"Brother Liu, it's so early. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" Lin Xiao, who was busy on the board, raised his head and beckoned.

"You're so early?" asked Liu Mang with some surprise.

It's only six o'clock in the morning, and Liu Mang got up a little late because he drank too much yesterday. didn't expect Lin Xiao to be earlier than him, this is not like the style of a rich second generation.

"Well, I've gotten into the habit of waking up early. Besides, three meals a day is a compulsory part of my daily routine. ”

Lin Xiao put the xiaolongbao wrapped on the board into the steamer, "Wait a while, breakfast will be ready soon." ”

The semi-finals of the God of Chef competition have been completed, and there will be finals and finals later.

The date of the final is half a month later. With nothing to do, Lin Xiao simply invited Liu Mang to stay on the boat for a few more days. When you are visiting the mountains and rivers, you can also discuss cooking skills by the way.

"Okay, I'll go and tell Xiao Wu to get up. Liu Mang nodded and walked to the cabin below.

The cabin of the cruise ship has been changed by Lin Xiao to be more comfortable than a five-star suite, and all kinds of facilities are available.

Five eyes were lying on the 2-meter-wide bed on all fours, snoring loudly.

"Get up!" Liu Mang shook his head, but did not react.

"Get up!" Goyan rolled over and went back to sleep.

Liu Mang was a little speechless, he thought about it, took a cup of cold water from the washstand, and poured it directly on Wuyan's face.

"Ahh

He was about to get angry with a dark face, but when he saw that it was Liu Mang, he immediately laughed dryly: "Boss, your method of calling a bed is too unique." ”

"Call the bed?!" Liu Mang's forehead showed two black lines: "No way, who told you to sleep like a pig, Lin Xiao's breakfast is ready, do you want to send it to you?"

"Breakfast?" As soon as Wuyan heard that there was something to eat, he immediately became full of energy: "Damn! There are chefs waiting for three meals a day, even the richest man doesn't have this treatment!"

After the two of them finished washing up, they came to the deck, and Lin Xiao's xiaolongbao was now just baked.

Liu Mang lifted the lid of the cage on the table, and a fist-sized bun with thin and translucent skin was steaming in the steamer.

Different from the 'Wanglou Cave Plum Bun' made by Liu Mang last time, the size of this soup dumpling is obviously several times larger, and a small steamer can fit one.

"Is this Jingjiang crab roe soup bun?" asked Liu Mang suspiciously.

"That's right, I've watched the recording of your last game, and even the 'Wanglou Cave Plum Blossom Bag' was copied by you, so I have to use this to sacrifice my ugliness. ”

It is also a soup dumpling, in addition to being larger than Liu Mang's sauce-filled xiaolongbao, this crab roe soup dumpling is also thinner and almost transparent.

If you move a little, you can see that the soup inside is shaking gently, making people feel a kind of tenderness that will burst when you blow it.

"Jingjiang crab roe soup dumplings, I just heard about it, I really haven't eaten it, it is said that this is the favorite of Emperor Qianlong back then, and I don't know if it's true or not. Liu Mang said.

"It should be true. Lin Xiao nodded.

"The production of this Jingjiang xiaolongbao is very particular, it is necessary to use the thick skin of the pig's trotters to cut it finely, simmer overnight, until the pigskin completely dissolves into the soup, and then cool into a transparent jelly-like gelatin. Then choose the fresh and hard crab, take the crab roe and minced pork leg heart, boiled chicken juice, ginger and minced garlic together into the pork skin boiled into the jelly and mix well. When it is steamed in the soup pack, the greasy jelly dissolves into the soup. ”

"What about the skin, although the filling is complicated, but the skin and bun are more of a test of the chef's skill, right?"

"That's right. The skin of the soup dumplings must not be sloppy at all, and it must be made of high-quality white flour, kneaded and kneaded to make a very thin and round dough. This is not as good as making steamed buns in general, it requires a very uniform thickness, just the right amount of dampness, softness and hardness, because as long as there is a little thick and thin, it must be the place where the soup bag leaks juice and breaks the skin. ”

Lin Xiao paused, and then said, "As for the last process, making soup dumplings. It also requires a master who is skilled in operation technology to be competent. Every movement is as light, soft and even as 'diving into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently'. Only in this way can we ensure that the soup dumplings are intact after steaming until they are sent to the mouth. ”

"You guys, I'll eat first. Five Eyes couldn't wait, so he stepped forward directly and opened his mouth to bite.

"Hey, be careful!" Liu Mang and Lin Xiao hurriedly reminded aloud.

But it was too late, as soon as Wuyan bit through the skin of the soup dumpling, a stream of hot soup sprayed out, making him scream.

"It's hot, it's hot!" "Five-eyed jumped, hands dancing.

"You fool, you're always so impatient!" Liu Mang couldn't cry or laugh, and threw him a wet towel: "Hurry up and wipe it!"

"Haha! Fooled!" Lin Xiao also laughed: "It's okay, when Emperor Qianlong ate this soup dumpling for the first time, he was also fooled." Otherwise, with his sassy character, he will definitely leave a plaque to announce to the world. This is also the reason why Jingjiang crab roe soup dumplings have only been circulated in a small area until now, and have not spread all over the world. ”

"Two bosses, how are you going to eat this!?" asked Wuyan with a bitter face.

"It's simple, follow me. ”

Lin Xiao poured a little balsamic vinegar into the small plate, and then gently lifted the buns in the cage with chopsticks and put them on the plate.

"Eat this Jingjiang crab roe soup bag has a twelve-character decision, gently lift, move quickly, open the window first, and then drink the soup. ”

Lin Xiao lowered his head and approached, biting a small hole with the tip of his teeth on the top of the soup bag, and then slowly sucking the soup from the small hole.

"The skin of this soup dumpling is thin and tender, the juice is rich and hot, if you are not careful, the skin will break and the soup will leak, and it will not become a soup dumpling, so the action should be as gentle as possible. Lin Xiao explained.

"Hey! It's really exquisite!" Five-eyed was happy, he followed Lin Xiao's example, stepped forward, and sucked gently.

Suddenly, a rich and fragrant soup slowly crossed into his mouth from the small hole.

The soup is really hot, so you can only taste it slowly. But it is precisely because of the scalding that the umami in the soup is completely activated, so that the flavor of chicken juice, crab roe, ginger and green onions added in it is brought into full play.

The chill on the lake in the early morning and the lazy drowsiness in the morning were washed away by this hot soup, and the whole person's spirit was lifted!

After drinking the soup inside, Goyan picked up the remaining bun skin and put it in his mouth.

The soup skin, which is as white as jade, is full of elasticity and does not look like it is made of flour at all. A gentle bite that beats between your lips and teeth, mixing with the remaining soup inside, gives you a sense of satisfaction.

"That's cool!" exclaimed Five-Eyed with a sigh.

"Well, it's full of flavor and aftertaste!" Liu Mang also finished tasting the soup bag in front of him, and also praised it.
