"Ahem, I didn't eat when I came, I loaded a few when I saw that the sheep's hooves were cooked, and asked Coco to feed me while driving, she didn't dare to eat all the way in order to lose weight. ”

Xu Zhuo's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he gave his daughter-in-law a cover, and then the car turned and drove towards the city.

Li Hao unceremoniously took the sheep's hooves and gnawed it: "No wonder she is so angry, she is really hungry to feed you all the way like this...... What do you eat at noon? They are clamoring to lose weight, so that we men will also suffer. ”

"Eat watermelon rind at noon, let's also reduce it. ”

He drove to the market and deliberately picked out a dozen or so thick-skinned watermelons.

In fact, there are also watermelons in the store, and all customers who consume in the private room will finally give a large plate of watermelons for customers to use.

But those watermelons are all seedless watermelons with thin skins, and the watermelon skin can't be used at all.

With this thick-skinned watermelon, you can make dishes related to watermelon skin.

After buying it, the two drove back.

However, Li Hao is obviously not very enthusiastic about watermelon skin: "Boss Xu, this thing is so bland, let's really follow them to lose weight?"

Xu Zhuo smiled: "Do you dare to say this in front of Panpan?"

Li Hao coughed twice and stopped talking.

"Don't worry, watermelon rinds can make delicious dishes. ”

After returning to the store and moving the watermelon to the kitchen, Xu Zhuo began to get busy.

And Li Hao didn't have much expectation for watermelon rind, so he went to a self-service hot pot restaurant not far away.

I'm going to have a good time there, and then I'll come back and eat watermelon rind with everyone.

In this way, Sun Panpan will not mumble that he has eaten too much, and he will not have to endure the weak watermelon skin, and he can also have a meat addiction by the way.

The best of all three worlds!

It's not that Li Hao doesn't have confidence in Xu Zhuo, it's mainly that he really can't think of how to make such a vegetarian ingredient as watermelon skin delicious.

He doesn't know, it doesn't mean that Boss Xu doesn't know either.

On the contrary, Boss Xu is very familiar with watermelon peels.

When she was in high school, Chen Guifang was also obsessed with watermelon peels for a while.

Taking advantage of the old lady's trip to the provincial capital, Xu Wenhai tried his best to make watermelon peels every day, and the two of them were stunned to accompany Chen Guifang to eat for more than half a month.

In the end, Chen Guifang couldn't stand it, and this was the end.

Looking back now, Xu Wenhai really tried his best to make watermelon skin.

Now that he met Yu Keke, who wanted to eat watermelon rind, Xu Zhuo planned to pick some relatively simple dishes that Xu Wenhai had made back then.

It's also a tribute to my father.

After all, everyone has met a woman who wants to lose weight by watermelon rind, and it is also fate.

Seriously, watermelon rind is a really good ingredient.

The texture is crisp and dense, and it can be cold, stir-fried, or simmered, and goes well with most ingredients.

And no matter how you make the watermelon rind, it will have a hint of sweetness, which will significantly improve the quality and taste of the food.

Wash the watermelon on the outside, then place it on a cutting board and use a kitchen knife to peel off the outermost green crust.

When the dark green watermelon turns into a pale cyan ball, it is also a sign that it is time to move on to the next step.

Xu Zhuo cut the watermelon, and the red melon pulp was slightly sandy, and it looked like a good watermelon.

But today's protagonist is the outer layer of watermelon rind.

When buying watermelons, Xu Zhuo deliberately asked the vendor to cut one and confirm that it was a thick-skinned melon.

The skin of this watermelon is almost two centimeters thick, and it is a little hard to cut.

If you eat watermelon alone, it is indeed a bit of a loss to buy this kind of melon, because the skin of the melon is thick and heavy.

But if you eat watermelon rind, this watermelon couldn't be more perfect. Nature

Xu Zhuo cut the watermelon into teeth of about ten centimeters, and then used a kitchen knife to stick a piece of the joint between the melon pulp and the melon skin, and the watermelon rind and watermelon pulp were separated.

He puts the melon pulp in a clean basin and brings it to the cold storage later, so that it can be eaten by the store staff at noon, or it can be sprinkled with sugar and given to customers to taste.

He processed three or four watermelons in one go, and got most of the pots of melon skins out.

When you think it's enough, you can stop.

When Xu Zhuo took the melon pulp out of the slice and sent it to the cold storage, Jianguo came over curiously.

"Yo, get so much watermelon pulp, are you going to make watermelon bean sauce?"

When Xu Zhuo heard this, he immediately became interested.

It's dog days, watermelons are cheap, and it's hot weather, so it's really time to make watermelon bean paste.

Or......

Have you had nothing to do these two days?

Xu Zhuo said with a smile: "I am indeed going to make watermelon bean paste, but I haven't boiled beans yet, so let's give these watermelons to the employees when they eat in the morning." ”

Jianguo didn't expect the employees to have watermelon to eat, and grinned: "When you make watermelon bean sauce, you can ask Tingting to give you a hand, she just made a small can in the dormitory two days ago." ”

Yo!

I didn't expect the staff in the store to be talented.

Xu Zhuo agreed with a smile, he was not very familiar with watermelon bean sauce, so asking Huang Tingting to help was just a good way to cover it up.

But......

Xu Zhuo only reacted when he came to the cold storage with the basin, how could Jianguo know so much about Huang Tingting making watermelon bean sauce in the dormitory?

Could it be that Mr. Charles is empathetic?

When I went back to Guo Xingwang to ask, I had to pay close attention to the emotional problems of the employees, so as not to affect the harmony and unity of the store.

After coming out of the cold storage, Xu Zhuo cleaned the watermelon rind and then began to prepare for cooking.

There are many dishes that can be made with watermelon rind, such as cold dressing, candied sauce, stir-frying, stewed meat, and soup.

But for the first dish, Xu Zhuo planned to make a dessert that Xu Wenhai had made back then.

Maybe it's because of the ambiguity of the word melon skin, so I don't know which cultural person had the idea to name this dessert - orange juice cuiyi.

It's quite simple, and it can be said that even people who don't have a basic cooking foundation can learn it.

Cut the watermelon rind into strips and blanch the water, boil until soft and remove the cool water.

Drain the water, pour in the orange juice and sugar, stir, seal with plastic wrap, and put in the refrigerator for 12 hours before eating.

Xu Zhuo recalled what Xu Wenhai did back then, and then began to do it.

First of all, the red flesh on the melon skin should be cleaned, so that it will not be boiled when blanching, and it can also maintain the tender green color of the melon skin.

After scraping clean, cut into long strips and pour into boiling water.

After about four or five minutes, when the melon skin can be pierced with chopsticks, it is fished out with a fence and put into cold water.

Taking advantage of this time, Xu Zhuo went to the warehouse and took a jar of orange juice.

This orange juice is not a fresh orange commonly drunk in drinks, but a kind of kitchen seasoning.

Its main effect is to increase the sour taste of oranges.

It tastes sour, but the sweetness is very low, so you should add sugar when you use it.

After the temperature of the watermelon strips cooled down, Xu Zhuo took them out, blotted the water with kitchen paper, and then put them in a clean basin.

Pour in the orange juice and sugar, stir well, then cover with plastic wrap and send it to the cold storage.

With that done, it's time to prepare a hard dish with watermelon rind.

Pork ribs stewed melon skin!
