Fifteen minutes later, Xu Zhuo took the dough out of the basin and began kneading it on the cutting board.

The dough is a little softer than before, but there is still a lot of dry flour in it.

You still have to work hard to knead it.

Knife-cut dough is not like braised noodles, so it needs to be kneaded and rested three times.

But it is more laborious to knead.

Not only does it take longer to knead, but it also takes a lot of effort to knead because of its high hardness.

It's a lot of arm work.

Xu Zhuo felt that over the years, the muscles on his two arms would be very developed.

The dry flour is constantly kneaded into the dough, and the hardness of the dough gradually increases.

In the past few days, because of the lack of customers and the colder weather, Xu Zhuo has not sweated.

But now, he's sweating profusely from kneading the dough.

It's a tiring job.

After Xu Zhuo kneaded the dough, his work clothes were already soaked.

And the muscles of both arms are slightly swollen.

I really didn't expect that the noodles were more effective than exercising in the gym.

After the dough is kneaded, it can no longer be risen, otherwise it will become softer if it rises again.

In addition, if the dough ferments for a long time, it will lose its gluten.

Therefore, while the kneading is done at this time, it is best to start cutting immediately.

But after Feng Weiguo went back, he didn't come over for almost an hour.

Xu Zhuo was a little curious.

This old man, it can't be that he is drunk and falls asleep at home, right?

At noon, Feng Weiguo didn't drink much, so he drank a glass of rice wine.

It stands to reason that it's fine.

But the amount of alcohol this old man drinks is too small, and he can sleep for half a day with a sip of liquor.

Today's noon cup of flower carving, maybe it really worked.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhuo put the dough on the board, washed his hands, and planned to drive to Feng Chunguang's house to have a look.

Feng Chunguang's family went on a trip, leaving only Feng Weiguo at home.

If you get really drunk, don't be surprised.

Changing out of his soaked overalls, Xu Zhuo took the car keys and walked outside.

Just about to drive to Feng Chunguang's house to have a look, he happened to see Feng Weiguo carrying a bag, and Shi Shiran came from a distance.

Seeing Xu Zhuo, a smile immediately appeared on Feng Weiguo's originally tired face.

"How did you change your clothes?"

When he returned home and rummaged through his luggage, he realized that he had not brought a curved knife for shaving noodles with him.

Originally, he planned to just forget it, and he could make it with a kitchen knife.

It's just that it doesn't work as well as a curved knife.

But on the way back, Feng Weiguo looked at the time, it was still early anyway, so it was better to buy a set of tools for shaving noodles.

In the future, I will be able to show off my cooking skills in the store.

Although he can't compare to Xu Jimin and Yu Peiyong in terms of cooking skills, the next time he sees Zhao Jinma, he can make a bowl of knife-cut noodles to deter the old man.

If you dare to say that you are a child, let him see the methods of the bear child.

Well, although it has been a long time, Feng Weiguo is still worried about Zhao Jinma saying that he is a child.

In addition, he also wanted to show his skills in front of Peiyong.

I even plan to have him cook dinner tonight, so that everyone can feel the charm of Shanxi noodles.

Under the influence of this thought, Feng Weiguo did not go back to the store, but went to a department store not far from here.

He walked around it for a long time before he found the curved knife for cutting noodles.

It is said to be a curved knife, but in fact it is just a slightly curved piece of iron.

The biggest effect of this thing is that it is much lighter than a kitchen knife, and the edge has a slight curvature, which can cut the standard willow leaf surface.

In addition to the curved knife, Feng Weiguo also got a pallet panel.

The pallet is a flat plank with a handle underneath.

To make a knife-cut dough, knead the dough into a cylindrical shape and place it on the pallet, then hold it up by the handle.

With the other hand, he held a curved knife and began to shave the dough.

When making knife-cut noodles at home, the pallet is rarely used.

Because the dough made at home is not large, it can be completely held up by hand.

And the length of the noodles is not important for home production, as long as the taste is good.

But the restaurant is different, the restaurant makes knife-cut noodles, the dough is very large, it is easy to get tired just by hand, and the dough is not easy to fix.

In addition, if the dough is too large, it is easy to deform when held by hand, and the length and width of the noodles are different, which makes it look unsightly and affect the dining experience of customers.

Therefore, in the restaurant, the bracket is an indispensable tool for making knife noodles.

However, now, with the widespread use of noodle shaving machines and knife shaving robots, young chefs are becoming more and more reluctant to learn how to make knife shaved noodles.

Even the curved knife and the pallet are useless, and no one even sells them on the market.

Today, in order to buy this curved knife and pallet panel, Feng Weiguo asked a lot of stores that sell kitchenware.

Nothing turned out, and some of the young bosses didn't even know what curved knives and brackets were.

It wasn't until Feng Weiguo made it clear that it was a tool for making knife noodles that the other party suddenly realized: "Who still buys that thing now, it's all machine noodles." ”

Finally, a grocery store owner turned out a set for Feng Weiguo from the warehouse.

The packaging is crumpled and looks like it's been backlogged for a long time.

On the way back, Feng Weiguo kept sighing.

I can't even buy tools, and this industry is really in decline.

In fact, a few years ago, he felt the decline of knife noodles.

In the past, those people wanted to learn from him, not only to perform well, but sometimes even to rely on relationships.

But with the advancement of technology, there are fewer and fewer people who learn to cut noodles.

From the master picking the apprentice, it has become the apprentice picking the master.

Feng Weiguo couldn't accept this change, and finally simply transferred his store in Datong and returned to Weinan to retire.

No more mixing with this kind of suffering.

"Grandpa Feng, why are you so sad, being bullied?"

Feng Weiguo shook his head: "No, just forget it, don't talk about this, have you reconciled......?"

"Reconciled!"

"Okay? Really? I'll see. ”

Because of the stimulus of buying a knife, Feng Weiguo originally didn't plan to beat Xu Zhuo anymore.

As a result, he was ashamed to say that the noodles were reconciled.

This...... How is this possible?

At that time, I practiced for a year or two before I mastered the essence of noodles.

Sometimes, it rolls over.

So he decided that Xu Zhuo was talking big.

I didn't learn well at a young age, but I actually learned to brag.

It's really not okay if you don't knock it.

Feng Weiguo thought as he followed Xu Zhuo to the kitchen.

I've even figured out how to make fun of this kid.

As a result, he lifted the damp cloth covering the dough and looked at it, and was a little dumbfounded.

This dough seems to be very good.

Clap it twice with your hand and make a bang.

The dough is very hard, making it ideal for knife cut dough.

But......

In this case, how can you make fun of this stinky boy?

Could it be that he just let him go?
