Food starts with noodles

There is now a little more oil in the pan than at first, because the fat from the lamb has been fried.

After pouring in the pepper powder and stir frying for a few times, Xu Zhuo poured in the shredded onion.

Onions play a large role in Northwest cuisine, and many dishes, such as Dapan Chicken Stir-Fried Latiao, can be found in onions.

In pilaf, onions are equally important, not only to put more, but also to fry the onions thoroughly.

It is said that there are no onions in the authentic pilaf, but the onion taste is very strong, and there is a cooking concept of "eating onions but not onions".

The reason is that the onion has been thoroughly fried and melted into the rice.

There is plenty of time today, so Xu Zhuo wants to try it too.

Xu Zhuo waited until the onions became transparent before pouring the carrots into the pot.

After stirring for a few times, Xu Zhuo poured water into the pot and started to simmer.

Carrots do not need to be fried, because there will be at least half an hour of simmering to make the carrots fully cooked.

The water in the pot does not need too much, just a little more than the vegetables.

After pouring the water, Xu Zhuo then put salt and cumin powder into the pot for seasoning.

Yes, salt is added at this time to ensure that the mutton has a tender and juicy taste.

If you add salt too early, all the water in the meat will be killed by the salt, and even the best meat will taste poor.

Then cover the pot and simmer for 10 minutes, so that the mutton is thoroughly cooked, and the salt in the pot is also completely melted.

After 10 minutes, Xu Zhuo lifted the lid of the pot. At this time, the smell of mutton and onions was already in the pot.

However, there is still some distance from the hand-picked rice that is so delicious that people can swallow their tongues.

This gap is - rice.

After scouring the rice, Xu Zhuo started to pour it into the pot.

Because there are a lot of meat and vegetables today, I also put more rice.

After the rice is put into the pot, don't stir it, let alone turn the pot, just let the rice grains spread evenly on the vegetables.

Next, Xu Zhuo put the lid on the pot, turned down the heat, and entered the boring stage.

In the process of stuffing the rice, the rice will absorb the soup in the pot, which will not only taste better, but also make the meat and carrots in the pot taste better.

Because after the soup is reduced, the rest is fat, and half of it is sheep fat... Can it not be fragrant?

After another 10 minutes, Xu Zhuo lifted the lid of the pot again.

The soup in the pot has obviously decreased. In order to make the rice steam more thoroughly and taste better, Xu Zhuo poked a lot of holes in the pot with chopsticks.

Sprinkle with two handfuls of washed raisins at the end, cover the pot, and forget about it.

"Damn it, it looks so simple, you can eat it when it's cooked?"

Guo Xingwang came over, as if he had never seen the world.

In fact, his question is a bit useless, because Boss Xu doesn't know if he can eat it.

It's just that in theory, the taste will not be bad.

However, in the field of cooking, many things that can be established in theory will turn over.

However, some theoretically unfeasible ones have become culinary skills passed down in the industry.

So in cooking, theory, can only exist in theory.

"Why are you interested in this thing?"

Xu Zhuo didn't answer Guo Xingwang's question, but asked a different question instead.

Guo Xingwang smiled: "Didn't I do a few live broadcasts with Lao Meng recently, and the response was not bad. Lao Meng asked me to find some materials for the next live broadcast. I thought that this hand-picked rice seems to be good..."

Xu Zhuo was a little surprised. Is Lao Meng planning to take on apprentices or is he planning to change careers?

Go back and ask him if there is anything you need to help.

As for Guo Xingwang's question, Xu Zhuo still didn't answer.

He pretended to be mysterious and smiled: "Whether it can be used as a material, you will know after you taste it after the meeting is done."

Guo Xingwang nodded heavily, he couldn't wait any longer.

After another half an hour of stuffiness in the pot, Xu Zhuo turned off the fire and prepared to cook.

He lifted the lid of the pot, and suddenly a strong fragrance wafted out of the pot.

This scent has the meaty aroma of mutton, the onion aroma, the sweet aroma of raisins, and the fragrance of rice...

The fusion of various scents made Xu Zhuo swallow unconsciously.

It worked!

You don't need to taste it at all, you can tell just by the smell that this pot of pilaf is very good.

When Guo Xingwang approached, Boss Xu's back became obviously stiffer: "How about it, do you want to learn?"

"Learn, learn, learn, you must learn, this smell is great."

Xu Zhuo took the spoon and started to stir the rice in the pot.

This step is mainly to make the oil and rice blend more evenly, and at the same time turn out the meat and carrots at the bottom of the pot and mix well with the rice.

This turn is not tight, the fragrance in the pot is more intense.

Especially those oily pieces of meat, it makes people greedy at first sight.

"Eat, eat, tell everyone to eat, do a lot today, eat whatever you want."

After finishing speaking, Xu Zhuo put the rice in the pot into a big basin and brought it to the dining table outside.

While serving the meal, Li Hao came over to complain to Xu Zhuo.

"I don't know what happened to Panpan recently. I especially like to eat small snacks. Not to mention the popping candy stuffed in my bag, I just went next door and secretly bought a big bag of jelly."

Xu Zhuo didn't care, and followed his words: "Jellies are edible glue, so don't eat too much."

"That's right, so I ate all those jellies secretly, but I can't let her get into the habit of eating small snacks..."

Chapter 841 Shen Pengxiang strikes again

At this time, Li Hao didn't know what kind of happiness he had missed, and he was still talking about how to change his girlfriend's bad habits in detail.

Regarding the matter of his girlfriend eating snacks, Xu Zhuo has always believed that it is better to avoid it than to block it.

Instead of strictly guarding against it, it is better to let her eat as much as she can, and she will naturally stop eating when she gets tired of eating.

In addition, there must be methodical guidance. For example, Yu Keke liked to eat potato chips very much before. Xu Zhuo's approach was to take the initiative to cook for this girl, so that this girl can eat healthier and more at ease.

However, Li Hao secretly ate Sun Panpan's jelly...

Xu Zhuo quite agrees, the stomach capacity is so big, if you eat too many snacks, you won't eat too much, it will definitely be bad for your health if it goes on for a long time.

It's just that if it was Xu Zhuo, he would definitely not secretly eat the snacks bought by Yu Keke like this.

Because Boss Xu knows very well that if he offends a woman, he will ultimately be harmed.

Rice is very popular. The oily rice grains are paired with large pieces of lamb, which is indescribably delicious.

The only downside may be that it is too greasy, which makes some female employees in the store afraid to try it.

But the male employees don't have such scruples, they all do physical work, and they like this kind of greasy food the most.

So before Xu Zhuo finished his first bowl, the bowl of hand-picked rice was snatched away.

Guo Xingwang took the opportunity to come over and said, "Shall we do it tomorrow? I just want to learn from you."

Xu Zhuo was able to cook the pilaf so well without the blessing of skills, and his self-confidence was born spontaneously: "It's okay, no problem, we will continue to make it tomorrow."

After dinner, Guo Shanshan was about to leave.

Xu Zhuo packed some local products for her in the car, and bought her some food for the road, so as not to go hungry halfway.

Guo Xingwang also asked this girl to bring some gifts to the family, plus gifts from other people, the little Swift was almost full.

Guo Shanshan sat in the car and lowered the window, and said to Yu Keke who was seeing him off: "Keke, come on, and strive to reach the three links as soon as possible!"

Yu Keke blushed immediately: "Let's go quickly, you've ruined us for the past few days..."

Guo Shanshan chuckled: "I don't know who stays up in the middle of the night and keeps harassing me to ask questions...Let's go, I'll see you next time I have time during the holidays!"

After finishing speaking, she kicked the accelerator to the end, and galloped towards the highway intersection amidst the loud sound of the modified car engine.

After Guo Shanshan left, Yu Keke, Sun Panpan and Zhou Wen also planned to go to the driving school to make an appointment for subject three.

The three of them haven't been to the driving school since they failed the last test, and now they will start school soon, planning to make an appointment for a test.

If you can, prepare for subject four, and try to get your driver's license before school starts.

If you fail again, then practice again during the winter vacation.

Xu Zhuo returned to the shop and continued to work on the shop.

The most popular thing today is to eat one fish and eat three, because Xu Zhuo advertised on Weibo, so many fans from the provincial capital came here to check in and taste it.

The wild carp in the aquarium in the front hall, which is suitable for one fish and three meals, has almost been fished out.

The rest are either ones that weigh more than one catty, which are only suitable for making sweet and sour carp, or those that are more than eight catties.

Three to five catties of wild carp were sold out before one o'clock in the noon, so the restaurant had to introduce a purchase restriction strategy.

"Why don't we go to the market to buy some farmed carp and put them in, they won't be able to tell anyway..."

A chef approached Xu Zhuo to "provide advice and suggestions", but Xu Zhuo rejected it.

If it's other aquatic products, maybe customers really can't tell the difference.

But the difference between wild carp and farmed carp is still obvious, and the provincial capital is close to the Yellow River, so there are countless people who know about Yellow River carp.

I really don't know if it's smart or stupid to show off this kind of shrewdness.

However, if you pin your hopes on those fishermen, it will be fine in a short period of time, but it is a bit unsafe for a long time.

For example, when it is windy and rainy, people don’t go to the river to fish, so the restaurant can’t stop making this dish, right?

Therefore, Xu Zhuo called Chen Guifang and asked her to develop a stable aquatic product supply channel.

It is not required to be wild Yellow River carp, but at least carp grown in high-quality waters.

And the most important requirement is that no feed can be fed.

The meat quality of all the fish fed feed was relatively loose, and the umami taste was not enough.

The characteristic of "one fish, three meals" is that the fish must be cooked fresh, and what you eat is the umami taste.

Once the fish is fed with feed, the dish is all ruined.

Thanks to the restaurant's reputation and Xu Zhuo's reputation, the restaurant reopened after being closed for seven days, and the business not only did not decline, but became even more popular.

By 01:30, the occupancy rate in the store was still about [-]%, which made colleagues envious and jealous.

Not far from the restaurant, a Mitsubishi Pajero parked quietly by the side of the road.

In the car, Shen Pengxiang, who had been discharged from the hospital, was sitting in the back seat, whispering to his little brothers.

"After you go in, go directly to the private room and order a few cheap dishes. If the waiter says there is a minimum consumption limit, then find a cheap dish from the menu and ask them to make [-] servings.

This is what I saw from Zhihu. They said that using this method to clean up those restaurants with consumption restrictions will be tried and tested.

You two just wait for the manager of the restaurant to say something nice, but you have to hold back and try to make trouble with them so that they can't do business. "

The two younger brothers were somewhat reluctant: "Brother Xiang, didn't your brother say that you should not get angry with Sifang Restaurant recently?"

Shen Pengxiang raised his hand and slapped the two of them on the head a few times: "I won't do what he doesn't ask me to do? I was beaten here, and he didn't fart. Can you two go?"

The two younger brothers quickly agreed.

When getting off the car, one of the younger brothers couldn't help asking: "What if they really cook a hundred dishes?"

Shen Pengxiang patted his head, with an expression of encountering a fool: "Are you so stupid? Restaurants prepare so many dishes every day. How can it be possible to prepare a hundred dishes with the same ingredients?"

The two younger brothers got out of the car and strolled to Sifang Restaurant.
