Food starts with noodles

But Zhao Jinma is different, he specially chooses bigger jujubes to make.
Xu Zhuo guessed that the reason for this choice was that people in the Central Plains lived in poverty in the early years, but they also liked to save face, so they liked to use "big" to describe ostentation.
Eating a large piece of meat, drinking a large bowl of wine, and living in a large house all reveal a "big" arrogance everywhere, so the bigger the red dates, the more ostentatious they are naturally.
Compared with Zhao Jinma and Feng Weiguo's approach of adapting to local conditions, Ji Wenxuan's approach is much more advanced.
Each jujube is carefully selected, full and round in size, bright red in color, without any blemishes.
And when stuffing the glutinous rice dough, a small knife is used to trim the edge left by the pitting, so that the edge of the knife presents a slightly curved arc, which will look more like a smiling face.
The whole process reveals the unique delicacy and delicacy of Shandong cuisine.
After Xu Zhuo looked at it for a while, he followed suit while thinking about completing the task.
It is not difficult to get ten restaurants to offer this new dish. Sifang Restaurant, Xujia Restaurant, Mongolian Restaurant, Laomeng Buffet Hot Pot and Zhaoji Private Kitchen are all together, and ten restaurants are appropriate.
As for 1000 people who have eaten this, it is not difficult. A half-price promotion will definitely allow the task to be completed properly.
But a hundred people can do it, this is a bit difficult, because it is not enough to find a hundred people who can do it, but Xu Zhuo needs to let a hundred people learn how to laugh with honey through his own behavior.
You have to think about it carefully to see how to operate it.
Although the task is one month, there is not much room, because the Spring Festival is coming next, and everyone is busy celebrating the New Year at home, but few of them know how to cook.
After all the jujubes are sandwiched with glutinous rice dough, the next step begins-cooking.
In fact, this step can also be carried out by steaming, but steamed jujubes are easy to crack and break the skin, and the appearance is not good, so in general, people prefer to use the boiled method.
Moreover, the cooked jujube has sufficient moisture, tender meat, and bright red color, which will greatly improve its appearance and taste.
As for whether the glutinous rice dough will be cooked during cooking, there is no need to worry about this, because glutinous rice is very sticky, and it will only be more firmly combined with the red dates during the cooking process, and will not be scattered in the water.
When cooking, the three people use different methods.
Feng Weiguo used clear water and sugar, put red dates in a pot under cold water, and boiled them until they floated.
Zhao Jinma is cooked in a pot with warm water, no sugar is put in the pot, and all the sweetness comes from the last honey juice.
The most particular thing is Ji Wenxuan. First boil the brown sugar with a little water, then pour it into the warm water next to it, stir well and add red dates.
He said that by boiling the red dates first, the bitterness will be evaporated, leaving only the sweetness of sucrose, and then boiling the dates with brown sugar will make the red dates more beautiful.
Xu Zhuo doesn't know whether the red dates have become more beautiful, he only knows that this method is quite frustrating.
Shandong cuisine is not good at this point. Many dishes are tossed for the sake of tossing. In the Shandong cuisine that Xu Zhuo came into contact with, in fact, many cumbersome steps can be removed.
After the water in the pot boils, use a spoon to push the red dates at the bottom of the pot, and then turn on a low heat to keep the water boiling slightly.
The fire must be low so that the jujube can be thoroughly cooked, and the skin of the jujube can maintain its complete shape and color.
Taking advantage of this time, the three old men began to boil honey sauce, because only the chef can do it because of the limited stoves in the back kitchen.
The apprentices couldn't continue to learn, so they took out their mobile phones and took pictures of the process of the masters cooking honey, and then dug them out and pondered carefully when they were free.
Because Xu Zhuo already had the skill of sticky sugar in his hand, and the level was not low, he didn't continue to look at it. Instead, he walked to the side and looked at the phone intently, hoping to find a breakthrough to complete the task.
Unexpectedly, he really found it.
As the end of the new year approaches, almost all platforms have launched activities to make New Year’s Eve dinner by themselves, aiming to call on young people to enter the kitchen and cook a special dish to reward their parents and elders.
Seeing this, Xu Zhuo had an idea.
Through your own influence, you can push the popularity of this kind of activities up, and teach everyone how to make honey and smile by the way.
In terms of appearance, presentation, taste, implication, and appearance, this dish perfectly fits the theme of celebrating the reunion year, and it is relatively easy to start.
Even the most difficult step of boiling sugar is very simple. As long as you concentrate on doing it, almost anyone can make this dish well.
However, if you use this reason alone, at most the people who do it can meet the requirements. As for at least 1000 people who have eaten and at least ten new restaurants, you have to consider other aspects.
Xu Zhuo went for the A-level signature dishes this time, and even wanted to see what the rewards were for A-level and above, so he was more serious about this task.
It doesn't matter whether you can get it or not, the important thing is to go all out in the face of this opportunity, so that no matter whether you succeed or not, you will have no regrets in your heart.
"How can we make people interested in this dish from the bottom of their hearts, instead of relying on a momentary popularity and then disappearing quickly."
Xu Zhuo rubbed his temples, his mind was full of this question. It wasn't until Feng Weiguo put a small bowl of honey juice in front of him with a smile, that he realized that everyone had already done everything.
The waiter was serving bowls out one after another. After all, it was the master who made it, and it happened to let everyone have a taste of it.In this cold weather, you have to eat more sweets to replenish your calories, and red dates replenish energy and blood, so the girls in the store should eat more.
"Xiao Zhuo, I made this bowl, you can taste how it tastes."
Feng Weiguo looked like he was waiting to be praised, which made Xu Zhuo, who originally wanted to say something perfunctory, feel embarrassed.
The boiled smile is very beautiful. The red dates, white glutinous rice balls, and light yellow honey juice make this dessert not only beautiful, but also add a bit of festive taste out of thin air.
As expected of the protagonist in past wedding banquets, she was indeed pretty enough.
Xu Zhuo scooped up a red date with a smiling face on his spoon, put it near his mouth and blew it, then put it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
The flesh of the jujube has completely softened, but it has not become pulpy, but gives people a waxy feeling.
Coupled with the unique sweetness of red dates, people immediately feel that they are in the boundless sweet ocean.
Moreover, the sweet taste will give people a feeling of happiness and joy, so when eating, the mood will start to be happy unconsciously, and those troubles that were originally pent up in the heart will become less important.
As for the glutinous rice dough inside, although it has no taste and tastes sticky and soft, it looks perfect when paired with red dates.
In traditional dishes, the combination of food has been tested for a long time. The ancestors have done a lot of research on how to match each dish.
Take this honey sauce as an example, glutinous rice is a crop in the south, and there are not many areas where it is grown in the north. It is said that the flour of large yellow rice should be used for this dish.
But the northerners resolutely chose glutinous rice flour. The reason is that glutinous rice flour is more delicious and matches perfectly with jujube.
After eating the jujube, Xu Zhuo scooped up some shredded honey juice with a spoon, and asked Feng Weiguo curiously, "Is there sweet-scented osmanthus honey?"
Feng Weiguo stroked his beard and said, "Yes, I put osmanthus honey, which can enrich the sweetness of red dates and give people a sense of luxury."
As expected of a person who hangs out with young people all day long, he even said the word sense of luxury.
Xu Zhuo tasted it, the soup was not very sweet, but the taste and texture were just right.
If this is served on exquisite tableware, and then taken with a large aperture lens, it will be a proper high-end dessert.
It's really an interesting dessert, no wonder the system is the first to save it, this dish does have many extraordinary features.
However, the disadvantages are also obvious. The overall taste is too sweet and the calories are too high, so it is not suitable for people who lose weight.
The most important point is... There are too many desserts to choose from now. Compared with Western-style desserts and Cantonese-style desserts, this honey sauce is not refined enough, and its appearance is too traditional.
The more he observed, the more Xu Zhuo felt that the task was more difficult, because this dish really did not meet the aesthetic needs of contemporary young people.
"In the early years, if you could eat honey juice and smile, you would be able to wake up from a dream. When eating this dish at a wedding banquet, it was sold out as soon as it was served, and even the plate was rushed to lick..."
Feng Weiguo sat beside Xu Zhuo, his face full of remembrance of the past.
He even talked about how when he was just an apprentice, he was beaten up by his master for stealing this dessert in the back kitchen.
In this atmosphere, Xu Zhuo seems to have returned to the era of material shortage in the past. The sweet red dates, soft glutinous rice balls, and honey juice that is so sticky that everyone can't help but see it Swallow.
"Brother Feng, why did you suddenly become sentimental today? This is the first time I've heard you talk about the past today, so you continue to talk..."
When Feng Weiguo was talking vigorously, Zhao Jinma walked over with a half bowl of honey juice he made and smiled, naturally he wanted to praise it.
But after listening to Dong Weiguo's words, his face was full of emotion. Obviously, he also thought of those things in the past.
Feng Weiguo thought that Zhao Jinma was mocking him for his hypocrisy, so he said with a stiff neck, "What's wrong with me? Not only did I say it, but I also said it in Xiaomeng's live broadcast room..."
His bluff immediately gave Xu Zhuo an idea.
"That's right! Start the live broadcast directly, and let a few old people tell some stories about laughing with Honey, the enthusiasm and depth are all there, and the task will naturally be completed."
Xu Zhuo rubbed his hands excitedly when he thought of this, wishing he could start the live broadcast now.
But in the end he held back, because this matter needs to be planned carefully, and it cannot be rushed.
In addition, before the live broadcast starts, I have to find a way to heighten the enthusiasm of this honeyed smile, so that everyone can know what it is before it can be more sensational...cough, better storytelling.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhuo took out his mobile phone and called Meng Liwei.
"Aren't you interested in eating sweets during the live broadcast? I'm going to treat you to a bowl... But let me tell you first, I'm not responsible if you get diabetes."
Chapter 929
Meng Liwei was worrying about the content of the live broadcast, and ran over with the live broadcast equipment after hearing Xu Zhuo's words.
"What sweets? Is there a new dish in the store? Do you need me to advertise for you?"
Lao Meng has experienced this kind of thing many times, so he is very proficient, and even asked Xu Zhuo to arrange the dishes beautifully.
The girls in the store are worried about their figure, so they don't dare to eat sweets. There is still a lot of honey sauce made by the back kitchen just now, which happens to be cheap.
Holding the chopsticks, Xu Zhuo took out the red dates from the pot and arranged them on the plate one by one, then poured a spoonful of honey sauce on it, and a plate of honey sauce was ready with a smile.
Although Lao Meng was told to eat it openly, it's not good to eat too much dessert, so Xu Zhuo simply made five plates.
It sounds like a lot, but in fact, the red dates on the plate are just placed in a shape, and there is nothing extra except for the shape. The five plates of red dates are added together, and it looks like a big bowl, which is not too much.
"Is there any request?"
Meng Liwei took a sip of the jujube, it tasted sweet, but it was quite good, he could eat half a pot without pretending to eat it.
"It's delicious, it tastes good, and red dates nourish blood and nourish the skin. If you eat more, it's good for girls... Anyway, just keep talking about it.
At the end of the live broadcast, you leave a suspense, just say that I will make a big move recently, let fans pay attention to my Weibo..."
Xu Zhuo's request was very simple, that is, to let this sweet juice show his face with a smile, and by the way, warm up for the next big action.
However, how to operate it needs to be carefully planned. After all, this kind of online activities will be taken advantage of by others if one is not careful.
When Meng Liwei started live broadcasting in the private room, Xu Zhuo came to the office upstairs to discuss with Zheng Jia and Tang Xiaoying about organizing Weibo activities.
For this event, Xu Zhuo plans to launch it in the form of a live broadcast, and let Feng Weiguo appear on the camera to tell the stories about laughing with honey, and then in the live broadcast, he will fully explain the recipe of this dessert.
Finally, from the perspective of family reunion, he will call on everyone to learn together, cook a dish for the New Year's Eve dinner at home, and comfort the family members who have worked hard for a year.
The theme of the New Year's Eve dinner is reunion, and then combined with the characteristics of honey and smiling, under the background of the Spring Festival, I believe it will make those young fans who are disliked at home excited.
Young people who are at home during the Chinese New Year are fine at first, but after a long time, they will be disgusted by their parents in various ways.
If you love to go out, it means that if you don’t stay at home for a day, you will go wild outside;
If you don't go out, just say you are lazy, and you will play with your mobile phone all day long;
As for sleeping in, it's even worse. If you don't get up, you will be disgusted. If you wake up, you will be disgusted. Whether you sit or lie down at home, you will always be reprimanded anyway.
What's more, my mother will directly re-enter the bedroom with a mop, wake you up while busy, and say a murderous sentence:
"I didn't disturb you by cleaning, did I?"
Well, waking me up and asking if I was woken up is typical mommy.
However, if there is a chance to cook something casually, the nagging of the parents will stop abruptly. While eating, they will show an expression that the child has finally become sensible, and even show it off to relatives.
So at this time, it is a very good choice to use your own influence to lead the young people to make honey and laugh. Not only can the task be successfully completed, but also the young people can feel the warmth of the family again.
"What is the significance of this activity? Let young people face up to family affection?"
Zheng Jia was a little puzzled, what's the point of Xu Zhuo's effort to organize this kind of activity, just to teach fans how to be grateful?
"Increase the cohesion of fans, and as a public figure, you have to do some public welfare publicity. Maybe after this wave of operations, my fan base will increase some middle-aged people..."
Naturally, Xu Zhuo wouldn't say it was because of the mission. After he gave a bunch of high-sounding reasons, he handed over the matter to Zheng Jia and Tang Xiaoying.
This kind of event is not just a simple live broadcast, there must be a data company behind it as a promoter, and a well-connected big V to help forward and promote it, and even the federation has to respond.
In addition, the media also had to say hello, try to push the popularity of this event up as much as possible, and it is best to stay on the trending search for a while.
As for the benefits that one can obtain...
Probably because the reputation of Sifang Restaurant will be higher, more fans will urge Xu Xiaochu's flagship store to restock quickly, and Xu Zhuo's popularity will also be higher.
Other than that, there are no real benefits.
However, the current celebrities, as long as they are popular, they will benefit, even if they only benefit indirectly, they will definitely get their money back.
In the next few days, there have been discussions on Weibo about laughing with honey, and even some small anchors and gourmet UP owners with a keen sense of smell have started to make it.
Well, regardless of whether you can catch the heat or not, it is absolutely right to shoot the tutorial first.Although it's not right to talk about the heat, I have to say that they...
Really bet right.
