Food starts with noodles

Now the air is suddenly quiet.

Xu Zhuo felt that things were not easy.

Sure enough, Wei Junming sighed.

"In [-], my wife and I got married and had our own child at the end of the year. The little guy looks so cute."

"When the child was two years old, there was an emergency in the store one day. My wife and I went to the store to deal with it. The child was sleeping, so we locked him at home."

"After he woke up, he couldn't find us. He looked for food in the cabinet, but the cabinet fell and hit him."

"When we went back, the child was gone, and my wife and I haven't had any children since then."

"My wife has been refusing to forgive me, saying that I have suffered retribution for killing too many lives. But as a cook, there is no reason not to kill."

Xu Zhuo sighed softly in his heart.

Everyone has their own scars.

If he had known earlier, he would not have asked.

It's really uncomfortable to push the scars away for others to see, and pretend to have already seen them.

He wanted to comfort Wei Junming with a few words, but he didn't know where to start.

It seems that all languages ​​are extremely pale at this time.

"Ding! A new random task has appeared, please click on the panel for details."

random mission?

Xu Zhuo entered the panel and carefully checked the task details.

Random task: Help Wei Junming repair the relationship between husband and wife.

Task time limit: within one year.

Task rewards and punishments: If you succeed, you will get a C-level signature dish, and if you fail, there is no penalty.

This task is understood.

The rewards are generous enough.

But what Xu Zhuo didn't understand was.

As an outsider, how can he meddle in other people's family affairs?

Although he wanted to do something, he couldn't do it at all.

The two have been at war for at least 20 years.

It's unimaginable to want to repair the relationship.

But this matter can not be ignored.

After all, this C-level signature dish is quite attractive.

Anyway, one year, no rush.

Xu Zhuo coughed twice, and took the initiative to tell Wei Junming how to make spicy lamb's feet.

He really didn't know what to say, so he could only drag the topic to this aspect.

This awkward and dull atmosphere was not broken until Yu Keke ran in.

"Handsome boss, I'm here, hurry up and make hot and sour noodle fish, I haven't eaten in the morning yet."

As soon as this girl came, the atmosphere in the store was visibly more active.

Yu Keke took the computer and the fully charged DV, and bounced to the kitchen.

Seeing Wei Junming, the girl sweetly called Uncle Hello.

Only then did Wei Junming get rid of that grief.

"Spicy and sour noodle fish? Xu Zhuo, do you want to make hot and sour noodle fish? Are you the kind grandma made?"

Xu Zhuo nodded: "Yes, but it's hard to say whether it can make that kind of taste. It's the first time I made it today. I used to watch my grandma make it, and I thought it was very simple."

"When I was an apprentice in the Sifang restaurant, my favorite was the hot and sour noodle fish made by my wife. The taste makes my mouth water when I think about it. Unfortunately, when I come back this time, my wife no longer cooks."

Xu Zhuo's grandma's cooking skills are average.

But only the hot and sour noodle fish is very authentic.

It's unspeakably delicious.

Even the old man, the chef of the state banquet, is willing to bow down.

When he graduated from university, Xu Zhuo wanted to eat the hot and sour noodle fish made by his grandma.

The old lady was very happy and immediately started to do it.

Making hot and sour noodle fish is hard work.

Although the old lady is in good health, she is getting old.

Physical strength and energy have been greatly degraded.

Before the gluten was washed, the old lady was out of breath.

In the end, Xu Wenhai completed the rest of the work.

Made Xu Zhuo a bowl of not-so-authentic hot and sour noodle fish.

Since then, the old lady has been banned from the kitchen.

The family is not short of money, it's time to take care of themselves.

Then the grandma who was idle and free became obsessed with mahjong.

All the old people in the community have become her poker friends.

While playing cards, he was busy making blind dates for Xu Zhuo.

Xu Zhuo was so frightened that he didn't dare to see the old lady.

"Handsome boss, you can start now, everything is OK here."

Yu Keke put the DV on the tripod and signaled Xu Zhuo to start.

Xu Zhuo brought the basin and began to wash the gluten with the face.

Wei Junming saw this posture and knew that this was to record a video.

Without saying anything, he walked out of the kitchen slowly.

He has already made up his mind that he must try Xu Zhuo's hot and sour noodle fish today.

Even if it is only [-]% of the master's skill, it is enough for him to satisfy his greed.

In the kitchen, Xu Zhuo quickly kneaded the flour in the basin into a dough and let it rest for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, add half a basin of clean water to the basin, Xu Zhuo puts the dough in and starts to wash the gluten.

There is no trick to washing gluten, just grab the dough and knead it.

By kneading, the starch in the dough is kneaded out, and the remaining dough like a rubber band is gluten.

However, the process is not so easy.

Xu Zhuo kneaded the gluten for almost an hour before he kneaded the gluten well.

The clear water in the basin also turned into viscous starch water at this moment.

Strain out the gluten residue in the basin and set it aside.

After a while, pour off the top layer of water and cook.

This thing is really exhausting.

After washing the gluten, Xu Zhuo's arms felt a little sore.

No wonder grandma found it difficult to make hot and sour noodle fish for the last time.

The washed out gluten can't be wasted, add some yeast powder and steam for 10 minutes later.

After steaming, whether it is cold or fried, it is very delicious.

Yu Keke turned off the DV, and asked Xu Zhuo curiously: "Handsome boss, since washing gluten is so tiring, why don't you just stir the starch in the water, just like making mung bean jelly."

Before Xu Zhuo could answer, Wei Junming walked in.

"The hot and sour noodle fish made by that method has no soul, and it tastes better only if it is boiled in gluten-washed water."

Xu Zhuo looked at Wei Junming in surprise.

Didn't you leave?

Why did it pop up again?

Do you want to eat my spicy and sour noodle fish?

Chapter 054 Hot and Sour Noodle Fish

Xu Zhuo is a bit busy at the moment.

The stewed noodles had to be kneaded one last time.

It's time for the sheep's feet to come out of the pan.

I have to hurry up and knead the noodles by hand, otherwise I won’t be able to catch up with the noon meal.

"Jianguo, the goat's hooves are ready and ready to serve."

"Coco, go ask the waiter to clean the outside and wash the vegetables."

"Uncle Wei, I'll leave this piece of gluten to you. You can do whatever you want. You can arrange it yourself."

After speaking, Xu Zhuo started kneading the noodles.

Everyone arranged work, even the elder Wei Junming did not escape.

But Wei Junming was tempted by this piece of gluten just now.

If he wants to guide Xu Zhuo, he must come up with some dry goods.

Otherwise, not only Xu Zhuo was unconvinced, but the people in the shop probably also had opinions.

There are many practices about gluten in Sichuan cuisine.

What red oil gluten, gluten sausage, matsutake gluten chicken, etc., there are many kinds and are well-known.

But in these dishes, gluten is a side dish.

Wei Junming didn't plan to do this, he planned to use this piece of gluten as the main ingredient to make a small stir-fried shredded gluten.

This dish is not well-known, and the ingredients are simple.

But it takes a lot of work to make it delicious.

Most importantly, the ingredients must be hand-washed gluten.

The gluten bought in the wholesale market cannot make this dish.

In order to leave a good impression on Xu Zhuo, Wei Junming took every step very carefully.

Sprinkle some baking powder on the gluten, grab it well and steam it in the pan.

It takes 10 minutes to steam the gluten. During this period, he prepared the ingredients.

Cut two green and red peppers, prepare minced ginger, minced garlic and spices needed.

Then put it aside, wait for Xu Zhuo to finish his work before frying.

Since we want to teach Xu Zhuo, we must seize every opportunity that allows him to increase his knowledge.

For example, now, such a rare opportunity to cook.

Xu Zhuo must watch carefully.

It's a pity that Boss Xu is too busy now to take care of anything else. After kneading the stewed noodles, he took the basin and started kneading the noodles.
