Chapter 180 Super Simple Sugar Cane Water! Fish Scales Can Also Be Used as Snacks? [Monthly Ticket 1,500 Extra]

Come to the restaurant.

Lin Xu saw his father-in-law sitting at a table by the window from a distance, with various signature dishes of Building 2 on it.

Around him, Tan Yajun from the audit office and several other middle-aged people of similar age were sitting. Everyone was eating and chatting, and the atmosphere seemed quite harmonious.

"Oh, there really is a new dish!"

When Shen Guofu saw Lin Xu coming over with a plate of dishes, he quickly stood up.

When he saw it was an elbow, his face suddenly lit up with joy:

"Pair elbow with wine, the more you eat, the better. This dish is really good."

As long as you have meat, everything will be fine, right?

Lin Xu came over, put the plate on their table with a smile, and said to Shen Guofu:

"Grandma, I wanted to eat rock sugar elbow. I was worried that I couldn't make it well, so my senior brother made a few and taught me. Since you are here, you can try it."

When Shen Guofu heard this, he immediately patted Lin Xu on the shoulder:

"What a good boy!"

After speaking, he said to Tan Yajun and others:

"Xiao Xu went to my house yesterday. The old lady was very happy and made the rock sugar elbows herself. That girl Yueyue coaxed Xiao Xu to make it for the old lady. Unexpectedly, the child started to learn it today."

When Tan Yajun heard this, he couldn't help but praise:

"He is such a good boy with the same filial piety as Yueyue."

Shen Guofu: "..."

If you are envious of Lao Tan, why are you still cursing others?

He pulled Lin Xu and said:

"Come, let me introduce these uncles to you. They all grew up in the same alley as me and Lao Tan. They came here specially to taste your craftsmanship today."

Lin Xu quickly said hello to these uncles.

After greetings, he said:

"You guys eat first, there is still work to do later, I have to go back."

"Okay, okay, go ahead and get busy."

After Lin Xu left, several middle-aged people couldn't wait to raise their chopsticks and reach for the rock sugar elbow on the table that made them drool as soon as it was served.

Shen Guofu took a piece of elbow skin and put it into his mouth, and was immediately fascinated by the sweet taste.

The taste is sweet but not greasy. It tastes like the freshness of sugar cane, and the skin of the elbow is so soft and delicious that it melts with just a sip of your tongue.

Wait until the elbow is finished.

Only then did I notice the faint salty taste in the skin of the elbow.

It gives people an endless aftertaste feeling.

Fantastic.

"Oh, let me go, this elbow is so delicious!"

"Indeed, the meat is rotten and tastes good."

"I usually don't like sweet dishes, but this elbow makes me unable to stop using my chopsticks."

"The more you eat, the more delicious it becomes, Lao Shen. I forgot to ask your son-in-law if he has learned it. If he does, we will have to go to your house more often."

"Yes, I have to go and eat. This elbow is really enjoyable to eat."

"..."

While Tan Yajun and the others were chattering away, Shen Guofu said nothing, just lowering his head and grabbing the elbows on the plate with his old friends.

A bunch of ne’er-do-wells who haven’t grabbed anything to eat.

Is now the time to speak?

Every time you say another word now, you will lose a bite of your elbow. Just say it as much as you want. The more you say, the more I will eat.

Only when there was only one leg bone left of the elbow on the plate did they stop.

Shen Guofu burped beautifully.

So happy!

Back to the kitchen.

The senior brother went upstairs to hold an administrative meeting in Building 2, and the sugar cane syrup he planned to make could only be postponed.

But Lin Xu was not in a hurry.

On the way to the restaurant, he was tempted by the rock sugar elbow on the plate. He was already greedy for this dish. When he saw that there was only one plate left, he picked up his chopsticks and couldn't wait to pick up a piece of elbow skin and taste it.

Well, it's really delicious.

It’s unbelievable that even with so much sugar, it’s not greasy at all.

After eating a few more bites, he went to fill up a bowl of rice, scooped out some of the remaining soup in the pot, mixed it with the rice, and then took a bite.

Well, when the hot rice is mixed with the salty and sweet soup, the taste is incredible, and even the rice becomes delicious.

"You also like to eat it mixed like this?"

While eating, Song Dahai came over.

It was already past dinner time, so he also served himself a bowl of rice, ate it with his elbows, and then went back to work after eating.

Well, Xie Baomin picked up two sugar canes.

Then make up for it with rice and elbows.

We, Lao Song, cannot afford to suffer.

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"We have to get busy soon. Let's make do with the two of us first. Chef Song, where is your building on the 15th? Is it a bit far from here?"

"It's not too far. Just walk along the main road in Diaoyutai. There is a red Chinese-style building over the rockery area. That is Building No. 15... If Master Lin is not busy, you can go to our place to play. No. 15 Many young people in Building No. 1 regard you as a role model."

Yeah?

Then I'll go after get off work.

It doesn't matter whether it's sugar cane or not, I just want to make more friends.

Song Dahai continued:

"Especially my nephew. Ever since he watched your game, he has searched for your information on the Internet and checked in on you all day long, just like those kids who are chasing stars."

These words suddenly piqued Lin Xu's interest:

"This is so flattering to me. I didn't expect that we in Diaoyutai still have my fans."

He thought that the people who often commented on the topic were foodies who liked delicious food. Unexpectedly, even the chefs from Diaoyutai were attracted.

This requires a trip to Building 15.

Let’s get to know this fanboy first, and then think about using sugar cane. Isn’t it just a matter of words?

Well, you can't just run away like your senior brother, that's too rude.

You have to let people take the initiative to send it.

This is the rule of civilized society.

"Chef Song, what's your nephew's name? I'm going to get to know him."

Lin Xuguang was thinking about harvesting sugar cane.

Suddenly it occurred to me that there was another mission to find a chef.

If Song Dahai's nephew meets the requirements, wouldn't he be able to poach him?

"My nephew's name is Zhu Yong. I found out when I went to Building 15. He has been participating in cooking competitions in the past few years. Unfortunately, he is over 25 years old this year and did not participate. I missed the opportunity to compete with you in cooking."

Can you participate in a cooking competition?

That means your cooking skills are very high.

Seriously, this is the third chef I want to poach.

I must make a trip to Building No. 15 in the near future to get in touch with Zhu Yong first to see if he is willing to change jobs. If so, I will start directly.

Finish the rice in the bowl.

Song Dahai was just about to leave when he suddenly saw a cook not far away carrying a large carp weighing more than ten kilograms to the pond to be slaughtered.

Then he said with emotion:

"This fish is really big. The scales alone can make two dishes."

Lin Xu on the side was a little surprised.

real or fake?

Can fish scales be used for cooking?

He asked curiously:

"Chef Song, can you eat fish scales?"

"Why shouldn't fish scales be eaten? Blanch the fish scales and simmer them for a few hours to make fish scale jelly. It tastes better than skin jelly. You may wash it, wrap it in dry starch, fry it in a pan, and sprinkle some chili after it's out of the pan. The noodles are just crispy fish scales."

Wow!

Lin Xuzhen didn't expect that Fish Scales could do this.

He's not very interested in fish scale jelly.

But want to try the crispy fish scales.

My own baby Shen likes to eat this kind of fragrant and crispy snacks. I will try to collect the fish scales and fry them later.

After sending Song Dahai away.

Lin Xu quickly came to the pool and said to the cook who was slaughtering the carp:

"Keep the fish scales for me. Chef Song said he can cook them, so I plan to try them."

"Okay, Master Lin!"

Return to the stove.

He cooked several tables of reserved dishes in succession, and then saw his senior brother Xie Baomin striding into the kitchen.

"Lao Song is gone?"

"He left. He said he had to be busy when he got back. He ate a bowl of rice and then went back."

"Hey, this old boy really doesn't want to suffer at all. After picking up two sugar canes, he actually ate a bowl of rice before leaving. He has to pick up two more sugar canes tomorrow."

While talking, Xie Baomin picked up the remaining sugar cane and started making Cantonese-style sugar water.

To make sugar water, you need to have sweetness, so you can only use sugar cane roots.

Use a kitchen knife to peel off the outer layer of hard skin on the sugar cane, and then remove the joints, leaving only the core of the sugar cane that is easier to chew.

Lin Xu picked up one and tasted it.

This sugar cane still has enough water, but it doesn't have enough sweetness because it hasn't been grown for enough time, but it tastes fresh and refreshing that mature sugar cane doesn't have.

Well, it's the taste of nature.

Xie Baomin split the sugarcane core into four segments, then put it into a pot used for making desserts, added water and started boiling.

"Green sugarcane is more intoxicating and more suitable for drinking in the current weather."

Lin Xu didn't know much about how to make this kind of sugar water. He asked while chewing the sugar cane in his hand:

“Just use sugar cane?”

"That's okay. At least you have to put some snow pear in it. What you get is sugar cane and snow pear soup. No sugar is added. Drinking it so lightly will not only relieve the fire, but also clear the lungs."

It sounds very good.

Lin Xu asked again:

“What else can I put besides Sydney?”

"Fruits similar to those used to reduce heat will work, or other ingredients, such as yams, water chestnuts, taro, etc. It doesn't really matter, as long as the ingredients are of conflicting gender."

Is it that simple?

As soon as Lin Xuda thought of this, the system prompt sounded in his mind:

"The host listened to the guidance of the state banquet master and understood the qualified sugar water technique-the combination of ingredients. Congratulations to the host."

Sugar water technique?

How can you understand it so well?

It seems that I will chat with these head chefs more when I have nothing to do in the future.

Maybe you can understand a wave of techniques.

Isn't this just making money in vain?

soon.

The pot of water is boiling.

Xie Baomin covered the pot, turned down the heat, and continued to simmer.

"Sugar cane has enough water to withstand cooking. You need to cook it for as long as possible so that the fresh flavor of the sugar cane can be absorbed into the soup."

Lin Xu nodded and remembered it secretly.

These knowledge points will come in handy when doing it for Baby Shen later.

It took about twenty minutes.

Xie Baomin went to the storage room and got two pears.

Peel and cut into small pieces and put in the pot.

It took about five or six minutes to cook.

Turn off the heat and remove from the pot.

"Don't cook Sydney for too long, just let the flavor come out. Although this thing sounds very particular, as long as you understand the mixing skills of the ingredients, you can make a pot of sugar water in minutes."

Lin Xu nodded and then asked:

"If you add sugar, which step is more appropriate?"

"When boiling the pear, put two pieces of borneol sugar in it. It will taste very good."

After Xie Baomin finished speaking, he poured some soup into the bowl, blew it on first, then drank it when it was not too hot, nodded and said:

"Well, not bad. Although the sweetness is a bit weak, the freshness of the green sugar cane is still very strong. Try it, junior brother, and see if it inspires you."

Lin Xu nodded and served himself a little.

Drink it when it is not too hot. The soup is slightly sweet, with a unique fresh taste of sugar cane, and the refreshing feeling of snow pear in the middle.

After drinking it, my whole body feels refreshed.

Delicious!

Xie Baomin filled himself a large bowl and patrolled the kitchen with it.

Just as Lin Xuda was about to drink some more, the cook who had butchered the carp before came over with a small basin:

"Master Lin, these are the fish scales you want. The head chef just taught you how to make sugar water. I didn't dare to come over to disturb them. They are all here. Do you need me to wash them for you?"

"No, no, I can just wash it myself, please."

"You're out of touch with Master Lin when you say this. You are a great contributor to our Building No. 2."

Lin Xu represented Building 2 and won the championship in this cooking competition, which made everyone in Building 2 feel proud and proud. The people in the kitchen regarded him as a hero.

After the cook left.

Lin Xu came to the pool and carefully washed the fish scales in the basin twice.

Worried about the fishy smell.

He grabbed some more flour and washed the scales of the fish as if they were fat intestines.

Rinse clean again.

Drain the fish scales, then pour some cooking wine and onion and ginger water to remove the fishy smell, sprinkle some salt, and set aside to marinate.

He had never eaten the spicy fish scales that Song Dahai mentioned, and he had never even seen them.

So I can only try to make it step by step based on my experience in making other dishes.

After marinating for about ten minutes.

Sprinkle some dry starch into the fish scales and mix well so that the starch hangs evenly on the surface of the fish scales.

Finished with this.

He set up a frying pan, heated the oil to 50% heat, and started frying.

Grab a handful of fish scales coated in starch and throw them into the pot.

Then stir it a few times with a spoon to spread the fish scales.

When the surface is golden and curled, take it out and start frying it in the next pot.

The fish scales he fished out were almost dry now, so he picked up a piece and tasted it.

Well, it's actually very crispy.

The imagined problems such as irritation in the mouth and fishy smell do not exist, only fragrant and crispy.

While I was eating, the system prompt sounded in my mind again:

"According to the introduction of the state banquet master, the host successfully made an excellent fried snack with crispy fish scales, and obtained the excellent basic aquatic product technique - peeling off the fish skin. Congratulations to the host."

What?

Are there any rewards?

Lin Xu originally made some snacks for Baby Shen with the intention of giving it a try.

Unexpectedly, the system reward was triggered.

The skill of uncovering the skin of fish is also rewarded.

Although this technique is very likely to be thrown into the corner to eat ashes like the technique of killing pigs, mosquito legs are also meat, so don’t waste it.

At this time, the fish scales in the pot are fried again.

Lin Xu took it out with a slotted spoon and continued frying.

After all the fish scales were fried, he raised the oil temperature and poured the fried fish scales into the pot again to fry again.

The fish scales are relatively thin and become transparent once fried, so the re-frying process is very short.

Basically, if you pour it into the pot, you have to fish it out.

Just took out the fish scales.

Xie Baomin strolled over.

"Fish scales? Is this what Old Song taught you?"

Lin Xu nodded and then asked:

"how do you know?"

"Lao Song is the best at cooking fish in Diaoyutai. We used to call him Fat-headed Fish, and he fell out with us several times over this."

Lin Xu: "..."

You are such a fun person.

Xie Baomin tasted the fish scales, then opened the cabinet next to him, dug out a cardboard box, took out a sealed pack of chili noodles and handed it over:

"It would taste better if you sprinkle it on."

Lin Xu looked at it and saw that it was no different from the chili noodles usually used in the kitchen.

He opened it and sprinkled a little into the basin.

Then he picked up a piece of fish scales covered with chili noodles and tasted it.

The taste is actually a bit spicy on top of the crispy texture.

The spicy taste is not overpowering at all.

On the contrary, it still has a nice fragrance.

There is a dry aroma in your mouth, which makes the fish scales more delicious.

"Why is this chili noodles so delicious, senior brother? After adding it, the texture and taste of the fish scales jumped to a new level."

Lin Xu was very surprised.

I didn't expect this ordinary-looking chili noodles to be so delicious.

"Soybean flour is added to it, so it tastes more fragrant. If you want to eat barbecue or shabu-shabu with dry dishes later, you can also try it. It tastes good."

When Lin Xu heard this, he jokingly said:

"Since it's so good, I'll move this cardboard box away."

Unexpectedly, Xie Baomin waved his hand and said:

"Move it, we won't need it anyway, and it will take up space here."

Can't use it?

Why are you making this thing if you don’t have any use for it?

Seeing the disgusted look on his senior brother's face, Lin Xu suddenly thought of a possibility:

"Who did this?"

"This is made by Chef Dai in Building No. 18. They are good at Sichuan cuisine. The dry dish dipping sauce in Sichuan cuisine is a piece of cake for them."

really……

This thing was obtained from another building.

"Why did Chef Dai make so much chili noodles for you?"

Lin Xu was a little strange.

If you don't open a barbecue restaurant, the amount of this thing is not very large. If you make such a carton, it can be used for at least several months, right?

"We won it in a bet last time. At the chef meeting, he said I didn't dare to touch Lao Song's head, so I pretended to swat a fly on Lao Song's head, and this box of chili noodles became mine."

Lin Xu "..."

Unexpectedly, in the small Diaoyutai, there are actually two sleeping dragons and phoenixes, Senior Brother and Chef Dai.

I originally thought that only sand sculptures were contagious.

Unexpectedly, human-to-human transmission also occurred in Lezi people.

7 p.m.

Lin Xu finished the work at hand, packed the fried crispy fish scales in a packaging bag, then moved the box of chili noodles to the car, then took Dundun out and went home from get off work.

But before leaving, I have to go to Building 15.

The sugar cane and pear soup tasted good and was quite refreshing after drinking it, so he planned to "borrow" two sugar canes to take back and make some sugar water for Baby Shen.

Drive out of Building 2.

He drove along the main road of Diaoyutai toward the rockery area.

While walking.

He saw the figure of Qiu Zhenhua, the head chef of Building 6.

The elegant chef wearing gold-rimmed glasses was striding forward like a soldier returning from target practice while carrying a few muddy sugar canes. The setting sun stretched his figure very long.

Lin Xu stopped the car, lowered the window and greeted Qiu Zhenhua:

"Chef Qiu, what are you doing?"

"Eh? Master Lin, why did you drive here? Are you planning to go to Building 15 to grab sugar cane? Don't go. The chief chefs in other buildings have finished harvesting the sugar cane. I managed to force myself to get the sugar cane from Lao Dai in Building 18. I evened out a few in my hand..."

Lin Xu:? ? ? ? ?

Why don't you leave it here to divide the land among the local tycoons?

You’ve finished grabbing it, what should I do with my baby Shen’s sugar cane and snow pear soup?

Looking at the sugar cane on Qiu Zhenhua's shoulders, Lin Xu suddenly had an idea...
