Chapter 164: Brother, This Crab Is Drowning, Why Don’t We Steam It? [Additional Updates for Subscribed Readers]

Although the seaweed and egg drop soup in the store is very popular with customers.

But after the store was upgraded.

This dish alone cannot satisfy the demand, and new soups must be added.

Originally, Lin Xu planned to go to Diaoyutai to collect wool.

Unexpectedly, the system actually gave a reward, and it was perfect.

What are you waiting for?

"lottery!"

In the light curtain in my mind, the lottery plate was filled with the names of various soups, such as Wensi tofu, white fungus in clear soup, boiled cabbage, fish maw in golden soup, shark's fin in soup, etc.

Lin Xu was so greedy that he wanted to get it in his store.

Wait for the lottery wheel to spin.

He pressed the lottery button excitedly.

Soon, the system prompt sounded in my mind:

"Congratulations to the host for getting the perfect soup - crucian carp and tofu soup."

Lin Xu:? ? ? ? ?

The soup displayed was such a famous one, but I got such a home-style soup. And the difference between the seller’s show and the buyer’s show on the evening was not that big, right?

System, I seriously suspect that you are involved in false propaganda!

Actually this soup is pretty good too.

It is considered a hot-selling soup in restaurants.

It's just a little different from the famous dishes I saw before the lottery.

I remember that my senior brother made tofu in milk soup in the store before, and it tasted very delicious. Now I have finally mastered the recipe of similar dishes.

If you have a chance, you can have a PK with your senior brother.

Let's see who makes it taste better.

"Meow~~"

While he was thinking about it, Dundun grabbed Lin Xu's shoulders and looked at the night scene outside, and let out a faint cry.

Lin Xu patted it like a child:

"Do you want to go home? We'll leave right away."

The car boy locked the rolling shutter door, handed the key to Lin Xu, and handed over the handbag containing all of Dundun's toys:

"Do you want us to help you take it upstairs?"

"No, I can lift it. You all go back quickly."

Lin Xu held Dundun in one hand and carried the bag in the other hand, and slowly returned home.

After arriving home.

Dundun immediately ran to the cat climbing frame to sharpen his claws for a while, then picked a smaller cardboard box, stuffed his fat self into it, and started to sleep.

Lin Xu covered it with a small blanket, went to the bathroom to take a bath, changed into the home clothes bought by his mother-in-law, and stuffed the dirty clothes into the washing machine.

After finishing all this work, he did not go to bed immediately. Instead, he sat in front of the computer, opened the video material he had shot before, selected the ones with store content, re-edited them, and made a commemorative video of Lin Ji Food.

The content of the video is very complex.

There are photos of him and his customers, scenes that are hard to find in the store during peak times, behind-the-scenes from previous video shoots, and flashes of Shen Jiayue and others.

Once the video is ready, choose to upload it directly.

Entering the review stage, he turned off the computer, dried the clothes in the washing machine, then lay on the bed and chatted with his baby Shen on his mobile phone.

"The Zaozhuang Spicy Chicken dish is very popular. My dad's eyes immediately lit up when he saw the chicken kidneys on it. He said to taste it while putting it in his bowl."

Finally able to chat, Shen Jiayue couldn't wait to start sharing her parents' embarrassing things.

This made Lin Xu very emotional.

It seems that the mother-in-law and father-in-law sometimes want to hit someone. They really do not believe that a stick will produce a filial son, but they just want to get angry.

Who would have thought that when this girl was chatting with her boyfriend, she would talk about embarrassing things about her parents?

He felt that if he continued to chat, he would know all the secrets of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so he quickly changed the topic:

"I have never thought about making the crab roe buns that I promised you to make. I can start it after I get to Diaoyutai because my senior brother said that they just bought a batch of June roe buns from the kitchen. They are the best among crabs and I can use them. Come and practice your skills.”

Shen Jiayue felt a little sorry. She just said something casually unintentionally. She didn't expect that Xu Bao was still thinking about it several days later and specifically explained it to her.

I am so lucky to have such a wonderful boyfriend!

She smiled and said:

"You work so hard, but you can just do it if you don't do it."

I don’t really want to do it, but who can let everyone related to you trigger reward tasks?

Lin Xu smiled helplessly.

After the crab roe buns are made, an excellent aquatic product dish will be rewarded.

Although it is an excellent level, as long as you master the dishes, it is still very easy to upgrade. For example, the dish upgrade card, such as asking the senior brother to teach you how to make it, etc., can trigger the dish upgrade mechanism.

In order to prevent the mission from failing, he took a precaution in advance:

"If it doesn't taste good, you can't dislike it."

"No, as long as it's made by you, everything will taste delicious."

Well, with these words, Lin Xu felt more at ease about completing the task of crab roe buns.

While the two were chatting, the topic of Lin Ji's food was very lively.

Because the lottery has just been drawn.

The top 20 netizens who liked the post all received the promised bonuses.

This made other netizens envious and began to look forward to the next wave of rewards.

Fat people also have small waists: Are there any similar rewards? I feel like I'm having diarrhea right now, and all kinds of jokes about Boss Lin are constantly spinning in my mind.

SYS Literary Saint: Me too, but I found out too late. My book "Boss Lin vs. the Queen of Egypt" didn't get very many likes, so I missed out on the grand prize!

Liangshan is so dry: My book "Boss Lin's Night Attack on the Ultra Saint" is also covered in dust. It's a pity that people nowadays are so ignorant.

I, the keyboard warrior, cannot sit idly by: who can understand the pain of ranking 21st?

I hung up on Thief Six: Are you ranked 21st upstairs?

I, the keyboard warrior, can't sit idly by: No, I feel so uncomfortable even if I take the role. Do you think the person ranked 21st has already cried to death in the toilet?

Zhishen Burying Flower: But no, another joke written by 21 ranked 7th, and they are counting money at the moment.

I, the keyboard warrior, can’t sit idly by:? ? ? ?

I hang up Thief Six:? ? ? ?

Liangshan is so dry:? ? ? ?

While netizens were discussing in full swing, Panda, who had just spent more than 50,000 yuan, suddenly posted another update:

"Don't be discouraged if you missed the grand prize. Come to my live broadcast room and snap up low-priced products. Friends who place orders in the 6th, 66th, 166th, 266th and other double 6th places will receive a gift package with full cash rebate. , link: https…”

Taking advantage of the opportunity to distribute money and the fact that Lin Ji’s food topic was relatively hot at this moment, Panda Chicken Thief launched a wave of advertising to attract traffic.

Soon, many netizens flocked to the live broadcast room where he and Wu Kexin were bringing the goods.

It's about four o'clock in the morning.

Lin Xu, who originally planned to sleep in, woke up habitually.

He checked the time, squinted for a while, and after confirming that he couldn't fall asleep, he got up helplessly, washed up, went downstairs, and strolled to Caoji Mutton Soup Shop at the entrance of Yingchun Street for breakfast.

From afar, you can see the large soup pot standing at the entrance of Caoji Mutton Soup Shop, which is filled with various mutton bones, mutton and other ingredients. The rich and delicious aroma can be smelled throughout the street.

There are two basins next to the cauldron.

In one basin is chopped mutton, and in the other basin are ingredients such as lungs, liver, head meat, and blood. This is the so-called haggis.

Boss Cao of the mutton soup shop is making mutton soup with a big strainer.

Grab a handful of cooked meat from the basin and put it on the electronic scale. After making sure that the weight is OK, put it into the large pan and blanch it in the rolling pot for a while, bumping it up and down a few times, and let the boiling mutton soup scald the meat. , burn out the fragrance.

Then put it into a bowl.

Add a large spoonful of thick and white mutton soup, sprinkle some chopped green onion and coriander, and a mutton soup is ready.

While he was busy, shouts for adding soup would be heard from time to time inside and outside the house.

Well, refills of soup are free at the mutton soup shop, and people who eat here will basically drink two or three bowls.

Especially for people who have to stay in an air-conditioned room during the day, drinking two bowls of hot mutton soup will not only make the whole body clear, but also effectively prevent air-conditioning sickness.

On the other side of the store door is a biscuit oven.

Boss Cao's wife is busy making pancakes.

Knead the dough for a while and spread it with pastry, then divide it into dough balls, roll it out and sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake it on the biscuit oven.

The skin of the prepared sesame cake is crispy and crumbly.

The inside is filled with soft and tender sesame cake cores.

Seeing Lin Xu coming over, Boss Cao smiled and said hello:

"Good morning, Boss Lin, what can I have something to eat?"

"A big bowl of haggis soup and two sesame seed cakes."

After saying this, Lin Xu realized that there were no seats outside. He smiled and said:

"Boss Cao's business here is getting better and better."

"Aren't these all the customers you brought? Our Yingchun Street is about to become a food street in the capital. I'll see someone come here to check in."

While looking for a seat.

Uncle Yu's shout came from inside:

"Boss Xiao Lin, there is a place reserved for you here."

Lin Xu walked in and saw Uncle Yu in a vest with a bowl full of mutton soup in front of him.

Judging from the way he was sweating profusely, he must have finished eating the meat, and another bowl of soup was slipping through his mouth.

"Come and have a seat. There's air conditioning inside. Let's cool down."

Uncle Yu greeted warmly.

As soon as Lin Xu walked in and sat down, the waiter in the store brought a large bowl of mutton soup and a small bamboo basket with freshly baked pancakes.

The rich flavor of the noodles immediately brought out the greed in Lin Xu's stomach.

"Is it going to be completely closed today?"

Uncle Yu asked with a smile.

"Yes, it is completely closed, but the store is closed, but I can't stay idle. I have to go to Diaoyutai to help my senior brother. In the next month, I will also become an office worker."

I used to think that after opening a store, I would never be able to work again for the rest of my life.

Who would have thought that in just one month, he would suddenly become a migrant worker.

Destiny is really unpredictable.

Lin Xu tasted the haggis soup, opened the salt shaker on the table, added a little salt to the bowl, stirred it and tasted it again. The taste of the soup was indeed much brighter.

This type of mutton soup does not contain salt by default, and customers have to add it themselves if they want to eat it.

In addition to salt, you can also add pepper and mutton oil chili.

Well, the mutton oil chili here from Boss Cao is really amazing.

There is a large bowl of solidified mutton oil chili on every table. It looks ordinary and you can't even smell it when you hold the bowl.

But use a spoon to dig out a piece and add it to the bowl.

The chili peppers that were originally condensed into hard lumps immediately melted into red chili oil, exuding a rich spicy flavor and the unique umami flavor of mutton.

Well, the smell is enough to make you want to eat it, just smell it.

Uncle Yu picked up the mutton soup, blew it on, and took a small sip:

"Hey, it's really embarrassing to go to work in Diaoyutai, but don't forget us old customers. Hurry up and renovate it and open it quickly. We can wait to eat."

"Yes, yes. Sister Jing from the company will keep an eye on the renovation progress. I won't worry about that. When it's done, I'll bring people in."

Lin Xu stirred the mutton oil chili in the bowl with a spoon to spread it.

Then he scooped up a piece of lung and put it into his mouth. It tasted soft and mixed with the rich aroma of mutton soup. It was so delicious!

When you eat haggis, you are eating the different textures and flavors of various parts of the sheep.

Take a bite of the haggis, and then take a bite of the crispy and crumbly sesame cake.

By the way, take a spoon and scoop some hot soup down smoothly.

This taste is really good.

Don’t be in a hurry to eat the meat in the bowl. Drink the soup when you first come in, and then add another bowl of soup when the soup in the bowl is almost finished. Add more coriander at the same time, so you can eat the meat with the soup. It’s a pleasure!

It's a pity that Lin Xu doesn't have the habit of drinking soup, otherwise such a delicious soup would make him have to have another bowl.

Didn’t you see that Uncle Yu refilled his bowl twice?

After eating and drinking, Uncle Yu rushed to pay, and the two of them left the mutton soup shop one after another.

At this time, Lin Xu remembered making winter melon candy. He looked at Uncle Yu who was wiping sweat with a tissue and asked:

"Uncle, do you have white winter melon in your store?"

Winter melons are divided into green-skinned and white-skinned. White-skinned winter melons grow slowly, are large, and are not easy to sell. Therefore, they have been replaced by green-skinned winter melons that are smaller, grow faster and have higher yields.

But when it comes to eating, white-skinned winter melon tastes better.

Uncle Yu shook his head:

"Not today. The ones delivered today are all green-skinned winter melons. Now there are less and less white-skinned winter melons. Do you want to use them? If so, I will get some tomorrow."

Lin Xu said:

"Then you come in, I plan to make some winter melon candies while I'm not busy now."

"Winter melon candy? This is all I like, can you make more? I'll pay you for the processing fee, and I'll round up the ingredients. Just wait for tomorrow. I'll have a cart of white winter melon delivered early in the morning."

Come to the store entrance.

Uncle Yu went to his supermarket.

Lin Xu opened the store door and checked again to make sure there were no missing supplies, then locked the door and went back upstairs to play with Dundun.

Since there are no white-skinned winter melons, let’s go to work in Diaoyutai today.

By the way, let Dundun get familiar with the environment there.

Well, in order to increase the turnover of Building No. 2, Xie Baomin specifically asked Lin Xu to take Dundun with him when he went there, so that the lucky cat could continue to play its strengths.

Naturally, he didn't know that Dundun was a magic tool for attracting wealth, it was just a gimmick.

In order to make Dundun feel comfortable while staying at Diaoyutai, Xie Baomin took away the small mat and cat litter box that Dundun used to sleep on the cashier counter when he left last night.

It just so happened that Lin Xu didn't want to leave Dundun alone at home.

So I agreed.

It's about eight o'clock in the morning.

When Dou Wenjing came to work.

Lin Xu carried Dundun downstairs.

When he arrived at the door of the store and handed the key to Dou Wenjing, he threw the small advertisement stuffed on the windshield into the trash can and then sat in the car with Dundun in his arms.

Put on your sunglasses and start the car.

Go straight to the Diaoyutai.

Lin Da Workers is officially launched today.

When he arrived at the entrance of Diaoyutai, Xie Baomin was already waiting. He took a completed pass in his hand, opened the door and sat on the passenger seat, and put the pass behind the windshield.

With this pass, this big G can enter and exit Diaoyutai smoothly.

After driving to Building 2, Lin Xu parked the car, then got out of the car with Dundun in his arms, and followed Xie Baomin into the restaurant in Building 2.

On the table at the front desk, the small mat that Dundun used to sleep on has been laid out, and there is a small pink pillow next to it. At first glance, it fits a macho man like Dundun.

As soon as she entered the door, a twenty-six or seven-year-old woman in professional attire came over with a smile. When she saw Dundun in Lin Xu's arms, her eyes suddenly lit up and her steps became much brisker:

"Wow, you are Dundun, right? What a cute little kitten, can I hug you?"

She is very beautiful, with her hair tied back and light makeup on her face. Her smile is friendly and makes people feel calm unconsciously.

Lin Xu didn't mind being hugged by others, he smiled and said:

"Okay, but my cat may not necessarily..."

Before he finished speaking, Dundun straightened up in his arms and leaned his upper body towards the front desk manager in front of him, just like those children who want to be hugged.

Lin Xu: "..."

Damn it, just slap me in the face in front of outsiders!

"My name is Shu Yun. Welcome Boss Lin to work in our Building No. 2."

"you know me?"

"You helped us win the championship in Building 2. Who doesn't know you in Diaoyutai? If we didn't know that you don't like the excitement, we would have lined up to welcome you."

Lin Xu was originally a little worried that Dundun wouldn't adapt.

Who knew that this guy was curled up in Shu Yun's arms obediently, looking like he was enjoying himself.

"Then let Dundun stay at the front desk, and my senior brother and I will go to the kitchen to take a look."

"Okay, Boss Lin, I will take good care of it."

After passing through the quiet and high-end dining area, Lin Xu was led by Xie Baomin to the kitchen of Building 2.

The large kitchen makes people mistakenly think that they are in a factory workshop. There are storage rooms for dry products, storage rooms for pickled products, storage rooms for fresh food, roasting rooms, and vegetable washing rooms...

Along the way, Lin Xu felt like Grandma Liu coming to the Grand View Garden. It was a real eye-opener.

He walked around, greeted the chefs here one by one, and then came to his stove.

Well, in order for Lin Xu to better prepare the "Home" dish, Lin Xu not only had a stove to himself, but also an oversized operating table.

After getting familiar with the environment here.

Lin Xu thought of the crab roe buns he had promised to Classmate Shen last night, and curiously asked his senior brother:

"Brother, where are the aquatic products here? I want to take a look and let the new store learn from it."

Xie Baomin led him to the aquatic area.

It is divided into fresh water area and sea water area, which contains a variety of fresh seafood and aquatic products.

"These are some of the more common ones. If we meet a customer with special requirements, we will make a reservation in advance. For example, last year, we met a customer who wanted to eat dragon cakes and ordered a 60 to 70-pound dragon directly from Hainan. Come over here."

Dragon?

This involves Lin Xu's knowledge blind spot.

"Senior brother, what is Long Zhen?"

"It's just a giant grouper. It's big in size and has good meat quality. Apart from the high price, there's nothing wrong with it."

Looking at it, Lin Xu saw crabs in the freshwater area.

"Is this June Yellow?"

"Yes, this batch of June yellows are the best. Not only are they big in size, but they also have a lot of yellow and cream. They are not only suitable for eating directly, but also suitable for making stuffings and some dishes, such as crab roe tofu..."

While he was talking.

Lin Xu pointed at a few motionless crabs in the water and said:

"Brother, these crabs seem to have drowned. How about we steam them?"
