"Whew!" The broom rubbed against the bluestone pavement of the alley, making a slight noise.

"Boss, it's morning. Seeing Liu Mang open the roller shutter and walk out, the young man pulled off the headphones in his ears and said hello with a smile.

"Huh, is it you, where is Master Dai?" Liu Mang, who got up early, was stunned for a moment and asked.

This young man is the son of Lao Dai who came to the store last time to eat Kung Pao chicken.

"My dad, on another street. The young man answered.

"Didn't you go to school?" asked Liu Mang again.

"Hey, I'm going to help my dad this Saturday. The young man smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth.

"Good work. Liu Mang's eyes showed a light of appreciation.

Chinese pay attention to filial piety in everything, and the shining point of this young man is destined to be an outstanding person in the future.

"What's this? The young man clenched the broom in his hand.

"Don't bother you, you're busy. Liu Mang walked back to the store and paused: "By the way, I boiled chrysanthemum tea, and now the weather is starting to get hotter, it is the most suitable for going to the fire, and you will bring a cup and send some to your father." ”

"Thank you to the owner. ”

Liu Mang returned to the shop, took some dried red dates and wolfberries from the kitchen cabinet, soaked them in cold water, and then grabbed a large handful of dried chrysanthemums from a blue and white porcelain jar.

These chrysanthemums are produced in the kitchen god space, and Liu Mang asked Xiaobao to help them dry, and the quality is many times stronger than those bought outside.

Rock sugar is crushed, put in a clay pot, and then poured in spring water taken from the lake in the space, and then boiled over a high fire.

After the water in the jar bubbles up the fine fish bubbles, immediately turn to low heat and add the soaked red dates, wolfberries, and chrysanthemums.

"Well, turn on the low heat and blanch it a little, let the taste of chrysanthemums penetrate in, and I'll go grocery shopping first." Liu Mang twisted the fire on the stove to the smallest and muttered in his mouth.

"Xiaoliu, don't follow me, stay at the door and watch the store. Liu Mang was about to go out with a bamboo basket, and after finding that the fat cat was also about to follow secretly, he hurriedly squatted down and reached out to hold its fat head.

"Meow Meow~"

"Be obedient, wait until I come back and catch a fish for you to eat. ”

"Meow Meow~"

"Don't go!"

"Little brother, come here. When Liu Mang came to the vegetable market, the proprietress of the meat stall greeted him warmly: "Today's beef is good, the cattle that have just been slaughtered for a long time still have body temperature." ”

"Well, that's pretty good. Liu Mang walked over and poked half of the cow hanging on the meat rack with his hand.

"How much?"

"I only need brisket, weigh me ten pounds." Liu Mang looked at it and replied.

"All right!" the proprietress sliced a large piece from the cow's belly with her hands and feet.

This piece of beef is fat and lean, with fascia and fat, and it is perfect for braised beef.

"How are you going to eat?" asked the proprietress .

"Well, use it as a topping. Liu Mang replied.

"Is it braised beef noodles?" the proprietress laughed: "It's a pity that I can't leave the business, otherwise I must go to your place to try your craftsmanship." ”

"...... are always welcome," Liu Mang said with a smile.

Back at the shop, the fat cat obediently lay in the sun at the door of the store, and when he saw Liu Mang coming back, he hurriedly pounced on him, hugging his legs and rubbing them.

"Alright, I'll get you some fish. Liu Mang put the beef down, took out a palm-sized knifefish from the space, and put it in the cat food bowl.

The chrysanthemum tea brewed before going out was ready, and Liu Mang poured the tea out of the jar and put it in the enamel vat to cool.

Clean the brisket, cut it into pieces, then put it in a pot with cold water, then boil it to clean the blood.

The beef brisket was in the pot, and Liu Mang cut a little ginger slices and green onions, ready to be fired for a while.

"Boss. At this time, the young man who had been sweeping the floor outside just now walked in with a large water cup in his hand.

"Oh, here you are, chrysanthemum tea is on the bar, pour it yourself. Liu Mang said.

"Okay. The young man nodded, put the glass under the faucet of the enamel vat, and twisted the switch.

When he saw that the chrysanthemum tea was still hot, the young man was stunned: "Boss......"

"What's wrong?" Liu Mang, who was cutting the condiment, raised his head.

"Oh, nothing. The young man lowered his head and whispered, "Thank you......"

"It's not enough to pour it again, I've boiled too much, one person will definitely not be able to drink, how much can you fill. Anyway, it's a waste if you can't finish it. Seeing the young man walk out of the door, Liu Mang shouted from behind.

After the beef brisket has passed the blood water, Liu Mang puts it in the pot, puts in a little oil, puts in the green onion ginger and peppercorns to stir-fry the pot, and finally pours the drained beef brisket into it and starts stir-frying.

Wait until the brisket is slightly oily and the color begins to turn white, then add rock sugar, cooking wine, and a little red yeast powder.

Red yeast rice powder is a natural red pigment, which is mostly used in the south to make roast pork or tofu. It is made by steaming glutinous rice, inoculating monascus species, fermenting and propagating, and finally crushing.

The advantage of using red yeast rice powder is that the coloring is natural, harmless to the human body, and it can have a light wine aroma.

Add most of the pot with water, and the brisket has not been over. After the water boils, Liu Mang turns the beef brisket in the pot into a clay pot, and puts in a spice bag made of five spices, cinnamon, angelica, and grass fruits, and simmers over low heat.

"Alright, let's start making a face. When the brisket was ready, Liu Mang washed his hands and dragged out half a bag of flour from the cabinet.

"And how much?" Liu Mang was in trouble.

Beef noodles are preserved before tanning. If you knead too much, you can't sell it and waste it, but if you don't have enough to eat, you can't do it again and again, which makes you too dragged.

"Why don't you use flour to roll out the dough and create a new one today?" After thinking about it, Liu Mang made up his mind, picked up the marker and walked outside the door, and wrote on the blackboard - sold today, beef brisket and shrimp noodles.

"No, don't you have a guest today?" But until nine o'clock in the evening, no one came to the door.

"It's a pity that I have this pot of brisket! It seems that I can only put it in the refrigerator and eat it slowly. Liu Mang walked to the stove, lifted the lid of the crockpot, took a deep breath, and shook his head.

"It seems that it is not possible to wait for the guests to come to the door, and the smell of wine is still afraid of the deep alleys, is it time to think of some publicity?" Liu Mang thought secretly in his heart.

"It's here, it should be right!" At this moment, a girl with a ball on her head and a bikachu pattern printed on her chest pulled open the door. She was followed by another girl with black-rimmed glasses and two ponytails, who looked equally cute.

"Yes, it's this! Look at this fat cat!" the girl with two ponytails took out her mobile phone and pointed to Xiao Liu, who was napping on the bar, excitedly.

Xiao Liu, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by this sound, and he waved his paw dissatisfiedly, as if to say, am I fat? Where is fat?

"Who are you?" Liu Mang narrowed his eyes.

"We came here after looking at Xiaoya's photos. The Bikachu girl shook her phone.

"Photos?"

"Well, this is it. The Bikachu girl sent her mobile phone to Liu Mang, and the photo on it was the one he and Xiaoliu squatted at the door yesterday to pick up rice.

"You're here for braised pork rice?"

"Yes, yes!" said Ponytail and Bikachu nodded fixedly at the same time.

"Oh, please take a seat. Liu Mang greeted: "But there is no braised pork rice today, only beef brisket and shrimp noodles." ”

"Beef brisket and shrimp noodles? The Bikachu girl bit her fingers: "Is it noodles with beef and shrimp at the same time?"

"Yes. ”

"Alright, we'll have one for each of us. ”

"Please wait. Liu Mang walked into the bar and added: "100 yuan a bowl." ”

"It's really expensive!" the double-ponytailed girl stuck out her tongue, "But we are mentally prepared." ”

Liu Mang walked into the place where he was sleeping and instructed Xiaobao to help him catch about two catties of prawns from the lake in the space.

"Wow, it's a fresh prawn!" The double ponytail girl couldn't help but exclaim when she saw the two-finger-long prawns in Liu Mang's pot.

"Boss, your shrimp is sold by the portion, not by the piece, right?" asked the Bikachu girl.

"Of course, it's according to the portion. ”

"Oh, that's good. The two girls relaxed.

Liu Mang peeled the shell of the shrimp and removed the shrimp and removed the shrimp line. Then put it on the cutting board, take two quick knives and chop it up.

"Strange, is the boss doing shrimp slips on the spot?" The girl with the double ponytail put her hand on her cheek and watched Liu Mang's performance behind the bar.

"Definitely, yes. The Bikachu girl nodded: "It's expensive, but it's genuine." The market price of such a pot of prawns is estimated to be hundreds of dollars. ”

"How do you know?" asked the girl with two ponytails.

"Hmph, don't forget my mother, but I'm a first-class chef, what do I don't know?"

After the shrimp are thoroughly chopped into a puree, Liu Mang puts them in a stainless steel basin, adds salt, egg whites, and starch and stirs them in one direction.

"Huh, aren't you making shrimp slips?" to Bikachu's surprise, Liu Mang stirred the shrimp evenly and poured them all into a piping bag.

Next, Liu Mang washed his hands and boiled water in a pot. When the water in the pot boils, immediately pick up the piping bag and squeeze it into the pot.

"Wow! I see! What a wonderful idea!" exclaimed Bikachu, "It's the first time I've seen shrimp make noodles!"

The shrimp meat squeezed out of the thin outlet of the piping bag solidifies as soon as it comes into hot water, turning into long noodles as white as jade.

Liu Mang squeezed with one hand and gently stirred with a colander with the other hand so that the noodles in the pot would not stick together.

When a bag of shrimp meat was squeezed, Liu Mang quickly scooped it up with a colander and put it into two noodle bowls.

A spoonful of roasted beef brisket is poured over the noodles with the soup, and finally sprinkled with a few chopped green onions and black sesame seeds, and this original noodle dish is completed.

"Please use it slowly!" Liu Mang delivered the noodles to the two girls.

"Hmm...... It smells so good!" Bikachu sniffed, looking intoxicated.

"It's so pretty!" exclaimed the girl with two ponytails.

Because of the red yeast rice powder, the color of the beef is particularly beautiful, and it is exactly the appearance of beef in instant noodle advertisements.

The surface is slightly red, shimmering with a crystal oil, with white noodles, green onions, and black sesame seeds, and the combination of colors gives people a great visual impact.

"I'll start first. The double ponytail picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef brisket and put it in his mouth.

"Wow! so tender, so soft!"

After an afternoon of low heat simmering, the fascia and fat on the brisket are all stewed, and together with the lean meat, there is no need to chew much at all, just a light sip, and it melts in the mouth.

A smell of umami unique to beef, mixed with spices, gently brushes the taste buds on the tip of the tongue, like an electric shock.

"It's perfect!" the girl swallowed the beef, then picked up a pinch of noodles with her chopsticks and sucked it gently.

"Ziyo!" the noodles are inhaled into the mouth, and when the teeth are all closed, they are gently flicked open.

"It's delicious!"

These noodles made from shrimp meat have a texture that cannot be surpassed by ordinary noodles made of flour.

How can I say it? Its elasticity is only basic, and the freshness of shrimp meat and the sweetness contained in it are the biggest characteristics, just like ...... It's like you can dance, chew it twice, and it will jump in your mouth.

The gravy of the beef is mixed with the noodles, the mellow gravy, the tenderness of the beef, the strength of the noodles, the sweetness of the shrimp meat, and the combination of different textures and flavors make people forget everything around them and just want to swallow!

"Hula! "Hula!" The two cute girls didn't care about their image at the moment, and concentrated on eating noodles.

"It's delicious!"

"It's so delicious!"

"Uh...... It's not that exaggerated. Liu Mang scratched his head.

This kind of noodle practice was just an inspiration for him at that time, and he had never tasted it himself.

"It's really delicious!" the pony-tailed girl finished drinking the last mouthful of soup in the noodle bowl, and then patted her little belly, which was a little swollen, and hiccuped beautifully.

"I really want to eat another bowl, but unfortunately I can't hold on. The Bikachu girl also put down the bowl, her face still unsatisfied.

"Wow! oh no!" cried out the pony-tailed girl in frustration.

"What's wrong?"

"I was so focused on eating that I forgot to take a picture beforehand. ”

"Why don't we eat another one?" suggested the Bikachu girl, licking her lips.

"Okay. The double ponytail girl nodded: "You always think of ways to tempt me!"

"Boss, next bowl. ”

"Okay, please wait a minute. Liu Mang felt a little funny, reheated the water in the pot, poured the remaining shrimp paste into the piping bag, and began to make it.

Soon, another prepared noodle was placed in front of the two girls. They each took out their phones and snapped them.

"Hello, your dinner. The remaining shrimp paste was still more than the next noodle, so Liu Mang picked out the rest, washed it with cold water, mixed it with a little beef juice and poured it into Xiao Liu's bowl.

"Boss, you just feed it this. The Bikachu girl asked, sucking on the noodles.

"Yes, it eats whatever I eat. Liu Mang replied.

"What a happiness!" The double ponytail girl looked envious: "No wonder you are so fat!"

"It's fat and I have nothing to do with it. Liu Mang rubbed the fat back of Xiaoliu's neck: "When I adopted it, it was so fat." ”

It seemed to be disgusted that Liu Mang disturbed it to eat noodles, and Xiao Liu, who was squatting at the bar, turned around angrily, leaving only Liu Mang with a fat back.

"Hee-hee, what a grumpy cat!" the two girls chuckled.
