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

"Xubao, can these stones really be used to make candied chestnuts?"

Baby Shen opened the package, grabbed a handful of black pebbles and started playing with them.

As soon as he heard this tone, Lin Xu knew what this girl was planning.

He smiled and said:

"Yes, and it seems that I can only make sugar-roasted chestnuts, not anything else... It just so happens that new chestnuts are on the market. I will buy a few kilograms of chestnuts and fry them for you to try."

"Can't you make anything else? Can't you make stone buns?"

"The stones used for the stone steamed buns are one size larger than this. They are too small. When making the stone steamed buns, they can easily get stuck in the steamed buns. If you accidentally bite it, you may need to have your teeth filled."

ah?

Shen Baobao originally wanted to make pebble buns, but he didn't expect that he couldn't make them with pebbles. It was such a pity.

"Can we make rice krispies? I saw someone in the video making rice krispies with pebbles."

"The stones used to make rice cakes are two sizes smaller than this, about the same size as rice grains, so they are also called rice stones."

I'm so angry that I can't make what I want to eat.

Lin Xu thought for a while and said:

"Actually, you can make grilled sausages. Isn't the black pepper grilled sausage at the entrance of Uncle Yu's supermarket just placed on a pile of stones? It looks very unique."

"Then I'd better eat roasted chestnuts with sugar."

"Okay, I'll make something for you when I'm done. This is relatively simple. Just put some pebbles and chestnuts in it and some sugar. Just stir-fry it in the pot for a while. It's guaranteed to be fragrant and glutinous."

Chestnuts can be made, but not now, because the lunch rush is coming soon, and Lin Xu has to go up and make fried noodles.

Later, I have to exchange for another teaching and training mission to improve Zhu Yong's technique of making fried noodles, so that he can be freed from fried noodles.

Although fried noodles are popular, other dishes must be cooked as well.

Within five minutes of arriving in the kitchen, the first table of customers arrived, still ordering fried noodles.

The popularity of this staple food has caused a significant drop in the sales of hand-made noodles and braised pork rice in the store, and people don’t dare to prepare too much toppings for fear of having leftovers.

After all, it is a new staple food, so it is normal for it to be popular.

It is estimated that in a few days, the freshness of fried noodles will wear off, and the number of customers eating fried noodles will decrease, and people will choose braised pork rice or hand-made noodles again.

"Boss, how are we going to clean up these stones?"

While he was busy, Chezi came over and pointed at the pile of stones and asked.

How to clean up?

Lin Xu shook the wok to prevent the noodles from sticking to the bottom, and then said:

"Wash the large pebbles and small pebbles separately in the pool several times with detergent. After washing, put them in a pot and boil them. After boiling, just dry them."

This kind of stone may be mechanically polished. When polishing, a layer of machine oil will be applied to the surface to make it smoother. Therefore, it must be cleaned carefully to remove all the machine oil and polished debris.

After washing, boil it again to ensure that the stones are as clean as possible.

Downstairs, after Shen Baobao left with his lunch box, Shu Yun saw Dou Wenjing in the group, Aite Zeng Xiaoqi:

“When are you going to shoot the chow mein video?”

Zeng Xiaoqi sent a come soon emoticon:

"Of course, the sooner the better. I can't wait for the audience to see it."

"Tch, do you want the audience to see it? I'm too embarrassed to point it out to you. Our boss said that if you want to eat fried noodles, just come here without going around in circles. He's been so busy lately that he can't even bother to feed you."

Seeing this, Shu Yun couldn't help but laugh.

Mr. Dou really has something to say.

If you put it like that, Director Zeng wouldn't be able to come even if he wanted to eat.

She thought for a while and liked Zeng Xiaoqi in the group:

"Director Zeng, now that the show is getting more and more popular, I think you should check out the dishes to be photographed in advance to avoid overturning the dishes and betraying the trust of the audience... In addition, our boss will challenge the roasted chestnuts after dinner today. I hope Director Zeng will come to witness this practice.”

Zeng Xiaoqi, who was cursing Dou Wenjing for having her bra cup shrink by three sizes in the TV station office, suddenly brightened up.

Haha, when it comes to talking, it has to be our Shu Yun.

She pretended to be reserved and replied in the group:

"Manager Shu's suggestion is very valuable. After careful consideration, the program team officially adopted it. I'll pack up and go to the store to inspect the fried noodles. Also, please help me change the 32D on a certain group's business card to 32A. Thank you."

Although she was cursed, Dou Wenjing didn't care at all. Her attention was completely attracted by the sugar-roasted chestnuts:

"When are we going to make sugar-roasted chestnuts? Why didn't I know?"

"The decision I just made, the boss bought some stones for making stone-cooked chrysanthemum, and came with a small bag of gravel for making sugar-fried chestnuts, and then the boss's wife got greedy."

Girls have absolutely no resistance to snacks like sugar-roasted chestnuts.

Even Director Zeng, who had always acted like a leader before, said he would eat three kilograms.

While chatting, Zeng Xiaoqi suddenly remembered something:

"Huh? Usually when it comes to food, Mr. Chen will be the first to pop up. What's going on today? 34D, call 34D. Please reply when you receive it!"

At this moment, Chen Yan couldn't care less about chatting with everyone. She was in contact with the person in charge of a travel agency that provides high-end customized routes.

As the National Day approaches, it’s time to take the employees of Happy Media out to relax.

Originally, Chen Yan wanted to go to Yinzhou Longqishan Scenic Area to bring some business to Lin’s parents.

However, after communicating with Chen Meijuan on WeChat, I discovered that the National Day tickets for the scenic spot were actually full, and even limited admission was required.

As for the Cliff Hotel, except for the ones reserved for Shen Guofu, all the rooms were booked, and even the unused B\u0026B area was forced to open early.

Starry Sky Camp is still accommodating, after all, we just need to put up some more tents.

But the capacity also needs to be limited, otherwise there won’t be enough people, it will be too busy, and it will be too noisy, and the idea of ​​sleeping in a tent will be lost.

Unable to go to Yinzhou, Mr. Chen turned his attention to the north.

During the National Day holiday, all the scenic spots are full. Instead of making canned sardines, why not find a big place to run wild?

So she booked a seven-day tour to HLBE.

Ride a horse and see the autumn scenery of the grassland.

If you are lucky, you will encounter frost, and the scenery will be even more unique.

At that time, two more sheep will be roasted, so that the company's anchors can experience the joy of eating roasted whole sheep on the grassland.

As soon as Happy Media left, Xinda Trading, which was a sympathizer with Happy Media, also planned to follow. Together with Yue Liyue and several of his roommates, a mighty tourist team was officially formed.

With so many people, their food, clothing, housing and transportation need to be arranged properly.

Therefore, Mr. Chen, the big boss, shouldered the responsibility without hesitation.

Knowing that everyone was planning a National Day trip, Zeng Xiaoqi was immediately envious:

"I envy you so much. I still don't know how to celebrate the National Day. Baby Shu, do you have any good suggestions?"

Shu Yun said:

"You can go back to your hometown. Didn't hometown fried noodles trigger a wave of people going home during the holidays? Why don't you go home and have a look too?"

"I don't. I am urged to get married every time I go home. I want to be a female elite in the workplace, not a seductress who has 32 dates a day... Forget it, I'd better take a nap. When I wake up, I'll go and have sex with you." drink."

In the store, Yue Liyue, who was having dinner with several roommates, saw the travel itinerary plan that Chen Yan posted in the group, and couldn't help but want to gallop around in a Mongolian robe.

He glanced at his roommates and asked:

"Are you really not going to go? You three, as my assistants, are free of charge."

"We won't go. We plan to catch up on the progress of power leveling. During the National Day holiday, the remuneration is doubled. This kind of job is rare. We can't miss it."

"Yes, making money is important, not traveling."

"Now we just want to make money. If we don't make more, we won't be able to afford Lin Ji's food."

In the past, everyone was urged to work hard by their parents and teachers, but now for the first time, they feel the urging from Linji Food. If you don’t work hard to make money, you really can’t afford Linji’s food.

Yue Liyue did not eat fried noodles today, but braised pork rice.

He took a mouthful of rice with a spoon, his face full of regret:

"Many of the company's clerks are single beauties, and there are also a few young anchors. I originally wanted to introduce you to them, but forget it, being single is fine, so I won't help you make arrangements..."

Before he finished speaking, several roommates shouted as if a switch had been pressed:

"Brother Guangdong, you will be my brother from now on!"

"When I go traveling this time, even if there is a knife coming from the sky, I will still carry the bag for Brother Yue."

"Brother Guangdong, just ask me to serve tea and water from now on!"

Their income is not low, but they are busy day and night, and the only time they socialize is when they come to a restaurant to eat, so let alone falling in love, they have no chance to meet girls.

Although you can meet girls in the game, they are most likely to be picky guys.

Because they themselves also use female accounts in the game.

Every time they see a sweet-talking girl in the game, they can't help but associate it with themselves, and then... nothing happens.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Xu came out of the kitchen with a cup of sour plum soup after finishing his work. He was about to take a rest in the booth when he found Dou Wenjing and Zeng Xiaoqi sitting outside.

He asked curiously:

"Is something wrong?"

Dou Wenjing nodded:

"There is a document that requires your signature."

Zeng Xiaoqi on the side couldn't help but expose her:

"Are you here to sign? I was too embarrassed to point it out to you. As soon as I heard about roasted chestnuts with sugar, I ran over. I was worried that I would eat less. When will you be able to lose weight like this? I am worried about you... …”

She combined Dou Wenjing's words with her parents' words to urge her to get married, and returned it to Mr. Dou.

Wow, it’s so fun to say something so sarcastic.

Lin Xu was immediately happy when he heard this:

"It's not easy to eat roasted chestnuts with sugar. Car boy, go to Uncle Yu's supermarket and weigh a few kilograms of chestnuts. I'll fry them later."

When Uncle Yu came to the store for dinner this morning, he said that he had bought a new batch of chestnuts. Wouldn't this be a good way to support the neighbor's business?

How many pounds?

How many kilograms are not enough to eat?

Zeng Xiaoqi said:

"Buy a little more. Shu Yun said this is her favorite. She can eat five kilograms in one go without stopping."

When she said this, Dou Wenjing also agreed:

"Yes, yes, Shu Yun did say that... By the way, since I'm making sugar-roasted chestnuts, I might as well just take a photo of it, just in time for National Day."

Although the store will not have a holiday during the National Day, the company will be closed.

When the time comes, if he wants to shoot a video, Lin Xu will have to do it himself.

So while the employees are here, take as many videos as you can.

Lin Xu said:

"Okay, let them come, and start preparing when they arrive... Che, buy ten kilograms of chestnuts, remember to pick them up, don't buy bad ones."

You need to pick out the bad fruits before frying chestnuts, otherwise the whole pot of chestnuts will be stained with that sour taste when frying.

Lin Xu sat in the booth and rested for half an hour.

Half an hour later, the camera in the small kitchen was set up and chestnuts were bought. Lin Xu changed into a clean chef uniform and apron and started making.

"Hello everyone, my name is Lin Xu. Today we are making sugar-fried chestnuts!"

After a simple opening remarks, Lin Xu brought over the washed chestnuts, and placed the pebbles that Che had washed and boiled before on the workbench. Adding a bag of soft white sugar, the ingredients for the sugar-fried chestnuts were complete. .

There were too many chestnuts to make in one pot, so Lin Xu separated some of them.

He brought a vegetable pile and began to cut the chestnut.

The so-called knife modification is actually to cut a cross on the flatter side of the chestnut, so that the chestnut shell will crack when heated, which is not only convenient for peeling and eating, but also allows the sweetness of the sugar to enter, making the chestnuts taste more delicious.

Moreover, changing the knife in this way can further filter out the bad fruits.

If the shell turns black or red inside when you cut it open, it is most likely a bad fruit, so just throw it out.

This only requires a few shots, it doesn’t need to be complicated.

After taking the photo, Lin Xu waved to the car driver and a few helpers, and they all changed the knives together.

Soon, these chestnuts were reshaped.

Keep shooting.

Pour the chopped chestnuts into clean water and soak them.

Soaking the chestnuts can help them shell better, and adding some moisture can also prevent the chestnuts from burning during the frying process.

After soaking the chestnuts, Lin Xu brought a large wok and placed it on the stove.

Pour in the stones, turn on the stove, and heat over high heat.

When heating the stones, keep turning them with a spatula to keep the temperature of the stones consistent and avoid uneven temperatures that may cause the chestnuts to burn.

The temperature for frying the pebbles should not be too high. Basically, if you can feel the heat when you place your hand on top of the pebbles, that's about it.

If it's too hot, the chestnuts will explode if you put them in.

Lin Xu took a large colander, took out the soaked chestnuts in the basin, controlled the water slightly and poured it into the pot.

As soon as I put it in, the water on the surface of the chestnut met the hot stones, and a lot of water vapor rose up.

Pour the chestnuts into the pot and stir-fry them constantly with a spatula.

This is a very labor-intensive job. The stones are heavy and the chestnuts are quite big, so it is not easy to stir-fry.

The stalls selling sugar-fried chestnuts on the street use shovels to stir-fry them because it's too laborious to use a spatula.

After flipping through it for a while, Lin Xu felt it was time to show off Lin Ji's gourmet dumplings, so he asked Wei Gan to come over and stir-fry on his behalf.

"This is Wei Qian, the head chef of our Linji Gourmet Kitchen. You must have met him during the last competition, right?"

Wei Qian had lost some weight recently, but his strength had not decreased much. When he picked up the spatula, he flipped it over vigorously, which made Lin Xu a little worried whether the shovel with a wooden handle would break in the middle.

Not long after, the water in the pot was fried dry again, and the chestnuts inside were cracked.

The original cross-cut knife turned into a large cross-shaped opening, and the unique fragrance of chestnuts also wafted out of the pot.

Lin Xu took a small spoon and added two spoons of sugar to it:

"The main purpose of adding sugar is to give the chestnuts a caramel flavor, which makes them more delicious. The sweetness is secondary, because the chestnuts themselves have a sweet aroma, and the taste is not bad even without sugar."

There is no requirement for sugar in this step. You can put white sugar, maltose, or even brown sugar powder.

After two spoonfuls of soft white sugar went down, white steam floated out of the pot again, and the caramel flavor soon rose.

The advantage of using soft white sugar is that it melts quickly and tastes earlier.

After adding the sugar, the surface of the pebbles in the pot immediately gained an oily color, and the chestnuts became even more oily.

Continue to stir-fry until the heat and caramel smell are completely immersed in the chestnuts. This will make the chestnuts more delicious.

When the caramel flavor became stronger and stronger, Lin Xu pinched it out of the pot.

Wei Qian, who was stir-frying on the side, couldn't help but said:

"It's at least over a hundred degrees here, and you actually pinched it right out. You're such a ruthless iron hand."

Lin Xu smiled:

"I dipped my hand in water. If I don't dip my hand in water, my ruthless iron hand will be burned."

Peel off the shell, blow on the rich aroma of chestnuts, and put it in your mouth.

Mmm, smells good!

Fragrant, sweet, pink and waxy.

Not to mention girls like it, boys can’t stop it either.

"How's it going?"

"Okay, turn off the heat."

The two took out the chestnuts and placed them on a tray for a close-up. Zhu Yong asked from the side:

"Boss, don't you always make home-cooked dishes? So many pebbles are not always available at home, and the pebbles take up a lot of cooking. Is there anything more suitable for home cooking?"

this……

Lin Xu thought for a while and said:

"It really does exist. Let's continue taking pictures. One kind of chestnut, two ways to make it. We will all try it later to see which way makes the chestnuts more delicious."

Return to the kitchenette and shoot again.

Take the unused chestnuts that you just cut and put them into a pan. Add water to the pan so that the water is flush with the chestnuts.

Add half a tablespoon of sugar.

Add water to boil, cover and simmer for ten minutes.

After ten minutes, open the lid of the pot. The water in the pot has almost boiled down and the chestnuts have burst. Use a spatula to turn over and continue to stir-fry to further dry out the water and allow the sugar juice to hang evenly on the chestnuts.

The cooked chestnuts have thick syrup hanging on the outside, and they look like candied haws.

"This is the simplest way to make chestnuts. Just boil them in water and use high heat to collect the juice. It's easier than queuing up to buy on the street. You can try it at home. It's absolutely simple."

Walking out of the kitchen carrying the cooked chestnuts, Lin Xuchong said to the people eating chestnuts outside:

"Let's try this chestnut and see if it tastes better when fried with pebbles."

Everyone was attracted when they saw the chestnuts hanging with sugar juice outside. Not to mention the taste, the appearance alone was really good.

After putting down the plate, Lin Xu took a chestnut, peeled it open and put it in his mouth.

This one has a lot more sweetness due to the addition of more sugar.

But the aroma is not as good as that fried with pebbles. This only has the aroma of the chestnut itself. Compared with the dry aroma mixed with caramel aroma of chestnuts fried with pebbles, the gap is obvious.

"Wow! This is so sweet."

"It feels a bit like eating candied haws on a stick."

"If you only want to eat a few, it will definitely be the sugar-coated one. But if you want to watch TV dramas and watch anime for a long time, the Shizi fried one is more delicious."

"It doesn't matter to me. As long as it's chestnut, it won't taste bad."

Lin Xu took a plate and brought some chestnuts roasted with pebbles to one side. Just as he was about to play sheep with the roasted chestnuts, Wei Qian not far away suddenly asked:

"Lin Xu, what are you going to do with the remaining chestnuts? Are you going to make candied roasted chestnuts?"

What's the meaning?

Are you preparing to show off?

Lin Xu asked:

"Do you have any ideas?"

"I want to make some roast pork with chestnuts this afternoon. I'll put chestnuts and pork belly together and roast them. You see..."

"That's right!"

————————

It seems that the chestnuts are coming soon. You can try making them at home. Just add sugar to a pan and cook for ten minutes. However, remember to change the knife when making, otherwise the chestnuts will explode easily.
