Stop pretending, I am the God of Cooking and I am showing off my cards! - Chapter 797

c797 Shi Wenqing: I regret not going to Central Finance! Zeng Xiao

“Wow! This chrysanthemum cake is so beautiful that I can’t bear to eat it!”

When Shi Wenqing came to the store and saw the ridiculously beautiful chrysanthemum cake for the state banquet, he was so surprised that he couldn’t move his eyes away.

Although I have seen photos in the group, but now that I see the real one, I feel it is more beautiful and attractive than the photo, especially the light yellow petals, which are no different from the real ones.

Shen Jiayue wiped her hands and took the baby in her arms:

“You eat, cousin, and I’ll tease my niece.”

Shi Wenqing’s daughter is named Luo Yulin. When naming her, she originally wanted to add Shi Wenqing’s surname to her name, but found that Luo and Shi were put together, which is homophonic with Luosi.

At that time, Shen Jiayue used her talents and chose a bunch of homophonic names such as Luo Shifen, Luo Shihun, Luo Shitang, Luo Shimian, etc., which directly gave up the idea of ​​Shi Wenqing and his wife adding the woman’s surname.

They didn’t want their daughter’s name to be so fancy.

In the end, the two took the first two characters from the song “Yulin Ling”, a song they both liked, and took it as their daughter’s name.

At this time, Luo Yulin was lying quietly in Shen Jiayue’s arms. It was unclear why his mother was eating and drinking beside him.

Shen Jiayue secretly decided that when Xiao Yulin grew up, she would tell her about Shi Wenqing’s behavior of forgetting her children, so that the family tradition could be passed on.

Shu Yun asked while eating:

“I’ve had it at Diaoyutai. The color seems a little more yellow than this one. Boss, do you know how it’s made?”

Lin Xu is adjusting the temperature of the oven at the moment:

“Just add some custard powder when kneading the dough. The custard powder can make the flour change from white to light yellow. When fried in this way, the color will be darker, from light yellow to bright yellow or goose yellow, which is relatively closer. The color of a chrysanthemum.”

I did this today mainly to restore the look of the state banquet in Hangzhou.

If you leave aside the state banquet, there are too many ways to make it. You can adjust the dough into various colors such as red, yellow, blue and green, and you can also combine the colors to make it as fancy as you want.

Not long after, the simple version of chrysanthemum cake was ready in the oven.

Lin Xu brought out the baking pan, and everyone immediately gathered around. The originally white noodles had been roasted to a golden color, and were crispy in layers, while the red bean paste had turned deep red and exuded a rich fragrance.

“smell good!”

“looks very tasty!”

“Xiao Xu, is this easy? If it’s easy, I’ll learn it and let Yulin take it to school to show off when she goes to kindergarten.”

Lin Xu couldn’t help but feel happy when he heard cousin Wenqing’s words.

The little girl is only half a year old, but she has already begun to bear the heavy responsibility of helping her mother show off her cooking skills. Life is difficult!

Shen Jiayue said:

“It’s quite simple for us talented people, but cousin, it might be a little difficult for you to learn.”

When Shi Wenqing heard this, he sighed:

“If you know that going to Central Finance and Economics can improve your cooking talent, I will not enroll in Peking University Medical School even if I die. Not only will I become bald, but I still don’t know how to cook…”

One misstep will lead to eternal hatred!

Cousin Wenqing beat her chest and stamped her feet for a while in annoyance, but everyone just thought her Versailles was a bit noisy.

At this moment, Lucy finally remembered to take off the cycling cap on her head. She shook her long blond hair, carefully picked up a chrysanthemum cake from the baking pan, took a bite, and immediately gave Lin Xu a thumbs up:

“Good!”

The texture of the chrysanthemum cake is perfect, the dough is crispy and delicious, and there are layers of it.

The bean paste filling inside tastes a little hot, and is in a semi-liquid state. You even have to suck it when eating. This hot feeling is really fragrant, sweet and enjoyable.

When Luo Yulin saw everyone eating, he couldn’t help opening his mouth and babbling.

Shen Jiayue said with a smile:

“Ha, it sounds very similar to Dundun’s scream. Let her talk to Dundun downstairs later to see if there is any chemical reaction between the cousins.”

Shi Wenqing took a bite of the chrysanthemum cake and thought it was indeed delicious.

She picked up a chopstick, dipped the tip of the chopstick into the red bean paste, blew twice, and then carefully placed it near her daughter’s mouth. The little girl immediately took a sip.

The aunts around were immediately amused:

“Ha, he turns out to be a foodie!”

“The food looks delicious. Can she eat red bean paste at such a young age?”

“Now I can only eat some easy-to-digest complementary food, right?”

Everyone was chattering. Lin Xu took out a sealed can of pork floss from the cabinet, opened it and said to Shi Wenqing:

“Now the baby can be fed some complementary food. Sister Wenqing, try some meat floss. It’s good for your health.”

Shi Wenqing immediately became interested:

“I also read research that it is good for infants and young children to use meat floss as complementary food, but the meat floss sold outside always seems to have additives, so I dare not give it to children… Is this what you made?”

Shen Jiayue raised her hand:

“No! No! No! This is what I did. Now I am basically responsible for this kind of basic work. If you want to learn, just call Master and I will teach you!”

Shi Wenqing didn’t doubt his cousin’s cooking skills, but he just felt that he might not be able to learn it.

She asked tentatively:

“Easy?”

“It’s super easy, all you need is your hands!”

Shu Yun smiled and said:

“Medical students have an inherent advantage in learning cooking. After all, some meat must be cut across the muscle grain, and some meat must be cut along the muscle grain. Ordinary people are easily confused, but medical students should be able to understand it instantly.”

Shi Wenqing thought for a while and refused to study:

“I am an orthopedic surgeon. I will inevitably have to cut muscles in the future. Don’t confuse it with cooking and cutting meat. Forget it.”

Shen Jiayue missed the disciple and casually handed over the can of meat floss:

“Then I will be responsible for the baby’s meat floss from now on, and I will ensure that there will be no additives.”

“Daughter, thank you quickly, Aunt Yueyue.”

Luo Yulin screamed at Shen Jiayue twice without knowing what he was saying. Shen Jiayue hugged her and kissed her hard several times:

“The human cub is so funny, I can kiss her and cry all the time.”

Shi Wenqing fed Luo Yulin some more red bean paste:

“If you have the energy to kiss your husband… Yueyue, when are you going to have children? As a doctor, I have the responsibility to remind you that the best reproductive period for human beings is before the age of twenty-five, don’t miss it. ”

Shen Jiayue asked:

“Isn’t your orthopedics department all about axes, chisels, impact drills, etc. Are you still studying childbirth?”

Shi Wenqing: “…”

Can you please stop thinking that an orthopedic surgeon is not a doctor?

We use both axes and chisels, making us look like carpenters on a construction team.

She said:

“This is the most basic medical common sense. Even people who are not medical professionals know it. Yueyue, you don’t even know this, right?”

Shen Jiayue retorted:

“Then why don’t you give birth before you are twenty-five?”

Shi Wenqing opened his mouth, remembering how hard he studied when he was twenty-five years old, and suddenly felt that his college career was so meager, with nothing more than medical books.

I have never even experienced campus love.

She said helplessly:

“Before I was twenty-five, I was so busy being a topic writer that I didn’t even have time to fall in love. How could I have time to have children? When my Luo Yulin grows up, I will never let her study medicine. She spends her best years on In terms of study, I don’t enjoy life at all, which is a shame.”

I finally understand why there is a saying in the medical circle that “persuading people to study medicine will cause lightning strikes”.

Shu Yun asked:

“What do you want your child to learn when she grows up?”

“Anything is fine, you can do whatever you want. You can sing, dance, and have fun. It will make up for the youth I lost as a question artist.”

Geng Lele saw that cousin Wenqing was a little depressed and quickly changed the topic:

“Dancing? What kind of dance? Gong Biao dance?”

As soon as he said this, Shi Wenqing’s emotions were immediately aroused:

“Wow, you’ve also watched The Long Season, right? Biaozi’s dance is indeed very soulful.”

In order to make her cousin happy, Shen Jiayue immediately turned on her phone, played the Cha Cha dance music called “Surprise”, and then hugged Luo Yulin and twisted to the rhythm.

When Lucy saw it, she immediately went crazy and started dancing too.

Lin Xu, who was putting the second batch of chrysanthemum cakes in the oven, saw this situation and quickly asked a few people to go out:

“No noise in the kitchen, that’s the rule. If you want to dance, go to the banquet hall. There’s no one there today anyway.”

Fortunately, modern society does not pay so much attention to things, and Lin Xu is not a stubborn person.

Otherwise, if those old masters who abide by tradition see such a scene of demons dancing around, their blood pressure will probably rise.

In the past, every year and festival, the kitchen had to honor the Stove King. Let alone making noises, even speaking loudly was not allowed. The kitchen was a very sacred place and making noises was strictly prohibited.

Shen Jiayue left the small kitchen with Luo Yulin in her arms, but instead of going upstairs to dance, she came downstairs and put the little girl on the counter. Dundun, who was sleeping, saw her little cousin coming and immediately got out of the small room.

When Luo Yulin saw Dundun, he immediately babbled and said a series of “baby words” that were completely incomprehensible, and Dundun also babbled, and the cat and the cat started talking to each other.

Shen Jiayue took a video with her mobile phone and posted it online:

“Haha, when Dundun saw her little cousin, she immediately transformed into a warm-hearted brother to greet her and ask her for her welfare. She is so loving!”

In fact, she couldn’t understand a word, and she didn’t even know the logic of this person’s behavior, but it didn’t matter if she didn’t understand, she could just pretend to understand.

Just by this title, anyone who reads it will think of her as an eighth-level meow whisperer.

Soon, netizens also commented:

“Come on, come on, the latest evidence of cats treating human cubs tenderly!”

“It is well-behaved and sensible in front of the elderly, gentle and considerate in front of the cubs, but in front of adults, it will only stretch out its sharp claws.”

“I’m crying to death. My cat scratched my arm several times with bloody marks, but this idiot is willing to be carried around by my sister and he’s not angry at all.”

“My cat is the same. He is considerate and loving towards my children, but he is merciless towards my husband. His claws are decisive and swift.”

“Dundun’s eyes are so gentle. This little baby is so adorable.”

“I don’t know which one I should envy for a moment. If Dundun could be so gentle to me once, I would be willing to lose forty pounds of meat immediately.”

“My day, what are you daydreaming about upstairs?”

The service desk was too dangerous and there were many people coming and going, so Shen Jiayue and Shi Wenqing carried Luo Yulin and Dundun to the banquet hall. Shu Yun and Xiao Dong had already moved the tables here and spread them with crawling mats. .

As soon as Dundun came over, he rolled on the mat, and then crawled on it with Luo Yulin. Occasionally, the brother and sister would touch their heads and make a cute moo.

In the small kitchen downstairs, Lin Xu saw that there was still some distance before lunch, so he opened the puff pastry again, mixed the water and oil noodles, and mixed some fillings with preserved fruits, preparing to make more chrysanthemum puff pastry.

But this time he didn’t make it himself. Instead, he brought all the pastries, fillings, and water-oil noodles to the pastry department and asked the people inside to help make them.

With so many people working together, the efficiency will naturally become very high.

Moreover, the pastry department has an automatic lifting fryer, just like the automatic hot pot. The rectangular fryer is equipped with a rectangular frying basket, which can be raised by pressing a button, and can fry dishes in large quantities.

A pot of deep-fried chrysanthemum cakes is basically enough for everyone to enjoy.

With nothing to do, Lin Xu took a white onion, cut off the head, removed the dry skin on the outside, then cut diagonally to the end, cutting the onion into many segments, but the root of the onion was still connected.

After cutting, shake off the onion wedges, dip them into the whole egg batter, and fry them in the oil pan.

He made two flavors, one sweet, the one sprinkled with sugar when it comes out of the pan, and the other salty, where salt and chili powder are added to the batter, and some dried chili peppers are sprinkled on it when it comes out of the pan.

Once everything is done, it’s almost time for lunch.

Today’s lunch is spicy and sour pork slices soup with steamed dumplings made of dead noodles, and some side dishes.

But the most attractive thing is still the chrysanthemum cakes neatly arranged on the tray, with attractive color and fragrance.

Wei Gan said:

“Today, the boss specially added chrysanthemum cakes as an after-dinner snack for everyone. This was a snack at the 1972 Hangzhou state banquet. Two for each person. If you like it, you can make it next time.”

When they heard that there were two per person, the employees were very happy.

In front of the booth not far away, there were several plates of steamed dumplings and chrysanthemum cakes made with onions. Lin Xu brought several bowls of meat soup on a tray and placed them one by one on the table.

In the corner of the booth, Luo Yulin was playing with Dundun in his arms. He didn’t know what the adults were doing, but he just subconsciously said wow, wow, feeling that the adults were not paying attention to him.

Shi Wenqing dipped a steamed dumpling in the chili oil and put it into his mouth. He couldn’t help but be stunned when he tasted the filling:

“Wow, what kind of stuffing is this? Isn’t it too fresh?”

Today’s steamed dumplings are stuffed with chives, eggs and shrimps. When preparing the fillings, Sanhe oil, made from lard, chicken oil and shrimp oil, is added. The aroma and umami are very rich.

Paired with chewy dumpling wrappers, it’s indescribably delicious.

Eat a steamed dumpling and then take a sip of the old-fashioned meat soup made with tenderloin, fungus, day lily, shiitake mushrooms and other ingredients, and you will immediately feel comfortable all over.

The cost of this kind of meal is not high, and it is not difficult to make, but because it uses real ingredients, it is very enjoyable to eat.

Especially the steamed dumplings, whether they are served with garlic, chili oil, or light soy sauce, they all taste great.

Zeng Xiaoqi, who had been busy in the company all morning, took a sip of meat slice soup and said with emotion:

“I still enjoy eating this kind of home-cooked food. I will have another bowl later to make up for all the food I didn’t eat during May Day.”

Chen Yuanyuan looked at her eating appearance and couldn’t help but said:

“During those few days of traveling, were you two hungry all the way?”

“That’s not true. It’s just that the food we eat is not as delicious as Lin Ji’s. We even went to eat mud diced in Beihai because of its reputation. The taste is very fresh, but it feels like it has not been cleaned well and tastes gritty.”

For someone with a big personality, this may not be a big deal.

But Zeng Xiaoqi is a food program producer and the director of a state banquet documentary. She is used to seeing all kinds of high-end food. When she suddenly eats a meal with such mistakes in details, all the shortcomings will be magnified unconsciously.

Relatively speaking, Lin Ji’s food is stable, and it feels more or less like home.

While eating, Qi Siming came.

Zeng Xiaoqi didn’t go to work in the afternoon and planned to go to the Ginkgo Garden, so Qi Siming came over early, but instead of riding a motorcycle, he drove his father Qi Zhentao’s Volvo S90.

There were various gifts bought for Zeng Xiaoqi’s parents in the car, and she also wanted to discuss the engagement.

Although the parents of both parties had met before, and Qi Zhentao would go to the Ginkgo Garden to smoke a cigarette and chat with Lao Zeng when he had nothing to do, the two families never got engaged.

It’s not that he dislikes the other party, but that his great-father always feels that his daughter has climbed to the top of the capital, and is afraid that the Qi family will regret it, so he wants the other party to consider it more.

Now a few months have passed, and Zeng Xiaoqi has been spending the whole day with Qi Siming.

Qi Zhentao was worried that if he didn’t get engaged, his daughter-in-law would stop growing pregnant, so he took the initiative to talk to his great-father and great-mother. Today, Qi Siming was just standing by, and tomorrow Qi Zhentao and his wife would officially go to the Ginkgo Garden to talk face to face.

The Qi family has no shortage of cars and houses, otherwise Qi Siming would not have been allowed to spend 500,000 to 600,000 yuan to buy a toy motorcycle.

“Have you eaten yet, Master Qi? You can try the steamed dumplings we made today and help us check them.”

Niu Chuang saw Qi Siming coming and greeted him warmly.

Since classmate Xiao Qi showed his skills to everyone last time, everyone in the pastry department has regarded him as a goal and learning object.

Especially Niu Chuang. He is big, strong and powerful, and is naturally suitable for criminal cases. Now he lacks technical training, which is Qi Siming’s strength, so Niu Chuang took the initiative to say hello and wanted to find an opportunity to ask Qi Siming for advice. .

Qi Siming came here after dinner, but when he saw everyone eating, he didn’t refuse:

“Okay, I just haven’t eaten enough and I want to eat more.”

He sat down, tasted the steamed dumplings, and chatted casually with everyone.

Shi Wenqing touched Zeng Xiaoqi and asked in a low voice:

“You’re getting engaged? Congratulations. Get married quickly and have a child. This way, our Luo Yulin will have someone to play with.”

Zeng Xiaoqi said with a smile:

“It’s easy to want a playmate, just have a second child, right?”

“Oh, I’m not going to have a baby. The cost of raising a child is so high nowadays. It starts at least five million. If you want to study abroad, it will be a bottomless pit. Let’s forget it. With this money, we still want to go out and live a life.”

Zeng Xiaoqi looked at Shen Jiayue and asked:

“When are you going to have a baby?”

Shen Jiayue shrugged:

“I don’t have this plan for the time being. I think many families put aside their first child when they want a second child. Even if we want a child, we have to ask for Dundun’s opinion. The eldest son’s opinion is the most important.”

Shen Jiayue said similar things in the past, but everyone took it as a joke.

But today, when she said it solemnly, Dundun, who was playing with Luo Yulin, immediately stood up and rubbed her mother, her eyes full of emotion.

Many people claim that cats are family members, but in the end they are just pets or even playthings.

Shen Jiayue and Lin Xu have never been like this and have always regarded Dundun as family.

The little guy used to feel that it was his lucky ability that maintained the whole family, but now, he feels that having such a family is his greatest luck!
