Anyway, the emperor already has a lot of dishes that have nothing to do with him, so there is nothing wrong with adding another dish of Qianlong cabbage.

After preparing the Qianlong cabbage, Lin Xu brought some green cucumbers over.

My father-in-law told me to make cucumber dumplings.

But this dish is the same as the mustard dumpling. The traditional method requires pickling for two or three days before eating. In order to satisfy the father-in-law's wish and let him eat more vegetarian food, Lin Xu plans to speed up the pickling process of cucumbers.

The reason for the long pickling time of cucumber dumplings is that cucumbers are not easy to pickle thoroughly, so as long as the pickling is accelerated, in theory, it is the same as the quick method of mustard dumplings, and you can eat it in your mouth on the same day.

In order to pickle them thoroughly, Lin Xu specially used the coir raincoat knife method to make these washed tender cucumbers into coir raincoat cucumbers.

The coir raincoat knife technique is not difficult. Just cut the cucumber vertically and cut it into continuous segments with a gap of two millimeters. If you can't master it, you can put a tachyon on both sides of the cucumber when cutting.

No matter how you cut it, the bottom of the cucumber will always be connected.

If your knife skills are decent, you don't need to use a tachyon. Just tilt the knife edge forward and let the tail of the kitchen knife tilt back. If you cut it like this, the cucumbers will be connected.

Cut one side, turn the cucumber half a turn to expose the connected parts, and then cut it again with an oblique knife.

When cutting, you cannot cut all the way to the end, you need to connect them.

Cut both sides, and a coir raincoat cucumber is made.

Lin Xu pulled the two ends of the cucumber, and the whole cucumber suddenly stretched out like a spring.

Mix the soft sugar and a little salt evenly, sprinkle evenly on the cucumbers, then put it in a bowl on one side, and then spread the mustard sauce evenly.

Prepare everything, cover it with plastic wrap, and put it in the refrigerator as well.

After doing this, he brought out the prepared Qianlong cabbage for everyone to taste.

Cui Qingyuan, who was idle at school now, also came. Seeing the Qianlong cabbage made by Lin Xu, he smiled and said:

"Fortunately, there is no traffic host here, otherwise there would be a quarrel."

Geng Lele asked curiously:

"Why were they quarreling at that time? I remember that the two hosts were discussing whether Yanjing was a food desert. This was discussed by many people, but why did they quarrel over Qianlong cabbage?"

Lin Xu put down the plate and said:

"Because in the traditional concept, cold dishes are not considered dishes, only hot dishes can be called delicacies."

Shen Jiayue opened her mouth:

"But didn't you win the last cooking competition with a dish of shredded white jade lotus root? Isn't shredded white jade lotus root also a cold dish?"

In the first cooking competition, I won the championship with white jade lotus root silk.

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"Because in the face of absolute strength, cold dishes can convince everyone and even eliminate prejudice."

It was a perfect dish created by the master. The knife skills, taste, presentation, fragrance, color, etc. were all excellent.

Under such circumstances, winning the championship becomes a matter of course.

At around eleven o'clock, Lin Xu opened the refrigerator, took out the cabbage that had been pickled for an hour, took out a clean plate, and placed two pieces of cabbage that had softened significantly.

The first layer has the ribs on the left and the leaves on the right, the second layer has the ribs on the right and the leaves on the left. The mustard sticks produced in this way are even in thickness and look more beautiful when placed on the plate.

In order to make the core in the middle more outstanding, Lin Xu deliberately placed a few young leaves of cabbage heart on top.

Then roll up the cabbage. Don't push it when rolling. Make sure to roll the cabbage as firmly as possible. Use a knife to roll it up and cut it into inch-long pieces on the plate.

Cut it and place it on a plate, and pour some of the cabbage pickled soup over it.

A mustard dumpling that is full of mustard flavor, sour, sweet and refreshing is completed.

The method of making cucumber dumplings is also very simple. Just cut the coir raincoat cucumbers into small sections, place them vertically on a plate, pour the pickled soup over them, and you're done.

"Eat, eat, eat, the first lunch of 2023, I hope everyone is safe and happy in the new year!"

Shen Jiayue held kvass and toasted with everyone.

Today, in order to wait for the mustard dumplings and cucumber dumplings, everyone did not eat with the employees.

As the saying goes, you don't have to worry about being late for a good meal. Now that I have sour and appetizing cabbage and cucumber, I feel that the wait is worth it.

In addition to mustard dumplings and cucumber dumplings, there are also braised duck with young ginger that Wei Gan tried to make, braised pork with old vinegar made by Ma Zhiqiang, braised fish belly made by Zhu Yong and white-cut beef brisket made by Guo Xinghai.

The so-called white-cut beef brisket is to cook beef brisket that is fully soaked in blood over low heat, then slice it into slices and eat it with sauce. It tastes good, and is obviously different from dishes such as tomato beef brisket and beef brisket pot.

Take a few bites of the fragrant meat dishes, and then take a bite of the mustard-flavored cabbage or cucumber segments. The sour and appetizing feeling is simply wonderful.

"Huh... so enjoyable. No wonder this is a dish served at the New Year's Eve dinner. If you miss someone while eating, you can just take advantage of this dish to have a good cry."

Cui Qingyuan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes that were smoked by the smell of mustard, and then put the mustard-stained cucumber sticks into his mouth.

Then he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes again.

Geng Lele secretly took a picture of Duan Cui Qingyuan wiping his tears and secretly sent it to Yan Lin:

"My godfather misses you so much that I cry. His tears are like broken pearls. I can't stop them. Where are you, godmother?"

As soon as it was sent, Yan Lin replied with two words:

"Downstairs!"

Downstairs...downstairs?

Geng Lele was sitting right next to the window. She got up and looked downstairs, and saw the Toyota Alfa that Yan Lin often sat in parked downstairs.

It’s really here.

Geng Lele turned around and asked as if nothing had happened:

"Godfather, if I were to give you a chance now and let the person you most want to see appear here, who would you want it to be?"

Cui Qingyuan thought for a while and said:

"Probably my supervisor when I studied abroad at MIT. At that time, he was not optimistic about my development in the field of artificial intelligence and wanted me to go to other fields... Now I just want him to see that I have tried my best to let Our country’s artificial intelligence is at the forefront of the world!”

Geng Lele:?????????

I gave you a chance to meet a beautiful woman, but you actually thought of a bad old man.

Are all men in science and engineering so upright?

She hinted again:

"What about the opposite sex?"

Cui Qingyuan thought about it seriously and then said:

"As for the opposite sex, it would be a British classmate of mine when I was studying abroad. At that time, she strongly invited me to go to the UK for development, and promised to apply for a knighthood for me as long as I achieved certain results in research and development. However, I refused. If I had the opportunity to meet her,

I will..."

Having said this, he sniffed and turned his face in surprise, only to realize that Yan Lin was already standing behind him:

"Why is the smell of perfume so familiar? Linlin, when did you come? Sit down quickly, sit down quickly, and I will help you get the tachyon."

Yan Lin looked at him with a half-smile:

"Don't be busy, just follow the female classmates first. I'm more interested in these."

Cui Qingyuan opened his mouth. No matter how low his emotional intelligence was, he noticed something was wrong with his tone. He turned his face and glared at Geng Lele, and then said:

"If I have the chance to meet her, I will seriously tell her that I have had the love of my life since I was four years old. No matter how powerful the sugar-coated bullets of capitalism are, it will be difficult to shake Linlin's position in my heart..."<
