Food starts with noodles

After opening the Four Noodles Restaurant, within a few years they felt that it was too small and boring, so they left the noodle restaurant to Xu Zhuo's father, who then went to the provincial capital to open a restaurant in partnership with others.

For the past ten years, the noodle shop has been run by Xu Zhuo's father.

However, when Xu Zhuo graduated from university, the partner of the restaurant in the provincial capital had an accident and withdrew his capital and left.

The old man made a decisive decision and asked Xu Zhuo's father to go to the provincial capital, and then left the noodle shop to Xu Zhuo who had just graduated from university and planned to make some achievements in the IT industry.

This takeover is two years.

During the period, the old man came back a few times to help Xu Zhuo take care of the spoon, to support the appearance, and to cultivate relationships with some old customers.

But the most important purpose of the old man is to examine Xu Zhuo's cooking skills.

As a result, Xu Zhuo, who was already somewhat passive and sabotage, couldn't get into the eyes of the old man at all.

After visiting several times in a row, I found that Xu Zhuo's craftsmanship hadn't improved much, so I gave up the idea of ​​letting Xu Zhuo pass on the craftsmanship.

But the noodle shop had to be kept open by him.

The old man said it was to exercise his xinxing.

But Xu Zhuo knew very well that this must be a disguised punishment.

Like an exiled prisoner.

However, in the past two years, he has also adapted to the feeling that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.

Earn a little money, and when you are in a bad mood, close the door and go on a trip for a few days, but your life is quite comfortable.

It's just that the good times don't last long. With the sharp decline in popularity in the old city, the business of the whole street is getting harder and harder.

The business of the noodle shop has plummeted even more.

In the past six months, Xu Zhuo has been unable to make ends meet, which made Xu Zhuo's originally comfortable life become difficult.

Li Sifu was just about to go back with his tea when he suddenly saw the signboard hung by Xu Zhuo outside.

"Bone broth stewed noodles? When did your son learn to stew noodles? If your grandpa sees it, I'm afraid he will break your dog legs. After making noodles by hand for a lifetime, your son will change to stewed noodles."

Xu Zhuo was not annoyed either, he knew that Li Sifu had a poisonous mouth, but he was not a bad person.

"This is my latest development, Lao Li, do you want to try it?"

Li Sifu shook his head, he didn't have any hope for Xu Zhuo's craftsmanship.

"No money! You can eat for free, just give me your opinion."

Li Sifu hesitated a little.

When eating in the store at noon, because Xu Zhuo hadn't come out, he was too embarrassed to really not give the money, so he took out eight yuan and put it on the table.

Now he is still distressed.

If you really don't want money, it's not bad to try.

Seeing Li Sifu's expression moved, Xu Zhuo immediately added another one.

"I'll give you another bottle of beer!"

Li Sifu looked at Xu Zhuo in surprise, and asked in confusion: "Your business is so bad, why did you suddenly say you want to treat guests? Could there be some trap?"

Xu Zhuo smiled and pulled him into the store.

"You are an old man, what trap can you fall into? Just wait and eat, I guarantee you will enjoy it."

He took a plate, put a plate of fried peanuts from the refrigerator and brought it to Li Sifu, and took out a bottle of beer from the refrigerator.

After opening it, he said, "Old Li, you drink first, I'll cook the noodles."

Li Sifu was so happy that the creases on his face stretched out.

"Oh, you are so polite, our old neighbors are embarrassing."

While speaking, Lao Li had already eaten peanuts with chopsticks.

Xu Zhuo returned to the kitchen, and quickly made a bowl of chicken bone soup stewed noodles with all the flavors.

After bringing it out, Li Sifu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xu Zhuo with some doubts: "You really did this?"

Xu Zhuo nodded: "Try how it tastes. If it's delicious, help me promote it. You know the most people on this street."

Actually, that's why Xu Zhuo invited Li Sifu to dinner.

He is famous for his big mouth, he speaks clearly and clearly about all kinds of gossip, anecdotes and unofficial histories.

The shop has been open longer than the noodle shop, and he knows almost everyone on the street.

Therefore, inviting him to a meal is a sure thing.

Of course, if it's not delicious, everyone who can spread the word about this old boy will know it.

Li Sifu picked up a noodle with his chopsticks, tried to take a bite, chewed it lightly twice, and suddenly cried out in surprise.

"Oh, it's so delicious that my head tingles, isn't this skill too good? It's delicious, it's really delicious."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about the peanuts and beer any more. Holding the noodle bowl in both hands, he began to eat it in big mouthfuls.

Seeing his eating, Xu Zhuo knew it.

The Propaganda Committee of Sifang Pavilion is online!

With him here, within two days, everyone in the whole street will know about it.

The new stewed noodles in Sifang Restaurant are delicious.

While Li Sifu was devouring the stewed noodles, Xu Zhuo was not idle either.

Started calling suppliers and buying sheep bones.

The authentic braised noodles are actually braised noodles in mutton soup, which is cooked with mutton soup boiled from sheep bones, and the taste is more mellow and fragrant than chicken bone soup.

The chicken bone soup is too umami, not suitable for cooking stewed noodles, but more suitable for snacks such as rice noodles.

The mutton sold in the vegetable market are all goats raised in local pens.

Not to mention the poor quality of the meat, the taste is also very poor, and the fishy smell is too strong.

The best choice for making mutton soup is prairie sheep, which not only has firm meat and fine bones, but also has almost no fishy smell, so it is most suitable for making soup.

With the blessing of bone broth skills, Xu Zhuo knows what parts to choose and how long to cook even with his eyes closed.

As long as the sheep bones are in place, Xu Zhuo believes that Sifang Pavilion will definitely amaze the whole street!

Chapter 006 Alarmed the old man

Li Sifu gave Xu Zhuo a thumbs up after eating the noodles.

"It's very chewy and delicious. It's almost as good as the hand-rolled noodles made by your grandfather. You really hide your secrets. If you had this skill already, would your business be so bad?"

After speaking, he picked up a few chopsticks of peanuts, drank tons of beer, and went out.

Xu Zhuo watched him walk out of the noodle shop, instead of going back to the hardware store next door, he walked towards the opposite.

Opposite the noodle restaurant was a teahouse, and Li Sifu went there to chat with those retired veteran cadres when he had nothing to do.

He is going to the teahouse now, obviously to help the noodle shop promote it.

Xu Zhuo never doubted the ability of this propaganda committee member.

The short stories of those parents on the whole street.

As long as Li Sifu knows, the whole street will know about it.

Even for those who are not interested in listening, he will chatter with Trump from beginning to end.

For this reason, he used to quarrel with people a lot.

But after the quarrel, he laughed and continued to do what he should do.

He doesn't hold grudges, and after the quarrel, he will pull people to drink with a playful smile.

Over time, everyone got used to him like this.

The supplier Xu Zhuo contacted said that a batch of sheep bones would be delivered tomorrow, which made Xu Zhuo feel relieved, as long as there was no delay in using them.

Xu Zhuo was very relieved about the reputation of this supplier.

Because this supplier also supplies meat products from restaurants in the provincial capital, they dared to play tricks on Xu Zhuo and use local sheep as good ones. I believe Xu Zhuo's grandfather would let them know the fate of dishonesty in business.

In less than 10 minutes, a call came from a number that Xu Zhuo didn't want to answer the most.

Xu Jimin, Xu Zhuo's grandfather, is the unyielding leader of the Xu family.

"Xiao Zhuo, I heard that you bought a batch of mutton bones and mutton meat. What are you going to do?"

When the phone was connected, the old man asked directly without any courtesy.

Xu Zhuo calmed down: "I have learned how to make stewed noodles, mutton stewed noodles..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Jimin's loud voice came out from the phone, and Xu Zhuo could even feel the vibrato of the phone.

"You haven't even learned how to roll noodles by hand, so you start making stewed noodles. Do you know how to knead stewed noodles? Do you know how to boil lamb bones? Do you know how to prepare ingredients?"

Xu Zhuo moved the phone away from his ear, muttered and replied, "I know."

If the selection uses the most cowardly tone to say the most domineering words, Xu Zhuo's sentence will definitely be selected.

The old man said such a long list in order to teach him not to aim too high.

As a result, Xu Zhuo said, I know, and choked up all the rest of the old man's words.

There was a silence on the phone, and the old man's voice suddenly became calm: "You know? Then tell me about kneading noodles and making bone soup."

Xu Zhuo knew that this was a sign that the old man was really angry.

But he is not afraid, because he really knows.

"Kneading the dough mainly requires three times of kneading and three awakenings. From the second kneading, a layer of oil should be applied each time. It is best to wake up the noodles for more than three to 10 minutes each time, so that the noodles can wake up thoroughly. Finally, it is finished. The braised noodle slices are double in thickness, even in thickness, and oval or rectangular in shape.”

Xu Zhuo eloquently explained kneading the dough thoroughly, but the old man on the other end of the phone was surprised.

"Okay, don't talk about it, I'll go back with the car that delivers the sheep bones tomorrow, just to see how capable you are."

After speaking, the old man hung up the phone.

Xu Zhuo wiped off the sweat from his forehead. He was really careless just now. If he had known about it, he would have changed suppliers, but he sent a message to the old man when he received the phone call.

This behavior of betraying his teammates made Xu Zhuo very indignant.

Originally, he planned to surprise the old man and his parents when the business was completed.

It turned out to be good now, and the surprise turned into a shock.

"Come in, the noodle stew made by this little boy is really delicious, if you don't believe me, try it, it's absolutely delicious!"

As soon as Xu Zhuo hung up the phone, Li Sifu dragged some old neighbors in.

This group of old neighbors didn't care much about Li Sifu's braised noodles.

Because they knew Xu Zhuo's craftsmanship, the noodles they made were completely incomparable to his grandfather Xu Jimin's.

At this moment, I gave up hand-rolling noodles to make stewed noodles. The taste is probably only worse.

Everyone knows that the food industry is accumulated through years of experience.

How can you become proficient overnight.

However, Li Sifu, the propaganda committee member, was dissatisfied with the arguing of several people.

What do you mean, you don't believe my old Li?

Then a few people were fooled by him to try.

Didn't you say it's not delicious?Then come and taste it, how it tastes.

In order to bet, Li Sifu even said that he would pay for the meals of several people in advance.

Their dispute made Xu Zhuo want to laugh.

Li Sifu is a man who you can doubt my character, but you must never doubt my mouth.

But these old neighbors are still all gangsters.
