The little guy turned over and sat up, sighing slightly, looking helpless.

But in Shen Jiayue's view, it means something else:

"Wow, my son likes COS so much and even sits up on his own initiative. Then mommy will dress you up as the number one Arab prince on the Internet."

She took the tripod over, clamped the phone on it, pointed it at Dundun on the small sofa, and started recording.

I took a white towel from the car and put it on Dundun's head. It did look like an Arab prince, but it was not enough.

Shen Jiayue thought for a moment and took off the hair tie that tied her hair.

Then he put a set on Dundun's head, a white towel, a black hair tie, and the sitting posture of Dundun, he really looked like an Arab prince.

"Wow, my son is so handsome!"

Seeing that Dundun had no intention of stopping, she turned over and shook her head impatiently. The towel on her head suddenly started to float like dumpling wrappers.

"Hahahaha, that's great, I'll edit it and post it right now."

Seeing that the shooting was finished, Dundun immediately used her paws to pull off the towel and hair tie on her head, lay down on the sofa slumped, and then sighed heavily.

Sure enough, every bite of dried fish is not free.

In the kitchen, Lin Xu chopped up the meat filling, scooped out a ball of meat filling that was slightly larger than a fist, and put it aside. Later, he would make a lotus root steamed meat pie for everyone to try.

Now make the meatballs first.

He took the soaked lotus leaves and put them in the wooden cage.

This is a special small cage that can be served on the table.

Fold the lotus leaves and lay them in the basket, bring over the unused glutinous rice, drain the water and set it aside for later use.

Aunt Sun stood aside and studied seriously.

The winter solstice is coming soon. How about making a dish when the whole family gathers for dinner? Wouldn’t it surprise everyone?

Lin Xu added salt, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, pepper, green onion and ginger water and a handful of dry starch to the meat filling, stirred evenly, and then added chopped lotus root that was half the amount of meat filling.

Continue stirring, mix the meat filling and minced lotus root evenly, and then beat the meat filling a few times to make the meat filling gelatinize.

Stop when it feels sticky and start squeezing the meatballs.

Use the tiger's mouth to squeeze out a meatball, then roll it into the soaked glutinous rice so that the surface of the red meatball is covered with white glutinous rice, and then carefully place it on the lotus leaf.

"Wow, so beautiful!"

Mi Lan took a look and felt that the preparation of this meatball was really good. The combination of red meat filling, white glutinous rice, and dried lotus leaves on the bottom looked appetizing.

Aunt Sun tried to make one and found that it was not troublesome and could be mastered.

"Xiao Xu's craftsmanship is really incredible. Just play with it casually, and the meatballs look so good."

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"This is the specialty dish of our chef Zhu Yong. He is from Hubei and is good at making this kind of dishes. If you don't like pork, you can replace the front leg meat with fish."

Put the meatballs into the basket one by one and set them aside to relax.

It is best not to steam the freshly made meatballs immediately. Let them rest for a while before steaming. The meat will taste better.

Taking advantage of this time, Lin Xu took over the ball of meat stuffing that he had just scooped out, added salt, soy sauce, pepper, and stirred until it was strong, then added young corn kernels, chopped lotus root, diced carrots, and corn starch, and continued to stir.

, and even beat him a few times when grabbing and mixing.

After it's done, bring a plate over, brush the bottom with oil, put the beaten meat filling on it, spread it into a cake shape, finally dig a nest in the middle, and add a raw salted duck egg.

Steaming salted duck eggs can give the dishes a richer texture and flavor, and crushing the egg yolks after steaming can also increase the flavor of steamed lotus root meatloaf.

After finishing these tasks, put the steamer on the stove, bring it to a boil over high heat, put the steamer on it, and finally put the plate of meatloaf on it and steam it over high heat.

"Sister Mi Lan, if you are entertaining tourists here, the kitchen equipment needs to be upgraded. At least you need to get a steaming cabinet. This will make steaming vegetables much more convenient."

Mi Lan heard this and said:

"I was about to ask you, what do we need to add to our kitchen? Why don't you help me make a plan and design later? I don't understand this. I will give you some shares when the time comes. What do you think?"

/p>

For someone with such fame, traffic, and cooking skills, it’s natural to hold on tight.

Anyway, this ginkgo garden is half dead. Except for selling some ginkgo saplings every spring, the rest of the time is free. If it can become popular through Lin Xu, then shouldn't it be appropriate to give others some money?

Mi Lan just said it casually, but the more he thought about it, the more reliable it became.

Both Diaoyutai and Yanjing Hotels have hired this handsome guy as the head of the catering department. Our small garden has nothing to offer, so we can only get shares.

Lin Xu said:

"There's no need for this. I'll make an order for you later. Just follow it and buy it."

"That won't work, I can't let your help go in vain... Is Pangdundun Catering Management Company the parent company of your industry? Then I will make an equity transfer and let Pangdundun Company become a shareholder of Ginkgo Garden."

The best way to hold someone's thigh is to pull the other person into your boat.

The procedures for returning equity have been completed properly...

"Brother, you don't want our ginkgo garden to keep losing money, right?"

Lin Xu didn't expect Sister Mi Lan to be so happy. If he really wanted to take over, the garden would have to be redesigned and planned according to the standards of an ecological garden.

As for how to do it specifically...it can only use the necessary skills for contemporary young people to do housework:

Shout! Mom!

When the time comes, I will ask my mother, who is good at playing with scenic spots, to come over and tidy up the place, so as to make it as interesting as possible without affecting the growth of the ginkgo trees.

As long as this is done well, tourists don’t have to worry about it.

Let Dundun stay here for a while, not to mention it will become a popular scenic spot, at least it will not be as deserted as it is now.

When Lin Xu started cooking, Aunt Sun started making pancakes.

Almost all the aunts in Beijing have the unique skill of making pancakes.

Aunt Sun is no exception. She roasts cumin and Sichuan peppercorns in a dry pot until fragrant, then crushes them with a rolling pin, filters them, and then adds salt to make Sichuan peppercorn salt.

Using this kind of pepper and salt to make pancakes will give the pancakes a rich aroma.

Even if there are no side dishes, it’s no problem for one person to eat a whole plate.

When Lin Xu was almost done with the dishes, he took down the glutinous rice and lotus roots that had been simmering on the stove next to him, and continued to let the red date soup in the pot simmer, so that it would taste better.

Normally, glutinous rice lotus root is eaten cold, but now the temperature is low, so Lin Xu plans to eat it hot.

After a while, take it out and cut it into pieces, then boil a caramel sauce with brown sugar and pour it on top. Eat it so soft, glutinous and warm, and it will definitely have a different taste.

When the fish head was almost ready, Lin Xu opened the lid of the pot, and a rich aroma wafted out of the pot.

The fish head in the pot is trembling like tofu, the soup has lost a lot and is very thick, making people greedy just looking at it.

He uses kuaizi to select the easier-to-pick ingredients such as dried chili peppers, star anise, and scallions, and then uses high heat to reduce the juice.

When making fish head soaked cakes, don’t add too much soup, otherwise you won’t be able to dip the cakes in and eat them.

But don’t leave too much, otherwise you won’t have that thick lake mouth feeling. For fish head puff pastry, this texture is the essence of the whole dish.

When the soup simmered down a little, Lin Xu poured some lard along the edge of the pot, picked up the pot and shook it twice to mix the fat and soup.

Then pick it up, put it on a prepared extra large disc, and carefully slide the fish head in.

The plate is specially made, somewhat deep, and comes with a complete set of plate holders underneath, where solid alcohol can be placed for heating.

When the big fish came out of the pot, Lin Xu shouted outside:

"Ready to eat!"

The sun is nice today and there is no wind, so we just have lunch in the yard in the sun.

Several of Su Peipei's colleagues and Mi Lan's best friends looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't help wiping the saliva from the corners of their mouths. This was done by Boss Lin. I will take two photos later and send them out for fun.

Lin Xu took the glutinous rice lotus root out of the pot, removed the toothpicks and cut them into hob pieces and placed them on a plate. Then he poured thick caramel sauce on them, and the sweet aroma wafted out.

When he came out with the dishes, he found that the ladies had already taken their seats, but the three old fishermen had not returned yet.

Tsk, from my sister-in-law to my mother-in-law, and then to Aunt Sun, when they see the delicious food, they all become "forgetting their husbands".

Lin Xu looked at Shen Jiayue who was playing with her mobile phone and asked:

"Yueyue, call our dad and ask them to come back for dinner. It won't taste good after it gets cold."

"I just fought, and I said I won't come back to eat if I can't catch any fish... Lele, don't eat it secretly. I've been staring at this glutinous rice lotus root for a long time. It's not okay for you to steal a piece of it, but you still eat it?"

Geng Lele smiled sheepishly:

"I'll help Brother Xu taste the salty...last piece!"

If you can’t catch a fish, you won’t come back for dinner?

Lin Xu looked in the direction of the pond and stretched out his hand to scratch Dundun's chin.

Baby, how about you give Bingshan...oh no, speed up lunch?
