Stop pretending, I am the God of Cooking and I am showing off my cards! - Chapter 790
c790 Lao Wu: I wanted to drive the tiger away and devour the wolf, but why did the tiger
The atmosphere in the back kitchen of Building 4 became solemn.
Lao Wu looked at He Baoqing and smiled helplessly:
“Isn’t this just to get close to Brother Lin… You also recorded secretly, but everyone still thinks you are a loyal elder. Boss, tell me the truth. Did you go to Japan to work when you were young?”
“Guangguangguan, you just went to Japan to work. Will you give me tea? If you don’t give me, just post this in the group chat. When the time comes, not only Lao Dai and Lao Xie will ask you for tea, but Director Liao will also come over. , He has been thinking about the new tea for a long time.”
He Baoqing pretended to be determined to defeat Lao Wu, and silently put away his mobile phone, with an expression that he would die if he didn’t give him tea.
Lao Wu said helplessly:
“I thought that the friendship with your colleague after so many years would not be worth a can of tea. Boss, do you really want it?”
Seeing that he was about to give in, He Baoqing couldn’t help but smile on his face:
“This is not the best tea you can get. If I don’t drink it for a day, I will feel itchy all over.”
When Lao Wu heard this, he pretended to be concerned and said:
“Then you’d better stop drinking tea and go to the hospital for a physical examination quickly. Don’t delay it due to any serious illness… My uncle’s third uncle also had itching all over his body before he died of skin cancer.”
“Gungungun, stop cursing me and take out the tea leaves quickly! Give me a can of tea leaves and I will delete the recording, otherwise you can prepare eighteen cans of tea leaves…”
Under this threat, Wu Shouye became helpless. He thought for a while and said:
“Then wait a moment and I’ll get it for you upstairs.”
“You don’t know how to play any tricks, do you?”
“Tch, it’s just some tea leaves. Our old Wu family has hundreds of years of inheritance and we don’t even bother to mess with this kind of thing.”
After saying that, Lao Wu went to the room upstairs to get tea.
He Baoqing was waiting downstairs happily. He had always been a loyal elder, but this time he became a bad guy, and it felt… quite enjoyable!
No wonder Lao Xie and Lao Dai are happy to be bad guys.
Soon, Lao Wu came down from upstairs with two cans of tea, which made He Baoqing feel happy.
Why buy one get one free?
How embarrassing!
He took it with both hands and opened the lid. He saw that the jar was filled with half a jar of tea leaves, which together seemed to be at most one jar.
“Old Wu…what’s going on?”
“Didn’t you want a can? I packed it separately for you. This is the last thing I have left. If you don’t believe me, you can look for it. If you find a little bit more, I will give you your last name.”
Having said that, He Baoqing didn’t say anything more. Building No. 1 still had the reception task of the Ministry of Environmental Protection today, so he hurried away with two cans of tea.
Lao Wu looked at the time on his phone and saw that He Baoqing had already returned to Building 1. He immediately took out his phone and called Dai Jianli, pretending to be angry:
“Lao Dai, where are you? Come here, come here, I’m really sorry for you…”
Dai Jianli was eating pine nuts with Lao Yuan in Building 8. He was very curious when he heard this:
“Why are you sorry for me? Peed on my car tires?”
“Gungungun, isn’t that what dogs do? That’s right. I just prepared two cans of tea for you and Lao Xie. After all, you two are famous online. I want you to help me. Who knows? The boss actually snatched away two large cans of tea, leaving nothing behind. How did he become like this? I almost cried with anger…”
Lao Dai didn’t care whether Lao Wu really almost cried because his attention was completely attracted by the tea.
Two whole cans?
Is there still so much Longjing tea in Building 4?
It seems it’s time to reflect. Last time we searched so thoroughly with Lao Xie, but we actually let this guy Lao Wu hide the tea. Are we too gentle?
Lao Dai called an acquaintance in the security office:
“Check the surveillance outside Building 4. Did the executive chef of Building 1 just come out of Building 4?”
Soon, the feedback came:
“I just came out about ten minutes ago. I had two tea cans in my hands, which were very conspicuous.”
In this case, let’s go to Building 1 with Lao Xie and get back the four cans of tea that belong to us.
Well, he took our tea from Building 4 to Building 1, which caused us to walk a few more steps. So it’s reasonable to charge some travel expenses, right?
Soon, Lao Dai contacted Xie Baomin and went straight to Building No. 1.
On the other side, Lin Ji Gourmet Kitchen.
Lin Xu prepared all the ingredients in the banquet hall at noon. What should be marinated, what should be soaked, and what needs to be steamed should be cooked now to avoid being too late.
After finishing the work at hand, he received a call from Lao Wu:
“Brother Lin, will you come to my place to record the program this afternoon? Let’s record Longjing Shrimp, and then record one or two Zhejiang dishes. What do you think?”
“No problem, Chef Wu, I will go to Diaoyutai to meet you after lunch.”
When Lin Xu agreed so happily, Lao Wu was very happy:
“Then I will wait for Brother Lin in Building 4. By the way, I will go to Building 9 to ask about Lao Jin’s shooting techniques, so as not to delay.”
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xu came outside and asked Shen Jiayue who was watching the drama:
“I’m going to Diaoyutai Building 4 in the afternoon to cook Zhejiang cuisine with Chef Wu. Is there anything you want to eat?”
If the good baby wants to eat, take the opportunity to let Lao Wu cook it, so you can steal it.
Shen Jiayue clicked on the tablet to pause the video being played, thought carefully for a moment and said:
“I actually want to eat West Lake vinegar fish. I always say it is as tender as crab meat and has a long-lasting taste. I really want to know whether this is the boast of educated people or whether modern chefs can’t cook it.”
Oops, it’s very difficult to get up to it.
But her words touched Lin Xu’s heart.
This Hangzhou dish, which has been complained about by countless outsiders, is in huge contrast to the rumored taste.
This feeling of tearing made Lin Xu very curious.
Is it because Hangzhou people are too good at bragging, or is the overall level of chefs there declining, resulting in no one being able to make the essence of this thousand-year-old dish?
Since my dear baby ordered this dish today, let me show it to Lao Wu.
Experience the beauty of real Zhejiang cuisine in all aspects.
At almost noon, people from Brother Qiang’s company came over one after another. The waiter took everyone to the banquet hall upstairs. After waiting for the hundreds of people to sit down, they served some fruits and snacks.
This kind of mobilization meeting cannot serve food directly, because the leaders have to say a few words, especially the company boss. If they don’t motivate, it will be a waste of money.
Lin Ji’s snacks were delicious. As soon as they were served, the noisy employees calmed down and started eating attentively.
The leaders of the company took the opportunity to come to the stage and began to draw the big pie.
After they finished speaking, the company’s boss even set a small goal of going public within three years, and promised that after the listing, all employees would have stock options, ensuring that everyone would be a millionaire.
The newly recruited employees of the company all have glowing faces and are very excited.
The old employees responded to the slogans while discussing in low voices which snacks tasted better.
No matter how beautiful the painted cake is, you can’t eat it right now, so everyone only cares about the part that can be eaten.
Finally, the leaders had finished speaking, and had eaten all the snacks on the table. Let’s start the banquet!
Dishes were served one after another, starting with four cold, four hot and eight appetizers, followed by various steamed, stewed, whole chicken, whole fish, elbow, roast duck and other regular large dishes.
When the food was almost ready, the waiter came in carrying a roasted whole lamb.
There were many people today, so I made three roasted whole lambs at one time, one Mongolian crispy roasted whole lamb, and two northwest crispy roasted whole lambs.
Lin Xu also deliberately broke down and cut into pieces in front of everyone, which made these employees extremely satisfied.
After finishing these tasks, Lin Xu returned downstairs with a kitchen knife. Shen Jiayue and Shen Jiayue, who was obsessed with watching the drama, each ate a bowl of hand-made noodles with tomato and egg toppings, and the other two ate two grilled lamb chops.
“Xubao, how do you make moss biscuits?”
“This is simple. Mix maltose, honey, eggs, and oil. Mix flour, baking powder, yeast powder, and baking soda into a dough. Let it rest for half an hour. Roll it into a pancake, and brush it with a layer of maltose water. Sprinkle some white sesame seeds and crushed moss again, roll it out again, cut it into small pieces, and bake it in the oven.”
The making of this kind of biscuits is basically a routine. Through this method, you can also make meat floss biscuits, seaweed biscuits, green and red silk biscuits, etc.
After finishing the noodles, Lin Xu looked at the time and said to Shen Jiayue:
“Don’t keep watching dramas, get up and do some exercise. I’m going to Diaoyutai. If you need anything, call me.”
“Okay Xu Bao!”
Shen Jiayue agreed, put down her tablet, picked up her mobile phone to contact Lao Suntou, and asked about Dundun’s situation. She was relieved when she learned that the little guy was having a great time.
After ending the call, she called Lao Shen again and told him about the moss vegetables in the store.
After having nothing to do, this girl remembered the biscuit recipe that Lin Xu just mentioned, and planned to go to the small kitchen to try it out and take pictures with her camera.
Hoho, this time I did it alone without Xu Bao’s guidance!
She was ready for the car to overturn, and she also planned to let Niu Chuang or Ji Minghui come to the rescue.
This kind of biscuit-like pasta is quite difficult for her, but for the chef who has been working in pastry all year round, it is easy and effortless.
Just do it, Shen Jiayue strode to the small kitchen, set up the shooting equipment, briefly prepared the ingredients for making biscuits, and then started recklessly.
She knew she was clumsy and couldn’t make dough, but people couldn’t be limited by fixed thinking.
Although we don’t know how to knead noodles, we can use a dough kneader.
Those small kitchen appliances are designed for kitchen novices. They may seem useless, but when they are used, they can still make a difference.
For example, it is really easy to use small household appliances such as dough mixers and bread machines to knead dough.
She took out the dough mixer she bought before, cleaned it first, then took out the kitchen scale, and started adding ingredients and various seasonings to the dough mixer according to the amounts on the instructions.
After adding everything, push the dough kneading bin in and start kneading the dough.
Taking advantage of this time, she put the moss in the oven, baked it at a low temperature for a while, and then rolled it into powder with a rolling pin.
After doing this, the dough is almost ready.
I took it out and looked at it. It turned out that the softness and hardness were moderate, which was very good. At least Shen Jiayue himself could not reach this level.
She put the dough into a basin, covered it with a wet cloth, and began to bake it.
On the other side, Lin Xu drove into Diaoyutai. When passing by Building 2, he was about to get out of the car to say hello to his senior brother when he saw Lao Dai waving to him from Building 4.
He continued to drive forward until he reached the door of Building 4, only to find that his senior brother was also there.
what’s the situation?
Does shooting a video now require so much effort?
Lin Xu parked the car in the parking space of Building 4, opened the door and got out of the car, and asked Lao Dai and Lao Xie:
“What are you two doing here?”
Xie Baomin handed over a can of tea:
“Put it in the car. Just now we felt that Lao Wu was dishonest, so we got some tea leaves from him.”
Lao Dai took out a jar of Biluochun and put it in Lin Xu’s hand:
“This is given to you by the boss of Building No. 1. He is very enthusiastic. Don’t fall out with him. Among our group of head chefs, if you want to be the most loyal and loyal person, it has to be the boss.”
Lin Xu looked at his posture and felt that he was bullying someone again.
he asked:
“If you two are not busy in the afternoon, we will shoot a video together later. I will shoot the Longjing shrimp first. After the shooting, I plan to see the West Lake vinegar fish. I wonder if the fish has been prepared in Building 4 in advance.”
West Lake Vinegar Fish is different from other dishes. It is said that this dish requires thinning the grass carp in advance before cooking, so that the meat can be as tender as a crab.
But whether this is the case depends on the explanation of professionals.
Lin Xu planned to listen to Lao Wu’s statement first. If it was also ambiguous, he would directly redeem the West Lake Vinegar Fish method in the points mall to see what was going on.
After hearing this, Xie Baomin smiled and said:
“Forget it about taking a video, we have something to do in the afternoon, and Lao Wu is very angry right now, so he probably won’t be in the mood to see us.”
Tsk, it seems that Lao Wu was bullied quite a lot.
Lao Dai said:
“The West Lake Vinegar Fish should really be photographed. This dish has been completely ruined by half-baked chefs and merchants who are obsessed with making money. Now foreign guests no longer order this dish.”
Listen to what this means, is the West Lake Vinegar Fish really not what tourists say?
Xie Baomin followed Lao Dai’s words and said:
“This dish is very delicate to make, but you have to try your luck if you want to eat it. If the grass carp in Building 4 is not prepared in advance, you won’t be able to eat it… The wild grass carp used in West Lake Vinegar Fish needs to be stocked for a few days. Hungry After you lose weight, feed some broad beans to increase muscle, just like a fitness expert eating protein powder. You can do it after a period of time.”
Just by listening to this step, you will know that most businesses in Hangzhou do not have this ability. In other words, they are reluctant to bear this cost.
Not to mention raising it for a few days, the grass carp they use is probably not willing to use wild ones, but just make do with farmed ones.
Use this kind of fish to make vinegar fish, and the taste can be imagined.
No matter how perfect the sweet and sour sauce is, it probably won’t be able to suppress the fishy smell.
The few of them chatted for a while, and then Lao Xie and Lao Dai left. They planned to go to Xintiandi to shoot a store visit video while they were not busy in the afternoon.
After they left, Lao Wu came over from the restaurant:
“Welcome Brother Lin!”
Lin Xu was very curious. He had just been chatting with his senior brother and Lao Dai at the door for about ten minutes. Lao Wu didn’t show up the whole time. He thought he was busy in the kitchen.
But he showed up just after the two left. How could he be like guarding against Japanese invaders?
“Chef Wu, what did my senior brother and Chef Dai do just now?”
Lin Xu asked tentatively, with a smile written all over his face.
Hearing this question, Wu Shouye couldn’t help but sigh:
“Oh, this old Xie and Old Dai are really hard to describe!”
He was threatened by He Baoqing, so he originally wanted to lie and let Lao Dai and Lao Xie help him deal with the boss and vent his anger on his behalf.
But I didn’t expect that these two living devils not only ransacked Building No. 1, but also shot back. They turned Building No. 4 upside down just like the Japanese invaders entering the village.
I have never seen such a shameless person!
Lin Xu glanced at Lao Wu sympathetically. He couldn’t hide from them, but you made a deal with the devil. How can you end up like this?
But seeing the aggrieved look on Lao Wu’s face, he comforted:
“My senior brother did go a bit too far, but it’s okay. I’ll call them over later to shoot a video with you, to gain some popularity for you, and to help you get some interest back.”
“Eh? Yes, I can ask them to take a video for me.”
Lao Wu, who had just lost his mind and felt that he had suffered a big loss, immediately became excited when he heard Lin Xu’s words.
For Lin Xu’s comfort, Lao Wu took the initiative to express his gratitude:
“Thank you, brother. I still have several cans of tea at home. I’ll give you two more cans later!”
Lin Xu: “…”
It seems that the search by senior fellow apprentices is not thorough.
The two walked into the back kitchen. There was a small kitchen in the back, which was changed to the same layout as Building No. 9. It was fully equipped with fill lights, tripods and other shooting equipment.
Lin Xu looked around and said:
“Is this equipment similar to the one in Building 9?”
Lao Wu smiled sheepishly:
“I borrowed this from Lao Jin. I can’t buy this kind of equipment for a while, so I can only borrow some temporarily. He readily agreed…”
Lin Xu saw that his smile was a little fake, and then thinking about the regular “borrowing” methods of Diaoyutai chefs, if he guessed correctly, Lao Wu should have snatched these equipment directly from Building 9.
Just now, he was sympathizing with the chef’s plight, but now, Lin Xu just felt that he was too young and the world was too sinister.
If it weren’t for the reputation of his senior brother, these head chefs might not be as polite to him as they imagined.
What I want to take a photo of today is Longjing Shrimp, a famous Zhejiang dish. The raw materials used are large river shrimp and Longjing tea. In addition, salt, monosodium glutamate, egg white, potato starch and other ingredients and condiments are needed.
When everything was ready, Lin Xu also put on the prepared chef uniform, and the two began filming.
After turning on the camera, Wu Shouye first told the story and origin of Longjing Shrimp, and then welcomed Lin Xu to the recording room to participate in the recording of this dish.
After the explanation, he introduced the ingredients:
“Big river shrimp, this dish must use river shrimp, nothing else will work. The tea must also use good Longjing tea, and tea alone is not enough. I will explain how to use it later.”
After his introduction, Lin Xu asked:
“Is it time to peel the shrimp now?”
“Yes, but here I will teach netizens a little trick on peeling shrimp shells…Don’t peel the large river shrimps directly, but put them in the freezer of the refrigerator and freeze them for about ten minutes. This way the shrimps will be more complete and the shells will be crispier. It’s easier to peel.”
Lin Xu didn’t expect that there was such a little trick.
He has various techniques at hand, but he doesn’t need this one, but he can teach it to the good boy later. This girl is so interested in cooking, so she should learn some tricks like this.
I don’t know if she is still watching TV now. If I had known, I would have brought her here to be the photographer, so as not to spoil my eyes by watching the drama all the time.
When Lin Xuzheng was thinking wildly, in the small kitchen of Linji Food, Shen Jiayue brought the dough over and said to the camera:
“This is my first attempt, and my little assistant is not here, so if it fails, don’t laugh at me… I will officially start making moss biscuits, everyone will wait and see!”
