Food starts with noodles

After jumping down from the tree, the little guy turned his face and glanced at Xu Zhuo who had just entered the door, and waved his paw in dissatisfaction.

It seems to blame Xu Zhuo's arrival for scaring the sparrows away.

Xu Zhuo didn't pay attention to the little guy, and went to the kitchen. Seeing the old man packing the shrimps, he asked curiously, "Grandpa, what are you going to cook?"

The old man smiled and said, "It's about making sweet and sour shrimp. You came just in time. I'll teach you how to make this dish."

Chapter 1627 Passing the Torch (The Finale)

Do sweet and sour shrimp?

Xu Zhuo didn't know why, because the difficulty of this dish was not very high, and its reputation was not as good as Baipao Shrimp, Longjing Shrimp, etc.

Moreover, in the sweet and sour cuisine, there are two dishes of sweet and sour carp and squirrel mandarin fish to support the appearance, and the sweet and sour shrimp is not obvious.

I don't know what the old man means by cooking this dish now.

The old man cleaned up the shrimps soaked in clear water and said, "This is the first hot dish your great-grandfather taught me. Today, I will teach you this dish."

first course?

It was only then that Xu Zhuo realized that in the eyes of the old man, it probably meant passing the torch from generation to generation.

Call Coco later and ask her to come for lunch.

Girls like to eat sweet and sour dishes, and this sweet and sour shrimp dish is no exception.

The recipe of sweet and sour shrimp is not difficult. The cleaned shrimp is coated with a layer of crispy paste mixed with flour and eggs, fried in an oil pan until the surface is golden, and then removed to control the oil.

Then burn the sweet and sour sauce in the pot, put the fried shrimp in and stir fry carefully.

When the surface of the shrimp is covered with ruddy sweet and sour sauce, this dish is ready to be served on a plate.

The recipe of the dish is very simple, and the appearance is also the ruddy color of the sweet and sour dishes that are very common, but because it is the first dish that the old man learned back then, it is different.

At least when he was studying, Xu Zhuo felt that the old man was very emotional.

It probably reminds me of the time when I was learning how to cook.

It's quite embarrassing to think about it. It has been more than half a century since I learned the first hot dish when I was a teenager, and I have changed from a strong boy to a white-haired old man.

Xu Zhuo felt that now that the old man taught him how to cook this dish, it was not only a inheritance, but also a reincarnation.

Started with sweet and sour shrimp and ended with sweet and sour shrimp.

In the future, the old man will most likely not cook anymore. Even if he does, he will only show his skills when his family eats.

As for outsiders, they probably won't be able to taste his craft in the future.

This is actually quite good. I have worked hard and been busy all my life in the kitchen.

Now is the time to rest.

Recently, Xu Zhuo is busy participating in various business activities to earn money, and has no time to cook at all. It has been a long time since he devoted himself to learning, so he easily got the recipe of sweet and sour shrimp.

After getting the dish, the old man smiled and said to him: "Xiao Zhuo, I will leave this house to you from now on.

During the Chinese New Year, your grandma handed over all the financial affairs of the family to your mother. Your father doesn't like to worry about it. Managing Xu's restaurant is already his limit.

So in other respects, you have to worry more.

May I? "

Xu Zhuo froze for a moment, then thought, did this make him the head of the family?

However, he immediately thought that the family's financial power was in the hands of his mother, and that he, the head of the family, was more of a facade because of his fame.

As for the investment at home, I can only give a reference opinion at most.

The specific direction and industrial planning are still decided by Chen Guifang.

In the past, when the old lady was in charge of the family's financial power, the direction of investment was relatively conservative, and she hardly participated in other directions except buying a house.

Now that Chen Guifang is in charge, she immediately changed direction.

There used to be seven or eight houses in the provincial capital, but now they are all mortgaged by Chen Guifang for loans.

In this way, not only can Xu Zhuo obtain the working capital that Xu Zhuo will need in the future, but also ensure that the fixed assets of the family remain unchanged.

Even Xu Zhuo's unused cash can be used by Chen Guifang for other investments.

These days, if you want to make your business bigger and stronger, you must get a loan.

Chen Guifang's operation is very common, and it is also the common choice of businessmen.

As soon as the old man finished speaking, a system notification sounded in Xu Zhuo's mind.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden task - pass on the torch, get all the recipes and techniques of Shandong cuisine, and the dishes you have already obtained will automatically be upgraded to one level."

This notification sounds ordinary, but in fact, it gave Xu Zhuo something beyond all the rewards of the mission.

The entire Shandong cuisine has a lot of skills, and there are innovative dishes appearing every day. Although it is impossible for Xu Zhuo to cook all these dishes, after mastering these skills, it will become more handy to cook in the future .

Well, at least I won't worry about not doing it or worry about overturning.

This reward has made Xu Zhuo's cooking skills soar again, but he has no time to cook, and it is very rare to be able to take one or two days a week to shoot food videos.

As for cooking in the back kitchen, don't even think about it.

He had no time at all.

The chef industry is like this. When you have no money, you will work hard to cook to make yourself rich. When you have money, you have no time to cook.

Of course, if there is no debt pressure, Xu Zhuo would not mind being an ordinary chef in the back kitchen of Sifang Restaurant.

But he still has to pay off the bills, find a way to save money to open a branch, and make plans for his future children.

So at this time, you have to work hard to make more money.

Although cooking in the back kitchen can also make money, relatively speaking, the income is too little, and it is a bit unrealistic to make money by cooking.

The taste of the sweet and sour shrimp was not outstanding, but because Xu Zhuo got the inheritance from the old man, this dish became very delicious.

Well, at least in Xu Zhuo's opinion, the taste of this dish is really good. The fried crispy skin is covered with sweet and sour sauce, which makes the shrimp inside more tender, and it tastes very satisfying feel.

When May came, Xu Zhuo took all the working capital in Sifang Restaurant and the company's account, plus the funds prepared by Chen Guifang and Yu Changjiang, and finally got 5 million in cash.

In fact, it was still close to the end, but Xu Zhuo took a few endorsements, which smoothed the gap.

After paying Shao Junru's arrears, the courtyard house officially became the property under Xu Zhuo's name.

Siheyuan plus Sifang Restaurant plus companies, food factories and other miscellaneous industries, Xu Zhuo's net worth is more than one billion at least.

But what's the use of it?

He still has to work hard to make money.

And compared to the past, he has become busier now, with a full schedule every day, attending commercial events, conducting live promotions, and sometimes even participating in food programs hosted by some TV stations.

Anyway, as long as he has money to take, he will basically not refuse.

While Xu Zhuo was busy making money, the friends around him were also busy with their own affairs.

Li Hao and Sun Panpan held their wedding ceremony, Zhou Wen married Yuan Kang, and Guo Xingwang walked into the wedding hall with Dou Yiqiong, who was rich and multi-millionaire.

In addition, Xu Zhuo also received wedding invitations from Zhao Guangming and Guo Shanshan.

"I hope all my friends are getting better and better, and I also hope that I can complete the tasks given by the system as soon as possible, and then rest happily for a few years."

Xu Zhuo took the invitation and whispered something to Yu Keke, and then started planning to open a branch in Shanghai.

The funds are almost in place and the location has been selected.

Like Sifang Restaurant, the new store in Shanghai is also opened in the form of purchasing real estate.

This is the tradition of the Xu family, and it is also a way of investment.

Yu Keke, who was sitting next to Xu Zhuo, was clutching her slightly protruding belly, looking forward to the arrival of the next generation of the Xu family.

She touched Xu Zhuo and asked softly, "When our child grows up, what kind of person do you want him to be?"

Xu Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Anything is fine, just do whatever you want."

Yu Keke was stunned for a moment: "Then what if he is lazy and only stays at home and plays games?"

Xu Zhuo smiled: "Then I'll give him all the games in my collection!"

(End of the book)

Finish this testimonial

Today, the book "Gourmet Begins with Kneading Noodles" is officially finished.

First of all, I would like to say sorry to the readers, the update is getting more and more delayed, the promised explosive update has not been realized, I am sorry for the support of the genuine readers.

In fact, this book can continue to be written, but if it continues to be written, it will be a pure water recipe.

Besides, Xu Zhuo is worth more than one billion yuan, so it's unrealistic to ask him to cook, so let's stop here.

Most of the dishes written in the book have been tried and made by myself, especially the first half of the dishes. I have basically cooked and eaten them myself. The methods in the book are all true and effective. If you want to try If you are cooking, you might as well be a reference.

While writing this book, I discovered a bug in myself.

When writing dishes that I know how to cook and eat, I feel more confident and feel more confident, so I can write faster.

But when I write about the dishes I haven’t eaten, I feel somewhat unconfident in writing.

I searched all kinds of information, and even searched related questions on Zhihu, for fear that I would write something wrong.

Before writing the testimonial, I actually conceived a lot, and even wanted to be sensational at the end, but when I started writing it, it was a bit dull.

I feel that encounters in life are just encounters by chance.

No need to talk about those useless things.

I am a storyteller, and everyone listens to stories, that's all.

The new book has been conceived for a long time, and I have always planned to write about our bear boy, but after writing a lot of beginnings, I found that I can't control the pet article.

It might be fine to write short and long stories with hundreds of thousands of words, but if there are too many words, it will be out of control.

So I decided to change the type.

Specifically, let's wait until the new book is uploaded.

I will upload a preview of the new book at that time, please don't cancel your collection.

Thanks again for your support of this book.

See you in the next book!
