Food starts with noodles

So it is inevitable that they will have disputes.

It is estimated that Li Sifu went to the teahouse on purpose because they like to argue.

This propaganda committee member is very scheming.

Xu Zhuo asked them to sit down, and then went to cook the noodles.

At this moment, there is no basis for words, or to speak directly with facts.

I believe that after they eat braised noodles, their impression of Sifang Restaurant will definitely be greatly changed.

Sure enough, after Xu Zhuo brought out the stewed noodles, the old neighbors were dumbfounded, and even looked a little embarrassed.

Everyone is a foodie. They have tasted delicacies from all over the world. Braised noodles are like home-cooked meals. Whether they taste good or not can be judged from the appearance.

Xu Zhuo's noodles are white and the soup is delicious, which makes people appetite.

Pick it up with chopsticks, the noodles are not sticky all the time, this is the performance of skillful work.

Li Sifu sat on one side with a smug smile on his face.

"Don't look, hurry up and eat, don't you want to move your chopsticks after the dough is lumpy?"

Xu Zhuo also said: "Old neighbors, try it. The stewed noodles are best tasted within 2 minutes after being served on the table. After a long time, the aroma in the soup will dissipate."

Several neighbors lowered their heads and tasted it, and their expressions suddenly became cute.

It's not their fault either.

Boss Xu has been passive and sabotage for almost two years. Everyone knows what level he is.

Now that they suddenly made such authentic braised noodles, several neighbors were shocked.

But the shock was the shock, and the speed at which they ate noodles did not decrease much.

The noodles are really chewy, the taste is smooth, and the soup is delicious. Ordinary restaurants really can't produce this effect.

After they finished eating, the smile on Li Sifu's face became wider.

"How is it? I didn't lie to you, did I? It's not easy for Xiao Xu to open a shop, and we need a lot of help from our neighbors. Xiao Xu, how much money do they have for noodles? I will treat them this meal."

Xu Zhuo would not accept money from the propaganda committee, and immediately said that it was for the neighbors to eat.

In this way, Xu Zhuo had several more propaganda committee members.

Chapter 007 Boiled Lamb Bone Soup

At seven o'clock in the morning, Xu Zhuo came to the store by bicycle.

The old man called just now, and the car immediately entered the city, asking Xu Zhuo to wait at the door of the store.

Xu Zhuo didn't expect to be so quick, he is really a hot-tempered old man.

Last night, with the help of several publicity committee members, twenty or thirty customers came to the noodle shop, which really made Xu Zhuo happy.

With word of mouth fermenting, I believe the business of the noodle shop will get better and better.

Opening the store door, Xu Zhuo went to the back kitchen and started busy preparing today's dishes.

I haven't bought fresh vegetables yet, I'll go to the vegetable market to buy them later.

He is now soaking the kelp and shredded tofu first, and then shredded and blanched later.

This is the raw material for the cold salad in the store. It needs to be prepared every morning. Although this stuff can't be sold at a high price, it is better than cheap.

The boiled kelp shreds and tofu shreds are mixed with chili oil and balsamic vinegar, and the taste will remain constant.

Put it in the refrigerator, and if someone wants it, take out a plate, mix it with onion shreds, sesame oil and seasoning, and a refreshing cold dish is made.

After cutting the shredded seaweed, just as I was about to boil the water to blanch the shredded seaweed, an old man with gray hair suddenly entered the kitchen.

Xu Zhuo's grandfather Xu Jimin is here.

The old man is in good health, a little on the thin side, but he speaks full of air, with a little coercion.

"Your knife skills still haven't improved a bit."

The old man glanced at the freshly cut kelp shreds on the chopping board, with a heartbroken expression on his face.

"Go out and help, leave it to me here."

Xu Zhuo nodded and went out.

Outside, several workers were unloading trucks.

This time it was a small box, and they unloaded ten boxes of mutton bones and five boxes of mutton, all of which were frozen.

There is no way, the territory of the motherland is too large, and only freezing can make the ingredients from the mountains and the seas circulate.

After unloading the lamb bones and lamb, there is still a refrigerator in the car.

Obviously, the old man was more considerate.

Knowing that the freezers in the store were definitely not enough, he brought one directly from the provincial capital.

Put the freezer in the utility room, and put the mutton and mutton bones in boxes.

With this method, the mutton bones can be kept fresh for at least half a month.

After everything was done, several workers drove away.

While blanching the kelp, the old man told Xu Zhuo, "Do what you should do. Today I'm just here to see if you know how to make stewed noodles."

Xu Zhuo nodded, brought a box of sheep bones, unwrapped the tape, took about ten kilograms of spines, poured them into a basin and soaked them in cold water.

After sealing the bones in the box again and putting them back into the freezer, Xu Zhuo took out two more mutton pieces.

In order to maintain the fresh taste, these lamb bones and lamb are slightly frozen during transportation.

Soak in water directly when using, no need to wait for thawing.

After washing it once, Xu Zhuo chopped the mutton into large pieces and began to blanch it.

Xu Zhuo didn't put anything in the boiling pot.

After the old man blanched the shredded kelp and shredded tofu, he stood there again.

He watched Xu Zhuo operate without saying a word.

This made Xu Zhuo feel a little nervous, but out of his trust in the system, he felt that it shouldn't be a big problem to conquer the old man.

While boiling the water, the old man started to ask questions.

"Xiaozhuo, cooking wine, ginger and scallions are added to remove the smell when the pork bones are blanched. Why don't you put the lamb bones?"

Xu Zhuo responded calmly: "Because any seasoning in the bone broth will affect the taste of the soup, and the mutton soup does not need to add any big ingredients."

"Then why do many restaurants selling mutton soup say in their publicity that they add many kinds of seasonings and even traditional Chinese medicines when cooking?"

The old man didn't ask Xu Zhuo why he suddenly learned how to make mutton soup, but asked these irrelevant questions.

Xu Zhuo answered very simply: "Because the mutton and mutton bones they use are not of good quality, and they need to use large ingredients to suppress the fishy smell in the meat."

There was surprise in the old man's eyes, he didn't expect Xu Zhuo to answer so sharply.

The mutton soup is made from the best quality prairie sheep without adding any condiments. After three or four hours, the soup is delicious.

But the price of grassland sheep is high, and the whole country is staring at those sheep.

If you want to buy, you have to book in advance, and some people even sign a purchase agreement with local herdsmen a year in advance.

This high price has deterred many people from using cheap local sheep.

Then the taste is much worse.

Only put some aniseed ingredients to suppress.

But they are also very thieves, and they will use the word nourishing in their publicity to add a halo to themselves.

These are still relatively conscientious hotels.

Some restaurant owners don't even use mutton bones to make soup at all. They buy some thick soup treasures and blend them together, and it becomes the so-called mutton soup that has been boiled for a long time.

As long as these restaurants go to the back kitchen, they will immediately reveal their stuff, because they don't even have a big pot for making soup.

After blanching, Xu Zhuo washed the mutton bones and mutton with warm water again.

After letting it cool down, put the bones and mutton into the soup pot, add water again, and start cooking.

During the cooking process, no water can be added, nor can the pot be covered.

Because the peculiar smell of mutton will escape with the water vapor, if the pot is covered, the peculiar smell of mutton will adhere to the pot cover and return to the pot with the water vapor.

The old man said again: "Why do you put the pot in cold water?"

Xu Zhuo was sure now that the old man would not get angry.

"Because of the cold water in the pot, the boiled mutton soup turns white and looks better."

"Why do you have to let it cool before putting it in the pot?"

"Because when the pot is hot and encounters cold water, it is easy to make the meat hard and taste bad."

"How long to cook?"

"More than four hours."

"When to add salt?"

"Salt can't be put in the whole process."

This question is really a trap. The most taboo thing to do when making mutton soup is to add salt.

Because once you put salt, the whole taste will change.

After asking this question, the old man stared at Xu Zhuo for a long time before asking the last question.

"Son, where did you learn all this? Ordinarily, these are untold secrets."

Xu Zhuo lied: "I checked it on the Internet, and I can find everything on the Internet."

The old man doesn't understand the Internet, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Xu Zhuo started to meet face to face, the old man was not too tired and continued to observe.

The more you look, the more obvious the smile on your face becomes.

In the end, his brows and eyes were completely stretched, and he said to Xu Zhuo who was kneading his face: "Son, your talent is much better than your father's, I have already decided that in the future, our Xu family's dishes will be carried forward by you! "

"Ding, I found a new side mission, please click on the panel for details."

Xu Zhuo pretended to have an itchy neck, raised his hand and clicked in the void, and the system panel was immediately brought up.

"Sub-quest: Grandpa's wish.

Task details: Xu Jimin has always wanted to find a descendant who can inherit the Xu family's cuisine, but the children's talents are not good, so they haven't been found until now.

Task requirements: Make a bowl of noodles approved by Xu Jimin.

Task rewards and punishments: If the task is successful, you will get a D-level signature dish. If you fail, you will completely make grandpa sad and lose the qualification to inherit Xu's restaurant. "

Chapter 008 Mission Completed!

After reading it, Xu Zhuo was a little puzzled.

With his current ability, it is not difficult to impress the old man with the stewed noodles he made.

What does this mission mean?

Specially set up for rewards?

Xu Zhuo didn't care much about the succession of the restaurant.

The three generations of the Xu family passed it on alone, would the old man donate it if he didn't pass it on to himself?

The key is to make grandpa completely sad, and this weight is too heavy.
