"Wolfberry is of no use. It's okay to practice more squats."
Lin Xu patted Lao Huang's shoulder sympathetically. Now that his senior brother and father-in-law have begun to exercise, their physical condition has obviously improved a lot.
But because Lao Huang was busy, he didn’t do much physical exercise. Apart from using the ketogenic weight loss method to consume some fat, he didn’t do anything else beneficial to the body.
"Do squats work?"
There was a strong desire for knowledge on Lao Huang's face. If he said squats were good for the body, he wouldn't care at all. But if you want to make your own ladies obey, then there's no need to say it. You must practice.<
/p>
If you don't show your strength, please don't think you are a sick cat.
Lin Xu recommended several software for him to exercise:
"Put it on your mobile phone and do some research when it's okay, or ask someone to make a training plan. It should be effective in a month. You can try it."
"Okay, then I will work hard for thirty days and be twenty again!"
Tsk, this goal is ambitious enough. Lin Xu could only silently cheer for him in his heart.
After chatting, Lin Xu looked at the lotus root strips sent by Lao Huang. The quality was very good. With a discerning eye, almost all of them were excellent or perfect.
When it comes to other ingredients, Lin Xu will basically ask for perfection, but lotus root strips are a specialty of Hubei after all. They are relatively rare in the north. It is normal for the quality to drop slightly after such a long-distance transportation. When making it later, use dim sum to improve the quality.
Just zip it up.
After checking the lotus root belt, Lin Xu looked at Niu Chuang, who was in charge of the morning shift today, and asked:
"What do you want to eat in the morning?"
"Steamed barbecued pork buns and glutinous rice siomai, as well as vegetable and lean meat porridge, fried mackerel dumplings, and Shanghai-style scallion pancakes."
Oops, today’s breakfast is rich enough.
But we can’t have breakfast right now, we have to prepare Dundun’s meal first.
Lin Xu came to the kitchen, took a piece of chicken breast, cut it into dices, mixed it with egg yolk, put it in the steamer and steamed it for a few minutes, took it out, stirred it, and put it on Dundun's plate.
p>
When it was almost drying, I brought it downstairs. Dundun, who was snoring, immediately stood up and started to cook.
After it finished eating, Lin Xu put away the plate and then went upstairs to prepare breakfast.
Shen Jiayue had already eaten at this moment. She took a beautiful barbecued pork bun and ate it:
"Xubao, come and try it. The barbecued pork buns made by Master Niu are very delicious. The outside is juicy and the filling inside is fresh and fragrant. It's so delicious."
Lin Xu filled a bowl of vegetable and lean meat porridge and brought it over like a buffet, including a few fried dumplings, a piece of scallion pancake, two glutinous rice shaomai and a barbecued pork bun with three petals.
Today’s breakfast is almost all carbohydrates, which is very suitable for those who work hard.
Sitting down, Lin Xu tore into a piece of barbecued pork bun and tasted it. It tasted really good. The dough was very soft. When chewing, the fermented dough flavor filled your mouth. It was delicious even without fillings.
As for the filling, it is a common method of preparing barbecued pork with sugar. It has a rich aroma and heavy sweetness, coupled with the flavor of sauce. This salty-sweet flavor is mixed with the flavor of sauce, and goes well with the soft dough.
, it has become a classic delicacy that people in Guangzhou will never get tired of eating for decades.
"I eat three hundred barbecued pork buns a day, and I will continue to be a Lingnan native...Xubao, how many barbecued pork buns do you think I can eat at most?"
After Shen Jiayue finished one barbecued pork bun, she felt it was not enough, so she picked up another one and ate it in big gulps.
Lin Xu wiped the sauce from the corner of her mouth with a paper towel and said:
"As long as you are full, there is no need to overeat. If you like it, I will cook it for you myself in the future."
"Okay, okay, thank you Xubao!"
Shen Jiayue happily took two bites of the barbecued pork buns, took a mouthful of the vegetable and lean meat porridge with a spoon, and then started a video call with Chen Meijuan.
"Mom, have you eaten? The barbecued pork buns steamed in the store today are delicious."
Shen Jiayue took the barbecued pork bun in her hand and showed it to the camera.
"I'm eating the vermicelli buns with wild vegetable sauce that your uncle steamed. Have a look. Do you have an appetite?"
Shen Jiayue saw steamed buns appearing on the screen, along with ruddy fillings and vermicelli soaked in grease. She knew they were delicious just by looking at the translucent appearance.
"Wow, it looks great. When we go back, can uncle steam it again for us to try?"
Chen Meijuan turned her phone around, and Shi Wenming at the door of the kitchen appeared in the camera. He was also eating steamed buns at the moment. Hearing Shen Jiayue's words, he said with a smile:
"No problem, when you come, I will make whatever you want to eat."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law often have video calls, usually during meal time, because Longqishan Scenic Area has entered the comprehensive construction stage. After all, so much additional investment has been made, and the construction speed is very fast. On the mountain on the other side of the reservoir, a road has been built specifically to transport building materials to the mountain.
The slideway and a small pavilion were built on the top of the mountain.
In addition, the cableway connecting Longshou Peak and the other side of the reservoir has also passed the demonstration, and the construction team has started construction on a small scale.
As for the east gate and west gate of the scenic area, there are no tourists, and secondly, large machinery can be used, which is faster than imagined.
When this round of construction is completed, Longqishan Scenic Area will reach the 5A standard.
Not only is the business in the scenic area booming, but B&Bs are also popping up in several villages outside the scenic area. There are also chain B&Bs such as Huazhu coming to test the waters. It is obvious that they are optimistic about the future of Longqishan.<
/p>
There are constant Longqishan travel guides on the Internet. For example, if you walk along the valley, you can see the super-seasonal phenomenon. It is spring outside and summer inside. The vegetation and other things are one season earlier than outside, which makes people feel very novel.
Walking along the horse farm, you can see the pasture where Lin Xu was driving in the snow. At this time, the grass is thigh-deep. In the hinterland of the Central Plains, one can feel the majesty of the wind-blown grass and low cattle and sheep.<
/p>
As for those hiking experts, we have summarized the five major hiking routes in Longqi Mountain. There are routes suitable for watching the sunrise, there are routes suitable for watching the sunset, and there are also routes suitable for camping. It is very comprehensive.
"Yueyue, you can go on eating. We are going to be busy. Let's do the video later."
Chen Meijuan got busy after finishing her steamed buns. The scenic spot is now popular every day. The newly built hotel originally thought there would be no business, but she didn't expect it to be full every day. The cliff hotel with better views needs to be booked a week in advance, not to mention.
.
Shen Jiayue waved to the camera:
"Okay Mom, please pay attention to your health and don't work too hard."
After the video call ended, Shen Jiayue had almost eaten, but she hadn't tasted the scallion pancake yet. She raised her hand and took the piece from Lin Xu's plate and took a bite, her eyes full of surprise:
"Wow, it's crispy and fragrant. It's very similar to the scallion pancakes we used to queue up to buy in Shanghai."
Lin Xu tasted the fried mackerel dumplings and said:
"This kind of pan-fried scallion pancakes, as long as you are willing to add the ingredients, the taste is generally not much different... You can try the pan-fried mackerel dumplings, they are also delicious, super delicious."
When Shen Jiayue heard this, she took another pan-fried mackerel dumpling on Lin Xu's plate in her hand, put it into her mouth very unladylikely and took a bite. She suddenly felt that she shouldn't eat the barbecued pork buns all the time, she should try them all.
Lin Xu finished the dumplings and picked up the glutinous rice and shaomai.
This kind of siomai is not made of dough, but uses glutinous rice as the outer layer and the meat filling is wrapped inside.
He took a bite, and it tasted very fragrant. The glutinous rice absorbed the meat juice and was full of meat flavor. The meat filling inside tasted quite delicious. Minced water chestnuts were added to the meat filling, which made it crunchy and enjoyable.
When they were about to finish eating, Chen Yuanyuan and Zeng Xiaoqi came. When they saw today's breakfast, they immediately raised their phones and sent it to Chen Yan and Shu Yun who were on vacation today.
Xiao Qing, who was far away in Shanghai, was affected again.
"For the sake of all of us being sisters, I advise you to be kind!"
Xiao Qing made an emoticon saying "Whoever puts poison again will automatically shrink her breasts" and posted it in the group, and the whole group was immediately purified.
Although we are all highly educated young people, and some of them have master's degrees, if you want to curse your figure, everyone will obey and do not dare to go beyond it.
The power of metaphysics is so powerful.
After Dou Wenjing came to the store, Lin Xu told the teacher's wife about buying shares, and she immediately became excited when she heard it:
"Six thousand or seven thousand square meters of shops? Oh, that's great. The larger the business area, the higher the degree of freedom in store decoration styles. I really hope it can be vacated quickly so that we can start construction immediately."
Dou Wenjing did not show any displeasure about the reduction of shares.
After all, the company's market value is high, and there are such large shops. Even if we don't open a hotel and rent them out, the annual rent will be astronomical.
In addition, the addition of Xie Baomin can further ensure the quality of the dishes.
She waited for the shares to be transferred, and then drafted an entrustment agreement, allowing Xie Baomin to serve as the company's food auditor, who could inspect the quality of all its meals at any time. Once problems were caught, she would not tolerate them.
After breakfast, Dou Wenjing went to pick up the car first, and then transferred the ownership of the car to Chen Yuanyuan. After these things were settled, Wang Zhiqiang, the vice president, finally had his own car.
Lin Xu didn't have any special arrangements today. Originally, he was going to make lotus root belts, but Zhu Yong was more familiar with this stuff, so he handed over the job of making new ones to this Hubei guy.
Lin Xu drove to the back kitchen of Yanjing Hotel to check around, then went to Diaoyutai and got his appointment letter.
From today on, he is the director of the Diaoyutai Catering Department, the same level as Yanjing Hotel.
As a part-time employee, it was quite surprising to be able to become a director. Lin Xu even felt Su Qinpei’s heroic sense of being a member of the Six Kingdoms.
In fact, as long as he is willing, many hotels are willing to give Lin Xu the title of director.
But this thing loses its value as soon as it gets too much, and the Diaoyutai and Yanjing Hotels are prefixed with the prefix "国", so other hotels are somewhat less interesting, so don't lower your standards.
In the following days, he went to work leisurely and leisurely, occasionally drove out for a walk, and even went to see the shops in the car rental center with Shen Jiayue. It was indeed very big.
Once all the equipment and vehicles inside have been moved, the renovation can begin.
Early on the weekend morning, Lin Xu cooked a pot of millet porridge, fried the skin and blood sausage, and mixed some fried dough sticks with the lettuce grown upstairs.
Shen Guofu and his wife came to stay last night, so today we specially used vegetables grown at home upstairs to let the father-in-law and mother-in-law taste whether there is any difference between the vegetables grown at home and those bought in the market.
The meal is ready and the Shen family of three has finished exercising.
After Lao Shen jumped rope, he took the initiative to do a plank support, and his face was covered with sweat.
As soon as he saw the food on the table, he immediately went to the bathroom to wash his face. After drying it, he couldn't wait to come to the table and took the initiative to serve the rice with a spoon.
Unfortunately, I have been eating fat-reducing meals every day recently. There is not enough oil and water, and I can't eat enough carbohydrates. I didn't expect that my son-in-law fried skin dregs and blood sausage today. This is really in line with Lao Shen's wishes.
When everyone sat down, Dundun, who had been playing football for a while, squatted in front of his small dining table and ate Lin Xu's steamed beef seriously.
"These are high in fat and carbohydrates. Old Shen, please eat less."
Han Shuzhen confessed, took a taste of the lettuce leaves, and immediately showed a surprised expression on her face:
"Oh, this lettuce is so delicious. It's so fresh. It's much more delicious than the vegetables you buy."
From planting to now, no chemical fertilizers or pesticides have been used, so the growth is relatively slow, but the more this happens, the higher the quality of the vegetables.
Take a bite and you will feel the crispness mixed with the rich fresh flavor, as if you have swallowed the whole nature in one bite.
Han Shuzhen took another bite and became more determined to grow her own vegetables.
Lao Shen pretended to taste it, but he picked up two pieces of fried dough sticks with his chopsticks. The crispy texture and rich aroma made him almost cry.
How many days have passed before the sense of taste returns again.
In fact, fat-reducing meals are not unpalatable, especially after mastering the vegetarian broth. The dishes you make are not only delicious, but they have nothing to do with being unpalatable.
But Lao Shen felt unhappy because he liked eating high-fat dishes and had preconceived impressions.
Now I can eat delicious food, and I feel full of happiness.
Shen Jiayue looked at the food on the table and asked:
"Except for the cold fried dough sticks, all the other delicacies are from Yinzhou's hometown, right? No wonder my dad eats them non-stop when he sits down. He must be thinking about his relatives in Yinzhou."
Lao Shen suddenly felt like he was bursting with tears. This girl has not been raised in vain. She finally knows how to provide assistance to her father.
But before the assist had any effect, Han Shuzhen interrupted the spellcasting:
"I can't go to Yinzhou recently. There are many tourists in the scenic area and it is noisy. In addition, there is recent construction. Let's not add to the chaos. We will go there after the construction is completed."
Lao Shen opened his mouth. He originally planned to go to Yinzhou to have a few drinks, but it seems that he has no chance for the time being.
He took the browned skin residue and dipped it in the garlic juice, put it into his mouth and ate it happily. If you can't go, then you can't go. As long as you can eat the skin residue fried in lard.
"Mom, Xu Bao will be filming the last state banquet today, and I will also be filming the closing banquet. Should you two take Dundun with you, or should you send it to the store?"
This weekend, neither Han Shuzhen nor Shen Guofu will go to work.
Upon hearing this, the couple said without any hesitation:
"We will take you!"
Such a well-behaved grandson cannot be allowed to work as a child laborer in a store.
Han Shuzhen said:
"My parents are not working today, so why don't we take Dundun to visit relatives? We can also see Wenqing's children and let Dundun play with her little cousin for a while."
"Okay, no problem."
When Lao Shen heard that he was going to his father-in-law's house, he immediately agreed.
It has been a long time since he had a drink with his father-in-law, who chased and beat him back then. He had two drinks today, and the rockery fountain in the Han family courtyard can be turned on, which is just right for Dundun to see.
After the decision was made, Han Shuzhen sent a message to the Han family's [Love each other as a family] group:
"Lao Shen and I will take Dundun back to her parents' house at noon. If you are not busy, go back and have a meal together."
The eldest sister Han Shufen immediately asked:
"Will Xiaoxu go too?"
"No, he has a shooting assignment today."
After seeing this news, Han Shufen immediately said:
"It's such a boring meal to eat. I'm still busy here."
The chef doesn't go home, but a group of people who don't know how to cook come here. Will this meal be delicious?
Han Shufen backed down.
Just when she was about to make up a reason not to go back, Shen Jiayue said in the group:
"Don't worry about lunch. I'll pack it up from Yanjing Hotel and deliver it to you. I guarantee it will be at the level of a state banquet chef."
Seeing this news, Han Shufen immediately changed the subject:
"As the saying goes, no matter how busy you are, you have to go home often. Today at noon, even if I tried to get my bonus deducted, I still have to go home and see my parents. No one can stop me."
Shi Wenqing posted a face-covering smile emoticon in the group:
"Mom, you are as greedy as Luo Yulin. If you have something to eat, you will cooperate in every way, but if you don't have something to eat, you will make a fuss..."
"Gungungun, how can you talk about your own mother like that? Don't forget to put on a sunhat for my granddaughter when you go out in the morning. The sun is very strong today and it's very hot."
Han Shufen taught her daughter a lesson and then started to care about her granddaughter.
Shi Wenqing agreed, and then Aite Shi Wenshan said:
"Don't forget to go back to grandma's house for dinner at noon. I'll introduce you to a partner then. We have a female doctor at Peking University's Dentistry who recently broke up. I plan to let you take advantage of the opportunity and give it a try."
Shi Wenshan made a sweaty expression:
"It's okay to just let things happen. There's no need to be so active, right?"
"Are you just going along with it? If you keep following along, you will become Ge You. Come quickly at noon. Wen Qing remembers to show us the photos and give us some advice first."
Uncle Han Shuyu made a final decision and planned to personally intervene in the issue of his eldest nephew's divorce.
Shi Wenqing shouted:
"I heard them say that worshiping Dundun is very effective. Brother, please remember to worship Dundun religiously today. No matter whether it works or not, try it first. If it works, I will have a sweet-smelling and soft sister-in-law.
Well."
Shi Wenshan sweated again.
Girl, your use of adjectives is not like a medical doctor.
After the meal, everyone went their separate ways. Lin Xu tidied up and drove to the store with Shen Jiayue, then to the Yanjing Hotel.
Lao Shen and Han Shuzhen went upstairs to take a shower and clean up the house. After finishing everything, they took Dundun to grandma's house to visit relatives.
At the Yanjing Hotel, as soon as Lin Xuda parked the car, he ran into Guo Xinghai.
He was driving a BMW X7, with Guo Jichang and Guo Weidong sitting in the car. This was the main lineup of the Guo family for filming the state banquet. However, today, Guo Weidong and Guo Xinghai had no chance to appear, because the first banquet of the founding of the People's Republic of China will be held by the old chefs.
The curtain call stage.
"Hello Lin Xu."
Guo Xinghai said hello and walked over with a smile on his face.
Although the two were once rivals, they have always been good friends.
Seeing Lin Xu, Guo Xinghai said straight to the point:
"I don't plan to go back to Yangcheng in the future. My father and uncle are so crowded that there is no room for me to perform. I will work hard in the capital from now on. Do you have a job suitable for me here?"
Of course there are jobs. The Chaoyang branch still lacks chefs and head chefs from various departments. If Guo Xinghai is willing to join, he will naturally be welcomed with both hands.
Lin Xu said:
"The Chaoyang branch still needs an experienced executive chef. I wonder if you are interested."
Guo Jichang and Guo Weidong, who had been listening to the two chatting beside them, looked at each other with joy on their faces. Obviously, it was their arrangement to let Guo Xinghai stay in the capital.
If nothing unexpected happens in the future, Guo Xinghai will succeed Guo Weidong and become the executive chef of Diaoyutai Building 10.
But it’s hard to say whether Guo Xinghai will be willing to do it when the time comes.
After all, Linji does not have so many constraints and is developing more rapidly. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to change jobs.
Guo Jichang didn't think so long-term, as long as his grandson had a job he liked.
He looked at Lin Xu and asked:
"Where is your master?"
"He won't be on camera today and will only come here at noon. My senior brother and I will be on camera today..."
After Guo Jichang heard this, he was quite happy at first. Finally, he was not harassed by the old guy stealing the spotlight.
But then I thought about it, old guys like me were filming a video with his two apprentices. Didn’t this directly elevate Lao Gao’s status?
This old thing is really bad!
