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

As soon as Li Qiang's question came out, not only Chen Yan looked like she wanted to make suggestions, but other people also gave their own suggestions.

"Brother Qiang, you can come to Linji to pack some food, so you don't have to cook."

"Don't forget to bring a cup of Ziqiang Shengjian's hot drink to keep her warm all day long."

"Remember to get a haircut and dress up handsomely."

"Yes, you'd better wear formal clothes, and don't forget to buy a bouquet of flowers. Although it's tacky, girls like it."

"..."

Li Qiang was a little surprised:

"I'm just going to fix my computer. How can it be more complicated than going on a blind date?"

Chen Yan made a contemptuous expression:

"If the manager of Tangtang's technical department can't even set up a computer, how many connections did she rely on to become the manager?"

These words suddenly woke up Li Qiang:

"What do you mean? She called me because she wanted to date me?"

Geng Lele jumped out to scare him and said:

"It could also be your waist. Write down brother-in-law Ren's phone number. If it's true, it might be able to save your life."

Li Qiang: "..."

Geng Lele, if you keep doing this, I’ll call Professor Cui.

Li Qiang and Qi Panpan had just watched a movie last weekend, and during the process they wanted to hold hands, but Qi Panpan glared at them with her female boss aura, and Qiang didn't dare to continue.

So this time he went to repair the computer.

As a result, I didn't expect it, but I was suddenly seen clearly by the brothers and sisters in the group.

Chen Yan said:

"Brother Qiang, you can't keep doing this. You have to be tougher. The more she doesn't let her hold her hand, the more you pull her. The more she doesn't let you touch her, the more you hold her and won't let go. Otherwise, you won't be able to take that step in your life."

Zeng Xiaoqi bubbled:

"Tsk, tsk, this is the experience of those who have experienced it."

Chen Yan made a humble expression:

"It's just a little emotion. Let's go eat. There seems to be a new dish at noon today."

She took the elevator downstairs and happened to meet Dou Wenjing coming down from another elevator, so she took Mr. Dou's car to the store.

And the "strategists" in the group are still cheering Brother Qiang on.

When Lin Xu finished his work and was about to have lunch, he casually glanced at the group message and was immediately stunned:

"What's going on with these people? Why do you keep guiding Brother Qiang on the road to crime?"

Shen Baobao said with a smile:

"Brother Qiang's manager Qi asked him to repair the computer. He is straight-minded and really plans to take the CPU and graphics card to work as a repairman. He doesn't understand a girl's mind at all...Xubao, if I asked you to repair the computer when you go to college, What will you bring?”

Lin Xu thought for a while:

"At least bring a piece of eraser gold finger. You don't know, if you don't wipe the gold finger of the computer memory stick, problems can easily occur."

Shen Jiayue:? ? ? ? ? ?

Stinky Xubao, believe it or not, I will deal with you just like Manager Qi dealt with Brother Qiang?

Lin Xu smiled and pinched the girl's face:

"But if I kiss you while I'm repairing the computer, you won't object, right?"

"Objection, one bite is too little, you have to kiss ten!"

After everyone was seated, Wei Gan brought a piece of fried chrysanthemum and a piece of beef tenderloin with parsley.

Chef Guo came all the way, so we can't really let people hold up their chopsticks and not know what to eat. You still have to add more dishes.

Lin Xu took out a piece of chicken liver covered in red oil from a basin full of red oil and put it into his mouth. The spicy taste formed a strong contrast with the tenderness of the chicken liver.

And under the action of fat, the chicken liver becomes very oily, and it even tastes like eating foie gras.

Even Xie Baomin couldn't help but admire:

"Chicken liver tastes really good when you make it this way. It's appetizing and goes well with rice. You should try this stuff too, it's not spicy."

Guo Weidong took a piece and tasted it, and was immediately so spicy that he took two big mouthfuls of rice:

"Why do you have the same moral character as Lao Dai? No dish is spicy in his mouth."

"It's really not very spicy. It's just ordinary chili peppers, without adding devil peppers or king peppers."

Guo Weidong decided not to pay attention to this guy. Instead, he took a mouthful of chrysanthemum and said to Lin Xu while eating:

"Master Lin, I have nothing else to do today. I just want to ask, do you need interns here?"

intern?

Lin Xu was a little surprised:

"You have an apprentice?"

"No, it's because Xinghai felt tired of staying at his own restaurant and didn't want to go to Diaoyutai, so he wanted to come to Linji to join in the fun, but he couldn't bear to say anything."

This is so welcome!

Having a generalist in the store who is even more skilled than Wei Qian is a piece of cake.

"Let him come, and I'll give him the treatment of head chef."

"The treatment doesn't matter. He just wants to find a busy place to hone his cooking skills. I'm just here to say something in advance, in case you disagree."

No, although I have a lot of problems, I never have trouble with money... Lin Xu said with a smile:

"Let him come, let him come. When Xinghai comes, our store will be more fully equipped, and it will become more convenient during peak periods."

He was so happy that he never thought that Guo Xinghai would come.

Let the people in the kitchen give you a grand welcome when the time comes.

After saying that, Lin Xu took a piece of chicken offal and put it into his mouth.

The spicy and sour taste and crisp texture made him subconsciously take a big mouthful of rice in the bowl.

There is a saying that all these spicy and sour dishes are hidden rice killers.

It seems inconspicuous and the presentation is average, but when you take the first bite, you will find that this is not a dish that can be finished with one or two bowls of rice, at least three bowls are the starting point.

"Wow, these beans are sour and crunchy, so delicious. Xu Bao, how about you make me minced beans with minced meat when you have time? They feel delicious too."

"Okay."

While eating, Chen Yan and Dou Wenjing came.

As soon as Shen Baobao saw Sister Yan, he asked:

"Yan Bao, it's your thirtieth birthday this weekend. Just tell me what you want to eat. The head chef will satisfy all your requests."

Chen Yan looked at the dishes on the table, filled a bowl of rice with her and sat down to eat.

She picked out a large piece of tofu skin covered in red oil from the pot of boiling chicken livers and put it in a bowl. She took a big mouthful and said:

"Whatever, after I have a partner, I don't care about these anymore, but the Qingshui Hibiscus that I promised me before is going to be made, and my Ren Jie hasn't seen it yet."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, he's your family before we get engaged? He's so busy, don't have time to attend your birthday party then."

"No, he has been transferred to other shifts these two days, and he specifically wanted to take a day off on his birthday. This guy is just doing it. When the leader talked to him a few days ago, he even specifically mentioned this matter. Now the entire corps knows about me. It’s about my birthday on the 23rd.”

Ren Jie's arm has not healed yet, so he can only do some clerical work temporarily.

Of course, this is what he asked for. He returned to the team after being eliminated for a month, which made him very happy. He kept saying that Chen Yan brought good luck.

Chen Yan felt that if she had not interrupted that day, Ren Jie would not have been eliminated, and so many things would not have happened.

Everything seemed to have been arranged, but now everything is back on track.

Lin Xu said:

"I will prepare a few more dishes for the birthday party the day after tomorrow, and invite everyone to celebrate Sister Yan's birthday together. Then Sister Yan can give a few words of encouragement to single people as a person who has experienced it, so that everyone should not be discouraged."

When Chen Yan heard this, her eyes immediately lit up.

Yes, I can take the opportunity to ridicule Director Zeng, Shu Baobao and Xiaodoudou, and I can also establish my status as the eldest cousin in front of Yuanyuan. It's like killing two birds with one stone!

"Then I'm sorry to bother my brother-in-law. How much will it cost? Just ask Shu Yun to charge it from my card."

Well, this time I won’t let Tiantian swipe the card, and let Shu Baobao do it. Then I will lament how expensive it is to have a boyfriend, and let Shu feel the power of secondary damage.

Just as she was thinking about it, she ate a peppercorn, and she choked and covered her mouth with a tissue and coughed repeatedly.

Shu Yun next to him smiled and said:

"You must be thinking of some bad ideas. Even God can't stand it."

Dundun downstairs turned over, hum! The smelly aunt actually wants to bully the godmother, so I’ll charge some interest first.

The two dishes at noon today are very delicious, especially the boiled chicken liver. Not only is the chicken liver delicious, but the fungus, yuba, tofu skin and duck blood used as the base are also very delicious.

Especially the duck blood, with its tender and smooth texture coupled with the spicy and fragrant taste, the taste is not inferior to that of chicken liver.

The stir-fried chicken offal is also sour, spicy and refreshing, with a crispy and tender texture, making it a great addition to rice.

After lunch, everyone found that they had eaten a lot more.

Several people in the fat-reduction team were discussing not eating in the afternoon to have an empty stomach. As a result, Shen Baobao told them that there would be crispy chicken or boneless crispy chicken in the afternoon. Plans are postponed.

"I think we should wait until Mr. Chen celebrates his birthday before losing weight. Anyway, it won't take more than two days."

"Okay, after my birthday, whoever takes the lead in overeating will have a waistline that is two inches thicker!"

"Thighs are thicker than twice!"

"Skin is two shades darker!"

The most interesting thing about the fat loss team is that they swear the most vicious oaths and eat the most meals.

Every day there is a new fat loss plan, every day is a day of overeating.

This sentence "He who has no ambitions always makes up his mind" is vividly interpreted.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, Lin Xu brought out the chicken that had been marinated for six or seven hours.

Following Xie Baomin's instructions, he took the chicken legs, shook the onion and ginger marinade on the chicken, and then spread all the onion and ginger on the steaming plate.

Then put the chickens upside down one by one on top, with the chicken skin facing up, and the belly of the chicken covered with onion and ginger marinade.

After all twenty tender roosters are arranged, they are put into the steaming cabinet for steaming.

The reason why it is placed like this is so that the flavor of onion and ginger can better penetrate into the chicken.

At almost four o'clock, Xie Baomin drove back.

Xie Yufei got out of the car and asked:

"Dad, is the fried chicken you cook really better than KFC? If not, then next time we have a weekend off, you have to make spicy hot pot for us."

"It's not easy to eat hot pot. You can make it anytime."

The father and son came to the store and saw Geng Lele there. Xie Baomin said:

"Lele, give them some advice on their homework. I'm going to make fried chicken."

As soon as Geng Lele heard about the fried chicken, he immediately became interested:

"No problem, I'll take care of it!"

Coming to the kitchen, Xie Baomin asked:

“How long has the chicken been steamed?”

"Nearly half an hour, 27 minutes."

"Then steam it for a while longer, steam it for forty minutes."

While talking, Xie Baomin set up the wok, put two frying spoons of Sichuan peppercorns and one frying spoon of Sichuan peppercorns into it, placed them on low heat, and slowly roasted them to create the aroma.

"Senior brother, what are you doing?"

"Bake some peppercorn noodles and eat them as a dipping sauce later, and sprinkle some on the chicken by the way."

Crispy chicken originated from Shandong cuisine. The most important way to eat this dish is to eat it with salt and pepper. It is best to bake the salt and pepper freshly, so that it tastes better.

After roasting the peppercorns to get the aroma, add some salt and roast them as well.

When the peppercorns become crispy and crumbly when pinched with your hands, it means they are roasted. Take them out of the pot, let them dry for a while, then place them on the chopping board and crush them.

Then pass it through a small sieve to sift out the evenly textured powder for dipping. Pour the remaining pepper shells into a basin to prepare the marinade for secondary pickling.

Wash some scallions, cut only the white part, into small pieces and put them in a basin.

Stir evenly with the peppercorn shells and it will become onion and pepper seasoning, which is a condiment only used in some old dishes.

After the onion and pepper ingredients were mixed, Xie Baomin took another small basin, put low-gluten flour and potato starch in a ratio of 2:1, added a small spoonful of salt, beat in the eggs, and poured in half a spoonful of cooking oil.

Just stir until thick.

After finishing all this, the chicken in the pot is almost ready to be steamed.

Simmer for a while and take it out from the steamer.

As soon as I opened the door of the steam cabinet, a strong fragrance wafted out from inside.

Wei Gan smiled and said:

"If I made it, the crispy chicken would be directly changed to shredded chicken."

The fresh and rich flavor makes people want to twist off a chicken thigh and taste it.

Xie Baomin said with a smile:

"It will taste ten times better when fried later."

He put a plate on the workbench, sprinkled it with potato starch, and then carefully took out the chicken from the steaming plate and placed the chicken skin side down on the plate.

After sorting out the shape a little, start removing the bones.

Lin Xu followed suit. He had already removed the backbone before steaming. Now he only needed to remove the finely chopped ribs and remove the bones from the leg bones and chicken wing roots.

After all the bones are removed, grab a large amount of green onion and pepper and sprinkle it on the surface of the chicken, spread it evenly, and then add the prepared whole egg batter.

Spread the batter completely on the chicken, put it on a larger plate, and flip it over with the skin side of the chicken on top.

Put the dry starch on the original plate and cover the chicken skin all over.

When the oil is 60% hot, carefully slide the whole chicken into the pot with the plate in hand and start frying.

At this time, the batter is all hanging on the chicken. If you move it a little, the batter will separate from the chicken, so be sure not to move it. Keep frying until the whole chicken becomes like a fried cake, and then turn it over carefully.

Turn over to the front and fry for a while until the outer shell is hard and then it's ready to be taken out of the pan.

Take the fried chicken out of the pot and place it on the chopping board where you can cut cooked food. The aroma will penetrate your nostrils.

The whole chicken turned into a golden flatbread. Xie Baomin took a kitchen knife and cut it up. There was a crisp "click" sound, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"It feels so good to hear the sound."

"Yes, Kakasu. Let's try two more pieces later."

"Chef Xie, can I do this?"

Xie Baomin first cut the whole chicken in half, and then divided it into strips. Every time he cut it, everyone's hearts fluttered. The crunching sound was so tantalizing.

After cutting it, he said while putting it on the plate:

"Old chicken can also be used, but you cannot steam it. Instead, boil it for one hour and then soak it for two hours to make the chicken tender and taste more delicious."

After putting it on the plate, he did not serve it immediately. Instead, he carved the tomatoes into a rose and decorated it on the plate.

Pair it with a plate of pepper and salt, and the dish is ready.

"I'll give you the next one. I have to establish my image as a father first."

Xie Baomin took the fried chicken and hurriedly left the kitchen. Soon, Xie Yufei and Xie Yuhang's exclamations sounded outside.

Apparently, the fried chicken was an eye-opener for the brothers.

"This is much better than KFC's fried chicken."

"Dad, your craftsmanship is great!"

The brothers' exclamations were also mixed with Geng Lele's shaking voice:

"Come on, come on, crispy chicken, the meat inside is still soft and delicious. It's the first time I eat such fragrant fried chicken. I declare that crispy chicken will be my destiny chicken from now on!"

In the kitchen, Lin Xu listened to the screams outside, smiled, slid the chicken he had prepared into the oil pan and started frying.

When Xie Baomin walked in with a face filled with relief, one side of the fried chicken in the pot had already been fried, and the skin side was being fried.

"Junior brother learns very quickly."

"It's my senior brother who taught me meticulously. I'm just trying to draw a gourd."

Lin Xu stood in front of the oil pan, ladling hot oil in the pan and pouring it on the chicken and asked:

"Brother, besides chickens, can ducks also be fried like this?"

"Yes, that's how crispy duck is made. But duck is best cooked, because duck meat is not easy to steam through, and the cooked duck meat will be softer."

Since duck can do it, Lin Xu plans to give it a try.

Xie Baomin said:

“Actually, for duck, it’s better to make it into Babao gourd duck. Take off the bones of the duck, stuff the eight treasure stuffing into the abdominal cavity, make it into a gourd shape, fry it first and then steam it in a pot. The resulting duck will be crispy and fragrant. Delicious. Of course, you can also steam it first and then fry it, so that it will be crispy on the outside and soft and waxy on the inside.”

Fried and steamed, steamed and fried, the order of the two methods is opposite, and the taste is completely different.

When Lin Xu heard this, he planned to try them one by one.

Winter is long, and it’s time to make some more labor-intensive dishes to pass the time.

Not long after, the second chicken was fried. Lin Xu took it out of the pot, braised it for oil control and put it on the chopping board. Following Xie Baomin's example, he first cut the chicken in half and then divided it into strips.

Arrange them neatly on the plate, carve a flower out of a green radish and garnish it next to it.

After finishing all this, he was about to pinch a piece and taste it when the system prompt sounded in his mind:

"The host has successfully made a crispy chicken above the excellence level, and the progress of the side task [Re-engraving a Classic] will be +1. The host only needs to make the crispy kelp to complete the task and get the reward."

Yo, is this an excellent level?

Lin Xu was a little surprised. He looked at it with his discriminating eyes and saw that it was really outstanding.

Pinch a piece of chicken into your mouth, take a bite, and make a crunching sound.

The crispy texture is particularly relaxing. The texture of the two sides of the chicken is slightly different. One side is crispy and the other is crispy. The chicken inside is soft, juicy and delicious.

The combination of several flavors is not only delicious, but also very stress-relieving.

When eating, dip the plate into the salt and pepper. The numbing aroma and salty taste of the salt will perfectly complement the umami flavor of the chicken and make it more tender.

"It's delicious. No wonder Yuhang and Yufei like it. Even adults like me can't stand it, let alone children."

Lin Xu ate another piece, and the more he ate, the more delicious it became.

"Come and have a taste. This one won't be served outside. We can eat it ourselves."

The most delicious part of other chicken is chicken legs and wings, but because this dish is made of one batter and one flour, the best part of the dish is the back of the chicken.

It's crispy and crispy with a thin layer of meat sandwiched in between, which makes it extremely tasty.

“It’s delicious this way.”

"It's so crispy, I can't believe it."

"Chef Xie, it's a bit troublesome to debone this kind of chicken. If you don't debone it, how will it taste when fried?"

"It's delicious too. I'll fry two boneless ones for you to try later."

While everyone was eating, Li Qiang, who had finished the morning shift today, came out of the barber shop and planned to go to Linji to buy some food and drink, and two hot drinks, and then take a taxi to Manager Qi's house to repair his computer!
