Food starts with noodles

It is also because the fat is firm, so it is not easy to produce oil, and the oil production rate is not as good as that of suet.

Moreover, cooking lard with fatty meat requires a high degree of heat. If the fire is slightly higher, it will be boiled, and the price is not as cheap as suet, so generally no one uses fat meat to cook.

When Wei Junming was chopping the oil residue, Xu Zhuo who was making mung bean paste suddenly asked.

"Godfather, have you ever heard of making braised noodles with lard residue?"

Chapter 122

Wei Junming stopped what he was doing, with a fascinated expression on his face: "Noodles stewed in oil, I haven't eaten it for some years. Not only have I never eaten it, but no one has even mentioned it now."

"In the early years, before I was an apprentice with your grandfather, I couldn't eat a meal of meat a year, and I used lard to satisfy my greed."

"Break apart the freshly steamed steamed buns, spread some lard on top, and then sprinkle some coarse salt, rub the steamed buns back and forth while it's hot, so that the pork and coarse salt melt into the steamed buns."

"That taste is not to mention how fragrant it is."

"The oil residue from boiled lard is even more precious. Steamed buns, stewed noodles, stewed vegetables, boiled noodles... There are various ways to eat it."

"And I don't dare to put too much every time, just put a little bit, just to improve the taste. Lard dregs are very precious in poor families, so I dare not eat them all at once."

"The most delicious thing here is the stewed noodles with lard residue, because the noodles will absorb all the lard, and the taste is very fragrant."

"However, this method is not only expensive, but also expensive. Generally, the adults in the family do not do it."

"Who did you hear about braised noodles with oil residue? Young people probably know very little about it."

Xu Zhuo is busy stirring the pot at the moment: "Li Hao's teacher likes to eat this kind of stewed noodles, but unfortunately he can't make it well, and it's not sold outside. Li Hao just wants me to help his teacher make it once."

"This kid has been skipping classes recently, and he didn't even take the exam, which made his teacher anxious, so he thought of such a way to ease the relationship with his teacher."

Wei Junming had a good impression of Li Hao: "Li Hao is a very good kid, please help if you can. I just want to try it too. I haven't eaten this kind of braised noodles for at least 30 years."

Well, I wanted to ask about technical matters, but after chatting, I got an extra diner.

He hasn't eaten it for decades, so he probably can't tell why.

Or figure it out yourself.

After the mung bean paste was ready, Wei Junming helped Xu Zhuo lift the pot down and cool it down with a fan.

Seeing that the dough was almost ready, Xu Zhuo began to knead the dough.

Wei Junming chopped half a pot of lard residue, and then began to prepare the stuffing.

Wash and chop the soaked dried beans, then soak some fungus, vermicelli and dried shiitake mushrooms.

When Xu Zhuo was kneading the dough almost, Wei Junming also prepared the filling.

Chopped fungus and soaked vermicelli, diced dried shiitake mushrooms.

Then it was added to the pot with dried beans, and minced lard residue was added at the same time.

Because there is no raw meat, there is no need to beat the pepper water to remove the fishy smell.

Just sprinkle some allspice and pepper.

Then dig a spoonful of lard and add it.

The fillings in the buns are particularly oil-absorbing, so don’t be afraid to add more lard, the more you add, the better it tastes.

Mince onion and ginger and add to the stuffing.

Then start seasoning.

Oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, sugar.

After adding everything in, Wei Junming started stirring directly.

There are too many fillings, and they can't be stirred with chopsticks at all.

After stirring evenly, Xu Zhuo has already started to roll out the skin of the buns.

The father and son were the same as last time, one rolled the skin and one bag, and at 06:30, the first pot was already steamed.

After Xu Zhuo rolled out all the bun skins, he started to make braised pork, and Wei Junming let Wei Junming wrap the rest slowly.

"When I look back, I think it's better for you to buy a steamer."

"Not only is it convenient to steam steamed buns and steamed buns, but it is also very suitable for you to steam rice. You don't need to steam pots like this. A large steamer can do it, and the heat preservation effect is also very good."

Xu Zhuo cut the meat into large pieces and boiled it in the pot: "Let's wait until the decoration is finished. After a while, I will finish the decoration first. My grandfather bought Li Sifu's hardware store next door without saying a word, and let me expand the scale of operation myself." .”

Wei Junming was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "This is a good thing. It happens that Li Sifu's family is short of money. If you buy his house, their family can tide over the difficulties, and you can also expand your business scale."

At that time, Xu Zhuo had also thought about buying a house, but the demolition was imminent, so buying a house now was more or less like taking advantage of the fire.

Moreover, Li Wenming said at the time that his family had money, so he didn't have to worry about these things, probably to avoid embarrassment when negotiating prices.

If the price is too low, they feel pain, but if it is too high, they are afraid that Xu Zhuo will say that they are setting the price up.

So simply say that there is no shortage of money.

Now that the old man comes forward, it's much easier.

At least in terms of price, Li Sifu was absolutely satisfied.

Anyway, buying this house will definitely not lose money.

Moreover, Xu Zhuo's ability to make money is also good, maybe he can get back his money before the demolition.

Wei Junming asked: "Have all the things in the hardware store been moved away? If they have been moved away, I will bring you a useless camp bed from my house after I finish wrapping the buns later."

"You can sleep next door for a while in the morning, so as not to suffer from lack of sleep every day and affect your health."

"After the students are on vacation and the traffic decreases, you can start to decorate. Finish the decoration during the summer vacation, and it will not delay making money when school starts."

Xu Zhuo also wanted to take advantage of the summer vacation to rest, but there were still two main tasks to be completed, so he couldn't rest even if he wanted to.

The two were chatting, and the skipping trio arrived.

"Handsome boss, are the steamed buns ready? I'm so hungry..."

As soon as Yu Keke entered the door, he went to Xu Zhuo's side, and Xu Zhuo pointed to the steam rising from the pot: "Hurry up, we'll be ready to eat after a while."

After 10 minutes, the steamed buns came out of the pot, and the stewed pork was just put into the pot at this moment.

Wei Junming put the buns in a basket and asked Yu Keke to take them out, while he took the opportunity to cook egg soup.

It is best to have a soup to eat steamed buns, so that it will not be so greasy.

And eating buns and drinking soup is also more conducive to digestion.

The buns are delicious.

Although there are no pieces of meat inside, the sufficient fat makes the bag exude an attractive fragrance.

Take a bite and your mouth will be full of oil.

The vermicelli has absorbed enough oil and is shiny, while the dried beans are also more refreshing due to the infiltration of oil.

Occasionally eat a piece of oil residue, still with a crispy taste.

This bun is so delicious!

Li Hao sighed while eating: "Except for the disadvantage of making people fat, everything else is an advantage. It's really fragrant, so fragrant!"

A basket of steamed stuffed buns, several people actually ate them all up and down.

Wei Junming took the car keys and walked outside: "Xu Zhuo, watch out for the fire on the stove, I'll go and pull the bed over for you. By the way, is there an air conditioner next door?"

Xu Zhuo was drinking egg soup: "Yes, yes, yesterday Li Wenming gave me the remote control and everything. The air conditioner has been installed for at least seven or eight years, and it can't be sold, so it's left in the store. "

Wei Junming nodded: "Alright then, I'll bring you a quilt later so that you won't catch a cold while sleeping."

After Xu Zhuo finished his egg soup, he was about to get up and go to the back kitchen to have a look, when Li Hao suddenly came over: "Boss Xu, can I take a few of the next pot of buns?"

"I'm going to let Mr. Ma try it, let him feel your cooking first..."

Chapter 123 Teacher Ma Zhiqiang

Boss Xu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Li Hao to be so sneaky.

I would rather rack my brains to build a good relationship with the teacher than to study.

It's just...

But fortunately, Boss Xu didn't even think about building a good relationship with the teacher back then.

My mind is full of dungeons, missions, and equipment.

After four years of college, I couldn't even recognize the teachers in my class.

Not to mention the classmates, at the graduation party, except for the five bachelors he knew in the dormitory, none of the other classmates could be called by their names.

When the second pot of buns came out, Wei Junming drove up.

Li Haoqin quickly helped him lift the folding bed out of the trunk and put it in the empty hardware store next door.

Yu Keke hugged the quilt and helped Xu Zhuo make the bed.

The hardware store was in a mess, full of useless bags and cartons and other sundries.

Li Hao looked around and said to Xu Zhuo, "Boss Xu, if this gets through, Sifang Restaurant will immediately become a mid-range restaurant."

"The business area is almost [-] square meters. After the decoration is completed, there will be no need to worry about not having enough seats and waiting in line."

"However, the business area is large enough, but we don't have any decent hot dishes in our store yet. You have to hurry up and put out a few signs."

"Otherwise, when customers come to see it, it's too unreasonable for such a big restaurant to be supported by a few cold dishes and sheep's feet."

Xu Zhuo is also very anxious about this matter.

So I have to complete the main task quickly and get those two signature dishes.

After the task is completed, Chen Guifang will be handed over to decorate here, and he will go to Rongcheng to help his godfather find his godmother.

Once this task is completed, the reward will be a C-level signature dish.

Although I don't know what it is, but according to several D-level signature dishes in the store, this C-level signature dish has absolutely no problem supporting a restaurant.

Now Xu Zhuo has also figured out the level of the dishes.

For example, D-level signature dishes correspond to small restaurants and roadside stalls. This kind of place has a small business area, and the price will not be very high by selling fast food and snacks to attract customers.

Most of the guests who come to eat come for the benefits.

Dishes rely on quantity to win, do not require high basic skills, can cook a lot at one time, and do not need to cook in a single pot.

As for the C-level dishes, it is a restaurant with a slightly higher level, such as the future Sifang restaurant.

Xu Zhuo reckoned that the method would be a bit more complicated, at least not like braised lamb's trotters and mung bean paste, which can be made in a big pot at one time.

It should be done in a single pot.

But when the time comes, the manpower must be fully equipped, and if one pot is one pot, Boss Xu will not be afraid.

The skipping trio went to the exam with steaming steamed buns.

Xu Zhuo lay in the hardware store next door and gradually fell asleep.

In the back kitchen of Sifang Restaurant, only Wei Junming is busy steaming a pot of steamed buns.

By the way, help Xu Zhuo take care of the stewed meat on the stove.

Around 10:30, Xu Zhuo woke up.

He turned off the air conditioner in the hardware store, locked the door, and went back to the noodle shop.

As soon as he entered, he saw a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, sitting face to face with Wei Junming, chatting speculatively.

Seeing Xu Zhuo come in, Wei Junming introduced him: "Mr. Ma, this is my godson Xu Zhuo, and he made the buns."

Boss Xu was taken aback, this is the teacher Ma that Li Hao mentioned?

The man was about 40 years old, of medium build, with thinning hair.
