Chapter 402: Life is not easy, Meow Meow sighed! Dundun: After all, you still have to rely on me to make money to support your family!
Lin Xu smiled and said to Shen Baobao:
"Then I'll make you Xianghe meatloaf."
"Xianghe meatloaf? Okay, okay, dad likes this kind of meatloaf the most. Since you make it, I have to let him and mom come to the store to try it later."
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"You are really a stumbling block for my parents to lose weight."
"Is this filial piety, okay? I, Xu Bao, have worked so hard to make it. Isn't it appropriate for the elders to try it? You go ahead, Xu Bao, I'll make a call."
Lin Xu agreed and went back to the kitchen to continue working.
Xianghe meat pie and Mending meat pie use different noodles.
The dough used for door-nail meatloaf is very similar to the dough used to make pancakes. The dough is moderately soft and hard. When kneading, some salt should be added to increase the gluten of the dough.
There is no need to knead it after it is relaxed, just roll it into strips and divide it into pieces like making dumplings.
The dough used for Xianghe meat pie is much softer, almost as good as the dough used to make fried dough sticks. Only dough that is soft enough can cover two pounds of meat filling with one pound of dough.
Less noodles and more fillings are the common characteristics of the two kinds of meat patties.
Lin Xu first mixed the noodles for door-nail meatloaf, then took a basin and started mixing the noodles for Xianghe meatloaf.
Add high-gluten flour to the basin, add a small spoonful of salt to increase gluten, and then add a little alkaline flour.
A small amount of alkaline noodles can increase the gluten of the dough and make the dough more extensible.
The biggest difficulty in making Xianghe meat pie is how to roll the dough thinly and evenly with enough meat filling without breaking the skin.
This kind of production process has extremely high requirements on the dough.
Therefore, when kneading the dough, you need to add some alkaline noodles to make the dough have the same ductility as ramen noodles.
After adding the salt and alkaline noodles, mix it well with your hands, and then add warm water of about 35 degrees into the basin according to the ratio of one pound of noodles to two ounces of water.
With such a large amount of water, it is impossible to knead the dough first and then into dough. Because there is too much water, just stir it with chopsticks and it will almost become a batter.
When the water and flour are completely mixed together and there is no dry powder, dip your hands in grease and knead in the basin while beating.
The reason why you need to grease your hands is to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands.
After beating a few times, the surface of the dough in the basin became much smoother.
Apply a layer of grease evenly on the surface with a brush, set it aside and start to loosen the dough.
While Lin Xu was busy in the kitchen, Shen Baobao took his mobile phone and sent a message to Shen Guofu:
"Dad, Xubao is going to make one of your favorite delicacies today. Do you want to come over and taste it?"
Shen Guofu immediately replied with a message:
"Are you going to make soy sauce bones?"
Sauce... When did big bones become your favorite delicacy?
"No, it's a kind of meat pie."
"Door nail meat pie? Mutton pie? Golden beef crispy pie?"
Baby Shen felt that there was a sudden generation gap between him and his father. He was clearly posting on WeChat Moments a few days ago, saying that he wanted to eat Xianghe meat pie, but why did he not remember it at all?
In order to prevent the tacit understanding between father and daughter from getting worse and worse, Director Shen stopped showing off:
"It's Xianghe meat pie. Don't you really like eating it?"
"That was before. I bought some authentic Xianghe meat pie a few days ago, which helped me quit my addiction."
How can I quit this?
"Does it taste bad?"
"Yes, it's super unpalatable, the dough is super thick, the meat filling is very small, and there are some cabbage leaves mixed in."
Baby Shen imagined what this kind of meat pie would look like, and it was completely different from the Xianghe meat pie in his impression:
"Isn't this false propaganda?"
"It doesn't matter, that person's name is Xianghe, and many people have been deceived."
Hey, this Xianghe meat pie is as good as sea cucumber fried noodles.
"Dad came to try it after get off work. I promise this time it wasn't made by someone named Xianghe."
Hum hum, now that you have tasted the dark cuisine of Xianghe meat pie, you should try Xu Bao’s authentic craftsmanship.
In fact, Shen Baobao doesn't know whether the meat patties made by Lin Xu are authentic or not. She only knows that Lin Xu's products must be high-quality and will not accept refutation!
Since there are delicious food in the store, Shen Guofu naturally doesn’t want to go home and eat fat-reducing meals.
He was a little embarrassed and sent a message:
"I definitely want to go to the store, but your mother's side..."
"Director Han, I'll take care of it. Just come and eat after get off work."
Seeing this news, Shen Guofu felt warm in his heart. She is such a good girl.
It’s impossible not to reward such a filial child.
You have to think about what to reward your children later.
After taking care of his father, Shen Baobao sent Han Shuzhen a photo of Zhang Dundun wearing a small suit and taking a class with Professor Ren:
"Mom, Dundun misses you!"
Han Shuzhen had no outpatient clinic in the afternoon and was sorting out medical records in the office. When she saw this message, she immediately replied:
"You are quite energetic in a little suit. Why does it miss me?"
My daughter rarely takes the initiative to send messages, so she must be up to something, so be careful.
"I was sorting out the photos from my last mountain climb just now. When Dundun saw your photo, he came over and kissed me. I must be thinking why grandma didn't come to see me."
When it comes to nonsense, Shen Baobao is the well-deserved number one.
After this message was sent, Han Shuzhen, who was waiting to expose her daughter's little trick, immediately felt warm:
"I will go to the store to accompany Dundun after get off work. You must have been tossing it for too long and the little guy is unhappy. I will go to the store to stay a little longer today."
Hoho, done!
Dealing with mom and dad is that simple.
After Han Shuzhen replied to the message, she called Shen Guofu:
"Go to the store for dinner, and remember to pick me up after get off work."
Shen Guofu's face was full of surprise.
She has to be a daughter, and she actually managed to take care of Director Han. It’s amazing.
Even with such a high efficiency, I should buy a car... Oh, right, Xiaoxu's car has never been repaired since it crashed, so just buy a car.
There happens to be a car show in a few days, so I will take Xiaoxu to have a look and buy whichever one I like.
Such an excellent son-in-law is not worthy of a car worth less than 2 million.
You have to drive a higher-end car.
In the kitchen, Lin Xu is making stuffing for door-nail meatloaf.
Beef breast meat, chopped into pieces with both fat and lean parts.
This kind of meat filling is not minced meat, but small particles the size of soybeans, which gives it a texture and a more fragrant taste. If it is minced meat, it will taste less interesting.
Chop the meat filling and add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt, ginger juice, fresh yellow sauce, pepper, allspice powder, Sichuan pepper powder and other condiments.
The so-called fresh yellow sauce is a sauce that is not dehydrated during the production process of dry yellow sauce. Because it is fresher than dry yellow sauce, it is called fresh yellow sauce.
The fresh yellow sauce is not that strong in taste and is suitable for filling.
But to make fried sauce, you have to use dry yellow sauce.
Put the ingredients into a basin, add half a bowl of green onion and ginger water, stir and mix the ingredients evenly.
When the water in the basin is absorbed by the meat, add half a bowl of pepper water, stir again to absorb, and pour the pepper water for the third time.
Beef has strong water absorption. This characteristic allows a large amount of onion, ginger or pepper water to be poured into the meat. This water will be the juice after it is cooked.
When the meat filling in the basin becomes sticky but smooth, it means that the moisture is almost there.
Add a spoonful of cooking oil and an egg, stir well again, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.
In a low temperature environment, the moisture will shrink into the meat, making it easier to wrap.
In fact, not only the door-nail meat patties, but also the meat fillings used to make dumplings and steamed buns are suitable to be chilled in the refrigerator before wrapping. This way, the filling is better and the filling is more delicious.
The filling of door-nail meatloaf has a high proportion of green onions, and seven ounces of green onions are standard for one pound of beef.
The onions used are not green onions, but purple onions.
Onions have more water and sweetness, which can bring out the umami flavor of meat.
Don't put the onions in advance. If you put them in too early, the stuffing will have a smell of onions. You can just add them at the same time, so that the meat filling will be fragrant and the onions will be fresh.
After making the fillings for Mending meat pie, Lin Xu started making the fillings for Xianghe meat pie.
The filling method is very similar to that of door-nail meatloaf. The only difference is that you don’t add so much green onion, ginger and pepper water, otherwise the water content will be too high and the meatloaf will become soupy.
Another difference is that Mending meatloaf uses purple onions, while Xianghe meatloaf uses green onions.
After the two kinds of fillings were prepared, Lin Xu went to do other things.
Brilliant Building.
Chen Yan was lying on the office chair, raising her feet on the desk, and was eating spicy dried fish while watching SpongeBob SquarePants, when Sister Weiwei suddenly opened the door and walked in.
Seeing Mr. Chen's appearance, Sister Weiwei said helplessly:
"You are also a 4-year-old, can't you be more mature and steady?"
This word has appeared very frequently in Chen Yan's life recently.
Theoretically, this is true.
But Chen wants to explode every time he hears it.
So today, while I was not busy in the afternoon, I watched SpongeBob eating snacks and pretended to be a minor.
"Weiwei, if you mention that word again, believe it or not, I will move your desk to the bathroom... Why are you here? It's not just to mock me, right?"
Sister Weiwei immediately put away her expression and said seriously:
"I just received a promotion invitation."
Chen Yan pouted, picked up a piece of dried fish and put it into her mouth:
"Snacks or what? You're not trying to trick fans in the live broadcast room again, are you?"
"No, it's an auto show for imported cars."
Auto show?
Chen Yan immediately put down her long legs, sat upright, and wiped the grease on her hands with a tissue:
"This is good, let's talk about it in detail."
"The guests that the car show invited had their car overturned two days ago. They urgently changed it and the car overturned again, so they are no longer interested in celebrities and want to invite Dundun to participate."
I'm going!
I used to say that Dundun’s biggest problem is that she can’t make money to support her family. Is this the last shortcoming that needs to be made up for?
Before Sister Weiwei spoke, Chen Yan guessed a bunch of anchors in the company, including Lin Xu, but she didn't expect that it was Dundun who was invited.
Celebrities can overturn their cars, idols can collapse their houses.
But pets don’t have this problem.
Moreover, Dundun is now famous enough and has many fans. From her acting skills to her music appreciation ability, she has captured the hearts of many young men.
Choosing Dundun to be a guest is quite reasonable.
"How about the appearance fee?"
"Originally, the other party was only willing to pay 150,000 yuan, but after I sent the video recorded by Dundun and Professor Ren, the other party took the initiative to offer 300,000 yuan, but the requirement was that Professor Ren's video had to be sent in advance, and Dundun had to send it that day. Wearing costumes from the show to attend the opening ceremony of the auto show."
This is not a small amount of money.
It seems that this car exhibitor is really scared by the overturned celebrity.
That’s why we put so much effort into inviting Dundun to participate.
However, this amount of money was still not enough. Chen Yan said to Sister Weiwei:
"Let's communicate with them again. My brother-in-law and his wife will also go that day. If we add some money, the whole family of three can go. How can you give the money to one person?"
Speaking of which, this car exhibitor is quite a thief.
You only have to pay Dundun's own expenses. Are you going to let the little guy swipe his card and take the subway to attend the opening event?
After Sister Weiwei went out, Chen Yan called Shen Baobao on her mobile phone and told her about the incident.
"Car show? Okay, okay, I'm planning to use my pocket money to help Xu Bao change a car. When the time comes and there is a suitable one, I can just order one. This will allow Dundun to get used to it in advance."
If selling canned cat food is a way to deceive fans, Shen Baobao and Lin Xu will never agree.
But in an event like a car show, you can not only introduce your little one to the world, but also choose a car for yourself, and you can still get money for it. It’s the best of all three.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Baobao, who was editing a video, pushed his computer to the side, hurried downstairs, hugged Dundun and kissed him.
"Baby, I invited you to attend the car show as a guest. Neither dad nor mommy received this kind of treatment. My baby is awesome!"
Shu Yun asked curiously:
"Dundun received a business invitation?"
"Yeah, my aunt complained every day that we can't make money, and now she's getting slapped in the face! After dinner later, I have to ask that woman who is running around if her face hurts."
Dundun blinked, probably not expecting that he could make money.
It hugged the newly bought silk carp and rolled happily on the service desk. Then it walked to the grooming mirror next to it and looked at itself in the mirror seriously.
Shu Yun and Shen Baobao looked at the little guy's behavior in surprise:
"Tsk, tsk, now it starts to look stinky."
"After all, it is an important occasion, so of course we have to pay attention to our image!"
After the surprise, Director Shen went back upstairs and continued editing the film.
She wants to make a simple trailer of the video she shot today and send it to her account, using Dundun's popularity to warm up Ren Chongmo's account.
The trailer is not long, it just briefly introduces the "trivial" achievements of the chief professor of Chinese at Peking University, and also shows some clips from classes.
For example, Ren Chongmo was having fun this morning. He looked at Dundun and asked seriously:
"Do you understand? If you understand, let's continue. If you don't, I'll say it again."
Dundun waved her hands cooperatively, indicating that she understood and continued.
After the trailer was edited, she added the video cover and ending and chose to upload it.
Soon, this trailer titled "What sparks will happen when a diligent and studious kitten meets the chief professor of Chinese at Peking University" passed the review and appeared in many people's dynamic lists.
"I'll go, chief professor of Chinese at Peking University?"
"Look at the title, Dundun is going to cause trouble."
"The performance has defeated a lot of young talents, and the music appreciation is comparable to that of music majors. Are you finally going to enter the Chinese circle?"
"Ah ah ah, isn't this Professor Ren? The most stylish professor at Peking University. I like his classes so much!"
"Professor Ren actually came to the short video platform, you must pay attention!"
"Some people have always said that Professor Ren is the last modest gentleman at Peking University. Pay attention to see what kind of interaction he will have with Dundun."
"..."
In the comment area, netizens who had not watched the video content were the first to comment.
First, read the comments to take advantage of the situation, and then watch the video content.
When they clicked on the content, the barrage of shit didn’t stop.
The chief professor of Peking University explained ancient Chinese to Dundun, but Dundun seemed to understand it. Occasionally he saw oracle bone inscriptions and hieroglyphs, and he even scratched the desk with his paws a few times, obviously studying. p>
"Oh my god, if I had worked so hard back then, I wouldn't have only taken two exams."
"I failed the postgraduate entrance examination this year and originally planned to give up, but seeing how serious Dun Dun was, I continued to study at night!"
"Add me, keep working hard, and won't give up until we get to the shore!"
"Hello everyone, I am a student of Professor Ren. Is Dundun my senior or my junior?"
"You should just call me senior. I'm afraid Professor Ren won't agree if you call me junior."
In the kitchen, Lin Xu kneaded the dough into balls, then took out the beef filling from the refrigerator, added chopped onions, stirred evenly, and started wrapping.
After refrigeration, the meat filling becomes slightly hard.
Dig a spoonful into the dough and wrap it up like a bun, pulling off the excess dough at the edge.
Everything is wrapped and the large pan has been preheated.
Place the patty with the mouth facing up first to let the bottom of the patty set, then turn it over with the bottom facing up, brush with oil and cover with a lid, heat both sides and start cooking.
The door-nail meatloaf is relatively thick, almost two centimeters thick, so it needs to be baked for a while.
When both sides are golden brown and you can feel hard lumps inside when you tap it with your fingers, it means that the meat filling inside has balled up and turned into a meatball, which means it is cooked.
After making all these door-nail meatloaf, Lin Xu started making Xianghe meatloaf.
Before making meatloaf, you must first prepare the meat filling.
Mix the chopped green onion with sesame oil, then pour it into the meat filling, stir evenly, and then knead it into meat filling balls of about two kilograms each.
Xianghe Meat Pie pays attention to how big the pan is, so the pancake will be made as large as possible.
The pancakes in the store are not giant ones with a diameter of one meter like breakfast stalls, so there is no need to prepare so much filling.
Knead the stuffing into a ball and set it aside. Sprinkle flour on the chopping board. Take a ball of dough that has completely relaxed from the basin and place it on the chopping board.
Hold the corner of the dough with your left hand and fold it to the middle, and press it down with the palm of your right hand.
Then change the position of the left hand and continue to lift the dough and fold it into the middle, and continue to press with the right hand. In this way, the dough is pressed into a round thick cake.
The reason why we press it is to make the noodles stretch.
After the dough is pressed, take the meat filling that was rolled into a ball and place it on top of the cake. The sizes are very different. It looks like the moon was flattened and the earth was placed on top.
Lin Xu held up the dough with both hands, pushed the noodles on both sides and began to rotate, letting the noodles gradually extend, and slowly wrapped the meat filling.
When the meat filling is almost wrapped, place it on the chopping board, close the mouth tightly, and remove the excess dough.
Next comes the most difficult step of making Xianghe meatloaf, which is to roll out the huge meatloaf thinly and evenly without breaking the skin.
This requires certain techniques.
Lin Xu did not use the rolling pin directly, but tapped the bun a few times with his hands to turn the bun into a thick cake.
Then use a rolling pin to press it in a circle without rolling it. This will smooth out the meat filling inside and effectively prevent large clumps of meat from gathering together.
Finally, roll it out a little, roll out the dough and the meat filling together, and roll it into a cake with a thickness of about one centimeter.
After rolling it out, use a rolling pin to support it and put it into the pan.
At this time, the thickness of the meat patty's dough should not exceed 0.5 millimeters, and the meat filling inside can be seen clearly after applying oil.
The exquisite Xianghe meat pie has a thick paper skin and a delicious filling, which will satisfy your craving when you eat it.
The Xianghe meat pie spread quickly because of its thin skin and large fillings, which made many people enjoy eating it. Even Qianlong, the number one food broadcaster in the Qing Dynasty, wrote a limerick to praise:
There are strange cakes in Xianghe, and the old woman has new skills.
After a meal at this restaurant, you will forget all the treasures in the world.
When the meatloaf in the pot is fried until the surface is brown, use a special bamboo spatula to turn it over. After both sides are cooked, take it out and place it on the chopping board for cutting cooked food.
Cut the meatloaf into teeth with a knife and place it on a plate.
Then take it outside and start eating dinner.
Shen Guofu was chatting with Tan Yajun who came over to eat. When he saw the meat pie, his eyes widened, and he took a piece and ate it.
Lao Tan joked:
"Didn't Director Han not let you eat meat?"
Shen Guofu ate until his mouth was full of oil:
"This is not meat. This is the filial piety of the children. Eat more, otherwise the children... will be so sad!"
