Chapter 768 After working hard all day and night, I finally made the golden soup of Buddha Jumping over the Wall! [Please subscribe]
"Xubao, does Buddha really need eighteen kinds of ingredients to jump over the wall?"
During lunch, Shen Jiayue curiously asked this question. The information she checked online said that Buddha Jumps Over the Wall implies the Eighteen Arhats, so eighteen kinds of ingredients must be used to make it.
Lin Xu ate the fried noodles made by Wei Gan with garlic cloves:
"Nothing, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was originally called Fu Shou Quan. In Fuzhou dialect, it sounds a bit like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. The meaning is very good, so it has been followed. It has nothing to do with the Eighteen Arhats, and there is no need to emphasize the eighteen ingredients. Basically Whatever’s on it is useful.”
It is just a dish, but Chinese people always like to add some explanations about whether it is present or not.
If you can flatter the gods, favor the gods; if you don’t have the immortals, favor the emperor; and if you can, favor the historical celebrities. Anyway, as long as you can add points to the dishes, it doesn’t matter what you get.
Domestic Buddhism abstains from eating meat and killing animals. If you make a pure meat dish and say it implies the Eighteen Arhats, isn't this a clear attempt to provoke Buddhism?
It's a good thing that Gautama Buddha won't show his spiritual power, otherwise he would definitely give a big blow to people who blindly try to gain popularity.
Shen Jiayue did not eat fried noodles, but cooked some swallow silk by herself.
She likes this kind of shredded pork that can be eaten as noodles by blanching it. If the preparation wasn't too complicated, she would even want to eat it every day.
"What are you doing in the afternoon, Xu Bao?"
"Continue to stay in the small kitchen and change the water for the dried food. It's hot to avoid going rancid."
These things may seem simple, but you should not be careless when doing them.
For example, sea cucumbers should not be exposed to any oil during the cooking process, otherwise they will start to rot. In order to prevent the oil from the warm-fried tendons, fish maw and other ingredients from staining the sea cucumbers, you need to change the water of the sea cucumbers first, and then get started. Other ingredients.
In addition, I have to prepare some minced chicken in the afternoon to add to the cooked milk soup.
After cleaning the soup, you have to add the prepared ingredients to make the soup a second time.
It's a lot of trouble, but it's all worth it for the delicious taste.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, after dinner, Lin Xu opened the jar with lotus leaves covering the mouth, put a long-handled spoon in and stirred it several times.
This is done to allow the collagen and nutrients in the meat to be completely integrated into the soup.
"Wow, this soup is so thick and white."
Shen Jiayue took a look at the side and found that the soup inside was thick and very white, like milk.
I thought the soup was ready, but I didn't expect that after Lin Xu finished stirring, he turned up the heat again and let the thick soup in the jar boil again.
After boiling like this for about ten minutes, seal the mouth of the jar with lotus leaves, turn down the heat slightly, and continue cooking.
"Isn't it over?"
"Bake for another hour and then clean up the soup. I will probably get off work later today. If you are tired, you can take Dundun back in advance. I will be at least nine o'clock."
When Shen Jiayue heard this, she felt that instead of waiting here, she might as well take Dundun back to play games.
Thinking of this, she said:
"Then let's go back first... It just so happens that Yanbao won't be home tonight, how about I let her stay at our house?"
"Okay, just look at the arrangements."
Shen Jiayue went out in a hurry. After discussing with Chen Yan, she prepared to leave work early.
In the small kitchen, Lin Xu began to prepare meat paste.
This kind of clear soup needs to be swept at least four times to achieve the effect of clear soup color, and the four times of sweeping the soup requires a lot of minced chicken, conservatively estimated to be more than half a basin.
He used onion and ginger water to beat the pieces of chicken breast into mincemeat. During this process, he also cleaned off the fascia wrapped around the knife head many times.
When the minced meat was ready, I found a large pot suitable for sweeping the soup, and put gauze on the large colander to make a strainer that one person could use to scoop out the minced meat.
Everything is ready, time has almost passed, let’s get started!
He called Wei Gan, and together they poured all the soup and minced meat in the jar into the prepared large pot.
"Holy shit, this milk soup looks so comfortable."
Wei Gan sighed in admiration, feeling that it would be a waste to make such a good milk soup into clear soup.
However, considering that this kind of dish is inherently wasteful and cumbersome, it is normal to add some fiddling with it, because the more it is like this, the more it highlights its value.
After pouring out all the soup, Lin Xu first used a slotted spoon to take out all the minced meat and bones.
When fishing, you must first control the soup above and then pour it into the basin. These milk soups are hard-won. The entire Buddha Jumps over the Wall depends on these soups, so you must cherish them.
Salvage the residue, bring a bucket, cover it with multiple layers of gauze, scoop the soup in the pot and filter it, the gauze will soon be covered with residue and minced meat.
After filtering this time, wash the pot and pour the soup in the bucket back into the pot.
Filter when pouring.
After finishing all this work, the temperature of the soup had also dropped. Lin Xu scooped the minced chicken into the pot and began to sweep the soup.
When the soup needs to reach 50 or 60 degrees Celsius, add minced chicken meat and slowly heat it to 90 degrees Celsius. After the minced meat has absorbed the free protein in the soup, a thick layer of foam will form on the surface of the soup.
As long as you fish out these bubbles, you will be successful in clearing the soup.
Lin Xu made it over and over again. After the fourth time, the soup had turned into a light brown color. It looked slightly yellow in the pot, but it was crystal clear and even the bottom of the pot could be seen clearly.< /p>
At this point, the soup cleaning is officially over.
Wei Qian, who was holding hands on the side, looked at the soup and said with a smile:
"If Chef Dai were here, he would definitely trick you into making boiled cabbage or chickpea pudding."
To tell the truth, it feels a bit like a waste of money to make such a good clear soup and deliberately cook it until it becomes muddy later.
But this is how delicious food comes. Without these repeated steps, the taste of the soup will not be perfect, and this Buddha Jumping Over the Wall will not become the ceiling of Chinese food.
Lin Xu put the blanched ham, pork belly and other ingredients into the jar, added a small basket of chopped tendons, and finally poured in a pound and a half of rice wine.
Stir evenly, use a lighter to light it at the mouth of the altar, and the blue flame will burn instantly.
No matter what kind of dish, as long as rice wine or cooking wine is added, the alcohol should be allowed to evaporate before covering the pot, otherwise the dish will easily have a sour taste.
Especially dishes with soup will be more obvious.
After the alcohol at the mouth of the jar had burned off, Lin Xu turned on high heat and boiled the broth in the jar. After boiling for a few minutes, he covered it with new lotus leaves, twice.
Once you're covered, turn the heat on the stove to the minimum and you can cook it slowly.
It was already nine ten in the evening. Although there were still customers in the store, the fire in the back kitchen had been sealed and the chefs were packing away the cooking utensils and cleaning.
Lin Xu wiped his hands and said to Wei Qian:
"Arrange someone to keep watch here at night to avoid any accidents. If the fire goes out and is re-ignited, turn the heat to a minimum."
After saying that, he changed the water for the various dry products that were soaked in hair, and then took the car keys and went back from get off work.
At this moment, Dundun was doing a live broadcast on the small pool table in the living room. She didn't know what she was talking to the fans, and she kept meowing.
Chen Yan sat in front of the piano and played some simple songs seriously, such as "Autumn Whispers", "Childhood Memories", "Dream Wedding" and other piano songs, occasionally interspersed with some popular songs from earlier years. , such as "First Time", "Fairy Tale" and other songs that are suitable for playing, which were also the songs she often practiced when she was learning piano.
The sweet piano music seemed to be accompaniment for Dundun. The little guy liked his aunt's cooperation very much and even forgave her for her rude behavior in the past.
In the kitchen, Shen Jiayue is making potato chips and other snacks in the air fryer.
By the way, I also grilled some chicken breasts for Dundun. Before grilling, I mixed the meat with raw salted duck egg yolk and egg yolk to serve as a preliminary marinade.
The whole house is filled with the aroma of barbecue, accompanied by piano music and loud shouts, which makes people feel inexplicably peaceful.
Lin Xu put the car in the parking lot and did not go upstairs immediately. Instead, he strolled to buy some premium-grade Meizao cherries and several other fruits.
When I met familiar neighbors and community security guards, I took the initiative to say hello to them.
I took the elevator upstairs and walked into my home. I noticed that my sister-in-law was playing the piano and Dundun was broadcasting live. Without saying anything, I carried the fruit to the kitchen and whispered to give directions to the delicacies that Shen Jiayue was baking.
After finishing all this work, he put on his slippers, washed his hands carefully, and carried the roasted chicken breast to the small billiard table where Dundun was live broadcasting. He smiled and said hello to the netizens in the live broadcast room, and then put the plate down.
Placed in front of Dundun:
"Are you tired? Eat something first and start broadcasting to your villagers later."
Dundun called out and started eating midnight snack.
Lin Xu did not disturb it, but returned to the kitchen and continued making snacks with Shen Jiayue.
When they were almost done, Chen Yan also stopped playing the piano. The three of them sat in the living room, turned on the TV, and chatted quietly while watching TV.
"Xubao, can the Buddha jump over the wall tomorrow?"
"No, we can only make the golden soup tomorrow. Our parents will be here the day after tomorrow."
What we need to do tomorrow is to prepare the golden soup, and then preprocess all the ingredients. Some need to be steamed, some need to be boiled, and some need to be stewed with other side dishes.
There are many ways to do it, and Lin Xu needs to do it step by step.
Wait until the day after tomorrow, when all the ingredients are properly processed. At that time, take a jar, put the ingredients layer by layer into the jar, pour the prepared golden soup into it, seal it with dried lotus leaves and simmer over low heat for a few hours to let the various ingredients
While maintaining the original flavor, it can also absorb the flavors of other ingredients.
When everything is simmered, you can put it into a basin or a cup according to different ways of eating.
Putting it into a basin refers to serving dishes in a basin. The arrangement is more particular. The top is usually a circle of pigeon eggs that have been simmered for several hours. They are not only beautiful and beautiful, but also delicious.
When it comes to the dishes, they are served for one person, each person has a small cup, so the dishes look more exquisite and there is no rush to pick up the dishes from the basin.
Generally, high-end hotels only serve cups and sell meals per person.
Only some old restaurants will bring you a casserole or a small jar directly, and everyone takes turns filling it with a spoon.
Chen Yan asked curiously:
"Brother-in-law, at the state banquet, should we serve this kind of food as a seated meal or just serve it in a big bowl?"
Lin Xu really knew this, he said:
"Before the 1980s, everyone ate at the same table. After the 1980s, in order to keep in line with international standards, state banquets began to implement regular meals. No matter what dish, each person had one portion."
The reason why it has been slow to shoot the state banquet recently is that the food for the regular meal is fine to make alone, but it is really a headache to put flowers on the table.
The standard seating capacity for a state banquet is ten people per table. If you want to serve all the dishes and soups, if you arrange them according to the amount of ten people, it will be too many, dense and unattractive.
In reality, there are standards for the serving process of state banquets. One dish is removed from the previous dish, and the dishes are not piled up in front of the diners.
But if we have to follow this process when shooting, the elegance and solemnity of the state banquet will not be reflected, so the filming team has a headache.
Nowadays, everyone is working hard to take photos of state banquets before the 1980s. At that time, the table was set up with a lot of fuss, and everyone held up chopsticks to directly pick up the food. It was not only easy to pose, but also made the dishes more relaxed.<
/p>
"Meow meow meow!"
While they were chatting, Dundun made a few hurried calls and then jumped away from the live broadcast mobile phone.
Lin Xu stood up and walked over, curiously asking:
"No more live broadcast?"
"Meow~"
It seems that Mayor Dun’s radio speech today has been enough. Lin Xu picked up the mobile phone used for live broadcast and said to the netizens in the live broadcast room:
"Dundun's live broadcast is over, everyone should go to bed early."
Someone posted a message in the barrage asking:
"Boss Lin, why isn't your long video account updated? We are still waiting to satisfy our craving."
"Yes, urge me to update more!"
"Compared to short videos, long videos are more enjoyable to watch. Not only do they have more food, but they also look like a wedding at home."
"..."
Lin Xu looked at everyone and said:
"There will indeed be a happy event in our family in the next few days. I will take a picture of the wedding banquet process for you. Please be patient... By the way, tomorrow we will update a lost dish that needs to be marinated for 120 days. The details are kept secret for the time being, my friend.
See you tomorrow!"
The video of tea oil duck marinating has been filmed before. Tomorrow, I will film the process of taking the tea oil duck from the vat, cutting it into pieces, placing it on the plate, steaming it, and tasting it, and it will be updated.
Under Lin Ji’s food topic, netizens who got the news were chatting enthusiastically.
"What do you think the updated dish will be tomorrow?"
"It's hard to say, there are so many lost dishes, who knows which one Boss Lin is thinking about."
"No matter which one, just wait and wait for the drug gambling man to make a copy."
"Don't forget the marinating time. Even if I imitate it smoothly, I still have to wait four months."
"Boss Lin said so confidently just now, I guess it must taste very good."
"I don't know if it tastes good or not. Anyway, I heard that Linji is going to expand again. Teacher Zheng from our design office once again won the design order and went to Linji to measure the site today."
"Wow, Lin Ji is so big and needs to be expanded. Can't a branch be opened?"
"Yes, Lin Ji's main store is a test product. We will open a new store based on the layout and site size of the main store. You can wait and see what the details will be. Anyway, I am looking forward to it in Chaoyang day and night, hoping that Lin Ji will come soon."
"..."
Lin Xu packed up Dundun's live broadcast equipment and saw the little guy staring blankly at the bright moon outside on the balcony. He walked over curiously and held him in his arms:
"Are you homesick?"
"nia~nia~nia~"
Dundun pointed in the direction of the moon and called softly a few times. Lin Xu couldn't understand it, so he felt that the little guy was a little unhappy.
You are not a creature of the earth, and you don’t know where your hometown is. Even if your father wants to send you home, there is nothing he can do... Lin Xu sighed in his heart, deeply understanding the importance of knowing a foreign language.
It's a pity that the system doesn't have cat language skills, otherwise even 100 million points would be redeemable.
Dundun stayed for a while, then went upstairs to his room.
Chen Yan has recently developed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. After eating snacks, she also returned to her room. Lin Xu tidied up the kitchen and went upstairs to rest with Shen Jiayue.
The next morning, there was still no cooking at home.
Several people drove to the store, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Ma Zhiqiang eating newly made steamed buns.
These buns are made from meat filtered out yesterday, with the bones removed and a large amount of pig fat added, and then filled with fillings made from various condiments.
"Is the stuffing of this bun okay?"
"Okay, okay, it's super delicious. Chef Wei added some pork skin to it this morning. It tastes chewy and chewy."
Lin Xu was worried that the fillings would not taste good, but now that there is no problem, he is relieved.
When we came to the small kitchen, the fire on the stove was still simmering.
The fragrance wafts out through the lotus leaves and can be smelled from a long distance.
When you open the lotus leaves that are covered on the surface, you can see that the soup inside has turned golden and has a very high consistency, which is visible to the naked eye.
The golden soup is ready!
Lin Xu cheered a little in his heart, but he couldn't take it lightly at this time, because whether Jintang will succeed in the end cannot be concluded at this time, and there is still the last step - cooling.
The so-called cooling means pouring out the golden soup, filtering out the ham, pork belly, tendons and other ingredients, then pouring it into a large basin, and carrying it to the cold storage to cool down.
There is a lot of fat in the soup stock, which will affect the taste when you eat it, so you have to find a way to separate it.
The way to separate is to let the soup cool down. The colloid in the soup will solidify into a jelly-like shape, and the oil will gather on the surface. Carefully scrape it off with a spoon. Only in this way will the soup be fragrant but not greasy when you drink it.
But cooling is also a technical job. You cannot cool down too fast, otherwise the oil will be sealed in the skin jelly, and your work will be in vain.
And it won't work if it's slow, as it will affect the quality of the soup stock.
Lin Xu called Ma Zhiqiang over and carefully poured out the soup. The pork belly inside had been completely boiled, and there was not much left of the tendons, most of which had melted into the soup.
"Holy shit, this golden soup looks so tempting. The cost of this pot alone is almost a thousand, right?"
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"It's not that exaggerated, but there are seven or eight hundred."
This is just the cost of ingredients. If you add the cost of time, it’s really high.
After filtering the residue, Lin Xu brought a large basin, and Ma Zhiqiang poured the golden translucent soup into it, and then carried it to the door of the cold storage.
The temperature here is relatively high and the temperature will not cool down so quickly.
In order to prevent dirty things from falling in, the two also put a lid on the basin.
Three hours later, Lin Xu opened the lid again and found that the soup inside had solidified, with some grease gathering on the surface. He carefully scraped it out and patted it on the golden skin jelly.
The trembling touch told him that the golden soup was completely prepared. Next, it was time to deal with various precious ingredients...
