Chapter 167 Making Winter Melon Candy! Anyone Want to Eat Crayfish? Deduct 1 if You Want to Eat! 【Ask for Monthly Ticket】

"Are you angry Dundun?"

Return to the restaurant on Building 2.

As soon as she entered the door, Dundun jumped out of Lin Xu's arms and jumped into Shu Yun's arms. Her head was still buried deeply in her arms, looking like she had been wronged.

No matter how Lin Xu talked to it, the little guy ignored it.

"What happened to you?"

"I just held it and threw it, who knew it scared it..."

Shu Yun felt that Lin Xu and Dun Dun were really a pair of estranged father and son.

Why leave the child behind when everything is fine?

"You go to the kitchen and work, I'll coax it."

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble you, Manager Shu."

Lin Xu came to the kitchen, washed his hands carefully, and then continued cooking according to the order.

7 p.m.

After confirming that there were no new customers ordering food, Lin Xu officially got off work.

While he was changing clothes, Xie Baomin came over and asked with a smile:

"Junior brother, how do you feel about your first day at work?"

"It feels... it feels like a vacation."

Lin Xu never thought that being a chef in a restaurant would be so relaxing.

He only made about ten dishes all day today. If he wasn't busy making crab roe buns, he would probably have time to chat with the crab bosses in the aquatic area.

Xie Baomin took a sip of tea from the tea cup and said with a smile:

"This has completely boosted the business in our second building. It has been a long time since business was as good as it is today."

Is business good today?

Lin Xu recalled that there were more than a dozen tables of customers at noon and evening. Not to mention the table turnover rate, not even half of the seats in the lobby were filled.

Brother, do you have any misunderstandings about good business?

"Today the restaurant's turnover exceeded 300,000..."

Lin Xu:? ? ? ?

Sorry, I was careless!

He never imagined that today's half-dead business would actually have such a high turnover, which was almost the same as Lin Ji Food's weekly turnover.

Think about the terrifying customer flow of Linji Food.

Think about the heavy workload of Lin Ji’s kitchen.

Look here again...

Sure enough, price increases are the source of economic growth!

"What's your usual daily turnover here?"

He looked at Xie Baomin and asked.

At first I thought Dundun didn't work.

Now it seems that this little guy not only played well, but even played a little too long.

"Normally it's seven to eighty thousand or more than a hundred thousand, but occasionally it can reach two hundred thousand, and it only reaches three hundred thousand on holidays... It's all thanks to you, junior brother!"

But it's not.

It's some angry little cutie outside.

I really didn’t expect that the senior brother just heard everyone calling Dun Dun Lucky Cat and thought this gimmick was good, so he asked this little guy to follow him to Diaoyutai.

Who knew there would be such a big harvest.

If I had known earlier, I would have helped Dundun get a share of his salary.

After all, it’s hard for a cat to be held by a beautiful woman.

Farewell senior brother.

Lin Xu came outside with the car keys.

Open all four doors of the car to let the hot air inside dissipate, then start the car and turn on the air conditioner to cool down the temperature in the car.

Return to the front desk.

Dundun was still being held by Shu Yun. When he saw Lin Xu coming over, he immediately turned his little head away, looking as if he was still angry.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Manager Shu, please give me Dundun. We are about to get off work."

"Meow~~~~"

Before Shu Yun could speak, Dundun in her arms protested first.

Lin Xu smiled and held it in his arms:

"A new toy arrived today, why don't you play with it?"

Dundun: "..."

How disgusting, you actually used toys to seduce me!

What kitten can resist this temptation?

It immediately stopped struggling and nuzzled Lin Xu's shoulder with its head.

"Giggle... Your Dundun is so cute. Don't forget to bring it tomorrow, Boss Lin."

"Don't worry, Manager Shu, I will definitely do it."

When they got to the car, the little guy immediately ran to the rear windshield and lay down on his stomach, carefully looking at the scenery outside.

Lin Xu started the car and slowly drove out of Diaoyutai and went straight to Yingchun Street.

This is usually the busiest time in the store.

But today I was able to go home from get off work.

It feels so good to work part-time!

When passing through the North Fourth Ring Road, Lin Xu saw a long line of people queuing up in front of the fried fish shop at the entrance of Yingchun Street. He even saw a certain mushroom head who was keen on skipping classes.

Tsk…

I skipped class and went to the school gate to buy fried pancakes. This foodie trait was truly inherited by Mr. Tateyama.

When we arrived at Yingchun Street, we could see the location of Linji Food in the distance, which was now surrounded by green barriers.

In this way, the decoration inside will not affect pedestrians outside, and it can also effectively prevent idlers from entering the construction site and causing accidents such as electric shock.

Lin Xu parked the car in a parking space on the roadside and went to the inn to pick up today's express package.

There are self-pleasure toys that Shen Jiayue bought for Dundun, as well as new cat litter and new cat scratching posts.

After moving these into the trunk of the car, he was about to drive to the community. At the entrance of the supermarket not far away, Uncle Yu, who had just come out of the store and was about to get some air, saw him and shouted quickly:

"Boss Xiao Lin, the winter melon is here, when will you start making winter melon candy?"

"Then now."

When I arrived at the supermarket, I happened to encounter a few staff members putting freshly delivered crayfish into the aquarium.

These shrimps are quite big, and they burst into joy after being dumped into the aquarium. From time to time, they would wave their big pincers and fight with their companions, as if they were trying to compete for the top spot in Causeway Bay.

Tsk, these shrimps are really good.

In the vegetable section, the white-skinned winter melon used to make winter melon candy has been prepared. There is also a bag of about ten kilograms of white sugar and a bag of edible quicklime.

This is an essential ingredient for making winter melon candy.

"I won't take any more sugar. There are dozens of kilograms of white sugar left in the store piled up at home. I'm worried that it will melt."

He cut half a winter melon and held it in his arms, and took some quicklime to leave.

The first time you make it, try the taste first. If it works, you can make it in the back kitchen of Diaoyutai. It is more spacious and the pot is bigger, so it is much easier to use than a small family stove.

After taking just two steps, Lin Xu suddenly saw several old pumpkins placed in the fresh food area not far away.

Winter melon can be made into candy, so the same method used to make winter melon candy should also be used to make pumpkin into candy, right?

He decided to give it a try.

After talking to Uncle Yu.

Lin Xu had more than half of the old pumpkin in his arms.

Drive back to the community.

Send Dundun up first, and then come down to move the winter melons, pumpkins and various express boxes.

After everything is moved, disassemble the toys and assemble them.

Dundun was already a little impatient at this moment, surrounding Lin Xu and planning to help. Occasionally, he would pull the toy parts on the ground a few times, as if he wanted to do it faster.

This is an electric mouse that can turn around on its own.

After installing the battery, Lin Xu turned on the switch, and the little mouse made a squeaking sound, and then ran forward on four wheels. When it was about to hit the sofa, it automatically turned in another direction and continued running forward.

Dundun followed, a little scared and a little curious.

Occasionally, he would jump over and stretch out his paw to hit the little mouse.

Seeing that it was having fun, Lin Xu disassembled the other express delivery boxes and placed the cartons in the open space behind the sofa.

For cats, this is the cat’s nest.

Finished with this.

He washed his hands and came to the kitchen.

Pour the edible quicklime into a large basin, add water, stir well and set aside.

Quicklime is rich in calcium ions. Cut the winter melon into strips and soak it in it. The calcium ions will make the originally soft winter melon hard and brittle.

The source of the crispy texture of winter melon candy is quicklime.

However, ordinary lime is not edible.

You need to use special edible quicklime.

This kind of quicklime is said to be processed from clam shells, so it's okay to eat it.

However, not all limewater is used.

Instead, pour the quicklime into the water, stir evenly and clarify it. As long as the upper part of the water is clear, the small particles settling below are of little use.

After finishing the lime water, Lin Xu placed the winter melon on the chopping board.

Peel it first, then separate it, and scoop out the pulp of the winter melon, leaving only the hard part. This will make the winter melon candy delicious.

After removing the pulp, use a kitchen knife to cut the winter melon into strips about ten centimeters long and one centimeter square.

After everything was cut, he cooked the pumpkin in the same way.

Soon, winter melon and pumpkin were cut into a pot each.

Pour the clarified lime water into the basin and soak the winter melon strips and pumpkin strips.

Then put the basin into the refrigerator compartment and soak overnight.

Regardless of whether it is winter melon strips or pumpkin strips, they will become hard and crispy.

Only then can the next step be taken.

What to do next?

Seeing that Dundun was having fun, Lin Xu didn't bother the little guy. Instead, he changed his shoes and went downstairs, planning to visit the construction site.

Well, although full power has been given to Dou Wenjing.

But we can’t turn a blind eye.

After all, this is your own business. Buying a car or a house in the future will all depend on this store.

As soon as he arrived downstairs, he saw Dou Wenjing and beautiful reporter Zeng Xiaoqi walking out of the construction site wearing safety helmets.

"Mr. Lin, the store has been demolished, the equipment has been sold out, and all the parts that need to be demolished from the first to the third floor have been demolished. Hardware construction will be carried out tomorrow."

Dou Wenjing came over and reported the renovation progress in an orderly manner.

On the day the decoration contract was signed, Shen Guofu transferred several million to the company's account. This was the decoration money he personally lent to the company, saving Dou Wenjing the trouble of a loan.

With money, the decoration progress will naturally speed up.

For example, demolition work, if it is normal decoration, it will take several days.

But with the help of money, more workers were hired, and all the places that needed to be demolished were demolished in one day, and the construction waste was also sent to the designated location.

"I'm sorry for your trouble, Sister Jing."

"This is what I should do... By the way, Reporter Zeng came over to take pictures of the renovation progress to keep the topic of Lin Kee Food hot."

When Lin Xu heard this, he quickly looked at Zeng Xiaoqi and thanked:

"Thank you so much, Reporter Zeng, for asking you to make a trip. Sister Jing, please pay Reporter Zeng the carriage fare later. After all, you are running for our store."

"I can do it, Mr. Lin."

Zeng Xiaoqi said with a smile:

"No need to give. Just treat me to a meal someday."

Invite you to dinner? This is easy to do.

Lin Xu suddenly thought of the crayfish technique he had just acquired today, and the crayfish in Uncle Yu's supermarket were indeed quite attractive, so he said with a smile:

"How about I treat you to some crayfish later?"

After acquiring the crayfish skills, he planned to make a spicy crayfish meal to enjoy himself.

In the past, I couldn't afford to eat when I wanted to, and when I could afford it, I didn't have time to eat.

Now that I have money and leisure, I can still do it, so naturally I have to experience the freedom of crayfish.

"Wow! Really, Boss Lin? Crayfish is my favorite!"

Zeng Xiaoqi was a little overjoyed. She just said it casually, but she didn't expect that Lin Xu actually agreed. She didn't say another day or if she had time, just said today.

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"You and Sister Jing chat first, and I'm going to pick up some crayfish from Uncle Yu's supermarket. I'll also call some people over so we can all have a lively meal."

Crayfish is a delicacy that would be a bit boring to eat without people.

Only when a large group of people eat it in a lively manner can it be enjoyable.

As Lin Xu spoke, he took out his mobile phone, clicked on the high-end VIP customer group of Linji Food, and sent a message in it:

"Do you want to eat crayfish? If so, deduct 1!"

The news just came out.

Shen Jiayue: 1

Geng Lele: 1

Chen Yan: 1

Yue Li Yue: 1

Wu Kexin: 1

…

It’s faster than grabbing a red envelope.

Lin Xu sent another message saying:

"I'm going to make crayfish at home later. If any of you want to eat, you can come over now."

Shen Jiayue: Coming soon! ! ! ! !

Geng Lele: Coming soon! ! ! ! !

Yue Li Yue: Coming soon! ! ! ! !

Chen Yan: Coming soon! ! ! ! ! ! !

…

But not everyone can get there right away.

Li Qiang made a crying emoticon:

"A dog can't afford to be hurt by working overtime. If you have a conscience, just leave me two mouthfuls of soup and let me cook a bowl of noodles."

Geng Lele immediately slapped him:

"When can you get off work? It's going to be early, so we'll wait for you."

"About two o'clock in the morning..."

"Then we still have no conscience, but don't worry Bald Qiang. We won't post videos in the group while we eat, let alone smack our lips, and we won't take close-ups of the peeled shrimps, so don't worry. .”

Li Qiang: "!!!!!!"

"Lele, you are so hateful, I already have a picture in my mind!"

Lin Xu estimated the number of people, then came to Uncle Yu's supermarket and went straight to the fresh food area.

"What do you want, Boss Xiaolin? Are there not enough ingredients?"

Uncle Yu, who was sorting out waste paper boxes, asked curiously.

"I just saw that the crayfish is pretty good, and I'm going to buy some to make spicy crayfish. I get off work early today, so I can reward myself."

"Then go and pick. These shrimps are just delivered."

Lin Xu came to the crayfish aquarium, took a plastic bucket and carefully selected it.

He picked up a dozen pounds.

They're all super big.

After selecting, weigh them on the scale, then put them into an ultrasonic shrimp washing machine to clean all the crayfish.

Then, under Uncle Yu's instructions, several shopping guides who were not busy in the fresh food area helped Lin Xu use scissors to cut off the shrimp heads, remove the internal organs, and remove the shrimp threads.

In fact, if the shrimp threads are not drawn, the crayfish meat will be firmer.

But it’s not satisfying when you eat it.

After peeling the shrimps, you still have to pull out the shrimp threads, which is quite troublesome.

Relatively speaking, it is more enjoyable to prepare it in advance and eat it.

Lin Xu helped them work with scissors.

In less than half an hour, about ten kilograms of crayfish were packed away.

This has to be sorted out by Lin Xu, who probably won't be able to get down for an hour or two.

Carrying the cleaned crayfish, Lin Xu bought some other ingredients and ingredients, then scanned the money at the front desk and walked out of the supermarket.

At this time, Shen Jiayue had arrived. The white X1 was parked on the roadside looking cute and cute, while Chen Yan's Porsche 911 was parked next to it.

Several beauties were standing at the gate of the community eating the fried pancakes that Geng Lele queued up to buy, while Panda and Yue Liyue were chatting about their gaming skills.

Seeing Lin Xu coming over, Geng Lele said in a loud voice:

"Hurry up, hurry up, they've finished all my fried buns."

Lin Xu asked with a smile:

"You deliberately let everyone eat, right? This way no one will compete with you to grab the crayfish when you are full."

other people:"!!!!!!!"

"Wow! Lele, you are so insidious!"

"It's not enough for you to trick Brother Qiang, but you actually tricked us too!"

"That's right, I curse you for not being able to get into Lan Xiang Technical School!"

"There is also New Oriental, and I can't pass the New Oriental Chef School!"

Geng Lele smiled and stuffed the empty fried bag into the trash can:

"Who asked you to ask me if the pan-fried buns are delicious? The pan-fried buns from that restaurant are indeed delicious, but it is too difficult to queue up. I queued for more than half an hour."

Shen Jiayue changed into sportswear and wore a red T-shirt to make eating crayfish more convenient.

"I had a full meal today. I was in the gym when you sent the message, but when I saw the crayfish, I suddenly became hungry. Do you think it's magical?"

Lin Xu: "..."

This is the first time I've seen someone talk about greed in such a fresh and refined way.

He smiled and said:

"If you want to eat it from now on, I will make it for you every day. There are better shrimps in the fishery area of ​​Diaoyutai. I will make a portion for you to try later."

"Okay!"

Chen Yan on the side curled her lips helplessly:

"Can you two stop showing off your affection here? Hurry up, I even gave up tonight's dinner for this crayfish."

"What kind of dinner? Blind date?"

"No, it's a business promotion list..."

The woman was chatting, while Panda and Yue Liyue helped Lin Xu carry the ingredients.

When they came upstairs, as soon as they opened the door, several girls rushed towards Dundun, who was chasing the little mouse and playing:

"Dundun~my Dundun~~~~"

"Call Auntie quickly, call Auntie quickly!"

"Lord Holy Lord, you look so majestic when you catch mice. How about one day I steal the little mice from our laboratory for you to play with?"

This is the first time for everyone to come to the place where Lin Xu lives.

While we were having fun, everyone was also visiting.

Zeng Xiaoqi looked around and said:

"I thought the boys' rooms were all messy, but I didn't expect them to be so tidy."

Dou Wenjing smiled and echoed:

"There's no peculiar smell. I thought the smell in the house would be bad after having a cat."

While the two were talking, Geng Lele said:

"The room is clean and has no peculiar smell. She is either a transvestite or a gay!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xu's voice came from the kitchen:

"Geng Lele, you are out of crayfish!"

"Hahaha, I'm just kidding."

The girls were playing with Dundun in the living room, while Yue Liyue turned on Lin Xu's computer and clicked on the game while chatting with Panda:

"Last time, Boss Lin said which level in Call of Duty was difficult to pass? Let me help him go through it..."

in the kitchen.

Lin Xu washed all the crayfish again and prepared onions, ginger, Sichuan peppercorns, dried chili peppers, bean paste, green chili peppers, perilla leaves and other ingredients.

On the shelf is a large two-ear wok taken from the store.

Let’s start making spicy crayfish!
