Chapter 700 Dundun: It’s my first birthday, it’s so exciting! Make gourd shrimp and crab! [Please subscribe]
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."
In the living room filled with lanterns, everyone sat together, beating the beat with their hands and singing Happy Birthday.
Among the crowd, Dundun was wearing a special birthday hat and squatting in front of a cake with candles, her eyes full of excitement, joy and happiness.
It was just curious about what it felt like to celebrate a birthday, but mommy started preparing without saying a word, and even called so many people to celebrate together.
This feeling of being cared for and cared for made the kitten particularly touched.
On the coffee table behind it, there are gifts from everyone, including pink piggy pillows, bouncy bouncing balls, frog toys, etc. They are not expensive, but they are all Dundun likes.
p>
And all the gifts were wrapped in colorful colored paper. The stacking of these gifts made Dundun very happy.
"Baby, it's time to make a wish. Close your eyes in front of the candle and make a wish in your heart. Don't say it out loud. It won't work if you say it."
While Shen Jiayue was talking, Yue Liyue not far away was adjusting the tripod next to her, and the camera on it was doing a live broadcast.
There are three accounts for birthdays today, Yue Liyue, Wu Kexin and Dundun’s own account.
The three accounts broadcast the birthday party live from different angles.
The birthday was very lively, but not extravagant. Chen Yan bought the birthday hat and candles from a cake shop, and the balloons, ribbons and lanterns were picked up by Chen Yuanyuan and Zeng Xiaoqi from a wedding shop on the way here.
In the live broadcast room, netizens kept sending emojis such as happy birthday and small cakes. The reward function in Dundun's live broadcast room was not enabled, so everyone could not feed cakes and could only express their blessings to the little guy through barrages.
Dundun sat down facing the candle and closed her eyes. Her serious expression made everyone's hearts melt.
Finally, when it opened its eyes and finished its wish, Shen Jiayue helped it adjust its birthday hat:
"It's time to blow out the candles, baby. Blow out the candles. Do you dare? If not, Mommy will blow it out with you. Don't be afraid. Mommy will take care of everything."
Dundun nuzzled her, then nuzzled Lin Xu who was sitting next to her, and the family of three blew out the candles.
Chen Yan took the camera to record this moment and then said:
"Cut the cake. Cut the cake. When it was just steamed, I was craving for this meat cake."
The white cake is dotted with pink flowers. It looks like a decorated cream cake commonly seen in cake shops, but the smell it emits is not milky, but a rich salty flavor.
This strong contrast between the taste and the appearance makes everyone want to try it.
Lin Xu pulled down the blown out candles, took a knife to separate the cakes on the table, first placed a piece in front of the birthday boy, and then handed it to everyone one by one.
What Dundun ate had no seasoning whatsoever. It was just steamed chicken breast and egg puree. It tasted tasteless, but for everyone else, Lin Xu poured some sauce on it.
The sauce is made with steamed fish soy sauce and minced garlic and other condiments, which can bring out the deliciousness of the meat to the maximum extent.
The only drawback is that pouring the sauce on the cake-shaped meatloaf is a bit weird, it looks like pouring chili sauce on the cake.
But the taste is really good, Yue Liyue also made a simple evaluation of his live broadcast camera:
"Wow, the texture is smooth and tender, a bit like our Cantonese egg steamed pork, but much more delicate than steamed pork. It tastes so delicious. If you are interested, please like it more. If you like it more, I will invite Boss Lin if you have time.
Publish a tutorial so that everyone can try this salty cake."
He took a few bites and then held up the device to photograph Dundun eating the cake.
The little guy looked very cute in his birthday hat. Seeing Yue Liyue taking pictures of him, the little guy couldn't help but say hello:
"Meow~~~~~"
Then he pointed at the cake in front of him with his paw, like a child showing off delicious food to his friends.
The happier it is, the more Lin Xu feels like taking good care of this little baby.
After finishing the cake, he got up and turned on the big light in the living room, striding to the kitchen to see if the meat in the oven was ready.
After spending the birthday with the child, it’s time for the adults to enjoy delicious food.
As soon as he walked into the kitchen, Lin Xu suddenly heard the system prompt in his mind:
"The host holds a grand birthday party for the pet, completes the hidden task [Celebrating the birthday of the pet], and is rewarded with a perfect Yanjing specialty dish - roast duck. Congratulations to the host!"
My day!
Lin Xu picked his ears and thought he heard wrongly.
It’s just a birthday celebration for the little guy, and now you’re going to reward roast duck?
What a great birthday this time...
Sure enough, Dundun is a family-oriented child, and if she is happy, she will be rewarded with ten points.
Lin Xu had previously planned to redeem the roast duck recipe, but the price of more than 8 million points still made him feel a little pained. He felt that it was too expensive and it was not cost-effective to redeem it.
But when you open a restaurant in the capital, you can't do it without roast duck. There is always a feeling that you don't have the guts to compete with the old restaurants in the capital.
Originally, Lin Xu planned to take time to learn cooking at Diaoyutai using the cooking learning card. Now that Dundun has found the reward for him, there is no need for such trouble.
And it also saved a lot of points.
After getting the roast duck, the roast duck oven in the store can finally get on the right track. Before, it was either roasting suckling pig or roasting whole lamb, which did not bring out the true strength of the roast duck oven at all.
"Xubao, what are you thinking about?"
Shen Jiayue walked in and saw Lin Xu standing in front of the oven in a daze, so she asked curiously.
Lin Xu said:
"It's okay, I just feel that we don't care enough for Dundun. The little guy might have wanted to have a birthday experience a long time ago."
Ordinary pets may not have that much thought, but Dundun is obviously unusual, and even the authority in the system has been changing.
For example, now, the little guy can even control the system and give himself rewards through hidden tasks.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
In the past, it couldn't do this.
Although there were Dundun's hidden tasks in the past, the rewards were far from being so high. After all, the price of the roast duck in the entire dish exchange column is worth counting. Even if the reward is obtained through the task, it should be a relatively difficult main task and should not be delivered like this.
My own hand.
It's a pity that I don't understand cat language, otherwise I really want to hear Dundun's growth history, it will definitely be very interesting.
Of course, if possible, Lin Xu would also like to interview the system and ask it what it feels like to be stabbed in the back by one of its own people or even emptied of its wealth.
Shen Jiayue said:
"Yeah, we haven't paid much attention to Dundun. Let's wait until Children's Day to celebrate Children's Day with her. Anyway, if other people's children have it, our Dundun must also have it."
Lin Xu opened the oven and took out the meat and corn cut into sections.
Brush the surface of the cooked corn with oil, put it in the oven to roast for a while, and then sprinkle it with barbecue seasonings and chili noodles to give it a rich meaty aroma, which is very enjoyable to eat.
The roasted corn on the snack street is usually roasted like this.
When making, if you use milky corn, the roasted flavor and texture will be even better.
Shen Jiayue opened the air fryer next to her. The crispy barbecue inside was ready and ready to eat.
Just like that, meats were brought out one after another, beer and drinks were taken out from the refrigerator, and steamed soy sauce chicken and boiled prawns were placed on the table.
Shen Jiayue said:
"Let's start, let's eat and drink in the name of our children... Yanbao, why hasn't my brother-in-law come yet?"
"I don't know, maybe I was held back by something."
Ren Jie is working overtime tonight and said he would be back around ten o'clock, but now it is almost ten thirty and there is no sign of him.
Just as he was talking, the doorbell rang. Chen Yan immediately stood up and came to the access control system. She looked at the figure standing outside the building's security door and immediately clicked the door open button.
Hoho, the little policeman is off duty!
"Yueyue, drink... drink!"
Lucy raised a glass to Shen Jiayue and took a swig, while Geng Lele said:
"Sister Yue, hurry up and bring out our Hogwarts limited drink, so as not to make the Muggles look down on you."
"Yes, our Magic Academy students have to drink their own drinks. I'll go get them right now. They've been put in the refrigerator for a long time."
When she went to the kitchen to get kvass, Ren Jie also came upstairs carrying a beautifully packaged box.
"Dundun baby, happy birthday. I'm sorry, my uncle is late. This is a birthday gift for you. Let's see if you like it..."
After saying that, he opened the box he was holding and took out an Ultraman.
Zeng Xiaoqi was a little curious:
"Why did you remember buying Ultraman?"
Ren Jie put down his handbag and said:
"When I got off work, I asked my colleagues what gifts they would give their children for their birthdays. Several people with children said they would give them Ultraman. They said that children these days believe in light. I went out of my way to buy a genuine one for Dundun."<
/p>
Dundun touched Ultraman with his paw, a little curious.
It hasn't seen Ultraman yet, so it doesn't believe in the light at all, but since it was given by my uncle, the little guy naturally didn't dislike it, and even rubbed his head against Ren Jie to express his gratitude.
Well, every time I received a gift today, the little guy expressed his gratitude by rubbing his head.
Many netizens who watched the live broadcast said that they were more sensible than many children.
Dundun received a bunch of gifts and ate delicious food. She was very happy now. Not only did she have fun in the house, she meowed and talked to the live camera, she even jumped on the piano.
But just as he stretched out his paw to play a few times, he took it back again.
Wu Kexin, who was following the live broadcast, was stunned for a moment:
"Here, Dundun didn't really learn the piano, right? The way he raised his paw just now, it really looked like he was going to play."
Netizens in the live broadcast room were also very curious, and they kept posting the barrages.
But the little guy jumped onto the balcony and played football by himself.
The adults were eating and drinking. Shen Jiayue was worried that there was not enough to eat, so she volunteered to make some vegetable-wrapped chicken.
This inspired Chen Yan to be a good wife and mother, and she said that she must learn a special dish within a week to avoid ordering takeout when guests come over.
Zeng Xiaoqi ate crispy pork, took a sip of beer, looked at Lin Xu and asked:
"Boss Lin, what are you going to shoot next? I'll see if I can get some buzz."
Lin Xu took a sip of beer:
"Next, I will make gourds, shrimps and crabs with Uncle Qiu, and I will cook lychee fish and grape fish myself. As for other dishes, it's hard to say yet."
I’m going to Yinzhou soon. Before leaving, I must take pictures of a few more dishes.
Upon hearing the names of gourds, shrimps and crabs, Chen Yan immediately asked:
"I haven't asked you yet at dinner, is this easy to do? Can I learn it?"
Lin Xu shook his head:
"It's not suitable. This kind of deep-fried food is wrapped in pork nets and deep-fried. If you're not careful, the oil will collapse. It's better to say goodbye. Sister Yan, if you want to learn how to cook, you can start steaming vegetables."
There are so many dishes that can be steamed, and the requirements for cooking skills are not very high. It is relatively more suitable for novices to learn.
Chen Yan thought for a while and said:
"Okay, I plan to learn all kinds of steamed meat and braised rice from the chefs in the store first, and I'll talk about the rest later."
Everyone ate, drank, and chatted casually.
Two days later, in the kitchen of Qiu Yaozu's house, Shen Jiayue set up the fill light, Chen Yan adjusted the camera, and Hao Qingfeng on the side fixed the radios on Lin Xu and Qiu Yaozu.
Everything is ready, and the filming of Hulu, Shrimp and Crab has officially started.
"Hello everyone, I am Lin Xu. I will continue to learn how to cook with Uncle Qiu today. What are we doing today, Uncle Qiu?"
Qiu Yaozu said to the camera:
"Today I'm going to make a Huaiyang dish that I created when I was free - gourd shrimp and crab. It's a chance for people who don't know how to eat crab to eat crab."
Crabs are delicious, but if you don’t eat them properly, you’ll either not be able to eat the crab meat, or you’ll chew the crab shells together, and you won’t be able to taste the deliciousness of the crabs at all.
As for the eight pieces of crabs, there are not that many tools for ear picking, and I don’t know how to use them, so I have no way of starting.
In order to take care of the emotions of these people and let everyone taste the deliciousness of crab, Qiu Yaozu created the famous dish of gourd shrimp and crab.
To put it bluntly, this dish is to use pork net oil, mix crab powder and diced shrimp into a filling and wrap it up.
Strictly speaking, these should be steamed buns or siomai made with pork net oil, but because of its unique shape and delicious taste, it finally stood out from the dim sum and became a delicious and beautiful dish.
It's not the crab season now, so we can't get fresh crab meat, so we can only use finished crab powder instead.
These crab noodles are made from hairy crabs that are first steamed after they are put on the market, then peeled and the crab meat is peeled off. Then they are mixed with crab paste and crab roe and stir-fried in a pot with lard.
The fried crab meat can be stored in a sealed container for one year.
In the season when there are no fresh crabs to eat, these crabmeal are the only source to satisfy your craving.
Qiu Yaozu said to the camera:
"Both sea crabs and river crabs are rich in umami and lack of fragrance, so even if they are fresh crabs, when making gourd shrimps and crabs, it is inseparable from the step of frying them with lard. Only in this way can the crab noodles taste moist.
Plump, fragrant and fresh, it makes people have endless aftertaste."
After speaking, he picked up a glass jar and showed off the crabmeal he made himself last fall.
The white crab meat and yellow crab paste inside are wrapped in oil, which looks very attractive.
Lin Xu asked:
"What about the shrimps? Do they have to be cooked?"
Qiu Yaozu shook his head:
"The shrimp must be raw. Strictly speaking, it must be freshly peeled. The fresher it is, the better it tastes and has a better texture."
After saying this, he showed the ingredients used to make gourd, shrimp and crab.
Finished crab powder, Taihu prawns, pork net oil, eggs, bread crumbs, garlic leaves... and various condiments.
Qiu Yaozu said to Lin Xu:
"Pick the small ones, peel off the shrimps, and remove the big ones with the tails."
With a tail?
Lin Xu asked curiously:
"Isn't this just like Pipa prawn?"
Qiu Yaozu smiled:
"This kind of shrimp with a tail is generally called anchovy shrimp. This is usually done when the shrimp needs to highlight its shape. It looks good and is easy to eat."
"Is it used as a gourd head in this dish?"
"Yes, use shrimp tails to make gourd heads. It's more beautiful and sells better."
Lin Xu started to do it.
Qiu Yaozu started to beat the eggs, just the egg whites, sprinkled a little salt inside, and then beat them a few times with chopsticks, not breaking them up, but letting the egg whites have a little strength.
As soon as Lin Xu saw it, he remembered the green pearl fish flowers he made two days ago. The usage of the egg white was exactly the same as that time.
After beating the egg whites, Qiu Yaozu took the newly separated egg yolks, beat a few eggs into it, added a little salt, and beat them again. The clear yellow egg yolk liquid looked attractive.
He said while busy:
"Someone must have asked, why do we need to prepare two portions of egg liquid? The egg white is used as a binder for pork net oil. The thicker the stickiness, the better. The egg yolk liquid is used to coat bread crumbs. The more egg yolks, the better it will be fried.
Beautiful...so you have to remember that when wrapping, the more egg whites, the more sticky it will be; when wrapping, the more egg yolks, the better the color will be."
No matter what the dish is, there are traces of the use of ingredients. As long as you find the rules, you can master the entire series of recipes.
For example, the usage of egg white liquid and egg yolk liquid mentioned by Qiu Yaozu is very practical.
Because this rule not only applies to gourds, shrimps and crabs, but also applies to all dishes that require these steps.
Lin Xu peeled off the shrimps, put the shrimps with tails aside according to Qiu Yaozu's instructions, and cut the rest into cubes.
Put the cut shrimps into a bowl, add a little salt, some green onion and ginger water, stir evenly, and beat it a few times to allow the shrimps to absorb the water and at the same time let the surface gel.
After beating, put some egg white in, cover with plastic wrap and marinate for a while.
Taking advantage of this time, boil a pot of water, add onion and ginger into the water, and put the prepared pork net oil in it to scald it.
Qiu Yaozu reminded:
"After scalding it, take it out directly, then put it in cold water for a while, and finally use kitchen paper to dry the water on the surface. This way, the pork net oil will taste better and there will be no fishy smell."
Lin Xu did as he was told, and when everything was ready, Qiu Yaozu asked him to cut the pig fat into four to five centimeter square pieces.
"After cutting them all and stacking them up, cut off a corner of the pork net fat to make it easier to put the crab meat filling inside."
Do you need to cut corners?
The CPUs used in computers all have cut corners and are about the same size as pork net oil. Qiu Yaozu's instructions gave Lin Xu the feeling of rubbing the CPU with his hands.
After everything is ready, pour the crab meat into the small basin.
Then bring the shrimp over, pick it up and beat it twice to make the surface of the shrimp stickier.
After completing this step, put the shrimp into the crab powder and stir it thoroughly with chopsticks so that the crab powder and shrimp are fully mixed together.
Qiu Yaozu put the phoenix tail shrimps, egg white liquid, egg yolk liquid, bread crumbs and pork net oil separately, then prepared the garlic leaves and brought a little dry starch, and the preparation of gourd shrimps and crabs came to an end.
Next, is the highlight of this dish - gourd, shrimp and crab!
