Food starts with noodles

Yes, it's that fast.

Now faced with such a multiple-choice question, Xu Zhuo chose B without thinking about it.

It's not that he has plans to open a branch, it's mainly because during Xu Zhuo's long school career, among all the multiple-choice questions, A is the least correct answer.

So when faced with multiple-choice questions, he made his own choice without hesitation.

Well, answering questions based on experience is also a characteristic of scumbags.

After selecting B, the task panel jumps, and the task details appear.

Task name: open a branch.

Task details: The host is asked to open a branch in a first-tier city within five years with a scale no lower than that of Sifang Restaurant's main store.

Task rewards and punishments: successfully opening a branch, the host will get a reward for being proficient in any one of the eight major cuisines, and at the same time randomly get a reward for being proficient in one of the western cuisines; if the task fails, the main store will be closed for more than half a year.

Task time limit: within five years.

Task promotion: This is your own choice, please find a way to complete it.

After reading it, Xu Zhuo's only thought was:

Empiricism kills people!

When I saw the multiple-choice questions, I chose B based on my experience in doing the questions that year, and as a result, I triggered such a task of opening a branch.

If I knew this was the case, I should have chosen A just now and not open a branch.

This can not only comply with the old man's request for Xu's restaurant, but also avoid the trouble of opening a branch.

In first-tier cities, the scale and grade are not lower than the main store.

This request is really...

Xu Zhuo didn't know how to complain anymore, because he opened this head office, and he spent more than [-] million yuan.

Spend more than [-] million yuan to open a branch in five years. Is there any business like this?

If the main store can make so much money, why open a branch store?

Wouldn't it be nice to buy a yacht and have fun in the sea?

Sure enough, the simpler the multiple-choice questions, the more troublesome things are. I was too sloppy before.

He patted his head and began to think about opening a branch.

This is actually a bit ridiculous, because the main store of Sifang Restaurant has not yet opened, and even the decoration has not been completed, but the boss is thinking about opening a branch.

Those who didn't know thought he was a very enterprising person.

Only Xu Zhuo himself knows that he just wants to be a dead fat house fighting in the virtual world, but after getting the system in a daze, his life has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Earn more money and more fame.

But he is getting farther and farther away from the fat house life of playing games all day.

Perhaps this is the price of growth.

He didn't say anything about opening a branch, because it's still a long way off, and he doesn't have any clue. What he said would make people think it was bragging.

Either it will cause unnecessary worries to the family, so Xu Zhuo didn't reveal it at the moment, but started thinking on his own.

To open a branch of Sifang Restaurant with specifications no lower than that of Sifang Restaurant in a first-tier city within five years is not an easy task, but it is not impossible to solve it.

The first is the issue of funding.

When opening Sifang Restaurant this time, Xu Zhuo beneficially accepted funds from outsiders, and the system never stopped him.

It seems that this method of attracting others to join can also be used to open a branch store. After all, no matter how good the business of the new store is, it is impossible to earn [-] million within five years.

After all, this is not a management game, but a real business, so Xu Zhuo dare not take any chances.

But this matter is not in a hurry, because generally this kind of ambiguous task, the system will slowly give some clues later.

For example, if you meet some investors who have cash in their hands but no projects, you can only do branch stores when such events that can trigger the opening of branches occur.

While everyone was eating and drinking, Yuan Kang asked Xu Zhuo this question again.

Xu Zhuo said with a smile: "I haven't thought about this issue now, one store is enough for me to have a headache, if I open a branch store, it won't be more troublesome.

Let's wait until the new store is on the right track. Don't worry, you can't take too long to do this kind of business, otherwise it will be easy to mess up. "

When the meal was almost finished, everyone got up and left, wandered around for a while, found a drink shop, drank some drinks and chatted for a while, and then dispersed.

Next, Xu Zhuo was busy making videos.

Ni Changye not only filmed live broadcasts with Xu Zhuo, but also contacted some colleagues from the past to serve as food consultants for Sifang Restaurant.

These old people, together with the old man and the others, already exceeded fifteen people, and Xu Zhuo also successfully completed the main task.

"Ding, the host successfully completed the main task within the specified time, and got the B-level signature Lu cuisine - three shredded shark's fin, white grilled four treasures, Confucian first-class pot, congratulations to the host."

When the system's notification sounded in his mind, Xu Zhuo was a little excited.

It's not easy to finally get in touch with the high-end dishes of Shandong cuisine.

In fact, the roasted sea cucumber with green onions that he came across a long time ago is also a high-end dish of Shandong cuisine, but this dish is often eaten at home, so Xu Zhuo didn't feel much about it.

As for the newly obtained recipes, the old man doesn't do them often, so they seem a little rare.

The names and grades of these dishes are enough to be their signature dishes, so Xu Zhuo plans to make them in the video, as a warm-up for the new restaurant's dishes.

In this way, it will be more convenient when publicizing in the future.

The first thing Xu Zhuo photographed was the famous high-end dish of Shandong cuisine - three shredded shark's fin.

Chapter 1497 Three Silk Shark Fins

There are many top-grade dishes in Shandong cuisine, many of which use rare ingredients.No matter how these ingredients are ranked, shark fin can be among the top three.

Shark fins are the fins of sharks, which are dried by a series of techniques and made into treasures.

From ancient times to the present, shark fin is indispensable in the selection of Bazhen in all ages.

In our country, eating shark fin is not only a symbol of wealth, but also a reflection of social status.Because there are very few people who can afford shark fin.

Especially for those top-grade shark fins, the price of each cup is thousands or even thousands of dollars, and those who do not have a certain social status cannot afford to enjoy it at all.

Selling in cups is also a major feature of shark fin.

Shark fin is most suitable for soup because it is rich in gelatin and protein, and has a texture close to that of vermicelli.

In some film and television dramas, in order to show boldness, they often come back to say a sentence before eating: first have a cup of shark fin to rinse your mouth.

But this is purely pretentious, because shark fin is so expensive, no one really uses it to rinse their mouth, and shark fin is rich in gelatin, the soup made has a certain viscosity, and it will only be counterproductive to use it to rinse your mouth .

In recent years, due to the promotion of concepts such as environmental protection, and the bloody and cruel operation of fishermen to harvest shark fins, shark fins have been disliked by more and more people.

In fact, from a nutritional point of view, the nutritional content of shark fin is not even as good as that of egg white.

In terms of taste, this thing is very similar to the taste of vermicelli. If you don’t specify it, no one knows whether the real food is shark’s fin or starch vermicelli.

To put it bluntly, this thing is just to gain fame.

Therefore, the business of some high-end restaurants that mainly focus on shark fin has begun to decline, and some stores are even in crisis.

The reason is that more and more people are becoming more rational when it comes to eating.

Xu Zhuo originally didn't plan to make three silk shark's fins. After all, this dish is not environmentally friendly. If it is publicized, people will be accused of being cruel or something.

But it won't work if you don't do it.

Because there have always been rumors on the Internet that Xu Zhuo can only cook home-cooked dishes, but not high-end dishes, and it has gradually become a point of view attacked by black fans.

This time Xu Zhuo photographed the dish of three shredded shark fin, the purpose is to prove himself.

At the same time, let some older gourmets see the level of Sifang Restaurant.

In the Shandong cuisine system, there are many dishes related to shark's fin, but the most representative one is the three silk shark's fin.

The so-called Sansi Shark’s Fin usually refers to a soup made of shredded sea cucumber, shredded abalone, shredded winter bamboo shoots and shark’s fin.

But until now, Sansi has completely changed.

There are shredded shiitake mushrooms, shredded chicken legs, shredded ham, shredded black fungus, and even shredded tenderloin. There are all kinds of things.

However, in the orthodox method of this dish, Sansi has always been three kinds of sea cucumber, abalone and winter bamboo shoots.

The sea cucumbers and abalones used in this are actually not cheap, and the best products are priceless. This kind of high-quality ingredients is paired with top-quality shark fins that are hard to buy.

A cup of thousands of dollars is quite normal.

After all, these ingredients alone are quite difficult to find. If the price is the same as that of Hu spicy soup, how many ingredients will be consumed in a year to supply it?

This shooting of Sansi Shark Fin should be the most costly since Xu Zhuo made the video.

The shark fins come from the old man's collection. In the early years, one of his apprentices bought several pieces of top-quality shark fins from Hong Kong, each worth more than six figures.

And this is still the price of the year, and the value will only be higher if it is collected until now.

This time, for a better video effect, the old man deliberately took out the smallest piece, but it was as big as a cattail fan.

Originally, Xu Zhuo thought it would be good to buy finished shark fins online. Anyway, as long as they look good, the audience will not know whether it is true or not.

But as soon as the old man heard that Xu Zhuo was going to make shark fins, he couldn't help asking Xu Wenhai to send over the shark fins he had collected at home, and he also specifically asked Xu Wenhai to bring his chef's uniform embroidered with the national emblem when he came.

Obviously, the old man wanted this limelight.

Xu Zhuo had no choice but to cancel the shark fin order on the online shopping platform.

After the old man brought the shark's fin, Ji Wenxuan, who heard the news, sneaked over with a bag of dried abalone. Although he kept saying that the two-headed abalone in his collection was worthless, he sent it here just to give the old man a boost. .

But the overalls he was carrying betrayed him completely.

Obviously, Ji Wenxuan also wanted to appear on the scene.

This kind of dish is more difficult to come across, not to mention making it for others, even if it is eaten by oneself, it is usually not so extravagant, so Ji Wenxuan also wanted to join in the fun.

Just when Xu Zhuo was going to take the two old people to shoot a video together, Ni Changye also came to the door.

What he brought was top-quality Liao ginseng. A few years ago, he had the honor to cook sea cucumber for a certain important person. At that time, the other party gave a few catties of limited-edition top-quality Liao ginseng. Ni Changye was reluctant to eat it and kept it until now.

But Ni Changye didn't think about appearing in the camera. He just heard that Xu Zhuo was going to shoot Sansi Shark's Fin, a classic and famous dish in Shandong cuisine.

After he came, Xu Zhuo naturally wouldn't just let him go, so there was another old man who made three silk shark fins.

When Zheng Guangyao, who was far away in Yangzhou, heard that Xu Zhuo made three silk shark fins, he couldn't help but buy some fresh bamboo shoots that had just been dug from a nearby mountain, sealed them with soil, and sent them to the capital by express mail.

He also kept telling Xu Zhuo to mention it when cooking. Cantonese cuisine also has the dish of three shredded shark's fin.

In fact, there are shark fin dishes in the eight major cuisines, but Shandong cuisine and Cantonese cuisine are the most cooked.

Now Shandong cuisine is in decline, but Cantonese cuisine has almost reached its limit in the development of shark fin.

The purpose of Zheng Guangyao's hope that Xu Zhuo would mention it was not only to promote Cantonese cuisine, but mainly to enhance his reputation as the No. 1 Cantonese cuisine.

If it wasn't too far away, and the people who took the video this time were all Shandong cuisine chefs, Zheng Guangyao would have arrived in the capital by now.

All the ingredients to be used have been prepared, and several elderly people have also prepared, so at 09:30 the next morning, the video officially started shooting.

In addition to sea cucumber, abalone and fresh bamboo shoots, this dish of three shredded shark's fin also uses ingredients such as clear chicken soup, thick chicken soup, duck fat, green onion and ginger, and chicken.

Don't think it's just a bowl of soup similar to vermicelli, but the ingredients and ingredients used in it are really beyond imagination, so it's normal to sell it expensive.

Dried seafood such as sea cucumber, abalone and shark fin, if you want to use it, you must first process it.

The quality of the hair system not only affects the taste and texture of the dishes, but may even cause the dishes to overturn.

This time Xu Zhuo plans to divide the video into two parts. The main content of the first part is to shoot the method and steps of making dried seafood.

Chapter 1498 Three Silk Shark Fins

Seafood is not always available, and the rarer the seafood, the harder it is to obtain.

Therefore, many people will not choose to eat some top-grade seafood obtained by chance, but make it into dry products, so that the seafood can be stored for a long time.
