Chapter 332 What kind of experience is it like to be forced to change houses by cats?Thief-flavored dry-roasted fish! 【Ask monthly ticket】

"What do you mean?"

Lin Xu was a little confused, so nice, how could Steinway give him a piano?

Even if it can't be sold, it's impossible to distribute it around like this.

"President Yan's secretary asked Dundun what he likes two days ago, and Shu Yun casually answered a Steinway grand piano. As a result, President Yan actually placed an order for one. It was a limited edition commemorative model, and it was very expensive."

This……

Are rich people so casual in giving gifts?
Millions of things can be given away without any hesitation.

If things go on like this, Dundun, a well-behaved and sensible little guy, will fall into the big dye vat of capitalism sooner or later.

Lin Xu said:

"I can't ask for this, it's too expensive... Can you tell Mr. Yan, I'm kind enough to accept it, and ask her to return the piano?"

Baby Shen has a troubled look on his face:

"After I received a call from the Steinway store at the front desk, I contacted Mr. Yan as soon as possible. She also wanted to return it, but she said that she has grown up so much that she never accepts the returned items. She also said that we If you don't like it, you can just throw the piano away, anyway, she won't return it."

Lin Xu: "..."

Mr. Yan's temper is really true, no wonder he is still arguing with Professor Cui at the age of forty. This kind of stubborn temper probably caused Professor Cui a lot of headaches in the early years.

"What should we do now, Xu Bao? The size of our living room is too small to fit, and the old building can't fit a grand piano..."

What can I do.

You can't sell it on the salted fish.

Lin Xu sighed, the only way now is to change the house.

Two mornings ago, I said that I would not buy any big items for the time being, and the family would definitely be able to live in it.

In the end, I really didn't buy anything, but the cat at home bought a grand piano.

"About My Cat Received a Gift and I Was Forced to Change Houses"

Lin Xu muttered in his heart, and then said:

"Because it's not time for dinner, let me discuss it with Sister Jing to find the best solution for changing the house. In addition, I will also pay attention to the listings to see if there are any suitable houses nearby."

The house can’t be too far away from the Lin Kee storefront, within five kilometers is enough. If it’s too far away, commuting to get off work every day is like moving, and good times are wasted on commuting, which is not worthwhile.

However, there are houses in the school district nearby, such as Haidian Middle School and Tsinghua High School. Don’t look at the second-hand houses, but the price is a bit higher than the new houses in other districts.

With this matter in mind, Lin Xu didn't have the heart to admire the fish he just got in exchange for the roast chicken.

Upstairs, Dou Wenjing, Zeng Xiaoqi and others were eating freshly baked dried fish on the table.

Shen Baobao also ate here just now, but when the Steinway store made a call, she went downstairs to answer the phone. Now that she went upstairs, the dried fish was much less.

She quickly sat down and started to eat, if she didn't eat, she would be gone!

Lin Xu said to Dou Wenjing:

"Sister Jing, I plan to change houses, but I don't have the qualifications to buy a house now, what should I do now?"

Dou Wenjing was curious when she heard this:
"Are you planning to hold a wedding with the proprietress?"

Suddenly want to change houses at this moment, there is a high probability that they will get married.

And a pair of lovers want to get married without warning, most likely because of - pregnant.

For a moment, Dou Wenjing's eyes were ignited with raging fire of gossip.

He even glanced at Shen Baobao who was eating spicy dried fish from the corner of his eye.

The little belly is still flat, it seems that it hasn't been long.

Lin Xu took a sip of the tea on the table and said with a smile:

"No, the wedding will be at the end of the year or May [-]st next year at the earliest. It's not urgent. Mr. Yan gave Dundun a grand piano. It can't fit in the room in the back community, so I have to change to a bigger house."

Others change houses, either because of marriage, or because of children, or because they are rich in cash, but they have to change houses by themselves, because they are forced by their own cats.

What a good cat that constantly urges the owner to work hard to make money.

Grand piano?

All the people present showed surprised expressions, especially Zeng Xiaoqi asked curiously:

"Is it the kind of piano at the proprietress' house? Mr. Yan is so generous!"

Dou Wenjing responded with emotion:
"Yeah, I can't believe it."

After feeling emotional, she thought for a while and said:
"You can rent a house first. If you think it's troublesome, the company can rent it out. You and the proprietress can talk about the requirements, and people will find out when you go to work."

Lin Xu shook his head lightly.

If you rent a house, you might as well move directly to a villa on the West Fourth Ring Road.

There is a spacious house and a nanny, and there is no need to endure neighbors who sing karaoke at home and jump rope for fitness on a whim.

More importantly, you don't have to worry about the landlord holding the key to open the door at every turn, which is too unsafe, in case there are cameras installed in the bathroom and other places...

It's scary to think about it.

Lin Xu said:

"It's fine to rent a house, I just want to buy a house now."

Buy a house?

The money in the company's account is not enough.

As a professional manager, Dou Wenjing immediately adjusted her thinking.

Since the boss said to buy a house, then find a way to buy a house:
"The company that bought the car last time was qualified to buy a house. When the time comes, you can buy a house under the name of that company. When you have the qualification to buy a house, it will be transferred to your name."

Same as guessed last time.

Lin Xu asked:

"Is that enough money?"

"The business volume in the store is quite stable now, and the branch of Ziqiang Shengjian is also advancing steadily. We can take out a loan to buy a house. Before the holiday, the bank manager asked us if we could take out a loan."

Banks are under lending pressure, especially after the central bank lowered the reserve requirement ratio, the lending pressure will be even greater.

When encountering a restaurant like Lin Kee with a monthly turnover of several million, the bank really wants to cooperate.

After all, if the store has running water, it means that it has the ability to repay the loan.

"Then let's take a loan, as long as it doesn't affect the operation of the company. In addition, the expansion of self-improvement can be slowed down to stabilize the source of customers. Don't take too big a step."

He originally wanted to imitate Uncle Ge's tone and say "it's easy to tear the egg when you walk too big", but it was inappropriate after thinking about it.

In front of several beauties, it is better to be steady.

"It has been postponed. After the opening of the branch in front of Mr. Su's school, we happen to have eight branches. We didn't think about expansion a year ago."

Eight branches?

If a store earns [-] a month, it can earn [-] a month.

The unintentional move at the time turned out to be a hen laying golden eggs.

"Boss, what do you want from the house? Xiaoqi and I are free anyway, so I can help you find it."

any request?
Lin Xu and Shen Baobao looked at each other and said their request:

"The bigger the better, preferably a large flat of more than 200 square meters, a similar duplex is also acceptable, but the living room must be large and spacious, try to be a new house that has never been lived in, and it should be closer to Lin Kee."

Not much to ask for.

But each one costs money.

Dou Wenjing was dumbfounded when she heard that, the boss is now getting closer to Mr. Shen.

Everything is pursued to be big, the store needs to be big, the car needs to be big, and now even the house has to be replaced with a big one.

She said:
"There don't seem to be many listings for sale nearby. Let's look for them for you first. Director Zeng, Lele, don't just play around, you two can also help you find them."

Zeng Xiaoqi put a piece of dried fish into her mouth, chewed and said:

"No problem, no problem. I like looking at houses on real estate trading platforms the most. The more expensive they are, the more interesting they are."

Lin Xu was taken aback:
"Is this finding a goal for myself?"

"No, it's to dispel the unrealistic idea of ​​buying a house in my heart as much as possible."

Is this... OK?
After Zeng Xiaoqi finished speaking, she turned on her mobile phone and began to search for nearby housing listings according to the conditions Lin Xu said. She said while she was busy:
"Let's screen it first, and then go to see it on the ground. It's just a matter of exercising. After the festival, I actually gained nearly two catties. I really need to exercise."

A few people get up and come to the store to eat and drink all day long, and they also take some snacks with them when they leave.

How happy you are to eat, how uncomfortable it is when you step on the electronic scale.

What made Director Zeng even more uncomfortable was that all the meat he ate grew on his belly, but the place where the meat should grow was still flat and unmoving.

When it came to gaining weight, Dou Wenjing also rubbed her belly:

"I gained a catty and a half. It's really not good to be lazy after eating so much food. Let's look for the house today, and try to go to see it next to it tomorrow. It's exercise."

Shu Yun said:

"I'm fine, I've gained a pound... From today on, I have to lose weight, otherwise what can I do if the custom-made work clothes don't fit me?"

Regarding these women who were anxious about their bodies and couldn't control their mouths, Geng Lele finally understood why so many people were internalized.

She smirked at Lin Xu and asked:
"Brother Xu, what's for lunch?"

"Just now I exchanged some wild carp with roast chicken and Uncle Sun, and made dry roasted fish at night."

Upon hearing this dish, the eyes of the members of the fat reduction team immediately brightened.

Just now they were still worrying about gaining three catties during the festive season, but now their eyes are shining, as if they have been hungry for several days.

Zeng Xiaoqi said expectantly:

"Then I have to try it. I have tasted dry roasted fish a few times in the past and it was very ordinary. This time, Boss Lin made it. The taste must be different. Maybe I can eat two bowls of rice again. What do you think, Xiaodoudou?"

"Yes, yes, I like fish that is particularly tasty."

Shu Yun also looked forward to it:
"I heard that well-cooked dry-cooked fish does not have a little soup. The soup is completely absorbed by the fish. I will eat a few more pieces later."

Lin Xu originally wanted to say that the dry-cooked fish is cooked with diced pork belly, which is relatively high in calories, so eat less later.

But looking at the posture of the few people who are eager to try...

Forget it, don't remind them, lest they can't eat well.

"By the way, Xu Bao, I asked the people in the Steinway store to put the piano in the store first, and then deliver it after we find a house, otherwise it would be bad for the piano to move around."

Seeing that the business was finished, Baby Shen interrupted.

"Row."

If Lin Kee is a hotel or a restaurant with innovative dishes, just send the piano directly to the store.

But Lin Kee is a traditional restaurant, and it is too nondescript to put a piano.

Lin Xu pinched a piece of dried fish and felt that today's dried fish was a bit overcooked, which should be due to the fire.

When the dried fish softens tomorrow, the taste should be improved a lot.

But looking at Shen Baobao, Zeng Xiaoqi, Geng Lele and others chomping down on drinks, it's really hard to say whether they can last until tomorrow.

Dried fish is not available every day. Only when customers order roasted whole lamb, some will be roasted with the residual heat in the oven after the roasted lamb is finished.

In this way, Dundun has snacks, and everyone can try something new.

After tasting the dried fish, he got up and was about to go back to the kitchen when a system prompt sounded in his mind:
"Linji's food topic has reached the top [-] in the national topic list, completed the hidden task [top [-]], and obtained the perfect E dish - stewed pork ribs with lotus root. Congratulations to the host!"

what's the situation?
Dundun's enthusiasm has passed, why did he suddenly reach the fifteenth place in the overall list?

You must know that after the second half of the tidbits, the topic of Lin Kee Food is still hovering in the [-]th and [-]th places, and there is still a big gap with the [-]th place.

Two days have passed, and it is said that it should have dropped to the top [-] or later.

Unexpectedly, this suddenly reached the top fifteen, and also completed a hidden mission by the way.

He took out his phone and looked at the hot topic list. Linji Food was indeed ranked fifteenth, and there was a word "explosive" behind it, which meant that the popularity was rising rapidly.

After clicking on it, he browsed the topic dynamics, and only then did he understand what was going on.

Last night, a group performer who has been playing tricks in Hengdian all year round re-created the video of Dundun, and compared Zeng Xiaoqi and others who were meeting at the other side of the conference table to film practitioners such as directors, screenwriters, producers, and supervisors.

These people are sitting on high chairs, all kinds of sighs. Now the acting skills of the actors are getting worse and worse, which makes it more and more difficult to shoot film and television dramas.

But he didn't notice at all the hard-working performances of some unknown young actors.

The little actors with all the actions and expressions mentioned by the directors can perform, but because the directors can't see it, the little actors represented by Dundun can only sing one-man shows.

In the end, Dundun lay down on the conference table, which represented the young actors accepting their fate, transforming, and quitting the business sadly.

The directors continued to lament that there were no good actors.

The irony is strong.

Both the dubbing and the subtitles perfectly fit Dundun's performance.

So as soon as it was released, it caused a huge response.

Many video creators have launched secondary creations based on Dundun's videos, expressing the sadness of talent being buried.

Dundun's video became popular again.

Even with Lin Kee Food, it became popular again and jumped to the fifteenth place in the topic list.

After reading it, Lin Xu glanced at Zhu Yong who was working in the kitchen. Originally, he planned to ask Zhu Yong to make stewed pork ribs with lotus root for everyone to try.

Now it seems that there is no need to wait for Zhu Yong to do it.

You can easily do it yourself.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Xu went downstairs to catch a few carp that were swimming in the aquarium, and started to cook dry fish.

It is said that the dish of dry-cooked fish was created by the great painter Zhang Daqian. It is also said that a chef who was watching people playing cards forgot the time, which caused the fish to dry up the soup in the pot.

Anyway, this is an uncomplicated but super delicious dish.

Knock the carp's head with a kitchen knife, and then cut the base of the tail to release the fish's blood, and then scrape off the fish scales.

The scales of this kind of fish weighing two catties are not very large, so I will not keep them this time.

The fish scales are not only on the body, but also on the belly of the fish, and they are a little harder. In order to affect the taste, they need to be scraped and cleaned from the beginning to the end.

Open the carp after scraping.

Dig out the internal organs, but the fish roe, swim bladder, and fish oil can be kept, and you can make fish miscellaneous food later.

After cleaning the internal organs, wash the black membrane in the abdominal cavity, remove the gills and teeth, and finally trim the fish tail into a standard "V" shape. This shape is called a swallowtail, which means flying high after eating. .

After completing this step, the carp cleaning work is over.

Wash the fish body again, and then use kitchen paper to dry all the water in the surface and abdominal cavity, and then start to change the carp.

There are many ways to change carp to knife.

There are flower knives, willow leaf knives, peony flower knives and so on.

To cook dry fish today, you need to use a cross knife.

Put the fish flat on the chopping board, cut the knife along the body of the fish at an angle of [-] degrees on the thick meaty part of the back of the fish, and use the tip of the knife to cut until the fish bone stops.

Then a few centimeters apart, and then a knife like this.

The knives must be deep enough to cut to the bone, so that the fish meat can be more flavorful and delicious.

Cut from the beginning to the end, and then cut again at a different angle, so that the knife edges are in a vertical cross state.

Put flower knives on both sides, put it into a basin, spread a layer of salt, then crush the onion and ginger and apply it all over the fish body and abdominal cavity, and finally stuff the onion and ginger into the abdominal cavity of the fish to marinate.

This step is to add a base flavor to the fish to make the carp taste more delicious.

Then cover the lid and let the fish marinate in the basin for ten minutes.

Taking advantage of this time, prepare all the ingredients you are going to use.

Fat pork belly, cut into pomegranate seed-sized particles, mince ginger and garlic, chop bean paste into puree, wash and chop sprouts, and then cut some ingredients such as diced bamboo shoots, diced pickled peppers, and scallions.

In the traditional method, no salt is added to dry-cooked fish, and the salty taste mainly comes from bean paste and sprouts.

The so-called sprouts are green vegetable ingredients pickled with salt, similar to mustard mustard, plum vegetables, radish sprouts and other dishes. They are pickled dishes that cannot be separated from the Sichuan-Chongqing region all year round.

The classic Sichuan-style food, Yibin Burning Noodles, and the salty roasted white meat, which is not inferior in taste and texture to pickled pork with pickled vegetables, etc., are all inseparable from the blessing of sprouts.

Everything is ready and the fish is almost marinated.

Start making.

Lin Xu removed all the scallion and ginger from the fish, and then heated a pan with a little more oil.

When the oil is [-]% hot, add the carp.

After the carp is put into the pot, there is no need to stir it, and it is fried in high-temperature hot oil, so that the surface of the carp will be dried quickly and the skin will not be broken.

On the contrary, if you turn it over just after entering the pan, the fish will definitely stick to the pan.

After frying for a while, shake the frying pan lightly. When the pan can shake, it means that the bottom of the fish has been fried and can be turned over.

Fry both sides, take out to control the oil.

Put the oil pan back on the stove, pour in a frying spoon of cooking oil, put in the pork belly and stir-fry over low heat after the oil is hot, and stir-fry the aroma and fat of the minced meat.

Then add the bean paste, stir-fry until the fragrance and red oil come out.

When it is almost fried, add minced ginger and garlic, diced pickled peppers and sprouts, and continue to stir fry to give the fish a deep flavor.

After all the aromas come out, add a small spoonful of pepper, and then pour in light soy sauce to give a base color to the soup in the pot.

Bring to a boil over high heat, put the fried fish into the pot, pour in the pork bone broth that is less than half of the fish body, and start cooking.

When cooking, use a spoon to continuously scoop up the soup in the pot and pour it on the fish, so that the taste of the soup can completely soak into the fish.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

"That's right, I didn't expect to smell the smell of dry-cooked fish at the door of the kitchen. This is so exciting!"

"I'll eat two more bites later, and whoever grabs me will lose a cup size!"

"..."

At the door, Zeng Xiaoqi and the others smelled the aroma wafting from the kitchen, and they didn't even bother to eat the dried fish, for fear that they wouldn't be able to eat the dried fish later.

They searched for nearby housing listings with their mobile phones, and suddenly saw a penthouse duplex for urgent sale.

"Hey, this house looks good..."
