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

"Xubao, besides vinegar and spicy, what else can this fish taste like?"

Shen Jiayue's words brought Lin Xu back to his senses. He thought for a while and said:

"Theoretically, you can also make ginger juice, garlic flavor, green onion flavor, vinegar pepper, fresh pepper, hot and sour... But whether they taste good or not, you have to try them one after another. After all, not all flavors are suitable for this crispy texture. .”

"Then you do it. I can reluctantly help you check it. If possible, there will be another innovative dish in the store."

Shen Jiayue looked like she was sacrificing herself for others, which made Chen Yan couldn't help but sneer:

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, don't be afraid to make yourself fat. If you continue to eat, just wait for everyone to see the swimming ring on your belly during the wedding."

Shen Jiayue said with a smile:

"It doesn't matter, we decided to wear Chinese clothes. We don't need to wear a wedding dress."

Diaoyutai Building No. 1 is a classic royal building, with the same style as the buildings in the Forbidden City, and the banquet hall inside is even more antique.

It would be somewhat inappropriate to wear a Western-style wedding dress for a wedding in a place like this.

So I changed it to a Chinese dress so that I could wear something thicker. After all, the day of the wedding was the coldest period of the year.

Although the heating in the banquet hall is sufficient, in such a cold weather, with bare shoulders and a long skirt, it is not as comfortable as Xiuhe Suit. After all, you can wear a sweater and leggings under Xiuhe Suit, which can directly maximize the warmth.

After hearing Shen Jiayue's words, Chen Yan said with some pride:

"Fortunately, we have chosen to get married on May Day next year. By then the spring will be warm and the flowers will bloom, and I will be able to wear a beautiful white wedding dress and walk into the wedding hall."

"Wear it, wear it. As the saying goes, beauty comes with age. At such an age, it's time to dress more beautifully."

Chen Yan's expression froze, and she was always beaten due to her age.

Isn’t it amazing that you are young?

She angrily took a bite of the vinegar-braised cabbage on the table, and was immediately surprised by the crisp and sour taste:

"Wow, this stir-fried cabbage is delicious. Did you make it, brother-in-law?"

Lin Xu shook his head:

"Master Qin made it. I was frying fish just now and didn't pay attention."

He picked up the cabbage and gave it a taste. It was indeed sour, spicy and crispy, and there was no soup at the bottom of the plate. It was not like what we make at home, with one plate of vegetables and half a plate of soup.

"How is this cabbage made? It's so delicious."

Lin Xu has more experience now, and he can guess the recipe of the dish after just one taste:

"Cut the cabbage into strips. When cutting, cut off the tendons diagonally. After cutting, use salt to kill the water to get rid of the excess water. This way, the texture will be crisper and there will be no strange smell of cabbage."

Having said this, he turned to Qin Wei who was eating Shaomai at the next table and asked:

"Master Qin, besides these, what else should we pay attention to?"

"Don't...don't put ginger...ginger...it will take away the flavor."

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"With just one sentence, you revealed a trade secret that many people have been pondering for years but couldn't figure out."

Taking another bite of cabbage, he found that the aroma of garlic and dried chili peppers was quite strong. This should be done according to the restaurant's method. First fry the dried chili peppers to get the aroma, then pour in the boiled cabbage and stir-fry over high heat for 30 seconds. Seconds, and finally pour into a bowl of gravy mixed with garlic slices, water starch, light soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, dark soy sauce, sugar, salt, sesame oil and other condiments.

The so-called bowl of gravy is a name for Shandong cuisine.

It means to blend the required sauce with water starch in advance, hold it in a bowl, and pour it into the pot when the dish is about to mature. Seasoning, coloring, battering, and flavoring are all done in one go.

Not only Shandong cuisine uses bowls of gravy, but other quick-fried dishes in other cuisines have similar methods.

But if you are making it at home, it is best not to mix the soup with the soup. It is better to add the seasonings step by step.

Because the firepower of small household stoves is too weak, if you pour half or more of the soup into the pot at a time, the temperature in the pot will drop rapidly, and it will take half a day to heat up before it comes back up. In this short period of time, the taste and aroma of the dishes will be enhanced. Discount.

There are no such scruples when cooking in restaurants. Once the planetary engine is turned on, the temperature in the pot will always be maintained at the highest point. The dishes produced in this way will naturally be delicious.

There were a lot of cabbage gang members today, so everyone practiced.

In addition to Qin Wei making vinegar-braised cabbage, Wei Gan stir-fried hot and sour cabbage, and Zhu Yong cut the cabbage into thin strips and made cold shredded cabbage with soft white sugar and balsamic vinegar.

Shen Guofu liked the cold shredded cabbage better. He ate several bites and said to Lin Xu:

"This dish reminds me of the mustard dumplings I ate in the past. Xiaoxu, please make some when you're not busy. Have a bite in the winter. It's refreshing and appetizing. It's especially suitable for eating meat."

Lin Xu nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll start making the yellow mustard tomorrow after I buy it."

While eating, Lin Xu received a message on his phone. He opened it and saw that it was from Lao Sun:

"Xiao Xu, I went back to my hometown two days ago. All the procedures for the association have been completed. I just got it. Do you think we should take advantage of the holiday to socialize with all the members of the association?"

In addition to this news, Lin Xu also saw the picture sent by Uncle Sun, which was about the establishment of the Yingchun Street Fishing Association.

However, there will be several more reviews in the future. If it fails to pass, it will still be canceled by the street office.

Seeing this, the system prompt sounded in Lin Xu's mind:

"The host established the Yingchun Street Fishing Association, completed the side task [Establishing the Association], and received a perfect Sichuan flavor lottery draw. Do you want to draw the lottery immediately?"

Haha, the mission was completed at the buzzer.

Lin Xu's face was full of surprise. He had not taken care of the association since he left it to Lao Suntou. He originally thought that this task was going to go to waste, but he didn't expect that it was actually completed.

What an unexpected surprise!

As for the lottery, the flavor lottery is more important, because if you draw the popular flavor, you may get ten or twenty more dishes at once.

So Lin Xu planned to find Dundun to smoke after dinner.

Raise a cat for a thousand days, use a cat for a while.

It's time for my son to use his professional skills.

Shen Jiayue is still thinking about eating mustard dumplings at this moment, which is a little hobby of people in the capital.

Add white sugar, rice vinegar and a little salt to the fermented mustard, mix well and apply it to the blanched cabbage leaves, then roll it into a roll, pierce it with toothpicks and cut it into small sections, marinate it in the refrigerator and enjoy.

In the winter, you can eat hot-boiled meat around the charcoal stove, or take a bite when nibbling on sheep and scorpions. The pungent taste of yellow mustard and the cool and refreshing feeling of cabbage can make people feel comfortable and refreshed.

"Xubao, besides making mustard dumplings, what else can yellow mustard do?"

Lin Xu thought for a while and said:

"We can also make mustard duck feet...do you want to try it?"

"Think~~~"

"Then let me make some tomorrow. If the effect is good, I will make a new one in the store. Tomorrow is the new year. I will serve a new dish to welcome the new year."

Although there is a holiday on New Year's Day, Chinese people do not have the custom of celebrating New Year's Day.

That is to say, business people like to carry out New Year's Day promotions under the banner of Chinese New Year.

Lin Xuchong said to Lao Huang:

"When you deliver the food tomorrow, bring some good quality yellow mustard, and some duck feet by the way. I'll give it a try first, and if it works, I'll officially serve the new mustard duck feet."

The dish mustard duck feet is very popular in Beijing. The reason why Lin Ji has never made a new dish is because the step of removing the bones is too troublesome.

As for the finished boneless duck feet, I worry about the quality.

After all, many boneless chicken feet are made by hiring people in black workshops to tear them apart and gnaw them. Duck feet, which are similar to chicken feet, should not be much better.

If you want to eat it, it is safer to remove the bones yourself.

For others, bone removal is quite difficult, but for Lin Xu, whose knife skills have reached a perfect level, it is not difficult at all.

After dinner, everyone enjoyed themselves this time.

Shen Jiayue planned to go back early and planned to take advantage of dinner time to find out the highlights since filming Dundun and make an annual video collection as a personal summary.

In addition, fans who like Dundun will enjoy watching it.

Lin Xu wasn't too busy at the moment. He was going to draw the Sichuan cuisine prize so that he wouldn't be distracted from work by thinking about it all the time.

Coming downstairs, Shen Jiayue was carrying a backpack and was preparing to take Dundun home early.

The service desk of the store is facing the door. When a customer comes in, there will be a rush of cold wind. After the weather gets cold, the temperature outside is even lower. Relatively speaking, the heating at home has been kept at more than 20 degrees, which is the temperature that cats like. .

"Dundun, meet dad again."

Shen Jiayue held Dundun in her arms, grabbed Dundun's front paws and waved to Lin Xu.

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"I'll first ask Dundun what he wants to eat at night. Tonight is the New Year's Eve. I want to eat well and welcome the new year in the best condition."

He took Dundun from Shen Jiayue's arms and strode to the aquarium on the other side. There were all kinds of aquatic products and fish in it, and there were many kinds.

Dundun didn't pay attention at first, but when he saw these aquatic products, his eyes widened.

After choosing for a long time, the little guy finally pointed with his paw at a relatively large sturgeon in the aquarium.

"Want to eat sturgeon? Okay, I'll take one back when I leave later, and our family will reimburse the fish."

Although these sturgeons are artificially bred, their taste and texture are not bad.

Whether steamed or stewed, it can make people's eyes shine.

After deciding to eat sturgeon, Lin Xu silently said in his heart:

"lottery!"

A lottery plate appeared in my mind, with the twenty-four flavors of Sichuan cuisine on it.

After some operations, the system prompt sounded in my mind:

"Congratulations to the host for getting the perfect Sichuan cuisine flavor - spicy flavor."

Spicy?

Lin Xu had a look of surprise on his face, he didn't expect to get this popular flavor.

Sichuan cuisine's famous spicy diced chicken, spicy diced fish, spicy diced rabbit and other dishes that have diced meat among the peppers all have this flavor. It can be said that every dish is super classic and super rice-consuming.

Sure enough, the strategy of currying favor with his son in advance was the right one.

If you had drawn a lottery while holding Dundun before, you might have been able to draw some unpopular or overlapping flavors, such as ginger flavor, sweet and sour flavor, etc.

"Meow~~~~"

After Dundun drew the lottery, he saw his father standing there blankly, and couldn't help but urge him.

I helped you draw the lottery, why don't you let me go? I’m still waiting to go home and watch cartoons!

Lin Xu smiled and rubbed the little guy's head:

"Go back with your mother. I will take this sturgeon home after I finish my work and let you taste the taste of sturgeon."

After handing Dundun to Shen Jiayue, Lin Xu came upstairs and started working on the evening dishes.

Due to the holiday, there were a lot of customers. Before 5:30 in the afternoon, the store was full of customers. Many of them came with their families, and some even had several families having dinner together.

Taking advantage of the holidays, it is time for migrant workers to relax after a busy year.

But some people are relaxed, and some people still have a sad look on their faces even if they are eating the Linji delicacies that they miss so much.

"Our company says the benefits are not good and only one-third of the year-end bonus is given."

"One third is not bad. Our company has canceled everything. We have been busy for a year and are just waiting for the year-end bonus to celebrate the New Year..."

"Looking at those people in the circle of friends showing off their year-end bonuses, I feel so envious and jealous."

"Come on, come on, let's go. It's like attending the boss's funeral."

"I didn't plan to drink, but you said the boss's funeral...waiter, another bottle of Niu Er!"

Brother Qiang and his wife were sitting in a window seat, also chatting about the year-end bonus.

Qi Panpan held a piece of pressed pork head and said angrily:

"Last month, several R\u0026D officers in the technology department helped the company earn tens of millions. The damn boss actually said that the results were not good and that the year-end bonus was cancelled. I have already decided that as long as I dare to cancel it, I will take everyone to work together. Report to the bureau.”

Sister Panpan has always been a proletarian fighter.

Normally she would like to teach her boss a lesson when she has nothing to do, but now the company actually released the news that the year-end bonus was cancelled, which suddenly made her angry.

Brother Qiang said:

"Don't be anxious, just be patient. After all, your job pays pretty well."

In order to suppress Brother Qiang, the former boss specially hired Qi Panpan, who "seemed to be very obedient", but unexpectedly, they actually hired an ancestor.

The company only announced the cancellation of the year-end bonus, but Qi Panpan was ready to report to the Labor Bureau. As long as the bonus of the technical department was not paid according to regulations, he would report it.

Anyway, we don’t have to worry about work, we can just look for it later, but if the company loses its technical department, it will collapse in minutes.

Qi Panpan said:

"I have to teach him a lesson, lest he think that young people today are easy to bully... Bald Qiang, I'm going to lose my job, will you support me?"

"Fine, I'll give you my salary card, no problem."

"Tch, who asked you to support me? I have already decided. If you are not satisfied this time, I will take the entire technical department to become independent and start my own company, specifically taking over outsourced work."

Unlike Brother Qiang who follows Yu Er'an, Qi Panpan has a strong career ambition.

As soon as she said this, Chen Yan and Ren Jie came down from upstairs. When they saw them, they came over to say hello. They happened to hear Qi Panpan's words and asked with a smile:

"Panpan wants to start a business?"

Qi Panpan smiled sheepishly:

"It's just that I'm addicted to talking. I have no capital and no connections. It's not easy to start a business."

"You don't have it like I do. Not only me, but also my cousin, my brother-in-law, even my uncle, and Mr. Yan all want to invest in new projects. If you think it's appropriate, we can talk about this specifically later."

Rich people never refuse opportunities to make money, especially in emerging industries. Even if the investment fails, you can still gain a wave of experience.

Qi Panpan's eyes widened and she asked in disbelief:

"Mr. Chen, are you really...really willing to invest?"

"It depends on whether the project is profitable or not. If you want to get a project to install elevators in the Himalayas or tile the Great Wall, I will definitely not invest in it."

Qi Panpan smiled:

"Absolutely not. With Mr. Chen's words, I will have more confidence to scold our boss."

Chen Yan did not disturb the two of them, and said to Brother Qiang:

"Remember to come to the Fishing Association tomorrow to participate in our fisherman's first social gathering. With the Fishing Association, let's see who dares to steal Uncle Sun's fishing spots in the future."

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I promise to arrive tomorrow. I'm just going to share my experience in choosing fishing rods with you."

After Chen Yan left, Qi Panpan said with emotion:

"I never thought that you, a fool, would be lucky enough to meet such good people as Boss Lin."

Brother Qiang looked at her and smiled:

"Meeting them is not a fool's blessing, but meeting you is. I never dreamed that I would find a female boss as my girlfriend..."

Qi Panpan's old face turned red, then her almond-shaped eyes widened:

"You have a smooth tongue, and I feel like you are a veteran in love. Tell me, I have been in a few relationships before!"

Brother Qiang: "!!!!!!!!!"

It is said on the Internet that a straight man can warm his girlfriend's heart by suddenly talking about love. Why did I encounter political censorship when I said this?

What went wrong?

At almost eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Xu finished the work at hand, told Wei Gan, changed clothes, went downstairs, fished out the sturgeon from the aquarium, and drove home with it.

When he just left the store, the system prompt sounded in his mind again:

"Congratulations to the host for completing the limited-time mission [Staff Training]. During the mission, the host earned 523 points. These points can be exchanged for one S-level gift pack, or five A-level gift packs, or at the price of 50 points. Let’s hold a lottery for perfect dishes.”

I'll go and draw again.

Lin Xu started the car and planned to go home and hold Dundun in his arms to study it carefully.

For non-Emirates, it is better to participate as little as possible in activities such as lottery to avoid being cheated by the system.

After all, this system has been imitating the routines of domestic junk games. For example, now, it is directly described as a gift package without any hints about what is inside.

Accidentally, the points earned this month were wasted.

In this case, you have to guard against it.

Arriving at home, Lin Xu carried the fish upstairs. Shen Jiayue was editing videos in the study upstairs, while Dundun was lying on the sofa, concentrating on watching Tom and Jerry on the tablet.

Next to the little guy, there is the Big Big Wolf doll that Chen Yan gave him today.

Well, to it, this is not a doll, but a little friend to play with.

Since we are friends, we naturally want to watch cartoons together.

Lin Xu put the fish into the kitchen water tank, then came to Dundun and asked in a low voice:

"Son, which one would you choose between an S-level gift pack and five A-level gift packs?"

When Dundun heard this, he clicked on the tablet. The animation paused, and there happened to be an S letter on the screen.

This...is this Dundun's strength?

Lin Xu was a little surprised, and then said silently in his heart:

"Choose the S-level gift package!"

The system prompt sounded immediately in my mind:

"The S-level gift package is being prepared, please wait..."

On the sofa, Dundun patted Big Big Wolf on the head, touched the screen with his paw, and continued watching the cartoon.

I originally thought that by following my parents, I could be a happy little baby who would have a peaceful life, but I didn't expect that I would become the head of the family and have to worry about everything at home.

Is this the fate of cats?

The little guy wagged his tail and frowned slightly.

I really want to be a carefree and happy little silly cat, but unfortunately my strength does not allow me to keep a low profile...
