Chapter 603 Beautiful and Delicious Ginger Steak! Cycling Is so Tiring, so Wearing Elbows Makes Sense, Right? 【Please Subscribe】
"If I take Dundun away, will they be scared?"
Shen Jiayue held Dundun in her arms and looked at the two glutinous rice dumplings with their tails raised. She felt a little sorry for these two babies, but she followed Dundun and ate a lot today.
For small animals, as long as they can eat, drink, and are active, there will be no problem.
Besides, this is the kitten chosen by Dundun, and it must be the strongest among the group of kittens.
At this time, Cai Sen had not returned from taking a photo for someone. Deng Lisong spent the whole afternoon polishing stones. He held George and Peggy in his arms and said:
"It shouldn't be a problem if the two little guys stay with me tonight... Can you let Dundun come tomorrow? I think they are quite sticky."
"Okay, I will take Dundun to play for another day tomorrow."
As he walked toward the door with Dundun in his arms, the little guy barked at the two furry glutinous rice dumplings, as if you were good, I want to go home for dinner and watch TV.
When Shen Jiayue drove Dundun back to Yingchun Street, Lin Xu had already started kneading the dough.
Compared with when it was first kneaded, the dough is slightly softer at this time. The dough that could barely be kneaded together now actually has some luster.
Knead the dough once, wrap it again with plastic wrap, and put it into a basin.
Lin Xu said to the camera:
"Using plastic wrap can not only prevent the dough from losing moisture, but also make the dough more moist. If you don't want to use plastic wrap, you can also brush a layer of oil on the surface of the dough to retain moisture."
After talking about the techniques, the shooting can be paused.
Lin Xu took a sip of water and saw Geng Lishan looking eager to try, and asked curiously:
"Want to learn?"
Geng Lishan smiled:
"I really want to, but your dough is too hard. Is there an easy way?"
"Yes, just buy ready-made wonton wrappers, cut them in the middle, and then cook them according to the ginger sauce recipe. It's not difficult, it's pretty simple."
Before Geng Lishan could speak, everyone else was stunned:
"Is this okay? Wonton wrappers can also be made into pancakes?"
"I'll go and learn another trick."
Lin Xu said:
"It's absolutely fine for temporary emergencies, but wonton wrappers are easy to over-fry, so be careful. It's best to fry them in warm oil..."
Wonton wrappers are very thin and can basically be fried through in hot oil. Therefore, frying with wonton wrappers seems to save the time of kneading the dough, but it increases the difficulty of frying.
Zeng Xiaoqi looked at Lin Xu and asked:
“Do you want to talk about this in the video?”
Although it increases the difficulty of frying, it is still a small skill and is worth promoting.
Lin Xu waved his hand:
"It would be bad if some netizens try recklessly and cause the car to overturn or get injured accidentally."
A few days ago, Shen Jiayue wanted Lin Xu to take a tutorial on how to make fried glutinous rice balls and pan-fried glutinous rice balls, but Lin Xu also refused.
It is better to do less of this kind of guidance that can easily produce adverse consequences.
What's more, people who watch food videos always have the illusion of "that's it?" and "I can do it too."
If something unexpected happens in the end, most likely it’s not because I’m not good at cooking, but because there’s something wrong with the tutorial.
It’s better to shoot less of this kind of video.
It won't increase a few ratings and can easily cause controversy, so there's no need to do it.
Qiu Zhenhua nodded and said:
"Master Lin is right. All fried dishes and desserts must be taken with caution. During the explanation process, be reminded of the dangers. We are now bigger, and people around us are watching eagerly. Try to avoid possible problems."
Fifteen minutes later, Lin Xu took the dough out of the dough plate.
Compared with just now, the dough at this time is more moist. This is caused by the water molecules being squeezed out after the molecules of the dough are close to each other.
This way it has more gluten and a better taste.
Now this dough, whether it is made into braised noodles or knife-cut noodles, or whether it is made into flat noodles, smashed noodles, stretched noodles, belt noodles, etc., the taste is not much different.
It can be said that as long as the noodles are mixed and kneaded well, most pasta can be made.
Lin Xu sprinkled some cornstarch on the chopping board, then put the dough on it, sprinkled some cornstarch on top of the dough, picked up the rolling pin, and started rolling the dough.
This is actually the same as making hand-rolled dough. The only difference is that the dough is harder and more laborious to roll.
Qi Siming said:
“It’s still more comfortable to use this big chopping board and rolling pin.”
With a large chopping board of two to three meters and a rolling pin of one and a half meters, rolling out such a ball of dough was not a problem at all for Lin Xu. Soon, the originally bulging dough was rolled into thin sheets.
Fold the rolled dough piece in half, cut it in the middle with a kitchen knife, then stack the two dough pieces on top of each other, continue cutting, and cut the rolled round dough piece into strips five centimeters wide.
Use a kitchen knife to cut both ends flush, then cut at intervals of two centimeters, and cut the dough into small pieces of five centimeters long and two centimeters wide.
If you make ordinary pork chops, they are usually about 20 centimeters long and seven or eight centimeters wide. The resulting pork chops are very big and very enjoyable to eat.
But the ginger sauce steaks are exquisite, and the smaller the better.
It is said that in the past, the pork chops eaten by wealthy families were no more than an inch long, delicate and small, and one bite. However, because it was for display today, they were not made that small.
If it is too small, it will not only be difficult to operate, but it will also make it difficult to take clear pictures.
There is no need to add unnecessary difficulty just to show off your skills.
Lin Xu stacked the two dough pieces on top of each other and folded them up and down to make the dough pieces form a square.
Use a kitchen knife to make three cuts at intervals on the folded part, then unfold it, pick up one end, pass it through the edge of the middle cut, and then unfold it again.
In this way, the two dough pieces are strung together like a bow.
Qiu Zhenhua said:
"Master Lin is so skillful with his hands. When he puts this piece of dough through, it immediately looks good."
Lin Xu smiled:
"It's quite simple, not difficult at all."
The process was relatively simple, and Qi Siming began to help Lin Xu modify and make the knife.
When everything was done, Lin Xu set up the oil pan, poured corn oil into the pan, and started frying.
Ginger sauce steaks are required not to be colored, or slightly colored. Logically speaking, it is best to use lard for frying, but lard has stronger adhesion and will adhere to the surface of the ingredients during frying.
When the oil temperature drops, the oil will stick to the surface of the food.
Relatively speaking, it is not as effective as using corn oil.
Corn oil does not color much, and its texture is thinner and less greasy. It is most suitable for making delicacies such as shredded ginger steak.
When the oil was 40% hot, Lin Xu lowered the steaks one by one into the pan for deep frying.
Don't put them next to each other, try to spread them out in the pot.
When deep-fried food is heated, it will easily become soft and sticky on the bottom. This is because the heat forces the moisture inside the food to the surface little by little.
In this way, the moisture in the ingredients can be fried as much as possible to achieve a crispy texture.
If the oil temperature is high, the hot oil will fry the surface of the food immediately, causing the moisture inside to be locked. This is why food fried at high temperature is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
When the fork becomes soft and sticky when placed in the pot, the best way is to leave it alone and let the fat fry slowly.
Shake the wok occasionally to prevent the bottom of the pan from sticking too firmly.
But most of them are no problem, because after the water in the fork is blown out, it will automatically float to the oil surface without any operation at all.
When the fork floated, Lin Xu stirred it in the pot with a spoon. When it was almost fried, he quickly took it out of the pot.
At this moment, the row of forks still maintains a pure white color, which looks beautiful.
Putting the fork in the oil control basket, Lin Xu started to fry the next pot.
Put the spatula base into the oil pan. He poured the oil-controlled spaghetti into the boiled ginger syrup, stirred it, then took it out and put it on the grid, letting the excess soup flow along the grid. flow down.
The second pot is done frying, and the chops are almost done.
The dried pork chops are white and beautiful, with a thin layer of syrup attached to the surface, as if coated with a layer of crystal. It looks shiny and very appetizing.
Lin Xu took one and tasted it. It was crispy in the mouth, and the sweetness of the syrup on the surface was mixed with a hint of spiciness from ginger. This spiciness not only relieved the sweet feeling, but also whetted the appetite.
I have to say that the rich families in the past really knew how to enjoy themselves, and even the grilled fork could be so exquisite and delicious.
"Yes, it tastes good."
After Lin Xu tasted it, he continued to fry it. When all the forks were fried, two big baskets were filled.
I just want to bring some to Shen Jiayue later. This girl will probably like it very much.
Ginger Sauce Pork Fork is the princess among Yanjing desserts. Isn’t it right for my princess to try it?
Next came the tasting session.
Geng Lishan sat in front of the camera, with a plate of ginger sauce steak in front of him.
He took a bite and gave a thumbs up to the camera:
"Not bad, not bad. It's exactly the same as the one I bought in line at Longfu Temple when I was young. It was not easy to buy ginger steak and fork at that time. You had to queue up early in the morning and get a ticket to exchange."
Zeng Xiaoqi took a bite and thought it was indeed delicious. She asked curiously:
"Do you have to buy a big bag every time?"
"I can't buy it, there aren't that many tickets. In fact, the masters at Longfu Temple at that time didn't understand people like us who bought ginger steak forks. We couldn't help but put these things away, and we couldn't eat enough. Those who knew how to live would buy some. Rice sticks, honey, three knives, etc. can be eaten at home for a long time..."
In times of scarcity, everyone tried to save as much food as possible.
Only people like Geng Lishan who are greedy for enjoyment would choose the expensive and flashy Honey Sauce Pai Cha.
Geng Lishan ate another piece and then said:
"Actually, we didn't understand those chefs at that time. We obviously didn't have to worry about selling such delicious dim sum, so why couldn't we make it every day? At that time, we could eat it twice a year, and many gourmets in Sijiu City were so excited that they screamed. ."
Zeng Xiaoqi said:
"You can eat more now. With Boss Lin here, you can eat as much as you want."
Geng Lishan waved his hand:
"No, you can't eat too sweet things. You young people should also eat less. I read on the Internet that there are more and more people with diabetes, and they are getting younger and younger... Pai Cha is good, but don't eat too much, otherwise it won't matter. benefit……"
After the video was recorded, Xiao Wei Xiaosui, Chen Yan, Dou Wenjing and others who came to visit swarmed up and all grabbed the ginger steaks in the basket and ate them.
The pork chop is very thin, and it will crisp up when you eat it. It looks like a big piece, but you can actually eat it in one bite.
This irresistible snack was simply torture to the staff watching around them.
Lin Xu packed some for Shen Jiayue in a bag, and then went downstairs and drove back, planning to give it to his baby to try. Later, he asked the pastry department to make some too, so that the employees in the store would enjoy it.
Then I put it in the store.
The pastry department has hand-rolled noodles, so you don’t have to worry about running out of dough sheets. Syrup and ginger juice are also common ingredients. If customers order, they can be fried directly and served, which is very convenient.
There are many people here in the capital who have feelings for ginger braised pork chops.
As long as you do a little publicity, you won't have to worry about losing business.
Not to mention anything else, the old neighbors on Yingchun Street will flock here to taste this delicious dish in their memories.
Come to the store.
Lin Xu saw Dundun who had just finished eating and was squatting on the service table licking his paws.
Shen Jiayue was on the side, holding up her mobile phone to show Shu Yun and Song Tiantian the little kitten taken today:
"Dundun is like a dedicated parent, taking them to play and jump, and also teaches them to sharpen their claws, eat, wash their faces, and cover them with cat litter. If this guy were a human being, he would definitely be a super warm man."
When Shu Yun heard this, he hugged Dundun and kissed him:
"Now we are also a warm couple... my godson is awesome!"
Lin Xu took out the ginger steak and said:
"Let's try some snacks that were just made in the company. People in the company are grabbing them right now. When I went downstairs, even Sister Panpan rushed over. The scene was very chaotic."
When recording the show, Geng Lishan said he couldn't eat more. Now that he's fine, he can't eat more even if he wants to because he can't get it.
Shen Jiayue opened the disposable lunch box and was about to taste it when she turned her face and saw Aunt Lucy coming into the store and said quickly:
"Aunt Lucy, come and try it. This is my favorite snack when I was a child."
After Lucy got acquainted with everyone, she didn't regard herself as an outsider at all. This is also the style of foreigners, not reserved and unpretentious, unlike Chinese people who make many turns in one sentence.
She walked over and saw the crystal clear row of forks, and immediately exclaimed:
"Wow, so beautiful!"
Several people pinched it and tasted it. While eating, Shen Jiayue explained to Lucy the status of ginger steak in Yanjing dim sum.
"This dim sum is absolutely C-level. It's like a princess. It's extremely delicate."
She racked her brains to think of English words that she had long forgotten. Fortunately, Shu Yun used to work at the front desk of Diaoyutai. His English was very good and he could easily translate for everyone.
The more Lucy listened, the more she liked it, and then she said in blunt Mandarin:
"I know, I know, this dim sum... in Chinese is... Wang Cuihua, right?"
Lin Xu rubbed his temples.
It feels like Lucy has been completely taken to the ditch by her mistress. Will the name given by her love rival have a good meaning?
But no one dared to say more. Although Lucy was pretty and liked everyone, but if we want to have a close relationship, it would have to be the mistress. After all, how could anyone withstand so many red envelopes?
Before meeting his wife, Lin Xu had always felt that it was right that money could not buy family affection.
But since he met his senior wife, he felt that sometimes he could still try to buy something. After all, he and his senior brother would have fallen into trouble.
"What plans do you have for the weekend?"
Lucy was very interested in sweets. While eating, she chatted with Shen Jiayue in blunt Mandarin.
"We are going to ride bicycles to the ginkgo garden in the suburbs on the weekend. It is about dozens of kilometers away. Aunt Lucy, why don't you come with us? We can have a picnic together."
"What? Bicycle?"
Lucy suddenly spoke a lot of English. Lin Xu, Shen Jiayue and Song Tiantian couldn't understand it at all. Shu Yun acted as the translator:
"Aunt Lucy said that she is very good at cycling and has represented Scotland in the Tour de France... It feels so awesome. Tiantian, you have been riding for so long, why don't you try to compete with Aunt Lucy?"
Song Tiantian said quickly:
"It's okay for me to abuse Wei Gan. Forget about the others. I can't even catch up with my classmates from the sports school. Cycling requires too much physical fitness. I'm still better at javelin throwing."
Well, the strongest fighter in the store took the initiative to pay tribute to France before he even appeared. It seems that he is going to be abused over the weekend.
When Lucy was looking forward to riding with everyone, Shen Jiayue asked:
"Auntie, when did you buy a bicycle? Why haven't I seen you ride one?"
Lucy pointed outside:
"Bicycles are too expensive. I prefer shared bicycles, which are super convenient."
If you are abused by someone with good equipment, no one will say anything.
But being abused on a shared bicycle... Shen Jiayue always felt bad.
So she thought for a while and said:
"Then let me give you a bicycle. When the time comes, we will ride on the same bicycle. It will be easier to recognize and avoid getting separated as soon as we hit the road."
Lucy looked surprised, she didn't expect someone to give her a bicycle.
She immediately expressed her gratitude and showed off on her WeChat Moments.
Several colleagues from Peking University are still wondering in the comment area what kind of bicycles others will give as gifts, not just some brand-name bicycles that cost two or three hundred yuan, but they are also comfortable to ride on shared bicycles.
Lucy thought it was just an ordinary bicycle, but the next day she saw it was a carbon fiber road bike worth tens of thousands, and she was immediately overjoyed.
On Saturday morning, Shen Jia and Lin Xu changed into sportswear suitable for cycling, and both wore cycling hats, cycling gloves and cycling glasses.
It doesn’t matter whether the level is good or not, the equipment must be complete.
The two of them carried Dundun downstairs, put Dundun into the specially installed basket in front, and rode towards Yingchun Street, where they would meet today.
Lin Xu was carrying a cat bag and said to Dundun sitting in the basket:
"If you feel cold, go into the cat bag. Don't hold on. Although it is sunny today, the temperature has not risen yet."
"Meow!!!!!"
Dundun urged impatiently.
Lin Xu was riding a bicycle. The little guy was holding the basket with his paws and his ears were flying back. For the first time, he felt the biting wind blowing on his face.
This is much more exciting than riding in a car.
When the little guy is excited, he straightens up, like a classic shot of Titanic, with his eyes squinting and his ears flying, which is very comfortable.
Arriving at the door of the store, Lin Xu saw Chen Yan, Chen Yuanyuan, Dou Wenjing, Zeng Xiaoqi, Qi Siming, Shen Guofu, Han Shuzhen, Lucy and others who were ready.
Everyone was pushing brand new bicycles, wearing sportswear, and looked professional.
When preparing to set off, Lao Shen said:
"We need to bring something to eat, right? What if we get hungry on the way?"
Lin Xu nodded:
"Okay, everyone has a backpack, just decorate it alone... Dad, what are you going to bring?"
Shen Guofu glanced at the window of the braised food department and coughed lightly:
"Cycling consumes a lot of energy. Since you asked, I'll just go back and forth gently... Don't hit, don't hit. I'm not thinking about the children."
Han Shuzhen hit him twice and said to Lin Xu:
"Just take a few ribs with you, rest them in the middle, and then have lunch at the ginkgo garden."
Shen Guofu: "..."
My happiness is gone!
