Food starts with noodles

In addition to sugar, Xu Zhuo put a handful of washed dried red dates and goji berries into the pot. These are not necessary ingredients, but they can enrich the sweetness of lotus root.

And put these in, after the lotus root is ready and fished out, these soups can also be drunk as sugar water, which can be regarded as making the best use of everything.

After putting these, Xu Zhuo covered the casserole and started to boil.

Chapter 1126

Soon, the casserole boiled.

Xu Zhuo turned the fire to medium-low and let the lotus root in the pot simmer slowly, while he sat on the side and started playing with his mobile phone.

When making this sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root, it is actually good to put some red yeast rice in the pot. The glutinous rice lotus root made in this way is red and ruddy in color, which is very beautiful.

But today Xu Zhuo chose to use brown sugar for coloring, so no red yeast rice was added.

If you eat for yourself, you must be as affordable as possible, and you don't need to pursue appearance too much.

In addition, if you use red yeast rice for coloring, you can’t use a casserole, you have to use a pressure cooker, because the color of red yeast rice is too fast, if you put red yeast rice in the casserole, the color of glutinous rice and lotus root will be different Like braised pork, it looks greasy.

Relatively speaking, when this kind of low heat is cooked slowly, the color of brown sugar is more natural, because it is slow, and the color of brown sugar is lighter than that of red yeast rice.

No matter how long the cooking time is, the color will not be too serious.

The lotus root needs to be cooked for several hours, so I won’t be able to eat it at noon today, and after cooking, I have to dry it until it’s not too hot to eat. With the current weather, Xu Zhuo estimates that he won’t be able to cut it up for everyone to taste until he is about to get off work in the afternoon taste.

This is actually quite good, there is food waiting for everyone, and the employees are also very energetic in their work.

While waiting to eat, the working hours are over. It can be said that the working hours are not occupied at all, but it also gives everyone the motivation to work hard.

From this point of view, the dish you chose is not bad.

The cameramen went back to do other things after taking these shots, and came to shoot when it was almost finished. After all, it would take a few hours. Even if they wanted to wait here, the company leaders would not agree.

Soon Xu Zhuo was the only one left in the room. He had nothing to do and wandered to Li Hao's office.

Because Li Hao likes to eat more, and he is not short of money, this guy equipped himself with a small refrigerator, which contains various snacks and cold drinks that need to be refrigerated.

Li Hao is not here at the moment, it seems that he has gone to a meeting.

Xu Zhuo unceremoniously took out a bottle of iced Coca-Cola, and took away the caterpillar bread and dark chocolate cake for one person that Li Hao bought as an extra meal.

After returning to the studio where the video was shot, Xu Zhuo lay down on the sofa and began to enjoy the delicious food.

When Xu Zhuo was in high school, he liked to eat caterpillar bread. On the surface, this thing looks ordinary, with only a thin strip of butter on the surface.

But when you eat it, you will find that there is another world inside.

Especially the more expensive caterpillars, when eating, the cream inside will gush out instantly.

When I was in high school, time was tight, and I usually bought one or two caterpillar breads on the way to school, and ate them directly in the classroom when I was hungry.

Sometimes when eating caterpillar bread in class, just in time for the teacher to answer questions by name, he would stand up with his mouth full of cream, like Santa Claus.

Thinking of high school life, Xu Zhuo seemed to be many years younger.

"If there was a system at that time, my life would have changed a lot, right?"

Xu Zhuo was thinking about this question while eating, but when he thought about playing games for four years in college, he suddenly felt that it was nothing without a system.

Well, for a game nerd, nothing is more important than games.

"Meow~"

He was thinking about these things, when a cat meow brought Xu Zhuo back to reality.

Turning his face around, Xiong Zai was squatting at the door, staring straight at the caterpillar bread in Xu Zhuo's hand.

The relationship between Xiong Zai and Xu Zhuo is very strange. Usually, when they need to play, this little guy is as far away from Xu Zhuo as possible.

Only when it was hungry or bored would it come to look for Xu Zhuo.

Xu Zhuo thought that the little guy wanted to eat caterpillar bread, but found that Xiong Zai squatted at the door for a while, then walked towards the stove.

When he was about three or four meters away from the stove, the little guy stopped, climbed onto a chair next to him, and began to take a nap.

Xu Zhuo stared blankly at this scene, and it took him a while to react.

It's cold?

Thinking about it, there are some young people in the company, and the work and rest have been irregular in recent days, and the food is a bit greasy, so everyone turns on the air conditioner somewhat.

It doesn't matter to humans, but it's a bit unbearable to cats.

Whenever summer comes, cats will shed a lot of hair, especially the fluff with good thermal insulation will fall down in handfuls, in order to adapt to the high temperature environment in summer.

However, with the advent of air conditioning, the environment where cats live is no longer high temperature, but a low temperature environment.

In this case, the cat will naturally be afraid of the cold.

After figuring this out, Xu Zhuo didn't bother the fat cat who was warming up in front of the stove in summer, but drank Coke and ate desserts, enjoying himself.

After eating and drinking enough, Xu Zhuo got up and looked at the lotus root simmering in the casserole.

After more than an hour of stewing, the lotus root has been cooked and colored. The ruddy color looks very appetizing. In addition, the soup in the pot has become thicker, and the sweet taste goes straight to it. Drill in the nostrils.

It tasted so good that it called all the bear cubs who were warming up in their chairs.

But it's useless for Xiongzi to look at it, because it can't eat this kind of dessert.

"Don't look around, this is not something you can eat, I will get you some meat later."

These lotus roots have to continue to be stewed, because the lotus roots are only cooked through at this time, and have not yet softened and waxy. After Xu Zhuo turned the lotus roots over, he covered the pot and turned the heat down again. Continue to simmer.

Then he got Xiong Zai something to eat, and started ordering takeaway from Sifang Restaurant with his mobile phone.

I couldn't go back at noon today, and Xu Zhuo didn't bother to eat with Yuan Kang and Li Hao, so he ordered a few stir-fried dishes with the ordering applet, ordered rice, and submitted the order.

I ate this takeaway today because I was too lazy to run back and forth, and Xu Zhuo also wanted to see if the takeaway in the store was different from eating in the store.

You can't do it carefully in the store, but just make do with the takeaway.

Recently, it's time to gain fame, and people can't get caught and poke it online.

At this moment, Sifang Restaurant and I are on the cusp of the storm, and any black spot may be infinitely enlarged under the promotion of someone with a heart, so we must be cautious.

As soon as Xu Zhuo ordered takeaway, Yu Keke came over after a meeting. She hugged Xiong Zai, who was washing his face with his paws after eating, "I'm a little hungry, when are we going to eat?"

Xu Zhuo pointed to the stove not far away: "There is still glutinous rice and lotus root cooking in the pot, let's eat here at noon, I just ordered some takeaway..."

While talking, Xiong Zai broke free from Yu Keke's embrace, and returned to the chair to lie on his stomach again, holding it with his little hand, no one loved him.

Yu Keke was very puzzled, Xiong Zai was usually willing to play with her, what happened today?

She turned her face to look at Xu Zhuo and asked, "What is it doing?"

Xu Zhuo said, "Keep warm."

Chapter 1127 Osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root

Xu Zhuo explained to Yu Keke why Xiong Zai was afraid of heat, and the girl finally understood.

Half an hour later, the takeaway arrived. A few stir-fried dishes were served with a soup and rice. The young couple ate very happily.

During the meal, people from the company kept coming to ask when the sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root would be ready. Obviously, everyone couldn't wait.

"Everyone should eat and eat. I will bring it to you when it is ready. Don't worry, everyone, let's have lunch first."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, there was only half of the soup in the casserole. At this moment, the skin of the lotus root in the pot had turned a little dark red, and the whole lotus root had become soft and waxy, so the fire could be turned off.

Xu Zhuo turned off the heat on the stove, put the casserole aside, lifted the lid, and started to cool down.

At this time, the lotus root in the pot has become very soft, so you can't move it. You have to wait for the temperature to drop before changing the knife to the plate, and pour the honey juice made of sweet-scented osmanthus by the way.

After cooling, the lotus root will become slightly harder, and it will be easier to shape if you change the knife.

And soak it in the pot now, so that the sweetness in the soup can penetrate into the lotus root better, making the lotus root taste better.

This step may seem simple, but the cooling is very slow, because the soup in the pot has high sugar content, and the cooling is slow. Xu Zhuo waited for more than an hour before the temperature of the soup and lotus root in the pot dropped to the point where it was not hot. the point.

While waiting for the lotus root to cool down, Xu Zhuo was not idle. He scooped out a small pot of soup from the pot, then brought the sugar osmanthus that he had prepared earlier, and started to boil the honey juice to be poured on the lotus root.

However, when cooking honey juice, you must first filter the soup a little bit, and remove the goji berries and red dates that are used for flavor during cooking.

After taking it out, Xu Zhuo put the frying pan on, poured the soup into it, then poured in a small pot of sweet-scented osmanthus, and slowly stirred it evenly with a spoon.

Because the soup itself is hot, and there is not much added, it was boiled quickly, and the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus began to permeate the room.

The smell is so tempting that several cameramen who came to shoot couldn't help sniffling.

But this alone was not enough. When the soup in the pot boiled, Xu Zhuo added a little water starch to the pot, which not only made the soup thicker, but also made the soup more transparent. It will make people more appetite.

Then, he poured some peanut oil into the pot, so that the aroma of the honey juice would be stronger, and at the same time, it would look more oily, making it appetizing.

As for honey juice, it is qualified only if it is oily and sticky.

After finishing these, Xu Zhuo turned off the fire, poured the boiled honey juice into a small basin to cool down, and poured the juice after the lotus root was cut.

These honey juices are ruddy in color and full of fragrance, and there are some sweet-scented osmanthus flowers dotted inside, which can be said to be full of color, fragrance and taste.

After pouring the juice, the only thing left is to change the lotus root to a plate.

When the lotus root was no longer hot, Xu Zhuo carefully scooped out the lotus root from the pot with a colander.

He first removed all the toothpicks from the previous lotus root head, and put the lotus root head aside. There is no glutinous rice in it, and its appearance is slightly inferior, so it is not placed on the plate.

After finishing these, Xu Zhuo took a slicing knife and placed the lotus root full of glutinous rice on the chopping board. First, he cut the lotus root vertically to split the lotus root in two.

Then cut the lotus root into semicircular thick slices with the knife.

Be careful when cutting, because the glutinous rice in the eyes of the lotus root is soft and easy to be taken out by the knife, so when cutting, the knife must be steady and fast, only in this way can the glutinous rice not stick to the kitchen knife.

After cutting, Xu Zhuo took a long plate and placed the sliced ​​glutinous rice evenly in it.

Then use a spoon to scoop up a spoonful of warm osmanthus honey juice and pour it evenly on the lotus root. A serving of osmanthus glutinous rice root is considered complete.

This sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice lotus has a rosy surface, and the color becomes lighter as it goes towards the middle, forming a beautiful gradient.

But in this gradient color lotus root, the glutinous rice in the eyes of the lotus root still maintains a white color, which is even more greedy in contrast.

As for the sweet-scented osmanthus juice poured on afterwards, it is more like a finishing touch. It not only improves the appearance of the glutinous rice lotus root on the plate, but also gives people a very high-end feeling.

Anyway, it looks delicious, so I want to pinch a piece and taste it.

Xu Zhuo placed it on the dining table beside him and asked the cameraman to take a close-up. Then he cut the remaining half of the lotus root into thick slices and placed it on the plate as well.

After he prepared plates of sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root, he put them on a tray and gave them to the company's employees under the filming of several photographers.

Xu Zhuo was a little uncomfortable facing several scenes that followed each other, because it always made him feel like he was acting.

Originally, it was just out of interest to make something for everyone to eat, and I didn't think too much about it. As a result, under the intervention of the company's leaders, this matter actually developed into a model where the boss went to the countryside to give condolences.

But everyone was doing it for the good of the company, so Xu Zhuo didn't want to say much. He brought this sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root to the office and gave it to everyone to try his handicraft.

Soon, various sounds of praise and surprise reached Xu Zhuo's ears.

Everyone knows that Xu Zhuo has high craftsmanship, but they didn't expect that the sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root he made would be so delicious, much better than those made in ordinary restaurants, and even make people feel reluctant to eat them.

Xu Zhuo went around and gave gifts to everyone before he had time to sit down and taste his craft.

He picked up a semicircular piece of glutinous rice lotus root with disposable chopsticks and put it into his mouth. The glutinous rice lotus root didn't burn his mouth, nor did he feel cold. It was very comfortable and warm in the mouth.

This kind of warmth can keep the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance of the honey juice, and at the same time prevent the honey juice from being too viscous and sticky.

In addition, this kind of warmth can also keep the glutinous rice lotus in the best taste, that is, it is slightly hard but soft. This kind of glutinous rice lotus is shaped and easy to eat with chopsticks.

But after entering the mouth, you can taste the soft and glutinous texture of lotus root with a light sip with your tongue.

This kind of taste is paired with the glutinous rice inside, which makes people feel like winning a big prize.

In addition, whether glutinous rice or lotus root tastes sweet, it is not so sweet that it is greasy, but slightly sweet, giving people a feeling of indistinctness.

This kind of feeling is really good, with the honey sauce poured out, it makes people want to eat more and more.

Soon, a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root was eaten by Xu Zhuo. After eating, he immediately made a decision: go new!Get new in store as soon as possible.

Such delicious dishes can't be hidden away, they have to be sold in the store quickly to earn money, even Xu Zhuo is considering whether to make them in a vacuum-packed style and sell them in Xu Xiaochu's official flagship store.
