Since the first live broadcast of roast duck, both relatives and friends in Yanjing have tasted the roast duck made by Lin Xu. Shen Jiayue's grandfather Han Jitong felt that it was not enough after eating it, and even packed up the rest.

I plan to save it for a late night snack.

But among everyone, only Tan Yajun, who went on a business trip to southern Yunnan, had not eaten it yet.

It seems that he just returned to the capital yesterday, and unexpectedly he hastily booked a private room in the store today, specifying that he wants to eat roast duck.

Lin Xu doesn’t have any objections to this:

"Okay, I have nothing to do at noon. I will roast a duck for him and go to the private room to slice it myself."

Uncle Tan once helped Lin Ji. When it was still a small store, he got the catering business of the Audit Office. The entire audit office even ordered lunch from here.

Such elders should naturally be treated with care.

After deciding to cook roast duck, Lin Xu asked:

"Uncle Tan, why are you treating us today?"

"I don't know. It seems that I was having dinner with the leader of the Audit Office, and I specifically told him not to drink. Maybe he was discussing some business."

Lin Xu nodded and wrote it down.

Since you are having dinner with the leaders of the Audit Office, you should be as simple as possible to avoid the leaders being disgusted.

It didn’t take long for the chefs to have their elbows ready.

The round elbow looked very beautiful. Lin Xu spread a layer of honey on the skin of the meat, put it in a special oil pan for elbows, and fried it until the skin turned slightly red.

Then he prepared a pot of soup stock, put green onion slices, ginger slices, rice wine, light soy sauce, sugar color, and rock sugar into it, and brought it to a boil over high heat. While the soup stock was boiling, he took a piece of gauze and put some commonly used Chinese medicine in it.

.

For example, medicinal materials such as tangerine peel, dried dates, astragalus, Codonopsis pilosula, licorice, Amomum villosum, safflower, cordyceps flowers, cinnamon bark, galangal, etc., put them all in proportion, tie the gauze tightly, scald them with hot water first, and wash off the surface Dust, and then throw it into the soup stock for marinating.

When making Su Zao Tang for the first time, the medicinal ingredients must be doubled, so that the aroma of the medicinal ingredients can keep pace with the aroma of the meat, and the role of the medicinal ingredients can be fully exerted.

In fact, Su Zao Tang is the same as braised soup, the older the better, and during the cooking process, medicinal materials must be continuously added to it to keep the aroma of the medicine consistent.

The soup should be simmered for a while to fully integrate the medicinal flavor into the soup.

The elbow cooked in this way is more delicious.

About half an hour later, the aroma of the medicine had become very strong. Lin Xu put the oiled elbow in, and at the same time, he turned down the heat to keep the soy sauce soup in the pot slightly boiling and started to simmer.< /p>

"It feels like a traditional Chinese medicine store..."

Wei Gan sniffed, a little uncomfortable with the smell.

Xu Xinhua, who came to visit us upstairs, liked it very much:

"Boss, are you preparing to serve new dishes?"

Although the taste is weird, it looks like braised food. In that case, it should be from our braised food department, right?

Lin Xu said:

"This is Su-made elbow, stewed with medicinal herbs. It is not new in the store, but customers can make reservations."

This traditional dish, Su Zao Elbow, is only popular among the older generation of Beijing residents, so even if it is new, not many people eat it, and it is quite troublesome to make.

But in order to let old neighbors eat, Lin Xucai adopted the sales strategy of "no new products, only pre-orders".

If you want to order in advance, the store can prepare it leisurely. At the same time, Su Zao soup has the opportunity to be cooked every day. In this way, the soup becomes an old soup and the old neighbors can also taste the delicious taste. It’s the best of both worlds.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xinhua was a little disappointed, but it was okay to make a reservation. He asked:

"So does this dish belong to the braised food department or upstairs?"

"It's upstairs. I have to steam it later. It's too troublesome to do it downstairs. It's more convenient to do it upstairs."

Since the braised food department opened a small window, Xu Xinhua's appetite has grown bigger and bigger while he was chatting. He wishes he could even get the roast duck into the braised food department, and by the way, change the name to the roasted braised food department.

But he was just flirting with this. If the braised food department and the roast duck department were really merged, he, the head chef, would probably become his deputy.

The elbow in the pot has been simmering for an hour, and the medicinal aroma is rich.

Lin Xu took out the elbows with a slotted spoon and placed them on a large tray with the skin facing up.

Let it cool first, then use a kitchen knife to make cross cuts on the skin of the meat. The cutter separates the skin of the meat, but the elbow meat below is still connected. This kind of cutter is called a thousand-serial knife.

After finishing the cutting, take a big bowl and put the elbow in it with the skin side down.

Put it away and use a spoon to scoop up the soy sauce soup in the pot and pour it on the elbows. Put the big bowl into the steaming cabinet and start steaming.

The medicinal flavor in Su Zao soup is too strong, so just cook the meat in the soup and let the meat absorb the aroma of the medicinal ingredients. The subsequent steaming is to mix the medicinal aroma with the meat aroma, so that the medicinal taste is better.

It is softer and more acceptable to eat.

At the same time, the flower knife on the skin of the elbow can also allow the medicinal materials to penetrate deep into the inside of the elbow.

While he was busy making elbows, at Deng Lisong's house, a cheerful Cai Sen was thanking the military advisor:

"Damn, you idiot, your idea really came true. When I get married to Yuanyuan, I will definitely give you a whole fan of pork as a thank you gift."

In the past, it was said that once a matchmaker was established, the man would give pork to the matchmaker to express his gratitude.

At first it was a piece of meat, then it was a whole pig hind leg, and then it was half a pig or something like that. The gifts in return became more and more.

Although Deng Lisong was not the matchmaker between Cai Sen and Chen Yuanyuan, he came up with the idea and it was very successful, so Cai Sen immediately decided to give the highest standard of matchmaking gifts - a whole fan of pork.

Deng Lisong, who was carving the jade tripod, was very calm:

"Why are you giving me that thing? It's just me and the nanny here. We can't finish a pig in half a year. Are you planning to make me eat homemade zombie meat?"

Cai Sen laughed:

"Isn't this just to express my gratitude?"

While the two were talking, George stood at the door of the studio and looked inside. He wanted to come in and play, but Dundun warned him not to come in, so the little guy was very conflicted.

Cai Sen casually took the old newspaper that was used to cushion jade objects nearby, tore off half of it, kneaded it into a round ball, and then wrapped the paper ball with large tape.

Soon a paper football was completed.

He threw it hard outside, and the newspaper ball flew out quickly. George immediately caught up with him and started playing football happily outside, forgetting about entering the studio.

After teasing Maomao, Cai Sen said:

"Yuanyuan said that I did a good job escorting him yesterday and asked me to go to Linji to eat Su Zao elbow at noon. You can come with me. It will also allow George to play with Dundun for a while."

If we simply go to eat, Deng Lisong, who is afraid of society, will not agree.

But when it comes to letting George go play with Dundun, his old father has nothing to hesitate about.

"Okay, then I'll tell Auntie that we won't be cooking at noon, and we'll go to Lin's for dinner together, and by the way, we'll try the roast duck cooked by Boss Lin."

He put down the carving knife, took his mobile phone and sent a message to his aunt, telling him about going to Linji for lunch at noon, and then explained:

"I will transfer 100,000 yuan to you later. When you get to the store, you go to the front desk to apply for a card. They are open for business. You can't just eat and drink for free. You have to take care of Boss Lin's business."

"Okay!"

At 11 o'clock in the morning, Deng Lisong hugged George and got into the Buick Century business car driven by Cai Sen with the nanny.

When they arrived at the store, Chen Yuanyuan had already arrived. At this time, she was being pestered by Zeng Xiaoqi and Chen Yan to tell her about their relationship.

Chen Yuanyuan said loudly:

"I think it feels good to be protected by someone, and it warms my heart. Unfortunately, I am not a man. If I were a man, I would definitely help him."

Chen Yan:?????????

I didn't understand, but I was shocked.

How strong of a person does it take to say something like this?

But it does feel good to be protected. I remember when Ren Jie and I were catching a group of fugitives at a street stall, someone threatened Ren Jie with himself, and then that person received an elbow from the police academy Sanda champion.

While they were chatting, several people caught a glimpse of Cai Sen walking into the store and immediately started to cheer:

"Woohoo, the hot-blooded knight who protects the princess is here!"

Upstairs, Shen Jiayue, who heard the cheers, waved her hand to Lin Xu:

"Xubao, Xubao, quickly take out the elbow. Sister Yuanyuan's imperial guard is here. Let him give him a big elbow to patch up..."
