Yinzhou City.
A farm-style restaurant in Longqishan Scenic Area.
As the sun sets, tourists who have been playing for a day come over in twos and threes to eat.
On the grill in the yard, several golden-roasted sheep were sizzling with oil. When Lin Xu's second uncle Shi Wenming came over with clear oil to brush, tourists kept asking:
"Master, is this really Boss Lin's method of roasting whole lamb?"
While asking, turn on your phone or camera and start shooting a short video.
Shi Wenming said while brushing oil:
"This is really the roasted whole lamb that my nephew taught me to make. Even the dipping sauce was prepared and sent by him in the capital. If you don't believe me, you can try it later."
When he said this, the tourists around him all showed expectant expressions.
Since this is the method taught by Boss Lin, the dipping sauce used is also sent from Linji in Beijing.
If you round it off, doesn’t it mean that Boss Lin personally cooked the roasted whole lamb for me?
After Shi Wenming finished swiping the oil, he said to the waiter standing by:
"Pay attention to the speed of the machine. If it is too fast, adjust it. The mutton will be ready immediately. Just turn it slowly."
The National Day was quite busy, and the business at the scenic spot was getting better and better, so Shi Wenming suggested that Lin Hongqi and Chen Meijuan recruit some helpers. If he was alone, he would probably end the holiday before it was over.
Chen Meijuan recruited some nimble village women from nearby villages and towns to serve as waitresses, and also recruited several village banquet chefs to supplement the kitchen staff.
Shi Wenming finally looked like a chef.
Putting the grease back into the kitchen, he wiped his hands and went to the newly opened small private room next to the kitchen.
Sitting inside were the distinguished guests of this National Day, Shen Guofu and his wife, as well as three brothers and sisters, Chen Meijuan, Chen Meide, and Chen Meiliang, as well as their second aunt Lin Hongxia, Dabolin Hongjun and other relatives.
Lin Hongqi is so busy that she can't even think about eating right now.
"Brother Wenming, you are really good at making farm food. Although my son-in-law is already the catering consultant of Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, you are still the most authentic in farm food."
Shen Guofu took the wine bottle and poured Shi Wenming a glass of wine.
This group of relatives is really down-to-earth. Yesterday, when the high-speed train was still halfway through its journey, they swarmed to the high-speed rail station to pick her up.
When we first met at the exit of the high-speed rail station, they greeted me with all kinds of greetings and warm welcome, which gave me a lot of face.
This makes Shen Guofu, who always likes excitement, very happy.
When they arrived at the scenic spot, the old lady of the Lin family and the old lady of the Chen family were waiting here again. The whole family had a lively lunch, and then went hiking and walking with them all the way, as if they were long-lost relatives.
Of course, Shen Guofu was also very generous with his gifts, giving away all kinds of valuable leather goods, cigars, pipes, drinking utensils, cultural toys, calligraphy and paintings, bracelets, Buddhist beads, etc. as if they were sprinkled with water.
Even Shi Wenming's daughter Shi Moli received a pink diamond-encrusted hairpin, which made the little girl so happy that she called Uncle Shen "Hello."
Baobao Shen has lived here for a week, and he clearly remembers the names of all his relatives, their hobbies and so on.
Before coming, Shen Guofu bought various gifts.
There are adults and children here. The whole family pampered our daughter so much when she came here. This time we come here to express our gratitude.
Shi Wenming clinked his wine glass with Shen Guofu:
"The ingredients provided by my second brother are good. Whether it's eels, crabs, or this turtle, they are all top-notch."
Second uncle Chen Meiliang smiled:
"It's all stuff from our own reservoir. You can just put it in your net bag and get it out."
After three drinks, Shen Guofu held the wine glass and said:
"I see that the valley inside is quite large and fairly flat, so I have the idea of investing in a racecourse. By then we will be considered the first equestrian club in the Central Plains. It is both tasteful and can promote tourism. What do you think?
Like?"
Chen Meijuan originally thought that her in-laws were just here to eat, drink and have fun, but she didn’t expect that she actually wanted to invest in the scenic spot.
This kind of great thing is naturally good, but if you invest in a racecourse in Yinzhou, will anyone come to ride it?
I heard that raising horses is very expensive nowadays. If you have to lose money, wouldn’t it be a rip-off for your parents?
Just when she was about to persuade, Shen Guofu continued:
"This is not an impulsive thing on my part, it's because the environment here is good, surrounded by mountains, which is naturally suitable for raising horses, and the venue is large enough for horse riders to have fun."
He talked about a lot of benefits of raising horses, and everyone present was confused.
At the end, Shen Guofu held a wine glass and said to Chen Meiliang:
"Second brother, the investment in the racecourse is quite large. I don't feel at ease if I don't have someone to guard it. Everyone else in our family has their own work. Just my second brother Xianyun Yehe, how about you help me take care of it first?"
Chen Meiliang: "..."
He originally came here to have a drink and chat, and then went back to the hut next to the reservoir to sleep.
This request made him really unresponsive.
However, as a famous chicken king in Yinzhou City at that time, Chen Meiliang was really interested in raising horses.
The main reason is that I didn’t have much contact with it in the past. Although my net worth exceeded the tens of millions mark when I was prosperous, the time I was prosperous was too short, and I didn’t learn the bad habits of sensuality, so I went bankrupt.
Well, as long as I go bankrupt fast enough, the bad habits of rich people won't catch up with me.
Shen Guofu sat next to Chen Meiliang and said:
"Last time when my daughter went back, she specifically mentioned you and said that you, second brother, are very similar to me. I also went bankrupt several times and took on a lot of debt. In the end, I couldn't swallow it, so I managed to survive. But second brother
After going through twists and turns, I suddenly looked away and became indifferent. I was like a wild crane all day long. To be honest, I really envy my second brother."
The debt Chen Meiliang owed back then was quite large, but it was remarkable that he was able to pay it off in just a few years.
There are more people like him who turn to alcohol to drown their sorrows after going bankrupt. Even if they are stuck at home by their creditors on New Year's Eve, they still drink.
Chen Meiliang smiled:
"You say this is flattering me. I've only raised chickens and I'm bankrupt... I can help you with the horse farm. It's okay, but I can't raise chickens well. I can't raise horses, right?"
"There are veterinarians and there are veterinarians. Since the second brother agreed, come on, let's go together as a family."
Racecourses are not that easy to build.
Even if you have funds in hand, you still need to have connections, procedures, qualification certification from the Equestrian Association, etc. These all require a little preparation.
Since Chen Meiliang agreed, she no longer hesitated and said to Chen Meili:
"At that time, the scope of the scenic area was relatively narrow. Brother, you and Hongqi should finalize this matter as soon as possible. No matter how much it costs, all the valleys inside must be included in the scenic area."
This is where disputes can easily arise, so get it first.
Then he said:
"Guofu's investment follows the path of the China Merchants Bureau, which just allows Hongqi to clear up the relationship with the old company. Investments of hundreds of millions, as long as they are not fools, will be warmly welcomed. When the time comes, the procedures will be much easier."
"Let Xiaoxu communicate with Chairman Liu who came last time in the capital to talk about the construction of the racecourse and see if the Tourism Association can provide some support. We need to grasp the relationship with the Tourism Association."
"Guofu should be familiar with the equestrian club in Beijing, right? It's too slow to recruit some people here. It's too slow to train talents yourself. It's more convenient to use those trained by others."
"When the construction of the racecourse starts, try to bring in as many big shots as possible in the capital. The greater the noise, the smoother it will be for me to run it here."
He talked a lot eloquently, and every relative present was stunned.
Be good.
Zhuge Liang did a lot of detailed work before he agreed to leave the mountain. After a sip of wine, have your thoughts become so clear?
Chen Meiliang drank the white wine in the glass without taking it seriously:
"That's all I can think of for now. I'll draw up a charter when I get back. Before Guofu returns, we'll try to communicate and discuss as much as possible."
Shi Wenming held the wine bottle and wanted to add more wine, but he stopped him:
"It doesn't matter how much you drink when you have nothing to do. Now that you have serious business, you can't drink. If you drink anymore, it will affect your thinking."
After saying that, he and Shen Guofu continued to discuss the racecourse.
At the same time, Linji Food on Yingchun Street, Yanjing City.
The evening rush hour has arrived, and Lin Xu did not forget to tell the driver:
"I will buy some raw pork tripe tomorrow and I will make some spicy and sour tripe soup for everyone to try. If it works, this soup will be served in the store. Remember to ask Lao Hu to get some fresh pork tripe, not frozen.
."
"Okay, I'll contact Boss Hu right now."
Hot and sour tripe soup should be cooked with pork belly.
Pork belly is the stomach of a pig and has high therapeutic value.
In addition, the pork belly itself is tender, smooth and crispy, and the soup produced is white and thick, making it an essential high-end ingredient for many dishes.
For example, the famous Cantonese dish Pork Belly Chicken is a dish in which chicken is stuffed into pork belly and cooked.
"Boss, are we going to make spicy and sour belly soup?"
Ma Zhiqiang asked in surprise.
This popular soup in North China and Northwest China made him somewhat greedy.
However, unlike those in North China, many people in the northwest use tripe to make spicy and sour tripe soup.
Although beef tripe can also be made into soup, it is somewhat different from pork tripe because there is a layer of fluff on the surface of tripe. In terms of taste, it is not as smooth and delicious as pork tripe.
Lin Xu said:
"Make some and try it to see if it goes well with fried noodles."
"That's a perfect match. Although we made hot and sour soup for fried noodles two days ago, compared with the hot and sour tripe soup, it's still a little less interesting."
The hot and sour soup is a vegetarian soup, and the flavor is not too strong.
Compared with the soup made from pork belly, it is indeed a bit different.
In the booth outside the kitchen, Shen Baobao, Zeng Xiaoqi and Dou Wenjing listened to Shu Yun's explanation and regretted going to the movie even more.
An extremely boring movie not only delayed the delicious braised chicken livers, but also missed the most exciting gossip scene. If I were there, I would definitely record it and send it to the group.
By then, a D-cup girl who is about to turn thirty will still beg to withdraw.
While they were chatting, Geng Lele, who was playing with her mobile phone next to her, patted the table:
"Second!"
"What's second?"
Geng Lele flashed her phone at a few gossip beauties:
"It ranks second on the hot search list in Yanjing area."
After a day of fermentation, the video of Baby Shen feeding Dundun has been viewed 1.5 million times. Countless cute pet lovers flocked to the video to watch the cat known as the "Dream Love Cat" over and over again.
Dundun.
So well-behaved and sensible, so cute and beautiful.
Coupled with the shiny fur and round body, who wouldn’t like a kitten like this?
Because they liked Dundun, they watched Lin Xu's other videos, and then fell into the trap and became Lin Ji Boy and Lin Ji Girl.
Then, follow the topic, browse the topic, and post under the topic to increase the popularity.
Step by step, I became a fan of Lin Ji.
Many people who have never been to Beijing also know that there is Yingchun Street on the North Fourth Ring Road of Yanjing, and there is Linji Food on Yingchun Street, and every dish in it is a classic.
Under the influence of this video, Lin Ji's food topic has received a sharp increase in attention, and its popularity has also increased significantly. Finally, it has just reached the second place on the topic list.
Shen Jiayue blinked:
"Doesn't this mean that we are just one step away from first place?"
Zeng Xiaoqi took the phone and looked at it twice, then said:
"It's just one step away, but it's not easy to reach the top, because there's still a seven to eight million popularity gap between the number one spot, so I guess it's quite a struggle."
She has been a topic host for two years and knows the popularity of topics very well.
This kind of ranking depends not only on strength, but also on luck.
Sometimes you put a lot of thought into making a big move, but a celebrity can sneeze and the heat will go up, and you can't even pull it back.
But Baby Shen is very determined:
"Dundun has always brought good luck, maybe it can really surpass the past in terms of popularity."
That video of Dundun performing without any real thing will definitely make the hot search ranking even further.
But that video cannot be posted yet.
You have to let the feeding video ferment again.
Moreover, Lin Xu’s account is always updated every other day. Choose a good time to update it tomorrow to experience the feeling of being at the top of the popularity list.
The next morning.
Lin Xu braised the roast chicken in the braised food department. When he came upstairs, he saw the pork belly soaking in the basin.
Although pork belly is the offal from the pig, it is quite expensive, especially the thickest part of the pork belly, which is firm and crispy and is indispensable for the famous dish "Double Crisp".
p>
The so-called double crispness refers to the crispiness of the belly and the crispiness of the duck gizzards. Only by taking the best parts of the two ingredients can you create a delicious dish.
It takes about six or seven pork bellys and seven or eight duck gizzards to make a fried double crispy dish.
From this we can see how rare this dish is.
However, if we don’t make double crispy fried rice today, Lin Xu’s current cooking skills will not be able to do it. Relatively speaking, it is more practical to make belly soup.
"Is breakfast ready?"
"Okay, today I'm going to eat eight-treasure porridge made with pumpkin and sweet potatoes, paired with beef pot stickers. Boss, do you want to eat it now?"
The chef on the morning shift has to serve the rice whenever he speaks.
Lin Xu said:
"No need for now, I'm going to wake up the boss lady first."
After saying that, he looked at the pork belly soaking in the basin and walked out.
I wanted to pack the pork belly just now, but I thought it would be more appropriate to have breakfast.
Because pork belly, like large intestine, has a strong odor, your hands will still smell for a long time after washing.
Instead of eating breakfast with smelly hands, it’s better to eat it after the meal.
When she came upstairs, she opened the bedroom door and found Baby Shen still sleeping soundly in bed. She was in a very bad state of sleep, with one leg stretched out of the quilt and the other leg on the chair next to the bed.
Lin Xu lay on the bed and pushed her gently:
"Eat, baby, eat... um~~~"
Unexpectedly, this girl was actually pretending to sleep, and Lin Xu was caught off guard and was unexpectedly attacked.
"Humph, I've been waiting for you for a long time, but you didn't call me immediately after entering the door, and you even secretly observed me..."
Baobao Shen smiled slyly, then sat up from the bed and pointed to the wardrobe not far away:
"Xiao Linzi, wait for the Ai family to change their clothes!"
"Hey! Which one do you want to change?"
"That set of purple charming underwear and jeans and a white T-shirt... Wow, that's so fun. No wonder Yan Bao is so keen on the coS chef. However, the chef of Linji Food is me, and she is at best a chef assistant!"
Lin Xu took out the clothes this girl wanted from the closet and threw them on the bed:
"Hurry up and put on your clothes. Today we are going to eat eight-treasure porridge and beef pot stickers. If you go late, the pot stickers will not be as crispy."
As soon as he heard the food, a good baby who was letting his thoughts wander around immediately stopped his thoughts, picked up his clothes and started to put them on.
After washing up, the girl put on a pair of white slip-on shoes, took Lin Xu's arm and took the elevator downstairs.
When they arrived at the store, the young couple had breakfast together.
The eight-treasure porridge is cooked to perfection, and the sweetness of the pumpkin and sweet potato is also very rich.
Served with pot stickers and cold dishes, it tastes pretty good.
After breakfast, Baby Shen took a piece of beef tenderloin steamed in the kitchen and went downstairs to repair the relationship between mother and son.
Lin Xu took out the soaked pork belly.
After you’ve eaten and drank enough, it’s time to put away these high-end ingredients with strong smell.
When pigs are slaughtered at the slaughterhouse, the pork belly, large intestine and other ingredients will be turned over in advance for a preliminary cleaning. At this time, the pork belly is turned over, so you can just grab and wash it without thinking about turning it over.
Question.
Pour out the water from the basin, put the pork belly in, add two handfuls of salt and start scrubbing.
There is a layer of mucus on the surface of pork belly, which is the main source of odor and needs to be washed thoroughly.
After washing with salt, wash it several times with flour until the surface is no longer sticky to the touch.
This is similar to the steps of washing the large intestine, but there are differences.
For example, now, the large intestine can be cooked directly after being washed, but the pork belly needs to be scalded in a pot after being washed.
This is because in addition to the mucus on the surface of the pork belly, there is also a white film, which needs to be boiled before this film can be washed away. Only when this film is removed can the odor be completely removed.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
Boil water in a pot and put the pork belly in after it boils.
As soon as I put it in the pot, a layer of white appeared on my belly. This is the smelly white film.
Use a kitchen knife to carefully scrape and clean the pork belly so that you can eat it with confidence.
After washing this side, carefully turn the pork belly over, scratch and wash the other side twice with flour and salt, and tear off the fat hanging on it.
After it is completely cleaned.
Put the pork belly into the pot one by one, add half the pot of water, add green onions and ginger slices into the pot, pour some white wine, then add two slices of white pepper and a few white buckles, and start cooking.
In many video tutorials, braised pork belly is used to make tripe soup, which is wrong.
The braised pork belly has a strong braised aroma. If you make soup, the soup will be full of the braised flavor, and the fresh flavor of the pork belly itself will not be tasted at all.
As for raw pork belly, if you make the soup directly, it will have a rich organ flavor.
The best way is to boil the pork belly in boiling water until it is raw, which can not only remove the peculiar smell of the pork belly, but also keep the pork belly tender and smooth.
Bring the water in the pot to a boil, carefully skim off the scum, then cover the pot, reduce the heat to low and simmer for ten minutes.
The reason for turning the heat to low is to make the pork belly taste more tender. If the heat is kept high, the cooked pork belly will taste hard, and the taste of the cooked tripe soup will be slightly worse.
While the kitchen was busy, Xie Baomin drove his Cayenne on the North Fourth Ring Road, carrying Su Peipei in the passenger seat and Su Yuchun in the back seat and speeding towards Yingchun Street.
"Da Chun'er, your sister and I will go do something later. Just wait for me at Linji, but don't talk nonsense."
"Don't worry, brother-in-law, I will never tell Lin Xu about your visit to the doctor!"
