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

"Yueyue, is the roast duck my brother cooks delicious?"

Outside, Chen Yuanyuan put a piece of pig's trotter in a bowl and ate it with rice, looking at Shen Jiayue and asking.

When she returned to Yinzhou, she returned to the capital the next day, so she didn't taste the roast duck made by Lin Xu.

"It's delicious, it's super delicious, the taste and aroma are top-notch...Let's not talk about it, I can't help but drool when I talk about it."

Although Shen Jiayue has eaten the roast duck in the capital many times, in terms of taste, it is not as good as Lin Xu's.

This is not only due to the couple filter, but the most important thing is that the roast duck masters in the capital, who are of Lin Xu's level, have basically entered the management team.

Occasionally, one may be roasted for regular customers or people with status. Ordinary customers cannot eat ducks of this level, and can only enjoy the craftsmanship of ordinary masters.

Under such circumstances, Lin Xu's perfect cooking skills naturally appeared.

"Is it so exaggerated?"

Chen Yuanyuan heard what Shen Jiayue said, and immediately began to look forward to tomorrow's roast duck.

No matter how busy you are at noon tomorrow, you have to come to the store to taste the delicious roast duck made by my brother, and make up for the regret of not eating roast duck at home.

In the kitchen, Lin Xu, Ning Xiaoli and several newly recruited roast duck chefs were busy nervously.

Pulling the tongue, blowing air, digging out the anus, opening the mouth, taking out the internal organs... After a whole set of procedures, the white ducks can be regarded as preliminary cleaning.

After the abdominal cavity is cleaned, the skin is scalded with hot water to shape it.

Ning Xiaoli hung up the scalded duck and was about to check on the progress of others when he found that Lin Xu had already picked up the second duck.

what?
Actually ran ahead of me?

Ning Xiaoli was a little surprised, he never expected Lin Xu to be so skillful in handling ducks, and he actually ran ahead of him, an expert who has been making ducks since he was a child.

Didn't Wei Gan lie to me?
Lin Xu didn't have so many thoughts, he said to the cooks next to him:

"You follow the simple steps first, first pull out the duck's tongue, and clean up the unwashed duck feathers on the duck's body, and then proceed to other steps."

Everyone has a different foundation. Although they can clean up ducks, the speed is too slow, the efficiency is too low, and some steps are even prone to problems.

For example, taking out the internal organs, if the bitter gall is broken, there will be an indelible bitter taste in the abdominal cavity of the duck. This kind of duck can only be used to make spicy duck, relying on the spicy taste to suppress the bitter taste.

Lin Xu carried the duck and began to inflate it to clean up its internal organs.

This step cannot be done in an assembly line, because if you don’t clean up the internal organs quickly after inflating, the inflated gas will easily escape, and the appearance of the duck will not be good.

Wait until the internal organs are cleaned up, and the remaining steps of cleaning, scalding, hooking, drying blanks, and hanging sugar are not difficult, and can be handed over to the helper.

"Lin Xu, what to do with these internal organs?"

Ning Xiaoli quickly took out the internal organs from the small opening under the root of the duck's wing, and put it into a basin next to it.

There are duck liver, duck intestines, duck heart, duck gizzard, trachea, crop and other parts in it. Except for the crop, almost all other parts can be eaten.

If you make it yourself at home, you will definitely keep the duck offal for yourself, but there are more than 30 ducks, and there is almost a pot of duck offal, so it is more appropriate to sell it for money.

Lin Xu said:

"Sell something new in the store at night. If you can't finish it, it's better to increase your income."

Sell ​​it on the new one?

Is this still possible?
Ning Xiaoli has been in contact with either his own roast duck restaurant or Diaoyutai Building No. [-] since he was a child, and he has never experienced the experience of temporarily serving dishes when the business is super hot.

He asked curiously:

"Can this be sold?"

Lin Xu smiled:
"Okay, it's just a matter of minutes."

After speaking, he turned his face to the door and called Wei Gan's name.

Soon, the chief chef who was eating came in with a bowl:
"what happened?"

"Notify Shu Yun that pickled pepper duck intestines, stir-fried duck gizzards, brine duck liver, and salt-baked duck heart are available in the store for a limited time in the evening. The dishes are limited, first come, first served."

Originally, Lin Xu wanted to cook the heart of the duck, but it took too much effort, and if the heat was not enough to allow customers to eat the bloodshot heart, it would be easy to argue.

Bloodshot dishes are actually a sign of tenderness. Many traditional dishes require bloodshot dishes. For example, the classic Cantonese dish of white-cut chicken. Only the chicken with bloodshot eyes can taste smooth and tender.

In addition, dishes such as fried double crisp in Shandong cuisine and hot kidney in Sichuan cuisine have similar requirements. Only when they are tender enough can they be delicious enough to eat.

But now more and more restaurants no longer serve such bloodshot dishes.

The reason is that it is easy to be complained about and criticized for not being cooked well. If the customer has any problems with eating, he has to be responsible. In this case, he can only give up the taste.

Wei Gan estimated the amount of dishes that more than 30 ducks can cook:

"Two sets of duck intestines can make one dish, the duck intestines with pickled peppers can make eighteen servings, four duck gizzards can make one stir-fried dish, that's nine dishes, two duck livers can cut one plate, that's ten Eight dishes, the duck heart is small, so let's count it as three servings..."

He went out muttering, and within 5 minutes, he came in and reported to Lin Xu:
"It's all ordered, and many customers feel that the quantity is too small and not enough to eat, and ask when similar dishes will be served again."

Ning Xiaoli next to him once again saw the horror of Lin Ji's business.

There were more than 40 dishes just now, and they were all sold out.

If the average price of a dish is calculated at fifty, there is already a turnover of more than 2000.

Although for this kind of big restaurant, the turnover of 2000 yuan is negligible, but this is the result of casually announcing it to the customer group before the dinner starts.

Moreover, customers still dislike the small quantity. If there are more duck offals, they should not worry about selling them.

Thinking about the traditional roast duck restaurant, it is always difficult to deal with the duck offal, and looking at the popularity of Lin Kee, no wonder everyone is jealous of the business here, it is indeed good enough.

A set of duck intestines was taken out of the duck's stomach, and then taken away by the help kitchen staff, and put under the faucet for cleaning and knife modification.

Split the disposable chopsticks with a sharp blade in the middle, then wrap the split part tightly with thin iron wire, then pick up the duck intestines and put them on, and gently shake them to let the blades pierce the duck intestines.

After doing this, wash the duck intestines again, and then wash them with salt, flour, and starch in turn.

Wash and cut into four to five centimeters, and put them in a basket for later use.

No matter the washed duck intestines are stir-fried, marinated or hot pot, the texture and taste are excellent.

As for the duck gizzard, it is cut open first, and then the inner membrane is carefully torn off.

After cleaning, the duck gizzards are cut into thin slices, so that they mature faster during stir-frying and taste more robust.

Duck liver is the best way to deal with it. After washing it twice, put it into the stewed soup, simmer over a low heat, and wait for customers to order it before slicing it into plates, pouring the brine and serving it.

The ducks are all ready, hang a layer of maltose water, and then hang them in the prepared drying room.

Turn on the ventilation fan inside to let the air in the drying room flow and accelerate evaporation.

It's not too hot now, after May Day, when the temperature reaches over [-] degrees, they have to be put into the cold storage at night to avoid attracting flies.

"Master Ning, do you mind broadcasting the match tomorrow?"

After the end, when Lin Xu washed his hands, he looked at Ning Xiaoli and asked a question.

"Live broadcast? Yes, that's great. I just wanted to let the netizens who complained about the expensive roast duck see how exquisite the roast duck is. It's really wishful to be able to broadcast live."

Ning Xiaoli was afraid that tomorrow's referee would also be biased. It would be great if netizens could participate.

Moreover, it can also be used to promote roast duck and let more people accept roast duck, so why not do it.

Seeing that he agreed, Lin Xu felt relieved.

Wash your hands, and send a message to Master and Mistress, inviting them to taste the roast duck tomorrow, and by the way, tell brother Lao Dai and other chefs from Diaoyutai.

In fact, the chefs at Diaoyutai didn't need to be notified, they had already planned to swarm over to join in the fun.

Lao Dai even opened a handicap, betting on who would win between Lin Xu and Ning Xiaoli.

As a result, the [-] chefs all felt that Lin Xu would not lose, and even Ning Yiheng did not support his nephew, so they doubled their bets on Lin Xu to win.

Lao Dai shouted that these cooks don't read the recipes to read the art of war-it's not easy to fool around.

The evening business of Lin Kee Food is still booming. Customers who ordered duck intestines, duck gizzards, and duck livers even took pictures and posted them, which made many customers who missed it very jealous.

Taking advantage of the heat, Lin Xu made a live announcement:

"Tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning, I will live broadcast a competition about roast duck in the live broadcast room. I hope that friends who like to eat roast duck and want to know more about roast duck will not miss it."

As soon as the announcement was issued, netizens went into a frenzy:
"Damn it, Boss Lin finally extended his claws to the roast duck!"

"In the past, those old traditional shops in the capital used to comfort themselves with the fact that Boss Lin didn't know how to cook roast duck. Now it's better, and the superficial comfort is gone. Boss Lin is really bad."

"Haha, those old stores stand on their own laurels, they can only deceive outsiders, but they deceived themselves too."

"Lin Kee will most likely serve roast duck, I'm looking forward to it!"

"I'm really looking forward to it. I didn't get the duck intestines with pickled peppers tonight. Someone snatched two. I'm so pissed off!"

"I was the one who snatched two copies. There were a lot of people at the classmate dinner today. I was worried that one copy would not be enough. Why don't buddies come upstairs to the private room for a drink?"

"No need, I was just joking, buddies eat and drink well, I took my wife and daughter downstairs to eat sweet-skin duck, it tastes really good."

Netizens chatted in the comment area, clicked on the link by the way, and added a follow to the live broadcast room.

In a high-end residential area on the East Third Ring Road.

When Shi Wenqing saw the live announcement, he rushed to Luo Jiayao, who was carrying his daughter on the camping mat, and asked:

"Can't you spare time tomorrow morning? Yueyue said that the roast duck made by Xiaoxu is delicious. I have to eat at least a whole one tomorrow to make up for the regret that I haven't eaten roast duck recently."

Luo Jiayao originally wanted to stop, but when he heard his daughter giggling, he crawled up again:
"I can't go. Now is the critical period of filming. I have to be on duty so that no one can make irresponsible remarks... I will come over during lunch. You can eat whatever you want with your daughter, and don't worry about me."

After climbing a few more steps, he supported his daughter with one hand, turned over carefully and sat up, and threw a bell ball forward, and the daughter immediately crawled over.

Shi Wenqing came over and took a picture with his mobile phone. Just as he was about to post it to Moments, he saw Shu Yun also posted a short video of teasing Dundun with a bell ball.

This……

Shi Wenqing looked at Dundun in the video, and then at the girl crawling towards the bell ball. She felt that there was no difference between raising a child and raising a cat.

She squatted next to her daughter and teased her with a bell ball:
"I can see your little cousin tomorrow, I don't know if you still remember it..."

The little girl babbled and tugged at the bell ball, only thinking about playing, and couldn't listen to other words at all.

In the store, Lin Xu filled the dried fruit wood prepared in advance into the furnace, ignited it, and watched the fruit wood inside burn quietly.

Ning Xiaoli took some washed duck fat, that is, duck suet, put it into a small pot that can be hung up, and carefully sent it to the furnace with a hook to hang up.

As the firewood burned, the duck fat in the pot quickly sizzled.

The unique aroma of duck fat began to permeate the hearth.

After finishing the two ovens, Ning Xiaoli closed the oven door to let the firewood inside burn slowly, and at the same time let the aroma of duck fat permeate the hearth.

"Supposedly, the Stove King should be invited to worship the Vulcan God, but now there is no such ceremony."

Ning Xiaoli is very clear about these rules, after all, this is what the family does, so it is more professional.

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"It's fine if it's illusory, it's just a psychological effect, it doesn't matter whether you pray or not..."

Although he has a system, cheats, and an unexplainable cat, he is a very firm atheist.

If the store is not open, you can just pray once, but now it is open, if you worship God with great fanfare, isn't it engaging in feudal superstition activities?

Lin Xu resolutely refuses to hand a knife to a competitor.

He confessed to several new roast duck chefs:

"Don't worry about the firewood in the hearth after it's burned. Come here tomorrow morning to take out the duck fat, fill in some firewood, replace it with duck fat, and follow the steps just now."

In fact, this is to make the inner wall of the hearth stained with the smell of fruit wood and duck oil in advance, so that the roasted duck also has a faint fragrance.

Smoke it again tomorrow morning, basically this roast duck oven will do.

the next day.

Lin Xu got up early, and after washing, he went upstairs to look at the vegetables. After watering for the first two days, the growth was obviously vigorous, and the vines were even entangled on the shelves.

The construction on the roof has been completed. After the middle wall is removed, the area has doubled. It looks like a small playground, with turf in the middle, which makes people feel comfortable.

The decoration of Chen Yan's house has been completed, and it passed the inspection and acceptance yesterday. Today, the formaldehyde removal company will come to do the formaldehyde removal work, so as to minimize the possibility of harming health.

After looking around, Lin Xu locked the door and went downstairs to make breakfast.

Today's breakfast is very simple. After the noodles are cooked, take out the water, mix with the seasoned sesame paste and chili oil, and then add some fried capers, chopped green onions, diced radish and other ingredients, and it becomes a simple bowl. And hungry hot dry noodles.

When Shen Jiayue went downstairs, Lin Xu specially made poached eggs in rice wine.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

Seeing the poached eggs in rice wine, Shen Jiayue asked curiously:

"Will you be arrested for drunk driving if you drink this?"

"No, all the alcohol has been boiled out, there is only the smell of wine, but no smell of wine."

After breakfast, Lin Xu also fed Dundun some jerky.

The little guy ate a whole duck liver by himself last night, which made him not too hungry today. He played with the jerky with his paws, and he was obviously not too hungry.

"Don't eat, put it away, play with the food, I think you are very hungry."

Shen Jiayue rubbed Dundun's head, picked up the jerky it was playing with, then went upstairs to change clothes, ready to go to the store.

Today is going to be broadcast live, so I have to prepare early.

In addition, I have to take the opportunity to update a video of making jar meat, and post the link to the live broadcast room later, so as to make a small drainage for my account.

When I came to the store, I happened to meet Chen Yuanyuan and Zeng Xiaoqi having breakfast.

Today, I ate meat dragon in the store. The steamed meat dragon was cut into sections, and the softness was mixed with the fresh aroma of the meat filling. The taste was superb.

"Boss Lin, is the roast duck enough? I'll be back for lunch, can I catch up?"

Zeng Xiaoqi was afraid of missing the delicious food, so she inquired when she saw Lin Xu.

Lin Xu said:

"Don't worry, 36 are enough to eat."

One or two is really not enough to eat, but there are more than 30 roast ducks, each weighing about four catties, such a weight is definitely enough, and there is even one or two left over.

Hearing this, Zeng Xiaoqi felt relieved.

Lin Xu went to the drying room to look at the roast duck. The skin of the duck was completely dry. He remixed a small pot of maltose water and poured the duck with sugar water again.

Then hang it in the drying room again and continue to dry.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, everyone came to the store one after another. Uncle Gao looked at the ducks in the drying room, and then at the roast duck oven that had just been burned, and asked Lin Xu with a smile:
"Are you ready to hang up all the roast duck restaurants in the capital?"

Lin Xu smiled:
"I didn't think about slapping them, I just want to do business honestly, but if someone takes the initiative to vent their anger, I don't mind playing with them."

Don't cause trouble, and don't be afraid of trouble, this has always been Lin Xu's purpose.

Uncle Gao patted his apprentice on the shoulder:

"You are my Gao Peisheng's apprentice, no one dares to touch you... In fact, I wish those shops would pour dirty water on you, so that I have a reason to beat them. As the general chairman of the Chinese Cuisine Association, if you don't find some After doing things, I always feel that the prestige has not shaken."

Lin Xu: "..."

Have you read too many novels that pretend to slap your face?
There are quite a few of these businessmen, and they all know your identity. Who would dare to jump out and take the initiative to send results to the Culinary Association?
At this moment, Shi Wenqing walked into the shop with his daughter in his arms.

Luo Jiayao didn't have time to see her off, so his brother Shi Wenshan became the driver.

As soon as he walked into the store, he saw Dundun being held in Luo Shan's arms.

When the little guy saw his cousin coming, he quickly stretched out his paw and pointed it here, and asked Luo Shan to hold it to meet him.

"Girl, do you still remember your little cousin?"

Seeing Dundun's well-behaved appearance, Shi Wenqing found it amusing. It is obviously a cat, but his movements and expressions are very childlike.

"Meow~~~"

Dundun took the initiative to say hello to the little cousin. Luo Shan saw this little girl for the first time, took out a wad of money from her bag, put it in a red envelope, and put it in the little girl's arms:
"Hello little friend, this is a meeting gift for you."

Just as Shi Wenqing was about to give way, Dundun patted the red envelope with his paw and yelled twice. The little girl immediately hugged her hands tightly in her arms.

That naive look made Shi Wenqing happy to see:

"How did you become a money addict at such a young age?"

We chatted a few words and went upstairs together.

Although the roast duck competition has not started yet, all kinds of snacks and fruit plates are ready, and everyone can watch the competition while eating.

Not long after, Xie Baomin and the others also rushed over.

In order to attract the attention of netizens, the chefs of this group of Saobao wore chef uniforms embroidered with the national emblem, and directly filled the scene.

Looking at their outfits, Lin Xu asked dumbfoundedly:

"Are you here to cheer, or to spoil the scene?"

Xie Baomin said:
"I'm here to support you. Lin Kee has roasted duck, which is directly stabbed into the lungs of those traditional old shops. We have to show Diaoyutai's fists... By the way, Director Liao has an administrative meeting at ten o'clock. Let me give it to you." Just say it, and come as soon as the executive meeting is over, and that old boy still wants to give a speech in your live broadcast room... It's really Zhu Bajie who wears glasses and pretends to be a college student."

As soon as the words fell, Ye Lixin also brought Cheng Jianshe, Qi Zhentao and other people from Yanjing Hotel to come. The purpose is very simple, just to cheer.

Seeing these guests, Ning Xiaoli felt that Lin Ji's lineup was really big enough.

If you work here, it seems... It's pretty good!
