"Chef, are you saying he can already make 7-button ramen?" Liu Shang's eyes showed suspicion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"To be honest, I don't believe it either, because he still has to memorize recipes, so he doesn't have that much time. It's better to do this, tomorrow, you ask Zheng Ke to make a bowl of ramen for the customer, and see his reaction, don't you know. ā
"No problem, you'll watch me tomorrow, right?" Liu Shang patted his chest and said without hesitation.
At noon the next day, the entire restaurant was still full.
The waiter handed the menu to Liu Shang, Liu Shang glanced at the dishes on it, and said to Zheng Ke, who was preparing the ingredients: "Zheng Ke, you go to make a ramen, it's very thin." ā
"Me?" Zheng Ke was stunned and asked in surprise.
"yes, I'm making yakisoba right now, and I can't spare my hands, so you made this ramen. Why, no confidence?" asked Liu Shang.
"How is that possible? Fine, right?" Zheng Ke washed his hands and picked up a noodle.
The first ramen needs to be pulled different times, and in general, the second thin ramen needs to be pulled 6 times, while the extra thin ramen needs to be pulled 7 times.
Zheng Ke took the flour filament, did not panic, first kneaded the flour into strips, and then tightly held the two ends of the dough to pull and pull, and completed 4 times in a blink of an eye, the action was so skillful, not like a novice at all, but like a master with several months of experience.
Can he really pull out 7-button ramen?
Just when Liu Shang was suspicious of Zheng Ke, the waiter who came over just now suddenly ran to the window.
"Wait a minute, Master Liu Shang, the customer just said that he wanted to change the bowl of ramen to a capillary one. ā
"What?capillary?" Liu Shang was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned to Zheng Ke and said, "Zheng Ke, this cooking noodle needs 8 buckles, let me make it, right?"
Compared with capillary and extra-fine, its biggest feature is that it is slender, almost the same width as the cup surface. At this point, the noodles become thinner and easy to break, not to mention, if they are pulled unevenly, resulting in inconsistent thickness, those extraordinarily slender parts will gelatinize after being put into the pot.
Zheng Ke didn't seem to hear Liu Shang speak, but continued to pull the noodles, and soon completed 7 buckles.
(Sure enough, it's the same as the chef said, but Zheng Ke has already mastered 7 buckles.) However, customers are biting into the hair. ļ¼
Just when Liu Shang wondered if Zheng Ke had heard what he had just said, Zheng Ke handed over the noodles of his right hand to his left hand, hooked the middle of the noodles with his right index finger, and stretched them again, ready to stretch them for the eighth time.
Is he going to pull the capillary ramen?...... This...... It's too hard, isn't it?
Liu Shang's face became a little ugly, in four days, Zheng Ke went from 6 deductions to 8 deductions, is this the ability of the students of Yuanyue Academy?
Each ramen in Zheng Ke's hand was much thinner than the previous ramen, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, put the noodles in his hand into the water, and after soaking them in the water with chopsticks a few times, he took out the noodles, put them in a bowl, and then added the noodle soup and beef.
"Master Liu Shang, how about you take a look at my ramen?"
Liu Shang looked at the ramen noodles on the counter, the noodles were uniform in thickness and smooth in color, even if he wanted to make better ramen, it took a lot of effort.
"You're really surprising me, I thought you were going to have a month?"
"Haha, maybe I have a little talent in cooking, right?" Zheng Ke laughed awkwardly.
To be honest, if Zheng Ke didn't say it, no one would know how he spent the past few days, and until now, his two arms have been in severe soreness.
If it weren't for the unexpected effect of the cooking notes, he wouldn't have mastered the art of ramen so quickly.
Cooking notes, which he considers to be a chicken rib, gave a detailed improvement plan when he prepared the ramen.
Knowing the mistakes and then conducting targeted training is far more efficient than step-by-step training. And this experience also began to make Zheng Ke re-examine the role of cooking notes. Maybe it has more features to dig into.
He followed the entire improvement plan, training again and again, and in just four days, he went through hundreds of exercises.
What made Zheng Ke feel even more painful was that when he dragged his tired steps back to his hut, he still had to continue to recite the recipe given by Xuan Li.
That feeling...... Well, it's better to live than to die.
Liu Shang recovered from the shock after a while. However, he also figured out one thing, with his talent for cooking, it is impossible to be admitted to Yuanyue Academy. The people in that school were all monsters, and the boy in front of him was also one of them, perhaps, more ferocious than ordinary monsters.
Seven days passed in a hurry, and Zheng Ke learned as much as he could from Liu Shang about noodle cooking, and he had doubts about some parts of Chunfangyuan's recipes. Liu Shang also tried his best to answer for Zheng Ke.
"Master Liu Shang, how do you feel about Zheng Ke?" On the seventh day, Xuan Li took the time to call Liu Shang, "Have you tried the noodles he made, and how does it taste?"
"His ability to learn and his talent for cooking is the strongest I've ever seen. However, I have also eaten the pasta he makes, but it is at the upper middle level, which is better than the average master, but it does not match his level and talent. ā
"That is, he needs to digest these things now. Xuan Li seemed to be thoughtful.
After separating from Liu Shang, Xuan Li found Zheng Ke, who was preparing ingredients in the spare kitchen.
"Sister Xuanli, are you here to test my memorization of recipes? Let me tell you, I ...... all those recipes" Zheng Ke's two hands were inserted into the basin with flour, speculating on Xuanli's intentions.
"None of that matters......" Xuan Li waved his hand.
Unimportant?
Zheng Ke has a black line, these days he is almost hovering between life and death, and all the recipes are memorized, but in exchange for the word "unimportant". Senior sister, you're too unreliable to speak, aren't you?
In fact, these days, Xuanli also pays attention to Zheng Ke's actions, if Zheng Ke's performance can't satisfy her, she would have kicked Zheng Ke out of Chunfangyuan with a slap.
"Are you going to use ramen for the qualifiers?" asked Xuanli.
"Of course not, it's just that ramen is a technical job, and I have to take this opportunity to learn ramen, otherwise, after this village, there will be no such shop." ā
Zheng Ke remembers what he said to Catherine that he would not use ramen in the autumn qualifiers.
At that time, he didn't know what to choose other than ramen. Saying that it doesn't make ramen, it's a bit of a gamble.
But now, Zheng Ke has learned other noodle dishes from Liu Shang, plus the two major cookbooks given by Xuan Li, his choices have suddenly increased.
"It's okay, you're not going to make ramen. Xuan Li had an expression of "You kid is so smart".
