Chapter 328 The ultimate pigeon soup—steamed squab! Xie Baomin’s battle to clear his name!(2/2)

Not long after, Lin Xu came down with a bag, which contained a large portion of spicy and sour belly soup prepared for Aunt Liang in an insulated lunch box, a portion of beef in small sesame pancakes to satisfy Uncle Zhou's craving, and a portion of

Tomato and egg rice bowl.

Served with roasted chicken, these are enough for the elderly couple to have a full lunch.

"Thank you so much Xiao Lin, your aunt will be very happy later... How much is it? Let Tiantian give her the money and she won't do it. I can't take it if you don't accept the money."

Uncle Zhou was the leader of Peking University before he retired. Although he did not have big money, he still had no shortage of small money.

Lin Xu said:

"Let's charge the price of two roast chickens... By the way, Uncle Zhou, why haven't you seen Professor Xu and Aunt Xue recently?"

"I'm going to take care of my grandson, but I'll be back soon. Lao Xu is an old scholar and doesn't know much about housework. His wife is an artist and doesn't mess with the world. It's really difficult for them to take care of their grandson."<

/p>

After paying the money, Uncle Zhou hurriedly left the store with the packed food and went home to have dinner with Aunt Liang.

At this moment, Xie Baomin finally saw a roast chicken placed close to the edge of the pot. The chicken skin was slightly damaged. When Xie Baomin saw it, he immediately handed it over with a plate:

"Give me this one. It's trembling as if its bones have been removed. It looks rotten to the ground."

Xu Xinhua held the roast chicken with a slotted spoon and slowly placed it on the plate:

"Chef Xie, be careful, it's hot."

"As a chef, you can't be afraid of burning it. Come on, put it in."

Xie Baomin came upstairs with a plate and said to the two children:

"Come on, come on, let's try the roasted chicken that your Uncle Lin made. It's just come out of the pan and it's too hot. I'll shake it up for you two."

He pinched the joints of the two chicken legs and shook them violently. The slightly disfigured roast chicken immediately fell apart, making Xie Yufei and Xie Yuhang's eyes widen:

"How amazing!"

"Dad, isn't it hot?"

Xie Baomin pinched a piece of chicken leg meat, tasted it, and said with a smile:

"It must be hot for you, but for a chef, this is just a basic skill... Junior brother, this roast chicken tastes really good. I was thinking it would be salty, but I didn't expect it to be just right."

Xie Yufei and Xie Yuhang took the kuaizi from the disinfection cabinet, each took a bite of the roasted chicken, and then their eyes lit up:

"This roast chicken is so delicious, fragrant and tasty."

"Everything Uncle Lin makes is really delicious. Dad, if you have nothing to do, please learn more from Uncle Lin."

Xie Baomin: "..."

Yes, my reputation cannot be reversed.

In the kitchen, Lin Xu looked at the still warm pigeons and prepared to start cooking now.

Pigeon stew cannot be washed. It even needs to be suffocated with hot water when slaughtering, so that the blood of the pigeons remains in the meat, which can maximize the nutrition of the pigeon meat.

However, the slaughter of live poultry is now prohibited within the urban area of ​​​​Beijing. There is no way to retain the blood of pigeons, so we can only keep the pigeon meat as nutritious as possible without washing or soaking it.

The shorter the pigeon slaughtering time, the more delicious the pigeon soup will be.

Thinking of this, Lin Xu immediately planned to give it a try.

Use a knife to remove the pigeon's butt and head. These two parts are more likely to have odor, so remove them, chop off the claw tips, and scrub them with salt to remove as much odor as possible.

After cleaning it up, put it into a clean steam pot. There are not so many pressure cookers in the store now, and there are not that many stoves to make steam pot squab for a single person.

So I still use a big steamer to make it, and then use a small steamer to make two or three pots to try.

He put the whole pigeon into the steam pot without changing the knife to keep the squab intact as much as possible. In this way, after drinking the soup, each person would put one in the bowl and it would definitely be a satisfying meal.

Put the squabs in one by one, add some herbs used to make the steam-pot chicken in the afternoon, and cut a few slices of Xuanwei ham to increase the flavor. The steam-pot squab is ready.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Putting the big steam pot aside, Lin Xu brought in a few small steam pots and began to play with the ingredients and medicinal materials that needed to be placed in the small steam pots.

The small steam pot is not as big as the noodle bowl in the store. If a squab is placed inside, it takes up most of the space.

After putting the squab in, put a piece of ham into each pot, and finally the medicinal materials.

Aunt Liang had caught a cold and needed to put some medicinal materials to relieve sweating. Lin Xu put some ephedra for sweating into a steam pot. This is the main ingredient of many cold medicines. Stewing it into the soup can have a good sweating effect.

.

The lunch rush was coming soon, and the stove in the big kitchen could not be occupied, so Lin Xu brought a few steam pots to the small kitchen, then moved all the pressure cookers in the store and started cooking steamed pigeon in the pressure cooker.

A large steam boiler requires an iron stand, but a small steam boiler does not need to be so troublesome. It can be placed directly on the gas valve of the pressure cooker.

The only thing you need to pay attention to is that the lid of the small steam pot is too light and can easily be lifted up by the steam. The best way is to put a heavy object on it.

With these things done, the afternoon rush hour has arrived.

Tourists from out of town and local customers from the capital came in an endless stream, each ordering their favorite delicacies.

Xie Baomin ate a few bites of the roast chicken and then went to the kitchen to soak the remaining squab.

Since you want to cook it raw and stir-fried, there is no need to pay so much attention to it.

And it’s still several hours before dinner, so these pigeons will have a peculiar smell if they are not soaked.

After finishing the afternoon rush hour, Lin Xu took a break and went back to the community behind him, turned on his computer, and uploaded the second half of the highlights.

After uploading it, he looked at yesterday's video. The number of views has exceeded 3 million, and the number of likes has exceeded 600,000, and it is still increasing.

Even the retweets immediately reached 100,000.

This shows that everyone is very interested in taking selfies with cats.

As the popularity of this video increased, other cats also became popular.

For example, the "free cat" who secretly opened the door and caused the sweeping robot to go down from the 27th floor to the first floor, and the "Chaoshan health cat" who likes to lie on a bamboo chair and drink tea, etc., have become popular with Dundun.

.

Netizens joked that they were the advance team to conquer the earth from the distant cat star.

And Dundun, who can even take selfies, is naturally the commander of the advance team.

Soon, the video passed the review and appeared in Lin Xu's personal news.

"Wow, the second half of the featurette has appeared."

"What tidbits? Is this a feature film?"

"What new tricks does this cute little Kangkang do!"

"Is there any cat owner who can tell me whether cats are really that smart?"

“I don’t know if I’m smart or not, but I’m quite neurotic anyway.”

"My big cat led the second cat to the balcony several times with toys in its mouth, and then secretly closed the balcony door. The second cat almost suffered from heatstroke several times after applying the compress..."

"So you need to be careful when planning a second child!"

Netizens started to discuss it lively in the comment area before they even started watching the video.

Lin Xu closed the computer and returned to the store, where he happened to bump into Zeng Xiaoqi, who was returning from a wedding. She was at the service desk, eating a small sesame-stained pancake.

He asked curiously:

"You're just attending the ceremony and being the master of ceremony, so you're not in charge of the food?"

Zeng Xiaoqi said with a confused expression:

"That kind of reserved table is not delicious, and you are surrounded by colleagues from other departments of the TV station, so you can't let it go. If you want to enjoy the meal, it has to be Lin Ji's food."

Lin Xu pointed at the braised food department:

“Just go to the braised food department and ask for whatever you want to eat.”

"No, I'm still waiting to taste the steamed pigeon in the evening. I heard that eating pigeon is a great supplement, I have to feel it."

Shu Yun, who was scratching Dundun's chin at the side, glanced at Director Zeng's Xiong Xiong with a half-smile but said nothing, but his eyes that were three parts sarcastic, three parts disdainful and four parts careless said everything.

Lin Xu said:

"Not only will there be steam-pot squab in the evening, but my senior brother is also planning to make raw and stir-fried squab, probably the same way as fried chicken or braised chicken nuggets, let's wait and see."

"Wow, Chef Xie cooks it himself, so I have to try it."

At 4:30 in the afternoon, Xie Baomin, who had taken his wife and children to visit Tsinghua University, strode into the kitchen, took out the squab soaked in the basin, drained the water, and chopped it into large pieces with a kitchen knife.

Then prepare some dried chili peppers, dried Sichuan peppercorns, green pepper segments, ginger cubes and other ingredients.

When everything is ready, set up the wok.

He is going to cook the stir-fried squab he is going to make to open the eyes of his two children.

Well, starting from today, you must crush the school chef and become the No. 1 culinary artist in the hearts of your children!
