Food starts with noodles

Even people who only put three cups of ingredients will put condiments such as sugar in the cups in a mysterious way.

In the end, when Zheng Guangyao came to do it, he thought that there would be more ingredients, but he only put three cups of ingredients and nothing else.

Even the peppers that are going to be put in now don't add much to the taste.

The biggest function of these peppers is actually...

It just looks good.

Zheng Guangyao stirred the pot with a spoon, and now there was only a thick layer of fat on the bottom of the pot, and the soup was no longer visible.

But when you stir it with a spoon, you can feel the tenderness and juiciness of these chickens.

You don't need to taste it at all, just by looking at the ruddy color, you know it is very delicious.

After flipping it a few times, Zheng Guangyao poured the peppers that Xu Zhuo had cut into it, and turned them over with a spoon, so that the peppers were as much as possible on the bottom.

Then cover the pot and continue cooking.

But this time you don’t need to cook for too long, 3 minutes is enough.

After 3 minutes, Zheng Guangyao turned off the fire, then placed the casserole on the stove on a large plate with a towel.

The advantage of this is that it can prevent hot hands when serving, and it also looks better.

"Under normal circumstances, the lid of the pot is not lifted for this kind of dish now, and it will be lifted only when it is served in front of the customer, so that the customer can smell the smell of the pot.

That kind of sizzling scene is something that many people are happy to see happen.

If the casserole served did not sizzle, there would be no repeat customers for that kind of restaurant in Guangdong. "

As a chef of Cantonese cuisine, Zheng Guangyao almost put his pickiness on his face.

Xu Zhuo came to the dining table where the tasting was filmed and sat down. After the camera was set up, Zheng Guangyao put the casserole in front of Xu Zhuo's face, and then covered it with a towel, opened the lid of the casserole, and took it over.

As soon as the lid was opened, there was the sound of hot oil sizzling in the pot. The cameraman immediately came over with the camera to record the current sound in the pot.

This sound is nice and inviting, and it makes people feel hungry all at once.

And the rich aroma wafting out of the pot makes people drool when they smell it.

This kind of smell is really good, the smell of sauce, the smell of wine, the unique fresh smell of chicken, and the strong smell of lard.

All kinds of scents were mixed together, not to mention Xu Zhuo was addicted, even the videographers who shot the video swallowed while shooting.

Finally finished recording, Xu Zhuo couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks.

Began to eat!

Chapter 1595 Rewards for Living in a Courtyard

When the three-cup chicken was made, there was only a little rice wine and soy sauce because no water was added.

In addition, it is made in a pot, so the chicken tastes great.

The chicken has a great texture while remaining tender and juicy.

It is a little hard to chew, but it adds to the deliciousness of this dish, making it more comfortable to eat and more appetizing.

These chickens have a chewy texture, but they are tender and juicy when eaten. Coupled with the strong aroma of the sauce, the more you eat, the more enjoyable you will be.

After Xu Zhuo tasted two pieces, he couldn't help getting up to fill a bowl of rice.

It was a bit late to shoot the video today. When the shooting started, Xu Zhuo steamed a pot of rice beside him. He originally planned to make two side dishes after the shooting, so that the cameramen had lunch before leaving get off work.

As a result, he couldn't help it before the filming was over.

When the three-cup chicken was made, no spices were added, not even scallions and ginger. Instead, a cup of lard was added, which made the chicken taste extra delicious.

Not only has the delicious taste of chicken, but also the aroma of lard.

This kind of aroma makes people particularly appetizing, so Xu Zhuo couldn't stop eating.

Originally, it was enough to try the food for half a minute, but Xu Zhuo just finished eating a bowl of rice in a daze.

After eating, he still smacked his lips with an unfinished expression.

Obviously not enough.

However, after eating too much Three Cup Chicken, Xu Zhuo also found some shortcomings, or from the perspective of a northerner, he found the shortcomings of this dish.

If you put some chili into it when making it, no matter Erjingtiao or Chaotian pepper, I believe the taste of this dish will be improved to a higher level.

It's a pity that Zheng Guangyao, a Cantonese, doesn't like spicy food, and he doesn't use chili in his dishes.

Even if it is released, it is only for color matching, and there is no spicy taste at all.

Relatively speaking, Xu Zhuo still prefers to eat spicy dishes, which are not only more appetizing, but also more appetizing.

This dish of Three Cup Chicken tastes a bit similar to braised chicken, but compared with braised chicken, it has less soup, more vigorous chicken, and more juicy chicken.

Simply put, it is better than braised chicken.

After eating a bowl of rice, Xu Zhuo put down his chopsticks, and the cameramen also started packing their equipment.

While they were busy, Xu Zhuo took out a piece of pork belly and some green chilies from the refrigerator, and made them a stir-fried pork with chili.

There is still a lot of three-cup chicken in the pot, and with a small pot of chili fried meat, a proper and hearty lunch comes out.

After finishing the dishes, Xu Zhuo and Zheng Guangyao changed their chef uniforms and went downstairs to leave.

The two didn't eat here, but drove to Ji's Roast Duck Restaurant.

Today is Ji Wenxuan's birthday, he invites everyone to have dinner and get together.

As a junior, Xu Zhuo would naturally not refuse.

And Zheng Guangyao has been in Yangzhou for so many days, and now he likes to join in the fun, so Lao Zheng will not be absent on occasions like birthdays.

After arriving at the place, the two got out of the car.

Xu Zhuo took out a red sandalwood box from the trunk, which contained a set of high-end purple sand tea sets.

This is his birthday present for Ji Wenxuan.

From the opening of the store in the capital to the present, Ji Wenxuan and the members of Ji's family have been helping him unremittingly.

Now that it's someone's birthday, it's natural to give him a decent gift.

Compared to Xu Zhuo, Zheng Guangyao's preparations were much simpler.

His gift was a rolling pin.

When the gift was taken out, Xu Zhuo was a little surprised.

Some even couldn't believe their eyes.

What, I give you a rolling pin on my birthday. Is this trying to mess things up?

In the end, Zheng Guangyao looked very precious and wrapped the rolling pin in a high-grade wooden box, which surprised Xu Zhuo a little.

"Grandpa Zheng, is there anything special about this rolling pin?"

When he was in the back kitchen of the state banquet, Ji Wenxuan was already married.

So Xu Zhuo wondered if this rolling pin was the weapon Ji Wenxuan used when he was violently beaten by his wife.

Zheng Guangyao said with a smile: "This is a rolling pin that I took from the kitchen when I left the kitchen at the state banquet, and I haven't been willing to use it for so many years.

Now that Lao Ji celebrates his birthday, let’s give it to him. I’m not good at making pasta, so it’s a bit of a secret to put me here. "

Xu Zhuo smacked his lips, it has been so many years, can this thing still work?

However, the kitchen utensils used after the state banquet are indeed a little different.

When Zheng Guangyao said just now, he deliberately opened the box, so that Xu Zhuo could see the words "Special Offer for the Kitchen of the State Banquet" engraved on both ends of the rolling pin.

Well, in the era of the planned economy, everything was special.

Even this rolling pin is specially provided.

"This rolling pin is not only written, but also made of relatively hard wood, purely handmade.

Relatively rare. "

When he said this, Xu Zhuo also felt that it was quite commemorative.

The two went in with gifts, and led by the waiter, to an oversized private room on the third floor.

Xu Zhuo has been to this private room before, and it can accommodate four large dining tables for 16 people, which are specially prepared for dinner parties.

When Xu Zhuo and Zheng Guangyao opened the door and came in, the guests inside were already seated and waiting for the food to be served.

The arrival of the two caused many guests to raise their mobile phones to take pictures.

There is no way, Xu Zhuo's reputation is too great now, and yesterday afternoon he and Zheng Guangyao had just done a four-hour live broadcast, and even Zheng Guangyao was filmed.

When the two came to sit at the main seat, Ji Wenxuan said with some complaints: "You two were almost late, so hurry up and sit down, it's time for the food to be served later."

Xu Zhuo and Zheng Guangyao handed the presents to the waiter. Yu Keke looked at Zhen Guangyao holding the long box and asked curiously, "Grandpa Zheng, what are you holding?"

Zheng Guangyao said with a smile: "I stole a rolling pin from the kitchen at the state banquet back then. Your grandfather should know it well."

Yu Peiyong looked at Zheng Guangyao in surprise: "The rolling pin was really useful at that time, do you still have any?"

The old man was more direct, and took the wooden box from the waiter's hand, opened it without any explanation, then took out the rolling pin inside, and turned it twice with the palm of his hand.

"It's really the rolling pin from back then, with words engraved on it.

Old Zheng, why are you taking everything? This is collective property. If it weren't for your age, I really want to report you. "

Naturally, he was joking, and everyone knew the old man's temper, so they all laughed.

The rolling pin has now become a prop for these old people to recall the past. Each of them rubbed it in their hands for a while, with nostalgic expressions in their eyes.

It wasn't until the dishes came that the rolling pin was passed into Ji Wenxuan's hands.

Ji Wenxuan said: "When I have time later, use this rolling pin to make some pancakes and try it, it should taste very good.

Jimin, I'll give you some at that time, everyone try it. "

The old man refused mercilessly: "I don't want to eat it. You all touched it just now, and you don't know if you washed your hands."

Ji Wenxuan: "..."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Where the old man is around, there is very little silence.

After finishing the birthday banquet, Xu Zhuo devoted himself to the intense work again.

He first introduced the back kitchen of Sifang Restaurant and the workflow of the back kitchen through a live broadcast, so that everyone can see how clean the back kitchen of Sifang Restaurant is and how serious it is about the ingredients.

After the live broadcast here, the effect is surprisingly good.

And it also sparked a wave of posting about hotel kitchens on the Internet.

Whether or not a restaurant dares to show off its kitchen has become the standard for judging whether a restaurant is good or not on the Internet.

This made Xu Zhuo feel a bit off.

However, food hygiene has always been the top priority of the catering industry. In theory, it is very good to use this method to enhance the hygiene concept in the industry and increase the hygiene awareness of the people.

Even the Health and Medical Commission praised Xu Zhuo's behavior, thinking it was right.

After Xu Zhuo tasted the sweetness of this kind of live broadcast, he returned to the provincial capital non-stop and did a three-day live broadcast at Xu Xiaochu Food Factory.

The production process of stewed beef, sweet-skinned duck, salted salted duck, spicy crisp, hot pot ingredients and other foods is broadcast live one by one.

Anyway, the quality of the factory has been very close, and the hygiene of the working environment has always been the top priority.

The employees here will be fully armed when they enter the workshop.

Everything from face masks to gloves, rain boots and more.

Moreover, there is a disinfection channel at the door of the workshop, and everyone who enters must be disinfected from head to toe.

After these live broadcasts were exposed, not only the sales of Xu Xiaochu's online store surged, all the products were out of stock, even the Meixiang brand pickles sold in the store were sold out.

In addition, since the live broadcast was exposed, the company has received a lot of calls every day asking for an agent, hoping to become the agent or distributor of Xu Xiaochu's gourmet food.

Originally, Xu Zhuo didn't intend to mix these things.
