Food starts with noodles

Chapter 790 What about the tacit agreement?

When Xu Zhuo came to the private room, the three girls had already finished their meal.

Seeing the dishes the three of them ate, Xu Zhuo frowned slightly.

In addition to the two plates of fried glutinous rice balls he asked the waiter to bring, there was only one serving of steamed buns, and the steamed buns were not finished, and there was still half of it left.

Is this what the proprietress serves for dinner?

The waiters in the store also don't wink, right?

Just when Xu Zhuo was about to ask what was going on, Zhou Wen got up and went to a cabinet in the corner, and picked up a palm-sized one...

Electronic scales.

"Is it fully charged?"

"Fill it up, let's get the plastic bag and start packing."

As soon as Zhou Wen finished speaking, Yu Keke picked up a disposable plastic bag from the table, opened it, and put a bun in it with chopsticks.

Xu Zhuo was a little confused, so he said, "What are you guys doing? Are you planning to supervise the back kitchen to see if there is any shortage?"

Zhou Wen took the electronic scale and put it on the table, then flicked the switch, and Yu Keke immediately put the steamed bread in the plastic bag on it.

"We are counting calories. Boss Xu, please don't interrupt... 115 grams, right? I'll look for the corresponding food calorie meter."

Sun Panpan glanced at the numbers on the electronic scale, and then began to check the calorie count of the corn bread on the phone.

Seeing this series of operations, Xu Zhuo was a little confused.

"That's great, what are you doing calculating calories?"

Yu Keke put the buns on the plate, and said solemnly: "We want to lose weight! We haven't eaten enough to lose weight today."

Xu Zhuo took a look at the three of them, leaving aside his wife and Sun Panpan, who only weighed about ninety catties, and couldn't see where they needed to lose weight.

And Zhou Wen, as a goddess with a good figure and appearance, has just the right body proportions, not to mention losing weight.

I really don't understand what these three people are thinking.

Yu Keke put the steamed bread in the plastic bag back on the plate, picked up a fried glutinous rice ball with chopsticks, and continued to weigh.

"There is a girl weighing over 80 pounds in the driving school, which makes us envious, so from today on, the three of us will lose weight and try to match that young lady!"

After Yu Keke finished speaking, he turned his face to Sun Panpan and said, "This glutinous rice ball is 24 grams. I ate eight of them today, and I also ate a steamed bun. Please help me calculate the calories."

This……

Xu Zhuo feels that girls losing weight are the same as boys playing games, they will always be dissatisfied.

Especially when I see others are better, I get excited.

But can this method really lose weight?

"Wow! The three of us have exceeded, and by a lot, the calories in this glutinous rice balls are so high...Forget it, let's start reducing tomorrow, what do you think?"

Sun Panpan's proposal was immediately responded to.

Zhou Wen picked up the Wowotou and started to dip it in chili oil, while Yu Keke started to eat the leftover fried glutinous rice balls.

Sun Panpan was the most interesting. He went to the door and asked the waiter to serve a dish of braised chicken and rice.

Losing weight this time...it seems like a long way to go!

Xu Zhuo didn't say anything, but started to ask the three of them what dish they wanted to eat now. He wanted to try some new dishes while he was free today.

"You can boldly say...don't make it too complicated."

“Lobster Baked Rice!”

"Uh……"

Xu Zhuo really wanted to ask his wife if she had any misunderstandings about the word "simple".

He coughed lightly and said, "This...there's no lobster in the store, let's change it."

“Sizzling Beef!”

"Cough... no iron plate."

"Bibimbap!"

"No stone pot..."

"Eel jelly pot!"

"No...no eels."

Xu Zhuo was a little speechless, did he have a good heart?

What about the tacit agreement?

How do you just pick the difficult points?

Didn’t you say keep it simple, I think you deliberately dismantled the stage.

Women are like this. If they don't fight for three days, they will go to the house to expose the tiles.

See how I deal with you tonight!

When the waiter came in with the braised chicken, Xu Zhuo got up and said, "Think about it first, I'll go to the back kitchen to have a look."

After speaking, he left the private room.

I really shouldn't have come to the private room, not to mention that the fifth course was not available, and even made my heart messy.

Ugh……

It's hard being a man.

When he came to the kitchen, Xu Zhuo fried several portions of bandit pork liver in succession, and then he was relieved.

He was going to let it be and not think about the fifth course.

The food will come out naturally when it should appear, and it is useless to force it.

Of course, the reason why he was so relaxed was that there was still more than half a month before the end of the mission.

Not guilty.

In addition, the dish of bandit pork liver now attracts a lot of people. After eating, some people will even deliberately bring a few friends who can't eat spicy food over to watch them make a fool of themselves.

This virtually also promotes the progress of the task.

As of now, more than 300 people have eaten in the store...

Cough, I approved this dish.

Xu Zhuo was busy in the store for a few more days when he suddenly received a call from the old lady.

"Xiao Zhuo, Xiong Zai's dried fish is finished, is there any in the store? If you have some, you can send some."

Xu Zhuo was quite happy when he saw the old lady's call just now, thinking that the old lady was doing something delicious to let him go there.

did not expect……

It turned out that Xiong Zai's rations were gone.

Ever since he came to the provincial capital, the small dried fish that Xiong Zai ate was contracted by Xu Zhuo.

To be precise, it should have been contracted by a few helpers in the store.

Because since Xiongzai came to the store, everyone fell in love with this piggy-like fat cat.

Anyway, there is a dish of spicy dried fish in the store, and the dryer will make small dried fish almost every two or three days.

Making rations for bear cubs is also a matter of carrying hands.

The dried fish before was sometimes delivered when Jianguo passed by, and sometimes Lu Xiaobing's courier delivered them.

Only today, the old lady specially called to ask for it.

I've been busy the past few days, so I didn't take care to deliver the dried fish. I guess the fat cat has run out of food.

Xu Zhuo went to the kitchen to pick up two packs of dried fish, packed two boxes of donkey rolls and a box of fried glutinous rice balls for the old lady, and then drove to the community where the old lady lived.

When he came to the old lady's house, Xu Zhuo was stopped by Xiong Zai just as he entered the door.

This guy stopped in front of Xu Zhuo and refused to let him go, making threatening noises and even showing his claws.

It looks like a bandit who "I opened this road and planted this tree".

Xu Zhuo was not afraid, he took out a pack of small dried fish and lit it up in front of Xiong Zai: "Be good, don't make trouble."

Xiong Zai immediately meowed obediently, and rubbed Xu Zhuo's trouser leg with his chubby face.

The old lady didn't know what she was doing in the kitchen, when she heard Xu Zhuo come in, she hurriedly said, "Feed it quickly, since it hasn't eaten anything since morning, it must be very hungry."

Xu Zhuo responded, grabbed a handful of dried fish from Xiong Zai's cat food bowl, and stuffed the rest into the refrigerator.

After finishing all this work, he strolled to the kitchen: "Grandma, what are you cooking delicious? I won't go back at noon."

The old lady threw two heads of garlic: "Eggplant steamed in the pot, you peel off the garlic, and make garlic eggplant later..."

Chapter 791 The taste of home

Steamed eggplant is a very common home-cooked dish, which can be seen on the dining table of people in the south or north.

According to different regions and eating habits, there are many ways to steam eggplant.

Some of these practices are simple, some are cumbersome, and there are so many of them.

As for which method is the best...

This varies from person to person, and everyone thinks that the steamed eggplant made at home is the most delicious.

For example, Boss Xu, he thinks that the old lady makes the best food.

The old lady's method is very simple, steamed eggplant with mashed garlic, and then drizzled with sesame oil.

With such a simple mix, it has become a delicacy that Xu Zhuo misses every summer.

In addition to the old lady in the Xu family, the old man and Xu Wenhai also often cook steamed eggplant.

However, the old man's method has exquisite ingredients and exquisite presentation. He made a very homely dish so unbearable.

Xu Wenhai, on the other hand, puts more emphasis on innovation. Every time he cooks at home, he wants to play a new trick, such as steaming eggplant. He has tried using ingredients such as chopped pepper, and made steamed eggplant with chopped pepper.

The taste is quite good, but it always feels a little bit less homely.

The dishes made by the old man also have this problem. They are too deliberate and delicate, without the smoke and fire at home.

So compared to the two chefs at home, Mr. Xu's favorite is the old lady's home-cooked dishes.

Especially this steamed eggplant, although the method is simple and the presentation is not particular, but it can be eaten freely, and it can be full every time.

But after graduating from university, Xu Zhuo never ate this dish again.

Before, he stayed in Linping City to eat and wait to die, and got away with it. He hadn't been to the provincial capital much, so naturally he couldn't eat the dishes cooked by the old lady.

Since last year, Boss Xu has "turned his prodigal son back" and started to work hard with the help of the system, and his business has become much busier.

As a result, he didn't have much time to come to the provincial capital, let alone come here for a meal.

In addition, it is impolite for customers to welcome and send it off, so Xu Zhuo never ate this dish again.

And the old lady is getting old, and he can't bear to let grandma cook.

But now, when the old lady directly threw two ends of garlic over for Xu Zhuo to peel like she did when she was a child, it suddenly opened up the memories of Boss Xu.

If the old lady brought out a plate of steamed eggplant right after entering the door, Xu Zhuo wouldn't be so excited, at most, he would try a few sips to reminisce about his past childhood.

But everything is most afraid of memory and imagination.

Xu Zhuo thought about the scene of eating steamed eggplant in the past, and the things his grandma cooked for him when he was a child.
