Food starts with noodles

Yao Meixiang thinks that Wei Junming's Dongpo meat is delicious, Chen Guifang thinks that Guotao tofu is very authentic, and Yu Keke is arguing that the oily bean curd is not enough, and Sun Panpan and Zhou Wen prefer shredded yam.

The five women scrambled to express their views on those dishes, very like a culinary competition judge.

I didn't work hard when I was cooking, and I rushed to eat when I was eating. Now I'm full, if I don't say something, it's too much to justify.

Li Hao tried to talk a few times but couldn't get in, so he stopped talking and went to Xu Zhuo's side to listen to Xu Zhuo and Cao Kun's exchange of experiences and thoughts on stewed meat.

Cao Kun is best at rabbit heads, and Xu Zhuo is best at sheep's feet. The two discussed each other, but they both gained something.

The spicy rabbit head does not use as much marinade as the spicy lamb's trotter, which makes Cao Kun think that he can try the stewed soup of the spicy lamb's trotter to make the rabbit head, and he does not know how the effect will be.

After listening to Cao Kun's introduction, Xu Zhuo wondered whether the practice of adding broth when marinating rabbit heads could be used in marinating lamb's hooves.

In addition, the spicy rabbit head needs to be fried with red oil at the end to get the flavor out. If it is used on spicy lamb's feet, will the lamb's feet taste better?

Seriously think about it, this method is really feasible.

The fragrant and soft raked sheep's hooves are paired with spicy red oil, which may make the sheep's hooves go further.

"Brother Kun, after I make the goat's feet tomorrow, try frying them with red oil. Let's make the goat's feet in the same way as rabbit heads, and see if the effect can be better."

"If possible, the taste of this goat's hoof should go a step further."

Cao Kun nodded, and agreed wholeheartedly: "Okay, I wanted to try it just now when you said it, the sheep's hoof mixed with red oil, the taste should be better, but everything needs to be verified, whether it will work or not, I can't say right now .”

"Tomorrow morning, I will go to buy sheep's hooves. I will defrost them first, then soak them and clean them. In the afternoon, I will come to you with the packed sheep's hooves. This way we can save time, and maybe we can experiment twice."

Stir-frying marinated sheep's hooves with red oil is almost no one has done it before, so both of them are very clear that one or two experiments will definitely not find the perfect ratio, and they have to experiment slowly. .

This is a long process, and it may not be successful. It is very likely that after complicated experiments, it will be concluded that sheep's feet are not suitable for red oil.

But in the pursuit of ultimate deliciousness, this kind of process and failure are indispensable.

Both of them have their own unique knowledge about stewed meat, so the more they talked, the more speculative they became, and there was a tendency to meet each other and hate each other later.

Xu Zhuo is not like some chefs, because he learns from the chef every day, and has been instilled in this relatively rigid culinary thinking that one kind of dish can only be fried and that kind of dish can only be stewed, which leads to a lack of imagination in terms of food creativity.

He has never experienced systematic culinary art learning, and his understanding of cooking is relatively escaping, and new ideas are constantly popping up in his mind.

And Cao Kun has a deep understanding of stewed meat, no matter what stewed products are, he has a certain understanding. The combination of the two has discovered a lot of new ideas.

After chatting until nine o'clock in the evening, Cao Kun bid farewell and went back.

After seeing him off, Xu Wenhai said with a smile: "It seems that you get along well with your new employee."

Xu Zhuo nodded: "Once we have a common pursuit, other issues can be sorted out easily. With Cao Kun and Jianguo around, it will be easier to manage the store in the future."

After tonight's discussion, Cao Kun has completely convinced Xu Zhuo, the boss, and Xu Zhuo will teach him the method of making spicy lamb's feet after arriving in the Central Plains, which makes Cao Kun very grateful.

Although from Boss Xu's point of view, he was just doing it to be lazy.

But in Cao Kun's eyes, passing this secret recipe to himself is trust in himself.

If the boss can trust you so much, what else can you say as an employee?Naturally, I have to contribute more to the store.

The old man also heard the conversation between the two just now, and now he looked at Wei Junming and said, "Junming, you have taken in a good apprentice. This kind of apprentice is really rare and hard to find."

Cao Kun is talented in making stewed dishes, but he is not good at cooking or anything else. During the apprenticeship stage, such apprentices are easily driven away. They are not suitable for this, so don't waste the time of both parties.

But Wei Junming didn't drive him away, he just stayed by his side as a stewed dish master, finally let Xu Zhuo find a reliable helper.

When sleeping, Xu Zhuo gave up the room to the old man and chose to sleep on the sofa.

Xu Wenhai said sarcastic words from the side: "It's good to sleep on the sofa, get used to it in advance, so that the couple won't get used to sleeping after quarreling..."

Chapter 245 Is It Difficult To Dismantle The Braised Fish Head?

Xu Zhuo counterattacked without showing weakness: "Dad, with so much experience, it seems that my mother often let you sleep on the sofa before?"

Xu Wenhai was amused: "Who hasn't slept on the sofa, brother, you used to sleep on the sofa when you and your sister-in-law quarreled, right?"

Wei Junming shook his head: "No, I have never slept on the sofa."

Yao Meixiang also said: "Damn, Old Wei has never slept on the sofa, nor had he had to quarrel."

Xu Wenhai: ...

When they were chatting just now, recalling the past, Wei Junming also said that he had quarreled with Yao Meixiang and slept on the sofa for a month, but he turned around and refused to admit it.

This made Xu Wenhai a little speechless.

Why did Duanduan become so unprincipled when Xu Zhuo was involved?

Do you have to compare my godfather to my real father?

Just as he was about to say a few more words, Chen Guifang next to him couldn't help but said, "Don't act like someone who came here and talk about sleeping on the sofa. When we quarreled before, we let you sleep on the kitchen or on the sofa? You have a good idea..."

Well, Xu Wenhai stood on the opposite side again.

He expressed that he didn't want to deal with these actors, and went to the bathroom alone to brush his teeth.

Originally, Yao Meixiang thought that there were more rooms and more beds in the family, but with more and more people in the family, the house was obviously not enough.

In fact, Xu Zhuo doesn't need to sleep on the sofa, he can go and squeeze with Li Hao.

But when Xu Zhuo saw the narrow single bed in Li Hao's room, he wisely chose to sleep on the sofa.

This also made Yu Keke feel relieved.

She was really worried that something weird would happen when Xu Zhuo and Li Hao slept together.

After all, Boss Xu has a suspected "criminal record".

Although the so-called "existing conviction" was just Chen Guifang's worry that her son would follow Zhao Guangming's lead in finding a boyfriend, but Yu Keke still believed it.

She was careful to guard against all young men who approached Boss Xu.

I'm afraid that a rival of the opposite sex will suddenly appear.

After everyone washed up and went back to their rooms, Xu Zhuo kissed Ke Ke on the forehead, telling her to go back to sleep quickly.

Boss Xu didn't have a lunch break today, so he was so sleepy that he yawned.

Turning off the light, he wrapped himself in a blanket and fell asleep.

The next morning, Xu Zhuo was the first to wake up again.

He cooked a pot of millet porridge in his spare time, then went to the vegetable market to buy some leeks, made some egg leek pancakes, and made two cold dishes.

After seasoning was promoted, Xu Zhuo found that his cold dishes had improved again.

Not only is the salt more precise, but also the ratio of various seasonings is more clear. Even if you don't use skills, the cold salad is very delicious.

While making breakfast, everyone also got up one after another.

Su Panpan took Yu Keke and took the camera to take pictures of the street outside. This place is going to be remodeled soon, and it will change a lot, so I took some photos and videos and sent them to Yao Meixiang, so I can show them later.

Zhou Wen was holding a yoga mat, listening to music and doing yoga in the yard, her beautiful figure was completely exposed, and the reason why the two girls ran out to take pictures was also the same.

Staying in the yard is too hurtful to self-esteem, and there is no way for people to survive.

While Zhou Wen was doing yoga, Yao Meixiang and Chen Guifang went out for a jog in their sportswear, and the old man strolled out for a walk, taking a look at the rare ingredients that couldn't be bought in the Central Plains in the vegetable market here.

Wei Junming and Xu Wenhai went out together, not for exercising, but for taking a taxi to the riverside to see if there were any seafood sellers.

The old man planned to visit Zhang Zhengde today, and the two decided to make a fish soup for Zhang Zhengde for the old man to taste.

The whole family has their own affairs to be busy with, and only Li Hao is sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching Chaowen Tianxia while waiting for dinner.

Full of old people who live alone.

Soon, Wei Junming and Xu Wenhai came back, and they bought a black fish that weighed seven to eight catties, a grass carp that weighed about ten catties, and a fathead carp that weighed more than ten catties.

The fish were still alive, so Wei Junming found a big basin and put it in, filled it with water, and put three fish in it to raise, so that the mud and sand can also be spit out.

After the old man came back, he immediately said: "Take the grass carp to make fish paste soup today, and make some fish balls. Let the old man taste your cooking."

"At night, half of this black fish is stewed with vinegar, and the other half is made into hot fish fillets. The fat head fish is simply a fish and three meals."

"Didn't Xiao Zhuo have a classmate coming over? It just so happens that we will make it richer tonight, so that people won't say that we don't have the right way to entertain guests."

He arranged the fish clearly in a few words.

It happened that Xu Zhuo came out from the kitchen to invite everyone to eat. When he saw such a big fat fish in the basin, he immediately fell in love with it.

Yu Keke looked at Xu Zhuo and asked, "Can you make stewed fish heads? It's been a long time since I've eaten the stewed fish heads made by my grandfather. It's delicious, and there are no bones or bones. eat……"

Braised fish head is a major dish in Huaiyang cuisine. First, the fish head is simmered in a pot over a low heat until it is six or seven mature, then all the bones on the fish head are removed, and then the fish head is cooked by stewing.

It's easy to say, but difficult to actually do, because the dish is demanding, from the beginning to the end of the plate, and the whole fish head must be kept intact at all times.

Therefore, when removing the fish head, one must have sufficient understanding and understanding of the structure of the fish head.

Without a certain amount of experience, this dish is overturned at first hand.

"When you get home in a few days, let your grandpa cook it for you. No one here can cook fish head. This dish is too difficult, and..."

Xu Zhuo took Yu Keke's hand and patiently explained to her.

It is too difficult to eat fried fish head when you are cold. It is better to make fish head with chopped pepper or fish head soaked cakes honestly.

As a result, before he finished speaking, the old man interrupted abruptly: "What's more? The girl cooks as long as she wants, why wait until she goes back to eat?"

"How difficult is it to disassemble and stew fish heads together? Girl, grandpa will make disassembled and stewed fish heads for you tonight. I promise it will be better than your grandpa's..."

The old man's words made Xu Zhuo suspicious.

He exchanged glances with Xu Wenhai and Wei Junming. These two had never seen the old man cook fish heads.

Xu Zhuo was even more certain that this should be a big talk that the old man pretended to say.

We know that you and Yu Peiyong are at odds, but you can't use this as a pretense, right? If the car overturns, isn't it afraid of damaging your reputation as the chef of the state banquet?

But he didn't dare to ask this, and thought it would be better to find an opportunity to talk about Yu Keke later, so that she could change her mind.

What the old man is best at is fish head pancakes. Instead of braised fish heads, it is better to make fish head pancakes. It is more delicious to eat with vegetables and rice.

The old man looked at everyone's reactions and smiled disdainfully: "You don't believe me, do you? Then tonight I will show you how good I am at cooking Huaiyang cuisine!"

Chapter 246 Teach the Young Boss a Lesson

This expression, this tone, is very much like the pretender in the book.

But the old man has been pretending for many years, except for overturning the car when he was teaching Xu Zhuo, he seems to have never missed a hand.

Could he really do it?

Everyone ate breakfast half-believingly, and then went about their own affairs.

It was too long to go to the airport, Xu Zhuo, Li Hao and Zhou Wen were sitting in the living room playing with their mobile phones.

Yu Keke and Sun Panpan were dragged by Chen Guifang and Yao Meixiang to go shopping. By the way, they asked where they could buy rabbit heads wholesale.

Since Cao Kun was going to the Central Plains, Chen Guifang naturally had to finalize the purchase of rabbit heads.

Although rabbit heads are also sold online, they are at retail prices. If you buy them at that price, you may lose money, let alone make money.

So it is very important to choose a suitable channel.

In the Central Plains, not many people like to eat rabbit heads, and even if they do, they will eat dried rabbit meat and the like. There are very few people who buy rabbit heads for food, which makes it difficult to purchase rabbit heads.

At least on Chen Guifang's side, a new procurement channel had to be opened up.

Moreover, in case Yao Meixiang's kimchi fails to gain traction online, through this channel, kimchi can also be put into the market in Rongcheng for sale.

After they left, Wei Junming, Xu Wenhai and the old man also took a taxi to Zhang Zhengde's house.

Zhang Yuejin was not at home today, but several apprentices of Zhang Zhengde and his nephew were there, so the old man came up with the idea of ​​making fish paste soup for Zhang Zhengde.

The more chefs you have, the more you have to pretend. This is the golden rule of the old man all the time.

Of course, the old man has this level and strength. If it were Boss Xu, he would definitely not have such an idea.

Around ten o'clock, Xu Zhuo took the subway to the airport to pick up Meng Liwei. Li Hao and Zhou Wen were going there too, but they thought it was unnecessary, and finally agreed to meet at the cafeteria.

When he arrived at the airport, Xu Zhuo wandered around the reception hall for a while, and finally waited for Meng Liwei.
