A sudden showdown detonates the entire food court.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, and the crowd was gradually becoming crowded and crowded, the people in the management office immediately proposed that the duel be moved to a small stage in the center of the square.

It didn't take long for the entire stage to be surrounded by college students who rushed to hear the news.

Hu Laosan stood on the stage and looked at the crowd around him, his face full of pride and confidence. I may not be as good as this kid when making steamed buns, but I make noodles, hum......

Thirty years ago, Hu Laosan, who was only 18 years old, went to Jinxi, known as the "hometown of noodles", to learn noodle cooking.

After more than 10 years of hard work, Hu Laosan's Jinxi noodle restaurant has become a famous noodle snack in Jinghua City, in addition to the students in the university town, many Jinghua citizens have come to visit, just to taste a bite of authentic Jinxi noodles.

Hu Laosan is confident that in the Jinghua realm, there will definitely not be more than ten chefs who can beat him in the noodle field, and Happy will naturally not be among them!

With the victory in hand, Hu Laosan naturally didn't mind showing his demeanor, but he said to Happy with a smug face: "Boy, since you agree with us to face each other, then it's up to you to decide what to do, lest someone say that I am bullying the small!" ”

Chinese noodles, there are many kinds of varieties, there are hundreds of kinds of famous ones, among them, Jinghua fried sauce noodles, Jinxi knife cut noodles, Henan braised noodles, Xichuan dandan noodles, Hubei hot dry noodles are the most famous, known as the five major noodles in China.

Happy wiped it on the countertop, it was very clean, and when he heard Hu Laosan's pretentious words, he said casually: "Then make noodles!" ”

Rolling noodles? Hear happy words. Many college students in the audience showed puzzled looks, what kind of noodles are they? How come you've never heard of it?

"Master Xiao Zhou, what kind of noodles is this? Is it easy to do? Li Muxue asked Xiao Zhou beside her worriedly.

Xiao Zhou said with a solemn face: "Rolling noodles is what we usually call 'ramen', in some places it is also called 'throwing noodles' or 'pulling noodles', which is a kind of difficult operation technique in all noodle making, and there are many classifications in ramen, including small ramen, hollow ramen, stuffed ramen, dragon beard noodles, water ramen, ......etc."

Under Xiao Zhou's introduction, everyone in the neighborhood knew that this noodle was ramen! People who don't usually pay attention to these things know that there is so much knowledge and attention to in this ramen!

While introducing the ramen, Xiao Zhou's face showed a trace of worry: "I've never heard that the boss can do ramen!" In the past, when I was in school, there were also teachers who gave us lectures. If you want to really master the art of ramen, you won't be able to enter the door without three or five years of hard training! ”

"Huh?" After listening to Xiao Zhou's words, Li Muxue's heart suddenly rose, and her eyes were firmly fixed on the happiness on the stage. There was apprehension and worry in his eyes.

At this time, other students around have also searched for relevant information through mobile phones. Only then did I realize that this "noodles" was ramen!

"Oops! Worst! "There was a freshman at Jinghua University who heard his companion's explanation. immediately shouted, attracting the attention of others, with doubts in their eyes.

The companion immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The freshman said anxiously, "Have you forgotten? That Hu Laosan's Shanxi noodle restaurant, isn't the best noodles to be knife-cut noodles and ramen! Happy senior, didn't you just hit someone's muzzle! ”

"Huh?!" At this time, everyone remembered the Shanxi noodle restaurant opened by Hu Laosan. It is the noodles that are famous for their Shanxi characteristics, and the knife-cut noodles and Shanxi ramen noodles are his signature noodles!

"Happy seniors don't look good!" The freshman looked worried, and such worry also appeared on the faces of many Jinghua students.

Their thinking is actually very simple, just because Happy was a student at Jinghua University. As alumni, they naturally subconsciously sided with him.

Under the showdown, many people began to worry about being happy.

On the stage of the duel, when Hu Laosan heard Happy said that he wanted to stretch noodles, he was stunned at first, and then ecstatic, he also heard the exclamations of the students in the audience, and pointed to Happy Ha Luha and laughed: "Boy, I have a lot of Hu Laosan, I can give you another chance to choose!" ”

At this time, Happy had already lifted a noodle bag and poured out the flour inside, hearing Hu Laosan's fake persuasion, he raised his head and glanced at Hu Laosan, and said lightly: "If you want to compete, you will see the real chapter with your subordinates, and it will take so many words, is your noodles made with your mouth?" ”

"You!" When Hu Laosan heard this, he was immediately furious, "Stinky boy! You're going to die! Don't regret losing! ”

Hu Laosan pulled the noodle bag on the side, gave a hula, and poured out all the flour that was more than five catties inside, but because the action was too violent, some flour sprayed into the air, choking him half to death.

This self-posing oolong suddenly made everyone in the audience laugh, Hu Laosan was ashamed and angry, simply stopped talking, blackened his face, and began to move.

You bastard! Lao Tzu is making a fool of himself in front of so many people, and I will see if Lao Tzu will humiliate you later! Hu Laosan's eyes were shining with fierceness, and his hands were fiercely inserted into the flour, as if he regarded the flour as happy, and crushed it.

There are different types of noodles, but the first process of making noodles is the same, and that is the noodles.

Happy didn't care what Hu Laosan was doing on the other side, he poured the flour in the noodle bag on the workbench, posed in the shape of a volcanic crater, and then poured an appropriate amount of water and a small amount of salt into the mouth, and then put some alkaline water on it, and then began to mix noodles.

Under the mixing of water, the flour quickly melts and condenses into a ball, and the happy hands move together, and the ten fingers continue to knead the dough evenly, and this kneading is more than half an hour.

At this time, Hu Laosan's side had finished cooking noodles and began to enter the second and most important process of ramen - ramen.

seems to be deliberately trying to show off, Hu Laosan slammed the noodles on the desk every time, making a "pop" sound. After each beating, Hu Laosan folded the noodles in half. Then he was hit on the table again.

"The seventh buckle!" Offstage, Xiao Zhou's eyes stared at Hu Laosan, looking at his skillful movements and relaxed expression, Xiao Zhou's face became more worried, "Looking at his appearance, it is enough to do more than twelve buckles!" ”

"Twelve buckles?" Li Muxue's gaze never left Happy Heart, and when she heard Xiao Zhou's words, she immediately asked.

"In the evaluation criteria of ramen, one stretch is folded in half into one button. With each pull, the number of noodles doubles, and the difficulty doubles," Xiao Zhou explained, "and it's now the seventh button." This noodle has also reached 128, but I look at this Hu Laosan. It's a relaxed expression throughout. So I guess he'll be able to reach more than 12 buckles. Twelve buckles, this is one of the criteria for evaluating a senior pastry chef! ”

"The ninth buckle!" The guy on the side saw that Hu Laosan was stretching twice in succession, but the happiness on the other side was still kneading the dough in an orderly manner, and he suddenly became anxious, "Oh, why is the boss still kneading the dough?" And so on. But I'm going to lose! ”

Although there is no time limit for this matchup, everyone knows whether it will be successful or not, if everyone has cooked the noodles and you are still kneading the noodles there. Needless to say, you will definitely be sentenced to lose.

In the audience, many people also began to mutter: "Is Happy ready to give up?" It's just for the sake of face that you are holding on to the stage? ”

"Humph! Kneading the dough is so rubbing, and by the time you pull the dough well, mine will already be finished! Hu Laosan glanced at Happy on the other side with disdain, he, like everyone in the audience, naturally decided that Happy was going to give up.

Just when everyone decided that Happy was ready to give up, they saw Happy suddenly straighten up, grabbed the dough that had been kneaded into long strips with both hands, and fell on the table with a "pop", and he finally finished kneading the dough!

"Huh?" Seeing this scene, Xiao Zhou and a few other guys from the bun shop suddenly exclaimed, their voices full of surprise and worry.

"What's wrong?" When Li Muxue heard this, she immediately asked.

"Alas! The boss is in a hurry! He forgot that the freshly kneaded noodles must be put aside for a while, which is called gluten noodles, which can promote the production of gluten and make the noodles stronger! Xiao Zhou explained, "But the boss directly skipped this process, and this time, without going through the noodles, the noodles are too soft and can easily break!" ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Li Muxue's worry in her heart became even greater, she stared at Happy tightly, opened her mouth to remind Happy Happy, but she didn't know what to say.

seemed to sense the worry in Li Muxue's heart, and suddenly turned around happily and smiled at Li Muxue, the smile contained a trace of concern and full certainty.

For some reason, seeing this happy smile, Li Muxue's heart calmed down suddenly, she clenched her fists tightly, she will definitely win!

Hu Laosan has been paying attention to happiness in addition to ramen, and when he saw that after kneading the noodles, he actually skipped the noodles directly and began to stretch, and a trace of ridicule suddenly appeared on his face: "A layman is a layman!" I can't even forget such an important process as noodles! Boy, I think you'd better admit defeat early, so as not to be embarrassed! ”

Happy glanced at him lightly, his arms trembled, and the hands holding the two ends of the noodles shook one after another, and the noodles were quickly pulled apart.

The fourth buckle! The fifth buckle! Sixth buckle! Happy waved his hands as fast as lightning, and the ramen seemed to have changed into a magic side in his hands, and in the blink of an eye, there were already hundreds of noodles in his hands.

"The seventh buckle!" Xiao Zhou clenched his fist fiercely, with a slow surprise on his face, he never expected that his boss would complete seven buckles in such a few blinks of an eye!

After doing the seventh buckle, happy did not mean to stop, the speed of both hands did not decrease, a pull and a pull, the eighth, ninth, and tenth buckles......

At this time, Hu Laosan had already completed the twelfth button, and the noodles in his hand had as many as four thousand and ninety-six, and the slender noodles hung on his hand, like a fine silver thread, which was very good-looking!

Looking at the amazing eyes of the students in the audience, Hu Laosan was very satisfied, and his face showed a trace of pride, twelve buttons, this is a symbol of a senior pastry chef!

To be honest, from the beginning, Hu Laosan didn't take happiness in his eyes, in his opinion, Happy has lost since he agreed to compete with him for noodles.

Noodles hanging from both arms. Hu Laosan looked around, his face full of pride.

At this moment, there was an exclamation from the other side, and Hu Laosan's face suddenly showed a trace of ridicule: "Hmph, let's play and jump!" Even the noodles are not finished, so it's no wonder that the noodles don't break! ”

As Hu Laosan spoke, he turned his head away, looked at it fixedly, and suddenly his face changed greatly.

The expected scene of the noodles breaking did not happen at all, in the hands of the happy. The silky noodles were swaying and shaking, undulating like waves on the shore.

"The twelfth buckle! Caught up! There was a burst of applause from the audience, this is the shout of the bun shop guys, in just one minute and less than a short time, Happy has completed twelve buckles. caught up with Hu Laosan, and this is still not a face!

In the opinion of the bun shop guys. Boss, this has worked a miracle!

"What? That's impossible! Hu Laosan subconsciously felt dazzled. I blinked hard, looked at it again, and saw the noodles on my hands shaking happily, ready to be buttoned!

"How is that possible? Without going through the noodles, how could he have pulled the noodles to twelve buttons?! Hu Laosan's heart has already set off a huge wave, but at this time he has no time to think about it. Because Happy has completed the thirteenth deduction!

"Damn it! Where did this kid learn his ramen skills? Hu Laosan scolded angrily in his heart, and he didn't dare to slack off in his hands, so he carefully shook his wrist to close the noodles together, and then shook them gently. The thirteenth buckle was also completed.

Just completed the thirteenth buckle, and before Hu Laosan could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard a burst of applause from the opposite side again: "The fourteenth buckle!" ”

This time, whether they knew the ramen business or not, they all cried out.

"So fast?!" As soon as he heard this call, Hu Laosan's face suddenly changed, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the side to Xingxing, only to see that his posture was proudly erect, and the noodles on his hands were as thin as hair, hanging in front of the stage in wisps, really like a Milky Way Waterfall!

"Ha Lu Ha! This is the dragon's beard noodles! The boss is mighty! In the audience, Xiao Zhou shouted, his face was filled with incomparable joy, he never thought that the boss would be able to pull out the dragon beard noodles in this situation!

Dragon whisker noodles, according to legend, were created by a chef in the imperial dining room of the Ming Dynasty of Huaguo, as thin as hair, like a dragon's whisker, which aroused the appetite of the emperor at that time. Because of the posture of rolling the noodles, such as the majestic mountains and rivers, the stretched noodles are as thin as hair, like intertwined dragon whiskers, so it is called dragon whisker noodles.

As the first type of ramen, the standard of dragon beard noodles is to reach more than 14 buckles, which is 16,384 heels!

After this ramen reaches 12 buckles, the difficulty has risen sharply countless times, and many pastry chefs are even stuck at this level, and they can no longer break through to 13 buckles, let alone reach 14 buckles! And happy, but so easy to reach this step!

At this time, Hu Laosan finally felt that something was wrong, the confidence he was full of at the beginning had disappeared without a trace, he had run a noodle restaurant for so many years, and he had made ramen countless times, but the number of times he made dragon beard noodles was extremely limited. This is not only because the production skills of the dragon beard noodles are too good, but also because he is time-consuming and laborious.

But at this moment, Hu Laosan had to do it.

"Fight!" Hu Laosan gritted his teeth, shook his arms, closed the noodles with both hands again, and carefully pulled them open.

"The fourteenth buckle!" Hu Laosan breathed a sigh of relief, and he finally completed it successfully! Hmph, it's not a big deal!

"Wow! That's cool! The fifteenth buckle! Just as Hu Laosan was proud that his sword was not old, there was another earth-shattering exclamation from the side, and everyone in the square couldn't help but scream.

Happy stretched out his arms, one hand held the sky, and the noodles in his hands were like delicate and smooth silk piled up all over the countertop, and the momentum of Happy showed at this time, as if he was holding not noodles in his hands, but thousands of soldiers!

The fifteenth buckle! Thirty-two thousand seven hundred and sixty-eight!

When someone in the audience counted the number of noodles in Xingxing's hand, there were countless exclamations from the crowd again!

"Oh my God! Is this still something that can be done by people? More than 30,000 noodles! I rub! Awesome! ”

"Happy senior, mighty and domineering!"

"Oh my god! Is this magic?! It's magic, isn't it?! ”

Everyone shouted in admiration, trying to calm their excitement by shouting loudly, and at this moment, someone shouted nearby: "Hey, don't make any noise! Look! ”

"Brush!" The whole square fell silent in an instant, and this instantaneous change from noise to silence made many people feel a little unmissing, and they were even more shocked.

Happy shook the noodles in his hand, reached out and straightened out the other end of the noodles spread on the countertop, and put them in his hand again.

Seeing this action, the audience once again let out a burst of exclamations: "What is he going to do?" Is he still going to continue?! ”

After an exclamation, everyone closed their mouths in unison, and some even raised their hands to cover their mouths, all of them looking forward to the next scene.

Happy held the noodles at both ends in one hand, shook it slightly, and then held the other hand on the other end, and the wrists of both hands trembled rapidly and slightly to a degree that was difficult for others to notice, and the noodles between the hands were quickly pulled apart.

"Sixteenth buckle! Sixty-five thousand five hundred and thirty-six! ”

This is the unison cry of everyone present, shaking the heavens and the earth!

At this time, Hu Laosan's face was already pale, and after seeing that he was happy to complete the sixteenth buckle, he stumbled and slammed his hand on the countertop, and the noodles as thin as silver threads instantly turned into slag, and his dragon beard noodles were destroyed.

But at this time, no one paid attention to him, everyone's attention was focused on Happy Happy, and their eyes were full of enthusiasm and expectation.

What are they looking forward to?

Needless to say, Happy continues to meet their expectations with practical actions.

Closing the noodles in both hands again, Happy paused suddenly.

"Huh? What's wrong? What's wrong? This pause made everyone's hearts hang in the audience, and they thought that something was wrong with happiness, and they asked one after another.

"Shhhh Be quiet! Don't bother him! This was an reproachful answer from others, and for a while, the whole audience fell silent again.

Under the expectant, worried, admiring, and surprised eyes of everyone, Happy grabbed two handfuls of flour from the flour belt on the side, sprinkled them on the countertop, and then grabbed the other end of the noodles again with one hand, shaking both hands.

The seventeenth buckle!

"Yay......"

Before everyone could shout, Happy closed the noodles again at lightning speed, and it was another pull!

The eighteenth buckle!

Everyone opened their mouths and just wanted to shout, but they saw that Happy closed the noodles again, and it was another button!

Then, one more buckle!

The twentieth buckle!

Looking at the noodles in his hand, which were already thinner than a human hair, he said that this was already its limit, he put down the noodles at one end, and raised the noodles high with the other hand.

The silver-white face naturally hangs down, like thousands of silver threads, like an inverted Milky Way!

"What a white hair!" Seeing this scene, someone suddenly remembered a poem by Li Bai and couldn't help but read it out.

Twenty buckles! One hundred and forty-eight thousand five hundred seventy-six!

Hallucination?! Marvel?! Magic?!

Everyone opened their mouths, but no sound came out of their mouths, and they were already stunned by the waterfall-like face in front of them! (To be continued......)
