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

"Che Zai, add a few more pork knuckles tomorrow, I'm going to cook a new dish."

At the door of the store, after Chen Yuanyuan got off the car, Lin Xu remembered to make Su Zao elbow, picked up his mobile phone and sent a voice message to Che Zai, and then drove back.

I originally left the morning shift today to relax at home, but I didn't expect this to happen.

However, judging from Sister Yuanyuan's concern for Cai Sen, the two can still succeed.

In theory, the marriage arranged by Dundun would not be a problem. After all, the little guy is an artifact of fortune, and the God of Wealth is in charge of marriage. Isn't that very reasonable.

On the way home, Shen Jiayue said with a smile:

"Sister Yan has been asking what's going on in the group, and she even coaxed Sister Yuanyuan to talk about her journey. She completely forgot that she pretended to be the executive chef to fool her brother-in-law last year."

Lin Xu smiled:

"Everyone likes to watch other people's excitement, but they don't want their own excitement to be watched by others. It's normal."

Came to the basement of the community, parked the car, and the couple took the elevator upstairs.

After opening the door and returning home, Lin Xu thought that Dundun was watching TV in the living room, but after looking around, he didn't see its shadow, but the TV was on, and it was playing San Dezi and Fa Yin protecting Kangxi, pretending to be a prisoner, showing off his power.

This situation is very similar to what happened on Qianmen Street just now.

"Where's Dundun?"

"I don't know, there is none in the living room."

After Lin Xu changed into his slippers, he went upstairs along the stairs. He looked at the small room first, but there was no sign of the little guy, and he was going to the bedroom again.

Passing by the study room, he found that the door was ajar. He gently pushed it open, and found a round figure squatting in front of the computer, and a computer introductory science video was playing on the monitor.

This is……

Want to teach yourself computer?
Lin Xu knocked on the door and asked curiously:
"Dundun, what are you doing?"

Hearing the cry, the little guy turned his face away in a panic, and subconsciously pressed the boss button, his movements were swift, like those fishing fishers who secretly watch the young lady dance while going to work.

"Meow~~~~~~"

Seeing that it was Lin Xu, Dundun obviously relaxed a lot.

Lin Xu knew its origin, Dundun could lose a layer of camouflage, but this kind of scene must never be seen by Shen Jiayue, otherwise it would scare Mommy.

The little guy jumped off the computer desk, pretended to be nonchalant, walked to the door, and went downstairs to continue watching TV.

Lin Xu watched the scene speechlessly.

What should I do if my child suddenly becomes interested in computers?
Can't you find a computer teacher for it?
When he came downstairs, Dundun was already lying on the sofa and continued to watch TV. Shen Jiayue was sitting beside him with a small basket of potato chips, watching with Dundun while eating, completely unaware that the little guy just did something upstairs. What an amazing move.

The next morning, after Lin Xu got up, he boiled millet porridge in a casserole, and then went to the rooftop to exercise with Dundun and Shen Jiayue.

In the past, Dundun couldn't get up in the morning, and he liked to sleep late. Now that there is grass on the roof to play, he has become diligent. When Lin Xu followed Shen Jiayue's aerobics, the little guy kicked the little football by himself.

But the endurance of felines is generally not good, especially the fat cats such as British shorts. After running a few laps, the little ones climbed onto the outdoor sofa and began to rest.

After the aerobics was over, Yue Mo Xiaomi was almost done.

Lin Xu washed his hands and went back to the kitchen. He took two zucchini and grated them into shreds, then beat them with eggs, mixed them with flour, and started making paste.

It is not advisable to eat too greasy in the morning, but it must also maintain nutrition. The simple and nutritious delicacy of paste is very suitable for breakfast.

Not long after, the paste was ready, and the young couple began to have breakfast.

"Xu Bao, I just glanced at the big vat in the utility room. Is the tea-oiled duck marinated in it almost ready?"

"It's coming soon, we can eat it on May [-]st."

In fact, it can be eaten now, but since it is said to be fully marinated in four months, then wait a few more days. Anyway, May Day is getting closer, and it will not be too late to eat when parents come to the capital.

Lin Xu dipped the batter in the garlic juice and ate it in his mouth. The deliciousness of the zucchini and eggs combined with the spicy garlic juice made it very enjoyable to eat.

Shen Jiayue was eating delicious food, and remembered another Yanjing snack that she ate when she was a child:
"It's been a long time since I ate motofu, Xu Bao, can you make it?"

Motofu?
Lin Xu said:

"Yes, isn't it just the bean dregs left over from making mung bean vermicelli? Yinzhou also has them. I ate them when I was a child. Later, those who make vermicelli in my hometown prefer to use edible glue. Mung bean has less ingredients, so bean dregs are not common anymore."

Fenpi has always been the hardest hit area for the use of carrageenan. This type of glue can make the vermicelli solidify more thoroughly and stronger, and at the same time save the use of mung bean starch.

Therefore, Yinzhou, which was originally rich in mung bean vermicelli, now has fewer related industries.

The production of vermicelli is very interesting. In addition to grinding mung beans into paste and taking starch materials to make vermicelli, bean dregs can be used to make hemp tofu, and the filtered water will not be wasted. After a little fermentation, it will become old Beijing curd. Soybean juice is a classic drink loved by the whole generation but not loved by many young people.

However, Yinzhou’s hometown does not drink soy milk. It is usually fed to livestock or fertilized. Unlike the people in the capital, they boil it and drink it as a drink. It has even become an important tool to test the authentic Yanjing people.

Shen Jiayue did not expect that Yinzhou also has a tradition of eating mochi tofu:
"Wow, it's amazing. I thought only people in the capital would eat it."

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"Ma tofu is widely spread. Except for the capital city and Yinzhou, it is eaten in the Northeast, Inner Mongolia, the hinterland of the Central Plains and some parts of Shandong. It seems that it can be eaten in Muslim-inhabited areas in North China."

Chinese food includes traditional dishes and ethnic dishes.

Hui cuisine is an important branch of ethnic cuisine.

Motofu is a delicacy, although the main ingredient is mung bean dregs, but it is an authentic Halal dish. There are motofu or similar dishes in Halal banquets and residential areas.

For example, in the southwestern part of the Central Plains, there is a dish called Stir-fried Landou, and the practice of Landou is actually bean dregs mixed with dried green vegetables, and the soul of hemp tofu-sheep tail oil.

The delicacy of sesame tofu is made with lard, peanut, rapeseed oil and other oils, and the taste is average. Only sheep tail oil can make sesame tofu more delicious.

There is a saying that some beans in hemp tofu have a unique fishy smell, and the fishy smell is similar to fish.

At this time, if it is fried with sheep tail oil with a slight smell of mutton, the fishy smell and mutton smell form the source of the Chinese character "xian", which means fish and sheep are fresh.

So it will be very tasty to eat.

Of course, it is impossible to verify whether this statement is true or not, but the slightly fishy-smelling mochi tofu paired with the slightly stinky sheep tail oil tastes really unusual.

This may be the only meaty dish that the poor could eat back then.

Seeing that Shen Jiayue wanted to eat now, Lin Xu said:
"When I go to the store today, I'll ask Che Zai to buy a package of sesame tofu, and then fry it for you with sheep tail oil. It's not difficult at all, it's very simple."

It may take a bit of work to talk about other dishes, but I ate fried motofu when I was a child, even without the blessing of the system, Lin Xu can easily make it by himself.

When I came to the restaurant after dinner, Che Zai had already prepared the elbow.

Lin Xu handed his elbow to the cook:

"Singeing off the bone, flying it in hot water, and then letting it dry for me to make."

"Good boss."

The methods of Suzao elbow and red stewed elbow are very similar. They both burn the skin first, then remove the bone and modify it into a round shape. Finally, they also have cooking methods such as frying, simmering, and steaming.

But the difference is that the red stewed elbow only has the aroma of meat, not the aroma of medicinal ingredients.

As for the elbow made by Su, what he eats is the taste of that kind of medicine.

Having nothing to do, Lin Xu took a look at the situation in the roast duck department today. At this moment, everyone just went to work and was serving maltose water to the duck roasted at noon.

As for the ones baked in the afternoon, hang them in sugar water and put them in the cold storage to prevent the skin of the duck from drying out.

Although it is said that the new roast duck will be available only a week later, in fact, since yesterday, the store has tried to give high-end recharge customers an early adopter.

Always let the employees eat roast duck, if they eat too much, they will always get tired and panic.

But the employees in the roast duck department have to practice, so customers who recharge more are allowed to taste it first.

In this way, it can not only show the importance of high-end customers, but also obtain positive feedback, so as to avoid the situation of building cars behind closed doors.

On the Internet, customers who have tasted roast duck are full of praise, while those who have not tasted it are all kinds of envious.

After looking around, Shu Yun came over with a notebook, which was full of ordering information:
"Boss, Mr. Tan from the Audit Office has booked a box for lunch today, and ordered roast duck and your roast."

Ok?
Uncle Tan is resentful for not eating the roast duck?
Since the first live broadcast of roast duck, both relatives and friends in Yanjing have tasted the roast duck made by Lin Xu. Shen Jiayue’s grandfather Han Jitong didn’t feel satisfied after eating it, and even packed the leftovers away. Going to keep it for a late night snack.

But among all the people, only Tan Yajun, who was on a business trip in southern Yunnan, hadn't tasted it yet.

It seems that he just returned to the capital yesterday, unexpectedly, he booked a private room in the restaurant in a hurry today, and asked for roast duck by name.

Lin Xu has no opinion on this:
"Okay, there's nothing to do at noon, I'll roast a duck for him, and go to the private room to slice it myself."

Uncle Tan helped Lin Kee. When he was still a small store, he got the catering business from the Audit Office, and the entire audit office ordered lunch from here.

This kind of elder should naturally be treated with care.

After deciding to make roast duck, Lin Xu asked:

"Why is Uncle Tan treating you today?"

"I don't know. It seems that I had dinner with the leader of the Audit Office, and I specifically told him not to drink alcohol. I guess it was to discuss some business."

Lin Xu nodded and wrote it down.

Since you are having dinner with the leaders of the Audit Office, you should try to be as simple as possible to avoid the leaders' disgust.

It didn't take long for the cooks to clean up the elbows.

The round elbow looks very beautiful. Lin Xu spread a layer of honey on the skin, put it in a frying pan specially oiled for the elbow, and deep-fry until the skin turns slightly red.

Then he prepared a pot of broth, put scallions, ginger slices, rice wine, soy sauce, sugar, rock sugar into it, and boiled it on high heat. While the broth was boiling, he took a piece of gauze and put some commonly used traditional Chinese medicine in it .

For example, tangerine peel, dried dates, astragalus, codonopsis pilosula, licorice, amomum, safflower, cordyceps flower, cinnamon bark, and ginger. Dust, and then thrown into the stock for marinating.

It is the first time to make Suzao soup, and the medicinal ingredients must be doubled, so that the aroma of the medicinals can keep pace with the aroma of the meat, and the effect of the medicinal materials can be brought into play.

In fact, Su-made soup is the same as stewed soup. The older the better, and during the cooking, the medicinal materials must be added continuously to keep the fragrance of the medicinals consistent.

The soup needs to be boiled for a while to fully integrate the aroma of the medicine into the soup.

The elbow cooked in this way is more delicious.

About half an hour later, the scent of the medicine had become very strong, so Lin Xu put the oiled elbow in, and at the same time, turned down the heat to keep the Suzao soup in the pot slightly boiling, and began to simmer.

"It feels like following a Chinese medicine shop..."

Wei Gan sniffed, a little uncomfortable with the smell.

Xu Xinhua, who came upstairs to drop by, quite liked it:

"Boss, is this a new dish?"

Although the taste is weird, it looks like stewed meat. If so, it should be from our stewed products department, right?

Lin Xu said:

"This is Su's elbow, which is used to stew meat. It is not new in the store, but customers can order it."

Traditional dishes such as Suzao elbow are only liked by the older generation of Beijingers, so even if it is new, not many people eat it, and it is troublesome to make.

But in order to let the old neighbors eat it, Lin Xu made a sales strategy of "no new ones, only pre-orders".

If you want to make a reservation in advance, the store can also prepare it leisurely. At the same time, Su Zao Tang has the opportunity to cook it every day, so that the soup becomes old soup, and the old neighbors can also taste the delicious food, which is the best of both worlds.

Hearing this, Xu Xinhua was a little disappointed, but reservations are fine, he asked:

"So does this dish belong to the braised food department or upstairs?"

"Upstairs, I have to steam it later. It's too troublesome to do it downstairs, so it's more convenient upstairs."

Ever since the stewed products department opened a small window, Xu Xinhua's appetite has grown bigger and bigger, and he wished that even the roast duck could be brought to the stewed products department, and by the way, he changed its name to the roasted stewed department.

But he was just flirting with this matter. If the stewed food department and the roast duck department were really merged, he, the head chef, might become his deputy.

The elbow was simmered in the pot for an hour, and the medicinal fragrance was strong.

Lin Xu took out the elbows with a colander, and placed them on a large tray with the skin facing up.

Let it cool first, and then use a kitchen knife to cut a cross on the skin of the meat. The knife separates the skin, but the elbow meat below is still connected. This kind of knife is called Qianliandao.

After the knife is finished, take a large bowl and put the elbow skin down in it.

Put it away and use a spoon to scoop up the Suzao soup in the pot and pour it on the elbows, put the big sea bowl into the steamer, and start steaming.

The smell of medicine in Suzao soup is too strong, so cook the meat with the soup to let the meat absorb the aroma of the medicine. The next steaming is to let the medicine and meat mix together, so that the taste of the medicine Softer and easier to eat.

At the same time, the flower knife on the skin of the elbow can also allow the medicine to penetrate into the inside of the elbow.

While he was busy making elbows, at Deng Lisong's house, a beaming Cai Sen was thanking the military adviser:
"Damn, it's yours, dumb, the idea really worked out. When I get married with Yuanyuan later, I will definitely give you a whole fan of pork as a thank you gift."

It used to be said that once the matchmaking was established, the man would send pork to the matchmaker as a token of gratitude.

At first it was a piece of meat, then it was a whole pig's hind leg, and then it was half a pig, and there were more and more gifts in return.

Although Deng Lisong was not the matchmaker between Cai Sen and Chen Yuanyuan, after all, he came up with an idea and it was very successful, so Cai Sen immediately decided to give the highest specification in the matchmaker gift - a whole fan of pork.

Deng Lisong, who was carving the jade tripod, was very calm:
"What are you doing with that thing for me? It's just me and the nanny here. I can't finish eating a pig for half a year. Is this going to make me eat homemade zombie meat?"

Cai Sen laughed:
"Didn't I just say thank you?"

When the two were talking, George was looking inside the studio door. He really wanted to come in and play, but Dundun had warned him not to come in, so the little guy was very contradictory.

Cai Sen casually took the old newspaper used for jade ware next to him, tore off half of it, kneaded it vigorously into a ball, and wrapped the paper ball with large tape.

Soon a paper football was made.

He threw it hard outside, and the newspaper ball flew out quickly. George immediately caught up and started playing outside happily, forgetting about entering the studio.

After teasing the cat, Cai Sen said:
"Yuanyuan said that I did a good job in escorting yesterday, and asked me to go to Linji to eat Suzao elbow at noon. You can go with me, and it happens that George will play with Dundun for a while."

Deng Lisong, who is afraid of society, would not agree if he simply went to eat.

But if he asked George to play with Dundun, his old father had nothing to hesitate.

"Okay, then I'll tell Auntie that I won't cook for lunch, and go to Lin Kee for dinner together, and try the roast duck made by Boss Lin by the way."

He put down the carving knife, took his mobile phone and sent a message to his aunt, talking about going to Linji for lunch at noon, and explained:

"I'll transfer 10 yuan to you later. When you arrive at the store, you go to the front desk to get a card. They are open for business. You can't just eat and drink for free. You have to take care of Boss Lin's business."

"it is good!"

At eleven o'clock in the morning, Deng Lisong got into the Buick Century business car driven by Cai Sen with his nanny in his arms.

When she came to the store, Chen Yuanyuan had already arrived, and she was being pestered by Zeng Xiaoqi and Chen Yan to tell her about their relationship.

Chen Yuanyuan said loudly:
"I think it's good to be protected by someone, and it's warm in my heart. Unfortunately, I'm not a man. If I were a man, I would definitely pull him to beg him."

Chen Yan:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

I didn't understand it, but I was blown away.

It takes a man of steel to say such a thing?
But the feeling of being protected is really good. I remember that when Ren Jie and Ren Jie were catching the fugitives on the street stall, someone threatened Ren Jie with himself, and then that person tasted an elbow from the Sanda champion of the police academy.

While chatting, a few people caught a glimpse of Cai Sen walking into the store, and immediately started booing:
"Woohoo, the hot-blooded knight protecting the princess is here!"

Upstairs, Shen Jiayue, who heard the cheers, waved at Lin Xu:
"Xu Bao, Xu Bao, quickly bring out your elbow, Sister Yuanyuan's imperial guard is here, let him fix it with a big elbow..."
