Chapter 524 It’s so happy for the whole family to eat together! Make rock sugar bird’s nests for the elderly! [Please vote for me]
"Lao Gao, just ring the doorbell. Why are you shouting?"
Uncle Gao's voice quickly called Qiu Yaozu over. The old man was speechless. He had already made up his mind to pretend that he was not at home when Old Gao came to the door.
Who would have known that this guy doesn't play by common sense.
Not only did he not contact me in advance, he didn't even ring the doorbell, and just banged the door knocker in such a loud voice.
If you don't open the door quickly and let him in, the neighbors might think that they owe foreign debts and are being violently collected.
"My apprentice is having a wedding, and all his family members have come to the capital. As the master, I have to give you some affordable gifts, so I came to find you."
Uncle Gao led Luo Shan inside.
Qiu Yaozu looked helpless:
"You came to my place to give gifts to your apprentice. Do you really think you are a bandit?"
"No, I thought you were a big landowner. Today I'm here to fight against the local tyrants and divide their land."
Uncle Gao was wearing a black down jacket and a woolen hat, and walked vigorously. He looked like he was only in his fifties, while Qiu Yaozu, who was a few years older, was obviously a bit older.
From a visual point of view, the two are at least twenty years apart.
After entering the door, Uncle Gao unzipped his down jacket and pointed at Luo Shan beside him:
"This is my girlfriend Ms. Luo Shan. We have traveled more than half of China together. We have a more intuitive understanding of the mountains, rivers and rivers that we only saw in books, online, and movies and TV shows in the past. We have also seen the customs and customs of many places.
."
He suddenly became serious, which made Qiu Yaozu a little uncomfortable:
"Hello, Ms. Luo, just tell the nanny what to drink. We have ginger date tea, rose tea, and other drinks that are more suitable for women."
Although he felt that he was going to be ripped off today, for some reason, Qiu Yaozu was filled with emotions when he saw his former old man bringing his girlfriend to visit his home.
When I was young, for the sake of cooking, everyone wanted to beat the brains out of a dog.
But now that they have passed the age of competing for cooking skills, the only thing that senior chefs who have retired at home can compete with is the skills of their younger generations.
But there’s nothing to compete with.
The middle-aged generation is basically being suppressed by Xie Baomin.
And it is said that this bitch secretly started practicing white cases this year.
When we catch up, let alone Diaoyutai, even if we put all the chefs in foreign-related hotels in the entire capital together, Xie Baomin can still stand out from the crowd.
As for the younger generation, not to mention, Lin Xu has basically become a benchmark for the younger generation.
Not only is his cooking skills far ahead, but his business acumen is also not to mention. When talking about Lin Xu now, he will basically be put together with Xie Baomin, Qiu Zhenhua and others.
He has caught up with an entire generation.
Given time, he will definitely become a leader like Gao Peisheng.
When he was young, he was suppressed by Lao Gao. Finally, when he was old, Lao Gao's two apprentices continued to suppress him. In this case, who would mention cooking skills? Of course, it was just reminiscing about old things.
The guys are like a family.
Luo Shan smiled and said:
"Master Qiu, you're welcome. I just want brown sugar ginger tea."
The nanny next to me agreed, and then respectfully asked Uncle Gao:
"Mr. Gao, what are you drinking?"
"Just get him a glass of cold water. It's annoying to see this guy. He gives gifts to his apprentice's family, but he comes to my house to look for them. He's really a bandit!"
Qiu Yaozu muttered angrily, and the nanny smiled and went to make tea.
Uncle Gao was not angry, and continued to chat happily about his recent travels.
"People in the northwest region have a good grasp of hot and sour flavors. In any small restaurant, the stir-fried shredded potatoes and mung bean sprouts will be very good, not to mention the beef and mutton. The only drawback is that the presentation is not good."
p>
Qiu Yaozu nodded:
"This is the style of Northwest cuisine. The Yin family in Building 12 has been working hard in this area... I heard that there are elderly people in Xiaoxu's family, and I happen to have two century-old ginseng plants in my collection. You can take them away later.
”
"I'm so sorry, but there are five elderly people in the Lin family, the Chen family, the Shen family, and the Han family. You can't give me two plants... If you have any good things, bring them out to open my eyes."
Qiu Yaozu originally thought it would be good to give him two ginseng plants, but who knew that this bitch Lao Gao would actually open his mouth like a lion?
It's a pity that we don't have a dog at home, otherwise we would have to let the dog bite this old thing now.
He tapped the ground with his cane:
"Everything is in the basement. You can take whatever you want. I'll give you these as gifts. If you have a wedding later, I'll go to the banquet empty-handed."
Uncle Gao smiled:
"We don't plan to have a wedding. Even if we get the certificate, we won't be busy with the ceremony. It's tiring and there's no need. If my little apprentice hadn't held the wedding, I would be riding an elephant in short-sleeves right now."
This cold weather in Beijing is really not suitable for the elderly to live.
Relatively speaking, the tropical areas in the south are better and more nurturing.
While they were chatting, Lin Xu was at the high-speed rail station and finally received a large family.
Four brothers and sisters, Lin Hongjun, Lin Hongxin, Lin Hongqi, and Lin Hongxia, three brothers and sisters Chen Meide, Chen Meiliang, and Chen Meijuan, and two elderly people, Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Chen, plus Lin Xu’s aunts, uncles, Shi Moli, Chen Shaokang and other young people
There were twenty or thirty people in the crowd, like a tourist group.
"Mom, this way!"
Shen Jiayue handed Dundun to Lin Xu and ran to the turnstile. As soon as Chen Meijuan paid for the high-speed rail ticket and came out, this girl came over and chatted enthusiastically like a mother and daughter.
Lin Xu hugged Dundun and led everyone to the parking lot. After everyone got in the car, he drove everyone to Yingchun Street on the North Fourth Ring Road.
"My cousin, this car is so handsome, I like it so much."
"Study hard if you like it, and when you grow up, earn money and buy one."
"I will work hard and be admitted to the Central University of Finance and Economics and become a qualified chef."
Chen Shaokang's words made Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue of the Central University of Finance and Economics think twice. They were considering whether to take this boy to the school and tell him with practical actions that there is no cooking major at the Central University of Finance and Economics.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
However, there are still financial schools that claim to specialize in pig killing, and they are very powerful.
On the way, Chen Meijuan held Dundun in her arms and felt that the little guy's figure was more rounded than when he walked last time, and his naive appearance really looked like a child.
Lin Hongqi looked at the scenery outside the car window and said with a smile:
"Originally, all the relatives had to come, but we thought it was too much trouble. And since we have to entertain guests when we go back during the Spring Festival, there is no need for everyone to run around. We are all so busy during the Chinese New Year."
The Lin family and the Chen family are Lin Xu's direct relatives, and there are also some cousins and Lin Hongqi's uncles and brothers. These people who have not entered the fifth server also belong to their own family.
But Lin Hongqi didn't let them come over, not because he was afraid of trouble, but mainly because it was Chinese New Year and it was difficult to buy tickets. Everyone was very busy, especially those who worked in the workplace. They were busy writing summaries during this period of time before the year, so...
Forget it.
Lin Xu was driving while listening to his father's nagging.
Once upon a time, Lin Hongqi didn't like these red tapes, but now she talks about who has given the etiquette in advance, who has not followed the etiquette if they don't entertain guests, etc.
Lin Xu was very emotional after hearing these chatter.
When you feel that your parents are nagging you, it means that you have grown up, and it also means that your parents are old.
Dad never said this in the past, but today he almost said it all the time.
It is said that a tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and a child wants to be raised but cannot be cared for by relatives. I cannot wait until this day to realize this. Anyway, now I have obtained the qualifications for settling in and the household registration book. I will go back to transfer my parents’ household registration here.
Forget about settling in the capital.
Lin Xu received the household registration book a few days ago, and went to get the marriage certificate with Shen Jiayue.
Now the two are considered a legal couple, but Chinese people believe that registration does not count as marriage, only worshiping heaven and earth counts.
Chen Meijuan asked:
"Is it okay where you live?"
Shen Jiayue said:
"No problem, there are so many guest rooms in Building 1, so everyone will be rich with one room."
"Where is the room where you got married?"
"It's ready. It's the presidential suite in Building 10. When the time comes, Xu Bao will take a limousine to pick me up in Building 10 and go to Building 1 to worship heaven and earth."
In terms of concierge and etiquette, Diaoyutai is considered the place with the highest standards in China.
Whether it's a Western-style carriage, a Chinese-style sedan, or various types of courtesy cars, we have them all here.
When Chen Meijuan heard this, she was completely relieved.
However, I still feel a little regretful, because when other people's children get married, their parents are busy planning it, but when my own son gets married, his parents don't have much opportunity to participate.
I was like a bystander throughout the whole process.
Fortunately, in the afternoon, I could put up stickers, balloons, and garland in the house where my son lived. It was considered as fulfilling the obligations of a parent and not completely becoming a bystander.
When we arrived at Yingchun Street, the car pulled over and everyone got out of the car.
Although I have seen it in videos many times, seeing the front door of Linji Food in real life still makes people feel a sense of pride.
This is the career that my children started in the capital.
It is a height that many people cannot reach in their lifetime!
Chen Meiliang took out her mobile phone and took a photo, then sent it to her circle of friends:
"I didn't expect that I would come to the capital again many years later to attend the wedding of my eldest nephew. My nephew's career has made rapid progress. As an uncle, I feel ashamed."
Now he has become a prominent figure in Yinzhou because of his work on the horse farm.
But unlike the last time when he made a fortune raising chickens, Chen Meiliang has always been modest and low-key. He refuses banquets if he can, and avoids banquets if he can.
If you can't avoid it, just keep a low profile and show that you are just a handyman running errands for the big boss.
But the more he behaves like this, the more polite people in the Yinzhou circle will be to him, because this kind of incomprehensible behavior is the most fearful.
And this is exactly the effect Chen Meiliang wants.
The biggest trouble for the racecourse is the period before its opening.
When really famous horses come in and the entire racecourse is on the right track, there is no need to worry anymore, because as long as you become a large taxpayer, the government will provide all protection.
Even if they intend to cause trouble, those evil and evil gangsters still have to think carefully.
Lin Hongqi said to Lin Xu:
"After Mr. Yan invested, the racecourse became a key support project of Yinzhou City. Your second uncle was interviewed all day long and participated in the city's investment preparatory meetings. He was very busy."
Chen Meiliang smiled:
"I am just trying to show off my power. Without the support of Mr. Shen and Mr. Yan, I will be torn into pieces in minutes."
Just as he was talking, Shen Guofu drove his Bentley and brought Mrs. Shen to join in the fun.
As soon as he got off the bus, he greeted brothers Chen Meide and Chen Meiliang:
"Big brother and second brother, welcome to the capital."
After that, he said hello to Lin Hongjun, and took a few boxes of imported cigars, and each person gave everyone a box.
Mrs. Shen came to Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Lin familiarly and greeted them warmly.
Among the three elderly people, Mrs. Lin is the oldest. In addition, she has been a principal all her life, and she also came to the capital as a representative back then, so she naturally has the look of an old lady.
"Ever since I heard Yueyue say that I grew up with my grandma, I really wanted to come and meet you. Thank you for raising such a good girl. Our old Lin family is really happy."
"Sister-in-law, what you said is wrong. Our family Yueyue can meet Xiaoxu, which is a blessing."
Mrs. Shen was very happy that both her granddaughter and granddaughter had found their right husband. Every time she went to her home for dinner, the whole alley neighborhood came to see her.
One is a good-looking chef, and the other is a good-looking detective.
Who would have thought that the poorest family in the entire alley would not only be rich and prosperous, but also the next generation would be so perfect and outstanding, which is really enviable and jealous.
"Stop talking outside, let's go in. Lunch has been arranged upstairs."
Han Shuzhen and Chen Yan came out of the store and invited everyone in.
When Chen Yan saw Chen Meijuan, she came close to her. She called Aunt Chen one by one, which made Chen Meijuan very happy, and she unconsciously got a beautiful niece.
When we arrived at the store, we first visited the first floor, then went upstairs to the reserved large private room, where the family sat together.
When Chen Yuanyuan came back from her shift, there were already a lot of various cold dishes on the table that served as appetizers.
"Sister, my cousin's shop is right here, why do you have to sell steamed buns?"
Chen Shaokang looked puzzled.
In his opinion, since he is one of his own family, he must find the most leisurely job.
Chen Yuanyuan hit him on the head:
"Don't think like this again in the future. The more you are on your own, the more effective you will be, otherwise you will become a moth. Have a good meal. I will take you to Tsinghua University in the afternoon to let you feel the learning atmosphere there."
"I don't want to go to Tsinghua University, I want to get admitted to the Central University of Finance and Economics!"
Chen Yuanyuan was very happy:
"Do you really want to be a chef?"
"Nonsense, I want to be like my cousin, study hard and earn money. As long as you perform well in the future, I will give you a sports car as a gift!"
Chen Yuanyuan picked up a piece of roast chicken wing and put it into her mouth:
"I wanted to take you to buy a laptop. Since my brother is so generous, let's forget it. It just saved me a lot of money."
"Sister, I was wrong. When I have money, I will buy you two sports cars!"
"The one with Nanfu batteries? Hurry up and eat. Remember, brother, men's ambitions are not spoken, but acted out. If you keep talking about it, it will make people think you are superficial."
"Oh, I know."
In the kitchen, Lin Xu was using tweezers to pick out feathers from the bird's nest that had been soaked for three hours.
Bird's nest is a famous nourishing product since ancient times. It is rich in colloid. The most common way to make it is to make rock sugar bird's nest.
When making it, first soak the bird's nest in pure water for three to four hours, changing the water once in the middle to soak the originally dry and hard bird's nest.
Then use small tweezers to pick out all the feathers and impurities inside.
This not only makes the bird's nest look purer and whiter, but also effectively removes odor, making the bird's nest taste better and more delicious.
The bird's nest is silky and silky, and when soaked it looks a bit like shark's fin.
After Lin Xu sorted out the impurities inside, he tore the bird's nests into strips according to the texture, washed them again, then put them into a stew pot, put two red dates with the pits removed, and added purified water.
Then put the stew pots into the steamer one by one and start stewing.
Bird's nest cannot be boiled directly, otherwise it will easily stick to the pan. It needs to be stewed in a water-separated pot and heated indirectly to melt the colloid of the bird's nest into the water.
This kind of soup is more friendly to women, and drinking it can improve your beauty.
While stewing, Lin Xu took a large piece of old rock sugar and smashed it with the back of a knife. The so-called rock sugar bird's nest requires adding some rock sugar.
It is best to use yellow rock sugar, which has a moderate sweetness and the fresh taste of sugar cane.
Rock sugar should not be added too early, otherwise the sweetness will be too strong. It is usually added five minutes before serving, so that the fresh and sweet taste of the rock sugar that has just melted can be retained in the soup.
After simmering for half an hour, Lin Xu opened the lid of the pot and put the crushed rock sugar into small stew pots.
At this moment Wei Gan came over and asked:
"Lin Xu, the roasted whole lamb is ready, will you serve it to your family now?"
"Here we go, and we'll also serve two more portions of roast goose. There are so many people today, so don't run out of food."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
Wei Qian left in a hurry. Lin Xu put in the rock sugar, closed the pot lid, and looked at the electronic clock hanging on the wall, silently writing down the time in his mind.
Five minutes passed quickly.
He opened the lid of the pot and took out all the stew pots inside. The car boy and two helpers next to him hurriedly carried out the dishes.
At the door of the private room, Shu Yun looked at the stew pot that was delivered and asked curiously:
"What is this?"
"The red dates and rock sugar bird's nest made by the boss... I specially left a portion for you. You can eat it on the second floor later."
Bird's nest is a good thing. Shu Yun thanked the waiter, took the tray and delivered it in person.
"Come, come, try the bird's nest with red dates and rock sugar made by the boss himself. The bird's nest was prepared this morning, specially to give the elders a surprise."
Most of the men here have no interest in bird's nests.
But women are different. Regardless of the younger generation Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan, the middle-aged generation Han Shuzhen Chen Meijuan, or the elderly such as Mrs. Shen, they all showed expressions of surprise.
"Bring it here quickly, I'll taste it for everyone."
"Tch, I said it's rock sugar bird's nest, how salty do you think it is?"
Shen Jiayue habitually quarreled with Chen Yan, then looked at Shu Yun and asked:
"Do you have any? Why don't you take one away and you can try it too."
"There's a portion left downstairs. You guys can eat first. Just tell me which dish you want to add and I'll have someone arrange it."
Downstairs, Lin Xu cooked the flamed drunken goose that Shen Guofu had longed for. He recalled that his grandma used to like to eat San Bu Guo, and this delicacy is indeed a specialty of Yinzhou.
So I brought some eggs and prepared to make this legendary dessert dish for my family to try.
