40. Noodles with neither soup nor ingredients
About 30 minutes later, Hakuya opened the cloth that wrapped the dough, revealing the dough that had been awakened inside. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He reached out and kneaded it a few times, only to feel that the dough was full of toughness.
"Well, that's pretty much it, then it's ramen. ”
Hakuya nodded, ready to start ramen.
Ramen, this is a technical job, in his previous life, Bai Ye thought that the chef's hand-pulled noodles in the restaurant looked cool, but he didn't expect that now he will pull it himself.
"Hoo ......"
Bai Ye took a deep breath, and then surrendered everything to the instincts of his body.
The noodles that have just been prepared cannot be pulled directly, so at this time, you must first do a step called a slider.
After pounding, kneading, stretching, and dropping the large ball of soft noodles repeatedly, Bai Ye put the dough on the kitchen counter, held the two ends of the dough with both hands, lifted it and beat it vigorously on the cutting board. After the noodles are elongated, he folds the two ends in half, continues to hold the two ends and beats them, and so on, the purpose is to adjust the order of the gluten proteins in the dough, so that the chaotic protein molecules are arranged into a long chain, so this step is also called shun gluten.
This step is quite tiring, and it is usually done by young men with big shoulders and round waists, but although Bai Ye is not big and round, his physical fitness is perverted, and this little physical work can't pay him back.
Roll the smooth dough into strips, apply a layer of clear oil to the dough in the white night to prevent the noodles from sticking together after a while, and then start the ramen in earnest.
Ramen is a one-handed skill, I saw Bai Ye holding both ends of the noodles, both arms evenly accelerated outward, and then the two ends were folded in half, both ends were placed in the fingers of one hand at the same time, the middle finger of the other hand was hooked downward, and the palm of the hand was turned upside down to make the noodles form a noose, and at the same time the two hands were pulled to both sides again.
After the noodles are elongated, Bai Ye puts the end hooked by his right hand on his left finger, and his right hand continues to hook the other end and pull.
The speed of the white night is very fast when pulling, but the force used is very even.
After stretching it six or seven times repeatedly, Bai Ye's hand shook and shook the noodles in his hand that had become as thick as a fine fragrance, this shaking was to make the noodles even thicker.
After surviving like this, a large ball of noodles was pulled, and Bai Ye threw his hands upward, only to see that the slender and long noodles that were pulled contracted and rebounded in mid-air, as if this was not a noodle, but a rubber band, which showed the elasticity of Bai Ye's noodles.
"Haha, it's done, mother-in-law, it seems that I am going to pass your test this time unceremoniously. ”
Looking at the noodles in front of him that had shrunk into a ball due to their elasticity after falling from the sky, Hakuya smiled, and after seeing the elasticity of this side, he knew that he had succeeded this time.
"The craftsmanship is not bad, almost eight percent of the peak, which seems to be stable. ”
Set up another pot, boil water in the pot, add a spoonful of lard to the boiling water in the pot, then chopped green onions, minced ginger, and finally throw the noodles into the pot.
After entering the water, only the noodles were boiling in the cauldron, as if the pot was not boiling noodles, but a white dragon, the white dragon flew up and down in the water, waving its four claws, as if flying in the air, and at this time a rich fragrance of noodles in the air came to the nose.
"Well, call it a day. ”
After about five or six minutes, Bai Ye scooped the noodles out of the pot.
There were only noodles that were bare, and Bai Ye didn't add noodle soup or any other ingredients to the bowl, so he just walked to the front store with the bowl.
"Yo, kid is pretty fast, didn't he? I thought I wouldn't be able to eat until noon. ”
The old woman saw Bai Ye coming over, and she directly spoke to mock.
She can't wait to squirt this kid hard, and this time she has to make this kid lose face in front of Xiaohui.
"Haha, mother-in-law, this is the first time you come to my store to cheer, where do I dare to let you wait longer, this is not fast to make such a piece, come to mother-in-law, try how my countryman has no double face." ”
Putting the bowl in front of the old woman's table, Bai Ye also had a smiling expression, he was not a good temper, he had already seen that the old woman was obviously here to find fault.
"Uh, boy, are you sure you're not kidding my wife, what about this noodle soup, what about the seasonings? What kind of ramen is this noodle?"
After the old woman looked down at the bowl, she saw that the bowl was bare only noodles, not even noodle soup at all, it was really simple to the extreme, and her face couldn't help but become gloomy, and the old woman began to wonder if Bai Ye was fooling her.
Originally, when she saw that Bai Ye was ready so quickly, she felt that this kid was a little unreliable. Slow work can produce fine work, this kid didn't do any preparation before, how can the noodles that are made so quickly be good noodles, the old woman just thinks he is going to make an ordinary ramen to fool herself.
But when she thought that the purpose of her coming today was to make this kid lose face in front of Xiaohui, the old woman was not angry.
"This is something you don't take seriously to scold, since you use casual noodles to fool my wife, then don't blame my wife for scolding people mercilessly. ”
The old woman thought so in her heart, but when the noodles of the white night were really brought to her, the old woman was still stunned, this is the noodles? You are simply teasing me, what about the noodle soup? What about the seasoning of the noodles? How can you eat the bare noodles and only the noodles.
"Hehehe, how long has it been since no one dared to bring out such a thing in front of my wife?"
The old woman was really angry this time, after all, she was here to find fault, Bai Ye used the ramen noodles she made casually to fool her, she could tolerate this, but now this semi-finished product that was not even finished dared to be brought to her, which was too much, so she looked at Bai Ye's eyes and became very unkind, if this kid didn't give her an explanation today, she would have a hundred ways to make him unable to get along in the eleventh district.
"Mother-in-law, you calm your anger first, Senior Bai, you too, don't joke anymore, okay?"
Tian Sohui on the side looked at the cold noodles in the bowl, her face was also stiff, obviously she didn't expect Bai Ye to bring out such a strange ramen, she only thought Bai Ye was joking, so while comforting the angry mother-in-law, she looked at Bai Ye with a pleading eye.
Tian Suohui felt that she was fed up, why every time her mother-in-law and Bai seniors met, the two would quarrel, she was sandwiched between the two to help no one, alas, it was so difficult to be a man.
"Mother-in-law, didn't you say you wanted to eat some light ramen?
Bai Ye actually wanted to say a few more words, so that he was angry that the old woman found fault with him for some reason, but looking at Xiaohui's pleading eyes, he softened his heart and hurriedly added.
"Moreover, my countryman has neither soup nor ingredients in the first place, so I really don't fool your old man. ”
"Really?"
The old woman didn't believe Bai Ye's explanation,
Who are fooling you, how can there be ramen with neither soup nor ingredients, you are a layman of my wife.
"Really, I don't kid you. ”
Bai Ye's face was sincere.
"Okay, then I'll taste it, boy, if you're really fooling me, then the old woman will let you know why the flowers are so red. ”
After taking a closer look at Bai Ye's face, the old woman found that this kid didn't seem to be joking, and couldn't help but take a few more glances at the bowl of "clear noodles" in front of her, thinking if there was any mystery in this noodle.
Picking up the chopsticks, the old woman picked up a chopstick noodle and put it in her mouth.
