Food starts with noodles

After all, not every customer will stare at whether a restaurant is open or not.

Moreover, the store will definitely give some small benefits such as coupons to the customers who return the private room, so that the customers will not feel that they are not taken seriously.

This kind of trivial matter, the store will do it well, so Xu Zhuo doesn't need to bother.

What he cares about now is how many people Li Hao's family plans to entertain and what dishes they plan to eat, so that they can be arranged and prepared in advance, so that there will be no waste of ingredients.

After leaving these matters to Yuan Kang, Xu Zhuo boiled water and started cooking dumplings.

Because the fillings of the dumplings are different, Xu Zhuo didn't cook them all in one pot, but cooked them in the same way.

While boiling the water, he changed the stewed vegetables he brought to a plate, and put them on the table to eat with dumplings.

At the same time, he also prepared other dips, such as chili oil dips, such as all-purpose dips, and even a small dish of garlic paste and peeled garlic.

The preparations are very complete, for fear that the dumplings will not taste good.

After all the preparations are done, the table is full of lunch for two people, and there are more than ten kinds of sweet and salty dipping sauces.

"Let's have dinner!"

Yu Keke ran over with Xiongzi in her arms, picked up a fruit dumpling and stuffed it into her mouth without washing her hands.

"Hey, these dumplings are delicious!"

She didn't have any hope for this dumpling, but she didn't expect that it tasted sweet, and the cantaloupe inside was also crispy, with a sweet taste of banana and sour taste of strawberry, which was really amazing.

Ok?

Xu Zhuo looked at his daughter-in-law in surprise. She just packed them for errands. Could it be really delicious?

He took a fruit dumpling and tasted it, and it tasted really good.

It's not about how delicious it is, the main thing is that the strong fruity smell makes people feel very comfortable when the dumplings are first eaten.

The flavors of bananas and strawberries are already strong, but after heating, the unique sweetness of the fruit becomes more intense, so when you first taste it, you have a very amazing feeling.

But after being amazed, it was so-so, Xu Zhuo didn't think that the dumplings with other fillings were delicious.

He thinks the dumplings filled with cucumber and eggs are the most delicious. The unique fragrance of cucumber perfectly takes advantage of the deliciousness of eggs.

And the little soup in the cucumber will not make the dumplings too dry, so the more you eat the dumplings, the more satisfying you will be.

Relatively speaking, the fruit dumplings look a lot darker.

In addition to the surprise when I first ate it, the others are not even as good as eating fruit directly.

But Yu Keke liked it very much. Not only did he try all the sweet dipping sauces prepared by Xu Zhuo, he even ate up all the fruit dumplings.

After eating, she began to complain that Xu Zhuo made too little bread, which made her unsatisfactory.

Xu Zhuo looked at her and asked curiously, "It's delicious? Why do I feel like I don't feel like eating it?"

Yu Keke curled her lips: "That's because you don't know how to taste. These dumplings are super delicious. I think if they are new in the store, they will definitely become a hit."

Xu Zhuo pouted, in order to eat fruit dumplings often, Ning Ke really worked so hard.

Just as he was about to say who would eat this stuff, the system's notification sound came to mind.

"Ding, there is a new random mission, please click on the mission panel for details."

Xu Zhuo: "..."

Damn, why does the dog system come to the task every time Yu Keke wants to eat, but when he wants to eat, the dog system does not respond?

Is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality?

The dog system is attached to him, isn't it just to make delicious food for Yu Keke?

Isn't this just a tool man?

Xu Zhuo was thinking wildly, but he still entered the system and checked the task details.

Random task: serve new fruit dumplings.

Task details: Ask the host to serve five different fruit dumplings at Sifang Restaurant before the Spring Festival.

Rewards and punishments for the task: If the new update is successful, the host will get the C-level Cantonese cuisine refreshment skill——Crystal Shrimp Dumpling; if the task fails, there will be no penalty.

Task time limit: before the New Year's Eve.

Task reminder: Please host this task seriously, there will be unexpected gains after completion.

After reading it, Xu Zhuo smacked his lips, always feeling that this dog system is becoming more and more like a big bad wolf that lures ignorant lambs.

But fortunately, the object of service is my own daughter-in-law, which is not unacceptable.

After all, the series of operations of the dog system made me understand how to play tricks on girls...

Cough, how to get along with girls can be regarded as something to gain.

However, in the task details, what does the last prompt mean?

Is it possible...

After the task is completed, can there be other gains?

Chapter 1324 Colorful dumplings are not difficult... right?

There are still more than 20 days before the Chinese New Year, so Xu Zhuo has no sense of urgency to complete the task.

The task of selling 20 chickens a week is not daunting, let alone the task of serving five new types of fruit dumplings in more than [-] days.

Xu Zhuo thought it was easier than drinking cold water.

After eating the dumplings, Xu Zhuo cleaned up the kitchen, took a nice nap, and then went to the study, turned on the computer, and opened the newly installed game last night.

It's time for a good fight in the virtual world.

In the past few years, due to the possession of the system, Xu Zhuo has changed from a professional gamer to an amateur player who occasionally turns on the computer to enjoy himself.

But this year, because the business is good, and I am getting more and more busy, I have less and less time to play games. I can only play games for one or two days a week, and every time it is late at night, I have to sleep for about an hour after turning on the machine. , can't enjoy it at all.

Today is New Year's Day. During this festival, Xu Zhuo naturally wants to relax and comfort his nerdy heart that has been delayed by his career.

It wasn't until dark that Xu Zhuo returned to reality from the fighting in the virtual world.

Time to prepare dinner.

Xu Zhuo originally thought that frying the leftover dumplings at noon, and then pairing it with the leftover stewed pork and roasted chicken would make up for a meal.

But Yu Keke kept clamoring for fruit dumplings, so Xu Zhuo had no choice but to change clothes and go downstairs, and took Yu Keke to the supermarket to buy fruit together.

In the morning, I ate dumplings with the flavor of banana, strawberry and cantaloupe, so I will try another one in the afternoon.

Xu Zhuo chose a combination of mango and pear, the same as in the morning, one is pureed and the other is cut into pieces.

In addition, Xu Zhuo also bought two red-heart dragon fruits. When he was planning to make dumpling wrappers, he used dragon fruit juice to knead the noodles to make the dumplings a perfect purple-red color.

For food, you have to be imaginative.

Now that the filling has been subverted, it is best to change the shape of the dumpling skin.

Xu Zhuo even planned to use clear noodles and glutinous rice instead of flour when kneading the noodles to make them translucent.

But I won't experiment today, because Xu Zhuo is worried that the car will overturn.

It's better to do this kind of experiment in the back kitchen in two days, so that if the car overturns, it can be pushed on other people's heads.

After choosing the ingredients to use, the young couple bought some new flavors of jam, and then went home to continue making dumplings.

I won't prepare so many fillings tonight, Xu Zhuo plans to eat a few fruit dumplings to taste, and then clean up the leftover braised pork and chicken.

Although these are brought back from the store, they all have costs, so they cannot be wasted.

After all, the Xu family has a small family and cannot afford to waste it.

The mango is pureed, then put in the diced pears, and then the dough mixed with dragon juice is rolled into dumpling wrappers, and the appearance immediately improves.

Even Xu Zhuo found another way to wrap it into ingot-shaped, lantern-shaped and other shapes, which made Yu Keke's eyes shine.

"Wow! So there are so many shapes of dumplings, teach me, I'm going to make them for my mother during the Chinese New Year, so that she won't keep saying that I don't work hard and don't know the five grains..."

Xu Zhuo looked at the girl with some embarrassment.

If he did other things, he really agreed, but let's forget about teaching his wife to make dumplings.

Xu Zhuo was worried that the dumpling stuffing and dumpling wrappers that he had worked so hard to make would be ruined.

He thought for a while and asked: "My mother-in-law, it seems that she doesn't work hard, doesn't she?

Yu Keke was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Yes, she herself is also like this, and she has the nerve to talk about me!"

The girl stopped clamoring to learn how to make dumplings, and began to complain to Xu Zhuo about what Pang Lihua criticized her when she was at home.

This allowed Xu Zhuo not only to see the true state of the mother and daughter when they were at home, but also to save the dumpling stuffing and dumpling wrappers he made.

The dough made from dragon fruit juice is dark rose red. For some reason, the color becomes lighter after cooking.

Xu Zhuo didn't care, because it didn't affect the appearance of the dumplings.

The light rose red dumpling skin is paired with a sweet taste, and it always tastes better when you eat it.

This is actually a psychological effect, because in daily life, almost all the desserts we can come into contact with are made into various colorful colors.

When eating this kind of rose red dumplings, she would also subconsciously enter into this kind of mentality, so Yu Keke ate very happily, Xu Zhuo made two big bowls of dumplings, and she ate them all.

"I feel that the dumplings taste better than the dumplings in the morning. Can you make them for me tomorrow?"

Xu Zhuo felt that the taste should be about the same, how could it be better?

Wouldn't it be that the color of the dumpling wrapper changed to make the dumpling more delicious?

He decided to make some dumplings colored with dragon fruit tomorrow night, and then make some ordinary fruit dumplings, and let Yu Keke compare them to see what was going on.

If the psychological effect of better taste is produced because the dumpling wrapper is different, then this matter will be much easier to handle.

Go back and dye the dumpling wrappers with fruits. Anyway, there are many fruits that are easy to color. Today’s dragon fruit is one of them. There are also mangoes, papayas, pumpkins, kiwis, tomatoes, cucumbers, grapes, Blueberries and more.

In addition, some natural pigments can also be used, but you need to adjust the color in advance, try to make the color look pink and tender, so as to stimulate people's appetite more.

He did what he said, and in the evening of the next day, Xu Zhuo came home early from get off work and began to think about the color of the dumpling wrapper.

He took some food coloring from the dessert department today, and also prepared some fruits that are more common in coloring. He plans to see if it is better to use fruit or coloring.

Xu Zhuo actually prefers to use fruit, because if you use fruit and noodles, the dumpling skin will taste somewhat fruity.

But to use coloring, you have to add fruit flavoring agent, which is relatively troublesome, and it also deviates from Xu Zhuo's original intention of making catering and food.

What kind of food is it if all food is enhanced by coloring and flavoring agents?

Xu Zhuo is more motivated because he operates these with an experimental attitude.

Cough, after all, this is a new direction of exploring food, which is different from satisfying my daughter-in-law's appetite, so the motivation must be stronger.

It's not that he doesn't want to cook for his wife.

The system requires five new types of fruit dumplings, so Xu Zhuo decided to make five colors, exactly the same color and one color, and each color is matched with different fruit fillings, which can improve the recognition of the fruit dumplings and let customers see them Just by the color of the dumplings, you can tell what kind of dumplings they are.

Xu Zhuo first determined the color of the dumpling wrapper, firstly it was yellow.

There are many yellow fruits, but in terms of coloring effect, the yellow dough made from steamed and cooled pumpkins is pureed and noodles.

Although pumpkin is not in the category of fruit, it is still a kind of dessert, so Xu Zhuo chose yellow.

The color of several other fruits, such as mango, is okay after being made into dough, but after cooking, the color becomes a little lighter. If you don’t carefully identify it, you really can’t tell what color it is.

And yellow peach and papaya are not suitable either.

The color of yellow peach is too light, and if papaya is pureed and noodles, the color will turn orange again.

With this kind of puree and noodles, while considering the color of the fruit, the dilution effect of the flour cannot be ignored.

For example, dragon fruit was originally purple-red, but after being mixed into dough, it became rose-red, and the color was diluted a lot.

Other types of colors will also be diluted to some extent during the production process, so this must be considered when mixing dough.

After Xu Zhuo prepared the yellow, he began to mix the red.

This is actually a bit embarrassing, because the red dragon fruit and the dough that come out are rose red, not bright red, and the dough that comes out of other red fruits is not satisfactory.

The only good thing is the cherries, but the price is too high, if you really want to use it, it will affect the cost.
