"What are you eating this morning, Xubao?"
Shen Jiayue finished her aerobics on the roof and came downstairs. When she saw Lin Xu still busy in the kitchen, she couldn't help but ask.
"Eat fried chicken and fir soup noodles, wash your hands and then we'll start eating."
Put the noodles into the pot and cook.
While the noodles are cooking, put a small spoonful of lard, a little light soy sauce, a little salt, a little oyster sauce, chives, coriander and other ingredients into the bowl. Add a large spoonful of the original soup for cooking the noodles and stir evenly.<
/p>
When the noodles are almost ready, put a handful of washed green vegetables into the pot, stir briefly, take out the noodles and green vegetable leaves together, and put them into the bowl of prepared soup.
Finally, add some fried chicken and fir trees, and a bowl of delicious chicken and fir soup noodles is completed.
In the past, Lin Xu didn't like eating noodles in the morning, but now she feels that having a bowl of noodles in the morning, with soup, vegetables, and staple food, and feeling warm all over after eating it, is much faster than cooking porridge.
p>
Two large bowls of noodle soup are brought to the table, and a few plates of kimchi are placed for leftovers, and breakfast is ready.
"Wow, the fragrance is so strong!"
What I eat today is not the hand-made noodles made by Lin Xu, but the hollow noodles bought online.
Although hand-made noodles are delicious when eaten, they need to be adjusted occasionally. Moreover, the texture of this hollow noodles is really smooth, round, and the core is still empty, which is very suitable for eating in the morning.
When the couple sat down to eat, Dundun was also squatting in front of a small dining table not far away, eating Lin Xu's freshly steamed chicken breast mixed with egg yolk.
Chicken breast supplements protein, and egg yolk supplements lecithin. The two most important nutrients needed by animals can be supplemented in one go.
If you cut some offal such as chicken livers and hearts and steam them in, you will also supplement the taurine the cat needs.
But there were no offal at home, and the meal was too complicated to eat, so I didn’t prepare any for Dundun.
It’s not too late to prepare the offal for it to eat after we go to the store.
Shen Jiayue took the kuaizi, picked up a piece of kuaizi noodles, blew on them, and then ate them with a slurp. An expression of surprise immediately appeared on her fair and beautiful face:
"Wow, isn't this delicious?"
The noodles are smooth and smooth, and you can even experience the joy of "soy noodles" when you eat them.
The noodles are very delicious, and the soup is even more delicious. It not only has the unique fragrance of gallinobacteria, but also has the strong fragrance and moist feeling of lard. One bite will make people feel refreshed.
Lin Xu knew it would taste delicious, but he didn't expect it to taste so good.
The noodles are smooth, the noodle soup is delicious, and the vegetables are also sweet and fresh. It’s super satisfying to eat in one bowl.
Shen Jiayue held the bowl and drank the noodle soup completely, and asked with some unfinished thoughts:
"Xubao, are there any more?"
"No, I just cooked two bowls...are you not full?"
Lin Xu felt that the amount of noodles cooked today, based on the amount of food the two of them usually eat, would be left over. Although it was only two bowls, they were two super big bowls, not the small bowls that people usually use to eat rice.
.
"I feel full after eating, but a little bit unsatisfied..."
Shen Jiayue wiped her mouth with a paper towel on the table and did not ask to eat anymore.
Everyone is trying to lose weight, so I can't fall behind others, at least I can't be compared to Yan Bao, otherwise her tail will be raised to the sky.
Lin Xu stood up and quickly put away the bowl and said:
"Go to the store and grab some food. There are a lot of delicacies to be prepared today. If you are hungry, you can eat early."
He washed the pots and pans and tidied up the kitchen, then went upstairs to change clothes. Holding Dundun, who had eaten and drank enough, he went downstairs with Shen Jiayue and drove to the store.
There are a lot of dishes to be prepared today, so you have to prepare them early.
The first is the steam pot chicken. Although the steam pot squab has become a regular dish in the store, the small pot for one person is also more popular, especially women, who especially like the feeling of drinking pigeon soup and eating pigeon meat.<
/p>
However, people in southern Yunnan have steam pot chicken, not steam pot squab, so they still have to take out the large steam pot and pair it with the free-range chicken that Lao Huang sent early in the morning, and also with Panax notoginseng.
Only then can you make a delicious pot of Panax notoginseng steam pot chicken.
In addition to steam pot chicken, there are also dishes such as steamed ham pancakes, steamed eggs with fried chicken and fir, Dali fish casserole, Baoshan fire gourd beef, Tengchong stir-fried bait cubes, bamboo tube rice, pineapple rice, and mint beef.
In fact, making this kind of rice is not difficult, and it can even be tricky.
For example, if you prepare a table of dishes and serve them with various dipping sauces, isn’t this a table of southern Yunnan cuisine?
But after all, this is a dinner for one of our own people, so we can’t just think about completing the task. We still need to prepare some dishes that should be prepared.
For example, now, after Lin Xu has prepared all the dishes, he starts to make the dish for today - Wuding cold chicken.
This is the dish that Shen Jiayue has been thinking about for two days. She really wants to know what chicken that tastes better than plain chicken would look like.
In order not to disappoint this girl, he had already prepared the white brine for soaking the cold chicken yesterday.
The so-called white brine refers to the stewed soup obtained by adding herbs, star anise, licorice, ginger and other spices into the broth, and then adding some cooked chicken fat.
There are no colored condiments such as light soy sauce and soy sauce in this kind of soup, nor are there any coloring spices such as chili peppers, so it is called white brine.
White brine is the brine that is put into the chicken for soaking after it is cooked. It needs to be boiled before use, and then placed in the cold storage to accelerate cooling. It can only be used to cool the chicken after it is completely cooled.
To make Wuding cold chicken, the most important thing is to use strong chickens fed by Wuding locals.
This kind of chicken is huge and has delicate meat. It grew up drinking mountain spring water and eating various Chinese herbal medicines. The meat is delicious and energetic. It is the highest quality chicken in southern Yunnan and the first choice for cooking southern Yunnan cuisine.
But this kind of chicken is not available in the north, so Lin Xu chose the free-range chicken sent by Lao Huang.
Although free-range chicken is not a strong chicken, its quality is good, and it is more than enough to make cold chicken.
I told the car driver when I left last night, so the white stewed soup has been heated up and brought to the cold storage to cool down.
Lin Xu was worried that one chicken would not be enough to eat, so he specially prepared two more.
There are three chickens in total. This amount should be enough to make cold chicken.
The three chickens have been slaughtered, but if they want to taste good, they need further cleaning.
Pour a bag of salt on a large tray, Lin Xu put the chicken on it, then grabbed the salt and began to rub the chicken vigorously.
Table salt can properly clean the impurities in the pores, and can also remove the fine chicken feathers. After scrubbing in this way, the chicken skin will be cleaner, and the feeling in the mouth will naturally become better.
After washing all three chickens, you can proceed to the next step.
The washed salt will be poured into hot water and simmered by the kitchen assistant later. When the salt is completely melted, filter it with gauze to remove impurities. The remaining salt water can be added to the brine as salt water.
Don’t worry about adding too much or too little salt water. With a salinity meter, salt water is even more effective than adding table salt directly.
After cleaning, boil a pot of water and add two flattened yellow gardenias, sand ginger, grass fruits and other spices into it.

After the water boils, boil it for a while, then lift the chicken and put it into the pot, lift it up again, pour out the water in the abdominal cavity, and put it back into the pot.
After three starts and three falls, another chicken is replaced.
Blanch all the chicken, put it into the pot, and simmer slowly over low heat.
"How long does it take to cook this?"
Zhu Yong didn't know much about plain-cut chicken, so he asked out of curiosity.
Lin Xu said:
"The three-yellow chicken you bought will be ready in half an hour, but this free-range chicken will take more than 45 minutes. You can't rush it. It has to be cooked thoroughly."
When making this dish, the soup in the pot should not boil. It is best to keep it between 85 and 90 degrees, and slowly soak the chicken in hot water. This will have a better taste and a richer aroma.<
/p>
After the chicken was cooked, Lin Xu started working on other dishes.
Outside the kitchen, Shen Jiayue was busy sending a message to Chen Yan:
"We had chicken and fir soup noodles this morning. It tasted great, the soup was fresh and delicious, and the noodles were very smooth. What did you eat, Yanbao?"
“Poached eggs on a whole wheat sandwich.”
Is it so healthy?
Shen Jiayue blinked. She originally wanted to show off in front of Yan Bao, but in the end she felt like she was being shown off in the opposite direction.
Nowadays, everyone is busy losing weight. Whoever eats healthier will be superior to others.
Chen Yan was now arrogant:
"We won't go to the store for lunch today. We are going to ride a bicycle with Lucy to Miyun. We will go as far as we can to squeeze our body's potential."
"Today we are eating southern Yunnan cuisine. Don't you want to try it?"
Chen Yan replied:
"Food is what I want, and beauty is what I want. You can't have both. Those who give up delicious food for beauty..."
Hum hum, you have a master's degree in Chinese, you can finally kill your cousin.
At the gate of a park near Wangjing, Chen Yan, wearing a cycling uniform, was waiting for the large army to meet, with a proud smile on her face.
However, when she was about to say a few more words, Shen Jiayue replied:
"Yan Bao, do you know the reason why many people suddenly become frustrated after successfully losing weight?"
Chen Yan posted a question:
"What is it?"
"Some people think that their ugliness is caused by obesity, but after successfully losing weight, they find that they are still ugly... I just said it casually, I don't mean anything else."
Chen Yan: "!
”
Killing people is still heart-wrenching?
But the more the cousin behaves like this, the more it shows that she is anxious!
Chen Yan urged everyone in the group to come over quickly and reminded everyone to pay attention to safety.
After sending the message, she and Ren Jie, who had finally taken a vacation, wandered together at the entrance of the park.
"Yanyan, you just rode a short long distance yesterday, can you still ride today?"
Ren Jie was a little worried.
He was riding a very ordinary road bike. After all, he was a public official, and he rode a bike that cost more than 100,000 yuan. If he was photographed, he would have to explain himself.
Moreover, this kind of gift between relatives is technically a bribe, so the last time Maisarui gave him a car, he could have one, but in the end he didn't want it.
Chen Yan picked up a bottle of sugar-free soda from the water cup holder, took a few sips, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, it's absolutely no problem. It's just that your car is a bit bad, so you won't be thrown away by me, right?"
Ren Jie is very confident in his riding skills:
"When I was in the police academy, I often rode to Tianjin on weekends to eat seafood at my second aunt's house. The distance from Miyun is not a big problem for me."
At that time, you could do this on a bicycle that cost less than a thousand yuan. Now you can ride a road bike that costs 7,000 to 8,000 yuan, which is lighter and faster.
Ren Jie didn't dare to compete with professional riders like Lucy, but if he got rid of his own baby swallow, he would definitely be able to pinch a snail with three fingers - nine out of ten.
"Xubao, Xubao, they all went riding bikes and didn't take me to play!"
Lin Xu had been busy in the kitchen for a while, and when he came out and was about to take a drink of water and take a break, Shen Jiayue came over with an aggrieved look.
"Then you eat and don't take them to play."
I remember last night my sister-in-law mentioned in the group that she was going to ride a bike in Miyun today, but my baby Shen was only thinking about eating and ignored it.
Of course, even if you don't ignore it, there is a high probability that this girl will not ride to Miyun.
With this time, it would be so fun to drive Dundun to the suburbs to play. It would be more in line with her idea to take George and Peggy together and let the three cats experience the spring scenery in the wild.
"If they all lose weight but I don't, you can't dislike me."
Shen Jiayue regretted eating so many noodles in the morning. She should have eaten white water eggs and whole wheat sandwiches like Yan Bao, a low-fat diet, so that she would be healthy.
Lin Xu pinched her cheek:
"Why do you dislike it? My baby's figure is just right. It's much better than Paigujing... Besides, they are very enthusiastic about riding. If they go to Miyun and eat and drink, they might gain weight."<
/p>
There are a lot of farm dishes such as ground pot chicken and iron pot stewed goose in Miyun. I don’t believe these weak-willed people can endure it.
After hearing Xu Bao's comfort, Shen Jiayue became happy again.
She picked up her phone and was about to retort to Chen Yan when she suddenly saw a message from her mother-in-law about buying fruit in the service area:
“The fruits in the service area are really expensive, and small households can’t afford them.”
Shen Jiayue casually clicked a thumbs up and was about to cross the line when she suddenly saw the name of the service area and became curious... Eh? Isn't this the service area that I visited on the way to Beijing?
Mother-in-law... came to the capital secretly?
She clicked on the photo to enlarge it and saw that it was indeed this place. When driving back to Beijing after the Spring Festival, Xu Bao even turned in to get hot water. At that time, she also said that the fruit was expensive, and luckily her mother helped prepare it.
Haha, mother-in-law, are you planning a sneak attack?
Shen Jiayue immediately sent a message to Chen Meijuan:
"Mom, why did you drive here? When will you arrive? I'll ask the kitchen people to prepare meals for you."
Chen Meijuan originally just posted a photo to complain about the high prices in the service area, but her daughter-in-law guessed it like a detective.
She replied:
"I didn't want to tell you because I was afraid that you would worry, so your father, your second uncle, and I drove to Beijing and arrived around three o'clock."
Sure enough, it's here...
Shen Jiayue thought for a while and said to Lin Xu:
"Xubao, I'm going home and I'll be back soon."
"Why do you want to go home suddenly?"
"My father-in-law, mother-in-law, and second uncle drove to the capital. I will go home and tidy up, so that they will not say that I am slovenly and not worthy of your handsomeness."
Lin Xu originally wanted to refuse, but when he wanted this girl to go back and exercise, he said:
"Then go ahead and tidy up the guest room, and don't forget to come back for dinner. I specially made two more cold chickens this time, waiting for you to enjoy them."
“Is cold chicken high in calories?”
"It's not high, it's just plain-cut chicken."
Shen Jiayue perked up as soon as she heard this:
"Then I want to eat a whole one to make Yan Bao very angry!"
After the girl went downstairs in a hurry, Lin Xu also returned to the kitchen and continued working.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, the three plain-cut chickens have been cooked, and the white-braised soup has been completely cooled, and the soup has even solidified into a jelly state.
Lin Xu took the chicken out and put it into cold boiling water with ice cubes. This not only made the chicken skin crispier, but also made the chicken firmer.
After soaking in ice water, put the three chickens into white brine and start soaking.
Chicken soaked in white braised soup can be stored until tomorrow and still maintain a fresh and tender taste. If the chicken is cut plain, the taste will deteriorate in the afternoon.
Soak the chicken in it, and then put the soup pot containing the white brine back into the cold storage to keep the brine at a low temperature, so that the chicken will taste better.
While I was busy, Mr. and Mrs. Huang arrived, bringing with them wine for the guests.
Shu Yun led the couple directly to a private room upstairs that could seat about twenty people, which Lao Huang had booked in advance.
"Tell Brother Lin that you can prepare the dishes and just tell me what you need. If the ingredients are not enough, I will have them delivered immediately."
My wife finally invited a fellow villager to have a meal. As a husband, it is natural for her to keep the scene going.
Shu Yun said:
"Our boss came over early in the morning and started preparing. All the dishes are local delicacies in southern Yunnan. We strive to let everyone eat the authentic taste of hometown."
Mrs. Huang smiled:
"Then I would like to thank Brother Lin in advance. The people who invited us to dinner today are all people from the Southern Yunnan Association. They did not go back to celebrate the New Year this year. They are tired of eating the food served by the Consulate in Beijing, so we arranged it here."<
/p>
Upon hearing this, Shu Yun immediately realized that Mrs. Huang was helping Lin Ji to promote herself.
As soon as you hear the Southern Yunnan Association, you will know that it is a joint group of businessmen. Once such customers are caught, they will continue to come to the store to spend money.
It is even used as a place for business reception.
Thinking of this, she said to Mrs. Huang:
"Thank you very much, Mrs. Huang. We will give each of the customers who come today a membership card. As long as you use the card to make purchases, you will get a discount."
Everyone carried the sedan chair. Since Mrs. Huang gave Lin Ji so much face, Lin Ji would naturally have to reciprocate.
After chatting for a few words, she came downstairs and told Lin Xu the matter at the door of the kitchen.
"Then let me prepare a few more dishes. Anyway, there are enough ingredients. I will try my best to make everyone eat and drink well."
Lin Xu thought for a while and remembered that there are also roasted suckling pig dishes in southern Yunnan, so just add a suckling pig. Anyway, the roasted suckling pig is basically the same everywhere, only the dipping sauce is different.
It’s not too difficult to mix some dipping ingredients according to the southwest dipping method.
He turned back to the kitchen and continued working.
Shu Yun came downstairs and was just about to prepare the membership card for Mrs. Huang when Dundun came over with a cat teasing stick in his mouth. Obviously, he wanted to play a game.
"Baby, wait until godmother is done with her work before playing games with you. You can play bouncing ball first."
Dundun refused to give up and even meowed twice.
Shu Yun was helpless:
"Baby, why do you act like a domineering CEO? I have to work, otherwise your parents will fire me, and I will have no choice but to drink from the northwest."
When Dundun heard this, he immediately closed the laptop used to open the card with his thick paws, and even opened his mouth to roar.
This picture of a domineering CEO made Shu Yun instantly happy:
"Okay, okay, let's play with you. Tiantian, please give me thirty 50% off discount cards and put them in envelopes. I'll play with Dundun for a while."
After saying that, she picked up the cat teasing stick and waved it twice:
"Baby, if my godmother is fired, you have to give me a salary."
"Meow~~~~"
