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

"Zi la..."

Hearing the sound of fried fish coming from the kitchen, Shen Guofu lost his mood to play games.

At this time, it would be beautiful to eat crispy fried fish with some wine.

But my wife has already told me that she wants to eat lighter at night. How can I fulfill my wish of eating fried fish and drinking wine?

"Uncle Shen, hurry up. To play Contra, we have to move forward at the same time."

Geng Lele's urging made Lao Shen suddenly react.

I can't eat by myself, but I can call for foreign help. As long as there is foreign help, drinking is not a trivial matter.

As for who the foreign aid is...

"Lele, we caught a lot of fish today, but your godfather hasn't eaten it yet. How about inviting him to eat the fish?"

Hum hum, as long as Professor Cui is here, everything will be easy to handle.

Geng Lele shook his head:

"Don't call him. He asked me to write an English review this morning. I'm going to use poison to seduce him later. I'll bring him some more after he's eaten and drunk enough to go back to school."

Shen Guofu said like an elder:

"That's not okay. If you take it over, it will get cold, and it's not polite."

Just as he was about to say a few more words, Geng Lele lowered his voice and asked softly:

"Uncle Shen, are you afraid that Aunt Han won't let you drink, so you came up with this idea?"

Shen Guofu opened his mouth. It was not good for the child to be too smart. He couldn't be frightened at all.

Relatively speaking, my silly girl is easier to deceive.

Putting away his thoughts, he asked in a low voice:

"Am I being obvious?"

"It's so obvious and too deliberate. You should call your godfather when you're fishing, tell him about the catch, and invite him to eat. That way, even if Aunt Han knows about it, she won't say anything."

"That's it, I learned another trick, thank you Lele."

Geng Lele waved her fleshy little hands:

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll send a message to my godfather now to save him from wandering to the store to wait for us."

After saying that, she picked up her phone and sent Cui Qingyuan a message:

"Dad, please come to the rescue. We caught too many fish today and we can't finish them all. Now everyone is worried. Can you, old man, come to Brother Xu's house to solve some problems?"

Cui Qingyuan had just walked out of school on a shared bicycle. When he saw this message, he immediately replied:

"Has the review been written?"

"I'm looking up words in Brother Xu's study. His study is really nicely decorated, and the bookshelves are fashionable yet practical. Godfather, you should come and take a look."

"Okay, I'll go buy some fruit."

If you go to a restaurant to eat, then go empty-handed. Anyway, Mr. Yan has charged so much money. Regardless of whether he swiped his card or not, he has already paid for the meal.

But when you go to eat at home, it’s not appropriate to go empty-handed.

Just as Cui Qingyuan was about to put away his cell phone and ride to Lin Xu’s community, Geng Lele received another message:

"Sister Yue just said she wanted to eat pineapple, cherries and Qingwang grapes. Don't forget it."

Cui Qingyuan immediately saw through his goddaughter’s intentions:

"Is this what you want to eat? By the way, I think your course is a little easier. You choose another official language from the United Nations and I will teach you."

Geng Lele frowned, she didn't expect her godfather to be so cruel.

I’m going to study professional courses while studying cultural courses for the next few years. I’m already very tired, okay? You actually think I am idle...

The little girl quickly made a choice:

"I choose Chinese."

"The review has been extended to 2,000 words, both in Chinese and English. Give it to me before ten o'clock in the evening."

"Godfather, please don't be so cruel. I'm just a child... French. Godmother doesn't know French. When I learn it, we can have encrypted calls."

Once you learn it, use French to paraphrase your godfather, let him complain about your godmother, and then translate it.

Well, fighting with your godfather is endless fun!

The little mushroom head put away his mobile phone and said to Shen Guofu:

"Done! Keep going, Uncle Shen, just follow me. The next level will be more fun."

Lao Shen was a little curious:

"Do you still have time to play Contra at school?"

"This was something I played at home out of boredom when I was four or five years old. I have already completed it countless times..."

In the kitchen, after the three kinds of small fish were cooked, Han Shuzhen tasted them respectively and made an evaluation:

"The air fryer makes it crispy enough, but it's a bit dry. The baked fish is dry and a bit hard. To be delicious, it has to be deep-fried. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside."

Lin Xu put a full plate on the plate, handed it to her and said:

"Mom, you can take it and eat it with everyone. I can handle the rest of the work in the kitchen by myself."

Han Shuzhen also knew that her cooking skills were not very good, so she did not insist and went outside with a large plate of fried fish.

"This is fried. Lao Shen, you can eat baked or air fried later, which one is more suitable for you."

After frying all these, divide half to make spicy crispy fish, and eat the other half dry. Then fry a few crucian carp that Ren Jie has cleaned up to make crucian carp stewed with tofu.

My father-in-law caught three carp, and I just got two back.

Pour the smaller ones in water and pour the sauce to make over-watered fish, and slice the larger ones into fillets to make raw fried fish fillets.

As for the six-pound catfish that my sister-in-law caught, I will just use the Cantonese cooking method to make baked catfish later.

Paired with other dishes, it's just a simple dinner.

Lin Xu finished frying all the fish, boiled water on the nearby stove to blanch the tofu, then set up a wok, added lard, browned both sides of the crucian carp, then added boiling water and tofu, and started to make soup.

The soup is slower, so you can make it in advance.

He would then lift the catfish from the pool, bleed it first, and then remove its guts.

Clean it up, sprinkle a handful of salt on the catfish, and then rub the surface of the fish vigorously to wash away the mucus on the surface.

The fishy smell of catfish mainly comes from the mucus on the body surface, which can be cleaned with salt just like cleaning pig intestines.

In addition to salt, white vinegar, flour, starch and other ingredients are effective in treating mucus.

If the catfish needs to be oiled, you can also scald it with hot water to completely remove the mucus on the surface. This will make the fish skin taste better before frying.

But if it is not fried, it is not recommended to scald it, as that will destroy the freshness of the fish skin.

Clean the fish, place it on the chopping board, chop the fish into sections with a kitchen knife, put it into a basin, add salt, light soy sauce, rice wine, green onion slices, ginger slices, and a small spoonful of sugar.

Stir evenly, then add a handful of dry starch to coat the fish with starch.

Finally, pour in some peanut oil to lock in the moisture in the fish.

Place the fish in the refrigerator to marinate.

When making raw baked dishes, the ingredients must be marinated in advance, so that they will be delicious and fragrant when baked. If not marinated, the fish will not taste good, and the taste and texture will be much different.

In the living room, everyone began to taste the cooked fish.

"Lele and I caught this together. I just want to ask you if it tastes good!"

Shen Jiayue tasted the food made in the air fryer and found it to be crispy and chewy. It was not inferior to fried food.

Haha, I will try the texture of bone-flesh and chicken wings later. If it tastes good, then I will delve into air fryer cuisine and help kitchen novices on their cooking journey.

As long as you use the air fryer well, you may not be unable to become a cooking expert.

At that time, just based on our ability, we will be able to become an air fryer immortal?

Chen Yan came over, pinched a fried golden fish and sent it to Zeng Xiaoqi:

"Open your mouth!"

Zeng Xiaoqi was moved in her heart and opened her mouth to bite it. Well, it's fragrant and crispy, so delicious.

It’s better to have baby Yan. He knew I was in a low mood and even fed me fish specially.

Just as he was thinking about it, Chen Yan sent another one.

Zeng Xiaoqi felt warm in her heart. She asked while eating:

"Why don't you eat it, baby Yan?"

"I'll eat it later."

"Why? Is it to comfort me?"

"No, I didn't wash my hands..."

Zeng Xiaoqi: "!!!!!!"

What about the good impression just now? Delete it, delete it, I’m really moved for nothing.

In the kitchen, Lin Xu brought the casserole and began to prepare the baked catfish.

Pour some lard and peanut oil into a casserole, heat it up and add whole chopped garlic, halved shallots, green onions cut into small sections, and ginger cut into sieve pieces.

Stir-fry to bring out the aroma of various ingredients.

Then spread these ingredients on the bottom of the pot, spread them flat, put the catfish in one piece, until the pot is completely covered, and then add some shallots and millet.

Catfish has a strong fishy smell, so add more ingredients such as onions, ginger, and garlic to remove the fishy smell.

Get a small basin and pour into it a small bowl of light soy sauce, half a tablespoon of oyster sauce, half a tablespoon of hoisin sauce, half a tablespoon of black bean paste, and half a tablespoon of black bean paste. A spoon of white sugar and a small bowl of rice wine, stir evenly and pour into the casserole.

Bring to a boil over high heat first, wait until the alcohol evaporates, then cover with a lid, turn down the heat to low, and start baking.

Normally, it takes about ten minutes to bake raw catfish, but today's fish is larger and has more meat, so it takes more than fifteen minutes to bake the meat.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Xu planned to make other dishes first.

I made water fish first.

Boil a pot of water, add onion and ginger into the pot, and bring to a boil over high heat.

While the water was boiling, he took out the smaller carp.

It is said to be smaller, but it still weighs two to three ounces, which is the ideal weight for making aquatic fish.

The fish was too big, the meat was not tender, and it tasted dry and woody.

And if the fish is too small, there won’t be much meat, and the fish will be boned.

Clean the fish, put it on the chopping board, and make a slash on the fish.

The knife should be deeper and cut to the backbone, so that it can be cooked thoroughly.

The distance should not be too small, about three or four centimeters, and the flower knives on both sides should be cut staggered.

When it's done cutting, the water in the pot is almost boiling.

Lin Xu opened the lid of the pot, turned down the heat, and kept the water temperature in the pot at about 90 degrees, which is the stage when dense bubbles appear on the bottom of the pot and there are slight signs of boiling on the water surface.

Add a spoonful of cooking wine, some pepper, and a small spoonful of salt into the pot, stir evenly and pour in some sesame oil.

Ren Jie on the side watched carefully.

I always find it incredible how this kind of fish is cooked.

Just boil it, will it taste delicious?

Lin Xu lifted the fish tail and applied a thin layer of starch inside the fish body.

The purpose of this is to make the fish taste smoother and more delicious.

After coating evenly, put the whole fish in, cover the pot and simmer over low heat.

The stewing process takes about five minutes or more. The soaking method can make the fish meat cooked while maximizing the moisture in the meat from being lost.

"Is it time to make the sauce next?"

Ren Jie thinks that the essence of this dish should be the sauce, because there is really no way to see how it would be delicious with this method of boiling fish in plain water.

Lin Xu nodded and said:

"Yes, it's time to make the sauce."

He brought over the green millet chili and green peppercorns that Ren Jie had chopped, and took out a few red pickled peppers from the pickle jar and chopped them into pieces as well.

Putting it in like this can not only serve as a decoration, but also give the sauce the unique sour and spicy taste of pickled peppers.

Then I prepared some minced onion, ginger, garlic and a little chopped dried tempeh.

When everything is ready, set up the wok, add a little peanut oil to the pan, heat it up, and pour the minced onion, ginger, garlic, chopped chili and pepper into the pan.

Stir-fry over high heat to dry out the water in several ingredients so that the aroma will come out.

When the spicy smell comes out of the pot, add a small spoonful of salt, pour in light and dark soy sauce, add a small spoonful of oyster sauce, then add a small spoonful of sugar, and finally pour in a bowl of water.

Stir with a spoon and simmer over low heat to allow the flavor of the sauce to fully blend into the soup.

After simmering for two minutes, the aroma of the sauce became richer.

The fish next to it had been simmering for almost five minutes. Lin Xu opened the lid of the pot and pricked the thick part of the fish spine with chopsticks.

The chopsticks poked in easily, which means the fish is already cooked.

He took out the fish with a slotted spoon, removed the onion and ginger, drained the water a little, and placed it on the fish plate.

Prepare a little water and starch, pour it into the juice in a circular motion, and then gently turn it with the back of a spoon to evenly dissolve the starch and water.

When the sauce in the pot becomes thick, pour some cooking oil on it, turn off the heat and start the pot.

Lin Xu held the wok, scooped out the sauce in the pot with a spoon, and poured a thick layer on the fish:

“When eating this dish, you need to eat it with the sauce, otherwise it won’t have much flavor. The selection of sauces is quite wide, spicy, sour, sweet and sour, sour and salty, soy sauce, spicy...you can adjust it as you like. tasty."

Ren Jie nodded and planned to show off his skills to his family during the next break.

This is already the lowest level of education in the family, so I should try my best to improve my cooking skills, otherwise I won’t be able to hold my head high in the future.

Just as the fish was cooked, Cui Qingyuan also arrived.

Shen Guofu immediately threw the game controller on the coffee table and stood up to greet him:

"Professor Cui is welcome to our home. What fruits are you going to buy? I'm not a stranger."

Cui Qingyuan glanced at the little mushroom head with a half-smile:

"I brought it along the way, it's not worth much... I heard that there were a lot of fish caught today? Then I'll go and cast a few rods later. I quite like this kind of leisure sport."

"Okay, let's go together next time."

Lin Xu brought out the fish and put it on the dining table, and Ren Jie brought out a large plate of freshly fried small crispy fish.

Then Lin Xu used chopped green onions and chopped red pickled peppers to stir-fry in the pot, poured in a large spoonful of steamed fish soy sauce to add flavor, and added a small spoonful of sugar to enhance the flavor.

After the taste is adjusted, pour a large plate of fried fish into the pan, stir quickly and evenly, and serve.

This is spicy crispy fish.

The fried fish maintains a crispy texture, and the spicy sauce hangs on the outside. It tastes full of flavor and goes well with both wine and rice.

When he brought it out, Shen Guofu had already opened a bottle of Wuliangye.

Chen Yan, Shen Jiayue and others also came to the dining table and sat down, looking at the fish with thick sauce on the table.

"Is this a water fish?"

"It smells very tempting. I don't know how it tastes."

"It must be delicious. Xu Bao has never made anything unpalatable."

The elders haven't used their chopsticks yet, so they can't eat the whole thing, but they can try the small fish. Shen Jiayue took a piece of spicy crispy fish with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth, and she suddenly exclaimed:

"It's delicious, spicy and sour, the fish is crispy, and the aftertaste is a little sweet. I can eat three big bowls of rice just for this dish."

Just as he was talking, Lin Xu brought over a small plate of kimchi, a plate of vinegared peanuts, and a large plate of glutinous rice and lotus roots left over from lunch. Because Shen Jiayue liked to eat them, he packed two lotus roots from the kitchen.

When I just packed up the fish, I reheated it with sugar water, cut it into pieces after it was heated through, and then sprinkled it with a layer of osmanthus honey. Isn't it a delicious dish?

Cui Qingyuan looked at this dish and couldn't help but said:

"What a sweet-scented osmanthus root. It's still hot. I have to try it."

Shen Guofu had filled up the wine and everyone started eating.

But Lin Xu couldn't eat right now. He had to go to the kitchen to make the fried fish fillets and the rest of the dishes.

At the dining table, after Shen Guofu took down his chopsticks, Han Shuzhen tasted the fish that was full of sauce:

"Wow, this fish is so tender. The meat inside is as tender as tofu, and the sauce outside is spicy and spicy, but not overpowering... An ordinary carp made by Xiaoxu is actually more delicious than mandarin fish and sea bass. This The craftsmanship is really good.”

Others tasted it and thought it was delicious.

It even changed everyone’s understanding of carp.

Zeng Xiaoqi, who was worried about her work, was also full of praise:

"This fish is really good. It tastes good and the meat is tender and very distinctive. Boss Lin, look back..."

She was about to say that she would go back to the TV station to film it, but then she remembered that "The World of Food" that she had planned would probably cease to exist, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad again.

If I nodded, the program would be preserved, but it would definitely be all advertising.

Cooking utensils, stoves, kitchen utensils, seasonings, ingredients, as well as soft and hard bread, etc., all came in a swarm.

In this case, no matter how high the quality of the program is, how many ratings will it get?

It's obvious that they are just here to gain popularity.

Riding on the popularity of the show, riding on the popularity of Lin Xu, riding on the popularity of the state banquet masters who appeared on the scene.

As a good friend, Zeng Xiaoqi naturally didn't want Lin Xu and others to be lowered by those people, but if they didn't agree, they would definitely be in charge in the future, and the only way out was to resign.

In the past four or five years of working in the TV station, Zeng Xiaoqi has become accustomed to personnel changes.

But if she leaves, what will happen to the rest of the show team?

Continue to be bullied by other channels?

Thinking of this, Zeng Xiaoqi touched Chen Yan with her elbow:

"Baby Yan, if I resign..."

Chen Yan, who was grabbing glutinous rice and lotus roots with Shen Jiayue and Geng Lele, was stunned for a moment. She thought this good sister was worried about her treatment and asked, so she waved her hand and said:

"Happy Media will immediately open a travel section and a master class section. You will be responsible for both sections. Your salary will be based on the deputy general manager's salary and you will be assigned a car. In addition, I will seek cooperation with CCTV to help you slap those people in the face."

As the boss, Chen Yan knew exactly what to say now.

And she felt that Zeng Xiaoqi deserved such treatment based on her ability.

Zeng Xiaoqi felt warm in her heart, shook her head and said:

"I'm not asking about my treatment, but about my colleagues on the program team..."

Chen Yan waved her hand domineeringly:

"Needless to say, as long as all your colleagues are willing to join Happy Media, their salary and benefits will be doubled, and they will also have a lot of overtime pay, subsidies, travel expenses, and year-end bonuses."

Zeng Xiaoqi opened her mouth and held back the tears in her eyes:

“What should I do if I have to pay for it?”

"Tch, I can charge one million for every meal, so what do you guys think of your salary? Stop being ink, two pieces of glutinous rice and lotus root were robbed from me just because I talked to you."

Listening to her good sisters' thoughts, Zeng Xiaoqi smiled, and then wiped her eyes with a tissue on the table:

"Today's chili is really spicy..."

She took her mobile phone and opened the work group of "The World of Food". Xiao Wei and the others were constantly sending messages. They were confused and hesitant about the whereabouts of the program team.

Zeng Xiaoqi sniffed and posted a message in the group:

"I think "Eating World" should end in its purest stage. If you stay, I wish you a better future; if you resign and leave with me, then I will lead you to create a new future!"
