Food starts with noodles

But don't pour too much cold water, because the sauce will be made later, if the lettuce is completely cooled, the sauce will be lukewarm after pouring, and it will not taste good.

After pouring two spoonfuls of cold water, Xu Zhuo put the lettuce aside to control the water, and then he started to make the sauce.

Pour out the water in the pot, wash it and heat it on the stove, then add half a spoonful of peanut oil.

Heat the oil, then pour in the minced garlic, stir-fry for a few times, then add the peppercorns, then pour in the prepared sauce, and start to cook on low heat.

While it was cooking, Xu Zhuo used chopsticks to neatly arrange the water-holding vegetable leaves on the plate one by one.

When placing, the petiole should be placed at one end as much as possible, so that it looks more beautiful.

After setting it up, the sauce in the pot was almost ready. Xu Zhuo poured a little sesame oil into the pot, stirred it a little, then scooped it up with a spoon, and slowly poured it onto the lettuce leaves on the plate.

In this way, a dish of boiled lettuce, or lettuce with oyster sauce, is finished.

This dish is very popular in the Guangdong area. The salty and delicious sauce is paired with the lettuce leaves that are blanched just right. It tastes very delicious and goes well with rice.

After the dish was ready, Xu Zhuo wiped the sweat from his brow, and then started to make bitter chrysanthemum mixed with almonds.

Xu Zhuo is no stranger to the dish of bitter chrysanthemum, because it was one of the ingredients when steaming vegetables in Sifang restaurant a long time ago.

And because of its unique texture and taste, bitter chrysanthemum stands out among the ingredients. Many customers like the steamed bitter chrysanthemum made by Sifang Restaurant. The slightly bitter taste is paired with garlic juice, which tastes special.

However, the most classic way of making bitter chrysanthemum is cold salad.

Cold dressing can not only fully display the deliciousness of bitter chrysanthemum itself, but most importantly, the taste and texture of bitter chrysanthemum become very good.

And when mixing bitter chrysanthemum, it is best to put some ingredients that taste more fragrant, such as fried peanuts, crushed seeds, chopped fried dough sticks, and nuts such as almonds, walnuts, and cashews.

Bitter chrysanthemum tastes slightly bitter. Mixing it with more fragrant ingredients can neutralize the bitterness. Adding other ingredients at the same time can also enrich the taste of this dish.

In particular, ingredients with a relatively crispy taste, such as peanuts and sprinkles, will form a strong contrast with bitter chrysanthemum in taste, which will make it more delicious to eat.

Today's topic is dishes that reduce fire, so Xu Zhuo didn't use deep-fried peanut oil and deep-fried fried dough sticks. After all, such greasy ingredients will get a little angry after eating.

Almonds with a fresh taste are better.

This kind of fresh almonds are packed in bags, so you have to pour them out before using them, control the water inside, and then wash them with clean water, so that the almonds will taste better.

After the almonds were ready, Xu Zhuo removed the roots of the bitter chrysanthemum and washed it twice under the tap.

After cleaning, put the bitter chrysanthemum on the chopping board, and cut it into four to five centimeter long sections with a kitchen knife, which is more convenient to pick up with chopsticks.

The chopped bitter chrysanthemum was placed in a basket to control the water, and then Xu Zhuo began to make the sauce for cold bitter chrysanthemum.

The recipe of cold bitter chrysanthemum is very simple, because this dish is very fresh and tender. When making it, you only need to highlight this feature to be considered a success.

On this basis, almost all materials are used.

Of course, heavy ingredients can also be used, such as mixing with sesame paste, and the bitter chrysanthemum made is also very delicious.

But today, Xu Zhuo didn't choose to use sesame paste, which tends to look greasy, but chose to mix it with garlic.

Compared with sesame paste, mashed garlic is more appetizing, and the other dishes prepared today are not spicy, so this dish also has the effect of adding spicy dishes to make people more appetizing.

The mashed garlic is very easy to make. Xu Zhuo took a handful of peeled garlic, cleaned it, put it in a garlic mortar and mashed it, and then used the mashed garlic as the base to start seasoning.

Put a spoonful of salt, half a spoonful of sugar, and a small spoonful of thirteen incense into it.

Then pour in some light soy sauce and half a spoonful of balsamic vinegar, stir evenly with chopsticks, then add a little sesame oil and a little cooked scallion oil.

After the sauce was ready, Xu Zhuo put the bitter chrysanthemum with controlled water in the pot, then put the almonds that had been washed in water, and poured the prepared sauce on top.

Stir well with chopsticks and put it on a plate, the dish is ready.

From the beginning to the present, Xu Zhuo only took twelve minutes, three minutes earlier than Ji Wenxuan's 15 minutes.

Ji Wenxuan was very happy, not only because Xu Zhuo completed the homework he assigned, but mainly because Xu Zhuo was a descendant of a Lu cuisine chef, and he might develop Lu cuisine in the future.

Although Xu Zhuo is not his grandson, as a Lu cuisine master, Ji Wenxuan is somewhat honored.

Every time Xu Zhuo made a dish, Ji Wenxuan would taste it with chopsticks, and after tasting it, he would seriously comment on it. He was very sure of Xu Zhuo's craftsmanship.

Therefore, when Xu Zhuo finished the five dishes, he also naturally completed the random task he had received before.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the random task, and getting a C-level signature drink-sour plum soup, and a D-level dish for removing heat-Bingtang Sydney."

After the system's notification sounded, Xu Zhuo was completely relieved.

This drink and dessert should be prepared for the capital. After all, the most popular drink here is sour plum soup. In winter, when children get angry, they also like to stew pears with rock sugar for them to eat, which can reduce the temperature more quickly and steadily. fire.

Xu Zhuo and Ji Wenxuan returned to the private room, and Yu Keke was a little surprised when he saw the prepared dishes: "This... is so vegetarian?"

Ji Wenxuan said with a smile: "Although he is a vegetarian, he is very angry. If you eat more, you won't have to worry about getting angry tomorrow."

Because it was made by Xu Zhuo, Yu Keke was very happy to eat it, but Xu Zhuo could only reluctantly eat roast duck and other meat dishes.

But even though he was eating these, his mind was not on this aspect, but was thinking about the system improvement when the capital got the task of coming to the capital to open a shop.

It is said to open a store first, and then the difficulty of buying a courtyard house will be reduced by half.

What's the trick here?

Did the store attract the old man's former friends, and then the other party transferred the courtyard house at a low price, or did he imply that he would mortgage the new store for a loan and use the money from the loan to buy the courtyard house?

If the new store is completed, it is indeed easy to borrow money to buy a courtyard house with a mortgage.

But if this is the case, is it too cheating?

The dog system should not be so bottomless...

Well, I hope so.

Chapter 1408

After the company's license is obtained, the next step is to purchase a store.

Although the location of the shop has not been determined yet, Xu Zhuo even looks down on the shops he saw recently, but he still needs to prepare for the funds.

Xu Zhuo asked Tang Xiaoying to keep 30 yuan in Sifang restaurant's account as a daily reserve fund, and then transfer all the remaining money to the new company's account.

In addition, all the cash from the company was also transferred.

Now, the new company has 3000 to [-] million more cash in its account.

Although this amount of money is quite a lot, it is still not enough for the shops in the third ring road that cost hundreds of millions.

Moreover, the shops here need to purchase in full, and installments cannot be processed.

Although it is also possible to buy in installments through an agent, Xu Zhuo feels that it is better to go straight to the point, and there is no need for others to make another wave of money from the middle.

So he called the old lady with one call, and soon another 2000 million was added to the account.

More than 5000 million cash gave Xu Zhuo more or less the confidence to buy a store.

Although this money is not enough, it is absolutely no problem to pay a deposit or something. It is time to feel the thrill of spending a lot of money.

In fact, the funds are far from enough now, but when the store is not confirmed, there is no need to transfer all the funds from everyone. In case everyone has something to do, they have to go back and forth again, and the bank has to pay the handling fee.

The procedures are complete and the funds are in place. The next thing to do is to quickly choose a store, because the longer the time, the higher the price of the store.

In the capital, there is no such thing as depreciation of shops, so the sooner you start, the more cost-effective.

This time Xu Zhuo took a serious look at all the shops in the third ring road with an area of ​​more than [-] square meters owned by Dou Yiqiong's real estate company.

No store is as eye-catching as buying Sifang Restaurant.

Regardless of the price of all shops, there are always one or two things that people are not satisfied with, so Xu Zhuo plans to expand the search area.

He didn't believe that in such a large area and so many shops in the third ring road, only these few shops met the requirements.

For this kind of thing, it is natural to walk by yourself, so Xu Zhuo entrusted the real estate company where Dou Yiqiong works to help find it together.

Xu Zhuo can entrust others to do this kind of thing, but he can't come forward, let alone ask questions on social platforms.

Otherwise, just wait for those who have houses in their hands to increase the price. It is easy for this kind of storefront to go up to 2000 million, because there are only so many stores that meet Xu Zhuo's requirements, and even fewer are transferred.

In this case, scarce resources will naturally become more rare.

What's more, Xu Zhuo is more or less a celebrity on the Internet, and he is also a person who is not short of money. This kind of opportunity to slaughter a fat sheep must be seized.

So Xu Zhuo entrusted others to do it, and he started to build the framework of the new company.

The new store has not been seen yet. Yu Keke doesn't understand how to build the company at this moment. The wages here in the capital are much higher than those in the provincial capital. If the company starts to operate at this moment, wouldn't it cost a lot of money for nothing? .

Xu Zhuo smiled and said: "Although there is no sign of the new store yet, some necessary publicity work and training work can be carried out. After all, even if we move here as a whole, all the waiters and chefs will not come with us, so we must Train employees in advance."

He is not talking nonsense, if the Sifang restaurant is really moved to the capital as a whole, at most half of the chefs will follow, even if the salary is improved, they don't want to leave their hometown.

And the waiters are even more reluctant to work in such unfamiliar places, let alone them, even Zheng Jia probably won't come here.

It is hard to leave the homeland. When Xu Zhuo moved from Linping City to the provincial capital, it was only a hundred kilometers away, but still one-third of the waiters chose to find another job instead of following Xu Zhuo to the provincial capital. Xu Zhuo had already announced the amount of salary and they were not moved.

This time they moved from the provincial capital to the capital city more than 600 kilometers away, so they were naturally even more reluctant to follow.

Because it's not just a matter of distance, but for many people, the capital city is a very strange and distant place.

Working here will not only speed up the pace of life, but also increase the pressure of work. More importantly, after leaving a familiar place, people will have an inexplicable sense of tension. This feeling makes people feel very uncomfortable, so It will instinctively resist going to unfamiliar places.

Some people usually come to things in their hometown and can talk to everyone, but they panic when they go out to travel, and they completely lose the freedom and freehand brushwork they had when they were in their hometown. This is the reason.

Unfamiliar surroundings can make people nervous.

Of course, if it can be overcome, the whole person will naturally jump up a level.

But in most people's hearts, they are content with a little wealth, and they don't have so much thought to struggle.

Xu Zhuo is well aware of this, so he plans to train the staff right now, and strive to make the service of the new store a benchmark in the catering industry in Beijing.

After all, when I went to the provincial capital to open a store, I was poor and unrecognizable at that time. In addition, the old man, Zhao Jinma and others had been cultivating in the provincial capital for many years, and all kinds of relationship networks had been established, so no one asked for trouble.

But the capital is different. There are opponents like the Ge family in the capital, and hostile organizations like the Beijing Cuisine and Culinary Association. Moreover, Xu Zhuo is so famous that many people are staring at him, hoping that he will overturn his car. , There are even people who are ready to step on Xu Zhuo's car after he overturns.

Therefore, for a new store in Beijing, no matter whether it is hardware or software, there is no room for loss, and it must be perfect.

In Beijing, recruiting people is actually quite easy, because the pace of life here is high and the pressure is high. As long as the treatment in the new store is not too bad, there will definitely be a lot of people coming for interviews.

Because if those unemployed don't seize the time to find a job, they have to roll back to their hometown with their suitcases.

This is the advantage of economically developed areas. As long as there is money, there will never be a shortage of people who work.

The efficiency here is very high. After the company framework was set up, the company received several resumes as soon as the recruitment information was posted on the recruitment website.

Xu Zhuo didn't care about this matter, leaving everything to Yu Keke and Tang Xiaoying to handle.

This is both decentralization and an exercise for cocoa.

After arranging the affairs here, Xu Zhuo returned to the provincial capital.

Recently, there has been an upsurge of live cooking on the Internet. As a chef, Xu Zhuo also wants to maintain his own enthusiasm, so he also joined the army of live broadcasting.

This time when I returned to the provincial capital, I used the studio's professional equipment to do two or three live broadcasts in a row, to maintain the popularity, and to check the trending searches by the way.

Anyway, being idle is idle, why not take advantage of this moment to increase the number of your fans.

After all, the more fans, the more potential customers.

Tonight is Xu Zhuo's first live broadcast. Instead of cooking, he plans to start with simple drinks.

So tonight's live broadcast content is: making sour plum soup.

Chapter 1409 Sour Plum Soup

The sour plum soup was a reward from the random mission last time. Xu Zhuo originally planned to save it for the opening of the new store. However, just after Chinese New Year, many people complained online that they ate too much delicious food during the Chinese New Year, which made them a little angry. Appetite, feel greasy when you eat anything.

At this time, there was a sudden trend of live broadcast teaching everyone how to cook food on the Internet. In order to maintain his popularity, Xu Zhuo paid more attention to things that everyone got angry, so there was this live broadcast tonight.

In this live broadcast, Xu Zhuo not only taught everyone how to make sour plum soup, but also gave a small warm-up to the new store in Beijing.

Although the new store has not been seen yet, there is no shortage of pre-heating, just like when a certain star mentioned his 32 concerts everywhere, this is a publicity strategy.

In addition to the live broadcast, some necessary interactions will naturally not be missing.

After all, according to Xu Zhuo's size, he already belongs to the super-first-line level in the self-media ranks, and even some traffic niches who have just debuted are not as popular as Xu Zhuo on the Internet.

Therefore, in order to increase the popularity to a higher level, the rewards for this interaction are also very rich.
