Chapter 782 The reward mission was successfully completed! Shandong big pot cake, rich in flavor and full of taste! [Please subscribe]
"Xiao Xu, come and have a drink with Professor Cui."
In the restaurant, Shen Guofu poured wine and shouted into the kitchen. When he just came here, he said he would not drink in the afternoon, but with Cui Qingyuan there, he decided to have a few drinks even though he didn't drink at first.
Lin Xu was kneading the dough, turned his face and said:
"You two drink first, I'll bake the pot cakes and head over."
Pot cake is a very common pasta in Shandong. It is very simple to make. Roll the dough into a cake shape, put it in a pan or oven, heat it slowly, and bake it until golden brown.
The cooking method is very similar to the northwestern naan, but the difference is that the naan is made from dead dough, while the pot cake is made from leavened dough.
Knead the dough once, roll it into cylindrical strips, and divide the dough into four portions.
Then roll the dough into dough cakes, brush the surface with water, and sprinkle with a layer of white sesame seeds. Then pick up a can and print the bottom of the can on the dough to make circular patterns.
Then pick up the meat needle and poke small holes in the dough.
Pot cakes pay attention to their appearance, so when making them, skillful housewives will use various items such as the mouth of the bowl, the bottom of the bowl, a teapot, chopsticks, forks and other items to print patterns on the cakes.
At the same time, in order to transfer heat and prevent the dough from getting cooked, some holes will be made.
After making one, Lin Xu made the remaining three dough balls into green pot cakes with sesame seeds stuck on the surface and full of patterns.
All the dough pieces are prepared, placed on the chopping board, covered with a layer of cage cloth, and processed for the second time.
Taking advantage of this time, he took out the electric pan, plugged it in and started preheating, then took out the pan, put it on the stove, and started preheating as well.
Finally, preheat the oven.
Now that I am in a hurry to eat, it is too late to bake them one by one.
So bake four of them at the same time to prevent not enough noodles.
In addition, Lin Xu also wanted to test which of the three cooking supplies, pan, electric pancake, oven, can make the most delicious pancake.
Soon, all three types of cooking utensils were preheated, and the dough was ready for the second time.
Lin Xu placed two cake doughs in the baking pan and put them into the oven. Then he lifted one up and put it into the electric baking pan, and the last one was placed in the pan.
After putting everything away and covering the pot, he returned to the restaurant and started eating.
As soon as he sat down, Shen Guofu handed him a glass of wine:
"The bean sprouts are really well mixed, fresh and tender. One bite really makes you feel like you have swallowed the whole nature."
He was originally not very interested in the only vegetarian dish on the table. Who would try a vegetarian vegetable like bean sprouts when there is meat?
But when he saw Cui Qingyuan, his wife and Director Han eating non-stop, he followed the trend and took a chopstick.
Then I was attracted by the fresh and crisp taste of bean sprouts.
Lin Xu took the wine glass and held it in his hand. He first welcomed Professor Cui and Mr. Yan, and then took a small sip.
After drinking it, he picked up the crispy fried bell and took a bite.
There was a "click" and the crispiness of the fried bean skin made his heart tremble.
The crispy texture, coupled with the numbing aroma of pepper and salt, and the strong aroma of the diced meat inside, mix together, it’s really enjoyable.
Yan Lin said:
"This dry-fried ring bell is good, it tastes very good...Why don't Yueyue come over for dinner? Come and try it, Xiaoxu's cooking is really delicious."
Shen Jiayue came over from the kitchen carrying a small bowl of freshly made sweet and spicy sauce:
"Try it quickly. This is the sweet and spicy sauce I made myself. It is the best match for these crispy bells."
Han Shuzhen was a little surprised:
"Did you really do it?"
"Of course, are you surprised?"
Shen Jiayue put down the dipping sauce, sat down next to Lin Xu, tasted the fried bells first, and said with admiration:
"I said this bell is best for sweet and spicy sauce, but I didn't expect it to be like this. Wow, try it, it's super delicious. I can show off a big bowl of this crispy delicacy."
Yan Lin said:
"The fried pork skin is also delicious. I used to eat the pork belly, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious fried directly."
When Shen Jiayue heard this, she couldn't help but picked up a piece of fried brown pig skin and dipped it in the sweet and spicy sauce, then put it into her mouth. After tasting it, she couldn't help but sigh:
"Wow, this pig skin feels more delicious than fried bean skin. I like it very much... No, I have to take a photo and poison it for everyone so that they can feel it too."
When she said "I like it very much", the system prompt sounded in Lin Xu's mind:
"The host has made two kinds of delicacies, and has been recognized by his lover. He has completed the reward task [making a bell] and will be rewarded with a draw for perfect Zhejiang cuisine. Do you want to draw the draw immediately?"
It was finally completed... Lin Xu breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the reward task is very simple, just pet the good baby, but before the task is completed, you cannot take it lightly.
At this moment, Dundun was eating meat next to him, but Lin Xu didn't bother him. He planned to draw the lottery after the meal.
Shen Jiayue tasted the dishes cooked by Lin Xu, then took the bowl, opened the lid of the ceramic basin, and started serving the meat slice soup to everyone.
Normally, you should put it into bowls right after it comes out of the pot, but today we have guests, so we put it into basins first, and then put it into bowls for everyone after the meal is served.
With such a delay, some of the umami flavor will be lost.
"Mr. Yan, try the Fuding pork slices I made."
Shen Jiayue filled a bowl and gave it to Yan Lin first, and then filled another bowl for everyone.
Yan Lin held the bowl and smelled it:
"It's so fresh. It reminds me of the bacon wontons from my hometown in Shanghai."
Cui Qingyuan said:
"The wontons stuffed with fresh meat are no longer good. The meat wontons Yueyue made two days ago are really delicious."
"Really? It's a pity that I wasn't late. What a pity."
Yan Lin sighed with regret, so what if she has a net worth of over 10 billion, she still has to miss out on a lot of delicious food. Unfortunately, her business was too busy in the first half of the year, otherwise she really wanted to live in the capital for a few months and have a good time eating at Linji.

Lin Xu said:
"Mr. Yan wants to eat well, so I'll make the meat swallows again tomorrow. Although it's troublesome to do it by hand, it's very efficient and tastes good with the help of modern equipment."
Yan Lin became interested as soon as she heard this:
"Okay, it just so happens that I have been in the capital these days. If you want to do something, you have to tell me."
Lin Xu tasted the fried pork skin. It is indeed the most essential part of the pork. It is simply fried and tastes great.
This method of roasting first and then frying can make the texture of the pig skin loose and porous, making it naturally crispy, crispy and delicious.
After taking two bites, he picked up Shen Jiayue's Fuding pork slices and tasted them. The meat was very smooth, tender and delicious, and the rice vinegar and pickled bell peppers inside made the meatballs more sour, spicy and refreshing.
p>
This hot and sour taste is the classic symbol of Fuding pork slices, and it is also the favorite taste of local people.
As for seaweed and dried shrimps, they are secondary.
"How about Xubao?"
When Shen Jiayue saw Lin Xu tasting it, she immediately came over like a child waiting for praise.
Of course, there is nothing to say about the taste. After all, Lin Xu is responsible for the seasoning part of this delicacy, and Shen Jiayue is only responsible for the contribution part.
"It's very delicious. Even if you go to Fuding, you may not be able to eat such delicious Fuding meat slices. I will have to have another bowl later."
Lin Xu naturally did not hesitate to praise her. After all, it is a husband's duty to make his wife happy.
And the good baby is so lovable, it’s only natural to praise him a few times.
Shen Jiayue said happily when she heard this:
"Haha, one day, I will officially become the executive chef of Linji Food."
Even Xubao praised my cooking, so it’s not that far away from the position of head chef.
Alas, I can achieve such achievements just by moving my hands casually. People with talents can do whatever they want. I finally understand the troubles of geniuses.
Shen Jiayue didn't care about eating anymore. She adjusted her bowl of Fuding pork slices, flipped the seaweed on top, took a photo with her phone, and sent it to the good sisters group.
"I just tried my hand at it and made some Fuding pork slices. I want to show my craving for it on the public screen!"
Xiao Qing sent a bunch of exclamation points:
"I was hit hard just after I left the airport in my hometown... Boss lady, did you really do this?"
In my impression, the landlady has always been a kitchen novice who doesn’t know how to distinguish between grains and grains. I didn’t expect that she could actually make Fuding pork slices.
Reminiscent of the fact that she also made pork swallows and swallows before, is this really something a novice can do?
Just after she sent the message, Geng Lele also bubbled up:
"Isn't it? Sister Yue can even make this? Looking at the photo, she looks like she is at home. Wait, I will be there soon to test the taste for you sisters."
Chen Yan posted a photo of the airplane meal:
"We're about to land, so I made a reservation at a yak meat restaurant next to Qinghai Lake. I don't know how it tastes, but I hope it can taste Fuding meat slices."
Stinky cousin, you cook delicious food and post it in a group chat, why can’t you give me, the bride, some face?
Lin Xu ate a few bites of food, drank a glass of wine, got up, went to the kitchen, and opened the lid of the pan. The pot cakes inside had obviously risen a lot. The pot cakes that were originally more than one centimeter were now almost three centimeters.
The moment the pot lid is opened, the aroma of noodles wafts out.
This aroma is somewhat irresistible to people who like to eat pasta.
Putting the pot lid aside, Lin Xu took the bamboo spatula and carefully turned the pot cake over.
Due to the heat, the bottom has been browned to a golden color, and there is even a layer of burnt crust, which makes people want to take a bite just by looking at it.
But you can’t eat it yet, you have to cover the pot and continue cooking.
Then Lin Xu looked at the pancake in the electric baking pan. It was heated on both sides, so after opening the pan, the aroma of the dough was even stronger, even with the aroma of sesame.
A layer of light yellow burnt shell has been baked on the front of the pot cake, and the white sesame seeds have also been roasted and fragrant, and the sesame seeds look shiny.
Lin Xu carefully turned it over. The bottom had more heat, so the color of the coke shell was darker.
However, because it is heated on both sides, the pancakes do not rise completely. Therefore, compared to the method of steaming under a pan, the pancakes made with an electric pan have a mediocre rise effect.
From this point of view, the electric baking pan is not as good as the frying pan.
However, electric baking pans are convenient, can be timed, and can even be heated on both sides, which are features that frying pans do not have.
Generally speaking, both methods have their own pros and cons. For experts like Lin Xu, the pan is indeed easy to use, but most people still prefer to use the convenient and trouble-free electric baking pan.
As for the oven, you don’t need to turn it over, you can bake it until it comes out of the oven.
Lin Xu returned to the dining table and continued eating.
Yan Lin drank some red wine with Han Shuzhen and chatted casually about her experience in fitness and beauty. She also seriously asked Han Shuzhen for her views on medical beauty.
Han Shuzhen said:
"As a doctor, I definitely recommend not to go under the knife easily, especially on the face. Any surgery is risky, especially cosmetic surgery. Look at those celebrities who failed to have plastic surgery. Their faces look like plastic. They look like plastic surgery.
Scary."
If you rely on your face for a living, you can do some minor plastic surgery. Prolonging your beauty is actually extending the period of making money.
But if you don’t rely on this to make a living, forget it, it’s not necessary.
Yan Lin actually has the same view, but she has been single in the past, and now she has a lover, and she often lives apart in two places. It is normal to occasionally worry about gains and losses.
The more you care about someone, the more you worry about losing it, and billionaires are no exception.
Cui Qingyuan pulled Yan Lin's hand:
"Okay, okay, you are the most beautiful in my mind, but I have liked you since I was a child, not because you are beautiful, but because you have a temperament that others don't have."
As a genius professor with an incredible IQ, it is natural that he is easy to talk about love.
He picked up a chopstick from the meat pot and stewed the soft bell roll again:
"This stew is very delicious. Try it. It's much better than in a hot pot restaurant. Xiaoxu's current cooking skills include delicacies from all over the world. It's really enviable."
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"I'm just trying to draw a gourd, I'm not that powerful."
After drinking another glass of wine, he got up and returned to the kitchen.
At this time, the pot cake in the pan has been completely cooked, with yellow burnt shells on both sides and an attractive aroma.
Lin Xu took it out of the pan and put it on a tray, cut it into teeth with a kitchen knife, and asked Shen Jiayue to carry it to the restaurant for everyone to taste.
Then he took out the pancakes from the electric baking pan and the oven.
The electric baking pan is lighter in color and the coke shell is thinner. It feels like the firepower is not as high, but this is the advantage of the electric baking pan - no burnt.
Many people make delicacies such as pancakes, but because they cannot control the firepower, the pancakes turn into carbon cakes.
The emergence of electric pancakes allows people with average cooking skills to taste pancakes that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This is the change brought about by technology.
"Hey, why is this oven made so bulging?"
Shen Jiayue put a piece of pot cake on a napkin and came to the kitchen while eating. She wanted to see what other pot cakes were like, but she was surprised when she saw the ones baked in the oven.
Because the bottom of the pot cake made in the oven is flat, but the top is slightly bulging, it looks like making Leba bread.
Lin Xu said:
"The dough cannot expand downwards, but can only rise upwards, which creates this effect."
Pancakes made in the oven are the driest and have the least moisture, so they are more suitable for cooking after cooling and making delicacies such as fried buns.
Carrying it to the kitchen, Yan Lin said to Lin Xu:
"This noodle pancake is so delicious and full of flavor. As a Shanghainese, I can actually eat it with gusto."
The pot cake has a burnt shell on the outside and a soft dough core on the inside. It is comfortable and enjoyable to eat. The loose structure inside the pot cake can also absorb a lot of soup when soaked in vegetable soup. It tastes delicious.
After Shen Guofu finished eating the Fuding pork slices in the bowl, he filled a bowl of braised vermicelli with braised pork, then broke open the pot cakes and soaked them in. It was so satisfying to eat the vegetables and cakes together.
Yan Lin imitated his way of soaking and eating, and said with some sigh:
"Now I understand why people in the Northwest like to eat steamed buns so much. Eating them soaked in steamed buns is really enjoyable."
While everyone was eating, Geng Lele came over to kill him.
As soon as he entered the door, he said noisily:
"Sister Yue, Sister Yan secretly sent me a message and asked me to deliberately say it was unpleasant in the group later. Do you think I should send it or not?"
Tsk, Yan Bao actually played this trick. Don’t you know that Lele and I are in the same group?
Shen Jiayue led Geng Lele towards the kitchen:
"Then let's go, let's eat first. I'm going to eat pot cake today, it's so delicious."
Geng Lele didn't know that Yan Lin and Cui Qingyuan were here, so when he heard about eating pot cakes, he said:
"Fortunately, my godfather and godmother are not here, otherwise I would say that the northerners' eating habits are barbaric... Eh? Why does this beauty look so much like my godmother?"
Geng Lele walked through the porch and came to the restaurant. He immediately changed his words and began to praise Yan Lin's beauty. Then he winked at Shen Jiayue. If he had known that his godfather and godmother were here, he would have dragged Aunt Lucy along.
Alas, my IQ has been blinded by delicious food!
Cui Qingyuan looked at Geng Lele with a smile and asked:
"Didn't your parents come home for the holidays? Why didn't you have a reunion dinner at home?"
Geng Lele sat down, took a bite of the pot cake:
"Don't mention it. Today we all know that my parents came back from the institute, and relatives and so on came home in an endless stream. They wanted to support their connections, but I was too lazy to support them, so I sneaked out."
When Cui Qingyuan heard this, he said to Yan Lin:
"Let's go to Lele's house after dinner to say hello and help them ward off the people who want to help them."
Yan Lin naturally would not refuse such a thing:
"Okay, it's time for digestion."
The couple's words made Geng Lele feel relieved. Just when he thought the matter was over, Cui Qingyuan suddenly said:
"Before it gets dark tomorrow, write me an AI-related popular science article in American English. It should have content and be meaningful at the same time."
Needless to say, this is the punishment for talking nonsense just now.
Geng Lele asked curiously:
"Can I use AI to generate it?"
"What do you think?"
Geng Lele immediately stopped asking, because if he continued to ask, he would probably add a French article.
Seeing such a godfather who is good at avenging personal vengeance makes people want to cry without tears!
Lin Xu ate a piece of pot cake, a bowl of Fuding pork slices and other dishes, plus two glasses of wine, and he was full in no time.
Not long after, Cui Qingyuan and his wife finished eating and drinking, and took Geng Lele to visit Geng's house.
Before leaving, Lin Xu packed a big pot cake in a bag and handed it to Geng Lele:
"Send it to your grandpa so he can have a taste."
"Then let me thank you on behalf of the old man. He really likes this kind of big pot cake. Every time someone goes to LY, he will specially ask someone to bring one...Brother Xu, can you make that kind of extra-large pot cake?"
"Yes!"
There is a kind of super large pot cake in the LY area of Shandong Province. The heaviest one weighs nearly thirty kilograms. It not only looks impressive, but also tastes very enjoyable.
Lin Xu didn't expect that Geng Lishan actually liked this thing. When he is not busy, he will make a few to make this old friend happy.
After sending the family of three away, they returned to the living room. Lin Xu picked up Dundun, who had eaten and drank enough, and started to draw a lottery.
Soon, the system prompt sounded in my mind:
"Congratulations to the host for winning a perfect branch of Zhejiang cuisine - Ningbo cuisine!"
