"Eating this way will definitely make your body very healthy. How about we eat vegan hotpot at least once a week?"

Lao Shen had already fully entered the state at this time, and also suggested that he should eat it regularly, as it felt more satisfying than boiled mutton and the like.

Han Shuzhen put the vegetables into Lao Shen's bowl:

"Don't just eat carbs, eat more vegetables. This is good for your health."

She took two more bites. Seeing that it was inconvenient for Shi Wenqing to hold the child with one hand and eat with the other, she stood up and said:

"I'll hold Yulin for a while. Wenqing, please eat more to avoid splashing the hot pot soup on the child."

Shi Wenqing was not polite either:

"Thank you, auntie. I'll eat quickly and take my place for you after I finish."

Luo Yulin watched everyone eating enthusiastically and kept mouthing. At only a few months old, his snack food attributes were clearly revealed.

Han Shuzhen carried her outside to watch Dundun eat, while Old Shen in the restaurant listened with his ears up and quickly took a few pieces of gluten from the pot.

Although vegetarian dishes are also delicious, relatively speaking, eating carbohydrates is more enjoyable.

After eating the gluten, the skin residue is almost cooked. This kind of delicacy made of vermicelli is especially suitable for hot pot, especially after it is cooked in tomato soup until soft, and then dipped in sesame sauce drizzled with chili oil, it is delicious and spicy.

Go down, that’s a beauty!

"Xiao Xu, will you still shoot the state banquet tomorrow?"

Han Shufen gave Shi Wenqing a piece of old tofu and asked curiously.

"Shoot, it's the state banquet in Hangzhou tomorrow. It will probably take a little longer because there are more dishes at the state banquet in Hangzhou, and they are all famous local dishes, which are quite particular."

The dishes to be photographed tomorrow include flower basket cold dishes, eight-flavored small plates, Hangzhou braised chicken, West Lake vinegar fish, Longjing shrimps, crispy duck, fried diced chicken, braised winter bamboo shoots, ham and Sichuan scallops, chrysanthemum cakes, Shao-style egg buns, rock sugar

Lotus seeds, fruit.

Among them, Hangzhou braised chicken is commonly known as beggar's chicken, which is relatively time-consuming.

As for the crispy duck, the duck is first boiled, then steamed, and finally deboned, battered and deep-fried, which is also more cumbersome.

Lin Xu has already made braised winter bamboo shoots, West Lake fish in vinegar, Longjing shrimps, chrysanthemum cakes, and Shao-style egg buns. In fact, he has also made beggar's chicken, but never to a state banquet level.

The way the beggar's chicken is cooked at the state banquet is not to wrap it in yellow mud, but to wrap it in lotus leaves with tin foil and bake it in the oven.

Because the method of wrapping it in yellow mud is considered unhygienic by foreigners, it can only be baked using the "wooden soul" oven method.

Shen Jiayue showed the menu she took on her phone to her aunt:

"Auntie, is there anything you want to eat? If so, I will drive to Fuwai tomorrow to deliver it to you."

Han Shufen looked at it carefully and asked curiously:

"What kind of dish is Gongbao Chicken? Is it Kung Pao Chicken?"

Lin Xu dipped lotus root slices in sesame sauce and said while eating:

"It's almost the same, except that the spicy flavor is lighter and the emphasis is on the chicken, so the real name of Kung Pao Chicken is not used. This is actually the taste that foreign countries like. Westerners don't like the spicy flavor of small lychees eaten in our country.

acceptable."

When foreigners eat Chinese food, they only like sweet and sour dishes, so this type of dish is popular all over the world. Almost everywhere there are Chinese restaurants, there are many sweet and sour dishes.

Han Shufen read it over and felt that every dish was worth tasting.

It's a pity that she has to go to work tomorrow. She is the deputy dean and is very busy, otherwise she would have to go to Yanjing Hotel for another meal.

Shi Wenqing said:

"We have eaten half of the dishes here, and they taste really good. Mom, which dish do you want to eat? I will tell you about the texture and taste."

Han Shufen glanced at her:

"Oh, then you are really filial."

She handed the phone to Shen Jiayue and said to Lin Xu:

"Your grandpa's birthday is coming soon. You can prepare a table for us then. Yueyue shouldn't bring me food. If you do, I may not have time to eat."

Doctors are really busy, and they don't even bother to eat when they are busy.

This is even more obvious for the Han family. Although the whole family works in the capital, due to their careers, they cannot have reunion dinners several times a year.

After Han Shufen finished eating, she went outside to hug her granddaughter. Han Shuzhen came back and continued eating.

Lin Xu has almost eaten by now. Although there is no staple food, the starch content of ingredients such as gluten and crusts is quite high, which makes him feel full.

When he saw his mother-in-law sitting down to eat again, he asked:

"What else do you want to eat? I'll go to the kitchen to prepare some more?"

Han Shuzhen took a piece of skin dregs from Old Shen's bowl:

"I've almost eaten. I just watched your father-in-law keep eating, so I want to share some with him... Lao Shen, you should eat less carbohydrates and more vegetables. Eating too many carbohydrates is not good for blood sugar."

Although Lao Shen does not have diabetes and his uric acid is only slightly higher than normal, he still needs to take precautions and cannot take it lightly.

Many diseases are caused by not paying attention at ordinary times.

As long as you pay more attention, it will not develop to the point of no return.

Chen Yan was full and no longer thought about meat. She drank the last bit of fruit and vegetable juice in the cup, looked at Lin Xu and asked:

"Which of tomorrow's dishes is the most complicated?"

The most complicated?

Lin Xu said without hesitation:

"Flower basket cold dish, this dish not only needs to be made into various flower shapes, but also uses carrots, Xinmei radish, tomato peel and other ingredients to make colorful flowers. In addition, fish rolls must be placed in the flower basket. The fish rolls are

It is made by rolling up fish fillets and other ingredients, and the handles and edges of the flower basket are very troublesome."

The trouble with the flower basket cold dishes is not only the shape and the matching of ingredients, but the most important thing is to cross the boundaries of language and culture and make the guests feel the warmth of welcome.

I have to say that the flower basket of cold dishes did the trick.

Not only did it work, but it also made foreigners never forget it. This dish also became the most artistic dish at the state banquet during Nixon's visit to China. Even the butterfly platter at the Shanghai dinner was compared.

Although the butterfly platter is beautiful, and some people praise Nixon for flapping the butterfly wings to usher in a new chapter of Sino-US exchanges, the meaning of the butterfly is too straightforward and reminds people of the butterfly effect at first glance.

The flower basket with cold dishes is different. As the first course of the banquet, it not only conveys welcome and respect to the guests, but also affirms China's peace-loving stance.

If you come with peace, we will greet you with flower baskets.

If you want to bring other ideas, it's hard to say what we will do to welcome you.

After dinner, everyone chatted in the living room for a while, and then drove home. Lao Shen was also carried to the basement by Han Shuzhen. He would not be able to come out until he had exercised for two hours.

After arriving home, Lin Xu turned on the TV for Dundun and asked the little kid to continue watching Detective Conan. He and Shen Jiayue went to Chen Yan's house and measured the formaldehyde level again.

"Yan Bao, the data are all within the standard range. It's a long way from the warning line. The formaldehyde has been removed very cleanly. Why don't we move here next month and give you a chance to have breakfast."

When Chen Yan saw this message, she originally wanted to say who cares about your breakfast, but then she thought about it and realized that the staff meals in the store were beyond imagination. The meals cooked at home should be more meticulous, so she agreed:

"We will monitor it a few more times. If there are no problems, we will move there."

I haven’t watched the big 110-inch TV in the living room yet, and I haven’t had a chance to play on the newly purchased Steinway. It’s time to give my child some prenatal education.

When Chen Yan made up her mind, Lin Xuye and Shen Jiayue returned home, ready to play games, wash themselves off, and get ready for the state banquet shooting tomorrow!
