Food starts with noodles

If it weren't for the constant rivalry and competition, he probably wouldn't have made Zhao Ji's private kitchen so big.

Because, Zhao Jinma's ideal has always been to open a small restaurant that can solve food and clothing, but he never thought of opening a private restaurant with the second best reputation in the provincial capital, with branches all over the city.

When people get older, they feel more.

Especially this year, Zhao Guangming came back to celebrate his birthday, and Guo Shanshan, an impostor granddaughter-in-law, made Zhao Jinma want to tell the younger generation about the difficulties of starting a business and Zhao Ji's private kitchen. several business crises.

However, after Zhao Jinma recalled the life journey he had gone through, he didn't say any more.

Instead, we chatted about culinary heritage.

As the president of the Culinary Industry Federation, he has the qualifications and reasons to work for the inheritance of culinary arts.

I don't know if it's because he's happy or because things have taken shape, but at today's private birthday party, Zhao Jinma actually announced that before the end of next year, he will start a culinary course with the provincial university.

This made all the chefs present happy.

Xu Zhuo touched the old man lightly, and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, is this really a joke?"

The old man nodded: "Don't worry, the higher-ups have approved it, just waiting for some more detailed planning. By the way, are you still preparing those cooking lesson plans? Prepare more, these will be teaching materials in the future, and your name will be on them." There are not many such opportunities that appear above, so we must seize them.”

Xu Zhuo didn't think there was anything at first, but Feng Weiguo next to him was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

If you think about it carefully, if your name appears in the textbook, no matter how long it takes in the future, it will be a good boost to your reputation.

And being able to participate in the compilation of textbooks at a young age is definitely another opportunity to be on the hot search.

While thinking about it, Zhao Jinma stood on the stage holding a microphone and said that he would invite his old friend to come on stage and say a few words.

Then the old man called out the old man's name.

"Old Xu, come here, we have been fighting for a lifetime, we should know each other very well, please evaluate me."

This request made the old man a little surprised: "This old man... Do you have to force me to send him to the hospital in front of all relatives?"

With the old man's mouth, Zhao Jinma's blood pressure could be soared with just a few words.

So not only the old man was a little puzzled, even Xu Zhuo, Yuan Desheng, Feng Weiguo and others were also a little surprised.

However, the old man also knows how to measure. He came to the stage slowly and said something to praise Zhao Jinma. Although there were some jokes in his words, they were basically jokes, which made Zhao Jinma very happy.

While he was talking, the old man changed the subject, and then said: "Old Zhao, I think you've been retiring for the past two years, and you're a bit restless. Do you think this is good? Let Xiaozhuo learn cooking with you, and you If there is nothing to do, I will give pointers to this child, we have struggled all our lives, and we cannot take away our skills, don’t you think so?”

The whole place was silent.

Because these words almost made Xu Zhuo worship Zhao Jinma as his teacher.

Of course, if you don't ask for a teacher directly, you will be the next generation.

It should be like the relationship between Guo Xing and Feng Weiguo, worship Zhao Jinma's apprentice or son as a teacher, and then let Zhao Jinma teach on his behalf.

The old man's proposal made Xu Zhuo a little surprised. He thought it was completely impossible, but he didn't expect the old man to release such a big bomb.

Are you really not afraid that Zhao Jinma's blood pressure will soar on the stage?

Zhao Jinma's lips trembled with excitement, and he couldn't believe his ears at all.

He coveted Xu Zhuo many times, and discussed it with the old man many times. He thought that teaching Xu Zhuo was hopeless, but he didn't expect the surprise to come so quickly.

"What's the matter, Old Zhao? Do you agree to say something heartily, isn't my grandson's qualifications not qualified for you to give advice?"

Seeing that Zhao Jinma was silent, the old man urged him with the microphone.

Zhao Jinma hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, you must agree. Say it first, you can't go back on your word, or let's make a written statement, I always feel that you old man is teasing me..."

As Zhao Jinma agreed, Xu Zhuo also heard the system's notification tone.

Then, the No. 1 dish in the Central Plains, carp baked noodles, was successfully obtained!

Chapter 1312 Carp Baked Noodles

"Ding! The host has completed the random task [Zhao Jinma's wish], and obtained the top ten signature dishes of the B-level Central Plains—carp baked noodles. Congratulations to the host."

This notification sound reduced Xu Zhuo's accumulated old tasks by one more.

Finally got this dish, Xu Zhuo was somewhat excited.

He is not excited about the fish in this dish, but the pasta used in this dish-longxu noodles.

The name of carp baked noodles is actually the abbreviation of this dish. The full name is sweet and sour soft simmered yellow river carp belt baked noodles, but in daily life, carp baked noodles are generally used instead.

To put it bluntly, this dish is to cover the top of the sweet and sour carp with a sheet of deep-fried dragon beard noodles, just like covering the carp with a quilt.

The so-called baked noodles were baked on special stoves when there was little oil in the past, so they were called baked noodles, but now they are all fried.

The effect of frying is better, it is easier to control the temperature, and it is also convenient to operate.

As for the method of longxu noodles, it is in the form of ramen, the dough is pulled into thin noodles like hair, and then cut into sections and deep-fried.

In other words, after acquiring this skill, Xu Zhuo will be able to make ramen.

And it can also pull out the kind of noodles that are as thin as hair.

When he really has nowhere to go in the future, Xu Zhuo can transform himself and join Lanzhou Ramen, one of the three major food chain brands in the country.

However, the way of making Longxu noodles in the Central Plains is somewhat different from that of Lanzhou beef noodles.

Xu Zhuo couldn't tell the specific difference, after all, he had never done it before, but after acquiring the skills, he felt that making dragon beard noodles was quite simple.

Just kneading the dough with water, salt and alkali can make the dough soft and tough.

Compared with those Lanzhou Beef Noodles, which are often claimed to be untold secrets and studied with great concentration, it is not a little bit simple.

As for the sweet and sour soft fried Yellow River carp in this dish, there are also obvious differences in cooking method compared with the sweet and sour Yellow River carp in Shandong cuisine.

The first is the color of the sweet and sour sauce.

In the dish of sweet and sour Yellow River carp, the color of sweet and sour sauce is required to be ruddy and shiny, while in the dish of soft fried Yellow River carp, the sweet and sour sauce is required to be golden.

In addition, the sweet and sour Yellow River carp is deep-fried and placed on a plate, and then the prepared sweet and sour sauce is poured on it.

As for the soft simmered Yellow River carp, after the sweet and sour sauce is boiled, put the fried carp into the pot and simmer for a few minutes until the carp's skin becomes soft before taking it out of the pot.

The third difference is that when making sweet and sour Yellow River carp, it needs to be marinated first and then fried.

The soft-fried Yellow River carp is fried directly, and then the taste of sweet and sour sauce penetrates into the fish when it is softened.

After getting this dish, Xu Zhuo really wanted to make it and compare the taste of the two dishes.

But right now he is still at the banquet, and everyone is paying attention to him, so he can't leave to cook.

"Xiaozhuo, your Grandpa Zhao is very capable, you should learn more from him, and try to bring out all the abilities in this old bastard's stomach."

Although Feng Weiguo had some taste, but at this moment, he was happy for Zhao Jinma.

Once upon a time, he also wanted to teach Xu Zhuo how to cook, but due to fierce competition, he was rejected.

Now that he has his own successor, when the old man promised Zhao Jinma to teach Xu Zhuo, he just felt a little emotional in his heart, and he was not jealous of old man Zhao.

After all, he is really not as good as others in terms of cooking skills, so he is convinced.

Zhao Jinma didn't make a written statement with the old man, but in order to prevent the old man from going back on his word, he immediately asked Zhao Guangming's father to stand up and accept Xu Zhuo as his apprentice on the spot.

Then, Xu Zhuo who had come to celebrate Zhao Jinma's birthday received a bunch of presents inexplicably.

All are gifts from Zhao Jinma and his sons and Zhao Jinma's apprentices.

Everyone knows Xu Zhuo's fame, and they all want to make a video with Xu Zhuo, so the gift of meeting is quite generous.

This scene made Xu Zhuo wonder whether Mr. Zhao had planned this matter for a long time.

Otherwise, how did those meeting gifts come about?

You can't bring two gifts when you celebrate your birthday, right?

After the apprenticeship was over, it was almost lunch time, and the waiter of Zhao Ji's private kitchen began to serve the dishes. Xu Zhuo also took the opportunity to sit at the young man's table, and got together with Li Hao, Lao Meng, Yuan Kang and others, and started Eat a few appetizers on the table.

After Zhao Guangming wandered around, he also came over.

Don't look at him talking with the students when he was in college, and he had nothing to say with Xu Zhuo, but in front of his family, he didn't know what to say.

Especially those relatives in the family, who always looked at him with strange eyes, made Zhao Guangming even more uncomfortable.

He sat at Xu Zhuo's table and started eating, while Guo Shanshan sat with Zhao Guangming's mother without shame, and looked like a daughter-in-law, which made Zhao Guangming's parents very happy.

From this point of view, it is not useless for Guo Shanshan to come to the provincial capital this time.

At least she made the elders of the Zhao family quite happy.

After the cold dishes were served, various hot dishes began to be served.

They are all hard dishes, such as crispy chicken, white grilled wide belly, pot stickers tofu, scallion grilled sea cucumber, scallion grilled mutton and other dishes, which made Lao Meng and Li Hao get through the addiction of Central Plains cuisine once.

At the climax of the banquet, the fish was served.

Serving fish means toasting, and every table will drink fish head wine, and Xu Zhuo's table is no exception. When serving the food, the waiter deliberately pointed the fish head at Xu Zhuo.

But Xu Zhuo turned the table lightly, and the fish head pointed at Yuan Kang who was eating the crispy chicken with his head down.

Then before Yuan Kang regretted it, Xu Zhuo coaxed Yuan Kang to drink fish head wine. Yuan Kang didn't refuse, and drank three small glasses of white wine, but when he wanted to eat the fish, he found that the fish was covered with a thin film layer of fried noodles.

"What kind of food is this?"

Yuan Kang didn't know much about Central Plains cuisine, and a dish like carp baked noodles that only appeared at high-end banquets made him a little confused.

People can eat fish after drinking fish head wine, but this fish is covered, only the head is exposed.

Is it possible that this fish can't be eaten now, only the head?

Xu Zhuo used chopsticks to tear off a piece of fried baked noodles, then dipped it in the golden sweet and sour sauce on the plate, and told Yuan Kang that he was right: "Eat this thing first, and then eat the fish after eating. It’s delicious with a dip.”

After finishing speaking, he put the baked noodles covered with sweet and sour sauce into his mouth. It tasted sweet and sour, with a hint of spicy ginger.

Paired with the crunchy texture of the noodles, this dish is truly addictive.

At least for those who like to eat sweet and sour, it is definitely a great treat.

Yuan Kang took a sip and found the taste to be very good. He looked at Xu Zhuo curiously and asked, "This fish tastes very good, do you know how to cook it? If you can do it, we can also serve it in our shop. When there are business banquets, we can’t do without authentic Central Plains dishes.”

Xu Zhuo waited for someone next to him to say no, and then he came out to slap him in the face.

In the end, no one said this after waiting for a long time. The reality is really not a novel, and there are not so many pretentious plots waiting for me.

He said to Yuan Kang: "I can do it, but I still need Grandpa Zhao's guidance. When I have learned a lot, we can start a new class."

Chapter 1313 Sour Soup Mutton

For today's banquet, Xu Zhuo originally wanted to make the fake crab, but because these links were not arranged today, and all the cooks were Zhao Jinma's apprentices, so it didn't work out.

After the meal, everyone drove their own cars and took the elders back.

Yuan Desheng drank too much, hugged Feng Weiguo, who was half a catty, and sat in the back seat of Yuan Kang's car, sleeping soundly.

Yuan Kang had never seen such a battle before, so he curiously asked Zhou Wen who was sitting in the passenger seat: "Didn't Grandpa Feng claim to be a good drinker? Why is he even more drunk than my grandpa?"

Zhou Wen curled her lips: "He always said that he didn't pour half a glass. Everyone thought he could hold a lot of alcohol, and he always boasted that he was very good. Who knew that the half glass he said was half a glass of beer. Anyway, drinking some wine will We're all used to it."

Yuan Kang pouted helplessly, took out his mobile phone and called Guo Xingwang, asking him and Shi Lei to take care of Feng Weiguo.

As for Yuan Desheng, Yuan Kang naturally took care of him.

He drove to Sifang Restaurant. Zhou Wen got off the car and prepared to go back to the company to start a live broadcast. This afternoon, there was a promotion of Meixiang brand pickled vegetables. As a spokesperson and a minority shareholder, she naturally had to do her best to help promote it.

After Zhou Wen got out of the car, Guo Xingwang got into the car, and together with Yuan Kang, they settled the two old people at home.

Xu Zhuo sent the old man and the old lady home, and came to the company with Yu Keke, asked the company staff about Xiong Zai's lunch, and showed his face in Zhou Wen's live broadcast room, and then drove back to the company. When we arrived at the restaurant, we were going to take a break after the afternoon rush hour.

When Xu Zhuo came to the store, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.

All departments were busy with their own affairs, he walked around the back kitchen and found that he didn't see Guo Xingwang.

After asking around, I realized that Feng Weiguo drank too much today, and Guo Xingwang went back to take care of him.

In Xu Zhuo's view, Feng Weiguo is simply a collection of contradictions.

I can't eat crabs, but I love crabs like my life;
