Food starts with noodles

After this step was done, Xu Zhuo took the two big marinated roosters and began to fill the chicken bellies with the prepared stuffing.

Marinated pork belly, diced bacon and sausages, soaked peanuts and dried shrimps, shelled chestnuts, and salted duck egg yolk bought specially by Xu Zhuo, all stuffed into the chicken belly with glutinous rice.

After filling the stomachs of the two chickens all the way, Xu Zhuo stopped what he was doing.

After this step is done, it's time to actually make zongzi.

Almost everyone knows how to make zongzi. Just wrap the glutinous rice with zongzi leaves and wrap it with thread.

But if you want to wrap such a big zongzi, you still need a certain skill.

The first is to spread the zong leaves.

The zongzi is too big, and it needs a lot of zong leaves to wrap it up, and the zong leaves must be layered and intertwined without any gaps.

Otherwise, the zongzi made will be regarded as a failed product and cannot be cooked in a pot.

This involves the arrangement and combination of Zong leaves.

Xu Zhuo first put three hemp ropes on the workbench, with a distance of ten centimeters between each hemp rope.

Then he took the zong leaves and began to place them on the hemp rope.

This step required two people to operate, and Xu Zhuo called Guo Xingwang, who was unable to work, to help.

The two stood facing each other across the workbench, each holding a handful of zong leaves. Under Xu Zhuo's guidance, Guo Xingwang took the stalk of the zong leaves and placed the zong leaves on the hemp rope.

Xu Zhuo also held the petiole of the zong leaf, and placed the zong leaf on Guo Xingwang's piece of zong leaf, but he didn't put all of it on top of it, but slightly missed half of the leaf.

Only half of the leaves are pressed.

Then Guo Xingwang took another zong leaf and put it on Xu Zhuo's zong leaf. Just like before, he pressed half of it and kept the other half.

In this way, the zong leaves are placed staggered on the workbench, with a width of [-] centimeters.

But the zongzi are so big, and they need to be cooked in the pot for [-] hours. Two layers of zongzi leaves are obviously not enough, so Xu Zhuo re-arranged them twice, covering a total of six layers of zongzi leaves.

After laying out the zongzi leaves, it's time to put the ingredients for making zongzi.

Guo Xingwang looked at the rice dumpling leaves, and asked a question from the side: "Xu Zhuo, you said that the big rice dumpling and the beggar's chicken, who imitated whom?"

Xu Zhuo didn't know this, but as the boss, he couldn't say he didn't know.

Even if he forced an explanation, he still had to piece together an answer.

He smiled and said: "People say that the world's articles are copied. In fact, our culinary industry is also like this. We learn from each other and imitate each other. Who knows which one is the first and which is the last? Anyway, it's good enough."

Chapter 1038 Is a fifteen-pound zongzi big enough?

Xu Zhuo spread the freshly seasoned glutinous rice on the zong leaves.

About [-] centimeters long, [-] centimeters wide, and about [-] centimeters thick.

After laying out the glutinous rice, Xu Zhuo sprinkled another layer of red beans on top, and then sprinkled a layer of diced bacon on top of the red beans.

After the diced bacon is sprinkled, a layer of soaked mung beans is added.

Stacking layers like this not only looks better, but also tastes better.

After these ingredients are laid out, it's time to put the chicken.

Xu Zhuo took the chicken that had just been stuffed with meat, and placed it in the center on the paved material.

Next, he began to sprinkle the leftover glutinous rice, mung bean and red bean on the chicken.

To be precise, it should be a shot.

Because the glutinous rice has been soaked, and the surface is slightly sticky after water control, so you can easily stick to the chicken with a grab and a pat on the chicken.

Xu Zhuo carefully put all these ingredients on the chicken, buried the rooster completely, then smoothed the top and made the corners so that the whole zongzi became a ridge.

In this way, after wrapping the zong leaves, it can form the shape of a pillow.

After finishing all the fillings, Xu Zhuo began to make zongzi.

First, fold up the middle leaves of the zongzi to the highest point of the prism, so that they can be intertwined and intertwined.

Then tighten the hemp rope so that all the zong leaves are folded upwards, first fold the zong leaves on one side to the top to cover the top of the ridge, and then cover the zong leaves on the other side so that the zong leaves on both sides Cross stacked.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, tighten the hemp rope in the middle so that the zong leaves will not loosen.

Then, tighten the zong leaves on both sides, and then fold down along the bottom edge, and fold all the extra zong leaves on the bottom.

This will not only look better, but also make the zong leaves on the bottom thicker, so that the zong leaves will not be broken by the boiling water when cooking zongzi.

After the extra zong leaves are folded down, move the hemp rope at the bottom to rein in the folded zong leaves, and also tighten it up.

After making the other side in the same way, the shape of the champion whole chicken rice dumpling has come out.

However, the zongzi is not ready yet, because the hemp rope is only used to fix it temporarily. If the zongzi is to become really strong, it needs to be rewound with a thin cotton rope.

This not only makes the zong leaves more evenly stressed, but also makes the zong leaves wrap more tightly, so that the zong leaves become tightly seamed without gaps.

After winding in this way, the whole zongzi is considered to be completely ready.

This champion whole chicken rice dumpling used fifty or sixty rice dumpling leaves and a thin cotton rope about 20 meters long. Compared with ordinary rice dumpling, it really cost a lot.

Guo Xingwang held the big rice dumpling with both hands and put it on the kitchen scale used to weigh the ingredients, and then yelled in surprise: "Wow! This rice dumpling weighs [-] catties, my God, who the hell is this?" Can you finish eating?"

Xu Zhuo only thought that the zongzi was not small and quite heavy, but he didn't expect that it weighed fifteen catties.

It is said on the Internet that the large rice dumplings in Guangxi are at most about twelve catties.

With this shot, he overwhelmed the place of origin?

But after thinking about it, the rice dumplings over there are filled with small hens, but I use big roosters.

In addition, in terms of ingredients and ingredients, it is also possible to fill in with great effort, so it is not surprising that the portion is sufficient.

Holding the big zongzi aside, Xu Zhuo and Guo Xingwang worked together to make the remaining zongzi.

This zongzi is heavier than the first one, reaching sixteen and a half catties.

The reason for this is that Xu Zhuo added all the remaining ingredients into the rice dumpling, which increased the weight again.

Guo Xingwang carried the two zongzi to the stove, wiped the sweat off his brow and said, "Damn it, who would have thought that we would make two zongzi, and we used about [-] catties of materials."

That's right, people who have never seen this kind of rice dumpling would never have imagined that this rice dumpling would be so big and use so many ingredients.

After the zongzi is wrapped, it must be boiled quickly.

It's almost eight o'clock in the morning. Even if it is boiled now, it will probably not be eaten until eight o'clock in the evening.

After all, this zongzi also needs to be boiled in a pot for [-] hours in a row before it can be cooked.

Such a long cooking time is not only a test for the firepower of the stove, but also a strong requirement for the craftsmanship of making zongzi.

Because once the method of making zongzi is not good enough, the zongzi is likely to fall apart or crack during the cooking process, causing the car to overturn.

But Xu Zhuo doesn't have to worry about this, after all, it's a skill given by the system and it's trustworthy.

Zongzi is too big, and cooking two at a time, the general pot can't cook it at all.

In the end, the two chose the super-large soup bucket with a diameter of nearly one meter in the back kitchen to make it.

This soup bucket was specially customized by the stewed product department for the large-scale production of stewed meat. There are four customized ones in total. This is a spare, so it has never been used.

Since they couldn't find a suitable pot today, the two of them directly used this pot to make it.

However, the pot was too big to be placed on the stove, so the two moved out the temporary stove and placed it in the open space in the backyard, connecting it to the gas valve.

Then put the soup pot on the stove, pulled a water pipe to fill half of the pot of water into the pot, then ignited the stove and started to boil the water.

While boiling the water, Xu Zhuo and Guo Xingwang threw the zongzi into the large soup bucket, covered the pot, and sat on the side waiting leisurely.

After waiting for half an hour for the water to boil, Xu Zhuo turned down the heat and asked Guo Xingwang to watch over here, while he himself went back to the kitchen and continued to work.

This cooking lasts all day.

Guo Xingwang also stayed by the stove for a day.

At the beginning, he was very happy. Everyone else was working, and he could be lazy and play with his mobile phone openly, which was great.

But after a long time, I always feel a little boring.

Especially in the back kitchen, everyone's chatter and laughter came from time to time, which made Guo Xingwang wonder if Xu Zhuo was avenging his own personal revenge.

Well, it must have shown him Weibo yesterday, which made him angry from embarrassment.

I need to find a chance to mend my relationship with my boss.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to wear small shoes for yourself all the time.

But how to fix it?

He flipped through the news on the Internet with his mobile phone, and there were quite a few things related to Xu Zhuo.

There was sarcasm, there was support, and there was sympathy.

Anyway, after yesterday's Weibo post was posted, Xu Zhuo's style of painting has become much more joyful.

Those who used to clamor for educational fairness have also become silent.

After all, Boss Xu is already like this, what rhythm can he bring?

Guo Xingwang was scrolling, and suddenly discovered that there was a post related to Xu Zhuo. It turned out that a big V in a certain food circle mocked Xu Zhuo for cooking.

It is said that the tape made by Xu Zhuo has a name in the court, so I don't know what it means.

He also kept saying that Xu and his son were ruining classics.

Although Xu Zhuo's fans said in the comment area that the real belt Shangchao has been lost, the dish that the father and son collaborated on is actually not the real belt Shangchao.

But the big V turned a blind eye and continued to mock Xu and his son.

This made Guo Xingwang immediately lose his temper.

Xu Zhuo's studies are a bit poor, but his cooking skills are still very convincing.

Where did this come from? Can you just swear at people indiscriminately by adding a V on Weibo?

He originally wanted to scold people directly, but after thinking about it, he was not good at swearing.

So Guo Xingwang shared this microblog with Zheng Jia.

At the same time, he also sent a voice message to Zheng Jia: "Sister Jiajia, this is a big scolding for our boss, how can we go back and make him speechless, I'm not very good at scolding."

Soon, Zheng Jia sent a "You are such a scumbag" emoji.

"Go away and watch mine!"

then……

The long-lost Wang Tiezhu is online.

Chapter 1039 Fly in the ointment

Xu Zhuo easily resolved the crisis of public opinion with ridicule and self-deprecation, which made the Ge family a little unexpected.

Of course, what they didn't expect was that it was the sailors they hired themselves to do this job.

But if it doesn't work out, plan B will be implemented.

In fact, it was also the original plan, which was to attack Xu Zhuo's professional level by starting with the dish on the tape, and use public opinion to portray Xu Zhuo as a person who is ignorant and has a false reputation.

After all, Xu Zhuo has already admitted that he is a scumbag at this moment.

So criticizing him for being uneducated is absolutely valid.

However, their plan was perfect, and they also found a respected big V to fire the first shot, which can be described as perfect.

But he happened to meet Guo Xingwang, who had nothing to do because he got the cut, and Guo Xingwang revealed the matter to Zheng Jia, who was unhappy because many people on the Internet scolded Sifang Restaurant.

Just like that, the big V who received the money had just started, and before he started to criticize Xu Zhuo in depth, he was abused and attacked by a bunch of trumpets.

No, to be precise, there is no abuse, only attacks.
