Chapter 984
Chinese people have eaten noodles for more than 4,000 years, and the history of China for more than 4,000 years is like a long noodle, flowing down with taste. As a product of carrying culture, noodles also have their own "bones" - it pays attention to the tendons of the physique, pays attention to the connotation of taste, and it has been attacking the city and expanding its territory, from north to south, from middle to outside, from the food in the Yellow River Basin, to an important element in the world food culture.
Green onion oil noodles are a specialty of the north, and they are eaten with boiled noodles with chopped green onions and sesame oil.
However, it is the Shanghai-style noodles that are famous, and among all the Shanghai-style noodles, the simplest is Yangchun noodles and scallion oil noodles. Perhaps it is for simple reasons that there are not many people who can really do these two aspects well.
"Just make such simple noodles, is it appropriate to entertain Donald?" Xu Cheng looked at Fang Mo Nandao, who was busy in front of the stove. "Will there be a lack of sincerity!"
Fang Monan chuckled, "You want to say that we are a country of etiquette, and we must spare no effort to entertain Donald and make Donald feel at home!" She then laughed, "A rich man like Donald, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, running on the ground, has never seen anything, has never eaten anything." ”
"That's what it is...... But the scallion oil noodles. Xu Cheng shook his head, "No!" Not! ”
"I promise Donald will love to eat." Fang Menan assured.
Xu Cheng wanted to say something more, but it happened that the phone called, and he left in a hurry after answering the phone.
As soon as he left, Lin Jiaxiang sneered, "Slap a swollen face and become fat, and stand on tiptoe to be tall." Really, we don't like to send a table full of Han people. ”
"Don't say that the people are vain. The main meaning is modesty. It's been a form of hospitality for thousands of years. I'm afraid that there is something wrong with taking care of the guests. It embodies the culture of the Chinese people's emphasis on righteousness and feelings. Grandma Lin said with a smile.
"Friends come with wine, jackals come with shotguns." Liang Zi said with murderous intent.
"Is Liang Zi deeply touched?" Fang Monan raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Liang Zi smiled and said nothing, but he had a deep understanding.
Fang Monan shook his head with a smile, "Self-denial is one of the aspects, you may not understand this, like Brother Lin, you don't need to take out the best things at all, because it is the AA system." ”
"In the end, it's the surprise of Eastern and Western cultures." Lin Jiaxiang pondered.
Fang Menan then smiled and said, "If I invite you to eat African dried fish, 500,000 US dollars a catty, you will have to pay 250,000 US dollars yourself......." ”
"Poof...... This is hospitality. It's clearly a pit man. Lin Jiajia sneered. Yes! This is the best way to trick people. Her eyes were wide and bright.
Since it is a scallion oil mixed noodles. Then kneading the dough is the key, the dough must be kneaded and pressed repeatedly, watching Fang Monan knead the dough with a big opening and closing, it is really like fighting on the battlefield. Murderous. The dough clattered.
The crowd was dumbfounded. "Tsk...... With such great strength, I can't do it with my thin arms and thin legs. Lin Jiajia shook her head. A look of gratitude and insensitivity.
Knead the dough and set it aside to let the dough rise.
"I'll roll the noodles." Grandma almost woke up when she saw it.
"Then I'll make scallion oil." Fang Monan said, by the way, boil the cold water, and make noodles for a while.
In addition to noodles, scallion oil is the most elaborate link. Ordinary mixed noodles are boiled with dried shallots and lard, and several kinds of green onions are used in the refined scallion oil: shallots, onions, Beijing shallots, chives, plus small shallots, boiled with sauce and brown sugar, and then boiled together with cloves and chicken fat.
Of course, some lazy restaurants pour the sauce of braised pork ribs on the noodles and sprinkle some fried green onions to make "scallion oil noodles", which is far from the authentic one in terms of aroma and taste.
"It smells so good!" Lin Jiajia sniffed and said.
"It's so fragrant! I smell it from afar. Tang Bonian walked in with his hands behind his back.
"Just as the water is boiling! Immediately below, you can eat. Grandma continued to cut noodles without raising her head.
"This knife work is really superb." Tang Bonian looked at the noodles with almost the same thickness and length, and praised.
"Practice makes perfect, and when I was not yet on a cutting board, I started standing on a small stool and rolling noodles, and I have been doing this for more than 50 years. Now with my eyes closed, I can cut it! Grandma said with a smile. As he spoke, he lifted the cut noodles and the roots were smooth.
Pour the boiled scallion oil into a bowl, cook the noodles and drain the water, put them in the soup and mix well, sprinkle with minced green onions.
"It's really a handful of noodles, a pinch of chopped green onions, and the boiled scallion oil is poured on it, and it is fragrant." Tang Bonian said with emotion.
"Huh! One thing missing. Tang Bonian raised his eyes and said.
"It's ready, open the ocean!" Fang Monan took out a plate of things. "The scallion oil noodles will be put at the end to add some open foreign flavor, which can also make the whole bowl of noodles look richer, so the full name of the scallion oil noodles is 'scallion oil open foreign noodles'."
"Oh! It turned out to be Haimi! Lin Jiajia smiled, "Why are you called Kaiyang!" ”
"Kaiyang is pickled and dried shrimp, golden in color, fresh and salty, also known as 'golden hook', 'sea rice', is a good product for seasoning and adding freshness. As for the origin of the name 'Kaiyang', it is difficult to find, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and southern Fujian called going to sea 'Kaiyang' in ancient times, which may be related. It is also said that after the end of the fishing moratorium in ancient times, fishermen had the custom of eating this thing before going out to sea. ”
"Doctor Fang knows a lot!" Tang Bonian raised his eyes and asked with a smile.
"Donald can't taste enough." Fang Monan smiled and made a gesture of please.
Tang Bonian mixed the noodles with chopsticks, picked them up and sucked them into his mouth, chewed them slowly, he raised his eyes and gave a thumbs up, "Doctor Fang, it's very authentic." I haven't eaten such authentic scallion oil noodles in years. ”
Tang Bonian sniffed, "The noodles are smooth and chewy, and they are most suitable for hot mixing." In the past, the cut noodles were made by hand, and the strength of kneading was not large, and the cut noodles were relatively wide, although now they are made by machine. The taste of the cut noodles has been improved a lot, and the noodles can be made thinner. But the most original taste is missing. ”
"How do you know that my ancestral home is in Jiangsu and Zhejiang." Tang Bonian asked curiously.
"The country accent has not changed, and the sideburns have declined." Fang Monan used the famous sentence of He Zhizhang in the Tang Dynasty.
"When I left home and went back, my hometown voice has not changed, and my sideburns have declined. When the children don't know each other, they smile and ask where the guests are from. Tang Bonian chattered, life is easy to get old, the vicissitudes of the world, and his heart is full of infinite emotion.
For a while, the room was quiet only the sound of grandma cutting faces, one knife after another, cutting into the heart, and mourning. And for a long time.
"Grandpa. I am hungry. Tang Yuning ran in, his face turned red from exercise.
"Is there anything to eat?" Niu Niu ran in with her hairy head.
"Alright, alright." Grandma brought up the noodles.
"Come on, Niu Niu, Mao Tou is salty. Yu Ning Di is sweet. Grandma put three bowls of noodles in front of the three little ones.
"Mine. And me! Not to be outdone, Xiao Dudu said.
"Yours are indispensable." Grandma pinched his little nose and said.
"Thank you!" The four little ones shouted in unison.
"Good. Hurry up and eat it! Grandma said with a smile, looking at the innocent smiling faces of the children, she was in a super good mood.
"Toot toot. Don't you need to feed it! Autumn Momiji asked.
"No, you don't! No! Little Dudu shook his head and said, "Eat it yourself!" "Eat with chopsticks.
"That's it! Our scallion oil noodles are also good. Fang Menan smiled.
As a result, the sound of sucking and sucking noodles in the restaurant came and went.
"When you are hungry, you can have a bowl of fragrant shredded meat and scallion oil noodles to satisfy your stomach, even if there are more side dishes, you won't take a second look! It tastes good. Tang Bonian said with a smile.
"Secretary Xu, it's just in time, this scallion oil noodles are very authentic, it's really delicious!" Tang Bonian saw Xu Chengdao standing at the door.
Xu Chengcheng walked in in with trepidation, he was very afraid that he would not greet the guests well and neglect the guests, but he didn't expect people to eat very happily, and this heart finally let go.
"Doctor Fang, another bowl." Tang Bonian said.
"Okay!" Fang Monan looked at Xu Cheng and asked with a smile, "Secretary Xu, do you want to have a bowl too!" ”
"No, I've eaten it." Xu Cheng declined.
"What's polite to us?" Grandma laughed.
"Then Aunt Mo, I'm welcome." Xu Cheng sat down with a smile and said.
"You're very familiar." Tang Bonian asked curiously, he was very familiar with the mainland system, and it was difficult for ordinary families to have a relationship with the local parents and officials.
Grandma briefly introduced the origin of Xu Cheng.
"I see!" Tang Bonian nodded.
Grandma took Fang Menan's hand and patted it movingly, although the noodles made with scallion oil were much more expensive, they were also much more delicious. This heart made grandma moved.
Fang Monan looked at his grandmother and smiled, and shook her hand back, "Be moved!" She winked playfully and smiled. In the future, when we have the opportunity, we will make soba noodles, udon noodles, dandan noodles, ramen noodles, tsunashi noodles, beef noodles, and so on. After the Chinese noodles are done, let's make Malay fried noodles, Southeast Asian home-style flavors, and Singapore laksa, rich Peranakan dishes. Pasta, the legend of the East, the transformation of angels. ”
"Sister Doctor, stop talking, you want to kill us!" Tang Yuning snorted. "I want another bowl of noodles."
"Hehe......"
"Little gluttonous cat, you love to eat, go back and let Sister Xiao make it for you." Tang Bonian said with a smile, how happy he was in his heart, and being able to eat it meant that it was good.
"So there are so many types of noodles!" Liang Zi said.
"Noodles are the oldest food, in ancient times, food hygiene conditions were poor, compared to other foods, boiled noodles are the cleanest, which can greatly reduce the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases, so noodles have become one of our most common foods. Due to the difference in strip making and seasoning, thousands of varieties of noodles have appeared in various places, all over the place. Old Man Lin smiled, "I really want to make a complete collection of noodles, oh!" That's going to have to be done! ”
"You've really studied what you eat." Tang Bonian put down the dishes and chopsticks and said.
"We! When I have nothing to do, I study how to eat. Old Man Lin said with a smile. (To be continued......)
