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

Lin Xu is actually no stranger to the preparation of beef tartare.

Although this kind of task cannot be redeemed from the points mall, he has recently read the introductions of many online bloggers, and also searched some production videos of foreign food UP owners, and has a general understanding of this delicacy.

Beef tartare is made by mixing raw beef with yellow mustard, pickled cucumber, parsley, onion and other ingredients and seasonings, and then mixing in sterile egg yolk for consumption.

Because it is eaten raw, this dish has very high requirements for ingredients.

Beef and eggs must be sterile, and other seasonings and ingredients also have strict regulations and requirements.

Thinking of the last pickled fish mission, because Shen Baobao bought a rare rat spot, the originally excellent pickled fish was upgraded to an excellent one. Lin Xu also planned to take this shortcut this time.

While he was putting words in the study upstairs, he called Lao Huang.

"Boss Huang, can you get sterile A5 grade Wagyu tenderloin tomorrow?"

A5 level is the ceiling for Wagyu beef.

Using this level of beef tenderloin to make beef tartare, not to mention the taste, first of all, the grade has gone up a lot. When the system is rated, the quality of the ingredients can be taken into account to some extent.

Lao Huang is sitting in the living room looking at the photos of big bones posted by everyone on WeChat. He wants to eat but dare not eat, for fear that he will not be able to continue eating, so he can only watch others indulge in meat addiction.

At this moment, he received a call from Lin Xu and said quickly:

"Okay, no problem."

"What about sterile eggs?"

"This is no problem anymore. What my family eats now is sterile eggs. What's wrong, Brother Lin?"

Lin Xu said:

"I'm going to make beef tartare tomorrow. Since you have everything, let's start tomorrow."

"Oh, that's great. I'll send the ingredients there early tomorrow morning!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xu turned on the computer and looked at the playback status of the short video platform. Five million views had been completed, and he had acquired excellent shooting techniques and excellent editing techniques.

After reading the backend earnings, he looked at the private messages and comments.

This is basically something you do every day, check it to prevent flooding of advertising comments.

After processing these, I sorted out the existing materials on the computer, then closed the computer and went downstairs to the living room.

I vaguely remember that the reason why my father-in-law and mother-in-law decided to move in in the morning was to prevent Baobao Shen from continuing to play games and to supervise and supervise my daughter.

But at this time, Lin Xu came downstairs and found that Chen Yan, who was originally playing the piano, was sitting on the sofa, with Shen Guofu, Han Shuzhen and Shen Jiayue, each holding a wireless game controller, playing a 2V2 battle game on the PS5.

I originally thought that the family was just Shen Baobao, a girl addicted to the Internet.

I didn't expect that human-to-human transmission would occur so quickly...

The four of them devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the game, which made Xiao Dundun, who was lying on the piano preparing for music lessons, very disappointed.

I used to have at least half an hour of piano lessons every night.

Why is there only rice today?

There was a big question mark hidden in Dundun's little head. It was obvious that he couldn't figure it out.

Seeing Lin Xu coming downstairs, the little guy quickly jumped down from the piano, pouted his plump little butt and hurriedly ran to Lin Xu, shouting aggrievedly:

"Meow~~~~~"

"No one will play with you anymore? How about I take you upstairs to play games?"

After buying so many cat toys, it’s time to play with the little one for a while.

Seeing her son-in-law coming, Han Shuzhen immediately turned away. Just as she was about to speak, Shen Jiayue launched a sneak attack in the game, and the character controlled by Han Shuzhen was unfortunately eliminated.

"Haha, how can you be distracted by playing games?"

Han Shuzhen put down the game controller and then remembered the purpose of staying at her son-in-law's house today. She said to the three people who were still playing:

"Okay, okay, stop playing. I'm not afraid of hurting my eyes in the middle of the night... Lao Shen, go upstairs and take a shower. I'll play with Dundun for a while."

He couldn't openly teach his daughter a lesson in front of his son-in-law. His niece had always been well-behaved and sensible in front of him, so he had no choice but to take action on Lao Shen.

Shen Guofu had just discovered the joy of playing with the learning machine when he was young. He wanted to retort when he heard this, but when he saw his wife's eyes, he put down the game controller obediently.

Han Shuzhen stood up and clapped her hands at Dundun:

"Come on, honey, grandma will take you to play the piano."

She came over, hugged Dundun and placed it on the cover of the piano. Then she adjusted the position of the piano bench and asked as she prepared to play the piano:

"Will it disturb the people?"

Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan were fighting fiercely and said without raising their heads:

"No, the floor, walls, and glass are all soundproofed, and there is a soundproofing blanket under the piano."

Upon hearing this, Han Shuzhen felt relieved.

She tried her hand at the soundcheck and immediately played Little Star.

Chen Yan, who was playing a game, couldn't help but turn her face and glance.

Didn’t you say that your aunt’s piano level is very high? What comes up is Little Star. This is a piano piece that even I know...Hey, wait, why is this Little Star different from what I remember?

It suddenly feels a lot more complicated.

Shen Jiayue won another round. Seeing Chen Yan's surprised expression, she said:

"My mother played Mozart's original version of "Little Star Variations". It has more than a dozen chapters, almost ten minutes... You don't think it's a children's song you learned when you were a child, do you?"

Chen Yan: "..."

Sure enough, I only deserve to play games.

After Dundun started taking piano lessons, Lin Xu saw the sweet-skinned duck brought by Chen Yan still on the table, and asked curiously:

"Do you want to eat this duck? If not, I'll put it in the refrigerator."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan looked at each other, then winked at Lin Xu, and then said:

"Wouldn't it taste better in the refrigerator?"

Chen Yan took over the conversation:

"It seems to be easy to eat, so why don't you, brother-in-law, heat it up so that we can have a few bites later so as not to waste the ingredients."

These two people obviously wanted to eat.

That's why they are so colluding, from plastic sisters to the losers of the United Front.

Under this situation, Lin Xu had to cooperate with the performance:

"Okay, let me heat it up, and let's eat together later when I prepare a midnight snack for Dundun."

Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan gave a hidden high-five.

Perfect!

Lin Xu put the sweet-skinned duck into the kitchen and went upstairs to sort out the video materials.

At half past nine, he went downstairs to prepare food for Dundun. After peeling a few bullfrogs and steaming them, he started preparing midnight snacks for everyone.

If my mother-in-law wasn't here, I would definitely have no fun, but I have to restrain myself today.

Lin Xu thought for a while, put the sweet-skinned duck in the oven to heat, then boiled some water on the stove, turned off the heat after it was hot, grabbed some sweet potato vermicelli and soaked it in to prepare some hot and sour noodles.

It's not a good time to eat or drink heavily at night, but having a bowl of rice noodles per person should be fine.

Eating it so sour and spicy will make you feel comfortable all over, and at the same time it will not put too much burden on your stomach and intestines.

Not long after, the bullfrog was steamed.

Lin Xu took it out, cut off the meat and put it on Dundun's eating plate, then poured the steamed soup over it, and the little guy's supper was ready.

While it was cooling, he started making hot and sour noodles.

Soak the vermicelli until soft and put it in a pot to cook. Take five bowls and add soy vinegar, chili oil, lard, dried shrimps and other condiments in turn. Use the soup used to cook the vermicelli to make the soup base.

Scoop in the soft boiled vermicelli, ladle the soup into a bowl, and then sprinkle some chopped coriander, minced garlic, diced mustard and fried peanuts.

In this way, a spicy and sour appetizing hot and sour rice noodle is ready.

While he was busy, Shen Guofu, who was wearing pajamas, came to the kitchen. When he saw the hot and sour noodles being made, he couldn't help but say:

"Oh, it would be perfect if we had some meat buns or crispy beef patties. Eating it so deliciously makes me feel happy just thinking about it."

Upon hearing this, before Lin Xu could answer, Han Shuzhen's voice came from the living room:

"Old Shen, have you forgotten something?"

Shen Guofu opened his mouth and quickly added:

"There are not so many perfect things in the world. Beauty is all about perfection."

After Lin Xu finished making the hot and sour noodles, he took the sweet-skinned duck out of the oven, cut it into large pieces with a knife, placed it on a plate, and started eating.

Five large bowls of hot and sour noodles, a plate of sweet-skinned duck, and a small plate of refreshing kimchi.

The whole family, young and old, sat at the dining table and began to sip noodles.

On the ground nearby, Dundun was lying in front of his small dining table, eating delicious bullfrog meat.

Although Han Shuzhen didn't agree with eating at night, she was immediately addicted after tasting the delicious hot and sour noodles. She took a sip and couldn't help but praise:

“This powder is so well made, fragrant and refreshing!”

Shen Jiayue chuckled:

"You don't understand this, right? Mom, the fragrant flavor comes from the addition of lard, and the refreshing taste comes from cooking it first... Did I say Xu Bao right?"

"That's right, but the calories of sweet potato vermicelli are still too high. Next time I will buy some konjac flour and try it. It is said that that one has lower calories and tastes better."

"Okay, I like eating konjac the most."

Everyone sipped their noodles and ate the sweet-skinned duck whose skin had become crispy again. After eating and drinking, they leaned on the sofa and felt indescribably comfortable.

Han Shuzhen finally knew why Xiaoyan always came here to visit.

Who doesn’t like this feeling of playing games and having a meal at night?

But if you continue to eat like this, your body will not be able to bear it.

She said:

"The news says that some roads outside are already frozen. Xiaoyan, don't go back. Stay here. I'll take you two to do aerobics on the roof tomorrow morning... You can't eat like this. What if you're so fat before you get married?" manage?"

Shen Jiayue asked:

"So once you get married, can you eat and drink as much as you want?"

Han Shuzhen took a deep breath.

You little clever guy is quite good at arguing!

She said to her daughter:

"As long as your man doesn't dislike it, you can eat as much as you want, and no one will care if you eat two hundred pounds."

Shen Jiayue stuck out her tongue:

"I'm kidding. Mom remembers to wake me up tomorrow morning. I'm going to do aerobics to welcome the sun tomorrow. Let you see how scary a self-disciplined woman can be!"

After Lin Xu tidied up the kitchen, everyone went upstairs to wash up and rest.

Six o'clock the next morning.

Lin Xu went downstairs to make breakfast and found that Han Shuzhen and Shen Guofu had already gotten up. They had not done much cleaning at home, so they mopped the living room, kitchen and stairs.

"Mom, you don't have to work anymore, I can do all this."

Han Shuzhen said with a smile:

"No, your father-in-law and I are just doing some exercise. Since you're up, I'll tell Yueyue and Xiaoyan to get up and do some gymnastics... Lao Shen, please stop sitting. Didn't Chef Xie say that skipping rope is useful? You also Try it.”

Just like that, Shen Guofu, who originally wanted to sit down and take a breath, was dragged upstairs to work out.

Lin Xu walked into the kitchen and started preparing today's breakfast.

He boiled the barley first, then cut a few purple sweet potatoes into it to make a pot of purple sweet potato and barley porridge.

Then use diced eggs, carrots and green onions, stir them into the batter and spread out some egg pancakes.

Finally, boil the prawns you brought back from the store last night, peel them off and put them in a basin. Add some lettuce, cucumber slices, tomato slices and other vegetables, and top with Worcestershire sauce, olive oil and salad dressing. I made a healthier shrimp and vegetable salad.

The three people who were waiting for the gymnastics exercise and Shen Guofu came down from upstairs and started eating.

"Wow, today's breakfast looks so healthy."

Shen Jiayue took a piece of shrimp into her mouth with a fork and praised:

"It's fresh, tender and refreshing. It's not bad. After a sweaty workout, have some healthy salad to keep you energetic all day long!"

Chen Yan also thinks that eating like this is good, healthy and nutritious.

If you eat like this every day, those two pounds you gained will have to be lost again sooner or later.

Uh-huh, when the time comes, we will laugh at Shu Baobao, Xiao Qiqi and Xiao Doudou. Are you angry that we are so self-disciplined when we have a partner?

Everyone ate egg pancakes and porridge. After breakfast, those who needed to go to work went to work, those who needed to go to the store went to the store. Shen Jiayue, who was already a full-time owner of UP, planned to drive back to the villa to continue shooting Dundun's videos.

Drove to the store.

Lin Xugang just walked in, and Shu Yun, who was eating a bowl of Yangchun noodles, said:

"Boss Huang just sent some beef tenderloin and a box of sterile eggs, saying they are what you want."

It’s quite fast to eat.

Lin Xu said:

"He is anxiously waiting for me to make beef tartare. I will start researching it later."

Shu Yun took a mouthful of noodles and asked curiously:

“Is raw beef really edible?”

"Okay, you can try it later. There's no fishy smell at all, and it's full of freshness in your mouth."

In the past, Shu Yun had heard of customers eating raw meat at Diaoyutai, but she had never tried it. She always felt that this way of eating was full of weirdness and absurdity.

But now that the boss said so, she said:

"Okay, I'll challenge myself later... won't you vomit after eating it?"

Lin Xu smiled:

"No, in fact there are places in China where you can eat raw meat, such as the raw fish in the Northeast, the crispy Anhui fish in Shunde, the raw pork in southern Yunnan, etc. As long as you overcome the psychological barriers, you can taste the authentic taste of the ingredients. Really delicious.”

Shu Yun was somewhat moved, but still asked:

"Could there be parasites?"

"The meat and eggs used are of sterile quality, there will be no such thing."

Back upstairs, Lin Xu saw the beautifully packaged beef tenderloin on the ice in the cold storage. The whole piece of meat had patterns like snowflakes.

I have to say that A5 grade Wagyu is really different from ordinary ones.

In terms of appearance, it has an air of not being cheap.

Now that the beef was in hand, Lin Xu didn't cook it immediately. He walked around the kitchen to confirm that nothing happened, and then drove to the import and export supermarket.

When making Western-style meals, you have to use Western condiments.

I don’t know if it tastes good or not, but the system score will definitely increase accordingly.

When he came to the supermarket, he first picked pickles.

At first I thought there were only one or two types of pickled cucumbers in the store, but I didn’t expect that there were a whole row of them.

In this case, of course choose the most expensive one!

Lin Xu originally thought that the bigger the pickled cucumbers were, the more expensive they would be, but he didn't expect that the price was far ahead of that of the can, and it was actually about the size of a thumb.

In that case, buy it!

In addition to pickled cucumbers, he also picked the most expensive olive oil, the most expensive yellow mustard sauce, the most expensive dried tuna in the store, and also bought a can of capers, which are not popular even in import and export supermarkets.

The so-called watermelon is a unique plant in the West. It looks like a spherical cucumber. When pickled, it is similar to pickled cucumbers. It tastes sour and salty. It is a commonly used seasoning ingredient in Western cold dishes.

After buying everything, we drove back to the store.

As soon as he walked into the store with his things, he saw Lao Huang, who had finished delivering the goods. He was sitting in the hall boredly playing with his mobile phone. When he saw Lin Xu come in, he stood up immediately:

"Brother Lin, can you do it now? I've been craving for it all night."

Lin Xu said curiously:

"Eat this early in the morning, be careful your stomach can't stand it."

"It's okay. I just ate some naan, so it's not a big problem."

Now that you’ve eaten pasta, let’s get started.

Lin Xu returned upstairs and started making beef tartare while everything was fine.

Unwrap the wagyu beef, wipe it with kitchen paper, and cut it into pea-sized pieces.

When cutting it, you can clearly feel the difference between high-quality beef and the usual stir-fried yellow beef.

The yellow beef used in the store has thicker meat fibers and is a little harder to cut, while the Wagyu beef is like ice cream, with no fiber at all.

Put the chopped beef into the basin and start adding the ingredients.

Remove the tender core from the shallot and cut into mung bean size.

The onions should be smaller than the meat so that when mixed with the meat, the onions will not dominate the taste. The amount should be small, not too much.

Chop the parsley and add it to the meat.

Next comes the pickled cucumbers, which need to be cut into smaller pieces and soaked and washed before cutting to wash off the salt on the surface of the pickled cucumbers to prevent them from being too salty.

Finally came the capers and tuna.

The capers are used to contrast the tenderness of the beef, not too much.

As for the tuna, it is to increase the umami flavor of the beef.

Put all these into a basin, pour in yellow mustard sauce, black pepper, olive oil, and a little yellow lantern hot sauce to increase the flavor.

Mix well and bring a plate over.

Place a shaping iron ring in the middle of the plate.

Use a spoon to put the evenly mixed beef in, press it slightly, and after removing the iron ring, there will be a beautiful meatloaf in the middle of the plate.

Make a small round nest on the top of the meat patty, beat a sterile egg, remove the egg white and carefully place the egg yolk on the round nest of the meat patty.

Pick two parsley leaves and put them on the plate for garnishing, and your beef tartare is ready.

Lin Xu focused on this dish.

Soon a line of text appeared in front of my eyes:

[A beef tartare made with wagyu beef, pickled cucumbers, parsley, shallots and other ingredients, rated: Excellent]

As soon as I saw this, the system prompt sounded in my mind:

"The host made excellent beef tartare, completed the side mission [Beef Tartare], and received a perfect Western food lottery. Do you want to draw the lottery immediately?"

Sure enough, it is indeed easier to make cross-level dishes with expensive ingredients.

Lin Xu felt excited.

It's a pity that Dundun is not here at the moment and can't draw the lottery directly.

He came outside with the beef, placed the plate in front of Lao Huang, and placed a fork on the table:

"Try it. If you like it, the store can make it for you every day."

Lao Huang took it and took a photo. While stirring the beef with a fork, he encouraged himself:

"It must be delicious, it must be delicious. The meat is so tender, and the color of the egg yolk is also good. Plus Brother Lin's skillful processing, how can this craftsmanship be inferior?"

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"You don't have to comfort yourself, it doesn't taste bad."

The system's rating is excellent, even if it's poor, how bad can it be?

Lao Huang nodded, picked up a piece of beef covered in egg white with his fork, and put it into his mouth as if he were dead.

He chewed for a moment, and then his eyes widened:

"What the hell? This raw beef is just like eating ice cream? Brother Lin, your craftsmanship is really amazing. It's delicious. It's so delicious."

Lao Huang picked up the plate and shoveled the meat into his mouth regardless of the image.

Lin Xu was dumbfounded by this picture of eating.

Let me go, is it really so delicious?

There happens to be a lot left in the kitchen, why not try it too?
