Food starts with noodles

"Grandpa Yuan, is it right for me to do this?"

Yuan Desheng said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with this, just do it, don't think too much."

Compared with those who always put fermented bean paste or chopped pepper sauce on the Internet, Xu Zhuo's is a little simpler, but Yuan Desheng didn't make any comments.

The method and everything are secondary, the most important thing about the dishes is the final product.

Taste, appearance, texture, etc., these are the key parts to consider a dish.

The pot was heated up, Xu Zhuo poured in some cooking oil, slid it in the pot, poured it out after heating up, and then added a little cooking oil into the pot.

You don't need too much oil, because some fat will come out when the meat is fried later.

After the oil was put into the pan, Xu Zhuo immediately poured the sliced ​​meat into it and started to stir-fry slowly.

This step is not only to stir-fry the excess fat in the meat slices, but also to make the meat more fragrant and chewy through stir-fry.

When the meat was stir-fried until the surface was browned and slightly curled, Xu Zhuo added some light soy sauce to the pot, stir-fried it twice, and then added some dark soy sauce to color the meat.

Then take the pot away from the stove, take out all the meat and fat in the pot, and put it on a clean plate.

Wash the pot and put it on the stove again. After the pot is heated, pour a little cooking oil. When the oil is hot, pour the minced green onion, ginger, and garlic into the pot to sauté until fragrant, then add the chopped peppers and start to stir-fry.

Stir-fry the chili until it is a little soft, and when tiger skin patterns appear on the surface, pour in the fried meat slices and start seasoning.

When making it, put the chopped peppers in the pot and stir-fry for a while. The peppers produced in this way will be more delicious, but the spiciness is too high.

So Xu Zhuo changed this step to oil frying, which can reduce some of the spicy taste.

As for the seasoning, it is simple. Put salt, oil, and sugar in it, then pour in some light soy sauce to increase the flavor of the sauce, stir fry for half a minute, pour a little vinegar along the side of the pot, continue to stir fry for a few more times and then turn it off The fire is out.

This dish looks mediocre, but it is better than fish-flavored shredded pork.

Xu Zhuo took out the dishes and put them in front of Yuan Desheng: "Grandpa Yuan, try this dish and see how well it's done."

Yuan Desheng didn't put his chopsticks down immediately, but first expressed his own opinion: "Your approach is right, but the spiciness will be reduced.

In addition, your method requires high ingredients.

It must be fresh pork. If you take out frozen meat from the refrigerator, if you keep stir-frying it in the pot without any seasoning, the fried meat will definitely be unpalatable. "

After saying this, Yuan Desheng took his chopsticks and tasted Xu Zhuo's stir-fried pork.

The meat is firm and spicy, and there is nothing to criticize in terms of taste. It is definitely a good dish.

However, Yuan Desheng also gave Xu Zhuo his own suggestion: "Son, next time you make it, at the last step of adding light soy sauce, you can change it to steamed fish soy sauce, so that the umami taste will be stronger and it will be more delicious."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhuo heard the system's notification tone again.

"Ding, the host has listened to the teachings of the master, and the boutique-level fried pork has been specially upgraded to a D-level signature fried pork. Congratulations to the host."

Chapter 981 The Essence of Hunan Cuisine

Yuan Desheng just said a word, and the dishes have been upgraded.

I used to chatter with Feng Weiguo so many times when I was cooking in the store, but I never saw an upgrade.

It can be seen that there is indeed a gap between people.

Upgrading from boutique level to D level, this step is enough for Sifang Restaurant to add a little stir-fry.

Although I didn't learn the fish head with chopped peppers, it was a worthwhile trip tonight.

As for the fish head, I will learn it in half a month at most.

Anyway, I won't stay in Changsha for a day or two before leaving, so there's no rush.

After the stir-fried pork was ready, Xu Zhuo began to serve dishes on the table, Yu Keke also ran over to help serve the rice, while Yuan Desheng lifted the steamer and brought out the fish head with chopped peppers on top.

Just now he had lifted the lid of the pot to release the steam, and then sat in the steamer for 2 minutes again.

At this moment, the room is full of the smell of chopped pepper fish head.

Then Yuan Desheng burned some hot oil and poured it on the fish head, the tempting hot and sour taste of chopped pepper rose immediately.

Really fragrant!

It's a pity that I was too full to eat at Wenheyou today, and Xu Zhuo couldn't eat it after looking at the delicious food, which made Xu Zhuo regret the impulse in the afternoon.

Although Wen Heyou's food was delicious, no matter how delicious it was, it couldn't compare to Yuan Desheng's cooking skills.

So Xu Zhuo felt a little at a loss.

Yuan Desheng steamed several dishes. In addition to the fish head with chopped peppers on the top, there are also steamed vegetables such as steamed cured meat, steamed potatoes with chopped peppers, steamed pork ribs with rice flour, etc. in the drawers on the lower floors.

Coupled with the classic Hunan dishes such as preserved pepper eggs, dry pot pork, fried bacon with dried radish, fried minced pork with capers, fried blood duck, etc., Xu Zhuo regretted eating so many crayfish even more.

Alas, I really wish I could change my stomach with Lao Meng or Li Hao.

If those two goods were here, they would definitely be able to have a full meal, right?

Ugh!

This is really... When the stomach is full, I hate it.

Looking at the delicious food, you can't eat it, you say you don't worry about people?

The table was full of dishes, and it was paired with Yuan Desheng's treasured alcoholic wine. Even if Xu Zhuo didn't drink much, he wanted to have a glass or two now.

"Grandpa Yuan, you eat what you eat, we've really eaten, so just take a few bites."

Holding the wine glass, Xu Zhuo took a small sip, then picked up a small piece of preserved egg with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

The taste is very authentic, this should be the best preserved pepper egg that Xu Zhuo has ever eaten.

It's a pity that I can't spread it and eat it, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

Yu Keke is also sighing at the dishes at the moment, and on the way here, she happily recommends Wen Heyou's meals to Sun Panpan, so that Sun Panpan must remember to try them when he travels.

But now, the girl expressed great regret.

People deserve to die compared to others, and dishes should be thrown away compared to vegetables.

Compared with Yuan Desheng's dishes, Wen Heyou's dishes, which I thought were good, immediately became less delicious.

While sighing and regretting, she complained in the group, and occasionally picked up some dishes on the table with chopsticks and put them into her mouth to chew slowly.

It can make people want to eat even when they are full of food. It is really worthy of being a master of Hunan cuisine. This level is indeed much higher than that of ordinary chefs.

After drinking for three rounds, Xu Zhuo looked at Yuan Desheng and asked, "Grandpa Yuan, can I ask you a question?"

Yuan Desheng took a sip from his wine glass and said with a smile, "Do you want to ask, why do I still live in this kind of place when I'm so rich?"

Ok?

Ning can read minds?

"Yes, yes, that's what I want to ask, Grandpa Yuan, does this place have any special meaning to you?"

Yuan Desheng smiled and did not answer this question, but asked Xu Zhuo a question: "Xiaozhuo, do you think Hunan cuisine is different from other dishes?"

Different?

Xu Zhuo seriously thought about his understanding of the eight major cuisines.

Lu cuisine is graceful and luxurious, Zhongzheng is peaceful;

Su cuisine is exquisite, elegant and unparalleled;

Sichuan cuisine is spicy and delicious, with hundreds of dishes and flavors;

Cantonese cuisine is fresh and refreshing, and learns from others;

Zhejiang cuisine is delicious, crisp and tender, and it tastes like a scene;

The selection of Anhui cuisine is simple and full-bodied;

The coastal flavor of Fujian cuisine, sweet and sour, salty and fragrant.

……

Xu Zhuo was very impressed by these cuisines, except for Hunan cuisine. Close your eyes and think about it seriously, but the most impressive thing is the fireworks.

Fireworks?

Xu Zhuo listened to the hustle and bustle outside the window, the voices of neighbors, children playing, and the cries of various snacks on the street outside, full of the atmosphere of the market.

Could this be the reason why Yuan Desheng was unwilling to leave?

Xu Zhuo tried to say these things, but Yuan Desheng was stunned.

"You child... It's fine if you have good understanding, even these things can be seen. My grandson was still not convinced before, saying that Yu Peiyong got the title of your visiting professor through the back door.

Now it seems that you deserve the name of this professor. "

He drank the fine wine in his glass, and then said: "Hunan cuisine comes from the folks, and it is full of fireworks. If you want to make Hunan cuisine well, you have to be in contact with fireworks."

The so-called pyrotechnic atmosphere is the atmosphere of the market outside.

"Hunan cuisine is different from other cuisines. Once Hunan cuisine gives up the pyrotechnics and takes the high-end route, it will not be far from closing its doors."

Yuan Desheng filled up the wine again, and explained the fundamentals of Hunan cuisine to Xu Zhuo.

Although Hunan cuisine has the same origin as Sichuan cuisine, Sichuan cuisine still has a branch of the Shanghe Gang that takes the high-end route, and no matter which branch of Hunan cuisine, it is closely related to the smell of fireworks.

Especially the food in Xiangxi, not only the cooking is full of smoke, but even the bacon they eat must be smoked with firewood to make the smoke even heavier.

"Son, you want to learn all the eight major cuisines. We all support this, and even look forward to what wonderful things you will create after you master all the eight major cuisines.

But you must pay attention when you are studying, each cuisine has its own essence, so don't get confused.

Just like the smoke and fire in Hunan cuisine, no matter what grade of restaurant, you can’t do without this essence. When you study in the future, you must also remember it and don’t forget it. "

Yuan Desheng's words made Xu Zhuo enlightened, and he had a new understanding of Hunan cuisine.

While reminiscing, the system beep sounded again.

"Ding, the host listened to the master's teachings, and the D-level signature skill Xiao Chaorou originally mastered has been specially upgraded to C-level. Congratulations to the host."

And...upgraded again.

In addition to being pleasantly surprised, Xu Zhuo also felt a little regretful.

What the fuck just wanted to learn was chopped pepper fish head, and now the skill has been upgraded to C level.

However, fried pork is also a very popular dish, and the profit is higher than that of fish head with chopped peppers. Coupled with the good sales, Xu Zhuo is slightly relieved.

After eating and drinking, Xu Zhuo and Yu Keke helped Yuan Desheng clean up, took their leave and left.

Before leaving, Yuan Desheng told Xu Zhuo where to eat tomorrow: "Xiao Zhuo, remember to go to the main store of Xiangmanlou tomorrow, and we will have a good meal then."

Chapter 982 My name is Yuan Kang, I'm very stingy

Xiangmanlou is the property of Yuan Desheng, and it is also a well-known restaurant chain in Changsha.

It can be said that if you want to eat authentic Hunan cuisine, you are absolutely right to go to Xiangmanlou.

Xu Zhuo agreed, and bid farewell to Yuan Desheng with Yu Keke. They didn't take a taxi back directly, but went to the night market on Taiping Street by the way.

Going to the night market after eating and drinking is a little different.

Because the snacks on both sides of the road can't attract interest at all, but this is good, at least you can concentrate on taking pictures.

The young couple wandered around until after nine o'clock before taking a taxi back.

Waking up the next morning, the two had a free breakfast at the restaurant of the hotel, and then planned to go to Yuelu Academy according to the strategy they found.

After all, he is a college student, even though he is a scumbag, he still has to come to this millennium academy to cultivate his sentiments, right?

The two did not choose to take a taxi today, but found a subway station nearby, intending to take the subway there.

The reason why she chose the subway was not because she went to the country to do as the Romans do, but mainly because Yu Keke, a girl who had never taken the subway before, was rather curious.

Speaking of this, this girl has a pitiful look: "Since I was young, I either took my own car or took a taxi when I went out. I have never seen the subway, so you have to teach me a lot, I hope I hope they will laugh at me many times."

For a road idiot, whenever someone makes fun of this, he feels inexplicably upset.
