Food starts with noodles

On the day I made the water basin mutton, I was so happy that I forgot about Feng Chunguang.

But since I remembered it today, and got the skill of mutton oil chili, I should also do the side mission of the water basin mutton.

Save yourself busy with other things and forget about this.

And after doing Feng Chunguang's task, the knife-sliced ​​noodles also have a clue.

After learning to sharpen, the knife skills should rise again, and strive to learn all the twelve techniques of knife skills, so that the knife skills can be mastered from proficiency as soon as possible.

Parking the car to the side of the road, Xu Zhuo got out of the car and walked to Feng Chunguang, and gave him a light push: "Boss Feng, wake up, do you want to eat water basin mutton?"

As soon as the water basin mutton was mentioned, Feng Chunguang suddenly woke up.

"Bath of mutton? You know how to cook it now?"

Xu Zhuo smiled: "It's not very difficult. I made it once two days ago. It tastes very good. If you want to eat it, I'll make it again in the afternoon. You can eat it at five or six o'clock."

Feng Chunguang subconsciously swallowed his saliva: "Okay, then I'll eat there in the afternoon. It happens that my wife is working overtime tonight, so I can have a good meal."

Back at the noodle shop, Xu Zhuo was just about to go to the back kitchen to make mutton oil chili, when he suddenly saw everyone gathering near the front desk, as if they were watching some program.

When Xu Zhuo walked over, he realized that Zhou Wen was holding a tablet computer, letting everyone watch the commercials of Sifang Pavilion.

In the past few days, Zhou Wen and a group of people from the film association have been working overtime, and now they have finally finished the video, and in order to facilitate the promotion in the store, they made several versions of the commercial at once.

The first is the 30-second pre-screening advertisement in the theater. Because the time is too short, there is only the part of making noodles, but the close-up shot of hot oil pouring on the oil-splashed noodles, plus the sizzling sound when the hot oil touches the chili powder, it is very interesting to watch. Xu Zhuo was suddenly hungry.

At the end of the advertisement, there is the slogan of Sifang Restaurant: "Be the best in every bowl of noodles!"

What followed was a photo of the entrance of the Sifang Restaurant, as well as information such as the address of the store and the phone number of the front desk during business hours.

In this commercial, Zhou Wen gave up the mode of explaining everything but not explaining clearly, and switched to a series of realistic shots from kneading the noodles to cooking the noodles and finally pouring oil on them.

Finally, at the moment when the oil was poured, the entire commercial seemed to be sublimated, which instantly aroused everyone's appetite.

Even the old man praised Zhou Wen's close-up shot, it was indeed very attractive.

Chapter 315 Honey Pear Ball

After watching the pre-screening advertisement, Zhou Wen then played another 1-minute commercial, which can be placed on Tencent Video and other related players as a pre-screening advertisement for online videos.

Thanks to the popularization of big data, the current advertisements can also be placed according to the region, and more accurately target the customer group, and the advertising effect will be better.

In addition, it can also be placed on some large screens in the urban area for publicity.

Then there is a 5-minute promo and a 10-minute documentary.

In the documentary, Zhou Wen used a one-shot shooting method to film the process of a bag of flour from being moved into the noodle shop to being kneaded and cooked, and finally brought to the customer.

Of course, this kind of technical requirements are relatively high, and some of the shots in it are posed, but the effect is quite good.

After watching all the videos, Xu Zhuo smacked his lips: "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

Not only was he hungry, but the others also felt as if they had watched an episode of Tongue Tongue, even if they had just eaten, they wanted to eat something to fill their stomachs.

"I saw that some pears were about to go bad this morning, so I made honey pear balls for them to eat..." The old man glanced at Xu Zhuo, and calmly talked about the meals he made this morning.

In addition to pear balls in honey sauce, the old man also made traditional Shandong dishes such as grilled lamb, bagged chicken, pot-roasted duck, fish with green onion and pepper, and Mushu meat.

Xu Zhuo was already very hungry after watching the video, but now when he heard the old man talking about the names of these dishes slowly, he was even more hungry.

"Grandpa, don't talk about it, just talk about what is left now?"

The old man smiled: "There is nothing left, and that boy Li Hao ate it all up. Didn't you go out to eat delicious food? You probably don't like these home-cooked dishes."

Well, the old man has a problem with going out for a drive.

Isn't it just being lazy, as for being so serious?

People say that they are intergenerational relatives, but with the old man, Boss Xu has never felt the warmth of family affection. Instead, every time... Forget it, if you talk too much, you will cry.

He walked towards the kitchen, since he had nothing to eat, he would cook for himself.

It just so happened that it was almost time to stew the mutton, and then make some crescent moon cakes, boil some mutton oil chili, such a delicious meal, not much inferior to the meal they ate at noon.

While comforting himself, Xu Zhuo started to cook the mutton brisket.

Just when the mutton was cooked and ready to be kneaded, Yu Keke suddenly came to the kitchen with a small bowl of food, walked up to Xu Zhuo, took out a round ball from the bowl, and handed it over.

"Try it, it's delicious."

Xu Zhuo didn't care too much, thinking that the girl ordered rice wine glutinous rice balls for takeaway.

But when he ate it in his mouth, he couldn't help but tremble all over: "This...is this honey pear ball? Who made it?"

Pear balls in honey sauce is a traditional famous product of Shandong cuisine. It looks similar to radish balls, but it tastes like pears.

Moreover, this dish has a particularly good hangover effect, and it also has the effects of moistening the lungs and relieving coughs, and is especially suitable for eating in autumn.

Xu Zhuo knew how to make honey pear balls a long time ago. The pears are peeled and cored, cut into thin shreds, and then egg white, starch, and flour are added and mixed thoroughly to make balls.

Put the pear balls into a 5% hot oil pan and deep-fry until golden brown, remove and control the oil, then fry the sugar color, add water, sugar, and pear balls over low heat to collect the juice, and add honey when it thickens.

Finally, pour some bright oil on the plate, sprinkle with sweet-scented osmanthus, and a pear ball with honey sauce is ready.

But knowing is knowing, but actually doing it is not easy at all.

For example, when frying, the requirements for the heat are relatively high.

The oil should not be too hot. If it is too hot, it will easily cause the inside to be cooked, or the pear balls will be fried.

However, the oil temperature should not be too low. If the oil temperature is low, the fried pear balls will not only look ugly, but also soak in a lot of oil, which will affect the taste.

Boss Xu has been craving honey pear balls for a long time. When the old man said just now, he was secretly swallowing his saliva, regretting that he should not go for a drive and missed such a classic delicacy.

Unexpectedly, the little girl brought a small bowl to eat. Could it be that the old man was teasing himself just now?

While thinking about it, Yu Keke picked up another pear ball and fed it to Xu Zhuo.

This pear ball was cooked perfectly, not only fried just right, but also rosy in appearance, thick but clear soup, absolutely the best.

Moreover, after the pear ball is in the mouth, it tastes sweet, but not too sweet. The old man's craftsmanship is really superb.

He ate another pear ball with honey sauce, which was refreshing and delicious!

But this stuff does not stop hunger, Xu Zhuo ate several in a row, but after eating, not only did he not feel full, on the contrary he made him even hungrier.

"Is there anything else to eat? This small bowl of honey pear balls is not enough." Boss Xu saw that the honey sauce pear balls in the small bowl were about to bottom out, so he was embarrassed to eat any more.

The little girl smiled and pointed to the outside: "There is a table of vegetables outside, all the dishes your grandfather mentioned just now are there, and you just rushed into the kitchen without paying attention."

Xu Zhuo froze for a moment, is this really the case?

When he came out of the kitchen, he saw the old man and Jianguo Zhou Wen sitting on a seat by the window. On the table were the famous Lu dishes such as the old man's grilled mutton, bagged chicken, and pot-roasted duck.

However, there were only a small half of each of these dishes left, Zhou Wen handed Xu Zhuo a pair of chopsticks: "We left a little of each dish for you before we ate at noon, but you didn't notice it at all when you came in. I thought you weren't hungry."

Boss Xu didn't speak, just lowered his head and started eating with chopsticks.

The old man knocked on the table: "It's fine to go out and play, but don't be complacent just because the business has just started to improve. You have to know that there is no end to learning. In the cooking industry, no one has ever really reached the top, so take advantage of the hardships while you are young." , It’s the right way to think more about cooking.”

In the past few days, Boss Xu has been a little impetuous. Others are embarrassed to talk about him, but the old man will not sit idly by.

Xu Zhuo also knew what the old man meant. He really relied too much on the system recently. He relied on the system to learn all skills and techniques, and he didn't work hard at all.

For others, it may be nothing, as long as the money is enough to spend.

But to Boss Xu, the old man's words were like a slap in the face. After all, he planned to buy a courtyard house within ten years.

However, based on Boss Xu's current attitude, let alone buying a courtyard house at that time, it is estimated that even a two-bedroom apartment in the capital will not be able to afford it.

After eating the dishes on the table, Xu Zhuo got up and went to the kitchen to knead the dough and prepare to make crescent moon cakes.

The old man suddenly followed: "Xiaozhuo, do you want to learn honey pear ball?"

Xu Zhuo froze for a moment, then nodded, "Think about it, is it difficult?"

The old man smiled: "As long as you study hard, any dish is not difficult."

Chapter 316 Making Sheep Oil Chili

Xu Zhuo pointed to the washbasin: "After I finish the crescent moon cakes, I'll make some mutton oil chili. After I'm done, I'll learn how to make pear balls with honey sauce."

The old man is not in a hurry to teach Xu Zhuo, all he wants is Xu Zhuo's serious attitude.

Xu Zhuo has become more and more impetuous these days, the old man had no choice but to beat him, it would be a pity if such a good talent goes to waste.

After Xu Zhuo put on his hair, he brought half a box of sheep oil from the cold storage.

This mutton oil shop is usually not used, only a few catties are put in when boiling mutton soup, so that the mutton soup tastes more fragrant.

First put the suet oil in a basin and clean it, clean the blood clots on it, and then cut it into small pieces for later use.

Then start to prepare the ingredients for making mutton chili.

The first is coarse chili powder. Two kinds of chili powder are used for delicious suet chili, one is Ervitex chili powder, the other is bullet chili powder, or other types of chili peppers are also fine.

These two kinds of coarse chili powder are spicy and fragrant, and the ratio is one to one. The lamb oil chili produced in this way will be more delicious.

In addition to chili powder, onion, ginger, fragrant leaves and star anise peppercorns are all needed. You don’t need too much, as long as you can remove the fishy smell from the boiled suet.

In addition, about half a catty of raw sesame seeds, a little peanut oil and a little white wine are needed.

Unlike chili oil, there are no condiments in the mutton oil chili, so you don't have to worry about putting too much mutton oil chili in the bowl and it will be very salty.

Many mutton-related delicacies are seasoned when eating, so as to maintain the freshness of mutton to the maximum extent.

The same goes for mutton chili.

After everything was ready, Xu Zhuo began to boil sheep oil.

The steps of boiling mutton oil are very similar to those of lard. Put the cut fat into the pot, add a bowl of water and boil it.

After boiling out the suet oil, turn off the heat, and use a spatula to press the fat pieces that have changed color, so that the oil will come out more conveniently.

Xu Zhuo was not idle while boiling the mutton oil. He stirred the two kinds of chili powder in a basin, then poured some pure water, then poured some white wine, and continued to stir with chopsticks until the chili powder became damp. Just look like that.

In this way, when the mutton oil is poured on it later, the chili powder will not change color, and the peppers are a little wet and it is easier to fry the capsaicin in the peppers, making the made mutton oil peppers more ruddy and spicy.

After the mutton oil was boiled, Xu Zhuo carefully used a colander to remove all the oil residue inside. It didn't matter if some fine oil residue remained in the pot, it would be more fragrant when mixed with the mutton oil chili.

Then Xu Zhuo poured about a catty of peanut oil into the sheep oil.

The purpose of this is to facilitate the use. The mutton oil pepper will solidify after cooling, and it is inconvenient to handle when taking it with a spoon.

But if you add some peanut oil, even if the mutton oil chili is solidified, it will become very soft, and you can dig it out with a spoon.

When the oil in the pot boiled again, Xu Zhuo threw the scallions, ginger and star anise, fragrant leaves and peppercorns into it, and fried them slowly over low heat until the scallions and ginger were fried until golden brown before taking them out.

Then turn off the fire, and after cooling down a bit, Xu Zhuo poured the half catty of raw sesame seeds into the sheep oil.

Immediately, the smell of suet and sesame mixed together, making Xu Zhuo who was full just now feel a little hungry again.

After frying like this for about 2 minutes, the sesame seeds have been thoroughly fried, and when the temperature of the sheep oil has dropped slightly, Xu Zhuo picked up the oil pan and poured the sheep oil in the pan three times on top of the chili powder. in the basin.

When all the mutton oil was poured into the basin, the whole kitchen smelled spicy, and even the old man couldn't help but praise Xu Zhuo: "This mutton oil chili is made really well, and the smell makes people greedy."

Xu Zhuo put the pot of mutton oil chilli aside to cool down, and after seeing that the noodles were almost done, he started making moon moon cakes.

At six o'clock in the evening, dinner began in the store.

Bowls of mutton came out of the kitchen, together with the pot full of mutton oil and chili, Feng Chunguang swallowed his saliva.

"When I asked you if you would do it before, you were still modest and said to try it. I didn't expect you to be so authentic in making water basins. The water basins in our hometown are at most like this. It's really greedy."

Xu Zhuo smiled and pointed to the full basket of crescent moon cakes and said, "Boss Feng, don't be too polite. Eat it while it's hot. The crescent moon cakes don't taste good when they're cold."

Feng Chunguang smiled, took the crescent moon cake, opened it skillfully, put the mutton in the bowl with Xu Zhuo's chili rings and garlic slices into it, opened his mouth to take a big bite, and his Shaanxi dialect burst out immediately.

"Well, this tastes delicious! Your craftsmanship is amazing!"

Xu Zhuo smiled, and also took the crescent moon cake and began to eat it with mutton sandwiched in it.

Just when Feng Chunguang took his first bite, Xu Zhuo saw in the task panel that the sub-quest about the water basin mutton had been completed.

But when the reward will come, it is not certain.
