Stop pretending, I am the God of Cooking and I am showing off my cards! - Chapter 810 Delicious hollow noodles! Do you know what the eight kinds of eight-flavored small dishe

“Xubao, what are you eating today?”

At 6:30 in the morning, Shen Jiayue came downstairs sleepily wearing little yellow duck pajamas. Seeing Lin Xu busy in the kitchen, she couldn’t help but ask.

“The hollow noodles I bought last time have arrived. I’ll cook some noodles.”

As Lin Xu spoke, he took out a package of exquisite hollow noodles from the cupboard.

Shen Jiayue bought this from the Internet. It was said that it tasted delicious and was not easy to cook, so she placed an order and bought some.

It doesn’t matter if you’re not good at hand-rolling noodles, we can use our skills. This is Shen Jiayue’s cooking motto.

But after the noodles arrived, it happened to be in time for the filming of the state banquet, so there was a delay.

With nothing to do today, Lin Xu planned to make some to try. The last time he went back, he originally planned to make some handmade noodles in his hometown to feel the charm of traditional noodles.

But because I was too busy, I never took it into consideration, so I had to give up.

The method of hand-made noodles is very particular. After the noodles are mixed, let them rest for a period of time, then roll them into strips, continue to roll them to relax, and finally roll them on a crossbar and hang them on the eaves or other places with better ventilation.

Thread a wooden stick through the plated noodles, slowly pull it until the thick noodles are thinned, and then continue to hang the noodles to dry in the sun. The noodles produced in this way are called dried noodles.

During the production process, the noodles will become hollow in the middle due to fermentation. This kind of noodles is the hollow noodles that once shined in “Tiangue”.

There are many people making this kind of handmade noodles across the country. They are found in many places such as northern Shaanxi, southern Yunnan, and southern Anhui. Whenever it is the season for making noodles, every household is busy drying the noodles. The hanging noodles look like they have arrived. The dyeing workshop of the old society.

Lin Xu didn’t have time to experience the fun of making hollow noodles, but he still had time to cook them.

Cut the pork belly into small dices, soak the sour bamboo shoots and squeeze out the water. Cut them into small dices as well, then cut into diced garlic sprouts, green bamboo shoots and carrots.

Everything is ready. Heat the oil in a pan. Stir-fry the pig fat first, then add some chopped peppers, stir-fry the sour bamboo shoots in red oil, and stir-fry the sour bamboo shoots. Finally, add all the remaining ingredients into the pan. In, add some water and simmer briefly to make a noodle topping.

Prepare the toppings and put them into a small basin. When the noodles are cooked, add a spoonful of them. Add some chopped peppers and pickled beans. Not to mention how delicious it will be.

Shen Jiayue was shocked when she smelled the sour aroma in the kitchen:

“No, I have to go upstairs and dance for a while, otherwise I won’t be able to eat too many noodles. Isn’t this a loss?”

Lin Xu smiled helplessly. It was just a matter of eating less. How did it feel like he had suffered a huge loss?

He washed some rapeseed and made some fried peanuts and fried soybeans as toppings.

Recently, I have become accustomed to eating southern food. Lin Xu also likes to add some peanuts and soybeans when eating noodles or noodles. This not only enriches the taste, but also makes the food more delicious.

After everything was done, he set up the soup pot, added half of the pot of water, turned it on over high heat, and prepared to cook the noodles.

While waiting for the water to boil, I steamed some chicken breast and a small piece of pumpkin for Dundun.

After steaming, grind the pumpkin into puree and mix it with diced chicken breast. This will become the cats’ favorite pumpkin mixed with diced meat.

Although cats are carnivores, they occasionally need to supplement some crude fiber foods to moisten their intestines, and the first choice for such foods is pumpkin.

This is not only because pumpkin contains a lot of dietary fiber and crude fiber, but most importantly, cats like to eat pumpkin flavor.

Yesterday, Dundun almost finished two portions of steamed bullfrog with egg yolk. Her belly was as full as Gong Biao, and the mighty and domineering handsome cat suddenly became a little greasier.

Since the little guy has symptoms of overeating, I will make him some pumpkin to clear his intestines today.

Lin Xu placed the steamed pumpkin puree mixed with diced meat on a small wooden table outside the kitchen, and a small gray-blue figure immediately appeared.

“Meow~~~~”

The little guy wasn’t too hungry today, so he nuzzled Lin Xu politely, then slowly sat down and started eating like a gentleman.

Lin Xu was speechless and laughed:

“The warehouse knows etiquette. Our ancestors’ words apply not only to humans, but also to cats.”

When I was hungry, I gorged myself without any sign of eating, but now I am calm and elegant.

At this time, the water in the pot had also boiled. He returned to the kitchen, opened the package of the hollow noodles, and looked at the cross section. It was indeed hollow.

Put the noodles into the pot, shake them up with chopsticks, wait for the water in the pot to boil, put the washed rapeseed into it, and use a spoon to flip the vegetables down. The water in the pot will stop boiling immediately.

Lin Xu brought two empty bowls, waited for the pot to boil again, poured a spoonful of cold water, and then used a large colander to take out the noodles and vegetables and put them into the bowls.

After serving, pour a spoonful of toppings into two bowls, and then sprinkle a small spoonful of fried soybeans and peanuts.

While he was busy, Shen Jiayue jumped downstairs:

“Haha, I just said that we have a good connection. Isn’t that right?”

Lin Xu: “…”

I prefer to believe that you were attracted by greed.

He placed two large bowls of noodles on the dining table, along with a plate of small pickles and a plate of small pickles.

“Come on, let’s eat.”

Shen Jiayue came over happily, holding the bowl and smelling it, with an intoxicated expression on her face:

“Wow, this sour smell is so tempting!”

Use chopsticks to stir the noodles, pick them up, blow on them, and put them into your mouth eagerly.

The noodles are very smooth, and it feels like eating rice noodles. In addition to being smooth, it is also a bit chewier than rice noodles. Paired with the spicy and sour toppings, it is really enjoyable.

After one sip, it feels super comfortable, and I feel like all the pores in my body are open.

“Wow, it’s delicious. This noodle is beyond my understanding of pasta. It’s so delicious!”

Shen Jiayue didn’t care about scalding it and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Lin Xu also thinks this side is good, especially with the sour bamboo shoots in the toppings, which makes people unable to stop eating.

No wonder some people would rather spend a lot of money to buy hollow noodles. This stuff is indeed more delicious than machine-made noodles.

Especially the smooth and chewy texture, one sip will immediately whet your appetite.

“How about we eat noodles tomorrow?”

Today had just begun, and Shen Jiayue began to miss tomorrow’s breakfast.

Lin Xu naturally had no objection. He smiled and said:

“Okay, as long as you like to eat, it’s okay to do it every day.”

Not long after, breakfast was over.

Shen Jiayue was a little full after eating, but felt that it was not enough and wanted to have more.

Lin Xu said:

“Save some food in your stomach. There are so many delicious foods today. Maybe you will regret eating too much in the morning at noon.”

Shen Jiayue didn’t take it seriously at first. What could be as delicious as this delicious hollow noodles?

But thinking that his Xubao never spoke big words, he asked curiously:

“Have I tasted more than half of those dishes? Is there anything else delicious?”

Lin Xu smiled:

“Not to mention anything else, the eight-flavored small plate alone is enough for you to taste.”

After he said this, Shen Jiayue reacted:

“I wanted to ask you yesterday, what exactly is Bawei Xiaodian? I specifically searched the Internet and found no useful information.”

Lin Xu carefully gave her some popular science:

“The eight-flavored small dishes refer to eight small portions of cold dishes, namely: crispy smoked fish, sauce-flavored beef, glutinous rice and lotus root, osmanthus yam, refreshing cucumber, sweet and sour radish, cold stingray head, salted duck liver…are you there? Want something to eat?”

Shen Jiayue opened her mouth:

“No need to ask? I want to try everything.”

Since there was delicious food for lunch, she had no choice but to reluctantly give up and put her reluctance on noodles instead of her longing for lunch.

By this time Dundun had also finished eating the steamed pork. Lin Xu tidied up the kitchen, and the family of three went downstairs and drove back to the store.

Just as he was about to put Dundun in the store, Uncle Sun drove over and said:

“Dundun, I’m going fishing. This time I’m going to another reservoir. It’s said that it hasn’t been cleared in more than ten years. Do you want to challenge the big fish with me?”

Lin Xu wanted to laugh a little. Did he get the bonus of fishing with Dundun?

Dundun was very interested. It jumped out of Shen Jiayue’s arms and drove onto Lao Suntou’s Tank 300. It was also squatting in the co-pilot’s seat, looking like a commander.

Upon seeing this, Lin Xu went to the store to pack some dried meat for Dundun, and also packed braised meat and a few sesame seed cakes for Lao Suntou, and then watched the fishing pair leave.

“Why does Uncle Sun always take Dundun with him?”

Shen Jiayue was a little confused.

Lin Xu smiled and said:

“If you can catch fish with Dundun, you become superstitious. Fishing people especially believe in metaphysics.”

Now that Dundun has gone out to play, the young couple no longer has to worry about whether to let Dundun stay in the store or go to Yanjing Hotel.

After walking around the store and confirming that there was nothing wrong, he drove to Yanjing Hotel.

As soon as I parked the car, I met Ye Lixin who was coming to work.

“Good morning, Director Lin. Are you still going to be filming the state banquet today?”

“Yes, I will appear on the scene. After the filming of the banquet during Nixon’s visit to China, Uncle Qiu will be in charge. I will take a break with my master and brother.”

There will be a series of state banquets next, such as the state banquet of Tanaka Kakuei’s visit to China, the state banquet for the 20th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the celebration banquet for the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, etc. Master Lin Xu and his apprentice could not take pictures of all of them, and they had to give other master chefs a chance to show their faces.

The division of labor for these state banquets has already been clearly defined, and everyone only needs to follow the steps to shoot.

Ye Lixin said:

“I heard that Diaoyutai is also planning to promote you from supervisor to director. You and Lao Liao are nominally at the same level. When there is an executive meeting, if you want to talk to him back if he doesn’t like it, don’t be polite to him.”

Lin Xu:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

I have no intention of seizing power, so why should I fight with Director Liao like this?

After a second thought, he realized that this was the position given to the director by Yanjing Hotel at that time, and now Diaoyutai also followed suit, which made Mr. Ye a little unhappy.

After thinking about this, he smiled and said:

“I’m not very interested in these, and Director Liao finally surrendered the eighteen Yamas, so I’m too lazy to get involved.”

The executive chefs of Diaoyutai are not fuel-efficient lamps, so they cannot wade into muddy waters.

Ye Lixin laughed:

“Yes, yes, forget about those eighteen kings of hell. Let Lao Liao have a headache from now on. Don’t get involved.”

After chatting for a few words, Ye Lixin hurriedly went upstairs for the morning meeting, while Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue went to the shooting scene.

“Xubao, why is Mr. Ye telling you this?”

“You must have heard some rumors. Tell me in advance. It will make it appear that Yanjing Hotel and I are our own people, and it will also test my attitude towards this matter.”

“Well…the salary for this position is just that, so what’s there to worry about?”

But the title of director sounds good. Looking back, maybe he can be called a famous Chinese chef like master and senior brother.

It’s a pity that there are no major events now, so Lin Xu can’t qualify for the state banquet.

Otherwise, with his connections, it would not be difficult to get the position of head chef at a state banquet. With this qualification, if you work hard for a few years, you can easily get the title of a famous Chinese chef.

“Xubao, you will become a famous Chinese chef in the future, will you stop making breakfast for me?”

“No way, I have to work harder, otherwise you secretly expose on the Internet that I can’t even make breakfast, and my character will fall apart immediately.”

Shen Jiayue: “!!!!!!!!!!!”

That’s right… I have countermeasures in hand.

Hum hum, stinky Xu Bao, let’s see if you dare not cook for me in the future!

Lin Xu held her hand and said:

“Don’t talk about this life, even in the next life, and even the next life after that, I will cook for you.”

“Thank you Xubao, Mua~~~~”

Shen Jiayue hugged Lin Xu’s face and kissed her, and Chen Yan’s voice came from not far away:

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, it’s like this so early in the morning, can’t you two pay attention to the impact?”

The two turned around and saw Chen Yan holding pancakes and fruits to eat. Zeng Xiaoqi next to her was holding a meal bag from Ziqiang Shengjian, eating the pancakes in small bites, and holding a soy milk cup in her hand.

Shen Jiayue asked curiously:

“Why don’t you two go to the store to have breakfast?”

Zeng Xiaoqi put the remaining fried food into her mouth:

“Sister Yan couldn’t sleep in the morning, so she called me up before six o’clock to go to the company to talk about future development. After the chat, I found that it was past eight o’clock, so I bought some food and came here to prepare for the shooting.”

What two workaholics… Shen Jiayue muttered in her heart, and then talked about the hollow noodles she had eaten in the morning.

After hearing this, Chen Yan looked at the pancakes in her hands:

“I didn’t think it tasted good at first, but now that you say that, I can’t eat it even more… No, no, no, I have to move there quickly. I feel like I’m missing out on a lot of delicious food if I’m late.”

She was not interested in noodles, but what Lin Xu made was different.

Yesterday’s vegetarian hot pot is still fresh in my mind, and today’s noodles should be more delicious, but it’s a pity… But it’s okay. If I can’t sleep tomorrow morning, I’ll drive to my cousin’s house to eat.

Well, it makes sense for me to come back and look at my own house, right?

Isn’t it reasonable to drop by your house after reading this?

When I visit you and I meet you cooking noodles, is it reasonable for me to serve you two big bowls of noodles in a gentle manner?

Chen Yan was eating pancakes and craving for noodles like a planner.

Not long after, staff arrived one after another.

Lin Xu also saw the main ingredient for making flower basket cold dishes – a six-pound large yellow croaker.

“Damn, such a big yellow croaker? It’s not cheap, is it?”

Lao Dai heard that today’s flower basket and hors d’oeuvres were being photographed, so he came over to join in the fun. When he saw Lao Huang taking out a golden large yellow croaker, he couldn’t help but join in.

Qiu Zhenhua said:

“There is no way. The state banquet used to use large yellow croaker, and now we can only keep up. I guess the seniors didn’t expect that the yellow croaker, which was not very valuable in the past, has become astronomically expensive now.”

Lao Huang said while checking the number of ingredients with the staff:

“This large yellow flower is cultivated, not wild, and is relatively cheap.”

Chen Yan didn’t understand this and asked curiously:

“Can it taste the same?”

Xie Baomin weighed the big yellow croaker:

“It’s exactly the same. This is a hyped thing. The price is so much more expensive than grouper. It’s really incomprehensible.”

Even the cultured rhubarb is actually cultured in offshore cages. The fish grown in this culture environment are naturally no different from wild fish.

Not long after, the ingredients were checked and the staff debugged the equipment and started recording.

After the filming started, Lin Xu took a piece of herring body and started making smoked fish, Xie Baomin started making soy beef, and Uncle Gao took a short and thick glutinous lotus root and started making glutinous rice lotus root.

The first thing I started today was the eight-flavored small dish. This kind of dish is easier to put together, so it’s no problem to prepare it in advance.

As for other dishes, they have to be adjusted according to time.

Uncle Gao cut the lotus root open and poured water inside to clean it. After confirming that there was no sludge, he started pouring soaked glutinous rice into it.

While he was busy, he told Xie Baomin:

“After the beef sauce is served, marinate the whole chicken first and soak a few lotus leaves in it.”

“Okay Master.”

Beggar’s chicken needs to be marinated for more than two hours in advance, otherwise it will not be easy to taste, so you need to start in advance to avoid the chicken not being ready when it is served in the afternoon.

After the glutinous rice and lotus root were cooked, Uncle Gao took the yam and put it in the steaming cabinet.

Osmanthus yam is the simplest dish. Peel the steamed yam, cut it into small pieces and place it on a plate, then pour some osmanthus honey on it.

It’s so simple that even Shen Jiayue can make it easily.

As for the refreshing cucumbers, sweet and sour radish, cold stingrays, and salted duck liver, they are actually not difficult to prepare, but they all require time to process.

For example, cucumbers should be cut into segments with a coir raincoat knife. This is not only convenient for pickling, but also allows for better presentation when serving.

The radish also needs to be cut into thick slices with a knife, that is, cut the radish into strips first, then pick up the kitchen knife and cut every one millimeter. When it is about to cut, stop the knife, and then start to make the next cut.

After four or five cuts, cut off the radish.

This kind of radish is more delicious and tastes more crispy and layered. This kind of sweet and sour radish is often served as a refreshing side dish at high-end banquets.

Shen Jiayue sat aside, seeing that it would take some time for the delicious food to be made, and played with her phone boredly.

Like netizens’ comments, reply to some interesting comments, and use memes and jokes to interact with familiar netizens.

While she was busy, Chen Yan suddenly sat over, patted her shoulder gently, and pointed to the shooting scene.

Shen Jiayue blinked:

“What’s wrong?”

“Uncle Gao is starting to take care of that big yellow croaker.”

Shen Jiayue, who was immersed in the online interaction, did not react for a while:

“What happened to the big yellow croaker? Don’t all fish need to be cleaned up?”

Chen Yan hated the fact that iron cannot become steel and said:

“Let’s start making the flower basket cold dishes. Aren’t you curious about this dish?”

Only then did Shen Jiayue understand, and her mouth suddenly opened:

“Wow, Xu Bao said this dish is more beautiful than flowers… No, I have to learn it up close.”

Chen Yan opened her mouth:

“I’m not trying to hit you, Yueyue. Even if you squat down on the chopping board and observe this kind of high-level dish, you won’t be able to learn it at all, right?”

Shen Jiayue whispered:

“It doesn’t matter if you can’t learn it. As long as you understand the steps and the production process, I can brag about this dish to netizens later.”

Chen Yan: “…”

Your idea is great, but I don’t think you can even read it.
