Chapter 027 Mom’s oily buns! Shen Jiayue: I want to eat six!
After finishing work at noon.
Lin Xu took the time to go back to the rented house.
Haven’t seen you for a few hours.
The inside of the house has changed drastically.
The originally bare sofa is covered with a linen-colored sofa cover, making it very comfortable whether you sit, lie down or lie down.
Snacks and various daily necessities are also placed on the coffee table, giving the living room a sense of life.
In the master bedroom.
The single quilt that Lin Xu put on the bed last night has disappeared. Now it is a complete set of light blue quilts and bedspreads, and even the pillows are in sets.
The empty bed in the second bedroom was also covered with quilts, and Chen Meijuan's luggage bag was placed on the cabinet next to it.
Obviously, mom plans to stay in this room.
As for toiletries in the bathroom, various kitchen utensils and seasonings in the kitchen, etc., they are also all available.
Even the refrigerator is full of food.
It feels so good to have a mother!
Lin Xu lay down comfortably on the sofa, feeling like he was back in his hometown in Yinzhou.
Chen Meijuan walked out of the kitchen carrying a plate of washed fruits:
"Are you tired? Eat some fruit. Experts say that eating grapes can relieve fatigue. This bunch is yours. Eat it quickly and squint for a while after eating."
At noon.
Chen Meijuan passed by the store when she went out to buy something.
When I saw my son busy in the kitchen through the glass, I felt extremely distressed.
I heard that eating grapes can relieve fatigue.
So I went to the import and export supermarket and bought a few bunches of the most expensive and best imported grapes for my son to eat.
Lin Xu sat up.
I took a bite of the grapes and it tasted really good.
He said while eating:
"Mom, I will go back to school tomorrow morning to attend the graduation ceremony. The store is closed. I made an appointment with two workers online to adjust the store and put the cashier and cold drink cabinet at the door. You can help me keep an eye on the store.
Right."
Chen Meijuan wiped her hands with a towel:
"Okay, feel free to attend the graduation ceremony, I'm here."
She soaked the chef's uniform that Lin Xu had just changed into into the basin.
I plan to help my son wash it out later.
There is no dry area in the entire suit, which shows how tired I was from the busy work at noon.
After soaking the clothes.
Chen Meijuan looked at Lin Xu and asked:
"Since we are closed tomorrow, mom will cook whatever you want to eat in the morning."
Don't tell me, Lin Xu is really greedy for her mother's craftsmanship.
When the scenic spot was not opened in the past.
Chen Meijuan’s biggest hobby is making food at home.
And the categories are not limited to northern cuisine.
Southern snacks and snacks such as mugwort rice dumplings, bacon rice dumplings, glutinous rice cakes, quicksand buns, barbecued pork buns, etc. have also been tried and made at home, and they all taste good.
Go home every time on vacation.
These are Lin Xu’s happy moments.
Wash the gluten today to make cold noodles, grind rice pulp to make rice noodles tomorrow, and grind glutinous rice to make rice cakes the day after tomorrow. There are no duplicates at all.
It's a pity that my parents have been busy in the past two years to do the scenic spots.
I rarely cook anymore.
Even when Lin Xu goes home during the holidays, he mostly eats meals cooked by chefs in scenic spots.
Maybe stay home in the city and eat takeout.
"You can do whatever you want. By the way, Mom, there are a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator that I can't use. You can bring them back at night and use them if you can."
Chen Meijuan nodded:
"Okay, let me see what's available first and then decide what to eat for you tomorrow morning."
Nine o'clock in the evening.
Lin Xu took a shower after a busy day's work.
I'm sitting on the sofa in the living room eating watermelon.
Chen Meijuan is busy preparing tomorrow's breakfast in the kitchen.
In the afternoon, she rummaged through the refrigerator in the store.
I found several packages of frozen lard residue and chicken fat residue inside.
So I went to the supermarket and bought some dried beans and vermicelli, planning to make Lin Xu’s favorite lard dumplings.
The oil residue freezes very solid.
Chen Meijuan soaked it for several hours through the bag.
Now it has finally melted.
Lard residue and chicken fat residue are both products left after oil refining.
It's rich in fat.
Rich aroma.
Not only suitable for making stuffings, but also for stews and soups.
Chen Meijuan remembers that when she was a child, there was a shortage of supplies. Every time she cooked lard at home, she would gather around the stove, and she would not be afraid of pinching and eating the lard residue as soon as it was hot out of the pot.
Conditions are good now.
Everyone is talking about healthy eating.
Ingredients such as oil residue are also becoming more and more unpopular.
After melting the oil residue, cut it into peanut-sized pieces with a knife.
It can’t be too small. If it’s too small, you won’t be able to taste the soft yet fragrant texture of lard residue.
After cutting the lard residue.
She cut some more chicken fat residue.
When refining lard, lard is usually used, but chicken fat is refined differently. Chicken skin is usually used for chicken fat.
Nowadays, chickens in farms are fast-growing.
There are very few fat lumps in the body.
Want to get chicken fat.
We can only think of another way.
For example, chicken skin with a large amount of subcutaneous fat is one of the options.
Lin Xu uses chicken skin to make chicken fat.
Wash the chicken skin and scald it in boiling water to remove the blood and impurities from the pores, then cut it open and boil it in a pot like lard.
The chicken skin that has been boiled with oil has a texture like crispy rice.
There is still a strong umami flavor left on it.
It perfectly complements the strong aroma of lard residue.
Chen Meijuan put the chopped oil residue into a basin and put it in the cold room of the refrigerator.
This way you can use it directly tomorrow morning.
Save time.
Seven o'clock in the morning.
When Lin Xu woke up from his sleep.
The unique strong aroma of oily buns has already drifted outside.
After getting dressed and washing up.
Lin Xu came outside.
"The buns are steamed. Eat them while they're hot. I'll make you a bowl of egg soup and then go to the store."
In order to let my son eat delicious steamed buns.
Chen Meijuan got up before five o'clock and started working.
Finally, no time was wasted.
Lin Xu washed his hands.
I took a bite of the freshly steamed buns.
Well, the outer skin is soft and the filling is fragrant.
Dried beans taste chewy, and the flour skin absorbs the oil, making them oily and delicious.
But the most delicious thing is the oil residue inside.
The strong aroma is mixed with a soft taste.
It really tastes better the more you chew it.
Eat these delicious steamed buns.
Lin Xu turned on the phone.
I plan to check the weather today and see if the topic of Linji Food has become more popular.
Just turned it on.
He saw the message from Shen Jiayue:
"Lazy pig, are you awake yet? What time should I pick you up!"
Lin Xu smiled helplessly.
It’s only seven o’clock, sister.
You are usually so active in class, but now you are afraid that you will not be admitted to graduate school.
He held the bun in one hand and rattled a message back to Shen Jiayue with the other:
"I just got up. If you're in a hurry, go ahead. I can take the subway later."
Just sent it.
The news from Shen Jiayue came back:
"I don't! I want to pick you up! [Right humming] [Right humming] [Right humming]"
Lin Xu burst into laughter.
We were friends for four years when we were in school.
Why have you become so coquettish and domineering now?
He replied with an OK emoticon.
Just ready to continue eating steamed buns.
Shen Jiayue sent another message:
"Would you like me to bring you breakfast?"
Lin Xu took a picture of the basket full of oily buns on the dining table and sent them over:
"No, my mother steamed a lot of lard dumplings early in the morning and is making egg soup for me in the kitchen right now. There is no need to bring me breakfast."
Shen Jiayue: "!!!!!"
Lard dumplings?
It looks delicious!
Soon.
She sent a message to Lin Xu:
"Can you finish all these buns? What will you do with the uneaten buns? Should you put them in the refrigerator or freeze them?"
