Chapter 557 How Does It Feel to Sit at the Same Table with Children and Eat? Shen Jiayue: You Can’t Get It at All! 【Please Subscribe】

Not long after the salted duck was soaked in the soup pot, Lin Xu took it out and placed it on the tray.

After letting it cool down, you can cut it into pieces, put it on a plate, and serve it to the dining table for relatives to enjoy.

At this time, the carrot cake has also been steamed.

Lin Xu took it out from the steaming cabinet, sprinkled some cooked sesame seeds on the surface, and then put it in the refrigerator to dry. After it was completely cool, it could be fried and eaten.

If you want to eat it directly from the pot, it is best to sprinkle some ingredients such as bacon, sausage, mushrooms, dried shrimps and other ingredients on the surface during steaming, so that the taste and appearance of the radish cake will be better.

But if you eat it fried, it will affect the appearance.

Because the carrot cake needs to be fried until the surface is caramelized and crispy before being served on the plate. Spreading the ingredients will affect the frying effect and quality.

"I've eaten carrot cakes used in soups in the south before, and they can also be stewed into vegetables. Is that kind of carrot cake the same as this?"

Shi Wenming was very interested in this kind of snack and tried it. However, because he did not grasp the ratio of radish and rice flour well, and did not add clear noodles, the taste of the radish cake was not very good.

Lin Xu said:

"The proportions of radish and rice flour are different. The more rice flour, the more resistant it is to cooking. The less rice flour, the softer the texture."

"So that's it, what do you put in the rice flour paste? Do you just use rice flour?"

It seems that my uncle really wants to learn this delicious dish.

Before it was time to make salt-fried mutton, Lin Xu carefully explained the specific ratio of the powder to Shi Wenming:

"In the slurry, 20% of clear noodles and 80% of sticky rice flour should be used... If you find it troublesome, you can just buy special flour for radish cake. It is already mixed and can be stirred directly with water."

Shi Wenming became interested as soon as he heard this:

"There is also this kind of powder. I will buy some to try later. Your second aunt likes to eat radish cake. I will make some for her later... By the way, Xiaoxu, besides radish, what other ingredients can be used to make it?"

“You can also make taro cake, the same way as carrot cake.”

After talking about this, Lin Xu put the large iron pot on the stove, brought the chopped lamb, and began to teach Shi Wenming how to make salt-fried lamb.

Outside, Dundun stared at the lion-headed goose in the cage for a while, and then was attracted by the colorful ball in Shi Moli's hand, and happily played with her.

Cats' attention is easily distracted. Even if they are eating, they will immediately drop their food and go play when they encounter something interesting.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, when the duck was almost drying, Lin Xu took it over and started cutting it into pieces.

At this time, the duck's skin was still white. Lin Xu first chopped off the duck's neck and head, and then split the duck's body in half.

Then divide it into upper and lower villages like chopping a roast goose, and finally chop it into pieces of meat.

When chopping, be careful. Duck meat contains a lot of fat and water, especially in parts such as the wings and legs. The juice is so abundant that it will splash everywhere if you are not careful.

The white duck skin is full of oil, and the meat inside is pink with a delicious flavor. Juice is constantly oozing out of the meat. This is the key to the deliciousness of salted duck.

The bones of the duck have turned green at this time, which is a sign that it has been marinated enough.

Chop the duck meat and place it on a plate, and then pour a spoonful of the original duck soup to make the duck meat more tender and juicy and taste more delicious.

Lin Xu killed three ducks in total.

After cutting, take out the carrot cake that has cooled in the refrigerator.

Because the tray has already been greased with oil, and the radish cake is shrinking due to cooling down, I push the tray onto the chopping board and the whole radish cake comes out of the mold.

The carrot cake at this time is a bit like slightly harder jelly.

Lin Xu cut it into diamond-shaped pieces with a kitchen knife, then placed the pan on the stove, smeared lard on the bottom of the pan, and when the temperature came up, put the carrot cake in and fried it.

Frying in lard not only makes the carrot cake taste more delicious, but also increases the oily texture, making it more enjoyable to eat.

Soon, the bottom side will be browned.

Use chopsticks to flip the carrot cake over and continue frying.

Wait until all six sides of the diamond-shaped pieces are fried, transfer to a plate, and serve.

In the restaurant, guests sat at several tables. Shen Jiayue didn't drink, and didn't want to listen to the elders chatting about the family's shortcomings, so she sat with Chen Shaokang, Shi Moli, Xiaolei, Xiaoxun and other juniors.

It's great to eat at the same table with children. It's unrestricted and you can experience the joy of being a big sister.

Shen Jiayue thought proudly, but when the dishes were served, she realized that she was too ignorant and did not understand the appetite of a growing young man.

When the dishes were served, the plate was basically empty before she could take a second bite.

Xiao Xun is chubby, so it’s fine if he can eat it. Chen Shaokang, you just drank two bowls of porridge and a whole big pancake with four cereals outside, how come you are eating so fast?

And Xiaolei, I'm telling you to pay attention to your health and eat more, but as a girl, can't you be more polite when it comes to eating?

Shen Jiayue held up her chopsticks, grabbing but feeling embarrassed to grab, eating but unable to eat anything, completely reduced to the same level as Shi Moli.

The chopsticks lifted the highest will pick up the least amount of meat.

I had just finished eating and wanted to take another bite, but found that the plate had reached the bottom.

Shen Jiayue sighed slightly, finally understanding that every time she ate at a table when she was a child, her cousin would look at her with disgust, and she must be in the same state as she is now.

If you don't grab it, you can't eat it, and if you grab it, you can't get it.

Fortunately, there was someone in Shen Jiayue's kitchen. When Lin Xu came to serve the carrot cake, she aggrievedly expressed her thoughts that she had not eaten a few bites.

Forget about the other dishes, the salted duck was a delicacy she had been looking forward to for several days, but she ended up eating two pieces. This was simply too aggrieved.

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"Last time, Sister Yuanyuan told us from personal experience, don't sit at the same table with children when eating. You don't believe it. Wait, I will serve the dishes again."

Forget about other grievances, but my wife-in-law didn’t have enough to eat at home.

This is not okay, it will make people laugh if you say it.

Soon, various dishes were put on the table again.

Seeing two large plates full of salted duck, Shen Jiayue became happy.

Hoho, let’s see who of you still wants to grab it. Lin Ji Gourmet has nothing else but specializes in treating all kinds of big eaters.

Shen Jiayue picked up a piece of duck meat and put it into her mouth. The surface of the duck was moist because of the sauce, and it had the unique fragrance and plump texture of the duck.

The duck skin is tender and smooth, and the fat layer under the skin is fragrant and delicious.

The duck meat is salty and has a soft and chewy texture, which makes it extremely enjoyable to eat.

"The duck cooked by my cousin is really delicious. No wonder it takes several days."

"Everything my cousin cooks is delicious. We've eaten all of it these past few days."

"Did you see the barbecue food I handed out last night? We eat like this every day. It's so enjoyable. Those skewers are much better than the ones at the school gate. It's a pity that you can't eat them."

"..."

Chen Shaokang had a stern look on his face, showing off yesterday's barbecue.

Shi Moli and Xiaoxun were so greedy that they felt that life in the scenic spot was better during the New Year celebrations at home.

Shen Jiayue said to cousin Shaokang:

"It doesn't matter if you poison the class, you can also poison your own family, right? But Jasmine and Xiaoxun can stay here for two days. We will leave the day after tomorrow. If we want to eat delicious food, we can only wait until next year's Spring Festival."

Although I may return to my hometown frequently this year to participate in ribbon-cutting and opening ceremonies.

But Xiaoxun and the others can't go to scenic spots every day. They are determined to apply for the Central University of Finance and Economics. The score line is still a bit high for candidates from the Central Plains area.

If you want to pass the exam, you just have to work harder.

Not long after, Lin Xu brought another plate of fried carrot cake.

He sat down next to Shen Jiayue and said with a smile:

"In about ten minutes, the salt-fried mutton will be ready. Those who want to eat mutton can wait."

After speaking, he picked up a piece of carrot cake and tasted it.

As soon as you enter your mouth, you can feel the unique rich aroma of lard. The surface has been fried until crispy, and it tastes charred and crispy, while the inside is soft and fragrant with multiple textures.

The shredded radish is fresh and delicious, the dried shrimp is fragrant, and the sausage is chewy and full of cured flavor.

Coupled with the aroma of diced fatty and lean meat, as well as mushrooms and other ingredients, it tastes really comfortable.

No wonder southerners like to eat carrot cake, it tastes really good.

Lin Xu finished one piece, then picked up the salted duck and tasted it.

The duck skin is fragrant and smooth, the duck meat is fresh and tender, and the flavor is rich, especially the salty flavor unique to table salt. When you eat it in your mouth, you will feel like you can't stop.

Even if Lin Xu is not from Jinling, he is still a little addicted at the moment.

If I could eat this every day and kill half of it on the way home from get off work, I would be happy just thinking about it.

After returning to the capital the day after tomorrow, freshen the salted duck as soon as possible.

It just so happens that the Chinese New Year has just ended, so I need some refreshing meat dishes to spice things up.

At the table next to him, Zhang Chunsheng, who originally doubted whether the salted duck could be cooked, was devouring duck meat and was full of praise for Lin Xu's craftsmanship:

"I didn't expect salted duck to be so delicious. It goes so well with white wine."

Shen Guofu echoed:

"Yes, as soon as I tasted the taste of this duck, I knew that Brother Chunsheng would need at least half a catty at noon today."

Jia Xingwang put a piece of duck meat on his plate and said with a smile:

"For Brother Chunsheng, half a pound is just a smear in his mouth. On the winter solstice, Wenming stewed a pot of big bones, and he drank nearly a pound and a half."

"Hey, is this too much? Brother Chun Sheng will definitely be a good hand if he goes to run business."

Zhang Chunsheng smiled:

"I'm a stupid person. I don't have much business, and I don't have any hobbies. I just smoke and drink. I know it's bad for your health, but that's just my hobby, so I just eat and drink until I can't drink anymore."

He is a typical optimist.

Shen Guofu said:

"Then you have to have it in moderation. Don't be greedy. I'll be waiting for Brother Chun Sheng to help with the business here, so you have to take care of yourself."

While they were chatting, the salt-fried mutton came out of the pot, and Lin Xu and Shi Wenming put a basin on each table.

A whole sheep is definitely enough.

And unlike the goat last time, this time it was an authentic prairie sheep, with tender, plump and delicious meat.

There is a trick to eating mutton. Basically, the mutton that can be eaten by rinsing it with water is of good quality. The slightly worse ones either foam in the water or have a strong smell.

Only sheep that can withstand the test of clean water deserve simpler cooking methods.

When the mutton is served, the drinkers continue to drink, while the non-drinkers start to fill up the rice, those who take the steamed buns take the steamed buns, and start eating lunch.

Outsiders are not very fond of steamed buns, and they always feel that they are not a staple food, but for people in North China, this is a staple food that cannot be separated from three meals a day.

In addition to steamed buns, there are noodles. As for rice, I used to eat it occasionally to spice up my life.

In recent years, more and more people are eating rice.

In the early years, Zhang Chunsheng went to the south to work with others in his village. Because he was not used to eating rice, he always felt that he was not full and lost more than ten kilograms in a month.

After returning home, I ate several large steamed buns in one sitting, and then I was satisfied.

At the table where Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue sat, everyone was holding a large bowl of rice and happily eating the dishes on the table.

Chen Shaokang picked up a piece of mutton leg and tasted it seriously:

"It feels like the meat is different from what my cousin made last time."

Xiaoxun said:

"Last time it was goat, this time it's sheep."

“Does sheep meat taste better?”

“I didn’t think so in the past, but now it seems that sheep meat is indeed more delicious.”

Xiaolei looked at Lin Xu and asked curiously:

"Why do people here say that goat meat is delicious but sheep meat is not?"

Lin Xu thought for a while and said:

"Maybe our local sheep meat is not delicious. I heard that some people raised sheep in the past, but the smell was too strong, so they stopped raising goats."

In addition to this stereotype, the biggest reason is the strong hometown complex of people from all over the world.

I feel that the ones from my hometown are the best, and those from other places are not good.

Especially for mutton, people from all over the country think that their local mutton is the most delicious. At the same time, they are not used to eating other sheep from other places. Even the Tan sheep, Ximeng sheep, Altai sheep and other breeds, they stubbornly feel that they are not as delicious as the sheep from their hometown.

Lin Xu doesn't have such a complex. It's delicious.

The growth environment of other sheep is different, so if you insist on quality, isn't this just looking for trouble?

If you can't compare with the quality of mutton, don't compare with them. Just compare with their wheat yield.

"Xubao, what are we doing this afternoon?"

Lin Xu thought for a while and said:

"I'm going to lower the fishing net into the reservoir, catch some small fish, and bake some dried fish for Dundun. He eats meat every day recently, and the freeze-dried quail he brought has been eaten. It's time to eat some dried fish."

In the afternoon, the relatives are expected to dig wild vegetables again, which has become a fixed project for the relatives.

During the Chinese New Year, I eat a lot of big fish and meat. It is really comfortable to have some juicy wild vegetables.

But Lin Xu won't go. He plans to lower the fishing net in and take some more videos. He will take advantage of the fact that the snow on the mountain has not yet finished melting to take more snow scene material.

As for tomorrow, I will teach the second uncle how to make flame drunk goose, soy sauce duck, salted duck, and fragrant rice duck. It is a full day of teaching tasks. In addition, I have to find time to take out the pumpkins and sweet potatoes at home.

Make some dried pumpkin and sweet potato, and boil the rest into pumpkin candy and sweet potato candy.

The method of making sugar is quite simple. It is the same as that of Qiuli paste. It is crushed first and then boiled. Finally, the soup is filtered out and boiled into syrup.

As for the filtered residue, there is no need to throw it away. You can add some flour and sugar and bake it into shortbread.

As long as you put your mind to it, there is no problem in making these ingredients delicious.

After tomorrow, it's time to set off back.

I went home for ten days during the Spring Festival. I originally wanted to have some fun and rest, but in fact I didn’t have much free time at all.

Lin Xu put a piece of lamb leg that was browned on the outside into his mouth, chewing it slowly while sighing at how fast time flies.

When I was in school, I always felt that the winter and summer vacations were relatively long. It was okay to open it at home and play games every day. However, in the past ten days since I came back, Shen Jiayue's PS5 has not even been taken out of the suitcase, let alone playing games.

But in life, how can we always enjoy ourselves with peace of mind?

Thinking of this, Lin Xu turned his face and said to Zhang Chunsheng:

"Uncle Chunsheng, bring some geese and ducks with you when you come tomorrow. I'll teach my second uncle how to cook some food, and I'll also cook a feast for the opening of the scenic spot."

Needless to say, the taste of the flame drunk goose will probably attract even those who are used to eating big fish and meat these days.

Zhang Chunsheng agreed:

"Okay, it just so happens that it breaks five today, so we can do business tomorrow. I'll go buy it early in the morning."

In the past, no business was allowed to be done without breaking five. Although this rule is no longer in most places, in rural areas, this custom still remains.

Lin Xu agreed and continued eating.

After the meal, he and Shi Wenming cleaned up the kitchen and packed up the remaining salted duck for the family.

When people bring gifts to visit relatives, it stands to reason that they need to give gifts in return.

Lin Xu felt that no gift was as real as this salted duck. Anyway, you have to eat this thing the same day it is made. Once it is left, the taste will deteriorate.

After cleaning up the kitchen, the relatives were really excited to drive to dig wild vegetables.

Shi Wenming, Jia Xingwang, Zhang Chunsheng and others were left to discuss the work plan after starting work tomorrow.

The Spring Festival holiday is supposed to be the peak tourist season, but because there is still some finishing work left for the construction on the mountain, the scenic spot is closed this year to be on the safe side.

After starting work tomorrow, we must seize the time to finish the finishing work and open the business early.

Lin Xu came to the reservoir and drove a boat with Chen Meiliang to lower some fishing nets in the reed pond on the west bank. Then he drove and took a lot of video footage with Shen Jiayue using an aerial camera.

When the scenic spot reopens, you can edit it and send it out to help your family attract customers.

"Wow, I just realized that the backside of Longshou Peak is so beautiful. This mountain is perfect for developing scenic spots."

Shen Jiayue looked at the video footage uploaded by the aerial camera and looked at the scenic spot from a different angle. She actually had a different feeling.

After taking pictures of the mountain, I took pictures of the reservoir and the water park next to it.

Not far away, the construction of a new accommodation hotel in the scenic area has been completed. Furniture, home appliances and other items will be added to the hotel before it can open for business.

The accommodation position here is slightly lower than that of the Cliff Hotel, so it is used as a diversion.

Once the racecourse is completed, some short-term rentals suitable for art students and villas for family travel will be launched to meet the needs of all tourists as much as possible.

The next day, the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the scenic spot officially started construction.

Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue ran for ten kilometers by the reservoir before washing their faces and eating.

After breakfast, he and Shi Wenming went to the storage room of the restaurant and took out all the pumpkins, sweet potatoes, Chinese cabbage, radishes and other winter vegetables.

As the temperature rises, the surface of these ingredients will become wet, and it is estimated that they will go bad in a short time.

Now we need to pickle and process the dishes as much as possible before they go bad.

Lin Xu first rinsed these ingredients and rinsed away the mud, water and dust on the surface.

Then pick out the big radish, cut it into strips with a kitchen knife, put it into a large basin, add salt, and start killing the water.

The large radish is cut into pieces and then dried in the sun to become a delicious dried radish.

If these radishes are soaked in soy sauce used to make pickled cucumbers, they become pickled radishes. If they are dried and packed in bags, they become dried radishes suitable for stews.

There are many ways to eat it, and it is considered a relatively easy-to-handle ingredient.

Shen Jiayue was helping. Although she was often of no help, the girl was very happy.

There is a sense of accomplishment in finally becoming a housewife.

After pickling the radishes, she looked at the cabbage on the ground and asked curiously:

"Xubao, what to do with these cabbages? Do you want to make kimchi?"

Lin Xu nodded and asked:

"Do you have any good suggestions?"

"I think it can be made into spicy cabbage, and I happened to shoot a video on how to make spicy cabbage."

kimchi?

Lin Xu suddenly felt that this proposal was quite good...
