Food starts with noodles

After pressing the cooking button, Xu Zhuo put the frying pan on the stove, turned on the fire, and poured the bottle of soy sauce that Mama Cao gave yesterday into the pan.

Then throw a few bay leaves and pepper star anise into it, and cook slowly over low heat.

When it first started to boil, an unpleasant smell of raw sauce filled the slow kitchen, even if the range hood was turned on, it didn't work.

But after simmering for a while, this taste is replaced by the smell of sauce.

Xu Zhuo added a large spoonful of sugar to the pot, and when the soy sauce in the pot was slightly viscous, he turned off the heat and poured it out.

This is the copy soy sauce commonly used in Sichuan cuisine. The method is very simple, and the ingredients can be placed freely.

After finishing these tasks, Xu Zhuo strolled out to watch a movie.

After the rice cooker jumped, Xu Zhuo went back to the kitchen, lifted the lid of the rice cooker, and a tempting aroma wafted out. The smell of meat was mixed with the smell of rice. The stewed rice tasted really good.

But the stewed rice is not edible yet, so we have to wait a little longer.

Xu Zhuo poured the prepared copy soy sauce into the pot, and stirred it with a spatula. The white rice in the pot suddenly became much more oily, and the color became more attractive, like broth bibimbap Same.

Press the stirred rice, put the lid on the pot again, and then Xu Zhuo pressed the cooking button.

When the cooking button jumps again, the bacon stewed rice is ready to eat.

Xu Zhuo called Yao Meixiang: "Godmother, the bacon stewed rice will be ready soon, will you come back with my godfather for dinner?"

Yao Meixiang's voice came from the phone: "What? It's done now? Then let's go home right away."

Apparently, Yao Meixiang has been thinking about this since Xu Zhuo said yesterday that he was going to cook braised rice with bacon.

Now that Wei Junming came back, Xu Zhuo cooked another piece of bacon, and then cut some bamboo shoots. Later, he asked Wei Junming to cook fried bacon with bamboo shoots and braised rice with bacon. It should taste good.

Back in the living room, Xu Zhuo continued to watch the movie. This parasite was really well filmed. The two classes with clear barriers need each other.

The poor need to be attached to the rich's family so as not to starve, and the rich's family will be in order because of the existence of the poor.

The poor have always wanted to be rich, but in the end they can only hide in the basement of the rich's house like a parasite.

This movie is really good, Xu Zhuo couldn't finish watching it, and he didn't come back to his senses until Wei Junming and Yao Meixiang went home.

He took out the cooked bacon from the pot, cleaned it, cut it into slices, and said to Wei Junming, "Come on godfather, it's time for you to show off your skills."

Stir-fried bamboo shoots with bacon is a dish that a Sichuan chef can cook with his eyes closed. Wei Junming originally planned to teach Xu Zhuo how to cook it, but Mr. Xu has already gone out to continue watching movies because he is addicted to movies.

Wei Junming sighed softly: "You have to learn cooking, how can you be a chef if you don't learn cooking?"

But I will return to the Central Plains soon, and the old man will be by Xu Zhuo's side all the time. He will definitely urge Xu Zhuo to study, and he can also go to the store to teach him when the time comes.

After the bacon is fried, everyone serves dinner.

Xu Zhuo brought out the prepared stewed rice bowl by bowl, then opened station B while eating, and entered Meng Liwei's live broadcast room.

The popularity of the live broadcast room is not very high. Although Zhou Wen has already promoted Meng Liwei in her live broadcast room, and even appeared on the screen during Meng Liwei's live broadcast, the effect is not very high.

Seeing the situation, Xu Zhuo said to himself, "No matter how advanced the technology is, you still need krypton gold at the critical moment."

After speaking, he clicked on the gift bar, and a small TV spaceship worth more than 1000 was sent out by him.

After the site-wide announcement was released, the popularity of the live broadcast room increased sharply.

However, Xu Zhuo was still not satisfied, and continued to krypton gold.

A small TV spaceship was rewarded every minute, and within 1 minutes, the popularity of the live broadcast exploded.

After he finished tipping, Yu Keke and Sun Panpan each donated five small TV spaceships, and then Li Hao and Zhou Wen each donated five small TV spaceships.

Next came a few programmers in Xu Zhuo's dormitory, still tipping the small TV spaceship.

Less than half an hour after the broadcast started, dozens of small TV spaceships were received, and fans of Xu Zhuo and Zhou Wen were also desperately swiping for rewards.

Meng Liwei's live broadcast room was soon on the front page.

"Wow, the live broadcast room is on the home page, and even climbed to No.3, that's amazing!" Yu Keke exclaimed, not expecting the data to be so good.

Sun Panpan looked at the data and couldn't help but said, "Sure enough, I answered that sentence, and I am invincible!"

Chapter 261 Farewell to Rongcheng

Boss Xu is not the only one in this world who has mastered the skill of krypton invincibility.

When Meng Liwei was rushing towards No. 2 in the rankings, several anchors who had been overtaken all exerted their strength and used rewards to push their popularity in the live broadcast room up.

Soon, Meng Liwei's live broadcast room fell to No.5.

"What should I do now? Do you want to swipe up again?"

Yu Keke started to recharge, feeling very upset when someone overtook him.

Xu Zhuo said with a smile: "Today I just made Meng Liwei familiar, and now I have overfulfilled the task, so let's do it, try not to offend anyone."

Yu Keke had a regretful expression on his face: "It's just a little bit close to reaching the top of the list. I'm really not reconciled."

She opened the group message, and other people were also talking about being surpassed.

Xu Zhuo said with a smile: "Our popularity is lower than others. Even if we rely on rewards for a short period of time, we are still kicked out by others. Today our rewards are mainly to make Meng Liwei popular, just like advertising , now that our task has been successfully completed, we should be happy, and besides, do you think the top spot is so easy?"

The top players on this live streaming platform all have an agreement with the official, and the number one position is not easy to shake. Although it is possible to surpass it if they spend hard money, it is also short-lived.

People modify the data in the background, overtake every minute, and it's useless to spend money on it.

Moreover, forcibly surpassing will only make people bear grudges. Fans who turned around came to pester and report. Although the live broadcast room will not be banned, it is also very uncomfortable.

So no need to fight.

The top spot is not indisputable, and when the opportunity arises in the future, it will definitely be there.

After Xu Zhuo patiently explained, the people in the group calmed down.

They continued to watch the live broadcast, while Xu Zhuo began to eat the bacon braised rice he made with peace of mind.

Except for soy sauce, this stewed rice has no seasoning added, but the taste is very delicious. The bacon melts in the mouth, the rice grains are distinct, and the oil is smooth. With just the right side dishes, people can't help but whet their appetite. .

Yao Meixiang ate three bowls in a row, and finally put down her chopsticks under Wei Junming's persuasion, but it was obvious that she hadn't enjoyed it yet: "I'll make stewed rice for dinner, it's so delicious..."

Wei Junming was also full of praise: "It's really unexpected that the taste of the food is so different just because of the difference in soy sauce."

After eating and drinking enough, Xu Zhuo entered the system and saw that the main task of braised rice with bacon had been completed, and he also successfully obtained the skill of bacon.

In winter, you can make some sausages to eat. As for the bacon, it’s too cumbersome to make, and it needs to be smoked. Sifang Restaurant does not have such conditions at all.

Meng Liwei's live broadcast on station B became an instant hit, and there were even discussions on Zhihu and Weibo about whether he was real or fake.

According to the current trend, as long as he doesn't spend three days fishing and two days drying the net like Zhou Wen, his income will definitely not be low, at least much better than his previous job as a security engineer.

Early the next morning, Zhou Wen bid farewell to everyone.

She plans to go back and make some movie commentary videos, such as the very famous "Parasite", Zhou Wen has watched it several times, and plans to go back and watch it twice, and analyze the success of this movie from a professional point of view And the social phenomenon reflected behind the movie.

After Zhou Wen left, Sun Panpan and Li Hao also bid farewell to everyone, but instead of going home, they planned to take a good tour of the country.

First go to Shancheng, try the butter hot pot over there, then go to Yangcheng, then go to Shanghai, and finally go to the first floor of Yangzhou to meet Yu Keke.

The first floor of Yangzhou is so famous, coupled with the relationship with Keke, it is necessary to taste the taste and feel the charm of Huaiyang cuisine.

The second day after they set off, Yu Keke received a call urging her to go home.

This girl went to Europe to play for half a month within a few days of her summer vacation, and then came to Rongcheng to stay for half a month after returning home. Now that the summer vacation is almost over, she hasn't been able to spend time with her family.

The old lady at home was very angry and ordered Yu Keke to go home immediately.

Originally, Yu Keke didn't plan to go back, but the old lady had already said that if she didn't go home, her living expenses would be cut off, which made Yu Keke lose her temper immediately.

Bought a plane ticket and returned to Yangzhou.

Next, Xu Zhuo and the others were also preparing to go back.

In order to facilitate the transportation of Yao Meixiang's kimchi jar, everyone tried their best.

Finally, they took the kimchi and kimchi water out of the jar, put them into airtight bags specially used for transporting live seafood and freshwater fish, and shipped them separately from the jar.

After all, it doesn't matter if the jar rots during transportation, but the pickle water can't be sprinkled on the way. Compared with the pickle jar, the pickle water is the essence.

Walking with the car were the trivial things that Yao Meixiang had packed up these days and the clothes that she was reluctant to throw away.

As for the furniture and appliances at home, Yao Meixiang gave all of them to Cao Kun. These furniture families are relatively new, so it would be a pity to sell them to scrap yards, so they happened to be given to Cao Mama.

After everything was cleaned up, Cao Kun got into the box and followed the car to the Central Plains.

Everything in this car is Yao Meixiang's treasure, so nothing can go wrong, and Cao Kun prefers the feeling of sitting in a car to flying.

Yao Meixiang went to the neighborhood committee to sign and hand over the house. At the same time, she also received money from the developer.

In addition, she and Wei Junming's house in the city center has also been sold, plus the money Yao Meixiang has saved over the years, there are nearly ten million cash in her account.

Before putting it aside, I couldn't believe it.

Even Zhang Fugui, who came to see him off, found it difficult: "When you got married, you even lent me your suit. Now that you have finally bid farewell to the poor days, I wish you both happiness and happiness."

He originally urged the two of them to try harder to see if they could conceive another child, but he held back after thinking about it.

Although some scars seem to have healed, it is best not to uncover the scars.

Moreover, the two of them treat Xu Zhuo very well now, and Xu Zhuo's performance makes them very satisfied, so whether they want to have a child or not is up to fate, and there is no need to impose some ideological pressure on the two of them.

Apart from Zhang Fugui, Zhang Zhengde's son Zhang Yuejin and Wei Junming's great apprentice Guan Shifu were among the people who came to see him off.

Master Guan is in his forties this year, and he is in the prime of life. Since he took up the post as the executive chef of Rongcheng Taste, he immediately carried out drastic reforms in the restaurant, and assessed the chefs in the back kitchen. Unqualified chefs were resolutely dismissed.

Boss Zeng's brother-in-law brought almost all the chefs brought by him, but Master Guan was not afraid, and he quickly called a group of juniors over.

Rongcheng Taste has gone back to the old road when Wei Junming was the boss.

Seeing Xu Zhuo this time, Master Guan also explained to Boss Xu sincerely: "When it comes to catering, no matter what time it is, the taste is the first. Those gimmicks can only add icing on the cake, so don't sacrifice the basics for the last."

Chapter 262 Zhao Guangming's Invitation

Master Guan saw that Xu Zhuo was so young, and he was afraid that he would do some gimmicks like those online celebrity shops. Although he could make some money in a short period of time, in the long run, this kind of behavior is undoubtedly drinking poison to quench thirst.

It’s not that you can’t engage in gimmicks, but that you can’t sacrifice the basics and discard the taste of the dishes for the sake of gimmicks. This is absolutely not advisable behavior.

Xu Zhuo glanced at the old man beside him. With the old man around, it was impossible for him to go astray even if he wanted to.

After exchanging greetings, Xu Zhuo and his family entered the airport security check together with Meng Liwei. Taking the high-speed rail would take too long, and the old man's health could not take it anymore. It would be faster to take the plane.

After the plane took off, Wei Junming looked out the window with some emotion: "Look more, I don't know when you will come next time. Xiao Zhuo, you should also look more. When you get busy, you will rarely have the opportunity to travel."

Xu Zhuo was not in the mood to look at it at all. He would come to learn how to make steamed meat powder in a week, so he couldn't feel any sorrow at all, and this place was just a tourist place for him, and he didn't have any special emotions.

Yao Meixiang, on the other hand, looked at the scenery outside the window with reluctance all over her face.

Back in Central Plains, Wei Junming found his car in the parking lot of the airport. He took Yao Meixiang, Chen Guifang and the old man to go first, while Xu Zhuo and his son and Meng Liwei took a taxi to follow.

"Xiao Zhuo, the renovation of the store will be completed in two days, it's time to recruit staff."

Xu Wenhai reminded Xu Zhuo, lest he forget about opening a shop.

Of course Xu Zhuo knew this, he said with a smile, "I started recruiting people when I went back, and Jianguo has been studying here for so many days, so it's time to go back and take control of the overall situation."

Jianguo is Xu Zhuo's default head chef, and Xu Zhuo intends to leave it to him to recruit people for the back kitchen.

Jianguo is more prudent in his work, and with Cao Kun on the sidelines to help, it is more than enough to manage the back kitchen.

And now with the addition of Xu Zhuo, there are already three cooks, and it is enough to find a few help cooks who cut pier and wash vegetables. The team of back cooks does not need to be huge.

Jianguo should have known quite a few helpers over the years, so it shouldn't be a problem to recruit a few people over.

As for waiters and the like, it is easier to post some recruitment notices on the recruitment website. As long as the salary is decent, there will definitely be employees coming.

After Xu Zhuo expressed his thoughts, Xu Wenhai reminded him: "Don't be careless when recruiting people. People who don't have a health certificate or can't get a health certificate will definitely not be admitted."

"In addition, we must also pay attention to the employees. Our restaurant has driven away several petty employees. Although they may not have a big impact, their behavior has a strong driving effect."

"Who doesn't know the high-end ingredients in the store are good? If he takes them home and turns a blind eye to the store, other people will definitely follow suit. Therefore, in this regard, we must not lose the big because of the small, and we must deal with it. It has to be dealt with, which is not only good for the store, but also not bad for him personally."

"If everyone turns a blind eye to him stealing things, it will harm him, because he will steal more and more seriously, and finally ruin his own future."

Xu Zhuo nodded. He would indeed pay attention to the movements of the employees in the store. Doing business is not doing charity, so we cannot recruit all employees.
