Food starts with noodles

Because the mutton scorpion made in the end has a spicy taste, and there is a little umami in the meat, which cannot be tasted at all.

Put the soaked sheep scorpions into the pot, add water, as much water as possible, so that the blanching will be more thorough.

After adding water, turn on the fire, and after the water in the pot is heated, add a tablespoon of cooking wine to it.

Cooking wine can quickly volatilize the peculiar smell, and at the same time, it can also make the impurities cooked in the meat form foam, which is easier to remove.

After the water in the pot boiled, Xu Zhuo used a spoon to skim off the foam in the pot, and then used a colander to fish out the sheep scorpions in the pot.

The steps of skimming off the froth are indispensable, and the froth must be skimmed off before taking it out of the pot. Only in this way, the impurities will be cleaned more thoroughly, and the sheep scorpion will taste more delicious.

After Xu Zhuo took the sheep scorpion out of the pot, he rinsed the sheep scorpion with hot water, then put it aside and began to control the water.

Next, he puts the frying pan on the stove, heats it up, puts in cold oil to slide the pan, then puts the sliced ​​green onion and ginger into the pan and stir-fries to release the aroma of the onion and ginger.

After the aroma comes out, pour in the prepared chili segments and continue to stir fry.

Stir-frying the dried chili not only tastes more fragrant, but also stir-fries the capsaicin in the chili through hot oil, making the fat in the pot turn into red oil.

After the aroma of chili came out, Xu Zhuo put the prepared pepper, star anise, cumin and other spices into the pot and continued to stir-fry.

These spices have been washed in hot water, so don't worry about frying, but don't stir fry for too long. When the spices are almost dry, you can put the cut hot pot bottom into it.

Continue to stir-fry, stir-fry the hot pot ingredients, stir-fry until fragrant, and then pour the dried sheep scorpions into the pot.

Then, along the side of the pot, pour half a spoonful of high-grade white wine into the pot.

When the wine is steaming, quickly flip the sheep scorpion in the pan, so that the sheep scorpion is completely wrapped in red oil.

When they stir-fried until there was no smell of alcohol, Xu Zhuo added half a spoonful of light soy sauce to the pot, then added a little dark soy sauce and a little bit of balsamic vinegar.

Add it and stir fry, then pour half a pot of hot water into the pot.

"Be sure to pour hot water, because the temperature in the pot is very high at this moment, and the lamb scorpions have already been blanched. If you pour cold water, the lamb will shrink and stick tightly to the lamb bones, and the taste will become very delicious." Difference.

In addition, when adding water, you must add enough water. It is better to add more water than too little. If you add water in the middle, the taste will not be perfect, so everyone must pay attention. "

After Xu Zhuo finished talking to the camera, he stirred the hot water in the pot with a spoon, and stood aside to wait for the water in the pot to boil.

After boiling, Xu Zhuo let the hot red oil soup in the pot boil for a while, then turned the heat to medium, covered the pot, and started to simmer.

The stewed lamb and scorpion should not be boiled on high heat all the time, it is easy to boil the meat, and the lamb will shrink due to the violent boiling of the soup in the pot.

Only after a long time of low heat and slow cooking, the mutton in the pot will become crispy and delicious.

And when cooking, you don’t have to worry about the aroma of the hot pot base material evaporating, as long as you use pure butter hot pot base material, the lamb scorpion in the pot will only become more fragrant as it cooks, and the aroma will never become weaker as it cooks .

An hour and a half later, Xu Zhuo lifted the lid of the pot and stirred the sheep scorpions in the pot with a spoon.

The mutton will shrink sharply after it is cooked, so the mutton bones are almost completely exposed at this moment, and the shrunk mutton is hanging on the mutton bones or clamped at the joints, trembling, and looks particularly delicious.

The mutton is almost done, let's season it!

Chapter 1495 About the task of the branch

The ingredients of mutton, in the north, are basically cooked before seasoning.

In this way, the mutton will taste more fresh and tender, and if it is seasoned in advance, the mutton will taste a little bit woody.

Of course, when I made it today, although I didn't add salt, the hot pot ingredients and light soy sauce contain salt, so it's not completely tasteless at the moment.

It's just that if you eat it directly at this moment, the taste is not very good, and you need to re-season it.

Xu Zhuo first put a teaspoon of sugar into the pot.

White sugar can neutralize the spicy taste in the soup, and it can also enhance the freshness and flavor, so that the lamb scorpion full of spicy taste has a sweet taste.

In addition to sugar, Xu Zhuo put two teaspoons of salt into the pot.

Salt can add saltiness and umami, making mutton more palatable.

In fact, the taste of the soup is almost the same now, but the mutton is not salty enough, so add more salt.

After the mutton is finished, soup will be added to the pot if you eat shabu-shabu, so don't worry that the mutton soup in the pot will be too salty.

After adding salt, you also need to put some white pepper powder, so that it tastes more spicy, and the pepper can also suppress the peculiar smell in the soup.

After putting all the seasonings in place, Xu Zhuo stirred the pot a few times with a spoon, then turned off the heat and was ready to serve.

There is not much soup in the pot now, there is a thick layer of red oil floating on it, coupled with the spicy and delicious taste in the pot, it makes people very greedy.

He used a spoon to put the sheep scorpions in the pot into a prepared hot pot pot, poured the soup in the pot, and put a little coriander on top.

A pot of spicy and refreshing sheep scorpion is officially ready.

After it was ready, Xu Zhuo asked Li Hao, who had been waiting for a while, to try it.

Xu Zhuo himself was sitting on the side, after wiping the sweat off his face, he looked at a plastic bag next to him.

Half an hour ago, when Xu Zhuo contacted Li Hao to come over to take pictures and try the food, Li Hao asked on the phone if he needed to bring something else, such as food, drinks and ingredients.

Xu Zhuo thought about it, and asked him to bring a sheep scorpion.

Now that the spicy sheep scorpion has been made, you might as well take a picture of the sauce-flavored sheep scorpion. Anyway, there is nothing to do recently, so try to shoot as many videos as possible.

In this way, after the opening is busy, there is no need to find reasons to delay the change.

Now Xu Zhuo's videos are all updated every week. He thinks that he can shoot the videos that will be used in the first half of the year while he has nothing to do.

As for the content of the second half of the year, we'll talk about it later, anyway, it's still early, so there's no rush.

The sauce-flavored mutton scorpion is very similar to the spicy mutton scorpion. The difference is that the hot pot ingredients used are replaced with soybean paste, and before the spices are fried, some sugar color is first fried.

Apart from these, the other methods are almost the same as the spicy sheep scorpion.

After Li Hao finished filming the food tasting, Xu Zhuo rested for a while, and ate the rest of the sheep scorpion together with the photographers, and then began to shoot the recipe of the sauce-flavored sheep scorpion.

After the filming of the sauce-flavored sheep scorpion is finished, today's work is almost over.

Xu Zhuo and Li Hao simply cleaned up and left here to meet old Meng Zhouwen and Yuan Kang who came to the capital in the afternoon, and have a meal by the way.

Lao Meng and the others came to the capital right now, so naturally they didn't come here for food.

They came here mainly for business. Zhou Wen and Lao Meng accepted a live broadcast of a new car product launch, while Yuan Kang came here as a flower protector.

Of course, he also wanted to see what the new store that was about to be renovated looked like.

The capital city is huge, and Lao Meng and Zhou Wen's itinerary was quite tight, so Xu Zhuo didn't let them run around, but took the subway with Li Hao, Ke Ke, Sun Panpan and others to find them.

It's the evening rush hour right now, so taxis don't work, and the fastest way is to squeeze the subway.

But the premise is that you have to be able to squeeze in.

Lao Meng and Zhou Wen lived in Wangfujing, and the new product launch was held nearby.

When Xu Zhuo and the others arrived, Lao Meng had already found a place to eat, and it was Donglaishun Restaurant on Wangfujing Street.

"Damn, is Lao Meng making a lot of money? If you choose this kind of place to eat, you can't afford it without 2000 yuan. It would be nice to have a buffet with this money." Li Hao walked into Donglaishun first, muttering.

He really didn't say anything big, and no one else said it, just him and Lao Meng, it's still very easy for two or thirty plates of mutton.

Adding in other people's food and dipping sauces, today's meal really started at two thousand.

Xu Zhuo was also a little surprised. If he wanted to eat boiled mutton, he told him in advance that he could cook it at home, so he didn't need to come to this kind of place to eat it.

But since Lao Meng chose this place, Xu Zhuo naturally wouldn't say much. When he entered the door, he pulled Yu Keke and told her to pay the bill when the meal was almost finished.

Lao Meng came all the way, so it was naturally impossible for him to pay.

After taking his seat, Ji Mingyu called, and he arrived shortly thereafter.

Today Ji Mingyu followed the old man to do a live broadcast at a Shandong restaurant in Changping. He just finished his work and was driving here.

The old man and Ji Wenxuan stayed there. Tomorrow, under the leadership of the owner of the Lu restaurant, we will meet the other owners of the Lu restaurant.

After everyone was seated, the waiters came over to order.

Xu Zhuo looked at it, said something casually, and handed the menu to Yu Keke.

As for Yu Keke, Sun Panpan and Zhou Wen ordered a few snacks, but did not continue.

Li Hao flipped through the menu and looked at it. He didn't understand the technical terms written on it, so he said helplessly: "Well, let's not talk about it one by one. The meat dishes on the menu here come with five servings, and the vegetarian dishes also come. One serving, let's eat first, and we will order whichever dish we think is delicious."

This made the waiter open his mouth wide, feeling a little unbelievable.

But there is a commission for this, so after the other party confirmed it, they hurriedly reported the food.

Soon, various dishes began to be delivered here in an endless stream.

Xu Zhuo skillfully put a plate of meat into the shabu-shabu, and chatted with Yuan Kang beside him while stirring.

Recently, Yuan Kang lived a fulfilling life in the provincial capital. After the turmoil of the Weijia restaurant when it first opened, the business is now almost at the same level as that of the Sifang restaurant in the past.

The reason why the word almost is used is not that the quality of the dishes has declined, but mainly because Xu Zhuo is gone, and his fans no longer check in.

Although the business is still as good as ever, without Xu Zhuo's appeal, there is still some gap in business.

"We plan to open branches next year. First, we will open two stores in the provincial capital. After we settle down, we will see the situation. If possible, we will expand overseas."

Yuan Kang took a chopstick of mutton from the pot, dipped it in a bowl of sesame sauce and put it in his mouth, while eating, he talked about his plan, "Your new store has opened in the capital, why don't you open a branch later? "

Just as Xu Zhuo was about to refuse, he suddenly heard a system prompt.

"Ding, there is a new main mission, please click on the mission panel for details."

Xu Zhuo was stunned for a moment...

Tsk, is it finally possible to open a branch?

Chapter 1496 Grandpa's youth is back

While everyone was bustling and chatting, Xu Zhuo clicked on the task panel and began to inquire about the main task that he had just obtained.

Because it was triggered when talking about the branch with Yuan Kang, so this main task can be guessed without looking at Xu Zhuo, it is definitely related to the branch of Sifang Restaurant.

However, after opening the mission details, Xu Zhuo discovered that it was not a common mission details, but a multiple-choice question.

Ask the host to make a choice within 1 minute whether to open a new store.

A: Open a branch.

B: No branch.

Ok?

what's the situation?

This is the main task, and it's too simple.

It takes one minute to make a choice, and there are no rewards or punishments. This should be the easiest mainline task I have encountered.

It's so simple that I can't even get used to it.

As a scumbag, Xu Zhuo hated answering questions the most in his life, but there was a kind of question that he didn't know, but he would happily answer it every time.

This is a multiple choice question.

In the student days of many people, the multiple choice questions during the exam are unforgettable.

This kind of question, even if it depends entirely on the scumbags of Mongolian students, there will be an inexplicable confidence of planning and calm when answering.

There's even a set of jingles for that.

For example, three shorts and one long are the longest, and three longs and one short are the shortest.

Seeing the multiple choice questions again now, Xu Zhuo was inexplicably excited.

If it weren't for the fact that he was still eating boiled mutton right now, he really wanted to shout:

"Grandpa's youth is back!"

After the excitement, he couldn't help but start complaining about the system.

It's just a question, but I gave myself 1 minute, who is this looking down on?

When I go to school, 1 minute is enough for me to write all the multiple choice questions and check them again.
