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

Chapter 827 Father and son's first heart-to-heart talk!Another Beijing dessert dish - plum blossom lotus root! 【Subscribe】

"Do you want to open the S-level gift bag?"

The prompt sound of the system brought Lin Xu back to his senses, since there is already a gift bag, let's open it and see what good things my precious son got.

"Open!"

After muttering silently in my heart, a cartoon package marked with the word S in the item bar was automatically opened.

A burst of golden light flashed, and the system's notification sounded again:

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the perfect urban local cuisine——Beijing Cuisine!"

Damn, this is really concise... When I redeemed the S-level gift pack last time, the system gave several perfect-level dishes, as well as techniques, cards and so on.

I didn't expect that this time it was actually a local cuisine, and it was Beijing cuisine where the capital is located.

Although the reputation of Beijing cuisine on the Internet is not very good, there are no roads in the streets of Beijing, all are authentic, and there are all kinds of heavy flavors, but after all, it is the capital, and there are still some high-end dishes.

For example, the roast duck that serves as the face and business card of Beijing cuisine, as well as jelly-duck in clear soup, shredded chicken jelly-vegetables, braised shark's fin, crab roe shark's fin, pearl abalone, oolong spit beads, emerald skirt, chrysanthemum mutton, eight immortals duck, imperial concubine chicken, and ingot meat Braised lotus seeds with diced duck, grilled sea cucumber with shrimp roe and a series of high-end dishes.

After all, it was the capital of the two dynasties, and now it is the capital, so there is no shortage of high-end dishes.

"Wow, delicious!"

Shen Jiayue held up her chopsticks and tasted a cucumber stick. It was sweet and sour, with the unique fragrance of cantaloupe, exactly the same as eating cantaloupe.

Lin Xu rubbed Dundun's head twice, and also tasted it with a cantaloupe between his hands.

Because it has been refrigerated, it is the same as iced cantaloupe, and the taste and taste of the three strips are different, so it is very comfortable and delicious to eat.

Shen Jiayue ate happily:

"It tastes good, and the recipe is simple. Tomorrow, I'm going to give my parents Yan Bao a taste. By the way, Xu Bao, is there any other dishes that are easier to make? Teach me something together."

Other dishes?

Lin Xu is currently reading a lot of experience in Beijing cuisine. He suddenly read a dessert dish that is suitable for people like Shen Jiayue who are not strong in hands-on skills, so he said:
"You can make plum blossom lotus root, this is very simple, wash the whole lotus root, put it in a pot and boil it until it is broken, then peel the lotus root, then grind the hawthorn cake into mud, pour it in through the eye of the lotus root , fill it up, cut it into thin slices, and then top it with sweet-scented osmanthus, and then you can serve it on the table. The method is very simple, but it is very high-end, you can try it.”

Shen Jiayue was really interested. After listening to the practice, she couldn't help asking:

"The sweet-scented osmanthus honey is used, why is it called plum blossom lotus root?"

"Because the boiled lotus root is white, and the haw jelly is red. After being poured into the eyes of the lotus root, it looks red and bright, just like plum blossoms on the snow. That's why it got this name."

Shen Jiayue reacted quickly:
"Then boil it first and then peel it, just to keep the lotus root white?"

"Yes, the starch inside is not easy to oxidize when cooked through the outer skin, so the white color can be maintained. If the skin is removed, there is a high probability that it will be off-white after cooking."

Shen Jiayue looked at the haw jelly on the plate, planning to try it tomorrow.

Anyway, the method is quite simple, and even if the car overturns, you can call Xu Bao to save the scene.

After Shen Jiayue finished eating the cantaloupe, she took the tableware and went to the kitchen to tidy up. Lin Xu took the opportunity to scratch Dundun's chin and asked in a low voice:
"Can you control the system?"

Dundun hesitated for a moment, and nodded his head lightly.

After getting an affirmative answer, Lin Xu was very happy, because finally he no longer had to be led by the nose by the system.

Although it is nice to have a plug-in, no one wants to be a puppet of the system.

Lin Xu said again:
"I'm very happy that you can control the system, but I don't know if there will be any price for you to reward yourself so privately. If so, then don't reward in the future. I am very satisfied with my life now. I never thought of becoming the richest man, nor I didn't intend to become an entertainment celebrity, but I am thankful to be an ordinary rich man..."

He paused and continued:

"The meaning of family is not how rich the material conditions are, but that the family can stay together without enduring the pain of separation or the gossip of the parents, and then live a smooth and smooth life to old age. This is for me. It is the greatest happiness."

Dundun listened in a daze, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then he stretched out his paws and gently patted Lin Xu's palm together.

"What are you two talking about?"

Shen Jiayue didn't even wipe her hands clean, so she went back to the living room, and when she sat on the sofa, she pretended to rub her wrists, as if she was tired.

Lin Xu handed her a tissue and said with a smile:

"I'm asking Dundun if there is anything he wants to eat. If so, I'll take the time to make something for him. It's the day when we meet soon, so I have to make something delicious to commemorate it."

A year ago, Lin Xu took the fish bones and bones and some minced meat left over from Xie Baomin's soup to feed the stray cats in the community. When he met Dundun, the little guy didn't behave like a stray animal at that time. It is clean, not messy or dirty at all, it looks like you are on vacation in the garden of the community.

Time flies so fast, it's been a year in a blink of an eye.

Shen Jiayue wiped off the water droplets on her hands, opened her arms and hugged Dundun in her arms:
"My son has been home for a whole year, and I have to celebrate it. Let me tell you what you want to eat, and Mommy will buy it for you."

Lin Xu: "..."

Not so bad, besides, Dundun can't speak.

When you come up and let people talk, what is the difference from letting everyone speak freely after everyone is silenced?
At this moment, the TV continued to play. When Dundun saw the steak on the screen, he raised his paw and pointed. Shen Jiayue picked up the phone and sent Lao Huang a message:
"Boss Huang, I want to buy some of the best beef, can you get Matsusaka Wagyu?"

Since my son wants to eat, what are you waiting for, place an order to buy.

Lao Huang replied quickly:
"No problem, the highest quality Wagyu is available...Why do you want Wagyu all of a sudden? Have Brother Lin created any new dishes?"

"No, it's the first anniversary of Dundun coming to my house, and I plan to make something delicious for him to celebrate."

"All right, all right, I'll find someone to arrange it right away, and I will definitely not delay the celebration for the little one."

As soon as he heard that Dundun wanted to eat, Lao Huang immediately became full of energy.

After Deng Lisong finished carving sculptures for Dundun, he used the remaining jade to carve some small pieces of Dundun statues. Lin Xu took them and gave them to relatives and friends. Lao Huang also divided them into two, and kept the big one at home. , the small one hung on the car.

Then he found that driving was much smoother. Although there were occasional traffic jams, he could basically avoid them in advance by making U-turns and detours. It was rare for him to be stuck on the road for an hour or two without moving his nest.

As a businessman who believes in metaphysics, although he doesn't know the reason for this, he knows not to offend Dundun, otherwise this mysterious state may be broken.

So he was very kind to Dundun, for fear that such good luck would suddenly disappear.

Now I heard that Dundun is going to celebrate the first anniversary of joining the Lin family, so we, Huang, naturally have to help out.

After Shen Jiayue sent the message, she rubbed Dundun's head with her hand and said:

"Baby, I'll have the top steak soon, and I'll let you enjoy it once!"

Dundun let out a soft cry, rubbed his head against Shen Jiayue, and continued watching TV.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Lin Xu steamed an eel for the little guy as a supper, and when he was full, he went upstairs to wash up and prepare for an early rest.

The next morning, when Lin Xu was busy in the store, he received a call from Dou Wenjing:
"The factory has been rented and signed a five-year contract. If it expands in the future, it will be moved out. This factory is reserved for Ziqiang Shengjian as a warehouse."

The dim sum factory is quite small, but it is more than enough to install the equipment that Lin Xu ordered.

Lin Xu said to Dou Wenjing:

"Then let's find someone to clean it up first. If the line needs to be rebuilt, it should be rebuilt, and if it needs to be replaced, it should be replaced with a new one. In this kind of place, the electricity consumption is relatively large, and the line is prone to safety hazards. It needs to be thoroughly checked."

"Okay boss, I'll arrange someone to do it right away. By the way, Joy Media has sent a notice to film the first banquet of the last issue of the founding of the country this weekend, and hold a finale banquet by the way."

Is the last state banquet filmed this weekend?
Lin Xu promised:
"Okay, I see. I just happen to be filming the wrap-up banquet of the documentary."

Although the update frequency of long videos is not high, the number of views is very hot, so we should shoot as many as possible in the future, at least twice a month, otherwise I will be sorry for those fans who voted for coins.

After hanging up the phone, he came to the small kitchen and saw Shen Jiayue picking lotus roots out of the pot:

"Is this cooked?"

"It's cooked, you can see through it with a chopstick, and it's even a bit cooked...Xu Bao, what should I do if the hawthorn puree is not easy to stuff in it? Do you have any tricks?"

Lin Xu originally wanted to say that a large and thick needle can be used, but after thinking about it, it seemed awkward and not easy to operate, so he said:
"You can add some honey to the hawthorn jelly, which will be smoother and a little thinner. Use a spoon to rub it into the hole of the lotus root. If you can't get it in, grab the lotus root and knock it a few times to let the hawthorn jelly inside sink and release the air. , that's all right... you play with the lotus root, and I'll make hawthorn puree for you."

After finishing speaking, he brought over the hawthorn cake that Shen Jiayue had pureed with a cooking machine, tasted it first, then put two teaspoons of soft white sugar in it, and then brought over honey and poured some in it.

Stir well with a spoon, so that the hawthorn puree becomes slightly thinner, but not too thin. If the hawthorn cake does not solidify after the lotus root is cooled, it will drip everywhere when eating, and the plum blossom lotus root will be overturned.

Shen Jiayue asked curiously:

"Xu Bao, how about changing hawthorn puree into blueberry jam?"

"It's okay. In addition to hawthorn cake, you can also smear plum sauce, blueberry sauce, purple potato puree, banana puree, etc. Anyway, this kind of ointment-like ingredients can be applied."

Soon, Shen Jiayue peeled off the skin of the lotus root with a paring knife. Bai Shengsheng's lotus root looked delicious.

Use a knife to cut off one end of the lotus root, exposing the hole inside.

Then cut off the other end, but not too big, just a flat end, so that it is easy to place the lotus root vertically on the chopping board.

After handling it properly, Shen Jiayue supported the lotus root with one hand, and took a flat-tipped spoon with the other, scooped a spoonful of hawthorn cake paste, carefully applied it to the mouth of the lotus root, and then sipped it with the tip of the spoon, and the red paste entered the hole of the lotus root middle.

"Wow, I feel so relieved."

Shen Jiayue thought it would be difficult, but she didn't expect that not only was it not difficult, but it was actually quite fun.

When I couldn't squeeze it in, I held the lotus root with both hands and tapped it lightly a few times, and the holes that were originally filled were exposed again.

And when it can't be knocked, poke it in with chopsticks to squeeze out as much air as possible.

After filling it completely, cover both ends with plastic wrap, put it in the refrigerator freezer, and cool it down to let the muddy hawthorn cake re-solidify.

At noon, Lin Xu drove the car and took Shen Jiayue and Dundun to the South Third Ring Road.

Turning the car into the alley, I saw Shen Guofu's black and white Misa Rui from a long distance away. It was shining brightly in the sun, and it was not cheap to look at.

The car was pulled over and parked. Just as the family of three got out of the car, Chen Yan and Ren Jie, who had finally had a rest, also came.

"Call everyone over at noon, what are you cooking delicious?"

Chen Yan was looking forward to it, but also a little curious. Why did my cousin learn to cook so quickly? If things go on like this, she might really be able to become a professional chef in the future.

Shen Jiayue held the plum blossom lotus root in her hand and said:

"Haha, you will know later, I guarantee you will want to eat after eating."

Lin Xu took out a foam box from the trunk, which contained all kinds of lo mei and dishes packed from the store.

As soon as the group entered the courtyard, they saw Shen Guofu busy cleaning the courtyard. Under the shade of the trees, the dining table had been set, and Han Shuzhen was sitting at the dining table to measure the blood pressure of old lady Shen.

"The high pressure is 117, and the low pressure is 82. It's quite normal. It's better than Guofu's blood pressure."

Han Shuzhen praised her mother-in-law, turned her face to look at Shen Jiayue and asked:
"What delicious food did you cook? You actually called everyone over. Your aunt and uncle almost came back from other places."

Shen Jiayue took out a sealed box from the bag and put it on the dining table:
"Haha, just open it and take a look, it's definitely beyond your imagination."

Han Shuzhen put away the blood pressure monitor, raised her hand to open the lid of the packed lunch box, and a strong smell of melon came out from inside. Chen Yan was a little curious:
"You just cut a melon fruit plate together?"

But when she saw the situation inside, she became curious:
"Why is the melon the color?"

Mrs. Shen laughed as soon as she smelled it:

"Has my granddaughter learned how to make cantaloupe? The smell is really... You couldn't afford cantaloupe when you were young, so I made this for you every time you got hungry. I didn't expect to remember..."

Hearing the name Saixianggua, Lao Shen didn't sweep the floor, and leaned over to smell the smell, his face was full of memories:
"It tastes good, isn't it mixed with melon essence?"

Now some restaurants also have cantaloupe, but they are all mixed with cantaloupe powder. The taste is indeed like cantaloupe, but it lacks the essence of cantaloupe.

"Dad, don't you look down on my cooking too much?"

Shen Jiayue took out a disposable fruit fork from the bag, tore open the package and handed it to the old lady:
"Grandma, try it and see if my craftsmanship has reached your level."

"Okay, okay, let me try, my granddaughter's craftsmanship is absolutely good."

The old lady tasted it, and her eyes were full of surprises:

"Don't say it, it's really delicious, Shuzhen, Xiaoyan, you all try it, our Yueyue's craftsmanship is really getting better and better."

Everyone picked up the fruit forks one after another, and after tasting it, they all felt delicious.

And this box has been kept in an ice pack, and it feels refreshing and cool in the mouth after eating, as if eating iced cantaloupe.

Chen Yan is interested:

"Yueyue, how did you do this?"

"It's so simple, do you want to learn? If you want to learn, I will teach you. Anyway, you don't need to touch the pot, and you don't need to smell the oily smoke."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan became more motivated and asked Shen Jiayue to do one on the spot.

"I don't have much time now. I have another dish. Wait a minute. Let you try the second dish I made today."

Shen Jiayue came to the kitchen with the bag, and took out the plum blossom lotus root that had been completely cooled inside.

Remove the plastic wrap at both ends, and then follow Lin Xu's instructions, slice the lotus root as thinly as possible.

If the lotus root is raw, this step is quite difficult, because the lotus root has a high starch content, and it is a bit blunt when cutting, but the cooked lotus root is much easier to cut.

The cut lotus root slices are white, and the hole in the middle is red haw jelly, which looks high-end and beautiful, and even has the artistic conception of plum blossoms blooming in the snow.

Cut them all up, put them on a plate, and then drizzle with candied osmanthus sauce, so that the dishes are coated with a layer of noble gold, which is more beautiful visually.

When the dishes were cut and served out, everyone was shocked:

"Oh, Yueyue, did you really do this?"

"It's so beautiful, it's like a work of art, isn't this amazing?"

"How did you make this lotus root? It's actually snow white."

"My daughter is really good. It seems that it was right to let you apply for Central Finance and Economics."

"..."

When the family was admiring this dish, Lin Xu brought the foam box to the kitchen, cut up the sweet-skinned duck and other stewed dishes and put them on the plate, and then repacked some of the packed dishes on the plate.

I was busy with work, and everyone's admiration sounded outside:
"It's delicious. This lotus root is really suitable for summer. It not only cools off the heat, but also improves appetite."

"Yueyue, hurry up and teach me, and when my parents come back from a business trip, they will also behave."

Chen Yan was full of anticipation. She always felt that this method was beautiful and delicious. Later, she learned to make it for her parents-in-law. This would not allow two professors who like ancient literature to compose a poem on the spot.

Shen Jiayue said with a smile:
"This one is pretty simple. I don't have anything to do in the afternoon. How about I teach you? By the way, I will shoot a video. I haven't released a teaching video for a long time. It's time to let netizens see the strength of this chef again!"

"OK, OK, no problem!"

At this moment, Lin Xu had already prepared the dishes, and Ren Jie helped him bring them to the dining table outside, and then brought out the rice stewed by the old lady. After it was ready, everyone began to eat lunch.

Under the shade of the tree, the family laughed and laughed. On a small stone table next to it, a fat cat was squatting on it, eating steamed bullfrog meat.

This is the life Lin Xu longs for.
