Mission Title: Saving Endangered Dishes (1)

Mission Details: Ask the host to try their best to promote the honey and smile, so that within a month, at least ten restaurants will launch this new dish, at least 100 people will cook this dish, and at least 1,000 people will eat this dish.

Quest Rewards and Punishments: Once all three values are met, the host will receive the C-level signature practice of Honey Smile, as well as a high-quality tutorial that can be used to teach cooking.

If the three values are doubled, the rewards obtained by the host will also be upgraded, such as reaching 20 new restaurants, 200 people will be able to do it, 2,000 people will have eaten, and the host will get B-level signature skills and D-level tutorials for cooking teaching.

And so on, when 40 restaurants are new, 400 people can do it, 4,000 people have eaten, and the host will get A-level signature skills and C-level tutorials for cooking teaching.

If the mission fails, the host will lose a random cooking skill, and the honey smile dessert will disappear faster.

After watching this task, Xu Zhuo couldn't help but sigh.

This task is really good, the difficulty is not very great, but the reward is very powerful, of course, if you fail, the punishment is hard enough.

Typical risks coexist with opportunities.

Relatively speaking, Xu Zhuo still prefers random tasks, although the difficulty is higher, but there is no punishment.

This made him feel like he encountered additional questions during the exam, and if he succeeded, it was an unexpected joy, and there was no loss if he failed.

It can be said that there is no psychological pressure at all.

At this time, Xu Zhuo's attention was not on this at all, because when he saw the A-grade dishes, he was fascinated by these words.

It's been so long, and I haven't seen A-grade dishes, so can't I have a chance to get in touch this time?

In addition, if there are 80 new restaurants, 800 people can cook it, and 8,000 people have eaten this dish, in this case, what kind of reward will the system give?

Xu Zhuo was a little expectant, but thinking about the difficulty of this, he shook his head wisely and didn't let himself fall into conjecture.

Well, let's pay attention to the honey in front of you and laugh first, daydreaming or something, and then do it when you're not busy.

Thanks to the existence of the skill of [Concentrate on Learning], the high-quality practice of honey and laughter has just arrived, but Xu Zhuo still thinks that it is more interesting to watch others do it.

Break the red dates, carefully stuff a small ball of rice flour dough, and squeeze it again, so that the white glutinous rice dough will squeeze out a little bit from the cracks of the red dates, and it looks like a smiling face.

This is where the name "open smile" comes from.

In fact, there are quite a few delicacies called "Kaixiao", and almost all the delicacies that will crack after cooking have a nickname for Kaixiao, such as the famous Cantonese tea barbecued pork bun.

Because there are more ingredients to prepare, and the people in the back kitchen are not busy at this time, Xu Zhuo asked everyone to help make it, and by the way, he also learned from a few masters.

It's a rare opportunity for two State Chefs and two Master Chefs to cook together, and it's rewarding to share a little bit of experience and know-how.

Among the four old men, except for the old man who has been fishing and paddling, the other three people seem to have the same approach, but there are actually differences.

For example, Feng Weiguo stuffed a lot of glutinous rice dough into jujubes, probably because Shanxi people love to eat pasta, so when stuffing glutinous rice dough into jujubes, try to stuff as much as possible.

And Zhao Jinma is different, he specially picks a relatively large red date to make.

The reason for this choice is that Xu Zhuo estimated that in the early years, people in the Central Plains lived poorly, but they loved face, so they liked to use "big" to talk about pomp.

Eating large pieces of meat, drinking large bowls of wine, and living in a big house must reveal the "big" pride everywhere, so the red dates are naturally bigger and more pompous.

Compared with Zhao Jinma and Feng Weiguo's approach to local conditions, Ji Wenxuan's approach is much more high-end.

Each jujube is carefully selected, full and round, red and bright in color, without any flaws.

And when stuffing glutinous rice dough, the knife edge left by the core will be trimmed with a knife, so that the knife edge shows a slightly curved arc, so that it will look more like a smiling face.

The whole process reveals the unique delicacy and delicacy of Lu cuisine.

After Xu Zhuo looked at it for a while, he also followed suit, and at the same time was thinking about completing the task.

It is not difficult to get ten restaurants to launch a new dish, Sifang Restaurant, Xujia Restaurant, Mongolian Restaurant, Lao Meng Self-service Hot Pot and Zhao Ji Private Cuisine, these restaurants are together, and ten stores are proper.

As for the fact that 1,000 people have eaten this, it is not difficult, and a half-price promotion will definitely make the task properly completed.

However, a hundred people can do it, which is a bit difficult, because this is not just a matter of finding a hundred people who can do it, but Xu Zhuo through his own behavior, so that a hundred people can learn the dessert of honey and laughter.

You have to think about it and see how to do it.

Although the task is a month, there is not much room, because the Spring Festival is next, everyone is busy at home for the New Year, but few people can cook.

After all the jujubes are sandwiched with glutinous rice dough, the next step begins—cooking.

In fact, this step can also be carried out by steaming, but steamed jujubes are easy to crack and break the skin, and they don't look good, so under normal circumstances, everyone still prefers to use the way of boiling.

Moreover, the boiled jujube has sufficient moisture, the meat is delicate, and the color is red and bright, which will greatly improve both the appearance and taste.

As for whether the glutinous rice dough will be boiled out when cooking, there is no need to worry about this, because the glutinous rice is very sticky, and it will only be more firmly combined with the red dates during the cooking process, and will not be scattered in the water.

When cooking, the three of them use different methods.

Feng Weiguo used water with white sugar, red dates in a pot under cold water, and boiled until it floated.

Zhao Jinma is a pot under warm water, no sugar is put in the pot, and the sweetness comes from the last honey.

The most particular thing is Ji Wenxuan, first boil the brown sugar with a little water, then pour it into the warm water next to it, stir well and put in the red dates.

He said that boiling the jujube first can make the bitterness evaporate, and the rest is all the sweetness of sucrose, and then boiling the jujube in brown sugar water will make the color of the jujube more beautiful.

Xu Zhuo didn't know if the red dates had become beautiful, he only knew that this practice was quite frustrating.

Lu cuisine is not good at this, many dishes are tossed for the sake of tossing, in the Lu cuisine that Xu Zhuo touched, in fact, many cumbersome steps can be removed.

After the water in the pot is boiling, use a spoon to push the red dates at the bottom of the pot, and then turn on low heat to keep the water slightly boiling.

It must be on low heat to cook the jujube thoroughly, and it can also keep the jujube skin intact in shape and color.

Taking advantage of this time, the three old men began to boil honey, because the kitchen stove has a limit, and only the chef can do it.

The apprentices couldn't continue to learn, so they took out their mobile phones one after another, filmed the process of boiling the honey of the masters, and turned it out to ponder it again when they were fine.

Because Xu Zhuo already had the sugar sticky skill in his hand, and the level was not low, he didn't continue to look at it, but walked to the side and looked at his phone intently, hoping to find a breakthrough to complete the task.

Unexpectedly, he really found it.

Approaching the end of the year, almost all platforms have launched activities to make Chinese New Year's Eve dinners, aiming to call on young people to go into the kitchen and make a good dish to treat their parents and elders.

Seeing this, Xu Zhuo had an idea.

Through his own influence, he can push up the popularity of this kind of activity, and teach everyone to make honey and laugh by the way.

This dish is perfectly in line with the theme of the reunion year in terms of appearance, plating, taste, meaning, and top, and it is relatively easy to start.

Even the most difficult sugar boiling step is very simple, as long as you concentrate on it, almost anyone can make this dish well.

However, if this reason alone is used, the most that can be done can be met by the person who did it, and as for at least 1,000 people who have eaten and at least 10 new restaurants have to be reopened, it has to be considered from other aspects.

Xu Zhuo went for the A-level signature dish this time, and even wanted to see what the reward above the A-level was, so he was more serious about this task.

It doesn't matter if you can get it or not, the important thing is to go all out in the face of this opportunity, so that no matter whether you succeed or not, you will not have regrets in your heart.

"How can we get people to be interested in the dish from the bottom of their hearts, rather than relying on the popularity of the moment and then disappearing quickly. ”

Xu Zhuo rubbed his temples, his mind full of this question, and it wasn't until Feng Weiguo smiled in front of him with a small bowl of honey that he realized that everyone had done it all.

The waiter is serving out bowl by bowl, after all, it is the master's shot, just so that everyone can taste this taste. On this cold day, you have to eat sweets to replenish calories, and red dates replenish qi and blood, so the girls in the store should eat more.

"Xiao Zhuo, I made this bowl, how does it taste if you taste it. ”

Feng Weiguo looked like he was waiting for a compliment, which made Xu Zhuo, who originally wanted to make a perfunctory sentence, suddenly embarrassed.

The boiled open smile is very beautiful, the red jujubes, the white raw glutinous rice balls, and the pale yellow honey make this dessert not only beautiful, but also add a bit of festive taste out of thin air.

is worthy of being the protagonist of the wedding banquet in the past, and it is indeed beautiful enough.

Xu Zhuo scooped a red date with a smiling face with a spoon, put it to his mouth and blew it, then put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

The flesh of the jujube has become completely soft, but it has not become sparse, but gives people a glutinous feeling.

With the unique sweetness of red dates, people immediately feel that they are in a boundless sea of sweetness.

Moreover, the sweetness will give people a feeling of happiness and pleasure, so when you eat it, your mood will start to be happy unconsciously, and the worries that have been accumulated in your heart will become less important.

As for the glutinous rice dough inside, although it has no taste and tastes sticky and soft, it looks perfect when paired with red dates.

In traditional dishes, the combination of food has gone through a long experiment, and the ancestors have done a lot of research on how to match each dish.

Take this honey smile as an example, glutinous rice is a crop in the south, and there are not many areas where it is grown in the north, so it is said that this dish should be made with rhubarb rice ground flour.

But the northerners resolutely chose glutinous rice flour, the reason is that glutinous rice flour is more delicious, and the match with jujube is more perfect.

After eating the jujubes, Xu Zhuo scooped up some shredded honey with a spoon, and asked Feng Weiguo curiously: "Put osmanthus nectar?"

Feng Weiguo stroked his beard and said: "Yes, I put osmanthus nectar, osmanthus nectar can make the sweetness of jujube richer and give people a sense of luxury." ”

It's really a person who messes around with young people all day long, and he even said the word "luxury".

Xu Zhuo tasted it, the soup was not very sweet, but the taste and texture were all just right.

If you use delicate tableware and shoot it with a large-aperture lens, it will be a proper high-end dessert.

It's really an interesting dessert, no wonder the system saves it first, this dish does have a lot of extraordinary.

However, the disadvantages are also obvious, the overall is too sweet, too high in calories, and not suitable for people who are losing weight.

The most important point is...... There are so many desserts to choose from now, and compared to Western desserts and Cantonese desserts, this honey sauce is not delicate enough to smile, and the appearance is too traditional.

The more he observed, the more Xu Zhuo felt that the task was difficult, because this dish really did not meet the aesthetic needs of contemporary young people.

"In the early years, if you could eat honey and laugh, you would really wake up with a smile in your dreams. When I ate it to a wedding banquet, this dish was sold out as soon as it was served, and even the plates were rushed to lick ......"

Feng Weiguo sat next to Xu Zhuo, his face full of remembrance of the past.

He even talked about some things when he was just an apprentice, and was beaten by his master for stealing this sweet dish in the back kitchen.

In this atmosphere, Xu Zhuo seems to have returned to the era of material scarcity in the past, with sweet red dates, soft glutinous rice balls, and honey juice sticky to the silks, so that everyone can't help but swallow saliva when they see it.

"Brother Feng, why did you suddenly become sentimental today? Today is the first time I've heard you talk about the past, you go on......"

When Feng Weiguo was talking energetically, Zhao Jinma walked over with half a bowl of honey he made and smiled, naturally he also wanted to praise him.

However, after listening to Dong Weiguo's words, his face was full of emotion, obviously, he also thought of those things in the past.

Feng Weiguo thought that Zhao Jinma was sarcastic about his hypocrisy, and said with a stalk around his neck: "What is wrong with me? I don't just say it, I want to say it in Xiao Meng's live broadcast room......

As soon as he shouted like this, he immediately gave Xu Zhuo a line of thought.

"That's right! Go directly to the live broadcast, let a few old people tell some stories about laughing with honey, the popularity and depth are all there, and the task will naturally be completed. ”

Xu Zhuo rubbed his hands excitedly when he thought of this, and he couldn't wait to start the live broadcast now.

But in the end, he held back, because this matter had to be planned carefully, and he couldn't rush it.

In addition, before the live broadcast starts, you have to find a way to set off the heat of this honey laugh a little, so that everyone knows what this thing is first, and then it can be better sensational...... Ahem, better storytelling.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhuo took out his mobile phone and called Meng Liwei.

"Not interested in eating sweets on the live stream? I'm going to treat you to a pot...... But first of all, I'm not responsible if I have diabetes. ”
