"Brother, this afternoon I’m going to adjust the equipnt for making hot drinks. If you’re not busy, would you like to co over and guide the work?"
Lin Xu took a bite of the hairtail and said to Xie Baomin.
Even though he had mastered the technique, having the head chef of the State Banquet there made him feel more confident.
Today’s pairing with the hairtail was stir-fried morning glory with ham.
Chop the Jinhua Ham into minced at, stir-fry it until fragrant, then add the cleaned morning glory to stir-fry together. The fragrance of the ham is absorbed by the morning glory, making it delicious and a great side with rice.
Xie Baomin, while eating the morning glory, said:
"Sure, I’m free, so let’s go have a look at the Shengjian Bun kitchen... This morning glory is stir-fried nicely, ideally use dripping oil or a Chinese thod to stir-fry it, without any seasoning needed."
"Dripping oil" is the part at the bottom after the ham is hung, rich in fat, and quite salty, usually used in soups or, as today, chopped into fragnts for stir-frying.
The richness of the ham complents the freshness of the morning glory, making it tasty and appetizing with rice.
Although there were only two dishes for lunch today, the portions were ample, and the taste was good, so everyone was happy.
Shu Yun remarked thoughtfully:
"I originally thought my taste had been spoiled by Fishing Platform, and I’d lose weight after leaving. Who knew, I’ve already gained five pounds since starting work at Lin Ji."
Zhu Yong took a bite of rice:
"It seems like everyone except Wei Qian has gained weight."
Wei Qian showed off his biceps:
"I may look slimr, but my weight hasn’t dropped much. It all turned into muscle... I feel a lot more agile than before. Maybe everyone should try exercising a bit too."
Zhu Yong curled his lips:
"We said you’re fat, and you still try to justify it. Aren’t you still lagging far behind Tiantian? Let’s see if you can catch up."
Wei Qian imdiately lost his temper:
"We’re not competing or anything, it’s just exercise... Lin Xu, this hairtail is delicious. Will it be in the store soon?"
Lin Xu shook his head:
"We’ve had too many fish dishes lately, so we’ll wait a bit. Besides, this isn’t even the tastiest way to cook hairtail. If you stew it well and let it soak for a few hours, it will be even better in taste and texture."
In many Northern regions, there are similar hairtail dishes, eaten cold as a drinking snack, hot as a rice dish, a typical dish enjoyed both cold and hot.
"This hairtail is really great, no longer afraid of Yan Bao tricking into eating fish bones."
Shen Baobao was very satisfied with today’s lunch, not just the taste of the hairtail. Most importantly, the fish bones were as tender and soft as the at, feeling like there were no bones at all when eaten.
Even the backbone of the hairtail was tender enough to crumble with a gentle bite.
"Brother, how do you make crispy chicken?"
Thinking about how he couldn’t prepare two of the Four Crispy Dishes of the Palace, Lin Xu planned to ask Xie Baomin during the al. After learning the thod, he could try it himself next ti.
"It’s simple. Cut open the back of a fresh whole chicken, removing the head and neck. Pound the side with the skin twice, breaking the bones and at. Marinate it for a while, steam it until thorough, remove the bones, coat it in egg batter, and deep-fry it thoroughly."
It doesn’t sound all that troubleso.
Lin Xu decided to try it when he had so ti later.
Xie Baomin said:
"Last Sunday, when I took the kids to school, they wanted fried chicken. I’ll bring them over to the store to make it this weekend. It’s inconvenient at Fishing Platform, and the stove at ho isn’t powerful enough. Here, it’s just right, plus Lele can help them with lessons."
That’s wonderful.
Used to Western-style fried chicken, I’m a bit excited to see how the texture and taste of Chinese-style fried chicken will be.
After the al, the shop entered a busy state.
Shen Baobao opened her laptop to upload the finished video.
The video was quite long because the part where the "Moonlight Sonata" was played wasn’t heavily edited. It wasn’t to show off piano skills but to showcase Dundun’s musicality and reactions.
For example, during the first movent, with its soothing music, Dundun lay leisurely on the piano, eyes slightly squinted, tail tip gently swaying to the rhythm, like a good baby enjoying a lullaby.
The second movent was relatively short, with the little one just stretching and yawning twice.
But when it reached the third movent, where the tempo suddenly sped up, the little one’s emotions were equally heightened.
Its round head kept gently swaying to the rhythm, sotis nodding slightly, as if it felt the emotions in the music.
Almost every piano student can play the "Moonlight Sonata," but few cats like Dundun have such a feel for music.
Once the video was uploaded, it didn’t take long for the comnts section to explode.
Chaikefu the Chicken Tearer: Oh no, as a music major, I’ve been outdone by a cat.
Caribbean Kelp: Damn, I thought Dundun was just an actor outshining young idols last ti. I didn’t expect his musical skills to be strong too.
Proud to be a Dundun fan: I can’t even understand this piece, yet Dundun seems so engrossed in it.
Sorry, I’m the Police: I watched the boss lady play the piano the entire ti and didn’t even notice Dundun.
My Abs Have rged: Sa as above, I was watching the piano play the whole ti. It feels even better than my piano teacher.
You Mozart, Very Painful: I didn’t expect that besides being financially capable, the boss lady could play the piano so beautifully. No wonder she could win over my male idol.
Blind Taxi Driver: This scene calls for a picture with Dundun to fish for so likes. [Image]
