Food starts with noodles

For example, the person who gave the most rewards can get a dining experience card for the new store in Beijing. With this card, you can bring up to ten people and have a free meal when the new store opens.

In addition, the top ten people with the highest comments and likes can get a dining recharge card worth 599 yuan from the new store in Beijing. share.

The trailer specifically talked about this big gift bag, which will contain some new snacks, at least they are not available in Xu Xiaochu's flagship store at this stage.

There are many similar activities, such as the one with the most likes, the one with the most barrage, and the one with the most comments. There are rewards for various interactive modes.

When the trailer was first broadcast online, some people with a keen sense of smell knew that Xu Zhuo was warming up the new store in Beijing.

No wonder it was rumored on the Internet that Xu Zhuo was going to open a new store in the capital around the time of Chinese New Year. At first I thought it was groundless, but now it seems that people have already started.

Otherwise, will it warm up now?

Everyone thought that Xu Zhuo's new store should be in the renovation stage at the moment, but in fact there is no sign of the new store yet.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the live broadcast officially began.

It’s actually a little late to do live broadcasting and food at this point, because everyone has just eaten, and they are somewhat uncomfortable with the food.

And at this point, those who originally wanted to study with the live broadcast, most likely didn't bother to do it. After all, they were tired after a busy day, and they really didn't have the energy to go to the kitchen to make food right now.

In fact, Xu Zhuo also wanted to live broadcast in advance, but Ji Mingyu, who planned to appear with Xu Zhuo today, had to postpone it because the plane was delayed.

Ji Mingyu is the special guest of this live broadcast, this is also what Ji Wenxuan meant, he wanted his grandson to learn a lot from Xu Zhuo so that he would not be idle all day long.

Xu Zhuo actually wanted Ji Mingyu to broadcast the live broadcast together, because he was born and raised in Beijing and had a special affection for the court drink of sour plum soup. It was much better for Ji Mingyu to introduce this drink than Xu Zhuo said dryly.

Moreover, Ji Mingyu's eloquence is good, and he is like a tuberculosis. Letting him participate in the live broadcast can make the live broadcast room not cold.

However, Ji Mingyu is a rambunctious person, and he thinks it's boring to take the high-speed rail, and it's the rush hour for the return journey, and the high-speed rail ticket is quite tight, so he got a brainstorm and chose to take the plane.

Originally, he could arrive in the afternoon, but due to the heavy fog at the capital airport in the morning, all the planes were delayed. The plane he could arrive at 06 o'clock in the afternoon did not land at the provincial capital airport until 30:[-].

When Guo Xingwang picked up Ji Mingyu from the airport in Yuan Kang's big G, it was already 07:30 in the evening. He changed his clothes, ate something casually, and hurried to Xu Zhuo's live broadcast room.

This live broadcast has officially started.

In fact, the live broadcast room had already opened, but instead of making sour plum soup, Xu Zhuo was chatting with Lao Meng.

When the live broadcast officially started, Xu Zhuo first introduced Ji Mingyu, but Ji Mingyu was just incidental, mainly because of the well-known Ji's Roast Duck Restaurant in Beijing and the relationship between Ji Wenxuan and the old man.

This is called family friendship.

After Xu Zhuo finished his introduction, it was Ji Mingyu's turn to perform stand-up comedy.

It's a bit of a loss that this guy didn't go to Deyun Club before, because he is very eloquent, talking vividly about the scenes of drinking sour plum soup when he was a child, and when he was happy, he also came to a hawker who sold sour plum soup back then, walking the streets in the capital Selling and shouting when passing through the alleys.

After the two chatted, Xu Zhuo started making sour plum soup.

Sour plum soup is a famous summer drink in the capital, and it's actually not difficult to make, at least in Xu Zhuo's view, it's really not that difficult.

Of course, this is also related to the continuous improvement. This drink was not available to ordinary people in the past. It was specially made by the imperial dining room in the palace. After it was spread to the people, the method was improved.

Some flashy ingredients have been changed, and the production cost has been greatly reduced.

However, although it has been improved, the taste has not decreased much, but has become more pure.

The skill that Xu Zhuo acquired is this relatively pure method.

There are not many ingredients used in this drink, and it is mainly made from ingredients such as black plum, dried hawthorn, licorice, tangerine peel, roselle, dried osmanthus, and rock sugar.

The so-called ebony refers to a spice that is dried by smoking plums, and it is also a traditional Chinese medicine.

Dark plums are the soul of sour plum soup, and they must be smoked. Smoked dark plums can make sour plum soup taste slightly smoky, which is easily reminiscent of the smoke in food.

As for hawthorn, dried licorice and tangerine peel, these are very common spices and traditional Chinese medicines, so Xu Zhuo didn't introduce them in particular, but when he was short-term roselle, there were countless barrages asking for introductions on the screen of the live broadcast room.

Obviously, everyone doesn't know much about this spice.

"Roselle, also called roselle, is a Chinese herbal medicine that grows in the south. Roselle has a sour taste and can be processed into fruit juice, jam, jelly, fruit wine, etc. It has a ruddy color and a very stable pigment, so it is often used in candies and drinks. middle."

Xu Zhuo gave a brief introduction to Luoshenhua, and then picked up the yellow rock candy he specially prepared.

The so-called yellow rock sugar, also known as old rock sugar or earth rock sugar, is the crystallization of sucrose syrup diluted and melted. Compared with traditional rock sugar, yellow rock sugar has a pure sweetness and a syrupy aroma, which is very suitable for cooking Sour plum soup.

The ingredients used to make sour plum soup are all traditional Chinese medicines. This is not only the embarrassment of the shortage of supplies in the capital, but also the embarrassment of using dry products, but also the concept of traditional Chinese medicine for health.

After Xu Zhuo gave a brief introduction, he began to prepare for the production.

The first step in making sour plum soup is to soak these raw materials. Only by soaking these raw materials thoroughly can you make a perfect sour plum soup.

Chapter 1410 Sour Plum Soup

Xu Zhuo brought a small pot, and put the dark plum, licorice, dried hawthorn, tangerine peel, and roselle that he had prepared before into it in proportion.

This ratio is actually not fixed, but there is one thing that needs to be remembered, that is, licorice and tangerine peel should follow the principle of preferring more than less.

Because if you put too much of these two, the sour plum soup will taste bitter.

After putting all the ingredients into the basin, Xu Zhuo poured clean water and washed them carefully twice.

When this kind of Chinese herbal medicine is made and dried, a lot of dust will contaminate the surface. If it is not cleaned, the sour plum soup made will taste a little bit greasy.

After washing it twice, Xu Zhuo put these herbs in the basin again, and poured half a basin of hot water into it.

Soaking in hot water can not only activate the taste and nutrients in the medicinal materials, but also wash away the traditional Chinese medicine smell in these medicinal materials, so that the taste will be better when making sour plum soup .

The quality of these kinds of medicinal materials is very good. As soon as the hot water was poured, Xu Zhuo smelled a faint sour smell. In addition, the color of the hot water began to gradually turn red, and the pigments of ebony and roselle were gradually soaked out. .

After 10 minutes, Xu Zhuo took out these herbs with a colander and put them aside to control the water.

The medicinal materials should not be soaked for too long, otherwise the taste and color of the sour plum soup will become light. Soaking in hot water for ten minutes is enough.

After soaking, the next step is to boil.

Xu Zhuo brought a medium-sized casserole and put it on the stove, ready to start cooking.

You can't use an iron pot or an aluminum pot to cook sour plum soup, because the sour substance in the sour plum soup can corrode these metals. If you use an iron pot, the sour plum soup will have an iron smell. There is aluminum element, eating it in the stomach is not good for the body.

After the casserole was placed on the stove, Xu Zhuo put the soaked herbs in it, then added half of the pot of water, and boiled it over high heat.

Soon, the water in the pot was boiled, and the medicinal materials were floating up and down in the water. At the same time, the water in the pot was gradually dyed light red.

"Don't cover the pot at this time, just keep the mouth open, and continue to boil over high heat, so that the impurities and peculiar smells in the medicinal materials will float out along the water vapor."

When many ingredients are boiled, water vapor is needed to remove odors and impurities.

However, this time does not need to be too long, about 5 minutes is enough, because the odor that can be cleaned up has basically drifted away with the water vapor within 5 minutes, and those that cannot be cleaned up, it is useless to continue cooking, it will only make the pot The water in it evaporates quickly, and there is no other meaning in it.

After cooking for 5 minutes, Xu Zhuo covered the lid of the casserole, then turned down the heat on the stove and continued to cook.

The cooking time is very long, at least one hour is enough. Only by cooking for a long time can the color and taste of the sour plum soup reach a good level.

If it is less than one hour, not only the color of the boiled plum soup will be light, but the taste will also be light.

More importantly, if the cooking time is too short, the several ingredients in the sour plum soup will not be able to blend at all, and it will not taste like the fusion of several flavors.

Sour plum soup was being boiled on the stove next to it, Xu Zhuo and Ji Mingyu sat aside, and began to eat the delicacies of Xu Xiaochu's brand in front of the live camera, while chatting about the interesting things in the past in the capital.

Ji Mingyu was a fan of Xu Xiaochu's brand a long time ago, especially those Beijing-style snacks made by Xu Zhuo, such as donkey rolling and pea yellow, which made this person who grew up in the capital suddenly feel like returning to his childhood.

Those snacks taste exactly the same as in memory, which is really surprising.

Of course, the main reason for this is that Xu Zhuo's skills are given by the system. There is no jerry-building or additives in the method, so the snacks are authentic.

So it tastes like a strong ancient flavor.

However, most of the snacks sold on the streets of Beijing are processed by machines, and a lot of flavors and pigments are used to fool them.

Even so, people don't worry about selling at all, especially those time-honored brands. Thanks to the huge number of tourists in the capital every year, these time-honored brands are filled with customers almost every day.

Moreover, customers are not too picky about the taste. Most of them have the idea of ​​tasting the taste since they come to the capital, just like tourists go to Quanjude to eat roast duck.

I knew I was going to be slaughtered, but I also wanted to taste it once.

"Brother Xu Zhuo, how do you make these snacks? It's exactly the same as what I ate when I was a child. It's much more authentic than those made by those snack bars in Beijing. I guess I gained two catties after doing this live broadcast. The taste is really good. "

While eating, Ji Mingyu praised Xu Zhuo's delicious snacks.

After eating sweet snacks for a while, he began to eat salted duck in sweet skin duck sauce and other lo mei.

Anyway, he didn't eat much at the airport today, and because he was nervous before the broadcast, he didn't eat much. After letting go now, he couldn't stop the car.

But this is exactly in line with Xu Zhuo's intentions. After all, the conversation between the two old men is really boring. If someone is eating next to them, the content of the live broadcast will suddenly become attractive.

And it also made everyone look forward to the sour plum soup in the casserole next to it.

Ji Mingyu ate sweet and salty ones, spicy ones after salty ones, sour ones after spicy ones, anyway, ever since Xu Zhuo put the lid on the pot and sat down, his mouth never stopped, either eating or talking .

Moreover, Ji Mingyu grew up in the capital city, and his fluent Beijing movies brought joy. Those who watched the live broadcast were originally aimed at Xu Zhuo, but now they were attracted by the eloquence given by this guy. About Ji Mingyu There are more and more bullet screens, and even female fans have begun to confess their love.

Of course, no one knows whether this is a female fan or a male fan, but Ji Mingyu is somewhat excited by the constant floating out.

After boiling the sour plum soup in the casserole for an hour, Xu Zhuo lifted the lid and stirred it with a spoon.

Although he knew that there was a high probability that he would not be confused, Xu Zhuo had to be careful not to be careless. If the car overturned at this time, it would be a lot of fun.

At this moment, the water in the pot has been reduced by about one-third, and the color has almost turned dark red, but it still needs to be boiled, because the medicinal materials have not yet reached the point where they are soft and rotten, which means that there is still more to boil Space.

When Xu Zhuo was stirring the pot, Ji Mingyu also came over.

He asked Xu Zhuo curiously: "Brother Xu Zhuo, the sour plum soup I drank when I was young was obviously not iced, and the vendor has been wandering around for a long time, why does it still taste cold?"

Xu Zhuo smiled and said, "First of all, the containers they used to hold the sour plum soup were relatively thick. At that time, they were usually foam boxes with good insulation performance, which could keep the sour plum soup at a low temperature for a long time. In addition..."

Xu Zhuo squeezed out a handful of dry leaves from a bag next to it, and continued, "The reason why your drink tastes so cold is because you put dried mint leaves when you boiled it."

Chapter 1411 Sour Plum Soup

"Mint leaf?"

Ji Mingyu stared blankly at the few withered leaves in Xu Zhuo's hands. He hadn't noticed them before and thought they were fragrant leaves. Who knew they were actually dried mint leaves.

But he recalled the sour plum soup he drank in the past, and it didn't seem to have a mint flavor.

Every summer in the past, Ji Mingyu almost drank sour plum soup as water, so he knew the taste of sour plum soup very well.

Xu Zhuo said with a smile: "You didn't drink it out because there were few mint leaves and the cooking time was not long, so it only tasted cold without the taste of mint.

This is also the reason why I didn’t put mint leaves when I boiled it just now. This needs to be put in together with dried osmanthus. If it is put in early, the mint flavor will be too strong, which will affect the taste of sour plum soup. "

Only then did Ji Mingyu say, "So that's what happened, I understand."

The two sat down to chat again, and after another 20 minutes, Xu Zhuo got up, washed the dried mint leaves and put them into the casserole, then poured the old rock sugar and dried osmanthus into the casserole.

Cover the pot and continue to cook.

After cooking for another 15 minutes, Xu Zhuo turned off the fire when the aroma of sweet-scented osmanthus came out of the pot.

After turning it off, he didn't lift the lid of the pot immediately, but continued to be stuffy.

"Don't pour out the boiled sour plum soup immediately. It must be stuffed for a while, so that the smell floating out of the pot will return to the pot with water vapor, and stuffing it will also make the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus more mellow. The flavors of the various ingredients are also more harmonious.”

Xu Zhuo explained to the camera, and while everyone was concentrating, he talked about some improvements to the sour plum soup.

For example, put some red dates or black dates into it when boiling, and the sour plum soup will have the effect of nourishing qi and blood, and the name will become red date and sour plum soup.

Other such ingredients, such as goji berries, lotus seeds, etc., which are suitable for desserts, can also be added in.

As long as you like it, you can freely DIY this drink as you like.

He chatted with Ji Mingyu for a while, and it was almost eleven o'clock, but the number of fans in the live broadcast room did not decrease, but there was a trend of increasing.

There is Xu Zhuo's appeal, and Ji Mingyu's performance in the live broadcast room.

His fluent Peking opera sounds so interesting that it makes people want to laugh.

In addition, Ji Mingyu has been eating from the start of the broadcast to the present. Although the eating speed is not fast, it is not like Lao Meng and Li Hao enjoying stuffing their stomachs, but he eats some of this and that, and he is stunned. Everyone was starving, and words like "I couldn't resist ordering a takeaway" floated across the bullet screen in the live broadcast room from time to time.

And the more Ji Mingyu ate, the more people watched, because everyone wanted to know how long he could eat, and at the same time, many people were counting how many kinds of snacks Ji Mingyu could eat tonight.

Soon, 15 minutes passed, and Xu Zhuo opened the lid of the casserole.

Because the fire has been turned off for a long time, when the pot was just opened, there was not a lot of water vapor coming out of the pot, but Ji Mingyu next to him couldn't help sniffling: "When I was young, I bought sour plum soup in those old shops. This is the smell, it smells faint, but it is very comfortable to drink."

The sour plum soup at this time, if you really want to drink it, the sour taste will be stronger, and at the same time it will be a little astringent, and the sweetness is very light, almost none.
