From a barbecue stand to a global gourmet tycoon

Chapter 167
I originally wanted to use tempeh and winter bamboo shoots to fry a plate, but later I thought it would take too much time, and the sausage and blood tofu were not easy to handle, so I had to steam it and eat it dry.

This kind of bacon smoked in the countryside is the same as jade, and it has a nine-point taste after being steamed and eaten directly.

Chen Xian was playing lotus on the side, and when he saw that it was almost done, Chu Hao put pork belly cut into lumps into a pot with cold water, added cooking wine and fragrant leaves, onions, celery, and carrots to remove the fishy smell, and sprinkled some white pepper Diced, blanch out and pick up the vegetables.

The next step is to fry the sugar color. Chu Hao’s method is to take sesame oil, add rock sugar and use warm water, and wait for it to melt and change color. ingredients and meat.

The caramelization of the sugar color takes away all the fishy smell of the meat. Sprinkle it with Huadiao, color it with soy sauce, sprinkle some pepper, simmer in boiling water for 10 minutes, then put it in a pressure cooker, add a little warm water to swell the tea tree mushroom, and press it for 10 minutes.

This dish is not the classic braised pork, but a new twist. After years of improvement passed down from my grandfather, the taste is more layered, that is, salted octopus.

Wait for the braised pork to be pressed and pour it out, continue to press the octopus with the original juice at the bottom of the pot for 3 minutes, collect the juice on high heat, stir fry and pour into the casserole.

Half an hour passed before and after.

The peanut cheese on my mother's side is almost done.

The following dishes are much simpler, a fish-flavored shredded pork, a steamed sea bass, a chicken jelly, boiled a meatball and bean sharp soup, and the roast duck I bought was chopped into pieces and steamed.

They also mixed a few cold dishes, among them were the wild vegetables picked by Jiang Qin and Jiang Qi when they went back to the countryside. After mixing, this kind of wild vegetable can also be used to make kimchi, which is sour and crispy with sweetness, tender and refreshing, and crunchy when chewed.

Following the last dish of stir-fried kidneys and flowers out of the fire, Chu Hao felt someone behind him and patted him on the head when he was serving it. Looking back, it was Lu Chenyu who came over at some point.

Just now the pressure cooker squeaked, and it was normal not to hear the door closing.

Outside the living room, the whole table was filled with dishes, Chu Yue was sitting next to Wang Ting, and the two sisters Jiang Qin and Jiang Qi were tidying up the living room and setting up the stools.

"Fool, what are you looking at?" Lu Chenyu approached with a smile, and hugged Chu Hao from behind.

Chu Hao slapped her upturned buttocks twice, "Take it out."

After a while, the family sat down one after another.

Wang Ting and Lu Chenyu came to pay New Year's greetings. The former didn't want to eat here, but when he came here, some dishes were fried.

As for Lu Chenyu, he just came back to enjoy the meal.

The new house is relatively spacious, and besides, this is Lu Chenyu's home.

After she took the dishes and put them away, when she came back, she saw Chu Hao wiping the stove with a rag.

"Why didn't my mother-in-law come?" Chu Hao asked.

Lu Chenyu blushed with embarrassment, spat at him, and said, "She said that tomorrow, just let me take you back to pay New Year's greetings. My mother is used to being alone."

Chu Hao pinched her cheek, "It's Chinese New Year, do you want to go back after eating?"

Lu Chenyu blinked: "Where are you going? This is my home!"

Chu Hao chuckled, but thinking that it would not be good to leave Aunt Chen alone at home, he still said, "Why don't we let her come over to eat together? Let's watch the Spring Festival Gala as a family in the evening."

Lu Chenyu: "I said it, but if she doesn't come, what can I do?"

Chu Hao sighed, "I'll take you back after watching the Spring Festival Gala in a while, and bring some gifts for Aunt Chen."

Lu Chenyu thought for a while, and finally nodded.

Since the two have been together, their respective families have rarely been talked about in chat conversations.

But Lu Chenyu and Chu Hao are both single-parent families, and their father died early, but Chu Hao's family has a younger sister, and she is the only daughter in Lu Chenyu's family.

It is not easy for Chen Jie to raise a child by herself.

No matter what happens on New Year's Eve, she cannot be allowed to spend it alone.

In fact, the Spring Festival Gala wasn't very interesting, Chu Hao planned to watch a bit first, and then drive back with Lu Chenyu to accompany Aunt Chen, at least don't leave her alone.

"Bring some food from home later?"

Lu Chenyu nodded, but said, "We'll talk about it later."

She dragged Chu Hao to the living room to sit down.

Then I heard my mother pour a glass of old wine for everyone. This is something she has treasured for several years and has been reluctant to drink it. Today, seeing that the family is complete, she took it out.

"There are only a few dishes. We are all a family here today. Don't dislike it. Just eat whatever you want."

Chu Hao had black lines all over his head.

My mother would say this every New Year.

In fact, the most proud moment in the Chu family is the time of the New Year's Eve dinner.

The recipes handed down from grandpa's generation, every dish is a delicacy and a good product.

Who in the village doesn't envy the Chu family's New Year's Eve dinner?
In the past, there were often people who came over to eat, and there were some children who grew up eating Baijia rice in the countryside, and they often came to visit.

Chu Hao smelled the wine in his glass, and it did have a strong aroma.

He doesn't drink much, but he has to have a few drinks after the Chinese New Year.

At worst, take a taxi to take Lu Chenyu back, it's not far anyway.

Turn on the TV, and with the cheerful and lively sounds on the TV, the family starts eating.

Chu Yue was sitting next to Wang Ting, long time no see, Wang Ting still had short hair, but she was much prettier, her skin became white and tender, her figure was the same as before, the kind that could sit on the sofa and print Out of a peach printed level.

She just came to pay New Year's greetings, but Chu Yueqiang stayed behind, planning to eat a few bites before leaving, and she was embarrassed when she saw Chu Hao and Lu Chenyu, anyway, she didn't know why it happened, it was just embarrassment.

"Yue'er, my parents are still waiting for me at home." She said in a low voice as she ate some food.

Chu Yue said carelessly: "I'll take you back in a while, you can stay with me first."

Wang Ting sighed, raised her head and glanced at Chu Hao again.

It seemed that peeking at Chu Hao had become a habit.

Seeing that he was still as handsome as before, sitting across from him, he only saw the left side of his face, staring at the food on the table and feasting, while Lu Chenyu obediently stood next to him, helping him with food, and from time to time Clink a glass with him secretly, and drink all the wine carefully.

After drinking the wine, Lu Chenyu's face turned redder, adding a bit of coquettishness and beauty, her eyes seemed to drip water.

That kind of love... Wang Ting looked at her and clicked her tongue.

But fortunately, after these few months, Wang Ting has already let go.

I don't have any complicated feelings in my heart, I just think it's good.

You know, there are so many people chasing her in school that it’s hard to choose.

Just at this moment, Jiang Qin sighed, and said to Chu Yue: "I am relieved of your brother now. When they get married, have a baby, and live a good life, what about you? When are you planning to find a baby for your mother?" Boyfriend back?"

Chu Yue was finishing a sip of peanut butter, with white juice remaining on the upper half of her lips, she blinked when she heard this, and suddenly looked confused.

Why did the topic suddenly turn to himself?
It's just... pretty blunt.

She pursed her lips, and for a while, her face was very complicated, and she couldn't help but smile.

Seeing this, Chu Hao said, "Mom, she's only a freshman, so why don't you urge her boyfriend to stop studying?"

Jiang Qin muttered and buried her head in her meal, and even gave Chu Yue a look, "Don't think I don't know."

Chu Yue's scalp was numb, "You know what?"

Jiang Qin pointed at Wang Ting: "Ren Tingting said that there were many people chasing you at school, why did you ignore them all? Mom, I think you can try to fall in love or something, it won't affect anything, and you can find a suitable partner. Come back, show me, just show your brother."

Chu Yue wanted to cry but had no tears, so she could only turn her grief and indignation into appetite, and ruthlessly ate the rice.

Chu Hao laughed out loud, "Only a ghost like her wants it."

"Chu Hao!" Chu Yue was inexplicably angry, and her eyes were about to burst into flames.

Chu Yue is still very beautiful. Although she is not as big as a rabbit like Lu Chenyu and not as round as Wang Ting, she has a pair of long white legs, her body is cut perfectly, and she knows how to dress, just at home. She will be a bit embarrassed, but usually she is the most eye-catching little beauty in the crowd when we go out to play.

"I'm not in the mood to fall in love yet, I have to study hard." Chu Yue said.

Jiang Qin said: "Your brother gives you tens of thousands of pocket money every month. Tell me, how do you use it?"

Speaking of this piece, Chu Yue smiled, very proud, "I don't use it very much, I have saved most of it!"

Jiang Qin nodded in relief, "Don't waste money in school, it's good to know how to save money."

Chu Yue chuckled.

In fact, she has ideas.

The pocket money my brother gave her will be saved for a while, and then I will use it to buy a scooter. Anyway, during the time that Chu Yue was in school, she also got her driver's license. With a car, she can go home every day without having to worry about it. Living in the school dormitory makes it much more convenient to go anywhere.

And the little sisters in their dormitory must be envious of her having a trolley, and they can travel together during the holidays.

Chu Yue is at school now, and those who play well with her know that she is a low-key rich woman, and her family is the famous uncle's barbecue restaurant, and her daily income is a few months' wages of ordinary people.

Chu Hao also asked her: "Has there been a live broadcast recently?"

Chu Yue shook her head. She found that live broadcasting is not very profitable. Now it's time to pass a blue ocean, and the live broadcasting industry is even more involved. She broadcasted it for a while a few months ago, but then she got bored, so she I don't play it much anymore, at most I just play it casually when I go out to play.

There are not many people watching, and there are still a group of diehard fans of Xiaoyueer in the group.

Otherwise, Chu Hao, the uncle's name, would not have been called to this day.

……

Strange to say.

I usually don't have a big appetite.

Today, everyone ate two bowls.

Peanut butter is also popular.

It didn't take long for the stir-fried kidneys to be brought to the table. As the head chef, Chu Hao didn't even eat a piece of it. The only half of it was for him to eat from Lu Chenyu's bowl.

Braised pork and bacon are also fast to eat. Good meat is fat but not greasy. The bacon that has been dried out is even more delicious. The fat part has a lumpy texture when chewed, and the mouth is full of oil. Eating makes people unable to stop chopsticks.

Chu Hao stuffed a piece of bacon into his mouth with rice tofu, enjoying the continuous intersection of the two levels, he seemed to realize something in his heart.

Qin Jiangyi kept asking him to come up with some new patterns and hand them over to the factory for production.

Chu Hao never made up his mind.

How about some bacon?

Bacon is easy to preserve, mass production requires a plan, because the production time is very long, it takes four to five days or even a week, not to mention the quantity must be guaranteed, factory production is different from folk self-made methods, but if Chu Hao wants to beat it in terms of flavor As for competitors, they still have to choose a more traditional approach.

The old way of smoking bacon is better than the current high-tech and time-saving production methods, this is absolutely.

Various production equipment also needs to be redesigned. It is difficult to find sources for materials such as pine branches and sawdust. At least mass production cannot give you a loose target. If you want 10,000+ boxes a day, follow the way Chu Hao envisioned. is completely impossible.

It doesn't feel very good to implement...

Go back and discuss with Lao Qin to see what plan she has.

After all, Chu Hao also knows how to smoke bacon, and he guarantees that the smoked bacon tastes better than other restaurants.

Moreover, he still has a batch of goods in his hand, and he can buy the best ingredients to make bacon. Of course, the essence of industrialization is to reduce costs and increase production. It is very difficult to balance the flavor and production. .

……

This year's Spring Festival Gala is still the same as before.

Whether it's a sketch or a cross talk, they are more... emmmmm, and tend to be x-style.

It's no fun.

Wang Ting didn't wait to watch the Spring Festival Gala, so she was sent back by Chu Yue. Jiang Qin asked her to bring some gifts to pay New Year greetings.

Chu Hao looked at the right time and said, "Mom, Aunt Chen is at home alone. I'm taking Xiaolu back right now, and I'm going to see Aunt Chen."

Jiang Qin nodded, took some gifts for him and held them in her hand, "Don't go empty-handed, say hello for me."

"understood."

Lu Chenyu also said with a smile, "Goodbye, Auntie."

"Hey, do you want to come back to sleep at night? Mom will spread the bedding for you."

Chu Hao thought for a while: "No need, go to Xiaolu's house to sleep tonight."

"Okay." Jiang Qin didn't force it.

She already knew how far the relationship between Chu Hao and Lu Chenyu had progressed.

So there is nothing to say about two little people sleeping together.

At least she is supportive.

He didn't even give some kind reminders, as if he wished that Lu Chenyu would get pregnant soon...

Lu Chenyu's face turned red with embarrassment and he glanced at Chu Hao slightly angrily.

After getting in the car, she also received a call from Qin Jiangyi, she was calling Lu Chenyu to wish her New Year greetings.

"happy New Year."

"Jiang Yi, where are you?"

With the hands-free on the phone, Lu Chenyu was sitting in the co-pilot talking to her.

Qin Jiangyi: "In my hometown in Suzhou and Hangzhou, I just finished the New Year's Eve dinner."

It was quiet on her side.

"We just finished eating. Chu Hao and Aunt Jiang made a lot of delicious food today..."

She kept her family treasures in mind and told Qin Jiangyi one by one.

"Is the food good, Chu Hao is beside you?"

"Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, Chu Hao gestured for Lu Chenyu to hand him the phone.
