Chapter 134: Making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Homemade for Chinese New Year...
Chapter 134
Lin Mujin got up early in the morning and started dressing up.
Wearing the pink sweatshirt I bought before, with a pair of jeans.
Her hair was tied into a high ponytail.
Her face was so tender from using a facial mask last night that you could squeeze water out of it. She looked left and right in the small mirror, then carefully applied lotion.
I have to say you get what you pay for. Now her skin is better than before and more hydrated.
"Amei is so pretty today!"
Lin Mujin clasped her hands together and said, "Happy New Year, Sister!"
Cousin Lin was very happy and took out a red envelope from her pocket, "Happy New Year, sister!"
Lin Mujin took it with both hands, "Thank you, sister! I wish you great fortune in the new year!"
Lin Mujin came out of the bedroom and said, "Uncle, Brother, Happy New Year!"
As expected, I received two more red envelopes.
"Sister, Happy New Year!"
It was Lin Muli, and the red envelope in his pocket was sticking out.
Well, she has to give out red envelopes too.
But isn’t the purpose of the New Year to have fun?
"Sister, brother, come over and put up the Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters!"
Cousin Lin was greeting them.
Lin Mujin took a "Fu" character and pasted it on the door of her bedroom, then took a small "Fu" character and pasted it on her desk, and then did not forget to paste one on the window as well.
When she went out for a walk, she found that the bathroom and kitchen were also posted with stickers.
"Happy New Year, Mrs. Luo and Xiaoli!"
"Happy New Year, Sister Xiuying!"
Everyone was saying hello to each other.
After a while, the Zhou sisters also came over.
This was agreed upon before. Today we will all celebrate the New Year together, including Li Xiuying.
Breakfast was also very good, with steamed dumplings, wontons and seafood porridge.
But they didn't eat together. The Zhou sisters went to Mrs. Luo's room to eat.
The main thing is that the dining table is not that big.
Later, for lunch, we will have to move the dining table from Li Xiuying's living room over and merge the two tables together, otherwise there will be no room for everyone to sit.
After dinner, Lin Mujin felt free and went back to her room to read.
She doesn't like setting off firecrackers or visiting flower streets.
But I don’t feel like writing during the Chinese New Year, so I can only read books.
She was reading a baking cookbook that Cousin Lin had just bought.
She found that everyone in her family was changing silently for the better.
That’s great!
"Sister, come here and make your broth." Cousin Lin came over and called for help.
"Here I come." Lin Mujin put down the book.
She found a big bucket, put the leg bones, half a chicken, chicken feet, and beef tendons into it, poured in a lot of water, added three pieces of meat to remove the fishy smell, boiled the water and skimmed off the foam, then added a piece of ham and continued to simmer on medium-low heat for three or four hours.
Let Mrs. Luo help watch over the food while she goes to prepare other ingredients.
This time she is going to make a big dish - Buddha Jumps Over the Wall...home version.
Although we can't prepare 19 kinds of treasures like the palace version, we still put a lot of thought into it.
She started soaking dried goods such as sea cucumbers, abalone, and conch slices five days ago.
After soaking, steaming and freezing, put it in the refrigerator. Now take out the quantity you need and freeze it immediately.
There is no rush for the rest, wait until the broth is almost ready.
I hurried out of the kitchen because it was too crowded.
It's another day when I want to move to a bigger house.
She went back to the bedroom, opened the drawer, took out the passbook and opened it. The number on it started with four.
The money invested in Huimei has been recovered long ago, plus I earned another 100,000 yuan from selling the evidence to Lawyer Li, which adds up to more than 400,000 yuan.
She doesn't write articles now, but with the food truck and Huimei, her daily income is around 5,000 yuan, so the number on her passbook is really growing visibly.
Calm down your excitement, you are still a long way from achieving a small goal.
He put the passbook away again and picked up the cookbook.
She had previously made a towel roll as a gift for Master Lin Muli, and cousin Lin thought it was suitable for sale, so she added another product to Huimei.
Coupled with the increase in customer flow before the New Year, turnover naturally increased.
Because she earns a lot of money from small things, Cousin Lin refuses to close the shop early.
Today is the Spring Festival and Uncle Lin gave the order, so Huimei closed down.
The food truck actually didn’t stop very early, it was closed yesterday afternoon.
"this…"
Lin Mujin is looking at tiramisu.
In fact, this is also quite suitable for Huimei.
Huimei already has a lot of food varieties now, so is it necessary to add products so frequently?
I'll discuss this with Cousin Lin later.
She looked at the time and went back to the kitchen when she felt it was about time.
The kitchen is filled with the aroma of various foods.
She opened the pot and looked at it. She had put a lot of water in it, so it would definitely not be enough to make a dish of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.
Prepare to freeze it and use it later.
She washed a piece of pumpkin, peeled it, sliced it, and put it in the steamer. She also washed a dozen quail eggs and put them in the steamer.
I also washed the shiitake mushrooms and rinsed the morels twice and soaked them in warm water.
Finally, I found dried shrimp and scallops.
The dried shrimps need to be peeled and the scallops need to be washed and soaked in warm water.
In just over ten minutes, the pumpkin slices are cooked. Use a shovel to squeeze them into a paste and then stuff them.
Peel the quail eggs in cold water.
Since she didn't have a Huadiao wine jar specifically for making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, she had to settle for a casserole.
Pour the stuffed pumpkin puree into the casserole, add the broth and stir, start seasoning, add Huadiao wine, oyster sauce, light soy sauce, salt and MSG and bring to a boil.
Take this time to blanch the mushrooms, sea cucumbers, abalone, and conch slices in water.
When the casserole soup is boiling, add mushrooms, quail eggs, dried shrimps, scallops, and tendons and cook for fifteen minutes.
When the time is up, add sea cucumber and abalone.
Finally, add some water starch to make the soup thicker.
After all, this is the home version of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, so many steps have been simplified.
It is said that to make broth, the bones and tendons must be boiled until they are dissolved. This way the broth will naturally have a gelatinous texture, so there is no need to add water or starch.
She didn't have enough time, so she had to make do with it.
But the taste is not bad, it smells delicious.
Even cousin Lin and Mrs. Luo came over to take a look.
After Lin Mujin finished making Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, the other dishes were also prepared one after another.
It can be done so quickly because there is an extra stove.
It’s Huimei’s separate stove, which I brought back specially because I was afraid that there would be too many dishes to cook on Chinese New Year’s Day and the stove would not be enough.
Lin Mujin also heard her cousin Lin calling her cousin Lin and Lin Muli to move the dining table so that they could set out the dishes and start the meal.
Today I made a total of ten dishes, two soups, and two desserts.
The menu was drawn up by Lin Mujin, and was finalized after Uncle Lin and the others looked at it and thought it was good.
She also bought ingredients according to the menu.
Assorted cured meats, braised spare ribs, braised pork trotters, steamed chicken with tangerine peel and red dates, braised lion's head, braised prawns, steamed grouper, baby cabbage with scallops, broccoli with oyster sauce, steamed beef ribs, curry lamb, and curry crab.
The soups are Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and Lotus Root, Chestnut and Pork Ribs Soup.
As for the two desserts, the daifuku and towel rolls were made at Huimei last night and have been kept in the refrigerator.
