Niu Erniang smiled shyly and looked at Yang Huairen with a mischievous look, "Master can't blame me." ”

Yang Huairen said that you have to be as capable as I thought, and it's too late for me to be happy as a master, so why do I blame you?

So he smiled faintly, "Say, I don't blame you." ”

Niu Erniang said with confidence, "I learned it secretly." ”

She paused for a moment, then said, "Actually, it can't be regarded as stealing, because to this day, I haven't figured out the specific recipe for beef noodle soup." ”

Yang Huairen guessed this, after tasting the beef noodles she made, he already had such a judgment, he remembered that there were several branches of restaurants in Xijing City that cooperated with Suiyuan, so he asked directly, "The restaurant you said you and your brother were doing chores, is it Baxian Building, Guiyan Building or Taibai Building?" ”

Niu Erniang was surprised, "It's Taibai Building, how did Master know?" ”

Yang Huairen joked, "Your master and I have great powers, unpredictable prophets, hehe...... You continue. ”

"Oh," Niu Erniang calmed down, "The shopkeeper Li of Taibai Building is a benevolent and righteous person, when he saw our two brothers and sisters pitiful, he let us enter Taibai Mansion and do some work within our ability in the back kitchen.

The elder brother did the hard work of sifting charcoal and picking the ashes of the stove, and the shopkeeper Li saw that the apprentice was a girl, so he asked the apprentice to stay in the back kitchen to help wash and choose vegetables, as well as clean up.

It was because he stayed in the kitchen that he washed and chose vegetables, so when he washed and chose vegetables, he secretly went to watch the chefs do their work, and over time, he remembered the cooking skills of those cooks.

Until last year, almost this season, a chef from the city of Tokyo came to Taibai Lou to teach the chefs in the back kitchen how to learn ramen and make beef soup. ”

Yang Huairen thought about it for a while, the time was about the same, last year and the thirteen restaurants were chained in the autumn, Taibai Lou, like other franchised restaurants, sent people to learn the production method of beef noodles from Suiyuan, and then returned to their own store to start trying to make it.

Later, Taibailou in Beijing also began to provide Suiyuan beef noodles to diners, and when Taibailou's beef noodle business was booming, Li asked the chefs in the head office who were already proficient in boiling beef soup and ramen noodles to go to Taibailou's branches in various places to teach.

In the winter, he sent someone to the Taibailou branch in Xijing, and the time was right, he asked, "That's when you learned how to make secret beef soup?" ”

Niu Erniang smiled and said, "So to speak." At that time, the shopkeeper Li of Taibai Building in Xijing was also very careful, and the chef from the capital was even more cautious.

But as it happened, they were all chefs, and they always needed a few apprentices to stay and help with the rough work, and they didn't pay much attention to me when they saw that I was just a little girl, and left me to help clean some of the materials used. ”

Yang Huairen answered, "The ingredients used in my beef noodles are actually common ingredients in the kitchens of ordinary restaurants, which is not a secret.

The two most critical points are the details of the process of boiling beef broth, and the ratio of the secret seasoning packet.

If you watch it on the spot, you can indeed learn the details of boiling beef soup, you are a careful girl, I believe you will be very concerned about every step of their operation, and then you will think about why you do it.

But the ingredients and proportions of the secret seasoning packet, I'm afraid you shouldn't have a chance to get it, but the soup of the beef noodles you are boiling now is actually very close to the taste of the soup of authentic Suiyuan beef noodles, how do you do it? ”

Niu Erniang was flattered and hurriedly blessed first, "Thank you for Master's compliment." There used to be soup cakes in Taibai Building, so there was also boiled braised soup for later use.

In the eyes of the apprentices, there is no secret to the ordinary braised soup, although the braised soup they boil can enhance the taste of the soup cake, but the boiling method is too simple, and there is no skill to speak of.

When the apprentices saw for the first time that boiling a pot of beef soup was so tedious and complicated, they realized that this bowl of beef noodles must be very delicious, so they secretly observed the process of boiling and remembered every detail.

At first, I didn't understand it very well, because the apprenticeship foundation was very poor, and I didn't have hands-on experience, so I could only force myself to remember it first, and then look back and slowly think about why this step was done in the whole process of boiling beef soup, and why I did it, what is the difference between doing this and not doing it, and what is the impact on the taste of beef noodles.

And what exactly the ingredients are put in the secret seasoning package, there is really no way to know. However, there are some seasoning materials that the disciples recognize, and those who don't recognize the materials, the disciples will remember what they look like.

Later, the beef noodles sold very well in the Taibai Building, and almost every day there were many guests, all of whom came to order this bowl of beef noodles, and the kitchen was therefore busier than before, and every cook, cook, little er and miscellaneous were also busy.

It was precisely because everyone was busy that no one paid attention to me, an inconspicuous little girl who washed vegetables, and gave me the opportunity to taste the taste of that pot of beef soup. ”

Yang Huairen smiled when he heard this, he had to admire Niu Erniang in front of him, what does it mean that there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with hearts? Although Niu Erniang was not a cook at that time, she had a strong self-motivation and an innate interest and attainment in cooking.

She said that when she secretly tasted the old beef soup of Taibailou while others were not paying attention, Yang Huairen knew that Niu Erniang's sense of taste was the same as his, and he had a kind of sensitivity beyond ordinary people.

"You just keep secretly tasting that pot of soup, then comparing the ingredients in the back kitchen, and then slowly putting them together, and finally you come up with a ratio that you think is closest to the secret recipe, right?"

"Well," Niu Erniang nodded embarrassedly, "It's this stupid way to taste it slowly little by little, and then match it, and then gradually find a recipe that is closer to Master's secret recipe for beef noodles."

Master, you won't blame me for stealing your beef noodle recipe, will you? ”

Yang Huairen shook his head calmly, "No, and I still appreciate your enthusiasm for learning and your good habit of using your brain to think." ”
