Food starts with noodles

Help Yao Meixiang reminisce about her youth, reminisce about the past and that's it, I can't ask for too much.

Besides, at the birthday party, it's not good to make it too sensational and make people cry with snot and tears.

So Xu Zhuo's tone was very clear at the beginning, to help Yao Meixiang reminisce about her youth and make her hopeful for life again. As for other aspects, he really didn't dare to ask for them.

Besides, although Zhou Wen and the others are well-equipped, they are just a group of movie lovers after all, and they really can't do it if they ask too much.

While looking at the screenshot posted by Zhou Wen in the group, Yao Meixiang suddenly walked out of the bedroom.

She changed into home clothes, but they should be newly bought today, because they are very young regardless of the style or color.

"Ah, the godmother is so beautiful!"

"That's right, Aunt Yao is so beautiful. I said this color suits Aunt Yao. Look, it matches Aunt Yao's temperament."

The two girls chatted with each other, and they were a little embarrassed to say Yao Meixiang.

"I'm an old woman, and I wear such bright clothes, like a clown in a circus..."

Yu Keke was not happy when she heard it: "How is it possible? The godmother is the most beautiful in this outfit. If the godfather sees it, his eyes will fly out."

Yao Meixiang looked in the mirror in doubt before walking into the kitchen.

As soon as he entered, Xu Zhuo boasted, "Once the hair is dyed and the clothes are changed, at least ten years younger."

Yao Meixiang washed her hands and started to pack.

Although she is average in buns, she is much better than Li Hao and Yu Keke, two laymen.

Soup dumplings are very particular. After the stuffing is put on the skin of the steamed stuffed bun, the pleats start to be pinched along one side.Only those who can pinch more than [-] pleats are qualified.

Some pastry chefs can make more than 30 pleats, and each pleat does not overlap, just like a work of art.

But eating at home is not so much about it.

Basically, you can pinch it tightly, as long as it doesn't break the skin, it doesn't matter how you pinch it.

While it was being wrapped, Li Hao walked in with a big box: "I bought the pot, a six-story steamer, I can try it later, and the people in the supermarket say that if there is a leak, I can replace it for free."

Yao Meixiang felt that the buns she made were not as good-looking as Xu Zhuo's, so she took the initiative to stop and started cleaning the pot that Li Hao bought, and not only had to clean the pot, but also the few pieces of silicone cage cloth.

"When we eat soup dumplings in Guanzhong, we like to spread a lotus leaf in the cage, so that the steamed buns have a faint fragrance of lotus leaves, and the lotus leaves are not sticky at all, and they will fall off when you take them lightly. come down."

Li Hao had nothing to do, so he gathered in the kitchen to watch Xu Zhuo make buns.

For a foodie, it is really a pleasure to appreciate the process of making delicious food.

Especially these delicacies will be eaten in a while, the more he thinks about it, the more greedy he becomes.

Xu Zhuo has also heard of using lotus leaves to make cage cloth, but it is not very common in the Central Plains.

Places selling steamed buns in the Central Plains generally use a layer of wicker-woven cage cloth, or cage mat, which is placed in the cage drawer, so that the steamed buns will not stick.

After the pan is cleaned, it starts to be steamed.

Fortunately, Yao Meixiang's hood is an old-fashioned one, which is relatively high, and there is no pressure to put it on the six-layer cage.

If you use that kind of inclined-plane hood, it would be good if you can use three layers of the six-layer cage.

After adding water to the pot, cover the first layer of cage drawer and cage cloth.

Then Yao Meixiang carefully put the buns on it.

When one layer is full, add a cage, spread a piece of silicone cage cloth, and continue to place buns.

Repeatedly like this, after the cages on the sixth floor were full, Yao Meixiang turned on the gas stove and started steaming.

It is indeed beneficial to have more layers. Xu Zhuo made the steamed buns for about an hour, but he actually steamed them in one pot, and there were even a few empty seats left.

Next, Xu Zhuo didn't continue to wrap the wontons, but took another pot and put it on the Lingyi stove, and started to cook the wontons.

Add water to the pot, and while waiting for the cooking process, Xu Zhuo soaked some seaweed and shrimp skin, which will be used to make wonton soup later.

In addition, he soaked some fungus, cut an onion, and made onion fungus when eating later. Eating buns or wontons alone is too easy to get tired, so there must be a side dish.

In addition, the leftover skin jelly and chicken feet are also indispensable at noon.

Everything is ready, and the steamer is starting to steam at this moment, Xu Zhuo checked the time, there are too many buns in this pot, it is estimated that it will take more than 10 minutes to steam.

When bubbles came out of the wonton pot, Xu Zhuo estimated the temperature, and it was estimated to be [-] degrees.

He took out several bags of wontons and poured them into the pot.

When cooking frozen wontons or frozen dumplings, it is best not to wait for the water to boil before cooking, as this will easily cause the skin to break.

When the hard-frozen outer skin encounters tumbling hot water, the outer skin will be scalded in an instant. In the next tumbling, due to constant mutual friction, the outer skin will inevitably break open.

So put it into the pot in advance, and when the water boils, the wontons are almost cooked, so as to avoid the situation that the wonton skin will be broken due to the boiling of the water.

After the wontons were put into the pot, Xu Zhuo took a spoon and pushed the bottom of the pot twice to prevent the wontons from sticking to the bottom. Then he covered the pot and waited for the water to boil before coming out of the pot.

Taking advantage of the time being free, Xu Zhuo washed another handful of parsley.

Except for Yao Meixiang who wanted to eat Chaoshou in red oil, everyone else ate wontons in sour soup.

In the living room, Yao Meixiang began to explain the benefits of eating more peppers to several people.

"Our Red Oil Chaoshou is the best way to eat wontons. Your sour soup is not tasty and tasteless, but Red Oil Chaoshou is more enjoyable to eat."

"I'm over 50 this year, and I don't have spots on my face. I eat chili peppers. Both Xu Zhuo and Li Hao are men. They don't care about looks, but you two should pay attention. After all, this is a face-seeking person." society……"

In Yao Meixiang's eyes, chili can cure all intractable diseases.

But let her talk like crazy, Yu Keke and Sun Panpan will not be fooled again.

Especially Yu Keke, the scene of Sun Panpan's mouth swollen from eating was still vivid in her memory last time, but she didn't dare to try.

However, Xu Zhuo's fried chili can be tasted, after all, it is the male god's brand chili oil, even if the mouth is swollen, it is also the male god's own swollen...

Chapter 203 Whoa, Lick the Dog!

When the steaming wontons came out, it was almost time for the buns in the steamer.

Four bowls of wontons in sour soup and one bowl of chashou wontons in red oil.

In fact, Chaoshou in red oil is easier to make than wontons in sour soup. Add some seasonings to the cooked wontons, pour red oil on it, and then scoop a little wonton soup from the pot into it, it is Chaoshou in red oil.

However, compared to the sour soup wontons with seaweed, dried shrimps and coriander, there are more ways to cook red oil.

It doesn’t matter if you have more soup or less soup, if you want to eat green vegetables, you can add them by boiling them.

The more homely the food, the more flexible and diverse the recipe.

This is why people in the Sichuan-Chongqing area like red oil Chaoshou. The soup and food are all available, simple but extraordinarily rich.

After bringing out the wontons, Xu Zhuo walked into the kitchen with Li Hao, turned off the heat of the steamer first, and kept stuffy for another 2 minutes.

Then he lifted the lid of the pot and took a look at the buns, the buns in the drawer were translucent, even the soup juice could be seen clearly, Xu Zhuo's appetite was whetted by seeing it like this.

Due to the heat, the buns were all rounded, but none of the buns were broken.

Xu Zhuo took down the top drawer and handed it to Li Hao, asking him to take it out to eat first, then Xu Zhuo took down all the remaining cages, and after checking that there was nothing wrong, Xu Zhuo put the three cages of steamed stuffed buns on the table. Warm it in a steamer to avoid losing its umami taste when it gets cold.

The remaining two cages are taken out, and after eating, they will come to the kitchen to bring the remaining few cages.

And after eating later, if it's not enough, Xu Zhuo can continue to pack in the vacated baskets.

He is not very interested in soup dumplings, and he is not very hungry today, so he thinks he can have at most one basket.

Pour some vinegar into the small dish, then pour a spoonful of chili oil on it, and the dipping sauce for the soup dumpling is ready.

Xu Zhuo picked up a soup bag and put it in a small plate, let it dry for a while, then picked it up and took a light bite, a delicious hot flow poured into his mouth.

Coupled with the hot and sour taste on the bun skin, it is simply a great enjoyment.

After eating these into his mouth, Xu Zhuo sucked hard, and the soup in the bun was perfectly sucked into his stomach.

This delicious taste is really memorable.

After drinking the soup, dip the buns in a small dish to let the hot and sour vinegar water enter the inside of the buns.

Eating it in this way, it tastes sour, hot and delicious, full of fragrance, and paired with the glutinous bun skin, even those who have no appetite will increase their appetite greatly, and will take the initiative to pick up a bun if they don't listen to their hands with chopsticks.

"This taste is really delicious, absolutely amazing, it's the first time I've eaten such a delicious soup dumpling at this age..."

While eating, Li Hao praised Xu Zhuobao's soup dumplings for being delicious.

Xu Zhuo smiled helplessly: "Don't boast so much, it's just home-cooked, and it can't compare to Bianliang's steamed stuffed bun, let alone Yangzhou's soup dumpling."

Just as he was talking, Xu Zhuo noticed that Yu Keke was actually eating soup dumplings according to the way Yangzhou people eat soup dumplings.

She took out a straw from the boxed milk tea that Sun Panpan bought, inserted it into the steamed bun, drank the soup inside, and then poured some vinegar into it.

This way of eating made Xu Zhuo speechless for a while.

"This is not a crab roe bun. Why are you so particular about it?"

Yu Keke finished eating a bun, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and put another bun on her plate.

"This is the bun you made. No crab roe bun can compare to it. When I was young, I ate crab roe buns every day. Every morning, my grandma took me to drink morning tea and eat crab roe buns. I really had enough..."

Xu Zhuo asked curiously, "Are there no crab roe buns on the first floor? Why do you want to eat at a teahouse?"

Yu Keke poked the straw into the steamed stuffed bun, drank the soup inside, and then said, "My grandma is trying to make it lively. The first floor doesn't serve morning tea. Although there are crab roe buns, she doesn't think it's lively."

"She likes the gossips of the parents the most. I think my gossip is influenced by my grandma..."

Ouch, this old lady is similar to my old lady.

But Yu Keke's grandma likes to join in the excitement of morning tea, while the old lady of Xu's family likes to play mahjong. Any parent's short-lived ethics and sadness can be heard at the poker table.

Much better than listening to the radio and watching TV.

If Xu Zhuo didn't get a cage, it would be over.

He poured the soup in the plate into the wonton soup, stirred it twice, and ate the soup with water.

Yu Keke was taken aback by seeing this way of eating: "How do you eat this?"

Xu Zhuo smiled: "When I was in junior high school and high school, every time I studied by myself at night, I would eat a basket of steamed stuffed buns and drink a bowl of wontons at the school gate. I would go home warm and sleep fast."

"This is how Jianguo and I ate buns at the time. We eat the buns first, and then pour the soup into the wontons to eat, so that there is no waste at all, and the taste is also good."

When he said this, Yu Keke also became interested. In order to make the soup taste better, she deliberately bit open a bun and poured the broth into the vinegar water.

Then mix it with chili oil and pour it into the sour soup of wontons, the taste immediately becomes different.

It is not clear how it is different from cocoa.

Anyway, she felt that the distance with Xu Zhuo seemed to be a little closer.

"Hey, lick the dog!"

Sun Panpan couldn't understand Ke Ke's style of learning what Xu Zhuo did without hesitation.

She was just about to taunt Yu Keke a few more words, when she suddenly noticed that Li Hao was also pouring the steamed bun soup into the wontons.

"Li Hao, the rich woman learned from the handsome boss because she is a couple. What are you doing here? Are you thinking about the handsome boss, or Jianguo brother?"

Li Hao ate on his own, turning a deaf ear to Sun Panpan's words.

When he is not full, Li Hao usually doesn't talk much, because it is not worthwhile to delay eating if he talks.

Xu Zhuo was the first to eat. He looked at Li Hao and asked, "There are still two cages left, is there enough to eat? If not, I'll pack some more."

Li Hao was munching on wontons, and said vaguely: "It's almost enough, I'll tell you later when it's not enough."

After the conversation between the two, Yu Keke and Sun Panpan looked at each other.

They both saw shock in each other's eyes.

When I went shopping today, didn't these two guys do something secretly at home?

Otherwise, why did Xu Zhuo specifically ask Li Hao when he was full and didn't ask anyone?

Such sudden concern is very uncomfortable.

When Xu Zhuo took the mobile phone and went to play with it on the sofa, Yu Keke asked Sun Panpan in a low voice: "What do you think, is it Li Hao who cheated on me, or the handsome boss who cheated on you?"

Before she could think about it, Xu Zhuo grabbed a peanut from the dried fruit tray on the coffee table and threw it on the girl's head.

"Eat well, can such delicious buns not occupy your mouth? Hurry up and go out with me after eating. My parents are coming tomorrow, so I have to buy some clothes..."
