But now it’s just to taste the delicious food, so steps like carving can be dispensed with.

If you have the time, why not make a few more and let your family taste them?

Lin Xu prepared the tofu piece by piece, and his cousin Jia Xingwang was already stunned:

"This tofu is really hard work. What are you going to do later?"

Lin Xu said:

"After a while, pat a layer of dry flour on the surface and fry it first, then put it into the pot and simmer it with stock and shrimp roe. Once the flavor is absorbed, you can take it out of the pot and put it on the plate."

There are actually many ways to make this kind of tofu. It can be made in a pot, or it can be cooked by simmering, braising, stewing, etc.

Tofu is a versatile ingredient, and the taste is the same no matter how it is cooked, so this gives more possibilities for mirror-mounted tofu.

After the meat filling was used up, Lin Xu completely crushed the remaining tofu, added some minced pork fat and egg whites, and made first-grade tofu again.

The elderly at home like this dish, so I took the opportunity to make some.

It tastes delicious and nutritious, and can effectively replenish protein. Eating it in moderation will only do good to your body and not do any harm.

After mixing the tofu with lard and egg whites, Lin Xu did not start cooking immediately. Instead, he went outside and asked Chen Yuejin and Shen Guofang carefully about their arrival time.

It is basic courtesy to wait until the guests arrive to start the meal, but you cannot let people come and eat leftovers.

"We will arrive at Yinzhou East at 5:15. Yueyue and I will drive to pick him up later...Brother-in-law, you should prepare as you should. My parents are not outsiders, so there is no need to be so polite."

Although she knows that her parents will be nagging her when they come, Chen Yan still behaves very positively. After all, she can always be a child in front of her parents.

Lin Xu looked at the time and said:

"Okay, then I'll cook the other dishes first, and then we'll start having dinner when you guys arrive."

He returned to the kitchen, took out a dried duck from the refrigerator, paired it with a chicken and a piece of bacon trotters, cut it into large pieces, splashed water first, and then put it into the pot for stewing.

This method is more common in the south. It combines the taste of ham, the umami of chicken and the texture of air-dried duck.

The whole dish can be eaten with meat, soup, or rice. There are many ways to eat it. In addition, it is simple to make and even the seasoning step can be omitted. It is very popular.

Not long after, Shen Jiayue drove to the high-speed rail station with Chen Yan.

As soon as the two left, Dundun sneaked out of the restaurant with his grasshopper cage in his mouth.

Lin Xu smiled and asked after seeing it:

"What, you want to catch a grasshopper and put it in? Unfortunately it's not the season, so I can't catch it for you."

Dundun doesn't care about this. He just hopes that his aunt won't pay attention to him. As long as Chen Yuejin and his wife come over, the little guy will have a backer.

At this time, take out the grasshopper cage and play with it in front of Chen Yan. If she runs and kicks like a crazy woman, she will definitely be punished. If she doesn't kick, she will definitely not be able to bear it.

To put it bluntly, the little guy just wants to use this grasshopper cage to fish and enforce law.

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

Don’t worry, my aunt won’t take the bait!

Lin Xu naturally didn't understand the little baby's thoughts. He thought that Dundun slept in the restaurant all afternoon and was probably hungry, so he fished out a big yellow loach from the pool, quickly cleaned it up, and used salt to wash away the mucus on the surface.

For a moment.

Then remove the meat from the loach, cut it into dices, mix it with egg yolk, and put it into a steamer for steaming.

A loach can probably make a kitten feel full.

After the loach is steamed, pour it into a large dinner plate and spread it out to dry. When it is not hot, take it outside. The little guy who is playing the grasshopper cage as a football immediately flies from a distance like a wild boar coming down the mountain to look for food.

Coming running.

It is now accustomed to eating meat mixed with egg yolks. When it puts its head on the plate, it turns on the showy rice mode.

Dundun finished her meal and squatted comfortably at the door of the kitchen to wash her face.

Lin Xu put away the dishes, washed them, and then returned to the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

He first put the first-grade tofu into the pot for steaming, then set up the wok, put some lard in the pot, heated it up and brought over the mirror-studded tofu stuffed with meat filling, with a thin layer hanging on the surface. Dry powder and put it into the oil pan for frying.

Fry the bottom until golden brown, then carefully flip over.

When all the surface of the tofu is fried, add a large bowl of stock, add some shrimp roe, pour in a little dark soy sauce, two pieces of rock sugar, and start simmering.

While he was busy, Shen Guofu returned from climbing the mountain.

He hasn't climbed to Longshou Peak yet, but I don't blame him. The main reason is that there are too many tourists on the mountain and it's hard to speed up, so I climbed to the viewing pavilion halfway up the mountain. The couple discussed it and decided to climb again tomorrow morning.

"Huh... there are so many tourists, we urgently need to expand."

For a businessman, tourists represent income. As long as the tourists are well served, the money will keep rolling in.

Although Longshou Peak is not big, it has all the precipitous beauty it should have, and the tickets are cheap, so it’s no wonder tourists come here.

Lao Shen took a sip of water and asked Lin Xu

"What are you having for dinner today?"

"First-grade tofu, mirror-mounted tofu, chicken, duck and turkey stewed with live chicken..."

As Lin Xuzheng was talking, Shen Guofu couldn't wait to ask:

“Can the braised pork be eaten?”

"That's it."

These words made Lao Shen feel reassured, and he was just waiting to taste it, hoping to enjoy it.

Lin Xu returned to the kitchen and touched the casserole with his hand. It was slightly warm and did not feel hot at all. He took off the jade buckle paper that sealed the outside of the casserole and opened the lid. The faint aroma of wine and bamboo came out. Floated out of the pot.

The aroma of meat is subtle, but it does not mean that it is not delicious. On the contrary, it is a sign that the aroma is completely absorbed into the meat.

At this time, the pork belly in the pot has been smoked with a layer of red, especially the skin. After the excess fat has been steamed out, coupled with the smoked red color, it looks crystal clear and very attractive.

Take out the pork belly and smell it carefully. You can smell the fragrant meat aroma in the wine aroma. The aroma is also mixed with the fragrance of bamboo and the sweetness of honey, which makes people greedy.

The bamboo grate in the pot also changed color now, from the original green to slightly yellow, with fine water droplets still hanging on the surface.

Obviously, when the temperature in the pot is high, these bamboo grates are also smoked and sweat slightly.

When you take out the bamboo grate, you can see a thin layer of fat on the bottom of the pot. This is all steamed out from the meat and can be reserved for cooking.

Shi Wenming looked at the pot of braised pork and was a little surprised:

"Oh, this meat looks really good. How about just slicing it and eating it, Xiaoxu?"

Lin Xu nodded:

"Yes, you can eat it sliced ​​directly, or you can spread it on hot rice, or sandwich it with hot steamed buns to bring out the aroma before eating."

Now the meat's aroma is all contained in the meat. Only when it encounters heat will the meat's aroma come out again.

After saying that, he cut the pork belly into one-inch-wide strips, and then cut it into slices with a knife. When cutting, you can clearly feel that the meat has become solid.

After the meat was cut, Lin Xu picked up a piece and put it into his mouth. The texture of the meat was denser due to the tendons of the skin, and it tasted fragrant and delicious, a bit like the taste of free-range pigs.

Damn, it’s delicious!

Today’s work was not in vain!

The meat slices are salty and delicious, and there is also the sweet taste of honey, which is really delicious.

When I was making it, I was afraid of overturning it, so I used a piece of pork belly. Now it seems that I made too little, so I probably won’t have enough to eat today.

But it doesn’t matter, just continue cooking it tomorrow. With the skills at hand, it’s easy to eat pot-braised pork.

At almost six o'clock, Shen Jiayue drove Chen Yuejin and his wife to the scenic spot.

When the relatives gathered together and were busy chatting, Dundun ran up to his aunt with the grasshopper cage in his mouth, deliberately kicked her gently with his paws, and looked at her provocatively.

Just as Chen Yan was about to kick him away, he suddenly realized that his parents were there, and he immediately understood the little guy's sinister intentions.

She gave Dundun a hard look:

Little fat cat, just wait for me. I’ll let you feel my aunt’s love for you when I get the chance!
