The sour soup fish made with Jiang Tuan is very tender, especially the meat on the belly, which is so tender that it cannot be picked up with chopsticks, and you need to scoop it with a spoon.

Xu Zhuo took the spoon and carefully scooped up a piece of meat on the belly of the fish and put it in the cocoa bowl, the girl immediately picked up the bowl, blew it twice, and then squinted and ate it in small bites.

The sour soup has a sweet aftertaste, which brings out the flavor of the fish, and the dipping water with chili peppers makes the fish even more delicious.

"In fact, when stewing fish in many regions in the north, vinegar is put in it, or it is made directly in vinegar, just to make the taste of the fish more delicious. ”

Yu Peiyong ate fish in sour soup and chatted with Xu Zhuo about the mystery of putting vinegar when cooking fish.

The old man served the old lady a bowl of sour soup, and then Yu Peiyong's words said: "The sour taste can indeed make the fish more delicious, and sweet and sour carp is a typical example." ”

However, compared with vinegar, the taste of sour soup is more mellow and delicious, especially after boiling the fish, it is really transparent after drinking, and I feel that my pores are all opened by this sour soup.

The old lady liked this sour soup very much, and after drinking a bowl, she was still a little unsatisfied, and took a spoon and filled half a bowl.

She took a sip while chatting with Yu Keke's grandmother about the New Year's arrangements.

The Yu family, like the Xu family, is a woman who coordinates the overall situation, and a man who implements specific actions.

Take this Chinese New Year as an example, needless to say, cooking or something, it's all a man's business, but what to eat and how to eat are all decided by the two old ladies.

Xu Zhuo didn't mix with these, and was wholeheartedly serving soup to Yu Cocoa.

Just now, Xu Wenhai showed a wave of affection, and the old man licked the old lady like a dog, which made Xu Zhuo quite stimulated.

And for the New Year, no matter what arrangements are made, he has no right to speak as a junior, just listen to what the old man says.

So in this mood, the only thing he can do is to comfort Yu Keke, who has worked hard recently, and by the way, let the middle-aged and elderly people sitting there feel the operation of young people showing affection.

It's a pity that Yu Keke is not in a state today, she is worried about the business of the online store, and she hurriedly eats and goes upstairs to continue her work, completely missing Xu Zhuo's intention to show affection.

Some failed......

Xu Zhuo also planned to work after he was full, but the old lady pulled him back to reality with a word.

"There are a lot of people for the New Year this year, Wenhai, you can buy two pig's heads and marinate them, and if you have any leftovers after the New Year, you can also use them to roll spring cakes. ”

In many areas in the north, there is a habit of eating pig's head meat, which is very delicious regardless of whether it is fried hot or cold, and it can be said to be a must-have dish for the New Year.

As soon as the old lady said this, Xu Zhuo remembered that he still had a skill of grilling whole pork that he had never used.

Since there is a pig's head during the Chinese New Year, you might as well make it for everyone to try and surprise your family.

In this way, it is natural that the store will be new after the new year.

In addition, when he made Huaiyang dishes in front of Yu Peiyong during the Chinese New Year, and it was this kind of finale, he would definitely be very happy.

And the old man, he shouldn't mind......

Right?

When he wanted to ask, he said that he was interested in grilled vegetables through green onion and lamb, so he secretly followed the tutorial to learn such a big hard dish.

Although grilled whole pork is a Huaiyang dish, the cooking skill of grilled pork originated from Lu cuisine, from this point of view, regardless of the apocrypty, maybe the old man is quite happy to see it.

"Dad, buy one more, I plan to burn a pig's head during the Chinese New Year. ”

As soon as these words were spoken, several old men all turned their faces and looked at Xu Zhuo suspiciously.

When I just said that I was arranging for the New Year, I didn't actually arrange anything for Xu Zhuo, and the old man Yu Peiyong, Xu Wenhai and even Wei Junming did all the cooking.

And Xu Zhuo and Yu Keke, as the only juniors, just wait for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner to collect the New Year's money.

Unexpectedly, this child actually took the initiative to ask Ying to cook, which is quite normal in the eyes of his family, because in their eyes, Xu Zhuo is a very sensible and obedient boy.

But the Xu family knows very well about Xu Zhuo's black history, and since he went to college, every Chinese New Year is like entering hibernation mode.

Except for eating and going to the toilet, the rest of the time is spent in his room, either sleeping or playing games, even if a relative comes to the door, he comes out to say hello and go back.

If the relatives brought their children, they locked the door and didn't come out until lunch.

Chen Guifang and Xu Wenhai felt that Xu Zhuo's big changes were brought about by Yu Keke, so they were even more satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

And Pang Lihua and Yu Chang thought that Xu Zhuo was so well-behaved and so diligent, and they had to arrange a job for their daughter when they turned around, so as not to be disliked by their in-laws.

But after thinking about it, she couldn't find any job suitable for Coco, she didn't know anything about cooking, and she didn't know anything about buying New Year's goods, and this job was in the Yangtze River.

If Yu Keke is allowed to do it, Yu Changjiang will become an idle person.

So in the end, the old lady made an arrangement: "There may be many guests at home in two days, and the bear cub is easy to be infected with germs at home, so let Coco help me take care of the bear cub, she and the cat also have a good temper, and it shouldn't be difficult to get along." ”

The old lady is telling the truth, the bear cub is her favorite, and she is well-known on Weibo, and the guests who come to the house are estimated to have two strokes.

This will inadvertently increase the risk of infection with germs, especially those who have pets at home, and it is easy to form cross-infection.

And cats like to be quiet and don't like to be lively, but during the Chinese New Year, people keep coming and going, so it is a very good choice to let the bear cub move to the suite where Xu Zhuo lives.

In this way, the arrangements for the New Year are considered appropriate.

On the twenty-fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the express delivery was suspended, Yu Keke could finally take a rest, she took the bear cub to her home, and then started the life of chasing cats and dramas.

However, in addition to resting, this girl was not idle, she figured out a pre-sale activity of "New Year's gifts and spring promotion" according to the activities carried out by other online stores, so that she could collect funds in advance and seize the opportunity.

In order to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm to participate in the event, Yu Keke asked Xu Zhuo, Meng Liwei, Zhou Wen and other anchors with good relationships to record a New Year's greeting video and send it to the customer groups of Weibo and online stores, which surprised everyone.

In addition, when she was idle at home, she took a few more VLOGs about Bear Cub and posted them on Weibo and Station B, which further increased Bear Cub's fans, and by the way, she did a wave of online store promotion.

even asked Zhou Wen, Meng Liwei, and Li Hao to do a live broadcast after the year, and let the bear cub appear on the camera at that time, so as to increase the popularity and sales of the online store as soon as possible.

This series of plans, along with pre-sale events, allowed the random tasks that helped Coco find a job to be completed ahead of schedule.

"Congratulations to the host for completing the random task [Help Coco find a job] in advance, and receive the reward of upgrading any C-level dish to B-level, please choose the host. ”

A bunch of options for existing C-level dishes appeared below, all of which were dishes that had made great contributions in the store before, and Xu Zhuo didn't choose which one was better to upgrade after looking at it for a long time.

Upgrading dishes is not a simple matter, especially from C level to B level, which requires a lot of dish experience, and whether it can be successful in the end depends on fame.

According to the rules of the system, B-level cuisine is the representative dish of various local cuisines, at least it must be famous in the whole province, and the difficulty is not ordinarily high.

Xu Zhuo watched it for a long time, and finally chose the white meat of Li Zhuang in Sichuan cuisine.

This dish has won a lot of praise for Xu Zhuo when he was in Linping City, and after coming to the provincial capital, he was also praised by many diners.

So Xu Zhuo felt that he would upgrade again and see what surprises B-grade Li Zhuang white meat would bring him.

After selecting Li Zhuang's white meat, a white light flashed immediately, and then the name of the dish became ......

Big knife white meat!

Tsk, change the name once you upgrade, this dish is really lively.

However, the name Dadao White Meat is indeed more domineering, at least stronger than Li Zhuang White Meat, because there are always customers who associate the stalk of superficial brothers, which leads to not ordering this dish when dining with classmates, which feels unlucky.

Now that the name has been changed, sales should increase by a wave, right?

After the dishes arrived, Xu Zhuoding didn't rush to do it, and now the business of the restaurant is so good that even Guan Junjie has started to cook, and there is no time to discuss new dishes.

Therefore, everything can only be said after the year, and when the spring season comes, slowly push out the new dishes that are now mastered, which is the way of business in the catering industry.

And now, it's better to cook honestly.

After a busy day, Xu Zhuo dragged his tired body home, and the bear cub lay on the sofa as usual to watch TV with Yu Keke.

Occasionally, a small animal appears in the picture, and the thing stands up and lets out a low roar, which is quite a declaration of sovereignty.

Xu Zhuo changed his shoes and sat on the sofa, and the bear boy immediately jumped on his leg obediently and began to massage, but his eyes were staring directly at Xu Zhuo's down jacket pocket......

"Okay, okay, take it out and give it to eat, I haven't eaten for a day, I'm just waiting for you to bring meat to it." ”

Yu Keke reached out and took out a plastic bag from the pocket of Xu Zhuo's down jacket, which contained a piece of cooked beef.

Since Xu Zhuo came home two days ago and brought a piece of meat to make supper, this cat has become much more attentive.

The braised beef that is usually used in the store is not suitable for bears because of the oil and salt seasoning, so I let it taste a small piece that day.

From the next day, Xu Zhuo would cook a piece of beef in water every day, and take it home to improve the life of the gluttonous cat when it was cold.

After the beef was taken out, the bear cub took it aside and ate it, Xu Zhuo looked at the series of New Year's greeting messages on his mobile phone, and his expression was very emotional.

"Tomorrow will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, and time flies so fast. Tomorrow you prepare some red envelopes and send them to the staff in the store, there will be no holidays in the store this year, don't let them be dissatisfied. ”

Employees are dissatisfied with the boss in two situations, the first is that they have been wronged, and the second is that they have not given enough money.

In the past year, Xu Zhuo has not let employees be wronged, and even beat people for employees, and now he is taking advantage of the New Year to send a red envelope to thank everyone for their hard work in the past year.

"You can't just send it, why do you let me send it?"

Yu Keke was a little puzzled and didn't understand what Xu Zhuo meant.

"After a year, you will officially become the general manager of the sales department, and this red envelope can increase everyone's impression of you. ”

Sifang Restaurant plans to set up a sales department independent of the finance department, service department and kitchen department, and fully take over all online business and online publicity work.

Although this matter has not been announced yet, Xu Zhuo himself decided to push Yu Keke to the front of the stage.

Well, instead of failing to do nothing in school, it is better to give full play to your expertise, and after these days of observation, Yu Coco is very suitable for the work of the sales department.

So at the beginning of the next semester, Yu Coco Children's Shoes will take a long vacation.

"Alas, people say that I am a rich second generation, but in fact, I am just a poor little who dropped out of school and was forced to work in order to live......"

After Yu Keke finished sighing, he took his mobile phone and sent a circle of friends: "I accidentally became the general manager of the sales department of Sifang Restaurant, please call me Mr. Yu [proud] [proud] [proud] [proud]"

On the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at Sifang Restaurant had already been booked, not only the private rooms were booked, but even the tables in the lobby were also booked.

The employees in the store, except for Shi Lei, who followed Feng Weiguo and Feng Chunguang's family to Weinan for the New Year, everyone else was on duty.

After breakfast, Yu Keke carried a handbag and handed out red envelopes to the employees of the store one by one, and said some words of blessing by the way.

After finishing her work, she sat on Xu Clumsy's Mercedes-Benz and went to the old lady's house with the bear cub in her arms.

The streets are filled with the atmosphere of the New Year, although fireworks are prohibited, but everywhere is full of lights, and the bear cub is full of doubts, and I don't understand why there are so many red things.

Coming to the old lady's house, Wei Junming and Yao Meixiang have arrived, and the women are chatting about beauty-related topics in the living room, and the men are crowded in the kitchen preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Yes, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner begins early in the morning, and many families are like this.

In fact, this meal began to be prepared a week ago, such as soaking sea cucumber dried abalone maw or something, which needs to be carried out in advance.

After Xu Zhuo said hello to the elders, he took off his down jacket and rolled up his sleeves and joined the cooking team.

However, he only cooked one dish today, so in order not to affect the performance of several chefs, Xu Zhuo came to the upstairs suite with a pig's head and cooking utensils.

There is also a stove here, although no one usually cooks, but the nanny will come to clean it from time to time, and it does not affect the use at all.

And cooking downstairs, every move is watched by four top chefs, to be honest, it's quite stressful.

Therefore, Xu Zhuo came upstairs to cook on the grounds that he did not occupy the stove, so as to bring surprise and shocking effects.

And Xu Zhuoguang said that he wanted to roast the pig's head, but he didn't say that he was grilling the whole pork, I believe that after it is served, it will surprise everyone.

After all, not to mention anything else about this dish, it is not easy to debone a pig's head, and it is necessary to keep the pig's head intact after it is done, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

After setting up the kitchen utensils, Xu Zhuo took a sharp knife and tweezers and began to clean up the pig's head.

Although this thing has been depilated when I bought it, it is not completely complete, and it has to be cleaned again.

Especially in the pig's ears and eye sockets, there are miscellaneous hairs, which must be cleaned carefully.

In addition, the nostrils and mouth of the pig must also be cleaned repeatedly to avoid eating the pig's saliva and snot.

This dish is very labor-intensive, even if you go all out to make it, it will take you half a day, so in Yangzhou, if you want to eat this dish, you have to make a reservation in advance.

Xu Zhuo sighed while cleaning up, it is said that the person who invented this dish was a monk of the Qing Dynasty, which is really unexpected.

It is probably the charm of food that can break the vows of monks who are empty of the four major voids.
