Food starts with noodles

Mission rewards and punishments: Mission successful, [Concentrate on learning] skills will be upgraded to another level, and the dishes obtained by the host using this skill will also be high-quality dishes; Mission failure: [Concentrate on learning] skills will disappear.

Task time limit: one month.

Task prompt: None.

After reading it, Xu Zhuo was a little surprised.

There is nothing to say about this reward.

Concentrating on learning this skill, I originally learned entry-level dishes.

Now this reward has surpassed the advanced level, and it has been upgraded to a high-quality dish all of a sudden.

I have to say, this reward is very exciting.

Boutique-level dishes, if you work hard, you can upgrade to D-level signature dishes.

but……

With such a generous reward, it stands to reason that the task should be difficult.

But this task is too easy.

It's so simple that it doesn't match the rewards at all.

Because opening the door for business is too easy to achieve, you can just open the door for business after the tables and chairs come in. As long as someone comes to eat, isn't this the task completed.

However, according to the urgency of the system and Xu Zhuo's understanding of the system.

Although the task may be completed without any risk, it will not be too smooth after all.

Especially this kind of big reward for upgrading skills, I am afraid that it will be more difficult.

And now...

Could it be that the system discovered this with conscience?

He immediately dismissed the idea.

Something is wrong, the reward is so important, there must be an event that prevents the opening from happening later.

It's just that there are no signs of it now.

Don't take it lightly.

Tang Xiaoying and Chen Guifang had to hurry up and hurry up and try to purchase all the facilities in the store.

In addition, things like the recharge system should be done as soon as possible.

These things cannot be allowed to delay the progress of opening the store.

Although I can't figure out where the difficulties are now, we must actively deal with them.

At ten o'clock in the evening, when Xu Zhuo was driving back to rest, the old man suddenly looked at Xu Zhuo and asked, "I heard from Feng Weiguo, do you want to make Sixi meatballs?"

Before Xu Zhuo could reply, the old man said again: "Sixi meatballs are a bit troublesome. If you want to learn, I will make them for you tomorrow. You should familiarize yourself with the general steps first."

Xu Zhuo didn't expect the old man to pay so much attention to him.

Heart warm.

He asked without words: "Grandpa, what's the difference between Sixi meatballs and lion heads?"

As soon as this was mentioned, the old man became excited.

However, perhaps because of the easing of the relationship with Yu Peiyong, this time it did not say that Huaiyang cuisine originated from Shandong cuisine, and that the lion head imitated Sixi meatballs.

Sixi meatballs are similar to lion heads, but there are also differences.

First of all, the fillings are different.

Although both use three-point fat and seven-point lean meat as fillings, the meat filling of Sixi meatballs is chopped, so the meat is smaller, which is similar to raw rice.

The lion's head is not chopped, but the meat is finely chopped into pomegranate seeds, which is much more difficult.

In addition, although Sixi meatballs will also beat the meat to a gelatinous state, they still need to put starch water in it, so that the meat will be tightly hugged into a ball.

No matter how you cook it, it will not fall apart.

And the exquisite lion head does not put raw powder water at all, it relies on constant kneading and patting to make the meat particles gel and agglomerate, and the meat balls are very loose, so when cooking, it should be cooked slowly.

What's more, there are other ingredients in the lion's head, and Sixi balls, in addition to the meat, only the horseshoe is put in.

But now Sixi meatballs also have other ingredients, such as diced mushrooms and diced shrimp.

Cooking is a process of mutual reference and integration.

I can't say who is authentic, it's all for better taste.

In terms of production, Sixi meatballs are first fried in oil, and then stewed in clear soup over high heat. During the process, soy sauce and other seasonings are added to increase the color.

After it is out of the pot, the remaining soup in the pot will be thickened and poured on top of the meatballs.

The thick red sauce is very tempting.

As for the lion's head, there is no deep-frying process. It is directly put into the chicken soup that will not boil and simmered slowly.

The last and most obvious difference is size.

Sixi meatballs are slightly smaller, four at a time.

The lion's head is bigger, and there is only one serving.

The old man was a little tired, and now he was nestling in the passenger seat, trying to speak these words, and even chattered a little, which made Xu Zhuo feel very uncomfortable.

Grandpa is really old.

The old here does not refer to age, but to mental state.

In the past, the old man was high-spirited, even if he had a family chat with someone, he was full of spirit, and he could feel the spirit from his words.

But now, the vigor of the old man is gradually disappearing.

Although the physical condition is not bad, but the talking is rambling, completely without the momentum before.

Xu Zhuo secretly made up his mind: he must work hard to earn money, and move the store to the capital as soon as possible to make the old man happy.

When he arrives in the provincial capital in a few days, he will not be allowed to work in the store. People in their 70s should spend their old age peacefully and enjoy their own lives.

Instead of being around grandchildren all day.

Thinking of these, Xu Zhuo felt that he was so useless.

People without a system can still make their families live a very comfortable and happy life through hard work.

And I have the existence of the system as a plug-in, but...

But he just idles around all day and doesn't know how to work hard, making his family work hard.

Really...

So ashamed!

Chapter 731

In the morning, as soon as he came to the store, the old man was about to teach Xu Zhuo how to make Sixi balls, but Xu Zhuo stopped him.

"Grandpa, don't be too busy doing it. I'll do it later, and you can just point it out."

The old man took a look at Xu Zhuo in surprise: "If you do it directly, can you do it well?"

Xu Zhuo began to lie again: "When I was in Yangzhou, Grandpa Yu taught me how to make a lion's head. You also told me the difference last night. I think I can do it."

The old man nodded, agreeing with Xu Zhuo's words.

Sixi meatballs and lion heads do have a lot to learn from each other.

It also makes sense to reverse the Sixi balls through the lion's head.

But it was too greasy to eat Sixi balls in the morning, so Xu Zhuo honestly kneaded the noodles and started making scallion pancakes.

Entering June, dry and hot winds began to wreak havoc on the land of North China.

The dry and hot wind makes the wheat ripen quickly, and at the same time makes the weather hotter and hotter.

Early in the morning, the kitchen was sweltering with heat, and the grandpa and grandson both had mediocre appetites, so they made some scallion pancakes, and cooked some sour soup later, so they could make do with it.

Anyway, after nine o'clock, there is everything to eat in the store.

It's okay even if you don't have enough to eat right now, just eat something else later.

As the weather gets hotter, fewer and fewer people eat stewed noodles.

Xu Zhuo simply stopped the stewed noodles, and at the same time removed the scallion noodles and cold noodles that were not very popular this year, leaving only two kinds of noodles, hot dry noodles and oil splashed noodles.

In terms of rice, braised pork rice is still the most popular.

Have a delicious Braised Pork Rice with a bowl of cool and delicious mung bean smoothie.

No matter how hot the weather is, my heart is still cool.

The shops on the street have already started to be demolished, but the Sifang Pavilion has not yet negotiated the terms of compensation, and Xu Zhuo still needs to persist for a few more days.

The compensation price has been negotiated, but the other party wants to pay with future shops.

Now banks cannot directly lend to real estate developers, so real estate companies are relatively short of funds. They want to save cash as much as possible, even if they pay more for the house.

And Chen Guifang doesn't want a house, she just wants cash.

Because it is said that the medical school is going to move out to the new area, and the teaching area is being built now, and within two years at most, the medical school will be empty.

What's the use of having more shops at that time?

Without the consumer group of students, a group of elderly people who have nothing to do to drink tea and bask in the sun can't do much business.

Therefore, no matter what the other party talked about, Chen Guifang insisted that she only wanted cash, not a house.

In addition to not being optimistic about the future business development, the main reason for this is that the Xu family's cash flow is insufficient, and they plan to rely on the real estate in Linping City to replenish their blood.

Xu Zhuo doesn't have to worry about these things, he just needs to open the store properly, anyway, when Chen Guifang negotiates the compensation, he will close the store at any time.

Then they picked up useful things and transported them away, leaving the rest of the mess to Chen Guifang to deal with.

After breakfast, Xu Zhuo finished his work and started making Sixi meatballs.

With his hands behind his back, the old man watched Xu Zhuo's operation motionlessly.

Obviously, he wanted to see how good Xu Zhuo was at making meatballs.

Feng Weiguo on the side was full of rejoicing, fortunately he didn't answer Xu Zhuo's words yesterday, otherwise the old man would say that he was not as young as a child again.

I, Professor Feng, don't want to lose face?

"Weiguo, don't Shanxi cuisine also have meatballs? How about you and Xiaozhuo make them together?"

The old man opened his mouth to say such a sentence, Feng Weiguo immediately refused.

"Shanxi's method is different, and there is nothing to compare it with. It's better not to eat meatballs in such a hot day. I'll go and see how Shi Lei's knife skills are doing."

Just kidding, he can see that the kid is definitely no stranger to meatballs with the quickness of chopping meat stuffing at Xu Zhuo, so it's better not to meddle with it.

Maybe it will become his background board again.

His mentality, if you use the terminology in anime, it should be...

Background board の awakening.

Before chopping the meat stuffing, Xu Zhuo soaked some prickly ash water and green onion and ginger water. The water will be poured into the meat stuffing later, so that the meatballs will be more tender.

Next, Xu Zhuo held two knives, as if possessing Guanxi, and swiftly chopped the front leg meat that had just been cut from the cold storage.

The front leg meat is relatively tender, but it has too many tendons, so it is more suitable for filling.

Xu Zhuo chopped about five or six catties of meat this time.

Since it is going to be done, everyone must eat it together.

This is also the reason why the Sifang Pavilion is harmonious, and it does not engage in any specialization.

But in the provincial capital, this kind of management based on human feelings is not suitable.

Because Sifang Restaurant needs more people and has more departments, if you want everyone to perform their duties, you have to formulate various rules and regulations and promotion channels.
