Chapter 448 Never Let Your Girlfriend Play Your Games! A Mouthful of Scum, Dreaming of Returning to My Hometown! 【Please Subscribe】
After chatting with the two old men until around eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Xu took Shen Jiayue and Dundun back.
When passing by Lin Ji Food, he pulled over and went up to get some ingredients. At the same time, he asked the driver to inform Lao Huang to deliver some fresh winter bamboo shoots and a piece of bacon tomorrow.
Pickled fresh bamboo shoots and braised bamboo shoots in oil generally use spring bamboo shoots, which are dishes only eaten in spring in the Yangtze River Delta region.
But using winter bamboo shoots, the taste is not bad, or even better.
Because spring bamboo shoots grow out, while winter bamboo shoots are hidden deep underground and require experienced bamboo shoot farmers to dig them out.
Such bamboo shoots are fresher, more tender and more delicious.
Back home, Shen Jiayue didn't turn on the TV and play games as usual, but went upstairs.
Lin Xu followed and asked curiously:
"Why don't you play games anymore?"
"Aren't we going fishing at Sister Mi Lan's place on the weekend? I'll look for clothes for the two of us to wear. Then we'll wear couple's clothes. I'll envy them to death."
Lin Xu laughed:
"Don't look back and make everyone uncomfortable. Just wear windproof outdoor clothing. The most important thing for fishing in winter is to keep warm and cold, lest the air force freezes its legs."
Shen Jiayue opened her mouth:
"No wonder yesterday I saw Uncle Sun playing with a set of knee pads for riding motorcycles in the yard. I thought he was going to ride a bike, but I didn't expect it was for fishing... Are all fishing guys good at taking care of themselves?"
"Only people who understand life like fishing, especially wild fishing. They naturally know how to take care of themselves."
Lin Xu turned on the computer and prepared to play Oka 2 for a while.
When Yue Liyue helped install it last time, he also installed the stand-alone games on his computer. It was said that the difficulty was increased and the various fines were also quite abnormal.
While he has nothing to do now, he plans to try this driving game that has been riddled with holes by online games.
It is said that when Yue Liyue played G live broadcast last time, he impromptuly drove for two hours in the highest difficulty mode of Oka. He did not run red lights, speed, change lanes at will, and give way to pedestrians... The fans were dumbfounded.
However, as soon as she entered the game and ran a few short trips to earn some money, Shen Jiayue walked in:
"Xubao, my mother said that the stew is not delicious, and it is far different from the skin dregs in Yinzhou. The prepared dregs are very appetizing when dipped in minced garlic..."
Why did you mention this suddenly?
Lin Xu asked alertly:
"Are you hungry again?"
"I'm not hungry, I just want to taste the specialties of Yinzhou. As a daughter-in-law of Yinzhou, it's not too much for me to try the delicious specialties of my hometown, right? Anyway, my mother said, if you don't treat me well, she will come to the capital overnight. Hit you with the sole of my shoe.”
In order to eat something, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law colluded... The power of foodies is indeed powerful.
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"Yinzhou is so busy, so don't let our mother run back and forth. Once I deliver the goods, I'll go downstairs and cook for you."
Shen Jiayue had never played this game before and asked curiously:
"what game is this?"
"European Trucks, the player has to play a truck driver, first earn money by driving for others, save enough money to buy his own truck, and then continue to earn money, and then upgrade the truck. You can decorate the truck beautifully and modify it. Later, If you have money, you can even start a company..."
"Wow, it sounds fun. Let me try it."
Lin Xu drove the truck driving on the highway to the gas station in front, filled up the tank, and took the opportunity to give his seat to Shen Jiayue. He stood aside, replying to netizens' comments on his mobile phone.
After a while, Shen Jiayue drove the car to the destination and taught her how to unload the car and pick up the tasks, then went downstairs to make the specialty delicacy of Yinzhou's hometown - Pi Zha.
From a broad perspective, skin dregs are actually a type of stew.
Many people know how to make braised noodles. Soak the sweet potato vermicelli until soft and boil it thoroughly, then control the water and season it. Then add the sweet potato starch stirred with water and steam it in a pot. After steaming and demoulding, it's done.
Many areas in the north have the tradition of making stews. There are many types, including meat, vegetarian, pork, donkey meat, and even those covered with egg skin.
However, the peel in the Yinzhou area is different from other places. In addition to using sweet potato vermicelli and sweet potato starch, the peel made here also puts some dried shrimps in it to increase the umami flavor.
Apart from this, no other meat, eggs or anything else is allowed.
Nowadays, it is generally said that it is to enjoy the original taste of sweet potato starch. In fact, in the past, when we were poor and could not afford meat, we boiled and steamed our own sweet potato vermicelli and ate it as skin jelly.
But compared with the smooth and translucent real skin jelly, this "fake skin jelly" made with vermicelli looks full of scum, hence the name "pi slag".
Although the name is called Pi Zha, the taste is not bad at all.
This low-cost delicacy tastes fragrant, glutinous, and chewy. It can be eaten cold, hot, stir-fried, fried, stewed, steamed, or even cooked in a hot pot.
It is simply a model of versatile ingredients that can be used in any way.
From this point of view, Pi Zha really looks like a scumbag who gets along well with everyone...
There are sweet potato vermicelli and sweet potato starch in the kitchen right now. Since my baby wants to eat them, let’s make some.
It just so happens that I haven’t had the taste of my hometown for a long time, so I took this opportunity to satisfy my craving.
"Haha, when we got there, I also experienced reversing a semi-trailer into a warehouse. It turns out that reversing a semi-trailer is not very difficult."
While Lin Xu was busy replying to the comments, he heard Shen Jiayue's voice.
He asked curiously:
"Has the mission been settled? How much did you earn?"
After a few more trips, I can buy the cheapest truck head. Then I can travel longer distances and earn more labor fees. When I save enough money, I can spray the truck with postal paint. It will definitely look very cool. .
He thought beautifully, but the reality is...
"The settlement is out. The total is 79,432.46 euros...Are Europeans so particular? There are still some odd amounts."
Lin Xu was stunned for a moment.
No, this was dozens of times higher than the task amount. He leaned over curiously and saw the minus sign in front of this string of numbers.
【-79432.46】
Checking the expenditure details, it listed a large list of documents such as tickets, vehicle damage, cargo damage, and public compensation.
After working hard for several years, once I returned to liberation... no, I should have returned to the pre-Stone Age civilization.
Just how many more trips do I have to make to pay off the debt?
Sure enough, it won't do any good if you don't let your girlfriend touch the games you play.
"Um...is this a deduction?"
Shen Jiayue also reacted at this moment, and she asked curiously:
“Isn’t it enough to just drive in a rampage in the game?”
Lin Xu said:
"Other games are fine, but in this game, you must drive strictly in accordance with real-life traffic rules. You cannot speed, change lanes, make U-turns, or break road signs..."
He told some basic rules for playing Ouka, which made Shen Jiayue even more curious:
"So that's how it is, then you teach me and I'll keep playing. When you finish the job, I'll definitely be able to earn back the money. Maybe I can even buy a Steyr."
She actually didn't know anything about Steyr, but the car she just drove was named Steyr, so she remembered it.
Lin Xu taught her how to accept tasks, and also talked about the selection skills, such as accepting tasks with high hourly wages, so that she could earn more money in a short period of time.
Some tasks seem to have a high total amount, but in fact the transportation distance is very long and takes a lot of time, so it is not cost-effective in calculation.
"Haha, I know, go ahead Xu Bao, I will soon be the king of trucks of the new generation. When the time comes, I will buy the most expensive truck in the game and paint it pink. "
Lin Xu: "..."
There are so many flags set up before we even start. It seems that I will have to create a new account next time I want to play.
Otherwise, you will definitely face huge bank debts.
Seeing Shen Jiayue driving on the road again in high spirits, Lin Xu walked out of the study. He did not go downstairs immediately, but went to Dundun's room first.
At this moment, the little guy is lying on the top of the cat castle amusing himself.
In front of it are little mice, little carps, plus the new stuffed bears and stuffed rabbits that arrived in the past two days.
"Are you holding a meeting for your friends?"
Lin Xu asked curiously.
"Meow!!!!"
Dundun shouted, and then pointed with his paw at the tablet on the table not far away.
"Want to watch a cartoon?"
Lin Xu took the tablet over, selected the children's mode, then found the downloaded Tom and Jerry, placed it on a tablet holder in Cat Castle, and started playing.
Dundun held the heads of several friends in his mouth and faced the tablet and started reading.
"Don't look at it for too long. It's not good for your eyes. If you're hungry, go down and find me. I'm in the kitchen. I'll make you something to eat whenever you're hungry. I'll give you steamed chicken liver tonight."
Dundun flicked his tail twice and continued to read.
When he came downstairs, Lin Xu took out the sweet potato vermicelli from the cupboard, put it into a pot, poured half of the pot of water into it, and put it on the stove to cook.
When cooking sweet potato vermicelli, you need more water, otherwise it will easily dry out.
Just cook the vermicelli thoroughly, but don't cook it for too long. Over time, the vermicelli will become mushy and lose its taste.
It cannot be filled with raw material, otherwise it will taste chewy. Under normal circumstances, the vermicelli is best when there is no white core. At this time, the vermicelli is just cooked and tastes chewy and chewy.
While the vermicelli was cooking, Lin Xu brought some sweet potato starch and prepared to stir it.
I have just cooked three kilograms of sweet potato vermicelli in the pot. According to the ratio of vermicelli and starch in making the peel residue of 3:2, two kilograms of sweet potato starch is enough.
In this delicacy, sweet potato starch mainly plays a binding role.
If you are making newly made vermicelli, you don’t need sweet potato starch. You can just season it directly, press it firmly and cool it. This kind of newly made noodle is called leaky noodle, and many rural areas in Yinzhou will make some every Chinese New Year.
This kind of skin dregs is more delicious than ordinary skin dregs because it is made entirely of vermicelli and not mixed with excess starch. The texture is stronger and softer.
It's a pity that it can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year or when the vermicelli is served, and cannot be eaten at ordinary times.
Pour the starch into the basin and prepare to pour water and stir.
Normally, water is used to stir the starch into the dregs, but today in order to make the taste more fragrant and explore the possibility of spreading this hometown delicacy in the capital, Lin Xu used broth.
Using stock can add meat flavor to the skin dregs, but because the stock has no fat, the skin dregs will not be greasy.
It tastes more delicious this way, in theory.
Of course, it doesn't matter even if it doesn't taste good. Anyway, Baby Shen has never eaten zhuang, so he doesn't know what it tastes like. Even if it overturns, he can tell her openly that the zhuang from his hometown tastes like this.
When the soup stock is being sealed, there should be no fat, especially lard.
Because lard sometimes has a slight fishy smell after it is cooled, and if it is mixed with the soup, the stock will also have a fishy smell. Therefore, the first step in making the stock is to remove the oil and skim off the floating oil to make the soup purer.
Cream the starch with the stock and set aside.
Taking advantage of this time, Lin Xu washed some dried shrimps, cut some minced onions and ginger and a small bowl of minced garlic.
During the steaming process of this delicacy, you need to add more garlic, so that it will be full of garlic aroma when steamed. If you fry it and eat it, it will taste super good.
After the vermicelli in the pot has cooked for five minutes, turn off the heat.
When the vermicelli has no white core and breaks when pinched with your hands, remove and drain.
When cooking, I added half a pot of water, thinking it would be too much, but after cooking, I found that only the bottom of the pot was left. This thing absorbs water really well.
Boil the vermicelli with a little water and pour it into a basin.
First pour some dark soy sauce into the vermicelli and mix it so that the vermicelli is evenly colored. This way, the skin will be better in color and the vermicelli inside will be more clearly visible.
Mix well, add salt and an equal amount of allspice, and continue stirring.
Using five-spice powder can give the skin residue a meaty aroma. In the past, the skin residue was eaten as meat, and five-spice powder played a big role.
Then add dried shrimps, minced green onions, minced ginger, and minced garlic.
Stir it and pour in the creamy sweet potato starch. When pouring, leave a little bit behind and don't pour it all.
When the starch is poured in, the vermicelli will become very sticky and it will take a certain amount of effort to mix it evenly.
Wait until the vermicelli and starch are mixed evenly, pour it into the prepared steaming tray, press it to make the surface smoother, and finally pour the remaining little starch into the steaming tray and smooth it out with a spatula.
The reason for doing this is to make the surface smoother and make it look better.
Put the steaming tray into the steaming cabinet and steam over high heat for forty minutes.
Lin Xu washed his hands and tidied up the kitchen. When he went back upstairs again, he found that Shen Jiayue's children's shoe debt in the game reached 230,000 euros.
He smiled and said:
"Baby, you are not suitable for playing this game. Let's go back to playing G. You can drive on a rampage, rob banks, etc., and be a five-star good citizen."
Shen Jiayue pouted. She had been very careful, but either the line was crossed or the trailer hit the roadside sign. In short, the ticket would always appear inadvertently.
"I've had my driver's license since high school, and I'm so proficient at driving... This game must be aimed at me, Xu Bao, can you lower the difficulty level?"
What's the point of turning it down?
Lin Xugang wanted to explain the joy of playing Oka, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.
He turned off options such as tickets and fatigue to increase difficulty, and even the speed limit.
Then a certain baby named Shen entered the G state again, driving a semi and rampaging around, becoming a proper five-star road killer.
Half an hour later...
"This game is so boring. I just make money by selling goods. It's not fun. I'd better go downstairs and play Modern Warfare."
When the difficulty is lowered, the experience of the game is greatly reduced.
There is no longer the joy of being a cautious truck driver. Now Shen Baobao just wants to hold a gun and shoot.
Lin Xu felt that the time was almost up, so he turned off the computer and went downstairs, preparing to make garlic sauce so that the skin residue could be steamed and cooled slightly before eating.
Well, you can't eat the freshly steamed skin residue. It's too sticky and cannot be cut. It needs to be dried for a while.
In fact, the most delicious way is to let it dry overnight and eat it the next day.
After the skin dregs are dried, not only will the taste be better, but it will also be easier to pour out of the steaming tray and easier to demould.
But as greedy as my baby is, he will never be able to wait until the next day, or even wait to cool down.
Coming to the kitchen, Lin Xu thought for a while and sent a WeChat message to Chen Yuanyuan:
"I'm making my hometown's pizza at home, do you want to come and eat it?"
Pi Zha is not only his own nostalgia, but also Sister Yuanyuan's, so now that it's out of the question, he naturally lets her have a taste, so as not to find out later and forget about his sister because he has a wife.
Chen Yuanyuan has just taken a shower and is preparing to practice yoga with Director Zeng.
Seeing this news, she immediately said:
"Let's go, stop practicing, go to my brother's house."
Zeng Xiaoqi is doing plank support:
"What's wrong?"
"There's delicious food, the kind you've never tasted before."
good! eat! of? !
Zeng Xiaoqi stood up quickly. She didn't even have time to change into her yoga pants, so she put her fleece leggings on her legs.
Chen Yuanyuan was speechless for a while:
"When I raise pigs in my hometown, I will take advantage of the winter to gain fat so that there will be meat when they are killed during the Chinese New Year... Are you so eager that you raise yourself as a piglet?"
"I just want to taste the strange delicacies... Let's sneak into the village quietly later. Don't want to fight... Don't say it in the group. I want to eat it in my mouth before I say it. I'll make Yan Baobao Shu Baobao angry." And Xiaodoudou.”
Chen Yuanyuan laughed:
"You are such good sisters."
"That's right, love is stronger than gold!"
In the kitchen, after the timer on the steam cabinet expired, Lin Xu put on insulated gloves and opened the cabinet door. A stream of steam mixed with the aroma of pork and vermicelli floated out from inside.
He carefully brought out the steaming tray. Shen Jiayue, who was playing a game, threw the handle away and ran into the kitchen:
"Wow, is this skin dregs? It smells nice."
It's still too hot to eat now.
In order to speed up the cooling, Lin Xu put a little cold water in the pool, spread a layer of crushed ice, put the steaming tray in, and used ice water to cool down the steaming tray.
When Zeng Xiaoqi and Chen Yuanyuan took a taxi, although the skin dregs in the steaming tray were still slightly hot to the touch, the temperature was much lower than before.
Lin Xu wiped the chopping board clean and turned the steaming tray upside down.
Gently pat the bottom, then gently lift it open, and a large lump of cake-like food similar to jelly will come out of the mold.
Use a slicing knife to cut off a piece, and you can see that the cross-section of the vermicelli is extremely beautiful, and the red color is like amber sealed in pine gum.
"Wow, is this Yinzhou's scumbag? It looks very good."
Zeng Xiaoqi came over and took a photo with her mobile phone. She also took a photo of a cross-section where there were shrimp skins.
I will post it when I release the poison in the group later, so as to give some comfort to my relatives who are hungry late at night.
They will definitely be very moved.
Chen Yuanyuan took her chopsticks, picked up a piece of skin that Lin Xu had cut, dipped it in the minced garlic and put it in her mouth.
"Huh... this tastes better than what I had at home before. Brother, your skills are really good. The skin is so delicious, it's fragrant and chewy, and the vermicelli inside is really chewy."
Shen Jiayue tasted it and her eyes lit up:
"It's so delicious. Let's take some with us when we go to the hospital tomorrow. My grandma likes this kind of food."
"Okay."
Lin Xu agreed, cut off a piece of skin and put it in the freezer of the refrigerator, and said with a smile:
"It will harden a little when it cools down, and then I'll let you try the most delicious way to eat the skin dregs."
"How to eat it?"
"My favorite when I was a kid... fried dumplings!"
