Just as I was about to end the call and prepare to cook, a small white hand suddenly stretched out from beside me and took over the phone:

"Mom, happy holidays, Xu Bao and I miss you so much!"

After hearing what her daughter-in-law said, Chen Meijuan on the other end of the phone couldn't hold herself any longer.

It's a big holiday and my son is not around. Even if he calls me, he can only care about me in passing.

This sound of missing you so much made her eyes wet instantly:

"Mom misses you too... Do you still feel sick in your stomach, Yueyue? Do you need to go to the hospital for a checkup?"

"No, no, it's ready. It must be that I haven't eaten the delicious food made by my mother for a long time, so my stomach is upset."

These words made Chen Meijuan smile immediately.

My precious daughter-in-law is really good at talking. When we meet next time, she will definitely cook you a lot of delicious food so that your precious daughter-in-law’s stomach won’t get upset.

After chatting for a few more words, the phone hung up.

Shen Baobao waved his cell phone at Lin Xu:

"You actually called home secretly behind my back. You're not good. I won't be able to... um... without ten kisses..."

The young couple made love in the kitchen and then started making corn soup.

After finishing it, we returned to the restaurant and the Shen family’s lunch officially began.

In fact, we were supposed to eat at Shen’s house today and at Han’s house tomorrow.

But everyone was busy, and Lin Xu couldn't spend the whole day visiting relatives, so he just had a meal at his father-in-law's house.

My family is not that particular.

"Come and have a drink, Xiaoxu."

Chen Yuejin held the wine glass and wanted to have a drink with this outstanding niece-in-law.

Lin Xu picked up the drink with an apologetic smile:

"Uncle, Yueyue and I are going to school to visit our teacher in the afternoon. We really can't drink, so we'll have drinks instead today. I'll prepare a big table of food next time and have a couple of drinks with you."

When he said this, Shen Guofu quickly came to the rescue with a glass of wine:

"Come on, brother-in-law, I'll go with you. Xiaoxu has something to do in the afternoon, so let the young man do his work. I've been looking forward to this meal every day."

Chen Yuejin clinked glasses with the couple and felt a sense of emotion in his heart.

I don’t know if my future son-in-law is that good. Xiaoyan, a girl in her thirties, is still single all day long. When can she get married?

I’m so worried!

While he was worrying, Chen Yan, who was eating custard beside him, asked Lin Xu:

"Brother-in-law, do you and Yueyue have any other plans after going to school?"

"I went back to the store after going to school. What's wrong, Sister Yan?"

Chen Yan glanced at her father and said with a smile:

"I want to learn a dish to cook for my dad. He likes to eat coriander, but because there are so many people who don't like to eat coriander now, I've never had a good time..."

This sentence made Chen Yuejin, who was worried about his daughter, immediately feel elated.

Ouch, our Lao Chen’s daughter also knows how to care about her father. It’s really rare.

Shen Guofang, who was on the side, was also full of joy. Originally, she wanted to wait for the fun and let these relatives introduce a partner to her Xiaoyan.

But since my daughter is so sensible.

Then don’t rush her. If she can find a partner, just look for her. If she can’t find one, just support her for the rest of her life.

There is no shortage of food and drink at home, but you are still worried that your daughter will suffer from it?

Like to eat coriander?

This is too simple, just mix the coriander with it.

But it seems that my sister-in-law is planning to make a decent dish.

Lin Xu thought for a while and said:

"You can make it now. The beef tenderloin that Yueyue knocked on just now is suitable for cold salad, and it's not difficult to make. How about I just make a beef dish with coriander right now."

Shen Baobao didn't expect that he would be nominated and praised by his Xubao after eating, so he immediately said:

"Okay, okay, it just so happens that I want to learn too."

Beef mixed with coriander?

Others were a little surprised. They had never eaten cold beef before. Even if it was mixed with beef, it would be braised beef. But seeing Lin Xu's intention, he could make it right away, so it was most likely not braised.

How to eat this?

For a moment, both coriander lovers and beef lovers were silent.

They are all thinking about whether the finished product can be eaten.

On the other hand, Chen Yan and Shen Jiayue, the two fake chefs, looked eager to try:

"Let's get started, there's just one more dish to add!"

Lin Xu didn't refuse, got up and led the pair of sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks to the kitchen.

Take out the beef tenderloin from the refrigerator, first separate it along the muscle texture, and then smash it sideways with the back of a knife to relax the muscle fibers, which will make it easier to taste and taste better.

After smashing, cut into thin slices with a kitchen knife.

Considering the insignificant knife skills of Shen Baobao and his sister-in-law, Lin Xu said:

"If you do it yourself, you can use a slicer instead for this step."

The kitchens of wealthy people are not only spacious, but also equipped with all kinds of equipment that are not needed, such as the multi-function slicer.

Of course, Lin Xu thinks it's useless, but that doesn't mean other people will think so.

For example, the two chefs who are learning to cook now are very dependent on equipment. When they heard that they could use a slicer, they looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Wow, I can finally harness the power of technology.

Lin Xu said while cutting the meat:

"The meat slices don't need to be too thin, just two millimeters is enough. This thickness will allow the beef to be cooked thoroughly while still being tender. If it is too thin, it will be easily burnt, but if it is thick, it will not be easily blanched."

Hot?

A bunch of question marks appeared on the heads of Wolong and Phoenix.

I am full of curiosity about this approach.

"Blanch it and then cool it, isn't this... isn't this the way to eat hot pot?"

As if Chen Yan had discovered a new world, she felt that the hot pot she usually eats, especially the Chaoshan beef hot pot, is almost all eaten this way.

Since we have put so much effort into studying, how about just learning a hot pot dish?

"Brother-in-law, is this dish... too simple?"

Simple?

Lin Xu put the chopped beef into a basin and said with a smile:

"That's not necessarily true. This dish is quite particular. If it's done well, it will definitely become a bright spot on the dinner table. In addition, if you learn how to make it, it can also be used to cook chicken, mutton and other meat ingredients."

Shen Baobao's eyes lit up:

"Doesn't that mean you can make your favorite hot pot dish into a cold dish?"

"Yes, but you better forget it. It would be better for you to eat less cold dishes in the near future."

"Oh...I know."

Chen Yan: "..."

Brother-in-law, I understand how you care about your cousin.

But can you please stop caring in front of me?

Are you so comfortable spreading dog food now?

Lin Xu put the beef into a basin, then poured some peanut oil in and stirred evenly.

"Why put oil in?"

"This is to seal the moisture in the meat and make the meat taste better. Raw beef should not be exposed to salt and cooking wine during cooking, otherwise the meat will not be soft and tender."

After speaking, Lin Xu began to prepare the ingredients.

He took two sticks of vitex, three sticks of spicy millet, and a piece of young ginger that Aunt Liu was preparing to make kimchi.

Cut these three ingredients separately, then mix them together and chop them into pieces with a guillotine.

Then I brought a small handful of coriander and a few green onions. First, cut off the roots of the coriander and green onions and set them aside. This will be used when blanching the beef later.
