"I read an article saying that cats are very insidious animals. It seems that four thousand years ago, they began to consciously imitate babies and approach humans to gain care and pampering from humans..."

Dundun was lying on the back seat looking at the scenery outside the window: "!!!!!!!!!"

Is this considered insidious?

This is to use the lowest cost to obtain the quality of life with no worries about food and clothing, which is called wisdom.

Humans, you lose too much to cats!

"Xubao, why do you think people are so strict with dogs but so tolerant with cats?"

At this moment, there was a traffic light ahead. Lin Xu slowly stopped the car and said with a smile:

"It's not too harsh. Dogs are social animals and have a sense of hierarchy psychologically. If you are occasionally strict, the dog's temper will be much restrained. Otherwise, it will become a house-wrecker, because it regards itself as the head of the family.

Already."

"What about the cat?"

"A cat always feels that it is its owner. It has no sense of dignity. If you don't treat it well, just leave. If you don't want to keep the cat here, then find someone to shovel it."

Shen Jiayue turned her face and looked at Dundun and asked:

"Son, will you leave us one day?"

Dundun blinked, then flicked his tail and put his paw on Shen Jiayue's hand.

Obviously, it doesn't go away.

Shen Jiayue looked moved:

"Wow, let me tell you, my son will never leave. Don't worry, Dundun, we will never abandon you no matter what time. If you get sick in the future, dad and mommy will treat you badly, no matter what.

Abandoned."

When the light turned green, Lin Xu shifted gears and started talking to himself:

"The person who said he smashed the pot and sold it for scrap must not know how to live a good life... A complete pot is quite valuable. If you smash it and sell it for scrap, the price will be reduced by more than ten times."

Shen Jiayue:??????

Why can you accurately pour cold water on my head every time?

For the sake of my son being in the car, I won’t argue with you now. I’ll show you some colors when I get into the bedroom at night!

When I arrived at the store, Lao Huang was unloading ingredients from the Jinbei truck.

A total of ten tables were prepared for the engagement banquet, and Lao Huang was responsible for all the ingredients.

Recently, Lao Huang's business has expanded a lot through Chen Yan's signing of executive chefs from big hotels, so for this engagement party, he provided all the ingredients for free.

"Boss Huang looks thinner."

Lin Xu got out of the car with Dundun in his arms, and found that Lao Huang was more energetic than before. His belly, which was originally shy, was now much smaller, and his chubby face had become more angular.

Losing weight really has the effect of plastic surgery.

"I lost more than ten pounds. A friend introduced me to ketogenic weight loss, saying that it can quickly reduce weight in a short period of time. I tried it and it was indeed effective, but the time should not be too long, otherwise it will cause damage to the body. About every three

Just two weeks in a month will be enough."

Put all the ingredients on the trolley brought by the cart driver, and the group went upstairs.

In the banquet hall on the third floor, various decorations such as ribbons and red silk were hung up, and a small animation created by Geng Lele based on the acquaintance of Chen Yan and Ren Jie was played on the big screen.

This is also a gift that comes with Geng Lele’s children’s shoes.

Originally, Cui Qingyuan felt a little sorry for his godson and thought about whether he had put too much pressure on the little mushroom head.

But after watching this little animation, I realized that this girl's potential is far from being fully exploited.

Since you still have time to learn animation, then take it with you and learn Spanish as well, so as not to go back to a non-English speaking country and scratch your head.

Lin Xu put on chef clothes and came to the kitchen, looked at Wei Qian and asked:

"Have you started preparing the dishes for the engagement banquet?"

"It's ready. Some large items should be steamed and stewed. The lamb chops have also been marinated and will be grilled when the dinner is about to begin. The time is short, so there is no need to start in advance."

After Wei Gan finished speaking, he pointed to the pool not far away and said:

"Lao Huang just sent ten mandarin fish, saying they are for making mandarin fish cooked in vinegar... Do you want to make it, Lin Xu?"

Lin Xu nodded:

"Yes, I will cook it. Sister Yan is engaged and will cook a less popular dish."

"Where are those little rapeseeds?"

"I'm making Jade Shaomai. Remember to cook some Jinhua ham later. I want to mix it into the stuffing."

The steaming time of Jade Shaomai is only about five minutes. In such a short time, it is impossible to bring out the fresh flavor of the ham, so the best way is to cook the ham in advance and use the heat to force out the fresh flavor of the ham.

Remove some of the salt flavor.

If you use Xuanwei ham, just steam it.

However, Jade Shaomai’s particular method of cooking requires the use of Jinhua ham, which is saltier, so the ham needs to be cooked.

In order to gain points, you have to follow the orthodox practices.

At ten o'clock in the morning, all the relatives attending the engagement party arrived one after another.

Some people brought gifts, and some simply sealed them in red envelopes.

Lin Xu came out of the kitchen, and Shu Yun quickly came over and handed over a rather large red envelope:

"Aunt Chen gave this to Mr. Chen when she left. It's a total of 20,000 yuan. She said this is called good things coming in pairs, and she even wrote a special note... Should I give it to you now?"

"I'll go upstairs to give it to her now and say hello to the elders."

Lin Xu came upstairs with the red envelope sealed by his mother for his sister-in-law, and saw Chen Yan, who was dressed in red. She was chatting with Mrs. Shen at the moment.

"Sister Yan, this is a red envelope from my parents. I wish you a happy engagement!"

I still remember that when I got engaged, my sister-in-law went over and gave me a red envelope in advance. Who would have thought that Mr. Chen, who was hiding from relatives urging the marriage, would suddenly become engaged.

When Chen Yan received the red envelope, Lin Xu reminded:

"My mother also left you a note, please open it and take a look..."

After saying hello to Mrs. Shen, he said hello to other relatives and relatives of the Ren family one by one, then went downstairs and started preparing food.

Make the Jade Shaomai first.

Take high-gluten flour and mix it into half-heated dough in the same way as making crab roe buns. Then cover it with a damp cloth and start to relax the dough.

When using high-gluten noodles, the gluten in the dough must be released as much as possible, otherwise it will be absolutely sticky and difficult to use.

After the noodles were mixed, he brought over the prepared vegetables.

Cut off the stems of the vegetable, leaving only the young leaves.

Prepare to boil a large pot of water. When the water boils, add a small spoonful of salt and some peanut oil to the pot. Bring it to a boil again and put the vegetable leaves in to blanch.

Once the vegetable leaves collapse and become soft, remove them as soon as possible and place them in cold water.

This step is to cool down and keep the dish tender yet crispy.

The vegetables must be cooled thoroughly, otherwise the remaining heat will cause the vegetable leaves to rot, and the taste of the cooked siomai will be greatly reduced.

When the vegetables are cool, Lin Xu takes them out, puts the vegetable leaves on a colander, presses them a few times with the back of the spoon, and squeezes out as much water as possible from the vegetable leaves.

Reduce the water content, stack the vegetable leaves one by one on the cutting board, and chop into pieces with a kitchen knife.

Ma Zhiqiang had never eaten Jade Shaomai. He looked at Lin Xu's steps and asked curiously:

"Boss, if there is no glutinous rice, no large pieces of meat, just vegetable leaves, will the cooked siomai be delicious?"

There are delicacies like Shaomai all over the country. Although there are sweet, salty, meat and vegetarian dishes, only vegetable leaves are used as fillings. The only one in Huaiyang cuisine is Jade Shaomai.

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"It's really hard to tell if it's food from other places, but Huaiyang cuisine's Shaomai is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface... because they have a secret weapon."

Ma Zhiqiang was stunned:

"Secret weapon? What is that?"

"lard!"
