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

A boss in Shanghai who has a good relationship with Mr. Yan?

So, can a group of high-end customers from Shanghai be added to the store?
This is of great benefit to the son-in-law's store... Shen Guofu quickly thanked:

"Thank you, Mr. Yan, for helping my son-in-law do promotion. I will pay for all the consumption tonight."

Yan Lin immediately waved her hand and said:
"No, although we are partners, it's completely private for me to invite friends to dinner, and I can't ask Mr. Shen to pay for it. Moreover, Xiao Lin's craftsmanship is really good, and it's worth sharing with good friends."

After a pause, she told the secretary:

"Go downstairs to get a card, recharge... [-] million, and get another [-] cards, each recharge [-] million. Last time I came to the capital in a hurry and was complained by a few old friends, this card will help They have charged, and the right is to make amends."

Tut tut...

The employees on both sides who were eating felt a burst of envy.

It's really enviable to have a friend who recharges one million each.

I really want to take a picture of this scene and send it to my cheating friends, so that they can learn the correct way to make friends.

If you want to have good friends who charge one million at every turn, let alone borrowing a video member account, even if you change the account password, it will be fine.

After the secretary left, Yan Lin got up and said:
"You guys continue to eat. I went out to see Dundun. I came here for it today. I didn't expect to be attracted by the food here. Now that I have enough food and drink, it's time to play with this little guy."

She knew that she had a strong sense of majesty, and staying in the private room would make the employees on both sides feel uncomfortable.

Everyone couldn't eat well, and they didn't dare to talk loudly, so they just walked away and gave the employees a relaxed dining environment.

This is not as good as Mr. Shen.

At this moment, Boss Shen was bragging about his son-in-law's craftsmanship with the employees sitting there, and while everyone was not paying attention, he snatched the last piece of pork ribs in black bean sauce left on the plate. He didn't have the airs of being a boss at all.

No wonder the employees of Shen Group support him. This kind of ability to mingle with the employees is really beyond the reach of ordinary bosses.

At the time of starting a business, Yan Lin also tried to mingle with the employees.

The result is that employees are less and less treating themselves as outsiders, and they are very inappropriate in speaking and doing things. They even offended customers and almost bankrupted the company.

Since then, she has always kept a distance from her employees and strived to be strict in management.

The last time I saw the employees of Shen's Group so lazy, Yan Lin subconsciously felt that this kind of company did not have much prospects, and might stumble soon.

But after studying Shen Guofu, I found that this smiling and chubby boss is best at getting along with employees.

When the company was in trouble, more than one employee took the initiative to use his savings to help the company tide over the difficulties.

Can a boss who can make employees take the initiative to support the company out of their own pockets be unsuccessful?
But to be able to cooperate with Shen Guofu, the most important thing is to thank Dundun. At that time, I felt that the trip was in vain and I was in a bad mood, but I didn't expect to meet that cute little elf.

Especially when Boss Shen introduced Dundun as his grandson with a serious look, Yan Lin found it very interesting.

How good a cat is to make a big boss proudly say that he is a grandson?
I didn't expect this cat to be so obedient as hell, and I would panic if I didn't see it for a while.

Leaving the private room, Yan Lin saw Lin Xu in chef uniform standing in front of the small service desk on the third floor, playing a game with Dundun with a cat teasing stick.

One person and one cat cooperate with each other tacitly, and they have a lot of fun, really like a father and son.

"Can I join you?"

Yan Lin has never played the cat teasing stick before, so she thinks it is quite fun.

Lin Xu tried every means to touch Dundun's body with the cat-teasing stick, but Dundun tried every means to stop him, and tried to catch the cat-teasing stick as prey.

After having fun, the little guy even breathed loudly on purpose, whining to scare and tease the cat stick.

I never expected to be able to play games like this with Mao Mao, and I feel that I will not get tired of playing for a day.

Lin Xu put away the cat teaser, looked at Yan Lin and asked:

"Mr. Yan, have you eaten?"

"Eat well, the grilled scallion steak is really classic, I want to eat it tonight."

If I don’t go back tonight, I have to enjoy it again, feel the deliciousness of the big row, and mix some rice with soup and green onions by the way, and reminisce about the way I ate it in my childhood.

Seeing the eager attitude of this powerful female boss, Lin Xu gave her the cat teasing stick in his hand:

"Mr. Yan can try, Dundun is very good at cooperating."

Well, other cats need to be teased by their owners, but Dundun is different. Playing games with this little guy always feels like being teased by him.

It's as if it is teasing people with a cat teaser.

"I won't draw it, will I?"

"No, it's full of feathers, and it won't hurt if you pull it."

Yan Lin clumsily waved the cat-teasing stick, and Dundun let out a few soft calls, a posture of comforting her, which warmed the heart of the female boss.

Little cutie is too good at it, right?

While playing, President Yan chatted with Lin Xu:
"Boss Lin, besides deep-fried pork chops and scallion grilled steaks, what other local dishes do you cook?"

Local dishes?
Lin Xu thought for a while and said:
"Braised pork, this is what I'm good at, as for the others..."

There are also pan-fried steamed buns, but that is not a dish. Although the crab roe buns are also a dish in the Yangtze River Delta, strictly speaking, they are Jiangsu dishes, not local dishes.

"Braised pork is fine. It doesn't matter if you are not good at other local dishes. As long as you can cook a table of dishes from the Yangtze River Delta region, I will invite friends to dinner tonight, and I want everyone to taste the taste of hometown."

Dishes from the Yangtze River Delta region?
This is much simpler, and dishes such as white robe shrimp can be made for everyone to try.

Just as Lin Xu was about to agree, a system prompt sounded in his mind:
"The host received [-] million cash top-up for the first time, and was rewarded with the classic dish of the perfect local cuisine - sweet and sour short ribs. Congratulations to the host."

what?
Someone topped up [-] million?

Lin Xu was a little surprised, but since he got another local dish, let's make it together, he said to Yan Lin:

"I'm also very good at sweet and sour short ribs. If Mr. Yan doesn't mind, I can make one for you and your friends to try at night."

"Sweet and sour short ribs?"

Yan Lin's eyes were full of surprises, she never expected Lin Xu to cook this dish.

To prevent disappointment, she asked in a low voice:

"Is it an old-fashioned way in Shanghai?"

"Yes, there is a lot of sugar, the kind that can make country people cry."

Hearing the word countryman, Yan Lin, who was waving a cat teasing stick, couldn't help laughing:
"Xiao Lin, if you make fun of us Shanghainese again, I will protest."

When Shanghai was developed in the past, people from all over the country were treated as countrymen. Even if people from Yanjing went to Shanghai, they would still be despised all the same.

But now very few people do that.

The younger generation in Shanghai can't even speak Wu Nong's soft language. Everyone speaks Mandarin, and the boundaries between outsiders and locals have become blurred.

The two were chatting, and Shu Yun came up with Yan Lin's secretary.

"Boss Yan, it's all done."

"Find the seven cards and wrap them in a envelope, and give them to the guests at night. Keep the [-] million cards, and when you come to the capital later, if you don't have special arrangements, I'll eat at Xiaolin's place."

It turned out that the [-] million was charged by the [-]-meter Yan Zong.

Lin Xu quickly thanked:

"Thank you Mr. Yan for your support. Just tell me what you want to eat in the future. I will try my best to meet your needs."

The store earns [-] million, which also means that the points are [-] million more.

Then redeem other dish techniques, finally you don’t need to dig out the distressed points, and you can even try to exchange for perfect level dishes... Uh, forget about perfect level.

The starting price of [-] points is still somewhat overwhelming.

Although I have more than [-] million points in my hand now, if I exchange them for perfect dishes, there are only a dozen dishes. Some famous dishes and hard dishes are even not enough with [-] points, and I have to pay more.

In this case... let's try to open the way with the excellence level.

Yan Lin looked at Lin Xu with a smile and said:

"You're welcome, your craftsmanship is worth it, and this is a recharge, not a gift, you have to cook enough of these dishes."

Although, it is also very powerful to be able to charge [-] million.

This will allow the store's cash reserves to reach a new height, the company's operations will be smoother, and even the expansion of Ziqiang Shengjian will be bolder.

After Yan Lin finished speaking, she played teasing cat with Dundun wholeheartedly.

Under Dundun's careful guidance, this resolute female boss quickly mastered the skills and methods of playing with cat teasers.

Lin Xu didn't bother again, and told Shu Yun to stay with Mr. Yan, then washed his hands and went to the kitchen.

Now the business is booming, and both the company and the stores are developing soundly. Although this has its own credit, it is also inseparable from Dou Wenjing's management.

It's time to talk to this sister Yu, who is afraid of being fat and greedy every day, about formal treatment.

Well, since she took office until now, Dou Wenjing has been adhering to a professional code of conduct for a professional manager, wholeheartedly helping the store and the company get on the right track, saving Lin Xu a lot of worry.

Such a worry-free general manager naturally had to be retained with a high salary.

What's more, in less than a month, Dou Wenjing also developed several branches of the Shengjian restaurant that she invested on a whim, becoming a chain enterprise of the company.

According to the current trend, the company can add hundreds of thousands of net profits every month.

This part of the income alone is enough to give Dou Wenjing a high salary.

At the door of the kitchen, he sent a message to Mr. Dou:

"After lunch tomorrow, can we chat together, Miss Jing?"

Dou Wenjing is sitting in the company's office chair at the moment, reminiscing about the tonkatsu at noon. After seeing this news, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she quickly replied:
"Okay, boss!"

It is peace of mind to communicate with such an open boss. Unlike some companies, the employees earn high profits, but the boss pretends to be stupid and doesn't mention the salary increase at all.

This kind of annoying boss should be rectified by the post-00s.

Walking into the kitchen, Lin Xu began to prepare the dishes for the evening.

Among the dishes he has mastered now, the more suitable ones are braised pork, sweet and sour short ribs, deep-fried pork chops, grilled green onion big ribs, white robe shrimp, white jade lotus root shreds, braised saddle bridge, steamed sea bass, crucian carp tofu soup...

But these dishes cannot be served all, such as braised pork and braised saddle bridge, which are obviously a bit repetitive.

As for steamed sea bass, the method of sea bass eaten in local cuisine is different from that of Cantonese cuisine. Although local cuisine is also steamed, when the hot oil is poured at the end, a layer of shallots cut from shallots will be placed on the fish. Steamed fish with soy sauce is also It will be replaced by the homemade soy sauce that Shanghainese prefer.

The so-called homemade soy sauce is soy sauce made from sugar, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce.

The taste is sweet and salty, and the sauce is rich.

White jade lotus root is not a normal dish sold by Linji Gourmet. After all, Diaoyutai is not new, and it would be too embarrassing for Linji to offer it. However, it is not a problem for a distinguished customer like Mr. Yan to try something new.

In addition, Zhuang Yizhou can also ask Zhuang Yizhou to make a dish of Wensi Tofu and Kousan Shredded. This kind of dish is outstanding in appearance, no matter what size banquet it is served on.

It's a pity that there is not enough time, otherwise Zhu Yong can make some drunken shrimp and drunken crab, and the taste is also amazing.

Seeing Wei Qian, Lin Xu told the dishes he was going to make:
"In the evening, I will prepare the table for Mr. Yan to entertain the guests. He has just charged [-] million yuan, so we must pay attention to it as much as possible."

Ten million?

Wei Gan was amazed:

"This boss is really generous. When I was playing games, I didn't even dare to fill up Happy Beans like that... In order to make Sister Kuo Chuo happy, I will offer her a dish of pickled fresh meat tonight."

Pickled Duxian is a popular delicacy in the Yangtze River Delta region. The specific method is to cook it with bacon and fresh bamboo shoots, which are often eaten by Huizhou people.

"Then let Che Zai ask Boss Huang if there are any fresh bamboo shoots. If not, you really can't do it."

Four p.m.

After Lin Xu stewed the saddle bridge, he took out the pork ribs soaked in water and started to make sweet and sour short ribs.

In order to show modesty and to differentiate from the original dishes, people in Shanghai like to add the word "small".

For example, today’s sweet and sour short ribs, as well as small Jinling salted duck, small crab roe soup dumplings, etc. The small ones are not the size, but the unique and independent temperament of the local dishes.

I recognize the orthodoxy of your original approach and your status, but I also want to show the unique personality of Shanghainese.

The word "small" in the dishes expresses all these emotions.

"Boss, what do you want to cook?"

Che Zai walked in with a few fresh bamboo shoots, which Wei Qian used to cook salted fresh bamboo shoots at night.

Lin Xu said:

"I'm making sweet and sour short ribs."

When he heard about this dish, Che Zai immediately became interested:

"Do you need to blanch this dish?"

"No need, remember Che Zai, any pork ribs are not suitable for blanching, just like making pork ribs in black bean sauce, just soak in water more, if you are in a hurry, use baking soda to wash for ten minutes... But if it’s frozen ribs, it should be blanched or blanched.”

Frozen ribs not only need to be blanched, but also not suitable for steamed and sweet and sour dishes. It is best to choose stewed, braised, spicy and other methods with strong taste.

The reason is that after the ribs are frozen, the umami substance will be greatly lost, and the meat will also lose its elasticity.

Drain the ribs and put them in the basket, then prepare ingredients and condiments such as onion and ginger, star anise, rice vinegar, balsamic vinegar, rice wine, rock sugar, white sugar, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and salt.

After everything was ready, Lin Xu set up the wok and started cooking.

As one of the eight famous cold dishes in the local cuisine, sweet and sour short ribs are eaten cold, so it is necessary to prepare them in advance to cool down the temperature of the small ribs.

In this way, the sour taste is restrained, the meat is firm, and the sour taste will gradually emerge from the meat during chewing, making it more memorable.

Add oil to the pot, the amount should be more than that of cooking.

Heat the oil, pour the ribs in and stir-fry.

Don't worry about this step, you must fry the ribs thoroughly, so that the blood and odor in the ribs will dissipate with the water vapor, and the rest will be all meaty.

You don’t need to put anything in when frying, just stir fry directly.

Che Zai on the side was surprised:

"The sweet and sour short ribs in the shop I stayed in the past were fried in sugar color. Don't you fry them, boss?"

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"There are relatively few stir-fried sugar-colored dishes in this group, and most of them use dark soy sauce for coloring. This is how the so-called thick oily red sauce comes from. This dish is perfect if it reveals the color of dark soy sauce. If the color of sugar is rosy, then It’s not an old practice in Shanghai.”

The traditional sweet and sour short ribs must not only have too much sugar juice, but also have a reddish-black color. The part with more juice is directly dark brown. This is the authentic sweet and sour short ribs.

But now, with the deepening of the concept of healthy eating, the taste of local dishes has become much weaker, and even began to shift to the fresh and natural aspects of Cantonese cuisine, and the ingredients have also been restrained a lot.

In terms of sugar addiction, it is even inferior to the people of Wuxi, who are also big sugar eaters in the Yangtze River Delta.

Stir-fry the ribs until the surface turns brown and the fat in the pot becomes clear again, which means that the ribs have been fried thoroughly and the moisture on the surface has dried up.

At this time, Lin Xu poured the prepared bowl of rice vinegar into the pot.

To make sweet and sour short ribs, the amount of rice vinegar is super large. A pound of pork ribs needs about six taels of rice vinegar. However, the source of the sourness of this dish is not rice vinegar, but the balsamic vinegar that is added at the end.

The main function of rice vinegar is to tenderize meat, remove fishy smell, remove foreign matter, and increase aroma.

After the rice vinegar is put into the pot, put two slices of ginger, one green onion knot, one star anise, a handful of rock sugar, a frying spoon of light soy sauce, a frying spoon of rice wine, half a frying spoon of dark soy sauce, a small spoonful of salt, and a large bowl of water.

When finished, cover the pot and simmer over medium heat.

The seasoning of this local dish is very interesting. Don’t look at the sugar and soy sauce that can be used to death, but other condiments are very restrained, especially in terms of aniseed ingredients. One star anise in a pot of ribs is enough.

Another representative dish of the local cuisine, braised pork, does not even have an aniseed place. The whole dish does not use any spices, which truly achieves the original taste.

Simmer for about fifteen minutes on low heat. When the soup in the pot becomes thick, remove the lid.

First pick out the onion, ginger and star anise, and then turn up the heat.

At this moment, the color of the soup in the pot became a bit black, while the color of the ribs was still ruddy.

At this time, grab a handful of white sugar and put it in, and start to stir fry.

White sugar can effectively make the soup thicker, while stir-frying can speed up the evaporation of water.

Soon, the soup became viscous, and the color of the ribs became heavier and heavier, but at the same time, the aroma in the pot became stronger and stronger.

When the soup is close to the drawing state and turns dark brown, pour the prepared balsamic vinegar into the pot along the side of the pot.

After a burst of sour aroma rises, stir-fry for ten seconds, take out of the pan and put on a plate.

If you like to eat sesame, you can grab a handful of white sesame and sprinkle it in, but today Lin Xu wants to eat the old taste that Yan Lin ordered, so the sesame will not be put in.

Just as the ribs were being served, a beautiful face suddenly appeared from the kitchen door, and Baby Shen came back from get off work.

"what are you doing?"

"Sweet and sour short ribs, wait at the door, I specially made more."

Shen Baobao's eyes lit up when he heard the sweet and sour short ribs.

Wow Kaka, I like this sweet and sour dish the most. Xu Bao really hates it. I wanted to eat a fat-reducing meal, but it seems that I can only lose fat from tomorrow...
