I'm the Culinary God-Chapter 806 - 352: Once a Man Passes Twenty, He Should Drink What Only Adults Can Drink!

Chapter 806: Chapter 352: Once a Man Passes Twenty, He Should Drink What Only Adults Can Drink!

After finishing speaking, she glanced at her daughter:

"Haven’t you practiced the piano in a while?"

"Well... not that long, I practiced ’Moonlight’ for two hours at home last month."

"You only played for two hours in over a month and you’re proud of that?"

The mother and daughter checked the piano for a moment and then followed the stairs upstairs, where they saw Shen Guofu admiring the view.

"This big terrace is so comfy; breathing in the fresh air in the morning and looking at the distant mountains is such a luxury in Beijing..."

While talking, Shen Guofu even jumped around a bit, as if he was ready to do aerobics here.

Shen Baobao giggled and said:

"I’ve decided, every morning after I wake up, I’ll do yoga for half an hour on the rooftop, then have breakfast before going to work. Mom, why don’t you live here? We can do it together."

"Let’s see if you can even wake up in the morning first."

Shen Baobao: "!!!!!!!!!!"

I don’t even live at home anymore, how does Mom know I sleep in?

Who spilled the beans?

She pulled out her phone, about to ask Lin Xu, only to find that Shu Yun had sent two photos in the small group chat: one showing lobsters in the aquarium waving their claws defiantly, and the other of a big silver carp swimming around.

"Tonight’s dinner will be big silver carp and lobsters. Some of you out shopping might not want to eat outside, or you’ll come back staring at the fish longingly."

Lobsters?

Big silver carp?

Shen Baobao waved her phone at her parents:

"We’re having lobsters and big silver carp tonight. How do you want them cooked? I’ll let Lin Xu know."

Shen Guofu rubbed his hands:

"I don’t care how they’re cooked, but it wouldn’t be satisfying to have such great dishes without some drinks... Right, honey?"

Han Shuzhen said helplessly:

"If you drink today, you’ll drink again when your in-laws visit tomorrow, and again at the family gathering the day after. Drinking for so many consecutive days, didn’t you practice for nothing?"

Seeing her husband looking pleadingly, she sighed slightly:

"Alright, whatever Xiao Xu drinks, you drink. How about that?"

"Alright, alright, honey, you’re the best." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Whatever my son-in-law drinks, I drink too. Isn’t this a hint that I can drink alcohol?

Later, I’ll subtly hint to my son-in-law that once a man turns twenty, he should try some unique beverages.

While the family of three appreciated the view on the terrace, Lin Xu was already recording the method for making Crystal Fish Scale Jellies.

After rinsing the blanched fish scales, steam them for half an hour in a pot, then completely filter out the fish scales inside and put them into the freezer to cool.

Once solidified, you can serve it as a cold dish.

After finishing these tasks, Lin Xu asked the assistant:

"How many iron stick yams are left in the store?"

"There’s still a whole box."

"Wash them all, and steam thoroughly in the steam cabinet."

The yam juice can cause itching if it gets on the skin, but once steamed, it won’t have this effect.

To make yam juice, you must first steam the yams thoroughly and then peel them; this makes the flavor fragrant and the juice more delicious.

The assistant agreed and went to work.

Judging by his understanding of the boss, there must be some new dish in the making; just wait to try it.

Remove the iron stick yams from the box, soak them in water for a moment, and use a wire brush to clean the surface dirt, so it won’t get muddy when peeling.

Standard yam juice should be as white and creamy as milk, with a smooth texture.

No impurities can be added, otherwise it will affect the taste and appearance.

"Junior, why did you have the assistant steam the yams?"

"To make some yam juice to try; we can’t sell Sour Plum Soup after it gets cold, and Pumpkin Soup alone isn’t enough, so I plan to make some yam juice to try. If it works, we’ll sell it in the store."

Hot drinks are essential in winter, especially in a Chinese restaurant.

Xie Baomin said:

"That’s perfect; your sister-in-law and the kids love drinking it, today we’re eager to try out your skills. Yam juice can neutralize spicy, and tonight’s lobsters can be spicier for the kids to enjoy."

"No problem, it’ll definitely be spicy and enjoyable!"

At this point, Dai Jianli had already taken all the lobsters to the kitchen, and he also brought Zhu Yong and Wei Qian along to help.

While busy, he couldn’t resist posting a photo on his social media:

"Cleaning lobsters with two young chefs from Fishing Platform, one specializes in shrimp, the other in pig’s heart—what a coincidence!"

What’s meant by murderous pig’s heart?

This is it!

Seeing this post, Song Dahai, who was swearing at Fishing Platform, couldn’t help but laugh and curse:

"That rascal has no shame!"

Finished, he instructed the chef of Building 15:

"Go, move a few jars of pickles from Building 18, bring the jars along, and scoop up a few spicy rabbit heads or something do as well; that rascal took so many lobsters from me, time to collect some interest."

In the restaurant, once the yams were steamed, they were taken out of the steam cabinet.

Peel the outer skin of the yams while they’re hot, and remove the white yams inside.

Put the peeled yams into the restaurant’s extra-large blender, and add three times the amount of hot water as yams, at about sixty or seventy degrees Celsius.

The water temperature for yam juice shouldn’t be too high; if it’s too high, the juice won’t thicken easily and is also hard to drink, as it will remain hot for a long time.

But it shouldn’t be too low either; if the temperature is too low, the yam’s fragrance won’t come out—around sixty degrees is just right.

This temperature won’t burn your mouth, nor will it be cold, let it cool a bit and you can sip it comfortably, catering to customer needs.
