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

In the private room upstairs.

After Chen Yan had filled everyone's silver bream soup, everyone picked up their bowls, scooped up a small spoonful of it with a small spoon and put it into their mouths.

Then, everyone was stunned.

"The taste and texture are worthy of silver bream soup!"

"After one sip, I feel as if I have returned to the banquet of the ancient literati."

"It's no wonder that people in the Tang and Song Dynasties kept writing poems to praise it."

"This delicious taste is indeed worth writing poems and articles about."

"After tasting this soup, I finally understand why Sun Yue'e complained. The hair-like fish shreds in it have to be cut out one by one, how laborious it is."

“The owner of this store is really good at his craftsmanship!”

"..."

There were endless compliments, and everyone tasted it a few more times, and the topic turned from the silver bream soup to the bream.

Ren Chongmo said:

"In the Tang Dynasty, bream was a delicacy enjoyed by princes and nobles. The literati at that time could only taste it by attending the banquets of wealthy families, and flattery was often seen in poems. In the Song Dynasty, it became an exclusive treat for literati and elegant people, and bream was often used to describe their mood. By the Yuan and Ming dynasties, it became the exclusive preserve of down-and-out scholars, which shows that gourmet food has always been developed from top to bottom.”

Geng Lishan pointedly commented:

"Princes and nobles are all temporary, and literati cannot escape the turbulence of the current situation. Only by living among the people can delicious food be spread."

Professor Xu asked:

"Mr. Tateyama is a master of gourmet food. Is this bream soup really a lost dish?"

Geng Lishan took a sip of the soup, nodded and said:

"Silver bream soup has indeed been lost. This soup needs to be cooked with stock. This alone limits its development among the people. However, bream is still available today."

Seeing that everyone was a little confused, Geng Lishan introduced to everyone the places where bream food is still preserved.

Basically, the two lakes, Guangxi and Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan regions have the tradition of using bream to preserve food.

However, the cooking method of bream has been greatly changed according to local characteristics, which is completely different from what is recorded in the book.

Food is always moving forward.

In the 1980s, who would have thought that Sichuan cuisine would develop from a variety of dishes and flavors to a situation where spicy food is the only one in just a few decades?

In the kitchen downstairs, Lin Xu, who originally planned to use the soup waste, looked at the empty soup basin and said with a smile:

"This is a soup for boiling shredded fish. Don't you think it's salty?"

Wei Gan said:

"It's a bit salty, but it tastes delicious!"

"I'll cook some more fish later. It's quite enjoyable."

"That's right, this soup can be sold as a high-end dish in our store. Regardless of the allusion and taste, customers will definitely rush to try it."

Lin Xu said:

"Now is not a good time to make fish bream. It needs to be made with lotus leaves in April or May of the lunar calendar. The taste will be more fragrant."

After saying that, he ordered the car boy:

"Let's buy some carp, grass carp and Spanish mackerel later, and use these fish to make some bream."

"Okay boss."

After saying this, Lin Xu left the kitchen and went to the roast duck stove.

When I opened the oven door, a delicious aroma immediately wafted out.

"Wow, what's baked in it? It smells so good."

Lin Xu turned his face, saw Shen Baobao behind him, and said:

"I cut some kippers and baked them over low heat for half an hour. Let's see how they look now. Do you want to try them?"

"Of course I do. I didn't even have lunch just now, so I just wanted to try your craftsmanship. Seeing how much I support your work, do you want to reward me?"

Lin Xu smiled and took out the grill net hanging from the grill.

The white fish fillets that were originally spread on top are now roasted to a golden brown, exuding a charming aroma, which includes the umami flavor of fish and the unique salty aroma after fermentation.

All in all, it smells great and is very appetizing.

He picked up a piece, blew on it, tore off a strip and put it in his mouth.

After being grilled over charcoal fire, the fish tastes more chewy, but it is not as moisture-free as dried fish, but has a bit of freshness and tenderness.

It is tender and has the unique saltiness of pickled fish.

This flavor, coupled with the special aroma brought by the fruit charcoal grilling, makes the texture and taste of the fish reach a very graceful state.

tasty!

He tore off another piece and was about to taste it again when Baby Shen snatched it away.

"Be careful, it's hot."

"Wow, it's delicious. This fish is so delicious when grilled. It's fragrant, fresh and chewy. It feels even more delicious than dried fish."

This is the benefit of fermentation.

It can make the ingredients get a purer umami taste.

After Shen Baobao finished eating one piece, he took the piece from Lin Xu's hand:

"I really want to drink beer after eating... Even I want to drink. Others will definitely want it more. Xu Bao, why don't we introduce something new in the store? Grilling a plate like this is called ancient grilled fish. What do you think? How's it going?"

Lin Xu originally wanted to stop making trouble.

But then I thought about it, and the store really lacked a grilled dish to go with drinks.

The production of this kind of fish bream is not too troublesome and can be mass-produced.

For example, wrap the fish in glutinous rice, make a large bamboo basket, put one layer of fish and one layer of straw in it, and then put it in a warm place. After a few days, the fish bream will be officially ready.

It can be fully supplied for use in the store.

Thinking of this, Lin Xu hugged Baobao Shen and kissed him:

"Thank you for the reminder. I will start making fish bream in the afternoon. When it is ready, we will sell it in the store. This kind of fish is a gap in the catering industry. There is no reason why we can't make money from it."

After saying that, he carried the baking pan to the kitchen, preparing to put a plate and send it upstairs for everyone to try.

Baby Shen who is eating fish:? ? ? ? ?

"Stop! I'll run away after the kiss. Can you run away?"

The girl came over, hugged her neck and kissed her twice, then let go of Lin Xu who was dumbfounded.

The shrinkage of the grilled fish, coupled with the structural problems of the fish body, formed the shape of commas. Lin Xu placed the fish meat on the plate, with the tips of the commas facing outward and the fish meat inside, forming the shape of a fire wheel.

Finally, cut a few slices of white radish, shape it into an orchid shape and place it in the middle of the plate. After simply shaping it, let the waiter serve it.

As for the rest, it was divided into two portions. One portion was kept in the kitchen for everyone to taste, and the other portion was taken out for Shen Baobao who wanted to drink beer.

By the way, I also let Shu Yun and the others try it. After all, this kind of ancient grilled fish will be served in the future. Let everyone taste it so that it can be introduced to customers.

In the private room upstairs.

When the professors who were drinking saw the grilled fish bream being served, their interest was completely aroused.

Tian Qinglan took a bite and said with a smile:

"No wonder Wang Wei said in his poem, 'If the fish and bream from Jiangxiang are not sent, the people of Qin will not be able to make soup cakes.' When I read it before, I was always curious about how delicious the fish and bream would make Lao Shaan unable to eat noodles. , I didn’t know until I tasted it today that it tastes really salty and delicious. Once you’re used to it, you really can’t live without it.”

Professor Xu took a sip of Huadiao wine:

"People in the Tang Dynasty really loved fish bream to the core. For example, Pi Rixiu wrote a poem: 'Drinking bamboo leaves is the color of nectar, and lotus bream is the fragrance of meat.' Bai Juyi also wrote, 'Wrap fish bream on lotus leaves, and when it is in the stone canal, Soaking wine bottles', that sounds so cozy."

Ren Chongmo said:

"It's really pleasant to serve grilled fish in lotus leaves with ice-cold wine in the canal in the summer. But I prefer what Ma Zhiyuan wrote in "Nanlu Golden Character Classic": "The white snow is flying, and the lotus leaves are fragrant. In the windy season, when catkins are flying all over the sky, a down-and-out scholar carries the bream he just bought home for dinner, and his cheerful mood is vividly reflected on the page."

Listening to everyone's familiarity with ancient poetry, Chen Yan, who was sitting at the door, felt like she had a fake master's degree.

The professors are so knowledgeable that they can even memorize some unpopular poems so clearly.

However, they are the ones who are the most knowledgeable. I just think it tastes delicious... Mr. Chen took a bite of the grilled fish. The more he ate, the more delicious it became, especially the strong taste and the burnt aroma on the surface, which made people want to pick up the wine glass and sip. One mouthful.

It's a pity that the little policeman hasn't come back from his business trip, otherwise he would definitely have his mouth watering after putting a plate on the table.

I don’t know what he’s busy with on a business trip... Come back soon, I’m still waiting to surrender to you. If I don’t come back, I’ll run away in fear of crime!

While he was thinking wildly, Tian Qinglan next to him said:

"If Xiao Chen likes this kind of occasion, I will call you at gatherings in the future. Not many young people nowadays are willing to learn this. They all like fast food culture and have completely forgotten traditional culture."

I also forgot everything... Chen Yan said with a smile:

"Okay, okay, I won't disturb everyone, right?"

"No, no, we hope that more and more young people will participate in this kind of chat."

Since her husband couldn't give lectures, he has been free and sulky. Tian Qinglan felt that it would be much better if he could invite a group of young people to chat regularly.

When Chen Yan saw that Tian Qinglan had finished the silver bream soup in her bowl, she stood up and helped her fill another bowl.

The gray-haired professor was extremely happy:

"Thank you, Xiao Chen. I didn't expect today that there is a restaurant that can make historical soup. It tastes really good."

Chen Yan smiled:

"In terms of cooking, even the head chef of Diaoyutai's state banquet admires my brother-in-law. When you are not busy, I will take you to the staff meal in the store. All the dishes sold in the store are selected from the staff meal."

Tian Qinglan looked forward to it when she heard it:

"Okay, then I, an old woman, will shamelessly eat and drink with you."

"What an old lady, Professor Tian, ​​you are still young."

The more the two chatted, the more they became interested.

In a small coastal town thousands of miles away, Ren Jie was lying quietly on a hospital bed, taking an IV drip.

The injury to his arm was not serious, but he had to undergo a minor operation to deal with it. In addition, he also had soft tissue contusions caused by several falls, so Sui Fusheng asked him to lie down in the hospital.

There is no need for Ren Jie to participate in the rest of the interrogation and other tasks. He can just rest in peace and recover while waiting to receive the award.

While he was bored, Sui Fusheng opened the door and walked in with a dinner plate.

His eyes were bloodshot, but he was in good spirits:

"Xiaojie, you have done a great job. The man you injured at the door of the container is a wanted criminal active in the central region. He is carrying more than ten lives on his back. This time he and the kidnapper planned to go out to sea together to sneak into the sea. Unexpectedly, they all lost their lives. It’s in your hands.”

Sui Fusheng was extremely happy.

The apprentice he led not only successfully caught the kidnapper, but also helped capture a wanted criminal with more than ten lives on his back.

What's even more remarkable is that both of them are alive and well. After preliminary treatment, the interrogation will be officially started to see if other cases can be uncovered.

After the Haidian detachment received the letter in the morning, they immediately sent another team to support and prepare to dig deeper.

Ren Jie's single-handed capture of the two criminals has also been reported, and the reward is a certainty.

After raising the hospital bed and placing the small table, Sui Fusheng placed the dinner plate on it and said with a smile:

"They say what you eat will make up for it. The cola chicken wings and soybean stewed pork knuckles specially made for you by the hospital cafeteria are all supplements. Eat them while they are hot."

Ren Jie smiled, took a bite of the chicken wings with chopsticks, and asked curiously:

"Why didn't the wanted criminal show up when I knocked down the kidnapper? If I had been shot at the door, I would have fallen to the ground."

"Those two people also don't trust each other, and they both want to kill each other and take advantage of others, so you take advantage of them."

After talking about official matters, Ren Jie became melancholy again:

"Captain, what do you think my parents should do if they really don't accept the little cook? She is not from the capital, has no education, and I think she is at least 27 or 28 years old. She is good-looking...you think my parents will Don’t you think I’m superficial?”

Sui Fusheng smiled and said:

"You should first see if people dislike you for being a criminal police officer... And just because you can't talk to your parents doesn't mean that she can't either. Maybe she has a closer relationship than you and your parents. Eat quickly and take a good rest. Don't He still had his arms hanging when he came back to commend me."

Half past twelve noon.

While everyone was busy working and studying step by step, Lin Xu's personal account suddenly updated a video with a very tempting title:

"Are you criticized for saying you drink too much hot water? Then try this can of snacks to keep your sweetheart warm all winter long! 》

As soon as the news was updated, netizens flocked to it.

"What the hell, a certain red book has just warmed her up all day long, and now Boss Lin is here to warm her up all winter?"

"The case is solved, this is the soft cover of the heater!"

"I just want to know if Dundun appears on the scene. If not, I plan to send some souvenirs to Boss Lin."

"Add one and I'll send it too. As a Dundun fan, I don't like any kind of food (呲呲)"

"I really want to see the scene of Dundun playing the piano. I'll let my cat watch it a few more times, and maybe he will awaken his powers... Hehe, it's time for the pets to curl up."

"Good guy, the situation upstairs suddenly opened up."

"..."

Before watching the video, netizens became active in the comment area.

After clicking on the video, everyone discovered that there was actually a detailed recipe for making ginger candy.

"Damn, this is my favorite!"

“I love ginger candies the most, so I’m wondering if they can get new ones in the store?”

"I hope Boss Lin can open an online store to take care of fans from other places. We really can't travel to the capital again and again."

"Yes, yes, boss Lin, let's open an online store, even if it doesn't include free shipping."

store.

Lin Xu, who was standing in front of the service counter and feeding Dundun some duck breast, smiled and said after listening to Shu Yun's feedback:

"Don't be in a hurry when opening an online store. All our snacks are homemade without any additives. What will happen after express delivery?"

It's okay to say it's cold now, but if it were summer and the temperature in the express container was so high, it might get moldy.

Moreover, the store’s production capacity is limited, so we should focus on offline customers first.

As for online stores and the like, it won’t be too late to tinker with them later when you have the ability.

Today's duck meat is made by Zhuang Yizhou. Cut the duck breast into thin slices and blanch it in a pot before serving.

The meat is relatively tender and moist.

Dundun ate very happily. After eating a few mouthfuls, he ran to Lin Xu and rubbed it a few times, looking very happy.

After listening to Lin Xu's words, Shu Yun sent a message to Dou Wenjing:

"The boss said there is no guarantee of food safety, so we won't do it for the time being. You can ask people from the operations department to make announcements."

Just as he was talking, the fishmonger in the market came to deliver fish.

"Hello, Boss Lin. According to your request, I got a total of 80 carp weighing four or five kilograms, as well as bamboo baskets and straw. I also brought them for you... Are you planning to make something delicious? ?”

Lin Xu rubbed Dundun's big head and said with a smile:

"I'm going to pickle some fish and make grilled fish. It won't be ready until next week. Then I'll send you a WeChat message to invite you to eat. I'll make sure you haven't eaten it anywhere else."

"Hey, then I have to taste it."

Not long after, the truck driver came out of the elevator dragging a flatbed truck.

Seeing Lin Xu, he said:

"Boss, the glutinous rice has been steamed. Do you need to throw away the ones you picked off the fish before?"

"No, mixing it into new glutinous rice later can speed up the formation of mold."

The driver and the fishmonger rushed all the fish to the kitchen, and then brought up bamboo baskets and bundles of straw.

By the time everything was done, Dundun had finished eating the duck meat and was squatting on the service table washing her face seriously.

Lin Xu didn't disturb it and went upstairs with the plate.

Wash it with detergent and put it in a cabinet specially designed for tableware. Then he went to the kitchen and looked at the several pots of big fish in the big iron plate on the floor and said:

"Those who are not busy or have no work to do come here to kill the fish. All carp scales, swim bladders, roe, livers, intestines, etc. are packed in categories."

When you usually slaughter one or two fish, it doesn’t matter whether you want these internal organs and fish scales or not.

But with so many fish, it would be a waste if we throw them away.

They are all top quality ingredients and can be sold for money.

Ma Zhiqiang came over, rolled up his sleeves and started killing fish.

He asked while working:

“Boss, are these fish scales going to be made into spicy fish scales?”

Lin Xu shook his head:

"No, let's make fish scale jelly. It's getting cold. It's time to make some various jelly to enrich the cold dishes in the store."

Fish scale jelly?

Everyone is already interested.

It is said that fish scale jelly is a more delicate and delicious dish than pig skin jelly, beef tendon jelly, and chicken feet jelly. I didn’t expect that the boss would make this dish. It would be a treat.

After Lin Xu finished speaking, he took his mobile phone and sent Shu Yun a message:

"I'll inform you that some new dishes will be available in the store for a limited time today, including boiled fish maw, oil-soaked fish liver, stir-fried fish intestines, and dry pot fish roe..."

Shu Yun swallowed hard:

"Okay boss, I'll start sending messages to the customer group right now!"
