Spit and complain, Xu Zhuo finally did not choose to give up, but planned to give it a try.

If the mission fails, then let it be, and there is no hope anyway. If you are lucky enough to complete the task, it will only be a surprise.

That's how Buddhist people comfort themselves.

When he came to the kitchen, Xu Zhuo began to make noodles in full swing.

It would take at least two hours to make it with skills, but the task requirement was one and a half hours, so Xu Zhuo planned to speed up and try to get out of this half hour as much as possible.

But......

The ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny, and the time difference of half an hour is not something that can be smoothed out by just being nimble with hands and feet.

And when Xu Zhuo was in a hurry to make noodles, because he was too flustered, he accidentally added too much water when he added water.

Originally, it was churned into dough and then kneaded into dough, but it turned out to be a pot of paste, not to mention pancakes, even if it is not suitable for pancakes.

"Xu Zhuo, what are you going to cook delicious? Just like playing noodles with my little nephew, I didn't ......understand it for a long time."

Guo Xingwang came over, and said a sentence that didn't give face, so that Jianguo, who was leading people to make hand-rolled noodles and stewed noodles next to him, couldn't help but be happy.

Xu Zhuo obviously overturned the car with noodles, and these two goods still shouted out, so he didn't give the boss face, no wonder he had washed the dishes in Wangyue Tower for a few years.

Emotional intelligence, emotional intelligence......

Jianguo sighed with emotion, but he forgot that he was so upright when he first went to work, even when he became the head chef, he remembered what to say.

It wasn't until after coming to the provincial capital, under Huang Tingting's education, that emotional intelligence gradually rose, not only learned how to get along with people, but also became more and more experienced in management.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment of the boss, Mr. Charles, whose emotional intelligence has obviously increased, said to Xu Zhuo: "Xu Zhuo, come and see how my noodles are going, what kind of pasta can you see is more suitable......"

I just built a piece of noodles, because I added a little too much water, so I can't make braised noodles, and it's not very suitable for hand-rolled noodles.

To put it bluntly, it is a ball of discarded dough, but if it can help Xu Zhuo get out of the predicament, it is worth the money.

But Xu Zhuo's mind is now in a hurry, how can he have time to take care of this, the countdown to the task has never stopped, and he has no time to look at any dough.

However, Jianguo did not stop there, he wanted Xu Zhuo to make instructions based on the piece of dough, whether it was thrown away or something else, it was up to Xu Zhuo to decide.

Then he came over with the basin containing the dough: "Xu Zhuo, you see, I've been awake for almost half an hour." ”

Xu Zhuogang was about to ask him not to disturb him, but after seeing the dough, combined with what Jianguo had just said......

Isn't this just for you!

It takes half an hour to make pancakes, and now Jianguo's dough just makes up for Xu Zhuo's, time, he immediately put down the work in his hand, and raised his hand to knot the basin brought by Jianguo.

"This dough is good, and you are really good at building the country. ”

Statehood: "......"

It's all old classmates, if you want to say that I'm wasting flour, just say it, there's no need to play this kind of irony.

As a result, he was just about to explain, but found that Xu Zhuo sprinkled a layer of flour on the board, and then quickly dug out the dough in the basin, and at the same time ordered Jianguo.

"Help me preheat the gas pan, and we'll use this dough to make a delicious meal today." ”

Jianguo is a little confused, is this soft dough really useful?

However, he was confused, and according to Xu Zhuo's instructions, he turned on the gas cake pan, turned it into a low heat and began to preheat.

Guo Xingwang on the side was a little surprised, Mr. Charles's level of stammering people is too high, right? A ball of discarded dough can also become a tool for stammering with the boss.

Served!

I have to ask him about his experience after work tonight, and we will follow the long experience.

On the other side, Xu Zhuo was busy making the cake blanks of the pancakes.

The pancakes used to cut shredded cakes are different from what you usually eat, first of all, you don't need to put salt, this thing is only original, and the taste is good.

In addition, there is no need to put side dishes such as chopped green onions, just flour.

The third and final point is to make it a double layer.

Delicious shredded cakes are layered, so that the flavor can be immersed in the shredded cakes, and at the same time, it can also prevent the shredded cakes from being too thick and increase the difficulty of chewing, so that they are excellent in terms of texture and taste.

After Xu Zhuo kneaded the dough slightly, he divided the dough into a dough the size of a garlic mortar.

Take a piece of dough and place it on a cutting board, roll it out with a rolling pin into a round cake of about one centimeter, and then brush the surface with a layer of oil.

Once the oil is brushed, use a kitchen knife to cut the center of the dough and draw a straight line towards the sides of the dough.

This is equivalent to drawing out the radius of the round dough.

Once you have made a cut, start rolling along the edge of the diameter of the cut, roll the dough into a cone, with the tip of the cone pointing upwards, and then flatten it with your hands.

When you roll out the dough six or seven millimeters thick with a rolling pin again, the crust is ready.

There will be a gap in the middle of the cake made in this way, but the gap is not too big, and if you don't cut it, you can't see it at all, and it is naturally prepared for making bread shreds.

It happened that the gas cake pan had also been preheated, so Xu Zhuo picked the cake blank with a rolling pin and put it into the gas cake pan.

The cake used to make the cake must be soft enough, that is, add more water when mixing the noodles, so that the baked cake will not be dry and hard, but soft and strong, whether it is a fried cake stewed cake or a stewed cake, it is extremely suitable.

The baking step is simple, and when the two sides are browned, they can be removed from the pan, and then set aside to cool.

In fact, a good shredded cake is shredded after the skin is cooled overnight and then shredded, and the food produced in this way is good in taste, texture and aroma.

This is exactly the same as Yangzhou fried rice made with overnight rice.

But now, it is too late overnight, and the way Xu Zhuo can think of is to send the cake into the cold storage, speed up the cooling and softening, and make the cake shredded to the best state as much as possible.

"Xu Zhuo, your cake is too unpalatable, don't say it without green onions, you don't even put salt, is it popular to eat plain cakes now?"

Since Xu Zhuo started making cakes, Guo Xingwang put them aside, waiting to eat delicious food.

When the cake was ready, he couldn't wait to tear a piece and put it in his mouth to taste it, and then almost spit it out......

It's not that this original bread is unpalatable, it's mainly that no matter what Xu Zhuo did before, the taste was super good, which made people want to eat it.

With this sense of anticipation, this plain dough cake is a lot more unpalatable.

"It's not good, go and send it to the cold storage, and let you taste the stewed cakes that we northerners love to eat later, it's absolutely delicious." ”

Although Guo Xingwang was a little skeptical, he obediently sent the dough to the cold storage.

In this way, after Xu Zhuo baked all the dough cakes, he began to prepare the side dishes for the stewed cakes.

Diced pork belly, shredded cabbage, green onions, ginger and garlic, etc.

In fact, you don't have to be very particular about making stewed cakes, both meat and vegetables are available, except for the shredded cakes, other ingredients are mixed at will.

After all, this is a home-cooked delicacy, and each household has different practices, and it is difficult to define one method by one.

After the side dishes were ready, Xu Zhuo took out the already cold cake from the cold storage and began to cut the cake shreds.

Depending on the method, the shredded cake is cut differently.

Take risotto as an example, the shredded cake used is about ten centimeters long and six or seven millimeters wide, and it must be stewed with bone broth to taste the best, and the length of ten centimeters is just enough to eat in one mouthful.

As for the shredded pancakes, they should be narrower, so that they can be flavored in the rapid stir-frying, and they are also easy to match with side dishes.

As for the shredded bread, it should also be six or seven millimeters wide, but there is no limit to the length, it should be as long as possible, so that there will be a feeling of eating stewed noodles.

The method of stewing cakes is actually very similar to braised noodles, which is to first stir-fry the diced meat until fragrant, then pour water to boil, and put in shredded cakes or noodles to simmer over low heat.

However, there are differences, such as the use of raw noodles for braised noodles, while the use of cooked shredded cakes for braised cakes, so there is a big difference in the time of production.

Because the braised noodles are raw noodles, they absorb more soup, but the stewed cakes are relatively average.

However, you can add broth, such as pork bone broth, to the stewed cake, which can increase the flavor, but the stewed noodles can only be made with water, because raw noodles are easy to paste the bottom of the pot when you add broth.

Xu Zhuo cut the cake from the middle, then aligned the edge of the cut and began to cut the cake into shreds.

As with hand-rolled dough, cut the dough six or seven millimeters apart and then cut into long strips.

However, the hand-rolled dough is relatively thin, and the shredded cake is quite thick, six or seven millimeters thick, almost the same as the width.

In addition, it is already cooked, so the shredded cake is a little difficult to cut.

After Xu Zhuo cut the shredded cakes, he looked at the countdown of the system, and there were still more than twenty minutes.

It is true that it can save a lot of time by using Jianguohe's noodles and putting them in the cold storage to speed up the cooling, but it is difficult to say what the specific stewed cakes taste like.

So Xu Zhuo was not complacent because there were more than 20 minutes left, but was a little nervous, because these more than 20 minutes were only enough to make a pot of stewed cakes.

Once he misses, he doesn't even have time to make amends.

Slide the wok into the pan, add the lard after it is hot, and when the lard melts and wisps of green smoke come out of the pot, Xu Zhuo puts diced pork belly into it for stir-frying.

Stir-frying pork in lard is actually not very good, because then the aroma of lard is too strong. The correct way is to stir-fry vegetarian dishes with meat oil, and make meat dishes with vegetable oil.

However, just now Ji Wenxuan specially said about lard, which shows that he especially liked to eat lard when he was young, so in order to let him find the feeling of being young, Xu Zhuo replaced vegetable oil with lard.

When the diced meat in the pot is fried until the surface is browned, Xu Zhuo puts green onions, ginger and garlic into the pot and stir-fries until fragrant, then adds light soy sauce and dark soy sauce to enhance the color and flavor, and then adds salt and sugar to increase the level of taste.

When you're done with that, put the shredded cabbage in the pan and stir-fry a few times before pouring in a large bowl of pork bone stock.

In some places, I make stewed cakes, and I like to add sweet noodle sauce and soybean paste, but this time Xu Zhuo didn't put it, because when Ji Wenxuan was young, sweet noodle sauce didn't have such a big application.

In addition, once the sauce is added, the flavor of the ingredients is suppressed, so that only the flavor of the sauce remains.

This is absolutely unbearable for discerning state banquet chefs.

After the broth boiled, Xu Zhuo put some dark soy sauce to add color, then sprinkled a spoonful of pepper and a spoonful of five-spice powder, stirred well, put in the cake shreds, covered the pot, turned down the heat, and began to simmer.

You can't rush this step, you have to take your time, so that the soup can penetrate into the cake as much as possible.

In fact, at this time, the fragrance has already wafted out, after all, it is made of lard, and there is pork belly in it, and the fragrance is enough.

Guo Xingwang finished the work in his hand, and followed the fragrance to come over.

"Wow, this tastes so good, isn't it?

Xu Zhuo nodded: "How about it?"

Guo Xingwang nodded: "Your pasta in the north is really something, such as this stewed cake, which completely exceeded my expectations." ”

"Do you want to learn?"

"I want to, but recently, Grandpa Feng has always asked me to practice harmony, and he doesn't let me do anything else, and says that my brain is too stupid, unlike you. ”

Tsk, Xu Zhuo was just about to lead this goods to Feng Weiguo, but he didn't expect him to take the initiative to reveal his relationship with Feng Weiguo.

took the initiative to start teaching him to make peace, this is a good start, and when the New Year is over, it will be done.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhuo pointed at Jianguo and said to Guo Xingwang: "Now Jianguo is in charge of noodles, you have nothing to communicate with him more, practice if you have nothing to do in private, don't wait for Grandpa Feng to urge you." ”

"But he always called me stupid......"

"To say that you are stupid is to treat you as his own, which means that he wants you to teach you, you see that Grandpa Feng usually thinks of ways to praise even the new cook, and never says anything unpleasant. ”

A word to wake up the person in the dream, Xu Zhuo's words made Guo Xingwang immediately wake up, and he didn't wait to eat the stewed cake, so he ran to the side of Jianguo and began to ask for peace and noodles.

In fact, the highest level of noodles in the store is still Boss Xu, but he can only do it and can't teach, so he chose to let Guo Xingwang go to Jianguo for advice.

Speaking of teaching, Xu Zhuo remembered that there was also a task of a standardized tutorial, and when he had time, he pondered how to get it, so he could exchange it for some rewards.

After the shredded cakes in the pot were stuffy for about ten minutes, Xu Zhuo lifted the lid of the pot, and an attractive fragrance rose.

There is only a little bit of soup left at the bottom of the pot, and the shredded cakes are very shiny, and the color of soy sauce makes you want to eat two bites.

Cut some shredded green and red peppers, turn the heat up, and then pick up the wok and stir-fry for a minute.

All the soup in the pot is absorbed into the shredded cakes, and the shredded green and red peppers are also thoroughly mixed in the pot, and they are ready to be cooked.

Xu Zhuo put the stewed cakes in a bowl, a total of four bowls, but they were not too full.

This is his deliberate trick to complete the task, a lot of food, only when there is less, when the food is not enjoyable, it will feel delicious.

For example, foie gras and caviar, if you put a large pot there, it is estimated that it will not take long to feel tired, and even nausea.

In fact, the same is true for stewed cakes, the amount of three or five bites can be eaten, even if it is unpalatable, you can pass the task.

When this kind of time is not up or down, basically everyone will have the idea of having another bowl.

The task was naturally accomplished.

Put the four bowls of stewed cakes in the tray, and Xu Zhuo personally carried them upstairs.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Xu Zhuo heard Feng Weiguo, Zhao Jinma and Ji Wenxuan arguing loudly.

They are all northern chefs, and there are many overlaps in the skills they have learned, so it is not uncommon for them to have arguments.

"Honey is the representative dish of our Jin cuisine, when did it become your Lu cuisine?"

"This dish is beautiful, it is a typical palace cuisine, and it must be Lu cuisine. But...... Master Zhao, what are you coaxing?"

"Honey is Zhao Ji's signature dish, I naturally have to quarrel with you, Jimin, you can be fair, is this dish a Central Plains dish?"

"Second child, I'm Master Lu Cai, do you think I'll be towards you?"

......

Xu Zhuo, who was standing outside the door, was stunned, these old men were actually discussing honey and laughing, could it be ......

It's time to put this skill into play again?

I was in the hospital for a check-up this morning, and I had to go to the hospital later, and I made an appointment for an MRI at 12 o'clock in the evening to check the cervical spine and head, and it was not easy to come here, so if I want to do more examinations, I should buy peace of mind.

Tomorrow I will write sweets, sweets (?_?) that I will never be able to eat
