From a barbecue stand to a global gourmet tycoon

Chapter 131 Shen's Home, Rooftop BBQ
Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Chu Hao met Qin Jiangyi and drove to Shen Yuhai's home in her car.

In front of me is an old-fashioned community building. The plants in the green belt are very lush. After autumn, the leaves turn yellow and fall all over the ground. The autumn wind that blows is very refreshing and refreshing.

There are many people in the community, all of them are aunts and uncles, gathered around the fitness equipment, playing chess, chatting and drinking tea.

There are also many domestic puppies running around on the ground, alive and kicking.

Chu Hao looked up, "Let's go, let's go up."

"Ah."

At first, Chu Hao thought that a big guy like Shen Yuhai must live in a big place, and since he was going to have a barbecue, there must be a yard high or low, right?

But when I came here, I realized that it was just like the place where ordinary people live.

How can we barbecue here?
Is it possible that you are at home?

With so much smoke, are you not afraid of disturbing other people?
But they are all here, let's see how they arrange it, maybe the venue is not here.

Qin Jiangyi followed Chu Hao, very well-behaved. Before meeting Chu Hao, she changed into a more casual outfit, just a pair of jeans under a sweater. It was quite different from her usual exquisite dress, but It gives people an approachable feeling, and the outfit neutralizes the strong aura of this woman, making it easier to get close to.

Chu Hao can maintain a sense of normalcy and get along with Zhong Chenglin and Shen Yuhai as ordinary friends, but Qin Jiangyi can't.

For her, this time Gasser came in to visit the elders with great difficulty, so she naturally had to dress up nicely, if she was too aggressive, it would be very unpleasant.

Besides, this is a family banquet.

That's why Qin Jiangyi came here.

Climbing up to the sixth floor, he knocked lightly on the door.

With a creak, it was Zhong Chenglin who opened the door.

"Hey, Master Chu is here?"

Chu Hao nodded with a smile: "Mr. Zhong."

Qin Jiangyi also stood behind him to greet him, "Mr. Zhong, long time no see."

Zhong Chenglin smiled and said, "Boss Qin, hehe, please come in quickly."

Chu Hao walked into the house in a daze. The living room was swept clean. The sofa and coffee table were all old furniture. They looked like they had been used for many years, but the TV was very new with a big screen. There is a hint of old people's smell, which makes people feel kind.

There were two people sitting on the sofa, Shen Yuhai and a middle-aged man. Chu Hao glanced at him. His skin was slightly dark, his arms were big and his waist was round. Also very blessed.

Shen Yuhai greeted him with a smile, and shook hands with Chu Hao, "Master Chu, please sit down, we will go up to eat later."

He pointed to the roof of the building, and Chu Hao suddenly realized that today was a rooftop barbecue.

The old man will enjoy it.

When it comes to grilling, grilling in the yard and grilling on the roof are two different things.

The former is surrounded by courtyard walls, giving people a warm sense of security. Sitting around with a few friends, it is a small world, but the rooftop is different. Climbing high and looking far away, you don’t have a feeling of pleasure and hatred when eating barbecue .

"Come on, let me introduce you. This is Li Xiaoqing, a friend from Magic City. He is also famous today. He knows that Master Chu's barbecue is good. Xiaoqing is a documentary shooter, and he also cooks food. After you go up, you have to communicate well."

Chu Hao nodded. Li Xiaoqing, who was on the sofa, put down the teacup in her hand, got up slowly, and gently walked up to shake hands with Chu Hao, "Hello, hello, I've been hearing from Mr. Shen that there is a young man who is good at barbecue in Shancheng. Man, just now I was listening to Mr. Zhong and Mr. Shen's description, my mouth was watering, haha..."

Chu Hao said modestly: "No, I'm still young, so I can't say that, maybe the baked things just happen to meet the tastes of Mr. Zhong and Mr. Shen...Luck, luck."

Some commercial bragging is inevitable.

Chu Hao could also see Li Xiaoqing's love for food.

When it comes to food, his eyes seem to light up, and the flesh on his face trembles, very cute.

I didn't know what they were talking about before I came, but after I came, their topic was all about barbecue.

Li Xiaoqing spoke slowly and calmly, which naturally calmed people down. Listening to his description, Mr. Shen and Mr. Zhong were sitting together, drinking tea while listening, with smiles on their faces.

"I was in Shantou before. I don't know if you have eaten the special products there. The fish that is only found in the south of Guangdong and Fujian. Because the roasted meat is fresh and tender, it looks like tofu. The locals call it tofu fish. When eating, the fish is removed. The head and internal organs are supported by only one soft main bone, which is very delicious."

Li Xiaoqing patted Elder Shen's knee and spoke vividly.

Shen Yuhai nodded, "Chaoshan people also call it hard fish, I have eaten it before."

Zhong Chenglin joked, "Is there any dish in this world that you haven't eaten?"

Shen Yuhai smacked his lips and said with a smile: "I don't dare to say it to the whole world, but I have tasted everything in our country. I used to travel around with my wife, and when I go to a place, I can't forget the delicious food there."

There are eight major cuisines in Xiaguo that are famous all over the world.

But in fact, the most beautiful dishes are still the local dishes of various regions, which are full of flavor while integrating local customs.

And they all have one characteristic, that is, they can only be eaten locally.

As soon as you go out, the taste changes.

Li Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, this can't be called running around, it has to be called traveling, it's different, hahaha... completely different!"

Shen Yuhai's face darkened.

Zhong Chenglin was also joking aside.

Chu Hao could see that this Li Xiaoqing, who was much younger than Mr. Shen and Mr. Zhong, was also a big boss, and he and Shen Yuhai and the others were regarded as friends who had forgotten the past years, not the relationship between seniors and seniors.

awesome……

At this moment, Qin Jiangyi poked him with her arm, and Chu Hao looked back, she slowly came up to Chu Hao and whispered in Chu Hao's ear: "Haven't you watched the documentary he made?"

Chu Hao: "You mean food documentaries?"

Qin Jiangyi nodded, and pursed her lustrous soft lips, as if she had applied lipstick.

"It's worth watching, but I haven't paid attention to the production team."

Qin Jiangyi sighed and said a few familiar names in Chu Hao's ear.

Only now did Chu Hao's eyes widen, and his pupils shrank slightly, "Really?"

"Then can I lie to you? The two of us have met a god today." Qin Jiangyi scolded him angrily, "You should behave well in a while, this person is more picky than Mr. Shen, let him like it, for you It is beneficial, at least, your store will definitely be included in the new documentary.”

Chu Hao reacted.

Li Xiaoqing's visit to Shen's hometown today is actually a kind of temptation.

Because just hearing the praise from Mr. Shen and Mr. Zhong, without tasting it yourself, you will never believe it.

It's hard to say whether it's really going to be a documentary, but if Chu Hao's baked goods are mediocre, then it's nothing. If he can't conquer the boss's tongue, then the documentary will be a waste of time?

While Chu Hao was thinking about it.

Qin Jiangyi poked Chu Hao again.

He seemed to be out of his body when he was in class, and he suddenly realized that Li Xiaoqing was looking at him with a smile, and asked: "Master Chu, today I have crescent bone and sheepskin, and I also brought two good fish. As well as the rib fans and tendons prepared by Mr. Shen and Mr. Zhong, look at today..."

Chu Hao nodded, he could hold all these ingredients, so he said with a smile: "No problem, but if you want to eat something good at night, it's time to deal with it now."

Shen Yuhai heard the words, slapped his thigh, and got up quickly, "Well, let's go up and talk, and help Master Chu while chatting."

Chu Hao waved his hands and said with a smile, "Hehe, then there's no need."

He had already brought the secret seasoning from the store, but it was in a big bag, and it was still in the car downstairs, so he turned to look at Qin Jiangyi.

Seeing this, Qin Jiangyi sighed, "I can't even move so many."

"Who told you to move, that means, you have to give me the car keys."

"Oh!" Qin Jiangyi finally realized, her earlobe was a little red, and handed the car keys to Chu Hao.

Zhong Chenglin smiled and said, "Then Boss Qin will go up with us first."

"Okay Mr. Zhong!" Qin Jiangyi smiled generously, winked with Chu Hao, and then he pushed the door and went downstairs to get the seasoning.

In today's atmosphere, because Qin Jiangyi is a junior, she naturally regards Chu Hao as a comrade in the trenches. The two of them just turned on the voice in the team, and they will see what Chu Hao does in a while. She is helping me on the sidelines Just be busy.

Soon.

Chu Hao went up to the rooftop with a pack of seasonings.

The roof is also full of green plants, and a half-drawn plastic shed is built for ventilation, and some flowers and plants are planted around, and even a large water tank is placed between the green plants, in which there are water lilies Goldfish were swimming in it, and the gate of the rooftop was locked, and the key to the lock was obviously in the hands of Mr. Shen.

When the breeze blows, it is refreshing.

It's a nice place.

At the same time, there were two other people on the roof.

An old lady and a young man are spreading charcoal and cleaning vegetables.

If nothing else, this should be Mrs. Shen's wife and son, right?

No, no, no, this man is too young, could he be his grandson?

Chu Hao nodded with them, and Shen Yuhai smiled and said, "This is my wife, this is my little grandson, and this is Master Chu."

The three nodded to each other.

Shen Xifeng had met Chu Hao before. Before Chu Hao opened his shop, he and his grandfather had tasted his family's barbecue. It was really delicious. Unexpectedly, he invited his family here today, and he even held such a big banquet. Shen Xifeng couldn't understand...

Isn't it barbecue?Is it really that delicious?
Anyway, he felt that everything he ate was delicious, and he was not as demanding on food as his grandfather, so with such sensitivity, he naturally couldn't tell how good Chu Hao's craftsmanship was.

But he still came up and shook hands with Chu Hao, "Thank you, Master Chu, it's really troublesome for you, my grandfather often talks about your barbecue."

Chu Hao scratched his head and said a few words modestly.

At this time, Shen Yuhai waved to Chu Hao, "Master Chu, is this charcoal okay? Can it meet your requirements?"

Chu Hao went up to have a look, and found that they were all charcoal, and Guo Luo carefully selected evenly sized charcoal, which was very professional.

Li Xiaoqing also knelt down and sniffed it together, "Mr. Shen, isn't this made from an earthen kiln?"

Shen Yuhai smiled and said, "You boy, you have good eyesight."

He has a waste warehouse. He built an earthen kiln privately, and usually used it to bake things for himself.

The charcoal in front of them was made from fruit tree wood, which was burned this morning. Before Chu Hao came, Shen Xifeng and his grandma had specially asked them to break it into pieces.

Seeing this, Chu Hao waved his hands and said, "Don't worry about it, these are enough, save some whole charcoal, it will be used."

Shen Yuhai nodded: "Yes, listen to Master Chu, the three of us are elementary school students today, and we can do whatever Master Chu tells you, as long as we can eat the skewers baked from your hands, that's enough!"

Chu Hao's face was a little hot, and he couldn't handle it, so he just nodded.

He is confident in his craft, but it is really uncomfortable to be praised like this.

Qin Jiangyi, who was chatting with Zhong Chenglin, smiled when she saw this: "Stop teasing Mr. Shen, you made him shy, what if he can't cook well?"

Shen Yuhai was taken aback, and he waved his hands: "Don't dare, don't dare, Master Chu must play well, we have been waiting for this day for a long time."

Chu Hao: ...

How long have you been waiting?

I don't see you coming to my shop to eat barbecue?

That's it.

He glanced at the ingredients placed in the iron basin next to him.

The crescent bone, shaped like a crescent, is the shoulder blade of a pig's front leg. One piece is only two and a half, and ten pigs only ship five catties. This thing tastes good when baked, mainly because it highlights a crispy feeling.

I don't know what these two old men are thinking.

Your teeth... really chew?
He arranged the crescent bones neatly on the chopping board, and then smiled at Shen Xifeng: "Take it to the refrigerator to cool it down."

Shen Xifeng didn't know why, so he was a little confused, but he did as he did, carrying the chopping board and went downstairs.

Li Xiaoqing smiled and said: "Master Chu, what do you mean by putting it in the refrigerator?"

Chu Hao smiled and said, "It's convenient to wear strings."

In fact, this is just one of them. In addition to being convenient for stringing, the most perfect side of the crescent bone can only be shown when it is slightly thawed, so that the strings worn out will not lose their shape.

Generally speaking, Chu Hao would not do this, because it would be unnecessary for him to take off his pants and fart.

But the guests to be entertained today are different, so he took a very serious attitude.

Li Xiaoqing nodded suddenly, walked up and fished out two big fish from the tank, and handed them to Chu Hao, "Master Chu, do you recognize them?"

Chu Hao lowered his head, for a moment he couldn't tell what kind of fish it was.

But Qin Jiangyi next to him squinted his eyes, and smiled half-smile, "Director Li has put so much effort into bringing this kind of grass carp. Did it come by air?"

"Ah..." Li Xiaoqing smiled, and was not annoyed by Qin Jiangyi's exposure, and said, "This crispy carp comes from Zhongshan. I have a friend who specializes in raising this kind of grass carp over there, but the way he feeds it is different. Does Boss Qin know what he feeds?"

Chu Hao: ...

Director Li loves to show off.

He really didn't know what species it was, but he could tell it was a type of grass carp.

And Qin Jiangyi's eyesight is much stronger.

But how do you guess?
She could only shake her head.

Li Xiaoqing looked like a winner, slightly proud, said: "He feeds broad beans."

"broad bean?"

"That's right, this kind of grass carp, which is more than one year old, grows up on broad beans. The meat is springy and crisp, and it is firm and not loose when used in a hot pot. It is a wonderful product for tooth sacrifice."

As he spoke, he put the fish on the basin, "Master Chu has to show me something today."

What's happening here?
Give me a test question?
Chu Hao picked up the fish and took a look. It doesn't matter what kind of fish, as long as it is grass carp, then he knows what to do.

Qin Jiangyi was a little worried, but still asked with a smile, "Are you sure?"

"Ham, if you're not sure about it, I'll set a fire for Uncle Li and bake it for a try."

Qin Jiangyi was a little speechless, pursed her lips, leaned closer to his ear again, exhaled like blue, and said, "I give you a suggestion, use the belly part..."

Chu Hao nodded. He didn't care what part he used, but his ears felt a little itchy...

He turned his attention to other ingredients, and today there are rib fans and tendons.

After taking a look, the selection of materials is very full, and it is the fattest kind. This selection of materials is most suitable for barbecue.

Because the thinner the ribs are, the drier they will be.

As for the tendon... it's also quite hot. If you don't pay attention to it, it's hard to chew, let alone roast it.

problem... problem...

As for the fresh sheepskin, Chu Hao couldn't be bothered. He knew it by heart without even looking at it a few times.

When Shen Xifeng came up empty-handed, he saw Chu Hao handling the ingredients.

He held a knife, facing a piece of rib fan, after deboning and cleaning, he carefully changed the knife, and then skillfully cut the meat into evenly sized pieces.

Qin Jiangyi who was beside her seemed a little nervous, but she still rolled up her sleeves and said, "I'll help you, give the order."

The main reason is that today's ingredients are not available in Chu Hao's store, and I don't know if he can handle them.

Chu Hao looked up at her and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will arrange a task for you. First, cook the tendons."

He told Qin Jiangyi the steps and what materials to prepare.

Qin Jiangyi began to do so.

Chu Hao couldn't help but laugh at someone like her who didn't touch the spring water with her ten fingers, and actually played in person today.

And those three bosses didn't just sit and chat like this, but observed carefully from the side.

Chu Hao felt that he had become a work of art, and the three people around him had burning eyes and enthusiasm, as if they wanted to swallow him up.

"Master Chu, please explain to us." Li Xiaoqing was like a curious baby.

"what?"

Apart from teaching his disciples, Chu Hao really didn't explain it. He faltered for a long time before he organized his words and said, "This...cutting the rib fan like this is to make the charcoal fire unbiased and fully let the fire on it The texture is heated, according to my method, to bake this kind of ribs, you have to use the whole charcoal, so that the heat can slowly penetrate."

Li Xiaoqing smiled and said, "What about the broken charcoal?"

Chu Hao looked back at the pile of crushed charcoal on the ground beside him, and said with a smile: "These crushed charcoal has been beaten and fully breathed, and it is most suitable for grilling small skewers, which can allow continuous output of firepower."

He put the cut lamb chops in the big basin again, and handed it to Shen Xifeng, "Please, please put it in the refrigerator to drain the acid."

If it's a pork rib fan, don't use it.

But this doesn't work.

This is lamb rib fan...
