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

Chapter 353 When a man is over twenty, it's time for an adult drink! 【Subscribe】

In the shop.

Lin Xu, who was busy with the lunch rush dishes, suddenly found that Dai Jianli, who had just collaborated in the video two days ago, walked into the kitchen.

He asked curiously:

"Brother, why are you so idle all of a sudden? Is there something wrong?"

Dai Jianli glanced at the ingredients in Lin Xu's pot:
"Hey, shredded cabbage, keep busy. I have nothing to do. I got some crayfish. I think the quality is good, so I will bring them to you and put them all in the aquarium downstairs."

crayfish?
You're fine, why did you suddenly come to give me crayfish?
Lin Xu was a little puzzled.

Reminiscent of Chef Dai's name, a possibility suddenly came to mind.

Could it be that the stolen crayfish had no place to put them, so they came here to sell the stolen goods?

He grabbed the wok and quickly fried it a few times. When the shredded cabbage in the wok was almost ready, he used a wok spoon to scoop some balsamic vinegar and cooked it along the side of the wok, then took it out of the wok and put it on a plate.

"Hey, this shredded cabbage is really well-made. If I hadn't just finished lunch, I would have to make a bowl of rice and eat a big plate."

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"Don't leave in the afternoon, let's eat together, just in time to deal with the crayfish you brought."

Since Chef Dai is here to sell the stolen goods, there is nothing to say, just make spicy crayfish and garlic crayfish in the afternoon, and no matter who finds them later, they can pretend nothing happened.

Seeing that Dai Jianli was a little moved, he continued:

"It just so happens that my senior brother comes too, let's have a drink together, we still have the drunk crab that Lao Huang pickled here in the cold storage, let's take it out and try something new together."

Dai Jianli was delighted when he heard it:

"Okay, then I'm welcome."

He rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands carefully, turned on the stove next to him, put the wok on it to wash it twice, and then started cooking with the prepared dishes.

Since he wanted to stay for dinner, he naturally had to help.

The business in the store is busy at the moment, and his joining has relieved some of the pressure on the back kitchen.

Lin Xu saw that Dai Jianli was cooking fried pork with salt, and said with a smile:

"Chef Dai's dish is definitely a surprise for customers."

"It's all the same. Everyone has their own taste. Maybe the customers just don't like what I make."

At two o'clock, when everyone was resting during the afternoon rush hour, Xie Baomin suddenly came upstairs with two silver carps. Seeing that Dai Jianli was there, he said with a smile:

"I told you that you ate the crayfish here. Qiu Qiu still didn't believe it, and then lost to me with two silver carp in a bet. Why do you think it's so hard?"

Lin Xu looked at the two silver carp, which weighed about [-] to [-] catties, and were still alive:

"Are you betting so much now?"

"Originally, it was a thirty-pound one, but Qiu Qiu refused to give it to him. He gave two seventeen or eighty-pound ones. He was very sorry and gave me another jar of crab paste."

Two fish of this size cannot be eaten in one meal.

Seeing that one of them was still alive, Lin Xu took it downstairs and put it in the aquarium, while the other one was ready for dinner.

Carrying the fish downstairs, Shu Yun came to watch with Dundun in his arms. Only then did Lin Xu remember that there was still a perfect drink that hadn't been drawn yet.

Put the fish in the aquarium, and the fish wanders around.

When Dundun saw the fur all over his body, he exploded, stretched out his claws, and entered hunting mode.

"Son, let me give you a hug!"

After taking Dundun from Shu Yun's arms, Lin Xu hugged the little guy and looked at the big silver carp for a while, and then at the huge crayfish next to him.

When Shu Yun returned to the front desk and Song Tiantian sorted out today's running water, he said silently in his heart:
"lottery!"

Soon, a lottery disk flashed in my mind.

Lin Xu did not draw the lottery immediately, but whispered in Dundun's ear:

"Dad needs a hot winter drink the most right now. Get one for me and make delicious silver carp meat for you in the afternoon."

Dundun's eyes lit up when he heard about the food.

Then, the official lottery draw.

After pressing the draw button, the turntable stopped slowly.

Then Lin Xu heard the system beep:
"Congratulations to the host for getting the perfect drink—yam juice."

Yam juice?
Is it the Banu hotpot kind?

In the past, Lin Xu was also a fan of hot pot, and because of his relatively abundant living expenses, he often went to eat hot pot. He didn't think there was anything surprising about the taste of Banu, but the yam juice was delicious.

Every time I go to eat, I start with at least two bottles.

Moreover, the chubby bottle of Banu looks cute and cute, and it whets people's appetite unconsciously.

Now I actually won the yam juice, so there is nothing to say, I will make the video later for everyone to taste, and let Dou Wenjing purchase a batch of beautiful glass bottles by the way, and it will be officially released when it is delivered. new.

The advantage of using glass bottles is that they are more insulated and look more upscale.

Holding one bottle per person, it not only tastes good but also warms hands. When the cold winter comes, who can refuse this temptation.

After the lottery draw, Lin Xu went upstairs and started to shoot the practice of crystal fish scale jelly.

On the other side, the furniture in the new house was delivered one after another.

Those who can take the elevator take the elevator, and those who cannot take the elevator take the stairs to move up.

After the piano was delivered, the tuner who came with him specially adjusted the sound of all the keys, and provided warranty and other services.

After they left, Han Shuzhen sat in front of the piano and played a Butterfly Lovers song, which made Shen Baobao praise:

"My mother is really a standard lady, a talented girl, she is really cheap to my dad."

Han Shuzhen said with a smile:

"This kind of popular music is nothing. You have to learn the works of Liszt, Chopin, Mozart and other masters to learn the piano. Only when you can practice those well can you really get started. You can only play popular piano music. It's just fun."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at her daughter:
"Have you not practiced the piano for a long time?"

"Also... not too long, I practiced "Moonlight" at home for two hours last month."

"Is it okay to play for two hours in just over a month?"

The mother and daughter checked the piano for a while, then went upstairs along the stairs, and saw Shen Guofu who was climbing up and looking into the distance.

"This big terrace is really comfortable. It's definitely a great enjoyment in the capital to breathe the fresh air and see the mountains in the distance when you get up in the morning..."

When Shen Guofu was speaking, he jumped up and down twice deliberately, as if he wanted to do some exercises here.

Shen Baobao said with a smile:
"I've decided that I'll practice yoga on the roof for half an hour every morning, and then go to work after breakfast. Why don't you live here, mom, and we'll be together."

"You can talk about it when you get up in the morning."

Baby Shen: "!!!!!!!!!"

I don't live at home anymore, and my mother actually knows about my sleeping in?

Who in the end leaked the wind?
She took out her mobile phone and was about to ask Xu Bao, her family, when she realized that Shu Yun had posted two photos in the small group, one was a crayfish in the aquarium holding up its pincers, and the other was a crayfish in the aquarium. Swimming tabby carp.

"Today's dinner is big silver carp and crayfish. It is recommended that some shoppers not eat outside, so as not to look at the fish and sigh when they come back."

crayfish?
Big silver carp?
Baby Shen shook the phone at his parents:
"Eating crayfish and big silver carp tonight, what do you want to cook? I'll tell Xu Bao right away."

Shen Guofu rubbed his hands:

"It doesn't matter how you eat, the key is that these two dishes are so good, it would be too disappointing if you can't drink some... Do you think so, wife?"

Han Shuzhen said helplessly:

"If you drink it today, you have to drink it again when your in-laws come tomorrow, and you have to drink it even more when you have a family banquet the day after tomorrow. If you drink it for several days in a row, isn't it a waste of practice?"

Seeing her husband begging, she sighed slightly:

"How about this, Xiao Xu drinks what you drink, this is the head office, right?"

"Okay, okay, wife, you are so kind."

I'll drink whatever my son-in-law drinks. Doesn't that mean he can drink.

When I go back later, I will hint to my son-in-law that when a man is over twenty, he has to drink something different.

When the family of three enjoyed the scenery on the large terrace on the roof, Lin Xu had already recorded the recipe of crystal fish scale jelly.

After the washed and blanched fish scales are steamed in a pot with water for half an hour, the fish scales inside need to be completely filtered out, and then put into the refrigerator for cooling.

Once solidified it can be chilled.

After finishing these tasks, Lin Xu looked at Che Zai and asked:

"How many iron rod yams are there in the store?"

"There's still a whole box."

"Wash it and put it in the steamer to steam thoroughly."

The yam juice can cause symptoms such as itching on the skin, but this will not happen after steaming.

To make yam juice, the yam must be steamed thoroughly before peeling, so that the taste will be more fragrant, and the juice will taste better.

Che Zai promised and went to work.

According to his understanding of the boss, this must be a new dish, just wait for the early adopters.

Take the iron stick yam out of the carton, soak it in water, and use a steel wool ball to wash off the mud on the surface, so that it will not get mud when peeling.

The standard yam juice should be as white and viscous as milk, with a silky taste.

There must be no impurities mixed in, otherwise it will affect the taste and appearance.

"Junior brother, why did you let Chezi steam the yam?"

"Try some yam juice. The sour plum soup can't be sold after the weather is cold, and it can't be supported by pumpkin soup, so I plan to make some yam juice. If it works, I will sell it in the store."

Hot drinks are indeed essential in winter, especially in Chinese restaurants.

Xie Baomin said:
"That's just right. Your sister-in-law and the two children like to drink it. I'm looking forward to tasting your cooking today. The yam juice can relieve the spicy. Tonight's crayfish can be made more spicy, so that the two children can enjoy it."

"No problem, it's definitely spicy and enjoyable!"

At this moment, Dai Jianli had already fished out all the crayfish and brought them to the kitchen, and by the way he took Zhu Yong and Wei Gan to clean them up together.

When he was busy, he did not forget to take a photo and post it in Moments:
"It's a coincidence to clean up crayfish with two young masters who came out of Diaoyutai. One of the two young people is good at making shrimps and the other is good at making pig hearts!"

What is a murderous pig's heart?

That's it!

Seeing this news, Song Dahai, who was cursing at Diaoyutai, couldn't help laughing and cursing:

"This dog is really shameless."

After finishing speaking, he rushed to the head chef of Building No. [-] and said:
"Go, move a few jars of kimchi to Building [-], bring the jars together, and get some spicy rabbit heads by the way, it's time to charge some interest for taking so many crayfish from me."

In the store, after the yam is steamed, it is brought out of the steaming cabinet.

Remove the outer skin of the yam while it is hot, and peel off the white yam inside.

Put the peeled yam into the super-large cooking machine dedicated to the hotel, and then add three times more hot water than the yam. The warm water is about [-] to [-] degrees.

The water temperature for making yam juice should not be too high. If it is too high, the yam juice will not be sticky, and it will be inconvenient to drink. It will still burn your mouth after drying for a long time.

But it can't be too low. The fragrance of yam can't come out when the temperature is low, which is about [-] degrees.

Such a temperature will not scald the mouth, nor will it be cold, and it can be sipped and drunk after a little drying, which is more in line with the needs of customers.

After adding water, Lin Xu put two tablespoons of soft white sugar into the yam according to the amount of yam.

Compared with rock sugar and white sugar, soft white sugar is easier to melt. After whipping, people will not drink sugar grains and sugar lumps. The aroma and sweetness of yam are more perfectly integrated.

In addition to soft white sugar, put a large spoonful of milk powder and two small spoonfuls of custard powder.

Delicious yam juice not only has the fragrance of yam, but also has a faint milky taste. This milky fragrance can not only increase the silky taste of yam, but also relax people.

As for the custard powder, it is purely for coloring.

If only yam is added, the yam juice will be pale and pale, which is almost meaningless in appearance.

And put some custard powder, the color of the yam juice will become milky, and the custard powder also has a thickening effect, which can make the yam juice have a better texture.

After putting it in, turn on the cooking machine and beat it repeatedly several times, so that the yam and several condiments are completely blended into the hot water.

"Wow, this smells so good."

"Can we drink later, boss?"

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"Of course you can. This yam juice is a new hot drink that will be available in our store soon. Let's try it when it's ready."

At this moment, although the yam juice has been whipped, it is still undrinkable, and there is still a final step-filtering.

Although the cooking machine can make the yam fine enough, to be on the safe side, it is necessary to filter the milky hot drink with a tight filter.

This will not only filter out the residue, but also make the taste smoother.

After filtering, take a few cleaned sour plum soup pots and put all the yam juice in it.

After finishing all this work, Lin Xu poured himself a cup, and before he drank it, he could smell the faint aroma of milk and yam in the cup.

Pick up the cup and take a sip.

The unique silkiness of yam juice poured into the mouth.

The texture of the yam juice is sticky, with a silky taste and aroma. After one sip, I feel a lot warmer all over.

I made quite a lot of yam juice today, almost a pot, but the amount of sugar was not much, and it tasted only a little sweet. After careful tasting, you can even taste the unique fragrance and glutinousness of yam.

This kind of collocation makes people feel absolutely not tired.

Delicious!

This is going to be new in the store, both adults and children will definitely like this taste and texture.

"Try it all and see how it goes."

Lin Xu held several glasses and poured them one by one with a drink jug.

Xie Baomin, who was fiddling with the fish head, took a sip and immediately said with a smile:

"This is what a man should drink. If you don't drink tonight, just drink this."

Dai Jianli smiled and said:

"Thank you, are you determined to be a good husband and father or do you think yam has a strong waist and want to drink more Zhenfu Gang?"

He took a sip and fell in love with the texture and taste:

"I don't think it's a bad thing to come to the health care bureau once in a while. Tonight's wine is cancelled, so I just drink this yam juice. It tastes really... Brother, you can open a drink shop now."

Others tasted it and thought it tasted super good too.

Even better than the pumpkin soup in the store.

It's not their fault for making comparisons. The pumpkin soup in the store is only excellent grade, and it was Geng Lele's clamor to drink it. Lin Xu directly exchanged it for the excellent grade and hurriedly introduced a new one.

The yam juice is the perfect grade that Dundun helped to draw.

There is an excellent level in the middle, and the difference is quite obvious.

This yam juice has a light milk taste, a light sweet taste, and a light yam fragrance. With the silky taste, it feels like sweet campus love.

Everything is just right.

"Wow, it's delicious. Boss, are these yam juices sold tonight?"

"Not for sale, let everyone finish drinking it at dinner!"

"Okay, I won't drink water from now on."

"I don't drink anymore, I'm just waiting to drink this yam juice."

After everyone tasted it, Lin Xu put pots of yam juice in the insulated cabinet and took them out after dinner. If they were left to dry outside, the temperature would drop soon.

After finishing this hot drink, the crayfish has also been packed.

Lin Xu set up the frying pan, prepared to oil the crayfish, and started making spicy crayfish.

And Xie Baomin, who finished cleaning the silver carp heads, started to disassemble and braise the silver carp heads.

This is a major dish in Huaiyang cuisine, and it is also the top dish at the Yangzhou Three Heads Banquet.

No matter what level of banquet, as long as there is braised silver carp head, it is definitely a well-deserved protagonist.

The reason why this dish has such a high status is that apart from its good taste and memorable texture, the most important thing is that the whole dish will have a process of removing fish bones before serving.

Remove all the bones from the fish head while keeping the head intact.

After dismantling, it’s not finished yet, and ingredients such as broth, Jinhua ham, shiitake mushrooms, and winter bamboo shoots have to be put into the pot to simmer again. This cooking method puts a huge test on the chef’s cooking skills.

The average chef doesn't even know how to cook the fish head, not to mention stew and bone removal.

Xie Baomin was busy with his work, and said to Dai Jianli:
"Old Dai, you cook crayfish for my junior brother, let him learn how to disassemble and stew silver carp heads."

"Okay, Brother Lin, let's learn it quickly. This is a big dish. In the past, the back kitchen had to cook this dish in a small kitchen, and outsiders can't watch it."

Lin Xu asked curiously:
"Can't the people in your own shop see it?"

"That's for sure. If you learn this kind of side dish, you won't be hungry for a lifetime. Even apprentices have to be old enough to learn it."

Lin Xu was waiting to fry the crayfish, when he heard that he gave up the stove to Dai Jianli.

He came in front of Xie Baomin and carefully watched the method of dismantling and braising the silver carp head.

At this moment, the fish head has been cleaned up, and the black film of the fish teeth has been removed, and it is waiting to be cooked in the pot.

"Junior brother, you can see clearly, the head of silver carp is usually not cut off from the back of the head, but a piece of fish body is taken, and the exact number of fish body is not cut randomly."

Xie Baomin didn't directly say how to chop the fish head, but pointed to the fins of the fish belly and said:

"There are three pairs of fins on the fish body, which are pectoral fins, pelvic fins, and caudal fins. The pectoral fins and pelvic fins are relatively close together. When making a fish head knife, the knife is cut from the middle of the two. In order to sell more money, the traffickers basically cut the knife against the base of the pectoral fin.”

He pointed to the pectoral fins on the fish's head, and then to the pelvic fins left on the fish's body.

"No matter what type of fish head you have, you should always wear the pectoral fins. It's like a pair of small wings when it's unfolded. It's an important decoration in fish head dishes."

Lin Xu nodded silently. These basic knowledge are usually not taught, so you have to study hard.

"This dish is different from the fish head with chopped pepper. The fish head with chopped pepper is split from the forehead. There is less meat in the middle and more meat on the sides, which is convenient for steaming. The head of the braised silver carp is split from the bottom, and the head of the fish is complete. "

After introducing these, Xie Baomin explained the essentials of cleaning.

In addition to cleaning the fish teeth and black film, the root of the fish gills should be pulled out as much as possible, otherwise it will cause great obstacles to disassembly when it is removed.

After explaining these, Xie Baomin began to teach Lin Xu how to cook fish heads.

On the other side, Shen Guofu, who finished collecting the furniture and appliances, drove his Bentley, ready to go back to the store for dinner.

Han Shuzhen, who was sitting in the co-pilot, couldn't help but confess:
"If everyone else is drinking, you can drink less, but not more."

Shen Guofu was overjoyed, and said solemnly:

"Don't worry my wife, I will never drink too much, but I can't drink at all. I saw that Lelefa's friend said that Chef Xie and Chef Dai who is good to Xiaoxu are helping in the store. Why don't I accompany you? It's hard to justify a drink."

After speaking, he couldn't help speeding up the car.

Since Chef Xie and Chef Dai are both here, plus Professor Cui, the owner of Huang who may come to eat in the restaurant...

So many people get together, how come they have to drink some drinks that adults should drink?

Haha, another drunken weekend!
