"There don't seem to be many houses for sale nearby. Let's help you look for them first. Director Zeng, Lele, don't just play around and help search around."

Zeng Xiaoqi put a piece of dried fish into her mouth and said while chewing:

"No problem, no problem. I like to look at houses on the real estate trading platform the most. The more expensive they are, the more excited I am to look at them."

Lin Xu was stunned:

"Is this to find a goal for yourself?"

"No, I want to try my best to dispel the unrealistic idea of ​​buying a house in my mind."

Is this... okay?

After Zeng Xiaoqi finished speaking, she turned on her mobile phone and began to search for nearby properties according to the conditions Lin Xu said. She said while busy:

"Let's screen it first, and then go take a look on the spot. It just so happens that I can also do some exercise. I actually gained nearly two pounds over the holidays. I really need to exercise."

A few people now wake up and come to the store to eat and drink all day long, and take away some snacks when they leave.

No matter how happy you are eating, you will feel uncomfortable when you step on the electronic scale.

What made Director Zeng even more uncomfortable was that all the meat he ate grew on his belly, while the places where meat should grow remained flat and motionless.

When talking about gaining weight, Dou Wenjing also rubbed her belly:

"I've gained a pound and a half. It's hard to be too lazy to eat so much. Let's look for a house today and try to see it next to each other tomorrow. Just treat it as exercise."

Shu Yun said:

"I'm okay. I've gained one pound or three taels... Starting from today, I have to lose weight. Otherwise, what can I do if my custom-made work clothes don't fit me?"

For these women who are worried about their bodies but can't keep their mouths shut, Geng Lele finally understands why so many people are mentally exhausted.

She smiled mischievously and asked Lin Xu:

"Brother Xu, what are you having for lunch?"

"I just exchanged the roasted chicken with Uncle Sun for some wild carp, and I will make dried roasted fish in the evening."

Upon hearing this dish, the members of the fat reduction team’s eyes suddenly lit up.

Just now they were worried about gaining three pounds during the holidays, but now their eyes are shining, as if they have been hungry for several days.

Zeng Xiaoqi said with expectation:

"Then I have to try it. The dry-roasted fish I've had several times in the past was just average. This time Boss Lin makes it, the taste will definitely be different. Maybe I can eat two bowls of rice again, don't you think so, Xiaodoudou?"

/p>

"Yes, yes, I like fish that is cooked especially delicious."

Shu Yun also looked forward to it:

"I heard that well-cooked dry-roasted fish does not contain any soup. The soup is completely absorbed by the fish. You will eat a few more pieces later."

Lin Xu originally wanted to say that the dry-roasted fish was cooked with diced pork belly and had high calories, so he would eat less later.

But looking at the eagerness of several people to try...

Forget it, let’s not remind them, lest they eat poorly.

"By the way, Xubao, I asked the people at the Steinway store to put the piano in the store first, and wait until we find a house before sending it to us. Otherwise, moving it around will not be good for the piano."

Seeing that the business was finished, Shen Baobao interrupted.

"Okay."

If Linji is a hotel or a restaurant with innovative cuisine, just send the piano directly to the store.

But Lam Kee is a traditional restaurant, so putting a piano would be too nondescript.

Lin Xu pinched a piece of dried fish and felt that today's dried fish was a bit overcooked, probably because of the high heat.

When the dried fish softens tomorrow, the taste should be improved a lot.

But looking at Shen Baobao, Zeng Xiaoqi, Geng Lele and others gulping down drinks, it’s hard to say whether they can survive until tomorrow.

Dried fish is not available every day. Only when the customer orders a whole roasted lamb, some will be roasted with the residual heat in the oven after the lamb is roasted.

In this way, Dundun has snacks, and everyone can try them.

After tasting the dried fish, he stood up and was about to go back to the kitchen when a system prompt sounded in his mind:

"Lin Ji's food topic ranked among the top 15 in the national topic list, completed the hidden task [ranked 15 in the list], and obtained the perfect E-cuisine - lotus root stewed pork ribs. Congratulations to the host!"

What's going on?

Dundun's popularity has passed, but why did he suddenly reach fifteenth place on the overall list?

You must know that after the second half of the featurette, the topic of Lin Ji’s food is still lingering in the 17th or 18th place, and there is still a big gap between the 15th place and the 17th place.

Two days have passed, and I should have dropped to twenty or more.

Unexpectedly, I suddenly reached the top fifteen and completed a hidden mission.

He took out his mobile phone and looked at the hot search topic list. Linji Food was indeed at the fifteenth place, and the word "explosion" was displayed on the back, which meant that the popularity was rising rapidly.

After clicking it, he browsed the topic updates and realized what was going on.

Last night, an extra who has been performing in Hengdian all year round re-created Dundun's video, comparing Zeng Xiaoqi and others who were meeting at the other end of the conference table to directors, screenwriters, producers, supervisors and other film practitioners.<

/p>

These people are sitting on high chairs, sighing and sighing. Actors' acting skills are getting worse and worse, making it more and more difficult to shoot movies and TV series.

But I didn't notice at all the hard-working performances of some unknown little actors.

The young actors can perform all the movements and expressions that the directors said, but because the directors cannot see it, the young actor represented by Dundun can only sing a one-man show.

At the end, Dundun lay down on the conference table, which represented that the young actors accepted their fate, transformed, and quietly quit the industry.

Directors continue to lament that there are no good actors.

The irony is very strong.

The dubbing and subtitles perfectly fit Dundun's performance.

So as soon as it was released, it caused a huge response.

Many video creators have started secondary creations based on Dundun's videos to express the sadness of talents being buried.

Dundun’s video became popular again.

Linji Food also became popular again, reaching the fifteenth place on the topic list.

After reading it, Lin Xu glanced at Zhu Yong who was working in the kitchen. He originally planned to ask Zhu Yong to make lotus root stewed pork ribs for everyone to try.

Now it seems that there is no need to wait for Zhu Yong to do it.

You can easily make it yourself.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Xu went downstairs to catch a few carp swimming in the aquarium and started to cook dried fish.

The dish of dry-roasted fish is said to have been created by the great painter Zhang Daqian. It is also said that it was made by a chef who was watching someone playing cards and forgot the time, causing the fish to boil out of the soup in the pot.

Anyway, this is a dish that is not complicated to make but tastes super delicious.

Knock the carp on the head with a kitchen knife, then cut at the base of the tail to release the blood, and then scrape off the scales.

The scales of this fish, which weighs about two kilograms, are not very large, so I won’t keep it this time.

Fish scales are not only found on the body, but also on the belly of the fish, and they are a bit harder. In order to affect the taste, they need to be scraped and cleaned from beginning to end.

After scraping, disembowel the carp.

Remove all the internal organs inside, but you can keep the fish roe, swim bladder and fish oil, and eat them later as fish offal.

After cleaning the internal organs, wash the black membrane in the abdominal cavity, remove the gills and teeth, and finally trim the fish tail into a standard "V" shape. This shape is called a swallow tail, which means spreading its wings and flying high after eating.

.

After completing this step, the carp cleaning work is over.

Clean the fish body, then use kitchen paper to dry all the water on the surface and in the abdominal cavity, and then start cutting the carp.

There are many ways to change carp's knife.

There are Yizi flower knives, willow leaf flower knives, peony flower knives, etc.

To make dry roasted fish today, I will use a cross knife.

Place the fish flat on the eucalyptus board, cut the knife at a 45-degree angle along the body of the fish on the thick part of the fish crest, and use the tip of the knife to cut to the fish bone.

Then, space it a few centimeters apart, and then cut it like this.

When making dry-roasted fish, the knife must be deep and cut to the bones, so that the fish meat can be more flavorful and delicious.

Cut from the beginning to the end, then change the angle and cut again so that the knife edges intersect vertically.

After marking both sides with flower knife, put it into a basin, apply a layer of salt, then crush the onion and ginger and apply it all over the fish body and abdominal cavity. Finally, stuff the onion and ginger into the abdominal cavity of the fish and marinate it.

This step is to give the fish a base flavor and make the carp taste more delicious.
