Chapter 746 Shen Jiayue’s Delicious Late Night Snack! Master Ning, You Know Nothing About Lin Xu’s Talent! 【Please Subscribe】
"The food today is really good, delicious!"
Dai Jianli put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth. His face was filled with the feeling of satisfaction that he had eaten and drank enough. It was a pity that Lao Xie was not here, otherwise he would have had two more cups of Luzhou to drink happily, which would have been more satisfying.
He stood up and stretched, looked at Ning Xiaoli who had eaten three bowls of rice and asked:
"Are you going back? I drove here. If you want to go back, I'll take you home on the way."
Although Lao Dai spends most of his time wilted and rotten, Ning Xiaoli is a junior after all, and he still needs to be taken care of.
Moreover, there is no sense of achievement in bullying children, and it is more enjoyable to bully Ning Yiheng.
Ning Xiaoli waved his hand and said:
"I won't go back. The roast duck oven needs to be rectified tonight. I have to keep an eye on it and not let those construction teams mess around."
The amount of work is not large and can be completed in two hours at most.
But the more this happens, the less careless you can be and you have to keep a closer eye. After all, the money you received from Lin Xu cannot be in vain.
Besides, we are roast duck experts. No matter whether Lin Ji’s roast duck is delicious in the future, the quality of the roast duck oven must pass the test. Otherwise, we cannot afford to lose this person when we talk about it later.
With this attitude, Ning Xiaoli planned to help until the end.
And after an afternoon of observation, he found that Lin Ji's chef didn't have the intrigues and intrigues of ordinary hotel chefs, nor did he have those who only use words but don't do anything.
Apart from the fact that the head chef is a idiot who doesn't know how to cook roast duck, there aren't any big mistakes in other aspects.
Wei Qian was thinking about whether to use roast duck as a topic and mock Ning Xiaoli again, but when he heard that he was going to stay and watch the construction, he asked curiously:
"Do you really want to stay and watch the construction?"
"Of course, I have to be responsible for my design... As for how you use it in the future, I don't care so much. Even if you make roasted whole lamb and roasted suckling pig every day, it has nothing to do with me."
Wei Qian didn't expect Ning Xiaoli to be so open-minded:
"I'll stay with you that night, and by the way, I'll also learn from you the rectification plan for the roast duck oven."
I just found someone to add a wall to the roast duck oven last night, but I didn't expect that it would be dismantled today. This made Wei Qian feel that his knowledge was not broad enough, so he wanted to take this opportunity to learn.
Ning Xiaoli didn’t appreciate it:
"You are a great head chef, but if you don't arrange the kitchen, why don't you go to work tomorrow?"
If it weren't for the fact that you came from Diaoyutai, I would have reported to Lin Xu at noon that you set up two roast duck stoves to trap him.
The reason why Ning Xiaoli didn't report it was that besides being from Diaoyutai, the most important thing was that he felt that Chef Xie and Master Gao were both stupid, so they shouldn't have been unable to tell, so he didn't say anything.
Wei Gan smiled:
"I'm on vacation tomorrow. It doesn't matter if I get off work late. I have nothing to do in the evening. How about I prepare a meal for you and let's have some drinks together?"
Ning Xiaoli originally wanted to refuse, but she didn't feel like hitting the smiling man, so she said:
"Whatever, I don't care."
Upon hearing this, Wei Qian immediately thought of a dish made with roast duck - three-color shredded duck. It is said that it is a dish made of shredded green peppers, mung bean sprouts, and spring bamboo shoots mixed with shredded roast duck.
It has an oily texture and fresh taste. It is a side dish to go with wine, but for the roast duck chef, it is also a heart-wrenching dish.
But then I thought about it, even the roast duck didn't work, I guess the three-color shredded duck was enough.
So Wei Qian put away his thoughts and planned to wait until Ning Xiaoli quarreled with him again to do it, so as to make this roast duck monster angry.
Soon, the evening rush hour arrived.
Ning Xiaoli was still studying the roast duck stove, and even checked the flue to make sure that the oil fumes from the cooking area would not run into the roast duck stove, and then he felt relieved.
Lin Xu learned that he was going to stay and specifically promised to give him double the subsidy.
Before putting the duck oven into use, be sure to stabilize this thing first.
When the roast duck oven is ready for use, will you cook two roast ducks at that time? With your perfect skills, will this duck fanatic be so impressed?
Lin Xu told Wei Qian to entertain Ning Xiaoli well, then hugged Dundun and drove home with Shen Jiayue.
I won't be at home for a few days, so I have to go back early to clean up.
Especially recently, there has been a sandstorm in the capital. It is said that a thick layer of sand will fall on the house, so I have to get off work early to clean up. I may be busy for a long time.
Back home, Lin Xu looked at the ground and saw that there was indeed dust.
He moved his luggage upstairs, turned on the mower, and started mopping the floor, while Shen Jiayue put on housekeeping gloves and started wiping the furniture with a rag.
At this time, the shortcomings of the home are revealed, and it is not too troublesome to clean them up.
Especially for this kind of duplex, everything needs to be cleaned and wiped upstairs and downstairs, including the stairs.
Dundun was very happy to return home. He squatted on the sweeper and rode a motorcycle for a while, then sat in the remote-controlled car brought back from Yinzhou, acting like a novice from a driving school practicing.
Unfortunately, there is no remote control, so I can't start it, so I can only practice static control.
It wasn't until 9:30 in the evening that the house was barely cleaned.
The young couple changed the sheets and quilts and stuffed them into the washing machine, and then they had a chance to breathe.
"I'm so exhausted. I feel even more tired than aerobics...Xubao, I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat at home?"
Shen Jiayue lay on her back on the bed, kicked off her slippers, and started asking for food.
Lin Xu thought about it for a while. He was in a hurry when he got off work and didn't prepare anything to eat. There seemed to be no ingredients in the kitchen.
He said:
"I'll go downstairs first to see if there's anything to eat. If not, I'll just order takeout."
"Oh, that's awesome..."
Shen Jiayue got out of bed and went downstairs with Lin Xu to find some food.
When he got downstairs, Lin Xu opened the refrigerator and took a look. The refrigerator was empty, except for some drinks and condiments, and only some eggs.
As for the freezer, although there was some meat, it was frozen hard.
Lin Xu took out a piece of chicken breast and planned to defrost it and make something for Dundun to eat.
As for food for people... He closed the refrigerator and took out two carrots and a cabbage from the vegetable rack next to it, which are relatively long-lasting dishes.
He opened the cupboard again and looked at it. They were all flour, rice, noodles and other dry ingredients.
In addition, there are some dried shrimps, scallops, dried kelp and other miscellaneous ingredients. The quantities are not large. After all, families usually only make breakfast, so there is no need to prepare too many ingredients.
After reading this, Lin Xu said to Shen Jiayue:
"Now you can make fried noodles, fried rice, egg pancakes, thousand-layer cakes and other foods. What do you want to eat?"
"Then let's make fried noodles. I can't wait for the rice to be steamed."
Lin Xu agreed, boiled water in a pot, and then took out a strip of soy sauce meat from the freezer compartment of the refrigerator, washed it with hot water, then sliced it and put it on a plate, and put it in the steaming cabinet to start steaming.
While waiting for the water to boil, he beat a few more eggs, chopped some carrots and some cabbage.
Boil the water, boil the noodles in it, then find a larger basin and add a basin of cold water. After the noodles are cooked, directly take them into the basin to cool down, then take them out to control the water.
Shen Jiayue stood aside and asked curiously:
"Xubao, what should I do if I make hot dry noodles?"
"Just scoop it out and mix it with sesame sauce, or mix it with rapeseed oil, let the noodles cool, and then put them back in the pot to blanch them when you're ready to eat."
Because the noodles in hot dry noodle shops are made at once, they need to be mixed with oil.
But it doesn’t need to be so troublesome to make at home. Just mix it with sesame paste and chili oil, and it will still taste delicious.
But I didn’t make sesame sauce at home today, so I’d better forget about the hot dry noodles.
Lin Xu set up the frying pan, poured oil into the pan, poured the eggs in and stir-fried them into pieces, then took them out and set them aside for later use.
Add cooking oil to the pot again, but this time it's not peanut oil, but scallion oil.
There wasn't even scallions and ginger at home today, so Lin Xu dug out some scallion oil boiled with lard.
Heat the oil, pour the cabbage in and stir-fry, using the aroma of lard to bring out the bitterness of the cabbage, then add the noodles, stir-fry quickly, and stir-fry the noodles until the surface is oily.
Then pour light soy sauce and dark soy steamed fish soy sauce into the pot, then add a little salt and start seasoning.
Mix the flavors thoroughly, add the eggs and carrot shreds, and continue to stir-fry.
Under the influence of dark soy sauce, the noodles turn oily red, look more attractive and delicious, and have a richer aroma.
Stir well and remove from pan and plate.
At this time, the soy sauce meat in the steaming cabinet has also been steamed.
Lin Xu took it out, cut the chicken breast into cubes, mixed it with egg yolk, and put it in for steaming.
"Wow, these noodles are so delicious when stir-fried!"
Shen Jiayue took a bite of the noodles and couldn't help but sigh.
Marrying someone who can cook is indeed different. In the blink of an eye, I actually made fried noodles, and the taste was indescribably delicious.
The surface of the noodles is oily and the texture is soft and chewy, a bit like eating fried noodles.
It feels so good to take two bites of fried noodles, then put a piece of steamed, fragrant and delicious soy sauce meat into your mouth and chew it together.
I originally thought it was a very passable late-night snack, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious.
I really envy Yan Bao and the others. They can eat takeout when they are hungry in the middle of the night, but I can only eat the fried noodles made by Xu Bao. Alas, I really want to experience the feeling of ordering terrible takeout, but it is a pity that I don’t have this opportunity.
She thought happily while eating, and then took another bite of fried noodles. It was so satisfying!
At the same time, in the store.
It was already off work, but the lights were still brightly lit in Linji, and several construction teams were busy carrying refractory bricks and the required high-temperature cement upstairs.
In the kitchen on the second floor, Wei Gan fried a portion of roast lamb, fried some gluten, and made two cold dishes. After Ning Xiaoli explained the construction team's rectifications, he walked over, looked at the dishes on the table, and asked curiously:
"Aren't you afraid that Lin Xu will deduct your salary if you eat like this?"
"We, Lin Ji, have strict rules, but when it comes to food, even if we eat a whole pig in one meal, Lin Xu won't care. Otherwise, why do you think the employees in the store support him so much?"
By now the building materials had been moved, and Wei Qian said to the other remaining employees:
"Go and lock the door downstairs, and then come over and eat together. If you want to eat something else, you can go in."
After all, Wei Qian was the chief chef. Even if he stayed, he would not be able to serve as a bare-bones commander here. So when Shu Yun got off work, he specially arranged for a few assistant chefs to stay and greet him.
These guys will work the night shift tomorrow, and they will receive an additional allowance of about 200 yuan, which is considered as compensation for tonight's shift.
The chefs didn't come to join in the fun. They returned to the kitchen, planning to take advantage of this opportunity to cook their own favorite dishes.
It just so happens that Wei Qian is here and can give him some advice.
Wei Qian opened a can of beer and handed it to Ning Xiaoli, smiling and saying:
"We will be colleagues from now on. All the unpleasantness in the past was caused by drinking."
After saying that, he picked up another can of beer and took a few sips first.
After a busy night, my voice is almost hoarse. Now, I have some cold beer. Not to mention, it is quite comfortable.
"Colleague? I didn't say I wanted to work here."
Ning Xiaoli took a sip of beer, turned her face to look at the construction situation, and then said:
"I plan to find a better roast duck master and hone my skills. Although Lin Xu is good at cooking, he doesn't know how to roast duck. I have no intention of staying."
Wei Qian's face was full of question marks:
"Where did you find out that Lin Xu can't cook roast duck? Although we have known each other for less than a year, but based on my understanding of him, he can cook all the dishes in the store, and even cook them very well. Only after eating it will he have the idea of doing something new... I’m not exaggerating, his current level of roast duck is definitely very high, otherwise he wouldn’t play like this.”
Ning Xiaoli's hand holding the vegetables trembled slightly:
"real?"
"Why are you lying to me? Lin Xu is a very interesting person. In the two cooking competitions, he always comes up with unexpected new tricks, and from beginning to end, he gives people the feeling that he has not exhausted his efforts. For ordinary dishes, he can't do it at all. Just don’t use your full strength.”
In order to support his statement, Wei Qian turned on his mobile phone, logged into the short video platform, found Liu Bo's account, turned to the short video posted yesterday, clicked play, and then pointed the screen at Ning Xiaoli:
"Look, what do you think of this roast duck?"
Ning Xiaoli took the phone and looked at it. It was shaped like a lilac leaf and covered with a layer of red and shiny duck skin. It looked like a roasted duck in a hanging oven.
The next plate is standard elephant eye slices, which is obviously braised roast duck.
The video is very short, just a picture of two plates of roast duck placed together, and the accompanying text is also very simple, only saying "La la la, let's eat roast duck for lunch today."
Look at the uploaded location, it is Longqishan Scenic Area in Yinzhou City.
If I remember correctly, this scenic spot belongs to Lin Xu's family.
Ning Xiaoli's mouth twitched, thinking about her wrong judgment, she couldn't believe it:
"He knows how to cook roast duck? How is it possible? If he hadn't practiced since childhood, it would have been impossible to reach a very high level."
Wei Gan took a sip of beer:
"I used to think this way. It wasn't until the day of the last competition that I won second place in the whole pig decomposition section. Only then did I realize that my pig-killing skills, which I had practiced since childhood, were actually surpassed by a college student."
Ning Xiaoli was in a state of confusion at the moment, unable to accept this fact.
He picked up a piece of roast mutton and put it into his mouth, chewed it twice, and then said:
"When the roast duck oven is finished, I will officially compete with Lin Xu. If he can surpass me, I will stay and work for him. Otherwise, I will continue to go back to Diaoyutai."
Wei Qian grinned and touched Ning Xiaoli's beer:
"Welcome in advance to join Lin Ji. If I guessed correctly, Lin Xu will let you serve as the head chef of the roast duck department, on the same level as Zhu Yong and Qin Wei. I was the first to join and took advantage of it, so I became Head chef."
In fact, the reason why Wei Qian was appointed as the chief chef was not only because he joined early, but also because this guy had a lot of clever ideas.
For example, when he was about to leave in Building 1, he took a vacation and rested for a month under the nose of He Baoqing, and even kidnapped Qin Wei.
This kind of talent who does not adhere to rules is naturally suitable for management.
As a roast duck master, Ning Xiaoli has a very obvious duck characteristic-a tough mouth.
He took a sip of beer and said:
"I won't know if I can stay until the roast duck competition is over. My family is not short of money, and I don't just work for others."
The roast duck oven will be built tonight and will not be used until at least forty-eight hours later.
If this is the case, then let’s have a competition the day after tomorrow.
When the time comes, you can ask your third uncle to come over and be the referee, so that people on Lin Ji's side won't get sidetracked. I heard that some people will tell lies just to curry favor with the boss, so be careful.
After finishing a can of beer, Ning Xiaoli got up and went to the oven to check on the progress.
Don't forget about business just because you're drinking.
And if he really wants to stay and work for Lin Xu, he will be responsible for the roast duck stove. He must repair it to perfection so as not to use his 100% cooking skills.
At the dinner table, Wei Qian took his mobile phone and sent the bet he just made to Lin Xu.
Ning Xiaoli has real abilities, and Lin Xu is also very satisfied with him, so as the head chef and friend, he naturally has to help out.
At home, Lin Xu was about to wash the dishes after eating fried noodles. When he saw the message from Wei Qian, he suddenly became happy.
Isn’t this just throwing yourself into a trap?
"Are you confident in the roast duck competition?"
Wei Gan asked worriedly.
Lin Xu smiled and replied:
"Let Ning Xiaoli tell me the clothes size, and prepare to customize the chef's clothes."
At this time, Dundun's midnight snack was ready, egg yolk mixed with chicken breast, and the little guy ate it happily.
Shen Jiayue scratched its forehead and said:
"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you. Eat and drink enough and go to bed early. Mommy will take you to the Ginkgo Garden to see the little whites tomorrow, okay, honey?"
Upon hearing this, Dundun immediately rubbed Shen Jiayue with her plump little butt.
It can't wait to share what it has learned about Yinzhou with the little animals.
The prehistoric monster-like Xiao Xia, the Quarrel King who chatters all day long, Xiao Hui, Da Jin, etc. are all very interesting friends.
Shen Jiayue confirmed her plan for tomorrow, turned to look at Lin Xu and asked:
"Xubao, let's go to the Ginkgo Garden tomorrow. What are you going to do?"
"I'll go to Yanjing Hotel in the morning, say hello to Master and the others, and take a look in the kitchen. I'll come back after lunch and start working on things in the store."
Lin Xu's first priority now is to keep Ning Xiaoli, and put other things aside for the time being.
Shen Jiayue then asked:
"By the way, cousin Wenqing also wants to eat the roast duck you cooked. When can I taste it?"
"The day after tomorrow, the oven in the day after tomorrow store is officially opened. By the way, I will discuss the roast duck with the new head chef of the roast duck department."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xu's mind sounded a system prompt...
