Chapter 213 Making Mutton Oil Chili! What Should I Do if There Are Too Many Wild Fruits to Eat? Make Fruit Vinegar! 【Ask for Monthly Ticket】
Half past six in the morning.
Lin Xu took Shen Baobao's hand and went out to have breakfast.
The two wore the same T-shirts and beach shorts, and the exact same minions co-branded slippers on their feet, highlighting their casual look.
When going downstairs, the young couple tacitly agreed not to take the elevator, but walked into the stairwell and walked slowly down the stairs.
Baby Shen cuddled up against Lin Xu, pecking him on the face from time to time, as close as if he were conjoined twins.
"Husband~~~~"
"Um!"
"Don't worry, I will be responsible for you!"
"?"
Lin Xu glanced at his baby and felt that he could no longer keep up with the girl's thinking.
"Isn't it like this in movies and TV dramas? It's better to light up a cigarette and blow out smoke rings, then it will be more interesting... um~~~~"
Before Shen Baobao could say anything, he was hugged by Lin Xu, his mouth locked, and he was kissed until he couldn't breathe properly before being let go.
"I was wrong, husband~~~"
A certain cute little cat finally didn’t dare to be naughty anymore.
Lin Xu held her weak and boneless palm and said:
"Let's go downstairs to eat. There is a live broadcast this morning."
"Okay!"
Coming downstairs, Lin Xu saw many tourists staying at the Cliff Hotel sitting in the restaurant.
The front desk manager looked at Lin Xu and asked:
"Xiao Xu, someone has booked a room on the top floor. If you want to stay, I will cancel the order."
"No need to cancel. We'll stay at the B&B tonight. We'll move our luggage after breakfast. Then we'll just have someone come up and clean it."
The accommodation fee for the 270-degree view room on the top floor is thousands per night. It was difficult for someone to settle on it. It would be a shame to turn it down like this.
I really didn’t expect that I would take Dundun to stay in a scenic spot.
Not only did the tickets sell out, but the occupancy rate of the Cliff Hotel also increased a lot.
The magic weapon that attracts wealth really deserves its reputation!
He sighed softly and decided to find a way to get some meat that Dundun had never eaten today to reward the little guy.
Thinking of this, he opened the car door and got in the car with Shen Baobao.
Instead of having breakfast at the restaurant of the Cliff Hotel today, I took Bao Bao Shen to a farm restaurant near the tourist service center.
There were four mutton leg bones left over from making the mutton dip yesterday morning, and my uncle made them into mutton soup.
When the mutton seller came over to deliver the mutton in the afternoon, he gave away a set of haggis for free. After Shi Wenming cleaned up, he decided to make haggis soup for everyone this morning.
Well, it’s good to drink some sheep soup in the summer to make you sweat and to expel moisture from your body.
When arriving at the restaurant.
Chen Yuanyuan was holding Dundun in the yard and watching the snakehead fish swimming in the pool.
When she saw Lin Xu, she immediately said:
"I thought you two couldn't get up. The mutton soup will probably take a while. The kitchen has just started making mutton oil chili..."
Suet chili?
Lin Xu became interested as soon as he heard it.
Although he can make chili oil now, he has always been a little confused about mutton oil chili.
Since my uncle is cooking now, let's go to the kitchen and have a look.
Let’s learn how to make mutton oil chili, so that you won’t be confused when you need it later and don’t know where to start.
Come to the kitchen.
As soon as Lin Xu entered the door, he smelled a pleasant smell of suet.
There are some oil residues in the basket on the workbench. It should be that the mutton oil has just been refined.
"Here comes Xiaoxu. There is a large piece of mutton fat among the haggis given yesterday. I have just refined it and am going to make some mutton oil chili. You can't drink haggis soup without mutton oil chili."
I walked over and took a look. The fat in the pot was still simmering. There were onions, ginger, garlic, coriander, carrots and other ingredients in it, as well as spices such as pepper, star anise, bay leaf, cinnamon and other spices.
Isn't this the same as frying ordinary chili oil?
Lin Xu asked curiously:
"How can you fry mutton oil chili without making your mouth burnt?"
Suet oil is a meat oil, which is different from ordinary vegetable oil. If you make suet chili the same way as ordinary chili oil, it will definitely be greasy and mushy.
Shi Wenming said with a smile:
"It's easy. Just add some vegetable oil (vegetable oil) to neutralize it when making it."
Add vegetarian oil?
This is very similar to making spicy spicy food.
When making chili peppers, you need to add a little lard to the oil to increase the aroma and viscosity of the chili oil.
I didn’t expect that mutton oil chili needs to be added with vegetable oil to reduce the fragrance and viscosity.
Depend on!
If I had known it was so easy, I should have tried it then.
With such contradictory approaches, there might be other rewards for figuring it out.
While he was thinking about it, Shi Wenming took out the ingredients for making mutton oil chili—chili noodles ground from northwest line peppers.
Mutton oil chili is a delicacy of the northwest region. When making it, it is natural to use northwest line chili to make it perfect.
In addition to chili peppers, raw white sesame seeds and salt are also used.
Mix raw sesame seeds, salt and chili powder together and set aside.
At this time, the spices in the pot were almost cooked. Shi Wenming took the airtight drain and fished out all the residue inside.
Then increase the oil temperature again and turn off the heat.
Use a spoon to scoop out the mutton fat in the pot and pour it into the chili noodles in three batches.
Thoroughly bring out the aroma, spiciness and color of the chili noodles.
Soon, the spicy smell spread from the kitchen to the outside.
Shen Baobao and Chen Yuanyuan, who were playing with Dundun, couldn't help but admire:
"Wow, the aroma of this chili pepper is so strong!"
You cannot eat the mutton oil chili immediately after it is made. You need to wait until the temperature drops, the aroma is restrained and the oil solidifies before eating. This will make it more delicious.
But now it’s time to have breakfast.
Shi Wenming put the chili oil into the freezer and surrounded it with a few ice cubes to keep the ingredients fresh to speed up the cooling of the mutton oil chili.
"Is this okay, uncle?"
"Why not? Chili oil is dead, but people are alive. You must be good at using technological means."
After Shi Wenming finished speaking, he put the mutton soup cooked yesterday on the stove to heat it up, then took out the haggis cooked yesterday and started cutting it.
Blanch it in mutton soup later, add some hot mutton soup, sprinkle with coriander, and it will become a mouth-watering mutton soup.
After the bowls of mutton soup were ready, the second uncle also came to work carrying the newly bought sesame seed cakes.
His mother, Chen Meijuan, specially asked him to buy it.
"Come and eat. It's still hot. I didn't know how much to buy, so I just bought it all."
The second uncle bought twenty or thirty sesame seed cakes, so everyone can eat today's meal.
In order for everyone to eat comfortably, Shi Wenming specially made some pickled peppers and pickles.
At this time, the mutton oil chili has solidified. Use a spoon to scoop some out and put it in a bowl. Soon, the red oil flowers will spread in the restaurant along with the unique fragrance of mutton oil.
"Wow, the aroma of this chili pepper is so strong!"
Baby Shen sighed in admiration, and then dug some more into his bowl.
Such fragrant chili oil, you must eat two spoons to enjoy it!
After the chili oil melts, add some salt to the soup, and then you can eat it with the sesame cakes.
"Two sheep cost several thousand yuan, plus the miscellaneous individual customers... I worked hard today to make the restaurant's turnover exceed 10,000 yuan."
Shi Wenming encouraged himself while drinking delicious haggis soup.
Lin Hongqi said:
"Don't put any pressure on the turnover side. Now is the time to establish our reputation. Establishing our reputation is much more important than a short-term increase in turnover."
When he first started working on the scenic spot, Lin Hongqi planned to contract out all the facilities in the scenic spot to earn a contracting fee, so that he would not have to worry about trivial matters himself.
As a result, the accommodation, restaurants, B&Bs, and starry sky base could not be contracted out, so we simply made them ourselves.
Now, with the arrival of tourists, business is in full swing.
Yesterday, there were fifty or sixty tourist hosts at the Cliff Hotel, and the Starry Sky Base had more than two hundred people.
Such a result makes Lin Hongqi very happy. Once the 4A approval is obtained and another wave of promotion is carried out, the business volume may increase again.
Finished the meal.
Everyone was well fed.
Chen Meijuan hugged Dundun and started trying on the sweater she knitted yesterday.
The burgundy sweater makes this little guy look more like a child.
After the initial discomfort, the little guy actually took the initiative to run to the air conditioner and whistle.
Fortunately, the air conditioner won't work, otherwise I would have given this naughty kid a good beating.
"Dundun will still follow us this morning."
As soon as Chen Meijuan opened her mouth, Dundun quietly moved toward Lin Xu, as if she wanted to be with her dad and didn't want to go to the ticket office.
But what Chen Meijuan said next made the little guy change his mind:
"I bought a bunch of cat toys, scratching posts and cat litter boxes, and they're coming soon. I just want to show Dundun if he likes them."
"Meow~~~"
As soon as she finished speaking, Dundun rushed over and rubbed her head affectionately against Chen Meijuan's trouser legs.
"Hey little guy, just kiss me."
Chen Meijuan happily held Dundun in her arms. Chen Yuanyuan, who was holding sesame cakes and haggis in one hand and holding on to the handlebar in the other, drove Chen Meijuan toward the gate in a commuter car.
While driving, Sister Yuanyuan would take a bite of sesame seeds from time to time.
After they left, Shi Wenming unloaded another grill he bought while grocery shopping this morning from the back seat of his Wuling Hongguang.
One sheep and one grill.
In this way, at noon, Bobo will not be delayed from entertaining friends.
After breakfast, Lin Xu did not start the live broadcast immediately. Instead, he drove back and moved their luggage with Shen Baobao to an ancient village B&B away from the Cliff Hotel.
"Is this the Demon King's Cave that everyone is talking about?"
Baobao Shen looked at the antique old house in front of him, and his heart was full of surprises.
She grew up in the courtyard where Mrs. Shen lived, and has a deep affection for this kind of old house.
Now that I see it again, I feel like I'm back when I was a kid.
A total of more than ten B&Bs have been renovated in the ancient village, but they have been unable to be rented out, so now Chen Yuanyuan lives in one, and Chen Meijuan and Lin Hongqi also live in one.
Open the courtyard door.
The courtyard is paved with white gravel, and next to it is a circular corridor connecting the courtyard gate and the house.
The corridor is paved with thick wooden boards, which is very comfortable to walk on.
After walking back to the door, you first have to pass through a glass door, and then you come to the corridor outside the house.
Well, the entire corridor is separated by glass walls, which not only creates space, but also allows people to sit in the corridor and enjoy the scenery in the courtyard.
"Wow, it's so beautiful here!"
"My mother asked people to do this. Later, my father stopped it because the cost was too high..."
No matter how good the B&B is, it’s all useless if you can’t rent it out.
So it is better to use limited funds elsewhere.
The apartment that Lin Xu lives in was originally a model apartment. When he came back from last summer vacation, it became his exclusive cabin. Even the game consoles and matching TVs from the houses in the city were moved here.
Take the key and push the door open.
The house is paved with wooden floors. Chen Meijuan must have had someone clean it yesterday. The floors are spotless, and the walls are covered with wood grain paper, giving people the feeling of a cabin in the woods.
After changing your shoes and entering, the first thing you see is the large TV in the living room and the PS series game console next to it.
On the left side of the room is the toilet and bathroom, and on the right side is a large bedroom with a large tatami-style floor bed.
"Wow, I love it here. It's so comfortable."
Baby Shen rolled happily on the bed, then opened the window next to him like a child with ADHD, and then asked with a face of surprise:
"Xubao, are there fruits growing on the trees over there? They look so tempting!"
Lin Xu took a look and said:
"There is a wild fruit forest over there. In the past, the aborigines on this mountain often picked them and sold them down the mountain. The fruits are delicious. If you like them, we can go there after lunch."
"Okay, okay!"
After carrying their luggage in, the two drove back to the farm restaurant.
Lin Xu is going to cook a roasted whole lamb, and Shen Baobao is going to live broadcast Lin Xu cooking a roasted whole lamb.
8am.
The live broadcast officially begins.
Lin Xu first said hello to the netizens in the live broadcast room and then assembled the two sets of grills.
After loading, go to the kitchen, take the marinated lamb out of the refrigerator, wash the marinade on the surface with water, spread it out to dry, and prepare the crispy water for roasting the lamb.
"Wow, I haven't even gotten up yet and I saw Boss Lin roasting a lamb for me. It feels so wonderful, like a carnival."
The netizen's name is Bobo Unhappy, and his family is in the sanitary materials business. In the past two years, the business volume has been high and the business has been good.
Yesterday, he originally wanted to take a photo with Lin Xu. He had no intention of buying roasted whole sheep because there were several whole sheep shops in Yinzhou City and he was almost tired of eating them.
But after tasting Lin Xu’s craftsmanship, the foodie nature in my heart was activated.
Two roasted whole lambs were ordered on the spot.
Now, having just woken up, he saw Lin Xu meticulously working on the roasted whole lamb he had ordered, and he immediately wrote a carnival sign to express his gratitude.
"Brother Unhappy is so awesome!"
"Brother, tell me what you are unhappy about, and let the brothers enlighten you."
"We, the troll netizens, are not good at anything else, but it's okay to say naughty things to make people laugh."
"..."
Soon, various life coaches started popping up in the live broadcast room.
Even the success master who is good at beating chicken blood came over to join in the fun.
The barrage in the live broadcast room is full of more atmospheric words such as life and inspiration.
Bobo Buxuan was very touched by the enthusiasm of netizens.
He responded:
"I'm often unhappy because my dad is only a multimillionaire and not a billionaire. What do you think I should do?"
Everyone: "..."
The life coaches who originally tried to enlighten him suddenly wanted to find someone to enlighten him.
In the live broadcast room filled with sand sculptures, it was rare for the Internet to suppress the clouds.
At this time, Chen Shaokang, who was being urged to do his homework at home, secretly came to the live broadcast room. Seeing that no one spoke on the barrage, he boldly asked:
"Why is no one talking?"
As soon as it was posted, dense barrage appeared on the video page:
"Have you finished your summer homework?"
"Can you memorize the words?"
"Have you practiced listening and reading?"
"Have you learned all the mathematical formulas?"
"Have you recited the ancient poems?"
"Do you write an essay every day to improve your writing skills?"
"..."
Chen Shaokang was completely dumbfounded.
In order to urge me to do my homework, did my mother even mobilize netizens?
I, I, I...can't I just do my homework?
He quickly went offline and started writing his summer homework seriously.
The net-silent moment in the live broadcast room also came to an end because of his appearance, and netizens once again entered the sand sculpture mode of making jokes and making jokes.
In the restaurant kitchen.
Lin Xu handled the two sheep in an orderly manner.
After everything is packed up, tie the sheep to the grill and grill it.
Today, the cousins were doing homework at home and did not come to the scenic spot, resulting in Lin Xu's lack of free labor.
He could only move a stool and sit in front of the grill, turning a barbecue fork in one hand and roasting slowly. From time to time, he would chat with the netizens in the live broadcast room. The whole morning passed like this.
At noon, Bobo unhappy brought his friends to eat roasted whole lamb.
In order to express his gratitude, this guy ordered the dishes in the restaurant again, keeping Shi Wenming busy. In the end, it was Lin Xu who helped so that the tourists' lunch was not missed.
After lunch.
Lin Xu drove and took a lunch break at the B&B area with Shen Baobao.
After being roasted in the oven all morning, I returned to the air-conditioned room and lay down on the bed, feeling comfortable all over.
After Shen Baobao also climbed up, the two rolled together again...
3pm.
After taking a lunch break, the young couple each went out wearing a sun hat and carrying a bamboo basket.
I plan to pick some wild fruits to try.
After exiting the gate of the B&B, walk slowly forward along the mountain road leading to the back mountain.
After bypassing two mountain streams and crossing a ridge, the two people, who realized that they were "looking at the mountains and running to death", finally arrived at a place where wild fruits grow.
These wild fruits are divided into many kinds, some are like blackberries, some are red berries similar to persimmons, and there are also wild raspberries and cherries.
Baby Shen took off one, rubbed it on his body randomly, then opened his mouth and took a bite:
"Wow, it's sour and sweet. It's so delicious."
Lin Xu tasted it and it tasted really good.
When I stayed here last summer, I just played games and never came here at all.
Now it seems like a big loss.
The young couple started picking.
Shen Baobao found it inconvenient to pick on the ground, so he quickly climbed up the tree to pick, which made Lin Xu very suspicious of how this girl spent her childhood.
The two of them came with the mindset of taking a walk.
The basket was also a decorative bamboo basket randomly taken from the room, with a small capacity.
So it didn’t take long to fill up.
"There are still many more. What should we do if we make another trip?"
After such a long journey, Lin Xu was too lazy to run. He thought about it, took off his T-shirt, tied the cuffs and collar, and the clothes became a pocket.
"Come on, keep picking."
Well, when I was a child, I often went to the house next door to steal jujubes to eat. There were no pockets in clothes at that time, so I always carried them in my clothes like this.
But doing so also has bad consequences.
That is, every time he is seen by his parents, a severe beating is inevitable.
"Wow, this is a good idea. Why didn't I think of using clothes when I was a kid? Well... maybe it's because I'm a girl. Girls should be reserved."
Baby Shen sat on a tree branch with his legs dangling, mumbling while eating fruit.
Lin Xu: "..."
Baby, I really don’t see how reserved you are.
After nibbling a fruit, Shen Baobao picked it again. When Lin Xu's clothes could no longer fit in it, the two of them went back home, preparing to go back tomorrow.
Return to the B&B.
When I took out the fruit, it was piled all over the coffee table.
"How can we eat so much?"
This is a good question. Lin Xu is also worried about how to eat it, and there are so many on the trees. If they don't eat them quickly, they will only rot in the ground.
Walk this circle.
They were both very thirsty.
Shen Baobao opened the refrigerator and saw a lot of drinks inside. She picked out a bottle of apple cider vinegar, took a sip, and said with a smile:
"My mother really loves me. She knows that I like to drink apple cider vinegar, but she actually prepared so much."
Apple cider vinegar?
Lin Xu, who was worrying about what to do with the fruit, suddenly had his eyes lit up.
I remember that during the last competition, the vinegar-making technique was rewarded in the third round. At that time, I thought this technique was useless and would never be used.
Unexpectedly, now...
Thinking of this, he said to Shen Baobao:
"You like to drink fruit vinegar, right? Then I will turn all the fruits picked in the past two days into fruit vinegar, so as not to have to deal with it."
"Can these wild fruits also be used to make vinegar?"
"OK."
"Wow, that's great, thank you husband~~~~~"
Shen Jiayue rushed over happily, hugging Lin Xu and gnawing at it.
Lin Xu: "..."
Baby, where's the restraint you promised?
While the young couple was playing around, the second uncle called:
"Xiao Xu, I just caught a rabbit in the grass by the water. How can I make this thing more delicious?"
————————
Sorry everyone, I took cold medicine last night and thought I would be fine after just sleeping. However, I ended up with vomiting and diarrhea in the middle of the night. I went to the emergency room at two in the morning and got two injections to stabilize my condition. The refrigerator I bought in the morning was delivered to me. The house was in a mess, and my head was still numb. I didn’t feel better until I took a nap at noon. That’s all for today. I’ll adjust it again and resume normal updates tomorrow.
