Chapter 17: A bowl of home-cooked noodles

At that time, Xi Jun led everyone to follow Su Peisheng to the dining room.

At this moment, the food from all places has basically been taken away, and a few cooks are eating with the guys in the room.

Seeing that Su Peisheng was coming, Master Niu, the chef in the dining room, hurriedly came out to greet him in person.

"Father-in-law Su, are you here like this? Is it that the master still needs to have a supper? "Master Niu has a big belly, and his bright brain is shining like a light bulb.

"Old bull head, look at this! This is Niu Co Lugege, who has just passed the house today. Now she's going to borrow your guy here for a snack, and make a supper for Lord Belle. Su Peisheng didn't greet him either, and directly explained his intentions.

Master Niu has been a chef in this Sibeile Mansion for seven or eight years, and he has never heard of the master coming to cook!

He hurriedly asked Xi Jun for peace: "The slave asked for peace for Niu Colu Gege, I don't know what Gege wants to make?" ”

"Flour, beef, cabbage, coriander, carrots, dried tofu, chili oil, and green onions, ginger and garlic! There's a farmer. When Xi Jun came all the way, she had already thought about the first meal for the fourth master.

"These are ready-made! I don't know what Gege is going to cook? Master Niu pressed the doubts in his heart and asked.

"Just make a bowl of noodles. Ask Master Niu to prepare all those things for me, and then I don't have to interfere. Xi Jun said politely.

Although the minions of this dining room are all minions, they are in charge of the food of the whole house. If you can't open your own room, there are people who come here to fetch food.

Master Niu didn't dare to say more, and began to follow what Xi Jun wanted.

Xijun and a few maids walked to the dining room, and saw that everything here was very neat, and they were immediately ready to try.

After the flour was delivered, Xijun instructed Qingqi to wash the cabbage and coriander, Pujia to wash the carrots and dried beans, and let Bailu beat the piece of beef with a mallet.

The people in the dining room had no intention of eating at the moment, and they all stood aside to watch the every move of Xijun and a few maids.

They did not dare to surround themselves, but stood at the door, craned their necks, and looked at the scene that had never been seen before.

Xi Jun began to add water and noodles, holding a pair of chopsticks in her hand, and kept stirring the flour and adding a little water.

The old bull looked at her posture, and secretly praised in his heart, judging from this and face posture alone, he was also an expert.

After a while, Xi Jun began to knead dough on the long board.

The old bull looked at Xi Jun's kneading technique and posture, and in addition to being surprised, he was also very puzzled, this kind of posture had never been seen before.

It turned out that Xijun was using the unique kneading method taught to her by her uncle: that is, she kept whipping the dough with a mallet as thick as her little arm, until the color of the dough changed, and then kneaded it with her hands.

Uncle once taught her: Whether the noodles are good or not, it's all in the heat of kneading the noodles!

When the heat arrived, Xi Junbian began to roll the dough. The dough sheet should be rolled out as thin as paper, which is a great test of patience.

Xi Jun carefully followed the appearance of her uncle in her memory, and used the mallet to roll out the dough very thinly little by little.

After the dough was rolled out, she picked up the kitchen knife again and skillfully cut the rolled out dough sheets as thin as cicada wings into thin strips.

The old bull head looked at it and said in his heart: This Niu Co Lu Gege seems to be a person who can eat, and after this meal, his cooking skills have surpassed many people in his dining room.

After the noodles are cut, Xijun dices everything prepared by the maids and other beef and vegetables for later use.

After everything was ready, Xi Jun began to make this home-cooked dish of the Xu family in his memory.

She first burned the oil until it was hot, then sprinkled with green onions, ginger and garlic, stir-fried until fragrant, and then poured the diced beef into it and began to stir-fry, then diced radish and diced tofu, kept stir-frying, and then added water and various ingredients while stir-frying until the ingredients became soft and the fragrance came out, and then added diced coriander, and it was good.

After making the toppings, Xi Jun put it in a porcelain cup and covered it with a lid.

In the other pot where the noodles were boiling, the water was already boiling and was clattering.

Xi Jun first poured the tender cabbage into it, but as soon as it was hot, she took it out, put it in a bowl, and drizzled it with a little sesame oil.

Finally start cooking noodles!

Xi Jun carefully poured the thin noodles into the boiling water, and then began to use the chopsticks to stir the noodles in the water.

After only boiling for half a minute, Xi Jun quickly scooped up all the noodles in the water and put them into a prepared clay urn.

"Qingqi, use that jar to fill a little noodle soup. Fill it with a little more oil and chili peppers to go back! Xi Jun put down the guy in his hand and said.

"Father-in-law Su, hurry up and go back. That noodle can't be in the urn for too long, otherwise it will be mushy and not tasty. Xi Jun said.

She carried the basket herself, and in the basket was the urn noodles.

Su Peisheng didn't dare to delay, the fourth master was still waiting!

Master Niu wanted to plug in and ask Xi Jun a few words, but he didn't have a chance, so everyone walked out of the dining room.

Only then did the old bull head touch his glowing head and said, "Good guy, this Gege is a chef." The kneading posture, and the kneading of the dough. ”

Although the old bull head is also from the imperial kitchen, after following the fourth master out of the palace to build a mansion, he has long been unfamiliar with the craftsmanship in his hands, and he usually does not cook often, but is just busy inquiring about the news of the inner house, so as to curry favor with the favored master.

"Master!" A small eunuch next to him walked up to the old bull head and shouted.

"Huh?" The old bull head hasn't come back to the taste yet.

"This Gege cooking is really good!" The little eunuch said.

"You still need to say this, Lao Tzu's eyes are not blind!" The old bull head glanced at his apprentice and said.

At that time, Xi Jun returned to his room with noodles, and the fourth master had already drunk the second cup of tea.

"I've kept Lord Belle waiting." Xijun was neither humble nor arrogant, and then personally started to make noodles for the fourth master.

The fourth master couldn't help but stand up, and also walked to the table, watching Xi Jun serve noodles for himself.

"Do you eat spicy food?" Xi Jun scooped a spoonful of toppings with a porcelain spoon and asked.

"You can't eat spicy!" The fourth master had already smelled the fragrance, and his stomach immediately felt a twitch, and the hunger was surging.

Xi Jun scooped a little oil chili pepper for the fourth master, ordered it on the toppings, and then went to pour the noodle soup and put the cabbage.

After all this was done, Xi Jun said: "Please try this bowl of home-cooked noodles from the concubine." ”

The fourth master didn't say anything more, and after sitting down, he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat noodles.

The people in the room all stood quietly in their respective positions, not daring to make a little movement, so as to disturb the fourth master's meal.

Xi Jun also sat honestly on the side, and Mama Xu asked Yushu to hand her a stove in her hand.

The fourth master finally put the last noodle into his mouth, and drank a few mouthfuls of noodle soup before he was full of food and drink.
