"Ruonan, are those people from the TV station?" asked Liu Mang as he pulled the ramen in his hand. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Because one of the chefs who made Lanzhou ramen yesterday had a bad cold and rested, Liu Mang came to his shift today to make Lanzhou ramen.

"It seems like yes. Li Ruonan on the side replied.

It's been three days since I came to Philadelphia, and it's no surprise that reporters and TV programs have been coming in a constant stream these days.

"But, I don't look familiar with this person!" Liu Mang glanced at the blonde man walking in front of the camera with a headset pinned to his collar, and said in surprise.

"It's kind of familiar. Li Ruonan also glanced at it: "Is it a famous host of a TV station in the United States?" or a celebrity?"

"Probably not, I have face blindness to foreigners, and everyone looks the same, and there are not many people who can make me feel familiar. Liu Mang replied.

"Does it make you feel familiar? Could it also be a chef or a host of a food show?" Li Ruonan said.

"I remembered, is this guy called Gordon Ramsay? That famous British chef I watched a few episodes of his video before I came to the United States to learn Western food. Liu Mang patted his head and said.

"Gordon Ramsay, that's right! That's him!" Li Ruonan also reacted: "Known as the chef with the highest net worth, the producer of "Hell's Kitchen", and the owner of three Michelins. It's just that he didn't wear a chef's uniform today, and I didn't recognize him at all. ”

"What is he doing here? With a photographer, could it be that he is here to shoot a show?" Liu Mang said in surprise.

"I don't know, but this Gordon Ramsay, although he is a very good cook, is not easy to get along with, and is known for his poisonous tongue and rudeness. He's coming, and there's not necessarily anything good. Li Ruonan said with some concern.

"I'm afraid he'll do a lot! The dog can eat at the foreigner's place, and he will be abused and sent out of China every minute. Squatting under the board, Lin Xiao, who was mouthing noodles, said.

Lin Xiao came back alone this morning, and when he came back, his eyes were blue, and it seemed that he had quarreled with Gu Qianyao again.

"Dogs?"

"yes. Lin Xiao raised his head: "This guy is not only famous abroad, but also has a group of fans in China." However, his temper was too short-tempered, and he was given the title of "Hell Chef", and because of the homonym of the name, he was called a dog by Chinese fans. ”

"Dogs? huh...... It's a pretty chic nickname. Liu Mang and Li Ruonan worked very hard to hold back their laughter.

"Oh! Look at this, very fine food. Gordon Ramsay pinched up a vivid panda dumpling: "But will it taste like its shape, will it make me admire?"

Gordon Ramsay brought the dumplings to his mouth, and the photographer next to him hurriedly pulled the camera over.

"Well, it tastes good!" Gordon Ramsay smacked, "shrimp, pork, green beans...... Oh, what is this?"

Gordon Ramsay, who chewed a few times, barked like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, swallowed the dumpling in his mouth, and then immediately picked up one and broke it: "Oh, it's actually tea! We British people didn't eat tea leaves more than a hundred years ago, but I didn't expect the Chinese to still eat them!"

"It's a shame that this dish would have made it one of the best I've tasted in recent years, but why put the damn tea on it, the bitterness only spoils the taste of the food!" lamented Gordon Ramsay.

Gordon Ramsay finished tasting a dumpling and walked around the other vendors.

At this time, many Americans recognized Gordon Ramsay and asked for a group photo, but Gordon Ramsay was unceremoniously blasted away.

"Hell, please let me sir! Is this your belly? Oh, it looks like an old buffalo!"

"And girls, if you were twenty years younger, I would be happy to give you my phone number, but for now I can only say no! Look at the wrinkles on your faces, oh my God! It's exactly the same as a dry orange peel!"

Gordon Ramsay is known as a poisonous tongue, and many diners who try to disturb him are scolded by him.

However, probably everyone is used to his style, and some of the people who were scolded were not very angry, but laughed.

Walking and walking, Gordon Ramsay came to Liu Mang's stall.

This is a traditional Chinese type of ramen that has to be folded four or five times and then stretched into a long strip without breaking. Gordon Ramsay said to the camera.

"Good morning, gentlemen!" said Gordon Ramsay, greeting Liu Mang.

"Hello!"

"Oh, Chinese friends, my name is Gordon Ramsay, and I'm recording a really good food show, can I delay you a little bit?" asked Gordon Ramsay.

"Yes. Liu Mang nodded: "Mr. Gordon Ramsay, I actually know you because I have also watched your show." ”

"Our show is called 'Gordon's Things,' and it's about me traveling around the world and challenging the food masters. ”

"Uh...... Mr. Gordon Ramsay, this kind of behavior of yours is called a kick in the field in China, and it will be hated by people. Liu Mang replied.

“No! No! No!” After listening to Li Ruonan's translation of the meaning of kicking the field, Gordon Ramsay shook his head again and again: "Sir, you misunderstood, I mean to let yourself go back to the furnace and learn new skills like those industry leaders." ”

"Learn new skills?" Liu Mang thought for a while: "That's okay." What? Mr. Gordon Ramsay, are you going to learn ramen?"

"I'm more than willing to give it a try. Gordon Ramsay nodded: "Excuse me, what is the technique of pulling out good noodles, and does good ramen have any special flavor?"

"Hand-pulled noodles are more elastic, you can taste them as soon as you taste them, and they are very fresh, which is very different from machine-pressed noodles, and the texture is not so dry. As for technique, a little patience and long practice will do. Liu Mang replied.

"So how long have you been practicing this ramen?" asked Gordon Ramsay again.

"Do you mean making this ramen alone?"

"Yes. ”

"Uh...... About three hours. Liu Mang replied.

Liu Mang, a Lanzhou ramen, came to the United States to study temporarily. In fact, this time is more, Liu Mang watched others pull twice in total, and practiced for about half an hour.

However, this proficiency was based on his previous insistence on kneading the dough and making other pasta.

If Liu Mang had never touched ramen and had never learned to make Chinese noodles before, that time would have more than tripled.

If you learn ramen as an ordinary person, if you practice consistently, you will be able to get started in about three months, and you will be proficient in half a year.

After all, ramen is not only so simple to pull, but also to awaken and understand, as well as the flexibility of dough, is a great test.

"Oh, it seems so simple. Gordon Ramsay laughed: "So, sir, how long do you think it will take me to study?"

"Mr. Gordon Ramsay, have you ever made Chinese noodles before?"

"Nope. ”

"Then it could take you a month to pull out ramen like this. Liu Mang replied very conservatively.

"Oh, sir, are you underestimating me? Why do you only need three hours and I need a month?" said this, Gordon Ramsay looked a little angry.

"I'm just telling the truth. Liu Mang shrugged his shoulders.

"So, would you mind letting me give it a try?" asked Gordon Ramsay.

"No problem, if you really want to learn, I can teach you. ”

"Okay! I'm coming. Gordon Ramsay unbuttoned his coat and followed his assistants to immediately hand over a snow-white chef's suit, and on the shoulders of the chef's suit, three small golden stars were particularly eye-catching.

"Mr. Liu Mang, do you know what this means?" said Gordon Ramsay, pointing to the little star on his shoulder.

"I don't know, it's a decoration?"

"It's not a simple decoration, only a Michelin-starred chef can embroider it on a garment. Gordon Ramsay said with some pride.

"Dog, Michelin is just an evaluation standard made up by you Westerners, and it can't represent our Chinese cuisine. Lin Xiao stood up and spoke less politely: "In my opinion, there are only two kinds of food in this world, one is Chinese and the other is other. ”

"Then I'll try it and see if I can learn this kind of ramen in the shortest possible time. Gordon Ramsay walked around the stage and walked to Liu Mang's side.

"I'll show you first. Liu Mang was a little helpless, and pulled a kneaded noodle from the board.

"Rub it like this, rub it into a long one, and then fold it in half, so that the fingers of both hands are to hold it up. ”

Liu Mang's movements are extremely skillful, which can be described as smooth, but this is still the result of his deliberate slowing down.

"Pull it slowly, fold it in half, fold it in half, fold it in half. After six more folds, the noodles will become 164. Then you stretch it again and finally throw it into a pot of boiling water. ”

"It seems simple. When Liu Mang demonstrated it, Gordon Ramsay couldn't wait to get started.

He followed Liu Mang's example, first kneading the noodles into a long strip, then sprinkling flour, folding in half and then in half.

"Yes, that's right. Liu Mang nodded: "Let's go around it again...... Yes, exactly. ”

However, when Gordon Ramsay reached out to pull the noodles apart, the noodles were very weakly interrupted.

"Hey!, why is this happening?" cried Gordon Ramsay.

"No, no!" Liu Mang shook his head again and again: "Your movements should be gentle, not just shake all the time." ”

"It's always a little unskilled the first time, I'll do it again. Gordon Ramsay tossed the broken noodles aside and took another one.

Gently knead, sprinkle with flour and fold in half. Gordon Ramsay tried his best to imitate Liu Mang's appearance just now, and every movement was very light.

However, when he tried to tear the ramen open for the third time, the noodles broke again.

"Oh!fuck!" Gordon Ramsay scolded.

"Don't worry, you're not using the right strength. You can't use brute force, you have to use ingenuity. Liu Mang explained.

"Okay, I'll do it again. Gordon Ramsay swallowed the irritability in his heart and took a piece of noodles.

This time the effect was not bad, I thought it would be successful, but by the fifth time, the noodles still broke.

"Come again!

"Don't break it!

"Fuck!Fuck! It's so hard!"

"Holy, what a stupid decision for me to challenge this thing!"

Again and again, until all the noodles on the board were kneaded, Gordon Ramsay did not succeed once.

The last time, he couldn't help it, slammed the broken noodles in his hand on the board, and ran to the side angrily and sulked.

"Haha!" the crowd erupted in laughter.

Everyone is used to seeing Gordon Ramsay scolding students in his own show, and of course they are very happy to see him embarrassed for the first time.

"I'm right,. Lin Xiao patted him on the shoulder: "Chinese food is not that simple. ”

"Why do I always pull it off, sir?" asked Gordon Ramsay, after a while, calming his irritation.

"Yours you have to make it elastic back, stretch it and pull it back when you stretch it. It's an amazing feeling, and you have to grasp it. Liu Mang couldn't explain what to do, but answered very abstractly.

"I'll do it again. Gordon Ramsay walked back to the board again.

Liu Mang was a little helpless, so he had to re-knead the noodles he had broken into balls, and then knead them into small strips.

"Please, baby, don't break it!" said Gordon Ramsay, his mouth as he pulled his noodles.

"Smack!" Finally, the ramen broke without warning.

"I gave up! It's so hard!" Gordon Ramsay looked frustrated, and walked up to the camera: "Although I have improved after each attempt, I am still a long way from becoming truly proficient." You're right, sir, it may take me three months of practice to get it done. ”

"It's okay, go home and practice more, remember what I said, be skillful, find that feeling. Liu Mang replied with a smile.

"Thank you for the encouragement!" Gordon Ramsay gestured to the camera: "Unfortunately, this time I failed my challenge!"

"By the way, sir, what's your name?" asked Gordon Ramsay, retracting his previous disdain.

"Oh, my name is Liu Mang. ”

"Liu Mang?, this name is very familiar. Gordon Ramsay thought for a moment, "By the way, do you know John Jokson?"

"John Jokson, is that the famous foodie in England?"

"Yes. ”

"Oh, of course I know, I cooked for him when I was in Dongying. Liu Mang replied.

In the Dongying challenge to that Kumamoto Akagi, Liu Mang remembered that the judge was called John Jokson.

"I heard him mention you, it turns out that you are the Chinese kitchen god!" Gordon Ramsay finally found a step to relieve his embarrassment: "Mr. Chinese chef, if you have the opportunity, I would like to invite you to taste my dishes, I can't cook Chinese food, but if I cook Western food, I may not lose to you." ”

"Must ......"
