Chapter 186: Preparations
There was still some time before the opening of the noodle restaurant, and Luo Dahai and Fang Ruzhen discussed studying the noodle restaurant's signboard first, and if they wanted to occupy a seat in the many restaurants in Shenmu Town, they had to taste good.
At this time, business people still don't know so many marketing methods, and they really want to attract customers by taste.
Fang Ruzhen is an expert in making noodles, she took over the production of noodles, and Luo Dahai concentrated on studying the soup base and toppings.
With the previous experience of helping the master make the soup base, Luo Dahai also specially asked his daughter to help him taste it.
For this, Luo Yanyan is particularly confident, her taste has improved by leaps and bounds now compared to when she first got the golden finger.
The subtle proportions are more accurate, and she doesn't hide them, telling her father all her thoughts.
With the help of his daughter, Lao Luo made a soup base exclusive to Luo Ji Noodle Restaurant.
Instead of giving up a single type of bone, two large bones of pork stick bone and beef leg bone are used to make soup, which has a richer flavor and richer taste.
As for the toppings, it's even more refined. At first, Luo Dahai made more than a dozen kinds of them, and Luo stubbornly tried them one by one, and finally selected five of the most delicious.
They are large meat, kidney flower, beef brisket, fat sausage, and fried sauce with diced potatoes.
The big meat is the best pork belly, with the production method of fairy meat, simplified, cut into a large and fat piece, clearly placed on the surface, at a glance it is very real.
The waist flower tests the knife work, and after cutting, it is marinated and then fried, and the taste is crisp and tender and chewy, especially suitable for diners who like this taste.
The beef brisket needs to be simmered slowly over low heat, stewed until soft but not scattered, the soup is rich, and tomatoes are specially added to reduce the greasy feeling, and the slightly sour taste is very appetizing.
Fat sausage is more troublesome to handle, but it tastes great when done. Fresh pork intestines are rinsed with water first, then cleaned after boiling water, scraped off the excess grease inside, and then boiled. The fat sausage made in this way has no peculiar smell and the fragrance is catchy. In the end, I only got three taels for a pound.
The sauce is very simple, potatoes and pork forelegs, plus a little lard residue. Locally produced potatoes have a high starch content and a soft and glutinous taste, so they are diced and soaked in water before being put into the pot. Pork foreleg meat is often active, so it has a tender taste, so it is the most suitable for making noodles. The lard residue is the finishing touch, and no one can resist the fragrance of lard.
After the five toppings were determined, Song Chengxiao also volunteered to help write the menu.
Luo stubbornly watched Song Chengxiao write, and found that he was really good at writing, although she didn't understand it, but she could also see that this was not a day's work, it must have been practiced since childhood.
The written menu also needs to be sent to the carpenter's shop to be customized into wooden cards, and this job Luo and Song Chengxiao volunteered.
The two of them left the Luo Kee noodle shop, chatted, and walked to the carpenter's shop.
"Brother Chengxiao, you have to go back before fifteen, right?"
During this time, Song Chengxiao was like growing up in Luo's house, and Luo stubbornly knew that he was seizing all the time to accompany her more.
The more this happened, the more she understood that the day of his return was getting closer.
Hearing Luo stubbornly ask, Song Chengxiao didn't expect to say anything for a while. The last time I separated, I was very sad, but I didn't expect to have to come back again so soon.
"Once raw and twice ripe, this time I must have more experience than last time."
Luo said stubbornly, and he didn't know whether he was appeasing Song Chengxiao or appeasing himself.
"Speaking of which, I heard Aunt Shang say that you went to look for me the morning I left?"
Song Chengxiao learned from Aunt Shang that on the day he left Shenmu Town early in the morning, Luo stubbornly went to the martial arts family to look for him, but he was in vain.
"Ah, yes. Originally, you didn't want me to send you, but after thinking about it, I still think it's better to give it away. I didn't expect you to leave so early, I went late. ”
Luo stubbornly pretended to talk about that time, she didn't want to tell Song Chengxiao how she felt at that time.
"Then let you send it this time, okay?"
How could Song Chengxiao not notice the faint loneliness under Luo's stubborn and relaxed tone?
Originally, he was still drooping his head, but when Luo stubbornly heard Song Chengxiao's words, his face immediately raised and looked at him.
"Huh? When are you leaving? ”
Luo's stubborn point is not at all whether to send it or not, but when he will leave!
It's really her reaction that is too real, obviously reluctant. Seeing this in Song Chengxiao's eyes, it warmed his heart.
It seems that he really didn't hurt his sister in vain, and this reluctance is the best compliment.
The rare blazing eyes on the fat man's face were full of tenderness at the moment, and he stopped to face Luo stubbornly.
"Twelve goes, and there are two days left. If I hadn't gone back to the fifteenth, I might have been kicked out of the house by my dad. ”
Song Chengxiao was very helpless, after all, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds in the world. He doesn't worry about his sister, but his family also needs him.
Luo stubbornly nodded in understanding, he should be with his family during the festival. Brother Cheng Xiao has done enough for her.
But she didn't know that the expression on her face was completely broken, and she couldn't hide her sadness.
"Hey, you have such an expression, how can I bear to leave?"
Song Chengxiao sighed, his sister's thin eyebrows were about to wrinkle eighteen bends.
With his hands on his knees, Song Chengxiao arched his body to the level of He Luo's stubborn gaze, and looked at her wrinkled little face seriously.
"Always have to go."
Luo stubbornly looked at Song Chengxiao's dark eyes, a little afraid to look directly, and his speech was a little incoherent.
The most terrifying thing is that people like Brother Cheng Xiao, who is obviously a big white fat man and does not have any aggression.
But in the body of such a fat man, there lives a shapely soul.
His words and deeds, every move, are not at all as clumsy as his appearance, but are completely delightful.
This big white fat man is very subversive.
Subverting the stereotype of a fat person, it is not only flexible, but also very attractive.
"Then you promise me to learn kung fu hard and take good care of yourself. How about going to Yancheng's university in the future? ”
Song Chengxiao felt that the most reassuring way for him was to put this little man in front of his eyes and look at it, otherwise he would always feel that he would have to hang a heart.
This worry seems to have started from the first time they met.
"Here you go again. I definitely won't get the grades. ”
Luo stubborn, who was very clear about the nature of his scumbag, resisted stubbornly in the face of Song Chengxiao's proposal to let her be admitted to Yancheng again.
"You haven't even tried it, how do you know you can't pass it? If you work hard from now on, three years in junior high school and three years in high school, you will definitely be able to improve your grades in six years. You are studying in the town now, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask your grandfather or aunt. They can all help you. ”
Song Chengxiao expressed his incomprehension of Luo Stubborn's behavior of saying that he couldn't do it before he tried it.
This is not Luo's stubborn character, how do you feel that she seems to be inexplicably resistant to Yancheng?
