Food starts with noodles

After signing the rental contracts one by one, Xu Zhuo immediately asked Tang Xiaoying to take charge of the house collection. By the way, he asked the housekeeping company to clean all the rooms, tidy up all the furniture and appliances, and replace those that needed to be replaced immediately.

This is for their own employees to live in, but it can't make do with it.

Only when the employees live well can they have more fighting spirit at work and have a better relationship with their neighbors.

After signing the contract, Xu Zhuo made another spicy soup for Lao Yang as usual.

The old man is so supportive of himself, as a chef, he will naturally repay him with delicious food.

Old Yangtou likes Hu spicy soup, so make him Hu spicy soup. Anyway, to Xu Zhuo, these are not big things, and it happens that he can practice his cooking skills and make good friends with his neighbors. have to.

Every time I make Hu spicy soup at Lao Yangtou's house, the elderly in the community will come over, which seems to be a gathering for the elderly in the community.

They don't come empty-handed either, and usually bring snacks such as fritters and pies that they make themselves.

It doesn't matter what you eat, what matters is the lively atmosphere.

For most of the old people present, this kind of excitement will only appear briefly at home during the New Year and holidays. Usually there is only one person or an old couple at home.

But now, everyone can find a reason to get together at Lao Yangtou's house, which is very good.

The neighbors brought not only ready-made snacks and delicacies, but even ingredients.

For example, now, Xu Zhuo is in a daze in front of a whole basket of toon sprouts.

This is another old man who just came back from his hometown. Hearing that he was having a party at Lao Yangtou's house today, he brought the toon buds from his hometown without any explanation, and gave everyone a taste of spring.

People from all over the world have different understandings of spring.

For people in the capital, only when they eat toon buds can they truly enter spring.

Spring and toon are homophonic, and eating toon is more like a concrete expression of Beijing people enjoying spring.

Since there are Chinese toon sprouts, and they are still the first crops of Chinese toon sprouts, and there is a professional chef like Xu Zhuo, it is natural to prepare a few dishes carefully.

Soon, delicious food such as toon omelette, fried toon fish, cold toon, tofu mixed with toon, baked toon pie, etc. were brought out from the kitchen.

Every time they did something, the old people in the living room would let out an exclamation.

Of course, it's not that they haven't seen the world, it's just that no younger generation has treated them like this for a long time, so these old people are very happy and satisfied.

In the kitchen, Xu Zhuo wiped the sweat off his face and couldn't help sighing.

"Fortunately, I haven't been idle recently, and even devoted myself to learning and getting a few dishes by analogy, otherwise it is really possible to make a fool of myself.

Tsk, the human design is indeed a shackle! "

Chapter 1504 Ingredients Full of Spring

Whether it is spreading toon eggs or frying toon fish, the method is actually not difficult.

Wash and chop the Chinese toon, put it into the beaten eggs, sprinkle a little salt and stir evenly, then pour it into the pot when the oil is hot, turn the pot slowly a few times, so that the egg liquid is evenly distributed in the pot spread out.

After the egg liquid has solidified, turn the omelet over and pour some peanut oil along the side of the pan.

When it is fried until golden on both sides, it can be enjoyed directly out of the pan and on a plate.

The biggest feature of this dish is its freshness.

The freshness of the egg and the freshness of the Chinese toon are mixed together. The double deliciousness makes people even short-circuit the brains of those who have just eaten it.

This kind of delicacy, mixed with the breath of spring, makes people realize that spring has finally come when they are caught off guard.

After eating spring pancakes on the day of the beginning of spring in the first lunar month, I have been thinking about the time when spring will really come every day.

Although in terms of solar terms, Lichun represents the official entry of spring, but at that time the capital was still freezing cold, and there was no feeling of spring at all.

Only walking near Sanlutun, those young ladies with bare legs in the cold wind can make people feel the breath of spring.

From the beginning of spring until the buds spit out from the branches, when everyone starts to take off their winter clothes at noon and the fragrance of flowers begins to smell in the air, spring is truly approaching.

Only when the dishes made of toon buds are served on the table, and the unique deliciousness is eaten into the stomach, can we truly feel the steps and breath of spring.

Chinese toon buds are a favorite ingredient of northerners, not only because of their delicious taste and short growth period, but more importantly, when Chinese toon buds grow, it is the so-called green and yellow period in the past.

In the past, what was missing was the period of spring, when the old grains had been eaten, while the new grains were still growing in the ground.

Green refers to the crops in the field.

And Huang is the food of the family.

When there is no harvest, we can only rely on wild vegetables to tide over the difficulties.

At the beginning of spring, there is nothing to eat, only the buds of various trees. At this time, the delicious Chinese toon buds have entered everyone's sight.

After the Chinese toon sprouts are eaten, the well-known fresh game such as elm money, willow ears, gray vegetables, etc. will gradually grow.

And when the Sophora japonica flowers hang on the branches, it is almost the end of spring. At that time, all kinds of wild vegetables have grown lush in the field, so there is no need to worry about running out of food.

Relatively speaking, early spring is the hardest during the whole lean period.

At this time, there is not much to eat, and the full count is the buds of various leaves.

Among these young shoots, some are inedible, some are poisonous, and the only one that tastes delicious and does not harm the body is Chinese toon.

So until now, northerners have not let go of their love for toon buds. Even if their lives are rich, the habit of eating toon buds has been passed down from generation to generation.

In this day and age, Chinese toon leaves are no longer a food to satisfy the hunger during the green and yellow period, but have become a popular vegetable in spring.

How tight is it?

Take early spring as an example, the toon sprouts in the vegetable market are almost two or three times the price of meat, and in some places they can even sell for 91 catties, which is simply amazing.

However, after Chinese toon buds are on the market on a large scale, the price will drop quickly.

After all, this thing is just a taste, and the demand is not too big.

The most common way to eat Chinese toon sprouts is to spread eggs. The combination of Chinese toon and eggs is perfect, and both ingredients are very delicious.

After being combined in this way, not only the umami flavors do not cover each other, but they also complement each other perfectly, and you can really feel the breath of spring after taking a bite.

In addition to spreading eggs, there is another delicacy that combines Chinese toon and eggs, and that is Chinese toon fish.

The method of toon fish is not difficult compared to spreading eggs. Beat the eggs, and then use chopsticks to dip the washed toon sprouts in, so that the egg liquid can completely wrap the toon sprouts.

Then put it in warm oil for frying, and when it is fried until the outside is crispy, it can be out of the pan.

This kind of delicacy is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the unique fragrance of Chinese toon after biting is very intoxicating, and even some can't help themselves.

In addition to these more common delicacies, there are many ways to eat Chinese toon sprouts.

You can even make noodles and steamed buns. Although some eating methods are unknown to Xu Zhuo, the old people present are very knowledgeable.

While eating this delicious Chinese toon dish, they chatted about the wild vegetable leaves that they used to satisfy their hunger in the famine years and lean years.

These words, they originally wanted to say to their children and grandchildren.

But now that their children and grandchildren are not around all year round, they can only tell Xu Zhuo.

It didn't matter to Xu Zhuo, anyway, he was popular with the elderly already established, and compared to the young, he really liked being with the elderly.

Because these elderly people have too many life insights, and these insights happen to be the key to the chef's progress.

Eating delicious food and drinking hot and spicy soup, because of the pepper and the temperature has risen, everyone's face is dripping with sweat.

Old Yang wiped the sweat off his face with a paper towel and said with a smile: "This is what you have to do when you drink Hu spicy soup. You can feel comfortable when you sweat all over your body, and all the moisture on your body is expelled.

It's a pity that there is no almond tofu at the moment. If there is another bowl of almond tofu, it will be called no cure. "

Almond tofu is a dessert made of almonds, because it resembles tofu, so it is called almond tofu.

In the Shandong cuisine system and even the entire Chinese cuisine, there is almost a dessert called almond tofu, which is very popular.

However, the biggest function of almond tofu is to cool off the heat. It is a delicacy that can be refrigerated or soaked in ice water in summer. Although it is already spring and the temperature has risen, it is not suitable for eating almond tofu.

And more importantly, Xu Zhuo didn't know how to make almond tofu dessert.

So he poured Lao Yangtou a cup of tea in a big way: "I can't eat cold things like almond tofu right now, I'll make them for you when the weather gets hotter, and let you try my craft. "

Xu Zhuo's craftsmanship has passed the verification of everyone, and everyone does not doubt it, and even has some expectations.

This kind of expectation is not because they are greedy, but because of their confidence in Xu Zhuo's cooking skills. In the recent gatherings, Xu Zhuo has made them amazing delicacies, so when they heard that Xu Zhuo will make almond tofu in the future, Everyone is looking forward to tasting it.

They were looking forward to it with excitement, but Xu Zhuo, who was the person involved, was a little worried.

For the almond tofu dessert, should I learn from the old man, or should I learn from Ji Wenxuan or Ni Changye?

There are too many candidates suitable to teach him, so it is a bit difficult for Xu Zhuo to choose.

And if he chooses one of them, he may make the other two old people unhappy.

It seems that there are too many resources, and sometimes it is not a good thing.

Oh, what a headache!

Chapter 1505 Visit Sifang Restaurant

Two days later, He Guoan led the cooks and waiters from the provincial capital to the capital by car.

They took their luggage and went directly to the community behind Sifang Restaurant to check in. After these things were done, they strolled to Sifang Restaurant.

It was originally scheduled for two days of free activities. Everyone can go to the Forbidden City and other popular tourist attractions together to get used to the environment and atmosphere of the capital.

After two days, it is considered to be officially at work.

But after everyone found their dormitory and put down their luggage, they wanted to go to the store to have a look, because this new store has been searched several times since buying the store.

However, there is no information on the interior decoration style or the overall design, which makes people in the provincial capital very curious.

So put down your luggage and come over to have a look, wondering how the place of work will be in the future.

Among these people, Guo Xingwang was the most excited.

Because this kid believed Xu Zhuo's introduction to the rich woman, he chose to come to the capital without any explanation, and even quarreled with Feng Weiguo because of this.

Because Feng Weiguo didn't plan to come to the capital, he just wanted to stay in the provincial capital.

For this old man, the capital city is too big and the pace of life is too fast, so he always has some resistance to living here.

And when he was in the provincial capital, he was a consultant at Sifang Restaurant, and he also took care of teaching Xu Zhuo how to cook, so he was more energetic.

But now, he has nothing to teach Xu Zhuo, and the consultants of Sifang Restaurant are all state banquet chefs, even if Feng Weiguo asks, Xu Zhuo will let him be a consultant.

But people, you have to be self-aware. Feng Weiguo's status in the Jianghu is a little lower than that of the state banquet chef, so he didn't open his mouth. Even when Xu Zhuo offered to invite him to the capital, he chose to decline.

It is Feng Weiguo's consistent belief not to be a burden to young people.

The funds in his hands are not much at all. Rather than playing around in the capital, he might as well enjoy life here in the provincial capital.

There are Zhao Jinma, Wei Junming, and many acquaintances from the original Sifang Restaurant, so staying in the provincial capital is not lonely.

Although Guo Xingwang was disobedient and wanted to come to the capital, but Shi Lei stayed in the provincial capital, intending to continue to hone himself in the back kitchen of Wei's restaurant.

This made Feng Weiguo very happy and found something to do.

When Guo Xingwang and several chefs he was acquainted with wandered to the gate of Sifang Restaurant, Xue Chunfeng and the others were doing the final finishing work.

"Brother Chunfeng, you work fast enough. I thought it would be great if it opened in summer. Who knew it would be done right now."

Guo Xingwang could chat with anyone, and when he saw Xue Chunfeng, he went over to chat.

The purpose of his chat was not only because he met an acquaintance, the most important thing was that the main door was locked now, and the side door was also blocked by decoration materials, and it was impossible to get in without moving it.

The reason for locking the door is very simple, it is not to let the nearby self-media who plan to come in to get popular get away with it.

Now that his own people came, Xue Chunfeng naturally didn't stop him, and asked people to remove the things blocking the side door, and Guo Xingwang and the others came to the new store that was rumored on the Internet.

The new store is called Sifang Restaurant. After everyone came to the front hall from the side door, their mouths opened wide. Even Guo Xingwang, who claims to be well-informed, couldn't help but swear:

"Fuck!"

The foyer is well designed, even luxurious.

After entering through the gate, there are three arch bridges in front of you. Under the arch bridge, there is the sound of gurgling water, but because of the spray of carbon dioxide, the water surface is looming.

This hazy feeling makes people feel like they are in a dream.
