Was fired and opened a gourmet food store

A girl with bangs came in, followed by a companion with twin ponytails.

When they came in, they first looked around curiously, taking in the layout of the new store.

When they saw Xu Ziqi coming out of the kitchen, they walked over again.

When Xu Ziqi saw the two girls coming in, he also went to greet them.

"Xiaoxue, Tingting, you are here." Xu Ziqi greeted them with a smile.

The two girls were the first customers of the old "Food Paradise" when it opened.

The girl with bangs was called Xiaoxue, and the girl with twin ponytails was called Tingting.

They were also fans No. 1 and No. 2 in the customer group.

"Well, senior, are we open now?" asked the girl with bangs.

Through the previous chat, the two girls also knew that Xu Ziqi graduated from Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School.

Then they stopped calling him boss and just called him senior.

After all, they had come to buy buns so many times, and everyone was very familiar with each other.

"Well, the buns and porridge are ready."

Xu Ziqi nodded and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"Senior, I saw you say in the group that there are new products. What are they?"

Xu Ziqi listed them all, "For buns, there are red bean buns, custard buns, spicy vermicelli buns, tofu buns and barbecued pork buns."

"And for porridge, there are Tremella and lotus seed porridge, mung bean porridge, yam and pork rib porridge and egg and beef porridge."

"What are tofu buns?"

Hearing the answer, the girl with twin ponytails asked in confusion, "Are they buns made of tofu?"

"Yes, they are made of tofu and vermicelli." Xu Ziqi replied.

"Is it spicy?"

"A little bit spicy."

"Hmm..." The girl with the ponytails thought for a moment, "Then give me a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, two tofu buns, and two beef buns."

"Okay." Xu Ziqi nodded, and asked the girl with bangs, "Xiaoxue, what do you want to eat?"

The girl with bangs replied, "I want a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, two barbecued pork buns, and two custard buns."

"Okay, then you come here to order."

After that, Xu Ziqi led the two girls to the ordering counter.

The twin sisters also started working.

After a while.

Huilai Rice received 17 yuan.

Huilai Rice received 15 yuan.

"Hold it, the porridge is a little hot, be careful." Liu Zijin reminded.

The two girls nodded, "Well, thank you sister."

"You're welcome."

After paying, the two girls found a seat with the tray.

"I haven't eaten tofu buns yet, Xiaoxue, have you eaten them?"

Putting the tray away, the girl with the ponytails asked.

"No."

The girl with the bangs replied, "I'm a little surprised that tofu can be made into buns."

"Yeah, I think it's strange too."

Nodding, the girl with the ponytails asked again, "Don't you think it's a dark dish?"

The girl with the bangs thought for a moment, "It shouldn't be, the dishes in the senior's store are all delicious, he wouldn't sell them if he didn't have confidence."

"Besides, you can tell after you try it?"

"Well, I'll try it."

After saying that, the girl with the ponytails picked up a tofu bun.

Well, it feels soft and a little bit DuangDuang.

It's very fun.

Gently break the bun skin, and the filling inside is also revealed.

The red one is vermicelli, which looks very shiny.

The white one is tofu, with a faint red oil floating on it.

The red and white complement each other, oily and bright red, and look very appetizing.

It looks good!

Swallowing her saliva, the girl with twin ponytails broke off a part of the bun and put it into her mouth.

Chewing gently.

Well, the bun skin is fluffy and soft, and the filling is spicy and delicious.

Especially the tofu, which is smooth and chewy, and there is a faint juice bursting out.

It is really delicious.

Close your eyes and slowly enjoy this delicacy from heaven, and the girl feels a little strange in her heart.

Why does this tofu taste so good?

And it is not fishy at all.

And why is this oil so fragrant?

The answer is:

Xu Ziqi chose old tofu.

Before making the filling, steam the tofu for 15 minutes, wait until the tofu heart is hot before taking it out, cut it into small cubes, and add vermicelli, minced ginger, chopped green onions, chili powder and pepper powder.

As for the oil.

He heats the pan with cold oil, then adds star anise, cinnamon, cardamom and bay leaves.

Then he slowly fries over low heat until the aroma of the spices is fully soaked into the oil.

After the spices are fried, pour them into the fillings and stir evenly.

Finally, add salt and chicken essence to season.

As for why oil is poured first and then seasoning.

This is to lock in the moisture in the tofu.

This makes it more tender and fragrant.

"Xiaoxue, this tofu bun is delicious."

The girl with twin ponytails finished a bite of the bun, said excitedly to her companion.

But her companion ignored her.

Because she was immersed in the deliciousness of another bun.

The bun that Xiaoxue was eating was called barbecued pork bun, which is one of the four famous snacks of Cantonese morning tea.

The other three are shrimp dumplings, steamed siu mai and egg tarts.

As the name suggests, barbecued pork buns are filled with barbecued pork.

To make barbecued pork filling, you need to use high-quality pork belly.

For marinating, you need to add white sugar, salt, chicken powder, oyster sauce, barbecued pork sauce, and dark soy sauce.

White sugar is for flavor, oyster sauce is for freshness, and dark soy sauce is for coloring.

As for barbecued pork sauce, it is to make the meat more tender and smooth.

And this barbecued pork sauce is specially configured by Xu Ziqi according to the system formula.

It can also be said to be the soul of this barbecued pork bun.

The marinated pork belly should be put in the oven to bake.

During the baking process, the barbecued pork oil will also come out, so it will not be too greasy to eat.

After the barbecued pork is roasted, it should be cut into small strips.

The next step is to make the barbecued pork sauce.

Add water to the pot, add salt, sugar, chicken powder and barbecued pork sauce.

After the water boils, add starch and stir.

The barbecued pork sauce made in this way is tender and smooth.

Wait until the barbecued pork sauce becomes semi-paste, then dry it.

After drying, mix the barbecued pork sauce and barbecued pork in a ratio of one to one.

This delicious barbecued pork stuffing is ready.

…

The girl with bangs is savoring the delicious food in her mouth.

The barbecued pork bun in her mouth has a fluffy and delicious skin, and the filling is smooth and fragrant.

Accompanied by honey juice, it tastes lightly sweet.

It's delicious!

"Tingting, this barbecued pork bun is so delicious." After eating a bite of the bun, the girl with bangs said excitedly to her companion.

"I see." The girl with the ponytails said helplessly, "You ignored me when I called you just now."

"Hehe."

The girl with the bangs smiled, looked at the tofu bun that had been bitten, and asked, "How is your tofu bun? Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious."

"Hmm..."

After thinking for a while, the girl with the bangs suggested, "How about we take turns eating? I'll give you a barbecued pork bun and you'll give me a tofu bun, how about that?"

"Sure." The girl with the ponytails nodded, "I just want to try yours."

So the two girls exchanged the buns in their hands.

After a while.

"Wow, this barbecued pork bun is delicious."

"This tofu bun is not bad either."

"What about the custard bun? Try it."

"Hmm, this one is also delicious, soft and fluffy, sweet and fragrant."

"Wow, give me one too."

"Exchange it with a beef bun."

"Okay, here you go."
