Chapter 761 This is not cooking, it is obviously more tiring than unloading cement! Pork swallow is too energy-consuming! [Please subscribe]
"Xubao, when will we start making meatballs?"
As soon as Lin Xu got up in the morning, Shen Jiayue asked in a daze in bed. Before she woke up, she was thinking about making meatballs.
"After breakfast, go to the store and cook it. The kitchen at home is not suitable for cooking this kind of food."
The kitchen worktop is made of marble. Although it may be okay to knock continuously, it is better to go to the store to be on the safe side. Put a wooden chopping board on the stainless steel worktop in the small kitchen, and it will be no problem to knock until the end of time.
After washing up, he went downstairs to cook rice in a casserole, then took out a small piece of tenderloin, cut it into minced meat, and marinated it with onion and ginger water, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, egg white and other seasonings and ingredients.
Steam a few more century eggs, steam the runny eggs thoroughly, chop them into pieces with a kitchen knife, and set them aside for later use.
Then mix a little flour with baking powder and baking powder, and prepare to fry some steamed buns.
Put the noodles on top, wash some lettuce, fry the steamed buns and mix them with the leftovers to make a simplified version of cold fried dough sticks, and eat them with preserved egg and lean meat porridge.
This was Shen Jiayue's favorite food before going to bed last night. She said she hadn't eaten cold fried dough sticks in a long time and was so hungry.
In fact, he just wanted to eat in the middle of the night, so Lin Xu finally managed to arrange the cold fried dough sticks until this morning, but the price was to add preserved egg and lean meat porridge.
After completing these preparations, Lin Xu went to the rooftop, watered the vegetables, followed the video tutorial sent by her mother, pinched the heads of some vine-like vegetables, and then pulled out the weeds.
Just after finishing playing with it, Shen Jiayue came to the rooftop with a yawn.
Behind her was Dundun, who was also sleepy-eyed. The little guy was sleeping soundly, but was woken up by Shen Jiayue with a newly bought pinball, and then followed all the way to the rooftop.
"Whoops..."
Shen Jiayue threw the pinball forward, and Dundun, who was yawning, immediately chased after her.
Fast-moving objects can stimulate the hunting genes in cats. Even if they know they are not prey, the little guy will still chase after it quickly.
The pinball bounced and rolled on the turf, and Dundun followed it to catch it, making a "click-click" sound in its mouth that threatened the prey.
"I'm going to start dancing. If breakfast isn't ready after dancing, I'll be punished!"
Shen Jiayue threatened Lin Xu "viciously", but was immediately picked up by Lin Xu and carried on his shoulders, scaring her so much that she screamed:
"Honey, I was wrong, I don't dare to be naughty anymore!"
Lin Xu put the girl down, kissed her fair face, and then said:
"Eat more in the morning, because making meatballs is a very physical job. If you eat less, you won't be able to last."
Shen Jiayue pouted:
"What should I do if I eat too much and gain weight? Will you dislike me?"
"Definitely not. Besides, you are not fat. I can carry it easily. How can you call it fat? You still feel a little thin."
Lin Xu pinched the baby's cheek and went downstairs to continue making breakfast.
After he left, Shen Jiayue muttered:
"Smelly Xu Bao doesn't talk about martial arts, he's here to trick me, he's here to sneak attack on my 22-year-old little comrade... The new nun outfit recommended by Yan Bao has arrived today, and I'll take care of you tonight!"
Lin Xu came to the kitchen and steamed a piece of chicken breast for Dundun. He was worried that Shen Jiayue would get tired of just eating the steamed buns, so he made two more steamed cakes.
This kind of doughy pancake is most suitable for manual workers. You can eat it for a long time without feeling hungry.
The reason why he prepared so many carbohydrates was mainly to prepare the meat swallow, or to be precise, to prepare the meat swallow skin.
This kind of delicacy requires a lot of physical strength, so you need to eat as many carbohydrates as possible so that you can pound the meat into a paste and roll it into paper-thin wonton wrappers.
In fact, there are many ways to eat the skin of meat bird's nest. In addition to making wontons, it can also be cut into thin strips and eaten as noodles. This kind of delicacy is called bird's nest, and it is said that the taste is somewhat similar to bird's nest.
Half an hour later, Shen Jiayue finished her exercise covered in sweat. She took a shower first, then put on clean clothes and went downstairs to eat.
At this moment, Lin Xu has completely prepared breakfast.
Oil buns, cold oil buns, steamed noodles, pickled peppers mixed with shredded bamboo shoots, spicy cabbage, and a small pot of perfectly cooked preserved egg and lean meat porridge.
"Wow, it's so rich?"
Recently, I usually go to the store to eat something in the morning. Suddenly making so much food makes Shen Jiayue a little uncomfortable.
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"It's mainly to replenish your physical strength. Eat more. If the pork swallow skin can be cooked today, I plan to think of several new ways to eat it, but the specifics will depend on how the swallow skin is made."
As soon as Shen Jiayue heard that she wanted to think about new food, she immediately said:
"No problem, no problem, I promise to do a good job."
Before going to bed last night, this girl had already watched a lot of videos on making meatballs on the Internet, and found that it was not difficult, but it was a bit energy-consuming.
But for a person who works out all year round, the most important thing is physical strength.
She is even a little eager to try it, looking forward to making meatballs as a new physical exercise.
Burn fat to make delicious food, eat the delicious food, and it will become part of the fat again... It belongs to the law of conservation of fat.
Putting the chicken breast on its exclusive small dining table, and waiting for the little guy to stick his butt out to eat, Lin Xu returned to the dining table and started eating breakfast.
He took a piece of steamed cake, took a bite, and sent a message to Che Zai:
"Is the gavel soaked?"
"I soaked it last night and just changed the water."
To make pork tenderloin, you need to use a mallet to continuously pound the tenderloin. However, the mallet cannot be used directly. It must be soaked. This will increase the weight of the wood. At the same time, the expansion of the mallet will also make the texture denser and no wood chips will be thrown out.
.
And after soaking, the meat paste will not stick to the surface of the mallet and cannot be scraped off. This is a little tip for pounding meat.
In fact, instead of using a mallet, you can use the steel whip used in Chaoshan hand-beating beef balls. It is more efficient and the minced meat will be more elastic.
But today Shen Jiayue wants to shoot a video, so it’s better to use a traditional mallet to avoid netizens complaining about being unauthentic, soulless, and tasteless.
"This pickled pepper is delicious. It is appetizing and relieves tiredness."
Shen Jiayue ate a pickled pepper ring, then quickly picked up a piece of steamed bun and put it into her mouth. The sour, salty and spicy pickled pepper formed a strong contrast with the crispy and soft steamed bun.
Eat it in your mouth, then add a small spoonful of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, it is so enjoyable!
After the meal, Lin Xu tidied up the kitchen, went upstairs to change clothes, hugged Dundun, and went out to the store with Shen Jiayue, who was wearing sportswear.
"Is the meat ready?"
When he came to the store, Lin Xu looked at the car and asked.
"It's ready. There is tenderloin and hind leg meat. The fascia on the outside has been cleaned. They are all lean meat."
In the small kitchen, the meat for making pork swallows has been prepared, weighing five or six kilograms. Lin Xu looked at it and found that it was indeed suitable for making pork swallow skins.
Shen Jiayue looked at the meat and asked curiously:
"Are these enough? Will they not be enough to eat?"
Lin Xu smiled:
"Normally speaking, one pound of meat can make more than a hundred pieces of pork swallow skin, and the amount of a bowl of wontons is about a dozen. Don't worry about not eating enough. If you do it well, we should worry about how to eat it.
”
He placed an oversized wooden chopping board on the workbench and specially made a border around it so that when meat foam splashed, it wouldn't be all over the room.
Then he brought over the mallet that had been soaked overnight.
This thing is thick at one end and thin at the other, a bit like a car exhaust pipe. As soon as the water on the surface was wiped dry, Shen Jiayue picked it up and swung it a few times:
"Xubao, do you think I look like Xi Shi Huansha?"
Lin Xu looked at this girl's crazy look. Apart from being pretty, she didn't think she looked like Xi Shi at all. Her movements of swinging the mallet looked more like Li Yuanba.
But if you like it, you can't really say it, otherwise you will be punished.
He smiled and said:
"It does look a lot like Xishi Huansha. No wonder it can even stare at the fish... But this mallet is a tool for pounding meat. It cannot be played with. This is the rule in the kitchen."
It is forbidden to play around in the kitchen, and it is not allowed to use kitchen utensils as toys, because if you are not careful, it may cause a tragic accident.
When Shen Jiayue heard this, she quickly put down the gavel in her hand, took off her sports coat, put on her exclusive chef uniform, and put on her chef hat. She immediately looked like an executive chef.

Set up all the shooting equipment, wash your hands carefully, and officially start shooting the making process of the meatballs.
"Hello everyone, my name is Shen Jiayue. You said the chicken shaved tofu in the last issue was not difficult. I was very angry. In order to prove my cooking skills, today I am going to challenge a difficult dish - pork swallow. If you think I can make it, please deduct it.
1. If you can’t do it, please type ‘You are good for nothing except your beauty’. Without further ado, let’s start now!”
Hum, high-end chefs don’t need to talk so much nonsense. If you want to know the history of meat swallows, you can check it on the Internet. Today, my head chef will teach you how to make meat swallows in a light and step-by-step manner.
Shen Jiayue placed two pieces of hind leg meat and a piece of tenderloin meat on the chopping board according to the method taught by Lin Xu, then picked up the mallet and started pounding the meat.
Lin Xu said from the side:
"Don't smash it too hard at the beginning. You need to smash the meat first, then smash it into pieces, and finally smash it into a meat paste rich in muscle fibers. Only in this way can you make smooth, thin and tough meat swallow skin."
The origin of the word meat swallow is said to be because this kind of wonton has a smooth and delicious texture, not inferior to bird's nest, and has more meat filling than bird's nest, so it is called meat swallow.
Of course, it is difficult to tell whether the origin of this historical name is true or false.
In addition, under the influence of "gentlemen are far away from the kitchen" in the past, those who were literate did not cook, and those who cooked were illiterate. The names of the dishes were all figured out by the educated people themselves, and many times they had nothing to do with the dishes themselves.
p>
For example, in the Huaiyang cuisine "General Crossing the Bridge", it was originally just one fish and two meals, half cooking and half soup, but the name "General Crossing the Bridge" was given, which made people confused for a while.
After becoming famous, this practice of eating two dishes with one dish has even formed a bridge cuisine, such as bridge ribs, bridge crucian carp, bridge tofu, etc., which have more spin-offs than "Breaking Bad".<
/p>
"La la la, la la la, I am a little expert in cooking..."
Shen Jiayue wielded the mallet and beat the pork on the chopping board happily. She has good physical strength, so she is not like those "Lin Daiyu" who can't unscrew bottle caps on the Internet. Instead, she finds it fun.
You can make delicious food just by waving your arms. This is simply delicious food prepared for people with weak foundations like us.
Lin Xu stood aside and watched for a while, feeling that everything was normal. Just as he was going to inspect the big kitchen, Shen Jiayue asked:
"Please finish explaining the next steps, so that I won't have to figure out what to do later."
"Just keep smashing it. When you see the white fascia, remember to pick it out. Flatten the meat and scrape it into a pile with a knife before continuing to smash it. The longer the smashing time, the better."
In fact, longer is not always better, but people who do it for the first time will most likely give up halfway through.
In fact, Lin Xu didn't have high hopes. He even planned to change it to Fuding meat slices later. It was all minced meat anyway, so it was normal to change it to Fuding meat slices.
However, in the Fuzhou cuisine system, this kind of delicacy braised with minced meat is not called Fuding pork slices, but is called flat meat, and is usually eaten with noodles.
At the door of the kitchen, Chen Yan poked her head and took a look. She thought that her cousin would forget about making meatballs today, and she was ready to ridicule her.
I didn’t expect that I would start working now, and I would be more active than the migrant workers who rely on their wages to pay off their mortgages.
Lin Xu walked out of the small kitchen and saw Chen Yan coming over, and asked curiously:
"Didn't you shoot a documentary about the state banquet today?"
"It was filmed, but now the full responsibility is given to Xiaoqi. She transferred Hao Qingfeng to the program team, plus the director from CCTV, it is enough."
After Chen Yan finished speaking, she glanced at Shen Jiayue in the small kitchen:
"Can she really do it? She won't hurt herself, right?"
"No, it's not difficult."
After Lin Xu said this, he went to the big kitchen to inspect the work and held a meeting with the staff of the roast duck department. Yesterday's roast duck was an instant hit, but he should not be proud, because there should be more people coming here today.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Everyone comes to eat roast duck with great expectations, and a mistake may be magnified infinitely.
At this time, colleagues in the industry are also holding magnifying glasses and waiting to find faults. Once they find any flaws, they will quickly buy Hot Search and hammer them.
You have big bosses protecting you so you can't throw dirty water, but if you cause problems yourself, don't blame us for adding fuel to the fire.
Ning Xiaoli said:
"Don't worry, after each roast duck comes out of the oven, I will personally look at it and make sure it is OK before serving it to customers."
As a descendant of the Ning family, coming to work at Linji has the intention of cooperating with both parties. If there is a flaw, not only will the Linji brand be damaged, but the Ning family’s brand will also be smashed.
In this case, Ning Xiaoli will only be more attentive.
I would rather serve the food slowly, but also ensure that there are no flaws or mistakes.
In the small kitchen, the tenderloin on the chopping board gradually spread along the muscle fibers under the hammer. The originally relatively shapely pieces of meat soon became soft and soft.
Shen Jiayue tidied it up, trying not to break the muscle fibers, and followed Lin Xu's instructions to gradually loosen the meat, smash it into pieces, and finally smash it into meat paste.
"Oops, my arms are a little sore."
She stopped to move her right shoulder and arm, and felt that her biceps were a little sore, but the meat paste was still a lot worse now, so she had to continue.
She switched to her left hand and continued tapping, trying to relax her right arm as much as possible.
Chen Yan walked in and took a camera to the side to take a close-up to increase the sense of the camera. Although she was a little unhappy about being surpassed by her cousin in cooking, the video still had to be shot.
After all, my cousin is also the UP owner of Happy Media.
"Wow, I can't do it anymore, I have to take a break."
Shen Jiayue put down the mallet and moved her arms and shoulders. She felt that the fried buns and steamed cakes she had eaten in the morning were somewhat digested.
Chen Yan pressed down all the cameras to pause, walked to the chopping board, grabbed the gavel and swung it twice:
"This really has no technical content. No wonder my brother-in-law recommended you to make meatballs."
"After cutting, there are steps of dusting with flour, rolling out the dough, adjusting the stuffing, and wrapping the stuffing. After all, it is an intangible cultural heritage snack. How can it be so simple... I really don't want to chat with you people who have no cooking skills at all."
p>
Chen Yan:?????????
You only know how to cook a few dishes, so leave it here and pretend to be an expert.
Shen Jiayue drank some water, took a few breaths, and then continued to pound the meat with the mallet.
Although Chen Yan was full of stomachaches and wanted to vomit, she still very considerately helped with the filming. She talked about the deep love between sisters, but in fact she just wanted to taste the meat swallow.
At around ten o'clock, Shen Jiayue felt that her shoulders and arms were sore and swollen, and the pork on the table had turned into pink meat.
Lin Xu came over to take a look and picked out a few white fascia:
"It's almost done, but if you smash it again, the effect will be better."
What?
Do you want to smash it again?
Shen Jiayue originally thought it was good, but after hearing this, she had to steel herself, scrape the meat paste into a pile with a kitchen knife, hold the mallet in both hands, and continue beating.
Outside the camera, Lin Xu put the prepared sweet potato starch into the grinder and used the grinding function to grind the lumps of sweet potato starch into powder.
Then sift again to sift out the particles in the starch, leaving only the powder.
To make the skin of the meat swallow, it is not enough to just have pork. You also have to add sweet potato starch. After the meat paste is smashed, use a large amount of starch to wrap the meat paste, and then roll it into thin slices little by little.
The reason why the meat swallow skin tastes smooth and delicious is not only because the meat is smashed out of the gelatin, but also the most important thing is the role of sweet potato starch.
Starch already has the effect of increasing the tenderness of food, and adding it to the skin of pork swallows will further amplify this effect.
The starch was ground properly, and Shen Jiayue also smashed the meat paste thoroughly.
At this time, she no longer underestimated her enemy at the beginning:
"Xubao, what should we do next?"
"Scrape the minced meat into a pile, and finally pick out the fascia inside, then sprinkle the starch on it, thickly, let the dry powder completely wrap the minced meat, and then slowly roll it out."
Shen Jiayue doesn't quite understand:
"Should you knead the stuffing into dough and then roll it out?"
"Don't knead, let the starch spread on the meat paste, this will make it more flexible. If you knead it into dough in advance, the meat paste's ductility will be greatly reduced, and it will not be rolled out into paper."
The production process of meat swallow is very interesting. It seems to be hand-rolled noodles, but the process is completely different.
The most important point is not to knead the starch into the meat paste, but always on the surface of the meat paste, so that the ductility of the meat paste can be fully exerted.
At the same time, the presence of starch can also effectively prevent the meat paste from sticking to the rolling pin.
Shen Jiayue scraped the meat into a pile and picked out several fascia during the process.
After finishing her work, she sprinkled starch on the meat paste and took a rolling pin to roll out the dough.
At this time, Dundun, who was sleeping soundly downstairs, suddenly opened his eyes and prepared to secretly help mommy make beautiful pork swallow skin...
