Food starts with noodles

Are you still planning to impress Tang Xiaoying with your thoughts?

As a result, Xu Zhuo made such a push, and Mr. Charles shrank immediately.

When he was not in front of Tang Xiaoying, this guy was active in thinking and excited, and even thought of the child's name.

But as soon as he asked him to find Tang Xiaoying, Jianguo became so nervous that he didn't know what to say, and he completely lost the confidence he had when he named himself Charles.

Under such circumstances, it was really not easy to catch up with Tang Xiaoying.

Xu Zhuo sighed slightly in his heart, brother can help with other things, but about chasing girls... Boss Xu is not very good at such things.

He has never been in contact with girls. Although he has Yu Keke as his girlfriend now, it was Yu Keke who stalked him and took him down.

Boss Xu didn't even have a straight confession, so he became the prey of the little girl in a daze.

Therefore, Xu Zhuo couldn't give any constructive advice. He winked at Li Hao. Li Hao and Sun Panpan were better at provoking people.

One of these two couples is a master of emotion, and the other is a well-known courtesan in the medical school. It is absolutely easy for Jianguo to give Jianguo some love experience.

However, since Sun Panpan had brainwashed Jianguo a little too much just now, Xu Zhuo winked at Li Hao, it would be better to let him do this matter.

As for Meng Liwei and Cao Kun, even if these two are divorced not long ago, and their relationship has been severely frustrated, it is better to keep this kind of excitement to a minimum.

Li Hao helped Jianguo adjust his clothes: "Don't be nervous, just go and tell her directly, after all, you are Mr. Charles with an aristocratic temperament."

Jianguo is not in the mood to joke with him now. This seems to be his first date with a girl. Although he said he was not nervous, sweat was still all over his forehead.

"Brother Jianguo, hurry up. Sister Xiaoying is on duty in the lobby right now. Just go and look for her. Don't be nervous, let alone be afraid."

Yu Keke didn't find out if Tang Xiaoying had a date, but she saw that Tang Xiaoying was in the bank lobby right now, so it was a good time to ask her out for dinner.

Jianguo's head was sweating before he went out, and he was so nervous that Xu Zhuo kept shaking his head.

This can't work, you have to help him.

Boss Xu took out 1 yuan from the counter and handed it to Jianguo: "This is an advance salary for you. Didn't you apply for a card next door? Go over and deposit it. It's just like your Mistang."

This not only created opportunities for Jianguo, but also showed Tang Xiaoying's income.

Although money is not necessarily a plus item, but a down-to-earth man will at least not make girls feel disgusted.

Jianguo took the money, encouraged himself, and left the house in a dignified manner.

Meng Liwei hiccupped, looked at Jianguo's back and muttered, "Why do I feel that Mr. Charles is going to die heroically? Can we get that Miss Tang?"

Xu Zhuo guessed it was enough, but no one can say for sure about this kind of thing. The so-called machete is facing the ladle to cut vegetables, maybe it will be right.

Curious, Yu Keke also went to the bank.

She took out a little money from her bag, pretended to save money, followed the fun, and helped everyone find out about the date.

There are not many customers in the store at the moment, Xu Zhuo asked everyone to sit and play outside, while he went back to the back kitchen to continue working.

In the morning, he had a big appetite competition and used up all the stewed noodles in the store. While he was not busy now, he had to order some noodles quickly, so as not to sell out the oily noodles again at night.

During the intermission of making noodles, Xu Zhuo took out a dozen catties of mutton brisket from the freezer and defrosted it in the back kitchen.

He planned to stew the mutton after making the stewed noodles, and try to make a bowl of mutton according to his own understanding. He didn't want perfection, but at least grasped the steps of the method first.

Then let everyone try it, find out the shortcomings, and invite Feng Chunguang to come over when it is about the same time, and complete the random task.

The so-called mutton belly meat is the meat on the belly of the sheep, and it is also the only pork belly on the sheep.

Lamb belly meat is fat and thin, with distinct layers, and it is the first choice for making water basin mutton.

Ningxia Tan sheep is the most important material for water basin mutton, but now the quality of Tan sheep varies, so it is more safe to use Ximeng mutton.

Moreover, compared with Tan mutton, which is thinner and less fat, Ximeng mutton is half fat and thin, which is more suitable for stewing.

Xu Zhuo has a general idea of ​​how to make water basin mutton, but he has no idea whether it can be done well.

He doesn't have any doubts about making mutton soup with mutton steamed buns or mutton stewed noodles. After all, there is a large pot of white and thick mutton soup in the store, so there is no pressure to make these related foods.

But this mutton soup can't be used on water basin mutton, because water basin mutton pays attention to clear soup, rotten meat, fat but not greasy, mellow and delicious, with unique flavor.

The reason why there is such an obvious difference is that the water basin mutton is a food eaten in summer. If you use thick soup, it will not only taste greasy, but also easy to get angry.

Speaking of this dish, Xu Zhuo really admired the chefs in the Guanzhong Plain back then. They were able to make warm mutton into a summer delicacy, and it has been passed down to this day. It is simply incredible.

Of course, up to now, the water basin mutton has long since lost its seasonal restrictions.

Whether it is winter or summer, the old Shaanxi people cannot do without the nourishment of the mutton in the water basin.

No matter how tired you are, as long as you come to a bowl of mutton in a water basin, you will be full of energy and vitality.

The mutton in the cold storage is not frozen solid, it belongs to the category of soft freezing, and it will thaw after taking it out to dry for a while.

Xu Zhuo soaked the thawed mutton in cold water, which could remove the blood in the meat, and the mutton would not have a fishy smell, and the broth would not be cloudy.

After soaking the mutton in the water, Xu Zhuo went to prepare the spices needed to stew the mutton. He didn't know what to put in and what proportion. Anyway, Xu Zhuo grabbed some of the spices in the store.

After doing all this, Xu Zhuo continued kneading the noodles.While he was busy, Jianguo walked in with his head bowed, with a look of frustration on his face.

"What's wrong? She rejected you?"

Jianguo shook his head: "No, she agreed."

"Then why aren't you happy?"

Jianguo's face was full of silence: "She wants to take her boyfriend with her."

Chapter 296 You are such a clever little ghost

After finishing speaking, Jianguo stuffed the car keys and the 1 yuan into Xu Zhuo's hands, and went to prepare side dishes with the helpers.

Xu Zhuo stood where he was, completely unaware of such a situation.

He strolled outside, put the car keys at the front desk, and returned the 1 yuan to Zheng Jia.

"What's the matter? Why didn't you two even find out whether she has a boyfriend?"

Xu Zhuo looked at Sun Panpan and Yu Keke, feeling a little helpless. Everyone worked hard for a long time, and even gave Jianguo a brainwash, but in the end he had a boyfriend.

What a waste of time!

Yu Keke muttered in a low voice: "When I asked just now, sister Xiaoying said she was single. I was also very surprised why a boyfriend suddenly appeared."

Sun Panpan has more experience with this kind of thing: "There is a high probability that I don't like Brother Jianguo, and it saves him from messing around, so I just use the boyfriend as an excuse to reject him."

If that's the case, it's a polite and elegant refusal.

Xu Zhuo sighed, just refuse if you refuse, the gap is indeed a bit big.

It's just that if he knew this, he wouldn't push Jianguo to ask Miss Tang.

Others may take it as a joke or a joke, and let it pass with a laugh, but I don't know what impact this incident will have on Jianguo.

Xu Zhuo warned everyone not to mention this matter in front of Jianguo, so he entered the back kitchen to comfort Jianguo.

In the end, when he came to the back kitchen, Xu Zhuo found that Jianguo, who had been depressed before, had returned to his previous state. He was busy cutting vegetables while directing everyone to work, completely gone from the ashamed look just now.

what's the situation?This is over?

Xu Zhuo touched Jianguo: "Are you okay?"

Jianguo smiled: "What can I do, isn't it just that I was rejected by others, and being rejected by others shows that I am not capable enough, so I will continue to work hard."

"By the way, Xu Zhuo, when will your grandpa come over? I can't wait for his old man to teach me how to cook."

My day, what's the situation?

Why did this guy become so active after being hit, which made Boss Xu a little uncomfortable.

He was still looking forward to letting the old man stay in the provincial capital for a few more days, but the old man didn't urge him to pick him up, Jianguo couldn't wait.

Thinking back on his decadent years, Boss Xu suddenly realized a problem. Could it be that the reason why he was so decadent was that he had never been rejected by a girl?

If he had known this earlier, he should have tried it.

But now with the rich woman Yu, Boss Xu completely lost this opportunity.

After thinking about it, Xu Zhuo said to Jianguo, "I'll pick it up the day after tomorrow. Are you... all right?"

Jianguo smiled and waved his hands: "It's really okay, it's not easy to chase after one chase, good things take a long time."

Since he was fine, Xu Zhuo felt relieved.

After kneading the remaining stewed noodles, Xu Zhuo started to cook the mutton.

In order not to overturn the car, Xu Zhuo went out and asked Li Hao what the authentic water basin mutton tastes like.

As an authentic Lao Shan, Li Hao has also studied the water basin mutton in the eight classics.

"The mutton in the water basin was originally made to make people eat it to remove dampness, so you must put more peppercorns. It would be better if there are green peppercorns. Put a bunch of green peppercorns when it is about to come out of the pot. The taste is really bad. explain!"

Then, he talked a lot more eloquently, and even explained clearly the difference between water basin mutton and mutton steamed buns.

After Li Hao finished speaking, Meng Liwei looked at him in surprise: "You have studied food so deeply, yet you were able to be admitted to medical school. It's amazing!"

All over the country, the admission scores for medical majors are not low, and those who can be admitted to medical schools are almost all top students.

As a foodie, Li Hao didn't stop studying, which is really not easy.

Relatively speaking, the programming college that Meng Liwei and Xu Zhuo attended belonged to the kind of three colleges that they could go to with money.

There is absolutely no comparison with medical school.

"It was really good when I was in high school, but after I went to college, it showed my true colors. Now I don't even go to class, and I start skipping classes just after school starts. It's just lawless!"

When several people were praising Li Hao, a middle-aged man's voice suddenly came from the door. Xu Zhuo turned his face and found that it was Ma Zhiqiang, who was looking at Li Hao with an angry face.

Obviously, Li Hao's behavior of skipping class today made Lao Ma very upset.

Li Hao leaned over and was about to get close, when Ma Zhiqiang said, "You failed the make-up exam last semester. If you don't go to class well, you will have to fail my professional class this semester."

Xu Zhuo hurried over to smooth things over: "Mr. Ma, don't scare him. I'll talk to him more. You still have to go to class, but you have to eat. I'm busy making lamb in the back kitchen. Let's eat this."

Originally, Ma Zhiqiang planned to continue to train Li Hao, but this guy skipped class in the morning and skipped class, but he didn't expect to skip it in the afternoon, which made everyone feel uncomfortable.

So he found him right after class, planning to teach him well.

Li Hao is a smart kid, and many cases are clear at a glance. Ma Zhiqiang likes this student very much.

As a result, since he learned about Sifang Pavilion last semester, he didn't go to class properly, which made Lao Ma very angry.

But as soon as Xu Zhuo said the water basin mutton, Ma Zhiqiang subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

A few days ago, someone in the staff group recommended the TV series "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an". Ma Zhiqiang tried to watch an episode with the intention of killing time, but became addicted after watching it.

The scene of starring in the water basin mutton in it stimulated Lao Ma so much that he deliberately found a few shops selling water basin mutton in Linping City to taste it.

In the end, except for the fans, there were only two or three pieces of meat, which didn't have the gluttonous weight and luster in the TV series at all.

Just when he thought he couldn't eat water basin mutton, he didn't expect that Xu Zhuo planned to cook it in the shop.

Ma Zhiqiang was overjoyed all of a sudden, but thinking about his identity as a teacher, he reservedly coughed twice: "This...isn't it appropriate?"

"Why isn't it suitable? It's very suitable. The reason why I skipped class today is to let Boss Xu cook a pot of mutton, so that you can have a good time. Teacher Ma, I'll go back with you. How about we come to eat the pot tonight? ? This is something I specially asked Boss Xu to prepare for you."

Tsk tsk, you are such a clever little ghost.

Xu Zhuo was really convinced by Li Hao's mouth, and everything was his credit.

But friends, you can say whatever you want.

After Li Hao left with Ma Zhiqiang, Xu Zhuo came to the back kitchen and started stewing mutton.

At first it was just a try, but now it has become impossible.

Take the mutton out of the water, wash it several times, then put it in a pot under cold water, add cooking wine, green onion and ginger to blanch.

After blanching, Xu Zhuo rinsed the mutton again, put it in the pot under cold water again, then put it in the material bag, and started to simmer on high heat.

Xu Zhuo was not idle while the meat was being cooked, he found yeast powder and started kneading the dough, planning to make the partner of the water basin mutton - crescent moon cake.
