Chapter 709 Dundun and His Little Cousin Hold Hands for the First Time! Pork Trotters and Ginger Can Actually Be Mixed with Noodles? 【Please Subscribe】

"Oh, this grape fish is so delicious!"

In the banquet hall, Mrs. Shen took a bite of the grape fish on the table and was immediately fascinated by the taste.

The fish is crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside, and has the taste of pickled onion and ginger, but the most important thing is the layer of juice on the outside, which has a moist texture and is full of the taste of grapes.

When you eat it, it really feels like eating a grape.

Moreover, the purple-red appearance not only enhances the appearance, but also makes this fish look very close to the appearance of real grapes, which is very satisfying from a visual perspective.

Shi Wenqing took a bite, his face full of shock and surprise:

"Isn't this fish so delicious? I was thinking that if I come here today, I can try the watercress fish that Xiaoxu made during the Spring Festival. I didn't expect that this fish with grapes is so delicious. It's so delicious. I have to work hard to save money. Buying an apartment here on Yingchun Street is worth it even if it’s not for the school district but just for the food here!”

You wouldn't know it until you go out, but your cousin-in-law's cooking skills are actually so good. It simply refreshes your understanding of cooking.

It's a pity that the baby in my arms can't eat it and misses out on the delicious food.

I can only let her come to her aunt's house for meals when she grows up to make up for the regret of not being able to eat delicious food now.

Shen Jiayue beside him said dissatisfiedly:

"You only praise others but not me, right? Isn't the sweet and sour fish fillet I made delicious?"

Humph, this is my first time making sweet and sour dishes. Is it worth my efforts if I don’t praise it?

Shi Wenqing said quickly:

"It's delicious. I'm almost done with it. But I have a little immature suggestion... Yueyue, can you make the fish fillet into a dish like Guobao Pork? I like it very much, but it's a pity. It’s rare to get fish fillet in pot dumplings in Beijing.”

Hey, cousin Wenqing is so confident in my craftsmanship.

But since such a request was made, as the executive chef of Linji Food, he naturally had to agree.

Shen Jiayue said with a smile:

"No problem, it's just fish fillet wrapped in a pot. I'll do some research and make it for you."

The hotpot pork slices Xubao can come out easily, so it should be no problem to change the meat slices to fish slices, right?

While the two were talking, Dundun in Shen Jiayue's arms poked his head to observe the human baby in Shi Wenqing's arms. At this time, the baby had already woken up and was looking at Dundun.

One person and one cat looked at each other for a while, then Dundun stretched out his paw.

Soon, the baby also stretched out his chubby little hand and patted Dundun's paw.

The child, who was a few months old, was still not sure about the movements of her arms, but when she touched Dundun's furry paws, she giggled.

Dundun was also very excited, wagging her tail desperately.

Then he crawled along Shen Jiayue's thighs to the little girl, stretched out his round head, and let the pretty little girl in front of him touch her at will.

In the past, every time Chen Yan rubbed Badundun in an "angry way", the little guy would get so angry that he would even fight back.

But now, she is willing to let the baby rub her.

When the small hands touched its head, its tail swayed happily, looking like it was enjoying itself.

Shen Jiayue lowered her head and saw this scene, thinking that this little guy Dundun was bullying her sister. Unexpectedly, she was actually playing a game with her sister, so she couldn't help but say:

"Dundun, you like your sister, right? Then can mommy give you a sister later?"

When Dundun heard this, he raised his head and called out, and started playing with the little girl again.

It's said to be playing, but actually it's being played.

But the little guy was willing to do so without any dissatisfaction at all, which made Chen Yan who was watching on the side very unhappy:

“都说猫上尊老下爱幼，就对中间的往死里揍，现在看来还真是这样，也不知道我孩子出生了，小家伙会不会这么温柔。”

Zeng Xiaoqi said:

"Don't worry, it will definitely happen. Maybe then brother-in-law Ren will go to work and you will be busy with the company, and Dundun will have to be the nanny to look after your children."

When Dundun heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

I have never played alone with a human cub. If I can really experience the feeling of raising a child alone, then my work will be considered in vain.

However, when Chen Yan thought of that scene, she shook her head and said:

"Come on, I'm worried that by the time I get off work, my child will have been abducted by Dundun."

Shen Jiayue took a bite of the steamed chicken on the table:

"My Dundun wouldn't be like this, but you bully us every time you see us. You don't act like an elder at all."

While the two were bickering, Shen Guofu summoned the drinkers at the table next to them. Everyone carefully tasted the high-end version of Guojiao 1573 worth more than 300 yuan, and felt that the taste was indeed better than the ordinary 1573.

Chen Yuejin was about to become a grandfather. He touched Shen Guofu with his wine glass, then turned his face and looked around:

"Where's Xiaoxu? Why haven't you come yet? You've already started a family and started a business. You have to participate in occasions like this in the future... Guofu, I'm going to be a grandpa soon, so you have to hurry up."

Lao Shen knew that his brother-in-law was drunk and said with a smile:

"It sounds like I'm not my grandfather. Dundun is my grandson. No matter how many children Xiaoxu and Yueyue have in the future, Dundun will be the boss of the next generation."

The little baby is loved by the whole family, so naturally he needs to confirm his status.

When Dundun, who was not far away, heard this, his eyes were filled with tenderness.

No matter how unruly a kitten is, it can't resist a family like this!

Lao Shen held the wine glass and touched it with Chen Yuejin, and then said:

"I just bought two boxes of imported cigars. I can't go to work in the afternoon anyway. Why don't we go try them together?"

Chen Yuejin waved his hand:

"I have already quit smoking. Today I learned that Xiaoyan is pregnant, so I will quit smoking completely, including cigars, so that I won't be disgusted with the smell of cigarettes when my child is born."

After speaking, he pointed to the wine glass again:

"I have to drink less in the future. I won't drink unless it's a major wedding. I need to exercise. I have to take my grandson out to play in the future."

Tsk tsk tsk, I’m so excited just after I found out I’m pregnant, my brother-in-law is really a sweetheart.

Lao Shen held the wine glass and touched it with Ren Chongmo again:

"Professor Ren is going to be a grandfather. How do you feel now?"

"I'm very excited. My Ren family finally has a child. I would like to thank my in-laws for not despising our Ren family's poor family, rotten scholars and useless people. I'll do it. You can do whatever you want."

Ren Chongmo usually drinks alcohol with restraint.

But today, I couldn't restrain myself anymore, and I was even happier than the last time I got engaged.

For scholars, having a descendant is a big deal. If you put it aside, you have to rush to the ancestral hall to burn incense and tell your ancestors to bless your grandson for a smooth birth.

Now that there is no ancestral hall, I can only express my excitement through the things in the cup.

In the kitchen, Lin Xu cut the tenderloin into slices, then made a cross knife on one side of the meat, then cut it into triangular slices, then marinated it with onion, ginger, salt water and pepper water.

In fact, the methods of lychee meat and lychee fish are very similar. They are sliced ​​first and then crisscrossed.

Normally, it is best to cut lychee meat into small round slices. This will make the lychee balls closer to the appearance of real lychees, but this will lead to a waste of ingredients, so Lin Xu followed the usual practice and cut it into triangular slices.

While marinating the meat slices, he sent the cooked fish belly pot outside and asked the waiter to deliver it to the banquet hall upstairs. Then he made the braised fish offal and boiled fish fillet.

After finishing this work, the fish is almost marinated.

He picked out the meat slices, battered them and deep-fried them. Then he made some sweet and sour sauce in the pot. He poured the meat into the pot and stir-fried it a few times to coat the meat with the ruddy sweet and sour sauce. He took it out of the pot and put it on a plate.

The biggest difficulty in this dish is to change the knife. Apart from changing the knife, it is just like the grape fish. You only need to adjust the sweet and sour sauce. For Lin Xu, there is basically no threshold for difficulty.

When the lychee meat was ready, Lin Xu put it into two plates and asked the waiter to take it to the banquet hall.

He hasn't eaten yet, and if he goes upstairs now, he will most likely be dragged to drink by his father-in-law and the others.

In order to avoid drinking on an empty stomach, Lin Xu went to the big kitchen to look for something to eat.

Zhuang Yizhou was busy cooking at the moment. When he saw Lin Xu coming in, he asked proactively:

"Boss, everyone has eaten the pig's trotters and ginger, and there's still more than half of the pot left. What should I do with these? Reheat them in the afternoon and continue eating?"

If everyone in the store eats it, two large pots of pork trotters and ginger can be eaten.

But quite a few employees couldn't get used to this kind of gingery and sweet food, so there was a lot left.

Lin Xu said:

"The relatives may have to pack some later. If they can finish packing, let them take it away. If there is any leftover, heat it up for dinner and whoever wants to eat can eat it."

"Okay, that's all the arrangements for the afternoon."

Lin Xu opened the casserole and took a look. The pig's feet and ginger inside were still steaming. The dark brown soup exuded a strong ginger flavor. There was also a lot of stewed fat on the surface of the soup. He stirred it a few times with a spoon. I immediately thought of something to order.

When they came to the pastry department, Niu Chuang and Ji Minghui were busy. Lin Xu said:

"Cook me a bowl of hand-made noodles. I'm so busy that I haven't even bothered to have lunch yet."

Upon hearing this, Niu Chuang picked up the rolling pin without saying a word, quickly rolled out the loose dough into dough, and then quickly cut it into noodles with a dough cutter.

He shook it and then lowered it into the noodle pot that was rolling next to it.

After rolling dough all day long, Niu Chuang has now developed muscle inertia.

His skill in making noodles has long been known in the circle, especially since they live in a shared house where all catering professionals live, everyone knows about it.

It is said that a chef of a restaurant who specializes in hand-made noodles went to poach Niu Chuang.

As a result, the price offered was quite different from Niu Chuang's current income. The head chef immediately changed the subject and begged Niu Chuang to introduce him to Linji.

After this incident spread, everyone finally had a clear understanding of Lin Ji's treatment.

Restaurants that originally wanted to recruit people also gave up the idea.

The treatment given is poor, and people don't even take a look at it. After all, they go out to work to earn money, not to alleviate poverty.

However, despite Lin Ji's treatment, the store did not have good business from Lin Ji and was completely unable to make ends meet.

This kind of high-paying model can only be used by restaurants like Linji, which never worry about customers. If other stores dare to play this way, there will only be one end, and that is to close down.

When he got off work two days ago, Qi Siliang asked Niu Chuang a question:

"If another store offers you a high salary, will you go?"

Niu Chuang replied:

"I have been working as a cook for ten years and have seen too many human emotions. It is my boss who treats his employees as human beings... Let's put it this way, as long as the boss doesn't fire me, I, Niu Chuang, will always be at Linji."

Not only are the benefits here good, but there are also five social insurances and one housing fund, and you can pay enough for social security and housing provident funds. If you save money for a few years, you might be able to afford a small house in the capital.

If a chef, or an independent chef, were in another restaurant, who would dare to think about buying a house?

Soon, the noodles in the pot were cooked. Niu Chuang took them out with a large colander, tossed them on the pot a few times, then put them into a large bowl, and casually asked Lin Xu:

"What toppings do you want? I'll serve it for you."

Lin Xu said:

"No, I'll mix the noodles with pork trotters and ginger soup."

Noodles?

Niu Chuang asked curiously:

"Can this be mixed with food?"

"Okay, as long as you don't dislike the taste of ginger, you should all like it."

After Lin Xu finished speaking, he walked out of the pastry department with the bowl in hand, opened the casserole, poured some of the soup from the pig's trotters and ginger into the bowl with a spoon, and added two pieces of pig's trotters and two eggs.

Stir to coat the surface of the noodles with the soup.

The noodles are very hot, which directly brings out the aroma of the soup.

Lin Xu took a big bite and it was indeed delicious.

The spicy taste of ginger and the sweet and sour taste of the soup make the noodles very enjoyable to eat.

Lin Xu felt that the spiciness was not enough, so he added some chopped chili sauce to bring the taste to its peak.

He carried it outside and was about to feast when he saw Shen Jiayue coming down the stairs:

"Xubao, Xubao, dad told you to drink... Huh? What are you eating? I can't tell you, but I secretly prepared something delicious for myself. Humph, did I catch you?"

Lin Xu said:

"I haven't eaten. Drinking on an empty stomach makes me drunk easily, so I asked Niu Chuang to cook some noodles and prepare them for dinner... Why do you look like that? Do you want to try some?"

Shen Jiayue was staring at the noodles in the bowl and swallowing her saliva. When she heard this, she immediately grabbed Lin Xu's bowl and chopsticks, picked up a chopstick and took a bite of the noodles.

When I first took it into my mouth, I felt it tasted a bit strange.

But after eating it, I unconsciously want to take another bite, and then I fall into this strange cycle.

Lin Xu, who was standing next to him, saw that the girl couldn't stop eating, so he simply went to the pastry department and ordered another bowl of noodles, filled the soup again, filled it with two pieces of elbow meat, two eggs, and added two small spoons of chopped chili sauce.

Mix well and start eating again!

When he came outside, Shen Jiayue had already finished the bowl of noodles:

"It's really fun to eat noodles like this, Xu Bao, why can you always make food combinations so delicious?"

This question also made Lin Xu feel strange. He was obviously just a random person, but the food he created was really good.

"Maybe it's because my wife is so beautiful."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiayue immediately smiled sweetly:

"I just like it when you praise me in different ways. When I'm not busy anymore, I'm going to make a pot of pig's feet and ginger myself. Even if it's just for mixing noodles, it's worth it."

Who would have thought that this stuffed noodles would be so delicious, it's like discovering a new world.

Lin Xu sucked a mouthful of elbow meat and took another mouthful of noodles:

"This soup is full of colloids and fats, as well as the spicy taste of sweet, sour and turmeric. It's hard to taste. If you like it, just make it more often in the future. It's not difficult anyway."

"Okay Xu Bao!"

After the young couple finished eating, they came upstairs. The lunch here had come to an end.

Shen Guofu handed a glass of liquor to Lin Xu:

"Let you try the good wine that has been hidden for more than ten years, but you haven't come up yet."

Lin Xu took it and said with a smile:

"I'm a little busy down there, so I can't take care of it."

After speaking, he took a tentative sniff and found that the aroma of the wine was indeed quite strong.

But such a fragrant liquor still leaves a spicy taste in your mouth.

After a sip of wine, Lin Xu sat down, first congratulated his uncles Chen Yuejin and Ren Chongmo, and then clinked glasses with the elders of Ren Jie's family one by one.

As for Ren Jie himself, he is sitting next to Chen Yan like a flower protector, guarding his lover at all times.

"You don't know how delicious the pork trotters and ginger noodle soup is. I have such a small appetite and I'm already full, so I actually ate another big bowl..."

Shen Jiayue vividly talked about the deliciousness of pork trotters and ginger noodles.

Han Shuzhen couldn't help but mock her daughter and said:

"You don't have a big appetite? If the noodles are really delicious, why didn't you serve your grandma a bowl just now?"

Director Han wanted to eat, but was too embarrassed to say it, so he could only blame the old lady.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she saw several waiters filing in, each carrying a tray. On the tray were portions of small bowls of pork trotters and ginger noodles.

Since it is delicious, I naturally want to let my relatives and elders try it.

Shen Jiayue also thoughtfully asked the waiter to bring chili oil and chopped chili sauce.

The way of eating just now was so perfect, so naturally I have to restore it.

Han Shuzhen picked up the bowl, tasted it, nodded and said:

"It's really good. Mom, try it. It's delicious."

Mrs. Shen picked up the bowl and tasted it too.

Shi Wenqing went to the small room next door to feed the baby. Seeing these faces, he was a little surprised:

"Can you still eat like this?"

Luo Jiayao, who had finished drinking, said:

"It's super delicious, especially if you add some chopped chili peppers... If you can't eat spicy food, forget it. The noodles in soup with only pig's feet and ginger are also very enjoyable. It feels even more delicious than the noodles we have in Hangzhou."

Shi Wenqing put the full baby into the stroller, then sat down and tasted the pork trotters and ginger noodles with a bowl, and then he couldn't stop.

The baby in the cradle was lying down and about to sleep when he suddenly saw a big furry face leaning over from the side and immediately started giggling.

Her two chubby little hands were still waving wildly, and Dundun's appearance made her particularly excited.

Seeing that the baby liked her, Dundun tentatively stretched out her paws. The baby became even more excited and made babbling sounds from its mouth.

Shen Jiayue came over, held up her mobile phone to take a picture of the scene, and sent it to her account with a title:

"Dundun and her little cousin had a great time at a relative gathering."

Soon, netizens came to watch.

"Oh my God, Dundun's eyes are so loving, aren't they?"

"I've said before that Dundun can take care of children, and it's true!"

"I declare that Dundun is the national decathlon cat!"

"I can perform with physical objects, appreciate music, listen to professors' lectures, give speeches, watch cartoons, and dress... Now Dundun can actually take care of children, which is amazing to me!"

"..."

Netizens were so excited that they wished they could turn into babies and let Dundun hold them.

In the banquet hall, Lin Xu drank two glasses of white wine and stopped:

"I have to shoot a video with Cantonese cuisine master Guo Laojun in the afternoon. I can't miss anything. Let's drink with everyone when we're not busy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Chongmo asked curiously:

"Master of Cantonese cuisine? What are you planning to shoot?"

Lin Xu said:

"We are tentatively planning to make sweet and sour pork, but when the stall opens, we will definitely not only cook one dish. After all, everyone is very busy, and I have to save some stock."

He felt it was a bit strange that Ren Chongmo suddenly asked this, so he asked curiously:

"Professor Ren, is there anything you want to eat?"

Ren Chongmo smiled:

"Today's lecture talked about Jiangnan Baihua Chicken. Many students have only heard of it but never seen it... Xiaoxu, can you make a video to enrich the students' horizons?"

Jiangnan Baihua Chicken?

Lin Xu nodded and said:

"Okay, no problem!"
