After mastering the technique of making sesame cakes, Lin Xu prepared to make stacks of beef without hesitation.

Duo Beef, also called Duo Zi Beef or Beef Duo, uses boiled beef tendons to pile the cooked beef in a container and squeeze it into a bucket-shaped beef stack.

In the past, vendors who sold stacks of beef would often push a wheelbarrow to sell it, so this kind of beef was also called cart beef.

Cut the porcelain-solid beef into thin slices with a knife. It tastes fragrant and chewy.

Sandwiched into the sesame-burning cakes that came out of the new kang, the heat of the cakes will bring out the aroma of the beef again, and it's so delicious to take a bite.

When he was in junior high school, Lin Xu's favorite thing to do was to buy a biscuit with beef in front of a beef stall on the way home from school. Read a book

The hawker will use a special knife to show off his skills by cutting the beef slices off the stack. The slices are so thin that they can even be blown away by the wind.

When the slices are almost done, put the beef slices on the scale and weigh them. Then take a hot hot biscuit from the next door stall and put the beef slices into it.

One sesame seed cake and half a pound of beef. I walked home while eating.

I have basically eaten enough when I get home, and I can happily play computer games in the name of learning English.

Unfortunately, since the streets began to clean up small vendors and improve the appearance of the city, this kind of stacked beef is rarely seen. Occasionally, the shaobing stall that used to be a partner is no longer nearby.

Even if someone buys it, the vendors don't show off their skills like before.

He hurriedly sliced ​​a pile of beef with a knife, checked it on the scale, and quickly bagged it and handed it to the customer, as if the customer regretted not buying it after a few seconds.

"Xubao, what are you thinking about?"

Shen Jiayue, who was off work, saw Lin Xu hugging Dundun and lost in thought. She thought something had happened, so she quickly asked with concern.

When Dundun saw the Great Demon King Yueyue, he immediately jumped on the service desk, then twisted his fat body and ducked into his hut, as if he was afraid that he would be caught if he hid too late.

Lin Xu came back to his senses and said with a smile:

"It's okay, I just remembered the same delicious food I liked to eat when I was in junior high school."

As soon as he heard about the food, Shen Baobao's eyes immediately lit up:

"Then can you give it to me?"

I ate Xubao's favorite food when he was in junior high school. Does this mean we have known each other since junior high school?

If my classmates had been better at that time, I could bully Xu Bao openly. When I missed him, I would find a corner where no one was around, press him against the wall and kiss him.

Hey, if you dare to resist, you will be kissed twice as much!

When he thought of the way he had ravaged Lin Xu in junior high school, Shen Baobao couldn't help but have a domineering smile on his face.

"Yes, this delicacy needs to be made one day in advance. I will make it now."

After saying that, he returned upstairs and ordered to the car boy:

"Call Boss Hu and ask Boss Hu to deliver 50 pounds of beef tendons and 20 pounds of beef tendons. I'm going to use the beef to make a delicacy."

When Chezi heard this, he immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call.

Beef? Beef tendon?

Are you making spiced beef?

Shen Jiayue was a little curious, but did not ask.

Because she didn't care what kind of food it was, she just heard that her Xubao liked to eat it, so she subconsciously wanted to try it.

Not long after, Che Zi hurried downstairs.

A few minutes later, he took the elevator up, and there was a simple trolley next to him, which contained the beef shank and beef tendons that Lin Xu ordered.

"Boss, the beef has been delivered."

When Lin Xu heard this, he immediately poured the beef from the bag into a basin, then added half of the basin of cold water and soaked it.

Stacked beef is different from ordinary braised beef.

For this delicacy, you need to boil the beef in plain water first, then sprinkle it with special seasoning powder, and then put it into a container and press it into shape.

In order to prevent the cooked beef from becoming fishy, ​​it is necessary to soak the blood in the beef as much as possible before cooking.

Only in this way will the meat flavor be rich.

When soaking beef, use a kitchen knife to cut large pieces of meat into small pieces.

This not only facilitates soaking, but also allows for better placement in the container during final pressing.

After finishing these tasks, Lin Xu soaked the tendons again.

In the process of stacking beef, tendons act as an adhesive.

The soaking at this time is naturally not to remove the blood in the tendons, but to stretch the tendons as much as possible, so that they can be cooked through more easily when pressed with a pressure cooker.

"What is my brother-in-law busy with in the kitchen?"

Today, Chen Yan is wearing age-reducing overalls, a ponytail, and white canvas shoes. At first glance, she looks like a newly graduated college student.

"I want to make me the delicacies he ate when he was in junior high school. I don't know what they are."

"Then what do you know?"

"I know that a lonely old man is pretending to be young today... Oh, don't pinch me... Yan Bao, your clothes are so beautiful, you are younger and more fashionable, you look two years younger than me."

The two sisters were having a fight when they saw the driver pulling several boxes of fruit charcoal to the kitchen on a trolley.

"Chezi, what is this?"

"The boss asked for fruit charcoal. He said that to make roast suckling pig tomorrow, we must use high-quality fruit charcoal."

Roast suckling pig?

Chen Yan immediately became energetic.

Unexpectedly, my brother-in-law kept his promise and actually made roast suckling pig.

It is truly the conscience of the whole family.

After Lin Xu finished his work, he washed his hands and walked out of the kitchen. When he saw the big financier Chen Baiwan had got off work, he said:

"Just tell the waiter what you want to eat. I've just had dinner."

Chen Yan asked curiously:

"When will the beef you are playing with be ready, brother-in-law? Can we wait to eat it?"

"Then you can wait a little longer."

"It's okay, just tell me how long it will take to do it?"

"Tomorrow at noon..."

Chen Yan:??????

Brother-in-law, you are starting to be naughty too, right?

She stood up immediately:

"You guys chat, I'll go find Tiantian and refund the card first."

Baobao Shen quickly hugged her:

"Don't retreat, don't retreat, I'm kidding you, Yan Bao, don't forget to eat roast suckling pig tomorrow..."

Naturally, Chen Yan would not really cancel the card. She just wanted the unscrupulous young couple to know that she was now Lin Ji's big benefactor, not the cousin who hated marrying and was disliked everywhere.

7pm.

The store is full of customers.

Lin Xu took the swollen tendons out of the water and poured them into a large pressure cooker.

Then add water to cover the ingredients into the pot.

Cover the pot and start pressing.

As the adhesive for stacking beef, the tendons should be cooked thoroughly, even to the point of being slightly mushy, so that the gaps between the beef pieces can be filled and the beef will taste more chewy and chewy.

After pressing the tendons, Lin Xu changed the water for the beef and continued soaking it.

Taking advantage of this time, he brought a lot of spices, dried chili peppers, salt, MSG and other condiments, and began to make seasoning powder for beef stacking.

No seasonings or spices are added to the beef during the cooking process. Seasoning powder is only sprinkled when it is cooked and put into the container.

It can be said that whether the beef stack tastes good or not is directly related to the seasoning powder.

In the past, the recipe of the powder was a secret that was not passed down from family to family. Even within my own family, it was passed down from male to female, or even only to the eldest son.

I'm afraid it will spread outside.

This directly led to the loss of many secret cooking and seasoning recipes and traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, causing irreparable losses.

Lin Xu took a pot of fried dried products and put it on the stove. He put cinnamon, bay leaves, angelica, white cardamom, grass fruit, pepper, star anise, cloves, fennel and more than a dozen spices into the pot in sequence, and then put In the pot, stir-fry slowly over low heat.

Before the spices are ground into powder, they need to be roasted on the stove to get the fragrance. In this way, the ground powder will have a stronger fragrance. When sprinkled on the beef, the fragrance will penetrate into the beef more easily.

Soon, the aroma of spices wafted out from the pot.

Lin Xu took the pot away from the flame, placed it next to the stove and stir-fried slowly.
