Food starts with noodles

Is it so naughty?

Not only Xu Zhuo was surprised, but also the chefs beside him were too shocked to speak.

Fuck, isn't this awesome?

Xu Zhuo looked at the old man in surprise.

Back then, the Iron Lady had eaten crystal elbows made by the old man?How come he never said this?

That's the most arrogant politician in the 80s.

But... In 82, didn't the old man come back from the capital?How could he still run over to take a photo with Mrs Thatcher?

Did the old man go back in the middle?

"Mrs. Thatcher ordered to eat crystal elbows. Diaoyutai invited me back to make them. But everyone I knew at that time left the capital. I stayed for a few days and felt bored, so I came back."

After the old man said this, he changed the subject and talked about crystal elbows.

Xu Zhuo felt that when he returned to the capital, he should have found Yu Peiyong, but Yu Peiyong had already left the capital and returned to Yangzhou to manage the first floor, so he was in vain.

As for making crystal elbows, it should just be the right time.

But the most commendable thing about the old man is that he never used Mrs. Thatcher to support himself.

If that group photo had been hung in Xu's restaurant, it would immediately become an internet celebrity restaurant that had to line up every day for lottery. If you make up stories about gourmet diplomacy, the status of the old man will definitely rise.

In fact, those famous chefs all over the country like to do this thing the most.

Do everything possible to find a celebrity to take a group photo, and then make up a touching food story, which will not only hype yourself, but also bring fire to the food.

Zheng Guangyao especially liked doing this before.

However, the old man didn't do that, and he didn't even mention it.

Although the photos are displayed at home, no one has told Xu Zhuo since he was a child that the foreign woman is the famous Mrs. Thatcher.

While Xu Zhuo was feeling emotional, the old man was talking about the main points of making crystal elbows.

"You can also steam this dish to make the skin more beautiful. You can also put more cleaned pig skin in it, which will not only make it more beautiful, but also reduce the cost."

This is indeed a rather flattering trick.

Because the steamed meat has not been boiled, the skin will not be contaminated with impurities, so it will look more crystal clear. If you add some pig skin, it will be like a work of art.

But Xu Zhuo always felt that the act of adding pigskin was a bit deceiving to customers.

Because people want to eat elbows, most of them are meat skin and skin jelly, and there is very little meat that really belongs to elbows.

But that's how it is now.

All restaurants that make crystal elbows will add a lot of pigskin to increase the weight of crystal elbows.

What's more, even pig skin is not used, but edible glue or similar things are used to directly condense the water into a gelatinous state, which is shoddy.

Thinking about it this way, Xu Zhuo really felt that he was too honest.

But be honest.

Doing food and beverages is what earns this conscience money.

Now there are a group of customers who like to come to eat, a group of employees who are willing to work hard here, and even a group of elders who help themselves.

Xu Zhuo felt that this was what he really wanted.

It is also the direction in which the system has been guiding its efforts.

"Back in the capital, Jinan's three elbows were very famous. Now that you have learned the crystal elbow, I will teach you to make the other two when I have time. They are both first-class dishes."

Jinan three elbows?

That name sounds pretty intimidating.

There are indeed a lot of elbow dishes in Shandong cuisine, but apart from crystal elbow, Xu Zhuo really doesn't know what the other two dishes are in Jinan's three elbows.

The old man didn't tell him these things, just took a few ingredients at random, and walked to Sun Lisong's house.

"Grandpa Feng, do you know Jinan Three Elbows?"

Feng Weiguo smiled, he really knew.

Not only he knows, but the chefs of the older generation seem to know the reputation of Jinan Sancuo in the capital.

Jinan Three Knuckles refers to crystal knuckles, pot roasted knuckles and rock sugar knuckles.

Among the three kinds of pork, only the crystal pork is a cold dish, while the pot-seared pork and rock sugar pork, as the old man said, are first-class dishes.

This kind of dish is in the current Sifang restaurant, even if it is served, there are not many people who order it.

Because this dish is a banquet dish, it is eaten by a large group of people with other dishes. Each person eats a few mouthfuls, and one dish will be bottomed out.

If two or three people order a portion of knuckle to eat, it will not work if they can't eat a few bites.

This thing is really not suitable for eating alone.

It is also not suitable for eating when there are few people.

So Xu Zhuo is not in a hurry to learn.

When I move to the provincial capital in the future, I can serve it in the new restaurant. At that time, Sifang Restaurant will no longer focus on fast food, but should develop into banquets.

After drying for almost an hour, when the elbow meat was still slightly hot, Xu Zhuo carefully rolled up the elbow on the tray and wrapped it into a cylinder with plastic wrap.

Store in refrigerator.

While the elbow cools, the shape will set.

Just slice it when you eat it.

"When can I eat it? I can't wait."

Cao Kun rubbed his hands excitedly, and he couldn't wait for the crystal elbow made by the two of them...

--------

Mrs. Thatcher is really no nonsense. She really ate crystal elbows and wrote it in her memoirs, but whoever did it doesn't know.

Chapter 633 Three-in-One Oil

After two o'clock in the afternoon, when the business in the store was not so busy, Cao Kun couldn't wait to go to the cold storage and brought the crystal elbow that had completely cooled down.

"Xu Zhuo, can you eat?"

Everyone was waiting to eat. When Jianguo saw the elbow, he began to remove the layer of plastic wrap that played a role in shaping it.

After tearing off the plastic wrap, the crystal clear crystal elbows are revealed.

Because of the existence of skills, Xu Zhuo's method of rolling elbow meat is relatively sophisticated.

The entire outer circle of the elbow is covered with pigskin, which perfectly wraps the pork in the middle.

Such a cylinder makes people want to take two bites just looking at it.

Jianguo took a kitchen knife and started cutting from the end.

The outer layer is covered with pigskin, which is very easy to cut.

The sliced ​​meat was beautiful.

There is a circle of crystal clear meat skin around it, and ruddy elbow meat in the middle.

Jianguo cut a piece, pinched it, put it in his mouth and tasted it, the taste was very good.

Some refreshing, but because there is a little salt, it tastes a little bland.

"Don't panic, crystal elbows are eaten with sauce, I'll make a sauce for you now."

People in Beijing are very particular about eating elbows. For example, sauced elbows should be eaten with spring pancakes, and crystal elbows should be eaten with Sanhe oil.

Sanhe oil is the standard configuration for people in Beijing to make cold dishes.

In the eyes of people in Beijing, basically all cold dishes can be made with Sanhe oil.

However, the most suitable combination with Sanhe Oil is Crystal Elbow.

The crystal elbow skill that Xu Zhuo got this time includes the practice of Sanhe oil.

The so-called sanhe oil refers to the sauce made by blending soy sauce, sesame oil and vinegar in a certain proportion. This sauce is suitable for saltiness, delicious taste, and relatively greasy.

In addition to the good taste, the three-in-one oil is not inconsistent with any condiments.

For example, you can put chili oil, sesame paste, garlic paste, seafood sauce, etc. in Sanhe oil. This thing is like a scumbag in condiments.

Can be with anyone.

Sanhe oil is very easy to make, just mix the soy sauce sesame oil and rice vinegar according to the ratio of 5:1:1.

The prepared Sanhe oil plus two spoonfuls of freshly mashed garlic in a garlic mortar is the best dipping sauce for eating crystal elbows.

After Xu Zhuo prepared the dipping ingredients, Jianguo had already sliced ​​up the whole crystal elbow, and even pretended to make a pattern on the plate.

Xu Zhuo took the prepared sauce and poured it on the meat, then took a small bowl of meat for himself with chopsticks, walked to the side, and started to taste it slowly.

The others were still waiting to dip the sliced ​​meat with their chopsticks, and they never expected Xu Zhuo to come out like this.

This sauce is really a perfect match for eating crystal elbows.

The soy sauce contains salt, which can just make up for the lack of salt in the crystal elbow.

And compared to table salt, light soy sauce tastes more delicious, and it tastes really good.

The addition of rice vinegar can relieve the greasy elbow and increase appetite, making people eat more unconsciously.

The existence of garlic paste can increase the aroma of meat slices and stimulate the taste buds, fully demonstrating the theorem that eating meat without garlic will reduce the aroma by half.

As for the sesame oil, it adds fragrance to the sauce, and can also reconcile the strong taste of soy sauce and rice vinegar.

With the addition of these seasonings, the crystal elbow not only tastes good, but also has a fascinating texture.

Especially the just right spicy taste of mashed garlic is simply irresistible.

Obviously I just ate at eleven o'clock, but now I can't help but want to buy two sesame seed cakes, add all these slices of meat, and then eat them in big mouthfuls.

But Xu Zhuo finally held back.

because……

The remaining few crystal knuckles were divided up by Jianguo and the others.

Not even a piece of skin was left.

"Jianguo, go to the market and buy a few boxes of elbows later. Starting tomorrow, crystal elbows will be officially sold in our store. Brother Kun, we will make them together later."

Cao Kun hastily agreed: "No problem, no problem... By the way, Xu Zhuo, get me two apprentices later. Before we move away, let's practice here first."

Xu Zhuo pointed to Jianguo: "Let him look for it for you. If you have any, you will be treated as an apprentice. If you don't have it, you will wait. If you go to the provincial capital, our store is relatively large, and apprentices will naturally come to you."

So unhurriedly, a week passed quietly.

"Xiaozhuo, the sketch is out. Come to the provincial capital to have a look. If it works, let them refine the design according to this method. If it doesn't work, we will revise it."

When there was only one day left in the second ring task, Xu Zhuo finally received a call from old lady Yu.

During this period, he wanted to call to remind him several times before.

But it felt inappropriate. After all, they came to help, and they confiscated a penny of their own.

If it is urgent, it will be too unreasonable.

Fortunately Xu Zhuo held his temper.

Waited for the call from old lady Yu.

Xu Zhuo took a few crystal knuckles and got into the car.

The weather has been a little warmer recently, and it's time to show off the skills of making spring pancakes by yourself.

Let the two old ladies in the capital have a taste.

However, in terms of dishes, it seems that people in Beijing are not as particular about spring pancakes.

But it’s okay, there are elbows, and I’ll make some oily bean curds, and some other rubs, and I’ll go to the vegetable market in the provincial capital to buy some Chinese toon leaves, and make Chinese toon scrambled eggs.
