Chapter 813 Dundun: Being smart, I never miss any opportunity to make money! Butterfly Platter!
"Xubao, please make more noodles!"
In the morning, when Lin Xu got up, Shen Jiayue murmured vaguely in bed, then covered herself with a thin quilt and continued to sleep soundly.
Lin Xu smiled helplessly. He was still thinking about food when he went to bed. He was really a standard foodie.
He got dressed and pulled on his slippers to the bathroom.
While brushing his teeth, he turned on his mobile phone and looked at it. He found that yesterday's trailer had become the most popular on the short video platform, and topics related to the state banquet had also reached the top five.
It's really amazing that there was such a popularity overnight.
Click on the short video platform, and there are actually four or five state banquet-related videos on the homepage. Some UP hosts are doing science popularization, and some people are recreating some classic dishes at the state banquet.
Lin Xu flipped through the pages, and there was actually a state banquet chef who showed up to talk about the experience of filming a state banquet.
I originally thought that another chef with the prefix "国" had opened an account, but when I clicked on it, I found that I had never seen it before, and there was nothing eye-catching about his resume. The only thing that could stand out was that he had worked as a cook at a state banquet.
For a large state banquet, there are almost a thousand people in the kitchen. It is impossible for everyone to be the head chef, so most of them are chefs drawn from various restaurants to serve as assistant cooks.
In fact, among the chefs of each state banquet, only the chief chefs of each region, the head chefs of each department, and the chefs directly involved in the preparation of the dishes are qualified to be called state banquet chefs.
Even lower-level cooks or handymen are not qualified to be called so.
Lin Xu looked at the long video uploaded last night again. The number of views has now exceeded one million, and the comments, reposts, favorites, likes and other data are also very good.
After all, it hasn’t been updated for a few days, and the video of Lao Suntou fishing has become quite popular on the Internet.
The combination of the two resulted in the video of the whole fish feast becoming extremely popular.
Click on the comment area, all comments from netizens:
"I've learned, I've learned, now I'm just missing a 71.3-pound fat-headed fish."
"Does anyone sponsor fish? I can make a whole fish feast on the spot!"
"I just dug up an earthworm. How many steps do I have to go before I can have a full fish feast of 71.3 pounds?"
“I really want to try it, all the dishes are very delicious.”
"My favorite is the fish brain steamed egg, it looks delicious."
"..."
Lin Xu finished brushing his teeth, washed his face, went downstairs with his cell phone, and prepared to make breakfast.
Today it is still hollow noodles. In order to avoid not eating enough, Lin Xu also plans to fry some steamed buns and mix them with lettuce to make cold fried dough sticks that can be eaten with vegetables and rice.
When passing by the door of Dundun's room, the little guy was already up, with a red bow tie in his mouth.
Lin Xu asked curiously:
"What are you doing? Are you going to wear a bow tie today?"
"Meow!!!"
Dundun agreed seriously, then jumped onto the low stool next to him, placed the red tie in his mouth on it, stretched out his paws and patted it a few times, urging him to put it on quickly.
Lin Xu took the bow tie and put it around the kitten's neck. Dundun immediately went to the side and looked in the mirror, shouting with satisfaction.
"Why are you so beautiful all of a sudden today?"
It's a pity that I don't understand cat language, otherwise I would be able to sit down and chat with the child seriously now... Lin Xu reached out and scratched the little guy's head, and then went downstairs to prepare breakfast.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, aren't all parents like this? They think they know everything about their children, but in fact they don't understand them at all. In many cases, there is even a situation where they are talking to each other.
When he came downstairs, he first put the noodles on the fried steamed buns and put them aside for frying.
Then fish out two loaches from the aquarium, kill them cleanly, remove the meat, cut into small cubes, add an egg yolk, stir evenly, and put them into a steaming cabinet for steaming.
After finishing these, start preparing the sautee for eating noodles.
Today it is still diced pork topping, but instead of diced pork and sour bamboo shoots, it is diced pork, garlic sprouts and mushrooms brought back from the store yesterday. This topping is poured on the noodles, paired with green vegetables and crispy noodles, and the taste is definitely the same.
Where to go.
Lin Xu took a piece of pork belly and started dicing it, then prepared the mushrooms and other ingredients, set up the wok, and started cooking. By the time the toppings were ready, the loach in the pot had also been steamed.
He took it out and let it dry for Dundun to eat.
Shen Jiayue had also gotten up at this time, and just as she was going to do aerobics, Chen Yan was already downstairs.
"Yueyue, haven't you gotten up yet? Did I come too early? Why don't I come over after you finish the meal?"
Chen Yan called and asked to open the door. When she heard Shen Jiayue's voice being a little lazy, she thought the girl hadn't gotten up yet.
"Come on, I got up early. I just danced and did exercises on the roof for half an hour. Fasting aerobic exercise can help eliminate fat. Don't you know this, Yan Bao?"
Shen Jiayue is a person who never takes advantage of her words, especially in front of her cousin. Hehe, if you dare to suspect that I just got up, you definitely can't admit it!
Soon, Chen Yan came upstairs. Seeing that breakfast was not ready yet, she excitedly planned to go to her house to take a look at the monitoring results.
You have to be completely sure that there is no formaldehyde in your home before moving here. After all, compared with food and drink, the baby is the most important thing.
And since we are neighbors in the future, there will be many opportunities for us to eat together, so there is no rush for this day or two.
The two excitedly went upstairs to the rooftop, and then went along the rooftop to Chen Yan's house to check the formaldehyde monitoring equipment.
Lin Xu started frying the steamed buns in the kitchen. In order to make the cold salad taste better, he deliberately turned up the heat, so that the steamed buns would taste crispier and more delicious.
After frying the steamed buns, boil the water in a pot and start cooking the noodles.
When Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan came back, the noodles had been cooked, and the steamed buns were cut into small pieces and mixed with lettuce. Garlic juice, chili oil, balsamic vinegar and other condiments were mixed together, so that the steamed buns and lettuce were ready.
A different kind of taste.
"Wow, I just like this kind of noodles, it looks delicious."
When Lin Xu used a spoon to put the prepared crispy whistle into a big bowl, Shen Jiayue couldn't wait to take it over, stir the noodles with chopsticks, pick up a chopstick, blow on it, and eat!
Today’s hollow noodles are still one bowl per person, but the bowl is bigger and the noodles are more.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
This solid bowl of noodles is paired with steamed buns mixed with lettuce. In theory, it is definitely enough to eat.
Shen Jiayue took a mouthful of noodles, then took a bite with the cold fried steamed buns, and let out a satisfied sigh:
"It's so delicious, it feels like this is life."
Chen Yan glanced at her speechlessly:
"Don't you cook at home every day? You say it as if you only eat this one meal a year... I have to move here quickly. This is the first time I have eaten such a delicious breakfast. It's so wronged!
”
In the past, I always felt that the way of eating carbohydrates with carbohydrates was a bit speechless, but in fact, this is the correct way to eat pasta. For example, today's noodles and steamed buns are really delicious when paired together.
"Brother-in-law, if I don't have enough to eat later, you have to cook me some noodles. I'm not greedy, I'm just worried that the baby in my belly won't have enough to eat. I can't let my baby starve with me since he was a child." p>
Lin Xu: "..."
Are all the reasons for being greedy now so fresh and refined?
He agreed and then talked about the work content in the next few days.
"After shooting the dinner in Shanghai today, the chapter of Nixon's visit to China has come to an end, and the appearance of my master and my brothers has also come to an end. There may be occasional guest appearances at the remaining banquets, but they will not be the main stars. After all, those old people have to show their faces, but
I can’t let everyone just look at me...so I plan to take advantage of this period of time to implement the chef school."
Although this is just an idea now, it is not difficult to implement it, because Master and the others have all nodded. Later, as long as the Chinese Culinary Association takes the lead and the qualifications of the famous chefs are revealed, the teaching aspect will be smoothed out. p>
But this alone is not enough. A private school must have complete procedures, a campus, a complete management system, a detailed teaching plan, and a stable source of students and employment channels.
Lin Xu had to take the lead in preparing these, and even had to rely on connections to get them done.
He planned to ask Geng Lishan and Cai Heping to see how to apply and handle the specific procedures. As long as the procedures were complete, other aspects would be much easier to handle.
Chen Yan didn’t expect Lin Xu to open a school:
"I'll go back and ask someone to see what procedures are required for technical private schools. If it's difficult, I can just buy a technical school directly."
These words reminded Lin Xu.
Yes, starting from scratch is not only troublesome but also time-consuming and labor-intensive. If you can purchase the license of a technical school, you can save a lot of time.
Well, after today's state banquet is finished filming, I'll find someone to ask.
After breakfast, he tidied up the kitchen, and the group went downstairs and drove to the store.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the store, he saw Hou Dingshan waiting there leaning on a Maysa Cayenne. Lin Xu parked the car in the parking space, pushed the door and got out, and said hello to him:
"Why did Mr. Hou come suddenly? Is there something wrong?"
Hou Dingshan smiled and said:
"You didn't say anything about the documentary about the state banquet. We plan to sponsor one or two high-end programs to officially launch the Mysar brand in the country... Can I still participate now?"
This thing is probably quite annoying.
If there is no CCTV, any method will do.
However, CCTV represents the image of the country. It would be incongruous to show a foreign luxury car brand in a state banquet program. Moreover, the mainstream tone of society now is to promote domestically produced cars. It would not be very suitable for the brand Mesa Rui to appear in a CCTV program in a high-profile manner.
Suitable.
Lin Xu did not refuse directly. He thought for a while and said:
"Let me ask you. The specific decision depends on the leaders."
As the promotion ambassador of Mysarui, he cannot refuse directly, as that would hurt Mr. Hou’s face too much.
Hou Dingshan didn't really come here for this matter. He glanced at Dundun and said:
"We have a new batch of car models. We would like to invite Dundun to take some promotional photos. Do you have time today?"
This is the reason why he came here. It is more expensive to buy some car models individually, and there is no reference object, so it is difficult to know the exact size.
And by asking Dundun to help take a photo, the size of the car model can be perfectly displayed, and it can also attract the attention of the little guy.
Of course, this will not make her help in vain, and she will be paid according to the price of a high-end model.
Lin Xu glanced at Dundun and asked to wear a bow tie early in the morning. Is this just to prepare for this?
Now that Dundun is ready, the parent will naturally not say anything else:
"No problem, Mr. Hou. We can leave for shooting in a while. It's just the right time for Dundun to go out and relax."
Shen Jiayue originally wanted to go to the Yanjing Hotel to watch the state banquet filming, but since Hou Dingshan came here specially to invite Dundun, let's go there and let the little guy pick out a few car models he likes and bring them back.
"The photographer is ready. If nothing happens, let's go?"
Hou Dingshan looked at his watch. He planned to take advantage of the relatively soft light at this moment to take pictures of the exterior scenes. When the sun rose and the light became stronger, he would concentrate on taking indoor pictures.
When Shen Jiayue heard this, she went to the store to get some dried meat for Dundun, and then carried it into Chen Yan's car.
Since I am on a business trip, my agent must also follow me.
It just so happens that Chen Yan has also learned a lot, so she can take over the business of taking promotional photos later.
Shortly after Shen Jiayue left, Lin Xu also drove to Yanjing Hotel.
When we arrived at the filming site, Lao Huang had already delivered the ingredients we would use today, including winter melon, mandarin fish, hairy crabs and other ingredients. They were complete and sufficient.
"Brother, what are you missing? Why don't you talk. I'll get you some swimming crabs of more than a pound to try when I'm not busy tomorrow."
"Okay, no problem."
After checking all the ingredients, Lao Huang asked in a low voice:
"Can this crab really be imitated? How to start?"
Lin Xu smiled and said:
"It's quite simple to say, steam the crabs and stuff them into the shell, fry them in batter to make a crab bucket, then cut the mandarin fish meat into the shape of crab legs, fry them in crispy batter, and put some bread crumbs on the crab claws.
, make the hairy crab's velvet claws, and then assemble them together to look like a hairy crab, and this is it."
Lao Huang frowned:
"It sounds simple, but I can't do it at all."
It’s not difficult for those who know how to do it, but it’s difficult for those who don’t know how to do it.
Now that the cooking process is in place, it’s really not that difficult for today’s chefs. What’s difficult is that the chef who created this dish had to scratch off a lot of hair before he could make this method without removing the crab. p>
However, the practice of crab fighting is relatively old. There were similar dishes in the Song Dynasty, and it was even more popular in the Ming Dynasty.
In "Jin Ping Mei", Chang Shijie was grateful for Ximen Qing's kindness in borrowing money for charity, so he specially ordered his wife to cook fresh crabs as a reward. The original text described the cooking method of this delicacy in great detail:
"Forty big crabs, all peeled clean, stuffed with meat on the inside, wrapped in pepper, ginger, garlic, rice flour, sesame oil (zhá, also known as "fried"), and cooked with soy sauce and vinegar
, fragrant, crispy and delicious.”
This process and steps are completely the practice of crab fighting, which shows the popularity of crab fighting at that time.
While we were chatting, Xie Baomin came.
Once the filming crew is ready, shooting of today's state banquet will officially begin.
The Shanghai State Banquet was a farewell banquet. Nixon left on a special plane the next day, so the food was slightly less sumptuous than the Hangzhou State Banquet. However, because both parties were quite satisfied with their visit to China and signed the century-old Shanghai Joint Communiqué, this was
A state banquet is more humane.
The first course was a butterfly platter, which hinted at the butterfly effect caused by Nixon's visit to China, followed by eight small plates, the content of which was similar to the eight-flavored small plates at the Hangzhou state banquet.
The remaining dishes are: green beans and shrimps, hanging oven roast duck, flower basket tofu, crab-shaped mandarin fish, winter melon cup, small soup dumplings, colorful desserts, bean paste dumplings.
Among them, the green beans and shrimps are because Nixon was not satisfied with Longjing shrimps, so he added a similar shrimp dish.
The roast duck in the hanging oven is also the roast duck at the state banquet in Beijing. I didn’t eat enough, so I had another meal before leaving.
As for glutinous rice dumplings with bean paste, it was the first meal that Nixon had after getting off the plane. He landed in Shanghai at that time, and had a special Shanghai breakfast as soon as he got off the plane. He couldn't forget the dumplings, so he had to have another one before leaving.
Satisfy your craving.
Although his political stance is different, Nixon himself still likes the mysterious Eastern country. He visited it again in the 1980s and 1990s, and he is considered an old friend of the Chinese people.
Uncle Gao said:
"The winter melon pot can be steamed in half an hour at most. We'll start this later. The roast duck has been prepared. The roast duck can be made in one hour at most. It doesn't take too long. Let's make the eight small plates and the butterfly platter first.
Steam those crabs as well, and wait for them to dry before removing the meat."
Lin Xu and Xie Baomin agreed and prepared to go.
Uncle Gao is personally in charge of today's main dish, the butterfly platter. This dish is simpler than the flower basket cold dish, but it is still full of creativity.
Especially the lifelike shape of the butterfly is breathtaking.
Uncle Gao first took a straighter cucumber and cut it into strips, then marinated it in sweet and sour sauce.
After these cucumber strips are soaked and softened, they can be used to make the tentacles of the butterfly. They can also be placed on the belly of the butterfly to support the shape of the butterfly.
The entire butterfly platter requires a variety of ingredients such as yams, carrots, cucumbers, sausages, and sea cucumbers. Each ingredient is cooked in advance and then plated.
After all the ingredients are put together, it becomes the famous butterfly platter.
Lin Xu untied the crabs and scrubbed them clean, then tied them up and placed them on the steaming tray. They were all arranged and sent to the steaming cabinet for steaming.
After finishing these tasks, he and Xie Baomin cooked eight small dishes, that is, eight cold dishes.
The smoked fish, lotus root, cucumber, and stewed head are the same as those at the Hangzhou State Banquet, but today there are new additions of meat, crispy sausage, white-cut chicken, and preserved eggs with vinegar.
The preparation of these dishes is not difficult. Although the traditional way of cooking the meat requires overnight stay, there is no need to be so serious today. It is best to put the meat stew with the soup in the refrigerator, and then take it out and change the knife after it solidifies.
Outside the shooting venue, Dai Jianli asked his uncle Dai Yuefeng curiously:
"Is it time for us to shoot tomorrow?"
"Yes, there will be a joint shooting between Building 18 and Building 17 tomorrow. You should behave well then and don't discredit our Sichuan cuisine."
"Don't worry, uncle. If I don't cook well tomorrow, just say I'm a chef of Huaiyang cuisine. I will never embarrass Sichuan cuisine."
Dai Yuefeng touched the crutch and had the urge to give his nephew a few strokes.
Ning Shoubang on the side stopped him and said:
"It would be great if our Xiaoli had a personality like Jianli's. That child has such a stubborn temper. I'm really worried about what he will develop into in the future."
Dai Jianli said:
"Don't worry, he's definitely more accomplished than you, Uncle Ning. Now he's not only focusing on roast duck, but he's also started to try other dishes. He can't be said to be the person with the best cooking skills in the Ning family."
Ning Shoubang: "..."
Why did I have to stop you just now?
