9 a.m.

Lin Xu finished making the colorful horseshoe cake promised to customers.

Together with the brown sugar shaqima made last night, both snacks have been made.

Shaqima has been cut into small pieces with a knife, wrapped in wax paper specially made for wrapping food, and then placed piece by piece in a specially made box.

Last night, Dou Wenjing heard about making Shaqima, so she asked the company's short video photographer to come over and take pictures of the process.

This morning, a one-minute short video was edited and posted on the official account of Linji Food, allowing customers to intuitively see the making process of handmade snacks.

As soon as it was posted, netizens expressed their envy.

"Is it really okay to post this so early in the morning?"

"I'm not a fan of Sachima, but I still drooled after watching it."

"Originally I could lie down until eleven o'clock before getting up, but Shaqima saw that I couldn't help but order a takeaway. Boss Lin is unshirkable responsible for my weight gain!"

"I have no feelings for Shaqima, but this brown sugar looks so tempting. Can I buy it in the store at noon?"

"I heard that there are colorful horseshoe cakes today. Has Boss Lin finally realized that he is a businessman?"

"..."

In the kitchen, looking at these comments, Lin Xu said to the company's photographer:

"Taking advantage of the popularity, please quickly post the video of making the colorful horseshoe cake. From now on, you can try to post a video of the chef cooking every day. The person cooking does not have to be me, it can also be other chefs."

Dou Wenjing, who was drinking pumpkin soup at the side, nodded in agreement and said:

"Okay, okay, we get it...this pumpkin soup is so delicious. I regret moving the company. If it were still across the street, I could come to the store and taste some delicious food when I'm walking around."

Shu Yun smiled:

"It's better to stay away. I've gained a pound in the past few days. It's a sweet burden to meet a boss who is good at making delicious food."

The kitchen is already busy at this moment.

Lin Xuchong said to Shen Baobao and Chen Yan, who were wearing chef uniforms and taking selfies not far away:

"Shall we get started?"

"Okay, okay, I'll be there soon! Master Chen, do you see if I wear my hat correctly?"

"It's worn correctly. Master Shen, please take a look at it for me. Is my hat not crooked?"

The two living treasures were obviously just learning crystal skin jelly. Not only did they ask Shu Yun for a new chef uniform, they even put on the head chef's hat.

After putting it on, the look of a beautiful cook suddenly came out.

The preparation of crystal skin jelly is really simple, and the pig skin I bought this time was shaved by machine, and all the stubble on the outside and the oil under the skin have been scraped off.

So Lin Xu didn't take any action and directly instructed the two of them to start production.

"Take out the pig skin, blanch it briefly and boil it until the pig skin can be penetrated with a chopstick."

Crystal dishes are made by taking advantage of the colloid coagulation characteristics of pig skin.

In addition to the crystal elbows in Shandong cuisine, there are also crystal meat dishes in Huaiyang cuisine, crystal hoof flowers in Sichuan cuisine, etc. Although there are differences in the cooking methods in different places, they are all similar.

Take the blanched pig skin out of the pot, put it in cold water to cool, then use a kitchen knife to scrape off the remaining fat under the skin, and pull out any stubble that has not been removed.

For obsessive-compulsive disorder, this is a very comfortable experience.

Chen Yan took the tweezers in the kitchen and plucked the hair stubble, even thinking of the process of plucking her eyebrows in a beauty salon.

After scraping and cleaning, put the pig skin back into hot water to wash off the impurities on the surface, then control the moisture and start shredding.

"This pig skin is like a rubber band, which cut is better, Xu Bao?"

The reason why Lin Xu taught the two of them how to make crystal skin jelly was because of their poor cooking skills. Unexpectedly, the two of them were so poor that they even had difficulty cutting vegetables. They didn't even know how to use a kitchen knife.

He said:

"It's really hard to cut the pig skin when it's flat. You can roll the pig skin up and cut it, so that it can be cut finely and well."

Lin Xu gave them a demonstration and taught them the correct way to hold a knife. Finally, the two stupid apprentices mastered the trick of using a kitchen knife.

"Wow, it's so easy to roll and cut, it's amazing!"

"Yes, cooking is indeed broad and profound. I, Chef Chen, still have a lot to learn."

"I, Chef Shen, are the same. I have to learn with an open mind so that my cooking can flourish."

It didn't take long for Lin Xu to master this cutting method.

When he was learning how to make steamed seabass, under the guidance of his master, Uncle Gao, he learned how to cut the green onions, take out the core, then roll them up and shred them.

This method can not only be used to cut green onions and pig skins, but also can be used to cut kelp, dried tofu, fried bean skin and other flaky ingredients.

After the pig skin is cut.

In order to make the crystal effect better, you need to put the pig skin into a basin, add salt, alkaline noodles and hot water and rub it repeatedly.

This step can completely wash away the impurities on the surface of the pig skin, so that the resulting skin jelly will be as transparent as crystal, and it will also make the pig skin whiter and more tender.

After scrubbing for two minutes, the hot water in the basin has become turbid.

Pour in clean water again and wash repeatedly until the water in the basin becomes crystal clear and no longer turbid.

Then drain the water, put the shredded pork skin into a porcelain basin, pour half a basin of mountain spring water, add onion, ginger and salt, cover it and put it into a steaming cabinet for steaming.

"Why use mountain spring water?"

"This can make the skin jelly more transparent."

After Lin Xu finished speaking, he took his mobile phone and looked at the message from his mother.

She and her father set off from their hometown at five o'clock in the morning. They are already halfway through the journey and are expected to arrive in the capital around three o'clock in the afternoon.

After reading the news, he said to Wei Qian:

"My parents will come around three o'clock. Leave some food in the kitchen so that you don't have nothing to eat then."

"Don't worry, I will never let my uncle and aunt go hungry."

One hour later.

The pork skin has been thoroughly steamed.

Carefully take the porcelain basin containing the pig skin out of the steaming cabinet. After opening the lid, a unique aroma of pork wafts out from the basin.

Carefully pick off the onions and ginger. The water in the basin is still crystal clear. The pig skin has swollen slightly and its color has turned white.

"Can this really set? Do you want to add some agar?"

As a self-proclaimed fruit cheese expert, Shen Jiayue was a little doubtful whether these skin jelly could solidify because it looked too clear, like a basin of cold water.

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"Don't worry, it will definitely solidify, but if it solidifies like this, it won't look good. I'll teach you a way to improve it."

He brought some white porcelain bowls, wiped them dry, and placed two blanched broccoli flowers upside down at the bottom of the bowls.

Then use chopsticks to carefully remove some of the pig skin from the pot and place it around the broccoli, as loosely as possible, then scoop up the clear water in the pot and pour it on until it is eighty full.

In addition to broccoli, you can also put some red pepper shreds or radish slices in this kind of skin jelly. After solidification, these ingredients will become much more beautiful.

Lin Xu instructed the two of them to put the skin jelly in a bowl to make a bowl of jelly like a crystal elbow, then put it in the cold storage and wait for it to cool down and solidify.

"The techniques for crystal dishes are all here. You two can practice more and add more tricks when serving them in the bowl, such as putting braised chicken feet to make crystal chicken feet, or putting blanched autumn leaves in. You can make crystal okra from sunflower."

When Shen Baobao heard this, his eyes immediately lit up:

"Can we make crystal bitter melon?"

Lin Xu: "..."

Last time I learned about fruit cheese, you made bitter melon cheese. Now I just learned how to make crystal jelly and want to make crystal bitter melon. Baby, you are so filial...

"Theoretically, it's possible, but I don't recommend it, otherwise I won't care if your parents beat you up."

"Hahahaha, don't worry, I'm just asking."

It’s okay if mom and dad don’t like bitter melon.

However, my grandpa often says that eating bitter melon is good for health, so he will like the crystal bitter melon I made by myself, right?

I will secretly make it at home when I find time to give grandpa a surprise!

Baby Shen thought happily.

Mr. Han, who was checking the patient's examination report at the Jishuitan expert clinic, didn't know yet that he had been targeted by his granddaughter.

Before lunch, Lin Xu taught two chefs how to make steamed eggs.

Compared with crystal skin jelly, which takes too long to cook, steamed eggs, a short, quick and easy-to-show dish, are welcomed by Master Shen and Master Chen.

The two of them often ate the dishes cooked by Lin Xu, and even came up with their own innovations in the steps of adding oil.
