Stop pretending, I am the God of Cooking and I am showing off my cards! Chapter 621: Cold Chicken is indeed well-deserved! What? There is an unexpected reward for cooking a Yunnan cuisine banquet?
Chapter 621: Cold Chicken is indeed well-deserved! What? There is an unexpected reward for cooking a Yunnan cuisine banquet?
"What are these hams made of?"
Wei Gan asked curiously when he saw Lin Xu put the ham-and-milk cake into the steaming cabinet, but then picked up a piece of ham and cut it.
Lin Xu said:
"I'm going to make a stir-fried ham with green peppers, steam some baby cabbage, and stew the bones with wild mushrooms into soup."
Although there are many styles of southern Yunnan cuisine, they are basically all variations on chicken, ham, pork, cheesecake and other ingredients.
As long as there are more varieties and the seasoning is closer to the flavor of southern Yunnan, it will be a delicious and attractive southern Yunnan food.
There are almost twenty people eating today, and the number of dishes to be prepared must also reach this number, so we have to use the ingredients on hand to make as many dishes as possible.
At almost eleven o'clock, Shen Guofu and his wife came to the store.
"Xiao Xu, is that cold chicken ready?"
He has been thinking about eating meat. Although Lao Huang invited him to drink with him today, he did not forget the cold chicken that his son-in-law mentioned two days ago.
Lin Xu said:
"It's being soaked in white brine right now, and we'll start preparing it when the guests arrive."
"Okay, then we'll wait... Hey? Where's Yueyue? Are you going to Miyun to ride with you too?"
"No, she went home and will come over later."
Lao Chen sat in the booth and whispered to Han Shuzhen:
"Professor Cui will come later. We have to help Lao Huang hold up the place, so we should have two more drinks. You can't nag."
Han Shuzhen rolled her eyes at him:
"It's just this once, and you can't get drunk. Come back drunk and see how I deal with you."
"No, no, I just want to have a taste of the delicious food. Besides, Master Xie will be here later. You know how much we drink, and we usually don't drink too much."
When the dishes were almost ready, the guests began to arrive.
Lin Xu took the chicken out of the white braised soup, drained the surface of the braised chicken, and then began to chop it into pieces.
The cold chicken with yellow skin and white flesh is full of juice. Every time you chop it, the juice in the meat will splash out. Just because of this, this dish will not be unpalatable.
After they were all cut into pieces, Lin Xu took a piece of chicken and tasted it. The chicken was already flavorful. Even if it wasn't served with dipping sauce, you could still taste the delicious taste of the chicken.
Think about it, put the hot chicken into the cold white stewed soup, and as the temperature drops, the stewed soup is absorbed by the chicken due to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction.
In this way, not only can the chicken be delicious, but it can also be filled with juice.
Even chicken breasts with an average taste are full of marinade when chewed, which is particularly delicious.
Putting the chopped chicken on a plate, Lin Xu prepared ginger dipping sauce, minced garlic dipping sauce, spicy dipping sauce and spicy and sour dipping sauce with lemon.
A chicken dish with four kinds of dipping sauces would be weird in other cuisines, but for southwestern people, it's normal.
Because each type of dipping water presents a different taste, the more dipping water, the richer the taste and the more enjoyable it will be.
It's a pity that there is no Zheer root, otherwise making a plate of Zheer root dipping sauce will definitely make many southwestern people taste the taste of their childhood.
When the dish was ready, Lin Xu took a piece of beef tendon that had been cooked and left to cool, cut it into slices, rolled some mint in it, put it on the plate and poured the sauce on it, and a delicious mint beef was completed.
Soon, these dishes were brought into the private room one by one.
After the guests arrived, various hot dishes and soups were also served, such as steam pot chicken, fish casserole, ham and mushroom soup, mutton pot, etc.
Shen Jiayue cleaned up her house and drove to the store. As soon as she saw Lin Xu, she acted like a baby with aggrieved expression:
"Xubao, I'm hungry!"
The house is so big that it is not only tiring but also troublesome to clean up, especially since the top floor duplex has three floors. The living room on the first floor is large, there are many rooms on the second floor, and there are all kinds of dried ingredients and pickled dishes on the third floor.
Shen Jiayue felt like she had run ten kilometers after having done so much work.
Fortunately, I didn't follow Yan Bao and the others to Miyun, otherwise I would never have made it to the finish line.
Maybe right now they are pushing carts around the pancake stall, queuing up to buy pancakes and fruits.
Lin Xu said:
"Then I'll prepare something to eat. Just sit and wait."
As soon as Shen Jiayue heard this, she came to the booth happily and sat down next to her mother:
"Sister Shuzhen, you look so good today."
Han Shuzhen was still watching dramas with her tablet computer. After hearing these words, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly:
"Maybe it's because I haven't been popular in the past two days... You are an adult, so don't act like a child all day long. If you don't know, you think our old Chen family's daughter is ignorant."
[The problem of slow update of new chapters can be solved
Only when it is soaked and the marinade has completely penetrated can the chicken taste delicious and chewy, making it an ideal choice to accompany rice and wine.
Lao Xie carefully analyzed this dish and finally said:
"My junior brother's cooking is still a bit disappointing. If there is more lard in the stew, the lard can moisturize the chicken again, and the taste and aroma will be even better."
As soon as he heard the lard, Lao Shen became more excited about this dish, and he immediately picked up the wine glass:
"Come, come, let's go one by one."
Such good chicken must be paired with fine wine.
Downstairs, Shen Jiayue, Han Shuzhen and Geng Lele, who came for lunch, were also shocked by the deliciousness of the cold chicken.
This dish not only tastes good, but the chicken is cold but not ice-cold, making it very refreshing in your mouth.
"Mom, don't watch TV while you're eating. It's not good for your eyes."
"The finale is coming soon. I have to finish it on the weekend, otherwise I will be busy at work tomorrow and won't be able to take care of it."
While he was eating, Lin Xu brought over dishes such as pan-fried pancakes and pancakes with ham. The portions were not large, but there were many styles. These were all reserved for plating upstairs.
Lin Xu brought the rice and sat down to eat.
He put the fat-and-white ham slices into his mouth and ate them with rice.
Geng Lele asked curiously:
"Brother Xu, why are you eating in such a hurry?"
"Let's put some down first, and go upstairs for a toast later."
Shen Jiayue asked curiously:
"Is this necessary? If you toast to a table of guests, your liver will soon turn into alcoholic liver disease."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Lin Xu put a piece of chicken into his mouth:
"Isn't this just for Lao Huang's face? In fact, it's not just me, my senior brother, Professor Cui, and our dad. If someone calls them to drink, they will definitely not participate. Lao Huang is an honest man, so he gives this face."<
/p>
When people come to the store to spend money, they can naturally do business.
But today, Mr. and Mrs. Huang invite the fellow villagers to dinner. Since ancient times, everyone has talked about returning home in fine clothes. Although we have not returned home now, we can still help our good friends to make a scene in front of the fellow villagers.
Otherwise, with Cui Qingyuan's aloof demeanor and his senior brother's disdain for worldliness, he would never participate in such an occasion.
Han Shuzhen said with some relief:
"Xiao Xu has really grown up and knows how to consider these worldly things. But if you don't like it, you don't have to do it. We elders work hard to make money and work hard just to accumulate arbitrary capital for you... We never have money.
It’s not about what you can do, but what you can’t do.”
Lin Xu smiled:
"Don't worry, Mom, it's just a toast. I'm not disgusted."
Han Shuzhen is very pleased that she has found a good son-in-law.
After sighing, he looked at his daughter who was competing for chicken wings with Geng Lele, and couldn't help but said:
"Yueyue, don't think about eating all the time. You should think about things like an adult."
Shen Jiayue was distracted and the chicken feet were snatched away. She took a piece of chicken leg meat and put it in her bowl:
"I think about things like an adult. When I first adopted Dundun, he disliked me. But under the influence of my old mother, he finally became my good son... Isn't this just thinking about things like an adult?
What?"
Han Shuzhen: "..."
Okay, I'd better continue watching the finale of "Crazy".
Lin Xu ate a bowl of rice, went to the private room upstairs to toast everyone with a glass of wine, and said a lot of polite words.
The guests were very happy and praised Lin Xu's delicious dishes one after another. They said that they would prefer Lin Ji's food for a banquet later, and even took Lin Xu for a photo.
Lao Huang was also very happy and took Lin Xu to drink two drinks in a row.
After the drinking was over, Lin Xu came outside and was about to go downstairs to check out the kitchen when a system prompt sounded in his mind:
"The host prepared a table of Yunnan dishes that satisfied the customers, completed the hidden task [Dian Cuisine Banquet], and obtained the perfect southern Yunnan dish - Zhanyi Spicy Chicken, congratulations
Lord."
Oops, are there any rewards?
The four major spicy chickens in China, in addition to Zaozhuang spicy chicken, include Northwest Chaiwopu spicy chicken, Geleshan spicy chicken and Guizhou spicy chicken. This Zhanyi spicy chicken should be a branch of Guizhou spicy chicken according to the technique. The method is to marinate the chicken first, then cook it with glutinous rice cake pepper and high-temperature hot oil to add flavor, and finally add the chicken and stir-fry. The whole dish is oily and spicy, and it is a great addition to rice.
Lin Xu felt that he could teach his uncle this dish later. With its spicy and delicious taste, it would definitely satisfy tourists in the scenic spot.
Coming downstairs, Shen Jiayue was video chatting with Chen Yan.
"We have ridden for hundreds of kilometers and I am exhausted, but it feels so good to be sweating profusely. It feels like the fat all over my body is burning. Yueyue, please show your envy on the public screen."
Shen Jiayue didn't expect that this cousin could ride hundreds of kilometers, so she asked curiously:
"Then do you still have the strength to ride a bike when you come back?"
"Yes, we are going to a farmhouse in front of us to eat live fish stewed in an iron pot. It is said that some pork belly can be added to the stew, and it will be very enjoyable to eat with the flatbread."
Shen Jiayue:??????
"Yanbao, are you losing weight or gaining weight?"
Chen Yan was stopped by one sentence.
Yes, if you run so far and eat a lot of high-calorie dishes, can you still lose weight?
However, it was noon and it was the time when I was hungry. Baby Yan could not stand up to his cousin and immediately ended the video call because the signal was not good.
"Fortunately I didn't go, otherwise I would have definitely gained weight if I rode a hundred kilometers to eat pot fish."
Shen Jiayue felt that the cold chicken at noon today was pretty good. She took her bag and went downstairs with Geng Lele, planning to take Dundun to George Peggy for a ride, and then hurried to get Mrs. Shen around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Received at the store.
I can’t pick her up right now. Grandma has to take a break at noon, so I can’t disturb her.
Coming downstairs, Geng Lele held Dundun, who was sleeping soundly, in his arms:
"Let's go for a ride! I heard that the Holy Master recognized a younger brother and sister? Can you take me to meet him?"
Dundun was originally a little angry that Qingmeng was disturbed, but when he heard this, he immediately raised his paw and pointed outward, urging him to set off quickly like the commander of the Trisolaran fleet.
Upstairs, Han Shuzhen was still watching the drama. Lin Xu brought her a plate of salt and pepper pumpkin seeds and pistachios made by the kitchen, and then went back to the kitchen to get busy.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the wine party in the private room finally ended, and Shu Yun sent discount cards on behalf of the store, making the guests who had eaten and drank even more happy.
After sending them away, Xie Baomin, Cui Qingyuan, Shen Guofu and others returned upstairs again.
Shu Yun quickly delivered a pot of sobering tea, as well as several snacks suitable for eating with the tea.
Lao Huang was very happy:
"Thank you so much. You guys really saved my face today."
Cui Qingyuan smiled:
"Friends, I'm just saying this. Besides, we also want to try Xiaoxu's cooking skills of southern Yunnan cuisine. It's really a worthwhile trip. This meal aroused my yearning for the Southwest."
Xie Baomin took a sip of tea and said to Lin Xu:
"Add some lard to the white brine, and replace the stock with chicken soup made by an old hen. If you adjust it this way, the taste will be better."
Lin Xu originally exchanged for excellent skills. When his senior brother said this, the system prompts sounded in his mind:
"The host listened to the instructions of the state banquet master, and the excellent grade [Wuding Liang Chicken] was specially upgraded to the perfect grade. Congratulations to the host."
Gee, this is the benefit of chatting with senior brother.
"Okay senior brother, I'll try again later."
Shen Guofu had a great time eating this meal. He ate meat, drank wine, and prepared all kinds of delicacies, just like during the Chinese New Year.
He said:
"Xiaoxu can work harder on this kind of special table booking in the future, or even specialize in a similar business."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Lin Xu thinks that it can be marketed appropriately, but there is no need to overdo it, after all, this kind of banquet
Although the profits are high, you have to make many of the dishes yourself. If you keep making them, what is the difference between it and working part-time?
However, it is good to promote it occasionally to attract customers.
Now there is one more task progress for the special banquet. From the Cantonese dishes they ate last time to today’s Yunnan cuisine banquet, the task can be completed by making three more tables.
The remaining three tables have more options.
It can make Northeastern cuisine, Central Plains water banquets, Sichuan cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, Shanghai cuisine and other types.
Anyway, as long as it reflects local characteristics, the proposition is relatively broad.
After everyone chatted for a while, Lin Xu took his mobile phone and contacted his mother:
"Mom, where are you? How long until you get to the store?"
"Just passed the Beijing checkpoint, it will take about an hour to reach the store entrance."
"Okay, then I'll prepare the food in advance. Do you, my father, and my second uncle want to eat anything? I'm not busy right now, so I can cook it for you."
Chen Meijuan is not polite to her son either:
"Just eat spicy food. I'm already hungry. I wanted to buy something to eat on the way, but the food in the service area is too mediocre. I bought a sesame seed pancake but it's still cold, so it's not that good."
Spicy?
Lin Xu immediately thought of the Zhanyi spicy chicken that he just got. Since he wants to eat spicy food, let's make spicy chicken. It is said that one plate of vegetables can make a pot of rice. I don't know if it is true or not. Today I will use the old one.
Let’s try it out with your parents and uncle to see how filling this dish is.
On the side, Shen Guofu heard the content of the call and his face was full of surprise.
What?
The in-laws are here?
So tonight, can’t we, Lao Shen, have a good time drinking and eating meat again?
