Chapter 546 The Appointment of Sister Yuanyuan! Steaming Hanamaki and Making Rolled Sugar, I’m a Little Busy on the Morning of the Second Day of Junior High School! 【Please Subscribe】

The peanut nougat that Chen Shaokang wanted to eat should be called peanut nougat to be precise, but it was different from ordinary nougat. It was a sugar product made from maltose.

Boil the sugar until it becomes thick, add the fried peanuts, stir evenly, and grind into slices while hot.

After cooling down, cut it into small pieces. When you eat it, the sugar becomes very chewy, and the peanuts inside are crispy and delicious. The texture is completely opposite to that of sugar.

When Lin Xu was in middle school, he often bought it at the school canteen, so he was deeply impressed.

To be honest, he has always liked this kind of snack.

Although the sugar content is very high, if you really eat it, it is actually only one piece, because this kind of candy is very tooth-consuming to chew, and the peanuts inside cannot be melted if you don’t chew it.

It is quite suitable to be eaten during exercise to replenish physical energy and calories, but it should not be eaten too much and will not cause fat accumulation.

After eating the fried cold skin, Lin Xu took a piece of pork bone and gnawed it for a while, then pulled out the bone marrow and ate it happily. It was so satisfying!

After the meal, Chen Meijuan and her aunt helped clean up the kitchen.

At this time, the water in which the pig's head was soaked had turned red. Lin Xu took the pig's head out and changed the water again.

Then, using sugar, spices, stock, rock sugar and other ingredients and condiments, the stew for grilling the whole pig head is cooked in advance.

In this way, when you arrive tomorrow morning, you can directly shape the pig head and then put it in a casserole to brine, which saves time.

After finishing all this, he returned to the restaurant and saw Shen Jiayue and Chen Yuanyuan pulling Chen Shaokang, Lin Bin and others to play double promotion, so he walked over and sat down next to Shen Jiayue.

After eating melon seeds for a while, I grabbed a handful of almonds and occasionally fed one to the big baby next to me.

After hanging around like this until nine o'clock in the evening, Lin Xu got up and prepared to go back to rest.

I got up very early today to climb the mountain, and I had to get up to stew pig heads tomorrow morning, so I had to go to bed early.

Although you will be full of energy the next morning as long as you sleep at night, lying in bed early and hugging your sweet-smelling and soft baby is not more comfortable than sitting by the charcoal stove and eating melon seeds?

Shen Jiayue, a pig teammate, was being disliked by Chen Yuanyuan. When he heard that he was leaving, he immediately put down the playing cards in his hand and said happily:

"Let's go, let's go, I happen to be sleepy too. Sister Yuanyuan, I'm going to dig wild vegetables tomorrow. Don't forget to wear hiking boots."

"Let's go, let's go. After losing all night, I have to go to the group to grab a few red envelopes to get my mood back... By the way, brother, when I came here, Mr. Dou told me that I was going to adjust my position. What are you going to ask me to do?"

At this moment, he was surrounded by his family members, and Lin Xu didn’t hide anything:

"I originally wanted to surprise you when I get back. Since you asked, let me tell you straight away. I plan to let you be the general manager of Ziqiang Shengjian, responsible for the overall operation and expansion, and you will be allocated 5% of the shares. Salary and bonus are calculated separately, what do you think?"

How is it?

Do you even need to ask?

It's definitely a huge surprise.

Chen Yuanyuan opened her mouth:

"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, not April Fool's Day. Are you kidding me, brother?"

Chen Meiliang also said:

"Personnel appointments can't be such a trivial matter. Xiaoxu will think about it again and don't jump to conclusions so quickly. Besides, Yuanyuan is so young. If she can't convince everyone..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Guofu:

"Then fire those who are not convinced. Yuanyuan's efforts and achievements are obvious to all. Since she became the store manager, she has proposed so many measures to increase income and care for employees. If you are still unconvinced, it means that it is not in line with Ziqiang Shengjian's values. The team should be cleared."

Doing business is not about playing house. If someone is not convinced, just replace them. There is no need to cater to the preferences of employees.

Compared with Chen Meiliang, who is busy with the horse farm, Shen Guofu and his wife, who stay in the capital all day, pay a lot of attention to Chen Yuanyuan. After all, she is the daughter of a relative. As elders, she cannot care less.

In fact, since winter began, Shen Guofu and his wife took care of Chen Yuanyuan.

Not only did he buy her imported winter clothing, shoes and boots, but he also often drove around to No. 4 Middle School to see if this strong girl had been wronged.

Han Shuzhen also asked insinuatingly several times.

If Chen Yuanyuan doesn't want to sell fried food, she can go to work at Shen Group at any time.

It doesn't matter what she does, she is a relative of the chairman anyway. Even if she sleeps on the table and plays games all day long, people in the company would not dare to give her small shoes like they bullied Dou Wenjing.

Chen Meijuan said:

"Second brother, don't always think that your child is not good. In fact, Xiaoxu's decision to promote Yuanyuan has been decided on New Year's Day, and he has also communicated with Xiao Dou. It is not a slap on the head. Besides, even if it is a slap on the head, our own family Why can’t a child become a general manager?”

Naturally, Chen Meiliang would not really think that Yuanyuan was not good.

I was just worried that if my daughter lost money, she would feel sorry for her nephew.

Second aunt Yao Lina smiled at Lin Xu and said:

"Then thank you nephew, Yuanyuan, please thank your cousin quickly. Many people will never get this opportunity after working all their lives. This time I went to the capital to learn more and do more. Don't let down your cousin's arrangement."

From the time she went to the capital to attend the wedding until now, she had always wanted to ask Lin Xu what kind of job she would arrange for her daughter in the future.

If she keeps selling fried pancakes, the family will find another job for her.

Unexpectedly, before I found the right opportunity to ask, my nephew actually said it himself.

This is the general manager of a chain fast food company, and he still holds 5% of the shares. His future income and career development prospects are very impressive.

Chen Yuanyuan was quite surprised by this arrangement. She thought about it and said:

"Then I will go to Beijing the day after tomorrow. First, I will check the data of each store in the company, and then chat with Mr. Dou about the store managers of each store... I held back all winter last year and did not expand. In the first half of this year, I will temporarily increase the size of the branch first. To double the size, specifically, I will prepare a development plan first."

Since my cousin trusts me, work hard.

I happen to have never managed so many people before, so I need to get used to it in advance.

After saying this, Chen Yuanyuan picked up her mobile phone and started grabbing tickets to Beijing on the third day of the Lunar New Year.

"Hey, there's only one business class left..."

Lin Xu said upon hearing this:

"Then just buy business class, put the ticket away, and let the company reimburse you... As a manager, you should enjoy this kind of privilege as you should."

"Ha, then I'm not welcome, brother."

Chen Yuanyuan, who had never flown in business class, immediately booked the ticket.

"Dundun, are you still coming with us tonight?"

Shen Jiayue rubbed Dundun's head and asked.

As soon as the little guy heard this question, he ran into Mrs. Lin's arms. Obviously, he now prefers to sleep on the big kang. It is warm and comfortable, and it is also big and spacious. The little guy can even roll around in it.

In fact, the place where Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue live also has electric floor heating.

But Dundun has mysophobia and refuses to lie down on the ground, so for him, floor heating is far less attractive than a big kang.

The young couple said goodbye to everyone and drove to the mountains to rest.

It was around five o'clock the next morning.

Lin Xu quietly got up from the bed and was getting dressed when he was hugged by the sleepy Shen Jiayue:

"It's still dark outside, why are you up?"

Lin Xu turned his face and kissed her:

"Go and stew the pig head, otherwise you will miss lunch... You can sleep a little longer, and I will drive to pick you up during breakfast."

"But the Lun family wants to sleep with you~"

"Then we won't be able to eat roasted whole pig heads for lunch today."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiayue no longer stopped him.

Well, although holding the Xubao is important, the food is also important. After all, this is a whole pig's head, and at noon, it has to be sent to the group to poison the Yanbao.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiayue stood up and bit Lin Xu's ear, and said in a pitiful tone:

"Then don't forget to come pick me up, this poor little boy who has been alone for more than ten hours without eating."

She is really becoming more and more fairy... Lin Xu turned around and hugged this soft and cute baby, and finally understood why the king never went to court in the morning.

Meeting such a coquettish, cute and hot little daughter-in-law is really life-threatening.

"You can sleep a little longer, I'll prepare something delicious for you."

After saying that, Lin Xu patted the girl's butt gently, got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. Then he came to the bed, lowered his head and pecked the big baby on the face, tucked the quilt in, and pushed the door open and went out.

I drove to the restaurant down the mountain, walked into the kitchen, and picked up the soaked pig head.

After soaking overnight, the pig's head has turned slightly white, but this is just convenient for coloring.

He boiled a pot of water, put the pig's head in and boiled it until it was raw, and then fished it out.

Then take two casseroles, put a large bamboo grate on the bottom of the pot, put onions and ginger, put a pig's head on it, put a handful of rock sugar, and pour in the stewed soup made last night.

Bring to a boil over high heat, skim off the scum, then turn to low heat and begin to marinate slowly.

This kind of grilled dish can only be cooked in one pot. Lin Xu used two casseroles for the two pig heads. After marinating the two pig heads, he started to make breakfast.

First bring a large casserole, put rice in it and bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer slowly.

Adding a spoonful of lard when cooking can increase the aroma of the rice porridge and the smoothness in the mouth.

When the porridge is boiling, pour half a bowl of all-purpose flour into the basin, add baking powder, baking powder and sugar, knead it into a dough and set it aside to rise.

During this time, wash and chop a bunch of scallions, and mix them with peanut oil to lock in the aroma and moisture in the scallions.

Wait for the dough to rise, knead it once, and then use a rolling pin to roll it into thin slices.

First sprinkle a little salt to spread evenly, then add the minced chives mixed with oil and spread it out.

The prepared chives are a bit too much, and there is still a thick layer when spread out, but this is just right, because when making this kind of chive rolls, you need more green onions to be delicious.

Roll up the dough, then chop it into small pieces with a knife. Then take a chopstick and press it in the middle of the chopped dough so that the cuts are all facing up.

Then stretch the dough, then twist and roll it up.

A small flower roll filled with chives is completed.

Lin Xu placed these small flower rolls on the steaming tray one by one for the second time.

Recently, we have been eating a lot of fish and meat, so it’s time to spice things up with some white porridge and scallion flower rolls.

Later, stir-fry some shredded pickles with dried chili peppers, cool some cabbage hearts, and then fish out some pickled cucumbers and small pickles from the pickle jar. Isn’t this a complete meal?

There were two big pig heads at noon, as well as chicken porridge and other dishes, so I had a vegetarian meal this morning.

A combination of meat and vegetables can make the body healthier.

And with this meal, everyone will feel more satiated when eating pig head for lunch.

While we were busy, three old ladies came to the kitchen:

"Why isn't my eldest grandson going to bed? The three of us even said we would get up early to cook for you, but I didn't expect you to come now."

When Mrs. Shen saw the flower rolls on the workbench for the second time, she was full of praise:

"This little flower scroll makes people like it just by looking at it. My grandson-in-law's craftsmanship is really good. Originally we wanted to show it off, but we have no chance now."

Mrs. Chen reminded:

"Xiao Xu, don't forget to stir-fry some pickles. The food you've eaten in the past two days is too greasy, so you need to eat some pickles to scrape off the oil."

Lin Xu said:

"I know how to stir-fry. I just took out two mustard greens and haven't had time to cut them yet. Why don't you three get more sleep?"

"We get up at this time every day. When we get dressed, there is a lot of noise. Dundun is so noisy that the little guy is still moaning and dissatisfied. He is really like a child."

Lin Xu smiled, the little guy is really a heartthrob. No matter adults, children or old people, they fall in love with him as soon as they see him.

I really don’t understand how a cat responsible for wealth can have such great charm.

It was already dawn. Seeing that they could not help much, the three old men went for a walk to the edge of the reservoir together.

Walking along the reservoir to the Starry Sky Base and back again is almost ten kilometers. This is already considered a high-intensity exercise for the elderly.

After they left, Lin Xu cut the pickles and soaked them in water.

The pickles fried in this way will not be bitter and salty. This is a tip for frying pickles.

At this moment, the flower rolls couldn't be steamed, and the pickles had to be soaked. With nothing to do, Lin Xu thought of making nougat peanuts. Since he had some free time, let's make it.

He brought some peanuts, spread them on a baking sheet, and sent them to the oven to bake.

After roasting, take it out and rub the coating off the surface of the peanuts while they are still hot, revealing the white and fragrant peanuts inside.

After doing this, take the non-stick pan used for making desserts, pour a large bowl of sugar, add no oil or water, and cook it on the stove over low heat.

After a while, the sugar at the bottom started to melt.

Lin Xu stirred gently with a spoon, and more and more sugar melted in the pot.

Wait until everything is dissolved, then add a tablespoon of maltose to the pot.

Continue stirring until the sugar juice becomes more and more viscous until it becomes stringy in the pot. At this time, add peanuts and continue stirring until the sugar juice completely hangs on the peanuts.

Stir evenly and pour into an oiled tray while still hot.

Place an anti-adhesive silicone kitchen towel on it and use a rolling pin to roll it out while it's hot so that the nougat peanuts turn into even sheets.

After the temperature drops slightly, you can cut it into small pieces with a kitchen knife.

Next, Lin Xu was busy steaming flower rolls, frying pickles, and cutting nougat peanuts. He was very busy.

At seven o'clock in the morning, after breakfast was arranged, he took a small flower roll and tasted it. It had a strong aroma of green onions and a soft texture. It was very enjoyable to eat.

After eating, he packed two pieces of prepared nougat peanuts in a small food bag and drove to wake Shen Jiayue up.

Come to the mountain.

This girl was still sleeping soundly and didn't even know that Lin Xu had entered the door.

"Baby, get up and have breakfast."

Lin Xu came to the bedside, but the sleeping Arhat on the bed didn't respond at all.

As a last resort, he had to use his trump card and picked up a piece of freshly made nougat peanuts and put it to Baobao Shen's mouth.

Soon, the unique fragrance of caramel aroused Shen from his sleep.

Before she opened her eyes, she subconsciously opened her mouth and took a bite of the nougat peanuts. When the caramel melted in her mouth, the girl finally opened her eyes:

"This is...Xubao, have you already made it?"

She chewed it, and um, it was the taste in her memory.

Ha, did I sleep until the afternoon?

How did you make the nougat peanuts so quickly?

Lin Xu said:

"This thing is easy to make. It only takes about ten minutes. If you want to learn, I can teach you."

The big baby in bed was stunned:

"Can I do it too?"

"Yes, it's super simple. You can even replace the peanuts with hazelnuts, melon seeds, walnuts, red dates, whatever you want."

Shen Jiayue swallowed the candy in her mouth and asked in surprise:

"Then isn't this a piece of cake?"

"If you want to make cakes, you can really make them... Get up quickly and have breakfast."

"I won't...unless you let me take another bite."

Lin Xu had no choice but to stuff the remaining half of the piece into the girl's mouth.

Shen Jiayue squinted her eyes and finished eating happily, and then directed Lin Xu to help get clothes:

"Pair that dreamy white underwear with leggings and down pants. You should also wear a leggings and a sweater on top. I'm going to dig wild vegetables today, so I have to dress smartly."

Lin Xu took the clothes one by one. After the girl finished dressing and washing, he took out another nougat peanut from his pocket and it was immediately snatched away.

"Okay, Xu Bao, I actually secretly hid a piece."

She took a big bite, then put on her outdoor cold-proof clothes and walked outside with Lin Xu.

"This candy is so delicious, you must teach me. I will make a big cut cake when I return to the capital, and I will kill Yan Bao hard. She was once tricked by the cut cake seller, so I want to help her deepen her memory."

Lin Xu: "..."

What an enviable sisterhood.

He cried tears of sympathy for his sister-in-law in his heart. With such a cousin, there was no need to worry about kissing her constantly.

When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, everyone was already here, and Chen Yuanyuan was even eating the flower rolls.

"Brother, the Hanamaki you made is so delicious. The green onion flavor is so strong. It doesn't taste like anything. It's delicious even if you chew it dry."

"Eat more if you like. Anyway, I steamed a lot today."

Bring the rolls, pickles, kimchi, pickles, coleslaw and rice porridge to the restaurant, and today's breakfast begins.

Although the food was very vegetarian, everyone enjoyed it. Even Shen Guofu, who clamored to eat meat every day, also used flower rolls to sandwich shredded pickles and ate happily.

For Chinese people, big fish and meat are just embellishments. Only this kind of rice porridge and pickles is the true nature of life.

After breakfast, Lin Xu brought out the prepared nougat peanuts for everyone to taste.

"Hey, you made it so quickly?"

"Xiao Xu has done so many things this morning."

"Yueyue, learn from it. Don't sleep in all the time. You have to ask Xiaoxu to drive to pick you up. Don't you know how to walk down?"

Han Shuzhen scolded her daughter, which made Baobao Shen very unhappy. Is it wrong for my man to pamper me?

Chen Meijuan said:

"It's okay to pick them up. You just have to rest during the Chinese New Year... Why don't we dig wild vegetables now? I'll show you the scenery in the valley just in time."

Everyone began to prepare tools for digging wild vegetables.

Lin Xu, on the other hand, was holding a kitchen knife and was about to kill two roosters in preparation for the five-color chicken porridge at noon.

He went to the chicken coop with the knife, and Dundun immediately rushed over at a trot.

When the big rooster was taken out of the cage, the little guy raised his paws and hit the chicken on the head. Then he jumped onto the wall of the pigsty and roared with his head held high.

"Ouch~~~"

I finally got my revenge!
