Chapter 112: Delicious Soup Cakes

Fan Yu ignored Zhanzhao's doubts, and asked Wang Xiaoding, who had already called, to raise the fires on the two stoves.

Water was boiled in a pot on one side, and a wok was placed on the stove on the other.

Put the salted meat directly into the wok that is not yet hot, Fan Yu stir-fried the bowl of salted meat foam and stir-fried the oil, and the aroma of the meat also wafted up. It is not until the water in the salted meat has been dried thoroughly and the meat foam has emitted a slight dry aroma that it is put back in the bowl for preparation.

At this time, pearl-sized blisters have also begun to emerge in the water pot on the other side, indicating that the pot has been boiled.

Fan Yu turned around and took off the wet cloth on the rolled bread, and used a knife to cut the bread into strips two fingers wide.

When Zhan Zhao saw this, he clapped his hands violently and said suddenly: "It turns out that you want to make soup cakes, but only put this little bit of salted meat, isn't it a little less?" ”

Noodles in the Song Dynasty were called soup cakes, but they were not a rare food, and Zhanzhao had naturally seen them.

"Meat is just for umami, and you can't understand the beauty until Brother Zhan tries it." Fan Yu was seen through by Zhanzhao, but it didn't hurt.

Fan Yu was a little busy at this time, and he used a rolling pin to press out a shallow trench in the middle of this long strip of dough sheet.

"What is this doing?" Zhan Zhao watched Fan Yu make this soup cake today, it seems that it is not an ordinary soup cake.

"Brother Zhan is eye-catching, and he is optimistic." Fan Yu picked up a long piece of noodles with both hands, pulled it aside with one hand, and shook it up and down, nearly doubling the length of the sheet.

Zhan Zhao just wanted to say something more, but saw Fan Yu's hands tear in the middle of the long dough sheet, and tore it into two wide noodles.

It's just that this is not over, Fan Yu folded his hands and folded the two noodles in half. Then he tossed his hands up slightly, but pulled down hard, causing the noodles to make a loud noise on the board.

The noodles became wide and long in Fan Yu's hands, and then he threw them into the pot.

The rest of the long sheets of noodles did the same, and soon a large pot was boiled.

"This soup cake is a little unusual, but does it have a name?" Zhan Zhao was startled by the sound, and only then did he ask.

"Brother Zhan, don't worry, it'll be fine soon. After tasting it, I will tell Brother Zhan the name of the food. Fan Yu didn't care about him, and put the wok on another stove.

A bowl of vegetable oil was poured into the original lard of the wok, and Fan Yu cut the knotweed into small pieces and threw it into the wok.

In the swishing sound, a spicy and fragrant smell rises. In Fan Yu's smell, there is no chili pepper fragrance in later generations, but there is more grassy smell, which has a unique flavor.

After the water knotweed in the oil pot was fried and slightly dry, Fan Yu took out the water knotweed and discarded it, leaving only the oil in the pot.

At this time, the noodles had also been filled with spinach and cooked, and Fan Yu took out the noodles in a large bowl and sprinkled them with salt, sugar, soy sauce and vinegar. Then sprinkle the fried minced bacon on the side of the bowl and place the garlic on top.

Zhan Zhao only stared at the oil pot at this time, and couldn't help shouting: "Look here, the oil is already smoking, if you don't take it off, it will catch fire if you burn it again!" ”

Fan Yu smiled, then took off the wok, scooped a spoonful of hot oil with a spoon and poured it on a bowl of noodles!

As Fan Yu's spoonful of hot oil was splashed, with a snort, Fan Yu, Zhan Zhao and Wang Xiaoding, who was burning the fire, immediately smelled a burst of sour fragrance. This fragrance makes people smell it, and the mouth naturally secretes saliva, which is similar to Wangmei to quench thirst, but it makes people smell the fragrance and relish.

Fan Yu poured hot oil on each bowl of noodles, then put down the wok in his hand and said, "Okay, Brother Zhan, you have to eat it while it's hot, so it's delicious." ”

Although Zhanzhao had also eaten soup cakes, he had never eaten such hot oil. He took a bowl of noodles, mixed them with chopsticks, and tasted them first.

It's hard to go down this way. Zhanzhao's eyes widened, and he was extremely surprised. God, how can there be such delicious soup cakes in this world?

The fresh and sour flavor is mixed with the garlic sauce, and then the spicy flavor of the water knotweed is even more refreshing, and various flavors bloom in the mouth, making the mouth and tongue a little overwhelmed. After a little chewing, there is a hint of sweetness. If you bite into the salted meat, the meat foam will be crispy. When he made a slight click on his teeth that only he could hear, he burst out with the flavor of salted meat, which spread in his mouth.

Originally, the salted meat was very salty, but at this time, neutralizing it with the soup cake was the finishing touch, and people couldn't help but be happy!

It is the oil that is poured into the bowl, and because of the vinegar and spinach, it is not greasy.

Zhanzhao ate this bite of noodles, and he couldn't hold his chopsticks anymore. is as straight as the wind and clouds, and a bowl of noodles is pulled into the stomach in three or two bites. In the end, not even a drop of the oil soup in the bowl was spared.

When Wang Xiaoding saw Zhanzhao eating like this, he knew that Hou Ye's noodles were powerful, and immediately took a bowl of noodles and tasted it. His expression was as good as Zhanzhao, and it was very exciting.

"To eat noodles, you have to eat garlic cloves, a mouthful of garlic and a mouthful of noodles, which is comfortable." Fan Yu took half a head of garlic and handed it over.

"Whew...... That's amazing! After Zhan Zhao ate three bowls in a row, he sighed and touched his stomach, and praised it in a Bianliang official sentence.

Fan Yu had just eaten a bowl, but he couldn't eat anymore. The bowl he used was not small, and there was still a bowl of noodles left at the end.

He didn't keep it either, and asked Wang Xiaoding to send it to the back for Chen Fang and Chen Yuan's two sisters.

The two of them didn't have any image when they were eating, they all squatted at the kitchen door to eat.

In Fan Yu's words, this is called Weizheng, and when the noodles are finished, the two of them return to the main room for tea.

Zhan Zhao touched his stomach and snorted, obviously holding it up, "Little Brother Fan, your way of cooking is simply extraordinary. Such a simple ingredient is also made by you with a wonderful taste. By the way, what is your soup cake called? ”

"Brother Zhan will drink food first to eliminate food." Fan Yu took a sip of the teacup before continuing: "Before I put this side into the pot, I have to slam it on the board and make a loud noise, so, as the name suggests, this side is called Qiang Ang Noodles." ”

Zhanzhao was drinking tea, and after listening to Fan Yu's statement of forcing Ang to be angry, he couldn't hold back, so he sprayed the tea in his mouth.

"If I use a sword and flick it with my fingers, can I call it a ding-ding sword?" Zhan Zhao couldn't help but laugh.

"Not impossible." Fan Yu Zhengse nodded.

The two suddenly laughed in unison, and they got along very well.

After receiving the laughter, Zhan Zhao remembered something and said to Fan Yu: "A few days ago, you looked for that imperial doctor, and I don't know what happened. If you treat Empress Dowager Li's eye disease, you still have to tell the official family. Empress Dowager Li is the biological mother of the official family, don't treat your eye disease to let the official family know, if you are punished for the crime of bullying the king, it is not too much. Junior Brother Fan, now you are a royal prince and an official, which is different from the past. And Empress Dowager Li is not what she used to be, so she still has to be cautious. ”

Hearing Zhan Zhao remind himself, Fan Yu counted the days, and the time agreed with the imperial physician was only four days away. Moreover, to treat the eyes of the stepmother, this kind of thing must be said to the official, and he almost forgot it.

It was also in the past few days that I was inspecting the various workshops of the Ordnance Factory, and I didn't have time to enter the palace to see the officials. If you don't go to see the official family again, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain it.

Fan Yu nodded and said to Zhan Zhao: "Tomorrow, I will go to the Imperial Medical Bureau first to see what the Imperial Doctor Wang says, and then I will enter the palace to ask to see the official." There should be no problem with the benevolence, filial piety and forgiveness of the official family. ”
