While he was busy, Lao Huang brought his wife over for dinner.

Lin Xu deliberately put down what he was doing and came out with two cakes to say hello.

After all, they gave me such a big piece of ham for free, and also contributed the flower sauce I made, so I should respect it both emotionally and rationally.

"Brother, your skills are amazing. You mix the fillings very well, and you have a perfect grasp of the salty and sweet flavors."

After Lao Huang and his wife tasted the mooncakes, they were full of praise for Lin Xu's craftsmanship.

Mrs. Huang didn't really have high hopes before she came. She always felt that her husband's praise was a bit excessive, but after tasting Lin Xu's craftsmanship, she realized that her husband was just telling the truth.

“Good craftsmanship, it’s hard to buy such delicious mooncakes in southern Yunnan.”

Nowadays, mooncakes are all about sweetness. Although ham is also used, it is soaked and boiled, so the salty taste in the ham has already been lost a lot.

When I was making the stuffing, I was afraid that there wouldn’t be enough sugar, so I added in as much as I could.

As a result, the mooncakes are too sweet, but the saltiness of the ham is not enough.

Mrs. Huang ate this delicious mooncake and had new expectations for Lin Xu's craftsmanship.

She asked with a smile:

"Brother, can you make steam pot chicken?"

Steam pot chicken?

Lao Huang said from the side:

"My wife loves her family. If she doesn't eat some southern Yunnan delicacies for a while, she feels like something is missing. Brother, if you can make steam pot chicken, just make it once. Money is not an issue."

Lin Xu smiled bitterly and said:

"Making steam pot chicken requires a steam pot. It is difficult to make it without a steam pot."

In Chinese cooking, there are some dishes that require specific cooking utensils, such as clay pot rice that needs to be cooked in a clay pot, and steam pot chicken that can be cooked in a steam pot.

Without the steam pot chicken, this dish would just be an ordinary steamed chicken.

"There are steam pots and there are steam pots."

Lao Huang took a big bite of the mooncake and said while chewing:

"I have several steam pots at home, both big and small, but for some reason, the steam pot chicken produced was not authentic. At that time, I thought it was the pot. Later, I went to Jianshui to buy a handmade clay pot.

It still doesn’t work.”

No?

Lin Xu is interested:

"Why not? Is the pot leaking or something?"

Mrs. Huang smiled sheepishly:

"It smells fishy..."

Lin Xu:??????

This is a matter of cooking techniques. What’s the use of constantly changing pots?

It feels like those steam pots have suffered a huge injustice!

He smiled and said:

"Let's do this, Lao Huang. When you deliver the food tomorrow, bring the steam pot from home. I'll take the time to make the steam pot chicken. I can't guarantee anything else, but it will definitely not smell fishy!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Huang were overjoyed:

"Then we are waiting to eat!"
