Food starts with noodles

Cabbage is also a relatively common dish in life, and its price is low. It is a must-have winter storage dish in the northern region.

Using boiled water and cabbage that can be seen everywhere in life to make dishes, and it is actually a state banquet dish, this will unconsciously arouse people's curiosity.

Then you will look up the recipe and historical allusions of this dish.

Then you will understand that the boiled water in it is actually a very high-grade clear soup.

This puts off [-] out of [-] people who want to try it at home.

There is no way, it is too difficult to do.

Therefore, although many people have heard of the name of boiled cabbage and know the general method of this dish, not many people have actually tasted it.

As for the taste, most people are also hearsay.

Maybe it's based on my own understanding.

As for the dish of boiled cabbage, Xu Zhuo felt that it was so famous because of its name.

In terms of taste, boiled cabbage is not as good as liver paste soup.

In terms of taste, boiled cabbage is not as good as chickpeas.

But the name of boiled cabbage is good, and it is a bit special when it is served, so it stands out among the three bright soup dishes.

Xu Zhuo chose to cook boiled cabbage for the Mid-Autumn Festival, not to prove anything. In fact, everyone in the family has eaten it, and more than once.

The reason why he made this dish was mainly because he had cooked the other two dishes of Tangcai Sanyan.

Now that you have the skill of boiling cabbage, don’t hide it, make it quickly for everyone to see and see, it can be regarded as learning all the three colors of soup and vegetables.

Just during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wei Junming and Yao Meixiang will come to Beijing to reunite with everyone.

At this time, let the godfather take a look at it. I am not as idle as the old man said in the capital.

In fact, Xu Zhuo also really wanted to cook in the back kitchen every day, and occasionally go out to visit a shop or travel or something.

Wouldn't it be nice to have nothing to do on weekends and play a new game at home.

But he still owed Shao Junru [-] million in cash.

Although he has earned some money now, and there is still more than half a year before the repayment time, he dare not relax.

After all, Xu Zhuo has never been in the habit of owing money since he was a child, and now he has [-] million in debt suddenly, Xu Zhuo is somewhat stressed.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yu Changjiang and his wife, Xu Wenhai and his wife, and Wei Junming and his wife all came to the courtyard in Beijing to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

With so many people gathered together, it is natural to make a big table of good food.

The men in the family, except Yu Changjiang, were all crowded in the kitchen.

Xu Zhuo went to the store before coming, so he came a little late.

When he arrived in the courtyard, he discovered that the leader of the dignified Sichuan cuisine was actually cooking cold dishes in a corner of the chopping board.

Comrade Xu Wenhai, the head of the Xu Family Restaurant, was even worse. Right now, he was holding a kitchen knife and honestly cutting things.

Even Yu Changjiang, who couldn't squeeze into the kitchen, was not idle at the moment, squatting in front of the trash can by the kitchen door, struggling to peel garlic.

Well, the main cooks today are the old man and Yu Peiyong.

These two contracted all the hot dishes for today, and even for everyone to eat well, they started preparing for today's meal a week ago.

Looking at all kinds of ingredients in the kitchen, Xu Zhuo suddenly felt hungry.

But seeing so much volume, he suddenly sighed softly.

Will have to eat leftovers for days.

"Xiao Zhuo, don't do anything today, just wait outside with Ke Ke for dinner, we are in the kitchen."

Seeing Xu Zhuo's eagerness to try, the old man couldn't help asking him to go out.

Ever since he acquired the courtyard house, Xu Zhuo has basically never been idle. He is either shooting videos or doing live broadcasts. Sometimes he even flies to other places in the middle of the night, just to cheer others up, attend an event or something.

Anyway, as long as you give money recently, Xu Zhuo will be there whenever you are called.

It's nothing shabby to make money.

At the beginning, the old man actually couldn't stand it anymore, and urged the old lady to sell some of the houses in the provincial capital to help Xu Zhuo pay back part of the debt.

After all, [-] million suddenly fell on a young man, and the pressure was not ordinary.

Unexpectedly, the old lady who usually doted on Xu Zhuo showed her resolute side.

He didn't sell the house, and he didn't stop Xu Zhuo from showing his face to make money.

He even warned the family members that no one should take the initiative to offer money to Xu Zhuo.

The [-] million owed should be regarded as a spur to Xu Zhuo.

As for the debt, the old lady was very open.

"After the spring of next year, I will quietly sell all the houses in the provincial capital.

At that time, I will make up as much as Xiao Zhuo loses. If it fails, I will mortgage the restaurant at home for a loan. It is only 300 million in cash, not [-] billion. We can pay it back.

Now is to take the opportunity to change Xiao Zhuo's lazy character.

I'm getting married during the Spring Festival, so I can't still be like a child.

Just a little bit of pressure on your shoulders. "

The old lady's words made everyone in the family agree, and even the members of the Yu family no longer worried about the [-] million owed.

Although the debt of [-] million yuan is a lot, if you tighten your belt and dispose of some fixed assets, you can still pay it back.

Of course, doing so will inevitably hurt the two families.

However, I got a set of super large courtyard house in the second ring road of the capital, which is a good deal no matter what.

Because the market value of the courtyard house has been rising year after year, even getting higher and higher.

In this case, having a courtyard house in hand is a very stable investment method.

Also very reassuring.

And not only the Siheyuan, Xu Zhuo's Sifang Restaurant has also been appreciating in value.

In addition, Sifang Restaurant is full of guests every day, and there are many people waiting in line every day. If you want to have a meal in the restaurant on time, you must make a reservation at least three days in advance, otherwise you have to queue outside. No one can tell.

In this case, the old lady naturally looked down on those properties in the provincial capital.

If you have money, it would be great to buy a house in Beijing.

It can be used for investment, or it can be rented out to earn rent, no matter what.

It's a big holiday today, the old man wants Xu Zhuo to rest.

He was too busy recently, although he was very happy that Xu Zhuo had become active and serious, but he really felt sorry for the child.

In the past in Linping City, although Xu Zhuo had a falling out with the old man, Xu Zhuo had been fishing for three days and drying nets for two days at that time, and he wasn't tired at all.

But now, he is busy day and night, so the old man wants him to rest.

But Xu Zhuo listened to this, and said with a smile: "While you are all here, I want to make this dish of boiled cabbage for you to try, and see if there is anything that needs improvement."

"Boiled cabbage?"

The group of people in the kitchen were all stunned, even Yu Changjiang, who was peeling garlic at the door, was a little surprised.

Aren't you busy every day recently, when did you learn how to boil cabbage again?

But since it's like cooking, everyone naturally doesn't stop it.

Moreover, there is ready-made clear chicken soup in the kitchen. After boiling it yesterday, I just swept it with chicken breast. It is clear and tastes just right.

So if Xu Zhuo wanted to cook boiled cabbage, it would be quite easy.

Just arrange the cabbage, heat up the chicken broth and pour it over.

Very simple.

It's so simple that you don't even need to add seasonings, because the broth is made with two chickens, two ducks, two elbows and one Jinhua ham.

Jinhua ham contains salt, so it is salty enough.

As for other ingredients, the whole duck adds fragrance, the whole chicken adds umami taste, and the elbow makes the broth more fragrant. With the salty and fresh taste of Jinhua ham, it becomes a perfect pot of broth.

There is clear soup, and Chinese cabbage is also available at home.

So Xu Zhuo can cook at any time.

With clear soup, the recipe of this dish is even simpler than a cold dish.

Xu Zhuo didn't do it directly, but waited until the old man and the others were almost busy, and then came to the chopping board with Chinese cabbage.

He first tore off the outermost layers of cabbage leaves from Chinese cabbage, and then cut the cabbage root into flat roots with a kitchen knife.

Then, with a kitchen knife, he cut off the Chinese cabbage in half.

After cutting, take out the lower half of Chinese cabbage, put it in boiling water sprinkled with salt, and start to blanch.

This is to try to soften the cabbage and prepare for the next trimming.

There is no need to cook the cabbage too hard, when the outer leaves are almost transparent, Xu Zhuo takes the cabbage out of the pot and puts it in cold water to cool it down.

Doing so will keep the cabbage crisp and tender, which will make it taste better.

If there is no cold water, the cabbage leaves are likely to gradually become soft and rotten under the influence of their own temperature.

After the temperature of the cabbage dropped, Xu Zhuo placed the lower half of the cabbage on the chopping board, brought the kitchen scissors, and began to trim the cabbage leaves.

To be precise, it should be the cabbage gang, because basically all the cabbage leaves have been cut off.

Now all that is left are the parts of the cabbage gang, only a little bit of cabbage leaves in some corners.

Xu Zhuo turned down the outermost piece of cabbage, then took the scissors and cut the piece of cabbage into the shape of lotus petals.

The so-called lotus petals are to cut off both sides of the cabbage gang so that the head of the cabbage gang becomes a point.

However, when pruning, be careful not to cut too straight, and the angle of the tip should not be too small, otherwise the lotus petals will be slender and unsightly.

When pruning, it is best to cut a little arc.

After trimming one piece, trim another piece.

In this way, from the outside to the inside, trim the cabbage one by one.

When pruning, you have to pay attention to the length of the petals as you go in, the shorter the length of the petals, so that the outermost petals can always wrap the inner petals.

Only in this way, when the clear soup is poured at the end, the lotus blooming effect will appear.

And in order to make the effect better, when trimming the innermost stamen, that is, when the cabbage core, it is best to put a wolfberry inside.

Such a clear clear soup, paired with light yellow cabbage, and a fiery red wolfberry in the middle, instantly enhances the appearance.

After Xu Zhuo prepared the whole cabbage, he put it in a slightly shallower white porcelain basin.

Then he poured the clear chicken soup that he made yesterday into the kettle and heated it on the stove.

There is no need to boil it, because the chicken soup will gradually become cloudy after boiling, so it is enough to heat it to eighty or ninety degrees.

At this moment, the cabbage is already boiled. You only need to wash the prepared lotus with a little hotter clear soup, and you don't need to heat it too much.

In the restaurant, dishes have been placed on a round dining table made of mahogany.

The place in the middle is empty, it is reserved for Xu Zhuo's boiled cabbage dish.

After everyone was seated, Xu Zhuo came in with a soup bowl containing cabbage in one hand and a kettle in the other.

Wei Junming placed the soup pot in the middle, then motioned to Keke and said, "Don't be dazed, take out your phone and take a picture, Xiaozhuo's boiled cabbage is about to be played."

At this time, the pot was empty, except for a flower-like cabbage root in the middle.

After everyone took out their mobile phones and started shooting, Xu Zhuo came over with a kettle in hand.

He pointed the spout of the pot to the head of the flower bone, and then slowly poured out the clear chicken soup in the pot.

The clear clear soup poured out, just poured on the flower bone, under the impact of the clear soup, coupled with the heat of the clear soup, the petals on the flower bone bloomed one by one.

After all the lotus flowers are in bloom, the red wolfberry in the middle is the finishing touch, which is very beautiful.

Xu Zhuo stopped when he added half of the clear soup. At this time, the lotus flower was faintly visible in the clear soup, which was very beautiful.

The old lady couldn't help but yelled, "My dear grandson's craftsmanship is really good!"

Others also boasted non-stop.
