Mission Deadline: Before 8 p.m.
Quest Tip: Start with He Yan's future.
After reading it, Xu Zhuo's only puzzle was why the last prompt of the system was related to He Yan?
Starting from He Yan's future, is it possible to discuss the child's education with He Guoan?
But thinking about his identity as a college graduate, Xu Zhuo wisely dismissed this idea.
It's better to start with something else.
When I arrived at Ji's roast duck restaurant, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and there were people waiting in line at the door of the store.
When I came upstairs, the small private room was ready, and a few small cold dishes were served.
The two of them had a lot of fun at the shooting range, and they were both a little hungry at this time.
Ji Mingyu asked the waiter to serve a few dishes, and then one person brought a large portion of fried noodles, and then sat down with Xu Zhuo to eat.
In addition to being famous for roast duck, Jijia Roast Duck Restaurant also ranks among the best in the capital for fried noodles.
The waiter quickly brought in a few hot dishes, and two more trays with a large bowl of noodles that had been boiled and then cooled.
Around the bowl are seven small plates with various dishes inside.
Fried sauce noodles, seven dishes and eight bowls are standard, this is the last dignity of the down-and-out Eight Banners back then.
In the early Qing Dynasty, the children of the Eight Banners lived a relatively prosperous life, and their lives were very extravagant, such as entertaining guests, often paying attention to seven dishes and eight bowls, that is, the table should be full of dishes.
By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the children of the Eight Banners became more and more depressed, but the royal family still stipulated that they could not do business, making the lives of these nobles not as good as ordinary people.
Although the life is down, the elegance and decency that the aristocracy should have cannot be left behind.
For example, when there are guests at home, they still pay attention to seven dishes and eight bowls.
How to pay attention to it?
When eating fried noodles, I deliberately put the dishes into small plates, which is an extremely shabby version of seven dishes and eight bowls.
There is also a saying that the children of the Eight Banners were down-and-out at that time, but they didn't know how to cook, so they made some green vegetables and cut some yards and put them on a plate, and then made a plate of sauce.
Eat with the vegetables dipped in the sauce, and then make a bowl of noodles when you are done, and mix the leftover greens and sauce into the bowl.
Qi Huo, this is the origin of jajangmyeon.
Of course, the truth of this legend is no longer verifiable, anyway, that's how the fried noodles came about.
And when eating fried noodles, many people will tell these allusions, and then ridicule the poor and exquisite children of the Eight Banners.
Ji Mingyu talked to Xu Zhuo about this while skillfully mixing the noodles in the bowl, and when he finished speaking, he saw that Xu Zhuo had no reaction, and asked a little strangely: "Aren't you a chef, aren't you interested in this matter?"
Xu Zhuo smiled: "No, the main thing is that I'm tired of listening." ”
Ji Mingyu: "......"
"What do you mean?"
"Every time I eat fried noodles in the capital, it's the same rhetoric. ”
When the two of them were eating, a waiter walked in and asked Xu Zhuo in a low voice what ingredients he needed to use in the afternoon, and the kitchen would prepare them in advance.
Xu Zhuo thought for a while and said: "Meat pigeons and ducks are fine, ducks should be tender, preferably live ducks." ”
The waiter said yes and left the private room.
Ji Mingyu glanced at Xu Zhuo: "Do you really want to cook this dish in front of my grandfather and Uncle He?
"No problem, rest assured, it will definitely make your eyes shine. ”
After Xu Zhuo finished speaking, he pinched the garlic cloves and began to eat noodles.
As the saying goes: if you don't eat garlic when you eat noodles, the fragrance will be half less.
When you eat fried noodles, you have a clove of garlic, and it really goes well with rice.
After eating and drinking, Xu Zhuo walked to the opposite hotel to prepare for a lunch break.
I played the game until the early hours of the morning last night, and I was woken up by Ji Mingyu early in the morning, and I was very tired from playing at the shooting range, so Xu Zhuo urgently needed to take a break at this time.
Recharge your energy to make your mind clearer.
in order to persuade He Guoan to break off with the Ge family.
After sleeping for almost an hour, Xu Zhuo washed his face, changed his clothes and went downstairs.
At three o'clock at this time, he came to the Jijia roast duck restaurant opposite, and just about to go to the back kitchen to familiarize himself with the environment, he saw Ji Mingyu moving to the back kitchen with a tripod.
"Mingyu, what are you doing here?"
Ji Mingyu saw that it was Xu Zhuo, and immediately said: "Take a video, you are a celebrity now, you have to use your fame to advertise in our store." ”
Yes, it seems that yesterday's roast duck and today's fried noodles were not eaten for nothing.
But just shoot it, it's best to shoot He Guoan too, and release it for everyone in the Ge family to see when the time comes.
It should be a wonderful look on their faces.
The back kitchen of Jijia Roast Duck Restaurant is very large, after all, there is a roast duck oven, and most of it is an area for processing duck, so there is actually no need to worry about duck meat here.
It's just that the duck that makes the scallop upside down is completely different from the duck that roast the duck.
The duck used for roast duck is stuffed duck, which is very large, each of which is about seven or eight catties or even ten catties, with more fat and thick meat, which is very suitable for roast duck to eat.
However, the duck used on the ribbon should be used in the south, which is not large, the meat quality is relatively delicate, and the duck is fat and thin, so the taste is better.
Now the duck is ready, looking at the size of almost three catties, not big, it should be the kind of duckling that is several months old.
In addition to the ducks, the pigeons are also ready.
In fact, this dish should be made with a wild duck about the size of a pigeon.
Because the belt is facing the court, it is also the homonym of the tide, and the duck swims in the water with the wild duck, which has the meaning of making the tide.
Changing to a pigeon has no such effect, and by blood, the pigeon and the duck are not as close as the mallard and the duck.
But now the mallard is a protected animal, and it is illegal to eat a mallard, so you can only use pigeons to make up the number.
The ducks and pigeons have all been slaughtered, and even the fine hairs on the skin have been cleaned up.
Ji Wenxuan stood aside, looked at Xu Zhuo and asked, "Xiao Zhuo, Master He will be here in a while, and then it's up to you, this dish is not simple, don't be careless." ”
Xu Zhuo nodded, washed his hands carefully on the side of the pool, and then covered a chef's uniform brought by Ji Mingyu over the short sleeves.
Putting on the chef's hat again, Xu Xiaochu went online again.
He took the ducks and pigeons he had prepared, and was ready to start tidying up, because he had to marinate them for half an hour.
If you wait for He Guoan to come and then clean up, the ducks and pigeons will no longer be fresh.
Second, it was pickled for half an hour, Xu Zhuo really didn't know what to do, and he couldn't stand in the kitchen with a few people staring at him, right?
