Food starts with noodles

In addition to the duck breast, there is also a lot of meat on the duck legs.

Moreover, the gravy on the duck legs is full of water, which tastes much better than the meat on the duck breast, but the duck skin on the duck legs is not thick enough, so in general, the meat on the duck legs is not as delicious as the meat on the duck breast.

After the meat on the duck legs has been sliced ​​off, the meat on the root of the duck wings must also be sliced ​​off.

Next is the meat of the two ribs. Although it is a little thinner, it can be picked off. After cleaning, the thicker part of the whole duck is almost sliced.

The remaining duck racks can be made into soup or salt and pepper duck racks.

Of course, you can also pack it and take it home, cook the duck soup by yourself, add some vermicelli and duck blood, and you can make a pot of duck blood vermicelli soup with a strong fragrance.

It is also very enjoyable to eat.

Xu Zhuo held a duck knife, and each piece of duck meat would be neatly placed on the plate.

Duck meat can be arranged in the shape of peony flowers, chrysanthemums, or even ducks on the plate. There are many tricks, but these are basically in the category of showmanship. Compared with the taste of roast duck, Not worth mentioning.

After the duck meat was sliced, Xu Zhuo put down the duck knife in his hand and wiped the duck fat off his hands with a towel. Then he looked at Ni Changye, He Guoan and several roast duck masters and asked:

"How is it? My level, is it okay?"

Chapter 1529 Rewards are everywhere, so annoying!

The roast duck is ready, but it is still a few steps away from being served.

The first is sweet noodle sauce. Sweet noodle sauce is the soul of roast duck. Although some people have invented the method of eating rose sauce and caviar, the orthodox way of eating roast duck is still dipped in sweet noodle sauce.

Only the sweet noodle sauce can bring out the aroma of the duck meat to the maximum extent, and at the same time make the roast duck taste very delicious.

Well, because the roast duck is not marinated with seasoning in advance, it has no taste until it is served.

If you want to be delicious, it is all supported by the taste of sweet noodle sauce.

From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to call sweet noodle sauce the soul of roast duck.

Sweet noodle sauce, also known as sweet sauce, is a sauce-like condiment made from flour as the main raw material through koji making and heat preservation fermentation.

Its taste is sweet and salty, with sauce and ester aroma at the same time. It is suitable for cooking sauce-boiled and sauce-cooked dishes, such as "sauce-baked diced meat", and can also be dipped in green onions, cucumbers, roast ducks and other dishes.

It can be said that in the system of Shandong cuisine and even the entire northern cuisine, sweet noodle sauce plays a pivotal role.

Especially in the capital city, the way of eating sweet noodle sauce is to the point where there is no sauce.

However, if the sweet noodle sauce is used to eat roast duck, the taste is too strong and too salty, so it cannot be eaten directly, and it needs to be prepared first.

The preparation of sweet noodle sauce has almost become the secret of every roast duck restaurant, because the quality of the sauce is directly related to the taste of the duck.

The sweet noodle sauce at Sifang Restaurant was made by Xu Zhuo two days ago.

The specific method is not difficult. First, heat up the pan, slide the pan with cold oil, then add duck oil, and pour the prepared raw noodle sauce into it after heating to start stir-frying.

After frying the aroma, pour half a bowl of rice wine into the pot, and use the volatility of the wine to evaporate some bad smells in the noodle sauce, making the noodle sauce taste more pure.

After finishing this step, put a handful of rock sugar in the pot, pour in a bowl of water, and boil over low heat.

When cooking, you need to constantly stir the pot with a spoon, which can prevent sticking to the pot and also make the rock sugar melt faster.

When the sauce in the pot is boiled and thickened, it can be served.

This is the dipping sauce for roast duck.

Of course, you can also put some scallion oil and garlic oil in it, or even a little pepper oil, so that the fragrance will be richer.

But Xu Zhuo didn't put these, because according to the system's prompt, doing so would suppress the aroma of the duck meat.

Only when the quality of the duck is average, will these icing on the cake be put to cover up the lack of taste of the duck.

If the quality of the duck passes the standard, there is no need to add these, and it can be used when it is boiled to a moderate viscosity.

In addition to sweet noodle sauce, shredded green onions and cucumber strips are also used to eat roast duck.

Shredded green onions are ready. Zhangqiu scallions with a sweet taste and no residue are prepared for roast duck.

Take the white part of the scallion, cut it vertically with a kitchen knife, take out the core of the scallion and put it aside, put the white part of the scallion flat on the chopping board, and use a kitchen knife to thin it into filaments about [-] cm long. The shredded scallion is ready .

Cucumbers are simpler, just cut the tender cucumbers into long sections of three or four millimeters square.

In addition to these, some roast duck restaurants will also serve with Xinmei radish and cantaloupe sticks, etc. These are actually nothing special, as long as you don’t cut them too big and don’t put too much when eating, the taste is almost the same.

Because these ingredients mainly play a role in removing greasiness, adding some refreshing taste to the sweet noodle sauce and duck meat, so you don't need to pay too much attention to it.

As for the lotus leaf cake is also very important.

There are two kinds of lotus leaf cakes for eating roast duck, one is steamed and the other is baked.

The two kinds of cakes have their own characteristics, the steamed cakes are softer, and the pancakes are tougher.

However, no matter steamed cakes or pancakes, they are required to be made by hand. Only in this way, it will be more interesting and delicious to eat with roast duck.

After placing duck meat, lotus leaf cake, sweet noodle sauce, shredded green onion, cucumber strips, etc., Xu Zhuo picked up a piece of lotus leaf cake and carefully divided it into two pieces. Put a piece of duck meat on it, put a few shredded green onions and a cucumber strip, wrap it together and put it in your mouth.

The umami and aroma immediately exploded in the mouth. The sweet bean sauce perfectly brought out the aroma of the duck, and the cucumber sticks neutralized the greasyness of the duck.

It can be said to be perfect.

The roast duck this time is not as amazing as other A-level dishes, but the method is a bit back to basics.

However, after eating it, the aftertaste is very fragrant and sticks to the stomach, which makes people feel very heart-warming.

This is probably the charm of food.

Xu Zhuo was not very hungry at first, but he ate several cakes in one go.

After eating, everyone started to get busy. Xu Zhuo didn't pay attention to the roast duck anymore. Instead, he made an appointment with a few roast duck chefs to take time to shoot a video of roast duck the day after tomorrow to warm up the new restaurant.

The soft opening soon passed. In the past few days, the reputation of Sifang Restaurant began to spread in the capital. Many customers who had eaten there spontaneously became propagandists of Sifang Restaurant, and began to publicize the delicious food of Sifang Restaurant on various platforms.

Some people even asked Xu Zhuo on Zhihu: With such a good craftsmanship, why didn't you come to Beijing earlier?

There were many similar topics, which made Xu Zhuo, Sifang Restaurant and the executives of the company all confident and full of expectations for the prospects of the new store.

Even on the company side, some people have already started to think about the branch.

Xu Zhuo hasn't thought about the branch yet, because he is busy helping Zhang Yuejin call all the bosses to eat together.

On the night before the opening, it was quite normal to invite guests from all walks of life to celebrate, but Xu Zhuo wanted Zhang Yuejin to take the lead in doing business at this dinner party, which surprised many people.

Sifang Restaurant is closed today, after all, the opening ceremony is going to be tomorrow, and there are many things to deal with.

And after the trial operation, it is also necessary to review the gains and losses of the operation in the past few days and the areas that need improvement.

Throughout the day, Xu Zhuo was busy with meetings, adjusting dishes, and standardizing the management of the store. After dark, he was busy inviting guests from all walks of life to the store for dinner, and by the way, getting Zhang Yuejin ready for the evening. speech.

Xu Zhuo was tired all day, so at night he simply said thank you for coming from afar, and brought the topic to Zhang Yuejin.

After Zhang Yuejin got up and started to speak, Xu Zhuo sat down and began to eat the dishes on the table with big mouthfuls.

If you are too tired, food can comfort your tired soul.

But while he was eating, the system jumped out and started making trouble.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for helping Zhang Yuejin convene the supplier joint meeting. The host will be rewarded with a C-level famous Sichuan dish-Husband and wife lung slices. Congratulations to the host."

Chapter 1530 Then can you help me find a courtyard house?

Husband and wife lung slices?

Xu Zhuo was a little surprised. The current dish rewards are basically high-end, but at this time, a cold dish was rewarded.

Although this dish is also very famous, and it is even one of the top ten famous dishes of Sichuan cuisine, it is really not difficult to make.

To put it bluntly, this delicacy is to put beef, beef skin, beef heart, beef tongue, tripe and other ingredients in a pot to marinate separately, then cut into thin slices and put them on a plate, and finally pour a spoonful of stewed beef soup and red meat. Oil, sprinkle a little pepper noodles, and it's done.

Although the name of this dish contains the word lung slices, there is really no beef lung among the ingredients.

It is said that this dish used to have beef lungs. It turns out that this dish is called "waste film", which is made of some unwanted leftovers from cattle. The beef lungs are also one of the leftovers.

Later, I felt that the word "waste film" was not good, and there was beef lung in this dish, so it was changed to lung slices.

But the beef lungs are made in this way, and the texture and taste are very ordinary, so the beef lungs are gradually removed from this dish, and this dish has become a dish called lung slices but without lung slices.

Just like there is no wife in wife cakes, and there is no beef in beef noodles.

But now that I have got this dish, I will make it later, which can be regarded as adding a new dish to the store.

Anyway, there is braised beef in the store, and it would be nice to add another similar dish.

In the Sichuan cuisine system, although the dish of husband and wife lung slices uses red oil, and the portion is quite large, this dish is relatively light in terms of taste and texture.

When making this dish, no condiments such as light soy sauce, old soy sauce, salt, etc. are added, only a little bit of the soup used for braised beef, plus a spoonful of red oil that has no spicy taste but a scent, and a little pepper noodles.

In addition, some ingredients such as crushed peanuts and minced garlic will be sprinkled.

Although the whole dish seems to have a strong taste with a lot of red oil, it is not the case. In Sichuan cuisine, this dish is a small spicy dish. It tastes light and full of aftertaste. It's just right.

From the beginning to the end of the whole dinner, Xu Zhuo was thinking about the shortcomings of the dishes in the restaurant, and he didn't listen to Zhang Yuejin's speech at all.

This is not a trivial matter, and Zhang Yuejin naturally does not expect to do it once.

As long as everyone can calm down and listen to him, and think about the possibility of this incident, Zhang Yuejin feels that tonight has been very successful.

As for whether it can be achieved in the end, or how many people can be attracted to participate, this needs to be discussed again, and it cannot be achieved overnight.

Tonight is Xu Zhuo's home game, and Zhang Yuejin is related to Xu Zhuo, so everyone took it easy and didn't interrupt Zhang Yuejin's words.

He is not afraid of being questioned by others, but he is afraid that everyone will listen to it with a smile and talk about other things with a smile, and will not take it seriously at all.

Some people questioned it, which means that they really thought about the pros and cons of this, and really imagined various problems after the alliance, otherwise why would they join in this kind of fun.

Is it because the dishes on the table are not delicious, or the Wuliangye used for entertaining guests is not tasty?

Under the leadership of a few people who didn't know whether it was the trustee or the hotel owner who was really interested, everyone actually had a serious discussion.

In the end, these people simply agreed that after tomorrow's opening ceremony, they would go to the meeting room of the four-star hotel where everyone lived to have a good chat about this matter.

After dinner, Zhang Yuejin held Xu Zhuo's hand, his face full of gratitude.

"Xiao Zhuo, thank you very much this time. Everyone responded enthusiastically, which was much better than I expected. I think even if this matter fails, it will be helpful for future cooperation.

You helped me, now should you give me a chance to help you? "

Zhang Yuejin was very satisfied with Xu Zhuo's appeal. Tonight's results far exceeded his expectations. He already had a premonition that the matter was basically done.

Although I don't know how many merchants will be willing to participate, but as long as Xu Zhuo's restaurants can join in, this matter can be done.

While he was happy, he wanted to repay Xu Zhuo even more.

If someone helped me, I have to find a way to repay the past.

So, he pulled Xu Zhuo at this moment, insisting that Xu Zhuo give an excuse to help.

Xu Zhuo: "..."

This is the first time I have encountered such a thing when I grow up so old, but now I say what I want, and naturally I feel a lot more at ease.

He thought for a while and said: "Grandpa Zhang, you have a lot of acquaintances in the capital, can you help me find a courtyard house? My grandfather lived in a courtyard house in the capital for several years when he was young, and now he is back in the capital again, so I want to buy another one." Letting them live in a courtyard house is a way to reminisce about their youth.

But you also know that the courtyard houses in the capital are either ridiculously expensive or of poor quality, so I want you to help find them. "

In Beijing, not all courtyards with houses on all sides are called Siheyuan, because there are also a large number of large courtyards in Beijing.

The so-called zayuan means that there are many people living in the same yard, and they use public toilets, all kinds of mess. Now in the capital, there are many renters living in zayuan.

This is obviously different from the luxuriously decorated courtyard house with a single family.

Zhang Yuejin looked at Xu Zhuo blankly, he was already ready to transfer the money tomorrow, but who knows, it was such a completely unexpected thing to buy a courtyard house.

However, he has been in the business field for so many years. Although he was surprised, he didn't show it. Instead, he said with a smile: "Okay, okay, leave this matter to me. Help you inquire carefully and see if there is a suitable courtyard house for sale."

He didn't ask Xu Zhuo what he wanted from the courtyard house, and Xu Zhuo didn't take the initiative to say it.

Because both of them knew that this was destined to be a relatively long process, because the courtyard house was not a commercial house, and it was enough to go to the sales department to pay the money.

There are quite a few courtyard houses in the capital, and there are no free ones. You can only buy them when people want to sell them, otherwise, just stare.

In addition, even if someone wants to sell it, you have to like it.
