Food starts from cooking

Chapter 39 An Ordinary Bowl of Noodles

"Damn it, Master Zhou!"

"Hiss, it's really Master Zhou!"

"Hey, Master Zhou is here, I don't know if I have taken it orally today!"

When Zhou You came in, there were not only waiters in the hall, but also a few familiar faces who happened to meet, immediately left the table and greeted him immediately.

After the meal last time, I don't know how many people went back and couldn't sleep. They asked many ways, and they only knew that Master Zhou only knew Zhao Chengjun, and it seemed that he would not come to Chuanhai Restaurant to cook!

Disappointment surged for a while, and some people began to plan to go to Lingqu Village, especially those who were older, but they have been suffering from no one to recommend them.

Living in the countryside these days is much more difficult than going to the city to rent a house, especially after the sale of homesteads is not allowed. Of course, the most important thing is to go to a strange countryside. If you don’t know anyone, you may be suffocated to death.

Some of the faces were very unfamiliar, so Zhou You could only nod at everyone as a greeting.

Later, when Li Hang and others saw this scene, they felt proud!
"Tsk tsk, Brother Zhou is so popular!"

"Nonsense, with Brother Zhou's skills, you won't be welcomed wherever you go, let alone a restaurant!"

"That's right, if Brother Zhou opened a restaurant, I would definitely go there more often than going to work!"

"Awesome, me too!"

When Zhou You and the others sat down, the waiter rushed to serve tea, but they knew that even the boss had to ask for it.

After a while, Zhao Chengjun came down from upstairs with an anxious expression.

Seeing Zhou You, he hurriedly came up to him: "Brother Zhou, you are finally here!"

Seeing this, Zhou You said, "Okay, let's talk about it, what's going on!"

Zhao Chengjun was in a hurry, otherwise Zhou You wouldn't have come so late.

"It's like this. I have a friend, a very good friend. His old father's death is coming soon, and he wants to eat a bowl of noodles!"

noodle?
Zhou You frowned, the locals in Long City ate rice and noodles, but some only liked to eat rice or noodles.

So this is an old man who likes to eat noodles?
"What about the type?"

"Just the homely long noodles!"

"understood!"

After a simple understanding, Zhou You gave a few words of advice to Li Hang and the others, and then walked towards the back kitchen.

"Master Zhou!"

When Zhang Yu saw Zhou You, it was like a drowning man holding on to a life-saving straw, and even his anxious expression calmed down a little.

After saying hello, I only asked some things about the old man, such as how his teeth are, where he is from, and so on.

You should know that different places have different opinions on the same dish, which is also called doing as the Romans do.

There are pastas in both the north and the south, but the difference between the north and the south is very large.

Generally speaking, the noodles in the south are not the noodles themselves, but the soup base or toppings.

But the noodles in the north focus on the noodles themselves, the strength and softness of the noodles themselves...

The old man who wants to eat noodles is already in his eighties. Although his teeth are not bad, the noodles must be slightly softer.

Whether the noodles are good or not depends on kneading them. Of course, there are many types of flour on the market, such as high-gluten, medium-gluten, low-gluten and so on.

Although there is a little difference, it is actually not that big.

Zhou You started, and in an instant, the chefs in the back kitchen decisively surrounded him and stood up obediently, looking like a student.

This is the case in the back kitchen. Every chef starts as an apprentice, and if he can go from an apprentice to a chef, he must know how to learn independently.

So it is impossible for them to miss such a good opportunity.

Kneading noodles belongs to the basic kung fu of Baian. It can be said that all dim sum, steamed buns, dumplings and other pasta need to start with kneading noodles, similar to Qiedun in Hongan!

Zhou You is not stingy, and while kneading the dough, he talks about his own steps and why he did it!
Soon, the chunks of dough were taken out of the porcelain basin by Zhou You and placed on the chopping board!

"It was just kneading the dough, and the next step is the most important step, kneading the dough. If you want the dough to be smooth and strong, this step is very important!"

As Zhou You said, kneading has already begun. Kneading dough is a laborious task, especially some dough needs to be harder, so it will use the strength of the body instead of pure arm strength.

The others watched carefully, and the dough that was originally somewhat bumpy began to become smooth, and under the ingenuity of nine shallows and one deep, the air holes on it disappeared little by little.

Finally, the dough was completely smooth, and the dough in Zhou You's hand was gone.

Cover the dough and let it wake up for a while!

Taking advantage of the gap, Zhou You started to prepare the toppings!
According to Zhao Chengjun, that old man Meng is a native of Long City, and the home-cooked noodles in Long City are either noodle soup or long noodles with starch water. As for beef soup noodles, most people don't know how to make them at home.

Homemade toppings include potatoes, celery, leeks, carrots, tomatoes, etc. Zhou You chose tomatoes as the main ingredient.

Soon, a tomato topping was ready, and there was a sour smell in the air, which made people salivate!
At this time, the noodles had already woken up, and Zhou You began to use the rolling pin to roll out the thick dough little by little!

Today's long noodles are generally made by machine, but in the past few decades, many people did not have a machine for pressing noodles at home, so they can only rely on the handicraft of their mothers.

The dough is rolled out, gradually becomes bigger and thinner, and finally becomes a round shape, similar to pancakes!

Zhou You sprinkled some flour to avoid sticking together, then simply stacked the noodles, and at the same time, pulled out the kitchen knife aside!

Brush brush!
With the knife raised and lowered, strips of noodles of the same thickness and size were cut out.

"Tsk tsk, I don't know how much effort it took to make this knife!"

Even if they are both chefs, everyone present is not only silently speechless.

what?
Chefs should have this kind of work?

Yes, but the same knife skills also have high and low points!
Didn't you see that after Zhou You dropped the knife, there was really no trace on the chopping board?
Soon, the noodles were cut, and Zhou You grabbed the cut noodles and began to shake them constantly.

The noodles that were stacked together finally spread out and became long noodles.

At this time, the water in the pot was also boiling, and I threw it in, stirred it with chopsticks a few times, and after a few minutes, I took out the cold water!

This is an important part of the noodles, and the most important part of the noodles is the soup!
The noodle soup is slightly sour, so it is also called sour noodle soup.

But in fact, there is nothing in the soup, just heavy vinegar, and Xishan mature vinegar is generally used!
Soon, the eight bowls of noodle soup were served one by one, and then the fried tomato noodles were added!

"It's done, take it!"

Zhou You wiped his hands and untied his apron.

Zhao Chengjun hurriedly waved his hands: "Hurry up!"

He licked his lips as he said that, he saw the whole process of making it, and it was no different from what other masters made, but...he just felt that the noodles made by Zhou You were delicious.
