Chapter 184 Braised Big Carp! It’s so Delicious that Baby Shen Changed His Name to “Mom”! 【Ask for Monthly Ticket】
Lost dishes...
Lin Xu looked at the steamed shredded radish and fell into deep thought.
The appearance of this shredded radish is really incredible. The white jade-like filaments are scattered on the plate. If they were sorted and placed on the plate, the appearance would be even more perfect.
But I have cut it so finely that it is only an excellent grade. If this is a perfect grade, how fine does it have to be?
Lin Xu didn't know how other dishes became lost.
But the reason why this dish is lost is most likely because of the knife skills.
I will go back and think of a way to lift the knife up, and then cut the radish shreds again to see if the steamed silver wire will be upgraded again.
If you want to upgrade.
It shows that this dish is really related to knife skills.
At the same time, it also shows that the reason why it was lost is because the threshold for knife skills is too high.
While muttering.
Chen Meijuan set up the wok and poured oil into it.
Start frying the marinated carp and ribs, as well as the lotus root clips that have been processed long ago.
Heat the oil until it is 60% hot.
She took the carp out of the basin, cleaned the green onion and ginger stuffed on the fish's body and belly, then held the fish's tail in her left hand and put the fish head into the oil pan.
Holding a spoon in your right hand, scoop up the hot oil from the pan and pour it on the fish.
When frying fish, especially large fish, it will easily sink to the bottom of the pan if you put it directly into the oil pan. Under the action of heat, the fish skin will easily stick to the bottom of the pan, causing the skin to crack, resulting in a poor-looking final product. good.
In order to avoid this from happening, when frying the fish, you can first use a spoon to pour the hot oil in the pot over the fish and fry the fish skin slightly.
Then put the fish into the oil pan.
The fish skin will not crack.
When making the braised carp dish, the fish does not need to be fried for too long. It can be taken out when the skin becomes brown.
Set the fish aside to control the oil, then start frying the ribs.
Garlic spareribs is a well-known fried dish. If you want this dish to be delicious, you must add a large amount of minced garlic when marinating the ribs, so that the garlic flavor can completely penetrate into the interior of the ribs.
And wait until it’s time to fry.
The minced garlic on the surface of the ribs must be cleaned.
Otherwise, the minced garlic will be easily fried, causing the fried ribs to taste bitter.
The ribs just came out of the pan.
Lin Xu couldn't wait to pick up a piece and taste it.
Well, the outside is crispy, and the meat inside is tender and juicy, full of rich garlic flavor, delicious.
"You're still like a child no matter how old you are, and you're not afraid of getting burned."
Chen Meijuan looked at her son and couldn't help but laugh.
In the past, every Spring Festival dinner, Lin Xu would gather around the stove, trying this and that, and he would be full before it was time to eat.
Finish frying the ribs.
Chen Meijuan mixed some batter.
Use chopsticks to hold the lotus root clips, dip them in the batter, and then throw them into the oil pan.
Don't touch it when you first put it in to prevent it from becoming sticky.
Wait until it floats, then flip it over.
The pork ribs and lotus root clips are not to be eaten immediately, so they need to be slightly underheated when frying. Then put them into the oil pan and fry them again before eating, so that the texture and taste will become perfect.
After frying these ingredients.
Chen Meijuan made some other dishes.
For example, use a rice cooker to make the big rooster into soy sauce braised chicken, fry the cooked pork belly, and then make a bowl with the dried radish leaves that I brought this time.
4:20 p.m.
After preparing ingredients such as onions, ginger, and dried chili peppers, Chen Meijuan began to cook braised large carp.
This dish is a very common dish in the Central Plains, but if you want to make it delicious, you have to pay attention to it.
Chen Meijuan added some cooking oil to the pot. After the oil was hot, she put some pork belly slices into the pot and stir-fried.
Well, if you want fish to be delicious, you must add lard or pork belly slices.
This way the fish meat will have a rich flavor.
It also tastes more delicious.
The pork belly needs to be stir-fried for a while to bring out the fat in the meat.
When the surface of the pork belly is slightly browned, add onion, ginger, garlic and dried chili segments and continue to stir-fry until fragrant. Add light and dark soy sauce, then add salt and a few pieces of white sugar for freshness.
After stir-frying evenly, add a small basin of water.
Bring the water to a boil over high heat, cook it briefly, and then put the fried carp into the pot.
Wait for the soup in the pot to boil again.
Bring to medium-low heat and cook slowly.
When cooking, you should constantly use a spoon to pour the soup in the pot over the fish. This will make the fish more thoroughly cooked, and it will also speed up the evaporation of the soup and make the soup thicker.
Twenty minutes later.
There is not much soup left in the pot.
When the fish meat has been thoroughly stewed and is trembling, it means that the fish is almost done.
At this moment.
Lin Xu received a call from Shen Baobao:
"Come down and pick me up, okay? I'm bringing something to my uncle and aunt, but I can't carry it..."
Can't carry it?
Did you buy a set of furniture?
Lin Xu took the key and took the elevator downstairs.
Arrived downstairs.
He saw the gifts Shen Baobao bought for his parents - a luxurious foot bath with automatic heating, sterilization and disinfection functions for foot massage and a beauty instrument.
There is also a dark red women's shoulder bag and a dark gray men's handbag, both from Hermès.
The footbath and beauty device are just okay.
But these two packages...
Lin Xu suddenly felt that the red envelope prepared by his parents might be a little thin.
"Is your father fierce? Should I call him uncle or uncle when I see him for the first time? Wouldn't it be too casual to call him mom and dad instead? Ahhhhh, I feel so uneasy. Xu Bao, can you hug me first? good……"
Baby Shen was very excited.
There is a feeling of being tested by life and death.
Lin Xu smiled and held this cute baby in his arms, and softly comforted:
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'm here. My parents are very nice and not mean...and there's a big table of dishes cooked upstairs, waiting for you to eat."
When it comes to food.
Baby Shen in his arms relaxed a little:
"Then if I eat too much, will they dislike me?"
Lin Xu patted her back:
"No, it's not like my mother doesn't know how much you eat. You can eat six big buns stuffed with lard. She will be unhappy if you eat less today."
"I hate it. It's all my fault that you took photos to seduce me."
The two of them stayed downstairs for a few minutes before taking their things and going upstairs.
Arrived at the door.
Lin Xu knocked on the door.
The door suddenly opened, and Chen Meijuan and Lin Hongqi appeared at the door.
"Come on Yueyue, it's hot outside, come in and cool down quickly."
After entering the door, Shen Jiayue took two bags and said:
"This is a gift for you. I hope your uncle and aunt won't dislike it."
"Oh, it cost you a lot of money, Yueyue. The color of this bag is really nice. I will carry it on my shoulder every day from now on."
Well, this is a gift from my daughter-in-law.
When I get back, I will show off to my neighbors.
Lin Hongqi took the handbag bought by her daughter-in-law, and then took out a bulging red envelope from the drawer next to it. It should be more than 20,000 yuan thick.
He handed it to Shen Jiayue:
"Yueyue, according to the rules of my hometown, you have to give a red envelope when you first meet. This is a red envelope prepared for you. I hope you won't dislike it."
Due to Lin Xu’s previous notification.
Shen Jiayue knew there was a red envelope to get.
But she didn't expect it to be so big. She thought it would be as symbolic as the red envelopes of lucky money given out by elders during festivals.
"Is this... too much?"
"No more, no more, take it quickly, my dear."
"oh……"
Shen Jiayue took it, put it into her bag, exchanged greetings with Lin Hongqi and Chen Meijuan, and then went to play with Dundun.
Chen Meijuan called Lin Xu to serve the dishes.
Start eating.
Soon, dishes one after another were brought to the table.
Beans with garlic paste, steamed radish with rice flour, cucumber mixed with pig ears, shredded potatoes mixed with soy sauce, crispy lotus root clips, garlic pork ribs, sweet potato meatballs, hot peppers, fish-flavored tomato dragon, braised chicken with soy sauce, cabbage rolls, egg and meat rolls, radish Tassel bowl, braised large carp, diced pork and stir-fried mountain mushrooms...
A large table was set up.
The baby is so greedy with all kinds of scents that he is no longer in the mood to play with Dundun.
Ahhhhhh it smells so good, I really want to try it!
Be patient, be reserved.
Don't leave a crazy image to your parents-in-law.
But waiting for the meal to start is really excruciating!
After what felt like three years, a heavenly call finally came to my ears:
"Stop playing, come and wash your hands and eat."
"Oh...I'm going to have dinner, Dundun. I'll come over to play with you after eating."
Dundun on the cat climbing frame rolled her eyes.
Were you playing with me?
I'm embarrassed to point you out!
Shen Baobao followed Lin Xu to the bathroom. They rinsed their hands with water and applied hand sanitizer together. When the four hands were held together, Lin Xu asked in a low voice:
"Did you just want to pinch a piece and try it?"
Shen Jiayue nodded and rubbed Lin Xu's hand while saying:
"Yes, yes, these meals taste so delicious, my saliva is almost dripping all over Dundun."
Ho...
No wonder Dundun's eyes looked so disgusted just now.
After finally washing my hands, I dried them with a towel and came to the table.
Lin Hongqi and Chen Meijuan are already waiting.
When Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue came over, the family of four sat down.
"Yueyue, you can eat whatever you like. This table of dishes is all prepared for you."
"Thank you, aunt."
Shen Jiayue said her thanks obediently and then picked up the chopsticks.
It’s so rich, which dish should I eat first?
I really want to eat the big carp in the middle, but would it look very rude if I eat it directly?
When she was about to talk, Lin Xu picked up a large piece of fish meat and placed it on the plate in front of Shen Baobao:
"This is my mother's favorite dish. How about trying it?"
What is your mother-in-law best at?
Shen Jiayue became even more greedy.
She picked off the fish bones, lowered her head and picked up a piece of fish meat with fish skin and put it into her mouth. Her eyes suddenly lit up.
Wow!
This fish is so delicious!
The fish skin has been thoroughly stewed and tastes slippery. The rich aroma makes people want to swallow it.
The fish part is still fresh and tender.
The delicate meat is filled with delicious soup.
Take one bite and your mouth will be filled with delicious flavor.
too delicious!
"It's so fresh. How did this fish stew become so delicious?"
Shen Jiayue took another bite.
Still very delicious.
"If it tastes good, eat more. If it doesn't taste good, I'll put it in front of you. We don't want to be polite. We can eat whatever we want and how we want."
"Thank you...Mom!"
Shen Jiayue originally wanted to thank her aunt.
But as soon as the words came out, I realized that I was lying.
Chen Meijuan was overjoyed with joy. She didn't expect her daughter-in-law to change her mind so quickly, and quickly gave Shen Jiayue another piece of fish:
"Good boy, eat more."
After speaking, he took his mobile phone and transferred 50,000 yuan to Shen Jiayue:
"You must accept it. This is the money your mother gave you to correct your confession."
"Oh...thanks mom!"
My mother-in-law is so kind to me, so I should call her mom in advance, right?
After calling mom.
Shen Baobao called dad again to Lin Hongqi, who was looking forward to it. Old Lin was so happy that he drank down the liquor in his glass. Then he used his WeChat to transfer 50,000 yuan to Shen Baobao for the correction fee.
It was originally the time of marriage.
The daughter-in-law was forced to change the date before the engagement.
This is such a joy.
After transferring the money, Lin Hongqi filled another glass for himself and said immediately:
"Yueyue, we are going to invite your parents to have a meal together tomorrow noon, okay?"
Before the engagement, the parents of both parties have to sit down and have a chat to get to know each other. After all, this is the union of two families, and etiquette must be in place.
"Okay! I'll tell my parents when I get back."
After hearing what his daughter-in-law said, Lin Hongqi looked at Lin Xu and asked:
"Which restaurant do you think is more appropriate to treat your father-in-law and mother-in-law to dinner?"
Which hotel?
Lin Xu smiled:
"I think the dish on the table right now is my parents-in-law's favorite. It has the smoke and smoke of home, and you can't even eat it in restaurants outside."
Upon hearing this.
Chen Meijuan also thinks it’s good to eat at home:
"Then let's eat at home. It's easier to talk... It's just that this place is a bit small, and I don't know if my in-laws will dislike it."
Shen Jiayue said quickly:
"No, no, no. In fact, when I was a child, my parents rented a place not much bigger than this kitchen. They finally saved up money to buy a house, but they were defrauded of all their money. My dad secretly cried at night and was depressed for a long time. Get back on your feet..."
When Lin Hongqi heard this, he sighed softly:
"My in-laws have probably gone through a lot of twists and turns along the way. I have to have two more drinks with him tomorrow."
After making sure to eat at home tomorrow.
Everyone continues to eat.
Shen Jiayue thinks every dish is delicious.
Crispy on the outside and semi-liquid on the inside, the sweet potato balls taste fragrant, sweet and delicious.
The fried pork ribs are delicious and full of garlic flavor, which makes people unable to stop eating.
There is also steamed shredded radish, which tastes very chewy and has a hint of garlic spiciness, making it delicious.
She tasted all the dishes.
I feel more and more that my mother-in-law is really amazing. She can actually cook such a large table of home-style dishes. Xu Bao grew up eating this kind of rice. Isn’t he so happy?
When she was sighing while eating.
Lin Xu next to him was talking about his plans for tomorrow:
"The pancake shop has been renovated and fully equipped. It will officially open tomorrow morning."
Well, tomorrow the task of [investing in opening a store] will be officially completed.
After getting the reward, I will upgrade my basic knife skills and make steamed silver thread again to see if I can upgrade this dish again.
If only.
Maybe this dish will shine in the competition!
