Chapter 599 Chen Yan: I Accidentally Became an Elder! Zeng Xiaoqi: Middle-Aged Women Have so Many Things to Do! 【Please Subscribe】

"Has the contract been signed?"

At the door of Qiu Yaozu's villa, Shen Jiayue got out of the car with Dundun in her arms, looked at Chen Yan who had just parked the car and asked.

"After signing, Director Luo also wanted to invite us to try the CCTV canteen, but we refused."

After Chen Yan finished speaking, she came over and held Dundun's front paw:

"Grand nephew, are you good today?"

Shen Jiayue said with a smile:

"We are so good. We were going to catch the little sparrows that were looking for food in the yard in the morning. After I said that the little sparrows were pitiful, we immediately stopped catching them. They are more obedient than ordinary children."

Today's children are spoiled and spoiled. They will act up and roll around when things don't go their way, completely ignoring their parents' explanations and persuasion.

In comparison, our Dundun is super well-behaved.

"Wow, my nephew is great. Can auntie buy you some freeze-dried birds this afternoon? So you can enjoy the taste of birds without hunting."

Freeze-dried quails on the market are generally freeze-dried quails. Not only cats like to eat them, but dogs, foxes and other small animals suitable for breeding are also suitable for grinding teeth, chewing, and increasing nutrition.

Most of the baby quails hatched by such farms are discarded quail seedlings, so they are freeze-dried, which can be regarded as a way for the farms to recoup their costs.

This is not only true for quail farming, but also for chickens or pigeons, etc., which have similar operations.

Zeng Xiaoqi was still thinking about filming the show at the moment. She looked at Shen Jiayue and asked:

"What did you cook today? It's a lost dish and it's Western food. If it's topical and famous, then you have to ask Boss Lin to come to our "Human Flavor" to cook a few dishes. Many netizens have asked what will happen to Boss Lin after the Chinese New Year. It doesn’t have the flavor of the human world anymore, and there are conspiracy theories that it was suppressed by the program team..."

Chen Yan smiled silently:

"He is a shareholder and the most core figure in our media matrix. Who would be stupid enough to suppress him... Some netizens have conspiracy theories all day long, which makes me not in the mood to visit the comment area."

Shen Jiayue is very calm about this kind of thing.

I have been a full-time UP owner for a long time, and I can see all kinds of comments. Just ignore them. There is no need to spend time to be serious.

Because those people's time is not valuable and they just surf the Internet with their mobile phones all day long.

And your time here is precious.

Pressing the doorbell at the door, not long after, the nanny came to open the door. Lin Xu also walked out of the villa. Seeing that Shen Jiayue also brought her sister-in-law and Director Zeng, she smiled and said:

"It just so happens that I have cooked a lot of dishes today, so I will eat more later. These dishes are not usually encountered."

Zeng Xiaoqi became more and more curious as she listened.

What kind of dish is this that Boss Lin can praise so much?

When she walked into the villa, she was about to check out the restaurant when she saw Qi Zhentao who was busy arranging a plate for the eight-treasure gourd duck.

Lin Xu once made Babao Gourd Duck, using the Shandong cuisine method of first frying to color, then steaming in clear soup.

What Qi Zhentao made today was an innovative puff pastry method.

First shape the duck, blanch the skin and set it, steam it in a pan, let it cool after steaming, then wrap it in egg liquid and bread crumbs, put it in hot oil and fry it slowly until the surface is golden and crispy. pot.

Compared with the Shandong cuisine, this gourd duck has a stronger aroma. The crispy skin on the outside and the eight-treasure filling inside form a sharp contrast, making it more popular among young people.

Director Zeng immediately stopped going to the restaurant when he saw his future father-in-law.

She turned her face to look at Chen Yan and whispered:

"Why didn't you say Uncle Qi was here? Master Qiu is here too. I... I wouldn't have come here if I had known better."

I met the elders of my boyfriend's family during the meal. Although I often met at the company, Sister Xiaoqi was still a little embarrassed.

Chen Yan felt happy and said calmly:

"I didn't expect that Brother Zhenhua and Brother Zhentao were also there... Zhenhua, Zhentao, the name sounds like a family."

Zeng Xiaoqi:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Wait a minute, you actually call them brother?

Isn't it too shameless? Did you just increase your seniority like this?

Seeing Zeng Xiaoqi's surprised look, Chen Yan felt happy.

She whispered:

"Hey, who made my brother-in-law senior enough to make me your aunt inadvertently... Come on, little Qiqi, call aunt, and aunt will give you a big red envelope!"

Zeng Xiaoqi felt that today's meal was full of conspiracy.

She pinched Chen Yan gently:

"I heard that middle-aged people like to rely on their elders to act as elders. When they see their juniors, they either call them by name or ask them if they have done their homework, how is their work, and if they have found a partner... I didn't say anything about you, Baby Yan, don't take it personally. Go, I really didn’t secretly mock you for running around."

Chen Yan: "..."

My cousin is right, people with small breasts are really small-minded!

Qi Zhentao placed the fried eight-treasure gourd duck on the plate and put two gourds carved from carrots. Only then did he notice that his daughter-in-law-to-be was also here.

He smiled and said:

"Xiao Qi is here. I'm just waiting to try this crispy eight-treasure duck. If possible, I'll take a photo of it in two days."

When Qiu Yaozu saw that everyone was here and the food was ready, he said:

"Then get ready to eat, Xiaoxu, what does your cat eat? We have all kinds of meat at home, but we can't let this little guest go hungry."

Lin Xu has already prepared lunch for Dundun.

Mix diced salmon with sterile raw eggs.

Always eat cooked meat, and occasionally let the little one experience the joy of eating raw meat. After all, he is a carnivore, and his instinct to eat raw meat cannot be changed.

Lin Xu took out the prepared salmon mixed with eggs from the cupboard, poured it into a disposable dinner plate, and placed it in front of Dundun:

"Try it. If you like it, I will make it for you at home often."

This kind of salmon is not the kind that is faked as rainbow trout in China, but a serious imported salmon, and the price is not cheap.

Dundun sniffed, smelled it, licked it again, then opened his small mouth and started to cook.

While it was enjoying the food, everyone in the restaurant next to it also took their seats.

Qiu Zhenhua used a rag to cushion the pot, and first opened the lid of the red beef casserole made by Lin Xu. The aroma of butter mixed with beef immediately wafted out of the pot.

Xie Baomin said:

"This beef is well cooked. I'll at least have an extra bowl of rice today... Junior Brother's cooking is really good, much better than old Western restaurants like Lao Mo Xin Qiao."

Zeng Xiaoqi's eyes lit up:

"This dish can be featured on the show later. It's tempting to watch."

The dishes on the show must be topical, sell well, and more importantly, be delicious and resonate with foodies.

With these conditions, the playback volume will never be low.

Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan looked at the ruddy soup and the fragrant beef in the casserole and wanted to scoop a big spoonful of it directly into the bowl.

But no one was using their chopsticks at the moment, and the greedy sisters were too embarrassed to do anything.

Qiu Zhenhua put the lid of the casserole aside and picked up the lid of another casserole on the table:

“This one is the mother oil boat duck. It’s a little less popular, but it’s definitely delicious!”

Zeng Xiaoqi's curiosity was aroused again.

She had heard of mother oil boat duck, but had never seen it. The rich aroma wafting from the pot made her think again that this dish could be photographed, and the effect would definitely be very good.

The mother oil boat duck is not eaten with soup. You have to take out the whole duck inside, remove the hay tied to the surface, then cut it into pieces and put it on a plate, put a circle of pig's trotters around it, and then pour a spoonful of the original soup .

There is a thick layer of fat floating in the soup of mother oil boat duck. If you eat it directly, your mouth will be full of oil, so the correct way to eat it is to take it out and put it on a plate.

As for the greasy soup in the casserole, it will not be wasted.

Use it to cook noodles later, or pour the soup into the boiled white water, which will double the texture and taste of the noodles, making it very enjoyable.

When Qiu Zhenhua changed the knife and put it on the plate, Lin Xu tried it with the cooking learning card and successfully learned the dish.

When the duck was served again, Qiu Yaozu said with a smile:

"Try them all and see how the duck is stewed."

It goes without saying that the duck tastes good. After all, the mother oil alone costs one to two thousand yuan. Just for this cost, the taste can be greatly improved.

Lin Xu picked up a piece and tasted it. The duck meat was soft and fall off the bones, with a rich umami flavor.

In the past, he always thought that the umami flavor of soy sauce was delicious enough, but after eating this duck, he discovered that the umami flavor of mother oil was even richer.

Even the combined aromas of duck meat, pig's trotters and scallion oil are barely equal.

It’s so expensive!

Unfortunately, the mother oil is not only expensive, but the output is also very low. Even Qiu Yaozu's family only uses some mother oil for dishes such as boat duck.

At home, I just use some modern craftsmanship.

When buying soy sauce, you have to buy soy sauce. Although the price is much more expensive, the taste is really different.

"Wow, duck can taste so delicious. It's beyond imagination."

"Yes, I thought it would be greasy when there was so much oil in the pot. Who knew it would be so delicious in the mouth? Uncle Qiu is so good at his craftsmanship... Xiaoqi, try your master's oil boat duck. It's so delicious."

Zeng Xiaoqi: "..."

You have to be one generation above me, right?

Middle-aged women with big breasts really hold grudges!

This kind of duck meat that is simmered over low heat is especially delicious. The meat is rotten and fall off the bones. It also contains delicious soup. With the oily texture on the surface, it is really enjoyable.

Think back to more than a hundred years ago, when I was boating on the lake with my friends, eating the boat duck that the boatman had simmered on the charcoal stove all morning, admiring the boundless beauty around me, and occasionally catching some river fresh food, which was quickly processed by the boatman into wine. Side dishes.

Such a scene can truly be described as the ultimate enjoyment in life.

In addition to the duck, the pig's trotters, which are also simmered until soft and tender and fall off the bones, are also very delicious.

The unique umami flavor of the mother oil greatly reduces the greasiness of the pig's trotters, giving it a unique taste in your mouth.

After Shen Jiayue tasted the duck meat and pig's trotters, she took a bowl and tasted the red beef stew made by Lin Xu. The crispy meat was wrapped in the milky red stew sauce.

You can clearly feel the silky smoothness of the soup when you enter it. This texture is the charm of the red beef stew. The silky smoothness has a fresh aroma, which makes people want to eat more.

"This beef is much better than Lao Mo's. Xu Bao, you are so awesome!"

Lin Xu was currently tasting the mustard white meat made by He Jiashun. The white meat slices were wrapped in yellow mustard, and when he ate it in his mouth, the unique sweet and sour taste of mustard, combined with the pungent punch of yellow mustard, gave him a mouthful. Go down and feel refreshed.

Compared with the mustard dumplings made from cabbage, the white meat slices are more fragrant and have more varied taste and texture.

Eating such slices of meat makes people unconsciously want to pick up the wine glass and take a sip.

What is an appetizer? When you are eating the food, you subconsciously want to pick up the wine glass on the table. This kind of food is a perfect appetizer.

It's just like wanting to grab rice without realizing it after eating. It's purely a subconscious behavior.

After eating two pieces of mustard white meat, Lin Xu stood up, took a knife, looked at Qi Zhentao and asked:

"Open it?"

"Let's go, everyone has already finished taking photos."

When they first sat down, everyone, including He Jiashun, Qiu Yaozu and He Guangchang, took photos with their mobile phones. They thought this approach was quite novel.

The golden skin makes people want to eat it as soon as they see it.

But after we sat down, the reason why everyone didn't eat was because they didn't want to be the first to spoil the appearance of the gourd.

Lin Xu first cut the duck vertically with a table knife. After the crunching sound, an alluring aroma wafted out from inside, and the rich aroma of eight-treasure stuffing spurted out from inside.

After cutting it vertically, Lin Xu cut it horizontally a few times to divide the golden puff pastry into large pieces.

Qiu Yaozu picked up a piece, tasted it, and said to Qi Zhentao:

"This is a good idea. When it comes to cooking, you have to be brave enough to try it."

After the elder moved his chopsticks, Shen Jiayue happily picked up a piece of duck skin and put it into his mouth, chewing it, and admired Qi Zhentao's craftsmanship:

"The crispy Babao duck made by Master Qi is much better than the fried chicken in fast food restaurants."

Qi Zhentao smiled:

"It's very simple. When I'm not busy in two days, I'll go to the company to film a tutorial. With Xiaoxu's ability, he should be able to learn it at a glance."

Lin Xu didn't need to learn. The eight-treasure gourd duck rewarded last time had crispy skin, but instead of using the Western-style egg mixture wrapped in bread crumbs, it used the crispy skin batter used to fry crispy chicken and crispy duck.

Zeng Xiaoqi said:

"This table of dishes is suitable for filming. The number of views is definitely very high..."

Chen Yan stood up and served her a small bowl of rock sugar and white fungus:

"Don't worry about the company's business while you're eating. Why are you more concerned about me than the boss? Eat, eat, eat more."

He Jiashun looked at this scene with a smile. He felt that his girlfriend, his disciple, was very career-minded, which was a good thing. As an elder, he had to help him if he could.

Thinking of this, he asked:

"Miss Xiaoqi, do you have any requirements for going to your program to shoot a video? Can I go and shoot it?"

Other elderly people are too lazy to participate in this kind of shooting, and will only let their apprentices participate. Anyway, their reputation is fleeting for them, so it is better to give this opportunity to their apprentices.

But He Jiashun was helping his younger generation's career, and he was really curious about the Internet, so he wanted to get involved.

Zeng Xiaoqi had just picked up the bowl and was about to drink rock sugar and white fungus. When she heard this, she immediately stopped eating:

"Master, are you really willing to go to our company to film a program? Wait, for someone of your level, you should go back to filming the state banquet documentary. Then everyone will be amazed."

He Jiashun didn't know there was such a thing as a state banquet documentary.

Upon hearing this, his expression was a little surprised:

"Is this happening?"

He Guangchang smiled:

"Xiao Xu came here today to discuss this matter with us. Originally, Lao Qiu and I planned to ask and communicate in private first, but since Xiaoqi has already said it, Lao He, you should also participate, anyway, earlier We cook together in the restaurant this year, and we have many partners."

Qiu Yaozu explained the matter in detail, focusing on CCTV cooperation. Anyway, it was a big battle. He and He Guangchang had already planned to participate, and He Jiashun also had a quota.

As for the rest, we have to stick to the old guys at Diaoyutai first.

After the candidates for the show are decided, we will look for the master chefs from outside, but the candidates are probably already available, such as Huo Yifan's grandfather Huo Anping, and some retired master chefs of Yanjing Hotel.

Basically they are all acquaintances with good relationships in the industry.

He Jiashun didn't expect that he would have such an opportunity, and his expression was a little excited:

"We have done so many state banquets, and we really need to record them. I participated in this matter. When the time comes, senior brother will give orders. I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Qiu Yaozu smiled:

"You have to listen to girl Xiaoqi on this matter. She is the chief planner, and even old guys like us don't have my turn to speak."

Guo Jichang of Cantonese cuisine and Gao Peisheng, the general chairman of the Chinese Cuisine Association, are the two leading figures in the industry. Qiu Yaozu is just taking advantage of the fact that they are not in the capital to temporarily take the lead.

Shen Jiayue listened to their discussion with little stars in her eyes.

It’s a dish for a state banquet. While they’re cooking it, it’s not too much for me to try it by the side, right?

When the time comes, let dad also try it and feel the charm of the state banquet dishes... By the way, dad's big lobster is still at home, and I have to send it to him in the afternoon.

If you don’t lose weight in the spring, you will be sad in the summer. Come on, Comrade Shen!

Shen Jiayue happily gnawed on a piece of pig's trotters, planning to give her father some words of encouragement when she saw him in the afternoon, so as to prevent him from having a mental breakdown when he saw Lieba.

Next to her, Dundun finished her salmon, licked the plate again, and then jumped onto the sofa in the living room, making babbling sounds.

The nanny not far away came over and asked Lin Xu:

"Mr. Lin, your cat..."

"Oh, it wants to watch TV. Just turn on the TV and find any cartoon. It likes to watch cartoons."

The nanny found it very strange:

"He actually knows how to watch cartoons. He's just a kid."

Turning on the TV, Dundun immediately changed into a comfortable position. While watching the TV, she leisurely licked her paws and washed her face.

After the meal, everyone was chatting happily.

There was so much to talk about about the state banquet dishes, and Zeng Xiaoqi also needed these materials, so after finishing the noodles cooked in duck soup from the mother oil boat duck, no one left, but continued to chat.

Zeng Xiaoqi opened the voice recorder and put it on the table, preparing to record it so that it could be used when she went back to write the manuscript.

The more we talked about these topics, the more it made people tickle, especially He Jiashun. He rubbed his hands, looked at everyone and asked:

"Do you want to do something else? It just so happens that I have to show off my talents and have to photograph the state banquet dishes with a group of master chefs. I am always a little timid. In the words of a young person, I am not confident enough."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yaozu said:

"In this case, junior brother, why don't you give everyone a bowl of noodle tea and experience the afternoon tea of ​​the old Beijing people."

He Jiashun clapped his hands:

"Okay, let's make noodle tea!"
