Food starts with noodles

Xu Zhuo didn't put on airs either. He was only a few years older than them, so they chatted easily, and even added WeChat, agreeing to fight kings or eat chicken together when he had time.

This continued for more than half an hour, and the students dispersed only after it was dark outside.

That teacher Wang came over at this moment, and said quietly: "Professor Xu is still popular. I have taught this group of children for a semester, and they have never been so enthusiastic."

Xu Zhuo smiled: "The main reason is that I don't come here often, and I won't be popular if I teach them every day."

Neither of the two mentioned the matter of going to class, which was to save some face for each other.

At this time, Zheng Guangyao and the others had already gone to the office, Xu Zhuo walked and chatted with that teacher Wang, and went to the office to meet them.

In the office, everyone exchanged some pleasantries, and then went to the school cafeteria for dinner.

Talking about eating is actually starting to talk about business.

The first thing is that He Guoan came to teach. Xu Zhuo first explained He Guoan's status in Shandong cuisine and all his achievements. These are all resumes and extra points.

After speaking, he talked about He Guoan's willingness to come to teach.

Of course, when talking about this matter, Xu Zhuo also expressed his own thoughts, that is, although he is willing to come, the school can't let him do it for nothing, and the benefits and benefits that he should have can't be less.

Several leaders of the culinary academy naturally expressed their support, and said that they would try their best to give He Guoan the best treatment within the scope allowed by the relevant policies.

But they also made a request, that is, they want to meet He Guoan as soon as possible.

Don't push all kinds of fanfare on this side, but just use it as a springboard to seek better opportunities on the other side.

So it's better to meet and have a chat, so that you can have a sense in your heart.

Xu Zhuo was naturally happy to see this kind of result, so he sent He Guoan a WeChat message at that time, asking him to come to Yangzhou as soon as possible if he had time, to complete the procedures.

After talking about this matter, Zheng Guangyao naturally turned the topic to Xu Wenhai.

Xu Wenhai's guest professor procedures have been submitted at the school, and there is only one last step in the procedures, so Zheng Guangyao secretly urged a few words on behalf of Xu Zhuo.

People have been drunk several times at home, and the title of Professor Xu has already spread in the circle. If you don't get this title in the end, where will you put Lao Xu's face?

The leaders of the college also knew what this meant, and immediately said that the procedures should be completed as soon as possible, and then the appointment letter of Xu Wenhai's visiting professor would be sent to make everyone feel at ease.

Everyone ate, drank and chatted until after nine o'clock before dispersing.

After coming out of the cafeteria, Xu Zhuo was just about to drive back when he found that the lights were still on in the lecture theater where he attended class.

Ok?

Is there anyone still studying at night?

However, if you study by yourself in the evening, you can do it in an ordinary classroom. In a place like a lecture theater, which is dedicated to large classes, it is a bit of a waste of electricity to study by yourself at night.

He just had a full meal at the moment, and he was going to digest his food before going back, so he strolled towards that classroom.

When I walked to the window, I found a group of students gathered around the stove. There was a steamer on the stove, which was steaming.

The steamer must have been on for a long time, because Xu Zhuo found that the entire classroom was filled with water vapor.

what's the situation?

He opened the door and walked in, looked at the students and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Professor Xu, when we were cleaning the classroom, we found that the taro braised pork you made was still here. It would be a waste to throw it away, so I wanted to steam it...We are all northerners, and we have never eaten this kind of braised pork. Want to taste how it tastes..."

Xu Zhuo was taken aback by what the students said, and he smiled and said, "In that case, let me do it for you, so that you don't have to worry about it..."

Chapter 1107 The Chef's Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Several students couldn't believe their ears when they heard that Xu Zhuo was going to do it for them.

You must know that there were students who secretly cooked in the classroom before, but some were reprimanded by the teacher, and some were urged to finish quickly.

Even the teacher with the best temper turned a blind eye. Xu Zhuo had never taken the initiative to cook for the students like this.

After all, this is not class time. According to the school's regulations, students can only practice piercing or study cultural lessons at night, and they are not allowed to use the stove.

This is not because the school is picky, but mainly because they are worried that it will cause accidents.

After all, a stove needs to be fired. There are open flames, gas, cooking oil, etc. in the classroom. Improper operation can easily cause fires and other accidents.

Therefore, students of the Culinary Academy need to be guided by the teacher if they want to use the stove.

To be precise, the stove can be used when the teacher is present, but cannot be used when the teacher is not present.

"How long has it been steaming?"

Xu Zhuo could already smell the smell of meat and fermented bean curd in the steam, so he couldn't help asking.

"It's been more than two hours, Professor Xu, do you still need to steam?"

Xu Zhuo was a little ashamed by the sound of teaching Xu Zhuo. He smiled and said, "You can just call me teacher. The title of professor is easy to call people old. The meat is almost through, but it's okay to steam it for a while. Prepare the ingredients for the plate."

Arrangement?

A few students just wanted to taste the taste, but they didn't expect Xu Zhuo to arrange a plate.

Celebrities are really different, they are so particular about trying new things in private, no wonder they can become stars.

There was a refrigerator on the side of the classroom wall, and Xu Zhuo took out a handful of rapeseed from it.

First wash these rapeseeds in clean water twice, then remove the old stalks, trim the roots of the rapeseed, cut off the excess part, so that the root of the rapeseed becomes a flat head.

Then, he cut off the excess leaves from the head of the rapeseed with a kitchen knife.

While cutting, he said: "These leaves are relatively tender, and they are easy to rot after being heated, which affects the senses. And when there are too many leaves around the meat, it will appear overwhelming."

After the leaves were cut, Xu Zhuo put the wok on the stove, opened it, added some water to it, and brought it to a boil.

After boiling, add some salt to the water, and then pour in half a spoonful of peanut oil, which can make the color of rapeseed leaves more bright.

After boiling again, Xu Zhuo put the rapeseed into the pot and began to boil it.

After about 2 minutes, he fished out the rapeseed and put it in cold water to cool it down.

After this step was done, Xu Zhuo turned off the heat of the steamer, and after a few more minutes of stuffiness, he lifted the lid of the steamer.

A steam mixed with a strong fragrance rose from the pot. In the smog, everyone saw the bowl on the steamer.

When it was first put in, the meat in the bowl was still a little tentacled, and there were still some gaps between the meat slices and the taro slices.

And now, these meat slices and sweet potato chips are almost together, and there is still some soup on top.

Xu Zhuo put on heat-insulating gloves, and carefully removed the bowl from the cage drawer.

But he didn't put it on the plate in a hurry, but took a frying pan and put it on the stove, and poured the soup in the bowl into it.

After pouring it in, Xu Zhuo took a plate and put it on top of the bowl, then held the tray in one hand and turned it over quickly so that the bowl was placed upside down on the plate.

Then take the bowl away, and the taro braised pork can be regarded as showing its true colors.

Slices of red-skinned meat slices and lighter-colored taro slices are layered together, and the thickness is exactly the same, which is really comfortable for obsessive-compulsive disorder.

The eyes of the students next to them were also shining, they didn't expect this dish to be so beautiful.

Xu Zhuo fished out the cooled rapeseed from the water, squeezed the moisture from the leaves with his hands, and carefully surrounded the meat with chopsticks.

After the rapeseed is surrounded, the appearance of this dish will also come up.

It's not over yet, after Xu Zhuo set it up, he fixed his eyes on the soup that was just poured out.

These soups are not too much, but they are more than enough for dipping.

Xu Zhuo brought a bowl, grabbed some starch, added some water and stirred it into starch water.

After finishing these, Xu Zhuo turned on the stove, turned on the fire to boil the soup in the pot, then poured starch water into it to thicken the soup, when the soup in the pot became thick, Xu Zhuo scooped a little scallion oil and poured it in , stir well and turn off the heat.

Then he took the pot and carefully poured the onion-flavored sauce in the pot onto the meat and the rapeseed around with a spoon.

The appearance of this dish has improved immediately.

Especially the meat in the middle, the ruddy and soft skin immediately looks crystal clear after being poured with juice, and the taro chips that looked dry before have become much more beautiful now.

This juice, to put it bluntly, is like a girl's selfie with a filter. Although there is an extra layer of hazy color, it feels more beautiful.

Small blemishes are also covered up and everything looks beautiful.

"Wow, it's so beautiful, I can't bear to eat it."

"Yes, it's really beautiful, no, I have to take a photo with this dish. This is a dish made by Teacher Xu. It's really memorable."

"Yes, yes, we must take a photo together to commemorate."

When several students were excitedly posing for a group photo, Xu Zhuo had quietly left the classroom and drove towards Yu's villa.

The main reason for making this dish today is to coincide with the meeting. Of course, it is also because I didn’t finish it in the afternoon, and I always feel that something is missing.

This is not hypocrisy, but an inexplicable sense of mission.

If I don't finish it, I always feel like there is something in my heart, and I can't calm down.

Now that this dish is finished, Xu Zhuo feels at ease.

The next step is to wait for He Guoan to come over and discuss this matter, and then the college will draw up a charter, and the two parties will sign an employment contract, and both parties will feel at ease.

He Guoan no longer has to worry about work, and he has fulfilled his wish to be a teacher.

And the school also has a top-level first-line chef to share with the students the experience and tips of working in the back kitchen.

This is a win-win outcome.

The only one with losses is probably the Ge family, right?

But who is to blame?

If they hadn't done that before, they wouldn't be reduced to a situation where everyone shouts and beats them now.

So it's better to be low-key, don't be too presumptuous, it's useless.

On the way Xu Zhuo drove back, he realized that he didn't seem to have anything to do before He Guoan arrived.

The college has already said hello, and with Wei Junming and Zheng Guangyao here, nothing will happen.

At home, Xiong Zai is guarded by mother and daughter Pang Lihua and Yu Keke, so there should be no symptoms of stress.

Therefore, these two days should be relatively leisurely.

Since there is nothing to do, how about...

Make poplar nectar and try it?

Chapter 1108 Yangzhi nectar

Yangzhi Ganlu is a classic Hong Kong-style dessert. Driven by the popular TVB dramas in the early years, many mainlanders know the name of this literary and artistic dessert.

Among them, Boss Xu was included.

When he was a child, he once thought that the name Yangzhi Ganlu came from the dessert made from poplar branches.

But by chance, after he tasted the bitter taste of poplar branches, he never thought about it again.

Yang Zhi Gan Lu is a dessert from Lee Garden Restaurant in Hong Kong. At that time, the chefs in the store used sago dew, grapefruit, evaporated milk, coconut milk and other ingredients to make a delicious dessert.

At that time, everyone thought of a bunch of names, but none of them could express the deliciousness of this dessert.

Finally, someone remembered the jade bottle held in the hands of Guanyin Bodhisattva. It is said that the willow branches inserted in it once dropped nectar to save the people during the drought.

The dessert at that time not only quenched the heat and thirst, but was also rich in nutrition. In the hot summer, drinking it was like the nectar from Guanyin Bodhisattva, so it was named Yangzhi nectar.

The name not only represents the taste of this dessert, but also its status.

Even today, when it comes to Hong Kong-style desserts, Yangzhi Ganlu is still on the list.

Poplar nectar is delicious, and the method is naturally very particular.

Yu Keke looked at the ingredients list written by Xu Zhuo, and raised his head in surprise: "Wow, these are so complicated, and they even require the place of origin. Is there any difference?"

In the morning, because Yu Peiyong and his wife were not at home, Yu Changjiang's couple and Xu Zhuo's young couple didn't get up until they woke up naturally.

The four of them were not in the mood to cook at home, so they drove to the first floor for morning tea.
