Food starts with noodles

It would be a lie to say it wasn't uncomfortable, even Xu Zhuo, who had only been the boss for three years, felt very uncomfortable.

Feng Weiguo also looked melancholy, looked at Xu Zhuo and asked, "Son, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Xu Zhuo nodded, then shook his head again.

He imitated the old man's tone and said: "I feel bad for my colleagues in the provincial capital."

"What do you mean?"

"I went to the provincial capital to open a shop, and their good days of leisurely earning money are coming to an end. Do you think they will feel uncomfortable?"

Feng Weiguo glanced at him helplessly: "You really look more and more like your grandfather."

Everyone took pictures and took pictures together.

They are all saying goodbye to Sifang Pavilion in their own way.

Yu Keke cried until the pear blossoms were raining.

Her love affair took place in this store, and she ate a lot of delicious food here.

Now, the store is going to disappear, and she even made a vlog by the revolving door to commemorate Sifangguan.

But no matter how many videos and photos are taken, it is difficult to hide the sadness in my heart.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, don't you have to take the exam later? Don't cry and forget the knowledge you didn't learn much..."

Xu Zhuo hugged Yu Keke and told her to go back and take the exam with peace of mind.

After sending the employees in the store to the provincial capital today, he will come over again, because the house where Xu Zhuo and the old man lived has also been sold.

He has to come over and collect his personal belongings.

Computers, game equipment, various game peripherals in the collection, etc., all have to be taken away.

If the Sifang Pavilion is the memory of the old man, then the gadgets in Xu Zhuo's room represent his childhood.

Although he hasn't played a game for almost a year, these memories still need to be cherished.

The employees took their luggage and boarded a minibus parked next to them one after another.

It's like going on a group tour.

But these employees knew that the team building time would probably be very, very long.

After everyone arrived, Xu Zhuo waved his hand to signal for the bus to start, and Jianguo followed behind in his grocery shopping cart.

After the carts pulling people and equipment had left, Xu Zhuo said to Feng Weiguo and the old man, "Let's go, we should also set off."

He bid farewell to the neighbors in the neighborhood and told them to go to Sifang Restaurant for dinner when they went to the provincial capital.

Then he got into his Mercedes-Benz and drove slowly towards the intersection.

After the car drove to the highway, Xu Zhuo said something softly in his heart.

"Farewell, Sifang Restaurant; hello, Sifang Restaurant."

"Ding! After a year of hard work, the host has successfully completed the hidden task of [Noodle Shop Revival], and a B-level signature dish—sweet and sour carp is specially rewarded. Congratulations to the host."

"Ding! After a year of hard work, the host has made great progress in terms of personality and mentality. A special reward is the B-level signature dish-sweet and sour pork ribs. Congratulations to the host."

Chapter 738 Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs

In the next few days, Xu Zhuo was running on the roads of Linping City and the provincial capital.

In addition to moving his and the old man's personal belongings, Chen Guifang couldn't figure out whether to sell scraps or second-hand items like the used kitchen utensils at the noodle shop.

In addition, Yu Keke was in a bad mood, so he also drove here to accompany him for a day.

After everything was settled, Boss Xu walked around the store, doing the last inspection before opening.

It is said to be an inspection, but it is actually a stroll to have a look.

Now the various departments of the restaurant have started to operate, and the pre-job training has also begun.

The mix of newly recruited employees and old employees allows them to adapt to the environment of the restaurant as soon as possible.

Zheng Jia has already returned from Yangzhou, and Meng Liwei has moved into the dormitory prepared for them in the shop - a small two-bedroom apartment.

To be precise, this house was prepared for Zheng Jia, and Meng Liwei, as a family member, was just incidental.

After walking around the store, Xu Zhuo stretched himself at the door, opened the car door and drove to the city.

The old man has been at home for a few days without going out, and he is probably still sad about the demolition of the noodle shop.

Feng Weiguo was different, he felt a little sad the day he left Linping City, and the next day he hurriedly took the subway to find Zhao Jinma.

Now the two get together every day, one calls the other Professor Zhao, and the other calls the other Professor Feng.

Just like a child.

Xu Zhuo drove to a vegetable market not far from the old lady's house and bought a few catties of small ribs.

The skill of sweet and sour pork ribs has been mastered, and it is still a B-level dish. Xu Zhuo plans to come and cook it for the old man and the old lady, so that the two old people can taste it.

B-grade sweet and sour pork ribs, just thinking about it makes people's heart beat.

As for the sweet and sour carp dish, it will not be shown now.

It is better to do it in the store when there is time in the future, just to let the new employees in the store see the boss's craftsmanship, so as not to think that the boss can't cook, and cut corners to fool the boss.

But it's not enough now, it's time for Guan Junjie to show his prestige, so Xu Zhuo can't disturb him.

When the management of the back kitchen is straightened out and everyone has found their own positions, it would be better for Xu Zhuo to show off his cooking skills at this time.

After buying vegetables, Xu Zhuo came to the old lady's house.

The old lady went to play mahjong, the old man sat in the study in a daze, and Xiong Zai lay on the sofa, staring straight at the cat and mouse on TV.

I don't know if it can understand, anyway, the old lady likes to let it read this.

"Grandpa, I bought some food. I will cook today. Let my parents come over later, and our family will have a meal."

The old man nodded: "Okay then, go and do your work, I'll sit down for a while."

After speaking, he continued to sit in the study in a daze.

He was so sad that the noodle shop was demolished, Xu Zhuo couldn't imagine how painful it must have been when he broke up with his good buddies.

He used to say that Dai Zhenting thought too much, but in fact, the old man had a lot of things hidden in his heart.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhuo sighed and left the study.

Sitting next to Xiong Zai, he stroked it twice, then took out his phone and sent a message to Zhao Jinma.

"Grandpa Zhao, my grandpa is very depressed now. Come to my house for dinner with Grandpa Feng at noon. I'll make some side dishes. You can drink with my grandpa and chat."

That's all the comforting methods Xu Zhuo could think of.

Although he really wanted to call Yu Peiyong, Yu Peiyong might not have time at this time.

Let him know when it's about to open.

Otherwise, Xu Zhuo was worried that Yu Peiyong's body would not be able to handle the exhaustion.

After Zhao Jinma agreed, Xu Zhuo was about to get up and go to the kitchen to pack the ribs when Xiong Zai suddenly pulled him.

Xu Zhuo sat down again, and just wanted to see if the guy owed another beating, but Xiong Zai took out a small dried fish from under his stomach and handed it to Xu Zhuo.

This……

Seeing that Xu Zhuo didn't speak, the fat cat took out another one from under his stomach and put it in Xu Zhuo's palm, then stuffed its two paws under his stomach, curled up.

no more.

Xu Zhuo rubbed its head and returned the dried fish to it.

Probably because he was depressed, so this guy took out the dried fish and coaxed Xu Zhuo like a cat.

It really deserves to be a fat cat who jumps when it sees a D cup, and its head is clever.

Xu Zhuo got up, went to wash his hands, and then started to pack the ribs.

Sweet and sour pork ribs is a dish that can be found in almost every cuisine.

There are different approaches.

Some places like to fry, some places are good at stewing, and some places are stewed first and then fried or fried first and then stewed.

Anyway, the final product is sweet and sour, slightly greasy.

But it tastes very appetizing, and it is a side dish.

This dish is not only liked by Chinese people, but even foreigners can't put it down. It's just that foreigners are not good at using chopsticks, and they are not used to the behavior of spitting bones.

Therefore, the innovative Cantonese chef created the sweet and sour pork dish according to the eating habits of foreigners.

The sweet and sour pork ribs that the system rewarded, Xu Zhuo didn't know which cuisine it was from.

Because this dish is a bit cumbersome to make.

But B-level dishes, there must be B-level dishes.

It's okay to be troublesome.

As long as the taste is good, Boss Xu is not afraid of trouble.

And when it comes to the back kitchen, you can break down the steps and make it in an assembly line.

This is the advantage of the Grand Hotel, all the steps are broken down.

Of course, it is also a disadvantage of big hotels.

Because in this case, it is somewhat not easy to eat home-cooked taste.

Wash and cut the pork ribs into pieces, soak them in clean water, put them in a pot under cold water, and start to blanch them.

This step is very interesting.

Because meat dishes are generally made, after blanching, the meat has to be taken out of the pot, washed with warm water and then cooked.

But this ribs do the opposite.

After the water boils, skim off the froth, and leave the ribs to cook for half an hour.

This……

The style of B-level dishes is really different.

During the stew, Xu Zhuo was a little apprehensive. Now there was no prickly ash, green onion and ginger slices in the pot, not even cooking wine.

After making this, it won't have a fishy smell, will it?

Holding his trust in the system, Xu Zhuo waited for half an hour.

The pork ribs in the pot are actually cooked at this moment, but there is no seasoning or spices. They look raw and unappetizing.

Next, marinate the ribs.

Put the spare ribs in a basin after controlling the water, put two spoons of cooking wine, two spoons of light soy sauce, one spoon of dark soy sauce, four spoons of balsamic vinegar, and marinate for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, Xu Zhuo took the ribs out of the pot, drained the sauce, put them on the oil pan and started frying them.

The sauce in the basin has to be kept, because it will be used later.

When the oil was about [-]% hot, Xu Zhuo poured the pork ribs in and fried them violently.

This step is mainly to lock the moisture in the ribs.

After 1 minute, the ribs are out of the pan.

Next, comes the most critical step of making sweet and sour pork ribs - making sweet and sour sauce!

Chapter 739 Cooking is a process of returning to basics

Because dark soy sauce was added during marinating, the fried ribs are bright red in color and look very attractive.
