Chapter 373 Can a birthday gift also match the theme? Happy 30th birthday, Mr. Chen!(1/2)

 "Welcome!"

Shen Baobao, who was wearing a Cerebellum Ax one-piece pajamas, opened the door and saw Ren Jie carrying a box of imported fruits and two live sea fish, and asked curiously:

"Come here, why do you bring food? Are you afraid that the food will not be enough?"

Chen Yan said:

"Your brother-in-law doesn't think it's appropriate to come empty-handed. The fruit is for you two, and the fish is for Dundun...Dundun, come and let your aunt hug you and eat our fish. You must keep your uncle safe and sound."



Dundun: "..."

Good guy, that’s such a big request for two fishes.

It’s okay if you don’t want to eat this fish!

The little guy snorted and continued to eat his tuna.

Ren Jie smiled and said:

"Still as cold as ever."

He put on his slippers, stretched out his hand to rub Dundun's head, and then raised the two fish in his hand in front of Dundun:

"This is a live fish, baby, are you really not interested?"

Dundun glanced at it and was immediately attracted by the two fish in the bag.

The little guy raised his hand and hit the fish on the head through the plastic bag. The fish inside suddenly swung wildly, and Dundun wagged his tail happily, as if he had discovered a fun game.

In the kitchen, Lin Xu learned that Chen Yan and Ren Jie were coming, so he used the ingredients at home to make an emergency dish of three-wire fried beans, pan-fried fish bream and braised mutton.

Three-wire fried beans is a typical Northeastern snack. It is made by mixing fried peanuts and coriander and onion shreds with sugar, salt and chili evenly, then adding fried potato shreds.

The dish mixed in this way is crispy with peanuts, crispy potato shreds, and full of freshness on onions and coriander.

Coupled with the sweet, sour and spicy taste, it makes people have endless aftertaste.

In the Northeast, this is a classic old dish, but there are not many restaurants where you can eat it, because this dish is too troublesome. The shredded potatoes must be freshly fried, and they must be served quickly after frying and mixing well, otherwise the shredded potatoes will be

It will soften.

The more demanding ones also require that the shredded potatoes must be fried in new oil without any fried ingredients, so that the color will be good.

It's so troublesome, and it's just a cold dish. The effort is not proportional to the income, so naturally fewer and fewer restaurants are willing to make it.

The ingredients are limited tonight, and there are some coriander stalks and onion shreds left over from the fried roast lamb I just made, so I just took them with me to avoid wasting ingredients.

As for the fish bream, it is readily available, because this pickled fish can be stored in the refrigerator for a long time.

Cut it into thin slices and fry it in hot oil to bring out the fresh flavor of the fish. It goes well with wine.

To stir-fry mutton, remove the fascia from the unused mutton ridge and cut it into thin slices, and blanch it with hot water until it is raw.

Put it into a basin, pour in the remaining sesame sauce from making sesame sauce pancakes, then add minced green onions, garlic and onions and cilantro. Finally, add minced garlic and chili noodles, pour hot oil on top, stir evenly, and you will be instantly entertained.

Experience the joy of boiling mutton.

It’s even more satisfying than eating hotpot mutton, because the mutton is a big plate full, and it’s much more enjoyable to eat than the mutton that’s been boiled in a hurry.

Several dishes were placed on the dining table. Lin Xu looked at Ren Jie and asked:

"What does brother-in-law drink?"

"Let's have some beer, but I can't drink more. I have to go to work tomorrow, so I can have a day and a night of rest the day after tomorrow."

Lin Xu took out two bottles of dark beer from the refrigerator.

After opening it, I poured two glasses.

Chen Yan couldn't drink because she had to drive, so she took a bite of the sesame seed cake, and her eyes suddenly filled with little stars:

"Yes, this is sesame sesame pancake. The one I just ate at the barbecue restaurant was a frozen semi-finished product. It didn't taste like sesame sauce and it wasn't crispy at all."

She followed Shen Baobao's example, tearing the sesame seed cakes open from the middle and stuffing some fried roast mutton inside. To prevent greasiness, she also stuffed some three-wire fried beans into it.

After filling it up, I took a bite of the sesame cakes with both hands. The crispiness of the sesame cakes and the rich aroma of sesame sauce, coupled with the aroma of the dishes, made Mr. Chen regret eating barbecue immediately after one bite.

It would have been great to drive here directly and save yourself from eating a lot of synthetic products.

The sesame cakes are semi-finished, and the meat is most likely synthetic meat. Relatively speaking, it’s Lin Ji’s food that you can eat with confidence.

Although the price is a bit higher, we don’t cheat, we use whatever ingredients are needed, we don’t cheat, and we don’t do ruthless technology.

Ren Jie took a bite of the stir-fried roast mutton made by Lin Xu and said to Chen Yan:

"It's definitely better than the barbecue we eat. Come to Lin Xu, let's go one by one."

His arm was no longer hanging, but it was still wrapped with gauze and he couldn't use force. Even when he was holding the cup, he put down his tachyon and touched Lin Xu with his right hand.

This is not because he is being hypocritical, but because he wants the gunshot wound to heal quickly.

Now the boss takes care of it and just does some back office work. But as a criminal police officer, you can't just do back office work. You have to be involved in the situation.

The weather is getting colder, and all kinds of crimes in Beijing have reached a peak period.

Because compared to summer, there are fewer people on the streets in winter, and the doors and windows of every house are closed and relatively soundproof. Even if criminals make some noise, they will not attract the public's attention.

And as the New Year approaches, criminals will take risks and prepare for a big fight.

"The capital is so safe, but are there so many criminals?"

Shen Baobao’s question made Ren Jie happy:

"There are so many, and fugitives from other places always like to come to the capital to push, especially those who have given up hope in life and the future. They always want to come to the capital to do something big... Around the National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival, just the railway

The police have arrested 20 or 30 fugitives. Earlier, during the Hundred Days Operation, they arrested more than 100 fugitives."

In addition to fugitives, there are more thieves, robbers and other criminals and gangs that need to be uncovered by Ren Jie and his colleagues.

"Thank you for your hard work, brother-in-law, let's go one more time."

Lin Xu and Ren Jie clinked their glasses again, and then tasted the mutton mixed with soy sauce. The taste was surprisingly good.

Especially the mutton covered in sesame sauce, when mixed with the hot chili oil, the taste is incredible.

"Brother-in-law, did you put soy tofu in this sesame sauce?"

"Yes, when I mixed the mutton just now, I mixed some soybean curd into the sesame sauce. Unfortunately, I don't have chive sauce at home, otherwise the taste of this dish would be even more perfect."

Sauce tofu can enrich the aroma of sesame sauce, while chive sauce can bring out the umami flavor of mutton.

This is also an essential ingredient when eating hotpot mutton.

"It's delicious. By the way, what are your plans for the future, brother-in-law? I plan to learn how to make sesame biscuits from you and make them by myself in the future. I will never eat those frozen products again."

After my sister-in-law found a partner, she became more and more like a good wife and mother.

Lin Xu said:

"After your birthday, I have to go to Diaoyutai to learn ramen for a few days. By the way, I will learn eight treasure gourd duck, soft pocket long fish and other dishes from Mr. Xie in Building 6. At the end of the month, senior brother will also make a dish created by my master.

Dishes... Let’s wait until all these things are finished. I won’t be able to spare much time in the near future.”

"Master's homemade dish? Is it difficult to prepare water hibiscus?"

Baby Shen became interested as soon as he heard about the homemade dishes.

"Clear water hibiscus is not worth mentioning in front of that dish. This is a dish that requires extremely high requirements for both white and red eucalyptus. Even my senior brother can't make it. I have to cooperate with Chef Yin in Building 12.



When Lin Xu said this, the other three people all showed surprised expressions.

Even the most powerful head chef at Diaoyutai can’t make it, so this must be such a difficult dish.

"Can I make it new in the store?"

"Definitely not. Not to mention whether Diaoyutai allows it or not, how many people can afford it if the cost is so high?"

A few people continued to eat and drink, finishing all four dishes, and only two sesame sauce pancakes were left.

After eating and drinking, Chen Yan took Ren Jie back, while Lin Xu carried the sleeping Dundun to his room, covered him with a small blanket, and then went back to the master bedroom with Baby Shen, washed up and went to bed.

Sunday afternoon.

Chen Yan’s birthday party is finally here.

Lin Xu hung the roasted whole lamb ordered by Chen Yan on the oven early, and then began to pack the two large herrings sent by Lao Huang.

Today's dishes are very comprehensive. In addition to roasted lamb and roasted suckling pig, there are also dishes such as roasted water and five-spice smoked fish that everyone has been craving for since last time.

Chen Yan wears the same couple's sweatshirt, couple's jeans, and couple's casual shoes as Ren Jie, with a posture of "I'm going to spread my dog's food even if the king of heaven comes here."

"We want to eat delicious food, not dog food!"

Single dog Zeng Xiaoqi had been waiting for a table in the store early. When she saw the couple going upstairs, she suddenly felt that the originally fresh air had a sour smell.

When Chen Yan saw Director Zeng, she immediately came over:

"Little Qiqi, what gifts have you prepared for your sister?"

Zeng Xiaoqi took out a box from her bag:

"Open it yourself."

Chen Yan was just joking at first, but she didn't expect that Zeng Xiaoqi actually prepared a gift, and it was also packed in a wooden box, which looked very delicate.

She thanked her and opened it immediately, a hint of surprise flashed across her face.

Inside the box was actually a set of clay sculptures, and the content was of a little policeman standing in front of a pancake stall, communicating with a woman wearing a chef's uniform and a chef's hat.



At this glance, you can tell that this is the scene of meeting Ren Jie for the first time.

"Thank you, little Qiqi, this gift is great."

Chen Yan hugged Zeng Xiaoqi and held up the box for Ren Jie to see. Ren Jie was also very surprised:

"It looks like a sculpture. Is this what you made, Director Zeng?"
