Food starts with noodles

When I was a child, I didn't dare to stick the fried liver to the side of the bowl, because I always felt unclean.

When the fried liver enters the mouth, the first thing is the creamy feeling of starch, and there is a strong taste of stewed soup inside.

With the large intestine section or pork liver slices wrapped in the innermost part, it tastes quite interesting.

Moreover, there is a lot of minced garlic in it, and the garlic flavor has been integrated into all aspects of fried liver, so it is not greasy to eat, but it makes people feel a sense of appetite.

Delicious fried liver with delicious buns is a perfect match.

The two of them ate and drank enough, and left this fried liver shop that was still in line.

When he got outside, Xu Zhuo immediately bought a bottle of mineral water from a canteen nearby.

Stir-fried liver with steamed buns tastes good, but it feels a little salty at the end of the meal, so drink a couple of sips of water to neutralize it.

Ji Mingyu didn't drink water, because he was used to this way of eating.

"Brother Xu Zhuo, where do you want to go? My grandfather told me to stay with you all day. Do you want to go to the Forbidden City or Badaling?"

Xu Zhuo: "..."

Can't you have some constructive comments?

According to this morning's plan, Xu Zhuo originally wanted to go to the back kitchen of Ji's Roast Duck Restaurant after dinner, but after using the skills he had learned so hard at Chaoganer Restaurant, he no longer had the intention to go to the back kitchen .

Because it is no longer possible to steal a teacher, it is useless to go.

But other places, it seems that there is nothing to go shopping.

Places like 798 are suitable for couples to go. The two men are in the past, and they can't let go of taking pictures together.

Xu Zhuo had been to places like Guijie Street in Nanluogu Lane several years ago, more than once, and had no interest in visiting at all.

And it's a pain to go shopping in such a crowded place on this hot day.

It's better to find a cool place.

Seeing that Xu Zhuo was not very interested in these places, Ji Mingyu suddenly remembered that there were rumors on the Internet that Xu Zhuo was keen on playing games, and he suddenly knew where to go.

"Brother Xu Zhuo, do you want to play shooting?"

Xu Zhuo looked at him and asked curiously, "Isn't it playing balloons in the park?"

Ji Mingyu shook his head with a smile: "How can it be that kind of place, live ammunition shooting, do you want to play? If you want to play, I will take you there, let's go for a while."

Xu Zhuo was immediately interested in this proposal.

As a loyal fan of shooting games such as COD, Battlefield, Medal of Honor, and Crossfire, Xu Zhuo has an inexplicable love for firearms.

It never occurred to him that there is still a place to play with guns in the capital.

The two hurried back to the main branch of Jijia Roast Duck Restaurant by subway, and drove straight to the North International Shooting Range near Badaling in the northern suburbs.

This place is the only standard shooting range in China. It has all kinds of firearms, and most of them can be used for live ammunition shooting.

When the car turned to the Badaling Expressway, Ji Mingyu began to introduce the North International Shooting Range to Xu Zhuo.

The more detailed he explained, the more itchy Xu Zhuo felt.

Men like to play with guns.

Now that he was finally able to get in touch with a real gun, Xu Zhuo couldn't help feeling a little excited.

A distance of tens of kilometers is not too far.But Xu Zhuo was more urgent in his heart, and opened the map more than once to check the distance.

After arriving, the two bought tickets to go in.

First, go around the Light Weapons Museum, feel the charm of firearms, and look for the mentality of playing games by the way.

Then go to the shooting range, buy bullets, choose firearms, and start shooting according to the prompts of the on-site instructors.

Gunshots rang out, gunpowder smoke filled the air, Xu Zhuo seemed to be in a war-torn game.

The two got excited about playing, and bought it when they ran out of bullets, and they didn't know how many bullets they used.

After the two came out, they sat in the car and did some calculations, only to find out that thousands of dollars had already been made.

After returning to the urban area contentedly, Xu Zhuo rubbed his aching right shoulder from the recoil of the rifle, and then remembered that he had to cook in the evening.

After lunch later, and then go back to the hotel to sleep for a while, you have to prepare the ingredients for making the tape in advance.

And it's the back kitchen of Ji's Roast Duck Restaurant, so I have to go in and get used to it, and prepare all the cooking utensils and utensils to be used, so as not to be affected by the rush of time.

Besides, he had to think about what to talk about with He Guoan.

You can't cook the dishes with a bang, bang bang, and then say, Uncle He, don't mess with those bastards of the Ge family.

The more people he came into contact with, the more Xu Zhuo felt that language was an art.

It can irritate people, and it can also calm violent emotions.

You can even scold Wang Lang to death on the spot with the shocking sentence "I have never seen such a brazen person" like Zhuge Liang.

But Xu Zhuo didn't know where to start.

Confidentially talk about the future?

My age is inappropriate, and it's a one-sided relationship, so it's a bit superficial to say these things.

Xu Zhuo thought for a long time and didn't figure it out. He was just about to give up these thoughts and let nature take its course, but the system's notification sounded again.

"A new random task has appeared, please click on the task panel for details."

Xu Zhuo was taken aback for a moment, he was just thinking about how to deal with He Guoan, and now the task came, the dog system would not let him push He Guoan to leave the Ge family completely, right?

If this is the case, it will be more difficult.

But I really have to make a good use of it to fool...

Cough, the art of language.

Chapter 1073: Choosing Ingredients

Random task: Convince He Guoan.

Task details: Ask the host to use his language advantages to persuade He Guoan to leave the Ge family, and take the initiative to expose some shady things about the Ge family's business.

Mission rewards and punishments: He Guoan successfully escaped from the Ge family, and the host will get a D-level signature Beijing-style dish—it tastes like honey; if the mission fails, the Ge family will launch a new round of public opinion offensive.

Task time limit: before [-]:[-] p.m.

Mission hint: Start with He Yan's future.

After reading it, Xu Zhuo's only doubt was why the system's last prompt was related to He Yan?

Starting from He Yan's future, is it possible to discuss the child's education with He Guoan?

But thinking about his status as a university student, Xu Zhuo wisely dismissed this idea.

It's better to start from another direction.

When we arrived at Ji's Roast Duck Restaurant, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and there were people queuing up everywhere in front of the store.

When I came upstairs, the small private room was ready, and a few small cold dishes were also served.

The two had a good time at the shooting range, and they were all a little hungry at the moment.

Ji Mingyu asked the waiter to serve a few dishes, and then each of them brought a large portion of noodles with fried sauce, and sat down with Xu Zhuo to eat.

Ji's Roast Duck Restaurant is not only famous for its roast duck, but also its fried noodles in Beijing.

The waiter quickly brought some hot dishes, and two more trays with a large bowl of noodles that had been boiled and rinsed in cold water.

There are seven small plates around the bowl, which contain various dishes.

For noodles with fried sauce, seven dishes and eight bowls are standard, which is the last dignity of the down-and-out Eight Banners.

The life of the Eight Banners in the early Qing Dynasty was quite affluent, and their life was very extravagant. For example, when entertaining guests, they often paid attention to seven dishes and eight bowls, that is, the table should be full of dishes.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the children of the Eight Banners became more and more destitute, but the royal family also stipulated that they were not allowed to do business, which made the life of these nobles worse than that of ordinary people.

Although life is down and out, the attention and dignity that nobles should have cannot be left behind.

For example, when guests come to the house, they still pay attention to seven dishes and eight bowls.

How to pay attention to it?

It’s just that when eating fried noodles, I deliberately put all the dishes into small dishes, which is an extremely shabby version of seven dishes and eight bowls.

There is also a saying that at that time, the Eight Banners were down and out, but they were not very good at cooking, so they cut some green vegetables and put them on a plate, and then made a plate of sauce.

Eat with vegetables and sauce, and then make a bowl of noodles after eating, and mix the remaining vegetables and sauce into the bowl.

Qihuo, this is the origin of Zhajiangmian.

Of course, the veracity of this legend cannot be verified, anyway, that's how the noodles came from.

And when eating fried noodles, many people will tell these allusions, and then ridicule the poor and fastidious children of the Eight Banners back then.

Ji Mingyu was skillfully mixing the noodles in the bowl while talking to Xu Zhuo. When he finished speaking, seeing that Xu Zhuo didn't respond, he asked a little strangely, "Aren't you a chef? Are you not interested in this matter?"

Xu Zhuo smiled: "No, it's mainly because I'm tired of listening."

Ji Mingyu: "..."

"What do you mean?"

"Every time I eat fried noodles in Beijing, I always use this kind of rhetoric."

When the two were eating, a waiter came in and asked Xu Zhuo in a low voice what ingredients he needed for the afternoon, and the back kitchen would prepare them in advance.

Xu Zhuo thought for a while and said, "Meat pigeons and ducks are fine. The ducks should be tender, preferably live ducks."

The waiter agreed and left the private room.

Ji Mingyu took a look at Xu Zhuo: "You really want to cook this dish in front of my grandfather and Uncle He? They have studied a lot but haven't found the trick, can you do it?"

"No problem, don't worry, it will definitely make your eyes shine."

After Xu Zhuo finished speaking, he pinched the garlic cloves and started to eat the noodles.

As the saying goes: If you eat noodles without garlic, the flavor will be reduced by half.

A clove of garlic when eating noodles with soy sauce is really delicious.

After eating and drinking, Xu Zhuo strolled to the opposite hotel to prepare for his lunch break.

Last night, he played the game until the early morning, and was woken up by Ji Mingyu early in the morning. In addition, he was very tired from playing in the shooting range, so Xu Zhuo urgently needs to take a rest at this moment.

Replenish your energy and store up your energy to make your mind clearer.

Only then can He Guoan be persuaded to make a clean break with the Ge family.

After sleeping for about an hour, Xu Zhuo washed his face, changed his clothes and went downstairs.

It was past three o'clock at this moment, and he came to Ji's Roast Duck Restaurant opposite. He was just about to go to the back kitchen to familiarize himself with the environment, when he saw Ji Mingyu carrying a tripod to the back kitchen.

"Mingyu, what are you doing?"

Seeing that it was Xu Zhuo, Ji Mingyu immediately said, "Make a video, you are a celebrity now, you have to use your fame to advertise our store."

Well, it seems that yesterday's roast duck and today's fried noodles are not for nothing.

But let’s just shoot it, it’s best to include He Guoan, and then release it for everyone in the Ge family to see.

Presumably their expressions should be very exciting.

The back kitchen of Ji's Roast Duck Restaurant is very large. After all, there is a roast duck oven, and most of them are in the area for processing ducks, so there is no need to worry about running out of duck meat here.

It's just that making duck with its strips upside down is completely different from roasting duck.

The ducks used for roast ducks are stuffed ducks, which are very big, each weighing about seven or eight catties or even ten catties. They are fat and thick, so they are very suitable for roast ducks.

However, the duck used in the court should use the shelduck duck in the south. It is not big, and the meat is relatively delicate. The duck is fat and thin, so the taste is better.

Now the duck is ready. It looks like a little over three catties. It is not big. It should be the kind of duckling that is a few months old.

In addition to ducks, pigeons are also ready.

In fact, this dish should use wild ducks that are about the size of pigeons.

Because facing up on the belt is also a homonym for tide, and ducks swim in the water with wild ducks, which means playing with the tide.
