Chapter 20, rice noodles
"The ribs are only a few taels of pork belly, and we have to supply them in large quantities when we open a store, which is definitely not possible. But it's a good idea to boil the oil with lard, and we'll improve it when we get back. Little teacher, this time I will give you a free order. These wontons are definitely not enough to eat, do you want to order some others? I don't charge any money! I'll give you a business card, our shop is on the Langhai Bund, call me when you arrive in Langhai, and you can try our small wontons again. The boss buckled his chin and pondered what it was feasible, and muttered to himself for a few words before staring at Wen Xi eagerly. It's the first time I've seen such a tricky tongue boss, their store is one of the best breakfast restaurants in the country, and the shrimp wonton is the store's signature noodle!
It's a pity that Wen Xi is still young, and he needs to be accompanied by his parents when he goes out, otherwise the store manager really wants to take Wen Xi to Langhai to try the food.
Wen Xi touched his little belly and shook his head, there are still a lot of delicacies waiting for the handsome old man to take them to taste at the food festival, how can they give up the entire forest for a bowl of small wontons? Besides, Wen Xi had already seen it when he came in just now, and the bean curd and bean juice were not as good as Lao Liu's, and there were dogs in front of the steamed buns to ignore them! I couldn't afford to give up an 8-point bun for a 6-point bun.
"Okay, let's go!" the handsome old man took out a small handkerchief and pressed the corner of his mouth, and took the lead in the lead.
"What's the hurry, I still have two words that I haven't finished!" Uncle Walnut is shouldering the heavy responsibility of writing food reviews, and he took out a small notebook to remember it as early as when Wen Xi was commenting on shrimp and wontons!
"Lao He, didn't I say you, what are you doing in a hurry? When you eat, you should eat seriously, wouldn't it be nice to take a recording note if you have any comments? How can I be in the mood to eat when I always think about comments? Let's put it aside!
As one of the initiators of the food festival, Uncle Shuai naturally arrived at the opening of the food festival, and many good century-old shops have already entered and tasted it, otherwise with his temper to protect food, others want to divide a few wontons from his bowl It is not even a thought!
Wen Xi looked at a bunch of 6 points and 7 points early and was left behind by him, and he wanted to play a child's temper and lay on the ground and not leave! How good would it be if he had money, he could sweep from the street to the end of the street, from breakfast to supper, and the energy value was not swept away by the system? But Wen Xi just didn't have any money!
Thinking of a way to make money, Wen Xi's steps became slower and slower, and finally stopped at the door of a rice noodle shop.
Rice noodles are one of the favorite breakfasts of the Flan people, since ancient times, Jiangnan is rich in rice, the raw materials are easy to obtain, and the Flan people are tired of eating rice and replace their breakfast with rice noodles. Wen Xi went to Fran a few times when he was an intern at the university before he traveled, and I heard the locals say that if you haven't eaten rice noodles, you haven't come to Fran, Wen Xi naturally tasted it a few times, and I still remember the taste.
"Yo, rice noodles, this is rare, so let's go in and eat some?"
The rice noodle shop has a special fragrance, and at the door are several large stoves, on which a pot of broth is simmered, and the rice-white soup rolls out white waves, and there are several small pots stewed with beef cubes, beef brisket, beef offal and other toppings, and on the edge is a pot of boiled water used to blanch rice noodles.
The aroma of food stimulates the salivary glands, and Moon Hee swallows the saliva in his mouth and looks at the bone broth with 9 points, and the beef, brisket, and beef offal with 8 or 7 points. This and this completely killed the wonton shop just now!
How good would it be if this was lunch! Wen Xi ordered a bowl of everything, how many points could he get! The 9 points of food that the system needed to taste to level 4 were also satisfied, killing two birds with one stone! Why can't the store pursue it a little? How good it would be to open a restaurant!! why would he only want to open a breakfast restaurant, isn't it a waste!
"Hello, welcome!How many do you want to eat round noodles or flat noodles?, soup noodles or braised noodles?"
There are few people in the south, and the shops are one by one, if you go outside to solicit customers, the conflict must be theorized by the temper of the Fran people, then simply stipulate that you can't go out of your own door, you can only pick up and send customers to the gate, and the clerk walks to the street that is a broken rule.
"Bring me a bowl of braised noodles, Lao He, Brother Hua, what do you eat, children?" Uncle Hua looked at the menu on the wall, braised noodles are the most testing sauce, and besides, he didn't know how many bowls of soup and water he ate in the morning, so let's have a bowl without soup!
"Let's also have a bowl of braised noodles, Xiaowen, what about you?" Uncle Walnut discussed with Uncle Hua for a while, and felt that it was better to eat with the handsome old man, but he was the eldest brother among the gourmets, and he could always eat good things if he ate with him.
"I want flat soup powder, beef yards. Wen Xi licked his mouth, he had already eaten the brisket during his military training, and he was not sure if he could add points if he could eat it again, or it would be better to eat something else on the safe side.
"Okay, come right away! Three bowls of braised noodles, a bowl of flat soup noodles with beef yards!" the shopkeeper shouted, and the aunt in the white apron at the door boldly grabbed a handful of rice noodles and threw them into the boiling water, while the assistant cook on the side prepared the soup neatly.
Halogen flour is usually made with round flour, and flat flour is easier to cook than round flour. So after sitting down for more than 1 minute, Wenxi's flat noodles were taken out of the pot by the aunt.
The rice noodles are put into the bowl and they account for seven points, and then a spoonful of thick bone broth goes down to nine points, add a small spoonful of beef, sprinkle some green onions, and the hot beef flat soup powder is served in front of Wen Xi.
The reddish-brown beef broth slowly spreads through the thick white broth, and occasionally a few sticks of white and tender rice noodles are revealed through the broth. Wen Xi took some red and bright radish heads, sour yellow capers and burnt peanuts from several small dishes on the table and put them into the bowl, put down the chopsticks and took a deep breath with satisfaction.
It smells so good!
"Eat, eat, don't wait for us!" Uncle Shuai waved his hand, Wen Xi tossed like this, is it good to look more greedy? 3 people are better than 4 people are greedy, and their braised powder is about to get better.
"Three masters, I can't finish such a bowl of rice, why don't you all taste it?" Wen Xi clenched his hands, and as soon as he let go of his hand, he couldn't help but start eating! But the adults didn't move their chopsticks, and it was so rude for children to eat it, and he wanted to leave a good impression on the handsome old man. There are three days of the food festival, and Wen Xi still wants to follow behind and continue to eat and drink.
"That's right, then you're welcome. Waiter, bring three small bowls!" Uncle Hua had already been hungry for a long time, and he wished that Wen Xi would give him something to eat. Scooping up a pair of chopsticks and rice noodles, Uncle Hua threw an appreciative look at Wen Xi, good boy, I still think about Uncle I have delicious food, I don't hurt you in vain on weekdays!
Uncle Walnut didn't treat himself as an outsider, he took a pair of chopsticks of rice noodles over, and even scooped two spoonfuls of soup, only Uncle Shuai was still waiting for his own marinated noodles.
