"dad!"

"dad!"

"Dear girls, Dad is back. Do you miss Dad!"

Zhou Mochen returned to the store and smiled and picked up the two little girls.

"think!"

Zhou Xiangxiang and Zhou Qianqian said in a childish voice. Then rubbed and rubbed in Zhou Mochen's arms.

"Thanks, Miss Ling. Sorry to trouble you."

Zhou Mochen said to Ling Zihan.

"Then why are you being polite? Isn't it the right thing to do?"

Ling Zihan said with a smile, she likes these two cute little girls very much, and so does Su Xiaoxiao, whenever she is free, she will come to find the two girls.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Zhou Mochen talked to the little guy, and then went to the kitchen to make lunch for them.

"Old Chen, are you leaving?"

After lunch, Zhou Xun, who was waiting in the waiting room of the airport to take off, was on the phone.

"Let's go, let's go. Wait for me at the airport in a while. I'm almost here later than you."

Chen Kun replied with a smile.

"Understood, we still have to wait for Ruoyin. She is about the same time. It took a lot of effort to get a box."

Zhou Xun's special mulberry heart makes people feel very touched.

"Hey, don't you have his phone number? Just order one."

Chen Kun said indifferently.

"Isn't that just met once? I don't want to lose face. It's really long-winded, hang up."

Zhou Xun rolled his eyes and responded.

"Haha, see you later."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, just about to board the plane.

The three of them got on the plane at different places, but the destination was the same, they were all in Sioux City. Zhou Xun was the first to arrive. Wearing sunglasses and waiting at the exit.

"Old Chen, here."

Zhou Xun waited for a while, saw Chen Kun coming out, smiled and waved.

"Haha, long time no see."

Chen Kun smiled and gave Zhou Xun a hug.

"Long time no see. Ruoyin's plane is about to arrive. Wait for her a while."

Zhou Xun patted Chen Kun generously.

People around also found two people. When I thought about it, I went to Zhou Mochen's shop to eat. I didn't bother.

"It's really what Ruoyin said. No one bothers us. It's good and comfortable."

Zhou Xun looked at the surrounding situation and said, obviously very satisfied.

"Yeah, that little guy is a capable person."

When Chen Kun came, he deliberately checked Zhou Mochen's information on the Internet. I don’t know if I don’t look at it. I was shocked when I saw it. Are young people nowadays so vigorous?

At this time, another plane in the airport also parked. Liu Ruoyin pushed her suitcase out of the plane. This is her second time here.

I also suddenly received a call from my friend Zhou Xun, saying that I would come here for dinner. She was a little busy at first, but she just turned down her work, just wanting to relax.

"Brother Xun. Chen Kun!"

Liu Ruoyin smiled when she saw the two people at the door. He quickly joined the two of them.

"Haha, Ruoyin. The busy man finally showed up."

Zhou Xun said with a smile.

"Hehe, can I not come when you summon me? Let's go and take you to the nearby hotel over there. I stayed there when I came last time, and it's pretty good."

Liu Ruoyin said with a smile.

"Let's go. Relax for two days, without paparazzi, fans have a great life. Be like a normal person."

Zhou Xun smiled and left with Liu Ruoyin on his arm.

The three of them took a taxi and went to the hotel. The driver master is also good at chatting. Knowing that the three of them came to eat, they praised Zhou Mochen in all kinds of ways. The three of them were more than happy to get to know each other better.

After checking in, the hotel sent a car to take the three of them to the restaurant.

"Is it here? The environment is okay."

Zhou Xun got out of the car and looked around. Said with emotion.

"Yes. The environment is not bad, the environment inside is even better."

Liu Ruoyin said with a smile, and then the three of them entered the yard. Sure enough, the two people who had never been here looked around like curious babies. Half of the exhaustion was gone.

"The boss is a man of taste. Pros and cons."

Zhou Xun said with bright eyes.

"Exactly. Feeling relaxed, no wonder you all love coming here to eat. It's not just about eating."

Chen Kun was also deeply moved. Big shock.

"Hehe, after a while you will taste Boss Zhou's tea and snacks, and you will know what life is. Not to mention the dishes at night."

Liu Ruoyin responded with a smile. She was like this when she first came.

"Wait and see."

With that said, the three of them entered the hall. At this time, Zhou Mochen was making complementary food for the little guy, and there was still a meal to eat in the middle of the afternoon.

The two little guys also woke up and were running and playing in the hall. Fortunately, there were two of them and a playmate.

"Oops."

The little guy who didn't see the three coming in accidentally bumped into Zhou Xun. Zhou Xun was also surprised. Immediately caught the little doll. Prevent them from knocking.

"Hey, did you touch anything?"

Zhou Xun knew that Zhou Mochen had two daughters, so the two cute girls in front of him must be the same. asked nervously.

"Auntie, thank you."

Zhou Xiangxiang and Zhou Qianqian said politely. Curiously blinking at Zhou Xun with big eyes.

"You are so cute. You are so cute. Can you tell me what your name is?"

Zhou Xun knelt down and hugged the little guy gently.

"My name is Zhou Xiangxiang."

"My name is Zhou Qianqian."

The little guy said politely.

"Good."

Zhou Xun replied with a smile.

"Hello. Sorry to bother you. Xiangxiang, Qianqian. Let's go play."

Ling Zihan also came over, and said with a smile after seeing the three of them.

"Hehe, no, I'm afraid of bumping into the child. Isn't Boss Zhou here?"

Zhou Xun replied with a smile.

"Yes, cook food for the two little guys in the kitchen."

Ling Zihan said with a smile.

"Heh, she is a veritable daughter slave."

Chen Kun said with a smile.

"Xiangxiang, Qianqian, eat some fruit."

Zhou Mochen came out of the kitchen at this time and brought two bowls of food.

"Dad, Dad!"

The two little guys ran over immediately.

"Hey, go wash your hands."

After Zhou Mochen finished speaking, he saw everyone in the hall. Ling Zihan also led the little guy to wash his hands.

"Welcome. Three teachers."

Zhou Mochen said with a smile.

"Haha, I don't dare to be so, just call me Brother Xun, we are still in the same family."

Zhou Xun said with a smile.

"Long time no see, Xiaochen."

Liu Ruoyin also greeted with a smile.

"Haha, he really looks like a unparalleled son."

Seeing Zhou Mochen's face, Chen Kun smiled and praised.

"You're welcome, why didn't Sister Ruoyin say hello in advance when she came?"

Zhou Mochen responded with a smile.

"Brother Xun booked the box. I'm just here for lunch."

Liu Ruoyin explained.

"Dad, Daddy! Washed."

Zhou Xiangxiang brought his younger sister here at this time. Zhou Mochen's special seats for them were also set up. The little guy started eating with his own bowl.

"Hey, I'm so envious of you, there are only two little padded jackets at once."

Chen Kun looked at the little guy enviously.

"Haha, this is my pride. Let's go, I'll take you to the box. Try my tea later."

Zhou Mochen was obviously very proud. After speaking, he led the three of them to the box.

"Brother Xun, I'll have someone prepare tea and refreshments for you, please wait a moment."

After Zhou Mochen finished speaking, he ordered people to prepare. He also backed out.

"The boss is a little too young this week. I can't believe it's the kind of report on the Internet. The cooking skills have reached the top."

Chen Kun said with emotion when he saw Zhou Mochen go out.

"Really, I saw it when I came last time. It's really delicious. And the tea and refreshments here are also not available outside."

Liu Ruoyin explained.

"I know him, I knew it earlier. After all, this is my hometown, but I have been very busy all the time, so I don't have time to come and see him. When I came back from the Chinese New Year, he was on vacation again. It was a coincidence last time. I met him and His daughter-in-law."

Zhou Xun said something with a smile.

"Hehe, his daughter-in-law is a mixed circle. They are in love, married, and have children. They really don't hide it at all, and their fans can accept it. It's quite flattering to them. This is really true. good."

Liu Ruoyin sighed.

"Yeah, there aren't many people in the industry who can be so aboveboard. And at such a young age. Their lives are complete."

Chen Kun also continued to speak.

"Xiao Zhao is also a good girl, so there's nothing to say about her acting skills. I have always looked down on the new generation of actors before, but Xiao Zhao really impressed me. I'm not conceited to say that she is only a little worse than me."

Zhou Xun said with a smile.

"Really? So scary."

As a good friend of Zhou Xun, Chen Kun is very clear about Zhou Xun's acting skills. And I also know that she is not the kind of person who likes to exaggerate.

"Really. The young couple are both monsters."

Zhou Xun replied.

"It's interesting to have such a couple in the circle."

Although Liu Ruoyin played music, she also knew that things in the industry were complicated.

"Hi three teachers, the tea has been brewed, please taste it."

While the three were still chatting, the tea artist made the tea. What Zhou Mochen prepared for them was Longjing.

West Lake Longjing is one of the top ten famous teas in China. It belongs to green tea. It is produced in the mountains around West Lake Longjing Village, HZ City, ZJ Province, hence the name. It has a history of more than 1,200 years. When Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty visited the West Lake in Hangzhou, he praised the West Lake Longjing tea and named the eighteen tea trees in front of the Hugong Temple at the foot of Shifeng Mountain as "Royal Tea".

Known for its emerald color, beautiful shape, rich fragrance and mellow taste, its unique "light but distant" "fragrant and clear" peerless spirit and extraordinary quality are unique among many teas and rank among the top ten. The first of the famous teas.

The super-grade West Lake Longjing tea is flat, smooth and straight, with a bright green color, fresh and clear aroma, fresh and mellow taste, and the leaves are delicate and flowery. The dragon well tea picked before the Ching Ming Festival is called Mingqian Longjing for short, and is also known as Nurhong. An important carrier of West Lake regional culture.

Its brewing is also very particular.

The water temperature for West Lake Longjing brewing is 85-95°C boiling water. Do not use instant boiling water. Before brewing, it is best to use cold soup, that is, put it in a storage pot for a while before brewing.

The water used for brewing is mountain spring water.

Choice of utensils, ceramic and glass tea sets are all available.

Warm the cup with boiling water, pour out the water, and put in the tea leaves. Then, pour one-fifth of the boiling water, soak it, shake the incense for about 30 seconds, and then use the hanging pot high flush method to pour 70% of the boiling water. After 35 seconds, you can drink.

West Lake Longjing tea is known as the "Queen of Green Tea". One of the reasons is mainly due to the efficacy and function of West Lake Longjing tea. West Lake Longjing tea is unfermented and cold in nature, so the most notable effects of Longjing tea are heat-clearing and diuretic.

"It smells so good! The soup is bright green and clear, and the taste is fresh and sweet."

Chen Kun took a sip of tea and said in surprise.

"Hehe, it's delicious. It's different from the tea I drank last time, but this one tastes good too."

Liu Ruoyin said with a smile.

"It's really good, and it complements each other with refreshments."

Zhou Xun said while eating glutinous rice lotus root. The dim sum is made by Su Wenwen. But this has already made Zhou Xun extremely admired.

Longjing tea has a delicate fragrance and fresh taste, which complements the light cakes.

It can be paired with some rice-based snacks, such as glutinous rice lotus root, glutinous rice cakes, sweet crispy twists, etc. It can also be paired with a series of snacks such as red bean glutinous rice cakes and sesame glutinous rice balls.

Classic Western-style desserts such as meringue tarts, cookies, and Black Forest cakes are also good choices. These snacks are sweet but not greasy, and can complement Longjing tea, making people feel a wonderful taste enjoyment.

While the people inside were enjoying the joy brought by tea and refreshments, Zhou Mochen was reading to his daughter at the moment.

The little ones who had already eaten complementary food snuggled up next to Zhou Mochen, listening to Zhou Mochen telling stories. This was their favorite activity.

Until after five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Mochen went to the kitchen. And the little ones were naturally handed over to Ling Zihan.

Zhou Mochen deliberately looked at the menu Zhou Xun ordered, and it was a surprise that he was quite good at eating. Matsutake yellow croaker lion head made of large yellow croaker, Wensi tofu, squirrel mandarin fish, etc.

There are also crystal meat dishes that are more in line with local characteristics.

Zhenjiang meat, also known as crystal meat and crystal hoof, is a famous traditional dish in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu.

Legend has it that in ancient times, the waiter at the Jiuhai Street Hotel in Zhenjiang mistook nitrate for salted pork knuckles. After cooking, the meat was red and white, smooth and crystal clear, and the stewed jelly was transparent, like crystal, with a strong fragrance and mellow taste. Later, people thought the name "salted meat" was indecent, and changed it to "crystal meat", which became a traditional famous product in Zhenjiang.

The skin of the meat dish is white, the stewed meat is transparent, bright and flexible, the lean meat is ruddy, the meat is tender, fragrant and not greasy, and the meat has a pleasant fragrance.

Sliced ​​into shape, the structure is fine, and it has four characteristics: fragrant, crisp, fresh and tender. This dish is refreshing and appetizing, with elegant color and good taste. If it is served with shredded ginger and balsamic vinegar, it will have a more unique flavor.

Crystal meat can't be cooked in one day, but since Zhou Mochen put it on the menu, he prepared it in advance. The approach is more complicated. Pork forefoot is generally used.

Scrape and wash the pig’s front hooves, cut them open one by one with a knife, remove the bones, put the skin down on the chopping board, and poke small holes in the lean meat with iron skewers.

Sprinkle nitrate evenly on each one, rub it thoroughly with coarse salt, put it flat in the tank, and pickle it. With the change of climate, the amount of salt used and the time of pickling are also different.

In summer, use 3 taels of salt for each and marinate for 6-8 hours. In winter, use 2 taels of salt and marinate for 7 days. In spring and autumn, use a little more than 2 taels of salt, marinate for 3 to 4 hours, then soak in cold water for 8 hours, do not soak in summer, remove the astringent smell, take it out and scrape off the dirt on the skin, and then rinse it with warm water.

Put the scallions and ginger slices into a cloth bag, put the peppercorns and aniseed into another cloth bag, and tie the mouth tightly.

Put clear water in a large pot, add coarse salt and alum, bring to a boil over high heat, and skim off the foam. Put the pig's trotters into the pot with the skin of the hoof facing up, stack them layer by layer, and the top layer of the hoof skin faces down), boil it and then skim off the foam, put the onion and ginger bag and the spice bag, add Shaoxing wine, cover Put a bamboo counter on it, and put a clean and heavy object on it to hold down the hoof meat.

Cook on low heat for about 1.5 hours, keep boiling slightly, turn the hoof meat upside down, with the hoof skin facing up, put it into the pot, cook until 90% rotten, take out the pot, remove two cloth bags, and keep the soup for later use.

Take flat pots, put 2 pig's trotters in each pot, with the skin facing down, stack the 5 pots together, and cover 1 empty pot on top, after 20 minutes, move the pots to the side of the pot one by one, and scoop in the original soup , Rinse the oil in the pot and then decant it into the pot.

Then boil the soup in the pot, skim off the slick oil, add alum, add water to boil, and then skim off the slick oil.

Then scoop the soup stew into the hoof basin, fill it with meat noodles, and put it in a cool place to cool and freeze. When the weather is hot, put it in the refrigerator to freeze after it has cooled completely, and then it becomes a crystal dish hoof. The leftover stew from cooking the hooves is the old stew, which can be reserved for the next use.

When serving, put it on a plate with shredded ginger and balsamic vinegar for a better taste.

According to the different parts of the hoof, it is cut into various hoof pieces. Part of the tendons on the front hoof of the pig is cut into slices, which are shaped like glasses. They are called glasses dishes. The tendons are soft and delicious.

The meat next to the front hoof claws is cut off and bent with a jade belt, which is called jade belt hook dish. Fragrant and tender.

A piece of lean meat with a thin bone on the upper part of the hind hoof is called Tiandeng Stick Yao. It is crispy and tender, and is welcomed by those who like to eat lean meat.

In addition to these, Zhou Mochen also added new snacks to them. It is also a dish. Tea San.

Tea San is a well-known traditional dim sum in Jiangsu, among which Huai'an Tea San is the most famous, with a long history and well-known both at home and abroad.

Refined by unique processing technology, its color is bright yellow, beautiful in shape, crispy, crispy and unique in flavor.

Tea San is made of brown sugar, honey, Chinese prickly ash, red onion skin and other raw materials boiled with water, an appropriate amount of eggs, clear oil and noodles, and then repeatedly kneaded and pressed, kneaded into thick strips, twisted into dough, kneaded or stretched into uniform thickness. , Circles connected in an orderly manner form a ring, fry in a frying pan until brown and serve.

It's easy to make, but it's not easy to make it delicious.

While Zhou Mochen was still cooking, the people in the box couldn't wait. Watching delicious food served on the table, Zhou Xun and Chen Kun finally understood why this place is so popular. This fragrance, this exquisite delicacy, who is not confused.

"Three, your dishes are ready. This is the wine from our boss."

After the waiter finished serving the dishes, Ling Zihan came in and brought two bottles of wine for the three of them, both of which weighed half a catty, one bottle of fruit wine and one bottle of white wine.

"Ah? That's so embarrassing, thank you Boss Zhou for me."

Liu Ruoyin obviously knew the price of the wine, and immediately thanked Ling Zihan. (end of this chapter)
