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

Chapter 374 Can birthday gifts also match the theme? Happy 30th birthday, Mr. Chen! 【Additional upda

"welcome!"

Shen Baobao, who was wearing a Cerebellum Ax one-piece pajamas, opened the door and saw Ren Jie carrying a box of imported fruits and two live sea fish, and asked curiously:

"Come here, why do you bring food? Are you afraid that there won't be enough food?"

Chen Yan said:

"Your brother-in-law doesn't think it's appropriate to come empty-handed. The fruit is for you two and the fish is for Dundun...Dundun, come and let your aunt hug you and eat our fish. You must keep your uncle safe and sound." "

Dundun: "..."

Good guy, that’s such a big request for two fishes.

It’s okay if you don’t want to eat this fish!

The little guy snorted and continued to eat his tuna.

Ren Jie smiled and said:

"Still as cold as ever."

He put on his slippers, stretched out his hand to rub Dundun's head, and then raised the two fish in his hand in front of Dundun:

"This is a live fish, honey, are you really not interested?"

Dundun glanced at it and was immediately attracted by the two fish in the bag.

The little guy raised his hand and hit the fish on the head through the plastic bag. The fish inside suddenly swung wildly, and Dundun wagged his tail happily, as if he had discovered a fun game.

In the kitchen, Lin Xu learned that Chen Yan and Ren Jie were coming, so he used the ingredients at home to make an emergency dish of three-shredded fried beans, pan-fried fish bream and braised mutton.

Three-threaded fried beans is a typical Northeastern snack. It is made by mixing fried peanuts and coriander and onion shreds with sugar, salt and chili evenly, then adding fried potato shreds.

The dish mixed in this way has crispy peanuts, crispy potato shreds, and full of freshness on onions and coriander.

Coupled with the sweet, sour and spicy taste, it makes people have endless aftertaste.

In the Northeast, this is a classic old dish, but there are not many restaurants where you can eat it, because this dish is too troublesome. The shredded potatoes must be freshly fried, and they must be served quickly after frying and mixing well, otherwise the shredded potatoes will be Will soften.

The more demanding ones also require that the shredded potatoes must be fried in new oil without any fried ingredients, so that the color will be good.

It's so troublesome, and it's just a cold dish. The effort is not proportional to the income, so naturally fewer and fewer restaurants are willing to make it.

The ingredients are limited tonight, and there are some coriander stalks and onion shreds left over from the stir-fried roast lamb I just made, so I just took them with me to avoid wasting ingredients.

As for the fish bream, it is readily available because this pickled fish can be stored in the refrigerator for a long time.

Cut it into thin slices and fry it in hot oil to bring out the flavor of the fish bream, and it goes well with wine.

To stir-fry mutton, remove the fascia from the unused mutton spine and cut it into thin slices, and blanch it with hot water until it is cooked through.

Put it into a basin, pour in the remaining sesame sauce from making sesame sauce pancakes, then add minced green onions, garlic and onions and cilantro. Finally, add minced garlic and chili noodles, pour it with hot oil, stir evenly, and it will make people instantly happy. Experience the joy of boiling mutton.

It's even more enjoyable than eating mutton boiled, because the mutton is full on a big plate, and it's much more enjoyable to eat than mutton cooked with chopsticks one at a time.

Several dishes were placed on the dining table. Lin Xu looked at Ren Jie and asked:

"Brother-in-law, what are you drinking?"

"Let's have some beer, but I can't drink more. I have to go to work tomorrow, so I can have a day and a night off the day after tomorrow."

Lin Xu took out two bottles of dark beer from the refrigerator.

After opening it, I poured two glasses.

Chen Yan couldn't drink because she had to drive, so she took a bite of the sesame seed cake, and her eyes suddenly filled with little stars:

"Yes, these are sesame sesame pancakes. The ones I just ate at the barbecue restaurant were frozen semi-finished products. They didn't taste like sesame sauce and were not crispy."

She followed Shen Baobao's example, tearing the sesame seed cakes open from the middle and stuffing some fried roast mutton inside. To prevent greasiness, she also stuffed some three-wire fried beans into it.

After filling it up, I took a bite of the sesame cakes with both hands. The crispiness of the sesame cakes and the rich aroma of sesame sauce, coupled with the fragrance of the dishes, made Mr. Chen regret eating barbecue immediately after one bite.

It would have been nice to drive here directly and save myself from eating a lot of synthetic products.

The sesame cakes are semi-finished, and the meat is most likely synthetic meat. Relatively speaking, Lin Ji's food can be eaten with confidence.

Although the price is a bit higher, there is no fraud, and the ingredients are used as they should be, and there is no fraud or ruthless technology.

Ren Jie took a bite of the fried roast mutton made by Lin Xu and said to Chen Yan:

"It's indeed much better than the barbecue we eat. Come to Lin Xu, let's go one by one."

His arm was no longer hanging, but it was still wrapped with gauze and he couldn't use force. Even when he was holding the cup, he put down his chopsticks and touched Lin Xu with his right hand.

This is not because he is being pretentious, but because he wants the gunshot wound to heal quickly.

Now the boss takes care of him and just does some back office work. But as a criminal police officer, he can't just do back office work. He has to be involved in the case.

The weather is getting colder, and various cases in the capital have reached a peak period.

Because compared to summer, there are fewer people on the streets in winter, and the doors and windows of every house are closed and relatively soundproof. Even if criminals make some noise, they will not attract the public's attention.

And as the New Year approaches, criminals will take risks and prepare for a big fight.

"The capital is so safe, but are there so many criminals?"

Shen Baobao's question made Ren Jie happy:

"There are so many, and fugitives from other places always like to come to the capital to push, especially those who have given up hope in life and the future. They always want to come to the capital to do something big... Before and after the National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival, the light railway The police have arrested 20 or 30 fugitives, and the previous Hundred Days Operation arrested more than 100 fugitives."

In addition to fugitives, there are more thefts, robberies and other criminals and gangs that need to be uncovered by Ren Jie and his colleagues.

"Thank you for your hard work, brother-in-law. Let's leave one more."

Lin Xu and Ren Jie clinked their glasses again, then tasted the mutton mixed with soy sauce. The taste was surprisingly good.

Especially the mutton covered in sesame sauce, when mixed with the hot chili oil, the taste is so satisfying.

"Brother-in-law, did you put soy tofu in this sesame sauce?"

"Yes, when I mixed the mutton, I mixed some soybean curd into the sesame sauce. Unfortunately, I don't have chive sauce at home, otherwise the taste of this dish would be even more perfect."

The soy sauce tofu can enrich the aroma of sesame sauce, while the chive sauce can bring out the umami flavor of the mutton.

This is also an essential ingredient when eating hotpot mutton.

"It's already delicious. By the way, what are your plans for the future, brother-in-law? I plan to learn how to make sesame biscuits from you and make them by myself in the future. I will never eat those frozen products again."

After my sister-in-law found a partner, she became more and more like a good wife and mother.

Lin Xu said:

"After your birthday, I have to go to Diaoyutai to learn ramen for a few days. By the way, I will follow Mr. Qiu in Building 6 to learn the eight-treasure gourd duck, soft pocket long fish and other dishes. At the end of the month, senior brother will also make a dish created by my master. Dishes... let’s wait until all these things are done, I won’t be able to spare much time in the near future.”

"Master's homemade dish? Is it difficult to have water hibiscus?"

Baby Shen became interested as soon as he heard about the homemade dishes.

"Clear water hibiscus is not worth mentioning in front of that dish. It is a dish that requires extremely high requirements for both Bai and Hong. Even my senior brother can't make it. We have to cooperate with Chef Yin in Building No. 12. "

When Lin Xu said this, the other three people all showed surprised expressions.

Even the most powerful head chef at Diaoyutai can't make it. This must be such a difficult dish.

"Can I make it and sell it new in the store?"

"Definitely not. Regardless of whether Diaoyutai allows it or not, how many people can afford it if the cost is so high?"

A few people continued to eat and drink, finishing all four dishes, and only two sesame sauce pancakes were left.

After eating and drinking, Chen Yan took Ren Jie back, while Lin Xu carried the sleeping Dundun to his room, covered him with a small blanket, and then went back to the master bedroom with Baby Shen, washed up and went to bed.

Sunday afternoon.

Chen Yan's birthday party finally arrived.

Lin Xu hung the roasted whole lamb ordered by Chen Yan on the oven early, and then began to pack the two large herrings sent by Lao Huang.

Today's dishes are very comprehensive. In addition to roasted lamb and roasted suckling pig, there are also dishes such as roasted water and five-spice smoked fish that everyone has been craving for since last time.

Chen Yan wore the same couple's sweatshirt, couple's jeans, and couple's casual shoes as Ren Jie, with a posture of "I will spread the dog food even if the king of heaven comes."

"We want to eat delicious food, not dog food!"

Single dog Zeng Xiaoqi had been waiting for a table in the store early. When she saw the couple going upstairs, she suddenly felt that the originally fresh air had a sour smell.

When Chen Yan saw Director Zeng, she immediately came over:

"Little Qiqi, what gifts have you prepared for your sister?"

Zeng Xiaoqi took out a box from her bag:

"Open it yourself."

Chen Yan was just joking, but she didn't expect that Zeng Xiaoqi actually prepared a gift, and it was packed in a wooden box, which looked very delicate.

She thanked her and opened it immediately, a hint of surprise flashed across her face.

Inside the box was actually a set of clay sculptures, and the content was of a little policeman standing in front of a pancake stall, communicating with a woman wearing a chef's uniform and a chef's hat.

At this glance, you can tell that it is the scene of meeting Ren Jie for the first time.

"Thank you, little Qiqi, this gift is great."

Chen Yan hugged Zeng Xiaoqi and held up the box for Ren Jie to see. Ren Jie was also very surprised:

"The sculpture looks like it. Is this what you made, Director Zeng?"

"No, I asked a master clay sculptor to help me make it. He was worried about overturning the car, so he specifically asked for a photo of you two. How about it? Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, satisfied, I'm so satisfied."

While they were chatting, the little mushroom-headed Geng Lele walked upstairs holding a square gift box.

"Hello sister Xiaoqi, hello brother-in-law Ren, happy birthday to sister Yan! I used my spare time to make you a small gift, don't dislike it."

Just as she was about to hand over the gift she had prepared, she accidentally saw the clay sculpture in Chen Yan's hand and immediately asked curiously:

"Who prepared this?"

Zeng Xiaoqi pointed at herself:

"Me!"

"Okay, Sister Xiaoqi, you actually copied my idea!"

Geng Lele opened the box in her hand. Inside was a steel plate with a painting engraved on it, which was the scene of Chen Yan buying pancakes.

Although it is a flat painting, the carving is very high-end.

"I asked my godfather to help me compile the program. I didn't expect that Sister Xiaoqi would take the lead."

Chen Yan looked at the steel plate in surprise. The scenes carved on it were lifelike, and even the facial expressions were very expressive.

Although there is a clay sculpture by Zeng Xiaoqi in front of it, the carvings on this steel plate are still beautiful, and it feels cool to the touch and is thick in weight, as if it will not rust or change color in another hundred years.

"Although the idea was stolen, I still want to say that I wish Sister Yan a happy birthday and be eighteen forever. I also hope that the love between you and Brother-in-law Ren will be like this high-density steel plate and never rust!"

"Thank you Lele, I like this gift very much."

After taking the steel plate painting, Chen Yan planned to put it on her desk.

It looks so classy, ​​it's carved from a steel plate. If you want to put this on display, don't you envy others to death?

It would be nice to have a girl who learns programming.

Next, other people arrived one after another, and the gifts prepared basically revolved around the theme of "little policeman and little chef".

It's not that everyone's gifts are in conflict, it's mainly that for Chen Yan, this incident is too memorable, so everyone prepared gifts from this aspect.

By the time it gets dark, almost everyone has arrived.

Chen Yuejin and his wife took Ren Jie to greet them as soon as they came in, while Professor Ren and his wife circled around their daughter-in-law.

When the banquet started, the adults took out the birthday gifts they had prepared.

Shen Guofu prepared a gold brick for his niece. The code of the gold brick was exactly the same as Chen Yan's birthday. It was obviously specially prepared.

Professor Ren and his wife gave them books, which were also unique.

It feels like the couple can make a lot of money just by selling books.

As for Chen Yanrenjie's matchmaker, Geng Lishan, as usual, he gave him a painting.

When it was the turn of Chen Yuejin and his wife, they took out a car key. Shen Baobao recognized it at a glance:

"This is...Pamela?"

Shen Guofang said:

"Xiaojie works in the public security department after all. Xiaoyan drives a sports car every day too ostentatiously, so she switched to a sedan. I bought the highest-end version to make it more comfortable to drive."

Tsk, tsk, I was disgusted with it before.

Now that Yan Bao has a partner, he just bought a new car.

But replacing a sports car worth more than one million yuan with a sedan worth more than two million yuan... Auntie, do you have any misunderstandings about low-key?

After various dishes were placed on the table, everyone began to eat and drink.

In the corner, Qi Panpan watched the rich people giving gifts to each other and touched Li Qiang curiously:

"Isn't our gift too shabby?"

What the two of them presented was a starry sky jar held hand in hand by the little policeman and the little chef, which was specially customized.

Li Qiang said:

"Don't worry, the gifts given today, no matter whether they are high or low, as long as they include a little chef and a little policeman, they are worthy of the title. The more gifts you give, the happier Mr. Chen will be."

After saying that, he grabbed a piece of roasted lamb back and put it on Qi Panpan's plate:

"Eat quickly, eat quickly. The essence of roasted whole lamb is all on the back of the lamb. It's crispy and fragrant. It's hard to eat this kind of delicacy."

Upon hearing this, Qi Panpan said nothing and started eating with the browned and crispy lamb back.

While he was eating, Shu Yun pushed in a custom-made three-layer cake. Finally, it was no longer a little policeman and a little helper, but a scene of Chen Yan wearing a Mongolian robe, sitting on a haystack and watching the sunset.

Her smile was very sweet, as if she had seen her own happy life.

"Mr. Chen, this is a special surprise prepared by our store for you. I originally wanted to make you a little chef and a little policeman, but when I found out that everyone prepared it this way, I used the photo you sent me on National Day to find Diaoyutai The master dessert chef helped make it... All the staff of Linji Food wish Mr. Chen a happy birthday!"

"Thank you, thank you Baby Shu, I'm very happy."

For Chen Yan, this was really a surprise.

Especially thanks to the help of the master dessert chef from Diaoyutai, all the people and scenery on the cake were so lifelike that it made her eyes wet.

Shu Yun never mentioned this matter, and even today, he didn't show any signs of being prepared.

But he secretly prepared such a big surprise.

"Baby Shu, are you trying to make me cry?"

"No, no, this is not my fault alone. I was just running an errand. Our boss helped us contact the master chef of Diaoyutai."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yanchong said to Lin Xu:

"Thank you, brother-in-law. When you and Yueyue get married, I will never make things difficult for you during the door-step process."

Gee, this promise is quite weighty.

Everyone laughed.

Shen Guofu and Han Shuzhen discussed in a low voice:

"Why don't we wait until the Chinese New Year and let Xiaoxu and Yueyue take care of things?"

"This needs to be discussed with the in-laws. Traffic is heavy during the Spring Festival. It is inconvenient whether they come to the capital or we go to Yinzhou. It depends on the attitude of Meijuan and the others."

"Okay, I'll contact my in-laws when I get back today."

Various dishes are served one after another.

At the end, two large plates of freshly made sesame sauce pancakes were served.

Shen Baobao whispered to Shen Guofu:

"Dad, you and your mother haven't come to the restaurant to eat in the past two days while hiking. Xubao specially prepared this for you. When you were a kid, you bought me so many sesame sauce biscuits stuffed with meat but you couldn't bear to take a bite, so today you just spread them out to eat. , none of us will stop you."

Shen Guofu expressed his great condolences:

"Good girl...wife, did you hear what our daughter said? After being together with Xiaoxu, she has become more and more sensible."

"Yeah, thanks to Xiaoxu, otherwise he might be so naughty."

Shen Baobao:? ? ? ? ? ? ?

If you do this, you will lose my lovely and sensible daughter!

Everyone chatted while eating. Lin Xu planned to attend the opening ceremony of Ziqiang Shengjian Sizhong Store on Monday, then go to the TV station to record a program for a day, and welcome Guo Xinghai in the evening.

On Tuesday, I helped Baby Shen take a video of Dundun, and on Wednesday I took a whole day of food VLOG.

Make time so that starting from Thursday, you can go to Diaoyutai for further study.

A few days of busy life have passed.

On Thursday morning, Lin Xu drove to Diaoyutai and went straight to Building 12, ready to start learning ramen from Yin Hongbin, the executive chef of Building 12.

After such a long time, it’s really time for Bai An to learn ramen. This is also an unavoidable technique in Bai An.

After you learn it, you can not only make ramen, but also some dishes that need to be stretched. For example, pasta such as silver rolls will also use this technique.

After getting off the car, he was just about to go in when the system prompt sounded in his mind:

"The special props have been refreshed and the host can redeem them based on points."

What?

Is the one-month refresh period finally over?

Lin Xu immediately entered the system, intending to see what special props were refreshed this time...
