Chapter 707 Shi Wenqing: Pregnant Women Can Touch Small Animals! Dundun: Is My Work All in Vain? 【Please Subscribe】

"Xubao, is the grape fish easy to make?"

When Shen Jiayue saw Lin Xu walking in with some herring, she knew that she was about to start making grape fish, so she quickly came over to observe and learn.

Even if you don’t know how to do it, at least remember one or two steps.

If you say it when you go back and take the video, won't you be able to continue pretending to be an expert?

Lin Xu quickly took the fish out of the bag and put it in the pool. Then he placed a chopping board for butchering live fish on the edge of the pool and said while working:

"The difficulty of grape fish is not high. The whole process is still the same as that of sweet and sour fish. It is first slaughtered and knifed, then fried in flour, and finally poured with juice. Overall, it is better than lychee fish, squirrel fish, and green pearl fish. The dishes are relatively simple.”

Easier than lychee fish?

When Shen Jiayue heard this, she immediately became interested:

"Then what can I do?"

"Forget it. It's easy to have accidents if you go through the frying step. There's no need to fight with this kind of dish."

Lin Xu swiftly stabbed the herring in the middle of the pectoral fin, stabbing the heart steadily, and red blood immediately flowed out.

Shen Jiayue, who wanted to cook great food, naturally refused to give up.

She came over and teased the few remaining herrings in the pool with her hands, and asked:

"Can I make sweet and sour carp? Is this the easiest thing?"

Lin Xu patted the fish's body with the back of his knife and held the fish's tail in his other hand, trying to make the bloodletting as thorough as possible:

"Sweet and sour carp seems simple, but the frying process is actually more dangerous. You need to hold the fish tail and scoop out the hot oil in the pot for frying, and then put it into the pot after it is set."

Shen Jiayue thought about the scene for a while, the rolling oil pan, the occasionally twitching fish tail, and the continuous action of scooping hot oil with a spoon...it felt like the hot oil would suddenly pour onto her hands.

She thought for a moment:

"How about I just throw the fish into the frying pan?"

"That way the flower knife on the fish is not opened, but closed. The fried carp will look like a submarine. It doesn't look good, and it doesn't taste good... Do you really want to experience it?"

"Yes, Yan Bao has a baby, I want to celebrate."

Lin Xu thought for a while and said:

"I'll cut some fish fillets and marinate them later, and I'll teach you how to make a sweet and sour fish fillet. It's simple and hassle-free, and it looks good."

Whole fish dishes are more difficult, because on the basis of ensuring delicious food, you also have to take into account the presentation.

But dishes such as fish fillets and diced fish are relatively simple.

Use chopsticks to lower the marinated fish fillets into the oil pan one by one, fry them until they float, take them out, fry them again when the oil temperature rises, and then you can take them out of the pan and put them on a plate.

Then pour on the sweet and sour sauce, and the whole dish is completed.

Compared with whole fish, this method is not only much more convenient, but also easier to master.

As for the presentation, it is also simple. The fish fillets are piled in the middle of the plate, and the fish heads and tails are fried separately.

When Shen Jiayue heard this, her beautiful big eyes suddenly lit up:

"Wow, there is such a thing. Teach me, teach me, you are such a shameless Xu Bao, you want to hide your secrets from me, please let me kiss you a few times, or I won't be done with you anymore!"

When this girl thinks about Chen Yan coming back later and serving the sweet and sour fish fillets she made, it will definitely be an interesting scene.

Hum hum, my county magistrate not only wants to kill people, but also wants to kill people!

Lin Xu picked up one fish and then started to butcher the next one.

The internal organs of the herring were not thrown away. They will be collected together later to make a sauce-braised fish offal that Mrs. Shen likes to eat.

Then cut off the tails of two of the fish and make them into boiled water. The remaining fish meat is grape fish and sweet and sour fish fillets.

Good things come in pairs, so the sour and sweet sweet and sour dishes are also made into two dishes.

At the entrance of the store, Luo Jiayao drove a Lexus and slowly parked in the parking space.

Cousin Wenqing in the back seat whispered:

"Press the brakes gently, my daughter just fell asleep... She was making a fuss when she first got in the car, but she fell asleep within five minutes. Next time she makes a fuss in the middle of the night and drives around, I don't believe she can't fix it."

Recently, their daughter slept upside down, causing Shi Wenqing and his wife to have extremely irregular schedules.

Luo Jiayao yawned:

"You have to let her play as much as possible during the day, otherwise she will have enough sleep during the day and cause trouble again at night."

Shi Wenqing also knew this, but the baby in his arms was sleeping soundly, with such a peckish look on his face that he really couldn't bear to wake her up.

After the car stopped, Luo Jiayao pushed the door and got out, then opened the side door, first took a piece of clothing to cover his daughter, and then took it from Shi Wenqing's arms.

Shi Wenqing got out of the car and picked up a bag on the seat next to him. Inside was his daughter's milk bottle, milk powder, baby wipes, bibs, diapers and other items.

All are necessary for babies.

The couple walked into the store and reached out to take off the clothes covering the baby's head. Just as they were about to go upstairs, Shu Yun greeted them:

"Welcome cousin Wenqing to the store. You came just in time. I'll teach Mr. Chen some experience later."

"Mr. Chen? Which Mr. Chen?"

Shi Wenqing was a little surprised and didn't understand what this meant.

Shu Yun said:

"Chen Yan just found out that she is pregnant and is a little nervous. It just so happens that you, a new mother, are here. Please try your best to enlighten her so as not to be nervous..."

"Sister Yan is pregnant?"

Shi Wenqing's face was full of surprises. He remembered that when Yueyue got married, Sister Yan said that she was not going to have a child soon. Who knew that as soon as she said that, she became pregnant.

Shu Yun smiled and said:

"She has been losing weight recently, and her menstrual period has been delayed in the past two days. I thought it was caused by losing weight. Today I went to the Union International Department for a check-up. When I was waiting for the results, I checked online. I suspected cervical cancer and uterine fibroids... Anyway, that's it. Scare yourself, you are a doctor, let’s talk about her later.”

Although they usually tease each other, when the good sisters got pregnant, Shu Yun immediately sought help from cousin Wenqing.

Shi Wenqing graduated from Peking University Medical School and had just experienced pregnancy, childbirth and taking care of a baby. He has rich experience in this field. Upon hearing Shu Yun's request, he immediately said:

"Okay, I will give her some guidance when I see her later. She will be a little nervous and at a loss when she first gets pregnant. This is normal. I was the same way at the time."

After chatting for a while, Shu Yun looked at the sleeping baby and said with a smile:

"The boss lady said this morning that she would let Dundun play with the baby when you come. Now it seems that Dundun won't be able to play games with her sister."

Shi Wenqing looked around:

"Where is Dundun? Where has this clever little ghost gone?"

Shu Yun pointed upstairs:

"The old lady carried the whole family's baby upstairs, and everyone who saw her held her in her arms and never let go."

"I'm going to give you a hug too, and let Dundun get to know my sister by the way."

Shi Wenqing and Luo Jiayao came upstairs with the baby in their arms. Dundun, who was snoring in the old lady's arms, opened his eyes and ran over immediately.

My sister is here, my sister!

"Dundun, do you miss your aunt?"

Shi Wenqing bent down and held Dundun in his arms, and said hello with a smile. However, Dundun now only wanted to see the human cub. He had seen it once during the Spring Festival. His sister was sleeping soundly at that time, and she was still sleeping now.

When the old lady saw Wen Qing, she came over to say hello and couldn't help but say:

"Wenqing, when you take the child with you, it's best not to touch Dundun, lest it be bad for the baby."

Shi Wenqing smiled and shook his head:

"No grandma, normal cats don't carry viruses and parasites that are harmful to humans. In the past, you couldn't keep cats if you were pregnant. In fact, there is no problem."

As a medical student and a new mother, I know this aspect very well.

However, when she said this, Dundun in her arms became unhappy.

I tried so hard to get my aunt pregnant with a baby just to prevent her from bullying me, but now I’m actually saying that pregnant people can touch cats... Isn’t this work in vain?

Xiao Dundun was very angry, but when she turned around and saw the little baby in Luo Jiayao's arms, her heart immediately warmed up.

I think it would be nice to have a child to take care of.

Well, I’ll just reluctantly be the leader of the next generation.

From now on, no matter Chen Yan's children, Shen Jiayue's children, or Chen Yuanyuan's children, they will all be younger than Dundun and they will all be younger siblings.

In the kitchen, Lin Xu cut up the fish tails and marinated them.

Then cut the flesh of two of the fish into fillets and make the remaining two fish.

"Wow, there's a lot of meat here. Are they all made into sweet and sour fish fillets? Xubao?"

Shen Jiayue came over curiously, looking a little confused at the prepared dishes.

Lin Xu pointed to the broken fish bones and useless fish heads and said:

"I will make a boiled fish dish later. I will use these fish bones and heads to avoid wasting it. Just make a large portion of the sweet and sour fish fillets. If there is too much, you may not be able to finish it."

"What about grape fish? If you cook two fish together, is that a lot?"

Lin Xu smiled:

"Grape fish is picky about ingredients. You can't use fish tail or belly. You can only use relatively thick meat on both sides of the fish spine. So it seems like a big fish, but there are not many places where it can be used."

Although grape fish requires more than five kilograms of herring, the actual amount used is not much. It is the essence of the fish, and the rest can be used for other dishes.

For example, Lin Xu plans to cook fish belly and yuba together to make fish belly and yuba stew.

Shen Jiayue asked:

"Why not use the belly part? I think the meat here is the most delicious. It is soft and slippery, and is more delicious than the meat on the back."

Lin Xu smiled:

"Grape fish requires the grapes to be in a radial shape, so that they are close to the shape of grapes. The belly part of the fish is too soft and cannot be branched. Even if it is fried, it is soft and doesn't look like grapes, so it needs to be cut off."

Cut the fish fillets and marinate them in onion, ginger, salt water and light soy sauce. This kind of batter-fried fish is not suitable for adding cooking wine, because after the batter is wrapped, the flavor of the cooking wine will not easily come out, which will affect the final taste.

After marinating, marinate the ingredients for boiled fish, and prepare the fish heads and tails for decoration when placing the sweet and sour fish fillets on the plate.

When everything was ready, he brought over the remaining herring meat, cut off the soft belly first, then placed the fish meat on the chopping board and began to cut the cutter on the grape fish.

In order to make the fish look more like grapes in appearance, the fish should be cut according to the appearance of grape bunches.

That is, there are more grapes on the top and fewer grapes on the bottom. The grapes on the top are bigger and the grapes on the bottom are smaller.

Such requirements lead to the fact that during the process of changing the knife, the distance between the knife edges must always change, which is also a difficulty in the entire production process of grape fish.

As long as the presentation is in place, other aspects will be easier.

With the skin of the fish facing down, use a kitchen knife to cut the fish diagonally. The spacing will be 2.5cm at the beginning, and the spacing will become shorter towards the tail of the fish.

When reaching the bottom, the distance even shortens to one centimeter.

After cutting in this step, change the direction and cut at a 90-degree angle to the previous cutting edge, so that the cuts on the fish form slanted squares.

Shen Jiayue was currently taking pictures of the pig's feet and ginger that were still being stewed. She turned her face and saw Lin Xu cutting it diagonally, and asked curiously:

"I see on the internet that the knife is done straight up, why are you doing it diagonally?"

Lin Xu said while cutting:

"Because normal grapes are staggered one by one, not straight. And if they are slanted like this, when they are wrapped in bread crumbs, they will visually look closer to a circle. If they are straight, they will look like small squares if they are wrapped in bread crumbs. .”

The knife for grape fish needs to be cut close to the skin. The deeper the knife edge, the more bread crumbs can be wrapped in it, so that the round shape can be closer to the grape.

"I feel like this is a fake. Would it be okay if I cut the fish into small balls and then put them on the plate?"

Shen Jiayue's diners thought of opportunism.

As long as this method works, she can start with a ball digger and dig out small balls one by one. This can save a lot of trouble.

Lin Xu shook his head:

"It's okay to do this for Western food, but if you do it for Chinese food, you will be laughed at by your peers. Also, raw fish is in the shape of a ball, but after frying, it is not necessarily the same...Fish, like pork, will shrink."

Shen Jiayue didn't expect that her plan would go bankrupt before it was implemented, and she pouted helplessly:

"That's great..."

Lin Xu added condiments such as onion and ginger salt water, pepper water, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce to the fish for marinating.

Dark soy sauce is added to color the fish, which will be closer to the color of grapes after frying.

After marinating the fish, he washed his hands, looked at the stewed pig's feet and ginger in the pot and said:

"It feels like it's almost done. Let's take a photo of this dish first. After taking the photo, we'll start making the grape fish."

"Oh, okay, I'll get ready."

The young couple was busy when Chen Yan walked in holding her waist:

"You are going to be elders, so prepare the red envelopes, but you can't let my children suffer."

Shen Jiayue looked at her like a fool:

"Are you too dramatic? I haven't been holding on to my waist for ten days. No one who is nine months pregnant and about to give birth can walk like you..."

Chen Yan immediately put down her hands and said helplessly:

"My parents were so nervous that they even covered my head when they got out of the car, worried that I would catch the cold... I figured out that those who suffer from depression during pregnancy are mostly caused by this kind of excessive concern."

Shen Jiayue was anxious to take a video, waved to her and said:

"Young lielie, hurry up and help us take the photo. We need to take pictures of the cooking and tasting of the pig's feet and ginger. Don't waste your time. I'll make grape fish for you after I finish filming this."

Chen Yan originally wanted to complain to her cousin and brother-in-law and show off how she felt after being pregnant. When she heard that there was grape fish to eat, she immediately returned to her previous lively style:

"Come on, let me see how pig's feet and ginger are, if they are suitable for a beautiful girl like me who gets married early and gets pregnant early."

"It's not suitable. The skin of pig's feet is not as thick-skinned as yours."

"Gungun, I know you can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth."

The two sisters finished their bickering and started recording Pig Knuckle Ginger.

Lin Xu said to the camera:

"The pig's trotters and ginger have been simmered for two hours and are almost ready to eat. I will serve them first and let the food expert next to me taste them to see if they are satisfied."

Shen Jiayue said with a smile:

"Then I will reluctantly give you some advice."

Lin Xu put the heat-insulating mat on the workbench, turned off the fire on the stove, then put the casserole on the workbench with a rag, and opened the lid of the casserole.

As soon as I opened it, a meaty aroma mixed with a strong ginger flavor wafted out of the pot.

Shen Jiayue took a sip and confirmed that it was the smell she liked.

Before getting married, I could not avoid the smell of ginger, but after getting married, I became obsessed with it. This may be the power of love.

When the steam dissipated, she saw that the pig's trotters, eggs, turmeric and even the elbows in the pot had all turned black. The sweet vinegar that had been poured in before had also become very viscous, like freshly boiled black syrup. .

The casserole has good heat retention. The soup is still sizzling at this moment, and the pig's trotters and elbow meat are also trembling. Many bones have been exposed. It is obvious that the meat has been deboned.

Under normal circumstances, pig's trotters stewed in water will never reach this level.

But the pig's trotters and ginger are stewed in sweet vinegar. The vinegar itself has the effect of softening the meat. Adding such a large amount without adding a drop of water, the cooking effect is naturally extraordinary.

"Wow, the color is so beautiful and it looks delicious."

Shen Jiayue said with some surprise, becoming even more admiring for this delicious dish.

Chen Yan, who came over to take a close-up, couldn't help but swallow her saliva, feeling that the taste was indeed very tempting.

Normally, the baby Yan who is thinking about losing weight would naturally not dare to eat such high-sugar and high-fat food. But now that she is pregnant, she can no longer just think about herself, she has to think about her baby.

Failure to keep up with nutrition is very detrimental to the development of the fetus.

But there should be no overnutrition. If the fetus is too fat, it will have to be delivered by caesarean section.

After the close-up shooting, Lin Xu took a small wooden spoon and took two pieces of pig's trotters, one elbow meat, one piece of turmeric, and one egg from the pot. He also scooped out a little thick soup and handed it to Shen Jiayue:

"Taste it and see if there's anything you need to improve."

"Yes! You didn't call me baby~~~~~"

Chen Yan:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

It’s already this time, can you please stop being such a jerk and finish filming quickly so I can have a taste!

Shen Jiayue held the bowl and smelled it first, then picked up a piece of pig's trotters, blew on it, and then put it into her mouth for a taste.

The moment you enter the mouth, the sweetness, slight sourness and strong ginger flavor rush into your mouth. It feels like eating braised pig's trotters with ginger candy.

It's a little weird, but it's really delicious.

Especially the pig's trotters, which are soft and yet chewy. Paired with the spicy syrup, it's a real pleasure to eat!

"Wow, it's super delicious, very delicious, sweet and spicy. I feel like my skin has improved as soon as I took one bite."

Lin Xu smiled:

"Don't be so exaggerated. Netizens thought I put some contraband when they saw it."

He took a piece of ginger and took a bite. He felt that turmeric was indeed different from ginger, and it actually didn't taste bad.

It’s no wonder that Cantonese people put so much ginger in making pork trotters and ginger. The spiciness is all in the soup. The texture and taste of turmeric are actually much better.

The young couple started eating in front of the camera and even forgot to say a word.

Chen Yan, who was immersed in the joy of pregnancy, quit immediately when she saw it.

Okay, on my first day as an expectant mother, you just treat me like a bull and a horse, right? Strike, strike, quit!

She said:

"No more pictures, no more pictures, I'm so jealous."

After saying that, he turned off the camera, rushed to the workbench, picked up the egg in Shen Jiayue's bowl with chopsticks, and ate it happily...
