It's been a thousand years in the world Chapter 47 Hot Dry Noodles
Regardless of whether Yan Zhongjing would come to the appointment or not, Qi An would still continue his work the next day.
Finding a small breakfast stall that seemed to be quite popular, Qi An ordered a bowl of hot dry noodles.
He had heard of this kind of thing before, and it seemed to be a breakfast that Wuhan people often ate, but he had never tried it.
The cauldron of boiling noodles was held at the door, and Qi An couldn't help but step forward to take a look.
Like many small restaurants, this shop is a mom-and-pop shop, and it doesn't have a serious name. The wife is responsible for ordering and checkout, and the man is in charge of cooking noodles.
The middle-aged boss, who had already been slightly blessed, put on gloves, grabbed a handful of thick noodles, put them in the pot and boiled them in boiling water for half a minute, and then did not deliberately control the water, took them out and put them in a paper bowl, grabbed a handful of chopped green onions, beans, and sour radishes, and then poured a large spoonful of prepared sesame paste with a spoon.
When it was served to Qi An, the aroma of sesame paste had been baked out by the heat of the noodles, and the distinct aromas of sesame seeds, sesame oil, and chili oil mixed into an enticing taste.
Although the noodles were served in a simple small paper bowl, it did not make Qi An feel disappointed at all.
Yellowish noodles, poured with a large spoonful of sesame sauce, a small spoonful of chili oil, and sprinkled with green green onions, who can resist the temptation of delicious food?
As for why it is served in paper bowls instead of porcelain bowls, Qi An has heard a theory.
One of the reasons is that a small breakfast stall such as hot dry noodles can sell hundreds of bowls in the morning, and if you use porcelain bowls, you are afraid that it will be too late to brush the dishes.
Another reason is that in Wuhan, the hometown of hot dry noodles, most people, whether they are powerful or commoners, like to hold a small bowl of noodles in the morning. Even some office workers eat noodles while walking, so it is naturally more convenient to use disposable small paper bowls.
However, Qi An didn't have time to think about it so much now, because the boss saw that he was a new face, so he specially instructed him to mix the noodles while they were hot, otherwise the noodles would really dry as soon as they were cold.
Qi An carefully mixed the noodles, so that each noodle was stained with sesame sauce, and then picked up a large chopstick and put it in his mouth.
As soon as you eat it, you can feel the strong and hot aroma, as if it is teasing the taste buds, and people can't help but eat it.
Although it is only a breakfast snack, it is the feeling of heartiness that you want to eat. The aroma of the sesame sauce makes people can't stop the aftertaste, but the spicy chili oil makes people eager to eat, and they can't help but want to eat it in a big gulp.
In addition, the noodles themselves are alkaline water, so they are not as soft as somen noodles, but they are as firm as ramen, and they feel more like eating when chewed.
Qi An couldn't help but pick up the spice bottle on the side and pour some chili oil into it, although he knew that spicy was just a stimulation of the tongue, he still couldn't help but want to eat two more bites.
It's just that the next moment, Qi An tasted something not quite right.
Coriander?!
For people who don't eat coriander by nature, such as Qi An, even if they live for so long, they still can't overcome their disgust with it.
But at this moment, he felt that the taste of coriander was no longer unbearable, but blended very naturally with the flavors of beans, spicy radish and sesame sauce.
"Boss, another bowl!" Qi An held the paper bowl and beckoned to the boss.
Qi An, bow to the coriander.

On the way to the "Qi family", Qi An bought a newspaper by the way.
The newspaper was bought in a small shop, not the newsstands that Qi An remembered everywhere.
With the advent of the information age, the traditional paper media has gradually declined, and the newspaper industry has been impacted.
This made him a little sentimental.
Qi An remembered that the reason why Qi Yu threw himself into that great war in the previous life was because of the influence of "Ta Kung Pao".
Even though he was as indifferent as Qi Yu, he still had a sense of belonging to this nation under the infection of those bloody words, and then almost single-handedly dealt a heavy blow to the strong enemy.
But those are just history, and now there is only Qi An in the world, and there is no Qi Yu.
But Zi'an still retains the habit of reading the newspaper.
It's just that today in the local daily newspaper, Qi An unexpectedly saw the news about himself. Only then did he remember that Jin Mancheng gathered a group of reporters yesterday to build momentum for him.
The efficiency is quite fast. Qi An thought and smiled.
As soon as he walked into the store, Wang Chengcheng rushed over with his mobile phone, looking very excited.
He handed the phone under Qi An's nose and showed him with his finger, which was a little incomparable: "......Boss! I never dreamed of such a day!"
Although Wang Cheng has reached the age of not being confused, and he behaves steadily and kindly on weekdays, he is like an excited child at this time.
He can't be blamed for this, anyone who wakes up early in the morning and sees a dozen local media outlets boasting about their restaurants at the same time will be happy.
Even if this restaurant is not his, but Qi An usually cares almost nothing, and everything is pushed to him to do, it can be said that Wang Cheng's efforts to the "Qi family" are far from Qi An.
Qi An still looked calm, and he smiled at Wang Cheng: "Brother Wang has to adapt well, there will be more such things in the future." ”
Of course, there will be a lot of such things, and one of the purposes of Qi An's operation of the "Qi Family" is to let Wang Cheng re-enter the wall of the imperial kitchen, and it will be indispensable to use the mouth of the media to hype it up in the future.
poured a glass of water for Wang Cheng, watched him take it and drank it in a big gulp, Qi An waved his hand and said to the few young men who were surrounded by him with happy expressions on their faces: "Don't look at it, go to work, and your salary will increase by 20% next month." ”
Seeing that several people walked away happily and energetically, Qi An asked Wang Cheng, "There is no bad news?"
Wang Cheng seemed to have been suddenly poured a basin of cold water, remembered something, took his mobile phone and opened an official account to show Qi An.
"There are also negative ones, that is, this old Beijing newspaper, although this article seems to be praising us, it is actually secretly belittling us. ”
Wang Cheng looked a little angry, in his opinion, this report is all untrue remarks: what is the mutton on fire after eating, the store deliberately gave him hair products, making him more sick and so on, although he also said that the taste is very good, but this is not a disguised saying that his own ingredients are not good, and the boss is vicious.
And this old Beijing newspaper can be regarded as a big newspaper in the local area, and its influence is also one of the best in the industry, and the businesses targeted by it are not having a good time.
This is what Wang Cheng is worried about.
When Qi An saw this news, he knew that it must have been the guy named Yu Hai who wrote this slanderous article.
In fact, this is the situation that Qi An really wants to see.
Jin Mancheng may have good intentions, but if the media really praise the "Qi family" uniformly, it is not a good thing for the "Qi family".
This is the same as the old man who is playing the horn, Qi An thinks about the past in the old age, and there is praise and scolding.
In that old Shanghai, there was a famous Qipai actor Liu Hanchen, who was called "Little Qilin Tong" at the time, and was invited to sing in Tianjin.
In order to become famous, the troupe also invited reporters from many media and newspapers to capitalize and praise them, but they never achieved the goal of making ticket holders cheer.
But by mistake, a reporter who Liu Hanchen had offended began to lash out at him. The two voices of support and opposition began to collide and rub, which detonated the focus of public opinion and made a "little unicorn boy" Liu Hanchen.
Not to mention how miserable Liu Hanchen will be in the future, just looking at the means of manipulating the media by the opera troupe at that time, Qi An learned a lot.
The reason why I wanted to tease Yu Hai that day was for this reason, in addition to seeing that he had a bad face and evil thoughts. Sure enough, he really wrote this article "Which is more important, food or life".
As for the next thing, let Yu Hai do it himself, presumably the psychological hints he made to him that day made him more and more angry the more he thought about it. He will never compromise, and he will definitely criticize himself again, and those media who have been instructed by Jin Mancheng will definitely refute it.
There is controversy before there is traffic. This is a phrase that Qi An has learned recently, and he feels that it is close to the truth.
No matter how you look at it, it's your own fisherman's profit. Zian crossed his arms and laughed.
Thanks to Yu Hai.
Ignoring the comments of others, Qi An looked at the empty space under the "Today's Specialty" on the water sign, and felt a little embarrassed.
A few days after the restaurant opened, I was absent from work for two days, and I couldn't talk about being lazy.
So Qi An picked up the chalk and wrote "Today's Specialty: Dessert - Three Non-Sticks" on the sign.
He thought for a moment and added, "It's free, it's not guaranteed to be delicious." ”
Qi An looked at the words he had written and nodded with satisfaction. Looking at the wall clock on the wall, it was almost time for business hours, so Qi An put on an apron and walked into the back kitchen.
The reason why I thought of this dish was because Qi An remembered that Xu Wanqing seemed to have a special love for desserts. Whether it was the previous date when she ate an extra bite of cheesecake, or the fact that Xu Wanqing preferred to cook some sweet and salty dishes when the two occasionally ate together before, it is obvious that she prefers desserts.
Qi An once remembered that Qi Yu had eaten three non-sticks at a banquet, and at that time he deliberately went to the back kitchen to learn the arts, but he never had the opportunity to do it.
Today, when Xu Wanqing comes back from dealing with the factory, Qi An will treat her with this dessert.
Moreover, today Qi An invited Yan Zhongjing to come, and this three non-sticks are just right for the occasion, and can clearly convey Qi An's position to Yan Zhongjing, even if he doesn't think so.
The local media propaganda was still very useful, and just after 9 o'clock, there was a constant stream of customers, so that there were not enough seats in the store, so others had to queue up outside the door.
In the bustling lobby, every table of guests looked at the water sign hanging on the wall with some novelty, and was amused by this à la carte mode.
At the same time, they also have some headaches about what they want to eat. At this time, the "three non-sticks" clearly written on the brand, especially the "three non-sticks that are not guaranteed to be delicious", attracted their attention.
