Food starts with noodles

He is very clear that these current achievements are all the result of Xu Zhuo's decentralization of power.

And after returning, the elders in the family let alone delegate power, and even deliberately made things difficult for them to wear small shoes.

At this time, there is no good fruit to eat when going back, and it will give the family the impression that Xu Zhuo's support is the only way to achieve some success.

So, he won't go back.

At least not going back now.

He just won the goddess, he doesn't want to engage in any long-distance relationship.

Because according to Yuan Kang's observation, long-distance relationships can only have two outcomes, either yellow or green, which is not a good thing anyway.

Li Hao shook his head, picked up the bowl and drank a big mouthful of mutton soup, and said with a smile: "I don't understand the grievances of you rich families, it's good to stay, let's make a good career, so that we have the right to speak."

While the two were chatting shoulder to shoulder in the lobby, Xu Zhuo had already started to meet, and Zhao Guangming also took out the molds he prepared, which were several sets of crab models of different sizes.

This kind of mold is divided into several parts, and the crab legs and crab shells are separated, which is convenient for making.

After setting, put them together again, brush with egg yolk and malt sugar, and put them in the oven for baking.

After kneading the dough, Xu Zhuo put it aside to wake up. He walked over and took the mold and looked at it several times. He was also a little confused about how to fill it with crab fillings.

He mixed several kinds of molds together and inserted them with crab legs in a boring way.

Suddenly, I found that the small crab legs can be perfectly inserted into the large crab legs, and there will be a certain gap between the two crab legs.

Xu Zhuo suddenly had an inspiration...

Chapter 1304 True and False Crab

"Guangming, you said to stuff some dough inside the big crab legs, and then fill in the smaller crab legs, can this make hollow crab legs?"

Zhao Guangming tried it and said, "It is theoretically possible, but if you want to squeeze the dough into hollow crab legs, you have to knead the dough a bit softer, so that it won't necessarily be crispy when baked." .”

Xu Zhuo said with a smile, "It doesn't matter whether it's crispy or not, the main thing is to look good."

He was already thinking about how to stuff the fried Sai crabs into the crab legs.

Sai crabs are actually divided into two types, one is the crab leg meat fried with egg white, the color is white and tender, and the taste is smooth, which is very similar to crab legs.

In addition to crab meat, the rest is crab roe or crab paste.

These two are fried with salted egg yolk and egg yolk. The taste is relatively dense and the taste is very fragrant.

Both need to be fried to make it, which determines that the shell of the crab needs to be roasted first, and then the crab meat and crab roe are filled in, and finally combined into a complete crab, which is ready to eat on the table.

After figuring out the links inside, the rest of the production is simple, just experiment one by one.

Make the crab legs first.

Xu Zhuo kneaded the dough several times, then took a little bit and stuffed it into the crab legs, then stuffed the crab legs that were one size smaller, squeezed as much as possible, so that the dough inside could fill the space in the crab legs as much as possible. Full.

After it is done, take off the outer layer of crab legs and check the condition of the package.

If there is no problem, just smear the egg yolk liquid directly, put it in the oven and bake it for a while, so that the crab legs can be shaped.

Then take the crab legs out of the oven, remove the crab legs inside, check for any cracks, then apply a layer of maltose water, and continue to bake until the crab legs are baked until the color is slightly red. .

After all the crab legs were ready, Xu Zhuo made the crab shells in the same way.

There are many problems encountered in the whole production process, but they are all small problems, which are easy to deal with.

To be honest, this kind of crabs made by relying on molds is more tricky. You only need to have a certain amount of patience and then be careful when making them. There is no difficulty in other things.

After finishing the crab legs and crab shells, Xu Zhuo fried a portion of Sai crabs.

Then use a small spoon to fill the crab meat into the prepared crab legs and crab claws, and fill the fried crab roe into the crab shell.

Once everything is done, the rest is easy to handle.

Xu Zhuo adjusted the adhesive with starch and egg whites to stick the crab legs and crab shells together, and then put them in the oven for another 2 minutes.

In this way, a lifelike crab leg is ready.

Except that there is no hairy crab's characteristic fluff on the crab claws, the rest is basically the same.

After it was done, Xu Zhuo let out a long breath of relief.

This mission, which lasted for three years, finally saw the light of day.

Although I don't know what dishes will be rewarded, but I can complete the task.

Xu Zhuo has no interest in rewards or anything.

However, Zhao Guangming is a person who strives for perfection. He looked left and right around the crab, and always felt that something was missing.

While there was still time, he had nothing to do, made some meat floss out of beef, and then took tweezers, and carefully stuck it on the crab's claws.

A hairy crab that is enough to be faked is made out just like this.

After the hairy crabs were made, many people from the back kitchen came to watch, and then took pictures with their mobile phones. They were amazed at Xu Zhuo and Zhao Guangming's craftsmanship, and they all felt a little incredible.

Although this kind of hairy crab that can be eaten even in the shell does not know what it tastes like, its appearance alone is enough to become a famous dish.

For example, those who are allergic to crabs but like to eat crabs, the appearance of this delicacy can satisfy their cravings.

While everyone was watching, Feng Weiguo joined in.

When he saw the hairy crab on the plate, he thought it was real, but when he was about to say that everyone was making a fuss, he realized that there was nothing mysterious about the crab.

When he realized that the crab was a fake crab made of noodles, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

"Grandpa Feng, try it and help us check it out."

Xu Zhuo enthusiastically pushed the cold crab over to see if the task could be completed. If it was possible, it would be a relief. They've all come in handy.

Feng Weiguo was not polite either, he raised his hand and broke off a crab leg, put it into his mouth and bit it lightly, the crisp crackling sound of the crab leg could be heard from far away.

Xu Zhuo knew just from the sound that the crab shell was well done and perfect.

I just don't know how the crab meat tastes like, after all, it's cold, so it's definitely not as good as eating it while it's hot.

When he was thinking about it, he saw Feng Weiguo slapped his thigh excitedly: "It's so delicious, it's even more delicious than real crabs!"

This year, because of the busyness, Sifang Restaurant did not purchase crabs. Feng Weiguo hadn't eaten crabs for almost a year, so he was so excited that he didn't know what to say when he ate this fake crab with excellent taste and appearance.

As for Xu Zhuo, he also heard the notification that the task was completed.

"Ding! The host has completed the random task [Feng Weiguo's wish], and will be rewarded with C-level Shanxi dishes - stewed tofu with Yellow River carp, lotus leaf cake with sauced plum meat, and mutton in sour soup. Congratulations to the host."

at last……

This task is finally completed.

But this fake crab will naturally not stop doing it.

Because this dish is relatively easy to make and the cost is very low, he plans to make it a repertoire in the store.

In order to give everyone a surprise, and to let more people know about this dish, Xu Zhuo planned to make it for everyone to try it on Zhao Jinma's birthday, and at the same time, it could be regarded as an advertisement among the wealthy people in the provincial capital.

Zhao Jinma celebrated his [-]th birthday in advance, so it will definitely be very grand.

Xu Zhuo used the reason of celebrating his birthday to surprise Zhao Jinma and show his face, letting others know that Sifang Restaurant has such a dish, which is the best of both worlds.

Feng Weiguo happily ate a whole crab, with a satisfied smile on his face, and he kept praising Xu Zhuo for his good craftsmanship.

When he learned that most of the credit for this was Zhao Guangming, he praised Zhao Guangming for his talent.

He was originally the leader of the boasting group, but now because his wish was fulfilled, he threw out those nice words in piles.

When noon was approaching, Xu Zhuo and Zhao Guangming made some more crabs for Yu Keke and others to taste. Once this crab came out, everyone's understanding of pasta was refreshed.

Two days later, Xu Zhuo and Yuan Kang drove away from the urban area, and went to the high-speed railway station through the expressway in the urban area to meet Yuan Desheng, who had come all the way.

Chapter 1305 Yuan Desheng's Special Dishes

I haven't seen him for a few months, but Yuan Desheng is still in good spirits.

He came out of the station with a backpack, and the oncoming autumn wind made him shrink his neck unconsciously: "The temperature difference between the Central Plains and Changsha is huge, and they are still wearing short sleeves."

Yuan Kang took his bag and took Yuan Desheng to the parking lot, while Xu Zhuo told Yuan Desheng about Yuan Kang's situation here.

The elders all hope that their children and grandchildren will be successful. Yuan Desheng knew about Yuan Kang's actions in the provincial capital before on the Internet, but they were not very detailed. He came here this time to celebrate Zhao Jinma's birthday, but in fact he also wanted to see how his grandson was doing. .

He had considered countless times as a successor, but he never had Yuan Kang's role.

Because when he was in Changsha, Yuan Kang never had a chance to show his talents, and his family members always rejected him. Yuan Desheng really didn't expect that after coming to the provincial capital, Yuan Kang would make so many achievements.

It was born to do business.

However, thinking about how Yuan Kang's cousins ​​behaved, and thinking about the disgust of the elders in the family, Yuan Desheng suddenly felt that he didn't know much about his grandson.

After getting in the car, Xu Zhuo took the initiative to drive and asked Yuan Kang to accompany Yuan Desheng to sit in the back seat and chat.

When the car left the parking lot and drove to the expressway, Yuan Kang took out a teapot from the side of the car seat and poured Yuan Desheng a cup of hot tea.

Seeing this scene, Xu Zhuo was very emotional, a good car is a good car, even hot water is readily available.

Yuan Desheng drank a cup of hot water and felt relieved. He looked at Yuan Kang and asked, "Xiaokang, how about returning to Changsha after the next year? Your third uncle doesn't want to stay in the position of the front desk manager anymore. How about you come?" ?”

After Yuan Kang heard this, his expression was a bit complicated.

Because based on his understanding of third uncle, it is impossible to voluntarily give up the position of front desk manager. Grandpa must have arranged a better position for him, or agreed to certain conditions of third uncle, so he gave up the position of front desk manager. Let it out.

Although he was very touched in his heart, his grades were finally seen by his grandfather, but he did not agree, but said: "Grandpa, I signed a three-year employment contract with Xu Zhuo, and the Sifang Restaurant has also been established for a long time. It’s a little unreasonable to leave the plan like this.”

He is really talking nonsense.

The labor contract doesn't stipulate that he can't resign, and as far as Xu Zhuo is concerned, it's not a matter of saying when he wants to leave.

Xu Zhuo was driving the car wholeheartedly, and he didn't know what to say at the moment.

Because he knew very well that Yuan Kang didn't want to leave, and Xiangmanlou's front desk manager was not that easy to be, and anyone in charge could put on shoes for him.

If nothing else, just serve the dishes a little slower, or change the order of the dishes, and the customers will be furious.

And the customer's anger would not be directly directed at the chef, it would all have to be borne by Yuan Kang, the front desk manager, and then ridiculed by other management people.

This kind of non-cooperation, no matter how capable Yuan Kang is, he can't continue, so he can only resign in despair.

If so, why go back?

Isn't the position of the general manager of Sifang Restaurant not good?

So when Yuan Kang rejected Yuan Desheng, Xu Zhuo didn't say a word.

Yuan Desheng thought it was a sure thing, but he didn't expect his grandson to reject him so simply.

But he wasn't angry, because Yuan Kang was now the general manager of a big hotel, so he wouldn't open his mouth to reprimand him like he did in the past.

And he is also very aware of the bad things at home, Yuan Kang is doing well here, there is no need to go back and suffer that anger.

Yuan Desheng sighed softly, no matter in the books or on TV, there is that kind of family where everything is happy, you are good and I am good, but in reality, every family has its own hard-to-recite scriptures.

The car soon arrived at Sifang Restaurant.

As soon as he got off the car, the old man and Feng Weiguo greeted him.

After all, he is a master of Hunan cuisine, and he must be greeted when he comes to the Central Plains.

Originally, Zhao Jinma was also coming, but there were too many relatives at home, and they were all discussing birthday celebrations, so they couldn't make it at all.

On the other hand, Zhao Guangming, who is not used to being at home or what, has spent most of the day wandering around the Sifang Restaurant during the day, making Yu Keke inexplicably nervous and planning to call Guo Shanshan over.

Anyway, it was to celebrate the elders' birthday, so it was reasonable for Guo Shanshan to come here, and because of Guo Shanshan's aggressive personality, she would call Zhao Guangming's parents if she didn't see her parents-in-law.

The old man exchanged greetings with Yuan Desheng, and then welcomed him into the shop.

It was the peak time at noon, and there were many people queuing up in the store, which made Yuan Desheng feel very emotional: "It's really awesome for young people. It took many years for Xiangmanlou to use the current situation, and Xiaozhuo just opened. After more than a year, it has the current style, and it is true that a hero is born as a boy."

The old man laughed: "It's all thanks to Yuan Kang, this kid is born to be a businessman. Old Yuan, you came here this time, are you planning to let him go back?"

Yuan Desheng wanted to, but Yuan Kang didn't agree.

He smiled and chatted with the old man, then followed everyone to the small private room on the second floor.
