"The host competed with his fellow disciples in cooking skills across the air, completed the hidden task [Competition with fellow disciples], and obtained the perfect Cantonese snack - carrot cake. Congratulations to the host."
Oh!
Carrot cake?
Lin Xu didn't expect that he could reap such benefits by accidentally cooking the same dish with his senior brother.
What an unexpected surprise!
"Xubao, can I eat it?"
Shen Jiayue can't wait to try this tofu dish that looks like tofu and contains tofu as raw material. How delicious can it be?
Lin Xu came back to his senses and said with a smile:
"Let's eat at the restaurant. By the way, let our mother bring over the wrapped wild vegetable dumplings. I'm going to cook the dumplings."
"Okay, okay."
Shen Jiayue held the plate in both hands and went to the restaurant happily.
On the other side, Linji Food in Beijing.
Xie Baomin looked at the photos on Chen Yan's phone and said with a smile:
"I really didn't expect that my junior brother actually knew how to do this, and accidentally got into a duel in the air. Fortunately, Lao Dai and the others were not around, otherwise they would have started making fun of us."
As he was talking, he noticed the upper left corner of his dish and said quickly:
"It's over, it's over, I will definitely be scolded by Master now."
I just wanted to explain this dish to the chefs, but I didn't expect that a green onion leaf stuck to the tofu. Although it was only on the side, the master would definitely scold him when he saw it.
After all, this green onion leaf is already a major mistake.
Xie Baomin picked up the chopsticks and picked up the green onion leaves.
It's okay to make do with other aspects, but when it comes to your own job, you can't be careless at all.
"Can you eat it? Chef Xie?"
"Eat, eat, Xiao Zhu, bring out the food and prepare to eat."
Xie Baomin was very happy at first, but now he is not in a good mood.
For housewives or general food lovers, this kind of mistake is very common, but for a player with the prefix Guo like him, such a low-level mistake should not be made.
Su Peipei on the side asked curiously:
"What's wrong? Why do you feel so depressed?"
"It's okay, I just made some mistakes in cooking. I didn't see the green onion leaf... You guys can eat. I'll go to the kitchen to make a few dishes to practice and get a feel for it."
I have been busy celebrating the New Year these days and haven’t practiced basic skills much.
It's time to put some pressure on yourself.
Within Longqishan Scenic Area.
When Shen Jiayue walked into the restaurant with a batch of tofu, Shen Guofu, who was helping to make dumplings, took a look and asked curiously:
"Girl, this is the first-grade tofu made by Xiaoxu? Isn't it just roasted tofu?"
"Yeah, it's just ordinary roasted tofu. Dad, you don't have to eat it if you don't want to eat it. If you want to eat meat, I'll ask Xu Bao to get you two braised pig trotters."
Humph, I am worried about not having enough food.
Shen Guofu originally thought that chewing pig's trotters would be better than eating tofu, but when he saw his daughter's expression, he immediately said:
"We'll talk about the pig's trotters later. I'll try Xiaoxu's craftsmanship first... The dumplings have just been made, so it's time to start lunch."
Chen Meijuan and Qi Xiangzhi took out the wrapped dumplings, and the second aunt cleared the table.
Shen Jiayue placed a piece of tofu and brought the bowl and chopsticks over. As soon as they were placed, Shen Guofu picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of tofu and put it into his mouth.
He originally planned to taste it and then wait to eat dumplings and pig's trotters.
But as soon as the tofu was in his mouth, Shen Guofu felt the unique deliciousness of animal fat, especially the umami flavor, which instantly reminded him of chicken.
Oops, this tofu uses chicken fat.
But if you just add some chicken fat, you can’t be called Yipin, right?
Just as he was wondering, he bit into the tofu, and a delicious and fragrant soup immediately flowed into his mouth, which made Lao Shen's eyes widen immediately.
I want to talk, but I am worried that the soup will spill out of my mouth.
It feels like you have encountered something happy but cannot share it with others.
Moreover, the delicious flavor is rich and long-lasting. Once you chew it, the delicate texture of tofu and the feeling of ironing will fill your mouth.
When he finally ate the whole piece of tofu, he couldn't help but exclaimed:
"This is the first time I have eaten such delicious tofu in my life. It doesn't look like tofu at all. No wonder it is called first-class tofu. Such deliciousness deserves to be ranked first-class!"
When you reach the level of first-class people, you no longer need those flashy appearances to prove yourself, but you need to return to nature, transforming from gorgeousness to simplicity.
But after one sip, one immediately feels astonished as hearing thunder in a silent place.
This is Yipin, seemingly ordinary, low-key and restrained.
But the universe is hidden within, and there are hills and valleys in the chest.
What a great dish!
Lao Shen was filled with emotion, and Lin Hongjun on the side smiled and said:
"Is this a homemade tofu dish?"
Although I know you want to praise your son-in-law, is this too much?
As an uncle, I can’t bear to listen anymore.
He picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, and suddenly he became like Lao Shen. Before he could swallow the tofu, he hesitated to say something, but he was afraid that the delicious soup would spill out.
I waited until I finished eating the tofu before I couldn't help but sigh:
"This is the first time in my life that I have eaten such delicious tofu. You all have a try. Xiaoxu's craftsmanship is really amazing. No wonder it is called Yipin Tofu. The name really suits this dish."
As a front-line worker in education, he doesn’t say he has a lot of beautiful articles, but it’s okay to say a bunch of colorful words.
But at this moment, it was so delicious that he couldn't think of any other words at all, so he had to repeat Shen Guofu's words to express his inner excitement and joy.
After everyone tasted it, they were all amazed.
When Lin Xu came to the restaurant with pig's trotters and several small cold dishes with dumplings, such as shredded red oil ears, garlic cucumbers and other dishes, he saw everyone's faces full of joy and asked curiously:
"What's going on? Did you encounter anything happy?"
Shen Jiayue came over and helped him put the dishes on the table and said:
"Everyone was shocked by the first-grade tofu you made. I didn't expect tofu to be so delicious. You are so awesome, Xu Bao!"
Lin Xu smiled:
"It's not me who is great, it's the person who invented this dish who is great."
He picked up the chopsticks on the table, picked up a piece of tofu and tasted it. It tasted really good.

Not long after, the dumplings were cooked. When Chen Meijuan brought the dumplings, she also brought chili oil, garlic juice, persimmon vinegar, laba garlic and other small ingredients.
Everyone is free to mix and match and eat whatever they want.
While eating dumplings, Shen Jiayue asked in a low voice:
"Xubao, what are we going to do this afternoon? Are you going to have a barbecue?"
Lin Xu nodded:
"Prepare the ingredients for the barbecue tonight, make some gluten, take out the duck from the refrigerator, and soak it in salt brine."
He just opened the refrigerator and took a look, and found that the ducks were almost cooked. I don't know whether it was due to the proper salting yesterday or the amount of salt used.
It’s time to put it in the salt brine. It just needs three marinades and three dryings, so start in the afternoon, hang it up to dry in the evening, and cook it tomorrow morning, so as not to delay eating at noon.
The wild vegetable dumplings are very delicious, especially when shrimps are added. The shrimps and chopped eggs completely bring out the deliciousness of the wild vegetables.
It tastes delicious, even better than stuffed leeks.
Shen Guofu originally wanted to nibble on a pig's trotter, but he was completely out of mood at this time. Even though everyone had eaten all the tofu, he still couldn't stop pouring the dumplings in the bowl into the plate containing the tofu, and dipped the dumplings into the rest. Eat the soup.
But it should be said that this kind of bland dumplings paired with the rich and fragrant tofu soup is really perfect, and it tastes like eating meat dumplings.
"Hey, my dad is so generous that he even spares the soup. My aunt and uncle are coming over tomorrow, how about making first-class tofu?"
Shen Jiayue asked with a smile.
Tomorrow not only the eldest aunt and the second aunt's family will come, but also the cousins and the rest of the family, which was agreed upon before.
The scenic spot is quite far, and everyone comes here every once in a while. Not only is the road unsafe, but it is also troublesome, so we come here together, have a lively meal, chat with the elderly, and visit relatives during the New Year.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the scenic spot will officially go to work and start making money. On the morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Xu will also drive away. At that time, Shen Guofu and his wife will accompany Mrs. Shen to take the high-speed rail back.
Business class tickets have already been arranged by the company, so there is no need to worry here.
Although the Chinese New Year is very happy, we must continue to struggle when we should. Only by working harder can we have the happiness and relaxation we have now. These are complementary to each other.
Lao Shen put the dumpling into his mouth and said in response:
"Make more, this tofu is so delicious, I can't eat enough... By the way, the sheep that Lao Huang sent through the cold chain will arrive in the afternoon. There are two in total. Let's grill one and use one to make salt-fried lamb. What do you think?"
Lin Xu said:
"One is enough. Two is too much and I can't finish it. I'll just make it into salt-fried mutton and keep the remaining one to eat. This kind of Ximeng sheep is hard to buy here."
Tomorrow there will be salted duck, first-grade tofu and other dishes. If you make two sheep, you will definitely not be able to finish them all.
After the meal, everyone worked together to clear the table.
Lin Xu used chopsticks to spread the remaining dumplings in the kitchen, put them on a tray and put them in the refrigerator. They will fry them in the afternoon and they will taste more delicious.
After cleaning all the pots and pans in the kitchen, he took out the duck from the refrigerator.
After nearly twenty hours of marinating, a lot of blood was produced from the duck meat. Take the duck out, control the blood for a while, and put it into the salt brine.
The ducks cannot be rinsed at this time because raw water will be brought into the brine.
Put the salt and peppercorns on the surface directly into it, put them all away, and then use a heavier plate to press it on, so that the duck is completely soaked in the salt brine.
After marinating the duck in this pot of salt for several times, it will become old marinade.
At that time, the flavor of the duck would be greatly improved, but it is not possible now. The new marinade will slightly reduce the quality of the duck meat.
This change is subtle and cannot be discerned by ordinary people.
But those old masters can still feel the difference between new ones and old ones.
After finishing all this, Lin Xu checked the time, took a large mixing bowl, poured half a bowl of gluten into it, added a small spoonful of salt, and kneaded it into a dough with water.
Gluten flour is different from flour. After it forms into a ball, it no longer absorbs water.
So when kneading the noodles, you can pour more water. Anyway, you can pour out the excess water after mixing.
The mixed dough is placed in a basin and begins to ferment.
Once the fermentation is complete, you can make gluten.
An hour later, Lin Xuchong shouted to Shen Jiayue and Xiaolei who were playing badminton:
"Come on, help me make gluten. Let's do it together. This will make it faster, and I'll find you a job to kill time."
Shen Jiayue asked curiously:
"Can we do Xubao too?"
"Yes, making gluten is very simple and you can learn it once you learn it."
Take the gluten ball out of the basin, place it on the chopping board, first cut it from the middle with a knife, then cut it into slices, and finally cut it into long strips.
Lin Xu pulled the cut strips and stretched them as long as possible.
Then wrap one end around the chopsticks and wrap up the remaining gluten. When wrapping, pull it back as much as possible to make the gluten taste stronger.
When the wrapping is completed, shovel the gluten onto the chopsticks, and then push the gluten wrapped up on the chopsticks so that the cylindrical gluten will press the dough head.
Push down again and a piece of gluten is finished.
Shen Jiayue was surprised:
"Can this be grilled and eaten?"
Lin Xu threw the wrapped gluten into the water to soak, and said with a smile:
"It's not good yet. It needs to be cooked and shaped later. Only when the gluten is cooked can it be grilled on the charcoal fire."
Everyone washed their hands, picked up their chopsticks and started wrapping them.
I feel that this is not cooking food at all, but a handicraft class in kindergarten.
Chen Shaokang said boldly:
"It's a bit naive for Jasmine and the others, but it's just right for me."
He is still thinking about the poisoning at night. Then let the classmates see the roasted gluten I made, will they cry?
There is strength in numbers, and soon a lot of gluten with chopsticks in it was soaked in the basin.
When it was almost soaked, Lin Xu took out the gluten, took out the chopsticks one by one, then put the large caterpillar-like gluten into the pot and cooked it on low heat for half an hour.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
When you take it out again, the gluten has obviously shrunk.
But it feels more elastic and has a rich flavor.
Soak these glutens in water, and now it's time to soak the duck in the brine.
Lin Xu fished out the duck and hung it on the clothesline in the yard.
There is wind, sunshine, and dry weather at the moment, so the ducks dry very quickly.
Then he took a bamboo skewer, pierced the cooked gluten on it, and started cutting it by turning it in a circle with a kitchen knife. After cutting, the gluten was pulled apart, and a bunch of baked gluten pieces were officially ready.
In the evening, just brush it with special barbecue sauce and put it on the grill for grilling.
After finishing cutting the gluten, he took out the chicken wings and other ingredients he bought from the refrigerator, cutting what should be cut, soaking what should be soaked, and marinating what should be marinated.
Throughout the afternoon, Lin Xu was busy drying ducks, soaking ducks, and preparing barbecue ingredients.
It's not dark yet, but Chen Shaokang can't wait:
"Okay, cousin? Shall I start making a fire?"
Lin Xu was busy putting on potato chips at the moment. Seeing that his little cousin was impatient, he said:
"Let's light the fire and we'll start grilling meat later."
We have prepared a lot of barbecue ingredients today, including chicken wings, chicken feet, prawns, beef breast oil, fish tofu, sausages, pork belly, lamb chops, and other meat dishes, as well as eggplant, gluten, potato slices, leeks, green peppers, tofu rolls, etc.
Vegetarian dishes.
The variety is very complete and richer than ordinary stalls.
Lin Xu put on a glove on his right hand, grabbed a handful of meat skewers, put them on the charcoal fire and started grilling them.
In order to prevent the elderly from getting used to it, Lin Xu specially used shrimps and the remaining gnocchi from the last steamed hollow steamed buns to make a small pot of gnocchi soup and eat it with fried dumplings.
But what I didn't expect was that the three old people liked kebabs very much.
Maybe I haven’t eaten it before, so I didn’t associate this kind of street snack with junk food.
Needless to say, the middle-aged generation are sitting around the charcoal stove in the restaurant. There are cold beers and various cold dishes on the table. For those who don’t know, they might think they are eating from a street stall.
When the meat skewers were grilled until they were sizzling and dripping with oil, Chen Shaokang came over with his mobile phone and started taking videos.
Shen Jiayue looked at it and said:
"Give me your phone and I'll take pictures for you."
She directly zoomed in on the camera to three times the focal length, took a ten-second close-up of the dripping oil on the meat skewers, and then slowly zoomed out to reveal the entirety of the meat skewers.
When Lin Xu sprinkled the chili noodles, he switched to slow motion and perfectly captured the scene of the chili noodles being sprinkled on the meat skewers at close range.
In order to get a better effect, she also took out the fill light she usually used to shoot videos and used surface light and backlight on the meat skewers.
With the blessing of professional players, the poisonous video immediately became more popular.
The picture is delicious and attractive, and there is even a hint of humanistic care, which made Lin Xu sigh inwardly.
As a cousin-in-law, you have to let your cousin Shaokang be beaten violently by the whole class, right?
This kind of video will attract a wave of criticism, let alone among classmates, even among the fans of Lin Ji Food, and there is no way to quell the public anger without two red envelopes.
But considering Chen Shaokang’s young age, it’s not a bad thing to suffer a little loss, so Lin Xu didn’t stop him.
"I think the idea of brushing honey on the surface of chicken wings is really great. It tastes really delicious when baked."
Xiaolei ate the skewers and praised Lin Xu's craftsmanship.
Cousin Lin Bin agreed:
"Yes, it's super delicious. The Coke chicken wings made by my sister-in-law yesterday were also delicious. I was full and wanted to eat more."
When Shen Jiayue heard this, she immediately said happily:
"Xiao Bin, do you still want to eat Coke chicken wings? If you want to eat, continue to make them tomorrow!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaolei immediately said:
"Do more, do more, Jasmine was so hungry at home yesterday that her father drove to buy several kilograms of chicken wings without even eating."
Tsk, I originally thought that only Chen Shaokang was the one who put the poison, but I didn’t expect that someone else would put the poison in front of Jasmine. He really got Shen Jiayue’s true legacy.
When preparing to bake gluten, Lin Xu asked:
"Are there any requirements for the texture of gluten?"
"I want it to be a little burnt."
"I want something softer."
"It's so spicy, it's best if you can make me cry."
"I put less sauce. I don't like to eat anything too salty."
"..."
The young people chatted about their requirements, but the middle-aged people in the room were very casual and had no requirements for skewers. They could grill whatever they wanted.
After all, eating street stalls in summer is mainly to drink beer to cool off.
As long as the taste of the food is acceptable, don’t be picky.
Lin Xu roasted the gluten and was sitting in front of the charcoal stove while he was eating. Dundun sneaked out of the house and circled around the charcoal stove.
Lin Xu looked at it and asked curiously:
"What? You want to eat barbecue too?"
"Meow~~"
Hey, it seems that the little guy is also greedy for the smell of meat.
However, the prepared ingredients are all seasoned and are not suitable for it to eat.
Lin Xu thought for a while, got up and went to the kitchen.
When Lao Huang asked someone to deliver the chilled mutton in the afternoon, he also delivered a large piece of Wagyu beef.
Recalling that the little one had eaten wagyu last time, Lin Xu cut it into thin slices and prepared to sear it on the charcoal stove to make charcoal-grilled wagyu.
If there is no suitable meat, I will use Wagyu beef for the time being. I hope the little one won’t dislike it.
The meat was quite hot at first, and Dundun looked cute when she wanted to eat but didn't dare.
But after it was warmed up, it lowered its head and ate the beef on the plate. Shen Jiayue filmed this scene and posted it to the fan group.
The whole group went crazy instantly:
"Here I go, are Dundun eating wagyu?"
"Welcome to the series "People are worse than cats."
"I have never envied a cat so sincerely."
"There is a little kitten here that is over 200 months old. I beg a caring young lady to take it in."
"Are you asking for shelter? I wouldn't even dare to expose you!"
"It's okay to take in, just do the sterilization first!"
"..."
The group was very lively. Shen Jiayue glanced at it casually, then put away her phone and ate skewers in peace.
While eating, she looked at the ducks hanging in the yard, and began to long for tomorrow's salted duck...
