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

Morning.

Lin Xu got up and washed up and went downstairs.

Put the casserole on the stove, add water to boil, take out the soaked rice from the refrigerator last night and pour it in, add a small spoonful of salt and a small spoonful of lard, cover the lid and cook over medium heat.

Adding lard to rice porridge can make the rice grains smoother and the porridge more fragrant.

Taking advantage of this time, he added some flour to the basin, cracked in a few eggs, added chopped green onions and diced carrots, and finally sprinkled with salt, pepper powder, and thirteen spices, then added water and stirred into a batter.

Preheat the electric baking pan, brush a layer of oil on the bottom of the pan, pour a spoonful of batter into it, spread it evenly with a bamboo spatula, and cover it with a lid.

After a minute, open the lid. The batter has solidified and turned into a golden egg pancake. Apply oil on the surface, turn it over, and fry it briefly before taking it out of the pan.

By the time the rice porridge in the casserole is cooked, the egg pancakes have also been made.

Take out a few Taihu shrimps that you brought last night from the small aquarium in the kitchen, remove the shrimp tentacles, pull out the shrimp threads, make an incision on the back and put them one by one into the rice porridge.

Stir and let the rice porridge coat the prawns.

Then wash a handful of small green vegetables from the store, chop them into pieces with a kitchen knife and put them into a bowl. Pour a little sesame oil into them and mix them to make the green vegetables more crispy, tender and refreshing.

When the shrimps in the pot turn completely red, turn off the heat, sprinkle with chopped green vegetables, stir, and a simple pot of shrimp and vegetable porridge is ready.

Lin Xu wiped his hands and pulled his slippers upstairs.

"It's time to get up and eat. Don't you still want to do yoga on the roof?"

After patting the buttocks of a sleeping baby, Lin Xu immediately pressed the remote control of the electric curtains.

I tried it two days ago. If this girl doesn't yell, she can sleep until eleven o'clock in one breath. When she wakes up, she will rake her head again, complaining that she didn't wake up because she missed the early morning wake-up yoga.

So I made a special effort to cook early today and wake her up early.

"Well... you hate Xu Bao so much. I already did yoga in my dream last night..."

Is this okay?

"I just made your favorite egg pancakes and shrimp and vegetable porridge. If you don't get up, I'll eat the shrimp..."

Before the words were uttered, the sleeping beauty on the bed, who was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes, sat up wrapped in a quilt and stretched out two white arms to wrap around Lin Xu's neck:

"I want a kiss..."

Lin Xu lowered his head and was about to kiss him, but the girl pulled him down on the bed with a strong force. Then she straddled Lin Xu with her hands and feet:

"Haha! This is a grappling technique I just learned online. Is it powerful?"

Lin Xu pulled up the quilt and wrapped the girl's body:

"It's amazing. Get up quickly. The food will be cold by now."

Baby Shen stayed in bed for a while, then reluctantly got dressed and got out of bed.

After washing up, the young couple came downstairs hand in hand. Lin Xu brought the prepared egg pancakes to the dining table. Another person filled them with a bowl of shrimp and vegetable porridge, and finally placed a plate of pickles and a plate of refreshing kimchi.

Breakfast is ready.

"This egg pancake is so delicious. It goes perfectly with the kimchi. The rice porridge is also delicious... If not, I have to take a photo and post it on Moments. If you don't post it when you eat something delicious, it's like you haven't eaten it."

Lin Xu picked up an egg pancake, folded it into a triangle, held it in his hand and took a bite:

"Where did you learn all this nonsense?"

"On the Internet, you don't know. Many people can take tens of gigabytes of photos once they ride in a good car, and then post one every few days, creating the illusion of riding in a luxury car every day... I ate something made by Director Lin himself. Naturally, I have to dry my breakfast, otherwise everyone would think I ate it at a breakfast stall."

She took a photo and sent it to Moments, along with a text:

"After a woman reaches her twenties, she can no longer eat haisei. A simple bowl of rice porridge, paired with pickles and egg pancakes, can start an ordinary day."

It was only seven o'clock in the morning, and many people were still fast asleep.

But there are also people who get up early, such as Dundun’s aunt Chen Yuanyuan, who was preparing to start business in the No. 4 Middle School store. When she saw the breakfast in her circle of friends, she immediately commented:

"If you have any leftover, bring me some. I slept too late last night and didn't bother to have breakfast in the store so I opened the door this morning."

Zeng Xiaoqi, who was having breakfast in the store, said:

"A bowl full of prawns, how simple is that?"

The boss lady really started releasing poison in the early morning.

It's a pity that Mr. Chen hasn't gotten up yet, otherwise the sisters would have had a confrontation in the comment area.

At the dining table, Shen, who had finished poisoning, was concentrating on eating the food in front of him. The egg pancake was full of egg flavor, soft and chewy.

The rice porridge in the bowl is smooth, the shrimp is rich in flavor, and the vegetables are refreshing.

It’s really delicious and enjoyable to eat together.

"Xubao, where will you eat for lunch?"

"Let's go to the Yanjing Hotel. I'm going to take a look there first today. I'll go get the pet license and sign the contract when I'm done. I have to go back after that. I have to keep an eye on the chef over there."

If he was earning a salary, he would definitely not take this job.

But the temptation of a place to stay in Beijing was so great that he had to pay more attention.

After the quota is obtained, the parents' household registration can also be transferred, and medical insurance and social security will be different.

The most important thing is that the house can finally be in your own name.

Although it doesn't matter if it's in the company's name, I still feel reassured that it's not in my personal name.

"If you are busy, I can just apply for the pet license and sign the contract. It won't be troublesome anyway."

"You're not going to work?"

"I have already agreed with Uncle Tan that I will not go. I will ask Sister Jing to help me transfer the social security procedures to the company, so that I can have a lot of time to photograph Dundun and become a full-time UP owner."

When this girl decided to shoot Dundun, Lin Xu felt that his job in the audit office would not last long.

Because one side is the boring workplace life, and the other side is the sense of achievement in short video creation. When comparing the two methods, I feel that going to work is a waste of time.

Especially when you have millions of fans, it’s really not worthwhile to go to work.

Shen Baobao is now a shareholder of Happy Media and Pang Dundun Catering Company. He wants to have income and work, and at the same time he can accompany Dundun.

In this case, it is better to resign from the audit firm to avoid having to run both ways.

After the meal, the young couple took Dundun to the store.

Lin Xu walked around the back kitchen and saw Qi Siliang, who came to work today.

This young man who cried for a long time yesterday is no longer as domineering and brainless as yesterday. He strode over and apologized to Lin Xu seriously.

After apologizing, he rolled up his sleeves and began to help Che Zai wash off his fat intestines.

If you were so diligent yesterday, why would you be fired?

Lin Xu walked next to him and asked:

"Siliang, who asked you to stop me at the door yesterday?"

Qi Siliang said:

"It's Chef Meng from the cooking area."

Chef Meng?

Lin Xu thought for a long time before he remembered that there was a thirty-five or six-year-old chef named Meng Kaikai in the cooking area. He was very warm to him yesterday and even took the initiative to pour water twice.

He looks smiling on the outside, but he makes people mischief behind his back.

This is probably a normal workplace relationship, right?

He asked in surprise:

"What is the relationship between Meng Kaikai and your cousin?"

"Senior brother, he is my cousin's younger brother, and his father is my cousin's master. Chef Meng usually has no airs and is very kind to us, but my cousin hates him and thinks this person is too fake and hypocritical."

I deceived you into getting fired, which is indeed quite hypocritical.

Sure enough, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. The Yanjing Hotel back chef's bad behavior may have been deliberately done by Meng Kaikai. Only by messing up the situation did he have a chance to rise to the top.

Although the temptation of a head chef is very great, no matter how great it is, it is still not as good as an executive chef.

After lamenting the struggles in the workplace, Lin Xu drove to Yanjing Hotel and brought breakfast to his cousin Chen Yuanyuan.

I have finished eating what I cooked at home, so I specially packed it from the store.

A portion of pumpkin, hazelnut and yellow rice porridge, a double-egg pancake with fried sauce and lettuce wrapped in it, two sesame balls and a small portion of spicy cabbage with the porridge.

In fact, in the pancake shop, you can eat pancakes and drink soy milk, yam juice and the like.

But one or two meals of this delicacy is okay, but if you eat it every day, no one can stand it.

Lin Xu has seen the employees of the main store more than once, ordering takeaways such as Maocai hot dry noodles, spicy skewers, etc. in the middle of the afternoon when they are not busy, just to adjust their appetite after eating too much fried food.

The same is true for Chen Yuanyuan now.

However, when Lin Xu was on his way to the Yanjing Hotel, she would not ask for food and drink like this when he was not on the way, and would just buy a bowl of rice noodles nearby.

When it comes to making money, how can we pay attention to food and drink?

Arriving at the entrance of Sizhong Store, Lin Xugang just opened the door and got out of the car, and saw his sister-in-law Su Peipei.

"Hello, sister-in-law, did you not have breakfast?"

Su Peipei said:

"I have eaten. There are two students in the class who come from poor families. They eat steamed buns in the cafeteria for breakfast. I stopped by to buy some fried buns to improve the lives of the two children."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xu said to Chen Yuanyuan:

"Then don't charge money, let's also give some love."

Su Peipei was not happy when she heard this:

"How can you do that? You have to collect money. Your stall is so big, so it's not okay to be so lavish."

After saying that, she paid thirty yuan, took the packed drinks and fried fish, said goodbye to the two of them, and hurried to school.

Lin Xu put breakfast on the counter and said to Chen Yuanyuan:

"Cousin, do you think it's appropriate for us to sponsor two students?"

"Why isn't it appropriate? It's quite appropriate. When my father had money, he sponsored a few poor college students. Later, when they got into debt, those college students who had just graduated sent their hard-earned wages to my home, and my father I was so happy that I cried, but in the end I didn’t ask for it and let them take the money back.”

Lin Xu didn't know that his second uncle had this problem.

No wonder his father-in-law praises him for living a transparent life. He has experienced everything and is not surprised by anything, so naturally he is transparent.

Now that the second uncle is out again, I wonder what miracles he can create.

He took a sip of the yam juice handed over by Chen Yuanyuan:

"The ancients said that if you are poor, you can help yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world. Although we don't have the ability to help the world, we can still help a few poor students realize their dreams of studying. Since my second uncle has experience in supporting poor students, you can do this. Just help your brother do it."

"Brother, I find that you are becoming more and more capable of being a black-hearted capitalist. Yesterday you asked me to do group buying business, and today you asked me to do charity... You can't just keep catching a sheep, can you?"

"Those who are capable work hard. Who makes my sister Bingxue smart? No one else can do this kind of thing even if they want to."

Chen Yuanyuan is still in favor of subsidizing students.

She teased her cousin and agreed:

"Okay, there's no rush for this kind of thing. I'll do more research... By the way, will it be funded in your own name, or in the name of Lin Ji or Pang Dundun?"

Lin Xu thought for a while and set the tone for this matter:

"In the name of Ziqiang Shengjian, all similar matters in the future will be handed over to Ziqiang Shengjian."

Ziqiang Shengjian will definitely continue to expand next year, and it is a good time to use this incident to build up its reputation. As for Lin Ji, he has too much reputation, so don’t get involved with charity.

Otherwise you will be dragged down by your reputation sooner or later.

After explaining this, he got into the car and left with the glass of yam juice he drank.

Arrive at Yanjing Hotel.

As soon as he walked into the kitchen, he saw Meng Kaikai, who had tricked Qi Siliang into losing his job, muttering something to Qi Zhentao while holding a basket of washed goose paws.

"Hey, Director Lin is here. What tea do you want to drink? I'll help you pour it."

Meng Kaikai had a warm look on his face, and he thought he was visiting a relative's house.

Lin Xu raised the yam juice in his hand:

"No, I'm going to drink this...what are you doing with so many goosefoots?"

Before Qi Zhentao could answer, Meng Kaikai said:

"Last night, my senior brother saw that the quality of the abalone sauce you made was very high. I wanted to make some abalone sauce and goose feet. This is a famous dish in Cantonese cuisine. Once it's ready, it's comparable to bear's paw."

Lin Xu, who has never eaten bear paws, said he could not imagine the taste.

That's the bad thing about being young.

In the 1980s, when hunting was not yet banned, it was not difficult to eat bear paws. Unlike now, you can eat a bear paw in one bite and live in the south with your head shaved.

After sighing with emotion, he looked at Qi Zhentao and asked:

"Chef Qi, is it difficult to make goose feet with abalone sauce?"

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult, you can make it with tiger skin and chicken feet"

So good, it has become the signature of Linji Food, and making goose feet is definitely not a problem. "

Lin Xu became interested when he heard this.

After getting the abalone juice, he has been looking forward to cashing in this high-end sauce.

If it's similar to chicken feet, you can try it later.

If it works, I'll get a new one in the store.

Anyway, Lin Ji now has a group of customers who are not short of money. If you dare to start a new business, they will dare to try it. This kind of money is not earned in vain.

He drank the yam juice in the cup, threw the empty cup into the trash can, and began to follow suit.

When making the dish of goose feet with abalone sauce, the first choice ingredient is the goose feet of the lion-head goose. It is relatively large, has fat soles, and is golden in color. The resulting goose feet are beautiful and meaty, making it the best choice for high-end goose feet dishes.

If you don't care about the appearance, you can also use the goose paws of black and brown goose. They are relatively smaller and have black soles, but small has a small advantage, that is, the meat is firm enough.

However, the ingredients used in Yanjing Hotel are definitely of the highest quality.

The goose paws in the basin are all the soles of lion-headed geese. The cuticle on the surface has been removed. After Qi Zhentao washed them twice, he put the goose paws into the pot and blanched them.

By blanching, impurities on the surface of goose feet can be washed away, which will make the meat taste better.

Put the goose feet into the pot, add water, pour in the white wine, bring to a boil over high heat, take out the goose feet, and soak them in cold water to allow the goose feet to set and make it easier to fry.

While soaking, use scissors to cut off the claw tips of the goosefoot.

The reason why I didn't cut it at the beginning is because after blanching, the meat around the claw tip will shrink, making the root of the claw tip visible, so that it can be completely cleaned.

Continue soaking after cutting.

Taking advantage of this time, Qi Zhentao began to prepare the marinade for goosefoot, a pot of broth, a few dried onions, a few heads of garlic, a few pieces of ginger, as well as star anise, leaves, cinnamon and other spices.

When everything is ready, heat the oil in a pan and fry all the spices, onions and garlic at a low temperature.

After frying, put it in a casserole, then pour in the broth made from pork bones, hens, Jinhua ham and other ingredients, add salt, rock sugar, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, and cook over low heat on the stove.

At this time, take out the soaked goosefoot.

Wipe away any moisture on the surface and fry in oil.

This is actually the same as making chicken feet, but the difference is that chicken feet are small and don't take too long to fry, while goose feet need a long time to fry.

When frying, you must also actively adjust the temperature of the oil.

For example, when it is first put into the pan, because the surface of the goose web needs to be fried quickly, the oil temperature should be slightly higher, about 60% hot.

After putting it in the pot, cover the pot and wait until there is no crackling sound in the pot, indicating that the water on the surface has dried up.

At this time, turn to low heat and let the oil temperature in the pot drop to about 40%.

Deep-fry the goose feet thoroughly, so that the braised goose feet are delicious.

Fry like this for about ten minutes. When the goose feet are fried thoroughly, turn on medium heat and let the oil temperature rise again. This will fry the excess fat in the goose feet to avoid being too greasy.

Take out the fried goose palms. If you like it greasy, you can put it directly into the soup. If you don't like it, you can soak it in warm water to soak out the fat in the palm.

Next, it is simmered for three hours.

In this way, the goose feet are stewed until the bones are crispy and the meat is tender, and it melts in the mouth. The braised goose feet are then braised with abalone juice. The texture is tempting just thinking about it.

"This dish is delicious, but it is too labor-intensive. Counting the abalone juice, the broth, and goose feet all added together, it takes nearly thirty hours. It is too time-consuming."

After Qi Zhentao said this, Lin Xu finally understood why the hotel's goose paws with abalone sauce can be sold for ninety-eight yuan each. In some more high-end places, they can even cost hundreds of yuan.

Judging from the time it takes, it is indeed worth it.

Goosefoot cannot be eaten until noon. Lin Xu casually chatted with Qi Zhenhua and Meng Kaikai for a few words, and then went to the soup department.

After the head chef here resigned in anger yesterday, the soup department was left with only a group of assistant cooks and apprentices, without its backbone.

Lin Xu thought they hadn't started working yet, but when he came in, he found that ingredients were being cooked in several stoves, and the soup was rich in aroma.

The soups needed in the store, such as beef bone stock, pork bone stock, chicken stock, and abalone juice, are all being cooked.

The oldest assistant cook is currently holding two racks of mutton chops and studying how to make mutton soup.

"When making mutton soup, you can't just use mutton chops, otherwise the soup won't be flavorful enough. You have to add mutton legs, preferably hind legs, so that the soup will be richer and taste better... You don't even know this?"

"Hey, Director Lin is here? We used to use all kinds of thick soups, but we never got through the real soup... I just asked the warehouse for lamb legs, but they didn't give them, and said they would get some lamb for us later. Scorpion, let’s make soup out of the skeleton.”

I just finished cleaning up the soup department yesterday. Are you asking me to clean up the warehouse today?

Lin Xu was too lazy to do this and shouted outside:

"Qi Siming!"

In less than a minute, Qi Siming, wearing skull earrings, walked in:

"What's wrong, Boss Lin? Tell me what's going on."

Lin Xu said:

"From today on, you will also serve as the head chef of the soup department. You can go to the warehouse to get whatever ingredients they use."

The person in charge of the warehouse is probably Qi Zhentao's godson or apprentice. If he wants to argue, it will be a fuss and it will make Qi Zhentao embarrassed.

So just leave it to Qi Siming.

If even Qi Siming can't produce ingredients, then there will be a good show to watch next!
