Food starts with noodles

He is different from Xu Wenhai. Xu Wenhai is not very interested in areas that he is not good at, such as making stewed meat. Xu Wenhai has never touched a stewed meat pot since he found out that he has no talent in making stewed meat.

The stewed meat in Xu's restaurant is now all made by one of the old man's apprentices. In order to prevent being poached, the stewed meat chef enjoys the treatment of the head chef and has a detached status.

The reason why the old man was so excited after Xu Zhuo made the goat's trotters was because he found that his skill of making stewed meat could finally be passed on to his own people.

Although the apprentice is not bad, he is an outsider no matter what. If other hotels promise high salaries, he might really change jobs.

At that time, the loss will be small, but there is no stewed meat in the store as a signboard. This is an act of smashing the signboard, and it will be a fatal blow to the reputation of Xujia Restaurant.

So the old man hastily launched the sheep's trotters in the restaurant, in order to let his apprentices know that his grandson's stewed pork is no worse than theirs.

Otherwise, when Xu Zhuo went to the provincial capital, would he drag Xu Zhuo with great fanfare to explain the method of sheep's feet to the chef in the shop?

Hotels in modern society are all business management models, which are similar to the business model of master leading apprentices, which has been shaken to pieces by the market.

Everyone knows that money is good, why should I work so hard to earn money for you, and I am as poor as a poor haha?

And Wei Junming is a real culinary idiot, as long as he has the opportunity to learn and observe, he will never let it go.

In terms of talent, he is not as good as Xu Wenhai, but in terms of diligence, Wei Junming can beat Xu Wenhai by eight blocks.

Of course, Xu Wenhai is not Qin Fen, but Chen Guifang likes traveling too much, and he loves his wife very much, so it is only normal for him to put down his work and go traveling.

Wei Junming has actually seen Xu Zhuo's stewed sheep's hooves many times.

But every time he reads it, he has new gains and experiences, and strives to not only "know what it is" but also "know why it is so".

In this way, Wei Junming and Cao Kun stayed in the stuffy kitchen and watched Xu Zhuo make stewed meat, carefully observing every detail. In some links, the master and apprentice even started discussions, discussing each other according to their own understanding of stewed meat .

Xu Zhuo couldn't get in the way in this regard, because of the skill blessing, he knew the method of Yotei, but when he discussed the theoretical knowledge, he was dumb.

The dog system doesn't know who copied the experience of making sheep's hooves to him. Although Xu Zhuo can make delicious sheep's hooves, as for why he did this, he can't explain why.

Fortunately, at that time, he said that he found the information randomly from the Internet, otherwise he would go crazy if several people really wanted to ask about the steps of the sheep's feet.

After cooking, Xu Zhuo came out of the kitchen, took a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator, and walked to the living room to turn on the air conditioner while drinking.

Cao Kun and Wei Junming continued to stay in the kitchen, and they had to observe the precautions in terms of the heat, so they could not leave.

Just as Xu Zhuo was sitting on the sofa, Yu Keke thoughtfully came over to help him wipe his sweat.

This scene made Li Hao roll his eyes straight: "Sprinkling dog food in front of so many people, you two are really enough."

Meng Liwei is currently browsing the live broadcast room of station B with his mobile phone, he needs to learn how other anchors do it, so that he will not panic when he gets started.

"Xu Zhuo, I knew that I should have followed you when I graduated. I spent two years in our hometown. Although I didn't have to worry about food and drink, I was almost out of touch with society. I decided to follow you to the Central Plains this time."

Xu Zhuo smiled: "That's just right. When you become popular, help me advertise more on the platform. Later, I may sell some kimchi and other foods on the platform. It's up to you and Zhou Wen to help bring the goods."

Yao Meixiang will never be idle after returning, and Xu Zhuo still has a task about apprenticeship. After Yao Meixiang starts to learn pickles, her online shop will definitely sell pickles and kimchi together.

The early publicity must be very important, so Xu Zhuo gave Meng Liwei a vaccination right now.

In addition, Xu Zhuo also plans to make the rabbit heads into vacuum packaging and sell them online if the rabbit heads cannot be sold.

Cao Kun's excellent craftsmanship cannot be wasted, and he must be brought out as much as possible.

Xu Zhuo sat on the sofa for a while and then returned to the kitchen. A group of people were chatting live, and he couldn't get in the conversation at all.

And Yu Keke pestered him about hugging at the airport, which made Xu Zhuo and Meng Liwei even more embarrassed.

So Xu Zhuo fled back to the kitchen before finishing his coke.

Rather than being stared at by a few people, it's better to come and discuss sheep's feet with Wei Junming and his apprentice.

Soon, the goat's trotters would be ready to be cooked, so Xu turned off the fire, and then brought down the large soup pot with Cao Kun, lifted the lid and set it aside to cool.

Cao Kun fished out a dozen sheep's hooves from the inside and put them on a plate to cool.

Later, he will try to make the sheep's hooves in the way of making rabbit heads, and soak the rest in the pot, so that it is convenient and tasty.

After the fragrance spread, Li Hao quickly came over.

"It's out of the pot? Can I eat it now?"

It's been less than two hours since this guy finished the buffet, so he's hungry?

Xu Zhuo put a few on a plate and handed them to him: "Take it out and let everyone taste it. Don't eat too much. There will be more later. Brother Kun plans to make sheep's hooves in the same way as rabbit heads. Let's eat later." .”

When Li Hao heard this, he immediately became excited: "Then I'll go out and let your classmate taste it. He hasn't eaten the sheep's trotters made by you yet. I'm not in a hurry to eat it. I just finished eating not long ago. I just want to see if I can help you. ..."

As soon as he heard that there was a new dish, this guy immediately became clever.

Xu Zhuo looked at the back of Li Hao happily going to the living room with his sheep's hooves, and sighed slightly.

If he was so clever in front of Sun Panpan, would he still be scolded so many times?

Chapter 251 Li Hao's mouth is swollen again

The last step of the spicy rabbit head is not troublesome.

Cao Kun poured some red oil into the pot, heated it up, threw the sheep's feet into it, and fried the marinated sheep's feet with the red oil.

While cooking, he explained to Xu Zhuo: "Stir frying like this makes the outer skin tighter, and the taste will be better, and the spicy flavor of the red oil will penetrate into it thoroughly."

"But this is not a rabbit head. I don't know if it's delicious or not. This time I followed the last step of making a rabbit head. If it's not delicious, we'll try another method later... "

Wei Junming stood aside without saying a word. He was very interested in Xu Zhuo and Cao Kun's ideas, but it might not be very appropriate to copy the rabbit head directly.

Because the meat quality of the rabbit head is different from that of the sheep's hoof, the sheep's hoof is almost all skin, which is softer, while the meat quality of the rabbit's head is more woody, so I choose to fry it with red oil, which can maximize the spicy taste of the rabbit meat .

But when Cao Kun was doing it, Wei Junming didn't stop him.

On the contrary, he has long had the idea of ​​reprocessing the sheep's hooves.

As a chef, he has a strong obsession with innovative dishes.

After a few minutes of frying the sheep's hooves in the pan, Cao Kun poured sliced ​​ginger, chili slices and prickly ash granules into the pan, stir-fried until the aroma was released, sprinkled a little sugar in it, and then took it out of the pan.

White sugar is widely used in the kitchen. In addition to being used by dessert chefs and pastry chefs to increase sweetness, its greater role is to increase umami.

In fact, the best condiment to increase umami taste is monosodium glutamate, but with the deepening of the concept of healthy eating, more and more families no longer use monosodium glutamate.

Without MSG, it doesn’t mean that you can’t eat umami.

There are many ways and ingredients to increase freshness. The easiest way is to add some sugar, especially meat. After adding sugar, the umami taste becomes more intense.

But you can't put too much, because if you put too much, it will become the flavor of this local dish.

In addition, adding white sugar to spicy dishes can effectively neutralize the spicy taste, but the aroma remains unchanged, so many chefs habitually put some white sugar in when making spicy dishes.

In this way, the dishes smell spicy and delicious, but the spicy taste will not be unacceptable.

When the goat's trotters came out, Li Hao at the door kept sniffling: "Oh, it smells so good. Boss Xu, are you ready?"

Xu Zhuo nodded, and came out of the kitchen with the ready-made goat's hooves for everyone to taste together.

It happened that Cao Kun and Wei Junming also came to the air-conditioned room for a while and stayed in the kitchen, both of them were covered in sweat.

The spicy taste hooked everyone's gluttons, Yu Keke leaned next to Xu Zhuo, and asked in a low voice, "Is this goat's trotter too spicy?"

Xu Zhuo hadn't tried it before, so he didn't dare to promise it: "I don't know, how about I try it first, and you can eat it later, so as not to get your mouth swollen like Panpan and Li Hao..."

Yu Keke originally wanted to try a new dish, but when he heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay, okay, I'm still waiting to eat the stewed fish head, so I don't dare to make my mouth swell."

While the two were talking, Li Hao on the side had already picked up a goat's trotter, and it wasn't too hot, so he opened his mouth and took a bite, breathing while eating.

"Hot hot hot hot hot...but it tastes so good!"

Meng Liwei was gnawing on Xu Zhuo's sheep's hooves at the moment, seeing the plate of sheep's hooves full of red oil just brought out by Xu Zhuo, he asked hesitantly, "Isn't it spicy?"

Li Hao shook his head: "It's not spicy, it's not spicy at all, it just burns your mouth..."

Seeing that someone said it was good, Cao Kun wiped the sweat off his brow, pinched one as well, blew on it and took a bite: "Yes, it tastes so good..."

really delicious?

Wei Junming was a little skeptical at first, but since everyone said it was delicious, he also picked up one, and it tasted really good. He nodded: "It's really good, it tastes special."

Since everyone said it was delicious, Xu Zhuo was just about to reach out to squeeze one, when Zhou Wen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly pointed at Li Hao and said, "His mouth is swollen..."

A few people looked up, and sure enough, Li Hao's lips had obviously thickened, and with a lot of red oil on them, they looked a little enchanting...

Reluctantly, Li Hao put down the sheep's hoof, and took a look at it with the small mirror Zhou Wen handed over. It was indeed swollen.

Sun Panpan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't eat it if you think it's spicy. You're so funny..."

Li Hao went back to the room to find the ointment left over from the last time, and said while applying it: "It's really not very spicy when I first took it, but it just feels hot to the mouth."

Obviously, this experiment ended in failure.

However, these lamb hoofs with a stronger spicy taste are very popular with Yao Meixiang.

"Oh, good Bashi, this is the spicy taste, why don't you eat it? It's delicious, it's so delicious..."

Although she enthusiastically let everyone taste it, except for Cao Kun, no one touched the plate of sheep's hooves again.

Even Wei Junming only ate one and picked up the sheep's trotter made by Xu Zhuo and ate it.

Compared with the lamb's hoof full of red oil, the spicy lamb's hoof made by Xu Zhuo is more in line with most people's taste and eating habits.

"It seems that this kind of sheep's hoof is more suitable for the taste of Sichuan people. As for the Central Plains, forget it. The spicy sheep's hoof I made is already the limit they can bear. It is really not easy to innovate."

Wei Junming smiled: "How can innovative dishes be achieved overnight? You have to go through a lot of experiments and discussions. The way you two are right. This spicy lamb's foot can indeed go further, but you have to find the right way."

"All the dishes are actually a combination of techniques. When they are really disassembled, they are actually a single technique cut to the extreme, and then combined with the correct method."

"For example, Buddha jumps over the wall, which combines a single dish method with the most appropriate method."

But today is not without gains, at least Yao Meixiang is very satisfied, and she keeps telling Cao Kun to remember the good practice, so that after the Central Plains, she will cook something when she is hungry, which can be regarded as comforting thoughts.

Everyone ate a few sheep's feet, and then started to do their own business.

Meng Liwei is going to buy a mobile phone. His mobile phone is not equipped for live broadcasting, and the front camera has too low a resolution, so he plans to buy a new mobile phone, which will be more powerful for live broadcasting, and the old mobile phone can also detect data.

Zhou Wen followed when she had nothing to do, and happened to help Meng Liwei choose some live broadcast accessories such as an external sound card in the computer city.

Sun Panpan accompanied Li Hao to the clinic to see his mouth. Although he had applied ointment, Li Hao was still worried. He wanted to see the doctor again and asked the doctor how to quickly reduce the swelling.

I'm going to eat fish tonight, so I can't let the swollen mouth be delayed.

Especially the stewed fish head dish, Li Hao has been thinking about it for a long time. If he can't eat it because of his swollen mouth, it will be a real loss!

Chapter 252 The Taste of Hometown ([-])

When Meng Liwei came back, Xu Wenhai and Wei Junming were already busy cooking fish in the kitchen.

The old man was leisurely sitting in the living room watching TV, and waited for Wei Junming and Xu Wenhai to finish the fish before making the fish head.

The kitchen is too small, and I can't squeeze in if I have to cook in the past.

In addition, the old man also planned to let Yu Keke take pictures. In order not to affect the shooting effect, no one else was allowed in the kitchen when he was cooking later.

In this way, he can do it comfortably, and it is convenient for Yu Keke to shoot, and there will be no noise.

In order to pretend to be aggressive in front of Yu Peiyong, the old man has exhausted his mind.

Xu Zhuo didn't care about this, he was currently researching the new mobile phone Meng Liwei bought, the P30 Pro which claims to be able to take pictures of the moon.

"Can this thing really shoot far?"

Xu Zhuo took the phone, turned on the camera, and adjusted the zoom.

The shot was really far away, and he could even see a fly lying on the wall of the yard.

Yu Keke was cleaning up the files in the DV, and glanced at the phone in Xu Zhuo's hand: "If you like it, I'll buy one for you later... No, let's buy two, it's just right for a couple."

Xu Zhuo smiled: "Let's take a photo of the moon tonight and try it out. If it works, we'll buy it. Anyway, I should change my mobile phone. Why don't I just buy this mobile phone."

This mobile phone is not cheap, 4998 on the official website, it is estimated that it will be more expensive in physical stores.

The mobile phone plus the tripod sound card and other accessories that Zhou Wen asked Meng Liwei to buy, Xu Zhuo looked at Meng Liwei and asked curiously: "It will cost six or seven thousand, right? Are you afraid of doing live broadcast?"

Meng Liwei smiled: "Never mind him, it's okay even if it doesn't work out, just treat it as a change of mood, I have to find something for myself to do now, otherwise my mind will always be about divorce..."

Xu Zhuo nodded, that's good, at least he has something to do.
