Chapter 543 What Is It Like to Eat Cold Skin on New Year’s Day? Chen Yan: My Saliva Is Flowing Like a River! 【Please Subscribe】

"Dundun, you are so heavy!"

It snowed all night, the sky and the earth were completely white, and the entire scenic spot became covered in silver, making it very beautiful.

On the mountain road leading to Longshou Peak, Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue were wearing non-slip hiking boots and were slowly climbing up the steps on the snow.

Lin Xu was carrying the offerings, incense, ingots, etc. that grandma had asked her to bring, while Shen Jiayue was carrying Dundun in a cat bag, who insisted on following her.

The little guy hid in the warm cat bag and quietly looked at the scenery outside.

Occasionally, a little squirrel leaps by, scratching around impatiently in the bag, as if it is about to hunt.

It stands to reason that it is not suitable to climb mountains after snowing, as accidents are prone to occur.

However, Longshou Peak is not high, and there are handrails and guardrails on both sides of the steps, so as long as you walk normally, you will be fine.

And it was the old man's wish to come up to burn incense. It was just a climb during the Chinese New Year. It was a good way to exercise and digest last night's fried dumplings.

Halfway up the mountain, a family of three rested for a while in a small pavilion with a view.

Lin Xu ate two pieces of chocolate, Shen Jiayue drank sugar water from a thermos cup, and Dundun nibbled a freeze-dried quail in the cat bag.

After nibbling, the little guy licked his paws happily, squatted in the cat bag with a small blanket, and admired the snowy scene outside.

Rest for a while and continue climbing.

Finally reached the top of the mountain at eight in the morning.

The sun has risen by now, and the clear blue sky coupled with the snow covering the mountains in the distance makes people feel relaxed and happy unconsciously.

"so beautiful!"

Shen Jiayue roared and then brought Dundun to Panshiyan.

As the number of tourists increases, the chains of Panshiyan are covered with various cute concentric locks, but there are two that stand out.

One is the big brass lock that Shen Jiayue hung up at that time, and the other is the big brass lock that Shen Guofu hung up. The two big locks made the chain fall straight.

Lin Xu came to the door of the small temple and took out a key from the gap in the threshold.

Open the door and go in, place the offerings in the backpack on the offering table, and then, together with Shen Jiayue, follow Mrs. Lin's instructions, kneel down in front of the mountain god statue, burn incense and pray.

"I hope the mountain god can protect my family's business in the scenic spot and bless the whole family's good health..."

When Shen Jiayue prayed in a low voice, a round head suddenly appeared on the mountain god's shoulder. Dundun, who was released from the cat bag, climbed up at some point and shouted excitedly to Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue:

"Meow~~~~~"

Lin Xu inserted the incense candle into the incense burner, and waved to the little guy, dumbfounded:

"Come down, come down, you kid is really naughty."

Dundun strolled around on the mountain god statue for a while, then jumped down and jumped into Lin Xu's arms.

Shen Jiayue on the side asked:

"If a god appears, will he be angry with us?"

Lin Xu smiled:

"What's there to be angry about? Children's words are unbridled. Besides, if you believe this kind of thing, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you won't. Let's go down after the incense is burned. I haven't had breakfast, so I'm hungry now."

You cannot eat while burning incense on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, otherwise you will not be sincere.

At this moment, Lin Xu looked at the roast chicken, elbows, meat cubes, apples, bananas and other tributes on the table, and planned to tear off a chicken leg and put it on the bed first after the incense was burned.

Although chocolate can provide the calories needed for climbing, it does not make you feel full.

If you want to eliminate the hunger in your stomach, you have to eat chicken legs.

Shen Jiayue pointed to the merit box in front of the statue and asked:

"Did anyone really put money in it?"

"Yes, my cousin works as a Taoist priest here. The most common thing he encountered was twenty thousand yuan. He also complained that the mouth of the merit box was too small and couldn't stuff the whole wad of money. Later, it was changed to a big box."

"What to do with the money inside? Is it left to rot?"

"That's not the case. I will take it out regularly to buy some rice, flour, grain, oil, clothing, bedding and other things for the lonely elderly people in nearby villages. I don't have much money, and I can't buy anything too expensive. I can only express my feelings."

When Shen Jiayue heard this, she immediately took out her bag and stuffed all the cash inside.

"Since you do good things for people, then I should also contribute."

There was wind on the mountain, which caused the incense candles to burn quickly. It didn't take long for the incense to burn to the end.

This also means that the gods have finished enjoying the tribute and can handle it on their own.

Lin Xu received the tribute into his bag, then put it in a plastic bag, pulled off the drumsticks of the roasted chicken, and handed it to Shen Jiayue:

"Would you like some?"

"Isn't it good to eat like this?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. It's already been provided. If you don't eat it, it's free."

The young couple ate most of the roast chicken separately in the temple, threw the bones in the woods behind the small temple, and finally completed the task assigned by grandma and went down the mountain.

At this time, the mountain road leading to the back mountain has been built. At the other end of Panshi Rock, you can see the steps going down the mountain.

However, I was anxious to go down for breakfast now, and since the mountains were full of snow and the mountain roads were slippery, it was better not to take the risk.

It’s not too late to go back and wait for the weather to clear up and the snow to melt.

Anyway, I just ate, slept, and played these past few days, and I was completely relaxed.

Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue returned the same way and came to the Cliff Hotel. They stamped their feet to shake the snow off the soles of their shoes, then opened the car door and drove to the restaurant down the mountain.

Because the mountain road faced the north and was facing the wind, there was no snow on it. This was why Lin Xu dared to drive.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, seeing the snow-capped scenic spot and the rippling blue waves of the reservoir not far away, Shen Jiayue looked at it and couldn't help but say:

"It's such a nice day today. I'm going to play badminton with Sister Yuanyuan later to save me from having to eat at noon...Xubao, do you want to play?"

Lin Xu looked at the white snow around him:

"Let's fight later. Let's drive and shoot a short video later to show the surging power of Maxari in the snow-covered grass. At the same time, we can also warm up the publicity for the scenic spot and racecourse."

The main project of the racecourse has been completed, leaving only the decoration details and maintenance of the surrounding environment.

Take advantage of this time to warm up the product online and then promote it specifically later, which will increase the acceptance among netizens.

As long as everyone participates in the discussion, the top ten hot searches will be on the list.

"I have to work on the first day of the new year. Xu Baoqian is really dedicated."

Shen Jiayue muttered and then said:

"Then you have to charge the drone later, and put a warm piece on the battery to prevent the cold weather from freezing the battery..."

Arriving at the restaurant, Lin Xu took his backpack to the kitchen, put back the used offerings, and then started eating.

The meal on the morning of the first day of junior high school is very simple, just boiled dumplings.

The first meal of the new year is the best meal, and the best meal in the north is dumplings.

Whether it’s a festival or a happy event at home, a meal of dumplings is indispensable.

Fastidious people recommend not eating from time to time, and there are specific delicacies for each solar term.

But for most people in the north, they basically cook dumplings without deciding on domestic affairs and make dumplings on foreign affairs.

There is nothing that a meal of dumplings cannot solve. If there is, then have another meal.

"Are you tired from hiking? Wash your hands and eat quickly. Just now your grandma said that if she had known better, she wouldn't have let you two go hiking. There is so much snow, what if you slip and fall?"

Chen Meijuan turned on the stove and prepared to cook dumplings.

There are side dishes to go with the dumplings on the workbench, including laba garlic that is as green as emerald, pickled cucumbers that are red and crispy, and cold dishes such as shredded ears left over from last night.

Well, starting from today, I have to start eating the leftovers from the New Year’s Eve.

Many people on the Internet are joking that I rushed home on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, and before I got over the fatigue of the journey, it was New Year’s Eve and it was time to prepare for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

On New Year's Eve, I prepared a large table of dishes, so much that I ate from the first to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. After finally finishing the leftovers, it was time to go back to work.

So I grabbed a train ticket and traveled all the way back to my hometown, ultimately just to eat the leftovers from New Year’s Eve.

Lin Xu's family didn't have many leftovers. Because there were so many people yesterday, the portions of the dishes were small. They could be eaten in two meals at most, which was not enough for the fourth and fifth days of the Lunar New Year.

Chen Meijuan cooked dumplings for her son and daughter-in-law. She also boiled a few eggs, peeled the yolks and crushed them for Dundun to eat.

On the first day of the new year, the kitten also needs to eat something delicious.

When Shen Jiayue was eating dumplings, Chen Meijuan handed them two red envelopes:

"This is the New Year's money for you, keep it."

"Thank you, Mom. Happy New Year!"

Not only did the young couple get lucky money, Dundun also received a share.

Not long after, after finishing the dumplings, we came to the restaurant where everyone was warming up and chatting, and then entered the mode of collecting New Year's money. Both of them received a thick stack.

However, Dundun's new year's money was naturally taken away by Shen Jiayue in the name of "Mommy keeps it for you."

Lin Xu also gave new year's money to his cousins. After all, they had started families and started businesses, so they had to provide financial encouragement and support to young people.

Chen Shaokang pushed back the new year's money, and then secretly showed his WeChat payment code.

Obviously, collecting cash is just a pass, so he created such a countermeasure against parents keeping New Year's money.

At this moment, Chen Meide looked at Lin Xu and asked:

"Our family is going to visit relatives at noon. Do you have any ingredients you need to buy? If so, I will bring them back in the afternoon."

Don't tell me, it really does exist.

Lin Xu thought for a while and said:

"Buy two pig heads. I'll grill the whole pig head for everyone to try. You don't need to buy the rest. There's so much meat. I'll eat more in the next few days."

"Okay, I'll buy the pig head when I get back."

Not only Chen Meili is going to visit relatives, but Chen Meiliang's family and Lin Hongjun's family are also planning to visit relatives, so that tomorrow they can eat grilled whole pig heads at home with their relatives.

They were busy visiting relatives, and Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue also drove to the vicinity of the racecourse.

The ground here is flat and covered with white snow, which looks very beautiful. Coupled with the clear sky and bright sun, this kind of day is most suitable for shooting some landscape films.

The young couple had a clear division of labor. Lin Xu was responsible for driving the car and driving along the established route, while Shen Jiayue stood in the distance and was responsible for following and filming with a drone.

Many action cameras were placed along the way to capture the moment when the car ran over the snow.

Not long after, everything was ready and filming began.

Lin Xu drove the car, speeding on the snow-covered grass. The dead grass turned over under the weight of the wheels, bringing up a snowflake.

Then he passed through the middle of the racecourse, while Shen Jiayue controlled the drone to fly over the racecourse, then slowly landed, taking pictures of the car rushing out from the other end of the racecourse.

The drone is in a hovering state, and only the camera moves with the car.

As the car drove away on the vast white grassland, the camera slowly adjusted to take in the mountains in the distance and the sun above, using the entire wide angle to show the vastness of the grassland, the magnificence of the snow scene, and the first clear skies after the snow. The ultimate sophistication.

In addition, the blue sky, surrounding mountains, etc. were also photographed by Shen Jiayue.

After the shooting, Lin Xu started editing the video, while Shen Jiayue took Chen Meijuan and Han Shuzhen to play badminton in the courtyard of the restaurant and discuss what to eat for lunch.

"Yueyue, what do you want to eat?"

Chen Meijuan is no stranger to badminton. When she was working at the Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security, she represented her company in badminton competitions held in the city. However, she is currently busy with scenic spots and has not played a few games at all.

She dunked hard and Shen Jiayue almost missed it.

"I can eat anything, but I don't really want to eat meat anymore. I want to eat something refreshing to change my taste. Do you have any good suggestions?"

When Chen Meijuan heard this, she immediately said:

"Why don't I make some cold noodles for lunch? Eat the hot cold noodles, heat up the leftovers, and steam some rice. You can't eat dumplings all the time. If you eat too many, you'll get injured."

Shen Jiayue fully agrees with this proposal:

"Okay, okay, I was just about to eat Liangpi'er, but what is hot Liangpi'er? Eat it hot?"

Chen Meijuan put down her racket and said:

"Yes, when it's cold, eat it hot. Cut it into strips while it's still hot. Add the sauce, spicy oil and cucumber shreds and mix it. It's ready to eat."

Upon hearing this, not only Shen Jiayue wanted to eat it, but Han Shuzhen also wanted to try it:

"I haven't eaten like this before, are you bothering me, Meijuan?"

Chen Meijuan said with a smile:

"It used to be very troublesome. If you want to eat cold skin, you have to wash the gluten first. Now we have pure noodles, which can be directly mixed into a paste. Gluten is also simple. You can use gluten powder and steam it into a dough... You two, you two are fighting Come on, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare it. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so let's eat Liangpier."

With gluten powder and clear noodles, making cold skin becomes simple.

Chen Meijuan came to the kitchen, first poured half a basin of noodles into the basin, added a little salt, then poured water to make a thinner batter.

When mixing, use chopsticks or a spoon to stir to the bottom to prevent dry powder on the bottom of the basin.

Mix well and set aside to let the flour absorb as much water as possible. This will make the cold skin delicious.

Then she changed a basin, added some gluten into it, and mixed it with water to make a slightly softer dough.

Gluten flour is the gluten structure in flour. Once mixed, it can be placed in a steaming cabinet for steaming. After steaming thoroughly, it will become cooked gluten that is very delicious whether it is cold or hot or stir-fried.

Taking advantage of this time, she took out the noodle gong used to make cold skin.

This is a disc-shaped kitchen utensil made of tinplate, with diameters ranging from large to small. The largest is more than one meter, and even the smallest is more than fifty centimeters.

The bottom of the noodle gong is flat and surrounded by a rim of five or six centimeters high.

When using it, first apply a layer of grease on the bottom, then scoop a spoonful of clear noodle juice into it, and shake it a few times with the noodle gong to spread the noodle juice evenly.

Then put it into a boiling pot, cover the pot, and cook the noodle juice in the noodle gong through water until it becomes transparent. In this way, a thin, chewy, elastic and refreshing cold noodle is completed.

While busy, Shen Jiayue walked into the kitchen with an action camera:

"Mom, can I film you making cold skin?"

Chen Meijuan said with a smile:

"Of course, you can take pictures as you like. Almost everyone can do this, and there is nothing to take pictures of. After making the cold skin, I will make some dough later. The old lady likes softer dough. Our family makes it every time. Separate the cold skin and make two kinds."

Shen Jiayue's eyes lit up, haha, with such a gourmet mother-in-law at the stall, why worry about not being able to learn good food?

In the yard, Shen Guofu was waving his racket and playing badminton with Han Shuzhen, while Lin Hongqi was busy getting charcoal blocks from the restaurant.

Now that the charcoal stoves in the restaurant are open and burning, the demand for briquettes is high.

Fortunately, at the beginning of winter, Lin Hongqi bought a truck of high-quality coal through some connections, and there was no shortage of charcoal blocks.

In the kitchen, Shen Jiayue set up the camera, suddenly jumped in front of it, and said with a smile:

"Happy New Year everyone, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and my mother-in-law is going to make delicious food for me again. What she is going to make today is hot cold skin. Remember to deduct 1 for those who have eaten it, and 2 for those who have not. If you want to make it at home, follow my mother-in-law’s tutorial below, it’s so simple!”

Shen Jiayue didn't know whether it was simple or not.

Anyway, my mother-in-law is in charge today. She is only responsible for taking pictures and then waiting to eat.

Chen Meijuan washed the noodle gong and wiped it clean with kitchen paper, then poured some grease into the bowl, dipped a brush in it, and carefully brushed a layer of grease into the noodle gong.

While she was doing it, she talked about the precautions for making cold skin.

Also talked about the difference between Liangpi and Noodles.

Directly use low-gluten flour to mix the dough, and the dough will be made. Wash the dough in water to remove the gluten, and use the washed noodle soup as raw material to make cold skin.

After explaining this, Chen Meijuan began to cut and eat the ingredient of cold skin - cucumber shreds.

Actually, you can also use blanched mung bean sprouts, but I can’t buy them at the moment, so I can only use cucumbers instead.

After showing off his knife skills, he started to boil water in a large pot.

He also used a large basin to collect most of the water and placed it on the workbench for later use.

Boil the water and it's ready to go.

Chen Meijuan took a noodle gong, scooped a spoonful of noodle juice into it, turned it with the handles on both sides, then put it into the boiling pot, covered the pot lid, and started to prepare the next one.

After more than a minute, I opened the lid of the pot and found that the white pasta sauce in the noodles had solidified into a transparent state, and even the patterns on the iron sheet could be seen clearly.

Chen Meijuan took it out and put it into a basin of cold water, then put another noodle into the pot and closed the lid.

Then she turned around without stopping, dipped a brush in oil, and evenly applied it to the prepared cold skin. After applying the oil, she took the cold skin that had cooled down slightly and took it out of the gong.

When taking it out, first run your fingers along the edge of the inside to open the cold skin, then lift the edge and fold it towards the middle, then fold it from the other side, and a piece of cold skin will be easily lifted out.

Place the cold skin on the tray, pick up a brush and brush a layer of grease on the empty noodle dough, then scoop in the dough and turn it around to make the dough flow evenly.

Open the lid of the pot and the cold skin in the pot is ready.

The entire process was completed in one go, without any delays.

Shen Jiayue was full of surprise and felt it was so novel. While Chen Meijuan was busy, she secretly tore off a piece of cold skin, dipped it in the chili oil on the side and put it in her mouth. Her eyes suddenly turned into crescents.

"Wow, it's delicious. I didn't expect the cold skin to be so delicious when eaten hot."

Chen Meijuan said with a smile:

"When the gluten is steamed, I'll roll it up for you the same way you do on the street. As long as you like to eat it, you can make it every day."

"Thank you, Mom. I'm so lucky to have a mother-in-law like you."

After saying that, the girl tore off another piece of cold skin and continued to eat it with spicy oil.

By the time Chen Meijuan took the new cold skin out of the noodles, she had already eaten most of it.

After pausing the filming, Shen Jiayue felt that eating like this was not enough. She planned to use her mobile phone to shoot a short video of eating cold skin and send it to Chen Yan in the capital.

After all, we are cousins ​​whose blood is thicker than water. We have delicious food, so naturally we can’t forget it.

Soon, Chen Yan, who was sitting on the sofa and watching videos of fireworks set off by netizens from other places with an envious look on her face, received a short video from Shen Jiayue.

"Yanbao, have you eaten? My mother-in-law is making cold noodles. The newly made hot cold noodles are dipped in chili oil. Look at the color. Isn't it very tempting? Haha, let me try it for you first. Wow... …”

Watching the video of her cousin eating cold skin dipped in chili oil in an exaggerated manner, Chen Yan couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and she replied sourly:

"Eat cold skin on New Year's Day, be careful of diarrhea."

After saying that, he started searching to see which Liangpi shop was still open in Beijing today.

I can't help it, I'm really hungry...
