Chapter 576: Use soy sauce duck to make salty porridge! What is it like to have a cow cat at home? [Please subscribe]
"Grandma, we are here to bring you food!"
Shen Jiayue held Dundun in her arms and Chen Yan carried a packaged snowy bean paste to Old Mrs. Shen's house on the South Third Ring Road. As soon as she entered the door, Shen Jiayue started yelling.
She has been chirping since she was a child, and even now that she is married, she will not change this habit.
"What delicious food did my grandson-in-law make again?"
Mrs. Shen was just about to go play cards when she saw her granddaughter and granddaughter coming over. She hurriedly greeted her and held Dundun in her arms:
"Why are our little darlings wearing a bow tie?"
Chen Yan smiled:
"You're here to visit relatives, so you have to dress appropriately."
The family entered the living room. Chen Yan opened the lunch box and placed the snowy bean paste inside in front of Mrs. Shen:
"My brother-in-law made a lot of snowy bean paste this afternoon, with various fillings. Grandma, please try it. It's delicious."
Although Mrs. Shen has lived in the capital for several decades, she is a serious girl who grew up in the Northeast. When she saw this dessert, her expression was in a daze and she was a little lost:
"This snowy bean paste... is so beautiful."
Northeastern people are very fond of this delicacy. Even this old lady who is used to seeing wind and waves was a little surprised when she saw it suddenly, but then the surprise turned into a surprise:
"My grandson-in-law's craftsmanship is very good, and this snowy bean paste looks delicious..."
She picked up one and tasted it. Although it was not freshly fried, because it was in an insulated lunch box, it was still quite hot in her mouth when she ate it, and the filling inside was even a little hot.
The soft egg white batter and delicious fillings made Mrs. Shen very happy to eat.
"It's delicious, it's really delicious. You two should eat it too, don't just watch me eat it."
"We've eaten, we've eaten quite a few, and we're all full."
After Shen Jiayue finished speaking, she picked up a walnut from the table and rolled it twice on the coffee table to make Dundun play.
Dundun was not interested in these childish interactions at all. He jumped on the sofa, pushed down a plush pillow, and then lay on it with an expression of enjoyment.
Cats are very interested in soft and furry things, and they may subconsciously think of them as brothers and sisters who competed for milk when they were young.
"Do you like this pillow? If you like it, take it back and lie on it at night."
Mrs. Shen finished eating the snowy bean paste with red bean paste, and then tried the jujube paste. She thought it tasted really good, and it was a new change from the snowy bean paste in her memory.
My grandson-in-law’s craftsmanship is truly unparalleled.
Shen Jiayue said:
"I have several plush pillows like this at home. She just likes furry things, just like girls."
Upon hearing this, Dundun groaned and expressed dissatisfaction.
I am a man, not a girl.
Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan didn't stay long. They chatted casually for a few words and then got up to say goodbye. They had to give it to other relatives and it would be cold soon.
The two of them took Dundun away, walked around in a big circle, and gave gifts to their relatives.
Passing by Chen Yan's grandma's house, Shen Jiayue turned over and gave Chen Yan's grandma a copy.
When we returned to the store, it was almost dinner time.
Dundun was at the service counter, happily eating a plate of chopped beef tenderloin mixed with egg yolk and steamed. Then she washed her face carefully and straightened the tie under her neck in front of the mirror.
Upstairs, everyone is eating today's dinner - pickled cabbage buns and minced meat and mushroom porridge.
I didn’t finish the whole package of sauerkraut I bought in the store before. Seeing that the weather was getting hot, I didn’t bother to pickle it again, so I washed it, chopped it, washed it again, mixed it with the minced sauce meat, and made it into sauerkraut.
The sauce meat stuffing is made into steamed buns with fermented bread.
When adjusting the filling, Lin Xu deliberately cut some more fat meat, fearing that there would be too much soup, and also added some vermicelli.
After steaming, the buns are delicious and delicious. The aroma of the sauced meat and the sour aroma of the pickled cabbage are perfectly combined, and the vermicelli inside absorbs the gravy and tastes delicious.
This kind of pickled cabbage buns is very common in Northeast China, but it doesn’t seem to be eaten much in other places.
I originally thought it was wrapped vermicelli stewed with pickled cabbage and white meat, but when I tasted it, I realized that it was very different from stew. The aroma was stronger and there was no soup.
This kind of filling paired with the soft bun skin is really enjoyable.
Everyone who came over to eat after get off work had their mouths full of oil. Even Dou Wenjing, who usually has the smallest appetite, ate three large buns and drank a large bowl of salty porridge.
"This salty porridge is really good, Xu Bao, can our soy sauce duck also make porridge?"
Today's salty porridge is made with air-dried chicken. First, simmer over low heat for more than an hour to simmer the chicken until it is soft and tender. Then add the soaked rice and simmer over low heat.
This kind of porridge tastes delicious, the rice grains are smooth, the chicken is delicious, and the soup is full of the unique fragrance of salted chicken. It even tastes more satisfying than meat buns with pickled cabbage sauce.
Lin Xu said:
"It should be okay. I'll try it tomorrow morning. If it tastes good, I'll take two to the store and let everyone try it."
Soy sauce duck and soy sauce meat can be stored for a long time, and the longer they last, the better they taste.
Lin Xu plans to make some more when he has time. He always keeps it at home. If he wants to be lazy one day, he can just steam it in the pot and it will be a good dish to go with rice and wine.
Qi Panpan and Brother Qiang, the young couple who came over for dinner after get off work, particularly enjoyed today’s dinner:
"I didn't expect that sauerkraut wrapped in steamed buns would be so delicious, and that dried chicken could be made into porridge."
"If I continue to eat like this, I will probably gain weight of 110 pounds soon."
Qi Panpan feels that good food is not always a good thing, such as her weight. She has gained five or six pounds since the Spring Festival.
At Brother Qiang's house, she ate all kinds of food every day. She thought she could lose weight when she came to the capital, but she still underestimated the magic power of Lin Ji's food.
Whether it’s a lunch box or dinner in the restaurant, they are all super delicious.
In this case, let alone losing weight, if you can keep your weight from rising, it will be a high-stakes one.
She really wanted to control it, but the taste was too good, and there were a lot of things to do in the early days of starting a business. As a result, the manager who originally liked to take the lead in fishing was exhausted all day long, so she had to rely on delicious food to relieve stress.
Fortunately, orders have been secured, giving employees work to do.
The entire technical department resigned collectively, and the former company boss finally began to pay attention to this matter, but he only paid attention to it, thinking that it was not just some technical maintenance, but just poaching some people from other companies.
It doesn’t matter if the technical department resigns, it’s just a matter of replacing a new group of people.
This trend was prevalent there in the beginning, until bugs appeared in the system one after another, and the more maintenance, the more problems there were.
Qi Panpan took a sip of salted chicken porridge and said to Chen Yan:
"When the technology there is completely unable to keep up, I will talk about outsourcing business. The employees are familiar with it and can get started quickly."
Shen Jiayue on the side asked:
"If you do this, will you be kicked out by your former boss? Or maybe you suspect that it was done when you resigned."
Qi Panpan smiled:
"Whether the entire company collapses or you pinch your nose and let me make money, the boss should know very well what choice to make. As for the technical aspects, they were clearly handed over when I resigned. At that time, someone suggested leaving a secret door, but I don't think it was necessary.
If it’s necessary, we won’t do this.”
Although you can poach experts from other companies at high prices, they may not be willing to come. After all, the entire technical department has resigned. To people in the industry, this kind of company is either very harsh on programmers, or it leaves a mess waiting to be cleaned up.
.
Both of these possibilities will dissuade most people.
And those who can take over this stall will not have to worry about work, and there is no need to wade through this muddy water.
This is the foundation of Qi Panpan’s confidence and the reason why she feels she can eventually take over the outsourcing business.
In fact, there is no need to discuss how important the technical department of an Internet company is.
However, because programmers are generally not good at expressing themselves and do not like to express themselves, this image of an "honest person" causes everyone in the company to think that the technical department is dispensable.
Now, should they realize the importance of the technical department?
The boss of the company who likes to tell stories only took advantage of the times and policies back then, but he didn't think so. He thought he was a business tycoon and an entrepreneurial genius.
Now, it's time for him to wake up.
Lin Xu reminded:
"Bring a lawyer when you sign the contract to avoid being framed."
"I will guide you. Brother Feng's senior brother has been hired as the legal advisor of Happy Media. He is also a barrister in Beijing and is good at handling commercial legal disputes."
Having signed so many chefs, Chen Yan was very concerned about the legal aspect. Originally, she wanted Brother Feng to work part-time, but Brother Feng was too busy, so she recommended his senior brother.
The next morning.
After washing up, Lin Xu came downstairs, took out half a soy sauce duck from the refrigerator, chopped it into small pieces with a knife, washed it with hot water, and then put it in a casserole.
Add water, turn to low heat and simmer.
While the duck was stewing, he took out the rice that had been soaked overnight, prepared the vegetables, and then fished out the prawns brought from the store from the aquarium.
After the duck meat is stewed, add rice and start making porridge.
This kind of porridge takes a lot of time to cook. Fortunately, I didn't go to the store today. After breakfast, I took Dundun directly to the jade carving master to make a statue for Dundun.
In addition to porridge, Lin Xu is also preparing to make some egg pancakes.
This kind of pancake is very simple. Just stir the egg flour with chopped green onions and diced carrots into a paste, then spread it out in a pan and fry until brown. It’s not difficult.
An hour later, the duck in the casserole has been stewed and is full of flavor, the soup in the pot has turned the color of soy sauce, and the duck meat has been cooked through.
Lin Xu put the soaked rice in and started making porridge.
Making porridge with soy sauce duck is actually quite simple. You don’t need to add condiments, just cook it in a clay pot over low heat.
When the porridge was almost ready, Lin Xu started making egg pancakes.
By the time the egg pancake is ready, the rice porridge will become thicker and the duck meat will feel a little soft.
Add the peeled fresh shrimps, chopped green onion, shredded ginger, minced garlic and other ingredients into the pot, simmer the rice porridge over high heat, then add the washed vegetables, cover the casserole, and turn off the heat.
By simmering it like this, the fresh flavor of the green vegetables can be integrated into the rice porridge, making it taste more delicious.
"Is breakfast ready?"
"Okay, baby, come and eat."
Shen Jiayue had already gotten up at this time and put the things Dundun wanted to bring in advance in the car, such as disposable cat litter boxes, water, dried fish, various small toys and so on.
When she heard that breakfast was ready, the girl came over happily and looked at the soy sauce duck salty porridge that Lin Xu put into the bowl, feeling a little novel.
Yesterday, she just said something random, but she didn't expect that soy sauce duck can really be used to make porridge, and the fragrance is so rich, and it looks very good.
The ruddy porridge looks appetizing, with crisp vegetable leaves and freshly fragrant shrimp inside.
Coupled with the plump grains of rice, people want to try it instantly.
When she sat down, Lin Xu brought over egg pancakes, pickled cucumbers, pickles and other side dishes to go with the porridge, as well as two meat buns with pickled cabbage and sauce brought back from the store yesterday.
The reheated buns taste more fragrant and the sauerkraut taste is more enjoyable.
Shen Jiayue took a spoon and tasted the porridge in the bowl first.
The unique aroma of soy sauce duck combined with the deliciousness of shrimps and the freshness of green vegetables will make your mouth water after one bite.
"Wow, it's so delicious. I have to let my parents try it next time they stay here."
Although I was mentally prepared, when I drank the rice porridge, I was still full of surprises.
Lin Xu took a bite of the egg pancake and said to Shen Jiayue:
"As long as you like it, you can do it often in the future."
Apart from getting up a little early, this rice porridge is quite simple to make. You can even simmer it on the stove over low heat and then go upstairs to take a nap.
However, the natural gas alarm in the kitchen must be turned on. If the fire is extinguished, the natural gas will continue to leak out, which would be too dangerous.
Shen Jiayue drank two mouthfuls of porridge, then picked up a piece of duck meat and tasted it. The duck meat was also delicious, especially because it had been dried. Even though the duck meat had been boiled, it still tasted delicious and soft.
After a perfect breakfast, Lin Xu tidied up the kitchen, then hugged Dundun who was wearing a bow tie, took the elevator downstairs, and drove to the West Second Ring Road.
"How old is this master? A big family doesn't live together, does it?"
Although Dundun is not very resistant to the noisy environment, he doesn't like it very much. Customers in the store basically know this, so when taking photos and interacting with Dundun, they will choose it when they are playing, and sometimes they are seen sleeping.
, and would deliberately slow down and lower his voice for fear of waking him up.
Such a cute little elf, customers don’t want to disturb its peaceful dreams.
Shen Jiayue said:
"He lives alone and has a nanny to help with the cooking. He seems to be a bit withdrawn... This kind of artist seems to have this kind of personality."
Arriving at the West Second Ring Road, Lin Xu drove to the entrance of an alley according to the location.
After entering, park the car in the parking space on the roadside.
I got out of the car with Dundun in my arms and walked to the door of a courtyard. There was a small sign hanging on the door:
【Old Deng Jade Carving】
Lao Deng?
It seems that you are quite old.
Lin Xu hugged Dundun and pressed the doorbell next to the door.
The piece of jade and the black and white stones Shen Guofu used to make chess pieces had been delivered in advance, and all the fees had been paid. Old Shen never considered money when doing things, only quality.
The reason why I chose Lao Deng Jade Carving was that, in addition to its good reputation, the most important thing was that its price was twice as high as the other one.
In line with the principle of "expensive, expensive", I chose this one.
It can be seen from his view on consumption that it makes sense for some businesses to like to cut off the rich people’s leeks.
While I was thinking wildly, I heard footsteps inside. An aunt in her forties opened the door and asked gently:
"Who are you?"
"We are Dundun's parents and have made an appointment to make jade carvings. My surname is Shen. I called yesterday."
The lady understood immediately after hearing this:
"Welcome Miss Shen. Is this the cat who is going to make a jade carving? He looks so cool... Please come with me, Mr. Deng and his friends are taking pictures of the new work inside. I guess you have to wait a moment."
Lin Xu walked in with Dundun in his arms, only to realize that this was a rather large courtyard house.
There is a corridor in the yard, and the corridor is surrounded by large glass, allowing people to see the flowers, plants and trees clearly, but not feel the cold.
The yard is quite big, at least an acre, with a circle of houses. I don’t know if there is a backyard.
But even if not, the value of this yard alone is very high.
This lot, this area, is still a quaint old house, estimated to cost nearly 100 million.
Sure enough, art can only be afforded by rich people. Without a certain family background and funds, if you enter the art industry rashly, you will most likely starve.
Soon, the two of them were taken to an antique living room, which contained various works of art and many jade carvings, as well as some trophies and other things on the ancient shelves.
Dundun jumped down as soon as he entered, and walked around the living room with his tail raised. Occasionally he jumped on the table to take a close look at the jade carvings on it.
Shen Jiayue said:
"Other people's kittens will be nervous and tremble when they are in a strange environment. Our man is so good. There is a whole community of cattle and cats who are not afraid wherever they go."
Lin Xu rubbed Dundun's head:
"Maybe it's because I know no one can hurt it."
This kind of kitten with full luck will find it difficult to encounter danger even if it wants to.
So it has nothing to be afraid of or nervous about.
Soon, the aunt brought tea and said:
"Do I need to prepare a litter box for the cat? Mr. Deng arranged for me to buy it yesterday. I also bought some cat litter. I don't know what brand of cat litter this kitten likes."
I'll go, it's really expensive, but the service is beyond praise.
Lin Xu said:
"We brought a disposable cat litter box and it's just in the car. If I'm not busy right now, I can just go and bring it to you. You don't have to go to such trouble."
Although it cost money, Lin Xu was still a little uncomfortable with this kind of meticulous service.
Moreover, Dundun is already used to the unscented corn cat litter bought by Shen Jiayue, and she won’t be used to it if she switches to another brand or type.
He stood up and was about to go out, when a voice came from the room not far away:
"Fuck, fuck, you're so picky and I really can't take pictures anymore. We're still old friends. I'm not as picky as you when I take wedding photos for Lin Xu, a big internet celebrity!"
Lin Xu:?????????
Take my wedding photos, is this Cai Sen?
Just as he was about to ask the aunt next to him, he saw the door of the room not far away opened, and Cai Sen, a man with a pink mohawk, walked out of the room holding a camera and a Suha hanging around his neck.
Seeing Lin Xu, Cai Sen was suddenly stunned:
"Here I go, is my mouth so good now?"
After saying that, he said several times:
"Chai Sen will make a fortune this year!"
Then he strode towards Lin Xu:
"Boss Lin, why did you come to Deng Duba's place?"
Deng Dumb?
It seems that I am very familiar with that old Deng. People who have a normal relationship would not dare to say that.
He said:
"I pulled out a piece of jade from the ravine in my hometown and planned to make a statue for Dundun... Just now this aunt said that someone was taking photos, is it you, Boss Cai?"
"That's right, who else but me would take the job from Mute Deng... Mute, come out and say hello, you bitch, you took the job from Boss Lin and you're still hiding it, are you afraid that I'll steal your business?"
Lin Xu was a little curious.
This tone of voice and this way of speaking make it feel like a college roommate?
This old Deng, isn’t he a young man?
Just as he was talking, he saw a thin man wearing thick-soled glasses walking out of the room. He was about twenty-four or five years old. Is this Lao Deng?
When he saw Lin Xu, the man smiled and said hello.
Cai Sen next to him said:
"My roommate at the Academy of Fine Arts, Deng Lisong, comes from a family of jade carvings. His parents are both in the cultural relics restoration team of the Forbidden City. He has been quiet since he was a child. Even if he can't say a few words to me in a day, don't mind Mr. Lin. My brother's personality is just right.
In the words of netizens, this is social fear, serious social fear."
Although he called Deng Mute, Cai Sen still helped to explain a few words in front of outsiders. After all, if Lin Xu came, it meant that he was a big customer.
Naturally, you have to be polite to big customers.
Lin Xu originally wanted to shake hands with Deng Lisong, but since he was afraid of society, it was better to maintain social distance to avoid making others nervous.
In fact, Lin Xu had some social fears in the past, but with the system and more and more people he knew, he unconsciously became a social nerd.
However, there is still some gap between his Sheniu and Dundun.
The little guy was looking at the trophies on the book shelf. When he saw Deng Lisong, he ran over with his little butt sticking out, and even hooked Deng Lisong's legs with his tail.
Seeing Dundun, Deng Lisong, who was a little nervous at first, obviously relaxed a lot.
He bent down and wanted to touch Dundun's head, but was worried that he would not be allowed to do so, so he raised his head and glanced at Lin Xu:
"Dundun really likes having his head and chin touched, Master Deng can do it."
Upon hearing this, Deng Lisong rubbed Dundun's head.
Listening to the purring sound coming from Dundun's mouth, Deng Lisong also gradually relaxed.
Lin Xu said:
"Master Deng can keep a kitten as a companion when he comes back. Cats can relieve people's emotions, and can add a lot of fun to people who are nervous."
Upon hearing this, Cai Sen touched Deng Lisong with his knee:
"Yes, you can raise a cat. Your personality is like a cat, but if you are so thin, don't raise a cat. You don't have a father-son relationship."
"Okay, I'll ask my parents to bring me a kitten from the Forbidden City later."
Deng Lisong finally spoke.
But when he was talking, he looked at Dundun the whole time. People with social fears are not afraid of cats, but are closer to them.
Cai Sen put the camera on the coffee table and said with a smile:
"Originally I was going to go back and find someone to hack the game, but since Boss Lin is here, I won't leave. If I can get a meal, this is a good thing that money can't buy."
Lin Xu was not polite either:
"Okay, today Master Deng will observe Dundun in all aspects and interact with Dundun. I will cook lunch. You can just tell me what you want to eat, and you can make whatever you want."
Cai Sen seems to be waiting for this sentence.
He smiled and said:
"Spring has just come and it's time to eat spring pancakes. How about this for lunch today?"
"Eat spring pancakes in spring. Boss Cai is very particular about people! Okay, let's eat spring pancakes at noon today!"
