Chapter 776 Everything can be made into pine! Dundun: I really look forward to blocking the door and asking for red envelopes tomorrow! [Please subscribe]
"Wow, beef and chicken can also be used to make meat floss?"
Shen Jiayue looked at the beef tenderloin and chicken breast that Lin Xu held in surprise. She thought that all meat floss was made from pork, but she didn't expect that beef and chicken could also be made into meat floss.
Lin Xu said while cleaning the fascia on the beef:
"All lean meat with texture can be made into floss, and even eggs, rapeseed, carrots and other ingredients can be made into floss. This is actually a Chinese cooking technique."
Pine refers to turning the ingredients into fluffy filaments through a series of techniques. They taste crisp and fragrant, and can taste salty or sweet. Many high-end meals are inseparable from the embellishment of pine.
Among the meat floss, the most valuable is the meat floss made from venison, known as "Kilin Floss". In the past, it was always a high-end dish that could only be eaten in the palace.
Listening to Lin Xu's explanation, Shen Jiayue felt as if she didn't know this ingredient at all.
There are so many types of ordinary little embellishments in cake shops. I feel like I have eaten so much meat floss in vain since I was a child.
Lin Xu removed the fascia, cut the tenderloin into large pieces, put it in the pot and started to blanch it.
After finishing these tasks, he packed up the chicken breasts and said:
"I'll make you some egg floss when I'm not busy. In fact, this stuff is very similar to the egg floss in Yangzhou fried rice. It can even be said to be the same way."
In Yangzhou fried rice, the eggs must be fried into very fine strands, and the egg floss is cooked in the same way.
Soon, the water for blanching the beef came to a boil. Lin Xu skimmed off the foam with a spoon and added a bowl of cold water to the pot. Such a shock of hot and cold caused some foam to float out of the meat again.
When it is almost boiling, beat off the foam again, then continue to add cold water and continue skimming off the foam.
The beef floss for Dundun cannot be seasoned, so it is necessary to repeatedly pour cold water on it to get out the blood foam and odor in the meat. This way, the floss will not have any odor.
When the water in the pot turned into clear water, Lin Xu added some celery and carrots to the pot and used vegetables to remove the odor of the meat.
Zhuang Yizhou smiled and said:
"The standard of Dundun's food is much higher than that of human food."
Lin Xu covered the pot and continued playing with the chicken breast:
"It can't eat seasonings, it can only be operated like this."
After cleaning up, he cleaned the chicken breasts, blanched them in water, and simmered them in water over low heat.
Twenty minutes later, the pork tenderloin was cooked. After turning off the heat, Lin Xu soaked it for a while to make the meat more flavorful.
While the meat was soaking, he took out the beef and chicken breasts and handed them to Shen Jiayue who was doing nothing, and asked her to wash her hands and start tearing the meat strips.
"Tear along the grain, the thinner the better."
Shen Jiayue took it and said:
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
She washed her hands carefully, sat at the stone table at the door of the kitchen, and began to tear strips of meat. Dundun squatted on the stone bench next to her, waiting obediently to eat the meat.
"Ha, baby, do you want to eat? Come on, mommy will feed you one."
Shen Jiayue tore off a piece of meat and fed it to Dundun. The little guy immediately opened his mouth and ate it.
Although it is the same meat as usual, because the method is slightly different, the little guy eats it with gusto. He even washes his face with his paws after eating, which is very hygienic.
While I was busy, Zeng Xiaoqi and Chen Yuanyuan came.
The wedding process has been completed. Chen Yan and Ren Jie returned to their new house in the city, planning to show their relatives the new house.
"What is this doing?"
When Zeng Xiaoqi saw Shen Jiayue tearing meat strips, she immediately washed her hands and started to help.
"Make some meat floss for Dundun, he hasn't eaten it yet."
Chen Yuanyuan on the side said:
"I haven't liked eating meat floss since I was a child. It tastes like cotton when chewed. It feels weird in my mouth and I'm not used to it... My brother, on the other hand, liked to put some meat floss in porridge when he was a child. Grandma said it was the way nomads eat it."
It is said that when the Mongolian cavalry galloped around the world, their military rations were meat floss. When they were hungry, they put some into a water bag, and then hung the water bag on the horse's back. The meat floss absorbed water, and coupled with the bumps on the horse's back, it quickly turned into porridge.
.
Each of them had two horses. When the horses were tired, they would change horses. When the men were tired, they would drink meat floss porridge. This gave them powerful maneuverability, and in this way they almost flattened the entire Eurasian continent.
Shen Jiayue said while tearing the meat strips:
"I really like to eat it. I couldn't afford it when I was a kid. When I grew up, I ate it often. However, some meat floss tastes greasy and doesn't taste as good as when I was a kid."
In the modern way of making meat floss, oil is usually added, which is easier.
But the traditional method is to bake it in a pot without adding a drop of oil. In this way, the baked pork floss is fluffy and crispy, and it feels like it melts in your mouth.
Not long after, Lin Xu took out the soaked pork tenderloin and called a group of chefs over to help tear it apart.
The amount of pork tenderloin is relatively large. After all, it will be used for cooking tomorrow. In addition, it is specially made for Shen Jiayue, so there is almost a basket of meat.
These cooked and soaked pork tenderloins are red in color and exude a rich aroma.
With more people and greater strength, it was quickly torn into thin strips of meat.
Lin Xu put these meat strips in bamboo baskets and placed them in a ventilated and cool place outdoors to dry. When the temperature dropped, he put all the meat strips into large plastic bags.
He placed the plastic bag on the chopping board and slowly rolled it with a rolling pin. The strips of meat quickly spread out one by one, forming clusters of fiber bundles.
These are the prototypes of meat floss.
In fact, you can also beat it with a wooden stick after letting it dry more, so that the meat fibers will be more fluffy.
But it's easy to slap the meat everywhere. Relatively speaking, it's safer not to use a rolling device to crush it through a plastic bag, at least you don't have to pick up the scattered meat strips everywhere.
Pour the loose meat strips out of the bag and shake them a few more times with your hands to make the meat strips as fluffy as possible.
Then find a clean stainless steel pot, wash it and dry the water stains inside, then put it on the stove over medium-low heat, and put the floss in the pot before it heats up.
The volume of the fluffy meat floss will expand many times, so you can't do too much at one time, leaving room for the meat fibers to fluff up.

Use a bamboo spatula to slowly stir in the pot to heat the floss evenly.
Soon, there will be a sizzling sound in the pot. This is the moisture inside the pork floss being roasted. Don’t worry about it and continue to stir-fry over medium-low heat.
Wait until the weight of the meat floss is reduced, and it feels like turning cotton when you turn it. At the same time, the meat floss is as fluffy as bounced cotton, which means that the heat is almost done and it is ready to be cooked.
Modern chefs like to put some sesame seeds in at this time, but this is actually wrong.
Because the delicious meat floss is as fluffy as clouds and melts in your mouth. If you add sesame seeds, not only will the melt-in-your-mouth effect be lost, but the fluffiness will also be destroyed by the sesame seeds.
Lin Xu took out the cooked meat floss and continued to make the next pot.
Shen Jiayue came to the kitchen, quietly pinched a little and put it into her mouth, her eyes suddenly widened:
"Wow, how come the meat floss you made doesn't feel greasy? It's the same...it tastes so good. I feel like the meat floss I've eaten since I was a kid is all fake."
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"The meat floss used in cake shops is usually fried. It is baked, so the texture is naturally different."
Shen Jiayue felt that it was not enough to eat, so she filled a small basin and brought it out for everyone to taste.
Dundun originally thought it was for herself, but when she saw several aunts eating it, she was so anxious that they were standing around.
"Don't be in a hurry, I'll make the next pot for you."
Shen Jiayue rubbed the little guy's head and waved to Xiaobai in the distance:
"Xiaobai, come here and eat meat."
However, the little pony, which had finally had a good time, was not interested in the food and walked briskly to find the second prince.
The hatred of seizing a wife is irreconcilable. Now that he has come out of the stable today, he must give that South American slut some color to see whose territory this is.
Soon, the thick meat floss was made.
Shen Jiayue put it on a disposable plate and brought it in front of it. The little guy lowered his head, smelled it, and licked it with his tongue, his eyes full of surprise.
I probably never thought these fluffy things could be eaten and so delicious.
"What do you eat to make you so happy?"
While everyone was eating, Qi Siming rode his Ducati to the door of the kitchen, took off his helmet, and was a little curious when he saw several ladies and Dundun eating without caring about their appearance.
He turned off the motorcycle, got off the car, and unloaded a large backpack he was carrying. These were the clothes he bought for Zeng Xiaoqi's parents, and he also bought two new mobile phones.
When I came here last time, I saw that the screen of my father-in-law's mobile phone was broken. I originally wanted to repair it, but this old phone had no repair value, so I just bought two.
Zeng Xiaoqi said:
"I just made some meat floss and we are tasting it...what did you get?"
"I brought something for my parents-in-law. Where is our parents' dormitory? I will send it directly there."
"I'll take you there and take a look at what you bought. Don't think about secretly buying me away without saying a word. My family doesn't want to sell their daughter."
She was afraid that Qi Siming would buy something expensive, so she got vaccinated in advance.
Qi Siming laughed:
"Even if you buy, you have to clearly mark the price. It's clear that the matchmaker is marrying you. How can you be so confused?"
The young couple walked towards the staff dormitory area chatting and laughing. When no one was paying attention in front of them, they quietly held hands. Their sneaky look made Chen Yuanyuan curl her lips:
"It's like having an affair, it's really childish."
In the kitchen, Lin Xu prepared all the meat floss, then beat a few eggs, preparing to make the egg floss that Shen Jiayue had promised, so that she could experience the diversity of pine vegetables.
Beat the eggs, add a little salt and a small spoonful of rice wine, and stir evenly.
Then heat the oil in the pot. When the oil temperature is 60% hot, hold the egg bowl in one hand and stir the pot with a spoon in the other to make the oil in the pot form a vortex.
At this time, slowly pour the eggs into the pot in a silk shape.
Soon, these egg shreds floated on the surface of the oil pan. Lin Xu took them out with a colander, placed them on a large colander aside to control the oil, and continued frying.
This aspect is different from Yangzhou fried rice.
The shredded eggs used in Yangzhou fried rice are usually made in one pot, which causes the egg shreds to be fried for a long time, which makes it taste a little stringy.
The egg pine basically floats out of the pot, so that the egg tastes crisper.
In the past, when chefs made egg floss, they usually used the kind of bamboo broom used to clean pots. They found a new and unused one, cleaned it, and then shook the water dry. Then they held the egg liquid in one hand and the bamboo broom in the other.
Slowly pour the liquid on the bamboo broom, and the egg liquid will flow into the pot along the thin bamboo strips, forming filaments.
Compared with holding a bowl and pouring directly into the pot, this efficiency will be much improved, and the resulting egg fluffy will be more fluffy.
But I rarely do this now, and I basically use a colander.
Lin Xu found a colander with a small eye and planned to try it. He first stirred and rotated the hot oil in the pot, then placed the colander on top of the oil pot, poured some egg liquid into it, and then rotated it quickly to make the egg liquid as thick as possible.
Like silk threads falling into the oil pan.
Soon, the egg liquid fluffed up into a cloud under the influence of hot oil.
Use a large colander to scoop it out, carefully squeeze out the fat inside, and then shake it twice with the colander to make the thin eggs fluffy again.
When shaking, sprinkle some fine sugar into it, then put it on the plate, and a sweet and delicious egg floss is completed.
Lin Xu took it outside and waved it in front of Shen Jiayue:
"This is egg pine, try it."
"Wow, it looks so beautiful."
Shen Jiayue was not polite, she took a bite with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth. The egg was fluffy and dry, with a lot of white sugar on it, making it taste crisp and sweet.
"Wow, it's delicious. Sister Yuanyuan, please try it quickly. It's super delicious."
At this moment, Zeng Xiaoqi and Qi Siming also walked over from the dormitory. Looking at their expressions, it was clear that Qi Siming's plan to give away mobile phones was ruined.
Zeng Xiaoqi held his arm and said:
"I'm very touched that you care about my parents, but forget about valuable things like mobile phones. Even if I accept it, my parents won't accept it. They come to the capital to work and earn money, not to beg."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Although the mobile phone has been accepted, Zeng Xiaoqi has already transferred the money for the mobile phone to Qi Siming.
You can honor your parents-in-law as much as you want after you get married, but after all, you’re not married yet, so you can’t collect valuables.
Qi Siming smiled bitterly and said:
"You really think too much. Isn't it normal for me to give you a mobile phone? I see that many people go to their parents-in-law's house for the first time and get two boxes of Moutai and ten pieces of Chinese. Shouldn't you accept it with peace of mind?"
"I can't feel at ease. Your money didn't come from the strong wind. Why are you so lavish?"
These words made Qi Siming very emotional:
"When I have time later, I have to go to my hometown to repair the tombs of my ancestors..."
"Why repair the grave?"
"Thank you for blessing me with finding such a good girlfriend. Being able to be with you feels like smoke coming out of ancestral graves... No, it's like ancestral graves have turned into brick kilns."
Zeng Xiaoqi couldn’t help but be happy:
"How can you say that about your ancestors? Watch out for them lining up to hit you with walking sticks at night."
While the couple was talking, Qi Siming received a message from Chen Yan:
"Master Qi, the stove for cooking noodles has arrived. It is covered with a red cloth. Please help me put it next to the stage. I will give the groom a surprise tomorrow."
Seeing this news, Qi Siming said:
"I have to go to the wedding venue and participate in the decoration."
Not long after, Lin Xu also walked out of the kitchen. Ren Jie sent a message that the pancake oven had arrived and asked him to take it. He also asked him repeatedly not to let anyone see it.
He and Qi Siming arrived at the wedding venue one after another and saw two large wardrobe-like objects placed on both sides of the stage. They were all covered with red cloth and looked quite symmetrical.
At this moment, Cai Sen was chatting with the person in charge of the wedding company about the arrangement of flower baskets around him. When he saw these two things wrapped in red cloth, he asked curiously:
"What the hell is this? It was sent here suddenly. I have attended so many weddings and have never seen it before."
Lin Xu said vaguely:
"It's a surprise prop. It's very sophisticated inside. Don't let anyone touch it."
"Don't worry, as long as there are no naughty children, no one will touch them."
There are naughty children, such as Dundun, Xiaobai, the Second Prince, etc., but small animals have a natural resistance to the color red and will not deliberately come to join in the fun.
Qi Siming, who was walking in front, was racking his brains just now to think of how to deal with it, but Lin Xu didn't expect Lin Xu to say it directly.
Does Boss Lin know about it?
That's good, at least someone can share the secret.
Lin Xu was a little surprised when he saw these two stoves. My brother-in-law is really a policeman. He even makes pancakes to make sure everything is perfect, and he even got a spare stove.
It looks pretty good with such symmetry. I hope everything goes well when he makes pancakes tomorrow.
Tomorrow morning, before the wedding begins, Lin Xu will secretly put away the batter, crackers, lettuce, sauce, eggs and other ingredients for making pancakes.
In this way, when Ren Jie pulls off the red cloth, it will create that stunning effect.
While he was thinking about this, Qi Siming was also planning the time to put the dough in tomorrow. He couldn't put it in too early, otherwise the dough would ferment and might become leavened dough.
I have to find an opportunity to put it in and help Mr. Chen.
At the door of the kitchen, Xie Baomin took the wedding cigarette lying next to him and handed it to Lao Huang, but Lao Huang waved his hand and refused:
"Quit it. I won't smoke anymore and drink less alcohol... By the way, wasn't there a big pot of food the night before the wedding? What are we going to eat today? If it tastes good, I'll ask your sister-in-law to bring the kids with her.
”
Xie Baomin put the cigarette on the table next to him:
"Tofu is stewed with sauerkraut and white meat, and there are big bones and other things tonight. It's very rich. If you want to eat, come over."
Just as he was talking, Su Peipei led Xie Yufei and Xie Yuhang over, followed by Dachun and his wife.
It's still some time before dinner, but the group of friends and relatives who are having dinner are already in place.
When Lao Huang saw the battle, he also called his wife and asked her to bring the whole family over. At the same time, he reminded Cui Qingyuan and others on WeChat not to forget to come to Ginkgo Garden for dinner.
"Xubao, do you need to have a dinner tonight?"
Although Shen Jiayue has experienced two wedding banquets, she still knows little about the process and doesn't know how to arrange tonight.
Lin Xu said:
"Usually it's all big pot dishes, but with so many chefs today, just eating big pot dishes is a bit of a waste, so I have to prepare a few dishes for everyone to eat and drink well... By the way, who will be the bridesmaid tomorrow?
?"
"Sister Jing, Sister Yun, Sister Xiaoqi, Sister Yuanyuan, and Sister Xiao Qing who flew over at night... I also wanted to be the bridesmaid, but they were unanimously opposed."
I just have a better figure, fairer skin, and a little longer legs, but they turned me away. Isn’t this world too cruel to beautiful women?
Lin Xu naturally knows the reasons for everyone's opposition.
He smiled and said:
"Even if you are not the bridesmaid, you can still bring Dundun to block the door tomorrow and ask for red envelopes."
Shen Jiayue's eyes lit up:
"Ah, I even forgot to ask for the red envelope."
Dundun next to him licked his paws and shook his tail slightly, his eyes also full of expectation...
