Chapter 1041 - 429: The Bad Cat Sues First! Chen Yan: I’m Clearly the One Being Bullied! Honey Ginkgo!

Mi Lan was just wondering why Lin Xu hadn’t come over when it was time to eat, turns out he was tinkering with a new dish.

She looked at the ginkgo covered in honey on the plate, a bit incredulous that ginkgo could look so pretty:

"It looks tempting... I’m the oldest here, so I’ll dig in first!"

Chen Yan glanced over and said:

"This dish, it’s like that famous Poetry and Etiquette Ginkgo from Lu cuisine, right?"

Lin Xu sat down, picked up a slice of pressed pig head meat and put it in his mouth:

"Yes, the same, but when plating Poetry and Etiquette Ginkgo, you have to add the carved words Poetry and Etiquette. It’s a well-known dish at Confucius’ feasts, with a lot of rules, every dish has its origin and story."

As soon as Poetry and Etiquette Ginkgo is mentioned, the weight of history rushes in.

But Lin Xu doesn’t like to burden food with too much content, honey ginkgo is more fitting, it’s just a simple dessert dish, no need for unnecessary pressure.

Mi Lan picked up a piece, tasted it, and couldn’t help giving Lin Xu a thumbs up:

"Not as sweet as I imagined, but more fragrant than expected, especially the scent of osmanthus, it’s really delicious... Oh my, I need to take a picture, coming to Lin Ji’s for a meal will make my bunch of friends so envious!"

She picked up her phone, took a group photo with Lin Xu, Shen Jiayue, Chen Yan, Zeng Xiaoqi, and others, then took a shot of the honey ginkgo on the table and posted it in her circle of friends.

"The ginkgo that was hard to sell before has become a top-notch delicacy in Lin Ji’s Food under Boss Lin’s hands. Eating ginkgo on a snowy day, delightful!"

Soon, several of her friends started becoming active in the comments section.

"Wow, so Boss Lin was filming the video at your place, I was wondering about those many ginkgo trees."

"Hurry and learn from Boss Lin, so we can have honey ginkgo to eat."

"Not inviting me for a meal, know why it’s snowing today? I’m crying!"

"Ask if Lin Ji will serve this dish, if so, take the opportunity to sell the ginkgo to them. With Lin Ji’s high sales, a little ginkgo should be snapped up in no time?"

Seeing her friends’ comments, Mi Lan was about to put the phone away when she suddenly found the last comment quite constructive.

Those gingko are piling up in her warehouse, bound to be eaten by bugs sooner or later. Instead, why not sell them to Lin Ji’s Food at a bargain? At least they won’t go to waste.

Thinking of this, she looked at Lin Xu and asked:

"Boss Lin, are you planning to serve this honey ginkgo in the restaurant?"

"Not planning to for now... because there’s no ginkgo supply. Why the face, Mi Lan? Do you have a lot of ginkgo?"

Mi Lan said ruefully:

"Hundreds of acres of ginkgo garden, if the ginkgo isn’t picked it rots and smells, so in our warehouse, there are at least a few thousand pounds of processed ginkgo. Someone bought them before, but the price was too low, and we have no energy for retailing them online..."

Wow, so much?

Lin Xu immediately said:

"Then we’ll buy them all for Lin Ji’s Food, the price will be up to you, Mi Lan."

Mi Lan thought for a moment, didn’t want money:

"Our eco-garden’s environment is all good, it’s loved by tourists, but the food is average. Chefs with skills don’t stay, and the half-skilled chefs don’t satisfy customers... While there’s no business in winter, could I let the chefs from the eco-garden come and train here?"

Training?

Lin Xu didn’t refuse.

He said with a smile:

"No problem, when they come, I’ll design a menu that suits your eco-garden’s features, such places need specialty dishes to attract customers."

Mi Lan was so excited she forgot about eating:

"That’s wonderful, thank you, Boss Lin!"

Lin Xu smiled and waved his hand:

"No need to thank, you and Yan are good friends, we all help each other."

Just then, dishes like casserole fatty intestines stew and ginger duck were served, everyone got a big bowl of rice, held their bowls, and began eating the dishes heartily.

With bellies full, each went back home.

After a whole afternoon of snowball fights, one should take a hot shower, then hold a cup of hot drink and sit on the sofa, watch TV, play with the phone, or simply stare at the snowflakes outside the window.

The next morning, Lin Xu made longan lotus seed eight treasure porridge and kneaded some dough.

After kneading the dough, he took a piece of lamb hind leg from the fridge, cut it into minced meat, added salt, light soy sauce, minced ginger, and sesame oil to make the filling, refrigerated it to marinate.

Then he cut a bowl of chopped scallions to set aside.

Half an hour later, he took out the dough, rolled it into thin sheets, preheat the electric griddle, oil the bottom, and put a sheet of dough inside.

Mix the meat filling and chopped scallions well, spread it evenly on the dough on the griddle.

The filling doesn’t need to be too thick, about half a centimeter is enough.

Spread another layer of dough on top, and apply a layer of grease.

Cover the griddle, cook on high heat for a minute, open again, the dough has turned slightly golden brown.

Flip it over with a bamboo spatula, cook for another two minutes, until the dough becomes completely golden and crispy, a famous Bianliang City lamb griddle cake is done.

Lamb is tender, and the dough is crispy, the taste is fantastic.

However, there’s a difference, traditional lamb griddle cake uses lamb fat, which makes it taste richer, today Lin Xu used peanut oil.

The reason for doing so is the uncertainty of when the "Internet-addicted girl" who played games secretly last night will wake up, in case it’s cold, lamb fat in the griddle cake will have a mutton flavor, but peanut oil won’t have any aftertaste.

After finishing, he removed his apron and went upstairs, only to find Shen Baobao, wearing Pikachu pajamas and holding Dundun, just coming down from upstairs, with snowflakes on their shoe soles:

"Xu Bao Xu Bao, there’s thick snow on the roof, I want to build a snowman with Dundun, do you want to join?"

You’re still so childlike.

Lin Xu said:

"I have to head back to the restaurant first, we’re serving braised pork ribs today, need to prepare in advance, don’t play too long, remember to go early."

"Got it~~~ What are we having for breakfast today?"

"Eight treasure porridge and lamb griddle cake, put Dundun down, and wash your hands for breakfast."

Shen Jiayue heard this, immediately put Dundun down:

"Lamb griddle cake? Sounds delicious, Dundun, play by yourself for now, mommy will play with you after breakfast, today we’re eating pork ribs, I’ll reward you with two small bones, okay?"

"Meow~~~~~~"

Seems like Dundun will eventually turn into a little greedy kitty under this foodie mommy.

Came to the dining room, looking at the crisply golden griddle cake, a certain foodie Baobao couldn’t even wash hands before grabbing a piece to taste:

"Wow, crispy and fragrant, the lamb inside is so tender... I need to go get my phone."

Lin Xu didn’t react:

"Why get the phone?"

Shen Jiayue, who was stomping upstairs, said without turning her head:

"To share online! Eating without sharing online is like not eating at all, I want to make everyone drool!"
