help admiring:
"Well, it looks wild at first glance, and it's so big, it's the best in the wild!"

While watching, Lin Xu came over:

"My father-in-law wants to eat Farewell My Concubine, and also wants to drink soft-shelled turtle soup, can senior brother teach me?"

"Can, can, can, it's simply too capable."

The so-called Farewell My Concubine is actually just a dish cooked with soft-shelled turtle and chicken, which can be found almost everywhere.

Xie Baomin first fished out the largest soft-shelled turtle from the aquarium with a dipping net:

"This one is fat and big, and it will be braised with the chicken later."

Then I fished out another one, which was not too big but quite solid:

"It's only suitable for making soup. Put it in a steamer and stew it over water. When it's stewed, put some angelica wolfberry in it. Drinking it can make people's nose bleed."

After he fished it out, he thought about it, and then fished out the smallest ones together:
"These pigs are too small, so they are not suitable for making soup or braised in soy sauce. Don't you have braised duck soup in your shop? After blanching, make some spicy soup for braised duck and marinate it for half an hour. Spicy soft-shelled turtle eaten whole."

Soon, these soft-shelled turtles were clearly arranged by Xie Baomin.

"Now that the arrangements are made, let's get started!"

Lin Xu understood the senior brother and father-in-law's desire for such ingredients, so he went upstairs with the soft-shelled turtles and went to the kitchen to start tidying up.

"Braising in soy sauce won't take that long. Let's make soft-shelled turtle soup first."

Xie Baomin taught Lin Xu to kill the soft-shelled turtle with a kitchen knife.

This is a more skillful process, because many people have the experience of killing turtles and being bitten, and some people cut their hands while avoiding being bitten by turtles.

"When killing soft-shelled turtles bought in the market, it is best to chop off their heads, because most of those soft-shelled turtles are caught by fishing, and many of them still have hooks in their heads, so it is easy to hurt their mouths if they eat them... But this kind of soft-shelled turtle , there’s no need to chop off the head, it’s still a piece of meat, it’s a pity to throw it away.”

Xie Baomin put the turtle on the chopping board, held the turtle with his left hand, and scratched the tail of the turtle a few times with his fingers, so that the turtle's head sticks out.

Putting your hands on the tail can also effectively prevent being bitten by turtles.

After the turtle's head was fully stretched out, Xie Baomin took the kitchen knife and tapped the turtle's neck with the tip of the knife.

Before Lin Xu saw the operation clearly, the soft-shelled turtle died.

Wei Gan, who wanted to learn a trick next to him, couldn't help muttering:
"Chef Xie, what kind of operation are you doing? How can you die with a light touch with the tip of a knife? Could it be that this turtle also has a dead spot?"

Xie Baomin grabbed the turtle's still struggling neck, and showed Wei Gan the knife edge:

"This part is the trachea, and it will be broken with a light prick with the tip of a kitchen knife. If the trachea is broken, the turtle will naturally die."

"This knife technique is really good, it almost cut a blood vessel... Oh no, Chef Xie, can't this turtle be bled?"

"No, the blood of the soft-shelled turtle has umami taste, and it can be preserved to enhance the freshness."

There are many ways to do turtles, and there have always been debates about whether to let the blood out, but for Xie Baomin, who is a food supplementist, the blood of turtles must never be released.

When the turtle no longer struggles, use a kitchen knife to cut off the upper cover along the skirt of the turtle.

Pull out the internal organs of the soft-shelled turtle, and by the way, pull off the large chunks of yellow fat in the stomach. These fats have a strong fishy smell and cannot be eaten.

After the viscera and fat are all emptied, put the soft-shelled turtle in a basin, pour hot water of about [-] degrees to scald the soft-shelled turtle.

The surface of the soft-shelled turtle has a layer of mucous membrane that resists bacteria and viruses. It has a strong fishy smell. It needs to be scalded with hot water and then torn off carefully. However, boiling water cannot be used when scalding, otherwise the skirt will be scalded.

Anyone who knows how to eat turtles knows that the skirt is the treasure of the turtle.

The gelatinous taste is not even inferior to the bird's nest and shark's fin, which is why the ingredient on the skirt is listed as the eight treasures of water.

Soak in water at [-] degrees for one minute. When the black film on the back shell of the soft-shelled turtle falls off when you rub it with your hands, it means that the scalding is in place, and you can carefully wash the soft-shelled turtle with its shell.

But the soft-shelled turtle's stomach is not good enough, so it needs to be soaked for a while.

Because the membrane on the soft-shelled turtle's stomach is thick and hard, it needs to be soaked for a while before it can be torn off.

After tearing off the outer membrane, Xie Baomin chopped the soft-shelled turtle into large pieces, then put it into the pot, added cooking wine and began to blanch.

Taking advantage of the blanching time, he brought a stew pot, put a handful of washed goji berries in it, and then added a handful of Chinese caterpillar fungus, angelica and other medicinal materials.

Finally, add mountain spring water, two teaspoons of salt, two teaspoons of pepper, half a spoonful of Huadiao wine and a few pieces of rock sugar. This is considered a good taste.

At this moment, the water in the pot has also boiled.

Skim off the floating foam with a spoon, take out the soft-shelled turtle and wash it, then put it into the stewing pot, cover it and put it in the steaming cabinet to start steaming.

"In an hour, the turtle will be done."

After Xie Baomin closed the door of the steaming cabinet, he said to Lin Xu:
"Blanching water will actually cause nutrient loss. The best way is to put the soft-shelled turtle in lard for a while, and use the lard to fry the fishy smell of the soft-shelled turtle. This is a better way to make soup, but the price is to ruin a pot of lard. .”

Turtle has a strong fishy smell, especially in the abdominal cavity. Even if it has been washed, the fishy smell will remain in the oil after oiling.

So Xie Baomin didn't use this prodigal method.

As for the soup, it is not very good to be oily, but it is better to drink clear soup.

After the soft-shelled turtle soup was stewed, the free-range chicken was also delivered.

You can make the braised version of Farewell My Concubine.

Xie Baomin said to Lin Xu while he was busy:

"In the soft-shelled turtle soup just now, it would be better if an old hen raised by the farmer can be put in. Unfortunately, it is not easy to buy now. The so-called old hens are basically laying hens eliminated by chicken farms."

While lamenting the rarity of good ingredients, he swiftly slaughtered the soft-shelled turtle.

After slaughtering, cut the soft-shelled turtle into large pieces, and divide the soft-shelled turtle into four parts, so that it is convenient to arrange on the plate when serving.

As for the free-range chicken, it was also chopped into pieces the same size as the soft-shelled turtle.

After the main ingredients are ready, cut the ginger into large pieces, cut the garlic in half, cut the green onion into inch sections, cut the green and red peppers into pepper rings, and prepare two star anises, a few prickly ash peppers and a few fragrant leaves.

When everything is ready, start cooking.

Put the frying pan on the shelf, put a large spoonful of lard in the pan, heat it up, pour the soft-shelled turtle and chicken pieces into the pan, then add a handful of rock sugar and start to stir-fry.

This kind of stir-frying method allows the soft-shelled turtle to dissipate the fishy smell during stir-frying, and at the same time allows the rock sugar to evenly color the ingredients during the stir-frying process.

When the water in the turtle and chicken nuggets is almost fried, the rock sugar has completely melted into a sugar color, and hangs evenly on the turtle and chicken nuggets.

Xie Baomin was stirring and fantasizing about the wild turtles he ate, and he even hummed "Shajiabang" proudly.
When he was getting excited, he turned his face and suddenly saw Guo Weidong standing on the side, he was startled:
"What the hell are you doing here?"

Guo Weidong pouted behind his back:

"Xinghai is coming to the capital to attend tomorrow's opening ceremony. I'll send him here to meet Master Lin first... isn't he just a soft-shelled turtle? Thank you, why did you encounter the panacea? If you have any health problems, go and have a look. Don't be stubborn." support."

Xie Baomin: "..."

If you beep again, believe it or not, I hit you on the head with a frying spoon?

--------

I have searched for a long time to find out whether to bleed the soft-shelled turtle or not. Everyone has their own reasons. Anyway, every time I burn it, I will bleed and wash it, because I always feel that it will be fishy.This chapter is 5200 words, ask for a monthly pass, brothers!
