Chapter 621: Cold Chicken is indeed well-deserved! What? There is an unexpected reward for cooking a Yunnan cuisine banquet?(1/2)
"What are these hams made of?"
Wei Gan asked curiously when he saw Lin Xu put the ham-and-milk cake into the steaming cabinet, but then picked up a piece of ham and cut it.
Lin Xu said:
"I'm going to make a stir-fried ham with green peppers, steam some baby cabbage, and stew the bones with wild mushrooms into soup."
Although there are many styles of southern Yunnan cuisine, they are basically all variations on chicken, ham, pork, cheesecake and other ingredients.
As long as there are more varieties and the seasoning is closer to the flavor of southern Yunnan, it will be a delicious and attractive southern Yunnan food.
There are almost twenty people eating today, and the number of dishes to be prepared must also reach this number, so we have to use the ingredients on hand to make as many dishes as possible.
At almost eleven o'clock, Shen Guofu and his wife came to the store.
"Xiao Xu, is that cold chicken ready?"
He has been thinking about eating meat. Although Lao Huang invited him to drink with him today, he did not forget the cold chicken that his son-in-law mentioned two days ago.
Lin Xu said:
"It's being soaked in white brine right now, and we'll start preparing it when the guests arrive."
"Okay, then we'll wait... Hey? Where's Yueyue? Are you going to Miyun to ride with you too?"
"No, she went home and will come over later."
Lao Chen sat in the booth and whispered to Han Shuzhen:
"Professor Cui will come later. We have to help Lao Huang hold up the place, so we should have two more drinks. You can't nag."
Han Shuzhen rolled her eyes at him:
"It's just this once, and you can't get drunk. Come back drunk and see how I deal with you."
"No, no, I just want to have a taste of the delicious food. Besides, Master Xie will be here later. You know how much we drink, and we usually don't drink too much."
When the dishes were almost ready, the guests began to arrive.
Lin Xu took the chicken out of the white braised soup, drained the surface of the braised chicken, and then began to chop it into pieces.
The cold chicken with yellow skin and white flesh is full of juice. Every time you chop it, the juice in the meat will splash out. Just because of this, this dish will not be unpalatable.
After they were all cut into pieces, Lin Xu took a piece of chicken and tasted it. The chicken was already flavorful. Even if it wasn't served with dipping sauce, you could still taste the delicious taste of the chicken.
Think about it, put the hot chicken into the cold white stewed soup, and as the temperature drops, the stewed soup is absorbed by the chicken due to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction.
In this way, not only can the chicken be delicious, but it can also be filled with juice.
Even chicken breasts with an average taste are full of marinade when chewed, which is particularly delicious.
Putting the chopped chicken on a plate, Lin Xu prepared ginger dipping sauce, minced garlic dipping sauce, spicy dipping sauce and spicy and sour dipping sauce with lemon.
A chicken dish with four kinds of dipping sauces would be weird in other cuisines, but for southwestern people, it's normal.
Because each type of dipping water presents a different taste, the more dipping water, the richer the taste and the more enjoyable it will be.
It's a pity that there is no Zheer root, otherwise making a plate of Zheer root dipping sauce will definitely make many southwestern people taste the taste of their childhood.
When the dish was ready, Lin Xu took a piece of beef tendon that had been cooked and left to cool, cut it into slices, rolled some mint in it, put it on the plate and poured the sauce on it, and a delicious mint beef was completed.
Soon, these dishes were brought into the private room one by one.
After the guests arrived, various hot dishes and soups were also served, such as steam pot chicken, fish casserole, ham and mushroom soup, mutton pot, etc.
Shen Jiayue cleaned up her house and drove to the store. As soon as she saw Lin Xu, she acted like a baby with aggrieved expression:
"Xubao, I'm hungry!"
The house is so big that it is not only tiring but also troublesome to clean up, especially since the top floor duplex has three floors. The living room on the first floor is large, there are many rooms on the second floor, and there are all kinds of dried ingredients and pickled dishes on the third floor.
Shen Jiayue felt like she had run ten kilometers after having done so much work.
Fortunately, I didn't follow Yan Bao and the others to Miyun, otherwise I would never have made it to the finish line.
Maybe right now they are pushing carts around the pancake stall, queuing up to buy pancakes and fruits.
Lin Xu said:
"Then I'll prepare something to eat. Just sit and wait."
As soon as Shen Jiayue heard this, she came to the booth happily and sat down next to her mother:
"Sister Shuzhen, you look so good today."
Han Shuzhen was still watching dramas with her tablet computer. After hearing these words, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly:
"Maybe it's because I haven't been popular in the past two days... You are an adult, so don't act like a child all day long. If you don't know, you think our old Chen family's daughter is ignorant."
[The problem of slow update of new chapters can be solved
Only when it is soaked and the marinade has completely penetrated can the chicken taste delicious and chewy, making it an ideal choice to accompany rice and wine.
Lao Xie carefully analyzed this dish and finally said:
"My junior brother's cooking is still a bit disappointing. If there is more lard in the stew, the lard can moisturize the chicken again, and the taste and aroma will be even better."
As soon as he heard the lard, Lao Shen became more excited about this dish, and he immediately picked up the wine glass:
"Come, come, let's go one by one."
Such good chicken must be paired with fine wine.
Downstairs, Shen Jiayue, Han Shuzhen and Geng Lele, who came for lunch, were also shocked by the deliciousness of the cold chicken.
This dish not only tastes good, but the chicken is cold but not ice-cold, making it very refreshing in your mouth.
"Mom, don't watch TV while you're eating. It's not good for your eyes."
"The finale is coming soon. I have to finish it on the weekend, otherwise I will be busy at work tomorrow and won't be able to take care of it."
While he was eating, Lin Xu brought over dishes such as pan-fried pancakes and pancakes with ham. The portions were not large, but there were many styles. These were all reserved for plating upstairs.
Lin Xu brought the rice and sat down to eat.
He put the fat-and-white ham slices into his mouth and ate them with rice.
Geng Lele asked curiously:
"Brother Xu, why are you eating in such a hurry?"
"Let's put some down first, and go upstairs for a toast later."
Shen Jiayue asked curiously:
"Is this necessary? If you toast to a table of guests, your liver will soon turn into alcoholic liver disease."

Lin Xu put a piece of chicken into his mouth:
"Isn't this just for Lao Huang's face? In fact, it's not just me, my senior brother, Professor Cui, and our dad. If someone calls them to drink, they will definitely not participate. Lao Huang is an honest man, so he gives this face."<
/p>
When people come to the store to spend money, they can naturally do business.
But today, Mr. and Mrs. Huang invite the fellow villagers to dinner. Since ancient times, everyone has talked about returning home in fine clothes. Although we have not returned home now, we can still help our good friends to make a scene in front of the fellow villagers.
Otherwise, with Cui Qingyuan's aloof demeanor and his senior brother's disdain for worldliness, he would never participate in such an occasion.
Han Shuzhen said with some relief:
"Xiao Xu has really grown up and knows how to consider these worldly things. But if you don't like it, you don't have to do it. We elders work hard to make money and work hard just to accumulate arbitrary capital for you... We never have money.
It’s not about what you can do, but what you can’t do.”
Lin Xu smiled:
"Don't worry, Mom, it's just a toast. I'm not disgusted."
Han Shuzhen is very pleased that she has found a good son-in-law.
After sighing, he looked at his daughter who was competing for chicken wings with Geng Lele, and couldn't help but said:
"Yueyue, don't think about eating all the time. You should think about things like an adult."
Shen Jiayue was distracted and the chicken feet were snatched away. She took a piece of chicken leg meat and put it in her bowl:
"I think about things like an adult. When I first adopted Dundun, he disliked me. But under the influence of my old mother, he finally became my good son... Isn't this just thinking about things like an adult?
What?"
Han Shuzhen: "..."
Okay, I'd better continue watching the finale of "Crazy".
Lin Xu ate a bowl of rice, went to the private room upstairs to toast everyone with a glass of wine, and said a lot of polite words.
The guests were very happy and praised Lin Xu's delicious dishes one after another. They said that they would prefer Lin Ji's food for a banquet later, and even took Lin Xu for a photo.
Lao Huang was also very happy and took Lin Xu to drink two drinks in a row.
After the drinking was over, Lin Xu came outside and was about to go downstairs to check out the kitchen when a system prompt sounded in his mind:
