Food starts with noodles

Now, the waiters at the front desk got together and began to assemble these souvenirs. These souvenirs are not only shared by today's guests, but also by them, so they work more vigorously.

After ten o'clock, Li Hao's family and Sun Panpan's family came one after another. In addition, some business partners and close friends of the two also came to join in the fun.

In addition to them, Xu Zhuo's family, the group of culinary masters who came to cook, medical students, some friends Li Hao met during the live broadcast, most of the members of the big stomach king group, and all the employees of the company, all coming.

Anyway, the tables are well prepared today, the more people come, the happier Li Hao's family will be.

The old Guanzhong people like to talk about ostentation so much.

At eleven o'clock, the engagement ceremony began.

Although it was an engagement, in terms of ostentation, it was no different from a wedding. Not only was the whole process videotaped, but there was also a host. The whole process was very ceremonial.

When playing the group photos and videos of the two in the past, Sun Panpan also consciously began to wipe tears.

Everything was as if it had been rehearsed, and Yu Keke was so envious: "When we get married, we have to make a big scene!"

Xu Zhuo nodded: "No problem, after all, you have to accept gifts. The scene is too small to justify."

After the ceremony, open the table.

The waiters and passers-by began to serve the dishes like butterflies, and the chefs in the back kitchen were also stepping up their preparations.

Everyone is full of energy, not only because it is easy to book the table today, but more importantly, before the banquet, one of Li Hao's uncles carried a bag of red envelopes and distributed them to the waiters in the store and the chefs in the back kitchen. A red envelope of 500 yuan was given.

There was a red envelope to open the way, and everyone's enthusiasm was immediately raised.

Although the employees in the store are usually very enthusiastic, but after all, this is a real money red envelope, which gives people a different feeling.

When eating, Xu Zhuo shared a table with Yuan Kang, Yu Keke, Zheng Jia, Tang Xiaoying, Guan Junjie and others.

This table is full of high-level executives from companies and restaurants. After all, there will be a toast later, so it's not good for everyone to sit too scattered.

In addition, this was also proposed by Yuan Kang, and he wanted to share with everyone during the meal.

When the cold dishes were served, Yuan Kang took a sip of boiled water and said, "After the Spring Festival, I plan to reform the back kitchen as well."

His words made everyone stunned.

The waiter at the front desk has just finished rectification, why is this guy looking at the back kitchen again?

Is there any room for improvement in the back kitchen?

Guan Junjie raised his eyebrows, feeling that this was Yuan Kang's dissatisfaction with his work.

But thinking about the obvious improvement in work enthusiasm since the waiter restructuring, he fell silent.

If there is a way to improve work efficiency, Guan Junjie naturally doesn't mind implementing it. Although he is the head of the restaurant's back kitchen, he is only a part-time worker after all. As long as Xu Zhuo has no objections, he will naturally not say anything more.

Xu Zhuo picked up a chopstick of sesame-soy beans and put them on the plate in front of him, and said to Yuan Kang, "You can discuss it with Senior Brother Guan first, and if you can make it clear to Senior Brother Guan, I will give you the green light."

The back kitchen is the most important thing in a restaurant, so although the rectification of the front desk is very effective, Xu Zhuo still takes a cautious attitude towards the rectification of the back kitchen.

So he asked Yuan Kang to explain Guan Junjie first.

As long as Guan Junjie nods in agreement, it means that the rectification will be really good, let alone whether it will improve efficiency, at least it can keep the back kitchen stable.

Guan Junjie didn't expect Xu Zhuo to trust him so much, he said to Yuan Kang with a smile, "Then I welcome Mr. Yuan to the back kitchen to guide him."

Yu Keke didn't pay much attention to this matter, she cared more about food.

She put a piece of sweet-skinned duck into her mouth, and asked Xu Zhuo while chewing, "Are you going to shoot a video this afternoon? What kind of food is it?"

Xu Zhuo said with a smile, "We still have to shoot in the afternoon. We've finished shooting the hot and cold dishes, and now it's time for the main course. In the afternoon, my grandfather will make Jiuzhuan Dachang. If you want to eat, you can wait at the company's side."

Nine turns of the large intestine?

As soon as the news came out, everyone's eyes widened.

No matter who it is, when they hear the name of this dish, they will have an inexplicable urge to eat it.

No way, the reputation of this dish is really...

Although the soft pocket long fish dish is famous, it is basically limited to the Huaiyang area and chef circles.

And this nine-turn large intestine is known to all the people.

It is so famous that even many people who have never eaten it before know this dish, and can even tell the allusion about this dish.

This is the charm of food.

Chapter 1351 Li Hao: I won't hold an engagement banquet if I kill you!

In the afternoon, the news that the old man was going to do nine turns of the large intestine quickly spread, and even Li Hao, the protagonist who was engaged today, heard about it.

When he came to Xu Zhuo to toast, he expressed his admiration for this dish: "Boss Xu, I haven't eaten this dish once since I was a child. I have been greedy for this name for so many years. In the afternoon Xu When grandpa makes it, can you ask him to make more? Let me also have a taste of what I want."

Xu Zhuo smiled helplessly: "I'll try my best, that dish is quite troublesome, so I can cook as much as I can in the afternoon."

Now the engagement banquet is the same as a wedding, with all the links of toasting and so on.

Holding the wine glass, Xu Zhuo represented that the toast would be over after they drank some white wine at the table.

When going to the next table, Li Hao raised his hand and squeezed two pieces of sauced beef from the table, stuffed them into his mouth and chewed them quickly.

Today's engagement banquet has tossed him so much that he hasn't eaten much yet. He is really hungry at the moment, but he still has to work hard to continue to toast.

I regretted it as I walked, I knew it would never be such a big deal.

The two families can sit together and have a meal, and now it's really troublesome.

After toasting, Li Hao sat on the chair and looked at the dishes on the table with bright eyes.

Well, I can finally feast and comfort my tormented stomach. Getting engaged is really not easy.

Thinking of getting married, which is even bigger and more complicated than this, Li Hao has a plan not to get married.

Or travel and get married, let everyone pool together the money, and he will take the money to travel with Sun Panpan, so that there will be no hassle, and everyone will not have to run away.

More importantly, no one will delay their meal anymore.

It's a pity that this idea should be easy to realize if it is someone else's.

But thinking of the face-saving character of his parents, Li Hao felt a headache.

Alas, I no longer have the carefree feeling of eating so fast when I was a child.

Picking up the chopsticks, when Li Hao was about to relieve all his worries, his father came over and patted him: "Why did you pick up the chopsticks? Hurry up, some of Panpan's relatives are going back, you hurry to see them off. "

Li Hao: "..."

If I had known that I would be starving for a long time to get engaged, I wouldn't have engaged if I killed him.

It's so annoying.

He put down his chopsticks and complained as he walked towards the door. He was full of resentment towards the relatives of Sun Panpan's family. At this moment, the hot dishes had just been served, and he left before the steamed meat dishes such as salty roast, sweet roasted white, etc. , Isn't this a waste of food.

I really don't understand what these people think.

When we came to the door, Sun Panpan's family was already here, and there were a bunch of souvenirs beside them, and Sun Panpan was giving them to everyone one by one.

After Li Hao came over, the job naturally fell on him.

Seeing everyone leaving with red faces after eating, and thinking about his already hungry stomach, Li Hao had no joy of engagement at all, only sadness in his heart.

Maybe this is life.

When eating banquets, there will always be people who leave before the dishes are finished. They may have something to do, they may be full, or they simply don't like the food and drinks at the banquet.

Anyway, when these people got up and left, Li Hao had to watch them off at the door.

Under the guidance of their parents, they called each other's address and said some insincere polite words, while holding a gift and stuffing it into each other's hands.

After finishing the work, it has to be delivered to the door, and some relatives or elders who are closer to each other even have to be delivered to the parking lot.

Old toss people.

No one left Xu Zhuo's table, everyone chatted while eating, and took this opportunity to test the food in the restaurant.

Chinese New Year is approaching, it's time to test the taste of the more mainstream dishes in the store.

Both Xu Zhuo and Guan Junjie are experts, and other people often eat the dishes in the restaurant, so whether the seasoning is accurate or the heat is not in place, everyone can eat it as soon as they eat it.

From the first dish, everyone chatted while eating, until the last dish was served. Except for three or four dishes with slight flaws, the other dishes were almost perfect.

According to the customs of the Central Plains, the last dish on the banquet is usually meatballs, which are jokingly called "rolling balls", which means that it is time to leave after eating the balls.

The meatballs in the store today are sesame balls made of glutinous rice, with bean paste filling inside.

Perhaps because it was freshly fried, this sesame ball is very enjoyable to eat.

The outer layer of sesame seeds is crispy, the glutinous rice inside is very sticky and soft, and the innermost bean paste filling is full of surprises.

While Xu Zhuo was eating, the old man and Yu Peiyong came over: "Xiaozhuo, are you ready? Let's go when we're done."

It was past one o'clock now, and the Jiuzhuan Dachang dish was a very tossing dish, so the old man couldn't help but came over to urge Xu Zhuo.

Xu Zhuo held the unfinished meatballs and walked out while eating.

The ingredients needed to make Jiuzhuan large intestine have been sent to the company in advance, and the production can start as soon as they arrive.

When he was walking towards the door, Yu Keke had already called the cameramen who were eating sesame balls at the moment, telling them to finish eating as soon as possible, and then return to the company to start working.

Now, the video business is already a revenue item that cannot be ignored in the store, and it cannot be taken lightly.

After all, the brand here has already started, and it is necessary to take advantage of the new year to explode and strive to increase the number of fans to a higher level. At the same time, it is also taking advantage of this opportunity to carry out a wave of promotional activities for new year products in Xu Xiaochu's flagship store. Make more money.

After all, after the new year, it is the off-season in the traditional sense.

At that time, it will be more than twice as difficult to increase sales.

Jiuzhuan Dachang is a dish created by Jiuhualou Hotel in Jinan in the early years of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty.It was originally named braised large intestine, and after many improvements, the taste of braised large intestine has been further improved. It has five flavors: sour, sweet, fragrant, spicy, and salty, with a ruddy color and a soft and tender texture.

After some literati tasted it, they felt that this dish was really different and had a special taste. In order to please the store's "nine" habit, and praised the chef for making this dish as meticulously as the Taoist "Nine Alchemy Pills", they renamed it "Nine Alchemy Pills". "Nine turns of the large intestine".

Yes, the so-called nine-turn large intestine does not mean that the large intestine should be turned nine times or processed through nine processes, but it is praised as being like a Taoist alchemy.

Xu Zhuo is no stranger to this dish, because since he was a child, Jiuzhuan Dachang would always be on the table at home during festivals.

The red pig intestines are layered together, evenly cut into small sections, and placed vertically on the plate one by one. The color is ruddy, which makes people very appetizing at first glance.

Xu Zhuo was thinking about these things, and came to the parking lot without knowing it.

He was just about to drive the two elderly people to the company when he happened to run into Li Hao who had just sent his relatives into the car.

Seeing Xu Zhuo, Li Hao became even hungrier: "Boss Xu, please save some of the nine-turn intestines for me later, I'm going to starve to death right now. If I had known that engagement is such a toss-up, I wouldn't mind if I was killed." No more engagement parties.

The big day almost made me faint from hunger, who can I ask for reason? "

Chapter 1352

Xu Zhuo laughed, expressing deep sympathy for Li Hao's experience.

At that time, Li Hao agreed to hold the engagement banquet, probably because he was rushing to have a big meal, but everyone had a big meal today, but he was hungry.

This also reminded Xu Zhuo that it will definitely be like this when the wedding is held, even more tossing than this, so he must prepare some food to prevent hunger.

When they came to the company, they were almost ready. Xu Zhuo and the old man changed their clothes and prepared to shoot.

And Yu Peiyong was sitting on the sofa not far away, watching the old man cook.

Well, he mainly came here to learn. Although he can also make Jiuzhuan large intestine, but in Peiyong's words, the Jiuzhuan large intestine he made, no matter the taste or texture, always feels that it is so different from the old man's. Silk.

So today he plans to observe and observe, and try to improve his skills.

Yu Peiyong is really a model of living and learning, Xu Zhuo thinks he is not as good as him.

If there is nothing to do in the afternoon, there is a high probability that he is planning to take a nap, or seriously play games in the study all afternoon, which is considered a rest.

And because of Yu Peiyong's temperament, Xu Zhuo felt that the reason why he was not as good as the old man in doing the nine-turn large intestine was most likely because he lacked that kind of aggressiveness.

Well, compared with the old man who likes to pretend everywhere, Yu Peiyong's bookish atmosphere is too strong. When he saw him for the first time, people didn't realize that he was a chef at all, but like a professor in a certain university. .

Of course, Yu Peiyong is indeed a professor now, but only a visiting professor at the Culinary Academy.

When the filming started, the old man briefly talked about the origin of the name Jiuzhuan Dachang, and then the production began.
