It seems that my father-in-law is not satisfied with that plate of pot-wrapped pork.
Lin Xu muttered in his mind that he planned to make another pot later after seeing off the guests, so that the employees and family members could have a good time and realize the freedom of eating hotpot meat.
As for Shen Baobao, she is looking forward to her fish fillet right now, and even started a debate with Geng Lele and Chen Yan about the taste of the fish fillet.
When it was almost time, Lin Xu got up and followed his father Lin Hongqi and father-in-law Shen Guofu to toast the guests.
"President Liu, thank you for coming to the opening ceremony. I'll do it, you can do whatever you want."
"Uncle Tan, thank you for your continued support. I'll do it, you can do whatever you want."
"Director Liao, thank you for your care at Diaoyutai. I'll do it, you can do whatever you want."
"..."
Lin Xu seemed to be possessed by the god of wine, drinking with the guests one glass at a time, and occasionally a good thing would come in pairs, which made the guests marvel at it:
"Xiao Xu is really a real person."
"Don't drink, kid. How can you deal with being drunk? Such a big store is waiting for you to stand up."
"It's okay if you feel like it. There's no need to drink so much."
"I can't just watch you drink, uncle will do it with you."
"..."
After finishing the toast and leaving the private room, Shu Yun, who was responsible for pouring wine for Lin Xu, said with a smile:
"The boss is good at acting."
Lin Xu also replied:
"Mr. Shu, good technique!"
Before toasting, Shu Yun found two empty bottles and filled them with Sprite. The reason why Lin Xu couldn't stop drinking at this moment was entirely because drinking a small glass of Sprite was not enough.<
/p>
Several times, I almost snatched the wine bottle from Shu Yun’s hand and blew on it.
After exchanging business blows, the two pushed to the next private room, and then there was another round of words of thanks and toasts. Lin Xu once again drank the Sprite in the Wuliangye bottle as if possessed by the god of wine, without any intention of getting drunk.
.
When coming out of the private room, Shu Yun handed the empty bottle to the waiter at the door, and then picked up another bottle from the waiter who followed him.
After unscrewing the bottle cap, she first smelled whether it was Sprite, not real wine.
Otherwise, the boss would be drunk and there would be no sweet and sour pot pork in the afternoon.
After a round of toasts, Lin Xu drank nearly three bottles of Sprite, but Lin Hongqi and Shen Guofu, who were following him, felt that drinking Sprite was not enough, so they switched to Wuliangye halfway, and each of them drank more than half a catty.
Well, I usually want to have a good drink but haven’t had the chance yet.
I finally got an opportunity to "drink on orders" today, but I can't just miss it.
Back in the private room, Han Shuzhen said quickly:
"Hurry up and eat some food. If you drink too much and don't eat food, it will hurt your stomach."
Lin Xu smiled bitterly and waved his hands. Just as he was about to speak, he burped first:
"I drank three bottles of Sprite and I can't eat anything now."
Three bottles?
Shen Baobao looked annoyed when he heard this:
"If I had known earlier, I would have followed and shared a bottle with you."
Do you want to drink Sprite?
Last time someone drank red wine, you drank Coke. This time, when drinking white wine, you want to drink Sprite. Is this how you exercise your drinking capacity?
Lin Xu couldn't eat or drink at the moment, so he planned to go to the kitchen to grill dried fish. He couldn't let everyone steal Xiaodundun's rations anymore.
You have to separate food for humans and food for cats.
"You guys eat, I'll go to the kitchen to bake the dried fish, and take a look at what else can be baked in the oven, and try to get a few more."
Upon hearing this, Shen Baobao immediately raised his hands in agreement:
"I've been thinking about eating dried fish for a long time. You should make more!"
She originally wanted to eat more by herself, but as soon as she finished speaking, Chen Yan, who was holding the head of a roasted suckling pig next to her and photographing three mouths of one pig, immediately said:
"Yes, yes, yes, do more. I was just worrying about what snacks to have at night. Thank you for your hard work, brother-in-law."
Shen Baobao looked helplessly at his cousin who was eager to take photos:
"Yan Bao, listen to my sister's advice and stop making videos like this. The more you make, the harder it will be to find a partner."
Chen Yan was stunned:
"Why? Isn't this just to make me look humorous?"
"No, it will only make you look ugly... Shatiao will only attract the same type of person, but will not attract the opposite sex..."
"Green Gourd Sword Fairy"
Chen Yan: "!
”
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Coming to the kitchen, Lin Xu looked at Che Zai and said:
"Let someone send you some crucian carp. It shouldn't be too big, but it should be fresh enough."
The horsetail in the cold storage is reserved for Dundun. Since it is going to be cooked for Shen Baobao, there is no need to use horsetail. Other fish can also be used.
When Che Zai went to call the fishery boss to deliver fish, Lin Xu came downstairs and fished out several grass carp weighing more than ten kilograms from the aquarium.
The taste of just using crucian carp is too simple, and it is easy for people to get bored.
Relatively speaking, it is better to have more tricks.
For example, this kind of big grass carp, cut off the fish meat and make it into fish meat like pork meat. Isn’t this better than grabbing those saltless and tasteless dried fish?
Come upstairs.
He slaughtered the fish cleanly.
The fish scales are saved to make spicy fish scales or fish scale jelly, the fish offal is braised in sauce at night, the fish head and fish bones are boiled with tofu at night to make fish head and tofu soup, and the fish skin is made into pickled pepper fish skin.
Soon, several fishes were clearly arranged.
Put aside the fish skin, fish meat, fish bones and other scraps, Lin Xu is going to process the fish meat first.
Use a kitchen knife to cut the fish into small pieces, and then use the mace used to smash beef balls to smash into minced meat.
This type of delicacy is the same as making fish balls and meatballs. If you want to be lazy, you can put it directly into the food processor and beat it. If you feel that the texture produced by the food processor is not good, you can also chop it into minced meat.
But the best way is to smash it.
Use an iron mace to smash the fish meat into puree, so that the umami substances in the fish meat can be fully released. In this way, the preserved fish meat will be fresh and delicious, and it will be more delicious.
In addition to making preserved fish, this kind of minced meat can also be used to make delicacies such as fish balls or fish soup.
"Boss, are you going to make fish balls?"
Seeing Lin Xu playing with the fish, Zhu Yong came over curiously and asked.
"I'm going to make some preserved fish. Isn't Building No. 15 good at fish? Is this how fish balls are made?"
"Yes, in addition to smashing, you can also choose to scrape the fish paste."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Scratch?
As soon as he heard the word "scratching", Lin Xu immediately understood.
Just like making chicken mince, use a kitchen knife to scrape the meat repeatedly. The scraped meat will be fluffy and soft, which is relatively better than smashing it.
But there was too much fish prepared today.
If you have to shave, you won’t be able to finish it until dark.
It is simpler and more direct to smash it.
Fish meat is loose and far less strong than beef or pork. A piece of meat can be broken loose with a few hits.
When the owner of the aquatic product stall delivered the small crucian carp to be used, dozens of kilograms of fish meat had been dried into meat paste by Lin Xu using the crazy mace method.
He has no skills in making beef balls or pork balls, nor does he know how to smash fish meat.
But he has plenty of strength.
In addition, I just drank three bottles of Sprite and needed to exercise, so I hit it hard with all my strength.
Needless to say, after all this tossing, the feeling of swelling and swelling after the Sprite is put into the stomach has been relieved a lot.
Life really lies in movement!
"Boss, the crucian carp is here, how should we deal with it?"
Chezi walked into the kitchen carrying a bag of crucian carp.
Lin Xu thought about the dried fish he had eaten in the past and ordered to him:
"With the fish scales gone, cut the fish open from the back with a knife, then clean up the internal organs and remove the head."
If you are making salted fish or large dried fish, you will naturally want to keep the fish head. After all, even if you cannot eat it, you can still make soup or make other things.
But for this kind of snack dried fish, the fish head doesn’t have much meat, it’s all bones. It’s easy to bite your teeth when you eat it. It’s better to just remove it, which makes it easier to bake.
Chezi agreed and went to the pool to clean up.
Lin Xu, on the other hand, scraped all the minced meat into a basin, put in onion and ginger water, light soy sauce, salt, sugar, pepper, five-spice powder, oyster sauce and other condiments, stirred the condiments evenly, and then started.
After half an hour of pounding and beating, the fish meat was completely gelatinous and sticky.
After doing this, divide the fish meat into small basins and start to prepare different flavors.
The seasoning you just put in is the basic seasoning. If you want to get different flavors of jerky, you have to season it twice.
For example, the spicy flavor should use fried and ground dried chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, the spicy flavor should use soybean powder and dried chili peppers, the cumin flavor should use more cumin powder, and the tomato flavor should use tomato paste...
Only in this way will the dried meat have a different taste.
It will taste more delicious and diverse.
After mixing all the seasonings into the fish, Lin Xu covered it with plastic wrap and asked a few free helpers to take it to the cold storage for refrigeration and marinate.
To make this type of jerky, you must marinate the meat thoroughly before grilling it.
Only in this way can the taste of dried meat be good. If you bake it just after adding the seasonings, the dried meat will not taste good, and the texture and taste will be much worse.
"The dried meat looks good, I'll make some tomorrow too."
The whole process of making fish meatballs is very similar to that of fish meatballs. As a chef from Building 15, Zhu Yong already knows this method well.
Seeing Lin Xu do this, he also planned to try some.
Give it to Lu Lu before the boss lady releases the poison, and see how this violent maniac beats himself.
While he was thinking about it, there was an additional WeChat message on his phone:
"I want to eat Guobao Pork tonight, don't forget to make it, otherwise I will let you feel the uppercut I have been practicing recently."
Zhu Yong: "..."
Here it comes again.
You are so vicious every time. If I didn’t really like you, I would have to let you feel the violent factor in the blood of the old Zhu family!
In the private room upstairs.
Geng Lele glanced at Lu Lu's chat page and asked curiously:
"Sister Lu, why do you always treat Brother Yong like this? Last time, Brother Qian said that Brother Yong was trembling all over when he saw the message you sent. Don't scare him out of trouble."
Lu Lu took a sip of the sour plum soup and then said with a smile:
"Every time I see Weeping Willow being bullied by me, I want to hold his face and kiss him hard. It is the first time in my life that I have met a man who is so accommodating to me and treats me well. I am really afraid of him in the future.
He doesn’t like me anymore, so I can’t help but be a little cruel to him.”
"Tsk tsk tsk, it sounds like romance."
Geng Lele cannot understand this kind of love and hatred. In her opinion, such boring things are not even as interesting as a high-level math question.
But seeing Lu Lu's happy face, she held her drink cup and said:
"I hope Brother Yong will not attend in a wheelchair when you get married..."
"How is that possible? I'm actually very gentle."
Geng Lele: "..."
Sister, do you have any misunderstanding about tenderness?
Don’t you know that among the girls in our circle, your intimidation power is even greater than that of the big sister Tiantian?
Still gentle...
Is it as ruthless and gentle as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves?
In the kitchen.
After Lin Xu finished playing with the preserved fish, Che Zai and the two helpers also finished packing the crucian carp.
These crucian carps were cut open from the back one by one, all the internal organs in the stomach were cleanly cleaned, and the fish heads were removed. If you look at it upside down, the whole fish looks like a butterfly spreading its wings.
After cleaning the fish, Lin Xu began to pickle it.
Curing meat basically requires onion and ginger water and pepper water to add flavor, as well as salt, sugar, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, pepper and other condiments.
In order to increase the flavor, add some spicy millet cut in half.
After everything is put, stir evenly, cover with plastic wrap, and start marinating.
"Boss, are you going to bake these in the oven later? Our electric oven is a bit small."
Lin Xu pointed to the roast duck stove not far away and said:
"If you use a stove, the charcoal inside will burn out before it can be extinguished, so let's use the waste."
There is a grill net and a grill in the store. After the crucian carp is marinated, it is directly placed on the grill net and hung in the roast duck oven, and then grilled over low heat and slowly.
When it's almost ready, put some bagasse in it and smoke it.
The flavorful smoked grilled crucian carp is ready now.
Having two when you’re watching TV shows or playing games at night is definitely more enjoyable than eating takeout.
"The boss really worked hard to prevent Dundun's rations from being stolen!"
"It's no wonder that the little guy is the closest to the boss. When the boss is around, even Mr. Shu doesn't pay much attention to him."
"..."
Wei Qian and Zhuang Yizhou chatted one after another. When Lin Xu finished his work, he came over and asked:
"Boss, can you make Guobao Pork now?"
"The meat slices have been cut and marinated, and the starch has been soaked, just waiting for you to operate."
In fact, the two of them can also make Guobao Pork, but they always feel that the taste of their own cooking is different from that of Lin Xu, so they came over as soon as they saw Lin Xu finishing his work.
"Okay, let's make another pot. We didn't have any in the kitchen just now. Let's enjoy it first this time."
Lin Xu rolled up his sleeves and cooked another half of the pot of pork in a pot, allowing the busy chefs in the kitchen to get over their addiction to the pork in a pot.
Half an hour later, the guests got up to say goodbye after eating and drinking.
In front of the small service counter on the third floor, boxes of souvenirs have been prepared, and each customer has one. Among them are colorful water chestnut cakes and brown sugar shaqima, all made by Lin Xu himself.
"I finally saw the delicious food handmade by Boss Lin. I plan to take a photo and show it off in the topic of Lin Ji Food."
"Yes, I usually watch the boss ladies and others taking poison, so we have to get addicted to poison."
"It's a pity that there are no other snacks, otherwise netizens would be even more envious."
"Just wait, according to the proprietress, in order to welcome the Mid-Autumn Festival, new gift boxes will be released one after another in the store, so everyone should not forget to buy Lin Ji's gift boxes when visiting relatives and friends."
"If you forget it, you can't forget it. The key is that you can't buy it. There are only a hundred or so copies every day, which is even harder to grab than the expert account."
"I really hope Boss Lin can expand the scale of his business quickly. I'm still waiting to buy his gift box and go to my father-in-law and mother-in-law's house to visit relatives."
"Damn it, bro, do you have a girlfriend?"
"No, this is not a rainy day plan."
"..."
Netizens could never forget the true nature of Sha Tuo. They took gift boxes and said goodbye to Lin Xu, then left Lin Ji Food.
Wait until the guests are almost gone.
Lin Xu returned to the kitchen, took out the marinated crucian carp, picked out the spicy millet inside, and then placed the fish skin side down on the grilling net one by one.
When it is full, hang the grilling net on the grill of the roast duck stove.
After putting all the crucian carp in, he mixed some honey water with maltose and honey, and then applied a layer of it on the skin of the crucian carp when it was baked and dried. This would make the crucian carp taste better.
After the crucian carp was grilled, he brought over the marinated fish meat.
Take a piece of kitchen oil-absorbing paper, apply a layer of sesame oil on the surface, scoop out a spoonful of fish meat, spread it out, put a layer of oil-absorbing paper on it, and use a rolling pin to roll it into thin slices.
After rolling it out, scrape off the excess meat along the edge of the absorbent paper. Hold the absorbent paper with your hands and put it into the baking pan. Remove the absorbent paper on top and put it in the oven for baking.
In addition to the oven, this kind of jerky can also be slowly roasted on charcoal fire.
Wait until the surface of the meat jerky is slightly dry in the oven, brush it with honey water, turn it over, remove the oil-absorbing paper underneath, brush it with honey water, and sprinkle with a layer of white sesame seeds.
Continue to bake on low heat for three minutes, and these fish breasts are ready.
Freshly grilled meat is dry and hard and needs to soften before eating.
In order to make the softening effect better, you can also steam it in a steaming cabinet. After the meat becomes soft, the taste will be stronger and the aroma will be more fragrant.
Unfortunately, before Lin Xu could start steaming, the first three pieces of dried fish meat were snatched away by the "Shen Ma Bandit" who came after hearing the news.
"Thank you Xu Bao, I like to eat this kind of dried meat the most."
Shen Baobao took a large piece of dried meat, rolled it up like a Shandong person eating pancakes rolled with green onions, opened his mouth and took a bite:
"Wow, isn't the umami flavor too strong?"
Lin Xu looked at the silly girl's eating appearance and couldn't help but said:
"I'd better cut it for you, so that others won't be able to taste it."
He used a knife to cut off the part Shen Baobao bitten to satisfy the girl's craving, and then cut the remaining meat into small cubes about ten centimeters square.
After cutting, put it into a small bamboo basket and let Shen Baobao carry it to the elders to taste.
After finishing these tasks, the crucian carp in the roast duck oven is almost ready.
The surface of these grilled fish has been dehydrated and exudes a rich aroma. The smell makes people want to drink white wine to quench their cravings.
Lin Xu took out the grilling net, first applied a layer of honey water, then turned the fish over, applied another layer of honey water, sprinkled a layer of white sesame seeds, and continued baking in the oven.
While he was busy, Shen Guofu and Lin Hongqi walked over:
"Xiao Xu, do you still have those dried meats? Your dad and I were robbed before we could even eat them. We still don't know what they taste like."
As he spoke, he smelled the fresh aroma coming from the oven and couldn't help but sniff:
"Why doesn't this grilled fish taste the same as those dried meats?"
"This is my grilled crucian carp, which is different from the way it is made with dried meat."
While talking, Lin Xu opened the roast duck stove, and the fresh fragrance inside suddenly burst out.
Lin Hongqi and Shen Guofu were intoxicated by the taste, and their alcohol addiction was aroused again.
When Lin Xu took out the grill grid from the stove, the in-laws became even more excited.
The grilled golden crucian carp still exudes an attractive fragrance. The crucian carp looks very appetizing.
Shen Guofu said seriously:
"I heard that there are many parasites in Danshui fish, so it is best to disinfect them before eating them. Let me go and get the remaining half bottle of Wuliangye from upstairs, and we can disinfect them while we eat!"
————————
I suddenly became craving for dried meat while watching a short video last night, so I came up with today’s chapter. I like dried meat very much, but unfortunately I can’t eat it because I have diabetes, so I can only eat it to satisfy my eyes... This chapter has 5290 words, please give me a monthly vote, brothers!
