Chapter 499 Soy sauce meat is really a versatile ingredient!After the settlement approval was passed, Lin Xu was stunned! 【Subscribe】

The soy sauce meat is delicious, the sauce is rich, salty and delicious, and you can even taste a touch of sweetness after eating. This taste and firm texture make the soy sauce meat extra delicious.

But it was midnight after all, and Lin Xu was not very hungry, so he put down his chopsticks after eating two pieces of meat.

He set up the frying pan, poured the dripping fat from the tray into it, and boiled it over low heat.

This is done to get rid of the peculiar smell, and by the way, high temperature is used to blend the aromas of lard and soy sauce together, making the oil more fragrant and taste better.

After boiling, remove the fat and pour it into a small bowl.

the next morning.

After Lin Xu washed up, he went to the downstairs kitchen to prepare breakfast.

He first boiled the pumpkin porridge he wanted to drink in the morning, mixed some noodles for making pancakes, and then took out the tofu skin he brought from the shop yesterday.

I originally planned to make tofu skin rolls with meat stuffing this morning, but now that the soy sauce meat is ready, I will make this tofu skin rolls next time.

Cut the tofu skin into wide strips, then cut into slices, scald it with hot water, remove it and put it in a basket to control the water.

Taking advantage of this time, take out the soy sauce meat that was made yesterday, and cut it into thinner slices with a kitchen knife.

It was steamed and then cut last night. It was easier to cut, but now it is cut directly from raw meat, which is relatively hard, but with this texture, it is easier to cut thin.

Cut the meat, squeeze the tofu skin dry and put it on a plate, then divide the cut meat in soy sauce in half, and cover the tofu skin with half.

As for the remaining half, it is steamed with cabbage leaves.

Cut the cabbage into slices with leaves, put them on a plate, and put the soy sauce meat on top.

After finishing the two dishes, put them in the steamer and start steaming.

Taking advantage of this time, he cut some chopped green onions for making pancakes, then put a large spoonful of flour into the bowl, added two small spoonfuls of salt and two small spoonfuls of five-spice powder.

Take out the fat that was boiled yesterday, heat it, pour it into a bowl, and make it into a paste while it is hot, which becomes the most commonly used pastry for making pancakes.

With the pastry, the pancakes made are not only layered, but also have a strong fragrance.

While Lin Xu was busy with work, Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan were woken up by Han Shuzhen, and went upstairs to do aerobics on the rooftop, while Old Shen was already sweating from jumping with the skipping rope.

The more meat you eat, the more exercise you need.

As for the purpose of exercise, it is just to eat more meat.

The reason why Lao Shen has been able to persist in exercising is actually the biggest motivation for him to eat.

Only by training your body well can you eat meat and drink to your heart's content. If your body breaks down, no matter how much money you have, you can't chew on your big elbows. What a pity!

In the kitchen, Lin Xu rolled out the loosened dough with a rolling pin, spread the prepared pastry on top, sprinkled with chopped green onion, rolled it up, divided it into dough pieces, pinched the two ends and turned it, pressed it into cakes, and used a rolling pin Roll out into dough.

Heat oil in a frying pan, put the dough into it and bake.

This kind of noodle cake is a staple food that is very common in northern families, and it has a strong sense of fullness.

Finish the pancakes, and the upstairs campaign is over.

Lin Xu neatly stacked the pancakes on the chopping board, cut them open with a knife, put them in a basket, and brought down the pumpkin and millet porridge boiled in the casserole.

Finally, the two steamed dishes were brought out from the steamer.

As soon as the door of the steaming cabinet is opened, the delicious smell wafts out. The smell of tofu skin is mixed with the deliciousness of soy sauce meat, which makes people appetite.

And the other dish of cabbage smelled like a stew.

Sprinkle some scallions on the two dishes, burn a little peanut oil on top, the aroma will become more intense, and the addition of oil will also make the taste of tofu skin and cabbage leaves better.

Bring the two dishes to the dining table, and put the leftover roast chicken and kimchi and other dishes from last night, and a hearty and delicious breakfast is officially completed.

Shen Jiayue bounced down from upstairs, took a bite of the pancake on the table, and said with a smile:

"It's delicious. It feels like eating meat. It's indeed made of soy sauce meat soup. It's like eating meatloaf... Dad, you never ate this kind of pancake when you were young, did you?"

Shen Guofu sat down with a smile, took the porridge from Lin Xu and said:
"When I was young, it was not easy to eat pancakes. At that time, your grandma steamed some multigrain steamed buns, broke them open, rubbed them with lard and coarse salt, rubbed them while they were hot, and took a big bite when the lard melted. It is the greatest enjoyment."

Chen Yan took a small sip of the porridge in the bowl, then picked up the pancakes to eat:
"My mother said in the past that my family was the poorest in all hutongs. We couldn't afford firecrackers when people set off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, so we took a spinning top whip and whipped it in the yard a few times. If there was a sound, it would be New Year's Eve."

Shen Guofu put a piece of soy sauce meat with tofu skin into his mouth, chewed and said:

"For Chinese New Year, you will know when there is a noise. There are so many people setting off firecrackers. God can't tell who is setting off firecrackers and who is fooling him... Hey, this soy sauce meat is not bad when eaten with yuba, okay It’s the first time I found that it can be combined like this, this dish is very enjoyable.”

Han Shuzhen gave him a blank look:
"As long as there is meat, there is nothing unpalatable in your eyes, right?"

"That's not true. When I ran a business in the Southwest, I encountered people who ate stinky meat. I couldn't bear it. The taste must be good, but I can't get over the hurdle in my heart."

When he was young, Shen Guofu also traveled extensively, and he has seen and heard about delicacies from all over the world.

He can't eat stinky meat, but he has no resistance to beef stew soup. He can eat stinky tofu all he can eat, but he doesn't get cold very much from stinky winter melon and stinky amaranth.

Lin Xu said:

"I don't have all the ingredients at home today, and I don't have time to soak bean curd sticks. In fact, there are quite a lot of dishes that can be steamed with soy sauce."

Basically, all dishes that can be steamed with bacon can also be steamed with soy sauce meat, such as shredded bamboo shoots, radish sprouts, dried plums, tofu, yuba, mandarin fish, eggs, sea bass, taro, etc.

Moreover, this kind of meat can be used as both a dish and a condiment, which is much easier to prepare than ordinary dishes.

Shen Jiayue was shocked when she heard that:
"Can you cook so much food? Xu Bao, can you cook them all and try them all? They all taste delicious."

It never occurred to me that there is such a long list of dishes that can be steamed with soy sauce. If you add stewing, frying and so on, wouldn't it be more?
Lin Xu said:

"No problem, as long as you want to eat, we can make it. It's quite easy anyway."

Simple, delicious and trouble-free, there is no reason to refuse.

Lin Xu picked up a chopstick of cabbage and meat with soy sauce. The fat of the meat was completely absorbed by the cabbage, making the meat delicious and delicious without any greasy feeling, while the cabbage was as delicious as stewed meat.

There is no seasoning in the cabbage, but after absorbing the sauce of the soy sauce meat, the unique sweetness of the cabbage is stimulated instead, and it is indeed different from fried and stewed Chinese cabbage.

After breakfast, Shen Guofu and Han Shuzhen went to work, Chen Yan went to the company to monitor the progress of today's filming, Lin Xu cleaned up the kitchen, picked up Dundun, and went to the store with Shen Jiayue.

A new day begins.

The end of the year is approaching, and the streets are full of New Year's atmosphere. On both sides of Yingchun Street, people from the street office are busy hanging lanterns.

Although it is not yet the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, it is the new year after Laba, so hang it up early, so that people nearby can feel the festive atmosphere earlier.

After parking the car, Lin Xu got out of the car with Dundun in his arms. As soon as he entered the store, he met Shu Yun, Zeng Xiaoqi and Dou Wenjing who were coming downstairs after breakfast.

"Boss, Brother Feng went to communicate with the village committee where Uncle Shang owned the land. The other party was very arrogant at first, but after Brother Feng revealed his identity, he started making connections and said a lot of bad things about Uncle Shang."

After listening to Dou Wenjing's words, Lin Xu asked:

"Brother Feng, do you have any suggestions?"

"His suggestion is to ignore the other party. Uncle Shang won't be there after the next year anyway, but he thinks you won't agree, so he plans to cooperate with Police Officer Ren to see if he can find any black material."

Lin Xu thought for a while and said:
"Let Brother Feng check it out and try it out. If it doesn't work, forget it. It's not that we are afraid of trouble. The main reason is that this kind of thing may involve a lot, so we don't need to wade into this kind of muddy water."

In the countryside on the outskirts of Beijing, there are many people with clear hands and eyes.

On my side, maybe I will provoke some big shots, and then I will be unlucky, maybe it will be... eh?Unlucky?With the existence of Dundun's luck bug, I shouldn't be unlucky here, right?
Thinking of this, Lin Xu rubbed Dundun's head.

From the beginning until now, the little guy has never expressed any objection. When Chen Yan said about the investigation, it even gave Chen Yan a high five.

Could it be that the village can really find out something?
But it's a bit difficult for a lawyer and a criminal policeman to investigate this kind of thing, and everyone has a job, so it's somewhat inappropriate to investigate this kind of thing in their spare time.

Just as he was thinking, the voice of the old grandson came from behind:

"Xiao Lin, is there anything delicious to eat today? It's cold and I can't go fishing. Standing at home is not standing, sitting is not sitting. It's almost a problem."

Ok?
I was worrying about the candidates for the investigation, but I didn't expect the old grandson to come. Isn't this just a pillow for me when I fell asleep.

Lin Xu said:

"I do have something very exciting here, would you like to hear it?"

When the old grandson heard it, his listless eyes suddenly became bright:
"What's the matter, Xiaolin? Tell me quickly."

"It's like this. We encountered an annoying incident two days ago. As an old police officer, please give us some advice."

Lin Xu's original plan was to consult, and if the old grandson took the initiative to ask Ying to investigate, he would ask Dundun to add a luck buff to him.

If you don't want to go, or if you don't have a strong intention to go, then listen to his opinion and see what to do.

Putting Dundun on the service table, Lin Xu's old grandson, Dou Wenjing, and Zeng Xiaoqi, who joined in the fun, sat together at the next table.

After pouring hot tea, Lin Xu told the story of meeting Uncle Shang.

For the old grandson who is used to wind and rain, this is just a trivial matter, he said with a smile:

"Give me the address of that black pit. I've been fishing for a while. As for the rest, I'll take a look and talk about it. You can create a group and bring everyone in. We can discuss it ourselves."

The old grandson didn't say too much, but he was obviously moved.

After all, in this long winter when there is no fishing, it is nice to have something to kill time.

He is short-tempered, and he is ready to set off after speaking, and he can also enjoy the addiction of fishing by the way. Seeing this, Lin Xu said to Dundun on the service desk:

"Dundun, your grandpa grandpa is leaving, hurry up and say goodbye."

Dundun reluctantly raised his paw.

This is... Do you think the old grandson is not in danger?
Lin Xu immediately felt relieved, as long as nothing happened.

He created a group on WeChat, and brought in Brother Ren Jiefeng, Old Suntou, Chen Yan, Dou Wenjing and others.

After the old grandson left, he came upstairs, Che Zai said:

"The elbows are all delivered, they are very well-proportioned, and each weighs about two and a half catties."

This weight is not too big, it is really suitable for making red stewed elbows.

Just as Lin Xu wanted to check the quality of the elbow, his cell phone rang suddenly.

When he got through, he found out that it was the Haidian Administrative Service Center who was talking about the thing he was most interested in and was struggling with for the past two days... Settling down.

"Lin Xu, right? Bring your household registration booklet and ID card within a week and come to the administrative service hall to go through your naturalization procedures. Congratulations on your successful settlement in the capital."

Lin Xu:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Did the surprise come so suddenly?
He went to Yanjing Hotel yesterday, and it happened that Ye Lixin was going to report on his duties and was not in the hotel, so he didn't inquire about the settlement.

I originally planned to go again today, but I didn't expect to be notified here.

Is this too fast?

"By the way, when you come, don't forget to bring your recommendation letter from the Chinese Cuisine Association, it will be kept on file here."

What?
Chinese Cuisine Association?

Didn't Yanjing Hotel help with this?
Lin Xu's mood gradually changed from surprise to bewilderment, feeling that things exceeded his expectations.

After hanging up the phone, he calmed down and called Xie Baomin:
"Brother, is it the master who handles the matter of my settlement?"

"Yes, I only found out about the application you submitted on the day you opened the business two days ago. Has it been approved now?"

"Well, let me go through the naturalization procedures with my household registration book and ID card within a week."

"Then go quickly, is the account book here? If not, let your parents send it over, and get this matter done quickly, and shave your head early to cool off."

As expected, it was done by Master.

Thinking about it, I was still a little confused when I was apprenticed to the master, but now it seems that I have been sheltered since I called the master.

Such a master is really inspiring.

Xie Baomin said:
"Congratulations to Master, so that he won't have to worry about it while playing outside. By the way, when will you return to the capital? Your wedding is very close."

"Yeah, I'm calling right now."

Lin Xu took a deep breath, and his heart was full of gratitude to Master.

After calling to report the matter, Uncle Gao was very happy:
"Finally approved. When you see Lao Guo later, remember to thank him. He has gone to this matter several times. It's not easy for his old arms and legs."

"Good master, by the way, when are you going back to the capital? I'm still waiting to report to you about my recent study progress."

Uncle Gao said with a smile:

"Hurry up, I'm in Chengdu now. I just finished chatting with the elders of the Dai family. After we finish shopping here, we will drive the RV to Spring City, the provincial capital in southern Yunnan, and then fly directly to the capital."

The itinerary is pretty full.

Lin Xu chatted for a few more words, hung up the phone, and then reported the matter to both parents and elders in the family.

For Lin Xu, being able to settle in the capital is a small leap in his life. With this status, no one will look at him like a foreigner anymore.

"Xubao, can we get the certificate now?"

Shen Jiayue was very happy, after living together illegally for so many days, it was finally going to be legal.

Lin Xu pinched the girl's face and said:

"I will be naturalized when I get the household registration, and then we will go to get the certificate... I will make pork belly first, otherwise I won't be able to eat at noon."

"Okay, okay, go quickly, I will share this good news with you."

Back in the kitchen, Lin Xu saw the elbow sent by Lao Hu. At this moment, Che Zai, Qi Siliang and a few helpers were burning the pigskin with a spray gun.

To make elbow dishes, this step is basically indispensable.

Not only because the skin of the elbow tends to have a peculiar smell, but the most important thing is that the skin of the elbow is prone to stubble.

After burning the skin, the elbow needs to be deboned. Lin Xu thought for a while and asked:
"The red stewed elbow needs to be boneless. Does Lao Hu have boneless elbow?"

"Some bosses, Lao Hu asked this morning if they wanted to take off the bones. I can't make the decision, so I just want these."

Che Zai said while busy.

Lin Xu boiled half a pot of hot water and soaked the blackened elbows.

Soaking in hot water can wash away the dirt inside and outside the pigskin to the maximum extent. If you use cold water, the pores will shrink, and the dirt inside may be sealed into the meat.

Soak for about ten minutes, take a kitchen steel brush, and carefully clean the stains on the surface of the pigskin.

Then wash the elbow again, cut it from the thinnest part of the meat, and remove the bone from the elbow.

The red stewed elbow needs to be deboned, which is not only convenient for cooking, but also makes the dishes look better.

As for the removed bones, they will not be wasted. Adding them in when the pork bone broth is boiled later will improve the quality of the broth by a bit.

After all the elbows were boned, Lin Xu put the elbows into a pot of cold water, added scallion, ginger, pepper, and star anise, then poured in a large bowl of rice wine, and blanched them on high heat.

It is said to be blanched, but in fact it is to boil the elbows to pieces.

This process takes more than half an hour, and the elbows must be thoroughly cooked before proceeding to the next step of production.

Taking advantage of the cooking time of the elbow, Lin Xu specially made some stewed soup with pork bone broth. This stewed soup is colored with sugar and red yeast rice, and it is served with more than a dozen commonly used stewed meat ingredients, rock sugar, salt, and light soy sauce Wait for the condiments to cook.

After simmering for about half an hour, it becomes a stewed soup that cannot be separated from red stewed elbows.

While he was busy in the kitchen, Shen Jiayue was sitting outside, chatting with Geng Lele on his mobile phone.

"Sister Yue, the Chinese name of the speaking teacher I'm looking for is Wang Cuihua. She said that a good friend gave me the name, and asked me if this name symbolizes elegance and holiness."

Shen Jiayue:? ? ? ? ? ?
Is this being tricked?
She asked curiously:

"As soon as you hear this name, you know that your head is not very good. There are so many foreign teachers speaking English. Why did you find her?"

Geng Lele sent a gossip emoji:
"Because Teacher Cuihua's English name is Lucy, and she is looking for a man named Robin in English, so I hired her based on the principle that watching the excitement is not a big deal."

Shen Jiayue was shocked.

WTF?

Can this happen too?
But thinking about the foreign teachers in Beijing, there are not many, and there are not many, so it is normal to meet Lucy.

While chatting, Lin Xu came out of the kitchen with some baked sweet potatoes, and Shen Jiayue grinned:

"Xubao, do you want to hear some good news?"

"What good news?"

Shen Jiayue took the sweet potato, peeled it and said:
"The speaking teacher Lele is looking for seems to be Lucy!"

Lin Xu suddenly had an idea in his heart:
"How about... invite Lucy to the wedding?"
