super star system

The moon hangs high on the branches, the street is full of traffic, the door of a noodle shop is ajar, and there is a closed sign on the door, and inside the noodle shop, the lights are still on, and there is no one in the empty lobby. Silhouette, when you prick up your ears to listen carefully, you can vaguely hear a man's scolding and a woman's slightly apologetic voice.

In the back kitchen, Zhang Cheng was yelling loudly at the clumsy Alex, "Why are you so stupid? How many times have I told you to put in flour? Why didn't you listen? This is the first time I've collected one. How can the apprentice accept such a fool!"

"Didn't I put flour in it?" Alix retorted Zhang Cheng with her head covered.

"Yes, you put the flour in, but you just put the flour in after kneading the noodles. Didn't you tell you to put the flour in when you cut the noodles, otherwise it will stick together, you see Look at the noodles you are making now, piece by piece, how can people eat them?" Zhang Cheng scolded Alex while taking a spoon out of the pot and said.

"I see, just pay attention next time." Alix looked at the gnocchi in Zhang Cheng's spoon and said shyly.

"Okay, come again, let's practice hard on this bag of flour today, and I won't be able to do this." Zhang Cheng said.

Seeing that there was more than half a bag of flour left, Alix burst out of her body with a stubborn energy.

"Yes, I don't believe in this evil anymore, I don't believe that I can't practice with this half bag of flour!"

"Okay! Practice!" "Practice!" Two voices full of combat power echoed in the back kitchen, and then Alix took another piece of flour and began to make hand-rolled noodles step by step.

"You didn't put any flour! Hey! You rolled out the dough to make the thickness even! Can you cut the noodles well? Look at what you cut. It will be narrow and thin, like a candied haws." Kitchen Inside, Zhang Cheng's voice kept ringing.

Every time it sounds, it will bring some pointers and teachings, and what responds to him is the sound of throwing dough, and the scratches that are getting straighter and more uniform on the dough.

After another two hours, Alix could already remember when to put flour and when not to put flour, and after Alix achieved these results, the flour bag was used up and there was still less than half of it left.

Zhang Cheng looked at Alix, who had made great progress, smiled and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's go back, and we'll practice again tomorrow night, I guess your noodles are almost done. From time to time, I will teach you several different flavors of noodles based on hand-rolled noodles, as long as you learn these, not to mention anything else, you can be self-sufficient.”

Alix smiled and clapped her hands looking forward to her future life and said, "Then I will study hard, and then I can earn a lot of money, and then I can move my parents out of that small house!"

"Yes, study hard. When you learn it, I will let you sell hand-rolled noodles in my shop. You will also save a lot of rent, and then I will not charge you any money you make by hand-rolling noodles. Okay!" Zhang Cheng said with a smile.

"Really? Well, thank you, Boss Zhang Cheng, you are the best boss I've ever met!" Alix said.

Zhang Cheng smiled and waved his hands without saying anything, but he knew in his heart that when Alix started to operate in this store, it might be the time for Zhang Cheng to leave Alix.

After sending Alix home, Zhang Cheng lay on his bed thinking about how to go in the future. The ice sculpture competition was getting closer and closer, and at the same time, the time for him to leave was getting closer and closer. If he If he doesn't make plans earlier, he may have to stay in his noodle shop for a while, which is not what Zhang Cheng wants.

After thinking about it, Zhang Cheng, who hadn't taken any Jingqi pills, fell into a deep sleep. When he opened his eyes for the second time, it was already past dawn. Zhang Cheng got up and said goodbye to the Edmonds and his wife. It was all the way to follow Alix to his noodle shop.

As usual, Zhang Cheng was still doing one thing non-stop in the noodle shop, stretching noodles, and Alex was also doing one thing non-stop, greeting customers.Both of them had some hopes in their hearts that time would pass faster. Edmonds hoped that time would pass faster because she was thinking about the evening learning of hand-making noodles, while Zhang Cheng hoped that time would pass faster because he thought about the ice sculpture competition. In the future, there will be a new field where he can spread his wings and fly!
Gradually, the pointer pointed to eight o'clock, but the impatient Zhang Cheng and Alix suddenly used their usual tricks to those customers, "Sorry, I ran out of noodles today, please others who haven't eaten noodles people go back."

After everyone was gone, Zhang Cheng and Alex closed the door, and came to the back kitchen to start the exasperating but gratifying time of their master-student exclusive and hand-rolled noodles.

"Yesterday you were almost able to make your hand-rolled noodles in a decent shape. Do it again today. If you do well, we will go directly to the next link." As soon as Zhang Cheng came up, he cut straight to the point and said to Alix .

"Oh." Alix agreed, and then began to repeat the actions that she had done for several hours yesterday. high standard.

"Well, yes, now we have the last item in the basic course of hand-rolled noodles, which is cooking noodles. You put all the hand-rolled noodles you made into the pot, and then start cooking until you have a hand-rolled noodle or something The intuition of when it’s ripe and when it’s not.”

After hearing this, Alix put some noodles into the pot scatteredly. After waiting for a while, Alix, who felt similar to herself, fished out the noodles for Zhang Cheng to taste.

Looking at the hand-rolled noodles that looked good, Zhang Cheng thought to himself, "It seems that Alix is ​​pretty good, she cooked it so well for the first time."

Then Zhang Cheng picked up a noodle and put it in his mouth, after only one bite, he realized something was wrong.

Seeing Zhang Chengshu's unfurled eyebrows twitched together, Alix suddenly felt a thump in her heart, and she hurriedly asked Zhang Cheng, "What's the matter, is there any problem with my cooking?"

Zhang Cheng spat out the noodles in his mouth and said to Alex, "Taste it yourself and see if it tastes good."

Hearing this, Alix picked up a noodle and put it in her mouth, and just after taking a bite, she showed the same expression as Zhang Cheng.

Although the noodles looked good, they were not cooked properly, only the outer skin was cooked, and the inside was still dry and hard raw flour.If this is served to customers, it may not be long before the noodle restaurant will close down.

"This accident, I'll cook it again!" Alix spat out the noodles in her mouth and said to Zhang Cheng.

After a while, Alix took out a handful of freshly made hand-rolled noodles and put them in the pot. With the lessons learned from last time, Alix deliberately waited a little longer to prevent the noodles from being uncooked. An embarrassing situation.

"Now the noodles won't be overcooked again!" Alix thought to herself, and then she took the big pot and spoon to scoop up the noodles in the pot, but before she started scooping up the noodles, the noodles They broke off one by one, and Alix, who was not reconciled, fished several times in a row, but these noodles were all broken when touched, which made Alix completely helpless.

And Zhang Cheng looked at the noodles that were about to rot in the pot and said, "Are you cooking porridge, right? You see that the noodles are all rotten into a paste, and the pigs you make don't want to eat them. The paste is all poured out, and by the way, brush the pot again and redo it."

Alix glanced at Zhang Cheng sullenly, and then honestly went to the faucet to wash the pot and prepared to fight again.

After Alix finished cleaning the pot again, she threw away the freshly made noodles and started the next cooking.

After a while, the noodles came out of the oven. This time, the noodles were a little raw again just like last time.Without Zhang Cheng speaking, Alix could read what he wanted to express from his eyes.Zhang Cheng glared at Alix. Before he could speak, Alix said it first, "I know, it's a bit hard to make. I'll make it again and I'll eat it for you later."

Then he hurriedly started scooping out the bottom of the noodles. After a while, a new bowl of noodles came out of the pot again. This time, the noodles were the same as last time, they were not cooked to that level, even the inside of the noodles was not cooked through.

Alix said angrily, "I still don't believe it, can I do this little noodle cooking step? If I can't do it well, I won't go home today until I can cook this noodle!"

After finishing speaking, Alix once again threw herself into a back-and-forth battle with Noodles.

Hard work pays off. After countless failures, countless times of getting up, and then countless failures, Alix has been able to better grasp the suitable temperature of the noodles, although occasionally there are still one or two occasions. Boil the noodles to waste, but slowly, this chance becomes smaller and smaller.I believe that after Alix practices for a while, this extremely small chance will disappear.

Zhang Cheng, who witnessed Alix's progress, said with a smile, "Okay, you have already learned the basic skills, and you don't need to learn anything more today. After our ice sculpture competition tomorrow, I will teach you the taste of hand-rolled noodles and so on." Elements, I believe you will be able to open a noodle restaurant by yourself in a month."

Alix jumped up excitedly, she smiled and said, "Great, I'm going to be my own boss!"
