Food starts with noodles

Cough, just kidding.

Xu Zhuo brought two spoons, handed one to Feng Weiguo, and took one for himself.

"Grandpa Feng, I heard that the delicious tiger skin elbow can be eaten with a spoon. Let's try it with a spoon today to see how the elbow tastes."

Feng Weiguo took it, put the spoon on the elbow like digging a watermelon, and then turned it gently, and a piece of elbow meat with skin was filled out.

Not to mention the taste, just looking at this point, it shows that Xu Zhuo's elbows are very good and pass the test.

Feng Weiguo blew, put the elbow into his mouth when his mouth was about to burn, and sipped it lightly, without chewing much at all, the piece of meat had already melted.

It is not difficult to make the elbows melt in the mouth, as long as the heat is up.

But there are not many that are so complete in appearance.

For a while, Feng Weiguo didn't know how to praise Xu Zhuo, he just pointed out a few words casually, this kid was able to do this.

awesome.

He really deserves to be the grandson of Big Brother Xu, it really is not ordinary.

After Feng Weiguo tasted it, Xu Zhuo took a spoon and put it into his mouth.

The outer skin is powdery and soft, the fat meat inside melts in the mouth, and the lean meat at the bottom is also juicy.

Typical fat but not greasy, thin but not firewood.

In terms of taste, the slight sweetness in the soup, the aroma and saltiness of the ingredients that have completely penetrated into the meat, and the aroma and umami of the meat itself are intertwined, making people have an endless aftertaste.

The perfect texture is matched with the perfect taste. It can be said that this tiger skin elbow is definitely a gospel for meat lovers.

Even people who don't like to eat fatty meat will fall in love with this dish after just one bite.

For people who don't eat fat meat, this kind of elbow may feel very greasy at first sight and difficult to swallow.

In fact, when you really eat it, you can taste the refreshing feeling of oil splashing in your mouth.

Just like when I ate braised pork for the first time, I always felt that such fatty meat could not be eaten at all, but after I really ate it, I would know that some dishes have to be so fatty.

If this kind of dish is really lean and fat, it will be called unpalatable.

Bring out this elbow for everyone to taste, and then Xu Zhuo and several other chefs worked together to process all the remaining elbows, poured sauce, and brought them to the table for everyone to taste.

When it was first served, the men almost stretched out their chopsticks to take a bite or two, and even the chefs in the back kitchen discussed the taste while eating.

But the waiters hesitated a little.

They worried that such a greasy elbow would make their stomachs sick.

But if you don't eat it, you feel that the boss's painstaking efforts have been wasted.

After all, this is the delicacy made by the boss himself.

Xu Zhuo saw the hesitation of these people, and immediately said: "Whoever eats the elbow will get the red envelope, try it quickly, if you want to eat again tomorrow, you will have to pay for it."

Of course, he didn't want to tease the waiters, but felt that if they didn't taste it, they couldn't introduce the taste and texture of the dishes to customers.

So I stimulated everyone by sending out red envelopes.

Well, anyway, it's almost May Day, so it's true to give everyone red envelopes or something.

Provoked by Xu Zhuo, almost all the girls present tried to put a little bit of elbow skin into their mouths, and they looked sad at first.

But after eating it...

"Eh? This elbow is delicious, not greasy at all."

"That's right. I used to feel like throwing up when I ate fatty meat, but this fat meat seems to melt in my mouth. It's so delicious."

The waiters began to taste the elbow. After eating a piece, not only did they not feel enough, but they stimulated their appetite.

As the proprietress, Yu Keke tasted a piece of elbow half-believingly, then immediately picked a smaller one and put it aside, and challenged a pig for three bites...

No, it was the unprecedented feat of eating an elbow alone.

But in the end, the girl still didn't finish eating, she felt tired after peeling off the skin of the elbow, and Le Diandian brought the elbow to Xu Zhuo, and sat beside Xu Zhuo, grabbing the braised chicken in Xu Zhuo's bowl.

"Coco, let's go to Changsha on May Day?"

Yu Keke looked at Xu Zhuo blankly, a little surprised by the sudden travel plan.

Xu Zhuo took the opportunity to take back the chicken nuggets that the girl had snatched, and said while eating, "I've been cooking every day, and I'm so busy that I'm dizzy. impossible."

The reason why he chose Changsha, of course, Xu Zhuo would not say that he wanted to eat the crayfish there, but went to taste the delicious food in the name of collecting folk songs.

When he was in college, he went to Changsha.

At that time, I was watching "Bite of the Tongue", and I was very interested in the taste of shrimp, but after waiting in line for a long time, the taste was a bit unsatisfactory.

It's not that it's not delicious, it's that it doesn't have the amazing feeling mentioned in the video.

In addition, it was very hot in Changsha at that time, so he tried stinky tofu and a bowl of rice noodles before returning home in a hurry.

Generally speaking, the gourmet visit was a bit unsuccessful, but looking back now, it may be caused by not finding a good store.

So Xu Zhuo planned to visit again, and also visited Yuan Desheng by the way.

This master of Hunan cuisine is also very good. He has mastered some Hunan cuisine recipes. This time, he will learn some Hunan cuisine recipes.

Among other things, at least you have to get the practice of chopping fish head with pepper.

Although Xu Zhuo can cook now, but he only masters the entry level, and there is no such dish in the store, so it is dispensable.

But if he can learn it, Xu Zhuo naturally wants to introduce this highly profitable and unpopular dish in restaurants.

Yu Keke didn't have much objection to going out to collect folk songs.

She tilted her head and thought about it. It seems that Changsha also has a lot of delicious food.

What kind of stinky tofu rice noodles and various other snacks, you can check in one by one.

But you can't eat casually, you have to ask a local person.

Thinking of this, Yu Keke turned on her mobile phone and asked Xu Zhuo's fan group if there were any friends in Changsha, and wanted to inquire about the more authentic and delicious food in Changsha.

As a result, this question caused a lot of noise in the group.

Because half of the people in Changsha said that they should never go to Wenheyou, but the other half of the friends said that they must go to Wenheyou once when they come to Changsha.

To be exact, I went to line up once, so that I have come to Changsha.

The two parties expressed their opinions, which instead made Yu Keke interested in Wenheyou.

It should be worth visiting a place where even the locals struggle and hesitate, right?

…………

After the tiger-skin elbow was newly released in the store, a group of customers came to evaluate it immediately.

Nowadays, many people stare at Sifang Restaurant. Whenever there is a new dish or something, someone will come to review it, or make a video, or write an article. Anyway, it will always get a lot of clicks.

Xu Zhuo didn't object either. Instead, he specifically told the waiters in the shop that they should be more polite when they meet such people, and that they should give them some side dishes.

After all, you don't reach out and hit the smiling face.

Even if the other party is picky, in such a situation, even if they won't change the limelight, at least they will be more polite.

Of course, if they came here specifically to find trouble, then Xu Zhuo would not be polite to them.

Anyway, you can greet me with a lawyer's letter or something.

The comments from this group of people, together with Xu Zhuo's specially filmed VLOG of making tiger skin knuckles, and Meng Liwei and Li Hao also came over to eat two knuckles.

Tiger Skin Elbow's reputation has been well established.

Some people even take the high-speed rail to come to the provincial capital to check in.

The restaurant's business is very good, and it has almost become a check-in place for all kinds of internet celebrities in the provincial capital. Some people are very worried that Sifang Restaurant will also have a short-lived ending like an internet celebrity shop.

Xu Zhuo is very sure of this, Sifang Restaurant will not go bankrupt even if it becomes a popular online shop.

After all, the goal is to open a store in the capital, and the current achievements cannot satisfy Boss Xu's ambition.

Well, to be precise, it is the ambition of the system.

When it comes to May [-]st, it will arrive.

On the eve of the May Day holiday, Guo Xingwang drove a domestic SUV given to him by Guo Shuying, took Feng Weiguo and Shi Lei along the highway to Shanxi, and started his journey to explore the noodle kingdom.

And Xu Zhuo also followed Yu Keke on the high-speed train to Changsha.

On the way, Yu Keke began to use WeChat to organize articles and friends, and at the same time make a very detailed itinerary.

Going to Huogong Palace, Pozi Street, Confucian Temple Ping, Wuyi Square and other places to check in, and even made reservations for several restaurants.

The past few months at work have turned this girl into a well-organized professional woman.

This was quite reassuring for Xu Zhuo, but after seeing Yu Keke's itinerary, he hesitated.

"Can you really get up at six o'clock in the morning to line up in front of the rice noodle shop?"

Xu Zhuo is very clear about this girl's ability to sleep late.

Usually, he had been working in the store for several hours before Yu Keke got out of the taxi sleepily, and then went upstairs to the office to do her work.

It's still like this at work, so I'm afraid I won't get up early when I go out to play, right?

But it’s good for her to be happy. Anyway, this time I went to Changsha to eat. The more delicacies I ate, the more I could understand the city and its customs.

After arriving in Changsha, the two took a taxi to the hotel where they were staying, put down their luggage, changed into thinner clothes, and then set off for Wen Heyou.

See if it's possible to eat the delicious food inside before dark.

When we arrived at Wenheyou, Xu Zhuo saw people queuing up from afar.

It's not yet the holiday time, and it's not the weekend, so there are still so many people waiting in line.

Yu Keke looked at the online queuing situation, and there were still two to three hundred tables of guests ahead, although there were quite a few, but considering Wen Heyou's reception capacity, it shouldn't be too long.

Sure enough, after Xu Zhuo accompanied her to Chayanyuese and queued up to buy two cups of cold drinks, it was almost time to go in.

Before Xu Zhuo came, he checked on the Internet. He was very curious about this [-] million and the largest crayfish restaurant in Asia. It was just a place to eat crayfish. How did it cost so much money?

After entering, I saw the 80s-style furnishings and decoration, the handwritten door and various retro equipment, as if I had traveled back decades.

The layout inside is a bit like the Kowloon Walled City in old movies.

In fact, this is not only a restaurant, but also more than 20 stores in the 90s, such as barber shops and game halls, just like going to a shopping mall.

From this point alone, Xu Zhuo felt that the trip was worthwhile.

After finding a seat, the two began to order food.

The menu for ordering is also designed in the style of the 80s.

These details gave Xu Zhuo a lot of inspiration.

When I go to the capital in the future, if Yu Keke’s grandma is still doing the design, I must bring the old lady here to have a look, and try to design a restaurant full of personality.

The signature crayfish is definitely a must, and stinky tofu, lard bibimbap and so on are also ordered.

The food was served very quickly. The two didn't eat much on the high-speed rail. They just had a cold drink while queuing outside.

Now that the food was on the table, the two put on their gloves and ate the crayfish.

"Wow, this shrimp is so spicy!"

Yu Keke took the crayfish and sucked the soup habitually, but was overwhelmed by the strong spicy taste.

I am used to eating in restaurants, and the spiciness is moderate.

But now I am eating Hunan cuisine, and the spicy taste hits my head.

Yu Keke just sucked the soup, and the sweat on his forehead was hot.

Xu Zhuo was slightly better, but he also felt that it was really spicy.

However, after peeling the crayfish and putting the shrimp meat into the mouth, the deliciousness of the shrimp meat and the hot taste make it quite refreshing to eat.

After all, people who have experienced it in Rongcheng are more or less used to spicy food.

The spiciness of Changsha is different from that of Rongcheng. Rongcheng is spicy, even more numb than spicy, but Changsha is spicy, which is more in line with the eating habits of northerners.

Eating all kinds of delicacies here, chatting about the next itinerary, the two sips were completely immersed in the rhythm of travel.

After eating and drinking enough, the two took pictures inside, Jiugongge posted it on Moments, and then came out hand in hand, just about to take a taxi back to the hotel for a rest, and then visit the night market later in the evening.

As a result, Xu Zhuo's cell phone rang suddenly.
