Food starts with noodles

Just as Xu Zhuo turned off the fire, he realized that Feng Weiguo came over at some point, staring at the pea puree in the pot, as if he was thinking about something.

Xu Zhuo said with a smile: "This level is the best. If you continue to fry, the pea yellow will dry out and crack, and the taste will also deteriorate."

The pea yellow is not fried as dry as possible, but fried like chocolate sauce.

This is somewhat similar to fried sweet potato mash.

Xu Zhuo took out the pea puree from the pot, put it into a deeper square tray, smoothed it with a spatula, and asked a helper to send it to the cold storage for cooling.

After finishing this step, he looked at Feng Weiguo who had been silent all this time and asked, "Grandpa Feng still remembers the experience of being trained as an apprentice?"

Feng Weiguo rolled his eyes at him: "You kid, you're not too old or young anymore."

After a pause, he said: "This method is very similar to our Shanxi mung bean cake, and it is also made in this way. Xiao Zhuo, do you want to learn from Shanxi's desserts?"

Xu Zhuo was stunned for a moment: "Since the mung bean cake is the same as this method, I can try it with mung beans later, so I still need to learn?"

Feng Weiguo smiled: "I'm not learning this, I'm learning another kind of Shanxi dessert called Wenxi Boiled Cake, which is the king of Shanxi desserts."

Wenxi cooking cake?

Xu Zhuo asked in surprise, "Boiled?"

Feng Weiguo shook his head: "No, deep-fried. Shanxi people are used to saying fried is boiled. If you want to learn, I will teach you later."

Xu Zhuo naturally agreed. He was very interested in this kind of food that he had never seen before, so he didn't refuse after hearing Feng Weiguo's words.

But I don't have time to learn this week, because I'm going out to dig wild vegetables soon.

It's hard to be able to accompany the old lady once, but I can't let other things delay me.

He was about to tell Feng Weiguo, but the old man spoke first: "I've been teaching Xingwang how to make pasta and cakes for the past few days. Let's talk about it when I'm not busy in a few days."

Ok?

He actually left me aside because of Guo Xingwang.

It seems that the reward for accepting the apprentice is almost here.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhuo suddenly felt that the task of that crab had to be speeded up. This year, he had to finish all the leftover tasks, and next year he would work hard for a year, and strive to buy the courtyard house in the year after!

Chapter 966 The Unavoidable Task

Two hours later, Xu Zhuo came to the cold storage and brought out the pea yellow that had solidified.

The solidified pea yellow is bright yellow in color and looks translucent, so people can't help but want to eat it.

Xu Zhuo cut a piece, like cutting jelly.

It was so cold that it couldn't smell anything.

But when Xu Zhuo put it into his mouth and tasted it, he was still amazed.

Xu Zhuo knew that the pea yellow was delicate and smooth in the mouth, with a little bit of Q-bomb. After careful tasting, he could taste the sweetness and the unique aroma of peas.

Moreover, pea yellow was a bit cool, which made Xu Zhuo, who felt a little hot because of his busy work, feel much refreshed.

Especially the ulcers in the mouth caused by getting angry, I feel that most of them healed up immediately.

After eating a piece of pea yellow, Xu Zhuo smacked his lips, full of emotion.

Or people in the palace will eat it.

Spring is originally relatively dry, and eating this pea yellow in the mouth can just remove the dryness.

Xu Zhuo cut the peas into diamond-shaped pieces with a kitchen knife, arranged them fancy on the plate, and invited Guan Junjie and others to come and taste them.

Soon, news that Pea Yellow was about to be launched in the store spread throughout the back kitchen and the front desk.

Xu Zhuo cut off a piece of pea yellow in the tray and drove it to the old lady, and let the waiters share the rest.

When it’s new, you have to let the waiters eat first.

So that customers don't know how to describe the taste when they ask.

The weekend is coming, the temperature is even higher, Xu Zhuo drove the car, took the old lady Yu Keke and Xiong Zai who insisted on following, and went to the suburbs to dig wild vegetables together.

Although people who live in urban areas still miss wild vegetables, it is not easy to actually dig them once.

Either get together and go to the park, or drive to the suburban countryside.

But these days, even suburban villages are being developed, and it is not easy to find a wasteland with wild vegetables.

Fortunately, the provincial capital is close to the Yellow River. On both sides of the levee, it is easy to find wasteland full of weeds and wild vegetables.

After the car got on the embankment of the Yellow River, the old lady was still sitting in the back row, talking to Yu Keke about the past of eating wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.

Taking advantage of the two women's inattention, Xiong Zai jumped to the front row, and lay down behind the windshield, staring straight at the outside, feeling strange about everything.

But it is too big, and those who didn't know it thought there was a large lucky cat on the passenger seat.

Last year's weeds had gone through a winter of frost, rain and snow, and they were somewhat rotten, but when you peeled away this layer of rotten weeds, you could see the newly germinated plants.

Among these new plants are the wild vegetables that we are looking for today.

When we arrived at a place where the weeds were relatively dense, Xu Zhuo parked the car on the side of the road, and several people got out of the car together.

The old lady was wearing the Adidas casual shoes that Yu Keke bought her, holding a shovel and a plastic bag bought from the supermarket an hour ago, and took two young people who didn't know anything about wild vegetables and a fat cat into the wild grass .

There are no villages nearby, and Xu Zhuo has been driving on the embankment for a long time, this wasteland has not yet been occupied by the group of wild vegetable diggers in the city.

It made today's treasure hunt go very smoothly.

Holding a shovel, the old lady swiftly dug up a plant from the ground and put it into a bag. She smiled and said, "This is shepherd's purse. It was a good thing for life when it was green and yellow in the early years."

Xu Zhuo remembered the appearance of the shepherd's purse, and began to look for it under his feet.

Yu Keke also picked up the small hoe and began to attack the vegetation on the ground.

result……

"Grandma, look at what I dug, can you eat it?"

"That's dogtail grass, you can't eat it."

"Grandma, do you think this is edible?"

"That's goosegrass, for feeding cattle and sheep."

"Grandma, can this be eaten?"

"That's a mandala. If you eat it, you'll get food poisoning... Keke, stop digging, go and watch the bear, and don't let it run around and lose it."

Well, for the health of the whole family, it's better to stop this girl's behavior.

It saves her from putting everything she digs into the bag.

Xu Zhuo and the old lady searched around in the wasteland. Besides shepherd's purse, there were also various wild vegetables with weird names such as mother-in-law ding, yinchen, diqian, and dilong.

Until the sunset on the western mountain, several people returned with a full load.

When you get home, take out the wild vegetables and pick them out, pick out the weeds that were put in the bag by mistake, and then sort the wild vegetables according to the category.

While doing this, the old lady is still interested, and even while busying, she is talking about the elm money and Sophora japonica flowers, and if she wants to eat, she will have to wait for a while.

She couldn't wait any longer.

In addition, there are fewer and fewer places to dig wild vegetables. In a few decades, I am afraid that even if you want to eat wild vegetables, you will not be able to eat them.

Xu Zhuo thinks this is the reason, but it's not that the wild vegetables will become extinct, but that in a few decades, no one will know the weeds in the field, which ones can be eaten and which ones can't.

After the wild vegetables are picked, they need to be washed repeatedly in the pool, and then processed according to the most suitable eating method of the wild vegetables.

For example, those suitable for steaming, such as mother-in-law Ding and Yinchen, are mixed with dry powder for steaming.

For those that are suitable for blanching and cold dressing, just blanch them.

There are also some that are suitable for making soup, so just stir in some noodles and make wild vegetable soup later.

The specially selected shepherd's purse was specially packed by the old lady.

Today, a part of it is chopped and mixed with eggs, and spread into shepherd's purse egg pancakes.

The rest will be chopped and mixed into the meat stuffing tomorrow, and wrapped into shepherd's purse dumplings.

If there is any meat filling left, steam some shepherd's purse steamed stuffed buns or shepherd's purse steamed buns.

Soon, these wild vegetables were clearly arranged.

Xu Zhuo and the old man started to work in the kitchen, while the old lady sat in the living room, rubbing her sore knees, lamenting that time was not forgiving. In the early years, she could dig dozens of catties of shepherd's purse by herself.

After Xu Zhuo steamed all the vegetables to be steamed, he chopped up the washed shepherd's purse, then cracked a few eggs, put the chopped shepherd's purse in, added a teaspoon of salt, stirred well, and prepared to spread the omelette.

Heat up the pan, pour oil into it, hold the pan and let the oil in it swirl on the bottom of the pan a few times, when the oil is hot, Xu Zhuo pours the beaten eggs into the pan.

Spread the egg liquid with a spatula, and the aroma of eggs and shepherd's purse floats out of the pot.

At about the same time, Xu Zhuo turned the pot upwards, and the omelette in the pot turned over in the air, and then landed firmly in the pot.

The perfect flipping spoon.

After frying until golden on both sides, Xu Zhuo turned off the heat and put the perfect shepherd's purse omelet on a plate.

The old man is also very quick to cook, cold salad, boiled, steamed vegetables, pimple soup...

All kinds of wild vegetables and delicacies were brought out from the kitchen, making Chen Guifang and Xu Wenhai who came after hearing the news very hungry.

"It's dinner time!"

Yu Keke yelled without any credit, and couldn't wait to sit on the seat, staring at the wild vegetables in front of him.

The old lady took out the pea yellow that was left in the refrigerator, and said that it was made by her good grandson, and she would eat a few yuan every meal.

Xu Zhuo didn't care about it at first, but when the old lady took a piece of pea yellow with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth, the system's notification sound also sounded in her mind at the right time.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden task [Pea Yellow], and a special reward for the D-level signature skill Wenxi Cooking Cake."

Xu Zhuo:? ? ? ?

The task that was not triggered when the old lady said she wanted to eat pea yellow was turned into a hidden task?

I really can't hide.

However, the reward given by the system is also interesting, it is Feng Weiguo who wants to teach himself how to cook cakes.

This……

Grandpa Feng, it's not that I don't cooperate with you to pretend to be aggressive, it's because the system doesn't allow it!

Chapter 967 Shepherd's Purse Pork Dumplings

The whole family was very satisfied with this dinner today.

Every dish looks very simple, but when you eat it, the delicious taste is like eating the whole spring into your stomach.

In the past, we ate wild vegetables to satisfy our hunger, but now we eat wild vegetables to try something new.

This kind of delicacy fascinated the whole family. Chen Guifang even kept asking the old lady if she would go digging wild vegetables tomorrow, and if she did, she would go out with her for an outing.

For those who sit in the office for a long time, when they think of the outdoor scenery in the Yellow River beach, they will be fascinated unconsciously.

It's just a pity that the weather forecast said that there will be light rain tomorrow, so Chen Guifang's trip to dig wild vegetables will be suspended for a while.

"It's okay, wait until it rains before we go, our whole family will definitely be able to dig more and more delicious wild vegetables."

The old lady was in high spirits, and she didn't care about the soreness caused by digging wild vegetables today. If it wasn't for the rain tomorrow, she would even want to dig again.

Xu Zhuo watched the reactions of the family members and sighed softly.

Digging wild vegetables is really addictive, no wonder all the parks in the urban area are overcrowded at the moment, and even the forest park has several times more tourists than usual at the moment.

They are all for wild vegetables.

The next day, it really started to drizzle, and the air became much fresher.

At ten o'clock, Xu Zhuo finished his work, took a kitchen knife to the cold storage, cut a piece of pork belly from the pork delivered this morning, and prepared to chop stuffing.
