In the kitchen.

Lin Xu carefully untied the rice tied to the fish.

When it was sealed before, the umami flavor was lingering but not too obvious.

When it is untied at this time, the taste becomes much richer, with not only the umami taste of fish, but also the sour taste of fermented ingredients and the taste of wine.

Coupled with the faint fishy smell, people can't help but feel refreshed after taking a whiff.

Isn't this... the reason why ancient people used to make hangover soup?

Taking away the straw, Lin Xu put the fish into the basin and began to clean up the glutinous rice stuck to the surface.

Although the temperature has not been high recently, the glutinous rice has still fermented. Compared with freshly steamed glutinous rice, it has a winey and sour taste, is more sticky, and has greater humidity.

Carefully pull off the glutinous rice, and the fish body is revealed.

The umami and fishy flavors have become more intense, and the sourness and wine smell have decreased, but they are not gone.

The whole fish seems to be no different from the freshly killed carp, except that the meat seems to have shrunk a bit and is no longer elastic, and the body of the fish is soft and not as straight as the freshly killed carp.

Lin Xu checked it again and felt that it was caused by the decrease in water content in the fish meat.

When it was pickled, a layer of salt was applied to the surface of the fish. Salt has strong dehydrating properties, and the water in the fish should be killed in this way.

After pulling out the glutinous rice on the surface of the fish, Lin Xu pulled out the glutinous rice stuffed in the fish's belly.

Ancient people ate bream either raw or roasted.

Lin Xu didn't dare to eat it raw because he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, but he could try roasting it.

He cut off the back half of the fish and the tail, put some knives on the surface of the fish skin, sprayed some strong white wine on it, and then sent it to the oven for baking.

"Oh, this fish meat is quite white."

Zhu Yong, who had just arrived at work, looked around at the remaining fish body that Lin Xu had cut. He found that the fish meat at the fracture did not appear the unique sauce and yellow color of pickling, but instead appeared white.

Lin Xu took a second look and then understood the reason why it was called Yinsi.

The color is so white that it does look like silver wire when cut into thin strips.

For the ancient people who had to use a bunch of colorful words to praise everything, using silver thread to call fish silk is quite realistic and not an exaggeration.

Not long after, the fish tail in the oven was baked until it was golden brown.

When I opened the oven, a delicious aroma wafted out from inside.

This smell is very special, somewhat similar to the smell of grilled fish fillets before, but the aroma is stronger, and it is also mixed with some alcohol and other smells.

All in all, it smells pretty good.

Tearing off a piece of fish with his hands and putting it into his mouth, Lin Xu first tasted the salty taste, and then the delicious taste of the fish.

Unlike fresh grilled fish, the taste of this marinated fish will become slightly stronger after grilling.

Coupled with the salty aroma of fish, Lin Xu thinks this thing is suitable for drinking.

It can be eaten after being grilled like this, and it can be eaten with both wine and rice. With the salty and fragrant taste, a small piece can be eaten... This is probably the reason why the down-and-out literati in the Ming Dynasty liked to eat bream.

It’s cheap, durable, and cost-effective... There’s no reason not to choose this kind of delicacy.

Since today’s noon party is related to bream, let’s grill some fish bream pieces over charcoal fire at noon, so that professors and scholars can taste the daily delicacies of Ming Dynasty literati.

After eating two pieces, Lin Xu felt that the saltiness was getting stronger and stronger, so he stopped eating.

However, Zhu Yong and Wei Qian, who came to work, ate with gusto.

The two of them tore the meat from the fish tail into strips, then rolled it up in oil cakes and ate it. The salty fish meat paired with the soft oil cakes actually went well together.

When we came outside, several old people had already finished eating and left. Before leaving, everyone scanned the payment code posted on the table to pay for breakfast.

Baby Shen held the bowl and drank a big mouthful of green vegetable and lean meat porridge. He picked up his mobile phone and sent a voice message to Chen Yan:

"Yanbao Yanbao, there is a gathering of intellectuals in the store today at noon. It seems that they want to taste the silver bream soup made by Xubao. You can come over and make yourself familiar. In the future, when the company needs intellectuals to support the scene, you won't be alone. Can't find any."

Shen Baobao is a small shareholder of Happy Media. Although he has never taken part in anything, it is right to participate more in such familiar occasions.

Moreover, Mr. Chen Yan boasts that he has the highest academic level in his family.

Then today, let’s find a place where highly educated people gather together to help her sober up.

Chen Yan seemed to have not woken up yet, and it took a while before she replied with a sleepy voice:

"Okay, I happen to have a meal at noon."

Listening to Chen Yan's lazy tone, Baby Shen put a piece of pickled radish into his mouth, chewed it twice, pressed the voice send button and replied:

"You haven't woken up yet, so go back to sleep. I'll continue eating breakfast."

Breakfast?

Chen Yan, who was huddled in bed and didn't want to move, was immediately attracted by these two words.

She sat up and started to get dressed, planning to go to the store to have breakfast.

On the other side, Dou Wenjing led the company's videographer and drove to the entrance of the store, ready to start filming the making of ginger candy and continue to warm up this snack.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

In an office building in Xier Banner.

Carrying a jar of ginger candies, Li Qiang walked into the company after punching in.

Last night he tasted a few slices of ginger candy given by the landlady, and thought it was quite suitable to keep in the office, so he took it with him when he went out this morning.

When I arrived at the office area of ​​the technical department, I found that Qi Panpan had already arrived and was standing at the entrance of the office area, looking at me coldly.

Obviously, this is another attempt to find fault.

Looking at her cold expression, Li Qiang's heart moved.

Prepare to try the methods of Cantonese teaching.

Well, hurry up and confess your love to this cold-faced female boss before she opens her mouth, so as not to listen to her nagging again.

Thinking of this, he took a few steps quickly.

When Qi Panpan was about to speak, he said:

"Manager Qi, there is something I have been hiding in my heart for a long time, and I want to say it today."

Qi Panpan, who was about to reprimand Li Qiang, had question marks on his face.

What's going on?

This guy is usually like a quail, shrinking his neck whenever he talks. Why does he look like a different person today?

She asked coldly:

"What are you talking about? Just say it."

When he walked up to Qi Panpan, Li Qiang felt a little timid.

The main reason is that this female boss's aura is too strong, which makes him a little unable to open his mouth.

However, the arrow was already on the line at this time, and he was really fed up with the nagging and accusations for this period of time. He held the jar of ginger candies in both hands to embolden himself and said:

"Manager Qi, I like you. I have been obsessed with you from the first day you came to our company."

Colleagues inside who were secretly nibbling buns: "!

”

I'm going, what's going on?

Brother Qiang was tortured out of his feelings by Manager Qi?

Colleagues in the office next door: "!

”

Wow, are the second-in-command and the first-in-command in the technical department such a big deal?

The person involved, Qi Panpan, was even more confused by Li Qiang's move. He had no idea that this piece of shit would actually say that.

She looked around and found that her colleagues around her were all looking at the excitement. She couldn't help but lift her high heels and step on Li Qiang's feet:

"You are crazy!

”

After speaking, he took the jar from Li Qiang's hand and went to his office.

Li Qiang:??????

If you scold me, scold me, and trample me, why are you grabbing my snacks?

That's not for you!

He was determined to come back, but at this time, his colleagues in the technical department had already started to boo, and Li Qiang's roommates were even more excited and stood on their chairs, applauding and whistling.

For boring programmers, this scene is simply too exciting.

Li Qiang waved to everyone:
To be continued...
