Food starts with noodles

The steps up the stairs cannot be avoided because

After the watermelon bean paste enters the altar, the most important step is drying.

And the roof is where the whole hotel can be exposed to the sun all day, so although it is a bit hot, Xu Zhuo decided to make it on the roof.

Fortunately, Jianguo and Shi Lei set up a sun protection net on the roof in the morning, so it's not very sunny at the moment.

Once everything is ready, start shooting.

Xu Zhuo first introduced Huang Tingting. After all, she is the front desk manager of his store. Now that she has made an appearance, fans can get to know her.

"Today our Manager Huang will teach you how to make watermelon bean paste. I'm here to help you today to learn."

Without further ado, let's start making.

First, weigh the thoroughly dried soybeans and pour them into a large iron basin.

After a while, all the ingredients will be mixed well before filling the jar. The watermelon bean paste made in this way will be delicious and more pure.

At that time, Xu Zhuo cooked ten catties of dried beans, but now they are covered with flour and after mildew, they weigh almost fourteen catties.

According to Huang Tingting's ratio of one catty of dried beans to five catties of melon, the weight of watermelon is almost seventy catties.

Xu Zhuo saw a dozen or so peeled watermelons that Guo Xingwang moved upstairs.

like……

A little too much.

But it’s good to have too much, and you can choose it calmly later, and use the best watermelon to make it.

"How much salt do you use?"

"One catty of dried beans is three taels of salt, and fourteen catties of dried beans is 42 taels, which is four catties of two taels."

As expected of the front desk manager, Huang Tingting casually mentioned the salt to be used.

Xu Zhuo turned off the calculator on the phone in embarrassment, and began to cut the watermelon.

For the watermelon used to make watermelon bean paste, the outer skin cannot be peeled off completely, it is best to leave a layer of melon skin.

This has two advantages.

The first is to add a sweet taste to the sauce, and the second is that after the melon skin is fermented in the sauce, it will make people want to stop regardless of the texture and taste.

Xu Zhuo held a watermelon, weighed it and cut it open with a knife.

Fortunately, it turned out to be red sand.

He was just about to start cutting with a kitchen knife when he was stopped by Huang Tingting: "Sandy melons can't be used, they are too ripe, and the sauce is easy to spoil."

And this statement?

Xu Zhuo put the watermelon aside and cut another one.

This watermelon is also red fleshed, but it is still a little behind the stage of sandy flesh.

"This is just right, just cut it into small pieces."

Xu Zhuo handed the watermelon to Guo Xingwang, the toolman next to him, and asked him to start cutting it, while Xu Zhuo continued to pick the watermelon.

The watermelon pieces don’t need to be cut too big, but they can’t be too small, basically cut into dumplings.

After all the watermelons were cut, the iron basin was almost full.

But it's not over yet, there are other ingredients to be added.

Xu Zhuo took a small basket of peanuts that had been washed and emptied of water and poured them into the iron basin.

Add some peanuts to the soy sauce, not only does the sauce taste like peanuts, but it also tastes richer.

After the initial nervousness, Huang Tingting was able to speak eloquently to the camera,

While she was busy, she was telling interesting stories about her grandma making watermelon bean paste when she was a child.

"At that time, my family was poor, so I didn't dare to buy more watermelon, but I was greedy, and I always ate it when my grandma made it. Sometimes I had already added salt, and I would grab watermelon from the basin and stuff it into my mouth..."

As she spoke, Huang Tingting pinched a piece of watermelon from the basin and put it into her mouth.

But there is no one around me who scolded me, and this watermelon doesn't taste as sweet as it did back then.

After adding peanuts, Xu Zhuo began to pour salt into the basin.

"Pour it all in? Is it too much? Will it be very salty?"

Guo Xingwang came over and tried his best to add drama to himself.

Tool people are also human beings, and they also have a photogenic heart.

Xu Zhuo said with a smile: "It needs to be salty, otherwise it will rot and go bad. When I fry it later, I will add green onions and peppers, which can neutralize the saltiness a lot."

Guo Xingwang squatted by the basin and did not leave, the tool man successfully showed his face!

"In fact, in addition to peanuts, you can also add ingredients such as almonds and walnuts. The richer the ingredients, the better the taste."

However, this is for commercial use in the store, not for eating by yourself. If you add too much ingredients, it will lose its original flavor.

So Xu Zhuo only added peanuts.

Then it's time to stir, but it's not an easy job.

and so……

"Prosperity, those who are capable will work harder, come, come, you will operate this step."

Chapter 810

Guo Xingwang was quite excited at the beginning, after all, if he operated, there would be close-ups.

Yu Keke's account has a lot of fans, not only on station B, but also on other platforms.

Especially on Youtube, all kinds of beautiful foreign girls have become fans of Xu Zhuo after watching his cooking videos.

If I show myself well, I might be able to win the favor of a tall, fair-skinned foreign girl.

No matter how hard I try to get it... Isn't it delicious?

With this mentality, Guo Xingwang happily started to stir in the basin.

Huang Tingting stood aside, telling him the skills and methods of flipping.

But flipping through the pages, Guo Xingwang suddenly discovered that this job seemed ordinary, but it was really tiring.

Because the surface of the beans is covered with mold, they are slippery and greasy after contact with the watermelon, and there are many sauces, so it takes a lot of effort to turn them.

So within 10 minutes, Guo Xingwang clamored for Xu Zhuo to take his place for a while.

The hot weather and the tiredness made him sweat all over, and his work clothes were soaked.

"Your body is a little weak."

Guo Xingwang washed his hands, wiped his sweat with a towel and explained: "I am fine. After all, I have been cooking for several years. The main reason is that it is too hot today."

Xu Zhuo continued to stir the sauce ingredients in the basin with his hands until all the sauce ingredients were evenly mixed together, and then began to fill the jar.

At this moment, Guo Xingwang had almost had a rest, so he took the initiative to come over with a clean water ladle, and started a new round of performance.

He scooped up a large ladle of sauce and poured it into the jar along the mouth of the jar.

And Xu Zhuo stood at the side, holding the spice packets he had prepared before, throwing one in from time to time, so that the spice packets could be evenly distributed in the jar.

A large pot of sauce only filled more than half of this large kimchi jar.

After filling in all the sauce ingredients, Xu Zhuo took half a bottle of white wine and poured it in.

This white wine is used for sealing to prevent the sauce in the jar from going bad.

At the same time, the smell of these white wines will gradually penetrate into the sauce, making the sauce more outstanding.

After everything is done, start to seal the jar.

This step is also critical. Whether you can eat delicious watermelon bean paste depends on whether the seal is tight.

Xu Zhuo first sealed the mouth of the altar with a piece of kraft paper, and then covered the mouth of the altar with several layers of plastic wrap.

Finally, close the lid, and then pour water into the water seal, and the sealing step is considered complete.

This step is more troublesome than making kimchi. The main reason is that the watermelon bean paste needs to be exposed to the sun.

The sun at this time can be said to be the most vicious time of the year. The dark jars are exposed to direct sunlight, and the sauce inside can even boil.

Therefore, the mouth of the altar should be completely sealed to avoid other accidents.

After everything was ready, the shooting was not over yet, because the sun protection net had to be removed to prevent the jar from being exposed to the sun.

The job naturally fell on Guo Xingwang.

"Manager Huang, I definitely can't do it alone. I have to let Jianguo help. Don't feel bad about it."

Huang Tingting has not established a relationship with Jianguo yet, so she is still a little uncomfortable facing Guo Xingwang's teasing.

But fortunately, she is also the front desk manager of the store and deals with all kinds of customers all day long, so when faced with such ridicule, she will not panic and wonder how to deal with it.

"Aren't you going to ask him to treat you to dinner? It's a chance when you remove the sunscreen, but there's a high probability that he will invite you to eat buffet hot pot opposite. Don't be disgusted."

Guo Xingwang smiled: "No problem, no problem. By the way, boss, when will this video be uploaded? I have to pass it on to my family later. After all, I also participated in the show."

While tidying up the tripod, Yu Keke said, "It's estimated that it will be uploaded tonight, but I don't know the exact time, because the review is so slow now."

After getting the news, Guo Xingwang was going to watch the video at station B, and when he knew it was uploaded, he hurried to leave a message in the comment area.

He has already thought about the content: "My Boss Xu's Queen's Tool Man Guo Xingwang, send hello to all friends at station B!"

When the time comes to change the avatar to one wearing a chef's hat, it will become popular in no time.

But it's not enough to show your face once, you have to participate in the next video shoot.

"Xu Zhuo, what are you going to shoot next? I'll help you when the time comes."

Xu Zhuo didn't know what to shoot, he didn't want to do bandit chicken bandit duck or something, because emergencies never came, and he was a little impatient.

In case the accident happened because the dishes were too spicy, wouldn't it be digging a hole for myself?

"Why don't you cook scallion grilled lamb? Isn't this dish known as a famous dish in the Central Plains? We haven't made it yet."

Yu Keke's proposal got Guo Xingwang's response: "Yes, yes, I haven't filmed such a delicious dish yet, Xu Zhuo, let's take a photo if I have nothing to do in the past two days, just to enrich the material of the proprietress."

Xu Zhuo didn't object. Although the dish had already been served in the store, it hadn't been shown online yet.

"Okay, let's do it tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow afternoon, we will take a picture of the mutton grilled with green onions."

Xu Zhuo made a final decision and settled the matter.

After coming down from the roof, Yu Keke went to copy the video, Huang Tingting went back to work at the front desk, and Guo Xingwang took Jianguo upstairs to remove the sunscreen net.

Xu Zhuo had nothing to do, so he took a few packs of salt-free dried fish from the back kitchen, and some foods that the old lady likes to eat, such as steamed buns.

After Yu Keke copied the video, he drove to visit the old lady.

At noon, the old lady said in the group that there was something wrong with the bear boy, so she asked the nanny to take him to the pet hospital.

At the moment, I don't know how the fat cat is doing, and Yu Keke hasn't seen the bear boy for a long time, so the couple plan to go there.

It happened that Xu Zhuo also wanted to pick a few bottles of wine for Cui Yong in the old man's study.

When he came to the old lady's house, Xu Zhuo knew the reason why Xiong Zai was wrong.

This guy is actually shedding hair all over his body now, and the hair on his body will fall off in pinches when he walks a step.

It's like a walking dandelion.

The point is that this guy didn't know it, and when he saw Yu Keke, he threw himself into her arms.

then……

Yu Keke's newly bought short sleeves grew hair all of a sudden.

"Why are you shedding hair now? It's still shedding so badly, don't cats change their hair in spring and autumn?"

While Yu Keke was feeding Xiongzi Xiaoyu, Xu Zhuo stuffed the food into the refrigerator and chatted with the old lady.

The old lady sighed: "Ya Ping from your cousin's house sells cat food online and says it's an international famous brand, so she insisted on sending me a few packs for Xiong Zai to taste, and after eating for less than a week, Xiong Zai became That's it."
