28. Taiping Swallow
"It's about the same as ravioli, but it's not ravioli." Ning Xi replied.
"What the hell is that, just sue me!"
"I'll find out at night." Ning Xi still insisted on selling Guanzi.
"Well, if you don't say it, don't say it, who is rare!" Meng Shuangshuang turned around angrily to go out, Ning Xi grabbed her with a smile and handed her a steaming bowl: "I tried it just now, you can try it." ”
A fragrance was sent to the end of his nose along the steaming heat, and Meng Shuangshuang was immediately aroused by the gluttony in his stomach: "I know, Ningxi, you are the best." Picking up the spoon and stirring it, he couldn't help but pout, "Isn't this just wonton, you coax me!" ”
"It looks like a ravioli, but it's different from ordinary ravioli, you can know it when you eat it."
Meng Shuangshuang suspiciously scooped one and put it in his mouth, the skin was smooth, and when he took a bite, his mouth was immediately overflowing with the delicious gravy in the filling, and there was a crisp taste, which was water chestnuts that were deliberately not cut too hard.
"How?" Ning Xi looked at her expectantly.
"Delicious!" Meng Shuangshuang nodded violently, then looked at Ning Xi's expression of disdain, and hurriedly tasted it carefully, and said, "This skin is different from ordinary wontons. ”
"How is that different?"
"Well, it's tough, it's chewy, and, it's very fragrant, there's a special smell of meat."
"Yes, we both have tongues like puppies."
"You're a puppy!" Meng Shuangshuang quickly finished the contents of the bowl, and even drank not a drop of soup left, and the two of them carried the prepared things into the car and set off for the night market.
The Zeng family left a small place for the Ningxi sisters next to their noodle stall, and they didn't have many things, two stoves next to each other, with two large pots on them, one pot of boiled milk soup, warmed over slow fire, and the other pot boiling water. In addition, there is a pot of chopsticks, a pot of fillings, plus a table, and a pocket that Ning Xishen mysteriously carries.
After everything was laid out, Ning Xi wiped the table clean, took out a piece of lean pork on the leg of pig, and took out a wooden stick with a thick front and a thin back as if he were juggling, and beat it on the pork unhurriedly.
Meng Shuangshuang didn't care about it originally, but when she saw that Ning Xi had been knocking for nearly a hundred times and still didn't stop, she was a little strange: "Ning Xi, what are you doing here?" ”
Ning Xi smiled mysteriously, did not answer, and continued to knock on the pieces of meat under his hands.
This series of rhythmic "click, click" sounds attracted the attention of passers-by, and gradually some people stopped.
"What is this girl doing?"
"There's something wrong with her, right, it's okay to play with meat?"
"Hey, aren't these the two little girls who used to sell lo-mei here?"
"That's right, it's them, I haven't been here for a few days, what are you doing this time to eat?"
"I don't know, I've been knocking, and I can't see anything."
Slowly there were more and more crowds of onlookers, the rich milk soup exuded an attractive fragrance, everyone waited more and more greedily, hated to have to take care of everything, and immediately gave a bowl, but Ningxi was unhurried, pounding the pieces of meat one by one, the more she was not in a hurry, the more anxious the people next to her became.
Besides, Jun Shaofeng, after going back that day, he gave two bottles of spiced celery to Princess Qi, and then his sister-in-law Jun Peizhi asked him again, so he sent someone to Sungai Lou to buy some back, who knows that not long after, the little guy who was sent to buy spiced celery ran back out of breath, and said to Jun Shaofeng breathlessly: "Shuang, Sungai Lou is gone, it's gone." ”
"What? The good Sungai Building, how can it be said that it is gone? ”
"I was smashed by Miss An, and even the signboard was smashed."
"No, that really did it!" It happened that Jun Peizhi was also beside her, and she couldn't help but interject when she heard this.
"You're embarrassed to say that you're not harmed by your nonsense!" Jun Shaofeng glared at Jun Peizhi fiercely, and strode out, "Let's go, follow me to have a look." The chief and the little guy next to him hurriedly followed.
When he saw the tragic situation of Shuangxi Tower being smashed, Jun Shaofeng was also stunned, the fifth brother asked me to be her backstage, and now that she has been smashed like this, she doesn't give him face in the background, right?
"Go and ask where Miss Ning is." This little girl shouldn't be too hard to think about, right? No, you have to find her quickly, otherwise something will happen, and the fifth brother will not let him go.
"Back to the world, others say that Miss Ning and Miss Meng went back to Xicheng."
"Let's go, go to Xicheng to find it."
Jun Shaofeng didn't know Ningxi's residence in Xicheng, only knew that the night market where they used to set up stalls could only be found there.
The Ximen Night Market was as lively as ever, the shouting was endless, and all kinds of snacks exuded an attractive fragrance, attracting passers-by to stop, but Jun Shaofeng and his party were in a hurry, searching for the slender figures of the two girls in the crowd.
"Shizi, I don't know why it's so lively over there, but do you want to go over and have a look?"
Jun Shaofeng looked at the place in front of him surrounded by people, he really didn't want to squeeze into a group with these vulgarly dressed flat-headed people, but he was very curious about what could arouse the interest of so many people. Thinking about it, he looked up, trying to find a higher place to take a look, and when he looked up, he saw a familiar face.
Jun Shaofeng excitedly raised his hand and waved at the man: "Fifth brother, fifth brother!" ”
Jun Qianyu slowly moved his gaze down, and after seeing that it was Jun Shaofeng, his brows frowned imperceptibly.
Jun Shaofeng had already jumped up happily: "Fifth brother, what are you looking at?" ”
"Ask you to help me look at the restaurant, what do you think?"
Jun Shaofeng immediately made a bitter face: "Fifth brother, I don't want to either, how did I know that An Mingyue would be so crazy!" Wasn't I afraid that something would happen to the little girl surnamed Ning, so I hurried to find her? By the way, Fifth Brother, why are you here too? ”
Jun Qianyu ignored him and looked at the front by himself, Jun Shaofeng followed his gaze and looked over, happy, the focus of the crowd was not the little girl surnamed Ning?
I saw Ning Xi holding a wooden stick, pounding the meat pieces on the table one by one, under her unremitting hammering, the meat pieces gradually deformed, collapsed little by little, and turned into meat wool, Ning Xi occasionally turned the meat wool with his left hand, sprinkled a little glutinous rice flour on it, and continued to beat, slowly, the meat wool turned into a gelatinous meat puree.
Jun Shaofeng smiled: "What is this girl doing?" Is it fun? ”
The crowd of onlookers was also discussing, and even Meng Shuangshuang was puzzled, not knowing what kind of wine was sold in Ningxi's gourd.
Ning Xi smiled slightly, finally stopped the thrashing action, sprinkled the potato flour on the meat puree, gently patted and pressed, mixed evenly, and finally took out the rolling pin and rolled out the dough mixed with the meat puree into a sheet nearly the size of a tabletop.
"Is this rolling noodles or making dumplings?" Someone couldn't help but ask. Some of them stretched their necks to look closer, only to see that the pink skin was as thin as a piece of paper, and it could still pass through the light when it was lifted. Everyone is very curious, what is it that is delicious after so much effort?
Ning Xi cut the flour skin into two-inch square squares, and was busy for so long a day, and finally folded it up only a small stack that was just the height of his thumb, and then took out the filling prepared in the morning, picked up a piece of flour skin in his left hand, held a pair of chopsticks in his right hand, and quickly picked and pinched, almost no one could see her movements clearly, and a delicate wonton was wrapped and fell into the bowl.
"It's been a long time, it turned out to be a wonton!" But it looks different from the usual wontons, it looks like gold ingots, and from another angle, it looks like a swallow with wings ready to fly, what is the difference in the taste of the wontons made with so much effort?
"Ning Ji Taiping Yan, ten wen a bowl, one bowl of ten." Ning Xi only spoke for the first time at this time.
"Shiwen? That's too expensive, isn't it? "A large bowl of noodles from the Zengjia noodle stall next to it is only three cents, which can make an adult full, and what kind of Taiping Yan with their fingers so big, ten of them are not enough to even stuff their teeth, and they dare to ask for ten cents?
"I'll have a bowl!" That's the old customer who knows Ningxi's craftsmanship.
"Great!" Meng Shuangshuang responded crisply, stabbed the stove open, and the two cauldrons quickly boiled.
Ning Xi quickly grabbed a handful of Taiping Yan and threw it into the pot of boiling water, rolled it for a while, immediately fished it up, poured it into an empty bowl, and poured a spoonful of snow-white milk soup into it, poured it in, and sprinkled a few green onions casually: "Okay, please use it slowly." ”
The first guest carefully scooped up a penny worth Taiping Yan and put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and suddenly his face changed, and then he continued to eat without saying a word.
"How? Is it delicious? ”
The man didn't stop until he had drunk the last drop of soup in the bowl and sighed deeply, "One more bowl!" ”
"I'm sorry, I don't have many materials tonight, and one person is limited to one bowl." Ning Xi smiled and refused.
"No, it won't!" The man looked annoyed, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have eaten so fast just now." ”
"I'll have a bowl!" "I'll have a bowl too!" The crowd erupted, and it was no longer too expensive at this time, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to grab it if my hands were slow.
Everyone who grabbed it was like a treasure, and they were reluctant to eat too fast in small bites, and even a mouthful of soup had to be tasted for a long time before they were willing to swallow it, and there were not many tables and stools lent to them by the Zeng family, but Ning Xi was unhurried, and waited for the people at the previous table to finish eating before cooking the next table, and those who had not eaten it later urged those who were eating, and they were eager to go directly to drive people away.
The corners of Jun Qianyu's mouth, who was standing next to him, turned up, and he chuckled: "Sure enough, it's a weed that can't be killed!" He thought that she would not be knocked down by such difficulties, but he didn't expect her to be able to get up so quickly, and she didn't even need to breathe a little in between.
