Food starts with noodles

Fermented bean curd meat, as the name suggests, is meat made of fermented bean curd, so when making sauces, fermented bean curd should be the main ingredient.

According to the amount of meat, Xu Zhuo first put four pieces of red bean curd into the bowl, and then poured half a bowl of fermented bean curd juice, which is the soup in the fermented bean curd jar.

Use a small spoon to press the fermented bean curd in the bowl into a puree, and then use the spoon to evenly stir the fermented bean curd paste and fermented bean curd juice, so that the fermented bean curd in the bowl becomes a slightly thick sauce.

After stirring evenly, Xu Zhuo put cooking wine, sugar, dark soy sauce, and light soy sauce into the bowl in turn.

Because fermented bean curd and light soy sauce contain salt, there is no need to add additional salt to the sauce.

Stir the sauce until smooth and set aside.

After the meat was cooked, Xu Zhuo took the meat out of the pot and put it on the cutting board to cool.

By the way, use a steel needle to poke holes in the pork skin to let the fat in the pork skin flow out.

Until the pork belly cools down, spread a layer of honey evenly on the pork skin.

In fact, dark soy sauce, white vinegar and maltose can also be applied, because this is used to color the pork. After these kinds of seasonings are applied to the pork skin and fried, it will make the pork skin appear maroon.

However, there are also differences. The meat skin fried with white vinegar is more crispy, while the skin of dark soy sauce will be darker, and it will have a slight sauce flavor.

As for honey and maltose, it will make the skin slightly sweet.

Several seasonings are different, but Xu Zhuo thought that his daughter-in-law likes to eat sweet, so he put honey on it.

Although this meat is for everyone to eat together, it must also reflect the preference for their own daughter-in-law.

Women like this kind of little surprise and little romance.

Putting his thoughts away, Xu Zhuo set up a pan to heat up the oil and prepared to fry the meat.

In fact, deep-fried meat is not a necessary step in making buckwheat, but it cannot be denied that if the skin is fried until soft and then steamed, not only will the taste be better, but the soft skin will also absorb a little bit of the soup in the meat The juice becomes soft and delicious.

When the oil was [-]% hot, Xu Zhuo put the pork belly skin-side down into the pot.

After putting it in, quickly cover the pot to prevent being scalded by the splashed boiling oil.

Even though Xu Zhuo has fried meat so many times and has rich experience, but every time he fried meat, he would handle it carefully, lest the hot oil splash on his body.

After all, it is a dangerous behavior to put meat pieces in hot oil for frying.

Especially when frying meat in a small pot or a small amount of oil, the danger is higher.

When the hot oil in the pan is no longer thumping, it means that the skin of the meat has been fried through and can be fished out.

Xu Zhuo turned off the fire first, then lifted the lid of the pot, and quickly scooped out the pieces of meat in the pot with a colander.

After draining the oil, use a kitchen knife to cut the meat into thick slices about one centimeter.

In fact, in Shanxi, there are also meat cut into mahjong pieces, so that when the meat is steamed, it will look like stewed meat with dried vegetables, which looks more pompous and can stimulate people's appetite.

However, the traditional method is to cut the meat into large slices and place them neatly in a bowl.

When eating, put it in steamed buns or lotus leaf cakes, not to mention how fragrant it is.

Xu Zhuo put the cut meat slices in a basin, then poured the prepared fermented bean curd juice into it, stirred the meat slices and the sauce evenly with his hands, and then covered them with plastic wrap to marinate for a while.

This step is mainly to let the fermented bean curd juice seep into the meat slices.

After half an hour, tear off the plastic wrap. At this time, there is basically no fermented bean curd juice in the pot.

Arrange the meat, skin side down, in the steaming bowl.

If you like to eat with soup, you can pour a little pork bone broth into the steaming bowl.

If you like to eat mellow food, just put the steamed bowl into the steamer for steaming.

There is nothing too particular about it.

There is also a steaming cabinet in the back kitchen of Xiangmanlou. Xu Zhuo put a few bowls of steamed meat in it, set the time, and walked out of the kitchen, chatting with Li Hao, Meng Liwei and the others.

As the matter fermented, it seemed that more and more people began to pay attention to the three-layer chicken.

For Hunan cuisine, this is both a good thing and a challenge.

Because some people began to post on Weibo, asking if the three-layer chicken set is Hunan cuisine with rhythm.

Among the eight major cuisines, there are many dishes that overlap with each other, and even the main cuisine may be from other cuisines.

For example, Dongpo pork, Sichuan cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, and Zhejiang cuisine are all available, and Shandong cuisine also has dishes similar to meat.

"Xu Zhuo, what do you think this rhythmic person is trying to do? Is there any benefit?"

Li Hao ate the sugar and oil cakes brought by the waiter, and was very curious about the news on Weibo.

However, it is precisely because someone has the rhythm that a large number of fans of Hunan cuisine began to hate the rhythmic person on Weibo, and they just became popular searches.

Zhou Wen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Is this someone who is playing back? I deliberately jumped to the opposite side to provoke troubles, set up an enemy, and let the people of Hunan Cuisine gather fire to achieve the goal of fighting against the enemy."

It's really possible, but who would scold them online if they have nothing to do?

Xu Zhuo looked at Yuan Kang who was sitting in the corner and playing with his mobile phone all the time. Could it be this guy who did it?

He pretended to pour water, walked behind Yuan Kang and found that Yuan Kang was chatting with a person from a data promotion company.

"If you add more gossip, you'll be hard-pressed on those who praise the deliciousness of Hunan cuisine, and push up those comments that criticize Hunan cuisine. The more quarreling on Weibo, the more rewards you will get."

Xu Zhuo was shocked when he saw the news.

Originally, he just wanted to come here to play a joke on Yuan Kang, but he didn't expect it to be this guy.

Does your grandfather know that he cares so much about Xiangmanlou?

Xu Zhuo just wanted to tell Yuan Desheng about this, but after thinking about those who criticized Hunan cuisine on Weibo, he thought it was better to forget it.

Young people know that this is a cross-dressing, but old people may not understand it.

After all, Yuan Desheng is a leading master of Hunan cuisine, and his love for Hunan cuisine is deep in his bones. He must not accept his grandson's abuse of Hunan cuisine.

Even with good intentions.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhuo patted Yuan Kang on the shoulder: "Don't be too explicit, if your cousins ​​find out, I'm afraid this matter will never end."

Yuan Kang smiled: "It's okay, it's not the first time to play like this. By the way, did Sifang Restaurant also make data on the Internet before? You can find this restaurant in the future, the price is very cheap..."

Tsk, I never forget to be stingy.

Xu Zhuo secretly complained a few words, and then said: "The fermented bean curd meat is almost ready, you can have a good time later."

When Yuan Kang heard this, he immediately stood up: "I have been busy with this just now, and you really did it for me. Xu Zhuo, you are the most righteous person I have ever met. I have decided to go back with you. Go to Sifang Restaurant to be the manager..."

Before he finished speaking, the system's notification sounded in Xu Zhuo's mind.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission [Recruitment], Sifang Restaurant has added a management talent, and a special reward for the C-level signature dish-chopped pepper fish head."

--------

The third watch is finally completed, good night everyone!

Chapter 994 What is the experience of ordering other people's takeaway at your own restaurant?

After listening to the system's notification tone, Xu Zhuo unconsciously raised his head again and looked at the chubby Changsha guy in front of him.

He just went to Sifang Restaurant to be a manager, how did he trigger the hidden mission of recruiting and buying and selling?

And the skill given is C-level chopped pepper fish head.

Could it be that Yuan Kang is very helpful to him?

Xu Zhuo thought carefully about Yuan Kang's words and deeds in the Sifang Restaurant. He didn't know if he could help him, but it was true that he would probably be beaten up.

After all, the benefits of Sifang Restaurant are very good, and they have never talked about saving money.

As for Yuan Kang's stinginess, he is afraid that he will cut off a series of things that waste money.

This will make the employees who are accustomed to being extravagant especially uncomfortable.

However, if a company wants to become stronger and bigger, it must have a red-faced person who is responsible for opposing the employees. In this way, the boss will appear to be kind and tall.

If the boss goes off to manage the employees in person, it is easy to give people a sense of deception.

Well, that's the balance of business.

Boss Xu knows a little bit.

It was a surprise for Xu Zhuo to get the fish head with chopped peppers. The saved time is to concentrate on learning, so that he can learn other dishes calmly later.

For example, the Dong'an chicken in Hunan cuisine that was once served at a state banquet.

An hour later, Xu Zhuo came to the kitchen, opened the steamer, and took out the fermented bean curd meat inside.

As soon as the door of the steaming cabinet was opened, a strong scent of fermented bean curd gushed out from the steaming cabinet.

This fragrance is mixed in the billowing steam, making people feel as if they are in the cloud of fermented bean curd meat.

The aroma of fermented bean curd is very special, it smells like wine, but it has more sauce than wine, and the unique aroma of tofu.

Coupled with the aroma of pork, this taste is really good.

In the words of the Central Plains: it is very vigorous.

Xu Zhuo made several bowls of meat today, and he divided them into two types: those with soup and those without.

After all, I don’t know everyone’s taste, so make more and eat whatever you want.

In fact, the fermented bean curd meat will taste even better if it is steamed again.

Many families in the north make a lot at one time. After steaming for the first time, store it in the refrigerator, and steam it again when you want to eat it, so that the meat will become more rotten and combine better with the fermented bean curd.

It tastes more delicious.

But today it was just to try something new, and Xu Zhuo also wanted to show off his skills, so he made these fermented bean curd meat.

But unexpectedly, a piece of fermented bean curd meat won Yuan Kang's heart, and Xu Zhuo was somewhat overjoyed.

After bringing the fermented bean curd meat to the private room, it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Hao smelled the aroma, and immediately became greedy: "Where are the steamed buns? Are there any steamed buns? This dish is only authentic when eaten with steamed buns."

These words immediately aroused Yuan Kang's sense of approval: "Yes, yes, the most classic way to eat fermented bean curd meat is to sandwich it in steamed buns. I'll ask someone to buy it later."

Xu Zhuo thought that he was going to arrange for the employees in the store to go out to buy.

It turned out that he actually took his mobile phone and opened the Meituan takeaway...

"If someone buys it, you have to give it a favor. You have to give a red envelope no matter what. It's more cost-effective to order takeaway, and it will be delivered quickly, and you don't need to owe favors."

He paused for a moment, then muttered: "Now this takeaway is really a chicken thief, and the steamed buns are not allowed to be ordered separately, so I will add two side dishes, just for you to taste the taste of other restaurants, and make a meal with our Xiangmanlou Compared."

While operating, Yuan Kang talked about his takeaway experience.

For example, if you don't get a la carte, just order a side dish, and that's it.

If you order a large amount of takeaway and the price is relatively high, you can contact the store by phone, bypassing the takeaway platform order, so that the store will earn more money and customers will also get benefits.

The best of both worlds.

In addition, you must be good at using red envelopes, and you must use all kinds of full gifts.

In terms of spending money, everyone in the private room is a talent, after all, they are all masters who are not short of money.

But when it comes to saving money, everyone here is younger than Yuan Kang.

For example, now, Yuan Kang ordered a bunch of steamed buns and two side dishes for less than 20 yuan, and everyone was dumbfounded.

This is probably...talent, right?

In order to prevent the fermented bean curd meat from getting cold and unpalatable due to the late delivery, Yuan Kang diligently sent the fermented bean curd meat to the kitchen and kept it warm in a steamer.

By the way, I ordered a few more stir-fries.

After all, there are so many guests today that we can't make do with it.

After 10 minutes, Xiangmanlou, which entered the evening peak, was full of guests, and many people were waiting at the entrance.

Yuan Desheng and several leaders of the Hunan Cuisine Chefs Alliance were laughing and chatting in the lobby. Tomorrow there will be a three-tiered chicken set, so everyone came to join in the show.

By the way, let's take a look at the sales of three-layer chicken sets. If possible, then my own store will follow suit.

Anyway, this heat is not in vain.

At this moment, their people have not yet arrived, so Yuan Desheng decided to wait in the lobby for a while, and then go to the private room to catch up and chat together.
