Food starts with noodles

In the end, I could only sigh.

Ugh!

Those who dismantle people will eventually be dismantled.

But he had already kept an eye on Feng Weiguo. If the old man came over later, he would not be given another chance to speak.

Xu Zhuo looked at the two old men fighting with a smile, neither participating nor stopping them.

They can explain in this way that they have a good mentality. If they are really lifeless and have no vitality, it will be even more worrying.

After Zhao Jinma got angry for a while, he continued to stir the sauce.

After he stirred up all the sauces in the bowl, he sprinkled a little pepper powder into the bowl. This should not be too much, mainly to match the bottom flavor. Too much will suppress the umami taste of the chicken. Son.

After stirring again, Zhao Jinma put two more handfuls of starch into the bowl.

Starch is added to the sauce to better combine the sauce with the ingredients, and to allow the juice to penetrate into the chicken faster.

After Zhao Jinma adjusted the sauce, he put it aside and let it stand.

Then, he took out the chicken soaked in the pot, put it on the bamboo grate to control the water, and then wiped the surface and the moisture in the chicken belly with kitchen paper.

Next, it's time to chop the chicken.

In order not to make Zhao Jinma too tired, but also to give him the strength to quarrel with Feng Weiguo, Xu Zhuo took the initiative to take over the job.

Now chopping chicken nuggets is no longer a big deal for Xu Zhuo, even if Zhao Jinma specially told him not to chop too big chicken nuggets, he can handle it easily.

In fact, the chicken nuggets that are convenient to steam are not too large, after all, the time of marinating and steaming must be considered.

If the pieces are too large, not only will the chicken inside not only have no meaty taste, but it may not be able to be steamed.

Of course, you can also increase the marinating time and steaming time.

Now there are refrigerators, it doesn’t matter if the marinating time is increased, just cover it with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator.

But increasing the steaming time is not advisable.

According to Zhao Jinma's introduction, if this relatively fresh meat is steamed for too long, it will lose the deliciousness of chicken and the quality of the meat will also deteriorate.

The reason is that the steam will evaporate the water in the meat, resulting in dehydration in the meat.

All the chicken nuggets were chopped into small pieces of [-] centimeters, and then put into the basin. Zhao Jinma came over with the sauce, poured the juice into the basin, and started to stir it.

While stirring, he said: "When steaming the chicken, you can add more garlic. If you don't want to eat ginger, cut it into large slices or shred it, pick it out after marinating."

Steamed chicken does not need spices such as pepper and aniseed, the reason is that it will suppress the umami taste of the chicken.

Another reason is that the taste of fermented bean curd has been perfected, and the various aromas are well coordinated, so there is no need to add other spices.

Put a little bit of pepper at most, it is also used to remove the fishy smell, and it does not affect the taste at all.

As for the green onions, you can actually put them in, but if you put too much green onions and steam them, there will be a unique smell like green onions, which many people will not be used to, so generally restaurants do not put green onions when steaming chicken.

Even if it is made, sprinkle some shallot shreds when it comes out of the pan at the end, and cook it in hot oil to add a scallion flavor to the dish.

These are cooking skills, Zhao Jinma had nothing to do, and talked a lot to Xu Zhuo.

While talking, the old man brought the topic to Zhao Guangming.

"Is the light okay recently?"

Xu Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Very good, I just had a video call with him when I was in the capital two days ago... Oh, by the way, he also sent some beef imported from Japan, and asked me to bring it to you for a taste." Try it, but you can't taste it now, the express delivery is still on the way, and it will take two days to arrive."

Xu Zhuo lied, saying that the A5 wagyu he bought from Peng Fei was bought by Zhao Guangming.

As for the elderly, making him happy is the first priority. In other respects, I can't change anything, I can only let nature take its course.

There was a touch of warmth on Zhao Jinma's face, and he said complainingly: "Silly boy, there is so much beef in our country, and we still need to buy it from abroad? How can it be better than our beef?"

Xu Zhuo doesn't know how delicious it is, he only knows that this beef is much more expensive than domestic beef.

Because this kind of beef is sold by gram.

Zhao Jinma chattered non-stop, basically talking about Zhao Guangming's childhood.

Xu Zhuo listened carefully, not disturbing the old man who missed his grandson.

Now the grandpa and grandson actually miss each other quite a bit, but they can't hold back their face, so they just stretched like this, and neither of them would bow their heads.

Xu Zhuo sighed slightly in his heart, the dog force system must not use the sense of presence to do tasks at this moment.

The result really came...

"Ding, there is a new random mission, please click on the mission panel for details."

Well, the more you are afraid of something, the more you become more so.

Xu Zhuo didn't need to look at the mission details to know that this dog system must have brought Zhao Guangming back to the Zhao family.

But this thing is easy to say, but in practice it is...

The concept of family and elders can still be dealt with, but Xu Zhuo really can't play with public opinion.

You can't put a knife on someone's neck to prevent them from making arrangements for the Zhao family's affairs, right?

Alas, this matter can only be taken one step at a time. Anyway, there is no penalty for random tasks, and the big deal is to lose one or two skills.

After thinking about these things, Xu Zhuo felt relieved.

After the chicken nuggets and the sauce were evenly mixed, Zhao Jinma covered them with a layer of plastic wrap and put them in the freezer to marinate.

In order to prevent the chicken nuggets from becoming tasteless, Zhao Jinma marinated them for two hours before letting Xu Zhuo take out the chicken nuggets and start steaming them in a basket.

The marinated chicken nuggets are spread directly on the steaming plate, only one layer can be spread, and they cannot be stacked, so as not to prevent the steam from steaming through and cause the chicken to be undercooked.

With a steaming tray, the chicken can be steamed to the maximum extent, and the efficiency can also be improved.

If you use a plate to steam, you can't put a few pieces of meat on a plate, which takes up space in the steamer for nothing.

After all the chicken pieces were placed on the steaming plate, Zhao Jinma took a spatula, dug out some lard, and carefully spread it on the meat pieces.

This doesn’t need to be spread too evenly, as long as there is lard in the steaming plate, because after the steaming is finished and the chicken pieces are picked out, the remaining soup in the steaming plate will be used for pouring.

And these lards are prepared for the sauce, mainly to increase the aroma of the soup, which will make the chicken more delicious.

Xu Zhuo looked at the lard on the steamer and asked Zhao Jinma curiously, "Is this really not greasy?"

Zhao Jinma smiled: "Don't worry, you will definitely want to eat it!"

Chapter 1090 Look at this cat, does it look like a pancake?

After putting the steaming plates with chicken nuggets into the steaming cabinet one by one, Xu Zhuo had time to check the random task he just got.

Random task: Mediation.

Task details: The host is asked to find a way to mediate the conflicts within the Zhao family, so that the Zhao family will no longer become harmonious and happy again.

Mission rewards and punishments: If the mission is successful, the host will get a D-level general cooking skill - making fish balls; if the mission fails, there will be no penalty.

Task time limit: half a year.

Task hint: You can start with Zhao Jinma's birthday in October.

After reading it, Xu Zhuo felt powerless.

He is still very envious of the method of fish balls, and even coveted the method of fish balls a long time ago.

But the task of mediating conflicts in other people's families was really difficult for him to do.

It's hard for an upright official to decide on housework. As an outsider, what's the matter with meddling in other people's family affairs?

Although the current conflict in the Zhao family is just a matter of piercing a layer of window paper, after all, Zhao Jinma cares about Zhao Guangming, and Zhao Guangming has always been thinking about his grandfather.

But it doesn't mean that it's enough to pierce the window paper, and it may also have adverse effects.

After all, Zhao Jinma is a very face-saving person, and his grandson makes him feel ashamed.

This is the source of the Zhao family's conflicts, and Xu Zhuo feels that he cannot complete this task.

So he thought about it and decided to give up.

Isn't it just fish balls, the big deal is to steal the teacher by concentrating on learning, or not learning at all.

So many chefs don't know how to make fish balls, so they are still alive and kicking and working hard to live?

One must be content. After all, there are so many dishes and techniques in Chinese food, how can I learn them all?

After thinking through these, Xu Zhuo's heart calmed down a little.

Although the task is not done, but when it is Zhao Jinma's birthday, I have to express what I should express.

This year should be Zhao Jinma's 78th birthday, it is estimated that it will be a big event, and it will be fine to give him a more unique gift then.

For example, ask a teacher or something.

Xu Zhuo did not forget the task of worshiping Zhao Jinma as his teacher. After all, the reward was the No.1 dish in the Central Plains, carp baked noodles. Xu Zhuo had been coveting this dish for a long time.

As for the form of apprenticeship, this is...

When the time comes, let the old man and the others arrange it. I don't understand these master-student relationships at all. Anyway, as long as I can explain the old man clearly, the rest of the matter will be much easier.

The chicken nuggets need to be steamed for 10 minutes, and then stuffed for another 10 minutes.

It was still early, so Xu Zhuo strolled upstairs to see if everyone was still interested in eating fermented bean curd chicken. If not, the chicken nuggets would be shared among the kitchen staff and waiters.

As a result, when he came to the private room, Xu Zhuo found that everyone was taking photos around the table with their mobile phones.

And in the middle of the table, there is a fat and fat bear sitting on a golden horse with big knives.

"Hey, what are you doing? Playing with cats in the eating place, customers will protest if they know about it."

There are those who love pets and those who hate pets.

Letting pets climb onto the dining table at will is not a problem for pet owners, but it is completely unacceptable for people who hate pets or cleanliness.

If they are at home, they can shoot whatever they want.

But this is in the store, although this private room is generally not used by the public, but if customers see it, they will still have a grudge in their hearts.

"Shhh, I'll talk about it later, Xiong Zai is sitting up and fell asleep right now, let's take two short videos first and then hug him down."

After finishing speaking, Yu Keke lightly turned the turntable on the table, and then this silly cat with a ridiculous sleeping position followed the turn of the table.

Even though Yu Keke had already accelerated, she didn't intend to wake up at all.

But after the filming was over, Xu Zhuo took his mobile phone and tapped lightly on the dining table. The crisp sound woke up Xiong Zai immediately, and he even jumped up on the spot.

But seeing so many people present, it rushed into Ke Ke's arms, and then stared at the culprit who woke it up.

"Yo, are you still angry about getting up?"

Xu Zhuo patted Xiong Zai's head twice, and this kind of cat raised its front paws to resist.

But after Xu Zhuo took out the dried fish, it broke free from Yu Keke's arms, jumped onto Xu Zhuo's body, and rubbed its big head against Xu Zhuo's chest affectionately.

Guo Xingwang sighed at the side: "Why don't I like keeping cats? It's just that this stuff will never be cooked well. As long as you give it to eat, there is no moral integrity."

Li Hao said with a smile: "If you want to keep pets, don't impose human terms on animals. What kind of position, what kind of morals, these are all artificially set. Animals think very simple, eating is fun. Get some sleep, that's enough."

Xu Zhuo put Xiong Zai down, took a small disposable plate and put it on the ground, and then put the dried fish just brought from the kitchen into it.

Xiong Zai immediately lay down on the ground, picked up the small dried fish with both hands and started eating.

Everyone looked at the video just shot on their mobile phones to see who took the more interesting one.

When it was Li Hao's turn to show, Guo Xingwang asked curiously, "Why does the bear boy you took look so much like our Huangshan biscuits?"

When taking the photo just now, Li Hao placed his phone very low because he was still eating. Coupled with the angle problem, he took pictures of Xiong Zai's round back and butt.

This picture is hit by the lights above the head, and it really looks like an enlarged version of Huangshan Shaobing.

Yellow like a crab shell.

Originally, Guo Xingwang just mentioned it casually, but Li Hao got excited: "Seed cake? Is it delicious? Can you make it?"

Sun Panpan pointed to the big empty bowl in front of him: "When you talk about eating, you get excited, are you still full?"

Li Hao smiled: "Have you tried this before? I want to taste it. Boss Xu, can you do it?"

Xu Zhuo shook his head, he really doesn't know how to make Huangshan sesame seed cakes.
