Two days later.
The Diaoyutai Building 2 restaurant issued an announcement:
"As Master Lin needs to represent Diaoyutai to participate in the cooking competition, he will not accept dish reservations for the time being. We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you."
Although Lin Xu's "Home" and braised pork can sell ten or twenty copies every day, for the sake of the competition and the honor of Diaoyutai, Xie Baomin still reluctantly let Lin Xu rest at home.
The competition is about to begin, so recharge your batteries.
Strive to win the championship in one fell swoop.
The folks in Diaoyutai are all looking forward to it.
Front desk.
Shu Yun looked at today's ordering records and said to Xie Baomin speechlessly:
"After Boss Lin stopped coming to work, our orders also dropped a bit."
"The less, the less. Winning the championship is the most important thing. Diaoyutai has not won any honors in these years. It is inevitable that some guys will have the illusion that Diaoyutai is easy to bully. My junior brother's mission this time is to make them sober up.
Wake up."
It's a pity that this competition has an age limit.
Otherwise, we Lao Xie will definitely let them understand what kind of dragon and tiger's den Diaoyutai is.
After saying that, Xie Baomin came to the door.
Drive a shuttle bus and slowly turn to the main road inside Diaoyutai.
After arriving at the rockery area, he turned to Building No. 15.
Just came in.
I saw Song Dahai digging the land where sugar cane was originally grown with a hoe.
"Old Song, you are not afraid of heatstroke in this hot weather. Why don't you take a break? Look at how sweaty you are."
When Song Dahai saw Xie Baomin, he immediately became furious:
"Gungungun, if you hadn't started it, the sugar cane I planted this year would have been able to produce dozens of kilograms of brown sugar... How do I know this thing like you?"
That day, he stayed in Building 2 and ate a bowl of rice based on the principle of not suffering any loss.
After eating, we walked to Building No. 15.
Walked for half an hour.
The criminal group headed by Lao Dai also toiled in his sugar cane field for half an hour.
Wait for him to come back.
There are only ten or twenty sugar canes left, and they are all not good enough for Lao Dai and others.
It made Lao Song very angry.
What made him even more angry was that the catering department bought a small cart of green sugar cane the next day.
That bastard Lao Dai also sent over unused sugar cane, saying it was not as useful as the ones purchased by the catering department. Song Dahai was so angry that he chased him for a long distance with a shovel.
Now, watch the culprit come.
Song Dahai really wanted to raise the hoe in his hand and give this guy a try.
"Why are you still angry with me? I just came and got two sticks. I got the least among all the head chefs. It's all because of Lao Dai, he's like a bandit."
Xie Baomin took two steps forward and stopped when he was within the killing range of the hoe.
"What are you plowing the ground to plant now, Lao Song? It seems like we can't plant sugar cane this season, right?"
Song Dahai wiped his sweat and continued busy:
"I'm going to plant some rapeseed or something. The land can't be left idle. Once it's idle, weeds will start to grow."
Rapeseed?
Xie Baomin suddenly became energetic.
"I'll post some photos from time to time after it grows back. I'll see if it's easy to plant. If it's easier, I'll plant some in Building 2."
Song Dahai raised his head and glanced at him:
"Why do you think you bitch is eyeing my food? Why did you come to see me today?"
Xie Baomin put away his smile and said seriously:
"On Friday morning, remember to wear your formal attire for the state banquet and go to the banquet hall in Building 1 to support my junior brother. By then all the Eighteen Arhats of Diaoyutai will be here, and we will have advantages in terms of cooking skills and group fighting."
Song Dahai: "..."
It's a good game, but from your mouth, it sounds like a gang fight?
But I did have to be there that day.
This competition is about Diaoyutai’s reputation, and we cannot let those competitors look down upon us.
Front desk of Building 2.
Shu Yun looked at the empty front desk, feeling a little nostalgic for that cute little girl from Fei Dudu.
I haven’t seen my Guaidundun for several days!
I don’t know what the little guy is doing at home. Is he wrapped in his own blanket and sleeping soundly like he did at Diaoyutai?
However, what she didn't expect was that Dundun was causing trouble at home right now.
Although his senior brother asked him to rest at home, Lin Xu couldn't take any time off. He set up an action camera and shot a video of making garlic sauce.
After filming, I felt that the content was not substantial enough.
And garlic alone is a bit unappealing to fans.
In order to make the video broadcast effect better.
He went downstairs to Uncle Yu's supermarket and bought some prawns and vermicelli, planning to make garlic vermicelli and open-back shrimp.
But after buying the shrimp.
Dundun, who was playing with a little mouse to entertain himself, suddenly rushed over and was full of curiosity about the live shrimps in the water. He first circled around and observed them carefully.
While Lin Xu was setting up filming equipment in the kitchen.
This little guy stretched out his claws and pulled a shrimp out of the basin.
Looking at the prawns jumping on the ground, I didn't know that I had touched its G-spot. When Lin Xu came out of the kitchen, half of the shrimps in the basin were lying on the ground outside.
There is water all around.
Dundun's two paws are also soaked.
The floor of the living room is covered with plum blossom-shaped footprints.
"You naughty kid..."
Lin Xu picked up the shrimps on the ground into a basin, wiped Dundun's front paws with a paper towel, and then wiped the water on the floor, then took the shrimps back to the kitchen to continue filming the video.
"I'm not even married yet, but I already feel the uneasiness of having a naughty child at home. Sure enough, after raising a cat, I no longer want to raise children..."
Soak the vermicelli in water, then clean the prawns and start making them.
Garlic vermicelli and open-back shrimp is a relatively simple dish.
The only difficulty may be the step of opening the back of the prawn, but as long as you master the trick, this step is not very difficult.
First use scissors to cut off all the tentacles of the prawns.
This will make the prawns more beautiful and more convenient to eat.
Wash the shrimp again after cutting to prevent fine shrimp tentacles from being mixed into the meat and affecting the taste.
Then start changing the knife.
Pick up a large shrimp and place it on the eucalyptus board. Use a kitchen knife to cut the back of the shrimp, but not through.
After cutting, pull out the shrimp threads, then put the shrimp back upwards and pat it twice with a kitchen knife to separate the shrimp backs to both sides along the knife edge.
This makes it easier to steam the shrimp meat and make it more delicious.
Open-back shrimp with garlic vermicelli is an easy dish to make, and there are many ways to open the back. What Lin Xu made today is relatively simple, and almost everyone can make it.
After processing the prawns one by one.
The vermicelli soaked in the basin is almost soft.
Take it out and let it drain for a while, then spread it flat on a plate.
Then put the prawns evenly on top of the vermicelli with their heads facing outward. After filling the circle, there were still a few left, so Lin Xu placed them on the small plate again.
Well, the old father can't let his children watch while he eats shrimp.
These few shrimps on the small plate can be regarded as a tooth-punching sacrifice for Dundun.
After the plating is over.
Lin Xu took the prepared garlic sauce and poured it evenly on the backs of the shrimps on the large plate.
As for Dundun’s small plate, I won’t put it away.
Cats are not suitable for eating food with seasonings.
Boil water.
After the water boils, put the plates and dishes into the steamer.
Five minutes later.
Turn off the heat and remove from the pot.
Finally, burn a little more hot oil and pour it on the garlic sauce on the back surface of the shrimp.
Done!
This dish is super easy to make.
But the taste is fresh and delicious, and it is not only delicious but also easy to eat. It is one of Lin Xu’s favorite dishes.
Bring the dishes to the table.
Set up the action camera, then peel the shrimps out for Dundun and put them in his small plate.
Let’s start cooking!
Lin Xu was holding a bowl of rice and a prawn in the bowl.
The shrimp meat has just been steamed, and the rich aroma makes people want to eat it. Moreover, the smell is also mixed with the aroma of garlic sauce, which is very appetizing.
Take a bite of the shrimp.
A fresh and sweet taste suddenly fills the entire mouth.
The taste of garlic does not overpower the sweetness of the shrimp meat, but instead makes the umami taste more intense, and the umami taste of the shrimp meat also makes the aroma of the garlic sauce more prominent.
Eat the meat from the back of the shrimp, and then take a bite of the steamed rice, which is moderately soft and hard.
Well, I’m so satisfied.
When Lin Xu was eating shrimps on the rice, Dundun next to him was also eating shrimps.
The delicious shrimps made this little guy narrow his eyes slightly and swing his tail slightly, looking very satisfied.
The video is shot.
Lin Xu put away the action camera and continued eating with the rice.
After eating a few prawns, pick up a few vermicelli filled with soup and put it into your mouth. The rich aroma makes these vermicelli taste like fresh shrimp.
Eat it with rice.
That feeling of satisfaction is amazing.
After eating and drinking.
He rested for a while.
Then use a computer to edit the video.
By the way, I added a paragraph at the end:
"This Friday, I will participate in the foreign-related hotel cooking competition jointly organized by Yanjing Travel Channel and the Tourism Association, China Travel Service Group, China National Travel Service Group and other units. Friends who want to watch it live can go to the Linji food topic to participate in the event of posting to win tickets.
, there are a total of fifty places, the number is limited, everyone hurry up!"
This event was planned by Zeng Xiaoqi.
She felt that the tickets were enough, so why not take them out to stimulate the fans' enthusiasm?
In this way, there are fans watching at the scene, the topic of Lin Ji becomes popular, and Lin Xu also gains a wave of popularity again, the best of all three!
As for Zeng Xiaoqi herself...
The more famous Lin Xu is, the higher the success rate of the food column she plans.
This is a win-win situation.
After the video is ready, upload it.
Then he looked at the time, changed his clothes, carried Dundun downstairs, and drove straight to Yanjing West Station.
This morning, Lin Hongqi and Chen Meijuan boarded the high-speed train to Beijing.
The two originally planned to wait until Lin Xu bought a house before approaching her in-laws to discuss the engagement. Who knew that the woman was so anxious and wanted to get engaged immediately?
The couple had to pack up quickly and come to the capital to get their son engaged.
By the way, let’s take a look at my son’s cooking competition at Diaoyutai.
I watched the live broadcast at home during the last game. Although Lin Xu had a lot of footage, the couple couldn't get enough of it. After the game, they watched the live broadcast replays several times.
Now you can sit down and watch it live, and you will definitely enjoy it.
Arrive at West Railway Station.
Lin Xu found a parking space and parked the car, then carried Dundun all the way to the exit and waited quietly.
There are people bustling around.
Dundun lay on Lin Xu's shoulder, looking left and right curiously, his eyes full of curiosity.
I waited for about ten minutes.
Lin Hongqi and Chen Meijuan appeared at the exit.
Lin Xu hurriedly greeted him.
Mom and dad are finally here, and the house we rented here in Beijing finally feels like home.
At this moment, Lin Xu felt that all the efforts were worth it.
"Er smash, have you been waiting for a long time?"
Chen Meijuan walked over and looked at her son with pride.
"I saw that your hotel was a very popular topic a few days ago. Why has it dropped in the past two days?"
She didn't know how to support her son's career, she just felt regretful that the popularity didn't continue to rise.
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Mom, one day, I will climb to the top of the hot search list."
These words were originally meant to comfort my mother.
Who knew I just finished speaking.
The system prompt sounded in my mind:
"The host desires to be the number one hot search topic and triggers the main task [Famous]: The host is asked to make the topic of Lin Ji Food successfully rank first in the hot search list within three months. Upon completion, the host will be rewarded with a lucky draw of a perfect lost dish.
, one draw for perfect griddle dishes, one draw for perfect pickled dishes, three perfect cooking learning cards, and a thirty-minute experience card with special props!"

My work schedule has been completely messed up recently. I get up before five o'clock every day, resulting in a serious lack of sleep. I wrote the chapter in the morning by spraying a bottle of toilet water on myself. I took a nap after lunch and it was already past four o'clock when I opened my eyes.
This chapter has 3,500 words, which is a bit short. Let’s just make do with it. I’ll adjust it and continue to update it!
This chapter has been completed!
