Food starts with noodles

There is only one explanation for their voracious eating behavior now, that is, the taste of this elbow is so good that the two people who have big restaurants at home will let go of their decency and reserve and enjoy it.

"I'm in Beijing, just got off the subway, and I'm looking for a place to eat. Since this elbow is so delicious, let's try it, and get the autograph and photo of Boss Xu and brother Ji."

"Take me one, I'm on Line [-], let's go together."

"How can I be missing out on things like dinner appointments in the capital? Wait, I'll be there soon."

Soon, when someone in the live broadcast room expressed that they came here to find Xu Zhuo and Ji Mingyu, the diving parties in the capital area frothed one after another, and also expressed their desire to come and have a try.

The capital is very large and has a large population, so although there are many delicious foods, many people have never heard of them.

There are a lot of UP owners here in the capital who do store visits every day. After several years of visits, they haven’t visited the restaurants in the capital. The reason is that the capital is too big, and many restaurants are closed every day, and many restaurants are open for business.

Therefore, some restaurants that are not particularly famous are basically not well-known.

The reason why these people come to eat is that they are curious about the taste of the elbow, and they also want to take a photo with their favorite celebrities and sign their names.

In fact, when Xu Zhuo came to the capital to open a store, it's not that these fans didn't want to join in the fun.

But the new store hasn't opened yet, so even if they want to cheer, they can only wait.

But today, because of the live broadcast of the two shop visits, fans saw the opportunity to sign autographs and take photos together, so they came to this Shandong flavor from all directions in the capital.

When they came to the store, Xu Zhuo and Ji Mingyu had already eaten all the elbows on the table.

Not only the elbows were finished, but also all the other dishes on the table. At the moment, the two of them were drinking crucian carp soup. The delicious crucian carp was boiled into a milky white soup in the pot. The pores are stretched out.

A group of fans came over, and the two naturally stood up to say hello.

By the way, Ji Mingyu went over with a selfie stick to let the people in the live broadcast room take a look at the scene below the line.

After exchanging lively greetings, Xu Zhuo invited everyone to sit down, and then began to order food without any explanation.

When fans came to the door, he naturally wanted to treat him.

When everyone was giving in to each other, a sweaty middle-aged man in a chef's uniform came over. He looked at the fans surrounding Xu Zhuo, and then at Xu Zhuo, with a surprised expression on his face:

"Before the waiter said that a celebrity came to the store, I still didn't believe it. Are you the famous Xu Zhuo on the Internet? Why did you come to my store today?"

It seems that this is the shop owner and chef.

He should also have a warm and hospitable character, so before Xu Zhuo could speak, he said to the fans: "Since you are all Xu Zhuo's fans, there is nothing to say, all the food and drink you eat today will be free in the store. Tell the waiter what you want to eat."

so enthusiastic?

Xu Zhuo was a little confused, so he thought it was his fan.

In the end, the chef said: "The Lu cuisine chefs here in the capital are too ununited. Xu Zhuo, you are considered a famous Lu cuisine family. Can you organize these Lu cuisine masters and let's form an association or something."

Xu Zhuo: "..."

Is this the legendary gift of a pillow when you doze off?

Chapter 1444 Reaching a Consensus

There are private rooms upstairs, and because the afternoon rush hour has passed, the private rooms have been vacated.

Xu Zhuo asked Ji Mingyu and those fans to go to a private room, while he chatted with the shop owner in a quiet corner.

The chef's complaint just now made Xu Zhuo see the hope of forming an alliance of Shandong cuisine chefs, and even form a Shandong cuisine restaurant alliance on this basis.

However, the hotel alliance is a big matter, and it cannot be established at this stage. After all, hotels are easy to overturn.

Among other things, there are many restaurants that can't meet the standards in terms of sanitation, let alone ingredients, which have always been the hardest hit areas for the catering industry to overturn.

So Xu Zhuo is more cautious about the cooperation between restaurants, after all, he doesn't know when he will be led into the ditch by some pig teammates.

So for the time being, let's work together with the chef first, and we'll talk about the restaurant later.

Xu Zhuo chatted with the chef for a while, and got to know him somewhat.

The chef's name is Tao Liang. He is 40 years old this year, but because he works in the kitchen all year round, he looks older.

Tao Liang is from Shandong, with a burly figure and hearty laughter unique to Shandong people. Although the two are of different ages, because they are both chefs, and they are both cooks of Shandong cuisine, they had a pleasant chat.

In the early 90s, Tao Liang’s father came to the capital to ask for a living and opened a small restaurant to make ends meet. A few years later, the business here in the capital improved and he took the whole family over.

The family guarded the restaurant for more than 20 years.

"For more than 20 years, our family's menu has basically not changed, especially the elbow. It has always followed the method my father taught me, and never opportunistic."

In fact, there is no good way to do catering. It is nothing more than using real materials in the selection of materials, and not opportunistic in the method, that's all.

However, in this society where people's hearts are becoming more and more impetuous, there are really not many people who can do catering so conscientiously.

Especially in a place like the capital, Tao Liang's quality is even more commendable.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Xu Zhuo explained the purpose of coming straight to the point: "Actually, I came to see you today because I want to invite you to join the Lu Cuisine Chef Alliance I want to establish, so that we can communicate from the technical level and the business aspect. .

Of course, we can discuss the specific form of communication or rights and obligations, what do you think? "

Tao Liang slapped his thigh, and immediately said: "Okay, no problem, I absolutely support it, and all the chefs in our shop and I will join in. You can do whatever you want."

Tao Liang's grandfather was a chef in a state-run guest house in Jinan in the early years, and he had a deep affection for Shandong cuisine.

This is also the reason why Tao Liang's father came to the capital to develop. He wanted to carry forward the family's craftsmanship. Of course, it would be better if he could further promote Shandong cuisine.

After all, as an old Shandong cuisine chef, the last thing I want to see is the decline of Shandong cuisine.

Tao Liang was only in his teens when he first came to the capital, and he was unwilling to be a chef at that time. He had opened a taxi, ran a company, and played a part in a film crew.

But in the end, he came back here and inherited his father's mantle.

"When I was young, I always wanted to compete with myself and didn't want to get into the kitchen to cook, but after tossing around outside, I realized that cooking with a wok is the most at ease.

The happiest thing for me is watching the customers in the store eat their dishes after work, which gives me a sense of accomplishment, because I cooked all the dishes. "

They are all chefs, so while chatting, the topic turned to cooking.

Xu Zhuo asked Tao Liang curiously: "Your family's elbow is so delicious, is it from your ancestors?"

Tao Liang smiled and said: "Well, my dad did it according to the way my grandfather taught me, and I did it according to the way my dad taught me. After so many years, the technique of making knuckles has become more and more skillful, and the taste is getting better and better. It's getting better and better."

Focusing on one thing for decades, no matter how poor the talent is, you can still achieve the ultimate.

What's more, Tao Liang's talent is not bad.

Xu Zhuo felt that Tao Liang's craftsmanship should be ranked first in the capital and even in the entire Shandong cuisine circle when it comes to making elbows.

This further strengthened Xu Zhuo's idea of ​​continuing to look for Lu cuisine masters, because only in this way can he see more dishes and know more chefs.

At the same time, it can also create conditions for future stealers.

When thinking of this, Xu Zhuo suddenly realized a problem.

The dog system arranged this task, wouldn't it really make me feel the profoundness of Lu cuisine?

After all, these restaurants can stand tall in the capital, and they definitely have their own unique skills.

If you learn all their specialties, that guy, wouldn't you be in heaven?

This is of course just an idea, and Xu Zhuo will definitely not put it into action, after all, each family's craftsmanship is a secret that is not passed down, and it is not appropriate to learn it by stealing a teacher.

If you really want to learn later, you should find a way to give the other party some benefits.

For example, at Tao Liang’s Shandong Flavor restaurant, Xu Zhuo deliberately posted a photo of the elbow on Weibo when he left, along with the name and address of Shandong Flavor.

Then there is a simple sentence: "The elbows of this restaurant are really delicious. Students who like meat should not miss it."

The advertisement is very simple, even a little perfunctory, but it is enough for Tao Liang's Shandong taste.

Because there are still people waiting for a seat after the meal, it can be seen that Shandong Taste has no shortage of customers, but only a little fame and heritage.

This point, Xu Zhuo can give.

In the future, I will take Tao Liang to live broadcast a few times and shoot a few videos, and I will become famous.

And the background is simpler, just ask Li Hao to write an article to praise it. Among other things, the persistence of the three generations of people is the best promotional material.

Xu Zhuo helped Tao Liang improve his reputation, and Tao Liang reciprocated, saying that he would bring over familiar restaurant owners and chefs. For this kind of association-like group, the more natural people the better, and the more people Tao Liang recruited at the moment. The more proactive you are, the higher your status in the association will be in the future.

There is no need to explain these clearly, everyone knows it well.

The two chatted for nearly an hour, and when Ji Mingyu came down from the upstairs with the group of well-fed fans, Xu Zhuo also got up to say goodbye and leave.

They all run restaurants, and they all know that this time period is a rare rest time, so Xu Zhuo doesn't bother him too much.

It's not too late to talk when I have time later.

What we have to do now is to pull people's heads, try to find Lu cuisine chefs as much as possible, and invite them to join the chef alliance. Only in this way can we get the skill of roast duck as soon as possible.

After leaving Shandong Taste, Xu Zhuo bid farewell to the group of fans.

Then it was time for the next stop. Ji Mingyu turned on his phone and looked at it and said, "The next stop is a Shandong restaurant in Fengtai called Huimin Restaurant. The main dish is Jinan Bazirou."

Handle meat

Stewed Meat?

Xu Zhuo still had the smell of rock sugar elbows in his mouth at the moment, if he went to eat the meat again, he might not be able to eat much.

However, that Bazirou shop is quite famous and has almost no rivals in Fengtai District. In addition, the owner of that shop does not deal with the Ge family, which can reduce a lot of difficulty.

In fact, the first stop of the two was this Huimin Restaurant, which specializes in meat, but because it was not going well, and Shandong Flavor was not far from Ji Mingyu's house, so the two went to Shandong Flavor first.

Judging from the results, the first stop to Shandong tasted right, because Tao Liang joined in without any hesitation, and even helped Xu Zhuoduo bring in some Lu cuisine chefs.

This made Xu Zhuo see the hope of winning the skill of roast duck.

The two continued to broadcast the live broadcast, preparing to go to the next destination, the Huimin Hotel in Fengtai.

Because there were still several hours before dinner, the two of them were not in a hurry, and planned to stroll to the subway station, and then take the subway there leisurely.

In this way, it can not only digest food, but also move around.

If there are any restaurants that you are more interested in, you can also take a closer look.

On the way there, Ji Mingyu turned off the live broadcast, but he had made a notice before the broadcast that he would visit another store for dinner, and I hope everyone will join in.

Since you plan to do a live broadcast, you should interact more with netizens, otherwise why would people watch you?

Ji Mingyu is very concerned about the live broadcast now, and after the broadcast, he replied to some questions from some netizens with a higher level in the comment area.

"Brother Xu Zhuo, the rock sugar elbow we ate just now is so delicious, did you ask how it was made?"

Ji Mingyu didn't like eating elbows at first, but after tasting Tao Liang's cooking today, he fell in love with this delicacy a little bit.

So I want to inquire, if the method is not difficult, I will go back and tell my chefs, and ask them to try some when they are hungry.

Xu Zhuo shook his head and said, "No, these are all business secrets of others. It's best not to mention it before the relationship reaches that level, so as not to make others unhappy."

As a chef, he knows what chefs care about best.

The recipe of the dishes, the combination of ingredients, and the recipe of spices, these are the livelihoods of every chef, and if the relationship is not in place, it is easy to ask.

When two chefs meet, they basically start with a business exchange.

For example, today, Tao Liang kept praising Xu Zhuo's fame, which made Lu Cai look good.

And Xu Zhuo also kept praising Tao Liang's good craftsmanship, and the elbows he made made people want to eat more and more.

Only in this way, the chat will not collapse, and the more you chat, the more you will hit it off.

If you come up and ask about how to do it, I probably won't be able to talk today.

Take Xu Zhuo as an example, if someone came up and asked him how to make sheep's feet and the secret, Xu Zhuo would not be happy.

The two walked and watched all the way, so they came to the subway station, took the subway to Fengtai District, and then continued to wander around until they arrived at the entrance of Huimin Hotel at 05:30 in the afternoon.

Huimin Restaurant, you can tell from the name that it is an unpretentious restaurant. After arriving, Xu Zhuo found that this restaurant is even more unpretentious than he imagined.

The wooden signboard at the entrance of the store has completely changed color, and it is estimated to be at least 20 years old. The gate of the restaurant is also the same design as 20 years ago.

Although I haven't seen the food in this store yet, just by looking at the face, I can tell that the taste should definitely not be bad.

Because only this kind of people who are extremely confident in their dishes will not care about the appearance.
