Food starts with noodles

Xu Zhuo skillfully held a piece of lotus leaf cake, dipped the roast duck in the sweet noodle sauce, then put some shredded green onion and cucumber strips, rolled it up and put it in his mouth to bite.

The aroma of duck meat, the aroma of noodle cakes, the aroma of noodle sauce, the sweetness of green onions and the freshness of cucumbers all gathered together, made Xu Zhuo, who had lost his appetite due to the journey, suddenly twitch his index finger.

When eating roast duck, what you eat is this complex taste and multiple textures.

The more Xu Zhuo ate, the more he felt the urge to go to the back kitchen to learn how to roast duck.

But thinking about it, I already had a task about A-level Peking Duck, so Xu Zhuo didn't do anything unnecessary.

Instead of wasting such an opportunity, why not learn more about other dishes.

Everyone ate the delicious roast duck, no one mentioned He Guoan's matter, and no one mentioned the Ge family, even though Ji Mingyu and He Yan both wanted to know how Xu Zhuo ended up with the Ge family.

However, while eating and chatting, everyone's topic still started to lead to this aspect involuntarily.

He Yan took a sip of the beer in front of him, looked at Xu Zhuo and asked, "Boss Xu, may I ask you something?"

Xu Zhuo nodded, "Say it."

"Would you know how to go up the court with a tape? You continued to like several Weibo posts mocking my dad. What exactly does that mean?"

He Yan's words made the scene a bit cold for a while.

Xu Zhuo stuffed the rolled roast duck into his mouth, chewed it and said, "It was all done by people from the company to mock the Ge family. But one thing to say, the tape made by your father is compared with the original one. If so, it’s really a bit of a difference.”

He Yan put down the chopsticks in his hand, and stared at Xu Zhuo with straight eyes: "You really know how to do it?"

Xu Zhuo nodded, picked up a piece of lotus leaf pancake, and continued eating the roast duck.

However, his actions stunned everyone present.

Especially Ji Wenxuan, he knows very well that the dish of tape Shangchao has long been lost, and now there are only a few records that can be found, and no one knows how to make it.

If Xu Zhuo could cook it, it would be a great thing for the entire Lu cuisine.

Wasn’t the reason why the glorious Shandong cuisine declined because of the loss of legendary dishes?

If all these dishes are restored, Shandong cuisine may be revitalized again.

In order to make sure that Xu Zhuo was not lying, Ji Wenxuan asked him again: "Xiao Zhuo, you really know how to do it? I remember that your grandfather couldn't do it, who taught you?"

Xu Zhuo thought about it and gave a more convincing reason:

"Grandpa Ji, do you know the old man Zhang Zhengde who settled in Rongcheng back then? Before he died, he gave me a book. It recorded the dishes that were more popular in the Republic of China, and there was a tape on the court."

Zhang Zhengde's name, Ji Wenxuan, was naturally known.

After hearing Xu Zhuo's words, he let out a long sigh of relief, and his expression became excited: "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that the dish of tapeshang chao would have a chance to see the light of day again.

Xiao Zhuo, how about this, when Master He comes tomorrow, how about you cook this dish for us?Let us also open our eyes. "

Xu Zhuo naturally had no objection.

Just now when He Yan asked him about liking, Xu Zhuo knew that He Guoan didn't see him, maybe he was stimulated by his coquettish operation of liking.

It would be a great thing if you could do a tape-up in front of him, because this would dispel the other party's doubts and convince him.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhuo said, "Okay, then tomorrow I'll make this belt again, and just ask Grandpa Ji and Uncle He to point it out, and there's nothing wrong with it."

--------

That's all for today. Tomorrow I have to write the tapes to go to court, so I have to check the relevant information carefully today, and then think about how to write.

The transition plot without cooking is generally faster, so please be patient, this book will focus on gluttony at all times, and I will teach you how to cook by the way, I hope you will like it.

Chapter 1071

Today Ji Wenxuan probably intends to show off his own dishes, not only the roast duck served is delicious, other dishes also opened Xu Zhuo's eyes.

For example, the salty and delicious shredded pork in Beijing sauce, the fat but not greasy Fushou elbow, the delicious and crispy fairy duck, and a series of authentic Beijing-style dishes such as fried belly kernels, clear sauce pork, imperial concubine chicken, and honey. Let Xu Zhuo eat a full stomach.

Among these dishes, the one that interested Xu Zhuo the most was the one with a rather bluffing name.

It sounds like a dessert like honey three knives, but it is an out-and-out meat dish.

This dish is actually called Tasmee. The general method is to cut the lamb tenderloin into thin slices, make it with sweet bean sauce and wet starch, and then stir-fry it in hot oil. Finally, stir-fry it with the adjusted gravy .

This dish is shaped like preserved apricot, bright red in color and soft in texture. It tastes as sweet as honey with a slightly sour aftertaste. It is indeed a bit like dessert.

Of course, in Xu Zhuo's view, this dish is actually the mutton version of sweet and sour pork tenderloin, but with heavier ingredients and more sugar.

After eating and drinking enough, Xu Zhuo declined the invitation of Ji Mingyu and He Yan to take him to dance, and wandered to the hotel alone.

It’s time to eat and drink enough to play games. Is it fun to eat chicken?

Besides spending money to go there to exercise, Xu Zhuo might as well go to the back kitchen of Ji's house to cut pie for half an hour.

Relatively speaking, Qiedun is more physical exercise.

When he came to the hotel, he took a shower, lay on the bed and followed Yu Keke for a while, the girl was holding the bear cub and watching cats and mice.

I don't know if Xiong Zai can understand it, anyway, she and Zhou Wen, Sun Panpan, two best friends, are quite interested in watching it.

I don't know if it's because he is too timid to live alone, or because he is bored and wants to find friends to accompany him. Today Xu Zhuo just left for the capital, and Yu Keke called his two girlfriends over.

After the three women had eaten and drank enough, they began to toss Xiong Zai.

Not only bought it a set of clothes, but also let it wear a small skirt and women's clothing to appear on the camera and broadcast live with Zhou Wen.

Now when Xu Zhuo made a video call, Xiong Zai was very active.

He kept pawing at the screen gently with his paws, eager to communicate with Xu Zhuo.

It's a pity that it's useless, Xu Zhuo who is far away in the capital can't save it.

Tomorrow will have to continue to be forced to open.

Xu Zhuo told Yu Keke what he had seen and heard in the capital today, asked about the store, and then hurriedly ended the video call.

Well, after dismissing the woman, the rest is Xu Zhuo's happy time.

Xu Zhuo got out of bed and took out a bottle of iced Coke from the small refrigerator in the room.

After unscrewing it, he took two sips, then threw it on the bedside table, threw his body on the bed, turned over, and clicked on the game icon on the phone...

Well, Xu Zhuo's so-called happy time is drinking Coke and playing games.

Early the next morning, as soon as Xu Zhuo woke up, Ji Mingyu came over: "Brother Xu Zhuo, let's go, I'll take you to eat the most authentic soybean juice here."

Xu Zhuo: "..."

He had been fooled by this stuff before, and he had made a special trip to drink it, but he couldn't swallow it, but the coke rings that went with it were good, and Xu Zhuo only ate rubber rings that day.

After he refused, Ji Mingyu got excited instead: "Then why don't we eat fried liver or stewed liver? Or we can eat tea noodles."

Stir-fried liver is to add some pork liver to the marinated pig large intestine, and then add a lot of starch to make the stewed soup into a viscous and lubricated gelatinous state.

Stewed fire is to cook the roasted and stewed pig intestines and lungs together, supplemented by fried tofu slices, marinade, garlic juice, sauced tofu juice, coriander and other auxiliary materials, so that the fire is thoroughly cooked and not sticky. Bad but not bad, very popular.

Tea noodles are a relatively thick paste made from yellow rice noodles or millet noodles, with a layer of sesame sauce on the surface.

These three are famous snacks in the capital, but Xu Zhuo doesn't have much interest in them.

He originally wanted to drink some soy milk and eat two deep-fried dough sticks, but Ji Mingyu insisted on treating Xu Zhuo to the most authentic Beijing breakfast.

As a last resort, Xu Zhuo chose fried liver.

The reason for choosing this one is that the steamed buns sold in general fried liver shops are very good. Xu Zhuo plans to try them out, see how they make them, and practice after returning to the provincial capital.

As for stewed and boiled fire, the taste of this thing is too strong, Xu Zhuo really has no appetite.

It's the morning rush hour in the capital, and there are almost no sections within the Sixth Ring Road without traffic jams, so Ji Mingyu wisely chose to take the subway with Xu Zhuo.

But at the subway station, when Xu Zhuo saw the hustle and bustle of the crowd, he suddenly felt that he couldn't keep up with the times.

I always feel that the pace of life in the capital city is faster than that in the provincial capital, and everyone is in a hurry. Some people are hurrying while eating pancakes and other snacks, and some people don’t even bother to eat breakfast.

Xu Zhuo felt lucky to be squeezed into these crowds.

Fortunately, when I graduated from university, I didn't come to Beidiao because of my brains. Otherwise, I should be like them. I am so busy every day, except for work and sleep, I basically spend the rest of my time commuting.

But when he thought about opening a shop here in two years, Xu Zhuo felt a little proud again.

In a place like the capital city, the most indispensable thing is people. As long as the dishes in the store taste good, there is no need to worry about customers at all.

Moreover, it is more inclusive here, and there are more styles of dishes that customers can accept.

For chefs, this is a good thing.

After squeezed through the subway for several stops without touching the ground, Xu Zhuo followed Ji Mingyu to get off the train, and after exiting the station, he came to a fried liver restaurant.

There is naturally a queue at the door.

In the catering industry in Beijing, waiting in line is a normal phenomenon, and it is also a standard for evaluating whether a restaurant is qualified.

Ji Mingyu said with a smile: "If there is no one waiting in line at the door of any restaurant during meal time, then I advise you not to eat there, so as not to be caught off guard."

After waiting for about half an hour, it finally arrived.

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Zhuo smelled a strong aroma of garlic, which was not offensive, but very attractive.

Ji Mingyu skillfully ordered two large bowls of fried liver and six taels of steamed stuffed buns - three taels of pork and green onion stuffing and three taels of fennel and egg stuffing, both of which are classic fillings.

The waiter took a small long-handled spoon and began to serve fried liver from the pot.

This thing is very viscous, a bit like jelly, when filling it, it should be filled into the bowl little by little, not all at once.

When Xu Zhuo was looking at it, the system's notification sound suddenly appeared.

"Ding, the host observes attentively, triggers the [Concentrate on Learning] skill, and obtains the skill of cooking high-quality snacks - fried liver, congratulations to the host."

Xu Zhuo:? ? ?

what's the situation?

I can trigger skills just by watching other people serve rice?

After playing, I originally wanted to learn some other dishes in the back kitchen of Ji's Roast Duck Restaurant tonight, but now I learned the fried liver that I don't need when I trigger the skill.

Is this too pitiful?

Chapter 1072 Bad Habits and Culture

Holding fried liver and buns, Xu Zhuo and Ji Mingyu found an empty seat and sat down.

The steamed buns are freshly steamed, the skin is thin and the filling is big, it feels like the soup is coming out.

Xu Zhuo took one with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. As soon as he bit it open, the soup in the bun stuffing immediately flowed out.

Fragrant!

This bun tastes really delicious.

And in the process of chewing, you can feel the texture of the dough, the meat in the filling and the minced green onion inside.

It has a full mouthfeel and a mouthful of oil.

After eating a steamed stuffed bun, Xu Zhuo picked up the spoon and was about to take a bite of the garlic-flavored fried liver when he suddenly found that Ji Mingyu was also eating with the spoon.

This made Xu Zhuo very curious: "Didn't you people in the capital just hold the bowl and suck it along the side when eating fried liver? You also said that this is the culture of the capital, why do you use a spoon?"

Ji Mingyu took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun and said: "Basically, people who say such things are not from the capital. Sucking porridge along the side of a bowl is the same as smacking your mouth while eating. It's a bad habit. How can it be cultured?

Many people say it to others in a serious manner, and they feel annoyed when they see these words.

Treat bad habits as culture, how many ignorant people do you say?

Besides, let's not talk about whether the bowl in the restaurant outside has been cleaned, even if it is cleaned, but when you think of this bowl being sucked along the side many times a few minutes ago, don't you feel sick?

Not to mention outside, even if I am eating at home, if I dare to hold the bowl and suck it along the side of the bowl like this, my grandpa will stick to me with a big ear scraper.

It's the beggars who suck so much, who in a serious family would educate their children like this.

Anyway, none of the young people I know is like this, and their parents don't allow them to eat like this. "

After hearing Ji Mingyu's complaints, Xu Zhuo's hand holding the spoon trembled slightly.
