Chapter 680 The Special Banquet Mission Is Completed, Prepare for the Lottery! Lele Knows How to Pour Cold Water on You! 【Please Subscribe】

"Wow, this vegetarian pork belly is completely the same as the real thing!"

Lin Xu took the vegetarian pork belly out of the stewed soup. The slight wrinkles on it blended with the tofu skin and gave it a shaky feeling, which looked very similar to pork belly.

In addition, sugar color was specially put in the pot when marinating, which gave the vegetarian pork belly a ruddy color, making it even more indistinguishable from real meat.

In order to create a visual impact for everyone, Shen Jiayue went downstairs and asked Xu Xinhua for a complete braised pork belly.

The two pork bellys, one real and one fake, were both red in color, with wrinkles on the surface, and both were in the shape of irregular pockets. At the same time, they both exuded an alluring aroma of braised pork belly.

"It makes no difference at all, okay? Xu Bao, you are so awesome!"

After comparison, Shen Jiayue was full of praise for Lin Xu's craftsmanship.

Aha, even if I have no money in the future, I can still eat meat when I want to. I feel like I have mastered a means of living as a poor person.

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"That is to say, the visual effect is deceiving. There is still some difference in taste. Relatively speaking, real pork belly is more delicious."

After drying the vegetarian pork belly for a while, he picked it up, cut it into strips with a knife, and put them neatly on the plate.

This kind of vegetarian dishes pay attention to the presentation. At the first glance, people will think that this is a real meat dish.

After having this preconceived idea, if you taste it again, your brain will automatically substitute it for the real ingredients, causing brain fraud.

Lin Xu cooked it one by one, and then fried some broccoli, lettuce, and rapeseed in vegetable lard.

Everything is put on the table, and a table of dishes that look both meat and vegetable is officially completed.

"Yan Bao, hurry up and eat something delicious!"

After the dishes were placed, Shen Jiayue took a photo with her mobile phone and sent it to Chen Yan.

I originally wanted to inform my parents, but after thinking about the calories in these dishes, I thought it would be better not to ruin my mom’s fat loss plan.

The calories of these dishes on the table are much higher than real meat dishes, and most of them are carbohydrates.

If Lao Shen comes over and has a big meal, it is very likely that he will return to before liberation.

In the office, Chen Yanzheng and Zeng Xiaoqi were sitting on the sofa, looking at the shooting opinions put forward by CCTV. They were listed one by one for several pages.

That's how it is when cooperating with the national mouthpiece department. There can be no mistakes. Every detail needs to be discussed and communicated before it can be implemented.

However, the preliminary work is a bit cumbersome, but once the shooting actually starts, it won’t be so much trouble.

When she heard the message beep on her phone, she picked it up and took a look at it, and couldn't help but curl her lips:

"You know that I can't eat these big fish and meat, but you went out of your way to tempt me... Little Qiqi, do you want to eat? Although this large table of dishes may seem ordinary, there are many kinds after all."

Zeng Xiaoqi on the side took the phone and took a look:

"Why did you suddenly cook such a large table of dishes? Is there anything worth celebrating?"

Chen Yan didn't know either. She replied to Shen Jiayue and continued to read the document.

However, just after taking a second look, another message came:

“It’s all vegetarian, there’s not a single meat dish!”

Chen Yan frowned:

"You can insult my personality, but you can't insult my IQ. Are these big elbows, Dongpo pork, pork belly strips, roast duck slices, sweet and sour pork loin, and squirrel mandarin fish all vegetarian?"

Hey, don't even think about dragging me into the water!

Zeng Xiaoqi on the side said:

"At noon, I remember Boss Lin said that he wanted to shoot a vegetarian banquet. At that time, he chatted with Chef Xie and the others on WeChat for a while, as if asking for advice on how to cook... Aren't these all vegetarian?"

Chen Yan fell in love with her:

"If this is a vegetarian table and I eat the whole table, do you dare to bet on me?"

"Come on, don't leave it here to eat or drink."

Zeng Xiaoqi didn't want to make a bet with her. She looked at the time and saw that it was almost dinner time, so she said:

"Let's go to the store and discuss it while eating. By the way, let's see if the dishes on the table are meat or vegetarian... If they are all vegetarian, then we can produce several similar programs later."

Last weekend Xie Baomin visited a vegetarian restaurant with a per capita price of RMB 2,000, and netizens responded fiercely.

If the table prepared by Lin Xu is imitation meat dishes, then several programs will be released in succession to show netizens the true appearance of these imitation meat dishes.

Vegetarian dishes are served in restaurants that cost one or two thousand per person. Although I enjoy the elegance of the entire environment and the exquisiteness of the dishes, it is still expensive.

So in that program, there was a continuous barrage of IQ tax.

Since it is an IQ tax, I will cut it open and show it to netizens. Everyone can draw their own conclusions as to whether it is worth tasting.

Chen Yan tidied up her desk and left after get off work with Zeng Xiaoqi.

In the store, the tasting session began, but Shen Jiayue held up her chopsticks and didn't know which dish to start with.

Every dish on the table was exquisitely presented. Tasting it hastily would destroy the overall beauty, and she couldn't bear to destroy it with her chopsticks.

After much deliberation, she finally tasted the vegetarian pork belly on the table.

When you pick up a piece of pork belly that is red on the outside and tender on the inside and put it into your mouth, the first thing you feel is the plump texture and rich aroma of the braised soup.

Chewing gently, you can clearly feel the tendons and toughness on the outside of the pork belly, which has the same texture as real pork belly.

Bite the outer skin and taste the tender belly meat inside.

Compared with real pork belly, the taste of these belly meats is slightly worse and the flexibility is not enough. Apart from this slight flaw, the other parts are no different from real pork belly.

As for the alkaline water smeared between the tofu skins during production, it is integrated with the marinade, and there is no alkaline taste at all.

"It's delicious. I didn't expect the pork belly made from tofu skin to be so similar to the real thing."

There was surprise on her face, and she kept sighing about the charm of cooking.

Lin Xu said:

"If you are more particular about it, you will put several layers of oily soybean skin inside the tofu skin, which will make it more flexible and the taste will be closer to that of pork belly."

The flexibility of pork belly is not only due to the delicate and tender meat, but also the most important thing is the fascia inside, which gives the pork belly a richer taste.

After Shen Jiayue finished eating, she took another spoonful of crab meat and tasted it, her eyes filled with surprise again:

"Wow, this is no different from crab noodles. Give me a bowl of noodles and I can mix it up and eat it all."

After the mashed potatoes are fried, they will become slightly sandy and taste very similar to crab roe.

When the carrot puree is stir-fried, it will automatically clump together, and it tastes like large pieces of crab roe and crab paste.

With such a taste and the appearance of red mixed with white, it is really no different from crab noodles.

"I think we can have a vegetarian crab noodle dish in our store, so that people who want to try crab noodle, or people who are allergic to crab, can experience the feeling of eating bald butter bibimbap."

Butter bibimbap is a famous dish in the Yangtze River Delta region and is very expensive, with a serving costing several hundred yuan.

Although many people admire this delicacy, not everyone can afford it.

Therefore, there are many substitutes for this delicacy, such as this vegetarian crab noodle dish, and fried crab with separate egg yolk and egg white, etc., all to replace expensive crabs.

Shen Jiayue's words aroused Lin Xu's interest. He thought about it and said:

"This is a good idea. It's been a long time since we introduced new hand-made toppings. Let's introduce a new one for a limited time later so that customers can try it. If the sales are good, we will officially launch the new one."

After the tasting is over, the shooting is officially over.

Shen Jiayue actually wanted to try the pork elbow and Dongpo meat, but thinking that everyone would have to eat it later, it was not suitable for her to eat between them at the moment, nor was it suitable for people in the store to take pictures.

After turning off the camera, Lin Xu said:

"Bring all these dishes out and let Wei Gan choose which dish he wants to learn."

This kind of imitation meat dish is indeed a way to satisfy the craving for the elderly who cannot eat meat, but it cannot be eaten frequently. After all, these kinds of dishes are basically high in oil, fat and carbohydrates, and eating too much is not good for the body.

According to Lin Xu's idea, the most suitable thing for Wei Qian is vegetarian lard. Using vegetarian lard for cooking can make the vegetables have a bit more of the unique plumpness of lard.

It really tastes no different than lard stir-fry.

As for other dishes, you can try vegetarian crab noodles. Others, such as dongpo pork knuckles, have too high fat content and are not suitable.

The two called a few waiters and brought the dishes on the table to the private room upstairs.

Outside the small kitchen, Xiao Qing, who was helping Yan Lin with official duties, almost had her eyes popping out.

Wow, elbow!

Wow, Dongpo pork!

Wow, abalone in sauce!

Wow, abalone juice with Liao ginseng!

She looked at the dishes one after another with surprise on her face. She had never thought that imitation meat dishes could be imitated to this extent. It was simply a pixel-level imitation.

"Has the receipt from Blue Sky Singapore been sent?"

"Sent"

"What's written on it?"

"Big elbow...oh no, he agrees with our plan."

Xiao Qing was so focused on taking advantage of her that she made mistakes at work.

Yan Lin closed the laptop with a smile:

"Forget it, let's take care of the rest on the plane. Let's eat. The smell penetrates my nostrils and brings out the greedy thing in me."

Xiao Qing said a little embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yan, I shouldn't have been distracted."

"Is there anything wrong with this? Being distracted means that you are really craving for these dishes, and it's not your fault. Come on, come on, eat with me, and send a message to Lele by the way, asking her to come over quickly. It's too late even with green onions. There's nothing left for her."

Xiao Qing: "..."

Are you telling Lele this?

How do you feel about Lele being used as a sounding board?

But complaining was all about complaining, so she still sent a message to Geng Lele, and soon the message came back:

"Come on, come on, on the way. I took a taxi with my godfather. I'll be there soon!"

In the past, when Cui Qingyuan came to eat, he usually walked around, occasionally rode a shared bicycle, and rarely took a taxi.

But today, he had to be separated from his lover for a short time, which made him particularly eager for today's meal.

In the private room, when various dishes were placed on the table, the system prompt sounded in Lin Xu's mind:

"Congratulations to the host for making an all-vegetarian banquet, completing the side mission [Special Table Package], and winning a lottery for a perfect local special banquet. Do you want to draw a lottery now?"

Hoho, finally done.

Ever since the last clear soup banquet was made, Lin Xu knew the wonderful use of private rooms.

Placing a table in a small kitchen will not complete the task, but placing it in a private room, the system will default to a private table, which means the task has been completed.

The task is finally completed. If I go back and cook two more Northeastern dishes, the task of high-end Northeastern cuisine will also be completed.

In this way, we can fully deal with the two main tasks in Yinzhou.

One is to help the racecourse become famous, and the other is to increase the special dishes of the restaurant. They are both difficult, but also quite challenging.

When I went back this time, Lin Xu's role was the same as Dundun's, purely as a mascot, because he didn't understand the opening process, and he was only responsible for dressing up handsomely and taking photos with various guests.

"Ah ha, Yan Bao, look quickly. This table is full of vegetarian dishes. Isn't it surprising?"

Chen Yan and Zeng Xiaoqi came upstairs and couldn't take their eyes away when they saw the table full of dishes.

Hey, these dishes look very tempting.

The key thing is that these are all vegetarian dishes... It feels like my three views have been impacted.

Zeng Xiaoqi touched Chen Yan with her elbow:

"What were you talking about before you came here? If this was a vegetarian dish, would you eat the table?"

Chen Yan said haha:

"Why do you always like to tell stories about old millet and rotten sesame seeds? Ahem... The company just planned to film a few episodes of imitating meat dishes, but I didn't expect my brother-in-law to make such a big table. Don't look at Xiao Qiqi, hurry up Try it and see which dish is suitable for the company’s filming.”

Zeng Xiaoqi took a casual look and directly selected several elegant-looking dishes such as vegetarian sea cucumber, vegetarian abalone, vegetarian saury, sweet and sour vegetarian tenderloin, and squirrel vegetarian mandarin fish.

She said:

"These types of images are more deceptive and will definitely cause a sensation if photographed."

Dongpo Pork is actually pretty good, but after all, it’s a dish that’s been cooked badly all over the internet, so there’s no need to take pictures of it. Relatively speaking, the unpopular dishes are more eye-catching.

Just as he was talking, Cui Qingyuan and Geng Lele arrived.

"Eat, eat, I'm starving from the smell."

Everyone sat down and started eating. Lin Xu originally wanted to go downstairs to draw a lottery, but since everyone had already started eating, he sat down with a bowl of rice.

It's not too late to go down to the lottery after you're full, just in time to be more relaxed.

He tasted the dishes on the table and found that the vegetarian sea cucumber was cooked well. It was made by chopping the fungus and mixing the lotus root starch into the shape of a sea cucumber, then frying it in a pan.

After frying, cut the bottom of the sea cucumber vertically to make it more similar to real sea cucumbers.

In fact, the imitation meat dish comes with a sea cucumber mold, which is made of silicone and can make the ingredients exactly the same as real sea cucumbers.

I was in a hurry today and had no preparation, otherwise I would definitely make the plain sea cucumber look even better.

Vegetarian abalone is actually quite simple. Just use the cross pattern knife commonly used for abalone on the mushrooms. However, if you use mushrooms alone, the taste will not be interesting, so now it is usually made with a mixture of egg yolk, chopped fungus, chopped mushrooms and lotus root starch.

The abalone must be shaped first and then processed and cooked.

Finally, pour a spoonful of thick vegetarian abalone sauce, and the whole dish is done.

It is not difficult to make vegetarian abalone juice. First, boil vegetables into vegetarian soup stock, then add vegetarian lard, water starch, and dark soy sauce for coloring, flavoring, and thickening.

Made this way, it’s exactly the same as the abalone sauce that is a must-have for high-end Cantonese cuisine.

Spoon a spoonful of it on the cooked abalone, and it really feels like eating abalone in a high-end restaurant.

"It's delicious. What an unexpected meal today."

Cui Qingyuan originally came to see his lover off, but as soon as he sat down, he became addicted to the ocean of delicious food and forgot all the love words he had originally prepared.

But even if he said it now, Yan Lin wouldn't care to listen.

At this time, the boss was sighing at the deliciousness of the vegetarian saury.

The preparation of this dish is relatively complicated. First, cut the fried bean skin into the elongated shape of saury, and then apply the fish paste made with mushrooms and other ingredients.

Finally, cover it with a piece of oily bean skin, and use the adhesiveness of water starch to firmly stick the oily bean skin together.

The prepared saury is fried in vegetarian lard. After frying, some fried soybean skin is placed on it and decorated to look like fins. The whole saury is officially completed.

After the fried bean skin is fried in vegetarian lard, the texture and taste are similar to real fried fish.

Yan Lin sighed while eating:

"I still remember that before fishing was banned, a small saury in a restaurant cost several thousand yuan, which was a bit higher than the per capita salary at that time... Relatively speaking, vegetarian saury is still a good deal."

Chen Yan tasted the sweet and sour pork and then the crispy pork bowl, and asked curiously:

"Isn't this really meat? It feels exactly like eating meat."

"No, Yan Bao. These are all made of gluten. I feel like I was taught a magic lesson by the chef Xu Bao today. The dishes on the table are all made of the most common ingredients, but they are all made to be more sophisticated." stand up."

It would be fine if they only had roast duck, pork, pork belly, etc., but sea cucumber, abalone, shark fin, and bird's nest are all available. Regardless of the health factor, these dishes taste really delicious.

Just when everyone was enjoying their meal, Geng Lele said:

"The calories of these dishes are much higher than those of meat dishes... Take this vegetarian shrimp dish as an example. The calories of real shrimps are 48 kilocalories, but this vegetarian version is at least more than 500 kilocalories... Tsk tsk, you guys are so Eat, don’t you plan to lose weight?”

When she poured the cold water on her, not only Chen Yan looked stupid, but even Yan Lin couldn't believe it:

"Really? Are the calories so high?"

Everyone looked at Lin Xu, wanting to hear his conclusion.

"Lele is right. The calories in these dishes are indeed high. Take this vegetarian shrimp for example. It uses yam as the main ingredient, and puts starch into it, and condenses it into a jelly shape, then carves it into shrimp, and finally uses vegetarian food. Stir-fried with lard and vegetarian stock...it's definitely a bit high in calories."

Chen Yan originally wanted to experience the joy of eating vegetarian and meatless dishes, but she didn't expect it to be a beautiful trap, so she couldn't help but said to Zeng Xiaoqi:

"While the filming of the state banquet documentary hasn't started yet, hurry up and shoot a few videos of imitation meat dishes to expose the ugly faces of those businesses... The people who promote this kind of food have a screw up in their brains!"

I don’t object to you using vegetarian dishes to make money, but if you say that eating this kind of vegetarian food is healthier and help you lose weight, and you use this to trick people into eating more, then don’t blame me for being rude.

Geng Lele said:

"There has long been a law in nature that herbivores, such as hippos and elephants, are fatter. On the contrary, they are carnivores. There are very few fat animals. Even if they are fat, it is caused by improper feeding in zoos."

Chen Yan put down her chopsticks angrily and decided to eat the vegetable salad instead.

Shen Jiayue said with a smile:

"Don't be angry, Yan Bao. I'll buy some buckwheat noodles later and cook you a fat-reducing meal myself, so that you can experience the joy of eating crab noodles."

Humph, isn't it just mashed potatoes and stir-fried mashed carrots? It's not that difficult and can definitely be made easily.

Chen Yan was about to object, but she tasted the vegetarian crab powder again and said:

"Okay, I'll wait and put in more vegetables then."

The crab powder tastes good, and the glycemic index of the buckwheat noodles is quite low. This combination is indeed good for the body, and is much better than the unhealthy vegetarian dishes on the table.

Everyone continued to eat, but a few women obviously lost their energy.

Food calories have always been a sharp sword hanging over the heads of people who love beauty. They need to sound the alarm in order to maintain a good figure for a long time.

Lin Xu was still thinking about the lottery at this moment. He ate a bowl of rice in a hurry, then went to the kitchen and went downstairs carrying meat for Dundun.

My dear son, get up and get to work!
