Chapter 241 For the trial opening, we made a delicacy that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year - pressed pig head! 【Please subscribe】

Shen Guofu thought for a while and turned his attention to his son-in-law.

Lin Xu immediately understood what his father-in-law meant.

He coughed lightly and then said:

"Let's drive that big G and get it checked. After all, I haven't had it serviced after driving it for so long. I even went to Yinzhou, and I always feel that the brakes are a bit hard."

Ha ha!

He deserves to be my Brother Lin... ahem, he deserves to be my good son-in-law.

Weng and son-in-law are of the same mind, and their sharpness can break gold!

If you want to drink from now on, just ask your son-in-law to cover you up, it will be absolutely foolproof!

Shen Guofu suppressed the surprise in his heart and muttered to Lin Xu pretending to be dissatisfied:

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? What if something goes wrong? What do you want Yueyue to do?"

After saying that, he took out his mobile phone and handed it to Zoucheng:

"Xiao Zou, please find someone to come to Yingchun Street later, take my and my son-in-law's cars back for maintenance, and check the brakes."

"Okay Mr. Shen, I'll be there right away."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Guofu was still immersed in his acting skills:

"Braking is not a trivial matter, you must pay attention to it."

Lin Xu nodded as if he had been taught something:

"I'll remember it. By the way, dad, I'm making braised food this afternoon and I always feel like I can't grasp the taste. If you're not busy, can you stay and check it for me?"

Ouch!

It's really hard to find such a good son-in-law even with a lantern.

Shen Guofu didn't expect that after his son-in-law helped to cover up, he also found a reason for him to stay and drink. The process was so smooth that it was impossible to find fault at all.

What a good son-in-law!

He is really a good son-in-law to my old Shen!

He took two mouthfuls of rice to hide his inner ecstasy.

After calming down a little, Shen Guofu picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip, pretending to be reserved and said:

"Originally, I wanted to play billiards with your Uncle Tan. Since there's something going on in the store, I'll go find him next week to avoid making your braised food less than perfect."

He was about to give some more pretentious instructions when Han Shuzhen beside him couldn't stand it anymore:

"Xiao Xu gave you a reason to drink. You can just borrow Poxia's donkey. Why did you put it on? With your half-hearted cooking skills, do you really plan to give advice to your son-in-law?"

Shen Guofu: "..."

Didn’t I get too deeply immersed in the character?

He lowered his head and took big mouthfuls of rice without saying a word.

You can't refute it at this time, otherwise my wife can send a car over immediately, whether at home or at work, so forget it.

As long as we can drink wine, our Lao Shen's goal will be achieved.

As for being teased by your wife, isn't that normal?

Han Shuzhen picked up a piece of cod liver and put it in Shen Guofu's bowl, and said softly:

"Don't just cook the rice, eat more vegetables."

Shen Guofu felt warm in his heart:

"Thank you, wife. I'll do dance exercises when I get back tonight."

I know what you want to say, so say what you want to say in advance. See how considerate I am!

Son-in-law, learn from it.

When treating your wife, you must be as anxious and considerate as I am.

He was secretly feeling proud when he heard Han Shuzhen squeeze out a few words from between her teeth:

"Then there will be no aerobics tonight. I will take you to do aerial yoga tonight!"

snort! How dare you choke me? Let’s see how I deal with you tonight!

Shen Guofu:? ? ? ? ?

I just finished reading "Compendium of Materia Medica" quickly, why did I switch to a new project?

While he was secretly distressed, at another table not far away, the chefs who had almost finished eating were discussing in low voices the braised fish on the table.

"The boss's cooking is really good. I usually only have one bowl of rice, but today two bowls are not enough."

"Me too, this fish offal is too good for dinner."

“Every dish cooked by the boss is so classic.”

"He has dabbled in all major cuisines. I used to think that the boss couldn't cook Northeastern cuisine, but I didn't expect that not only could he cook it, but he would also be so professional and awesome."

"I wonder when the boss will make Guobao Pork. I really like this dish."

While everyone was praising Lin Xu's cooking, Shu Yun and Song Tiantian came upstairs with rice. Seeing that Wei Qian and the others had a lot of food on the table, they smiled and asked:

"Can we sit here and eat?"

Wei Gan and others quickly moved their positions, and Ji Minghui even stood up and moved two dining chairs from the table next to him.

Zhuang Yizhou asked curiously:

"Manager, why did you two come here to eat?"

"The food below is a bit lacking, so we worked hard and ate up there... Hey, you guys really hid something delicious. What's the dish in the middle?"

Shu Yun originally wanted to try the sweet and sour pork ribs, but he had just eaten two pieces at the bottom, so he wanted to try the middle one, which seemed quite satisfying.

Wei Qian put the basin of mixed fish in front of her and Song Tiantian:

"This is the braised fish offal made by the boss. You two should try it and make it a special meal."

Song Tiantian originally planned to just eat a small bowl of rice. After all, as a front desk manager and wearing a slim-fitting suit, she had to pay attention to her figure.

However, when she heard about the fish stewed in soy sauce, she immediately became interested:

"Does the boss also cook Northeastern cuisine? Then I have to try it."

The two picked up the fish offal and tasted it, with shocked expressions on their faces.

Shu Yun was shocked that Lin Xu could actually make the fish offal so delicious. Not only was there no fishy smell at all, it even tasted oily.

Isn’t this handsome boss so awesome?

Song Tiantian was shocked that Lin Xu could cook Northeastern cuisine so authentically.

Even if you go to a local old restaurant in Northeast China, this is the best, right?

awesome.

The boss is really awesome!

Shu Yun came up and wanted to find two bites of food to finish the rice in the bowl, but after tasting the fish offal made by Lin Xu, she couldn't help but fill up a small bowl.

As for Song Tiantian...

The strong woman directly picked up the small basin containing rice and asked:

"Are you all still eating?"

"No more, we've almost eaten."

Song Tiantian asked Shu Yun again while holding fish miscellaneous:

"Store manager, please add some more."

After Shu Yun put a few pieces into his bowl, Song Tiantian poured the rest of the fish offal into the rice basin and made a big block.

Wei Qian and the others looked at this scene with dull eyes.

I have a lot to say, but I don’t know what to say.

Watching her eating, Zhuang Yizhou swallowed his saliva subconsciously:

"Manager Song, have you ever considered becoming a mukbang? With your conditions and appetite, being a mukbang will definitely make you popular."

Although Song Tiantian occasionally watches live broadcasts, she is not interested in this industry.

For her, it would be better to have a down-to-earth job.

"I'm not interested. I think it's good to follow the boss now."

Just one month after joining Linji, she has gone from cashier to front desk manager. She may be able to be promoted in the future. Isn't this better than being a foodie like a foodie?

Wei Gan brought over the tomato and egg drop soup he made:

"Drink some soup, drink some soup, and keep going. If it's not enough, we'll make it for you now."

Oh my god, isn’t this too delicious?

"Thank you, Master Wei. I haven't eaten in the store this month. I was afraid that people would laugh at me if I ate too much outside. So when I tasted the boss's cooking, I couldn't stop the car."

Being outside, Song Tiantian would be a little embarrassed to be stared at like this.

But in Linji Food, it's okay, because this is your own territory, no matter how much you eat, no one will laugh at you.

After Lin Xu finished his lunch, he asked Che Zi, who was watching Song Tiantian eating not far away:

"Do you have elbows, pig heads and pig rinds in the store?"

"There are two pig heads and twenty pounds of pig skin, but no elbows. How about I ask Boss Hu to give some to me now?"

"Then use it tomorrow, don't worry. You can send the pig head and pig skin to the braised food department downstairs later, and I will make a braised food."

Now I have a total of three braised dishes on hand, namely beef stew, pressed pig head and crystal elbow.

Stacked beef is suitable for eating with sesame cakes. The store doesn't serve sesame cakes yet, so I won't make them for now. It won't be too late to make sesame cakes after I master the technique of making sesame cakes.

At that time, the sesame cakes will be served together with the beef.

Let customers also try how delicious it is to eat beef with sesame cakes.

He originally wanted to make the crystal elbow and the pressed pig head together.

But since there are no elbows today, forget it. It’s okay to do it again tomorrow morning. Crystal elbows are relatively faster and won’t delay the trial opening at noon tomorrow.

"Xiao Xu, where are the keys at home?"

Seeing her son-in-law going downstairs to do some business, Han Shuzhen immediately called to him.

In the morning, the family of three went shopping and bought a bunch of clothes and shoes for Lin Xu. It was the beginning of autumn. Although the weather was still quite hot, I still had to buy autumn clothes.

"In the third drawer of the service desk on the first floor."

"Then we will send you the clothes later, and take a rest upstairs. Your father-in-law will not go anywhere when he hears that he can drink, so I can only accompany him."

Chen Yan, who was rubbing her belly and sighing at the delicious food, suddenly discovered that not only her brother-in-law and cousin were good at spreading dog food, but her uncle and aunt were also very good at killing and abusing dogs.

But what she didn't understand was...

Why do I act as the backdrop when everyone kills and tortures dogs?

Can't you change someone else?

Mr. Chen was so angry that he ate another bowl of rice.

If you torture me as a dog every day, I will make you poor!

Arriving on the first floor, Xu Xinhua and the two assistant cooks from the braised food department had just finished lunch.

"Make a pot for me, I'll braise two pig heads and try making a fried pig head."

Pressing the pig's head?

Xu Xinhua asked curiously:

"Isn't this a dish only eaten during the Chinese New Year? Are we ready to serve this dish?"

"Yes, let's try braised two pig heads first and see how the sales are tomorrow. If it works, it will become the store's signature like chicken feet."

Compared with braised pig head, pressing the pig head has the additional step of using the pig skin to press the pork head meat into tofu cubes. This way, the pork head meat tastes firmer and the cut looks better.

Moreover, the upper and lower layers are made of pig skin, which is wrapped with thoroughly braised pig head meat, and there are crispy pig ears in the middle.

The same dish can actually taste several different flavors. This is definitely the ceiling for pork head meat.

While he was talking, the cart boy and two helpers brought the pig head and skin over.

The pig head is white and clean, and the outside has been cleaned. The pig skin is also a large piece of pig skin scraped directly with a machine, without a trace of grease on it.

After Xu Xinhua took it, he said:

"Boss, don't worry about it. I'll take care of it. You just need to give guidance."

Lin Xu was not polite to him, and went to the side to check the stew used to make tiger skin chicken feet and the black duck stew used to stew duck.

Both soups were frozen for a month.

In the past two days, Xu Xinhua re-added the marinade and broth and cooked it twice under Lin Xu's instruction.

While cooking, a few pieces of fat were also put in.

Let the stew finally return to the level before freezing.

The braised food department is not big, but it is kept very neatly by Xu Xinhua, and the rules and regulations of the braised food department are hung on the wall.

For example, no matter what the circumstances, the stewed soup must be boiled for more than half an hour every day to prevent it from spoiling.

No matter what the situation, the ingredients must be cleaned up, and they must not be careless or perfunctory.

It was also emphasized that the entire braised food department is monitored 24 hours a day. If any illegal operation is found, wages will be deducted, and in severe cases, employees will be fired.

Anyone who commits illegal acts will be immediately transferred to the police station.

When he first saw these rules and regulations, Lin Xu felt that they were being made out of a molehill.

But if you think about it carefully, braised pork is really a food safety disaster area.

There are a lot of similar reports every year about the illegal use of nitrate or banned additives in food, the use of rancid ingredients, etc.

Xu Xinhua is right to be so cautious.

Be careful to sail the boat that lasts ten thousand years.

It didn't take long for the two pig heads to be packed away.

At this time, the lower jaw of the pig's head has been removed, the skull has been split into two halves, and the pig's brain has been dug out, and is currently being served in a bowl next to it.

As for the ears, they had also been cut off at the root.

Pigs have very deep ear canals and need to be cut open to clean them.

Lin Xu looked at it and said:

"Then let's blanch it."

Both the pig head and pig skin need to be blanched. After blanching, clean up the stubble that emerges from the heat, so that you can eat more safely.

Boil water in a pot and put the pig head, ears, skin and tongue into the pot one by one.

Lin Xu took the high-strength white wine used for braised pork and poured it into the pot.

Soon, dirty foam appeared in the pot. He used a spoon to beat the foam out. After cooking for about ten minutes, he took out the pig ears and pig skin in turn.

When it reaches the fifteenth minute of cooking, turn off the heat and take out the pig head and tongue.

The pig head and pig skin are scraped, and the pig ears and tongue are cleaned again.

After everything is ready, start marinating in the pot.

Originally, Lin Xu wanted to use the chicken feet stewed soup to braise the pig head. Anyway, the taste is almost the same, and it can even add a bit of flavor to the chicken feet stewed soup.

But then I thought, if it sells well, it will probably become the new signature of the store, so I put the soup pot on the stove and made another pot of stewed soup.

Compared with the chicken feet stew soup, the braised pig head meat needs less sugar and chili, especially sugar. The braised pig head meat is salty and delicious, so you can't add too much sugar, just for the purpose of enhancing the freshness. Just throw in a few rock candies.

While adding less sugar and chili, you need to add more spices such as cinnamon, star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, bay leaves, angelica, and grass fruits. Because the pig head meat is thick and fat, you need to increase the amount of marinade so that the flavor can penetrate into the meat. middle.

After everything was prepared, Lin Xu fried some sugar and added it to replace the dark soy sauce that tends to turn black.

After the stew is cooked, add the pig head, which is harder to cook, first, and then add the pig tongue, pig ears, and pig skin every ten minutes.

Braised in batches in this way, the ingredients can be cooked thoroughly at the same time, making it easier to press the pig's head.

The stewed soup will boil quickly. Use a spoon to skim off the foam, then turn to medium-low heat and simmer slowly.

When making braised pork, the fire should not be too high, otherwise the boiling braised soup will cook the ingredients, causing the inside to be cooked before the outside is cooked.

Simmer over medium-low heat until the pig head is simmered by the braised soup.

This kind of braised pork looks good and tastes better.

After stewing the pig's head, Shen Guofu and the others had finished their meal. The group went down the stairs and teased Dundun who was sleeping on the reception desk for a while. Then he took out the key from the drawer and went to deliver clothes to his home in the community behind. .

After eating dog food, Chen Yan planned to drive to a nearby badminton hall to play for a while.

Rediscover the charm of Sister Chen Yu.

After working as a background board for a long time, there is always a mentality that "I can't get married because I am ugly".

In fact, Mr. Chen has a successful career, a good figure, and a pretty face that is enough to impress, so he has no shortage of suitors on any occasion.

Pork marinating takes a certain amount of time.

Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Xu came to the supermarket next door carrying a box of brown sugar shaqima made by the pastry department.

As soon as he entered the door, Uncle Yu asked:

"Xiao Xu, hasn't your store been renovated? When will it open? I can't wait to eat hand-made noodles."

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"The trial opening will begin tomorrow. Let the employees get used to it and get a feel for it first."

As soon as he heard that there would be a trial opening tomorrow, Uncle Yu immediately said:

"Hey, then I have to tell the neighbors and ask everyone to go to the store at noon tomorrow to support me. I haven't tasted your cooking for a month, and many of the neighbors are thinking about it."

Otherwise, why would I come to you? I would just wait for you to help the webmaster to promote it.

As long as Uncle Yu knows it, everyone in the street knows it.

As for the Internet, Lin Xu only told Brother Qiang and the others that there wouldn't be many customers coming tomorrow, and he had to give the employees a buffer time.

All departments are almost in sync, and then they can promote and attract traffic.

"Uncle, this is the brown sugar shaqima made by ourselves in our store. Please help us check it. From now on, the store will sell a limited amount every day. The quantity is not large, so you have to make a reservation."

The snacks made in the store do not contain preservatives and preservatives.

In order to prevent deterioration caused by not being sold, the store plans to use pre-ordering.

Someone has made a reservation to make the snacks as fresh as possible.

"Hey! It's handmade, so I have to let the neighbors try it!"

See, this is the benefit of having a publicist.

Lin Xu chatted for a while, then said goodbye to Uncle Yu and returned to the store.

At this time, the pig head in the pot had been braised for forty minutes. After turning off the heat, Lin Xu soaked it for another twenty minutes before taking all the ingredients in the stew out of the pot.

At this time, the skin of the pig head is ruddy and exudes a rich fragrance.

The meat has been thoroughly cooked and is still quivering like jelly when you take it out.

The pig head that has just been fished out is soft, so you must quickly remove the skull while it is hot, otherwise the meat of the pig head will shrink when it cools down, and it will be very troublesome to remove the bones.

The removed pork head meat looks more appetizing.

Underneath the ruddy pig skin is plump white fat. When it is placed on the chopping board, there is even oil seeping out of the fat.

For meat lovers, this is simply too tempting.

The ruddy pig nose arch and pig ears that look like they can drink wine are even more appetizing.

But at this time, this delicacy has not yet reached its optimal state. It needs further processing to bring the texture and taste to its peak, so that it can become the ceiling of pork head meat.

After all the cooked skulls were dismantled, Lin Xu used a kitchen knife to cut the pig head meat into pieces.

Get a deeper tray, put a piece of white cloth twice as big as the tray inside, and spread the marinated meat skin evenly on the white cloth, leaving more on the four sides, so that it is easier to close the edges when pressing.

After laying it out, divide the cut pork head meat into two halves, put one half into the tray and leave the other half outside.

"It smells good. If I press it out, it will taste even better."

Xu Xinhua, who was helping next to him, sniffed and was full of admiration for Lin Xu's craftsmanship.

Very few people can be proficient in both white and red cases and braised meat at the same time. This span is so huge that it’s hard to believe.

No wonder the boss has achieved such an achievement today. His level is much higher than that of ordinary people.

Lin Xu used a spatula to spread the meat on the tray, then took four braised pig ears, sliced ​​the thick part of the ear base with a kitchen knife, and spread the ears evenly on the tray.

After laying it out, pour the remaining pork head meat on top.

After re-laying, fold up the surrounding pork skin and cover it with the complete pig skin, allowing the pig skin to completely wrap the pig head meat.

After wrapping, fold the white cloth in the middle to completely wrap the meat in the tray.

Then put a layer of white cloth on it to prevent the meat inside from being squeezed out when pressing.

After doing this, Lin Xu took the tray prepared in advance and pressed it on it. He placed a few more stone slabs on the tray and pressed the pork as tightly as possible.

After everything was done, Lin Xu and Xu Xinhua put the trays into the special refrigerator of the braised food department.

This can speed up the cooling and solidification of the pork head meat.

Six pm.

Lin Xu and Xu Xinhua took out the cooled tray from the refrigerator, removed the stone slab on the surface, and opened the push plate on top. They found that the pork head meat wrapped in white cloth had completely hardened and shaped.

Uncover the white cloth.

A whole piece of pressed pig head like old tofu appeared in front of everyone.

"Oh my god! It suddenly makes me feel like celebrating the New Year."

Wei Qian's family is a butcher of pigs. Every Spring Festival, he would press several pig heads to entertain relatives and give gifts to friends. Now that he saw the pressed pig heads made by Lin Xu, he immediately had the urge to set off firecrackers.

Chen Yan, who went to the court to show off her figure all afternoon, said:

"Every time when the Chinese New Year comes, the UP owners on the Internet are all swarming with each other. If I had known, I would have just taken a picture and said Happy Spring Festival to netizens in advance. Let's see which UP owner can say New Year's greetings earlier than us."

Lin Xu: "..."

Are you so busy even in New Year greetings now?

Shen Guofu stood aside looking at this tempting piece of meat, grinning from ear to ear with joy, and unconsciously rubbed the liquor bottle in his hand.

Tsk tsk, this is a top-notch snack.

With this dish, let alone practicing aerial yoga, even if my wife hangs me on the beam, our old Shen will have to drink it happily today!

He swallowed his saliva and said to Lin Xu shamelessly:

"Let's start, Xiaoxu, let dad check it for you!"
