Stop pretending, I am the God of Cooking and I am showing off my cards!

After admiring the blooming flowers, the relatives put down their mobile phones with satisfaction, then took spoons and began to taste the taste of clear water hibiscus.

I originally thought that such a clear soup base would have a bland taste.

However, when they tasted it, they were immediately attracted by the delicious taste.

"Oh, this soup is so delicious."

"Yeah, losing my eyebrows is unimaginable."

"It tastes great. It tastes really good."

"It looks like clear water, but who knew it tasted so rich."

"This skill is really amazing."

"..."

It didn't take long.

The white jade lotus root silk made by Lin Xu was also served.

This aroused the exclamation of relatives again.

Mrs. Shen was particularly satisfied with Lin Xu's craftsmanship. She smiled and said to Mrs. Han:

"Congratulations on having a wonderful grandson-in-law."

Mrs. Han replied in a business-like manner:

"Congratulations on having a great grandson-in-law!"

When the two old ladies were feeling happy, they started to go up to the Dragon Boat Festival.

Braised fish lips, salt and pepper fish segments, fried raw fish fillets, crispy fried fish intestines, fried fish liver with garlic, fried fish maw, braised fish spine, fish balls in clear soup, steamed fish belly, fish tail in black bean sauce, crispy fried fish steak...

One fish can be used to prepare twenty or thirty kinds of dishes, and each dish is divided into four plates.

After more than a hundred dishes were served, the dishes on the table were finally not so sparse.

At this time, Xie Baomin and others who had finally finished their work also came in. They toasted everyone with wine before sitting down and starting to eat.

The executive chef of Diaoyutai cooked the dishes himself and toasted each other with wine glasses, which made Shen Guofu's relatives even more satisfied with Lin Xu.

Let’s not talk about whether we have money or not.

This kind of relationship and connections are not comparable to ordinary people.

Don't forget, there is a great calligrapher sitting in the corner who is grabbing something to eat with his granddaughter.

Although there are many wealthy relatives in the Shen family, none of them can invite the calligrapher to attend such an occasion.

Before coming, Shen Guofu gave these relatives many instructions, for fear that they would think the Lin family was poor or not from the local area.

But now...

How dare we dislike others?

It’s good if you don’t get disliked by others.

Lin Xu took the chopsticks and tasted the dishes one by one.

I have to say that it is quite cost-effective to buy a dragon crab for this kind of banquet. This thing is full of meat. A big dragon crab can easily cook more than a hundred dishes.

And the taste of each part is completely different.

The fish intestines are crispy, the liver is tender, the belly is fatty, and the fish steaks are juicy.

While eating, Chen Meijuan took out several jewelry boxes from her bag and handed them to Shen Baobao:

"Yueyue, according to the rules of my hometown, you need to give three gold coins when you get engaged. I took the time to buy this for you the day before yesterday. Why don't you try it."

An engagement here in the capital is just a meal between the two families.

In the Central Plains, there is a custom that the man gives the woman three gold coins.

Although Shen Guofu had refused before, other people have daughters-in-law, and I, Chen Meijuan, must have such a perfect daughter-in-law, and she must be better than others.

Shen Baobao didn't expect that in addition to the red envelope for the engagement, there would also be three gold gifts, so he thanked Chen Meijuan and opened the jewelry box happily.

Inside the first jewelry box is a platinum necklace.

The four-leaf clover pendant of the necklace is set with a diamond, which sparkles under the light.

"Wow, so beautiful, I like it so much!"

After saying that, Baby Shen quickly put it on his neck.

After putting it on, I looked at it with the front camera of my phone. It is indeed very beautiful!

Inside the second jewelry box is a cute platinum bracelet with a circle of diamonds on it, which is also sparkling.

Baby Shen put it on his hand again without ceremony.

After taking a few photos of my white wrist with my mobile phone.

The girl opened the third jewelry box.

Inside is a pair of platinum and diamond rings.

"We happen to have one each."

Baby Shen put the ring on the ring finger of his left hand. It was just the right size and matched perfectly with the bracelet. Her mother-in-law had a great eye for choosing jewelry.

Put the ring on.

She urged Lin Xu to put it on again.

After putting them on, the two put their hands together, showed both rings, and then took a photo and posted it to the topic of Lin Ji Food.

"We are engaged today, can you send me some blessings?"

Just sent out.

Comments came one after another:

"Wish you a happy marriage!"

"May we grow old together!"

"May heaven and earth last forever!"

"Wish you happiness and happiness!"

"Five children!"

"Six children!"

"Seven children!"

…

While Shen Baobao liked the comments of netizens one by one, Lin Xu, led by Shen Guofu, held a wine glass and began to toast to his relatives.

Relatives also returned the favor one by one.

The atmosphere is very harmonious.

After meal.

The waiters filed in, removed the food and wine from the table, and served everyone the special in-house tea.

The relatives chatted for a while.

Then he stood up and prepared to leave.

However, when they left the private room, they found a pile of souvenirs at the door.

The front desk manager and several waiters in Building 10 are responsible for distributing it to everyone. The guests who came today, regardless of adults or children, each have one.

"These souvenirs are given to foreign heads of state or heads of state who have stayed here. They cannot be bought outside. Thank you again for attending my junior brother's engagement banquet. It is not respectful to pay attention to it."

Xie Baomin explained.

Dai Jianli also carefully explained the differences between several souvenirs, allowing everyone to choose on their own.

Now the relatives of the Shen family were completely convinced.

Tan Yajun took one and said half-jokingly:

"This souvenir is really rare. If I had known I would have brought my wife and children with me..."

Shen Guofu stuffed another portion into his hand:

"You are Yueyue's leader and the first boss to support Xiaoxu. I'll give you a double share!"

Tan Yajun was not polite to him either.

After taking it, he said to Lin Xu:

"Lin Ji, hurry up and open the business. The employees of the audit office can't eat the food you cooked, and they are not in the mood to go to work... From now on, if the audit office takes over training tasks, they will be bound to Lin Ji."

"Thank you Uncle Tan."

"Thank you for nothing, this is what I should do."

Relatives and friends left Building No. 10 each carrying a souvenir. Everyone praised the Shen family for finding a good son-in-law, and Yueyue found a good partner.

When everyone is almost gone.

Old Mrs. Shen hugged Dundun and sat up from the sofa in the restaurant, preparing to go back.

When everyone was eating just now, Xie Baomin specially steamed a piece of dragon meat for Dundun. The little guy ate it so much that the meat residue was all over his beard.

After eating and drinking, I washed my face.

Now he was curled up in the old lady's arms and fell asleep.

"Mom, is it heavy? How about I hold it?"

Grandma Han Shuzhen hadn't bothered to play Dundun today. Now she saw the old lady holding the little guy while walking tremblingly, so she hurried over to take it over.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll hold him for a while. This little guy is really like a child. He was purring in my arms just now and talking in his sleep."

It's okay if Han Shuzhen doesn't listen.

As soon as I heard this, I wanted to hug little Dundun even more.

After all the relatives had left, the Shen family also got in the car and prepared to go back.

When he came today, Shen Guofu knew that this meal was indispensable, so he specially transferred a few drivers from the company.

as expected.

After an engagement dinner.

Lin Xu, Lin Hongqi and Shen Guofu all drank some white wine, while two ladies, Chen Meijuan and Han Shuzhen, also tasted the special red wine provided by Diaoyutai to entertain the heads of state.

Only Shen Baobao drank the juice drink prepared by Building 10 himself.

Soon, the drivers had already driven over the G63 driven by Lin Xu, the Bentley driven by Shen Guofu, and the Alfa driven by Mrs. Shen.

Open the car door.

Everyone is just getting ready to get in the car.

Xie Baomin and Dai Jianli moved the remaining souvenirs over and put them into the trunk of G63.

"Junior brother, aren't you going back to your hometown? Take these back and let your family members have a taste of our Diaoyutai craftsmanship."

Lin Xu thanked him.

Xie Baomin said with a smile:

"Brothers, you said this is an affair. Just now, your sister-in-law praised Lin Xu for finding a beautiful wife, and asked me to tell you to visit your house when you are all right."

"Okay, okay, Yueyue and I will visit you and your sister-in-law when we return from our hometown."

While he was talking, Guo Xinghai walked over from the restaurant carrying a bag:

"Lin Xu, there are a few kilograms of dragon meat left, please take it back."

oh?

I’ve made hundreds of dishes for this meal, haven’t I finished it yet?

But consider that almost every plate of dragon lobster meat has side dishes, and some are specially cooked with the pork belly. It is not pure dragon scallop meat, so it is normal to have leftovers.

He took it, said goodbye to everyone and got in the car.

"Brother Lin, if you have nothing to do around this afternoon, come to my house for a cup of tea, and recognize the door by the way."

Lin Xu and his wife took the G63, Han Shuzhen and Chen Meijuan got into the Bentley, and Shen Guofu was too lazy to sit in the passenger seat, so he pulled Lin Hongqi into Mrs. Shen's Alpha.

Before Lin Hongqi had time to speak, Mrs. Shen, who was holding Dundun in her arms, said:

"Go and sit at home, Hongqi. You really gave birth to a good son."

Now that the old lady has spoken, she naturally has to sit down.

When Shen Guofu heard this, he immediately called the nanny at the villa:

"Turn on the air conditioner in the living room, and take out the top-quality Dahongpao from my study. I'll have some distinguished guests at home later."

Lin Hongqi said with a smile:

"We are all family members, there is no need for such a grand ceremony."

"That's wrong, Brother Lin. It's just because we are our own family that we have to enjoy it more."

The car sped all the way to the Shen family's villa.

The drivers removed the souvenirs from the trunk and temporarily placed them in the refrigerator room of the villa.

These snacks are relatively delicate and cannot be left in a high temperature environment for a long time.

Wait until this is finished.

Lin Xu walked into the villa carrying the piece of dragon stew, turned to look at his mother and asked:

"There are still a few kilograms of dragon meat left, what should I eat better?"

"Make dumplings!"

For people in North China, no matter whether it is a festival or a happy event at home, they always feel incomplete without eating dumplings.

There are also many types of dumplings.

Almost all ingredients cannot escape the fate of being wrapped in dumplings.

Now, it's Long Zhen's turn.

When she heard about eating dumplings, Han Shuzhen, who was not very good at cooking, immediately became energetic:

"I'll ask the nanny to buy all the ingredients I need now. There are too many people at noon, and I always feel like I'm not full enough, so I just want to eat something delicious in the evening."

Chen Meijuan said with a smile:

"Let me see what I have at home. It's just making dumplings. No special ingredients are needed."

When the nanny started pouring tea with the teapot, Chen Meijuan came to the kitchen under the leadership of Han Shuzhen.

Aunt Liu is on vacation today.

It did avoid a new involution.

In the oversized vacuum refrigerator in the kitchen, there is a dazzling array of ingredients.

Chen Meijuan saw shepherd's purse and said:

"Then let's use shepherd's purse stuffing. Shepherd's purse doesn't take away the flavor like leeks or fennel. It just allows you to enjoy the deliciousness of dragon scallop meat. When you prepare the stuffing, add some lard. It will definitely taste better."

She said this.

Director Han became even more greedy:

"Then I'm just waiting to eat, Meijuan. If you need help, please let me know."

"No need to do anything, I can handle it all by myself."

It was too early to make dumplings at this time, so Chen Meijuan put the dragon meat in the refrigerator to keep it cold, planning to wait until three or four o'clock before making dumplings.

This way, it's freshly packaged and cooked, so it tastes better.

While the two sets of parents were sitting in the living room drinking tea and chatting, Lin Xu was led upstairs by Shen Baobao.

Close the door.

Lin Xugang was about to hug this big baby and give her a kiss.

Unexpectedly, Shen Baobao threw the bag full of red envelopes on the bed, kicked off the coconut shoes on his feet, threw himself on the bed, and urged:

"Don't be stunned, come up quickly!"

After saying that, she poured out all the red envelopes in her bag, opened one at random, and counted the money inside.

Lin Xu: "..."

You pulled me here just to count the red envelopes?

He smiled and sat on the edge of the bed, took the red envelope and opened it.

The Shen family is rich, and the red envelopes they send are quite unique. They are basically numbers with odd parts and whole numbers, such as 6666, 8888, or 9999.

Some elders even have five figures.

It caused some trouble for Shen Baobao's money counting work.

In addition to cash, there are also those who stuff bank cards or various gold items in red envelopes.

For example, the engagement gift given by Chen Yan's mother, Shen Guofang, was a gold brick numbered for Shen's baby's birthday. It weighed 200 grams and was heavy in her hand.

"Finally finished counting, so tired!"

Shen Jiayue rubbed her sore wrists and gathered her energy to put away the piles of money on the bed and prepare to lock it in the safe in the room.

However, when she saw Lin Xu lying next to her, the girl immediately leaned to the side:

"Ah, I'm dying...I need artificial respiration..."

Lin Xu turned over with a smile and lay face to face with Baobao Shen. Then the two of them kissed each other, and they didn't separate until they couldn't breathe.

After artificial respiration, Baby Shen regained his energy.

She opened the large wardrobe in the room, and Lin Xu saw the safe inside that was very similar to the small refrigerator in the hotel.

"Is this all money?"

"No, they are all things I collected."

After opening it with the password, Lin Xu went over to take a look and found that there were all kinds of strange things inside, including a stack of photos, a very familiar basketball wristband, and other bits and pieces.

This is……

He took the photos and looked at them. The first one was of him sleeping on the desk, still drooling.

The second picture is of Shen Baobao taking a selfie next to his sleeping self, making scissor hands gestures.

The ugly sleeping appearance of myself is in sharp contrast to the eccentric Shen Baobao.

The third picture is of me wearing basketball uniforms and playing on the court...

Each photo reminded Lin Xu of his school days. He put his hands around Baobao Shen's slender waist and said:

"You took so many photos secretly, so you are a stalker?"

Shen Jiayue: "..."

Stinky Xubao, how dare you say that to me?

As soon as she turned around, she pushed Lin Xu down on the carpet.

Involuntarily, there was another burst of head-holding and gnawing.

After kissing for a while, Lin Xu got drunk and fell asleep on the bed.

Shen Baobao lay next to him, taking a bunch of selfies with Lin Xu as the background just like he did when he was in school.

Four p.m.

After waking up, Lin Xu got tired of Shen Baobao for a while, and then went downstairs hand in hand with her, preparing to go to the kitchen to make dumplings.

When I arrived in the living room, I discovered that my sister-in-law Chen Yan had arrived at some unknown time.

Shen Baobao asked curiously:

"Huh? Why are you here?"

"Auntie said there will be dragon meat dumplings tonight. I haven't eaten them yet, so I drove over here to try them..."

Chen Yan looked at the two people who wanted to stick them together with glue, and curled her lips speechlessly.

Take away the sour smell of love from your body.

It simply smokes a person to death!

Lin Xu took a sip of the tea on the coffee table and then came to the kitchen.

I saw that my mother had already mixed the noodles for making dumplings and was now chopping the fillings.

"Your mother-in-law praised you for making the wonton fillings very fresh. You can also make the dumpling fillings this time. I will be responsible for chopping the fillings and rolling out the dough."

"OK."

Lin Xu didn't even treat his mother politely.

Take the washed onion and ginger to the cutting board next to you and cut some shreds of onion and ginger, then put it into cold boiling water and grab it twice, then squeeze it to let the juice in the onion and ginger fully penetrate into the cold boiling water.

By the time mom has chopped the dragon lobster meat, the onion and ginger water has been soaked.

Lin Xu added some light soy sauce and a little oyster sauce to the meat filling, then added two small spoons of salt and a small spoonful of five-spice powder, and stirred until the seasonings were evenly mixed.

Then slowly beat the onion and ginger water into the meat filling.

"Son, why didn't you put cooking wine?"

"You can't put cooking wine in the meat filling, as it will easily become sour. You should use onion and ginger water instead. If the meat has a strong smell, you can also add some pepper water."

Contact cooking time is too long.

Lin Xu also summed up some experience.

For example, cooking wine is not suitable for wrapped meat fillings, no matter what the filling is, because the cooking wine cannot evaporate and take away the odor in the filling, and will only make the meat filling sour.

For example, if you want the meat filling to be gelatinous, add salt; otherwise, use onion and ginger brine instead of salt.

When the meat filling is almost ready.

Lin Xu put in the chopped shepherd's purse and some white lard.

No matter what kind of fish you make, adding a little lard to it will definitely have unexpected effects.

Adding some chicken fat after adding lard will make the meat filling richer in flavor, which is much stronger than adding chicken essence and MSG.

Stir evenly again.

The meat filling for making dumplings is ready.

After the noodles were cooked, Chen Meijuan began to roll out the dough, while Lin Xu prepared the buns.

At this moment, Chen Yan and Shen Baobao came to help. In order not to be disliked, the two of them even washed their hands carefully.

Originally, Chen Meijuan rolled out Lin Xu Bao and could definitely wrap it before five o'clock.

But with the reverse help of the two cobblers, the dumplings were not finished until six o'clock in the evening.

Lin Xu lovingly wiped the flour off Baby Shen's face:

"Okay, wash your hands and wait to eat the dumplings. Do you want the sour soup or the dry one? If you want the sour soup, I will be a little jealous now."

"Sour soup and sour soup. Last time Wu Kexin said that the sour soup dumplings are very delicious. I have wanted to try them for a long time."

"I also eat sour soup!"

"And me, me too!"

"..."

The whole family ate dumplings in sour soup. Lin Xu quickly boiled some vinegar and let it dry so that he could add it to the dumpling soup later.

After the vinegar was boiled, Lin Xu cut some potato shreds, washed them twice with clean water to wash out the starch, then scalded them in boiling water, and then put them into cold water to cool.

Then pour the water into a basin, add light soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, salt and other condiments, then put a small handful of dried chili segments on top of the shredded potatoes, add a squirt of hot oil, and you have a stir-fried shredded potato that is suitable for eating with dumplings. alright.

In addition to shredded potatoes, Lin Xu also made dishes such as garlic open-back shrimp, cold bitter chrysanthemum, sweet and sour cucumber strips, and refreshing radish shreds.

After Chen Meijuan has cooked the dumplings.

These side dishes are also ready.

Follow the steps Master made for Wu Kexin and Panda to make sour soup dumplings last time. Add shrimp skin, seaweed soy vinegar and dumpling soup into the bowl, and then scoop the cooked dumplings in.

A portion of dragon and water chestnut dumplings in sour soup is ready.

After serving it to the table.

Han Shuzhen, who had been waiting eagerly for a long time, and two unhelpful foodies gathered around:

"Wow! It smells good!"

“The side dishes are well done, and we even steamed a portion of shrimps in such a short time.”

"This shredded potato looks very unique. I'll eat more of it later."

When the three of them were muttering.

Shen Guofu, who had taken Lin Hongqi to play billiards in the gym on the first floor, also came over.

"Brother Lin, let's have a little drink tonight. It's not appropriate to have just one drink on this big day."

Lin Hongqi's alcohol addiction was also aroused by this relative:

"Dumplings are like wine. The more you drink, the better. So let's have some."

People who like to drink can always find a lot of reasons for drinking. Lin Xu doesn't like drinking, so he sat directly with Shen Baobao and his sister-in-law to drink juice.

"Oh, these dumplings taste so fresh!"

"Yes, it's super delicious!"

“I originally thought a small bowl would be enough, but now it seems like two bowls are needed!”

"There are plenty of dumplings. I'll cook them for you after you finish."

"This side dish is also very delicious. It goes perfectly with dumplings."

The meat of the dragonfly is extremely fresh. After being wrapped in dumplings, the freshness cannot escape and the taste becomes more intense.

In addition, lard is added when preparing the filling, and the umami and aroma are mixed together, making people want to eat more and more, and they can't stop at all.

Finished eating the dumplings.

The nanny at home came to take care of it.

Shen Baobao took Lin Xu and came to the video room downstairs under the guise of watching a movie.

Just walked in the door.

This girl put her arms around Lin Xu's neck:

"Quick, this baby needs artificial respiration!"

Lin Xu: "..."

You treat me as a ventilator, right?

He complained silently and then posted it...
