Food starts with noodles

Now with white-cut chicken, it can satisfy the needs of customers who like to drink.

"Xiao Zhuo, why are you basking in the sun here? Today is five, I have to ask the God of Wealth, hurry up, don't lie here like an old man..."

When Xu Zhuo was leaning on the chair at the door with his mobile phone to watch Zheng Guangyao cook, Feng Weiguo hurried over and urged Xu Zhuo to invite the God of Wealth.

The fifth day of the Lunar New Year is also called Po Wu, and there are many specialties on this day.

For example, to invite the God of Wealth, to send the poor, to open the market, to set off firecrackers, to eat dumplings... Well, the Spring Festival for northerners is almost always related to dumplings.

Eat dumplings on New Year's Eve, dumplings on the first day of the new year, and dumplings on the fifth day.

Anyway, Chinese New Year is a festival to find reasons to eat delicious food.

Because setting off fireworks and firecrackers is prohibited in the whole city, Xu Zhuo really didn't notice that today is already the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

He put down his phone and came to the store with Feng Weiguo.

The statue of the God of Wealth had been set up two days ago, with offerings such as apples and bananas.

"Go and wash your hands, please the God of Wealth to be sincere and not careless. What time is it, the God of Wealth has already been invited home, and you haven't even started yet..."

Xu Zhuo smiled and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.

Chinese people are really interesting. Although they have always used the idea of ​​the mean to demand themselves, when it comes to certain things, they always like to be the first.

When burning incense, you have to grab the first stick of incense, and when you invite the God of Wealth, you have to fight for the first come, first served.

It is said that to invite the God of Wealth to go to the Temple of the God of Wealth in the temple to invite him, not only need to put various sacrifices, but also need three worships and nine kowtows to express one's sincerity.

But Xu Zhuo didn't pay much attention to it.

After washing his hands, he grabbed a handful of incense and lit it, bowed to the statue of the God of Wealth, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner in front of the statue of the God of Wealth, and it was over.

For him, it's a process.

If the old man hadn't called to ask for it, he wouldn't have placed the statue of the God of Wealth at all.

Whether you can make money or not is compared to your skills, not your closeness to the God of Wealth.

"You have to send the poor first, you child, you are not sincere at all!"

The so-called sending the poor is cleaning.

According to the old tradition, from the first day of junior high school, cleaning is not allowed at home.

Especially in rural courtyards, the red paper for firecrackers cannot be swept away until the fifth day of the lunar new year.

After cleaning the house, it is equivalent to driving away the god of poverty, so that the god of wealth will come in.

However, the store is cleaned several times a day, and there is no place that needs to be cleaned at all.

Xu Zhuo took the broom and waved it casually twice, which seemed to have made up for the steps of getting poor.

Such perfunctory, Feng Weiguo couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.

He said something nagging to Xu Zhuo, and then said, "Since we have invited the God of Wealth, let's prepare to make dumplings. What fillings do you want to eat today?"

"Vegetarian stuffing, I'm a bit tired of eating meat dumplings. By the way, where is Shi Lei? Why didn't he come over?"

For the past two days, Shi Lei and Feng Weiguo have been inseparable.

There was no one today.

"Shi Lei followed Jianguo and the others to the Guandi Temple to play. He doesn't look like you. He lives in the shop every day. He looks more like an old man than me..."

After Feng Weiguo finished speaking, he went to the kitchen to prepare dumplings.

Xu Zhuo had nothing to do, thinking of the skill of cutting chicken for nothing that he had just acquired.

How about... make a chicken and try it?

In the past few days, I have not mentioned the big fish and meat, and I really want to eat some refreshing dishes.

But I don't want to be too vegetarian.

Therefore, white-cut chicken just meets my requirements.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhuo said to Feng Weiguo: "Grandpa Feng, you go ahead, I went to the vegetable market to buy a chicken, I just watched some videos of sitting on white-cut chicken, and I want to try it."

Feng Weiguo didn't expect Xu Zhuo to love learning so much, so he said happily, "All right, all right, go, I'll do the making of dumplings."

Xu Zhuo didn't drive because it's not easy to park at the vegetable market.

Moreover, if you drive a Mercedes-Benz to buy vegetables, the store will raise the price by [-]% for no reason.

It's better to keep a low profile.

He scanned a shared electric car at the door with his mobile phone, and went straight to the vegetable market slowly.

The weather is fine today, and there are many people visiting the vegetable market.

Well, the leftovers on New Year's Eve are finally finished, and I can finally come over and buy some fresh vegetables.

Almost all the stores in the vegetable market were open today, Xu Zhuo slowed down, and rode his electric scooter through the crowd, slowly strolling towards the area selling live poultry and aquatic products.

While walking, I suddenly smelled an attractive fragrance.

Xu Zhuo turned his face and saw that Hu Dabao's sesame oil shop was open for business, and the couple was busy making sesame oil at the moment.

People make sesame oil with closed doors. After all, cooking oil needs to be mixed into it, and no one can see it.

But Hu Dabao and his wife did the opposite, not only opening the door, but even placing the machine at the door.

There is an attitude that is open for you to test each step.

There are indeed a lot of onlookers, but not many people buy sesame oil.

"Hey, Xu Zhuo, are you here to buy vegetables? If you want anything, let my wife buy it for you."

After seeing Xu Zhuo, Hu Dabao hurried over to say hello.

Xu Zhuo smiled: "No, no, you're busy with your work, I'll go around casually, how is business today?"

Hu Dabao had a sad face: "It hasn't opened yet, and there are quite a few people watching it, but when I asked about the price, there was nothing to say."

The rent for the vegetable market was paid once a month, and it was time to pay the rent soon. The couple planned to try again. If it didn’t work, they would move out as Xu Zhuo said, and focus on supplying Chen Guifang and Yao Meixiang.

Anyway, with Xu Zhuo here, there is no need to worry about sales.

It's not like now, when you keep saying good things to people, but no one really pays for it.

It's really hard to do business now.

Xu Zhuo looked at Hu Dabao and asked, "Have you found a place to make sesame oil?"

Hu Dabao shook his head, this thing needs to be fried, and there needs to be a place to put smoke, the urban area is suitable for it, it is best to go to the suburbs to make it.

But the suburbs are a bit far away, so the couple are a little confused about where to move.

Xu Zhuo smiled and said, "Don't rush to move, I'll find you a safe and safe place in two days..."

Chapter 590 He is the God of Wealth

In Yao Meixiang's pickle garden, there are several vacant houses, and there is also a lot of open space in the yard.

Since Hu Dabao has nowhere to go, he might as well move there.

It just so happened that it was very lively over there, and the couple would not have no one to talk to.

Moreover, the forest park is not far from the city. If you ride an electric car, you can get there in 10 to [-] minutes at most, and there are also buses, so you don’t have to worry about traffic problems even in rainy days.

More importantly, let Hu Dabao make sesame oil under Yao Meixiang's nose, and also prevent him from adulterating the sesame oil in a wrong way in the future.

One drop of incense is very popular now, Xu Zhuo does not want to have this kind of additive in the sesame oil under his own banner.

"When my godmother comes back from Rongcheng in two days, I'll take you to her pickle garden. There are vacant houses there. The yard is as big as three basketball courts, and there is no rent, water and electricity. You can do whatever you want."

Hu Dabao's heart was moved as soon as he heard it, and he wished he could move there now.

Don't rent water and electricity, this condition is really good.

Moreover, the scenery in the forest park is also good, and you can enjoy the beautiful scenery while working, which is much better than in this dirty and messy vegetable market.

He rubbed his hands excitedly: "That's not good... When your godmother comes, let's discuss this matter carefully. We can pay as much as we should, and we can't always take advantage of you."

Xu Zhuo smiled: "It's all my own, easy to say."

After a few more words, there were more and more people in the vegetable market, and many people gathered around the door of Hu Dabao's store to buy sesame oil. Xu Zhuo worried that Hu Dabao's wife would not be able to do it alone, so he let him go in and get busy.

Boss Xu continued to wander around the vegetable market on his electric scooter.

In the past, when you wanted to eat vegetables, you had to follow the farming time, but now, as long as you have money, you can buy any vegetables.

Krypton gold Dafa is good.

Xu Zhuo sighed while walking.

In the sesame oil shop, Hu Dabao's wife was busy pouring the fried sesame seeds into the hood. When she saw the bare wall in the southeast corner, she remembered that she hadn't invited the God of Wealth today.

"Dabao, don't be too busy, hurry up and invite the God of Wealth, I said why there is no business today, it must be because we didn't invite the God of Wealth."

Because Hu Dabao disposed of all the sesame oil and sesame paste in stock on New Year's Eve, his status in the family was obviously higher, and his speech became more rigid.

"Please God of Wealth, didn't our God of Wealth come here on an electric bike just now?"

His wife didn't respond: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Hu Dabao smiled: "Gods and ghosts are all fake, whoever makes me earn money is my Hu Dabao's God of Wealth."

Only now did his wife understand what it meant. She glanced at the direction Xu Zhuo was leaving, and raised her hand to hit her man on the head.

"Xu Zhuo is such a good person, just because you scolded him before, you are not afraid of breaking your conscience."

Hu Dabao coughed twice: "I didn't know each other at that time. By the way, when the sesame oil is made, I'll go and give some to Cui Yong, Dajiang and Fatty. If you're on your own, you need to move around more."

The couple chatted while they were busy.

There is a rush in life, and I feel that I have endless energy.

In the live poultry and aquatic production area, Xu Zhuo chose a tender rooster that was raised in a free-range farm.

After asking the store owner to help butcher it, he put it in a plastic bag, Xu Zhuo stuffed it into the front basket of the electric car, and rode back to the store on a stroll.

I was delayed by Hu Dabao for a while, so when I returned to the store, Feng Weiguo had not only reconciled the noodles, but also mixed the dumpling stuffing.

Now I am preparing to roll the skin and plan to make dumplings.

Xu Zhuo cut off the toes of the chicken, cleaned it carefully inside and out, then started to boil water, folded the chicken feet into the belly of the chicken, and prepared to make white-cut chicken.

The skills he obtained were obviously not copied from Zheng Guangyao, because this method is a little more complicated than Zheng Guangyao's white-cut chicken.

Zheng Guangyao's method only needs to boil a pot of water.

As for the skills given to Xu Zhuo by the system, he needed to boil two pots of water.

The first pot of water is used to scald the chicken, which can be regarded as blanching the chicken, and the second pot of water is used to soak the chicken.

But Xu Zhuo understands quite well. After all, the breeds of chickens are different, and the growing environment of chickens in the south is also very different from that in the north, so there must be differences in the methods.

There is no need to add anything to the first pot of water, but you need to prepare a pot of cold water.

It's freezing cold now, so cold water is good to prepare.

After the water in the pot boiled, Xu Zhuo grabbed the chicken head and put it into the pot, submerging the whole body of the chicken in the boiling water.

After ten seconds, take the chicken out, pour out the hot water remaining in the stomach, and soak it in cold water for ten seconds.

Then take it out and put it in boiling water again, and soak it three times.

The water in the pot immediately became a little cloudy, and it also gave off a somewhat unpleasant smell.

Xu Zhuo is very clear about this point. During the alternation of cold and heat, the dirt and impurities hidden in the chicken skin will be cleaned out, and the impurities in the chicken belly will also be scalded out.

In addition, after such alternating hot and cold, the chicken skin will become very firm.

Not only can it increase the taste, but the chicken skin is not easy to be boiled when it is soaked.

Next, Xu Zhuo poured out the water, cleaned the pot, and put another pot of water on the stove.

Throw in a few slices of ginger, some scallions, and some cooking wine.

At the same time, a large spoonful of salt should be sprinkled in, which can add a little flavor to the chicken.
