Food starts with noodles

After the shredded eel was marinated, Xu Zhuo was about to prepare the ingredients for making the shredded eel with fish flavor.

These ingredients are all ready-made. After all, there is a dish of fish-flavored pork shreds in the store, and it sells very well. The ingredients needed to make this dish are very complete.

The shredded fungus and lettuce have been blanched, the chopped pickled peppers have been chopped, and the minced green onion and ginger and water starch are what you want.

After these ingredients were prepared, Xu Zhuo took a bowl, put salt, sugar, mature vinegar, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, broth and water starch into it, and stirred them evenly.

In this way, the sauce used in the fish-flavored eel shreds is ready.

In fact, the recipe of this dish is exactly the same as that of fish-flavored shredded pork, and even the amount of seasoning is exactly the same.

In fact, many dishes in the same series are like this. Just change the main ingredients and it becomes a new dish.

After the sauce was ready, Xu Zhuo waited for a while, and when the shredded eel had been marinated and tasty, he put the frying pan on the stove and prepared to make it.

Heat the pan, add cold oil, slide the pan and pour it out, then put two tablespoons of cold oil back in.

After the oil is hot, pour in the marinated shredded eel, and stir quickly in the pot with a spoon, so that the shredded eel can slip as soon as possible.

In ten seconds at the most, the eel shreds changed color slightly, and the originally soft eel shreds became like shredded pork.

Holding the pot, Xu Zhuo poured the shredded eel and hot oil into the colander on the oil drum, and then put the pot back on the stove.

Then pour the prepared minced ginger and garlic and crushed pickled peppers into the pot, stir-fry over low heat, and try to fry out the aroma of these ingredients and the red oil.

When Xu Zhuo was doing this step, Feng Weiguo and Zhao Jinma next to him were all watching intently.

What the two of them paid attention to was naturally not the taste or texture of the dish. In fact, the two of them already knew what the taste and texture of the dish looked like before Xu Zhuo made it.

The reason why they were so serious was that they wanted to see Xu Zhuo's techniques and basic skills.

Cooking is no different than other industries. If you don't have the basic skills, you can forget about any high-end dishes.

In other words, all advanced dishes are composed of basic cooking skills. The more complicated the dishes are, the more basic skills are used.

For example, Buddha Tiaoqiang, a well-known high-end dish at home and abroad, is actually a fusion of many single dishes.

The techniques used to make those single dishes are all the most basic, and it can be said that anyone can make them theoretically.

Of course, this is only in theory.

Because if you want to make the dish of Buddha jumping over the wall well, you need to use a lot of experience and perfect control of the fire, so it is extremely difficult for newcomers to do it.

When the ingredients in the pot were almost fried, Xu Zhuo turned up the heat, put in shredded lettuce bamboo shoots, shredded fungus, and shredded eel, and started to stir fry.

At this time, the firepower is very strong, so use the technique of a small spoon to stir fry quickly, so as not to overheat and burn the dishes, and at the same time, let several ingredients be mixed evenly.

One minute later, Xu Zhuo poured the prepared sauce into the pot.

Continue to stir-fry to let the sauce hang on several ingredients.

When the soup in the pot dries up, Xu Zhuo sprinkles the chopped green onion and some sesame oil, stir-fry a few times, stir-fry the chopped green onion and sesame oil evenly, and then put it on a plate.

This dish is exactly the same as fish-flavored shredded pork, no matter how it looks or how it smells.

But after eating it, you can find that the texture and taste of shredded eel is still unmatched by shredded pork. Even the shredded pork loin looks a bit dull in front of shredded eel.

This is not only because the pork fiber is thicker, but also in terms of umami, pork is not as good as eel.

However, shredded eel also has disadvantages, that is, the fragrance is not enough.

Xu Zhuo took a sip and put down his chopsticks: "I knew I had just fried it with lard. The smell of the shredded eel is too weak. What do you think, grandpas?"

Feng Weiguo agreed with Xu Zhuo's idea: "Indeed, if lard is used, the only shortcoming of this dish will be made up, and it will taste better."

But Zhao Jinma held a different opinion. He believed that since eel shreds were used, they had to be different from tenderloin shreds.

Otherwise, if you use lard to fry this dish, although the fragrance will be stronger, it will taste exactly the same as fish-flavored shredded pork, and it will not reflect the original taste and characteristics of eel.

The two quarreled again while talking, which made Xu Zhuo feel dumbfounded.

At such an old age, can't you be kind?

Although the fish-flavored eel dish was criticized by Xu Zhuo for its lack of flavor, Yu Keke, who took a taxi to have dinner, enjoyed it.

In her opinion, this dish is more delicious than fish-flavored shredded pork, especially the tender and delicious shredded eel, which was originally a light ingredient, but after being made into a fish-flavored dish, it became much thicker.

It's the stark contrasts and contrasts that make this dish extraordinarily captivating.

She ate two bowls of rice in a row, and she ate all the steamed dishes, even the little soup left on the plate, mixed with rice.

Seeing this scene, Xu Zhuo was a little surprised, but then an idea popped up.

Since this dish is so popular, why not try something new?

If it is possible, isn't this another dish that sells money.

Alas, my family is poor, so I have to work harder to earn money.

Otherwise, when will the courtyards in the capital be settled?

Chapter 1146 Zilong takes off his robe?

But if this dish is new, the demand for eel will be great.

It's not enough to rely on Cui Yong and the others to deliver, and the output over there is estimated to be only enough for the farmhouse. After all, this is a wild eel, the number is limited, and it cannot be overfished.

So we have to find new sources.

The shop that delivers aquatic products to the store only has common freshwater fish and no eel, so if you want to buy it, you have to find another source of supply.

But there is no rush on this matter, because Xu Zhuo has to see everyone's attitudes and reactions to this dish before deciding whether to make a new one.

At noon the next day, Xu Zhuo slaughtered a dozen or so eels, made fish-flavored eel shreds, and gave them to the private rooms that had spent over [-] at noon today to test the waters.

If possible, let Chen Guifang look for sources of goods and start booking.

If it doesn't work, forget it, if you want to eat in the future, just go to Cui Yong directly, anyway, there is enough care there, and you don't even need to do it yourself.

As a result, the customers responded enthusiastically, and several people in the private room said that they did not eat enough and wanted to have another plate.

This kind of feedback made Xu Zhuo feel relieved.

Although he knows that the reason for the popularity of this dish may be that customers simply think that eating eel is healthier for the body, but as long as people eat it, the store will naturally serve it.

This is not only to make money, but also to give guests an impression of kindness, which makes them prefer to come to Sifang Restaurant for dinner.

Now that he had feedback from customers, Xu Zhuo did not hesitate, and immediately contacted Chen Guifang to purchase eels.

The eel does not need to be too large, because only smaller eels can be cut into thin strips like two thick shreds.

If the eel is too big, the meat after deboning will be a bit thick, and it will not be cut into strips, but narrow slices. Although it is delicious, it will not be very good in appearance.

And more importantly...

Small eels are cheap.

Just like that, Sifang Restaurant quietly added a new dish. Everyone who had eaten it said it was good, and it quickly became a must-order dish in the restaurant.

At the same time, the reputation of stewed beef has also been fully launched in the multi-pronged publicity.

This exquisite lo-mei dish has won praise from countless people, and many customers who have eaten it have spontaneously become the "tap water" of this delicacy.

Not only to share with relatives, friends and netizens, but even set off a scolding war with fans of other brands of braised beef on the Internet.

Xu Zhuo naturally stopped this kind of behavior in time, as long as everyone thinks it tastes good, there is no need to step on other brands.

While online word-of-mouth was fermenting, the offline stores had also signed contracts.

Next, it's time to design the door, and let Xue Chunfeng's decoration company start the decoration.

After the opening, if you want to come to the provincial capital, you will be able to completely stabilize your position, and Xu Zhuo's reputation will rise with the tide again.

But these are things for later, Xu Zhuo doesn't pay much attention to fame, he prefers money.

After all, the main task can only be completed with money, and fame or something is just an added value. It is better to have it, and it doesn't matter if you don't have it.

As the reputation of stewed beef increases, customers in the store prefer this dish even more.

Almost every table orders, and some people even order two or three dishes in one go, so that some can be taken away.

Because what is sold in the store is marinated by the back kitchen, while what is sold online is industrially produced, savvy customers can naturally distinguish the good from the bad, so despite the high price of beef in the store, they still choose to buy it in the store.

The popularity of braised beef has also brought new customers to the store. Almost every day, fans from other places take the high-speed rail or come to check in.

Some of these people happily left after eating and taking pictures, while others kept asking the waiter to meet and take a picture with Xu Zhuo.

Some people even started the live broadcast on purpose, asking Xu Zhuo to come out and say something to his fans.

Once rejected by the waiter, he began to mock Xu Zhuo for being arrogant and forgetful.

Anyway, it was just hard work, which made the waiters in the store miserable, but it was hard to say anything.

This kind of hype has existed before, but it has not been so intensified, nor is it so presumptuous.

For example, when four or five people come, they just order a plate of beef, and they don’t like to eat it, so they start a live broadcast and make all kinds of criticisms, which is clearly fishing.

Regardless of whether they can attract Xu Zhuo's fans or black fans, as long as they enter their live broadcast room, their plan will succeed.

"Boss, this kind of people who rub the heat is really disgusting, why don't you drive them away? Now these people are too shameless to be famous, and no matter how we treat them, as long as we respond, they will win. This is too embarrassing. .”

While eating breakfast, Zheng Jia began to complain to Xu Zhuo.

To let go of her past temper, she would have just picked up the keyboard and started working, but now there are too many people like this, and even if the live broadcast room is closed, they will open another one immediately.

Internet heavy blows are completely useless to such people, and may even be counterproductive.

That's enough of a headache.

Xu Zhuo took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun and said, "We run a shop and do business, so please be patient when you meet such a person."

He originally planned to let the waiters bear it, but what Zheng Jia said next made Xu Zhuo have to pay attention to this matter.

"Boss, they really affect the business of the store. If you can't order a few dishes in a seat, and sit for hours, our table turnover rate is affected by them.

Moreover, they talked very loudly on purpose, making the noise at the next table not good. Everyone basically left in a hurry after eating, and some even said they would never come again. "

what?

Affect business?

Xu Zhuo quit now, I don't care if you shoot the video, and you can pretend not to see it if it's popular.

But if you want to affect the business in my store and delay my earning money, then I'm sorry, I can't tolerate it for a minute.

Xu Zhuo quickly thought of a solution.

The first is to prohibit the live broadcast in the lobby in the name of violating the privacy of customers. If you want to broadcast live, you can go to the private room, there is no restriction there.

In addition, the private room will set a minimum consumption from today.

Although this method cannot completely eliminate live broadcasts, it can also allow most of the fans to leave. Even if they don't leave, they have to pay a certain price, such as meeting the minimum consumption limit of private rooms.

After dealing with this problem, the eel delivery man came.

Last time Xu Zhuo asked them to send a little bit, and felt that the dishes tasted good, so he asked them to send more this time, and added an aquarium in the back kitchen by the way.

This thing is not like a fish, it can be placed in the front to attract customers, the eel looks too much like a snake, in order not to arouse the resentment and fear of customers, so Xu Zhuo decided to keep the eel in the back kitchen.

To avoid being seen by those who are phobic of snakes.

After making these arrangements, Xu Zhuo continued to eat. Yuan Kang looked at the eels and said, "I remember that there is a famous eel dish in Hunan cuisine, called Zilong Tuopao, which is a representative dish of Hunan style stir-fry. Xu Zhuo have you heard of it?"

Zilong takes off his robe?

Xu Zhuo didn't care about it at first, but the name made him suddenly think of the general's robe he got a few days ago, and suddenly thought of a possibility, this...

It can't be the same dish, can it?

Chapter 1147 Xu Zhuo: I'm the best at pretending

Xu Zhuo looked at Yuan Kang and asked, "Do you know how Zilong takes off his robe?"

Yuan Kang smiled: "I don't know how to cook. I don't know the specific method. I only know that the dish is peeled and shredded eel, stir-fried with magnolia slices, green peppers and perilla leaves. It comes in four colors and is very pretty."

Ok?
