Food starts with noodles

After leaving the consulting company, Xu Zhuo immediately called Yu Keke: "Hand over the work you are doing, and then bring a few hard-working employees to the capital. We are going to start a company in the capital. In addition, Let sister Xiaoying come over too, there are some things here that need her participation."

Yu Keke was overjoyed, and agreed repeatedly, because when Xu Zhuo was not at home at night, she didn't have to eat anything she wanted. This time when she came to the capital, although she might not be able to eat Xu Zhuo's dishes at night, there are many delicious dishes in the capital ah.

You can buy food from all over the world in the capital, whether it’s Eastern Japanese, Korean, or Southeast Asian food, or Western French, Italian, or Spanish food, or even Arabic food in the Middle East. If you eat it, you can definitely eat it.

When Yu Keke excitedly started handing over work in the provincial capital, Xu Zhuo, led by Ji Mingyu, came to a stewed restaurant located deep in the alley.

Well, at noon today, I will eat marinated and boiled fire.

Chapter 1401 Just because I took one more look at you in the crowd...

Among the various snacks in the capital, stewed and boiled has been enduring for a long time. It is also known as the "old three" of Beijing's heavy-tasting snacks, together with fried liver and fried belly.

When he came to the capital last time, Ji Mingyu accompanied Xu Zhuo to eat fried liver and steamed stuffed buns.

But compared to fried liver, Xu Zhuo actually prefers stewed liver.

The reason, of course, is that braised stew is more normal, and the stewed fire inside is really good, chewy and tasty at the same time.

The restaurant I came to eat today is relatively small, because in stores like Xiaochangchen, the people who check in at this point have definitely lined up outside the gate, and most of them are tourists.

People from the capital like Ji Mingyu naturally wouldn't compete with tourists for food.

People in the capital have their own places to go. Although the reputation is not as good as those so-called century-old restaurants, the taste is not bad at all, and the portions are quite good.

Even though it was a small shop, Xu Zhuo and Ji Mingyu had to wait outside for 10 to [-] minutes because it was lunchtime.

The people who came to eat were basically natives of the capital like Ji Mingyu. Occasionally, one or two tourists with backpacks appeared, and they followed the addresses written by friends in the capital and found them according to the map.

While standing at the door waiting for a seat, the smell of marinated boiled fire mixed with the smell of sewage floated out from the door of the store one by one.

When finally there was an empty seat, Xu Zhuo followed Ji Mingyu in, and the fragrance became even stronger.

This small shop is not big, the money is collected on the left hand side of the door, and there is a large pot on the right hand side, in which there are large pieces of pig lungs and pig intestines, as well as dried tofu noodles, etc., boiling in the pot.

Standing behind the cauldron is a young man in a chef's uniform, holding a spoon in one hand and a large strainer in the other. He is responsible for scooping up ingredients for the pier-cutter next to him and adding soup to the bowl.

There are two chopping masters next to it. A lot of meat has been cut on the greasy vegetable pie. On the side of the vegetable pie, there are pork lungs, small intestines, pork belly, tofu, dry fire, etc. that have just been fished out.

It looks rich and has a strong aroma.

In front of Chef Chef, there are condiments such as garlic paste, vinegar water, chili oil, coriander powder, shallot powder, red fermented bean curd, etc. Diners are free to DIY the taste they want.

However, in Xu Zhuo's opinion, the flavor of stewing and burning is already strong enough. You only need to put some minced garlic, pepper, and coriander in it to suppress the taste. If you only have red fermented bean curd or something, forget it.

You can't let the taste of Luzhu go from one extreme to the other.

The two of them ordered the extra-boiled stew, and when it was done, it filled a large bowl, topped with garlic chili oil and coriander powder, Xu Zhuo took it to his seat and began to taste it.

In fact, when he was in high school, Xu Zhuo had eaten stewed food in Linping City.

At that time, I had a lot of food. After school, I ate a bowl of stewed noodles on the side of the road before going home. The reason why I chose stewed noodles at that time was not for the delicious taste, but because the fire used in the stewed noodles was very digestible. I didn't know I was hungry for a long time after eating it.

Of course, the stewed taste is really good, with a strong aroma, and it is especially appetizing when paired with garlic and chili.

But the food at that time was not authentic, because the few households there were all cheap pork lungs, and there were no large or small intestines, which was not as good as the bowl in front of me now.

The bowl in front of me has both large and small intestines, and because it is a larger version, the portion is very large, but the amount of pig lung is very average.

After all, the bowl is only so big, if the large intestine and small intestine are added, the pig lungs will appear much less.

In addition to the pork lungs and intestines, what was left was fried dried tofu, shoyu cut into diamond-shaped pieces, and several pieces of fat pork belly.

In fact, it stands to reason that pork head meat should be put in stewed pork.

Because in the past, pig heads belonged to pig offal like pig large intestines, no one would eat them, and the price was low, so they became the raw materials for stewing.

——Luzhu is originally a snack made from leftovers to fill the stomachs of the poor.

But now, pig heads are not considered leftovers. The price of pig head meat in stewed meat shops is a bit higher than that of pork, so at this time, no one uses pig heads for stewing.

However, if pork is not used in stewed pork, the flavor will not be sufficient, so many restaurants use fatter pork belly, which not only has a better flavor, but also is relatively cheap.

When it comes to fire, it is actually the sesame seed cakes with dead noodles. This kind of cakes can be boiled in the stewed soup for a long time without being mushy, and can fully absorb the stewed soup, giving it a first-class taste.

Xu Zhuo used chopsticks to stir the ingredients in the bowl, so that the garlic, chili oil and coriander powder were evenly mixed, and then he couldn't wait to pick up a piece of fat sausage and put it into his mouth.

As soon as you chew, the fat emerges, which is very fragrant.

The fat sausage is cooked thoroughly and tasty, but the taste is still chewy and chewy.

Just because of this, Xu Zhuo thinks the taste of this stew is very good, this is what authentic stewed fire should look like.

"Huh... this smells really good, very authentic."

After eating the fat sausage, Xu Zhuo praised sincerely, and Ji Mingyu said with a smile: "It's really good, and they all love it when I'm young. Is your portion enough? Do you want to add another portion later?" ?”

Xu Zhuo waved his hand: "Enough is enough, my appetite is actually very average, and I can barely eat this portion."

Because the meat is rich and flavorful, it is very enjoyable to eat. In this cold weather, eating a steaming bowl of stewed fire will not only keep you warm, but also make you feel hungry for a long time, which is very comfortable.

After eating and drinking, the two stood at the front desk, and one of them bought a bottle of mineral water to rinse his mouth.

When Ji Mingyu was scanning the QR code to pay with his mobile phone, Xu Zhuo accidentally glanced at the master who was busy cutting up fat sausages, and then the system's notification tone sounded abruptly.

"The host studies hard, triggers the [Concentrate on Learning] skill, and obtains a high-quality Beijing-style snack - stewed and roasted. Congratulations to the host."

Xu Zhuo: "..."

Just, pretty bald.

It never occurred to him that the skills he had devoted himself to learning would be cooled down now. If he had known about this, he would have to have a big meal today, so that the skills he learned would be considered valuable.

As a result, after waiting for half a month, I learned such a stewed stew.

It's not that Xu Zhuo looked down on this snack, the main reason is that learning it is completely useless, the family doesn't like it, and there is no way to introduce new ones in the store, wasting an opportunity in vain.

Hey, melancholy.

I don’t dare to read casually anymore, especially when other people cook, maybe I will learn some weird dishes.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Ji Mingyu who had just finished swiping his phone.

The last time I went to eat fried liver with him, and then I learned that snack when I saw people serve fried liver.

This time I came to eat stewed fire with him, and finally learned this snack again.

In the future, I might as well take the time to have a full meal with Ji Mingyu, so that I can get enough of the old three of Beijing's snacks, and I won't suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Chapter 1402 Make a dish to remove fire

At noon the next day, Xu Zhuo and Ji Mingyu drove to the high-speed railway station together, and came to pick up Yu Keke, Tang Xiaoying and others who came to start the company.

At the exit, Yu Keke rushed over as soon as she saw Xu Zhuo, with a very intimate look, which made Ji Mingyu speechless: "You and sister-in-law have a good relationship, I just want to see you so anxiously after we haven't seen each other for two days." .”

Xu Zhuo smiled, and while motioning for Yu Keke to let go, he said, "She misses my cooking, walk around, there are too many people here, let's leave here first."

In addition to Yu Keke and Tang Xiaoying, the people who came today were three young people from the company, one girl and two boys. They both joined the company last year, and they were regarded as the middle level of the company.

A group of people took their luggage and walked towards the parking lot in a mighty manner.

Today, because of the large number of people, Ji Mingyu didn't drive the Tesla he often drove, but chose a seven-seater Buick commercial vehicle.

After getting in the car, Ji Mingyu drove everyone to their place of residence.

Not many people come, but there are a lot of things to do, so we need to rent a suitable place to work quickly, and then start to complete the procedures required by the company.

Since last year, Jingcheng has put forward the requirement of "one application, one link, and one day completion" for starting a business.

Although it won't be so fast, it can be done in at most three days.

After the company's procedures are completed, the store will be purchased in the name of the company, and then step by step into the link of opening a new store.

There are a lot of things here, but because I have already asked the consulting company yesterday, Xu Zhuo is not in a hurry. He handed Tang Xiaoying a flow chart that the consulting company helped to make yesterday, and this matter is considered to be arranged. .

Tang Xiaoying will take a few people from the company to arrange the specific operation.

Xu Zhuo, on the other hand, planned to take a look at the selected shops.

Buying a store is something that cannot be rushed. The last time I bought a store in the provincial capital, it seemed relatively simple. In fact, Chen Guifang had already done a preliminary screening to exclude some unnecessary or badly located stores in advance.

But this time, there is no mother's affection to participate, so be cautious, and you can't pay the money just because your brain is hot.

After all, this involves hundreds of millions of funds, so it cannot be taken lightly.

The place to live was already arranged, and a few more rooms were opened in the hotel where Xu Zhuo lived. After packing up the luggage, Xu Zhuo took everyone to Ji's Roast Duck Restaurant for a meal of roast duck.

Although the matter is very urgent and there are many things to be busy, but there must be some kind of reception, so as to highlight the company's humanistic care.

And Yu Keke has been talking about Ji Wenxuan's roast duck for many days, especially after Xu Zhuo sent over the roast duck he ate the day before yesterday, this girl couldn't forget it even more, and almost bought a bus ticket to come here that night.

For Yu Keke's arrival, Ji Wenxuan seemed very happy, and he cooked the dishes himself, even the roast duck on the table was roasted by himself.

"Girl, is the roast duck made by Grandpa Ji delicious?"

Seeing Ji Wenxuan begging for compliments made Xu Zhuo happy.

While eating big mouthfuls, Yu Keke praised Ji Wenxuan's craftsmanship: "It's much more delicious than my grandpa's. Grandpa Ji, your craftsmanship is amazing."

This remark made Ji Wenxuan overjoyed immediately, and repeatedly expressed that he would cook two more dishes for Yu Keke, but Xu Zhuo stopped him in the end.

There are already enough dishes on the table, and there is no way to finish them. It would be a waste to cook any more.

And Yu Keke just said it so casually, in this girl's opinion, anyone can cook better than Yu Peiyong, everyone is already familiar with it, and only Ji Wenxuan, an honest person, takes her words seriously.

But there is one thing to say, Ji Wenxuan's craftsmanship is really good. After all, the chef who was able to work as a chef for the state banquet back then was absolutely top-notch in professional quality.

Because of the existence of cocoa, the meal was quite good, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

After dinner, everyone started to go about their business.

Tang Xiaoying took people to find a more suitable office location first, and then signed the lease contract of the house as soon as possible. Only with the lease contract can they apply for starting a company.

They had already inquired about these steps before they came, coupled with the procedures that Xu Zhuo consulted, almost all of what to do every day was arranged properly.

The office location is also easy to find. After all, there is Dou Yiqiong, a real estate agent with a net worth of hundreds of millions, so it is easy to rent a few offices in an office building near the subway entrance on the fifth ring road.

The rent here is much cheaper than that in the third ring road, and the house is well-decorated. After a little cleaning, and adding some desks, chairs, computers and other equipment, it can operate normally.

When they were renting a house, Xu Zhuo and Yu Keke also started looking at shops.

Today I just took a general look at the situation of the shops. Xu Zhuo has not yet made a decision on which one to buy, or whether to buy through the real estate company where Dou Yiqiong works.

The two looked at the house all afternoon, and when it was dark, they were completely dazzled, because the shops they saw were all mature shops, so the layout was quite reasonable, except for some differences in hardware and floors. Other than the shortcomings, everything else is pretty good.

In the evening, the young couple didn't eat at Ji's Roast Duck Restaurant, but came to Sanlitun, which Yu Keke loved so much, and began to taste the delicious food here.

For three days in a row, Yu Keke could not extricate himself from the sea of ​​delicacies, and did not go there with Xu Zhuo until the company needed a signature from a legal person.

In the past few days, Yu Keke got a little angry because of eating Hesai continuously. He had two pimples on the corners of his mouth. He wanted to pop them out but was afraid of leaving scars.

The company formalities were almost completed, Ji Wenxuan was very happy as an elder, and specially invited Xu Zhuo and Yu Keke to dinner.

Yu Keke thought about the pimples at the corner of her mouth, wanted to eat but was worried that it would get worse, so she was conflicted.

When she arrived at Ji's Roast Duck Restaurant, the girl saw that the table was full of prepared dishes, and the conflict in her heart became more intense, because almost all the dishes Ji Wenxuan cooked were hot dishes.

Don't eat it, this dish looks really delicious, and I am very greedy, but eat it, and I am worried that the acne on my face will grow or grow more.

While worrying, Ji Wenxuan with a kind face noticed the pimples on Yu Keke's face: "Hey, did you eat too many hot dishes these two days?"

Yu Keke nodded distressedly: "There are too many delicious foods that I have never seen before, and I accidentally ate them like this..."

Ji Wenxuan said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, Grandpa Ji will cook you a dish that will relieve your anger, so that you can continue to eat deliciously, and you can eat whatever you want."

"Well, what dish is so amazing?"

Ji Wenxuan smiled and said, "Hakka stuffed bitter gourd."
