Mu Zixi's eyes suddenly burst out with a little essence, Sikong Yao's unintentional move happened to open the dead knot in his heart, and he already had the answer to how to make noodles that would not be mushy even if they were soaked in the soup.

"I know what to do!" Mu Zixi was overjoyed.

Sikong Yao didn't expect that her casual remarks would happen to make Mu Zixi have an epiphany, and she was also slightly surprised and said, "Really? ”

Mu Zixi said confidently: "It should be possible." ”

After finishing speaking, Mu Zixi immediately drilled into the kitchen again, he kept searching inside, and finally found a stone that was as black as a meteorite, and said, "This is it!" ”

Sikong Yao looked at the black stone, which was about the size of an eight-inch cake, as for what it was used for, she really didn't know, so she asked, "What is this?" ”

"It's called alkaline noodles." Mu Zixi explained: "It is a salt block containing very high purity sodium carbonate, also known as edible alkali, which is generally added when mixing noodles, and the effect is the same as adding yeast to make bread, which can enrich the taste of noodles." ”

Sikong Yao nodded to show enlightenment, but he still didn't know the purpose of this alkaline noodle, and asked, "But what does this have to do with the noodles you want to make?" ”

Mu Zixi further explained: "In the past, the noodles used in wonton noodles would add a lot of eggs to achieve a rich egg flavor and delicate taste, but this is precisely the reason why the dough absorbs water, because the molecular structure of eggs is very loose, so it is easy to ingest air. As a result, the liquid will also flow, and over time, the noodles will become mushy. ”

Sikong Yao agreed, the hollow structure of the egg is also the reason why it can be whipped, which Sikong Yao is still very clear.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Zixi took another step and said: "At the beginning, you said that you wanted me to make noodles that would not stick in the soup, and I was thinking that I should start with the noodles themselves, that is, not using eggs. However, if you don't use eggs, it will be difficult to make up for the texture of the noodles. So you have to work on this link. In this way, this alkaline noodles can come into play. ”

Sikong Yao seemed to understand, and asked again: "So you plan to use this alkali stone to cook noodles?" ”

Mu Zixi nodded and responded, "Yes, smash this alkaline noodles." Ground into a very fine powder. Then put it in boiling water. The density of the water becomes very high, which increases the air pressure and makes the noodles very firm. It gives it a very strong mouthfeel. ”

Sikong Yao smiled and said, "Sounds good." ”

Mu Zixi also laughed, he suddenly thought of something again, and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, I thought of another good note!" You wait! ”

Seeing Mu Zixi suddenly running into the kitchen in a hurry, Sikong Yao suddenly felt bad, should this guy cook himself a bowl of noodles again?

Sikong Yao hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute, I can't eat it!" ”

However, Mu Zixi didn't pay attention to Sikong Yao's shouts at all, he was so immersed in his own thoughts that he actually waved a bamboo pole in the kitchen.

Mu Zixi laughed and said, "Look at it, this is called Zhusheng noodles!" ”

The so-called Zhusheng noodles are a traditional noodle dish of the Han people in Guangdong Province, and the Cantonese people changed their name to "sheng" because of the unlucky sound of "rod". Bamboo noodles are made by kneading and mixing noodles in the traditional way, and using bamboo to press the noodles.

The bamboo pole selected is very particular, and it should be thick enough to ensure that it has a relatively large covering surface to replace people's hands. After Mu Zixi finished kneading the dough, he put the dough on the board, and then sat on the bamboo pole, kicking it with his feet, and the bamboo pole crushed the dough, moving while pressing, so that the dough was evenly stressed, and gradually became a spread towel.

After half an hour, the dough can be kneaded into thin noodles like silver threads. And in the process of rolling, not a drop of water is added.

In the process of sobering up, Mu Zixi smashed a small piece of alkaline noodles, ground it into powder and boiled it in water, and the originally transparent water turned into crystal clear at a rate visible to the naked eye, as if it did not exist.

When cooking, you must be under the boiling water, and then quickly break up the noodles, and then immediately scoop them up, pass the cold river, and finally put them into the boiling water and blanch them a little.

The noodles cooked in this way have undergone a sudden change in the temperature difference between hot and cold, and the noodles have a superb taste, and they do not need any ingredients, but only a bowl of dry noodles, which can also make people eat with relish.

Sikong Yao picked up a noodle and put it in his mouth to chew, and suddenly layer after layer of delicate elasticity continued to expand, which was amazing.

"This is Zhusheng noodles? It feels completely different from handmade egg noodles, the texture is firm and strong, the taste is very light, but it is very fresh and sweet, and it is very resistant to chewing. Sikong Yao commented.

Mu Zixi smiled and said: "That's it, the alkaline water surface that won't paste off after a long time in the soup!" ”

Seeing Mu Zixi so confident, Sikong Yao was also happy for him, so the duel between Gu Xuanfang and the Juewei Crown was waiting for the start two days later.

Sikong Yao thought for a moment, and suddenly proposed: "By the way, in that case, I think the stuffing of wonton should also be changed, right?" ”

I don't know if what I said is right or not, but Sikong Yao still said it.

When Mu Zixi heard this, he asked again: "Why?" ”

Sikong Yao explained: "Since the taste of the noodles has been changed, and then continue to use the original wonton to match, it can't help but seem a bit rigid. I think that using half-fat, half-lean pork cheek meat instead of pork belly will make the texture more delicate, and it will be better with this refreshing noodle. ”

Mu Zixi thought about it carefully, and suddenly exclaimed: "Genius! Do as you say! ”

Sikong Yao smiled and said: "Where, I just said it casually, I don't know if it works or not, you can figure it out by yourself, hahaha." ”

Mu Zixi was confident, he was always worried about this matchup, but now he is really bright, and he looks confident, and he is even a little eager to try the game two days later.

"It's not too early, I think it's time for me to go back." Sikong Yao looked at the sky that had completely darkened, and was ready to say goodbye to Mu Zixi.

And at this time, another person suddenly came in at the door, and Sikong Yao looked up and saw that it was the head of his cooking group, that is, Dai Navy, who was a cyan Pegasus.

"Commander?" Sikong Yao was a little surprised, how could this Dai Tibetan Blue come to Gu Xuanfang.

Mu Zixi was also a little surprised when he saw the appearance of Dai Zangqing, although Gu Xuanfang and the cyan Tianma were not hostile relations, but they usually had no contacts, and now that the war was imminent, seeing the appearance of Dai Zangqing, he couldn't help but have some doubts.

Dai Zangqing walked in front of Mu Zixi, lifted it casually, and threw a heavy object on the table, and suddenly made a loud bang.

Mu Zixi frowned and asked, "Wear navy blue, what does this mean?" ”

Dai Haiqing opened the black cloth wrapped in heavy objects, and said at the same time: "Give a gift." ”

As the black cloth was lifted, the living creatures hidden under the cloth suddenly shone with an astonishing luster, making the already dark sky dazzling people unable to open their eyes.

Mu Zixi endured the piercing light, trying to distinguish what was hidden under the black cloth, and after his eyes slightly adjusted to the brightness of some strong light, the oval outline gradually introduced into his eyes, and Mu Zixi suddenly stiffened, because he saw that there was an elephant mussel half a meter long!

Looking at the size that seemed to be impossible, Mu Zixi's eyes showed the color of continued greed, how delicious the soup base cooked with such an elephant clam should be!

"This ......" However, coveting and coveting, Mu Zixi did not dare to accept this gift at will, he shifted his gaze from the elephant mussel, looked at Dai Zangqing again, and asked, "What does this mean?" Gu Xuanfang and the cyan Pegasus have never had a relationship, why did you give me such a big gift? ”

"Don't you understand the so-called truth of cold lips and teeth?" Dai Zangqing sat down next to Sikong Yao's table, took the alkaline water surface on the table, and said with a smile: "Now this inner courtyard is the only one in the Absolute Crown, if it is allowed to continue to expand its territory, sooner or later, the cyan Pegasus will also fall into someone else's pocket, I just don't want to see that day come, I happen to have this useless thing on hand, so I will sell you a favor." ”

Dai Zangqing said the truth, Mu Zixi also understands that now the behavior of the Juewei Crown in the inner courtyard can be described as becoming more and more arrogant, and there is a tendency to monopolize everything.

Immediately afterwards, Dai Zangqing suddenly looked at Sikong Yao and said with a smile: "And I, the new member of the group, are all on the pole with the Absolute Crown, if your Gu Xuanfang is cleaned up, the next one will definitely be the turn of the cyan Pegasus, right, Sikong Yao?" ”

Feeling Dai Zangqing's star, Sikong Yao suddenly stood upside down, in the end, she still knew about it to the head of the regiment, she smiled awkwardly and said: "The head of the regiment thinks it is, that's it......"

Mu Zixi was afraid that Dai Tibetan Blue would embarrass Sikong Yao, so he hurriedly said: "This matter has nothing to do with her, if I knew in advance that she was already a cyan Pegasus, it means that I wouldn't let her get involved." ”

Seeing that Mu Zixi was so nervous, Dai Zangqing also laughed and said, "Do I look like such a cautious person?" ”

Dai Zangqing looked at Sikong Yao again, and said, "Don't worry, I don't mean to blame you, although this matter is a bit reckless, but I still agree with your approach, after all, one day, when the cyan Pegasus wants to stand at the top of the inner courtyard, the Juewei Crown is also a stumbling block that has to be eradicated." ”

When Dai Zangqing said this, Mu Zixi suddenly felt an amazing chill, and he subconsciously held his breath, because the ambition he perceived from the man in front of him was tongue-breaking. (To be continued......)
