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

It seems that my father-in-law was not satisfied with that plate of pot-wrapped pork.

Lin Xu murmured in his heart that he planned to make another pot later after seeing off the guests, so that the employees and family members could have a good time and realize the freedom of eating hotpot meat.

As for Shen Baobao, she is looking forward to her fish fillet at the moment, and even started a debate with Geng Lele and Chen Yan about the taste of the fish fillet.

When it was almost time, Lin Xu got up and followed his father Lin Hongqi and father-in-law Shen Guofu to toast the guests.

"President Liu, thank you for coming to the opening ceremony. I'll do it, you can do whatever you want."

"Uncle Tan, thank you for your continued support. I'll do it, you can do whatever you want."

"Director Liao, thank you for taking care of me at Diaoyutai. I'll do it, you can do whatever you want."

"..."

Lin Xu seemed to be possessed by the god of wine, drinking with the guests one glass at a time. Occasionally, a good thing would come in pairs, which made the guests marvel in admiration:

"Xiao Xu is such a down-to-earth person."

"Don't drink, kid. How can you deal with being drunk? Such a big store is waiting for you to stand up."

"As long as it comes to your mind, there's no need to drink so much."

"I can't just watch you drink. Uncle will do it with you."

"..."

After finishing the toast and leaving the private room, Shu Yun, who was responsible for pouring wine for Lin Xu, said with a smile:

"Boss is good at acting."

Lin Xu also replied:

"Mr. Shu, good technique!"

Before toasting, Shu Yun found two empty bottles and filled them with Sprite. The reason why Lin Xu couldn't stop drinking at this moment was entirely because drinking a small glass of Sprite was not enough.

Several times, he almost snatched the wine bottle from Shu Yun's hand and blew on it.

After exchanging business blows, the two pushed to the next private room, and then there was another round of words of thanks and toasts. Lin Xu once again drank the Sprite in the Wuliangye bottle as if possessed by the god of wine, without any hint of getting drunk. .

When he came out of the private room, Shu Yun handed the empty bottle to the waiter at the door, and then picked up another bottle from the waiter who followed him.

After unscrewing the bottle cap, she first smelled whether it was Sprite, not real wine.

Otherwise, the boss would be drunk and there would be no sweet and sour pot pork in the afternoon.

After a round of toasts, Lin Xu drank nearly three bottles of Sprite, but Lin Hongqi and Shen Guofu, who were following him, felt that drinking Sprite was not enough, so they switched to Wuliangye halfway, and each of them drank more than half a catty.

Well, I usually want to have a good drink but haven’t had the chance yet.

I finally got an opportunity to "drink on orders" today, but I couldn't just miss it.

Back in the private room, Han Shuzhen said quickly:

"Hurry up and eat some food. If you drink too much and don't eat food, it will hurt your stomach."

Lin Xu smiled bitterly and waved his hands. Just as he was about to speak, he burped first:

"I drank three bottles of Sprite and I can't eat anything right now."

Three bottles?

When Shen Baobao heard this, he looked annoyed:

"If I had known earlier, I would have gone along and shared a bottle with you."

Do you want to drink Sprite?

Last time someone drank red wine, you drank Coke. This time, when drinking white wine, you want to drink Sprite. Is this how you exercise your drinking capacity?

Lin Xu couldn't eat or drink at the moment, so he planned to go to the kitchen to grill dried fish. He couldn't let everyone steal Xiaodundun's rations anymore.

You have to separate food for humans and food for cats.

"You guys eat, I'll go to the kitchen to bake the dried fish, and take a look at what else can be baked in the oven, and try to get a few more."

Upon hearing this, Shen Baobao immediately raised his hands in agreement:

"I've been thinking about eating dried fish for a long time. You should make more!"

She originally wanted to eat more by herself, but as soon as she finished speaking, Chen Yan, who was holding the head of a roast suckling pig next to her and photographing three mouths of one pig, immediately said:

"Yes, yes, do more. I was just worrying about what snacks to have at night. Thank you for your hard work, brother-in-law."

Shen Baobao looked helplessly at his cousin who was eager to take photos:

"Yan Bao, listen to my sister's advice and stop making videos like this. The more you make, the harder it will be to find a partner."

Chen Yan was stunned:

"Why? Isn't this just to show that I am humorous?"

"No, it will only make you look like a fool... A fool will only attract the same type of fools, but not the opposite sex..."

Chen Yan: "!!!!!!"

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Coming to the kitchen, Lin Xu looked at Che Zai and said:

"Let someone send some crucian carp over. It shouldn't be too big, but it should be fresh enough."

The mackerel in the cold storage is reserved for Dundun. Since it is going to be cooked for Shen Baobao, there is no need to use mackerel. Other fish can also be used.

When Che Zai went to call the aquatic product owner to deliver fish, Lin Xu came downstairs and fished out several grass carp weighing more than ten kilograms from the aquarium.

The taste of just using crucian carp is too simple, and it is easy for people to get bored.

Relatively speaking, it is better to have more tricks.

For example, this kind of big grass carp, cut off the fish meat and make it like pork jerky. Isn't this better than grabbing those saltless and tasteless dried fish in Dundun?

Come upstairs.

He slaughtered the fish cleanly.

The fish scales are saved to make spicy fish scales or fish scale jelly, the fish offal is stewed in sauce at night, the fish head and fish bones are cooked with tofu at night to make fish head and tofu soup, and the fish skin is made into pickled pepper fish skin.

Soon, several fishes were clearly arranged.

Putting the fish skin, fish meat, fish bones and other scraps aside, Lin Xu prepared to process the fish meat first.

Use a kitchen knife to cut the fish into small pieces, and then use the mace used to smash beef balls to smash into minced meat.

This type of delicacy is the same as making fish balls and meatballs. If you want to be lazy, you can put it directly into the food processor and beat it. If you feel that the texture produced by the food processor is not good, you can also use the method of mincing the meat filling.

But the best way is to smash it.

Use an iron mace to smash the fish meat into puree, so that the umami substances in the fish meat can be fully released. In this way, the preserved fish meat will be more fragrant and delicious, and it will be more delicious.

In addition to making preserved fish, this minced meat can also be used to make delicacies such as fish balls or fish soup.

"Boss, are you going to make fish balls?"

Seeing Lin Xu playing with the fish, Zhu Yong came over curiously and asked.

"I'm going to make some preserved fish. Isn't Building No. 15 good at fish? Is this how fish balls are made?"

"Yes, in addition to smashing, you can also choose to shave the fish paste."

shave?

As soon as he heard the word "scratching", Lin Xu immediately understood.

Just like making chicken mince, use a kitchen knife to scrape the meat repeatedly. The scraped meat will be fluffy and soft, which is relatively better than smashing it.

But the fish was too much prepared today.

If I had to shave, I would be busy until dark.

It's easier and more straightforward to smash it.

Fish meat is loose and far less strong than beef or pork. A piece of meat can be broken loose with a few hits.

When the owner of the aquatic product stall delivered the small crucian carp to be used, dozens of kilograms of fish meat had been dried into a paste by Lin Xu using the crazy magic method.

He has no skills in making beef balls or pork balls, nor does he know how to smash fish meat.

But he has plenty of strength.

In addition, I just drank three bottles of Sprite and needed some exercise, so I hit it hard with all my strength.

Not to mention, after all this tossing, the feeling of being stretched and bloated after the Sprite was put into the stomach was relieved a lot.

Life really lies in movement!

"Boss, the crucian carp is here, what do you need to do to clean it up?"

Chezi walked into the kitchen carrying a bag of crucian carp.

Lin Xu thought about the dried fish he had eaten in the past and ordered to him:

"The fish scales have been removed. Cut the fish open with a knife from the back, clean the internal organs, and remove the head."

If you are making salted fish or large dried fish, you have to keep the fish head. After all, even if you can't eat it, you can still make soup or make other things.

But for this kind of snack dried fish, the fish head doesn’t have much meat, it’s all bones. It’s easy to scratch your teeth when you eat it. It’s better to just remove it, which makes it easier to bake.

Chezi agreed and went to the pool to clean up.

Lin Xu, on the other hand, scraped all the mashed meat into a basin, put in onion ginger water, light soy sauce, salt, sugar, pepper, five-spice powder, oyster sauce and other condiments, stirred the condiments evenly, and then started. After half an hour of pounding and beating, the fish meat is completely gelatinized and sticky.

After doing this, divide the fish meat into small pots and start to prepare different flavors.

The seasoning just added is the basic seasoning. If you want to get different tastes of the jerky, you need to season it a second time.

For example, the spicy flavor should use fried and ground dried chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, the spicy flavor should use soybean powder and dried chili peppers, the cumin flavor should use more cumin powder, and the tomato flavor should use tomato sauce...

Only in this way will the dried meat have a different taste.

It will taste more delicious and diverse.

After mixing all the seasonings into the fish, Lin Xu covered it with plastic wrap and asked a few free helpers to take it to the cold storage and refrigerate it for marinating.

To make this type of jerky, the meat must be marinated thoroughly before grilling.

Only in this way can the meat taste good. If you bake it just after adding the seasonings, the meat will not taste good, and the texture and taste will be much worse.

"The dried meat looks good. I'll make some tomorrow too."

The whole process of making fish meatballs is very similar to that of fish meatballs. As a chef from Building 15, Zhu Yong already knows this method well.

Seeing Lin Xu do this, he also planned to try some.

Give it to Lu Lu before the boss lady puts the poison in, and see how this violent maniac beats him.

While he was thinking about it, there was a WeChat message on his phone:

"I want to eat Guobao Pork tonight, don't forget to make it, otherwise I will let you feel the uppercut I have been practicing recently."

Zhu Yong: "..."

Come again, come again.

You are so vicious every time. If I didn't really like you, I would have to let you feel the violent factor in the blood of the old Zhu family!

In the private room upstairs.

Geng Lele looked at Lu Lu's chat page and asked curiously:

"Sister Lu, why do you always treat Brother Yong like this? Last time Brother Qian said that Brother Yong was trembling all over when he saw the message you sent. Don't scare him out of trouble."

Lu Lu took a sip of the sour plum soup and then said with a smile:

"Every time I see Weeping Willow being bullied by me, I want to hold his face and kiss him hard. It is the first time in my life that I have met a man who is so accommodating to me and treats me well. I am really afraid of him in the future. He didn’t like me anymore, so I couldn’t help but be a little cruel to him.”

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it sounds like a romance novel."

Geng Lele cannot understand this kind of love and hatred. In her opinion, such boring things are not even as interesting as a high-level math question.

But seeing Lu Lu's happy face, she held her drink cup and said:

"I hope Brother Yong will not attend in a wheelchair when you get married..."

"How is that possible? I'm actually very gentle."

Geng Lele: "..."

Sister, do you have any misunderstanding about gentleness?

Don’t you know that among the girls in our circle, your intimidation power is greater than that of big sister Tiantian?

Still gentle...

Is it as ruthless and gentle as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves?

in the kitchen.

After Lin Xu finished playing with the preserved fish, Che Zai and the two helpers also finished packing the crucian carp.

These crucian carps were cut open from the back one by one, all the internal organs in the stomach were cleaned, and the fish heads were removed. If you look at it upside down, the whole fish looks like a butterfly spreading its wings.

After cleaning the fish, Lin Xu began to marinate it.

Curing meat is basically indispensable with onion and ginger water and pepper water to add flavor, as well as salt, sugar, light soy sauce, oyster sauce and pepper and other condiments.

To add flavor, add some spicy millet cut in half.

After everything is put, stir evenly, cover with plastic wrap, and start marinating.

"Boss, are you going to bake these in the oven later? Our electric oven is a bit small."

Lin Xu pointed to the roast duck stove not far away and said:

"Use a stove. The charcoal inside will burn out before it can be extinguished, so let's use the waste."

There is a grill net and a grill in the store. After the crucian carp is marinated, it is directly placed on the grill net and hung in the roasting duck oven, and then grilled over low heat and slowly.

When it's almost ready, put some bagasse in it and smoke it.

The flavorful smoked and grilled crucian carp is now ready.

Having two while watching TV shows or playing games at night is definitely more enjoyable than eating takeout.

"The boss has really taken great pains to prevent Dundun's rations from being stolen!"

"It's no wonder that the little guy is the closest to the boss. When the boss is around, even Mr. Shu doesn't pay much attention to him."

"..."

Wei Qian and Zhuang Yizhou chatted one after another. When Lin Xu finished his work, he came over and asked:

"Boss, can you make pot-roasted pork now?"

"The meat slices have been cut and marinated, and the starch has been soaked, just waiting for you to operate."

In fact, the two of them can also make Guobao Pork, but they always feel that the taste of their own cooking is different from that of Lin Xu, so they came over as soon as they saw Lin Xu finishing his work.

"Okay, let's make another pot. I didn't get any in the kitchen just now. Let's enjoy it first this time."

Lin Xu rolled up his sleeves and cooked another half of the pot of pork in a pot, allowing the busy chefs in the kitchen to get over their addiction to the pork in a pot.

Half an hour later, the guests had eaten and drank and stood up to leave.

In front of the small service counter on the third floor, boxes of souvenirs have been prepared, and each customer has one. Among them are colorful horseshoe cakes and brown sugar shaqima, all made by Lin Xu himself.

"I finally saw the delicious food handmade by Boss Lin. I plan to take a photo and show it off in the topic of Lin Ji Food."

"Yes, I usually watch the boss lady and the others do poisoning, so we have to get addicted to poisoning."

"It's a pity that there are no other snacks, otherwise netizens would be even more envious."

"Just wait. According to the proprietress, in order to welcome the Mid-Autumn Festival, new gift boxes will be released one after another in the store, so everyone should not forget to buy Lin Ji's gift boxes when visiting relatives and friends."

"If you forget, you can't forget. The key is that you can't buy it. There are only about a hundred copies every day, which is even harder to grab than the expert account."

"I really hope Boss Lin can expand the scale of his business quickly. I'm still waiting to buy his gift box to visit relatives at my father-in-law and mother-in-law's house."

"Damn it, bro, do you have a girlfriend?"

"No, this is not a rainy day plan."

"..."

Netizens could not forget the true nature of the sand sculpture. They took the gift boxes to say goodbye to Lin Xu, and then left Lin Ji Food.

Wait until the guests are almost gone.

Lin Xu returned to the kitchen, took out the marinated crucian carp, picked out the spicy millet inside, and then placed the fish skin side down on the grilling net one by one.

When filled, hang the grilling net on the grill of the roast duck stove.

After putting all the crucian carp in, he mixed some honey water with maltose and honey, and then applied a layer of honey water on the skin of the crucian carp when it was baked and dried. This would make the crucian carp taste better.

After the crucian carp was grilled, he brought over the marinated fish meat.

Take a piece of kitchen oil-absorbing paper, apply a layer of sesame oil on the surface, scoop out a spoonful of fish breasts, spread it out, put a layer of oil-absorbing paper on it, and use a rolling pin to roll it into thin slices.

After rolling it out, scrape off the excess meat along the edge of the absorbent paper. Hold the absorbent paper with your hands and put it into the baking pan. Remove the absorbent paper on top and put it in the oven for baking.

In addition to the oven, this kind of jerky can also be slowly roasted on charcoal fire.

Wait until the surface of the meat jerky in the oven is slightly dry, brush it with honey water, turn it over, remove the oil-absorbing paper underneath, brush it with honey water, and sprinkle with a layer of white sesame seeds.

Continue to grill over low heat for three minutes, and these fish breasts are ready.

Freshly roasted meat is dry and hard and needs to soften before eating.

In order to make the softening effect better, you can also steam it in a steaming cabinet. After the meat becomes soft, the taste will be stronger and the aroma will be more fragrant.

Unfortunately, before Lin Xu started steaming, the first three pieces of dried fish meat were snatched away by the "Shen Ma Bandit" who came after hearing the news.

"Thank you, Xu Bao. I like eating this kind of dried meat the most."

Shen Baobao took a large piece of dried meat and rolled it up like a Shandongese person eating pancakes rolled with green onions. He opened his mouth and took a bite:

"Wow, isn't the umami flavor too strong?"

Lin Xu looked at the silly girl's eating appearance and couldn't help but said:

"I'd better cut it for you, so that others won't be able to taste it."

He used a knife to cut off the part Shen Baobao bitten to satisfy the girl's craving, and then cut the remaining meat into small cubes about ten centimeters square.

After cutting, put it into a small bamboo basket and let Shen Baobao carry it to the elders to taste.

After finishing these tasks, the crucian carp in the roast duck oven is almost ready.

The surface of these grilled fish has been dehydrated and exudes a rich aroma. The smell makes people want to drink white wine to quench their cravings.

Lin Xu took out the grilling net from inside, first applied a layer of honey water, then turned the fish over, applied another layer of honey water, sprinkled a layer of white sesame seeds, and continued baking in the oven.

While they were busy, Shen Guofu and Lin Hongqi strolled over:

"Xiao Xu, do you still have those dried meats? Your dad and I were robbed before we could even eat them. We still don't know what they taste like."

As he spoke, he smelled the fresh aroma coming from the oven and couldn't help sniffing:

"Why doesn't this grilled fish taste the same as those dried meats?"

"This is the crucian carp I grilled. It's different from the way I cook the jerky."

While talking, Lin Xu opened the roast duck stove, and the fresh fragrance inside suddenly spurted out.

Lin Hongqi and Shen Guofu were intoxicated by the smell, and their alcohol addiction was aroused again.

When Lin Xu took out the grill grid from the stove, the in-laws became even more excited.

The grilled golden crucian carp still exudes an attractive fragrance. The crucian carp looks very appetizing.

Shen Guofu said seriously:

"I heard that there are many parasites in freshwater fish, so it is best to disinfect them before eating them. Let me go and get the remaining half bottle of Wuliangye from upstairs, and we can disinfect them while we eat!"

I suddenly became craving for dried meat while watching a short video last night, so I came up with today’s chapter. I like dried meat very much, but unfortunately I can’t eat it because I have diabetes, so I can only feed my eyes... This chapter has 5290 words. Please vote for me, brothers!
