Stop pretending, I am the God of Cooking and I am showing off my cards! - Chapter 825

c825 Tongtong: My heart is so tired, I feel like I will never love again! Forest

“It’s easy to be jealous. I’ll give each of you a bottle later.”

After Lin Xu made a promise to Brother Qiang and Panda, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Dou Wenjing:

“Come early for dinner, I have a new plan here that I want to tell you about.”

Since there are rewards, don’t hesitate, open the factory first and get the rewards first.

Fortunately, not many people use condiments such as soy vinegar, and only those who are interested in cooking but are too lazy to bother buying them. It is considered a niche product among condiments, so the factory does not need to be large and does not require investment. How much.

Overall, it is estimated that it is less than one million. With such an investment, there is no need to ask others to participate, and even the company’s money does not need to be touched. Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue only have so much pocket money.

“Okay boss, I’ll be back in the store before five o’clock.”

Dou Wenjing quickly replied to the message. Although she was curious about what the plan was, she didn’t ask. She would find out later during dinner.

After sending the message, Lin Xu went back upstairs and asked the chef to fill two bottles of vinegar for Brother Qiang and Panda, then set up the wok and started cooking.

In the ginkgo garden, Tongtong held up the painting in her hand and approached Xiaobai with enthusiasm:

“Xiaobai Xiaobai, look at the portrait I drew for you, it looks exactly like you!”

But Xiaobai stared at it for a few seconds, and suddenly Sayazi ran away. Tongtong couldn’t catch up with it, so she curiously asked the keeper next to her:

“Why did it run away?”

The breeder was the one who sent Xiaobai to the ginkgo garden. The treatment here was good, so he stayed. He looked at Tongtong’s painting and couldn’t help but smile and said:

“Xiaobai used to provoke a giraffe at the animal breeding center, and was thrown far away by the deer’s head. When it saw your painting, it probably thought of the scene of being ravaged… Don’t tell me, this giraffe is very well painted. Look, kid, you are very talented in painting, maybe you can become a painter when you grow up.”

Tongtong was too lazy to explain. At the age of seven, she just felt a little tired.

Shen Jiayue and Geng Lele laughed heartlessly on the sidelines. Instead of having any sympathy for this member of the sand sculpture team, they took the opportunity to add insult to injury.

Tongtong specially brought a small drawing board here today, intending to draw a picture for the second prince, but at this time, the little Zhao Gao, who pretended to be a deer, had lost his enthusiasm for painting.

Geng Lele opened her drawing board, clamped the drawing paper, and started drawing on it with a sketch pencil. While drawing, she said to Tongtong:

“Painting must pay attention to the proportion of the head and body. Only when the proportion is correct can the painting look lifelike.”

Tongtong originally wanted to retort, but when she saw Sister Lele casually tracing a few strokes, a tall and handsome horse appeared on the drawing paper, she couldn’t help but exclaimed:

“Wow, sister Lele, how did you do it?”

Geng Lele continued to draw:

“My grandfather is also a well-known calligrapher and painter. Isn’t it normal for me to be able to draw? When I was in junior high school, my art teacher always encouraged me to specialize in art. He also said that with my talent, I would definitely be admitted to the Central Academy of Fine Arts. ”

Shen Jiayue was a little surprised:

“Then why didn’t you learn?”

“I checked and found that there are not many people in the art field who are not crazy. They cut off ears, commit suicide, and drink alcohol… I was worried that I would become a crazy woman, so I rejected the proposal.”

Tongtong looked at the horse on the drawing paper and muttered curiously:

“Your grandpa is a calligrapher and painter, so you are good at painting. Then my grandpa runs a supermarket. Why do I always get my arithmetic questions wrong?”

The girl looked around furtively and asked in a low voice:

“Do you think I am not my mother’s biological child?”

Geng Lele patted her head gently:

“What are you thinking about every day, you little kid? Be more serious about your questions from now on. I will give you some papers when you are not busy. Do them carefully. When you finish, you will find that addition and subtraction are not a problem at all.”

Tongtong raised her head and asked:

“Sister Lele, are addition and subtraction the most difficult tasks in mathematics?”

“Yeah, it’s much more difficult than advanced mathematics, calculus, etc. It took me several weeks to learn it when I was a kid.”

Shen Jiayue blinked: “…”

You should stay away from this girl Lele in the future, otherwise it will be easy for her to break your defense.

Soon, a tall and handsome horse was drawn. It looked a bit like the Akhal Te golden horse that Lin Xu rode in the advertisement at Yinzhou Racecourse.

Tongtong asked:

“Is this Xiaobai?”

“No, this is Xiaobai’s imagination of himself… Just like men always imagine themselves to be handsome guys and women always imagine themselves to be beautiful women, little ponies will also imagine themselves to be majestic tall horses.”

Tongtong rolled her eyes and hugged Dundun:

“What about Dundun? What does it imagine itself to be? Cerebellar axe?”

Dundun broke away from the little girl’s arms in disgust. This cat is extremely talented, how can it be compared to those little tigers?

Putting away the drawing board, several people started to pick lotus leaves.

Speaking of picking, I just watched Shang Weixing rowing in the boat and picking off the big and round lotus leaves inside. After picking four or five leaves, Lao Shang came out in the boat.

He handed the lotus leaf to Shen Jiayue and said:

“I’ll go into the water and take a look in a few days. Maybe lotus roots have started to grow down there. Then I’ll get some for you to try.”

Lotus root strips are small lotus roots about the thickness of your thumb. They are crisp, tender and very delicious.

There are relatively few such ingredients in the north, but in Hubei, this kind of delicacy is very common. Whether it is served cold, stir-fried, or marinated in red oil, the taste is outstanding.

Shen Jiayue asked:

“Is it dangerous to collect lotus roots? If it is dangerous, forget it, we can just buy some.”

“Then what’s the danger? I jumped into the water and touched the lotus roots when I was a few years old. It’s very safe. Don’t worry. What we grow ourselves is fresher than what we buy from outside.”

This thing is about catching it and eating it now. As time goes by, the freshness of the lotus root will be much less.

Therefore, although it is delicious, lotus root strips are more popular in the Lianghu area. Many people in other areas do not even know the existence of this thing.

After picking the lotus leaves, the three people and the cat followed Uncle Shang to the southwest corner and started picking chickens and ducks.

In the store, after finishing the afternoon rush hour, Lin Xu took his laptop and searched for rental prices of suburban land on the web.

He plans to rent a factory in the suburbs of the capital specifically for the production of various condiments. This type of factory cannot be located in the city, but it cannot be too far from the suburbs, otherwise it will be inconvenient to go there often.

In fact, at first he wanted to bring the seasoning factory to his hometown in Yinzhou.

Not only will the rent be cheaper, but it will also provide 10 or 20 jobs for my hometown.

Although this position is a drop in the bucket amid the unemployment wave, it can still be considered a contribution to my hometown.

Unfortunately, the production of this kind of seasoning requires him to go there frequently, and each batch must be carefully tasted and inspected to avoid selling fake and inferior products. In this case, it is a bit inappropriate to open the factory in his hometown.

He thought about it and decided to wait until the technology of the seasoning factory matures. If it can be done by then, he can go back to his hometown and open a large factory with hundreds of people, and maybe it can become a leading local company.

Nowadays, such micro-enterprises should slowly take off in the suburbs of Beijing.

Lin Xu looked around and found that either the factory was too big or too far away. In desperation, he called Wang Ziqiang on his mobile phone:

“Are there any idle factories near the stuffing factory?”

Wang Ziqiang said:

“Yes, the snack factory next door closed two days ago and the equipment was sold. The boss seems to be returning to his hometown to invest in B&Bs. The popularity of B&Bs during May Day made him see business opportunities and planned to give it a try.”

The snack factory next door?

Lin Xu patted his head and remembered that when the stuffing factory first opened, there was indeed a dim sum factory next door. It was small in area and produced Chinese dim sum, which was specially supplied to dim sum shops in the urban area.

The boss of the snack factory is also a young man, about 24 or 25 years old, quite handsome. Chen Yan even planned to introduce him to Shu Yun, but unexpectedly he suddenly quit and returned to his hometown to open a B&B.

This crossover is not much lower than Zhen Wensheng’s crossover.

Lin Xu said:

“Master Wang, if you’re not busy, please help me ask how much the rent is for the dim sum factory next door. I plan to rent it and do some small projects.”

“Okay, I’ll call the landlord later and ask. The pastry factory is small and is still an empty shell. It probably won’t cost much.”

At four o’clock in the afternoon, Shen Jiayue drove Geng Lele, Tongtong, and Dundun together from the Ginkgo Garden.

In addition to the lotus leaves, roosters, and fat ducks that Lin Xu asked to bring, he also brought some eels, loaches and other foods that Dundun likes to eat.

“Haha, we are fat!”

Shen Jiayue came upstairs with the ingredients and sent them directly to the small kitchen:

“Will you do well in the small kitchen later? I want to learn… Yes, yes, Uncle Shang also cleaned the internal organs of chickens and ducks and asked me to bring them over. He said they can be stir-fried and eaten. They are very delicious.”

Stir-fried chicken and duck are indeed delicious, there is no doubt about it.

Lin Xugang finished editing the video of peacock shark fin, and he said while previewing:

“I uploaded the video and started making it… By the way, baby, today Brother Qiang and Panda both want to buy soy vinegar from our store. I plan to open a seasoning factory. What do you think?”

Although Shen Jiayue usually doesn’t care about these things, they are a couple after all and they need to seek the opinions of their other half.

Shen Jiayue asked:

“How much does it cost to open a seasoning factory?”

“Several hundred thousand. According to the scale I envision, hundreds of thousands is enough.”

Shen Jiayue waved her hand:

“Don’t tell me if you spend less than one million in the future. I’m so busy that I can’t take care of such small things.”

Tsk, this is naughty again.

Lin Xu pinched the girl’s cheek, logged in to his account and chose to upload.

Soon, the video was successfully uploaded and as soon as it appeared in the update list, netizens were attracted by the peacock that appeared in the video.

“Let me go, Boss Lin actually filmed a video with Chef Xie?”

“This is a powerful alliance. Like it first and then read it. Make it a habit!”

“Peacock shark’s fin? Sure enough, these two brothers will cause trouble when they get together, but I like it!”

“Master UP, you haven’t updated it for thirty seconds. The production team’s donkeys can’t rest like this. Please update it quickly.”

“Manual Aite Gambling Drug Brother, although I haven’t watched the video yet, I strongly urge you to copy this peacock shark’s fin.”

“It’s really not a big deal for you to watch the excitement upstairs. The gambling and drug addict is so busy, can’t you let him repeat the wedding banquet and fish banquet last time?”

“I knew after just one glance that this is not what my mother can do. I hope there will be more of what my mother can do. I am still waiting to taste it.”

“After a quick preview, there is still no Dundun appearing in this issue.”

“Haha, I went to the Ginkgo Garden for dinner at noon and ran into Dundun. He stepped on Xiaobai’s back, looking so proud.”

“…”

The netizens were chatting lively, and Lin Xu had already arrived in the small kitchen and started preparing dinner.

He rubbed the chicken skin and duck skin with salt, cleaned them, removed the lymph nodes and trachea from the neck, plucked out the remaining hair, and then chopped them into pieces with a kitchen knife.

The chicken is used to make steamed chicken in lotus leaves, so it needs to be in small pieces, while the duck needs to be braised in lotus leaves, and the pieces should be slightly larger so that they don’t fall apart when stewed.

Shen Jiayue asked curiously:

“How do you braise duck in lotus leaves?”

“When the duck is almost ready to stew, tear off the lotus leaves and put them in, cover the pot and simmer together. The lotus leaves will absorb the excess fat on the duck, and the duck meat will have more of the fragrance of the lotus leaves, which is more suitable for eating in summer.”

Lin Xu chopped the chicken pieces, added green onion, ginger, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, black bean and chili rings cut from millet, stirred evenly, covered it with plastic wrap, and put it in the refrigerator to marinate.

My senior brother just told me at noon that steamed chicken with lotus leaves must be marinated thoroughly before putting it in the pot, otherwise the chicken will not taste good.

After finishing the chicken, Lin Xu chopped the duck into large pieces and put it on a plate. Then he prepared some old ginger and dried chili peppers. When everything was ready, he heated the oil in a pan, first put in half a spoonful of rapeseed oil, and then half a spoonful of lard. , pour the hot oil into the duck and start frying.

When making dishes such as stewed duck, frying it first will not only make the duck meat more fragrant, but also remove the peculiar smell and excess fat in the duck meat, so that the taste and texture will be better.

When doing this step, Lin Xu poured the duck and chicken giblets that Shang Weixing had cleaned into a large basin, soaked them first, and then washed them with starch later.

In the large kitchen next door, Wei Qian and Zhu Yong each took a lotus leaf and put it into the cooked rice porridge pot, and then took the casserole to the cold storage to start cooling.

The lotus leaf porridge I made last time was not enough to drink, so I made more today.

“Zhu Yong, how do you usually eat lotus leaves in your hometown?”

In the cold storage, Wei Qian asked curiously.

“Usually I make tea, porridge, steamed pork ribs and chicken nuggets, etc. Sometimes I also make fried rice.”

Pouch rice?

Wei Qian became interested when he heard this:

“This sounds interesting, how did you do it?”

“Just cook the rice until it’s eighty-cooked, take it out and drain it, mix it with marinated meat, ribs, etc., pack it with fresh lotus leaves, put it in a pot and steam it for half an hour to forty minutes. It’s ready to eat, the fragrance of lotus leaves is very strong.”

“Damn, you didn’t tell me earlier, do something better next time.”

“no problem.”

In the small kitchen, Lin Xu stir-fried the duck meat a few times. When the fat in the pot became clear and the surface of the duck skin turned brown, it meant that the heat was almost done.

He put in the prepared dried chili peppers, red pickled peppers and other ingredients, stir-fried them until fragrant, then added some soy sauce along the edge of the pot, poured in boiling water that covered the duck pieces, covered the pot and started simmering.

To cook the duck, clean the duck and chicken offal, cut all the chicken intestines, duck intestines, chicken livers, duck livers, chicken gizzards, duck gizzards and other ingredients, marinate them with light soy sauce and other condiments, and then scoop out a spoonful of Jin Shangwen sent me Jiangxi chopped peppers, chopped millet peppers and two vitex twigs, and prepared to make a spicy chicken and duck mixed dish according to Jiangxi cuisine.

But I can’t start now, I have to wait and wait until the chicken and duck are almost ready before starting to make it.

Downstairs, Tongtong was holding a football the size of a tennis ball and playing with Dundun with great interest.

As soon as she kicked the football to the door, Dou Wenjing walked in on high heels. Tongtong quickly said hello:

“Ah, sister Jing, you are so beautiful today!”

Dou Wenjing said with a smile:

“Suddenly my enunciation became clearer. Is this because the teeth have grown in?”

“Yes, yes, you see, the master said that I can even chew ribs…”

The little girl showed off her white teeth to Dou Wenjing.

Shu Yun leaned out from the service desk and asked curiously:

“Why are you here so early today? You’re afraid that we’ll finish up the delicious food, so why don’t you come early to save a seat?”

Dou Wenjing said:

“Today is the weekend. I just sorted out the information at the company, as well as the school’s fund filing. I just watched two episodes of the TV series… The boss may have a new project, so he asked me to come over early. Otherwise I wouldn’t have come so early and would have had to watch another episode anyway.”

“What TV series is so addictive?”

“Dark Glory!”

After Dou Wenjing finished speaking, she said hello to Dundun and went upstairs on high heels.

When they got upstairs, Lin Xugang returned to the small kitchen with a large bowl of marinated pork ribs in soy sauce. When he saw Dou Wenjing coming, he waved to her, and Dou Wenjing followed her to the small kitchen.

“The ribs are brought to you. You can wrap them in lotus leaves later, put them in an aluminum plate and steam them in a pot. It will take about twenty minutes to steam… Lotus leaves can easily insulate heat, so you need more Steam for a while.”

When Shen Jiayue took the ribs and started working happily, Lin Xu told Dou Wenjing about the idea of ​​opening a seasoning factory.

Dou Wenjing originally thought that her boss was going to invest in something big, but when she heard that it was a small workshop and the investment amount was less than one million, she was relieved.

She was afraid that her boss would invest carelessly, which would eventually lead to chaos.

In modern business, there are many examples of this. After making a wave of hot money through luck, you feel you have mastered business skills, and then you rashly invest in an industry that you are not good at, only to be knocked back to your original shape.

“Do I need to open a new company to operate?”

Lin Xu thought for a while and said:

“Come on, let’s call it Dundun Seasoning. By the way, has the school’s name been decided?”

The cooking school was registered a few days ago. Zhen Wensheng and others changed the name of the school again and again. They always felt that it was not elegant enough and lacked the style of teaching and educating people. Lin Xu didn’t bother much.

Dou Wenjing said:

“It’s confirmed, it’s called Yanjing Culinary Tourism Management Technology Training School. The mascot is Dundun, and the school LOGO was made with Lele’s help. It also has elements of Dundun…”

As long as there are elements of Dun Dun, the school will be stable.

Everyone originally had a dispute about the name of the school, but they didn’t expect to take a step back and use the name directly as Yanjing City. This is a good idea. Those who didn’t know it thought it was a public school.

After Lin Xu finished speaking, he took out the marinated chicken pieces, poured them into the lotus leaves, folded the lotus leaves into purses, and finally sealed the lotus leaves with bamboo skewers and put them in the steaming cabinet to start steaming.

Shen Jiayue also wrapped the ribs and put them in.

Wait a little longer and the delicious food will be ready.

When Dou Wenjing saw this, she wrote it down in a memo and arranged for people to start registering the company after the employees went to work tomorrow.

After making a memo, she looked at Lin Xu and asked:

“What equipment do I need to buy? I’ll start ordering it now.”

Lin Xu thought for a while and said:

“I’ll give you a list tonight, just follow it and make the purchase. In addition, I’ll recruit a few people who have worked in the seasoning factory, preferably seasoning engineers or something like that. The salary will be higher. I plan to train them into core technical personnel.”

“Okay boss, I’ll post the recruitment online right now!”
