Chapter 1141

? In fact, the cooking of anchovies is not complicated, just steam it - in fact, the top ingredients do not have so many complicated processes in cooking, and returning to the basics of cooking can highlight the deliciousness of the ingredients themselves.

Xia Ruofei entrusted Wu Xiujuan to remove the gills and internal organs of the shad. After the treatment, Xia Ruofei put the shad into boiling water to remove the fishy smell.

Then Xia Ruofei spread the ham slices, mushroom slices, bamboo shoots and other accessories on the fish, and then added cooked lard, sugar, refined salt, dried shrimp, cooking wine, chicken soup and other seasonings.

After doing this, Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "It's alright, just put it on the steamer and steam it for 20 minutes, and then you can serve it directly. Sister-in-law, just pay attention to the timing, and put it on the steamer after the guests arrive."

"It's that simple?" Wu Xiujuan asked in surprise.

"Of course! Anchovy itself is an excellent delicacy, and it doesn't require so many complicated cooking skills!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Then I'll leave it to you here?"

"Okay!" Wu Xiujuan said quickly, "Boss, go get busy!"

Xia Ruofei nodded and walked out of the kitchen. When he went out, he heard Wu Xiujuan whispering the key words of "steaming with fire and steaming" and "20 minutes" in a low voice. He couldn't help but look back at Wu Xiujuan with a smile, and then walked out of the kitchen.

Zhao Yongjun and others came very early. Xia Ruofei came out of the kitchen and just sat down on the rattan chair under the eaves in the backyard for a while, when he heard Song Rui's snoring outside the door.

"If Fei, open the door, open the door!"

Xia Ruofei got up with a smile, and clicked on a control panel not far behind, and the backyard door for vehicles to enter and exit slowly opened.

There are many such control panels installed in the courtyard, and each panel has an LCD screen, so that no matter where the homeowner is, he can easily check who the visitor is and control the opening and closing of the courtyard door.

Three cars filed in, Wu Qiang hurried over and directed the car to park in the parking space on the side of the yard.

Zhao Yongjun, Song Rui, Hou Liang and others all got out of the car, and many of Xia Ruofei's brothers in the capital came.

And Xia Ruofei was a little surprised to see that Zhuo Yiyi actually came, and he came with Song Rui in a car.

Did the two finally make substantial progress? Xia Ruofei couldn't help but take a deep look at Song Rui and Zhuo Yiyi.

This is also a pair of living treasures. Zhuo Yiyi is a little nervous in the relationship between men and women. Song Rui is so obvious to her, and everyone around them knows it well, but she just regards Song Rui as a male best friend; The number one dandy master in the capital turned into an innocent boy after meeting Zhuo Yiyi, and his ability to pursue girls was directly reduced to a negative number. The relationship between the two was always kept at a very awkward distance, even Xia Ruofei and Xia Ruofei, who were outsiders. Zhao Yongjun and others couldn't help worrying about them.

"Boss Xia, I'm here to have a meal, okay?" Zhuo Yiyi asked carelessly.

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "How can there be any opinions? The beauty of Zhuo is willing to admire her face, I am too late to be happy! As long as you are willing, come every day..."

When Xia Ruofei said this, he felt Song Rui's eyes that wanted to kill, and immediately changed his words: "I don't mind if I come to eat with Song Rui every day!"

"Can talk!" Zhuo Yiyi said happily.

Xia Ruofei greeted Zhao Yongjun, Hou Liang, Wei Jun and others one by one and welcomed them into the restaurant in the backyard.

When Wu Xiujuan in the kitchen saw the guests coming, she immediately put the shad that Xia Ruofei had prepared into the steamer and started steaming it vigorously.

For some other dishes, some are already simmering and can be served at any time, and some have already prepared the ingredients and can be fried immediately.

Xia Xiaolan also went over to help, and the kitchen was in full swing.

Wu Qiang followed everyone to the restaurant and helped Xia Ruofei greet the guests.

After everyone was seated, Wu Qiang went over to open a drink.

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "I prepared a bottle of semillon today, which is exclusive to women, and men drink white, no problem?"

"Listen to you!" Song Rui said, "Anyway, we don't plan to leave today, we can open up and drink!"

"No problem! Don't get drunk tonight!" Xu Zixuan also said with a smile.

"Refreshing!" Xia Ruofei gave a thumbs up, and then said to Wu Qiang, "Wu Qiang, all men use white wine, give each of them a small pot, and everyone manages their own wine, fair and just!"

"okay!"

Xia Ruofei looked at Zhuo Yiyi again and asked, "Yiyi, is it okay for you to drink white wine? If you can't drink, I have prepared juice here."

"Drink some! You all drink, it's such a disappointment for me to drink juice alone!" Zhuo Yiyi said.

"Courageous!" Xia Ruofei praised.

Soon everyone was pouring wine, and there were several plates of cold dishes on the table. Wu Qiang ran to the kitchen again, and soon one or two hot dishes were also served.

Xia Ruofei raised his cup and said, "Come, come! Today our brothers are rarely together again, and there is a beautiful lady Zhuo to join us. Let's have a drink together first!"

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

There were bursts of laughter in the backyard dining room.

After eating for a while, Wu Qiang brought a large plate, which was filled with steamed anchovies.

When Xia Ruofei saw it, he immediately put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "Come on, everyone, try this dish, I made it myself!"

"I'm going, shad!" Song Rui still knew the goods.

He was the first to stretch out his chopsticks, grab a piece of meat near the fish maw, and put a large piece of fish skin and scales into Zhuo Yiyi's bowl diligently.

Song Rui said: "Yiyi, try it now! This is a wild Yangtze shad, which is hard to eat now... By the way, don't lose the fish scales! This is the most delicious part of the shad, it is nourishing And beauty."

After steaming, the fish scales of the shad were all softened and turned into a gelatinous substance. The taste of the accessories such as bamboo shoots and mushroom slices also penetrated into the interior, and the taste was quite delicious.

"Can fish scales be eaten?" Zhuo Yiyi looked at Song Rui in disbelief, "You didn't mean to tease me, did you?"

Song Rui couldn't help laughing and crying, and said, "If you can't eat this, can Ruofei keep it? You'll know after you taste it! Such a fish costs thousands of yuan! You can't eat it normally..."

"So expensive?" Zhuo Yiyi couldn't help taking a breath after hearing this.

Her monthly salary is only five or six thousand, even if she doesn't eat or drink, is she enough to buy such a fish?

Thinking of this, Zhuo Yiyi couldn't help but give birth to the idea of ​​"people are more popular than dead people".

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Yiyi, the scales of shad are edible. Su Shi, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, once called shad 'Xi-scale fish'!"

Zhuo Yiyi nodded and said, "Well! I still believe what Boss Xia said..."

Song Rui almost hit his head on the table, why do I say you don't believe it, Xia Ruofei's two words are light and fluttering, at most Su Shi is added in it, you will believe it immediately? Is your buddy so untrustworthy in your eyes?

Xia Ruofei held back a smile and greeted: "Everyone, don't be polite! Hurry up and try it!"

After Zhuo Yiyi took a bite, he immediately said, "It's so delicious!"

Seeing this, Song Rui hurriedly grabbed in front of Hou Liang again, took another piece of the maw of another shad, put it in Zhuo Yiyi's bowl, and said, "Eat more if you like..."

Zhuo Yiyi said a little embarrassedly: "Don't give me a bite, everyone didn't eat much!"

The size of shad is generally not large, and the three of them add up to less than two pounds. So many people eat them together. If anyone eats more, then someone will definitely not be able to eat them.

Song Rui said carelessly: "It's okay, I'll give you my share!"

"Enough buddy!" Zhuo Yiyi said.

Xia Ruofei almost couldn't help laughing, co-authoring Song Rui for so long, but he still couldn't get rid of his status as a good buddy!

After Zhao Yongjun, Xu Zixuan and others tried it, they were naturally full of praise.

Zhao Yongjun said: "Ruofei, after our Taoyuan Club opens, Ling Ji's Buddha Jumps over the Wall and this steamed shad, must be the signature dishes!"

These two top-level delicacies are still very attractive even to high-minded people like Zhao Yongjun.

Song Rui also said on the side: "There is also the drunken Eight Immortals that we are drinking today that cannot be bought in the market. It is best to make some. At that time, we will divide the members into several grades. This kind of drunken Eight Immortals wine has only the highest level. members can enjoy it!”

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Hey! I didn't expect Xiao Rui to make a lot of progress now! He's quite business-minded..."

Song Rui said proudly, "This young master is very talented, isn't it? It's just that I didn't study it seriously before!"

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Don't worry! Although the output of these drunken eight immortals is extremely low, it is no problem to supply some of them to Taoyuan! As for Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, although the ingredients used are precious, they are all available in the market; this Yangtze River Shad, more than 10% of our Taoyuan Company’s monthly output is supplied to Lingji Catering Group, and Taoyuan Club’s restaurants will definitely have this signature dish!”

"That's great!" Zhao Yongjun said happily, "Just relying on these two dishes and the drunken Eight Immortals that Xiao Rui said, I'm afraid we can attract many more members!"

"There are other projects we designed, which are definitely first-class in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area!" Xu Zixuan said with a smile, "Our club is still under construction, and many friends have recently asked me when the membership will be opened. Eligibility to apply..."

"Haha!" Xia Ruofei raised his glass and said, "Then everyone has to have a drink, for the success of the Taoyuan Club!"

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

Xia Ruofei raised his head and drank a glass of white wine, then wiped his mouth with a small towel, and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't paid attention to our Taoyuan Club for a long time. How is the construction now?"

Song Rui said angrily, "You know it too! You've been exhausted by leaving our brothers in the capital, and your kid will go all over the world! I heard from Big Brother Zhao that you want to go to Italy?"

"Business! Business!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

"Xiao Rui, although Ruofei didn't care about specific matters, the successful launch of the Taoyuan Club project is absolutely inseparable from his efforts." Zhao Yongjun said, "We are familiar with the road in the capital, and we should do more. Yes!"

Song Rui said, "I understand the truth, but when I see this kid enjoying himself all day long, I get angry..."

Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly and said: "Xiao Rui, you only saw thieves eat meat without seeing thieves be beaten! How can I be so free! Isn't it busy every day? Hundreds of people in the company are pointing at me to eat. !"

"Brother Xia is definitely showing off naked-naked-naked!" Hou Liang said with a smile.

Zhao Yongjun couldn't help laughing and said, "If Feifei, the construction of the clubhouse is progressing very smoothly, much faster than we expected. We expect that it will be basically completed before the end of the year, and the operation will start before the Spring Festival, so there will be no problem! "

"It's much faster than I thought!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "You all worked hard!"

Zhao Yongjun said with a smile: "The construction unit is more powerful. In addition, it is also inseparable from Yiyi's strong support! She also participated in the entire design process. Many eye-catching designs are Yiyi's creativity!"

Xia Ruofei also looked at the design plan, and the final draft was really amazing. Hearing this, he immediately smiled and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's have a toast to Consultant Zhuo!"

Xu Zixuan and others responded immediately, and everyone filled their wine glasses one after another.

Zhuo Yiyi said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't actually do any work, but you still paid me such a high salary..."

Asking Zhuo Yiyi to be this consultant is actually because Song Rui wanted to give Zhuo Yiyi some extra money to subsidize her family. Otherwise, with a salary of five or six thousand in a public institution, living in the capital would be really stretched.

This club is all partnered by good friends, and brothers naturally don't mind paying an extra salary.

What everyone didn't expect was that Zhuo Yiyi was quite serious and responsible, with a very high degree of participation, and also put forward many constructive opinions, which greatly helped the design and construction of the clubhouse.

"Labor is the most honorable. You paid for the labor, and we pay the remuneration. Isn't this normal?" Xia Ruofei said, "Is it Xiao Rui?"

Song Rui said quickly: "Yes, yes! Come, come, let's have a cup of Yiyi!"

Only then did Zhuo Yiyi clink glasses with everyone one by one, and then drank a glass of semillon white wine very boldly.

After putting down the wine glass, Zhao Yongjun said with a smile: "By the way, Ruofei, the mushroom house that Hunan Satellite TV cooperated with has basically been built. Director Gao seems to want to start filming before the end of the year, and it will start around the Spring Festival at the latest. The new season of "Longing for Life" will be broadcast, so you have to get ready for the show!"

Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly and said, "You are all waiting to see the joke! Mr. Feng is also true, he is just rushing ducks to the shelves..."

"I think this idea is quite good!" Xu Zixuan said, "It not only promotes our Taoyuan Club and your company, but also increases your exposure. You are now a living sign of your company! Just your fans, It can add a lot of sales to your company!"

Xia Ruofei rolled his eyes and said, "Please, our company's products have always been in short supply, okay? Now the only factor restricting our product sales is production capacity!"

"I'm going... Find someone to pretend... We're caught off guard!" Song Rui said, "Brothers, Xia Ruofei is so arrogant, do you agree?"

"No!" Xu Zixuan and the others coaxed and said.

"Then what should we do?" Song Rui was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.

"Fuck him!" Xu Zixuan and the others said in unison, and even Zhao Yongjun laughed and laughed.

"Come on! Who's afraid of who!" Xia Ruofei slapped the table and said.

Another round of competition at the wine table begins...
