Chapter 14 Noodle Stalls
When it comes to Gansu, perhaps most people think that they ride camels to school there, and they are very poor there.
Well, that's roughly the impression, who makes Gansu itself not a good land, there are no agricultural products, and because of the contrast of the coastal areas, it seems to be a little behind. But when it comes to Gansu, beef and mutton and ramen are quite good.
Noodles are a very important food in Gansu, but many people here actually have a misunderstanding, that is, beef noodles and ramen noodles are actually two types of noodles.
Ramen noodles use alkaline water to greatly increase the elasticity of noodles, and Liu Angxing once made Guoshi Wushuangdou noodles is just such a reason. In fact, Lanzhou ramen pays attention to one clear, two white, three red, four green, and five yellow, that is, the soup is clear, the radish is white, the spicy is red, the coriander and garlic are green, and the noodles are bright yellow. And not only noodles, Lanzhou ramen is also heavy soup, a good bowl of Lanzhou ramen, good soup is essential. On the one hand, it is the formula, and on the other hand, it is the water quality, which is the so-called one side of the water and one person.
An Yi led the horse to Lanzhou, and everyone in the streets and alleys could smell the fragrance of beef and radish soup.
"Noodles ......"
Actually, Anyi didn't like pasta very much, because I really ate enough when I was in college, but from a chef's point of view, that's a different story.
The stretching of ramen noodles is actually the same as dragon beard noodles, but there is more than this method of ramen. The stuffed and hollow ones are quite delicious, and An Yi came to Lanzhou this time, and the most important thing is to learn the pastry technology here.
And finding good food is a pretty extreme thing. On the one hand, in a big hotel, the chef has a lot of experience and cooks delicious food. On the other hand, in the small alley, there is a century-old brand, and the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and it is delicious, so whether you can find the most delicious and authentic food depends on how you choose.
But now there is no room for An Yi to choose, you must know that An Yi does not have much coils on his body, from Ju downstairs all the way, the coils on his body have been almost spent, and now An Yi must find a place to work for a short time to earn some coils.
But it's also quite troublesome. Generally, coolies are easy to recruit short-term workers, and there are really few short-term workers recruited by hotels, after all, this is different from the future, there are no students working on holidays.
Working in a restaurant, you have a lot of time to get in touch with recipes and chefs, what if you come here to learn the craft? Therefore, most restaurants recruit apprentices, and few recruit short-term workers.
Not to mention, Anyi really fights the idea of stealing school while working, so the idea of the hotel is still crookedly blocking the road to comfort.
"Tsk......"
An Yi touched his pocket, there were a few coppers left, it is estimated that it was a matter of a few bowls of noodles, and now An Yi misses life in the forest, where it was indeed difficult at the beginning, but after that, it was really easy to eat and drink.
Walking aimlessly on the streets of Lanzhou, I am used to living in the wild, and it doesn't matter if I live comfortably on the street, but if my kitchenware is stolen, it will be even more cheating, so I am comfortable and ready to go out and sleep outside the city.
But at least to fill his stomach, comfortably led the horse, and came to a noodle stall.
"Boss, let's have a bowl of noodles!"
The boss is a middle-aged man in his thirties, and there is a girl in the stall besides him, who seems to be the boss's daughter, and her age is estimated to be older than Ah Ling.
"Okay."
The boss's action is quite skilled, take out a dough, three times and two times, a handful of noodles are pulled out by the boss, thrown into the pot casually, the long chopsticks pick in the pot, boil for a few minutes, and then the long chopsticks pick, the noodles are thrown into the bowl, a handful of coriander, a handful of garlic sprouts, a bowl full of soup, and finally pour a spoonful of spicy seeds, a bowl of spicy and fragrant Lanzhou ramen becomes.
An Yi smelled it first, and the smell of chili pepper in his nose made An Yi enjoy it very much, picked up the bowl, took a sip of hot soup, and An Yi let out a long breath.
"Boss, it's delicious!"
"Haha!"
The boss laughed.
"The young man is very knowledgeable, you are not from Gansu Province, right?"
"No, I'm from Sichuan, but I've been in Lanzhou before, and the beef noodles in various places are still the same as those in Lanzhou."
"That's right, it's here to eat beef noodles!"
The boss scooped a spoonful of beef and put it directly into the cosy bowl.
"Come, come, eat!"
"Hey, thank you, boss!"
An Yi sandwiched a piece of beef and ate it deliciously.
"Where are you going, young man?"
The boss came over, sat next to An Yi, and chatted with An Yi.
"I don't know, where to go, the world is so big, I want to walk around."
The boss was blinded by Anyi's words all of a sudden, and he also made himself dusty because of Anyi's long-distance journey, and he couldn't see his age, otherwise he would have been able to whip him because of this sentence.
"Boss, are you short of manpower here?"
An Yi looked at the noodle stall owner, looking at this face, he should be a very good talker.
"What do you want to do?"
The boss glanced at An Yi warily, and then blocked his daughter behind him.
"Dry ......"
An Yi finally swallowed the next few words back, if he said the next words, An Yi felt that the other party would definitely kill him.
"Ann, Ann, I just want to find a place to work, earn some money to buy some dry food, and then I have to continue to travel, so uncle, enjoy the food......"
The boss glanced at An Yi suspiciously, there were cooking utensils such as pots on the back of An Yi's horse, so it could be seen that An Yi seemed to be a chef, but even if it was this kind of small noodle stall, the soup had its own recipe, so the boss was really worried about the leakage of his own recipe.
"Boss."
An Yi looked at the noodle stall owner with hope, but in the end the boss shook his head.
"I'm sorry, boy, but I still can't hire you."
The boss said slightly apologetically.
"You don't want to try anywhere else?"
An Yi sighed helplessly, and now An Yi basically gave up the idea of working in the kitchen, and it seems that he still has to start by moving bricks.
"Daddy, otherwise let this big brother help, if it's not Xi'an to hold a pastry contest recently, just with the help of the big brother, the stall at home doesn't have to be removed......
"Xi'an Pastry Competition?"
An Yi didn't come from Xi'an, so I really haven't heard of this so-called Xi'an pastry competition.
"yes, and Daddy is ......"
"Fluttershy, shut up!"
The boss frowned and drank his daughter, and then he still looked at An Yi with some unease, as if he was in a tangle.
"Boy, can I trust you with the stall?"
"Why don't you take a look at the noodles I pulled, boss?"
An Yi washed his hands and stood in front of the board.
