Food starts with noodles

These days, as long as you have money, you won't be hungry or cold, that's fine.

But Xu Zhuo's family came to Yangzhou to celebrate the New Year, which made Zheng Guangyao somewhat want to come and join in the fun. He and Xu's Yu family are too familiar, basically like a family.

But it was Chinese New Year after all, and the Yu family and the Xu family were also in-laws, so it would be inconvenient for him to come over as an outsider.

After thinking about it again and again, Zheng Guangyao felt that it would be good to come to have breakfast with the two families, and then prepare to fly to Hainan for the New Year, find a good hotel to live in, and enjoy the atmosphere of the tropical island.

After greeting Xu Zhuo last night, he contacted the old man and Yu Peiyong again, and the two old men strongly invited him to celebrate the New Year together.

Early this morning, before the old man woke up, he assigned Xu Wenhai to go to the Culinary Academy to "catch" Zheng Guangyao back, lest the old man pack his luggage and leave early.

After arriving at Yu's house, Zheng Guangyao witnessed Xu Zhuo's craftsmanship. Thinking about the recent rumors on the Internet, with Xu Zhuo's worth and reputation, if he stays in the provincial capital, he can make money while lying down, and he will open a few more in a few years. Branch shop, life is basically complete, as long as you don't die for the rest of the day, you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life.

But Xu Zhuo did not stop his struggle, but decided to open a shop in the capital.

Looking at the high-spirited and very polite Xu Zhuo, and thinking about his grandsons who can only play sports cars to hook up with starlets, Zheng Guangyao has mixed feelings in his heart.

So when Xu Zhuo said that the funds were not enough, Zheng Guangyao said without any hesitation that he would give him the cash he could mobilize.

It is not easy for young people to have fighting spirit, so we need to support them.

This sudden surprise made Xu Zhuo somewhat distracted.

1000 million in cash, not 1000 million Happy Beans, if you say give it away, you can give it away. Grandpa Zheng is really open-minded.

Just when Xu Zhuo didn't know how to express his gratitude, the old man's words rang out inappropriately: "Old Zheng, what are you doing? I asked you to come to celebrate the New Year, but I didn't ask you to buy my grandson. If you have more, you can donate it."

The old man's words made Zheng Guangyao a little unhappy immediately: "Jimin, what you said...Young people have fighting spirit, so why don't you support me? Why aren't you happy?"

The old man sneered: "If you have no descendants like Weiguo, the more money you give Xiao Zhuo, the happier I will be, but if those white-eyed wolves in your family know about it, they might make trouble on the Internet. This 1000 million, turn around You can buy shares, and we will give you a share subscription letter when the time comes, but if you give it away for nothing, we really don’t want it.”

When Xu Zhuo was very excited, the old man had already thought of the consequences of this matter.

Now Xu Zhuo's every move will be magnified on the Internet. If Zheng Guangyao gave Xu Zhuo 1000 million, would the people in Guangzhou agree?

Even if the Zheng family agrees, those black people on the Internet will take the opportunity to set the rhythm.

So when Xu Zhuo was obviously moved, the old man said these words, which not only made Zheng Guangyao put away his thoughts of giving large sums of cash, but also made Xu Zhuo calm down somewhat.

1000 million is so exciting. If someone buys you with more money later, it’s not a one-time purchase.

The old man's words really played a calming effect. Xu Zhuo shuddered when he thought of the scene when the Zheng family seized power.

Well, let's not get involved with those people. Although 1000 million is a lot, it's not too much.

After all, when Xu Zhuo was the craziest when he was playing Happy Beans, his net worth reached more than one billion yuan, a mere 1000 million yuan, counting...

Even so, it hurts.

But the old man is right. If Zheng Guangyao really wants to support himself, he can use the 1000 million to invest in shares later. At that time, he will have a share subscription letter and go to the notary office to have it notarized. .

You can't stop people from investing normally, can you?

We chatted a few more things about opening a store in the capital city, but Xu Zhuo hasn't chosen a store yet, so the old man and Yu Peiyong didn't say much, just let him go to the capital city to have a look after the next year, don't worry about it. Think about everything.

Soon, 6 minute passed.

Xu Zhuo turned off the steamer, opened the door, and started serving shrimp dumplings.

The freshly steamed shrimp dumplings look crystal clear, and the thin outer skin is very transparent. Not only can you see the big shrimp inside, but even the diced carrots can be distinguished.

After the shrimp dumplings are out of the pan, they still cannot be eaten directly, because there is still a final step to do.

That is the anointing.

The so-called oiling is to use a small brush to dip a little bit of olive oil and apply it evenly on the shrimp dumpling skin, which can make the shrimp dumpling look more crystal clear, and at the same time keep the dumpling skin moist and prevent the dumpling skin from drying out.

After being smeared with olive oil, the shrimp dumplings look even more beautiful, shiny, and look like they will glow.

According to the two-dimensional theorem, delicious food must shine, and this shrimp dumpling should be barely qualified.

After all the shrimp dumplings were smeared with olive oil, Xu Zhuo piled them up one by one, and then he and Yu Peiyong went to the dining room for breakfast, preparing for today's breakfast.

Perhaps because Zheng Guangyao was embarrassed to come to dinner suddenly, he insisted on making a small bowl of ginger milk for each of the women in the family.

After it was done, he followed the two families to the large dining room of Yu's family, which looked like a private room in a hotel, sat around the marble dining table that could seat more than a dozen people, and began to eat breakfast.

Chapter 1370 Shaking and cold, when can a man...

A good shrimp dumpling should have a crystal-clear appearance, white and red inside, thin and tough skin, crescent-shaped, with at least 10 pleats; the filling should have bamboo shoots, shrimp, and juice, and the shrimp should be smooth and springy. And there is real taste.

To use a poem to describe it is: fan the curtains and cicadas through the clothes, and the bright red smile is half infatuated.

The shrimp dumplings made by Xu Zhuo have almost reached this level, but because what they have obtained is not top-level skills, there is still room for improvement.

For example, the top shrimp dumplings are made of mandarin duck skin, which is half thin and half thick. Shrimp dumplings wrapped with this kind of dumpling skin will look more beautiful and taste better.

In comparison, Xu Zhuo's round dumpling skins can only be regarded as second-class.

But the taste is still unspeakably good, at least Yu Ke has completely lost in the deliciousness of the shrimp dumplings at the moment.

"It's so delicious, this is the first time I have eaten such delicious shrimp dumplings!"

Zheng Guangyao asked with a smile: "That is to say, the shrimp dumplings eaten in Zheng Yuelou in the past two years were not delicious?"

Yu Keke quickly waved his hand: "That one is also delicious, but this shrimp dumpling is different. This is the shrimp dumpling of love. With love in it, it tastes even more delicious."

Xu Zhuo felt very helpless for this open show of affection, but fortunately, everyone present was elders, so everyone laughed it off.

If Sun Panpan and Zhou Wen were here, they would immediately pretend to be unbearable and make a retching sound to fight against the sour smell of love.

After breakfast, several elderly people went for a walk in the Slender West Lake scenic area together. Xu Zhuo originally planned to go upstairs to sleep again, but Pang Lihua insisted that Xu Zhuo didn't bring enough clothes, and if there was no reason, he wanted to drag his son-in-law Go shopping for clothes.

Yu Keke and Chen Guifang had nothing to do, so they followed suit.

Women have never been resistant to spending money.

Xu Zhuo simply drove the car and set off with the three women.

Yu Changjiang was going to guard the first floor, so soon, Xu Wenhai was left alone at home.

He was a little bored staying in this empty big villa, so he simply followed Yu Changjiang away.

For Xu Wenhai, it is more comfortable to stay in the kitchen where there is so much oily smoke, and as a chef of Shandong cuisine, it is necessary to go to the back kitchen of Huaiyang cuisine to learn how to refine and refine the dishes .

Although the traditional Lu cuisine is exquisite in the eyes of those who are too familiar with it, it is really not enough in the face of Huaiyang cuisine, which is like a work of art.

Of course, the main reason is that there are relatively few high-end Shandong dishes, and sea cucumber and abalone are often eaten. It is very common for a dish to cost hundreds of thousands.

This kind of dishes naturally has a sense of distance from the common people.

But Huaiyang cuisine is different. Huaiyang cuisine uses simple materials, and all the dishes are made of knives. The price is quite affordable.

Especially compared with high-end Shandong cuisine, it is simply a street stall price.

While Xu Wenhai was observing and studying in the back kitchen on the first floor like a fish in water, Xu Zhuo followed the three women and frantically tried on a suit of clothes.

Yangzhou is not big, but it is considered to be in the Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone after all, so the clothing in the mall is still very high-end and keeps up with the trend.

Xu Zhuo tried on one set of clothes after another, and at noon, he couldn't take it anymore, and sat on the bench in the shopping mall and didn't want to move.

It feels more tiring than making a thousand roast chickens in a row.

A few women are still enjoying shopping, so naturally they won't just let it go.

The few of them pulled Xu Zhuo, ate something casually in the food area of ​​the shopping mall, rested for a while, and then continued shopping.

In fact, Xu Zhuo didn't really resist buying clothes.

But these women always let him try it out, and after the trial, they would say something about the clothes really not looking good, which made Xu Zhuo almost vomit blood several times.

If you don't think it looks good, why do you want me to try it? This is not pure tossing people.

But he can only say this in his heart, but he dare not express it. After all, one of the three is his mother, one is his mother-in-law, and the other is his own daughter-in-law, and none of them can afford to offend.

Especially Chen Guifang, when she bought a store in the capital, she was still waiting for her to pay for it, so Xu Zhuo didn't dare to make her unhappy at the moment.

If you turn around and shrink your funds a bit, wouldn't it be a big loss?

As for Pang Lihua, she couldn't offend her, she was the mother-in-law, although Xu Zhuo always felt like she was giving money to marry a daughter, but after all the wedding hadn't happened yet, so she couldn't be offended.

I've seen too many dowry gifts on the wedding day, so it's better to keep a low profile.

As for my own daughter-in-law, this is naturally something that cannot be offended, otherwise she will eat chili peppers at dinner, and she will be the one who suffers in the end.

The three of them couldn't afford to offend, so Xu Zhuo could only swallow his anger and continue trying on clothes.

Can this society get better? When will men stand up, trembling with cold air!

After four o'clock, Xu Zhuo and the three women in his family returned with a full load.

The clothes he bought today are enough for him to wear for two years. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't fit in the car, Pang Lihua would take Xu Zhuo to try on shoes.

After finally arriving home, Xu Zhuo hurriedly went to the kitchen after changing his clothes and slippers.

Because he was worried that when the three women were packing their clothes, they would have the idea of ​​asking him to try again.

When they came to the kitchen, the old man Zheng Guangyao and Yu Peiyong were cooking.

For Chinese New Year, although there is nothing missing at home now, we still need to make preparations.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so I have to start preparing today, because many dishes need to be prepared or sorted out in advance, and I can't wait until New Year's Eve to get busy.

Seeing Xu Zhuo approaching, Zheng Guangyao wiped his hands and said, "Xiao Zhuo, why don't we start making quicksand bags now? This is very simple, and you should be able to learn it after seeing it."

Yu Keke had a very happy breakfast today. The only regret was that there was no quicksand bag today, which made her feel a little regretful about the perfect breakfast.

People who are used to drinking morning tea are basically familiar with quicksand buns. It is normal for Yu Keke to talk about quicksand buns this morning. After all, quicksand buns rank very high among the must-order dim sum of Cantonese-style morning tea.

Since Yu Keke wanted to eat it, the elders would naturally have to prepare it.

Zheng Guangyao fully agreed, and by the way, he also said that he would teach Xu Zhuo how to make it. After Xu Zhuo learned it, Yu Keke could eat it whenever he wanted, which was very convenient.

Xu Zhuo had already forgotten about this. He came to the kitchen just to avoid those women, but he didn't expect to make quicksand bags right after he came in.

But just do it, quicksand buns are also Xu Zhuo's favorite snack.

He had already started talking about quicksand buns when he was learning char siew buns last time, and now he can finally see how to make this dim sum.

At this moment, the old man and Yu Peiyong are also there, so I have to bring the topic to the quicksand bag later.

In case of triggering the skill of bypassing the analogy, it is not appropriate to make money from the quicksand bag.

perfect!

Chapter 1371 Making Quicksand Stuffed Hearts

Liushabao is a delicious dim sum in Cantonese tea. It has a strong milk flavor and egg yolk flavor. It is a typical dim sum stuffed with milk yellow.

The recipe of this dim sum is just as Zheng Guangyao said, it is very simple, almost anyone with a little knowledge of pastry can make it.

However, the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, the requirements for raw materials are a bit high.

For example, butter is used in this dessert, and synthetic butter cannot be used for butter. In that case, the taste will not be good, and vegetable butter cannot be used. The fragrance of vegetable butter is not enough.

The best option is to use animal butter.

Moreover, unsalted animal butter must be used. Only in this way can the quicksand buns made are full of fragrance, moist in taste and more delicious to eat.

The key to making quicksand buns is the filling.

Whether the stuffing is good or not is directly related to the texture, taste and appearance of quicksand buns.

The filling should not be too thin, it will flow around after being torn apart, and it should not be too thick, as there will be no response when the filling is torn open. This kind of quicksand bag is undoubtedly a failure.

For a good quicksand bag, tear off the outer skin, and the filling will slowly flow out like magma. Such a quicksand bag is considered authentic.

The stuffing heart is much more difficult than the dough, and it needs to be refrigerated twice after it is done, so you have to start first.

Cooked salted duck egg yolk, grass egg yolk, milk powder, butter, white sugar and custard powder are used to make the filling of quick sand buns.

Among them, the salted duck egg yolk is the key to the quicksand, and the sandy filling is actually the function of the salted duck egg yolk.

In addition, the salted duck egg yolk is also the source of the salty flavor of the stuffing, so the amount of salted duck egg yolk should not be too small, otherwise the taste will not be able to overwhelm the white sugar, and the whole dim sum will feel greasy to eat.

Only sweet and salty, salty and fragrant, this kind of stuffing has endless aftertaste and makes people want to stop.
