Food starts with noodles

After Xu Zhuo adjusted the soup in the pot to the color of fried liver, he scooped up some soup with a spoon and tasted it.

It was a little bland, and he put some more salt into the pot.

After cooking for a while, he brought the pot of starch water over and started to thicken the sauce.

Thickening is an essential step in making fried liver, and it is best to use mung bean thicken, so that the fried liver tastes right.

When thickening the sauce, the fire should not be too high, but should be adjusted to a low fire to prevent the pot from boiling too much.

In that case, as soon as the starch water is poured into the pot, it will turn into gnocchi one by one under the action of boiling water, and it will not be able to blend into the soup.

In addition, when thickening, be sure to use a spoon to scoop up the starch water and pour it into the pot one spoon at a time, stir it with a spoon a few times every time you pour it, and pour another spoonful after confirming that the starch water has melted into the soup.

You can't pour all the starch water into it, otherwise the fried liver will be absolutely inedible.

Xu Zhuo used a spoon to stir the slightly precipitated starch water in the basin, then scooped up a spoonful and poured it into the pot.

After stirring twice, the starch water disappeared, while the soup in the pot became slightly thicker.

This is naturally not enough, Xu Zhuo continued to thicken the corn in this way, and poured about ten spoonfuls of starch water into the pot until the hot water in the pot was really thickened.

However, this soup is only at the level of Hu spicy soup, and it is still much thinner than fried liver.

Xu Zhuo thickened two more spoonfuls of starch water, and when the pig intestines in the pot no longer sank to the bottom and could freely suspend in the soup, he stopped thickening it.

At the same time, he also explained: "The reason why the fried liver sold in those shops in Beijing is so thick is to save ingredients. They don't put much large intestine and liver, so they can only thicken the soup as much as possible. In order to appear weighty.

But there is no need for us to eat it by ourselves. There is nothing to eat with so much starch. If we want to eat it, we still eat meat. "

Xu Zhuo stirred the pot twice with a spoon, and when he was sure that there was no raw starch in the pot, he poured the blanched pork livers into the pot.

The pork liver must be thickened before pouring, so that the taste of the pork liver will be more tender and the taste will not be bitter.

If the pork liver is put in before thickening, it will definitely be overcooked, and it will not only taste dry and hard, but also taste bitter.

Stir the pork liver with a spoon and let it evenly mix into the pot.

After completing this step, Xu Zhuo turned off the fire, and then poured all the remaining minced garlic into the pot.

After stirring, cover the pot and simmer for two to three minutes, to kill the strong smell of raw garlic, and at the same time stifle the garlic smell into the fried liver.

After this step is done, the Fried Liver is considered ready.

Xu Zhuo lifted the lid of the pot, smelled the strong smell of garlic in the air, looked at the dark and sticky soup in the pot, and said to the leader: "The fried liver is ready, let's have a taste taste?"

In Yangzhou, in fact, many people have only heard of the name of fried liver, but have never eaten it.

They took it for granted that since it is a famous food in the capital, it must be very delicious.

But now looking at the dark and very viscous fried liver in the pot, coupled with the strong garlic smell, the leader's mentality collapsed a bit.

But if he dared to refuse now, he would definitely be slapping Xu Zhuo in the face.

So he had no choice but to nod his head and try to force a smile: "That's fine, then I'll have a taste today."

Xu Zhuo served a bowl for everyone, and some steamed stuffed buns from the cafeteria also went well with these fried livers.

The fried liver is delicious, and when Xu Zhuo made it, he deliberately made it less salty. With the strong garlic flavor, it goes well with the steamed meat buns in the cafeteria.

The fat sausage inside is very fragrant, soft and full of flavor.

As for the liver slices, they are soft and delicious, and taste very good.

The minced garlic inside not only has the effect of relieving greasiness, but also is very fragrant, so it is very enjoyable to eat with it.

Xu Zhuo ate two bowls in one go, and then put down the bowls and chopsticks with a full belch.

Others, however, have not been so smooth.

Especially for those who grew up in Yangzhou, the bland taste has almost been imprinted in their bones, so it is somewhat uncomfortable to eat such heavy food at the moment.

Especially the minced garlic in the bowl, for those who don't eat raw garlic, it is absolutely unpalatable.

But after eating it for a while and gradually getting used to the taste of raw garlic, I feel pretty good.

While eating, everyone chatted about the delicacies in the capital. From their point of view, half of those delicacies belonged to dark cuisines.

And even the desserts in the capital are a bit rough in the eyes of Yangzhou people who are accustomed to exquisiteness, at least not as good as those desserts in Yangzhou.

One side of the land and the other side of the people, everyone thinks that their hometown is the best, Xu Zhuo understands this.

After all, in his opinion, no matter how good the fried liver tastes, there is no bowl of Hu spicy soup that makes people dream. After all, people in Central Plains eat this.

Two days later, Xu Zhuo drove back with Wei Junming Yu Keke and Xiong Zai who had just adapted to the Dabie wilderness.

Everything has been settled, Xu Wenhai's letter of appointment has been received, the culinary academy has officially entered the summer vacation, and He Guoan has successfully entered the university to teach.

Next, it's time to go back and work hard to make money.

If you don't live in a villa, you don't know how good it is. After you get used to it, let alone Xiong Zai, even Xu Zhuo doesn't want to go back.

So many rooms, so many rooms, and all the rooms are functional, which is really cool.

For example, Yu's house has various rooms such as audio-visual room, gym, meditation room, wine tasting room, etc. Xu Zhuo really felt the happiness of rich people.

You must work hard to earn money. If you have money, you can live in such a house. It's very cool to think about it!

After returning to the provincial capital, Xu Wenhai surrounded him as soon as he got out of the car.

"Where's the letter of appointment? Come and show me."

Old Xu really didn't have any city mansion, so he was so excited with a letter of appointment.

While Xu Zhuo complained in his heart, he took out the letter of appointment from his bag and handed it to him.

As soon as it was handed over to Xu Wenhai, the system's notification sound suddenly rang in his mind.

"The host helped Xu Wenhai get the honor of a visiting professor, and a special reward for a C-level braised dish—beef sauce. Congratulations to the host."

Chapter 1121 Sauce Beef

Sauce beef?

Xu Zhuo's heart fluttered, he just prepared to make a lot of money and came to such a dish that can make money, the system really loves me.

Among all kinds of stewed meat, the stewed sauced beef is the one that can win the hearts of people all over the country at the same time.

No matter in Yunnan or Northeast China, whether it is in the southeast coast or in the northwest, sauced beef is a long-lasting lo-mei, and it can even be said to be a lo-mei that breaks geographical restrictions.

There are many lo mei all over the country, but they all have some local characteristics.

For example, sweet-skinned duck is mainly prosperous in Sichuan and Chongqing, while salted salted duck is more popular in Hunan. This is a typical geographical restriction.

But the stewed beef dish is not so restrictive.

Although the ingredients used to make this lo-mei are slightly different between the south and the north, the taste is basically the same.

Even the way of eating is exactly the same. The beef is sliced ​​or cut into pieces and put on a plate directly. You don’t need to put any ingredients, just eat it with chopsticks.

Only in this way can you taste the stewed aroma of beef, the rich taste and deliciousness of beef.

A good sauced beef is tender and delicious, and the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.

If it is paired with a glass of wine, it will be even more hopeless.

Among the many appetizers, peanuts are basically in the top position. The only one that can compete with peanuts should be this sauced beef.

And eating beef has always been the most yearning thing for Chinese people.

Not to mention modern times, even the ancients thought so.

In "Water Margin", as soon as those heroes appeared on the stage, most of them shouted "Xiao Er, cut two catties of beef, and have a jar of wine", and their heroism was undoubtedly displayed.

If it was changed to "Xiaoer, give me a pork knuckle", the heroic spirit will be greatly reduced.

After all, it is recognized by the world that heroes eat beef.

If you want to eat elbows, what kind of a hero is that?

Up to now, there are many ways to eat beef, but the status of sauced beef has always been stable.

For weddings and funerals, the participation of sauced beef is basically indispensable.

But whether the taste is good or not is another matter. After all, everyone’s mouth is full of mouths these days. Stewed beef with sauce is easy to buy, but the taste is recognized as delicious, and there are only a few in a city.

According to the positioning of the system, the C-level signature beef sauce obtained this time can easily become popular with Xu Zhuo.

Not only will it become popular in the store, but it will also become popular in the brine window and Xu Xiaochu's online store.

This is not Xu Zhuo's arrogance, but mainly because he is more confident in the skills rewarded by the system.

And with such a big reputation, it's time to try it out.

In the past, Xu Zhuo never called on fans to buy something new in the store, but this time he planned to promote the sauced beef.

The specific publicity plan can be handed over to Yuan Kang, Xu Zhuo only needs to make the sauced beef, and the rest will naturally be handled by a special person.

This is the advantage of building an excellent team. Everyone performs their duties and develops their own strengths, so as to maximize the benefits.

But now is not the time to make sauced beef, because it is a bit too hasty to make sauced beef just after getting off the car.

And if you want to make this sauced beef, you have to go to Cao Kun first, discuss it with him first, and then try to make it. The appearance of the sauced beef is much more logical.

After unloading the things they brought from Yangzhou, Xu Zhuo, Wei Junming and Yu Keke had lunch at the store at three o'clock in the afternoon.

After the meal, Wei Junming drove away.

Xu Zhuo first sent Yu Keke and Xiong Zai home, then drove to the company, first chatted with Yuan Kang about the recent situation, and checked the company's recent turnover.

Thanks to the Ge family's series of coquettish operations, Xu Zhuo's reputation has steadily increased, and the sales of Xu Xiaochu's online store have also increased to a certain extent.

"Yuan Kang, I'm going to serve sauced beef in the store, where should we start promoting?"

Sitting in the office, Xu Zhuo brought out the problems in his heart.

Yuan Kang was a little surprised, is it going to be new again?

But that's okay, now that it's summer vacation, the online store is planning to hold a wave of summer activities, and if there are new products on the market, they can be promoted just in time.

Moreover, the platform side also made an appointment to hold an event this month, and the new sauced beef can make the online store more profitable.

He thought for a while and said: "This has to be done from many aspects. Simply shooting a video or something can no longer stimulate everyone."

Yuan Kang lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said his plan: "Let Lao Meng and Miss Zhou set up a foreshadowing during the live broadcast, for example, a new product will be launched soon, don't point out that it is beef sauce, and leave the suspense first.

At the same time, Li Hao tried to create an article about the benefits of eating beef, preferably humorous and in-depth, and then push it on our official account to attract everyone's attention.

Then I will take a video of making sauced beef for you, make the sauced beef, and then publicize it on the official account and live broadcast to stir up the heat.

Finally, the sauced beef is new on the online store, and there will be another promotion.Promote it on Weibo, and then find some popular anchors and try it again.

By the way, I organized an activity to eat sauced beef on Weibo, and got some bonuses, and the popularity suddenly rose. "

Xu Zhuo was very relieved when he explained the publicity plan in a few words. Fortunately, Yuan Kang was recruited by an idea at that time, otherwise this kind of thing could not be handled by himself.

But it can't be publicized yet, at least until the sauced beef has been mass-produced, because once it is publicized, the activities in the store will have to follow suit.

If the sauced beef is out of stock when the heat is high, the loss will be too great.

Maybe other stores selling sauced beef will pop up to show their presence.

We must avoid this from happening. Although we are a good person, we cannot always make wedding dresses for others.

After finalizing the publicity plan with Yuan Kang, Xu Zhuo drove back to Sifang Restaurant, intending to talk to Cao Kun about the sauced beef.

Originally, he wanted to wait, but after chatting with Yuan Kang, he realized that he had to start now, and he couldn't delay any longer, because the online store had to stock up first.

Moreover, although the amount of restaurant production is relatively large, compared with real commercial production, the scale is too small, and it is necessary to find a method that can produce in large quantities.

So, talk to Cao Kun more, in case he has a way.

When he came to the back kitchen, Xu Zhuo strolled to the stewed food department.

The marinade department is usually busy in the morning, and at this moment, it has basically done the whole day's work, and the rest of the work is to marinate the ingredients for tomorrow.

In addition, during the evening rush hour, some people go to the small window to cut braised pork or something.

The work is not heavy.

When Xu Zhuo came to the stewed food department, he happened to see Cao Kun holding a piece of beef tendon in a daze.

Xu Zhuo was overjoyed at the first sight, how to start with this worry, I didn't expect that Cao Kun was already ready.
