Chapter 491 You have to be brave enough to try cooking. For example, making mandarin fish braised in vinegar... spicy? [Please subscribe]

"Hahahaha, I'm so lucky today!"

In the evening, Chen Yan returned to the store. As soon as she walked in, she excitedly told Shu Yun about her good luck today.

Each scratch-off ticket comes with a prize, and the scratch-off ticket worth 500 yuan has scratched out 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, followed by catching dolls, drawing draws, and playing with the shooting machine, all to kill them all.

"You haven't seen that I have emptied all three doll machines. The children were so envious that their noses were bubbling with envy. They kept praising my aunt for being so awesome. When I was happy, I gave them all the dolls I caught.

, they changed their name to sister...the current Xiaopenyou has a really high emotional intelligence."

After saying that, she picked up Dundun and said:

"Baby, is it because auntie was lucky today that you took that photo? Thank you, auntie is very happy."

Dundun: "..."

I just want to die now!

Woman with fish lips, do you know what you missed?

It struggled to jump away from Chen Yan's arms, then swelled into the hut and couldn't get out. It even blocked the entrance tightly with a small mat.

"What...what happened to it?"

Shu Yun smiled and said:

"You caught so many dolls and gave them to other children, but you forgot about your own children. Everyone would be unhappy."

When Chen Yan heard this, she patted her head gently, then took out an ugly and cute Gray Wolf doll from her bag and said:

"Yes, yes. I think the color of this gray wolf is very similar to Dundun. I put it in my bag and brought it back. Little Dundun, do you want to come out and take a look at your toy?"

As soon as he heard that there were toys, Dundun came out of the hut with his head in the air.

When it saw Big Big Wolf, it raised its paws and grabbed it in its hand, then returned to its hut and continued to keep a distance from Chen Yan.

Upstairs, Lin Xu looked at the grouper that Lao Huang had just delivered, and felt that his father-in-law had bought so much at once, and he must not have been satisfied with it at noon today.

There is a rat grouper weighing about six pounds, a red-spotted grouper weighing five pounds, two eastern star groupers weighing nearly five pounds, and a wild mandarin fish weighing four and a half pounds.

There is so much fish, and it is easy to get tired of it if it is all cooked in vinegar, so it is better to try a few more.

When it comes to cooking, you can’t just stick to one trick or another, you have to break through and innovate yourself.

The fish was still alive. Lao Huang specially brought some sea water when he bought it, and the mandarin fish was also kept in the aquarium.

Lin Xu plans to cook it last to keep the fish as fresh as possible.

Taking advantage of the free time before dinner, he took some shepherd's purse, spinach, lettuce and other green vegetables and tried to make Jade Shaomai.

Because it was a test, I didn't make many, I only made one cage of each.

After taking it out of the pot, I found that the shepherd's purse was good. It tasted a bit like dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse. Especially when the shepherd's purse was mixed with lard, the aroma was the same as the wild shepherd's purse dumplings I had eaten when I was a child.

The spinach stuffing is also very good, soft, smooth, and has the unique freshness of spinach. It tastes no worse than rapeseed.

The only bad thing is that the spinach stems must be removed, otherwise they will be mixed with the leaves and taste crispy, which is obviously inconsistent with the tenderness of the leaves.

As for lettuce, it doesn't work. The taste is too strong, and the leaves are not soft but crispy. When made into a filling and eaten in your mouth, it will have a strange taste.

People who are used to it will like this taste very much, but those who are not used to it will find it uncomfortable.

For example, Zhu Yong likes the jade shaomai of rapeseed. In his eyes, it even surpasses the original recipe of rapeseed.

But Wei Qian found it a bit hard to swallow, and all the lard and ham were in vain.

Through this attempt, Lin Xu finally understood that the ingredients to make Jade Shaomai require soft, tender and fresh vegetables, and those with a crispy texture are not suitable for making.

As for dishes other than green leafy vegetables, there are new discoveries.

Yellow bean sprouts, also known as yellow-leaf Chinese cabbage, have a soft and fresh texture. The combination of lard and cabbage is perfect, and the addition of minced ham makes the taste even more delicious.

However, yellow bean sprouts still need to use leaves, not stems.

Moreover, when using the leaves, even the tendons of the cabbage must be pulled out. The jade siomai produced in this way gives people an amazing feeling in terms of texture and taste.

The warm yellow filling, although it doesn't look like cabbage, gives people a warm and jade-like feeling.

"This yellow-leaf cabbage is really good, fresh and fragrant, with a slight sweetness, which is obviously different from the sweetness of sugar. I will make this later."

Several chefs in the back kitchen thought the yellow bean sprouts were quite surprising and kept suggesting making more.

Lin Xu naturally had no objections:

"Okay, let's get started. Just make the remaining cabbage into vinegar-braised cabbage, which is sour and delicious and goes well with rice."

Many areas in the north have vinegar-braised cabbage, but this method is completely different from vinegar-braised mandarin fish. Vinegar-braised cabbage is purely a home-style stir-fry, and it is the taste that many northerners remember.

Cut the cabbage into strips, simmer it with dried chili peppers and stir-fry it. During this period, add some mature vinegar to make it hot and sour, crispy and more satisfying than hot and sour shredded potatoes.

When everyone started to cook, Lin Xu took out the remaining Shaomai from the kitchen. Shen Jiayue, who was editing a video outside, smelled the smell and took off the headphones on her head in surprise:

"Is it time to eat, Xu Bao?"

"No, this is Jade Shaomai for some experiments. You can taste it and decide which one you like. I'll make it later."

Shen Jiayue was stunned, she didn't expect such a good thing.

"Ha, then I have to try it. I can't miss the delicious food."

She saved the editing progress, then closed the computer, went to the sink and washed her hands with hand sanitizer, took the chopsticks and plate from the disinfection cabinet, and walked over quickly.

Opening the lid of the steamer, I was a little surprised to see the jade shaomai inside:

"Wow, it looks like there are so many kinds."

Although the green leafy vegetables are all about the same color before being cooked, there are still some differences when wrapped in Shaomai skin. Even Shen Jiayue, a novice in the kitchen, can tell that there are many types.

As for the stuffed bean sprouts, it’s even more obvious.

She picked up a stuffed spinach and brought it to her mouth, took a bite, and then her eyes widened:

"Wow, this spinach is delicious, soft and fragrant. It doesn't have the bitter taste of spinach. It's great!"

She ate very happily. She originally thought that the jade siomai stuffed with rapeseed at noon was more classic, but she didn't expect that the one stuffed with spinach was so delicious.

And compared to rapeseed, spinach is sweeter and has a richer flavor in your mouth.

Delicious, so delicious!

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"Just eat what you like. Try something else. I'll pick out what you like and make it later."

Shen Jiayue felt warm in her heart.

This feeling of being pampered is so wonderful!

She was so happy that she even forgot to eat Shaomai, and whispered in Lin Xu's ear:

"How about we get the certificates after the New Year's Day holiday is over?"

Being pampered by her lover every day, she can no longer wait for the wedding. She just wants to appear in the same household register as Xu Bao immediately and become a legal couple.

Lin Xu was a little surprised, he didn't expect Shen Baobao to say this suddenly.

He smiled and said:

"Let's wait a little longer, wait until the quota for my settlement comes down, and then we can go get the certificate. Anyway, we are already together, so there is no rush for this moment."

"That's great...what's going on at the Yanjing Hotel? It's been so long and I still haven't settled down. If I had known, I would have let you work in my father's company and applied for a settlement in accordance with the standards of a listed company. index."

In Beijing, many people settle in large companies and only need to pay a sum of money after the settlement is successful. This is considered a loophole in the policies and rules.

But Lin Xu doesn't want this. We do business in an upright manner, so naturally we have to do it in an upright manner when we settle down.

If it's done secretly, what's the difference between it and smuggling?

He wanted to call and ask Ye Lixin, but felt that it was not appropriate to press for such a thing.

"When I get back to work on New Year's Day, I'll go to Yanjing Hotel to ask Mr. Ye about the situation. I'll find out what's going on. If it doesn't work, then I'll think of other ways."

Lin Xu felt that Ye Lixin was not a person who kept his word, but he had to follow up on this matter.

The condition agreed upon at that time was to settle down. If there was no such condition, then more money would be added and the conditions for settlement would be converted into cash for compensation.

You can't let your help go in vain if you don't give me money and you haven't settled in yet.

Shen Jiayue tried other shaomai. Like Lin Xu, she didn't like the lettuce, but the soybean sprouts were very good. This girl couldn't even eat two.

While eating, Chen Yan and Ren Jie went upstairs.

"Okay, you two actually secretly eat alone. Is this what biological sisters should be like?"

Shen Jiayue rolled her eyes:

"Why don't you continue sweeping the claw machine? Are you being kicked out?"

"That's not true. It's just that it's a bit boring to catch them all the time. The dolls I caught are given to others... Hey, the colors of these shaomai are different."

Chen Yan took out two pairs of chopsticks from the disinfection cabinet without washing her hands, handed them to Ren Jie, and started eating with Shen Jiayue.

Lin Xu didn't stay long. After deciding to make spinach, shepherd's purse and yellow leaf vegetables, he walked into the kitchen.
