Stop pretending, I am the God of Cooking and I am showing off my cards! - Chapter 824
c824 Super delicious peacock fins! Strange, what’s wrong with the system?
“I really can’t bear to eat it!”
In the small kitchen, Shen Jiayue sat in front of the graceful peacock shark’s fin and couldn’t help but sigh.
I was full of anticipation when I wasn’t eating, but now that I’m raising my chopsticks, I can’t bear to part with it.
Such a beautiful peacock, let alone eating it, even moving the chopsticks will destroy the overall beauty.
However, just watching is not enough during the tasting session. Shen Jiayue raised her chopsticks and first took a rape leaf from the peacock’s neck and put it into her mouth.
This rapeseed leaf has been blanched with chicken oil, green onion and ginger stock, and then topped with stock. The taste is naturally good. The soft and tender leaves and slightly crispy stems are very delicious, and the stock on the surface makes the vegetable leaves a little richer. Moisturizing and fragrant.
“Wow, the leaves alone are so delicious, other vegetables are so delicious.”
Shen Jiayue sighed and picked up a cucumber slice decorated with feathers. There was yellow cake on the cucumber, Jinhua ham on the cake, and two layers of chicken breast paste in the middle.
Put it into your mouth and take a bite. The cucumber is fresh and crisp, the cake is delicate and tender, and the ham is delicious and soft.
It’s so wonderful that you can taste so many different flavors in one bite!
Shen Jiayue said to the camera:
“This is super delicious. It’s so delicious. You can even eat the mushy chicken mixed in the middle. I originally ate shark’s fin, but before I even touched the shark’s fin, I was fascinated by the rapeseed and cucumber slices garnished with it. ”
The food is delicious and very satisfying to eat, but just eating it is not enough. After all, this is peacock shark fin, so it would be unreasonable not to eat some shark fin.
Shen Jiayue ate the cucumber slices and carefully picked up a chopstick of shark fin.
This kind of food similar to vermicelli has a smooth taste in the mouth. It has the moist feeling of animal fat and the unique smoothness of colloid, making it particularly comfortable to eat.
“Wow, this shark’s fin really surprised me. It’s more delicious than I imagined. Friends who like to do it must try this dish at home. It’s super delicious and addictive. I can’t stop eating it!”
Shen Jiayue talked happily to the camera about her feelings, and also called on everyone to start making it. Those who didn’t know it thought it was such a simple dish.
She took two more bites, and Lin Xu pressed the stop button on the camera.
Turning off all the cameras, Shen Jiayue couldn’t help but said to Xie Baomin:
“Senior brother, your skills are so good. You can actually make such delicious and delicious dishes. It’s beyond imagination.”
Xie Baomin smiled and waved his hand:
“This is actually a variation of the three-strand shark’s fin. The main thing is the presentation, and not much else.”
Lin Xu finished playing with the camera and tasted the shark fin. It tasted really good.
Shen Jiayue specially sent a message to Shu Yun, asking her to come and eat together. This kind of delicious food is not usually available, so everyone should try it.
Soon, Shu Yun led Song Tiantian, Xiaodong and Wei Qian in.
“Hey, Chef Xie made peacock shark’s fin? You haven’t made this dish for several years, right?”
Shu Yun remembered that the last time he ate this dish was when he first joined Building No. 2. He didn’t expect to taste it again in Linji a few years later.
Xie Baomin said with a smile:
“It’s true that I haven’t cooked it for several years. If Master hadn’t mentioned it, I would have even forgotten this dish…”
Shen Jiayue was shocked when she heard this. She hadn’t done it in several years and it was so perfect. If she had to practice it regularly, she wouldn’t be able to break through the limits of gourmet food.
Lin Xu took two more bites and then put down his chopsticks.
In terms of taste, this is a variant of three-threaded shark’s fin, but because the cooking method is slightly different and the presentation is completely different, it has a better texture and taste than the three-threaded shark’s fin, making it unforgettable once you eat it.
He plans to practice it when he is not busy to see if he can reproduce it. If there is an important banquet in the future, he can make it to entertain everyone.
Wei Gan took a taste and couldn’t help but admired:
“It tastes really good, has a good texture, and goes well together. The shark fin is really amazing.”
If it weren’t for the fact that this dish couldn’t be priced and it was super troublesome, he would even suggest that Lin Xu launch a new wave in the store. When the time comes, it will be limited in supply and customers will definitely rush to buy it.
After everyone had a few bites, Shu Yun took it outside and let the chefs and waiters who were not busy come and taste it.
It was almost noon now, and Lin Xu asked Xie Baomin:
“Why don’t you go back today at noon and just eat in the store.”
“Okay, I’ll contact Lao Dai first. He’s going to visit a steamed stuffed bun restaurant in the morning. Let’s have lunch together at Linji later. After eating, we’re going to jointly visit He Jiashun’s restaurant in the afternoon. Promote your own store.”
Although they insist on not advertising food and beverages, they can still promote them in a subtle way. For example, the food at He Jiashun’s restaurant is indeed not exquisite enough, especially compared with Linji and Yanjing Hotel Diaoyutai, it is somewhat less interesting.
But looking at the whole capital, it is still very good. There is no IQ tax, and there is no such nonsense. It is a traditional Beijing-style restaurant, and some old dishes are still worth tasting.
Lao Xie took his mobile phone and called Dai Jianli and asked curiously:
“Why haven’t you come back yet? Has he been detained?”
Dai Jianli replied:
“Business at the steamed stuffed bun shop is booming, so we didn’t get in line. We are currently filming at Ziqiang Shengjian’s stuffing processing factory. Today, the company received a promotional video for Ziqiang Shengjian. I plan to come over and explore it, as a gift to Ziqiang Shengjian. Promotion is a warm-up.”
Promotion of Ziqiang Shengjian?
Lin Xu was a little curious, why didn’t he hear anything about this?
He glanced at Shen Jiayue:
“Sister Yuanyuan is promoting Ziqiang Shengjian?”
“I don’t know either. Didn’t she say that just riding on the popularity of Lin Ji is enough and there is no need to promote it?”
Chen Yuanyuan has been riding on the popularity of Linji from the beginning. For example, last time Lin Xu announced that Linji Food would not participate in any rating activities, and Ziqiang Shengjian followed up with a series of serious statements, which made countless netizens burst into laughter. .
You’re a seller of fried soy milk, why are you joining in the fun?
However, the promotion was very effective. Many people took the subway to Haidian just to taste Ziqiang Shengjian, which was rejected by Michelin and Black Diamond restaurants. Is it really capable or just ridiculous?
Since then, Ziqiang Shengjian has started a career of popularity.
Linji Gourmet launched a winter warm-up package, and Ziqiang Shengjian followed suit and launched a heart-warming campaign.
The official account of Linji Food promoted the new roast duck, and the official account of Ziqiang Shengjian posed the pancake as a duck for photos.
Even though the trailer for the state banquet documentary was uploaded a few days ago, Ziqiang Shengjian also took the initiative to say:
“Although our pan-fried pancakes have not been served at state banquets, our production process and the seriousness of our chefs are definitely state banquet-level. If you don’t believe me, buy one and try it!”
Every time a similar advertisement is posted, netizens can’t help but join in the fun:
“Aqiang, you are taking advantage of others’ popularity again!”
The official Weibo immediately replied:
“Can we call it a businessman’s business?”
It’s hard to imagine that a company that likes to play tricks would take the initiative to spend money on promotion.
Shen Jiayue sent a message to Chen Yan, asking about the promotion. She did not take the initiative to ask Chen Yuanyuan, because if she asked rashly, it would be easy for Sister Yuanyuan to think that the two parties did not trust each other enough.
So first ask Chen Yan to see what’s going on.
Soon, Chen Yan replied:
“It was Cai Sen’s mother who spent money on promotion. She felt that the development of her daughter-in-law’s business was too slow, so she wanted to speed up Ziqiang Shengjian. She spent over one million on promotion. This was just the beginning. There will be more comprehensive promotion later. What’s the means?”
Cai Sen’s mother didn’t plan to ask Chen Yan for promotion at first, but wanted to secretly surprise her daughter-in-law.
But Cai Sen felt that if the money was given to other companies, it might be deceived with fake data, so he simply let Happy Media do the promotion. They are good at online promotion and they are real relatives, so he felt more at ease with it.
Shen Jiayue showed Lin Xu the message Chen Yan replied, and then asked:
“Does Sister Yuanyuan know about this?”
“I just told her that if you don’t tell her, it won’t work. If the promotion becomes popular and the store doesn’t have enough goods, you won’t be able to make money.”
Since Sister Yuanyuan knows, it’s okay.
Lin Xu put his thoughts aside and went to the big kitchen with Xie Baomin.
Today’s lunch is very simple, braised pig tails, minced pork yuba, garlic-cooked lettuce, and a pot of egg, loofah and shrimp soup to go.
The pig tails were sent by Lao Hu. He went to the slaughterhouse to buy pork and saw dozens of kilograms of pig tails. Thinking that Lin Xu liked to eat such rare things, he sent them all over.
There are too many pig tails to finish in one meal, so today’s meal is half done.
Xie Baomin smelled it in front of the casserole where pig tails were stewed and said:
“Just add fermented bean curd. Pig tails have a strong smell and have many bones, so you need to add some fermented bean curd to make them delicious.”
After looking around, Lao Xie rolled up his sleeves, mixed some pork stuffing, fried them into meatballs, and then added dark soy sauce, onion, ginger and other ingredients to make roasted meatballs, a common delicacy in Beijing.
After it was done, it was almost lunch time.
Lin Xu poured the stewed pig tails into two large basins. Everyone could eat as much as they wanted, no limit.
He filled up a small bowl of pig tails, a plate of roasted meatballs, a plate of minced meat and yuba, a large plate of garlic-cooked lettuce and a bowl of egg, luffa and shrimp soup, and several bowls of rice, and sat down with Shen Jiayue, Xie Baomin and others. Come down and start having lunch.
The braised pig tail is well done, the skin has a certain chewiness, but the meat is quite off the bone, and with the salty flavor, it tastes particularly good with rice.
Pig tails have many joints and are all brittle bones, so after eating the outer skin of the meat, you need to eat the brittle bones one by one, and then take a bite of rice after eating, which is very enjoyable.
But the most delicious part is the root of the tail. The meat here is thick, including lean meat that appears delicate due to long-term activity, and fat meat caused by fat accumulation.
After one bite, the lean meat is mixed with fat. The satisfying feeling is so satisfying.
As for the shrimp roe tofu, it is also very delicious. The tofu is first fried until the surface is brown, and then simmered in stock for a few minutes. Finally, a spoonful of shrimp roe is added, and simmered for a while, the umami flavor of the shrimp roe is completely immersed in the tofu.
Pick up a piece and put it into your mouth. The delicious taste mixed with the strong aroma of lard makes people subconsciously take a mouthful of rice.
Shen Jiayue held the bowl and ate happily:
“Xubao, I’m going to drive Dundun, Lele and Tongtong to the Ginkgo Garden to play with Xiaobai in the afternoon. Do you need us to bring any ingredients?”
There are quite a lot of ingredients in the Ginkgo Garden now. The free-range chickens fed with grain, the ducks growing in the river, and various fish in the pond are all excellent ingredients.
Lin Xu thought for a while and said:
“There’s nothing to take with you. We have some over there as well.”
But thinking that the duck he saw last time was quite fat, he said:
“Why don’t you bring back a duck and a chicken? Bring some lotus leaves, make some lotus leaf porridge, and steam a chicken with lotus leaves. In the past, I always ate chicken steamed with dried lotus leaves. Today I will try fresh lotus leaves.” How are the leaves steamed?”
Xie Baomin took a sip of loofah soup and said:
“Fresh lotus leaf steamed chicken is still very good, but you need to marinate the chicken before steaming, and the chicken pieces should not be too big. The most important thing is that the chicken wrapped in lotus leaves should be steamed in a plate with good heat conduction, otherwise It’s not easy to steam through.”
Dried lotus leaves are tough and can be steamed directly on the grate. No matter how long they are steamed, the lotus leaves will not break.
But fresh lotus leaves will not work. Steaming the leaves directly on the grate will easily break. Not only will the umami flavor be dissipated in advance, but the meat juice inside will also drip out, causing the dish to taste bad. Therefore, it is best to put a plate on it. Aluminum plate with good thermal conductivity.
Lin Xu held the pig’s tail between his legs and took a bite:
“Thanks for the reminder, senior brother. I’ll try it this afternoon when I’m cooking… By the way, why aren’t my sister-in-law, Xie Yufei and Xie Yuhang here today?”
Xie Baomin said:
“My wife, my two children, and my sister-in-law went to Universal Studios to play. I was too lazy to go, so I came to see you.”
Oh, my wife also has a hobby of visiting movie theaters.
Lin Xu asked:
“What about Master? Master didn’t go?”
“Master followed Mr. Guo to Yangcheng yesterday. It seems that he wants to copy all the old recipes in the Cantonese Cuisine Museum and use them as teaching materials in your school… Others are also preparing teaching materials and strive to make the cooking school a part of our circle. Whampoa Military Academy.”
The old gentlemen don’t have to worry about food or clothing. They don’t lack anything materially. They just want to pass on their skills. Now that there is a cooking school, everyone is very enthusiastic.
Lin Xu took a mouthful of rice and sighed:
“The dedication of these old men really makes me don’t know what to say.”
Xie Baomin smiled:
“Don’t think so. You provide them with a stage to shine, and they are very grateful to you… In the past, the Culinary Association also established schools, but because they focused too much on technology and ignored the needs of the market, they trained some people who only knew how to cook. The master of Wensi Tofu… Wensi Tofu is not delicious, but how many people in the restaurant would order this kind of dish?”
While the two brothers were chatting, Dai Jianli came.
He originally wanted to have lunch at the factory, but he felt it would be inappropriate to disturb him too much, so he and the photographer took off the protective clothing provided by the factory and drove to Yingchun Street.
Seeing the braised pig tails that everyone was eating, Lao Dai immediately grinned:
“It’s a coincidence. What we had at the factory today was also pig tail, but it was braised. It smells spicy. It should be very satisfying.”
Lin Xu had previously stipulated that all employees, regardless of their position, must eat and drink well.
In the past, when they were processing fillings on the logistics street, they were always too busy to take care of eating, so now the new factory has specially built a canteen for workers, with heating in winter and air conditioning in summer.
Only by eating well and drinking well can everyone devote themselves to work more enthusiastically.
After lunch, Xie Baomin and Dai Jianli went to He Jiashun’s hotel to shoot a video of the visit. Shen Jiayue drove to the ginkgo garden with Geng Lele, Xiao Dundun and Xiao Tongtong, whose front teeth had grown out.
Tongtong also took a painting that looked like a giraffe and planned to show it to Xiaobai. This was her painting of Xiaobai. The teacher gave her a high mark and commented that the giraffe painting was good.
Today Tongtong is looking for Xiaobai to comment. This is obviously a portrait of Xiaobai, but everyone says it is a giraffe.
In the car, Tongtong sat in the narrow back seat, holding up the painting in her hand and asked:
“Dundun, if you speak from the bottom of your heart, isn’t this Xiaobai?”
Dundun took a look at the portrait and remembered an idiom he learned last year when he and Ren Chongmo were taking pictures of the origin of text – referring to a deer as a horse.
Geng Lele in the passenger seat said:
“Tongtong, why don’t you just change your name to Zhao Gao, so that it will be reasonable for you to call a deer a horse.”
“You guys are so annoying. I’m clearly drawing a horse… I’ll let Xiaobai see it later. He will definitely recognize it and like it very much.”
Shen Jiayue said while driving:
“Don’t just play around and forget what’s important today. A chicken, a duck, and a few fresh lotus leaves… If you want to eat anything else, you can bring it. We are going to hunt today.”
Upon hearing this, Dundun immediately crawled on the back seat and made a hunting motion.
Tongtong immediately became energetic when she saw it:
“Wow, Dundun looks like a little leopard. I want to draw it and give it to Dundun as a gift.”
Dundun: “…”
I accept it with good intentions, but I always feel that I will be painted like a thin dog by you.
In the store, Lin Xu greeted the customers who came to eat, and then met Brother Qiang who came to have lunch at the stairs. After seeing Lin Xu, he immediately walked aside and asked in a low voice:
“Boss Lin, can you sell me two bottles of vinegar in your store? I’ve been having late-night snacks lately, and I always feel a bit embarrassed if I don’t order vinegar. Even Panpan has become addicted to it after me. Now I have to put everything in the bowl no matter what I eat. Put some vinegar in it.”
When he said this, Panda next to him also said:
“Yes, yes, the vinegar in the store is really good, especially when cooking instant noodles at night. If you have some vinegar, it will be a killer.”
Lin Xu looked at Panda who had lost weight and asked:
“How dare you eat instant noodles at night?”
Panda immediately twisted a few times:
“Why don’t you cook for our Mr. Wu? People say girls are not good at cooking, so naturally I will do this kind of job.”
The two people’s suggestions reminded Lin Xu of a plan that had never been implemented before – selling seasonings.
The conventional seasoning market is saturated, but some special seasonings, such as soy vinegar, replica soy sauce, soy sauce, sugar color, ginger juice, salt and pepper, all-purpose pickle juice, all-purpose kimchi juice, all-purpose noodle sauce, dry dish dipping sauce, scallion oil, Various condiments commonly used in stores, such as garlic sauce, sweet chili sauce, and sweet noodle sauce, are available on the market, but the quality is far inferior to Lin Kee’s.
If it were launched under the name Lin Kee Food, it might even be a hit.
But in this case, a new seasoning factory will have to be opened to specialize in production… This also involves investment issues.
Both schools and branches require a lot of money. If we invest in a seasoning factory, would it be too big a step?
While he was thinking about it, Dundun, who was far away in the Ginkgo Garden, turned his ears, looked in the direction of Yingchun Street, and moved his tail slightly.
Soon, the system prompt sounded in Lin Xu’s mind:
“The host is very ambitious and keen on business investment. He is specially rewarded with perfect commercial seasoning techniques. You can claim it by opening a seasoning factory within one month. No waiting after the expiration date!”
Lin Xu: “!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
My day, has the system been taken over by Dundun? Why did you suddenly become so considerate?
