Chapter 6 Delicious Beef Noodles
"I'm grassy! Get up with a bowl of beef ramen in the morning, a bowl of beef ramen for lunch, and a bowl of beef ramen in the evening. Have you ever eaten three meals like this?"
System: "This system does not eat fireworks, does not eat beef ramen!"
Cao Lei jumped up: "You don't eat beef ramen, but you make me eat beef ramen for three meals a day? ”
"You can go to the bathroom and vomit, but you can't vomit in the kitchen. ”
Cao Lei no longer talked to the system, if it doesn't work, I'll go out to eat, go to the food street to eat! This thought, Cao Lei's mood improved: I will eat 35 yuan a pound of spicy shrimp, not your 10 yuan a bowl of beef ramen.
System: "Inform the host that beef noodles are not priced at 10 yuan per bowl, but priced at 100 Chinese yuan per bowl." ”
"What? A bowl of beef noodles sells for 100 Chinese dollars, and who do you sell it to?"
"Naturally, some people eat it, and if no one eats it, it means that your craftsmanship is too poor. The system said.
"Cut, are you playing with me?" Cao Lei's head smoked.
System: "I want to cut you to the palace, this system doesn't have that thing!"
After scrambling, Cao Lei found that the system was unreasonable compared to himself, and the words it said were very hurtful.
Cao Lei feels that he is a person who sees money, but compared with the system, he is a good person. The beef ramen in the hotel sells for 100 yuan a bowl and it is said in the past, after all, the environment and services are there. But isn't this small shop a big hotel?
System: "Host try your hand at cooking." There is a comparison to distinguish. ”
This suggestion of the system brought the quarrel to a halt. Yes, let's do it first and try it first, and then talk about it, and let it all prove by the facts.
Cao Lei closed his eyes and recalled the steps of making beef ramen.
Then, Cao Lei took out beef bones, beef, chicken essence, salt, and seasoning fresh powder.
The first is to make the package. Cao Lei took all the ginger, star anise, cardamom, cinnamon, cumin, angelica, grass fruit, ginger slices, nutmeg, bay leaves, Xinyi, white pepper, Sichuan pepper...... Bags were made.
Now it's time to prepare the soup, wash the beef bones and beef and then rinse them with water, put them in the soup pot after they are clean, add water, material packets, chicken essence, salt and seasoning fresh powder, boil over high heat and then use low heat to boil. This boil takes a longer time, at least 6 hours.
After boiling the soup for more than 3 hours, Cao Lei took out flour, water, puffy ash, and salt. Stir the ash and salt in water to dissolve, slowly add to the flour, stir while adding water, and finally mix into a smooth dough.
When the dough is evenly blended, Cao Lei covers it with a damp cloth and prepares to let it sit for 20 minutes.
Twenty minutes passed quickly, and the dough was ready! Cao Lei kneaded the dough again, rolled it into an oval shape with a rolling pin, and brushed both sides with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and let cook for another 20 minutes.
Twenty minutes later, Cao Lei repeatedly pounded, kneaded, stretched, and dropped the large ball of soft dough, put the dough on the panel, held the two ends of the strip with both hands, lifted it and beat it vigorously on the board. Soon, the noodles were elongated, and Cao Lei folded the two ends in half and continued to hold the two ends and beat the tendons. Finally, it is kneaded into long strips and kneaded into 20 mm thick and chopstick-long strips.
One noodle knot is just a big bowl of noodles. Now it's the ramen festival, every time he pulls, Cao Lei folds back on his wrist once, and at the end, Cao Lei's hands shake up and down a few times, and the noodles are flexible and long, with uniform thickness. Cao Lei's noodles are two, and the thin noodles are 7 buckles. In this link, it is necessary to come according to the customer's taste and hobby, and the thinnest noodles can be pulled into 9 buttons, and the thinnest noodles can be pulled to 11 buttons.
In this link, Cao Lei is like a kitchen god possessed, his movements are smooth, there is no superfluous fancy in every action, like a textbook-like standard posture, and his mature face has the unique charm of a serious man.
The soup has been boiled for six hours, and the soup is ready!
Cao Lei took out the boiled beef and cut it into small cubes, and cut the white radish into slices and cooked it with salt. Place the coriander segments, diced cooked beef, chopped shallots and sliced radish in a large bowl.
Cao Lei couldn't wait to put the smooth noodles into the pot. After a little boiling, I fished it out. Cao Lei summed up the process of making noodles: "Ramen noodles are like a plate of threads, go down to the pot and turn slowly, and get the chrysanthemum petals in the bowl."
The beef ramen in the bowl presents the five characteristics of "one clear, two white, three red, four green, and five yellow", the beef soup is clear and fragrant, the radish slices are white and pure, the chili oil is bright red and floating, the coriander and garlic sprouts are fresh and green, and the noodles are smooth and yellow.
The amount of beef ramen in this bowl is the same as that of beef ramen eaten at noon, but in terms of color, texture, and aroma, it is much more than the beef noodles outside.
Whether ramen is authentic or not, the key is the soup taste. The soup of Lanzhou ramen has strong spices, and the recipe is very particular, and the spice recipes of some famous brand ramen shops are ancestral and are absolutely kept secret from outsiders. But the common characteristics are: the ramen soup is numb, spicy, fragrant, and salty.
Cao Lei took a sip of the soup first, and immediately, the fragrant taste rushed into his nasal cavity, making Cao Lei feel a special stimulating feeling.
The noodles are very elastic and textured when you bite into them, and they are very smooth and soft, so that Cao Lei can't hold his mouth when he eats them.
Eat noodles in large gulps, eat beef in large chunks, and then take a sip of delicious soup! Life is full of happiness at this moment! Cao Lei ate like a storm.
"That's what I did?"
I ate a large bowl of ramen in one go, and even drank the soup dry. Cao Lei couldn't believe that the delicious food he just ate was made by himself! It was really hard to believe that a simple beef ramen was so delicious, and at this moment, Cao Lei understood what it meant to be delicious.
"Hiccup"
Cao Lei patted his stomach with satisfaction, and the bad mood of being pitted by the system was gone. It's worth it! It's a system-level beef ramen.
Just when Cao Lei was thinking about whether to have another bowl, the system appeared.
System: "The host has just consumed a serving of beef ramen and should pay 100 Chinese dollars." ”
Cao Lei didn't understand: "Who are you looking for to collect money?"
System: "The beef ramen you eat, of course you pay!"
"You mean I have to pay for my own food?" Cao Lei screamed.
System: "The host has just consumed a serving of beef ramen, and it should be 100 Chinese yuan." ”
"Huh. Cao Lei sneered. How can a chef pay for a meal?
System: "According to the regulations, the host chef level is level zero, and the system and the host are divided into, the system gets 90% of the 100 yuan Chinese yuan, and the host gets the remaining 10%. ”
"I'm going to give you ninety percent of the money I earn?" Cao Lei's head, a large flock of crows was flying.
System: "Of course, you just have some physical strength, and this system has all the top ingredients." ”
"What's the top ingredient? Isn't it flour and beef?"
