Food starts with noodles

This will virtually cause losses to the restaurant.

After Yao Meixiang finished speaking, she finally said to Xu Zhuo, "Son, every trade and profession has its own background and knowledge, so don't take things too simply."

"Of course, there's no need to think so complicated. If the food you cook is really delicious, then even if the service is poor and the environment is poor, it's not a big problem."

"In the final analysis, the catering industry is to satisfy the appetite of customers."

"Other factors can only serve as icing on the cake, but they can't help."

Xu Zhuo nodded: "What Godmother said is, I will pay more attention in the future."

Yu Keke quickly took over the words: "What's the use of paying attention, the godmother is so experienced, why don't you just hire the godmother to be the general manager of your restaurant."

"Just let the godmother go to the Central Plains to take a look and feel the difference from Sichuan and Sichuan."

This girl is really smart, and directly brought the topic to the purpose of their trip.

But Yao Meixiang will not be fooled: "You are a ghostly girl, but unfortunately it is useless. I have never planned to leave Rongcheng in my life, nor do I want to leave Rongcheng, so don't bother..."

While speaking, dishes were served on the table one after another.

The chef's home cooking skills are really good, and the dishes Yao Meixiang ordered are all very delicious.

Every dish has a taste, which makes people appetite.

And not only that, but also completely changed the inherent impression of several people that Sichuan cuisine is all spicy.

It turns out that non-spicy dishes in Sichuan cuisine are so delicious, which is an eye-opener.

After eating and drinking, Li Hao took the wallet and paid the bill first. He just ate a pot of rice and took away all the dishes. He was in a very good mood and even said that he would come over to eat tomorrow.

The store owner looked at half of the rice in the pot, and was a little dumbfounded: "You son, you just have to have an appetite."

After leaving the restaurant, Sun Panpan wanted to go to Taikoo Li to take pictures of the night scene, and Yu Keke wanted to buy snacks, so Xu Zhuo and Li Hao finally followed.

Yao Meixiang went home first, and continued to tidy up the room where Xu Zhuo and the others were going to live. By the way, she called those regular customers and asked them to come and buy kimchi as soon as possible. If they came late, they would not be able to catch up.

In a short time, the street will be renovated in an antique style, and the house and its yard can be sold or rented out. Anyway, there is no way to buy pickles.

Because the profit of kimchi is too small, it is not suitable to be sold in Antique Street, so Yao Meixiang plans to deal with the kimchi in the yard first, and start making again after finding a suitable place.

Anyway, as long as there is old soup, it is very easy to make kimchi.

"Boss Xu, what shall we have for dinner tomorrow?"

Sitting in the taxi, Li Hao asked Xu Zhuo what he would eat tomorrow while rubbing his stomach.

For foodies, no matter what the time is, as long as they talk about food, they will definitely refresh themselves.

Xu Zhuo said: "Tomorrow, we will eat steamed food. In the afternoon, Uncle Zhang went to get kimchi from the godmother, and invited us to try his cooking."

"Ganniang said that Uncle Zhang's Steamed Pork and Salted Pork are excellent, and they taste very good. It happens that Uncle Zhang's store is holding an event. I plan to go over and try it, and see if I can go to the back kitchen to learn."

He already planned to go to that Uncle Zhang to learn steamed products after half a month.

Now let's say it in advance to warm up, so as not to scare them by saying it suddenly.

Even if he went to other people's back kitchen to observe it for half a month, even if he could make it, others would only think that his talent was good, and he would definitely not doubt it in other aspects.

Several people wandered around Taikoo Li until around ten o'clock before returning to the hotel.

This morning Li Hao renewed the room fee, so he can only live in Yao Meixiang's house tomorrow, and the room that has just been cleaned is not suitable for direct occupancy.

After one night, Xu Zhuo was still the first to get up, then packed his things, woke up Li Hao and the two maids, went downstairs with the luggage, checked out and went to Yao Meixiang's house.

When Xu Zhuo came to Yao Meixiang's house, as soon as Xu Zhuo put down his backpack, Yao Meixiang said, "Boy, let's make some breakfast. Customers who buy kimchi will come to the door later, so I don't have time to go out to eat."

Xu Zhuo nodded: "Okay, I'll do it now."

Yu Keke cheered: "Finally, I can eat the food cooked by the handsome boss again. Wait a minute, I'll get the DV, and I'll shoot it and post a video later, so that those fans won't get unfollowed."

Xu Zhuo did not object to this proposal.

It's really time to make a video, otherwise the popularity that has been gathered with great difficulty may be scattered again.

But what to do?

Xu Zhuo was a little embarrassed by this question.

He made tomato and egg noodles yesterday, and today he wants to change the taste.

But with so many types of noodles, he couldn't think of what to do for a while.

Li Hao took the snacks he bought last night and asked Xu Zhuo while eating, "Boss Xu, what are you going to do today? I'm so hungry right now that my chest is on my back."

"If you need a long time, I'll go to the canteen at the street corner to buy two buckets of instant noodles."

"Panpan, do you two eat it or not? You can eat it according to the taste you want to eat. Anyway, I want to eat Laotan sauerkraut noodles. It must be very refreshing to eat hot and sour..."

After he reminded him, Xu Zhuo was happy: "Don't buy it, let's make Laotan sauerkraut noodles today, the noodles will be ready soon, sauerkraut is also ready-made, and the method is not troublesome."

When Li Hao heard this, he immediately swallowed his saliva: "Oh my god, I'm drooling. Boss Xu, stop talking and do it quickly. I'll go get sauerkraut."

Xu Zhuo went back to the room and started making noodles. After making noodles, he dug out a piece of pork belly from the refrigerator while waiting for the noodles to wake up.

He took a kitchen knife and finely chopped the minced meat. He would add it to the sauerkraut later, and the taste should be even better.

After cutting the minced meat, Li Hao had picked out the sauerkraut and cleaned it.

The sauerkraut eaten by Sichuan people is usually pickled with big green vegetables or mustard greens. This kind of sauerkraut can not only serve with porridge, but also an essential raw material for making pickled cabbage fish.

Chop the sauerkraut, and squeeze out the water in the sauerkraut vigorously, so as to reduce the sour taste in the dish as much as possible.

After finishing these tasks, Xu Zhuo started to stir-fry the ingredients.

Chapter 168 Don't just eat, just talk

Laotan sauerkraut noodles are very homely noodles, and there are many ways to make them.

Wash the pot, put it on the stove, and heat it directly without pouring oil.

Then pour the chopped sauerkraut in and start frying.

The purpose of this is to fry out the moisture in the sauerkraut and force out the fresh flavor of the sauerkraut.

When stir-frying, keep turning to prevent sauerkraut from becoming mushy.

Wait until the sauerkraut is fried and dry.

After cleaning the pot, turn on the fire again, pour in cooking oil, and when the oil is hot, pour in the minced meat and stir-fry.

When the fat is fried, pour the fried sauerkraut, let the sauerkraut absorb the fat in the pot as much as possible, and then add soy sauce, soy sauce, salt and pepper to taste.

Then pour in water and bring to a boil.

After sauerkraut is fried, the soup will become golden, and the so-called golden soup of pickled fish is made from this source.

After it was boiled, Xu Zhuo tasted it, added some oyster sauce, sprinkled some chopped green onion, then turned off the heat and set it aside for later use.

Then, he filled the soup pot with water and put it on the stove to start boiling.

At the same time, take out the wake-up dough and start making hand-rolled noodles.

After the noodles are ready, the water in the pot is also boiled.

Xu Zhuo put the noodles in, threw in a handful of vegetables when it was almost cooked, and then took them out.

Run cold water first, then put them into bowls, pour the sauerkraut minced meat stew on it, and a bowl of steaming Laotan sauerkraut noodles is ready.

This kind of family practice is very simple. You can also directly fry the minced meat and sauerkraut into dried sausages, and then eat it with cooked noodles.

It’s a common practice, it doesn’t matter whether it’s authentic or not, as long as it’s delicious.

At this moment, customers have come to pick out kimchi one after another. Yao Meixiang happily took the Laotan sauerkraut noodles that Xu Zhuo sent her, and showed off while eating.

"Oh, this noodle is so delicious, it's really my godson who made it, it's delicious!"

In the room, Sun Panpan pointed the DV camera at Li Hao, and took pictures of him eating Laotan sauerkraut noodles.

Xu Zhuo had already filmed the steps that Xu Zhuo did just now. Because the kitchen was too small, some details were not clearly filmed, so she decided to let Brother Big Stomach appear again, so as not to make the video too short to dissatisfy the fans.

The practice is not enough, eat and broadcast to make up.

This has become an industry practice.

Li Hao found a small basin, and put all the remaining noodles and sauerkraut minced meat into it.

Now he is holding a small basin, eating very much.

When he appeared on the scene before, he said a few swear words more or less.

But today he was really hungry, he didn't say a word, he didn't even look at the camera, he just grabbed the bowl and started eating.

Yu Keke reminded him next to him: "Don't focus on eating, talk about words."

Li Hao didn't raise his head: "Don't say it, next time, I'm starving to death..."

The Laotan sauerkraut noodles made by Xu Zhuo are really delicious. His hand-rolled noodles are high-grade, and the sauerkraut noodles made by Yao Meixiang are also very good. When fried with minced meat, the taste is definitely not bad.

And when eating, add two spoonfuls of chili sauce that Yao Meixiang made herself, the sour and spicy taste is so delicious, it can make people forget everything.

After eating the noodles, drink the sauerkraut soup. The hot and sour soup can make people sweat. In this sultry morning, people are instantly transparent and refreshed.

After eating and drinking enough, Xu Zhuo washed the dishes and chopsticks, and helped Yao Meixiang sell kimchi together with Li Hao.

And Yu Keke, together with Sun Panpan, began to edit the video.

At noon, a group of people came to Uncle Zhang's restaurant.

This is a restaurant with two floors. The area is not very large, but it has a strong atmosphere of the times. In addition, there is a park next to it with lush green plants, which makes people sitting on the second floor feel better.

"Old Zhang, I brought my godson to dinner today, show off your housekeeping skills, and let my godson taste your craftsmanship."

Uncle Zhang came out of the kitchen and said with a smile, "What you want is what you want. Sichuan people are very hospitable. My eldest nephew came to Rongcheng, so he must be treated well."

"Boy, I can't compare with your godfather in other things, but when it comes to making steamed products, Lao Wei can only be a younger brother in front of me."

Yao Meixiang gave him a blank look: "Go ahead, you've blown your mind to the sky. Let me tell you, my godson's grandfather is the chef of the state banquet, so don't show off your culinary skills in front of him."

Hearing this, Uncle Zhang was surprised and said, "No wonder Lao Wei's craftsmanship is so good. His master is the chef of the state banquet. There is no comparison."

After finishing speaking, he was just about to go to work in the kitchen when Xu Zhuo asked suddenly: "Uncle Zhang, can I go to the back kitchen to watch you make steamed pork with flour and salty roasted white? Or other steamed dishes are also fine."

When Uncle Zhang heard this, his expression was a bit perplexed.

"Boy, you came too late. I make the whole day's amount in the morning, put it in the steamer to warm it, and serve it immediately when someone orders it."

"If you want to learn, come to the store tomorrow morning, and I can teach you."

"Actually, there is nothing easy to learn about steaming dishes. As long as you do a lot of cooking, you will naturally gain experience, and the steamed dishes will taste delicious."

"Practice makes perfect. If your godfather steams so much meat every day, within half a year, he will be able to leave me far behind."

"Old Wei is much more talented in cooking than I am. When he came to Rongcheng, he didn't know anything about Sichuan cuisine. Then he learned it from scratch, traveled to many places in Sichuan, and finally mastered it and became a master of Sichuan cuisine."

"He has a good foundation and can learn everything quickly. It's not like our family-inherited craft, which relies on the stupid way of accumulating experience..."

After speaking, he sighed and went back to the kitchen to continue his work.

Only then did Yao Meixiang say to Xu Zhuo: "Next time you want to learn other people's crafts, tell me first. If you can't open your mouth, you have to learn. This is too rude. You have to talk to them in advance."

"But we are old friends with Lao Zhang, he doesn't care about so much, but others can't do it, they will say you don't deserve education."

Xu Zhuo nodded, he was indeed too reckless just now.

But Uncle Zhang agreed to him, which made Xu Zhuo overjoyed.

Yao Meixiang said: "Old Zhang has been thinking about the can of wild pepper in my house for a long time. When you come tomorrow morning, bring it here as a gift for your meeting."

"Follow him and study hard, be modest, this old bastard has a lot of skills in his belly, it depends on whether you can learn it..."

Boss Xu murmured inwardly, it is not difficult to learn the hand, the main reason is that the cooldown period of that skill is too long, otherwise this Uncle Zhang can learn all the skills.

Soon, Uncle Zhang brought some steamed products.

Salty roasted white, sweet roasted white, steamed meat with flour, steamed chicken nuggets with flour, steamed pork ribs with black bean sauce...

When these various steamed products were placed on the table, Xu Zhuo was a little bit tongue-tied.

Is this going to be a whole steamed feast?

Wouldn't it be a bit greasy to eat only steamed products?
