Chapter 808 Extraordinary Soup with Bean Sprouts and Pigeon Eggs! Old Shen: Plain Fire(2/2)
To be more eye-catching, it has to be the Hangzhou Dinner and the Shanghai Dinner. These two relatively casual dinners can better convey the beauty and artistry of Chinese cooking.
After all, the two dinner parties, whether it was flower basket cold dishes or butterfly platter, allowed Westerners to see the artistic side of Chinese food. This is also a high-end dish that the chefs in Chinatown will never be able to make in their lifetime.
After finishing the shooting, Lin Xu said:
"Come and eat whatever you want to try. There is plenty of food for everyone to enjoy."
After saying that, he brought the remaining assorted vegetables, walnut cheese, duck nuggets and other dishes to the table next to him. Everyone could eat whatever they wanted, as long as it was enough.
Shen Jiayue came over and filled two small bowls of bean sprouts and pigeon egg soup with a spoon and handed them to her mother and aunt:
"Try the vegetable soup, it almost made me cry."
After saying that, she filled a bowl for herself, scooped it up with a spoon and put it into her mouth. Suddenly a delicious warmth rushed into her mouth.
The taste is fresh and delicious, with a clear aftertaste.
But this kind of sweetness is not the sweetness of adding sugar, but the unique freshness of vegetables. When you drink it in your mouth, it feels extremely fresh.
Han Shuzhen said with admiration:
"No wonder there is vegetable soup in French food. It tastes really good...Xiao Xu, is this soup high in calories?"
"It's not high, there's no fat, it's made from pure vegetables, and the only seasonings are salt and pepper."
Upon hearing this, Director Han immediately became interested:
"Go back home and teach your Aunt Liu how to make it. With this delicious soup, your father-in-law won't complain that the fat-reducing meal is unpalatable."
Lin Xu naturally would not refuse:
"Okay, I'll go there when I'm not busy. This is so simple, you can learn it once you learn it."
After speaking, he took the small bowl, picked up two chopsticks and tasted the assorted vegetables. The ingredients were full of flavor and had a fresh and crisp texture. It was both comfortable and enjoyable to eat.
And after eating, I still feel very refreshed.
If such a dish is served during the Chinese New Year, it will indeed be very popular.
"Oh, this squirrel mandarin fish not only looks good, it also tastes great."
“Boss Lin’s craftsmanship has really changed my understanding of squirrel and mandarin fish.”
"In the past, I always thought that squirrel mandarin fish didn't look like squirrels. Today I've seen how the original version is made. Let alone eating it, just looking at it is a kind of enjoyment."
The photographer and staff were full of praise for the squirrel and mandarin fish made by Lin Xu. Such a lifelike little squirrel is much more beautiful than ordinary works of art.
The color, aroma, shape and taste are brought to the extreme, making people unable to bear to put down their chopsticks for fear of ruining the perfect presentation.
Even Qiu Yaozu couldn't help but sigh:
"Xiao Xu is rubbing our Huaiyang cuisine chef's face on the ground."
Everyone has agreed to use the simplified version of the recipe, so that the dishes are easy to make and less likely to overturn.
But suddenly someone made a high-end artistic version of squirrel mandarin fish. Where did this make the Huaiyang cuisine chefs put their faces?
Dai Yuefeng consoled him:
"Okay, okay, this isn't the first time. You're used to the friction."
It's okay if he doesn't comfort him. This comfort made Qiu Yaozu even more emo.
Alas, I envy Lao Gao all the time.
Dai Yuefeng touched Wu Chunjiang with his shoulder:
"Tomorrow, the three masters and apprentices are going to cook Zhejiang cuisine. Is there anything you want to say, Lao Wu?"
Wu Chunjiang is very single:
"I'm not Lao Qiu, so just do it. The better it is, the happier I will be, because they are helping to promote Zhejiang cuisine, which is a good thing."
Qiu Yaozu: "..."
I am not a human being inside and out, am I?
In order to stimulate some old friends, he suddenly made a decision:
"I plan to invite Xiaoxu to be the special consultant of our Huaiyang Cuisine Association. From now on, he will be our own Huaiyang Cuisine..."
As the saying goes, if you can't beat it, join it.
Although you can't join Gao Peisheng's disciples, you can join in the opposite direction, such as Yanjing Hotel, and develop Lin Xu into one of your own. This is not considered to be surpassed by outsiders, but the honor of Huaiyang cuisine itself.
Dai Yuefeng and Wu Chunjiang looked at each other and couldn't help but said:
"Lao Qiu, are you too much of a thief?"
After saying that, both of them felt a little annoyed in their hearts. Why didn't we think of such a good thing?
What a mistake! What a mistake!
The entire state banquet was quickly eaten by everyone, and even the remaining half of the pot of vegetarian soup was shared among the beauty-loving ladies in a bowl.
After everyone had eaten and drank enough, Lin Xu looked at the time and found that it was not yet three o'clock in the afternoon. Then he remembered teaching Aunt Liu how to make vegetarian soup. Since there is nothing else to do at the moment, let's go and spend some time with my husband.
Let's try some vegetarian hotpot.
From the soup base to the shabu-shabu dishes, everything is vegetarian, so it should be good.
After rinsing the hot pot, you can even drink it with the soup base. It's just like the porridge-based hot pot in Guangdong. I just don't know if the hot pot without meat will taste too vegetarian.
Thinking of this, he looked at Shen Jiayue and asked:
"Shall we go to our parents' house to eat vegetarian hot pot today? Everything from the soup base to the shabu-shabu dishes will be vegetarian. Feel the happiness of those vegetarians."
Shen Jiayue didn't have any objections:
"Okay, I saw those people eating vegetarian hot pot on the Internet a few days ago and thought it was interesting, and I wanted to try it."
Han Shuzhen was wiping her mouth with a tissue, and she immediately became interested when she heard this:
"Vegetarian hot pot? This one is good. This one is good. Let's try it when we go back today. If it tastes good, we will become vegetarian at home. We can't eat meat all the time. It's not good for our health."
Hearing this, Lin Xu couldn't help crying tears of sympathy for his father-in-law.
Originally I just wanted to have a meal, but I didn't expect my mother-in-law to want to eat like this every day. For old Comrade Shen, who is obsessed with meat and does not like meat, this would be life-threatening.
Alas, I should have known better not to mention this incident.
Chen Yan came over and said:
"Add me, I want to try it too, but let's agree first that if I can't get used to it, I'll have to eat meat. After all, I can endure hardship, but the little baby in my belly can't."
Tsk, once you're pregnant, you can really do whatever you want.
Lin Xu couldn't guarantee how the vegetarian hot pot would taste. In order to prevent overturning, he specially exchanged the perfect recipe for vegetarian hot pot, from making the soup to preparing the ingredients, all in one trip.
After deciding to eat vegetarian hot pot, everyone didn’t stop and prepared to drive to the West Fourth Ring Road.
"Yan Bao, you and mom go first. Xu Bao and I will go back to the store to get some ingredients. We will pick up Dun Dun and let Dun Dun play at grandma's house for a while. He hasn't been there for a long time."
"Okay, then we'll go directly."
After saying hello to everyone, Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue drove out of the Yanjing Hotel and went straight to Yingchun Street on the North Fourth Ring Road.
When they arrived at the entrance of the store, the young couple parked the car, opened the door and got out of the car.
As soon as she walked into the store, Dundun immediately came out of the hut, with a trace of longing on her face, as if asking, does the double portion of steamed bullfrog with egg yolk count?
Lin Xu immediately understood the child's thoughts and ordered Xiaodong:
"Put four bullfrogs in a bag for me. I'll pack them up and take them away later."
After saying that, he went upstairs and began to select the ingredients for vegetarian hot pot.
Pleurotus eryngii, seafood mushrooms, mushrooms, old tofu, vegetarian sausage, gluten, winter melon, pumpkin, sweet potato, Qianzhang, fried bean skin, gluten soak, Sichuan noodles, crystal powder, fresh corn...
All kinds of dishes suitable for hot pot and shabu-shabu are packed in the same package, and then carried downstairs.
At this time, Xiao Dong also prepared the bullfrog. Lin Xu took it and put it in the trunk together.
Shen Jiayue carried Dundun to the car, and the family of three drove to the North Fourth Ring Road, and then went straight to the West Fourth Ring Road.
After getting off the ring line and walking for a while, we arrived outside the villa of Shen Guofu's family.
Before the car stopped, Shen Guofu drove up from behind and asked loudly when he saw Lin Xu:
"Xiao Xu, how did I hear about making vegetarian hot pot? Can hot pot be eaten vegetarian? You have to cook beef and mutton to enjoy it."
Lao Shen doesn't like meat and has no interest in vegetarian hotpot at all.
At the beginning, Lin Xu really didn't dare to say whether the vegetarian hotpot was delicious or not.
But now that he has perfect techniques, he said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Dad, the taste will definitely exceed your imagination!"
