Food starts with noodles
Page 190
After Xu Zhuo finished speaking, everyone agreed.
Now that the price of meat is constantly rising, it is really hard to say how much it will rise. According to reports on the Internet, it has risen to 51 catties in some places, which is almost fatal.
Xu Zhuo took a cookbook and strolled to the copy shop.
The shop owner was sitting in the shop watching "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an". When he saw Xu Zhuo come in and paused, he looked at Xu Zhuo and asked, "Is there anything that needs to be revised?"
Xu Zhuo nodded with a smile, and put the menu on the table: "Remove the white meat with garlic paste, and add Lizhuang white meat to the previous signature dish. You can see how it works."
The store owner waved his hand: "It's easy to handle. Do you have any photos? If so, you can bring all the recipes from the store, and I'll print a page and insert it. This recipe is alive."
After he finished speaking, he pulled a button-shaped decoration on the outside of the recipe, and the whole recipe fell apart.
"This design is for the convenience of adding dishes. Just tell me what dishes you want to add in the future, and I will add them for you for free."
Are you so polite?
Xu Zhuo looked at the shop owner and said, "That's not okay, you have to pay what you owe, and you can't suffer."
The store owner smiled and pointed to the computer monitor: "Have you seen this movie?"
Xu Zhuo nodded. When he was in Rongcheng, he had nothing to do to catch up and watched it. It was quite an interesting movie.
The shop owner rubbed his hands, and asked Xu Zhuo a little embarrassedly: "Xiao Xu, if you have time, can you help me make a pot of mutton?"
Xu Zhuo was taken aback for a moment, this was the precursor to the triggering of the side quest of Taste of Hometown.
Immediately, he became interested: "I haven't cooked it before, so I may not be able to make it delicious. I remember that there are several restaurants in Linping City that specialize in Northwest cuisine..."
The shop owner waved his hand: "Don't mention it, the quality of the mutton used is not good, and the soup is also blended with thick soup treasure. You are not a person who does business in a down-to-earth manner."
"Last time I took my son to your store to eat stewed noodles. The mutton soup is really authentic and the mutton is delicious. I think you should try making water basin mutton. I can introduce customers to you later. "
Xu Zhuo didn't expect that the owner of the shop had eaten stewed noodles in the shop, so he really didn't remember it at all.
"Are you Lao Shan? Why do you have such a soft spot for water basin mutton?"
The owner of the store smiled: "I am from Weinan, and the water basin mutton originated in Weinan. I grew up eating water basins, and I can't forget the taste. To be honest, I watched this TV series because I came from the water basins."
As soon as he finished speaking, the system's notification tone also came.
"Ding! There are new side missions, please click on the mission panel for details."
Xu Zhuo entered the system, clicked on the mission panel, and began to check the side mission about the mutton in the water basin.
Side mission: Taste of Hometown ([-])
Task details: Make a bowl of mutton that satisfies Feng Chunguang.
Mission rewards and punishments: If the mission is successful, the popularity of the Sifang Pavilion in Linping City will be improved; if the mission fails, the difficulty for the host to learn knife-sliced noodles will be doubled.
Task time limit: one month.
Chapter 287
After reading it, Xu Zhuo subconsciously swears: "Damn..."
Boss Feng of the copy shop raised his head randomly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Zhuo quickly waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, just wait a moment, I'll send someone to send the photos over."
Although Lizhuang white meat has been eaten at this moment, Yu Keke has already taken videos and photos before eating, and because he was filming at that time, the presentation was pretty good, more than enough for the cover of a dish.
He called Yu Keke and asked the little girl to send the photos and all the recipes in the store, and then began to think about the mutton in the water basin.
Xu Zhuo is no stranger to water basin mutton.
It's not that he likes it so much, it's mainly because after "A Bite of the Tongue [-]" was broadcast, the part about the water basin mutton made countless Northwest gourmets very dissatisfied.
As a melon-eating crowd, Boss Xu was on the Internet at that time, and learned a lot of knowledge about water basin mutton. From how to cook to how to eat, it was all written by the group of veterans on the Internet.
And the recent hit "Chang'an Twelve Hours" once again pushed the water basin mutton to the hot spot.
While watching the drama, many people clicked on the takeaway with their mobile phones to find out if there was a business that made mutton in the basin nearby.
But the really delicious water basin mutton is hard to find.
The most basic one is that any mutton with vermicelli in a water basin is not authentic.
Adding vermicelli or vermicelli is the practice of mutton steamed buns, and the real water basin mutton is never put in these.
Some merchants in Xi'an, in order to save costs, raised prices under the banner of authenticity, while imitating mutton steamed buns and adding vermicelli to their bowls.
This kind of behavior is despised by many Northwest gourmets.
It is understandable for you to think that the cost is high and the price is increased, but after the price is added, there are not a few pieces of meat. In the end, you only eat a bowl of vermicelli. What kind of water basin mutton is it?
So now, there are two schools of water basin mutton.
One is the Weinan water basin mutton, which follows the pure route, only meat, no fans, no gimmicks, a real bowl of meat, like the simplicity and kindness of the Northwesterners.
The other is Xi’an water basin mutton, which is filled with vermicelli, pays attention to appearance, is expensive, and has various eating rules, but the whole bowl only has two or three slices of mutton, which left a bad impression on many foreign tourists.
Xu Zhuo tentatively asked Boss Feng: "You eat water basins, don't you add fans?"
Feng Chunguang said helplessly as soon as he heard it: "The real water basin does not add fans. Those idiots did it for the sake of profit. Now restaurants all over the country are learning, such as those in Linping City who sell water basin mutton. The restaurant has also started adding fans after the Bite of Tongue [-] was broadcast."
"It makes it impossible to eat a bowl of authentic water basin mutton now, alas!"
Xu Zhuo knew it in his heart now, since it is a Weinan-style water basin, it will be enough to add more meat at that time, let's not talk about whether it tastes good or not, let's put our attitude right first.
Yu Yu Keke took the DV to find a copy shop, and transferred the photos and videos to Feng Chunguang's computer with a data cable.
Feng Chunguang started to edit the photos, but his mouth didn't stop, he was still chatting with Xu Zhuo about the mutton in the basin.
Xu Zhuo liked this topic very much, and it happened that he also wanted to set Feng Chunguang's personal taste.
"When I eat water basin mutton, I like to eat it with a stronger pepper flavor. Zanthoxylum bungeanum makes you sweat. If you eat a water basin in summer, you will sweat all over and feel refreshed. In addition, I also like to put sheep oil and pepper in it, which is really delicious. "
Come on, with this request, Xu Zhuo is [-]% sure that he can finish the water basin mutton that Feng Chunguang wants.
Especially mutton oil chili, Xu Zhuo is also thinking about whether to make some for use in the store recently.
Because when the weather turns cold, more and more customers will eat stewed noodles. Compared with chili oil, mutton oil chili is the best match for stewed noodles.
Put a lump of mutton oil chili into the noodle bowl, and slowly melt into a fragrant chili oil, and it also has the unique taste of mutton oil, not to mention how fragrant it tastes.
As for peppercorns, it is also easy to handle. It is the season to eat green peppercorns. Yesterday, Chen Guifang also sent a lot of green peppercorns, which can be used in the mutton in the water basin.
After Feng Chunguang finished the recipe, Xu Zhuo led Yu Keke to leave and go back.
On the way, Yu Keke kept muttering: "Why does the shop owner keep talking to you about the water basin mutton? Is he planning to let you cook it?"
Xu Zhuo nodded: "I plan to try it too. Now the price of pork has risen too much, but the price of mutton is very stable, so I want to introduce a mutton meal, but it is not certain whether it will be successful or not."
Water basin mutton is a very suitable meal for students. It costs about [-] yuan a piece. It contains meat, soup, and two noodle cakes, and the broth can be refilled for free, even people with large appetites can be full .
But he just said this to comfort Yu Keke, Xu Zhuo is still a little undecided at the moment because there is no water bowl mutton in the store.
Because if the water basin mutton is introduced, the food in the store will be affected, which is not very cost-effective.
Before the Sifang restaurant was upgraded, the water basin mutton was quite suitable, but now after the store is upgraded, it is a bit out of date to introduce the water basin mutton, which will affect the sales of other dishes in the store too much.
As the boss, Xu Zhuo can't think about the sales of a single dish now, but has to think about the situation of the entire store.
Back in the store, Xu Zhuo was just about to chat with Li Hao, a foodie, about the water basin mutton, but found that there were several customers sitting in the store, and they were eating sheep's feet at the moment.
Xu Zhuo looked around and found that the tables and chairs in the store had been rearranged, and the hygiene was also cleaned.
Meng Liwei and a few programmers were sitting in the corner chatting, a few waiters were cleaning the table, Zheng Jia and Sun Panpan were sitting at the counter, discussing the issue of recharging, Li Hao was missing, and probably drove to Wei Junming went.
"Boss, they ordered oil-splashed noodles, Brother Jianguo can't cook well..."
Zheng Jia reminded Xu Zhuo in a low voice, and then talked with Sun Panpan about how to recharge.
Xu Zhuo went into the back kitchen and saw that Jianguo and the others were cooking stewed noodles. There was nothing wrong with the cooking, but the steps of pouring the oil were wrong. One bowl of oil was obviously too hot, and the layer of chili on the top was fried to brown.
The other bowl was not warm enough, and a lump of sticky chilli was piled on top of the noodles, which made people lose any appetite.
Xu Zhuo looked at it once, and found that all the finished bowls had problems of one kind or another. He waved his hand at Jianguo and said, "Let me do it, don't worry about it. Put these bowls of oil-splashed noodles in cold water first, and fry them later." Have it for dinner."
After finishing speaking, Xu Zhuo rolled up his sleeves, washed his hands carefully, and started cooking braised noodles.
It's really not enough to leave for a while, Xu Zhuo felt that it was necessary to conduct a training for the people in the store, not asking for much, but at least he had to be able to cope with the situation when he was not around.
He also planned to take Yu Keke for a drive, but he didn't want to be called back halfway.
Chapter 288 Unexpected Hotness
After preparing the oily noodles, Xu Zhuo was about to go out to catch his breath when he found that Li Hao had returned, and not only him, but also Zhou Wen who had left with the Film Association after lunch.
They were sorting out the shooting equipment, and when they saw Xu Zhuo come out, Zhou Wen smiled and said, "We're going to take some empty shots while there are few people around."
Xu Zhuo didn't have any objection to this, and leaned over to study their equipment.
I don't know whether it was back to the base camp or new equipment was added, Xu Zhuo found that they changed the camera.
When they were in Chengdu before, they used two Canon 5D3 cameras, but now they have replaced them with Sony FS7 action cameras.
Although Xu Zhuo didn't understand this aspect at all, he also knew that this was definitely a huge improvement.
After all, taking video with a camera is no better than a professional video camera.
"How much is this camera?"
Zhou Wen fiddled with it and said, "It's not much, the body costs tens of thousands, and the lens is another story. We are just getting started, and we just happened to meet your store for an advertisement, so we took it out and tried something new."
Xu Zhuo watched them keep adding various accessories to the fuselage, and really envied these young people.
When he was in college, the school also had a film association, and he liked to get together to shoot videos for fun.
But that group of people can use cameras to shoot videos at most, and usually play with a DV, such high-end games as Zhou Wen and the others are really rare in the university circle.
While Xu Zhuo was looking at their assembly parts and equipment, Li Hao nagged beside him: "This set of equipment can't be bought without 30 yuan."
Xu Zhuo was taken aback: "So expensive?"
Li Hao opened the box in the place and showed it to Xu Zhuo. It was full of various lenses.
"The body is not expensive, but the various lenses are too expensive, and the storage device is also fatal. In 4K mode, the existing memory card can only shoot for about [-] minutes, and other storage devices need to be added."
"In addition to these, the post-processing computer must be reconfigured, and the lighting equipment must also be complete. This set of equipment is not enough without 50."
"Tsk tsk, it's so nice to be rich, I'm envious!"
If he hadn't known that Li Hao had a six-figure pocket money all year round, Boss Xu would have believed it.
Because of the opening ceremony in the morning, it was inconvenient for some old customers to come to eat. Now that the celebration is over and the store has resumed business, many old customers who are waiting to try something new flock here.
"Boss Xu, do you still remember me? This time the new store opens, do you have any new dishes? Recommend two."
"Goat's hooves, ten sheep's hooves, I haven't eaten your sheep's hooves for a long time, I'm so hungry."
"These recipes are new dishes in the store? Give me a small portion of Lizhuang white meat. The price of meat has skyrocketed recently, and I haven't tasted any meat in almost a month..."
There should have been no customers in the afternoon, otherwise Zhou Wen would not have thought about shooting at this moment.
As a result, their equipment had just been completed, and the store was full of customers. Boss Xu, who had been watching the excitement, had already gone to the back kitchen to work. Meal, a busy scene.
"Sister Wen, what should we do now? We can't drive these guests away, can we?"
Zhou Wen thought for a while, took out two newly purchased Go Pro action cameras from the box, turned on the time-lapse photography mode, and fixed them on the front desk and the gate of the hotel with multi-functional brackets respectively.
In this way, the scene of customers coming and going in the store can be photographed.
Then Zhou Wen took out a Go Pro, took a tripod into the kitchen, also turned on the time-lapse photography mode, fixed the tripod in the corner of the back kitchen, and took a shot of Xu Zhuo and the others busy in the back kitchen.
After finishing all this work, Zhou Wen asked the people from the Film Association to put the equipment in the utility room and left first.
At the moment, the light outside is too strong to take pictures of the exterior, the store is too chaotic to take pictures of the environment, and the back kitchen is too busy to take pictures of the chef stir frying.
So I can only leave the store first, and wait until the store is not busy.
Until it got dark, Xu Zhuo and the others were never idle in the back kitchen. They didn't even have time to send the programmers off to Xu Zhuo. In the end, it was Meng Liwei who drove the programmers to the airport in Xu Zhuo's car.
Apart from a few programmers leaving, Chen Guifang and Xu Wenhai also came to say goodbye to Xu Zhuo.
