Lin Xu smiled and said to Shen Baobao:

"Then I'll make you Xianghe meatloaf."

"Xianghe meatloaf? Okay, okay, dad likes this kind of meatloaf the most. Since you make it, I have to let him and mom come to the store to try it later."

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"You are really a stumbling block for my parents to lose weight."

"Is this filial piety, okay? I, Xu Bao, have worked so hard to make it. Isn't it appropriate for the elders to try it? You go ahead, Xu Bao, I'll make a call."

Lin Xu agreed and went back to the kitchen to continue working.

Xianghe meat pie and Mending meat pie use different noodles.

The dough used for door-nail meatloaf is very similar to the dough used to make pancakes. The dough is moderately soft and hard. When kneading, some salt should be added to increase the gluten of the dough.

There is no need to knead it after it is relaxed, just roll it into strips and divide it into pieces like making dumplings.

The dough used for Xianghe meat pie is much softer, almost as good as the dough used to make fried dough sticks. Only dough that is soft enough can cover two pounds of meat filling with one pound of dough.

Less noodles and more fillings are the common characteristics of the two kinds of meat patties.

Lin Xu first mixed the noodles for door-nail meatloaf, then took a basin and started mixing the noodles for Xianghe meatloaf.

Add high-gluten flour to the basin, add a small spoonful of salt to increase gluten, and then add a little alkaline flour.

A small amount of alkaline noodles can increase the gluten of the dough and make the dough more extensible.

The biggest difficulty in making Xianghe meat pie is how to roll the dough thinly and evenly with enough meat filling without breaking the skin.

This kind of production process has extremely high requirements on the dough.

Therefore, when kneading the dough, you need to add some alkaline noodles to make the dough have the same ductility as ramen noodles.

After adding the salt and alkaline noodles, mix it well with your hands, and then add warm water of about 35 degrees into the basin according to the ratio of one pound of noodles to two ounces of water.

With such a large amount of water, it is impossible to knead the dough first and then into dough. Because there is too much water, just stir it with chopsticks and it will almost become a batter.

When the water and flour are completely mixed together and there is no dry powder, dip your hands in grease and knead in the basin while beating.

The reason why you need to grease your hands is to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands.

After beating a few times, the surface of the dough in the basin became much smoother.

Apply a layer of grease evenly on the surface with a brush, set it aside and start to loosen the dough.

While Lin Xu was busy in the kitchen, Shen Baobao took his mobile phone and sent a message to Shen Guofu:

"Dad, Xubao is going to make one of your favorite delicacies today. Do you want to come over and taste it?"

Shen Guofu immediately replied with a message:

"Are you going to make soy sauce bones?"

Sauce... When did big bones become your favorite delicacy?

"No, it's a kind of meat pie."

"Door nail meat pie? Mutton pie? Golden beef crispy pie?"

Baby Shen felt that there was a sudden generation gap between him and his father. He was clearly posting on WeChat Moments a few days ago, saying that he wanted to eat Xianghe meat pie, but why did he not remember it at all?

In order to prevent the tacit understanding between father and daughter from getting worse and worse, Director Shen stopped showing off:

"It's Xianghe meat pie. Don't you really like eating it?"

"That was before. I bought some authentic Xianghe meat pie a few days ago, which helped me quit my addiction."

How can I quit this?

"Does it taste bad?"

"Yes, it's super unpalatable, the dough is super thick, the meat filling is very small, and there are some cabbage leaves mixed in."

Baby Shen imagined what this kind of meat pie would look like, and it was completely different from the Xianghe meat pie in his impression:

"Isn't this false propaganda?"

"It doesn't matter, that person's name is Xianghe, and many people have been deceived."

Hey, this Xianghe meat pie is as good as sea cucumber fried noodles.

"Dad came to try it after get off work. I promise this time it wasn't made by someone named Xianghe."

Hum hum, now that you have tasted the dark cuisine of Xianghe meat pie, you should try Xu Bao’s authentic craftsmanship.

In fact, Shen Baobao doesn't know whether the meat patties made by Lin Xu are authentic or not. She only knows that Lin Xu's products must be high-quality and will not accept refutation!

Since there are delicious food in the store, Shen Guofu naturally doesn’t want to go home and eat fat-reducing meals.

He was a little embarrassed and sent a message:

"I definitely want to go to the store, but your mother's side..."

"Director Han, I'll take care of it. Just come and eat after get off work."

Seeing this news, Shen Guofu felt warm in his heart. She is such a good girl.

It’s impossible not to reward such a filial child.

You have to think about what to reward your children later.

After taking care of his father, Shen Baobao sent Han Shuzhen a photo of Zhang Dundun wearing a small suit and taking a class with Professor Ren:

"Mom, Dundun misses you!"

Han Shuzhen had no outpatient clinic in the afternoon and was sorting out medical records in the office. When she saw this message, she immediately replied:

"You are quite energetic in a little suit. Why does it miss me?"

My daughter rarely takes the initiative to send messages, so she must be up to something, so be careful.

"I was sorting out the photos from my last mountain climb just now. When Dundun saw your photo, he came over and kissed me. I must be thinking why grandma didn't come to see me."

When it comes to nonsense, Shen Baobao is the well-deserved number one.

After this message was sent, Han Shuzhen, who was waiting to expose her daughter's little trick, immediately felt warm:

"I will go to the store to accompany Dundun after get off work. You must have been tossing it for too long and the little guy is unhappy. I will go to the store to stay a little longer today."

Hoho, done!

Dealing with mom and dad is that simple.

After Han Shuzhen replied to the message, she called Shen Guofu:

"Go to the store for dinner, and remember to pick me up after get off work."

Shen Guofu's face was full of surprise.

She has to be a daughter, and she actually managed to take care of Director Han. It’s amazing.

Even with such a high efficiency, I should buy a car... Oh, right, Xiaoxu's car has never been repaired since it crashed, so just buy a car.

There happens to be a car show in a few days, so I will take Xiaoxu to have a look and buy whichever one I like.

Such an excellent son-in-law is not worthy of a car worth less than 2 million.

You have to drive a higher-end car.

In the kitchen, Lin Xu is making stuffing for door-nail meatloaf.

Beef breast meat, chopped into pieces with both fat and lean parts.

This kind of meat filling is not minced meat, but small particles the size of soybeans, which gives it a texture and a more fragrant taste. If it is minced meat, it will taste less interesting.

Chop the meat filling and add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt, ginger juice, fresh yellow sauce, pepper, allspice powder, Sichuan pepper powder and other condiments.

The so-called fresh yellow sauce is a sauce that is not dehydrated during the production process of dry yellow sauce. Because it is fresher than dry yellow sauce, it is called fresh yellow sauce.

The fresh yellow sauce is not that strong in taste and is suitable for filling.

But to make fried sauce, you have to use dry yellow sauce.

Put the ingredients into a basin, add half a bowl of green onion and ginger water, stir and mix the ingredients evenly.

When the water in the basin is absorbed by the meat, add half a bowl of pepper water, stir again to absorb, and pour the pepper water for the third time.

Beef has strong water absorption. This characteristic allows a large amount of onion, ginger or pepper water to be poured into the meat. This water will be the juice after it is cooked.

When the meat filling in the basin becomes sticky but smooth, it means that the moisture is almost there.

Add a spoonful of cooking oil and an egg, stir well again, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator.

In a low temperature environment, the moisture will shrink into the meat, making it easier to wrap.

In fact, not only the door-nail meat patties, but also the meat fillings used to make dumplings and steamed buns are suitable to be chilled in the refrigerator before wrapping. This way, the filling is better and the filling is more delicious.

The filling of door-nail meatloaf has a high proportion of green onions, and seven ounces of green onions are standard for one pound of beef.

The onions used are not green onions, but purple onions.

Onions have more water and sweetness, which can bring out the umami flavor of meat.
