Chapter 568 The better the chicken soup is, the more tragic the character will be! TV fans! [Please subscribe]
"Xubao, have you finished drinking with everyone?"
After leaving the private room, Lin Xugang came to the second floor. Shen Jiayue, who was editing a video, took off her headphones and asked curiously.
She couldn't drink, so she didn't go to the private room. Instead, she was editing the piano playing video she took yesterday in front of the booth on the second floor.
I haven’t practiced piano recently, which has led to some decline in my skills.
So she simply played the theme song of "Mission: Impossible" for Dundun, and while playing, she placed a Maxari car model next to Dundun.
Lin Xu looked at the editing progress and said with a smile:
"They are drunk and want to taste the chicken tip soup. I will make it."
Chicken tip soup?
Shen Jiayue looked curious:
"Can a chicken butt be made into soup?"
The term "chicken tip" exists in various places, but the corresponding parts are different in each place.
In some places, the tips of chicken wings are called chicken tips, in some places, the chicken buttocks are called chicken tips, and in some places, the chicken tips refer to chicken gizzards.
The land area is so vast that there are great differences in names, customs, etc.
Lin Xu pinched this girl’s cheek:
"It's not the butt of the chicken, it's the tip of the chicken wing."
Researchers in "Jin Ping Mei" actually have a debate on whether to use chicken butts or chicken wing tips for chicken tip soup, but the author of the book explains the method in detail. Chicken tip refers to the tip of chicken wings, and the tip of chicken wings of tender chickens is also required.<
/p>
It’s not difficult to make. Blanch the tips of chicken wings and remove the bones, cut them into thin strips, boil them in clear chicken soup, add pepper and vinegar to make a spicy and sour soup.
In terms of taste, it should be the hot and sour soup commonly seen in the north.
In the book, Chunmei’s reason is that she feels unwell and wants to drink some chicken tip soup. This is the same as northerners drinking hot and sour soup when they feel unwell.
Add more pepper to induce sweating, and the symptoms will disappear naturally.
Even in today's 21st century, this tradition still exists.
"Can chicken wing tips be used to make soup?"
Shen Jiayue hung the headphones around her neck and looked at Lin Xu with a smile:
"Then what can I try?"
"Of course, as long as the baby wants to eat, I will do it immediately."
"Thank you Xubao, Mua~"
Shen Jiayue stood up and kissed Lin Xu. At that moment, Chen Yan came up from the stairs. When she saw this scene, she couldn't help but make a "tsk, tsk" sound:
"It's broad daylight and you're still in the store, can't you two keep it together?"
When Shen Jiayue heard this, she hugged Lin Xu's neck and kissed her:
"My husband, I can kiss you wherever you want... Is the house settled, Yan Bao?"
Today is the day for Chen Yan to hand over the house. The duplex house she bought in Lin Xu’s community was finally vacated today, so she can’t wait to take someone to check it out.
"It's done, but I can't live in it yet."
Chen Yan put down her bag, took off her down jacket, took the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea, drank it down, and then said:
"The furniture and appliances inside are all in the style from ten years ago. I don't like it. I need to replace them all. In addition, to free up these things, I also need to do a simple decoration and repaint the walls with latex paint or something."
Shen Jiayue couldn't help complaining when she heard it:
"With all the trouble you put in, you don't know when you can move in."
Chen Yan poured herself another half cup of tea and said with a relaxed look:
"Don't worry, at worst I'll live with you."
Humph, this is a house I bought with my own money. It must be decorated and decorated according to my ideas. During this period, no elders can go there, lest they give their opinions and ideas.
Seeing that the two sisters were chatting happily, Lin Xu walked into the kitchen without disturbing them and started making chicken tip soup.
Chen Yan sat opposite Shen Jiayue and asked curiously:
"Brother-in-law, are you going to make food?"
"Yes, he is going to make chicken nugget soup. Your father-in-law and mother-in-law want to eat it."
"Hey, I'm studying "Jin Ping Mei" again. Chicken tip soup was used as a prop for Sun Xue'e's execution. It has been studied by many people. I wonder how my brother-in-law made it."
Shen Jiayue was stunned:
"Isn't that a pornographic book? You actually read this kind of book openly?"
"The Plum in the Golden Lotus is a novel about worldly affairs. It records in detail the worldly affairs, customs and habits, market culture, and various proverbs and slang in the mid-Ming Dynasty. It has high research value. Without this book, "A Dream of Red Mansions" would not have been possible.
."
Shen Jiayue blinked.
As a young person, I couldn’t understand these topics that only middle-aged people understand.
She pointed upstairs:
"You said that I can't do this, so why not go upstairs and talk to your father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Chen Yan:??????
What kind of fool would talk to his parents-in-law about this book?
Stinky Yueyue, you really don’t care about the excitement.
She took out her phone and checked the time:
"Your brother-in-law got off the morning shift today, so I bought a ticket to the Deyun Club to listen to cross talk, so I didn't want to get together with a group of middle-aged and elderly people to talk about literature."
I'll leave after tasting the chicken tip soup.
Save yourself from traffic jams and waste time.
Shen Jiayue put on her headphones and continued editing the video.
In the kitchen, Lin Xu washed the tips of the chicken wings and scrubbed them with salt, washing out a lot of congestion from the pores.
When everything is ready, put the tips of the chicken wings into a pot of cold water, then add onion, ginger, pepper, star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon peel, tangerine peel and rice wine. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, skim off the foam, and then reduce the heat to simmer for three to four minutes.
Take it out and put it in cold water to cool down.
There is no meat on the tips of chicken wings, except for the skin and bones.
After letting it cool, Lin Xu took a knife and carefully cut open the tip of the chicken wings along one side to remove the bones inside, making the chicken wings boneless.
This is actually the same as removing the bones from chicken feet. Although it is difficult, it is not that big. Moreover, after cooking it and then cooling it, the bones and skin will be separated, making it easier to pick them out.
Cut the tips of the picked chicken wings open with a kitchen blade, and then cut into thin strips.
This step is actually quite dangerous. The tips of cooked chicken wings are relatively slippery, and the shreds are relatively thin. If you are not careful, you may cut your hands.
However, Lin Xu has knife skills, so he is not afraid of the knife slipping.
Cut into thin strips and wash them in hot water. This will not only remove impurities, but also wash off excess oil. Immediately put them into cold water after washing to prevent the chicken skin from deteriorating and rotten in the hot water.
And soaking it in cold water after hot water can make the chicken wings cut into thin strips more chewy, tender and delicious.
Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Xu set up a wok, added chicken soup into it, and turned up the heat.
Then I mixed a little potato starch with water, which is used when thickening.
Soon, the chicken soup is boiling, take out the chicken shreds, control the water, put it into the pot, simmer for a while, then add salt and pepper to taste.
Then pour in the balsamic vinegar, boil it again, and add the starch water.
As soon as the spicy and sour taste came out, Lin Xu thought it was pretty good, at least it smelled quite appetizing.
Before taking it out of the pot, he scooped some chicken fat and poured it into the pot.
Stir evenly, transfer to a soup basin, and garnish with two coriander leaves on top for a finishing touch.
The crystal clear soup, the translucent shredded chicken wings, and the spicy and sour taste make people really appetizing.
After Lin Xu filled a bowl of soup, Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan each filled more than half a bowl.
I'm not sure whether they like to drink it, so I don't dare to serve it more.
As for the rest, put it in the pot first, and whoever wants to drink it can drink it.
He brought out two bowls of soup. Chen Yan, who was touching up her makeup with a small mirror, was immediately attracted by the hot and sour smell of vinegar and pepper:
"What is this? A Los Angeles water mat?"
Lin Xu smiled:
"This is chicken tip soup. It's very simple to make. How about you two trying it? There's another pot in the kitchen. I'll deliver it upstairs."
There is nothing surprising about this soup. The main reason is that the novel gives it a tragic character. It is really sad to think that Sun Xue'e has been cooking all kinds of delicious dishes since she appeared on the scene, and finally died because of the deliciousness.
Chen Yan took the spoon and tasted it, and said to herself:
"This is delicious. Sun Xue'e died unjustly. If it were to be done now, she would have been the executive chef of a big hotel."
Sun Xue'e in the book is in charge of the kitchen at Ximen Qing's house. No matter whether Ximen Qing is having a banquet to entertain the censor or drinking and having fun with his friends, this female cook can arrange the banquet properly.
And she worked almost the whole process alone. This ability is not even matched by the executive chef of a big hotel.
When she thought of this, Chen Yan couldn't help but muttered:
"The feudal system kills people."
Shen Jiayue was not so sentimental. She held a small bowl, blew it on it, and took a small taste:
"Wow, this is delicious, spicy and sour, and these filaments have a good texture, very chewy, smooth and tender."
The chicken skin has been boiled twice and then cooled, forming a smooth and greasy texture. When you eat it, it is really interesting and goes well with the spicy, sour taste.
Upstairs.
When Lin Xu came in with chicken tip soup, the professors and scholars who were chatting all stopped and looked at the soup basin.
Will everyone finally be able to taste this delicacy that has been debated for hundreds of years?
When Lin Xu put the soup on the table, everyone stared at it, but no one touched the dishes.
"The chicken tip soup is ready, you can try it."
Geng Lishan said:
"I'm a little afraid to try it. As soon as I tasted this soup, Sun Xue'e suddenly flashed in my mind... But I'll give it a try and use chicken tip soup to commemorate this tragic woman."
Sun Xue'e is just a fictional character in the novel, but because of the author's skill in writing, hundreds of years later, everyone is still full of sympathy for this character.
Everyone filled a small bowl.
He scooped a spoon into his mouth and after tasting it, everyone was speechless.
After a long time, Ren Chongmo sighed:
"Sun Xue'e died unjustly!"
What a delicious soup, but Chunmei didn't think it tasted good, and even used it to kill people. The more I thought about the plot described in the book, the more I felt that Sun Xue'e didn't deserve to die.
Cui Qingyuan took a few bites.
Take a photo of the soup bowl in front of you and send it to your circle of friends:
"I was lucky enough to taste the chicken tip soup made by Boss Lin. The soup was clear and delicious, but I just felt filled with panic. This is probably the charm of literature. Hundreds of years later, people still sympathize with a woman in the book.
”
He didn’t mention Jin Ping Mei or Sun Xue’e.
But soon, Geng Lele commented below like a little adult:
"Read less unhealthy books!"
Yan Lin liked it and commented:
"Is there really chicken tip soup? I have to try it next time I go to Beijing. I've been curious about it for a long time."
Lin Xu was sitting near the door, regretting making chicken soup because he didn't expect that one soup would actually make everyone feel EMO.
At this moment, Shu Yun knocked on the door, opened the door to the private room and walked in. Holding a plate of snacks shaped like a jade rabbit, he smiled at everyone and said:
"The rabbit snacks made by our chef Niu are made of glutinous rice flour on the outside, red bean paste filling on the inside, and a little milk powder sprinkled on top. Professors, you can try it."
The little rabbit is very cute, small and pink, which makes people feel reluctant to eat it.
When everyone saw it, they no longer felt so depressed. Instead, each person held a little rabbit and tasted it carefully.
Seeing that everyone was treating them seriously, Lin Xu quietly stood up and went out with Shu Yun.
"I came in time, right?"
"It's very timely. I was worried that they would be depressed. I didn't expect these literati to be so sentimental. I can't even sit or walk."
Shu Yun chatted with Lin Xu in a low voice, and smiled at the waiters when he met them.
Back on the second floor, Shen Jiayue was already drinking her second bowl of chicken tip soup. She didn't study literature deeply, and she didn't have so many emotions of sadness for spring and autumn.
Seeing Lin Xu coming over, the girl said happily:
"This chicken tip soup is so delicious. Sister Yun, you should try it too. It's super delicious."
I finally heard a compliment.
Lin Xu felt better. No matter what kind of emotions a dish brought to everyone, his baby would always give him face.
Others have novel characters in their hearts and have all sorts of difficult feelings, but in Shen Jiayue's heart, she only has Lin Xu.
"There is no hope of being controlled by husband..."
Chen Yan finished the chicken tip soup in her bowl with some thought, then touched up her makeup, then put on her down jacket, carried her bag, and said happily:
"Let's go listen to cross talk with our little Jiejie!"
After saying that, he quickly went downstairs.
Shu Yun asked someone to serve a small bowl of soup and tasted it. It tasted really good.
She said to Lin Xu:
"Yue Liyue plans to treat fellow villagers to a meal tomorrow and wants us to prepare a table of Cantonese food. He has already paid a deposit of two thousand yuan and let us look at the arrangements."
What restaurant owners dislike the most is the words "seeing the arrangements."
If the food is to your liking, it’s okay, but if it’s not, or all the dishes are expensive, it’s easy to argue.
Relatively speaking, it is better to order a la carte, as everything is chosen by the customer.
Of course, Guangdong Liyue will definitely not argue. He is now a well-known anchor in the gaming circle. His income is not low, and he occasionally does some live broadcasts.
For example, selling some computer peripherals, game peripherals, etc., life is very comfortable.
Several of his classmates have also made a name for themselves in the power leveling circle, and now they are almost all high-end clients.
Some bosses who have a passion for gaming and don’t have time to play games themselves, but want to maintain a high-level and high-level performance, entrust their accounts to them and pay a certain amount of compensation, so they can enjoy the feeling of being admired by thousands of people in the game.
.
Lin Xu asked:
"How many people are there?"
The food should not be served based on the customer's money, but based on the number of people, so that everyone can eat and drink well.
"About twenty, he booked a private room at Sijipingpingan."
Sijipingpingan is a relatively large private room on the third floor. There is a large dining table for twenty people. Booking this private room means that there will be almost twenty people.
When it comes to serving dishes, you basically have to have more than 20 dishes, because if you have less than 20 dishes, not to mention whether you can eat enough, the table is not full, which looks very embarrassing.
Lin Xu said:
"Then I'll ask the kitchen to come up with a menu later, and add a few Cantonese dishes that are not available in the store to make them feel more comfortable."
As a restaurant owner, you can't do everything yourself, otherwise running such a large restaurant would be exhausting.
As for the dishes that are not served, Lin Xu plans to make a jellyfish sausage and a crispy squab. In addition, he will ask Lao Huang to send two farmed fat snakes to make a jellyfish slice.
Although Lin Xu can cook this kind of dish that southerners love, he has never made a new one.
As for the crispy squab, it is expected to be new as early as next week. This kind of single-sold dish will not only make you feel less full after eating it, but will actually make you hungrier. This is what restaurants like.
In the evening, when he got home from get off work, Lin Xu changed into home clothes and was just about to go upstairs to play games when Shen Jiayue started clamoring for popcorn.
This girl plans to watch a movie tonight, but without popcorn she feels the atmosphere is not enough.
Lin Xu had no choice but to go to the kitchen, take out the special popcorn corn he bought before, set up a stainless steel wok for desserts, pour the special popcorn oil, pour the corn kernels into the pot, and add some syrup.
Turn on the heat and stir-fry slowly. When the oil is about warm, cover the pot.
Hold the lid of the pot with one hand, and bump the pot with the other hand to make the corn in the pot heat more evenly.
Soon, there was a dense banging sound inside, and the corn kernels inside turned into popcorn under the influence of hot oil.
Then hang it with reddish brown syrup, it looks delicious.
The corn kernels in the pot were originally only half a small bowl, but when they exploded, it became a full pot.
Shen Jiayue felt that the whole process was like a magic show, and she couldn't help but admire:
"It's amazing, but it's a pity that the air fryer can't do it, otherwise I would have to learn how to do it."
Lin Xu said:
"If you want to eat it, I'll cook it for you. No need to learn."
Lin Xu tried his best not to let this girl do any delicacies that required the use of hot oil or a knife, because she had no cooking skills and was very fussy. If she got hurt, it wouldn't be worth it.
After there was no crackling sound in the pot, Lin Xu opened the lid and poured the popcorn inside into the prepared bamboo basket.
The fat in the pot has hung on the popcorn along with the syrup, and the whole pot looks clean.
Shen Jiayue picked up one and tasted it:
"It's delicious, thank you Xubao!"
Lin Xu tasted it and felt that the popcorn was really good. He was too lazy to play games and asked curiously:
"What movie are you going to watch?"
"The Three-Body Animation has been heavily promoted recently. I don't know if it's good or not, so I just treat it as a way to kill time."
When people watch movies and TV series, popcorn is a good match, and they mainly watch the plot.
But this girl mainly watches movies and TV shows with popcorn as a meal. It doesn’t matter if it’s good or not, as long as there’s some movement.
The two of them were sitting on the sofa. Lin Xu watched Shen Jiayue open the broadcast platform client on the TV and began to search for Three-Body animation, planning to watch it for a while.
However, as soon as it was opened, Dundun ran over and the little guy held the remote control and played wildly.
When Shen Jiayue got it back, Tom and Jerry started playing on TV.
The little guy was lying on the sofa between the two of them, his tail swaying slightly, looking very comfortable.
"Baby, do you want to watch this? Then go ahead and watch it. Dad and Mommy will watch it with you... Do you want to eat some popcorn? It's delicious."
Dundun glanced at the popcorn in the basket with disdain, then jumped down from the sofa, circled twice around the glass jar with dried fish, and screamed twice in dissatisfaction.
"Want to eat dried fish? Mommy will get it for you."
Shen Jiayue brought the little one two small dried fishes brought from her hometown. The family sat on the sofa and watched this cartoon that was older than her parents...
