Food starts with noodles

For example, free-range animals in the mountains are raised by drinking mountain spring water and eating fish.

For example, after the delivery, we will always pay attention to the physical condition of the ducks to ensure that every duck served on the table is alive and kicking.

This kind of advertisement is a bit fake in normal times.

But in Xu Zhuo's live broadcast room, it is a bit natural to say it through Xu Zhuo's mouth.

After all, Xu Zhuo has the aura of a visiting professor, and he is also an expert in this field. He can attract many guests to Xiangmanlou with just a few words.

In addition, through Xu Zhuo's publicity, it was also of great help to the promotion of Xiangmanlou's reputation.

Although Yuan Desheng is already a big name in Hunan's gourmet industry, looking at the whole country, not many people know about Yuan Desheng.

And Changsha is a well-known tourist city, and countless foreigners come to travel every year.

If Xiangmanlou can stand out from the many restaurants in Changsha, the benefits and impact it will bring cannot be estimated with money.

It was also for these reasons that Yuan Kang dragged Xu Zhuo out, and had an impromptu commercial bragging against the ducks in the backyard.

After the business exchange was over, Xu Zhuo picked out a more active duck, and skillfully grabbed the duck's two wings and entered the kitchen.

Start killing ducks for duck blood.

This step is very interesting, because whether the blood duck can be made and whether it will be delicious depends on this step.

However, the process of taking duck blood was quite bloody, and it couldn't be played in the live broadcast room at all, so under Xu Zhuo's suggestion, several people who did the live broadcast all stood far away to shoot this segment.

Such vague shooting can avoid the risk of being reported and banned, and it can also let fans know that there is no fraud.

It's the best of both worlds.

Before starting to kill, Xu Zhuo took a clean empty bowl, poured some rice vinegar, some rice wine and salt into it.

Give it a stir, then place on the ground.

He held the duck's two wing roots with one hand to prevent the duck from flopping around, and at the same time held the duck's head in his hand.

Well, it's better not to let Yaya see such a bloody scene, so as not to have any nightmares.

After all, this is a baby duck.

Then, he squatted down, brought the duck's neck to the front of the bowl, held the kitchen knife in his right hand, and gently stroked the duck's neck, and the blood vessels on the neck were accurately cut open.

After cutting, do not take the knife away, but stay at the position of the blood vessel, and at the same time, the head of the kitchen knife is lowered and placed on the bowl.

In this way, the blood in the blood vessels will flow into the bowl along the kitchen knife. Compared with directly carrying the duck to drip blood into the bowl, the blood flowing into the bowl will be cleaner and will not bring duck feathers into the bowl.

After all the blood in the duck's body had flowed into the bowl, Xu Zhuo put the duck in a bucket, poured 40-degree hot water into it, and scalded the duck for about [-] seconds to facilitate plucking.

While blanching the duck, Xu Zhuo picked up the bowl on the floor, and used chopsticks to disperse the blood and rice wine and rice vinegar in the bowl like breaking eggs, so that the duck blood would not congeal into a ball.

After beating, take an empty bowl, cover the bowl with a fine mesh sieve, and then pour the whipped duck blood into it.

This not only filters the duck blood, but also allows the duck blood and rice wine and rice vinegar to blend more evenly.

After putting the duck blood aside, Xu Zhuo reached out to fish out the duck in the bucket and began to remove the feathers.

At this time, the live broadcast can be filmed. While Xu Zhuo was pulling down the duck feathers with his hands, Yuan Kang squatted aside and chatted with Xu Zhuo.

"Xu Zhuo, don't throw away the duck feathers. We have someone to collect them. It costs two or three yuan a catty."

Tsk, I was an old money fan when I opened my mouth.

Xu Zhuo didn't react for a while, and asked curiously, "What are you doing with this stuff?"

"To make down jackets, the down jackets made of duck feathers cost at least a thousand yuan, and the more expensive down jackets are made of goose down. The ones that cost hundreds of dollars are all fake down jackets. This industry is full of serious profits. industry."

Yuan Kang's attitude of wishing he could open a factory to make down jackets made Xu Zhuo dumbfounded.

Why do you want to earn money? Every industry has its own way. If you can do a good job in catering, it’s not bad. Down jackets, what’s the point of doing this?

But now Yuan Kang is a bit miserable, let alone the catering industry, he doesn't even have any management rights to his own Xiangmanlou.

So I can only use my pocket money to invest in a few good catering upstarts, be a small shareholder or something, and barely survive on hundreds of thousands of dividends every year...

He didn't have much work, he was relatively free, and this leisure was even more important. He always felt that there were problems everywhere in Xiangmanlou.

I want to rectify, but I don’t have the right to make decisions, so I can only sulking in a hurry. If I sulking this time, my mood will be even worse. I always feel that this store is throwing money out all day, and it becomes even more stingy.

Xu Zhuo didn't know what Yuan Kang was thinking, but from the indifference attitude of those people in the store, it could be seen that Yuan Kang had little say in the store.

With such a good business seed, business opportunities can be seen.

As a result, Yuan's family was disgusted everywhere.

or……

Take this guy to Sifang Restaurant?

Although there are all kinds of talents in the store now, there is no one responsible for supervision and rectification.

Everyone is moving forward along the established path, and no one realizes that it can be more economical.

At this time, Yuan Kang's role was manifested.

But if Yuan Kang went to Sifang Restaurant, Xu Zhuo would definitely not directly give him a high-ranking position, he would have to give him a general position first to see how good he is.

If he can only find faults, then forget it, let him go back where he came from.

If it really can make Sifang Restaurant better, then get him a vice president.

Xu Zhuo wasn't worried that Yuan Kang would overshadow the sky in Sifang Restaurant, because this kid would definitely seize power in Xiangmanlou in the end, and he probably didn't like the size of Sifang Restaurant.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhuo felt that Yuan Kang was more pleasing to his eyes.

Taking advantage of staying in Changsha these days, he has to have a good relationship with him. Maybe when he returns to the provincial capital, he will drive the big G back directly.

The feathers of ducklings are easy to pluck. After plucking the duck feathers, Xu Zhuo cleaned the duck head and feet, especially the skin on the duck feet. the taste of.

After Xu Zhuo finished these, he brought the duck to the stove, and after turning on the fire, he put the duck on top of the stove, and used the high-temperature flame to burn the hair roots on the duck skin.

No matter what kind of meat they make, whether it is chicken, duck, pork or even beef and mutton, people in Sichuan and Hunan like to use fire to remove the fishy smell of the ingredients as long as the skin of the meat is involved.

Xu Zhuo thinks that this step is very good, not only can it burn off the hair roots, but also make the skin of the meat firmer and taste better.

After searing the duck skin, Xu Zhuo washed the duck, put the duck on the cutting board, and grabbed the kitchen knife to chop off the duck's back.

This is called open back.

However, unlike the essential oil back opening in a massage shop, the duck back opening is to chop the entire spine of the duck.

This will not only help remove the internal organs of the duck, but also better clean out the remaining blood clots in the duck meat.

Moreover, opening the back is more convenient when chopping duck pieces than opening the body.

After opening the duck's back, Xu Zhuo conveniently removed the duck's buttocks and some nearby connective tissue.

The duck butt has a strong fishy smell, so it can't be left, otherwise the pot will be full of the fishy smell of duck.

Then, Xu Zhuo took out all the internal organs of the duck with his hands.

Yuan Kang approached attentively with a small basin, motioning for Xu Zhuo to put it in the basin.

"Duck viscera is a good thing. Not only are heart liver and gizzards delicious, duck intestines are also super delicious when cooked, so don't throw them away."

Xu Zhuo felt that Yuan Kang should be the most able to live in a rich family.

Thinking about Yu Keke's lavish behavior before, and thinking about his heroism in spending a lot of money for the game, he really can't compare with Yuan Kang.

But thinking of the car driven by Yuan Kang, Boss Xu, who originally thought the family was pretty good, suddenly felt like a lemon.

Big G, the standard configuration for tough guys.

In the future, if you have money, you must buy one!

After taking out the internal organs, Xu Zhuo put the duck in clean water and washed the abdominal cavity twice.

Then he picked up the kitchen knife, cut off the duck's feet first, and then chopped the duck into small pieces about two centimeters.

When he chopped duck pieces, he was so fast that not only the people on the scene were dumbfounded, but even the people in the live broadcast room couldn't believe their eyes.

On the bullet screen, people kept asking if the accelerator was turned on.

Holding the phone, Yu Keke stared at Xu Zhuo worriedly while shooting the video, for fear that he would chop it off.

But after Xu Zhuo finished chopping the duck pieces, the girl immediately intercepted the video with great interest, and sent it to Moments and groups to start pretending.

Xu Zhuo's beautiful knife skills also made the people in the back kitchen of Xiangmanlou dare not underestimate him.

Although chopping duck pieces is a very simple job, it can chop duck pieces evenly and quickly, and even chatted and laughed with Yuan Kang while chopping.

This is really capable.

No wonder he was able to become a visiting professor at such a young age, he must have worked hard in private.

After the duck pieces are chopped, soak them in clean water.

Taking advantage of this time, Xu Zhuo began to prepare the side dishes for the blood duck.

The most important ingredient of fried blood duck is young ginger, which is young ginger.

Ducks are cold, and the humidity in Hunan is relatively heavy, so the habit of making ducks here is to add more ginger, one is to remove the coldness of duck meat, and the other is to make people sweat and expel moisture from the body.

Therefore, when making blood duck, you must put more ginger, so that the taste is authentic.

Xu Zhuo washed the young ginger, cut it into small pieces, and put it in a bowl for later use.

In addition to ginger, green and red peppers, dried peppers and millet peppers are also used to make blood duck.

The spiciness of this dish can be adjusted freely, and there are no strict rules, so when Xu Zhuo made it, he didn't put much millet pepper and dried chili. He was worried that the spiciness was too high, and he and Yu Keke couldn't eat it.

Although Xu Zhuo enjoys the process of cooking, if the dishes he makes cannot be eaten by himself, then forget it.

Boss Xu has no intention of being a green leaf.

After the chili was chopped, Xu Zhuo prepared sliced ​​shallots and garlic.

After everything was ready, he took the duck out of the water and started to prepare it.

There is a trick to making fried blood duck, don't blanch it, otherwise the duck meat will not taste good.

That's why we use freshly killed live ducks when making this dish, just to make the duck meat fresher, so fresh that it can be cooked directly without blanching.

The pot was heated up, and Xu Zhuo poured some camellia oil into it.

The most classic way to make this dish is to use tea oil to make the aroma of tea leaves fresh and make the duck taste more delicious.

After the oil was hot, Xu Zhuo first put two star anises and a piece of cinnamon into the pot. After the aroma wafted out, he poured the water-controlled duck pieces into the pot and started to stir-fry.

This step is very important, don't be in a hurry, be sure to stir-fry slowly to get out the moisture in the duck meat, which will also make the duck meat firm and tender.

When the water vapor in the pot disappears, the turbid soup at the bottom of the pot turns into fat again, and when the surface of the duck meat is slightly browned, it means that the duck has been fried.

Xu Zhuo poured the prepared onion, ginger, garlic and dried chili and millet pepper into the pot, and continued to stir-fry.

This step is to stir the aroma of the young ginger into the duck meat, so you can’t add water at this time, just keep stirring.

Xu Zhuo waited until the aroma of onion, ginger and garlic wafted out of the pot, then Xu Zhuo began to add ingredients to the pot.

First pour a large spoonful of rice wine into the pot. When the wine steams, it also takes away the peculiar smell of the duck.

Stir-fry a few times, and when the alcohol evaporates almost, Xu Zhuo pours light soy and dark soy sauce into the pot to add a base flavor and color to the duck.

Then, Xu Zhuo began to add broth to the pot.

You don’t need too much broth, just submerge the duck meat a little bit, because the soup needs to be collected at the end of this dish.

Xu Zhuo covered the pot and simmered on medium heat for 15 minutes.

After the stew is finished, it's time to make the most important step of making a blood duck—dripping duck blood.

In the words of netizens, this step is...

Infuse the soul.

Chapter 985 Dangerous!People are going to collapse

After 15 minutes, Xu Zhuo lifted the lid of the pot, and a seductive aroma evaporated from the pot.

The duck meat itself has a strong fragrance, and the young duck used today is tender and easy to cook, and it does not have the fishy smell of the old duck, so the fragrance is very strong, and all the people present are a little intoxicated.

"Xu Zhuo, shouldn't it be bloody?"
