Chapter 344 Love at First Sight (3)
Beiping's fried noodles should be second only to Peking's roast duck. It is famous and wide-ranging. You can find fried noodles on sale in any restaurant in Peiping City. The various ingredients of fried noodles are different, even the noodles. There are different types. Hand-rolled noodles, stretched noodles and pulled noodles can all be used to make fried noodles.
But if you really want to be particular about eating, the most traditional noodles will definitely be your first choice. However, noodles are a test of the master’s skills and cannot be made without three to five years of effort, so they are relatively rare.
When Jiang Feng first arrived in Peking, he was ordered to accompany the two sisters Jiang Junqing and Jiang Junlian. He had tasted fried noodles sold in restaurants. Unfortunately, Jiang Feng didn't choose a good restaurant that time. The noodles were hand-rolled and cut. , not to mention shredded cucumbers are the only dishes on the menu, Jiang Feng almost salted himself to death after taking one bite of fried noodles with soybean paste.
Later, Jiang Feng also asked Chen Mengxing, and Chen Mengxing told him that the most authentic Beiping fried noodles are always those made at home, and there is no way to tell whether the ones sold outside are authentic or not. Long-established restaurants like Babao Zhai Yongheju also sell noodles with fried bean paste. Although the fried noodles with a portion of about 100 yuan taste good, they always make people feel uncomfortable eating them.
Zhajangmyeon tastes like home and cannot be made in other restaurants.
The back kitchen of Yongheju has prepared fried sauce, and the fried noodles must also be on the menu of Yongheju open to the public on weekdays.
Jiang Feng knew from the movement of Cao Guixiang's hands that she was making noodles.
The method of making noodles is similar to ramen, but it cannot be said that noodles are ramen.
The technique of making noodles is relatively complicated. The main processes include kneading, dough-making, stripping and mixing. The most famous and representative noodles are Longxu noodles, which Jiang Jianguo made for Jiang Weiming on his 99th birthday. The most famous longevity noodles are noodles.
Stretch noodles are made by repeatedly folding and pulling two strips. A 30% fold is a large ramen, and a 120% or more is called a dragon's whisker noodle. However, the catering industry now defines the minimum standard of a dragon's whisker noodles as fourteen folds, which means stretching a piece of dough. 16,384 roots were produced. Jiang Feng vaguely remembered that the most detailed record of dragon whisker noodles should be that it can be stretched to more than 20 buckles, which means that one dough can be stretched into millions of noodles. Such top-notch noodle-stretching technology cannot be described as miraculous. Pass.
Cao Guixiang spent a lot of time stretching the noodles. After all, the noodles started with kneading the dough. By the time her bowl of fried bean paste noodles was ready, it was probably already mid-afternoon.
Jiang Feng carefully counted the eleven strokes Cao Guixiang made. As a non-Baiyan chef, this noodle-making technique was already considered very superb.
This was the first time Jiang Feng had seen such thin noodles used to make fried noodles.
After stretching the noodles, Cao Guixiang put them into the pot and cooked them. While preparing the dishes, she waited for the noodles to be cooked and taken out of the pot.
The fried sauce is ready-made, and there is no fixed type of dish code. Basically, it is based on the season. Except for Cucumber, who is a regular player, the others can generally just leave it to chance.
Cao Guixiang hesitated for a moment, then cut half a cucumber, some shredded radish, peeled two cloves of garlic, and prepared nothing else.
Jiang Feng could probably guess what she meant. The noodles could be carefully prepared. Anyway, the noodles would not be visible under the vegetables and fried sauce. If the vegetables were prepared too gorgeously, it would easily expose the cook's careful thinking.
After preparing the dish code, Cao Guixiang waited quietly by the pot for a while. When the noodles were cooked and became translucent, she thought of taking them out quickly. She ran cold water through them first to cool down the noodles and wash away the starch on the surface before draining them and putting them into a bowl. Inside, add fried sauce and vegetables in sequence, and a seemingly ordinary bowl of fried noodles is made.
Qin Guisheng had been secretly watching from a distance. When he saw Cao Guixiang's noodles with soybean paste being prepared, he came up to take a look. He immediately said with disdain: "Junior sister, don't be stingy about the money that Master pays. Why don't you put such an order code?" Add a few more!”
Cao Guixiang gave Qin Guisheng a look of disgust and said, "What do you know? Has his window been repaired?"
"I don't know, I can't tell. Anyway, when I just went up, I saw him still practicing there." Qin Guisheng said.
Cao Guixiang took a deep breath and served the noodles with fried sauce.
Zhang Chu was still repairing the window frame in his usual place. It seemed that the repair progress was coming to an end. Cao Guixiang walked behind him with fried noodles and looked at him for a long time without seeing him turn around.
"Um, Master Xiao Zhang, have you...had lunch?" Cao Guixiang asked.
Hearing someone talking to him behind him, Zhang Chu turned his head and saw Cao Guixiang holding a bowl of fried noodles. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Ah, no..."
Jiang Feng was standing next to Zhang Chu. From his perspective, Cao Guixiang looked like the heroine in the TV series with the beauty filter turned on.
The mid-afternoon sunlight slanted through the open window and fell on Cao Guixiang's body. Her smooth, black and fluffy hair shone in the sunlight, making her face extraordinarily white.
Cao Guixiang's eyes were wide open, smart and bright, with a smile on her face, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. Her originally ordinary facial features looked more delicate and charming under the sunlight like 20 million soft light pixels.
At this time, as long as it is matched with a suitable BGM, even if the hero and heroine meet Jiang Feng for the first time, they will not believe it.
God is really helping Cao Guixiang. Why is the angle of the sun so perfect?
Zhang Chu was stunned.
He never thought that he would be unable to move his eyes away from a girl when he saw her for the first time, and even blink.
Zhang Chu had always thought that the stories told by storytellers about the hero and heroine falling in love at first sight, falling in love with each other again, and staying together despite family obstacles were all lies, but now he has experienced the feeling of love at first sight himself.
The feeling that just by looking at it, you forget how to breathe, how to open your mouth, how to speak.
"Um, I, I, I made a bowl of noodles with soybean paste. I think you haven't eaten yet. Repairing the window frame, um, you worked hard repairing the window frame, so I...I..." Cao Guixiang was the first Being so close to Zhang Chu for the first time, he was so nervous that his words became incoherent.
"My master said, it's too hard for you to come to our shop to repair the window frames for free on such a hot day, so you asked me to make a bowl of fried noodles to thank you," Cao Guixiang said.
Zhang Chu also recovered the ability to organize language and said: "It should be, ah, no, I mean, thank you."
Zhang Chu took the fried noodles from Cao Guixiang's hand and started eating the noodles.
After working all morning and one noon, Zhang Chu was really hungry. He ate the noodles in large gulps, but he didn't realize there was any secret hidden in the bowl of noodles.
Cao Guixiang was embarrassed to keep staring at Zhang Chu, so she looked out the window. By chance, Mr. Che started setting up a stall to tell stories, and Cao Guixiang finally found the starting point of the topic.
"Actually, I've met you before. I often see you on the second floor. When you pass by here at noon or afternoon, you stop down to listen to Mr. Che's story. I also like to listen to Mr. Che's story, but I usually listen on the second floor." Cao Cao Guixiang said.
Zhang Chu swallowed the noodles in his mouth and said, "Do you also like to listen to Mr. Che's stories?"
"Yes." Cao Guixiang nodded, "I think Mr. Che's Yang Family General was very well told."
"I didn't finish listening yesterday afternoon. Where should he have talked today?" Zhang Chu asked.
"Today we should talk about Yuanmen Zhanzi." Cao Guixiang said, secretly glancing at Zhang Chu.
Zhang Chu didn't know what to say, so he could only continue eating noodles, and soon he finished the bowl of noodles.
Cao Guixiang never thought of what to say to Zhang Chu, so she just stood there and was sulking to herself.
After finishing a bowl of noodles, Zhang Chu looked at the empty noodle bowl and mustered up the courage to ask: "Comrade, my name is Zhang Chu, I wonder what your name is?"
"My name is Cao Guixiang, Cao from Cao Cao, osmanthus from Osmanthus, fragrant from fragrance." Cao Guixiang said.
"Thank you for making fried noodles. It's delicious." Zhang Chu said.
"It should be." Cao Guixiang happily trotted downstairs holding an empty bowl after being praised by Zhang Chu for her noodles.
Qin Guisheng had been waiting downstairs for a long time. Now Cao Guixiang looked happy and asked hurriedly: "What? Something good happened?"
"He praised the delicious fried noodles I made!" Cao Guixiang was so beautiful that I couldn't believe it.
Qin Guisheng:? ? ?
"Second Senior Brother, you said, why don't I just go and deliver food to him tomorrow? Just tell him that because his window frames are repaired very well, our store is grateful to him and specially sent me to deliver food to him."
"Junior sister, please calm down, you are just like this..."
Jiang Feng was surrounded by a mist and could faintly hear Qin Guisheng's last few words.
"Bewitched by sex!"
A mouthful of milk "My Big Orange is the Demon King" (Female Channel Fantasy) and "Good Food Starts with Kneading Noodles"
