Food starts with noodles

Chestnut noodles are used in many snacks in Beijing for the purpose of increasing the aroma. It is quite normal to add chestnut noodles to noodle tea.

It feels really good to have a sip of the fragrant noodle tea and a crispy pork chop.

After eating noodle tea, the two returned to Ji Mingyu's house, and began to check the restaurants related to Shandong cuisine on the map, centering on the Forbidden City.

These restaurants are too big, too small, Beijing cuisine, or famous.

After excluding these, the two began to sort according to the ratings on Dianping.

The higher the score, the better the word-of-mouth, and this kind of storefront is the object to fight for.

If it is a famous shop with a bad reputation, I'm sorry, but you should continue to fool outsiders. Our temple is too small to accommodate a Buddha like you.

Based on this principle, the two selected dozens of restaurants.

After screening out, I am going to pick the one that is pleasing to the eye and go over to have a look. If it is okay, I will talk to their chef and find out first.

It just so happens that it is almost 01:30 in the afternoon, and the noodle tea I ate in the morning has been digested. It is time to replenish my energy. By the way, try the signature dishes of these restaurants to see if the name is not true.

After all, all scoring platforms can be used for scoring, so you have to taste it carefully, so as to distinguish the good from the bad.

And the way to eat is also very simple, that is, let Ji Mingyu visit the restaurant live.

Ji Mingyu's fame and Xu Zhuo's appeal on the Internet will definitely make the live broadcast room popular.

And once it becomes popular, not to mention the other party's chef, even the other party's boss has to come out to say hello, after all, who doesn't want the business to get better.

In this case, the opportunity to talk about the chef alliance and cooperation will naturally arise, and in the process of talking, one's own side can still take the initiative.

"Routines".

Chapter 1442 Rock Candy Elbow

Holding the selfie stick, Ji Mingyu walked and chatted with Xu Zhuo to a Shandong restaurant they had chosen.

This restaurant is called Shandong Taste, and just looking at the name of the store, you can feel the smell of Shandong cuisine.

Well, it is an authentic Shandong restaurant.

This restaurant is the one with the highest rating in the vicinity. It specializes in various Shandong-style dishes, and the best one is rock sugar elbow, which is called the best elbow by diners.

In a place like the capital city, it is really capable to make a dish a must in the hands of diners, so Xu Zhuo chose this restaurant to guide.

Even if the other party doesn't join the chef's alliance, try to improve the relationship as much as possible.

In this way, you can come here later to steal the teacher's Bingtang elbow. Today's trip here is not only a contact, but also Boss Xu's visit.

Although it's a bit dishonest to steal other people's cooking skills with hard-working and studious skills.

But the matter of the scholar...well, the matter of the cook, can it be called stealing?

The two came to the door of Shandong Taste's store. It was already a little past lunch time, and logically there should be no customers, but at the door of Shandong Taste, there were still people waiting for a seat.

From this, you can see how popular this store is.

In the capital city, there are a lot of restaurants waiting for seats when they are full during the peak period. This happens to almost all restaurants that can be named.

No way, there are too many people.

But after the peak period, there are still restaurants with people waiting for a table, which is really delicious.

Although this kind of place also fools foreign tourists, the probability is not high. Most restaurants can last until this point and there are still people waiting for a table, which is enough to show that the delicious food in the store is worth the long waiting time.

Otherwise, in this city where time is measured by money, no one wants to waste too much time on food.

After Xu Zhuo and Ji Mingyu got their numbers, they sat aside and waited in line.

There are some snacks such as fried soybean biscuits in the waiting place, which is to prevent customers from waiting impatiently and to temporarily fill their stomachs.

This is very common in restaurants in Beijing, and almost every restaurant has this arrangement.

There is also Ji's Roast Duck Restaurant, and Ji Mingyu also complained that there were customers who kept eating snacks while waiting in line, and when it was his turn, they had already eaten a round belly.

The other party had already eaten and drank enough, so naturally he would not enter the store to consume again. He directly sold the number in his hand to the person waiting behind, and then slapped his ass and left.

Tsk, I ate a lot without paying a penny, and then I made another 20 yuan by reselling the number plates in line.

Because the two had noodle tea in the morning, they were not very hungry at the moment, so they sat on the side and waited for a seat, and chatted with the netizens in the live broadcast room about the new store.

Xu Zhuo's first restaurant was called Sifangguan, and his second restaurant was called Sifang Restaurant.

Netizens are now very curious about the name of the new store in Beijing, and even a poll was launched online to help Xu Zhuo choose the name of the new store.

The name of the new store must have the word Sifang, but the suffix is ​​hard to say.

Everyone has Guess Restaurant, some Guess Restaurant, all kinds of names.

When they asked Xu Zhuo, Xu Zhuo just pretended to be mysterious and let everyone wait and see. It's not convenient to disclose the specific name now.

It's not that he's playing tricks, but that he really doesn't know.

Because until now, the dog system has not disclosed the name of the new store, Xu Zhuo didn't know if it would be changed, so he didn't dare to say it rashly at the moment, for fear of being slapped in the face by the system.

So we can only continue to maintain this sense of mystery.

After 10 minutes, it was finally the turn of the two.

Holding his mobile phone, Ji Mingyu walked into the store with Xu Zhuo, and sat down in front of an empty seat by the window.

The waiter probably saw a lot of live broadcasts, so he was familiar with these things, brought over a pot of jasmine tea, put down two menus for the two of them to watch, and then went to greet other tables.

Xu Zhuo flipped through the menu on the table, first of all, on the first page was printed a big elbow with a ruddy color that looked rather crunchy.

There are four big characters written in official script next to it: Bingtang Elbow.Next to these four words, there is a line of small words: our shop signboard, every table must order.

The price of Bingtang elbow is not expensive, more than [-] yuan, which is very cheap in Beijing, where a dish can easily cost four figures.

In addition to rock sugar elbow, there are some more classic stir-fries in the store, such as fried lamb with scallions, fried chicken with sauce, shredded pork with Beijing sauce and other common Shandong dishes.

After the two of them flipped through the menu, they began to order.

Bingtang elbows are indispensable, after all, Xu Zhuo came here for the elbows today.

In addition to the elbow, Xu Zhuo ordered several signature dishes according to the introduction on the menu.

But when it was about to be ordered, the waiter suddenly asked: "How many people are you eating? If there are two people, these dishes can't be finished. I suggest you remove two dishes."

Look, this is a responsible restaurant.

When you order, you will be reminded of the amount of food, unlike some restaurants, where you have already ordered a table of dishes, and the waiter keeps introducing the signature dishes in the store.

Xu Zhuo smiled and said, "It's okay, if we can't finish eating, we'll take it away. Today I just want to try your signature dish."

The waiter didn't persuade anymore, after writing down all the dishes, he went to declare the order.

Not long after, the dishes ordered came to the table one by one.

Among these dishes, the most attractive one is naturally the rock sugar elbow that has been stewed until soft, glutinous and crispy.

This elbow looks very similar to the stewed elbow that Xu Zhuo made before, but this one is more difficult, because this elbow has not been boned, and the big bone in the middle is still there.

Without bone removal, it is very difficult to make the elbow completely crispy and at the same time keep the whole elbow intact.

At least Xu Zhuo was a bit reluctant to do this.

There's something real about this store.

Ji Mingyu, a layman, naturally couldn't see this, he was just surprised at the speed of serving food in this restaurant: "Hey, it's so fast, is this prepared in advance in the back kitchen?"

Xu Zhuo nodded and said, "Basically, stewed meat and steamed meat dishes, as long as they take a long time to cook, are all prepared in advance. Otherwise, would you like to let you sit here and wait for two hours?"

Ji Mingyu opened his mouth, held his chopsticks and said, "Then shall we eat first, or let the waiter call the chef over for a chat?"

Xu Zhuo said with a smile, "Eat first, let's talk after eating."

At this moment, Xu Zhuo's thoughts were all on his elbows, and he completely forgot about the Chefs Alliance.

It's not that he doesn't know anything new about the Chefs Union, it's mainly because as a chef, he's really curious about how to make this dish.

Such a rotten elbow, it stands to reason that it will completely fall apart when it is not served on a plate, but how can this elbow remain intact?

And at first he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but when Xu Zhuo lightly swiped the whole elbow with his chopsticks and it turned into two halves, he was really surprised.

This method is really not simple.

Be sure to learn this dish!

1443 Dozed off and sent a pillow

Bingtang elbow is similar in color to stewed elbow, but the taste is a little different.

The biggest feature of this dish is that it uses a lot of rock sugar to make it. The rock sugar added during stewing and fried sugar color is almost equal to the weight of the elbow.

With so much rock sugar, according to the understanding of ordinary people, it tastes absolutely sweet and greasy, making it difficult to swallow.

But the reality is...

This dish does not feel greasy at all, and the fat part is so smooth that you don't need to chew it at all, and it will melt in your mouth with your tongue.

The skin part of the meat is also soft and glutinous, and it tastes very delicious.

As for the lean meat, it is not as dry as usual, but full of juice, soft and delicious when chewed, making people want to eat it more and more.

In addition to the perfect taste, the biggest feature of this dish is the sweet and salty taste.

The sweetness of the rock sugar makes the meat more delicious, while the salty taste mixed in it makes the meat less greasy.

In addition, the taste of various spices also makes the aroma of the meat more colorful and tastes more delicious.

In a word, it is delicious.

When the two of them first moved their chopsticks, Ji Mingyu was somewhat resistant to his elbows, because they looked too oily, even if they didn't taste greasy, he would instinctively resist.

There's no way, as an anchor, you have to pay attention to your external image.

Originally, he was only slightly inferior to Xu Zhuo in terms of appearance. If he got fat, wouldn't the gap be getting bigger and bigger.

When it comes to dishes like elbows, Ji Mingyu is completely indifferent.

After all, they own a restaurant at home, with all kinds of delicacies ranging from snacks to big meals, so they are really not interested in dishes like pork knuckles. Ji Mingyu's favorite food is the soy pork knuckles that are sliced ​​and rolled into spring pancakes. He is not interested in elbows at all.

But he didn't eat it, but Xu Zhuo ate it happily, and praised the chef's skill while eating.

This made Ji Mingyu a little curious, is it his acting skills or is it really delicious?

"Brother Xu Zhuo, is this elbow really delicious? You don't look like someone who likes to eat fat meat, why did you see this elbow look like this?"

Xu Zhuo said with a smile: "This elbow is really delicious, the taste is super good, try it, it will definitely surprise you."

The biggest feature of this dish of rock sugar elbow is that it has a relatively sweet taste. After all, a lot of rock sugar is put in when making it.

Rock sugar not only tastes sweet, but also enhances the freshness and makes the meat taste better. More importantly, rock sugar can also make the meat soft and tender, making it more delicious to eat.

Ji Mingyu dubiously tore off a small piece of meat skin with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, sucked it lightly, and then his expression changed immediately.

"Hey, this elbow... is different from the elbows you usually eat."

The rock sugar elbow is sweet when you eat it, but after careful tasting, you can taste the salty taste that has completely penetrated into the meat.

This sweet and salty taste, coupled with the texture of the elbow skin, made Ji Mingyu fall in love with it all at once.

Without saying a word, he picked up a piece of elbow meat with the skin on it, put it on his plate, and ate it with big mouthfuls.

The fans in the live broadcast room laughed together: "I just said that Boss Xu is acting, but now I have acted first, and the acting is even more exaggerated."

It was indeed an exaggeration, because he never expected that the Bingtang elbow could be so delicious.

This contrasting feeling highlights the deliciousness of the elbow.

And when Xu Zhuo saw the elbow, he knew it would be delicious, so relatively speaking, his eating was more refined, not as exaggerated as Ji Mingyu.

The scene of the two eating their elbows made the people in the live broadcast room feel a little greedy.

Although it has become common for anchors to fake food these days, the fans in the live broadcast room don't think that Xu Zhuo and Ji Mingyu are fake food.

The reason is very simple, both of them are masters who are not short of money, and they will not humiliate themselves because of a small amount of money.
