"Yan Bao, come on, come on, I'll show you a three-bite, one piece of meat!"

When Shen Jiayue saw Chen Yan coming up, she enthusiastically invited her to eat together. No one can resist the temptation of meat. If there is any, then add another piece.

Chen Yan swallowed and finally refused.

She thought for a while and said:

"Cook me some plain vegetables, and put some buckwheat noodles on the side. I need to lose weight."

If you let go and eat, you will definitely regret it after eating, so try to restrain your desires now. Losing weight cannot always rely on "starting from tomorrow", but you must hold back and persist in every meal.

Her attitude was praised by Han Shuzhen:

"Xiaoyan's willpower is really strong. Lao Shen, don't be greedy and learn from Xiaoyan."

"Okay, I'll start eating fat-reducing meals at home starting tomorrow."

My parents-in-law are going back tomorrow and there is no reason why I want to come to the restaurant to eat, so I say it directly now, which not only shows that I have willpower, but also shows my determination to lose weight.

After Shen Guofu finished speaking, he said to Chen Yan:

"Xiaoyan, come to my house for dinner tomorrow. They are all low-fat meals. It is difficult to gain weight."

"Okay, uncle, I'll go when I'm not busy tomorrow afternoon. Then I'll practice in the gym and then have dinner together."

Since her cousin really wanted to lose weight, Shen Jiayue didn't tempt her anymore.

Soon, the boiled vegetables and buckwheat noodles were ready. It was said to be boiled, but in fact it was drizzled with some steamed fish soy sauce to increase the flavor and add some necessary salt, while the buckwheat noodles could add carbohydrates.

Chen Yan brought the boiled vegetables to a booth far away from them, sat down, and began to enjoy the delicious food.

Although boiled dishes sound miserable, in fact, after accepting it, you can actually taste it, especially the addition of steamed fish with soy sauce, which makes the dishes a qualitative leap.

The steamed fish with soy sauce is delicious and fragrant, coupled with the fresh and crisp vegetables, it is very comfortable to eat.

And that little bit of buckwheat noodles can increase satiety and eliminate fat.

While eating such a meal, I couldn't help but start to calculate how I would look after losing weight, imagining everyone's envious eyes, and how beautiful I would look in a wedding dress.

Thus becoming full of motivation.

You can even feel a sense of joy deep in your heart, which is the joy of reason overcoming desire.

Lin Xu finished the rice in the bowl. He didn't want to eat it at first, but when he looked at the remaining dishes, he couldn't help but return more than half of the bowl of rice and ate the remaining dishes.

You can’t serve the meat in stores, and you can’t serve it in ginkgo gardens or scenic spots.

Because you want to sell handfuls of meat, the entire store should be based on this dish. This is more suitable for a small shop that specializes in selling handfuls of meat, or a vendor who makes box lunches.

There is a food selection area just after entering the door. There are more than 20 kinds of meat dishes with the meat as the core, and paired with rice, it is enough to support the business of a small shop.

Only in this way can we avoid wasting resources and make money.

In Lin Xu's circle, there is no place suitable for doing this, so this thing can only be made once in a while as a staff meal.

Soon, everyone was full and full.

Except for Chen Yan, everyone had a good meal.

No way, once I taste a handful of meat, I unconsciously become greedy. I always feel that I haven't eaten enough. Even if it has exceeded my usual appetite, I still want to have another half bowl of rice.

This may be the charm of food.

Lin Xu came downstairs and took out the box from the cabinet at the front desk. Inside was the statue of Dundun. Lin Xu planned to put it in the car for his parents to take back and put it in the temple on the top of the mountain.

He originally wanted to explain, but there was no need to explain at all. Chen Meijuan took the initiative and said:

"This is a good idea. Let Dundun's statue absorb some incense, and maybe it can actually have the effect of attracting wealth and fortune."

After saying that, my mother held the box in both hands, wrapped it in clothes as if it were a treasure, and placed it on the back seat of Chen Meiliang's big G.

Shen Jiayue asked curiously:

"It's so inconvenient to put it here, just put it in the trunk."

Chen Meijuan immediately waved her hand:

"That's not okay. Although it's just an ornament, since you are offering it to the temple, you have to be sincere. You can't just stuff it into the trunk, but put it on the seat and treat this ornament as a person."

Gee, is there such a thing?

Lin Xu feels that the older generation has a very stubborn understanding and persistence of metaphysics.

But it’s good to put it on the wide and soft back seat to avoid being smashed in the trunk.

After placing the ornaments, Chen Meijuan said:

"Tomorrow morning we will have breakfast at home and drive directly without turning this way. I have to say goodbye to everyone."

She walked into the store and said goodbye to Shu Yun, Song Tiantian, Xiao Dong, Wei Qian and others one by one. She told everyone to put on extra clothes sooner or later and pay attention to keeping warm from the cold, which moved the store employees very much.

After returning home, Chen Meijuan started to pack her things with the help of Chen Yuanyuan, while Chen Meiliang and Lin Hongqi were planning their work plans after returning.

Shen Guofu originally planned to come, but Han Shuzhen was worried that a few people would drink together and affect their driving tomorrow morning, so she forcibly took Lao Shen home and made an appointment to have breakfast tomorrow morning and see everyone off.

Lin Xu turned on the TV for Dundun, found the bears in the history records, and chose to play automatically for the little guy to watch.

He couldn't get in the conversation between his father and his second uncle, and he couldn't get along with his mother and sister Yuanyuan when they were packing things, so the only thing he could do was go to the study to play games.

At the beginning, Shen Jiayue joined in:

"Xubao, are egg tarts really easy to make? If I want to make them, how sure do you think I can make them smoothly?"

This question really stupefied Lin Xu.

He thought for a while and said:

"If you use the purchased egg tart shell, you should be 100% sure to make it. After all, you only need to stir the milk, eggs, sugar, and low-gluten flour together, filter it again, pour it into the egg tart shell, and bake it. It's very simple...

…But if you add the egg tart shell, the difficulty will increase somewhat, but not too much."

Making egg tart crust is a little troublesome, but it's not difficult if you master the skills.

To make an egg tart crust, you just need to roll out the dough thinly, add the same thinly rolled butter, then fold it repeatedly, and then cut it into an egg tart crust. Relatively speaking, it is easier than Chinese puff pastry dough.

Perhaps the only difficulty in the whole process is that after each folding, you have to put it in the refrigerator for a while to allow the butter inside to solidify and prevent the butter from melting and seeping out of the dough.

When Shen Jiayue heard this, she was a little surprised and said:

"It's so simple? While our parents haven't left yet, can you teach me and let me show off once more?"

As the poorest cook in the family, Shen Jiayue wanted to prove herself, and Chen Meijuan had always wanted to pamper her, so this girl wanted to make some egg tarts.

Not only to make the elders happy, but also to show them that I am also working hard for this family.

In this case, Lin Xu would naturally not refuse.

He quit the game, closed the computer, and went downstairs with Shen Jiayue, preparing to teach her how to make egg tarts from scratch.

Egg tarts are a popular snack in Hong Kong, Macao and abroad, but now, this delicacy can be bought in Western pastry shops everywhere.

The most classic features of egg tarts are the layers of puff pastry and the smooth and tender egg yolk filling. The two textures, one crispy and the other tender, make this delicacy a favorite of many people.

Especially in tea restaurants in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hong Kong and Macao, when drinking tea, you must order a beautiful and delicious egg tart. Hold the newly baked egg tart in your hand and slowly eat it for a few bites, and then chat with old friends. Everything is...

So comfortable.

Lin Xu brought over the ingredients.

Eggs, low-gluten flour, pure milk, light cream, condensed milk, sugar, solid butter, everything is ready, start making.

First add two bowls of low-gluten flour into the basin, then add a tablespoon of soft sugar and an equal amount of butter, knead with your hands, and use the temperature of your hands and the squeezing pressure of the flour to melt the butter and soft sugar.

It's a little difficult to do at first, so you need to rub it slowly and hard.

Keep kneading until the butter and white sugar are completely melted, the flour in the basin is slightly balled up when held together, and the surface looks light yellow, which means it is ready.

Lin Xu added some warm water to the basin and kneaded the dough into a slightly softer dough.

Both butter and sugar are malleable. As long as they can be kneaded into dough, they will basically have a soft texture, so the amount of water does not need to be too much.

Shen Jiayue watched this step from the side, picking up her phone from time to time and writing it down on the memo so as not to forget it.

In some key steps, you will also raise your phone to take pictures.

After the dough is kneaded, Lin Xu covers the basin with a layer of plastic wrap and sets it aside to relax.

Taking advantage of this effort, he cut a piece of butter in the middle and turned it into two slightly thinner pieces. This not only made it easier for the butter to melt, but also facilitated the next step of processing.

When the butter is done, put it in a food bag and set it aside to let the butter soften naturally.

Shen Jiayue asked curiously:

"What's next?"

"Wait..."

"Wait?"

"When the butter melts and the dough relaxes, you can process it into the egg tart shell step by step."
