"Master..."
Looking at Uncle Gao, who was dressed more punk than a rock singer, Lin Xu smiled and said hello, Master is becoming more and more lethargic.
"Master, with the way you are dressed, you might have thought you were my senior brother."
Xie Baomin said hello with a smile, then looked at the middle-aged aunt and said hello:
"Hello aunt!"
This should be the leopard print aunt that the junior brother mentioned, right? When I first said hello, I almost shouted out the word leopard print, but luckily I held it back.
Not seen for a month.
Master dyed his hair black and dressed much younger. Standing next to the leopard-print aunt next to him, he looked quite matched.
"My little apprentice is becoming more and more promising. My older apprentice also... should take some time to exercise. Why is he so exhausted?"
When Uncle Gao saw Xie Baomin's vain look, he couldn't help but give a few instructions.
Xie Baomin hurriedly said:
"I have already applied for a fitness card. I will exercise every day from now on and strive to have eight-pack abs like Master."
Uncle Gao smiled and then said to the two of them:
"Let me introduce you two, this is Aunt Luo."
She didn’t say she was the master’s wife, so she wasn’t married yet... Lin Xu grumbled in his heart, and then shouted:
"Hello Aunt Luo, thank you for your reward in my live broadcast room, it cost you money."
Xie Baomin also quickly said hello:
"Hello Aunt Luo, thank you for taking care of our master."
When saying hello, he was still mentally comparing himself to Master's previous mistresses.
No matter in terms of body, temperament or appearance, this Aunt Luo has the upper hand. The master is really old. All the master wives I have found in the past are not elegant, talented and beautiful.
Sure enough, when Neptune comes ashore, he will find a relatively mediocre person to live with?
The leopard-print aunt's name was Luo Shan. Looking at the two apprentices greeting her, she immediately took out two red envelopes from her bag and handed them over:
"Hello, hello. It's our first time meeting you. Auntie will give each of you a small red envelope. Here are two cards. Each card contains one million. The password is your master's retirement date."
One...million?
Xie Baomin looked at the thin red envelope and thought it contained at most five hundred yuan, so when Aunt Luo handed it to him, he caught it smoothly.
But when I heard that there was one million in it, the hand holding the red envelope suddenly trembled. It was a bit reckless.
Do these rich people have any misunderstanding about the word "small" in the small red envelope?
One million is still a small red envelope, how much is the big red envelope?
He smiled bitterly and returned the red envelope:
"Aunt Luo, isn't this too much?"
Luo Shan waved her hand carelessly:
"As much as you have, just take what the elders give you. If you don't accept it, you don't recognize my identity."
Who are you?
Xie Baomin touched the outline of the bank card in the red envelope and said immediately:
"Thank you, Master. My master is truly blessed to have you."
These words made Uncle Gao couldn't help but stare.
You sold me this worthless piece of shit for one million, right?
However, the eldest disciple didn't pay attention to his murderous gaze at the moment, and was still sighing to himself.
This mistress is much better than the previous ones, and the looks of the previous mistresses showed that they were not good at living. Master has gone through thousands of sailings, and finally met the most suitable person for him. It is gratifying.
After receiving the money, Xie Baomin immediately changed his view of Aunt Luo, and directly ranked her as No. 1 among the master wives in his heart.
This is what a mistress should look like.
When Lin Xu saw that his senior brother had changed his words, he also changed his words:
"Thank you, Master!"
"Thank you for everything. I shouldn't give you red envelopes. Xiaoshuai, just tell them. I'll wait for you in the car."
After saying that, the mistress walked directly outside the venue. It looked like she had no intention of staying for dinner.
Uncle Gao agreed, then looked at the two apprentices and said:
"In the past ten years, I have been wandering around the Diaoyutai. I have never seen the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and I have never measured the land under my feet. After this trip, I want to go to more places. I will tell you about it.
Auntie plans to go to the Northeast, explore the old forests, climb Changbai Mountain, then drive around, and finally settle down in Yangcheng."
What?
Want to settle in Yangcheng?
Originally, Lin Xu thought the master's arrangement was quite romantic, but if he settled in Yangcheng, it would be inconvenient to ask for advice on cooking in the future.
"Master, why do you want to settle in Yangcheng?"
"It's warm, and I think the Cantonese Cuisine Museum in Lao Guo Nong is quite interesting, so I plan to be his neighbor. Then you can go and have fun during your vacation. In terms of cooking, Yangcheng is still worth exploring."
Xie Baomin stuffed the red envelope in his hand into his pocket, looked at Uncle Gao and asked:
"Are you leaving now?"
"Yes, we will go directly to the airport in a moment. We chartered a small plane and went straight to the Northeast. In the past, we were always worried that the craftsmanship would be lost and there would be no successors. Now that we have Xiaoxu, we don't have to worry anymore. Baomin, I'm not so busy anymore.
Teach your junior brother for me, and when he reaches your level, I will teach him some high-end dishes."
"Okay Master, I remember it."
After Uncle Gao finished speaking, he smiled apologetically at Lin Xu:
"I won't be having lunch here today. I want to apologize to your family for me. We have a master-disciple relationship. Although it doesn't last long, we are very close to each other. Come and give the master a hug before leaving."
Hug?
Lin Xu was a little surprised and didn't understand what the master was doing.
People with terminal illnesses in movies and TV shows behave like this. Could it be that Master also...
His nose felt sour, and he was hesitating whether to notify Mr. Han and Mrs. Han to check the master. Uncle Gao opened his arms and hugged him, and stuffed a note into Lin Xu's pocket:
"Contact Lucy for me and tell her that I miss her so much. Remember to say it in English. She doesn't understand Chinese. I'll put her phone number in your pocket."
Lin Xu: "..."
It doesn’t seem to be a terminal illness.
People with terminal illnesses will never be so wasteful.
But wait...haven't you all gone ashore?
Why bother Lucy?
He asked:
"Then how should I let Aunt Lucy know it's you?"
"As soon as you said robin, she knew it was me."
robin?
Which vest is this?
As soon as Uncle Gao finished speaking, a car horn sounded not far away. He straightened his clothes and then said to Lin Xu and Xie Baomin:
"Everything is fine. I will let you two know when I settle in Yangcheng."
After saying that, he walked out of the venue gracefully.
Lin Xu and Xie Baomin looked at the back of the old Sea King and wanted to say something, but they didn't know what to say.
After a long time, Xie Baomin sighed with emotion:
"Master, this waist is really nice."
Lin Xu took out the note from his pocket and found a mobile phone number starting with 139 written on it.
I'm too busy right now. I'll try to contact this Aunt Lucy when I'm done.
You also have to speak English, which is a bit of a test.
Ever since I took CET-4 in my junior year of college, my English has rapidly degraded to the stage where I only know game terminology. It’s a bit embarrassing to pick it up now, and I also have to speak spoken English.
But for the sake of Master, I have to pass on the words no matter how difficult it is!
Outside the venue.
Uncle Gao opened the door of the BMW 760.
As soon as she sat in, Luo Shan next to her held up a piece of paper and flashed it:
"Xiaoshuai, whose mobile phone number starts with 138? I just tried to call, and a woman who spoke English answered the phone. I asked my secretary to talk to her, but the other person kept asking me where to hide my robin.
Where is it, who is robin?"
Gao Peisheng: "..."
Sure enough, you shouldn’t mess with these rich old ladies!
There are too many methods, right?
He looked at Luo Shan and asked:
"What about that note in my pocket?"
"That's my mobile phone number. I haven't added your apprentice's WeChat account yet. Let's add it this time so that we don't have trouble finding your apprentices."
In the venue.
As soon as Lin Xuda found Dundun who was being held in the arms of Mrs. Han, the host urged him to come to the stage to give a speech.
As a last resort, I can only continue to postpone the lottery.
Standing on the stage, he thanked all the guests, family, friends, etc., and especially thanked his lover Shen Baobao. A beautiful girl who was sitting under the stage eating dried fish almost made her cry.<
/p>
Stinky Xubao will make others happy.
"Where did this dried fish come from? It's quite delicious."
Chen Yan, who had eaten two steamed cakes and three bowls of millet porridge, was burping. However, smelling the fragrant dried fish in her cousin's hand, she couldn't help but tear off one and taste it.
"I saw Chef Dai and the others eating the snacks that Xu Bao prepared for Dundun, so I took some of them. Not to mention, they taste really good, not inferior to those beef jerky."
"Beef jerky?"
"Master Zhuang made some beef jerky for Dundun yesterday, and I ate it all while watching the drama last night... I plan to ask them to make some more today, including this dried fish."
Chen Yan looked at her cousin's eating face and finally understood why Dundun stopped kissing her.
Even stealing cat food, tsk tsk tsk, Snow White’s stepmother couldn’t do such a thing, could she?
No wonder Dundun doesn’t have a good relationship with my aunt. She must have been implicated by Safuzu’s cousin.
At around eleven o'clock in the morning, the celebration officially ended.
The waiter in the store led all the guests to eat in the private room on the third floor.
Everyone's seats have been arranged here, and when the guests are seated, the dishes begin to be served. All kinds of dishes that are not usually sold to the public are all arranged for these guests today.
The private rooms upstairs are already full.
Lin Xu entered the private rooms one by one to greet the guests, and then in the largest private room, he saw Dundun being held in the arms of his mother-in-law Han Shuzhen.
The little guy was hugged by the elders one by one, and now he felt a little depressed.
"Mom, give me Dundun. I'll get him some food. He hasn't eaten anything all morning, so he's probably hungry."
"Okay, okay, go quickly. I said my grandson is a little thin. It turns out he is hungry."
Han Shuzhen handed the dundun to Lin Xu, and then started chatting with Chen Meijuan about going to the spa. She had nothing to do in the afternoon, and she planned to take her family to experience a high-end spa in Beijing.
When Shen Guofu heard that Lin Hongqi also liked to play billiards, he planned to call Tan Yajun, who came over to greet him, and go to the villa to play two games together, so that Brother Lin from Yinzhou could experience the strength of Yanjing Ding Junhui and Nancheng O'Sullivan.
Awesome.
Carrying Dundun to the second floor, Lin Xucheng said to the car boy:
"Go get me some grilled fish fillets. Dundun eats steamed and boiled meat every day, so let him taste something different today."
As a result, the car guy quickly walked out empty-handed:
"It's gone. It seems that it was eaten by Chef Dai and the proprietress."
Lin Xu:??????
With so much delicious food, why are you competing with cats for food?
When she was feeling depressed, Shen Jiayue came over carrying a small bag:
"Xubao, try it quickly. This fish fillet is so delicious. I was afraid that others would snatch it away, so I packed it all up... Huh? Why did Dundun show his claws? It looks so majestic!"
p>
Dundun collapsed into Lin Xu's arms.
Destroy it, I am tired...
"Those are Dundun's snacks. If you want to eat them, I can make some specially for you."
Lin Xu grabbed a handful of fish fillets and carried Dundun to the lobby on the first floor.
Put the little guy on the service table, then take out the small bowl it eats in, tear the fish fillets into strips and put them in.
The little fat cat, who originally had a lifeless expression, suddenly climbed up, stuck out his fat little butt and came to smell it, and then started to eat it with big mouthfuls.
"Is that enough? I still have more here."
Stepmother Shen stood aside, looking at Dundun's hungry look and feeling a little embarrassed.
Lin Xu said:
"If you're not busy, I'll bake some more for you, salty, sweet, spicy, cumin, barbecue, tomato..."
While he was talking, Baby Shen rushed over:
"Stop reciting it, stop reciting it. If you recite it again, your saliva will come out. Thank you, Xu Bao. I really want to press you on the bed and kiss you hard."
When the young couple was farming, Dundun looked at them dissatisfied.
Is it cat food or dog food that this cat eats today?
After Dundun had eaten and drank enough, Lin Xu touched its head and muttered silently:
"Lottery!"
After some operations, the system prompt sounded in my mind:
"Congratulations to the host for getting perfect dishes - Sichuan flavor chicken, salted fish and eggplant stew, and custard mooncakes."
Ouch?
Is this because it’s the Mid-Autumn Festival?
How come you still got Liuxin mooncake?
But this is good. It’s a good time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so you don’t have to worry about what gifts to bring to your relatives.
After the lottery is completed.
Dundun licked her paws, then ducked into the small room on the reception desk and fell asleep.
Well, after a busy morning, the little cat can finally take a breather.
When returning upstairs, Lin Xu looked at Shen Baobao and asked curiously:
"Why don't you eat upstairs? Haven't you been looking forward to this meal for a long time?"
"Without you, I have no appetite."
Did you eat too much dried fish?
Lin Xu said:
"If you don't have an appetite, let me cook you an appetizing dish, and let the elders have a taste of my cooking."
Now that you have acquired the skill of making pot-wrapped pork, don’t hide it, take advantage of the large number of people to make it today, and let Mrs. Shen try the dishes from her hometown in Northeast China to see if they are exactly the same as the ones in her memory.
It just so happens that Master is going to the Northeast today, and he wants to cook a Northeastern dish.
"What are you going to cook, Xu Bao?"
"Guobao right!"
"That's great, that's great. I like eating this kind of sour and sweet dish. You go ahead and make it. I'll wait at the door to save Yan Bao from coming over to grab it."
Lin Xu: "..."
My sister-in-law is either fighting the roast suckling pig or the leg of lamb at the moment, but she has no time to come over and pay attention to what new dishes are being cooked in the kitchen.
He walked into the kitchen, looked at Wei Qian and asked:
"Is there any soaked potato starch?"
"Yes, now the store will soak a little before every meal, just in case it's too late to make a dish like hanging lake. Looking at you like this, are you planning to make some new dish?"
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"It's not a new dish, it's just a pot-wrapped pork dish."
The dish of Guobao Pork requires potato starch, and it must be soaked potato starch.
After the potato starch is soaked in water and settled, pour out the excess water. This is the best starch lake for making pot pork.
Lin Xu went to the cold storage and brought some tenderloin meat over.
Since we are going to make a new dish, we must serve one in each private room for everyone to try.
A standard plate of Guobao Pork requires eighteen slices of meat, and the slices must be large enough. To make one portion of Guobao Pork, it takes almost a pound of tenderloin meat.
It can be seen from the amount of meat that the Northeastern people's generous spirit is engraved in their bones.
Quickly remove the fascia of the inner ridge meat, then lay it flat on the eucalyptus board, and cut the top wire into 6-7 mm thick slices.
The meat slices used to make Guobao Pork should be thick enough so that they can taste crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. If the meat slices are too thin, they will be easily fried during frying and taste dry and hard.
"What seasonings are needed to make Guobao Pork? Do you need orange juice and tomato sauce?"
Wei Gan came over curiously and asked.
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"No, I made it the old-fashioned way, just white vinegar and white sugar, without adding orange juice or tomato sauce."
Guobaorou is divided into several schools.
hlj's Binjiang cuisine is considered the most orthodox. It only uses white vinegar and sugar, and does not adjust the color. The potted pork is made with its original color and flavor, and tastes very sour and sweet.
The Liaoning area is more innovative and likes to put orange juice or tomato sauce.
The one with orange juice is called yellow sauce pot pork, and the one with tomato sauce is called red sauce pot pork.
In the Chifeng area of Inner Mongolia, which is close to the northeast, soy sauce is added, and the potted pork is salty, which is very different from the sweet and sour potted pork in the Northeast.
It is said that in the Yanbian area, there is also a recipe that does not add onions and ginger, but only slices of meat with sweet and sour sauce.
In addition to these large schools, there are also some small-scale practices, such as putting fruits, putting cans, etc., all of which are evolutions of the traditional pot-wrapped pork method.
Lin Xu understands this evolution very well.
After all, the taste of the same land and water is the same as the land and water. Over there in the Central Plains, braised prawns with tomato sauce are cooked every day. How can you say that what they eat is wrong?
After cutting all the meat, Lin Xu put the meat slices in a basin and poured in water to rinse them.
This step is to wash away the blood in the meat and also to make the meat taste softer and more tender.
After cleaning, take out the meat slices, squeeze out the water with your hands, and then start seasoning.
There was a lot of meat today, so Lin Xu added three small spoons of salt, two small spoons of pepper, and a little light soy sauce to increase the flavor. Stir evenly, then cover with plastic wrap and marinate.
Authentic Guobao Pork is sour in the mouth and tastes sweet. You can only taste the slightly salty taste after eating.
This dish doesn’t use much salt. Except for marinating the meat, no salt is added in other steps.
This is exactly the case, so the meat slices should be marinated for as long as possible to allow the salt to penetrate deep into the meat slices.
While the meat was marinating, Lin Xu cut some shredded ginger, green onions, carrots and coriander stalks. These ingredients were added to the pan together with the fried meat slices when the sauce was added.
In addition to these ingredients, you also need to cut some garlic slices for frying when making sweet and sour sauce.
While Lin Xu was busy preparing pot-roasted pork in the kitchen, in front of the service desk downstairs, someone from the finance department of the Shen Group came over with a smile and greeted Dou Wenjing, who was checking the accounts at the service desk:
"Hello, Sister Dou, Mr. Shen asked us to apply for card recharge. From now on, the Shen Group's business banquet will be held at Linji. Please take care of me, Sister Dou!"
When Dou Wenjing resigned from the Shen Group, many people in the company were a little surprised and a little gloating about her misfortune.
However, what they didn't expect was that Mr. Shen's son-in-law turned around and became the general manager, which made everyone who was originally gloating about the misfortune suddenly became upset.
If I had known earlier, I would have behaved more in front of Mr. Shen.
When she met her former colleagues in the company, Dou Wenjing smiled and said hello, and then asked:
"How much to charge?"
"Five million!"
Mr. Shen really supports his son-in-law's career... Just as Dou Wenjing was about to call Song Tiantian to handle the business, Yuan Fei from the Audit Office also came over:
"Can we make a large recharge now? Our Tianpeng Audit Firm has recharged 500,000 yuan and extended the contract for the group meal business to next year."
With him taking the lead, other companies with cooperation and good relationships all rushed over to recharge.
Lin Xu, who was cutting ginger slices upstairs, looked at the rising points in the system points column and almost cut his hand with a knife.
Damn it!
Before cutting a piece of ginger, the system points soared to seven to eight million.
It's like today. Let alone buying a house, buying a courtyard house within the second ring road is not a dream.
After cutting the ginger, he thought that the special props had not been redeemed yet, so he entered the system, ready to redeem the useful identification eye, and take a look at what the next special prop would be refreshed...
