Food starts with noodles

Chapter 1117

There is a layer of bright green lettuce leaves on top of the clean white porcelain plate.

And among the lettuce leaves was a duck with a rosy color and a tangy aroma.

On the duck, there is also a pinch of shredded red pepper.

This is the red grilled autumn duck made by Xu Zhuo.

In terms of appearance, it is more outstanding than the belt facing up, and the bones of the duck body have been smashed, so the duck's lines are round and full, and it looks very greedy.

Everyone looked at Xu Zhuo's duck, and they didn't move their chopsticks, but expressed their emotions.

To be precise, listen to Zheng Guangyao's emotion.

When he was the head chef at the back kitchen of the state banquet, he had a high spirit, so he looked down on the new Yu Peiyong.

But not long after, Yu Peiyong's red grilled autumn duck was unanimously praised by the leaders, and Yu Peiyong entered Zheng Guangyao's sight.

Although he was very unconvinced, Yu Peiyong's craftsmanship was really good.

Especially the red grilled autumn duck, no one in the whole back kitchen can fault it.

Recalling these past events, Zheng Guangyao was filled with emotion.

Of course, he didn't mention Xu Jimin, the head chef of the state banquet back then, but simply recalled the past.

At the same time, he also said: "Actually, in our Cantonese cuisine, there is also a dish of grilled duck called Babao grilled duck. I can teach you if you want to learn it in the future, Xiao Zhuo."

Xu Zhuo knows how to cook duck with eight treasures. It is to remove the bones from the whole duck, stuff it with eight treasures stuffing, deep-fry it in a pot to set the shape, and then put it in a casserole until it is fully cooked.

Finally, take it out of the pan and put it on a plate, thicken the remaining soup and pour the juice.

It is very similar to bagged chicken, the only difference is that there is an extra step of frying and pouring sauce.

But Xu Zhuo doesn't want to learn it now, because the skills he has devoted himself to learning are still cooling down, so even if he wants to learn it, he can't learn it.

Besides, learning this dish is not as good as learning eight-treasure gourd duck.

The recipes of the two dishes are almost the same, they are both deep-fried and grilled in a casserole, but the difference is that the eight-treasure gourd duck has a better appearance and is more famous.

The eight-treasure grilled duck in Cantonese cuisine has reached the point of being lost.

There is no way, the food circle is also a world that depends on the face, and the dishes that look good will be more popular.

Moreover, this dish is blessed by the story of Qianlong going to the south of the Yangtze River. In this respect, the eight-treasure grilled duck in Cantonese cuisine seems much weaker.

They can't compete with others in terms of appearance, and they have been killed by others in culture, but they are very similar. The failure of Babao Braised Duck is obvious.

This is like the catchphrase on the Internet: It's not scary to bump into a shirt, it's embarrassing whoever is ugly.

Xu Zhuo put away his thoughts and began to taste the red grilled autumn duck that he made.

The duck meat is extremely rotten, and the duck meat will automatically separate when you pull it lightly with chopsticks.

Pick up a piece of meat with the belt and put it into your mouth, the first thing you feel is the moistness of duck meat.

This profit is not only because of the fat in the duck meat, but also has something to do with the method.

This dish is made by simmering in a casserole over low heat. Instead of losing the water in the meat, it absorbs a lot of soup because the meat fiber is gradually fluffy.

These soups are the reason why this dish tastes moist.

In addition to moistening, the aroma of this dish is also very unique.

It smells like duck meat, pork, shiitake mushrooms and scallion oil.

Even under careful tasting, you can still taste the sweet aroma of Chinese cabbage.

So many scents blend together, not to mention eating, even just a couple of sips, it is very enjoyable.

The compound fragrance is the most charming, not only the fragrance is complex, but also thicker than the single fragrance.

The taste is moist and the taste is fragrant. These two points alone are enough to make many people salivate.

However, this dish is so soft that even a toothless person can eat it happily.

This is the advantage of famous dishes, there are no restrictions, and it can cater to the tastes of most people, unlike some controversial dishes, those who like it love it so much, and those who don’t like it feel sick when they hear it.

The red grilled autumn duck has no such feeling at all, even people who don't like duck will come to have a couple of bites.

In addition to the rotten duck meat, the bones of this dish can be easily removed.

Even people with bad teeth can pick up the joints of duck leg bones and savor the cartilage on the joints.

Yu Keke picked up a piece of duck meat and put it in her mouth, sucked it lightly and ate it into her mouth. While chewing, she sighed: "I have eaten red grilled autumn duck many times before, but I think the taste is the best this time." .”

As soon as she finished speaking, Pang Lihua patted her on the head lightly: "How do you talk? How sad it would be if your grandpa heard this? But Xiao Zhuo did a good job, I can't get enough of it."

Yu Changjiang on the side smiled helplessly and continued to eat.

The younger brother in the family is comparable to Boss Xu.

Although the duck is not small, there are many people at noon today, so this red grilled autumn duck was eaten quickly.

Wei Junming looked at Xu Zhuo and asked, "How is it? Do you have any new plans for Sifang Restaurant?"

Xu Zhuo thought for a while, then shook his head and rejected the proposal.

The red grilled autumn duck dish has distinctive characteristics and delicious taste. It may be very popular in the Jiangnan area, but in the Central Plains, the audience is less.

First of all, the meat is too mushy. Although it has a slight texture, it is not chewy overall.

Besides the taste, although it is very fragrant, this kind of salty and fresh taste is too simple. When customers first eat it, it may be eye-catching, but if they eat too much, they will definitely get tired.

Relatively speaking, people in the Central Plains still prefer dishes such as Bandit Duck Braised Duck with bright taste and refreshing taste.

After Xu Zhuo explained the reason, Wei Junming nodded: "If you look at the profit, the red grilled autumn duck is really not very suitable for new restaurants. You just need to understand this. Want a new one."

After eating and drinking enough, Xu Zhuo drove the three of Wei Junming to the culinary academy, and then returned to the villa for a good night's sleep.

The affairs here are basically settled, and now only Xu Wenhai's letter of appointment as a visiting professor has not yet been issued.

Xu Zhuo planned to go back when he got the letter of appointment.

The boring atmosphere of this villa is too strong, and it is easy to lose fighting spirit after staying for a long time.

Relatively speaking, my own house is better. Although it is small, it is warm enough.

And the layout is reasonable, and there is a computer in the study, which is full of various fun games...

That's right, after Boss Xu lived there for a few days, he missed the games on the computer again.

Although Pang Lihua bought Xu Zhuo a PS4 two days ago, Xu Zhuo is not used to using the controller.

In his eyes, mouse and key operation is king.

Especially when playing shooting games, aiming with the handle is really painful.

Originally, Xu Zhuo thought that getting Xu Wenhai's letter of appointment would be a sure thing, but he didn't expect something to happen at the end.

The leader in charge of this matter wanted to eat a snack from the capital, and asked He Guoan to help with it, but He Guoan refused on the grounds that he would not know it.

The leader seemed to have lost face, vented his anger on Xu Zhuo, and withheld Lao Xu's letter of appointment.

This kind of hooliganism made Xu Zhuo a little speechless, are you playing an official role in front of He Guoan and meddling in my affairs?

Besides, He Guoan is also true. If he wants to eat, he can cook it. He puts on airs when he first arrives, which is not conducive to getting along with his colleagues.

Having nothing to do, Xu Zhuo called Zheng Guangyao, wanting to ask him what the leader wanted to eat.

As a result, Zheng Guangyao mentioned the name of a delicacy in Beijing.

"Fried liver!"

Chapter 1118 Cooking Fried Liver

When Xu Zhuo heard that it was fried liver, he was immediately happy.

He had obtained this skill a long time ago in the capital, and he had never used it.

Is the system arranged to be used here?

At this moment, Xu Zhuo understood why He Guoan refused, because it belonged to the category of snacks and had nothing to do with the dishes.

Just like ordering Hu spicy soup at a big restaurant in Zhongyuan, it is purely embarrassing.

Of course, this is also related to He Guoan's unwillingness to do it, otherwise even if he doesn't know how to do it, he can figure it out.

Snacks, especially those that are widely circulated, are not difficult to make. If only one or two people know how to make them, they may have been lost long ago.

Having nothing to do, Xu Zhuo talked to Zheng Guangyao about the leader's situation on the phone.

It stands to reason that being able to become a leader should not be so unreasonable.

He can be angry, and he can take revenge on He Guoan, but he shouldn't use this dishonest way.

Those who play politics should have dirtier wrists.

As a result, Zheng Guangyao said on the phone that Xu Zhuo knew what was going on.

In the final analysis, it is actually because of face.

One of the relatives of the leader came to the academy, and he just walked around here and then went back. Who knows that the leader might be more excited to see his relatives. He boasted that there are chefs who can cook anything in the academy, so he asked his relatives to order. Someone does what you order.

The relative happened to see the banners and posters welcoming He Guoan before, and seeing that He Guoan was from the capital, he casually said that he wanted to eat fried liver.

If you want to eat it, find someone to do it.

The leader called He Guoan. At first he thought it was a matter of doing something, but He Guoan refused.

First of all, he is not good at this kind of snacks. He is a person who cooks big dishes, so he will not focus on this kind of folk snacks.

Secondly, this is not the task of the academy, so there is no need for him to be so active.

Otherwise, there are so many people in the academy, one person wants to eat roast duck today, and the other wants to eat fried belly tomorrow, what a waste of time it goes on like this.

He Guoan came to be a teacher, not a home cook, so he simply refused.

Originally, I refused and refused, but the relative got excited.

Laughing at this leader for his lack of official authority, not knowing how to control people, not knowing how to train employees and so on, he forced the leader's anger out.

Since there is anger, it is natural to vent it.

He is currently accepting the appointment letter of Xu Wenhai's visiting professor, so he said that he will not give the letter of appointment if there is no fried liver.

In fact, the meaning was to ask He Guoan to make the fried liver and let him save face.

Even if he apologizes later.

But this morning He Guoan returned to the capital, so he ignored this.

It's not that he didn't respond, it's because he didn't think it was a problem. It's the summer vacation now, and he had never been with He Yan before. This year, he managed to find some time this year, so naturally he wants to spend more time with his children.

After asking about the Culinary Academy's recent lack of work arrangements, he hurriedly left this morning and returned to the capital.

Family is also more important than work.

Then this matter was put on hold here, and the leader lost face twice, and the mood can be imagined.

This made Xu Zhuo very speechless, even this kind of trouble can appear, really...

He was just about to complain that anyone can be a leader, when he suddenly had an idea and realized a problem.

"Could this be the intervention of the system? Just to force myself to implement the university cooking class in the Central Plains as soon as possible?"

When this idea was first formed in his mind, Xu Zhuo himself was overjoyed.

This is completely irrelevant.

But if you think about it carefully, it's really possible.

If there is a similar academy in other places now, would the leaders of Yangda Culinary Academy dare to use the teachers of the school as home cooks?

I'm afraid everyone will resign and leave if there is a disagreement, right?
