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

Ten o'clock in the morning.

There was light rain falling in the sky.

Lin Xu drove to the entrance of an alley near the North Third Ring Road.

After parking the car, he held an umbrella in one hand and carried the two snacks he made last night in the other hand. He came to a courtyard at the entrance of the alley and raised his hand to press the doorbell.

Not long after, there was a sound of brisk footsteps inside.

Then, the door opened.

The little mushroom-headed Geng Lele stuck out his head:

"Haha, welcome Brother Xu to our home. After Sister Yue told me last night, I excitedly approved a leave note for myself overnight."

Lin Xu: "..."

You're too lazy to even act, right?

He closed his umbrella, flicked it twice and asked:

"If you ask for leave like this, will the school punish you?"

"As long as I am the first in grade, no one will punish me. The teachers are worried that studying for too long is bad for my health, so they always encourage me to play more. Unfortunately, the computer configuration in the school computer room is too poor, so it is not very enjoyable to play."

That’s because the teachers don’t know how naughty you are, right?

After walking into the courtyard gate, Lin Xu hung his umbrella on the shelf behind the door, then picked up snacks and followed Geng Lele along the circular corridor in the courtyard.

"Where's Dundun?"

"At the company, there is a new employee training today. The store manager happened to miss it, so he sent Dundun to the company."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I really didn't expect that you relied on our Holy Master to kidnap all the celebrity managers of Diaoyutai. I didn't believe it when Sister Yue said it last night."

"This...this is all Dundun's contribution."

It would be fair to take credit for anything else, but the fact that Shu Yun was kidnapped was definitely Dundun's credit. This little guy started to show his kindness to others since he entered Diaoyutai.

That’s why recruitment is so smooth sailing.

If it had treated others with the same stinky face, Shu Yun probably wouldn't have resigned from Diaoyutai.

At least resignation won't be so straightforward.

Arriving in front of a study room, Geng Lele banged the door:

"Old man, open the door quickly. Your sworn brother is here to see you. If you don't open the door, I'll finish the snacks he brought!"

Before he finished speaking, the door opened.

Geng Lishan's hearty laughter came from inside:

"Young friend Lin, welcome, your coming will make my house shine!"

He was wearing a white training suit and looked energetic.

Lin Xu took the snack in his hand and handed it over:

"I made some snacks last night, please don't mind Mr. Tateyama."

"Wherever I can taste Lin Xiaoyou's craftsmanship, that's my blessing."

Walking into the study room filled with the fragrance of ink, Lin Xu was immediately attracted by the calligraphy and paintings hanging inside.

Isn’t it said that Mr. Tateyama’s works are worth a thousand pieces of gold?

There are so many here.

If it were sold at the market price, it wouldn't be worth hundreds of millions, right?

Tsk…

Where is this study?

It's like a bank vault!

"The house is quite messy, little friend Lin, don't dislike it."

Arriving inside, Geng Lishan hurriedly started pouring tea, while Geng Lele opened the box brought by Lin Xu:

"Sister Yue said the colorful horseshoe cake is very beautiful, I have to take a photo to show off."

As she was talking, she saw the horseshoe cakes made by Lin Xu. There were two small boxes in total, all cut into exquisite diamond shapes.

After opening it, not only Geng Lele was stunned, but even Geng Lishan, who was pouring tea, almost poured it into his hands.

"Oh, this horseshoe cake is so beautiful, it's like a work of art."

Geng Lele immediately took out his mobile phone, took a few photos and sent them to the topic of Lin Ji Food.

"Boss Lin came to play with my old man today and brought a few boxes of snacks. My girlish heart suddenly became cute. What should I do if I can't bear to eat them?"

Because she promotes Miao Miao Cult every day, she also has a certain number of fans on social platforms.

As soon as it was posted, comments from netizens poured in.

Brother Qiang of Xierqi: Do you believe that I can be bored in one breath?

Riding a cat on the battlefield: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Lin Daiyu uprooted the weeping willow: I will give you one thousand and one!

Bobo is unhappy: I pay three thousand, can you get free shipping?

Flowers never bloom again, and people never grow old again: Where is this? Why are there so many calligraphy and paintings in the room?

I am sworn in with gambling and drugs: It is said that the great calligrapher Mr. Tateyama has an irreconcilable relationship with Boss Lin. Could it be that the high priest of the Meow Meow Cult who posted this post is a family member of Mr. Tateyama?

My male god is Dundun: No wonder the high priest knows all the troubles Boss Lin has, it turns out he is one of his own.

…

After Geng Lele finished posting, he took a piece of snack and put it in his mouth.

"Wow, it tastes really good. No wonder Sister Yue keeps saying it's delicious. Thank you, Brother Xu."

"You're welcome!"

After Lin Xu finished speaking, he looked at Geng Lishan and said:

"I came today to ask Mr. Tateyama to write an inscription..."

He explained from beginning to end the need for inscriptions on the Travel Channel’s food program.

When Geng Lishan heard this, he immediately stood up, studied the ink, and wrote the four words "Eat the Taste of the World".

After finishing writing, he turned to look at Lin Xu and asked:

"How about it, Xiaoyou Lin? If it doesn't work, I'll rewrite it."

Lin Xu: "..."

Please tell me the conditions, otherwise I will owe you a huge favor.

I have to find a way to repay this calligrapher.

Otherwise, I won’t become a prostitute for nothing.

Next to me, Geng Lele had eaten the colorful horseshoe cake, and then tried the Shaqima made by Lin Xu. Well, it also tasted great, much better than the Shaqima bought on the street.

This girl said to Lin Xu while eating:

"Brother Xu, please chat with my grandpa for a while. He has been shut up in the house all day, and he is almost destroying himself."

When Lin Xu heard this, he immediately had an idea.

He looked at Geng Lishan and asked:

"Mr. Tateyama, the travel channel's food program was established in a hurry. Those young editors don't know much about food legends and stories, and it's easy to overturn when doing promotions. If you don't mind it, I would like to invite you to serve as the program director on behalf of the column team. Consultant position.”

The TV station must be in favor of this with both hands and feet.

They couldn't even find a significant celebrity to write an inscription on before, but now they have directly found a consultant for them. Are they crazy about this?

As for Geng Lishan.

There is something he is more interested in, which is much better than being bored in the study all the time.

It just so happens that he is a famous gourmet in Beijing and has his own unique insights into food, which can be incorporated into the show.

"General Counsel?"

Although Geng Lishan was not interested in this title.

But the food show that Lin Xiaoyou participated in, when he was the general consultant, it was not too much to try every dish, right?

During this period, you might even get to know a bunch of chefs who cook.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said:

"Since Xiaoyou Lin invited me, I have the audacity to agree, but I have agreed first that if the program team refuses to listen and insists on going its own way, I will leave directly!"

"Don't worry, if you are unhappy, I will quit the show with you."

Just kidding, the Travel Channel couldn't even find a decent celebrity. Now that Geng Lishan has finally joined, they can't worship them like gods and Buddhas.

Besides, food is Geng Lishan’s forte, so who would argue with him?

Lin Xu took out his cell phone and told Zeng Xiaoqi about it.

At the same time on the Travel Channel, when everyone was busy reviewing the food program process, they suddenly heard Zeng Xiaoqi’s scream.

"Ahhhh Mr. Tateyama has agreed to be our general consultant for the program!!!!"

What a surprise.

It’s more surprising than eating five pounds of spicy crayfish in one sitting.

That's gourmet Mr. Tateyama. It is said that several food programs tried to invite him last month, but they all turned down the offer. Some of the program planners were even kicked out.

Unexpectedly, Boss Lin was able to finish it today with just two boxes of snacks.

When the colleagues in the office heard this, they all slapped the table excitedly.

A few days ago, Zhen Wensheng shamelessly wanted to invite people from the Culinary Association to participate, but he hit a snag. People thought the Travel Channel was small and looked down upon.

I originally thought that the travel channel would continue to be a salty fish that my uncle doesn’t love and my grandma doesn’t love.

Unexpectedly, everything changed after meeting Lin Xu.

When Zhen Wensheng heard Zeng Xiaoqi's scream, he thought a snake had come into the office. When he heard that Geng Lishan had agreed to serve as the general consultant of the program, the old media man was also very excited:

"Find a place to celebrate tonight, I'll pay for it!"

Colleagues immediately cheered.

You can eat kebabs with beer again!

Just when Zeng Xiaoqi was about to ask what the per capita standard was at night, Zhen Wensheng said to her:

"You are not allowed to eat spicy food!"

My throat is broken and I still eat spicy food. I really plan to change my career to something else, right?

Zeng Xiaoqi said with a smile:

"It's not made by Boss Lin. I'm not interested in eating it."

She packed up all the information and planning documents from the program team, took her digital camera with her, and said to Zhen Wensheng:

"The program inscription has been written. Boss Lin asked me to take a picture and put it in the title sequence. By the way, I can show Mr. Tateyama our program plan and see if there is anything that needs to be added."

I have actually gone through the planning document many times, and the process has basically been clarified.

But at this time, in order to show respect for Mr. Tateyama, I must let him read it and give his opinions. This will show sincerity.

While Zeng Xiaoqi was packing her things, Zhen Wensheng returned to the office, opened the office cabinet, and took out two bottles of high-end liquor that had been collected for many years.

He packed it in a bag as if it were a treasure and handed it to the beautiful lady Zeng who was about to go out:

"It's not appropriate to visit Mr. Tateyama's home empty-handed. These two bottles of wine have been with me for twenty years. I handed them to Mr. Tateyama for me to express our respect for the Travel Channel."

"Okay Mr. Zhen."

Zeng Xiaoqi took a taxi and hurried to the Geng family courtyard. The rain had stopped.

Lin Xu is admiring Geng Lishan's calligraphy works in the study.

Geng Lele, on the other hand, was interacting with the netizens with her mobile phone.

When she heard the doorbell ringing, the girl ran over:

"Hello, Sister Xiaoqi, Brother Xu and my grandpa are waiting for you."

"Hello Lele."

After Zeng Xiaoqi came in, she first presented two bottles of liquor collected by Zhen Wensheng and said a lot of good things. Then she took out the program planning book and related information and showed it to Geng Lishan.

Originally she thought it was just a formality.

Unexpectedly, Geng Lishan actually put on his reading glasses and read the plan, and asked some questions while reading.

After some communication, the two parties talked smoothly.

One is a famous gourmet, and the other is a media person who really wants to do a food show. When such people meet together, they will naturally become more and more speculative.

Coupled with the fact that Lin Xu occasionally interjected food-related remarks, Geng Lishan completely agreed with this program.

As noon approached, Geng Lishan stood up and said:

"Today, distinguished guests are coming, so I have to cook for you and show you my cooking skills."

As a gourmet, although I am not a superb cook, I still know a few specialty dishes.

For example, Geng Lishan is very good at making fried noodles.

In the cultural circles of Beijing, Geng's fried noodles are famous for their delicious taste.

In the past, people in cultural circles were often proud to eat fried noodles made by Geng Lishan himself.

However, since he closed his doors to accept guests, outsiders have not been able to taste his craftsmanship at all.

"Hey, it's such an unexpected pleasure to be able to taste Mr. Tateyama's craftsmanship. I'll give you a hand today and learn how to make noodles by the way."

Lin Xu followed Geng Lishan to the kitchen.

He really wanted to see how to make noodles with soybean paste, and he also wanted to get started with it.

After all, this calligrapher is over seventy years old. He can do some light work, but when it comes to kneading and rolling noodles, he is a bit overwhelmed.

"Little friend Lin, I won't be polite to you anymore. Today we will divide the work. You will be responsible for the noodles and I will be responsible for the sauce. Let's open the eyes of Reporter Zeng."

"okay!"

Lin Xu came to the kitchen to wash her hands and start making noodles.

Geng Lishan took out a bag of dry yellow sauce and a bag of sweet noodle sauce, squeezed them into the basin, then took a bottle of aged Huadiao wine, poured small amounts into the basin several times, and began to make the sauce.

Dried yellow sauce is dry and needs to be opened before use.

He said as he was busy:

"The most common noodles in Beijing are noodles with soybean paste. Almost every family makes them, and each store has different recipes and tastes. They all taste homemade, and there is no way to say whether they are authentic or not."

Lin Xu nodded:

"There is really no set rule for home-cooked food. As long as it tastes good, it's authentic. If it doesn't taste good, it's not authentic."

These words gave Geng Lishan a thumbs up:

"What Xiaoyou Lin said makes sense. It doesn't matter whether it's authentic or not. What's important is that it tastes good."

After spreading the sauce, he started cutting the meat.

To make fried sauce, you need to use pork belly. It is best to have more fat, so that the sauce will be fragrant enough.

You don’t need to cut the meat too big, just the size of your fingertips will do. Because this kind of meat is similar in size to a mahjong sieve, it is also called a sieve piece.

When cutting meat, fat and lean should be separated.

When making the sauce like this, you can first stir-fry the fat meat to remove the fat, and then add the lean meat. This way the diced meat will taste more delicious.

If the fat and lean meat are put into the pot together, the lean meat will be dry by the time the fat meat is fried, and the fat meat will not be oily when the lean meat is cooked, it will not taste good.

After the meat is cut.

Geng Lishan took out some prawns from the refrigerator, peeled them off, and then cut them into pieces similar to diced meat.

"When I make fried noodles, I like to put some shrimps in it to add some umami flavor to the fried sauce and make it more enjoyable. The reason why people praise my craftsmanship is because of these shrimps."

Lin Xu secretly remembered it in his heart and planned to go back and give it a try.

If it tastes good with shrimps, then you should also put some shrimps in when making fried noodles in the store.

Well, not only shrimps are put in, but also the oil in the fried sauce is replaced with shrimp oil. Since it increases the umami, add it to the bottom. I don’t believe that the fried sauce made this way is not delicious.

After preparing the shrimps, Geng Lishan took several Shandong green onions prepared by the nanny and cut a large bowl of chopped green onions with a kitchen knife.

"When frying the sauce, you need more green onions, and you need to fry them three times. This way, the fried green onions will have a rich aroma and a soft texture."

Three times?

Lin Xu asked:

"Can I use scallion oil?"

These words just scratched Geng Lishan’s itch:

"That's great. If you use scallion oil, it's best to use the scallion oil used to roast sea cucumbers with scallions. That one has a stronger aroma and is more delicious. It's just too laborious, so I didn't prepare it."

Lin Xu: "..."

Don’t all gourmets get tired of fine food?

It's too laborious for you to do it directly, and your character will suddenly collapse.

After cutting the green onions, Geng Lishan chopped some minced ginger and garlic, then set up the wok and started frying the sauce.

At this time, Lin Xu had already mixed the noodles, put them aside and started to wash his hair.

He had nothing to do, so he stood next to Geng Lishan and watched the gourmet making fried sauce.

Heat the pan, slide the pan back into the cold oil.

When the oil is hot, pour in the diced fat pork and start stir-frying over low heat.

Using low heat can force out the fat in the diced pork to the maximum extent, making the sauce smell like lard, but not sour.

Stir-fry the diced fat meat until the surface is browned, add the diced lean meat and continue stir-frying.

If you use stir-fried lard to fry lean meat, can the diced meat not be fragrant?

When stir-frying lean meat, you can use high heat, so that the moisture in the lean meat can be quickly fried.

"Don't put the sauce in a hurry. Be sure to stir-fry the oil in the pan until it turns clear. Only in this way can the water vapor in the meat be fried. The sauce can be stored for many days without spoiling."

When the fat in the pot became clear, Geng Lishan poured the minced ginger and garlic prepared earlier into the pot, and added one-third of the chopped green onion.

Continue to stir-fry.

When the aroma comes out, pour in the sauce diluted with rice wine.

At this time, the sauce and the oil in the pot are in a distinct state, so use a spoon to keep pushing in the pot to allow the fat and sauce to quickly fuse together.

This way the flavor of the sauce will come out.

Making fried sauce seems simple, but it is actually a laborious task.

Even though Geng Lishan was experienced, he still had sweat on his forehead after pushing for a while.

Lin Xu took the spoon and said:

"Let me do this physical work, and you can just help me sweep the formation."

After a while, the fat in the pot disappeared, and the originally thick sauce became much thinner.

This is because the fat and sauce are integrated into one.

"Just continue to fry. After a while, the water content will reduce, the sauce will become thicker again, and even excess fat will be fried. At that time, pour the shrimp in and add the chopped green onion for the second time."

The umami substances will evaporate when heated, so don't put them in too early, otherwise they will be fried out.

Wait until the water in the sauce is almost fried before adding it. When stir-frying, the umami flavor in the shrimp will be sealed into the sauce by the fat and will not evaporate.

Wow, you are so particular!

Lin Xu continued to stir-fry. After about fifteen minutes, the sauce in the pot became thicker again and the surface became oily.

Pour in the chopped shrimps and then add one-third of the chopped green onions.

The aroma of green onions gradually becomes stronger.

However, the fried bean paste is not ready yet, so we have to continue frying it to bring out the aroma of the dried soybean paste. Only then will the fried bean paste noodles be delicious.

Stir-fry over low heat for another ten minutes.

When the aroma of the sauce in the pot became stronger and stronger, Geng Lishan said:

"Turn off the heat. After turning off the heat, pour in the remaining green onions, stir well and serve."

Lin Xu nodded, turned off the heat on the stove, poured in the chopped green onion, stirred evenly, and then poured the sauce into a small basin, enough to fill a small basin.

The fried sauce is ready.

The nanny has also prepared noodles for eating fried noodles.

There are small soybean sprouts that have grown just over one centimeter, cucumber shreds, carrot shreds, radish leaves, leek segments, purple cabbage, chopped celery, diced beans, shredded eggs and other twelve kinds of ingredients.

There are a few more items than the seven plates and eight bowls of fried noodles.

"Hey, no wonder everyone praises your noodles for being delicious. The noodles are so rich, how can they not be delicious?"

Geng Lishan said with a smile:

"These are all combinations, and they are all ingredients that neutralize the salty taste of the fried sauce. If the sauce is delicious, then everything else is good. If the sauce is not delicious, no matter how good the noodles are, it will be useless!"

At this time, the noodles were already cooked. Lin Xu used a rolling pin to roll them into noodles, cooked them in a large pot, and poured them into bowls one by one.

Put it on top and pour a spoonful of fragrant fried sauce.

Began to eat!
