Chapter 141 Son, when Are You Going to Get Engaged? The Cooking Competition Begins! 【Ask for Monthly Ticket】

"Meow~"

While Chen Meijuan was watching, she found a fat kitten rubbing her trouser legs and brushing her tail, like a child asking for a hug.

I remember my son said it in the circle of friends before.

I picked up a stray cat from the green belt of the community and kept it in the store as a lucky cat.

At that time, she reminded her son not to let cats into the kitchen and on the dining table, so as not to be disliked by customers. After all, some people like cats and some hate cats.

You cannot impose your own hobbies on others.

The little stray I picked up is this little cutie, right?

He looks really lovable.

When Chen Meijuan saw that it was clean, she bent down and held the fat little guy in her arms. She originally thought that it would resist, but unexpectedly it looked like it was enjoying itself.

He also rubbed his arm with that huge head.

Ouch!

This little guy is really a sperm!

"mom?"

Lin Xu was stunned by the movement at the door. He never expected that his mother would come over at this time.

Even if you take the earliest high-speed train, it will be at least after eight o'clock when you arrive in Beijing, right?

Mom arrived yesterday?

He quickly put down his chopsticks and came to the door, where he saw his mother holding Dundun like a baby, and the little guy curled up obediently in her arms.

Tsk…

Do you think of Dundun as your grandson?

"How could such a beautiful cat become a stray?"

Chen Meijuan felt heartbroken when she thought of such a cute little guy wandering around the community and digging through trash cans for food.

Fortunately, I met my son.

Lin Xu picked up the large and small bags on the ground and placed them on the cashier table, and asked curiously:

"When did you come? Is there a high-speed train to Beijing in the early morning?"

"I got on the train last night and bought a sleeper ticket. When I woke up, I was almost at the station. I went to the bathroom to wash my face, and got off the train refreshed with my things. It was much more comfortable than taking the high-speed rail."

While mother and son were talking.

The Shen family of three also came over.

"Hello, aunt! I miss you so much!"

Shen Jiayue held Chen Meijuan's arm and acted coquettishly, which made Han Shuzhen feel angry.

I really don’t want this girl who even turned away from her! My mother-in-law just happened to be here, why don't we get it done today?

"Auntie misses you too, Yueyue. This time I brought a lot of wild vegetables and wild mushrooms picked from the mountains. Auntie will prepare delicious food for you at noon today."

"Okay!"

Finish talking to your daughter-in-law.

Only then did Chen Meijuan focus on the middle-aged pair.

This is your in-laws, right?

Just as she was about to speak, Han Shuzhen spoke first:

"Welcome to the capital, mother-in-law, your Xiaoxu's cooking is really great. We can't wait to eat here three times a day."

So you want to abduct my son?

Chen Meijuan said with a smile:

"As long as I don't cause any trouble with you guys, my children are not sensible and can't speak and do things with their brains. If there is anything that makes you unhappy, don't take it personally."

Han Shuzhen: "..."

Xiaoxu is such a well-behaved child, but you, the mother, actually say that he is ignorant and that he speaks and does things without thinking... Why do the more I listen, the more I feel that you are Yueyue in my family?

The two were about to have another confrontation.

Shen Guofu said:

"You haven't eaten yet, mother-in-law, come on, come on, try the pan-fried buns made by your young master. The taste is really amazing."

Chen Meijuan smiled and agreed:

"Okay, okay, I'm hungry... Where can I put this cat?"

Han Shuzhen reached out and took it:

"Give it to me. Dundun always kisses me. Now I look at it like a grandson."

"It's called Dundun? It looks very similar to it."

Dundun treats both grandma and grandma equally.

After coming into Han Shuzhen's arms, she also looked like she was enjoying herself, making Han Shuzhen reluctant to let go.

When Chen Meijuan said a few polite words and went inside to wash her hands.

Shen Jiayue on the side curiously pulled at Dundun in her mother's arms:

"It's so strange. Why is it nice to you, my mother-in-law, and my dad and Xu Bao, but not me?"

Han Shuzhen rolled her eyes at her daughter.

Your future mother-in-law has already connoted it, so why are you wondering about this kind of question here?

She said angrily:

"Maybe Dundun can tell a person's character. He will play with whoever has good character."

Shen Jiayue's expression became even more confused:

"Well...then it shouldn't kiss you!"

Han Shuzhen:? ? ? ? ? ?

Damn girl, you’re really itchy, aren’t you? Do I have to beat you up before you get married?

Seeing her mother's expression change, Shen Jiayue said with a smile:

"Mom, why are you still angry? You were the one who told me first. Come on, Director Han, why am I wrong? You are the best mother in the world. No one can compare with you!"

He is also very good at coaxing people.

But when it's annoying, it's enough to piss people off.

Han Shuzhen sighed helplessly.

What evil did you do in your previous life to end up with such a girl?

Look at my son. He is sensible, well-behaved and has good skills. He is simply impeccable.

Let’s look at my own daughter... Forget it, I’ll be annoyed when I see her!

Place Dundun on the mat at the cash register.

Mother and daughter returned to the dining table again.

At this time, Chen Meijuan also washed her hands, and everyone sat around the dining table again.

"Oh, these pan-fried buns look really good. Do you still remember the pan-fried buns I made for you when you were a sophomore in college? They are far worse than this."

Chen Meijuan bit into the fried buns and took a sip of the fragrant, rich and slightly hot soup inside. The fatigue of the journey was immediately swept away.

This tastes amazing.

In the past, I only thought my son’s hand-made noodles and chicken feet were delicious.

I didn’t expect that making pan-fried buns would be so good.

I really should let Lao Lin try it. This taste and texture are worth it, let alone just lying down on a narrow berth in the train for a night, even if you come with a hard seat or no seats.

After drinking the soup, I eat the steamed buns and the meat stuffing that has been clumped into balls inside. It has a new texture.

Of course, the most delicious thing is the browned crust at the bottom of the buns, which tastes crispy and crispy, and is mixed with the aroma of the noodles and fillings.

A bun is eaten.

Scoop up the wontons and take a bite.

The smooth crust paired with the fragrant filling is delicious!

My son’s craftsmanship is really nothing to say.

Whatever you do.

No wonder that Master Gao would like his son to be his apprentice.

If you were a chef, you wouldn't be able to restrain your love for talent when you meet such a talented child, right?

Lin Xu said:

"Actually, the pan-fried pancake is very simple. Compared with what you made at that time, I just put some more pig skin jelly in it. This way, the soup tastes fragrant and fresh, and it tastes better than the stuffing without soup. "

Can pig skin jelly be used as stuffing?

Han Shuzhen couldn't talk about this kind of topic at all.

It always sounds very novel.

Shen Jiayue, who often watches videos at work, knows a little bit:

"Pork skin jelly can not only be made into pan-fried buns, but also soup dumplings. Am I right, Xu Bao?"

"Yes, you can make soup dumplings...but using pork skin jelly to make soup dumplings is too greasy, so many chefs now choose to add onion, ginger and pepper water to increase moisture."

Like beef, onion and ginger water can also be added to the pork filling to increase moisture.

And compared to beef slices, the pork filling can contain more water. After beating, the meat filling will still be in a viscous state, without leaking soup or spilling water, just like normal steamed bun filling.

And during the steaming process.

Because the meat filling is strong, it will clump together and form a meatball shape, and the water inside will be steamed out, becoming the soup in the soup dumplings.

In addition to soup dumplings, similar methods are also used for dishes such as crab roe dumplings and xiaolongbao.

"Wow, stop talking, it makes me want to eat crab roe buns..."

Shen Jiayue swallowed hard after hearing this.

Then Lin Xu heard the system prompt:

"The host is obsessed with making soup dumplings, triggering the reward task [Crab Roe Buns]: The host is asked to use existing techniques to make excellent or above crab roe buns within ten days and get Shen Jiayue's approval. After completion, the host will be rewarded with excellent aquatic products. Draw once.”

Is this okay?

Lin Xu didn't expect that he was just talking casually, and Shen Jiayue also said something casually, and then triggered the reward task.

I should have known it would have been diverted to other dishes.

For example, braised dishes or griddle dishes suitable for sale in stores, maybe a few green vegetables, which are currently lacking in stores.

It's a pity that the system didn't listen to Lin Xu's complaints.

He slandered in his mind for a long time but didn't get any response.

"Want to eat crab roe buns? I'll make some for you to try after I'm done with the competition. I also want to taste how delicious the soup buns you eat with a straw are."

"Okay, okay! Then I'll wait to eat!"

Shen Jiayue rubbed Lin Xu happily.

Hoho!

You can eat crab roe buns!

After breakfast.

The three members of the Shen family said goodbye to Chen Meijuan and went to work.

Lin Xuda was just going to work in the kitchen when his mother suddenly pulled him aside:

"Ersha, when are you going to get engaged to Yueyue? My parents come here for dinner every day, so you have to find an opportunity to seize the opportunity to settle down. I don't want to miss such a good daughter-in-law."

got engaged?

Isn't this too fast?

It's only been a few days since we confirmed our relationship, can't we wait any longer?

He said to his mother:

"Don't be in a hurry. I've been very busy recently. I have plans every day. Let's wait until my career becomes more stable, or at least wait until the store expands before getting engaged. That way I can achieve good results."

In the next ten days, various main missions and side missions will be completed, and I have to seize the time to attack these missions.

This will add a series of new dishes to the store.

And you can also face new tasks and challenges.

When I save enough money, I will rent out several nearby shops and expand the store.

It won't be too late to get engaged by then.

Chen Meijuan can't talk about her son.

All he had to say was:

"Anyway, I recognize Yueyue as my daughter-in-law. If you lose her, I won't be able to forgive you."

Such a good daughter-in-law must be stared at by many people.

Why is this silly son of mine not in a hurry?

In order to prevent my mother from continuing to dwell on this issue.

Lin Xu took the initiative to change the topic:

"Mom, when are you going back? In a few days I'm going to Diaoyutai State Guesthouse to participate in a cooking competition. How about you stay for two more days and watch the competition before going back?"

As soon as she heard that she was going to Diaoyutai to participate in the competition, Chen Meijuan's attention was drawn to it:

"When is the game?"

"Next Wednesday, there are still five days."

When Chen Meijuan heard that there were still five days left, she immediately lost interest.

She is now focused on running the scenic spot in her hometown and has long lost interest in cooking.

"Will there be a live broadcast online then?"

"There should be. Wu Kexin seemed to have made a special notice before."

"Then I'll watch the live broadcast online. The business in the scenic area is getting better and better. The occupancy rate of the Cliff Hotel has actually reached 100% in the past two days. I have to go back and keep an eye on it. Your dad can't handle it alone."

Is business so good?

Lin Xu also plans to take Dundun back to increase the popularity of the scenic spot when the new store expands.

I didn’t expect that the business in the scenic spot would be so good.

"That's just a coincidence. Under normal circumstances, the occupancy rate of Cliff Hotel is still about 30%. Although it is higher than before, it is still incomparable with other scenic spots that are full every day."

noon.

Pan Da and Wu Kexin, who learned of Chen Meijuan's arrival, came to the store to visit.

Then the two of them had a wave of wild mushroom soup noodles made by Chen Meijuan.

Pour a spoonful of toppings made from a variety of wild mushrooms and pork belly slices onto the freshly cooked hand-rolled noodles, and the taste is simply unforgettable.

Lin Xu ate so much that he even regretted the frying technique last night.

I wish I could imitate my mother’s wild mushroom topping.

This requires solving the problem of raw materials. People eating are not allowed to line up across the road.

It's a pity that the amount of wild mountain mushrooms is not much.

Just try it out.

Lin Xu did not have a cooking study card, nor did he have so many wild mushrooms for him to practice his cooking skills.

So I had to give up.

The next two days.

Business in the store has calmed down.

Dou Wenjing finally completed all the procedures for Pangdundun Company, and also settled all the previous invoices owed to the audit office.

There is an invoice printer installed next to the cashier.

Customers who want invoices can print out the invoices directly without having to tear up fixed-amount invoices like in the past.

Chen Meijuan has been relatively relaxed these two days.

In addition to helping her son tidy up the room and change the sheets and quilts, he and Shen Jiayue also went shopping for clothes.

She originally planned to spend money to buy some clothes for her daughter-in-law, but Shen Jiayue rushed to pay every time, so she bought a lot of clothes herself.

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along just like mother and daughter.

Shen Jiayue even started calling her mom.

Chen Meijuan was so happy that she urged her son to get engaged quickly after returning.

The nearby store acquisitions are also in full swing. Uncle Yu is quite gossipy. In addition, there are many people coming and going in his supermarket, which brings new battle reports every day.

For example, the landlord of the bakery next door opened his mouth.

For example, the landlord of a clothing store is eager to use money to fill his son's online gambling hole.

Uncle Yu, who guards his supermarket every day, seems to be the head of an intelligence station. As long as he comes in, there will always be new news or gossip.

"Xiao Lin, the bakery next door has also been taken down. When the time comes for the mysterious rich man to show up, you have to calm down."

Lin Xu found it very interesting.

Originally, people just bought shops.

But in Uncle Yu's mouth, there is always a feeling that a storm is about to come.

It seems that there are really two black hands behind the scenes to deal with him.

However, he waited for several days but did not wait for the mastermind to appear.

And the time came on Wednesday.

The cooking competition starts now!

There is a heavy rain here today. In order to prevent the power outage from causing the update to be interrupted, I will update 4,000 words first. If there is no power outage in the afternoon, there will be a big chapter, brothers!
