Chapter 732 Dundun: What should I do if I am bullied by a pregnant woman? Watch me summon heavenly soldiers and generals! [Please subscribe]
"Xiao Xu is making a new dish?"
Seeing Lin Xu holding the piece of pork belly on the workbench and starting to change the knife, Shi Wenming asked curiously.
"I'm going to make a dish that I don't usually eat, let's see how it tastes."
After Lin Xu finished speaking, he placed the pork belly skin-side up on the chopping board, scraped the skin with a kitchen knife to remove the greasiness and dirt on the surface, so that the meat skin would taste better.
After doing this, use kitchen paper to dry the water on the surface of the pork, and then start marinating.
Take a small bowl, add one tablespoon of honey, half a tablespoon of rice wine, two teaspoons of salt and pepper, and stir evenly.
Then take the pork belly and start applying the prepared honey and pepper salt water to the surface of the meat.
After the first scrubbing, you need to put it aside to dry so that the pores on the surface of the pork can absorb the juice.
When the surface is slightly dry, scrub it again.
Both salt and rice wine have a penetrating effect, allowing the honey to be completely immersed into the meat. This makes the stewed meat delicious.
Pork belly needs to be dried every time it is washed. Taking advantage of this interval, Lin Xu took an ax and went outside to chop a green bamboo.
Cut the bamboo into pieces, then split them into pieces, and then weave the pieces across each other into a grate with a relatively thick mesh.
The grate is used to trap water for steaming. You can also use a stainless steel grate, but a grate made of fresh bamboo will smell slightly fresh, which will make the meat taste better.
"Xubao, what are you doing?"
There were too many tourists at the racecourse, so Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan carried Dundun around for a while before driving back in the scenic area's internal commuter bus.
Dundun jumped out of the car, babbling at Lin Xu, as if telling his father what he had just seen at the racecourse.
Lin Xu rubbed its head and said with a smile:
"I'll make a temporary grate, and later I'll make a stewed meat to try... Dundun, do you like these bamboos? If you like, I'll make a grasshopper cage for you."
Dundun stood in front of a pile of bamboos. When he heard this, his eyes were filled with expectation.
It actually doesn’t understand what a grasshopper cage is.
But if you don’t understand, you won’t understand. As long as your father gives you, you will be happy.
Seeing the expectant look on its face, Lin Xu washed his hands and returned to the kitchen, smeared another layer of honey and pepper salt water on the surface of the pork, and then exchanged the bamboo weaving technique in the special skills column.
Take the remaining bamboo slices and place them, skin side down, on a wooden bench with one end of the wooden bench against the wall.
Use a knife to thin the bamboo slices. This kind of tender bamboo has a lot of water and is easier to handle.
After scraping, use a knife to split the bamboo slices into small narrow strips of three to four millimeters, and then start weaving.
Shen Jiayue thought that Lin Xu was just talking casually, but she didn't expect that he actually made it up. His technique was very skillful, and she thought he was an old bamboo craftsman.
Chen Yan opened her mouth and was a little surprised:
"Brother-in-law, you are so versatile, aren't you? You even know how to weave bamboo."
Lin Xu said:
"Some specific dishes require the chef to weave some bamboo shapes on site for decoration or as a dish container, so it is normal for the chef to know how to weave bamboo."
While he was busy, he made random remarks and quickly weaved a five-centimeter bamboo cage.
The cage has even gaps and classic patterns. It looks delicate and cute. When Dundun saw it, he immediately rubbed it a few times with its big, fluffy head.
As long as it smells like this cat, this cage belongs to me!
After rubbing it, it took the small bamboo cage in its mouth and went to show off to grandma and grandma.
Lin Xu packed up the remaining bamboos, and seeing Shen Jiayue eager to try, he quickly said:
"Don't touch these. Both knives and bamboo strips are very sharp. If you are not careful, you will scratch your hand. Just wait and eat the meat. You will definitely like the braised meat today."
"Really? Then I'm waiting to eat it!"
As expected, Shen Jiayue's attention was attracted by the braised pork, and she no longer paid attention to the bamboo weaving.
Lin Xu said:
"Mr. Yan is going back to the capital with Professor Lelecui and Mr. Tateyama in the afternoon. The teacher's wife is also leaving. You go and see if the gifts are ready. It took a lot of effort for me to come here, so I can't go back empty-handed."
"Okay Xu Bao, I'll go right away."
The previous visit of Luo Shan and Uncle Gao had already covered the mountains on the other side of the reservoir. In the past two days, Luo Shan, Yan Lin, Lin Hongqi, Shen Guofu and others had already set the tone for the next development plan.
p>
Build a circular plank road around the reservoir so that tourists can walk, run, view, and ride. At the same time, develop the mountain opposite and build an aerial cableway. Visitors can use the cableway from Longshou Peak directly to the opposite side of the reservoir.
p>
From there, you can follow the trail down the mountain, or you can quickly rush down the mountain through the water slide and enjoy the fun of extreme downhilling.
In addition, an Internet celebrity train will be built in the valley on the side of Longshou Peak, and plank roads will continue to be built forward, making the valley a tourist route.
At the end of the valley, the east gate of Longqishan Scenic Area is established. Tourists can directly enter the scenic area from nearby towns to enjoy the scenery.
At the same time, an uphill cableway will be built near Dongdaemun that leads directly to Longshou Peak to facilitate tourists to quickly go up the mountain. Those who are unwilling to go up the mountain can also carry out mountaineering activities through the eastern route.
At the foot of the mountain on the other side of the reservoir, a west gate will also be built to give tourists more choices to visit, and to avoid congestion at the entrance to the scenic spot during holidays.
As for the West Gate, there are naturally mountain climbing ropeways, and there are also shuttle buses within the scenic area, allowing tourists to quickly go to popular attractions such as racecourses and reservoirs.
The entire expansion would cost almost hundreds of millions of dollars, so Luo Shan, Yan Lin and Shen Guofu made a second capital injection.
Lin Xu himself also asked Dou Wenjing to invest 10 million to support his parents' career.
In the kitchen, Shi Wenming looked at Lin Xu's pork belly smeared with honey over and over again, and asked curiously:
"Isn't this meat ready yet?"
Lin Xu smiled, smeared the honey and pepper salt water one last time, then added a bowl of water and a bowl of rice wine to the casserole, put it on a bamboo grate, and placed the pork belly skin side down on the bamboo grate.
Cover the pot lid, then wet the jade paper, and completely cover the gap around the edge of the pot lid.
The biggest feature of this dish is that the aroma of the meat must not be allowed to escape. The aroma of the meat must be steamed out and then absorbed into the meat, so that the pork tastes unique and delicious.
After finishing these, put it on the stove and turn on low heat to simmer.
In the past, to make this dish, straws made of wheat straw or hay had to be used. This kind of hay is more buoyant, rises quickly, and burns out quickly.
After one straw is cooked, the meat continues to simmer. Wait until the pot is cool, open it, turn the meat over, then cover the pot again, cover it with jade paper, and cook another straw.
After stewing like this twice, the meat will be fully cooked and the aroma will completely penetrate into the meat.
It seems to be a very simple method, but it requires extremely high skills and firepower control from the chef, so this technique was lost over time.
Now there is no hay handle at home, and there is no earthen stove or pot, so Lin Xu can only use a gas stove to simulate the burning state of hay.
He first burned the pot on low heat for a while, then turned it to high heat.
After about a minute, gradually reduce the fire. At this time, there is a sizzling sound in the pot. This is the water boiling.
The fire gradually decreased, and the sizzling sound in the pot gradually stopped.
When Lin Xu turned the heat to the minimum, the sound in the pot could no longer be heard, but the jade button paper changed from wet to dry, and now it is wet again.
Obviously, there is always water vapor inside.
After a while, the fire on the stove was completely turned off, and Lin Xu went to do other things.
Half an hour later, he came over and touched the casserole. It was still a little warm, so he would wait a little longer.
"Xiao Xu, do you think our place is suitable for braised meat with dried vegetables?"
Shi Wenming opened the lid and saw that the braised pork ribs, beans and rolls were ready, and the alluring aroma made people salivate.
The rolls in the pot have also been simmered. The upper half is white and plump, while the lower half is soaked in the soup of the ribs, which looks very delicious.
"Let's start lunch then?"
Shi Wenming originally wanted to try pot-braised pork, but now it seems that he can't make the trip.
Lin Xu said:
"It's the afternoon for the braised pork. Let's eat first. After lunch, we have to go to the airport and high-speed rail station to see people off."
Yan Lin went to Beijing in the afternoon, and everyone wanted to take advantage of her plane to go back together and experience the joy of taking a private charter flight.
But this small plane can only carry about ten passengers, so others can only take the high-speed rail back.
Fortunately, the tickets provided by the racecourse are business class, which is relatively comfortable, not much worse than a private charter flight.
Shen Guofu's family and Chen Yan will go back in two days, because the day after tomorrow is Mrs. Lin's birthday, and everyone plans to wish the old lady a birthday together before setting off.
Over in the restaurant, Tian Qinglan was holding Chen Yan's hand, telling her to keep warm these two days and not run around like a crazy girl.
"Don't worry, Mom, I will live in peace for the sake of the baby."
Just as he was talking, the food was brought in. When Lao Shen saw that it was pork ribs stewed with beans, his appetite was immediately aroused:
"After two days of drinking with me, I just want to eat some stew to regain my consciousness. This pork ribs and beans stew is really good. I had to eat two big bowls of it today!"
We don’t drink alcohol at noon, and we don’t arrange any appetizers. There are several kinds of stews, and you can have them with just rice, or with steamed buns or rolls filled with broth.
Lin Xu filled a large bowl for himself, sat down next to Shen Jiayue, and smoothly put the straight ribs in the bowl into Shen Jiayue's bowl, and then put the backbone in her bowl over.
This girl doesn't know how to chew bones. Every time she bites, she just eats the meat on the surface and is done. She doesn't experience the fun of chewing bones at all.
So Lin Xu switched with her and let the girl eat those straight stick-like ribs directly, eliminating the trouble of chewing for a long time without eating any meat.
Lin Xu, on the other hand, can enjoy the joy of picking out the meat bit by bit.
"This kind of pork ribs tastes really good."
Shen Jiayue naturally had no objection to this kind of exchange. She picked up a rib and gave it a gentle shake, and the meat on it fell off.
Just take another bite of the roll with the meat, and the more you eat it, the more delicious it becomes.
"How big of a cake should I order for my birthday?"
Auntie Lin Hongxin asked, planning to make a reservation for the cake when she returns to the city in the afternoon. The old lady's seventieth birthday must be a beautiful one.
Lin Xu said:
"Auntie, I won't order cakes anymore. I will make Baizishou peaches for everyone to try."
Lin Hongxin asked with some surprise:
"Is this the super-large longevity peach you made in your video? It's great. I've been wanting to try it for a long time. I'll eat a few more when the time comes."
"No problem, it's not difficult to make Shoudao. If you want to learn, I'll teach you."
Upon hearing this, not only Lin Hongxin became interested, but also the eldest aunt, second aunt, second aunt and other housewives all had their eyes lit up.
Baizi Shoudao, if you learn how to do it, you can show your skills when relatives and friends celebrate their birthdays. This will be the brightest focus of the whole audience.
Learn, you must learn!
Lucy, who was chewing ribs with Geng Lele on the side, was also a little eager to try:
"I also want to learn..."
Geng Lele said without mercy:
"Fuck you, you can't even tell the difference between flour and starch. Even if you make it later, no one would dare to eat it... If you really want to learn cooking, I can teach you and let you feel the joy of cooking."
This time she returns to the capital to celebrate Yan Lin's birthday. After her birthday, she will return to Shanghai to work.
Geng Lele secretly learned Coca-Cola Spare Ribs two days ago and is just waiting to show it off, so now she is eagerly looking forward to her godmother’s birthday coming soon.
Lucy glanced at the little mushroom head in confusion:
"You? Are your cooking skills very high?"
"It's just average, ranked third in the world. Anyway, it's easy to learn and get started. You can do it without any foundation, so you just say you can't learn it or not?"
"Learn!"
The two stooges reached an agreement.
After the meal, everyone said goodbye to each other and left in the car.
Lin Xu's family divided into two groups and sent everyone to the airport and high-speed rail station respectively, and gave them small gifts prepared by the scenic spot and racecourse.
After seeing off the guests, Lin Xugang was about to drive back to the scenic spot, when Shen Guofu asked:
"Xiao Xu, when will the braised pork of yours be ready? I wanted to ask during the meal, but I was afraid that Professor Cui and Mr. Tateyama would not go back when they heard there was a good dish, so I held back."
Eating ribs and still thinking about the meat, you are worthy of being your father-in-law.
Lin Xu said:
"I'll go back and braise it again later, and I can eat it at night."
"That's good, that's good. I thought I would have to wait for several days."
Han Shuzhen rolled her eyes at him:
"I'll go back and weigh myself on the scale later to see how much weight I've gained recently. If I'm much fatter, I'll eat vegetarian food at night and don't worry about meat."
As soon as he heard the weight, Lao Shen immediately quibbled:
"How can anyone weigh themselves in the afternoon? It's not always in the morning."
"Should I still go to the toilet to reduce weight as much as possible?"
"Yes, this is the standard way to call it... Let's go hiking together in the afternoon. We will climb to Longshou Peak and then come down. I have been drinking with them for the past two days and haven't had time to exercise."
Upon hearing about the exercise, Han Shuzhen readily agreed:
"Okay, we will go hiking in the afternoon, and you are allowed to eat meat when we come down."
Back at the scenic spot, the casserole has completely cooled down.
Lin Xu uncovered the jade-button paper on the surface and opened the lid of the pot. He found that the pork inside had shrunk slightly, as if the meat had twitched with the fascia after blanching.
Taking out the pork belly and taking out the bamboo grate, Lin Xu saw that half of the water at the bottom of the pot was gone, and a thick layer of grease floated on the surface.
Obviously, this is steamed from the meat.
Shi Wenming sniffed it and asked curiously:
"Why doesn't it taste good?"
"After the temperature drops, all the flavor is absorbed into the meat, so the surface flavor is very light."
Lin Xu sniffed the surface of the pork belly, and then smelled the faint smell of wine and pepper.
He put the bamboo grate back into the pot and put the pork belly in, but this time it had to be skin-side up, changing the position.
Cover the pot and seal with jade paper.
Lin Xu turned on the stove and once again simulated the firepower of burning hay for simmering.
At this time, Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan, who had gone to see someone off at the high-speed rail station, had also returned. As soon as Chen Yan got off the bus, she yelled:
"Finally! Free! Free!"
Hahaha, in Beijing, her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and mother-in-law were all nagging her. Although it was better to come to the scenic spot, her father-in-law and mother-in-law also came to join in the fun, causing her to always be under high pressure.
Now that I have sent everyone away, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Shen Jiayue said:
"Take it easy, Yan Bao. I think experts say that early miscarriage is easy. You have to take good care of my nephew and wait for him to kowtow to me in the New Year."
"It's okay, it's okay. There are outstanding people in Longqishan. How could something unexpected like that happen? Besides, haven't you always regarded Dundun as your lucky star? With it here, I have nothing to worry about."
Dundun, who was kicking the grasshopper cage as a ball, glanced at her aunt, "You bully me every day, but you still want me to protect you?
Forget it, for the sake of my little cousin, I won’t care about you so much.
It was playing hard when Chen Yan came over and kicked the grasshopper cage out of the wall:
"How about my great nephew? Isn't my aunt awesome?"
Dundun: "..."
Don’t think that you can’t take care of you just because you’re pregnant with your little cousin.
It ran out angrily, found its own grasshopper cage, carried it back to the house and began to sleep.
Chen Yan made a V sign proudly like a victorious female general:
"Haha, if we had put it aside, Xiao Dundun would have started to take revenge on me a long time ago, but now she can only sulk. Being a pregnant woman does have preferential treatment. I already like this status!"
After saying that, she sat on the internal commuter car in the scenic spot and waved to her cousin:
"Go! Go! Go! Come with me to the racecourse for a spin. I haven't ridden a horse for a long time. The elders have always told me to be careful. Hum, now I want to have a good ride."
Shen Jiayue thought of the huge crowds at the racecourse and couldn't help but said:
"I won't go, there are too many people over there... Yan Bao, let me teach you how to cook, Coke Pork Ribs, super delicious and super simple."
Chen Yan just wants to have fun now and doesn't want to learn to cook.
Just as she was about to refuse, her phone suddenly rang.
I took it out and saw that it was my mother Shen Guofang calling, so I quickly chose to answer:
"What's wrong, Mom? Is something okay? I'm about to learn how to cook from Yueyue. I can't run around because I'm pregnant. I plan to take the opportunity to improve my cooking skills so that my children won't write essays and complain about my poor cooking..."< /p>
She was afraid that her mother would nag her on the phone, so she lied and prepared to end the call.
Shen Guofang really didn’t say much:
"Mom, nothing's wrong. I just want to ask you, is the high-speed rail to Yinzhou from Yinzhou East? I haven't bought a ticket, so I'm a little unsure."
Chen Yan said:
"Yes, Yinzhoudong, I just sent someone back from there."
Wait...Mom asked what is going on in Yinzhoudong?
Do you want to buy a high-speed rail ticket to come to Yinzhou?
Oh my god, I don’t want to be controlled by my elders anymore!
In the restaurant, on a cat sofa shaped like a dragon chair, Dundun turned over comfortably, hiding his merits and fame...
