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

"The host proposes a roast duck competition, which triggers a side mission [Grow momentum]: During the competition, the host is asked to use the media platform to get more than 10 likes and support. After completion, the reward will be a perfect Beijing dish—Su Zao."

Made by Su?
Lin Xu subconsciously thought of a delicacy that the elderly in the capital like - Su Zao Meat.

Before I went home last time, I ate it once at Laosuntou's house. The aroma of medicine and meat are very well combined, and it is said that it also has the effect of diet therapy and food tonic.

The source of Su-made meat has been unverifiable.

Some say it came from Suzhou, others said it came from an imperial chef named Su in the palace. Of course, Comrade Qianlong, the number one gourmet internet celebrity in the Qing Dynasty, has a deep connection with this dish as usual.

The so-called Su-flavored style refers to the cooking method that combines the concept of medicinal food with stewed meat. The meat produced has both medicinal and meaty aromas.

According to this cooking principle, in addition to Suzao meat, similar dishes include Suzao elbow, Suzao fat sausage, Suzao lamb leg and so on.

The famous snacks in Beijing are stewed and boiled, which is actually a kind made in Suzhou.

In the past, poor people couldn't afford meat, so they could only eat some offal to satisfy their cravings, but the offal smelled strong, so they added some medicinal ingredients according to Su's method of making meat, which can not only suppress the smell of meat, but also increase the aroma.

Lin Xu just wanted to convince Ning Xiaoli, but he didn't expect to be able to trigger side missions, and the mission requirements were so simple.

Although it sounds like 10 people are a lot, it’s just a live broadcast, so it’s not difficult.

In the next two days, Shen Jiayue took Dundun to the Ginkgo Garden, met the little friend, and went to see George and Peggy, just like returning from a long trip to visit relatives.

Lin Xu, on the other hand, wandered around the Yanjing Hotel twice, each time deliberately finishing his lunch before going back.

In the past two days, Ning Xiaoli has been coming to Linji Gourmet. He didn't mention the competition, but he never said anything about Lin Xu being cheated.

"Xu Bao, I discovered a secret..."

After watching George and Peggy with Dundun, Shen Jiayue found Lin Xu mysteriously, with an expression of discovering a big secret.

This made Lin Xu curious:

"What secret?"

"Miki actually dyed his hair, and even changed his mohawk hairstyle to an inch cut."

Lin Xu: "..."

What kind of secret is this?
As a beauty salon lover, isn't it normal for people to change their hairstyles?

I remember that when I first met Cai Sen, he still had the standard forgiveness green hair. He dyed the red later. Now that he changed his hairstyle, he might be tired of red.

It's a pity, though, that his hoopoe-like hair was shaved off.

This means that there is one less maverick in the circle.

Shen Jiayue lowered her voice and whispered:
"Of course it's not a secret to dye your hair, but he said that sister Yuanyuan didn't like it, so he changed it."

Lin Xu:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
What's happening here?
Fans who keep saying they adore me actually want to be my brother-in-law?
He asked curiously:

"Did you ask Cai Sen?"

"I asked. I asked why you dyed your hair and cut it into a cropped cut. He said Mr. Chen didn't like it. I asked which Mr. Chen it was, and he said Mr. Chen who was self-improving..."

hiss! ! ! ! !
It's true!
Reminiscent of the day when my second aunt nagged Sister Yuanyuan for not looking for a partner, which made her feel a little bit embarrassed in front of the ladies of the town, and was even ridiculed.

At that time, I was thinking of asking Dundun to help my aunt solve this problem, but I didn't expect to have a clue now.

But the way Sister Yuanyuan came to eat these two days, it doesn't look like she's in a relationship.

Those who are in love have obvious characteristics. From time to time, they take out their mobile phones to look at them, occasionally smirk, look in the mirror ten times more often than before, and occasionally frown, as if worrying about gains and losses.

But Sister Yuanyuan didn't behave like this at all, her mind was full of career, sometimes she was eating, and suddenly she took out her mobile phone, clicked on the map, and began to look for the location of the new store.

The work plan to open eight branches in the first half of the year has been completed, and after the noise in Zhongguancun has stopped, the business of the sixteen stores is booming.

So new expansion plans are imminent.

Chen Yuanyuan plans to open 32 more branches in the second half of the year, bringing the number of stores to [-]. At the same time, she will go out of Haidian and open branches in Xicheng, Dongcheng, and Chaoyang, which is the most popular place.

This state doesn't look like being in love.

Lin Xu scratched his head and said curiously:
"Could it be that Cai Sen hasn't started chasing him yet? Or is he working hard?"

The young couple was curious, and Chen Yuanyuan came back from get off work for dinner.

"What are you eating today? I'm starving to death. I went around the west city, but I couldn't find a place suitable for opening a branch. The transfer prices of the shops are super high. I'm really convinced."

Chen Yuanyuan muttered, and picked up the candied chestnuts on the table and ate them.

Lin Xu said:

"Today I ate braised soybeans with pig's trotters. The weather has been dry recently. Everyone said that the skin has deteriorated. Eat some food containing collagen to make up for it."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Miss Yuanyuan and asked in a low voice:
"Sister, you and Cai Sen..."

Originally, Lin Xu was just looking for a reason to chat. If the two of them really wanted to do something, they should react when they heard the word Cai Sen.

But after he hinted this way, Chen Yuanyuan didn't respond, but instead showed the same puzzled expression:
"I just remembered when you said Cai Sen. After he fought last time, didn't he invite him to the store for a meal? Now he insisted on inviting me back on the weekend, and he didn't care at first, but when he saw the place where he invited me back The per capita consumption is more than 7000...brother, do you think he wants to show off his wealth in front of me, or does he want to show off his majesty as a child of the Eight Banners?"

Lin Xu:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

My dear sister, no wonder you have been single for so many years.

It is estimated that Yuelao welded a cage with steel bars and you can earn it out.

Shen Jiayue thought for a while and asked:

"Sister Yuanyuan, what do you think of Cai Sen?"

"It's not bad, he looks so-so, although he is not as handsome as my brother, but he is quite tall, and he doesn't have the stinky problem that people in the capital look down on outsiders, that's his hair... I told him about him last time at dinner, It's like a fan, dyed red, like a shoe polish brush..."

A fan is a common name for a hoopoe, and the hairstyle is indeed very similar to Cai Sen's before.

Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue looked at each other, and finally understood why Cai Sen suddenly cut his hair and dyed it black again. It turned out that he was criticized by his cousin.

After Chen Yuanyuan finished speaking, she opened the APP of Lianjia.com, set up the two districts of East and West City, and began to choose the place to open the store.

The shops in the second ring road are in short supply, and it can even be said that every inch of land is very expensive. Chen Yuanyuan plans to quickly find a place, and then open a self-improving flagship image store.

The store needs to change the style of the small door face of four or five square meters, and change it to the fast food style of McDonald's and KFC, but it is relatively high-end.

According to Chen Yuanyuan's vision, it is similar to the style of a high-end milk tea shop, which not only looks tasteful, but also allows customers to sit down and enjoy the food.

According to the return on investment ratio of the store, the return rate of the store with a large area cannot reach the average.

But in order to promote Ziqiang Shengjian and let customers know about Ziqiang Shengjian, this kind of store is very necessary.

Especially in the second ring road, people from all over the world will hang out here. Opening an image store can well display Ziqiang Shengjian, which is very beneficial for later expansion.

Lin Xu saw that her cousin didn't think about the relationship between men and women at all, and now her mind is full of career and making money, so she didn't say anything more.

Everything has to be done according to my cousin's wishes, she can have a relationship if she wants, and if she doesn't want to, no one can force her.

At this moment, Wei Gan came out of the kitchen with a large pot of braised soybeans with pig's trotters, and said to everyone:
"Dinner is ready...Lao Ning, stop squatting in front of the oven as a cos coal furnace worker, wash your hands and eat quickly."

Today's dishes are relatively simple. In addition to the collagen-supplemented braised soybeans for the ladies, there are water spinach fried with red fermented bean curd and corn ribs soup.

Two dishes and one soup, simple but not simple.

Shen Jiayue began to take the initiative to serve rice, and Chen Yuanyuan also put away her mobile phone, planning to think about the image store after eating, this kind of thing is not urgent, you can take your time.

Seeing the red fermented bean curd fried water spinach on the table, Chen Yuanyuan was a little curious:

"Can spinach be fried like this?"

I used to eat stir-fried shrimp paste, which is rich in flavor. I didn’t expect to use red fermented bean curd to stir-fry, but the taste is still very attractive, and people can’t help but want to try it.

Lin Xu said:

"Both fermented bean curd and shrimp paste are commonly used ingredients for stir-fried vegetables in the south. Apart from these two, they also like to cook with fermented and pickled dishes such as salted fish, tempeh, and fish sauce."

The fermented sauce and condiments are shelf-stable, and can maximize the freshness of vegetables after cooking, so they are suitable for stir-frying vegetables.

Lin Xu held Shen Jiayue Sheng's rice, picked up a piece of pig's trotter and tasted it.

The pig's trotters are stewed until soft, and the mouth is full of gelatin. When you suck it lightly, the skin of the meat will fall off the bone, mixed with the salty smell, which instantly opens up people's appetite.

Lin Xu doesn't know if the pig's trotters can supplement collagen, but the appetizing level is really undeniable.

And this dish is not only delicious, but the braised soybeans in it are soft and rotten, which is very delicious.

While eating, Wei Qian suddenly asked:
"Lin Xu, I think you made jar meat in your hometown. How did you make this stuff?"

Pork meat?
This is simple.

Lin Xu took a mouthful of rice and said:
"Clean the pork belly and cut it into large pieces, salt it for a day and a night, then clean it again, boil a pot of lard with pork suet, put the pork belly in it and fry it until the surface is golden, put the meat piece and the pig in the pot Pour the oil together into a jar without raw water, keep it sealed, and take it out whenever you want to eat.”

On the old lady's birthday, I made it in my hometown, but because the time was too short, I didn't catch up with it. When I came, it was too troublesome to go through the security check, so I didn't bring it.

Now that Wei Gan asked about this, Lin Xu remembered that Shen Jiayue had taken the video material at that time, and said to her:

"You can edit and update the video later, and let netizens who have a lot of meat at home learn how to make Hanyuan jar meat."

"Oh, yes!"

Ning Xiaoli at the side originally didn't want to talk about this topic, after all, the noble roast duck is worth discussing.

But he imagined a large piece of meat wrapped in lard, and felt so greasy, so he couldn't help asking:

"There are so many pieces of meat wrapped in lard, will it be greasy when you eat it?"

Wei Gan said with a smile:

"Welcome to the desert of knowledge... You are wrong. It is not greasy, but the taste will be better. For example, if you compare unsoaked pork to twenty or thirty roast ducks on the roadside, the lard soaked The pork that has been cooked is like a 399 piece of roast duck in a high-end restaurant.”

As a person who grew up eating pork, Wei Qian has a lot to say about pork.

The reason why he asked Lin Xu just now was that he wanted to know whether to put spices or not in the middle, so that he would make some for his family to eat next time he came home.

Upon hearing this metaphor, Ning Xiaoli asked curiously:
"Can it really improve so much?"

Lin Xu nodded:

"Yes, when the pork is marinated, part of the moisture in the pork has been killed by the salt, and then fried in lard, the moisture will be less, so that when soaked in lard, the fat will penetrate into the pork, and the taste will naturally be moist Much plumper."

This is the same as making roast duck. Why do you have to use stuffed duck for delicious roast duck instead of teal duck or duck with more lean meat? The main reason is that stuffed duck has more fat and the roasted duck meat is more flavorful.

On the other side, Deng Lisong's house.

Cai Sen, whose hair had returned to normal, was sitting at the dining table, eating meals cooked by the nanny.

When the nanny was out, he looked at Deng Lisong and asked in a low voice:
"Brother, let me ask you something. A friend of mine suddenly fell in love with a girl. You said..."

As he was talking, he found that Deng Lisong was looking at himself with examining eyes, as if he wanted to see through his heart.

"I just have autism, and my intelligence is fine. You were almost detained for fighting a few days ago, because of Chen Yuanyuan?"

Cai Sen opened his mouth, feeling as if his secret had been seen through.

But now, he urgently needs the advice of a military adviser, so he didn't hide it:
"Although I knew Mr. Chen during the fight, I didn't chat a few words at all, and I couldn't say whether I liked it or not. But after the fight, she not only went to the police station to pick me up, but also specially invited me to a big meal, very similar to those work In addition to cleaning up the mess for her husband, a strong woman, I fell for it all at once."

Deng Lisong put a piece of pork belly into his mouth:

"So... you just want to find a strong woman to eat softly?"

Cai Sen: "..."

What kind of understanding do you have?
I earn millions of dollars a year from taking pictures, you talk to me about it... But think about it, I really want to be with Mr. Chen, the family no longer rushes to find a partner, and Mr. Chen also has his own business, so I can concentrate on it Created with a camera.

From this point of view, it is really a bit suspected of eating soft rice.

Cai Sen coughed lightly:
"I just want to ask you, based on my conditions, can I be worthy of Mr. Chen?"

Deng Lisong felt that although this dog hadn't said a word to Chen Yuanyuan, his love brain had already reached the standard of the third stage of tumor.

You are from Tianlong, there are so many suites in the capital, and your family has such a strong background, you are still worried about such things.

Are the Eight Banners now so unconfident?

But thinking about it, Cai Sen is a staunch opponent of the Eight Banners, and it's normal to feel inferior. After all, those Eight Banners children are more conceited than one another. Those who don't know think that New China was established by their parents and elders.

Deng Lisong, a single dog, thought for a moment and said seriously:
"You can get in touch slowly first, the whole little surprise or something, have a meal and watch a movie on the weekend, and talk about the troubles at work. If she has any worries, you can help solve it. The relationship will be closer."

Single people know how to fall in love, and Deng Lisong is no exception.

Cai Sen said with some distress:
"But I invited her to dinner, and she hasn't agreed until now, which makes me very nervous..."

Deng Lisong asked:
"For what reason?"

"Didn't she treat me to dinner on the day of the fight? It's normal for me to treat you back."

"Where are you going to eat? How much is the standard?"

"A store with an average of [-] yuan per person is said to be very suitable for dating..."

Before Cai Sen finished speaking, Deng Lisong said:
"It's too expensive. You make it look like someone else's kidney. Anyone will hesitate...Ziqiang Shengjian is for snacks. You can invite her to eat some popular snacks, and do the market with her by the way." Research, isn’t this the best of both worlds?”

"Hiss... Really, I rely on you not to fall in love secretly, right? How do you know so much?"

"I'm too lazy to give you advice if I want to fall in love. I'm not in a hurry. Besides, it's my credit for the success of the matter. It's because you didn't execute well when it failed. I will take a share of the favor."

Cai Sen: "..."

Brother, you don't have to be so blunt.

Now the nanny returned to the restaurant, Deng Lisong made a short suggestion:
"Didn't the proprietress just say before she left that the shop would be cooking roast duck tomorrow? Tomorrow you go there early with your camera, take more photos, and help them do publicity. You can be regarded as actively participating in their family's affairs. , so we can get in touch again... don't wear sportswear tomorrow, dress more formally, but don't be too formal, don't steal Boss Lin's limelight."

Cai Sen felt that this brother was a little overwhelmed.

As far as Boss Lin's appearance is concerned, even if I wear a costume of an armored warrior or an Ultraman tomorrow, I won't be able to steal his limelight at all.

On the other side, in the store.

At the end of dinner, Lao Huang drove over two baskets of crammed ducks that had just been bled and plucked.

These ducks will be used for roast duck tomorrow, and the reason why they are delivered now is to prepare them in advance and let them dry in advance, so that it will be easy to cook roast ducks live tomorrow.

"Brother, there are 36 ducks in two baskets. I brought them to you just after shedding their feathers. They are still warm."

The slaughter of poultry is prohibited within the urban area of ​​Beijing, so they must be bled before being sent in.

After slaughtering on the farm, the duck feathers will be removed directly. These feathers are the raw materials for making high-end down jackets and are part of the farm's profits.

When Lin Xu saw that the duck was delivered, he immediately cleaned the rice in the bowl and said:

"Thank you, Boss Huang, I'll clean up now."

Although Ning Xiaoli didn't speak, he hurriedly finished the rice in the bowl. These ducks need to be dealt with quickly, the longer they stop, the stronger the smell of organs will be.

In addition, it is also a good time to see if Boss Lin really knows how to cook roast duck.

In addition to the kung fu of roasting duck, another point is to clean up. A master who can clean up ducks may not be able to cook roast ducks, but a master who can cook roast ducks is definitely an expert in cleaning ducks.

Just like that, the two went directly to the kitchen and began to pack the stuffed duck...
