Volume 1 What about me crossing you? Chapter 11: Who Can Withstand This?

"Dragon Whisker Noodles" is a traditional flavor noodle dish in northern China, which originates from Shandong Rolled Noodles and is a kind of thin and long noodles that resemble dragon whiskers. Of course, in the original world, generally speaking, as long as the noodles meet the standard of dragon whisker noodles - 14 buckles, that is, 16,384 sticks! It can be called a dragon's beard noodles. Gu Bai had already tried 14 buckles before, but unfortunately the edge part of the face was broken, and this time, Gu Bai also held his breath and was ready to try 15 buckles.

In the original world, although Gu Bai had completed 19 buckles, it was not only because Gu Bai was at the peak of his strength at that time, but also because the requirements on the other side were also very high.

Noodles are also called rising noodles in the process of making noodles (but rising noodles generally only refer to the noodles in the noodles). It refers to the process of mixing noodles and letting them rest for a period of time before further processing or cooking. The process of resting makes the noodles easier to process, and the noodles are more chewy (chewy, with better shear resistance), soft, and the taste is more delicate and smooth.

Whether it is making bread, pastries or noodles, the process of resting is one of the important steps, and the degree of resting determines the basic quality of the noodles. The time to wake up is to be controlled according to the humidity and temperature of the air, 30 degrees Celsius is a better temperature, in this temperature is generally required to wake up for 1 hour, and the strength of the dragon whiskers face to face is higher, and the time to wake up needs to be shorter, more than 40 minutes is more appropriate. Gu Bai kneaded the dough with his hands, and the hardness of the noodles told Gu Bai that it took a little longer to wake up today, after all, most of the customers came to eat noodles of normal thickness, so the noodles were slightly softer for dragon beard noodles.

So, Gu Bai added another pinch of flour, added a little water, and kneaded the dough vigorously repeatedly, and after a few minutes, Gu Bai felt that the dough in his hand had come to life, and the elasticity had reached the requirements. Then Gu Bai repeatedly pounded, stretched, fell, and kneaded the dough. Immediately after that, Gu Bai grabbed both ends of the noodles with both hands, used force evenly, and shook up and down. With the crossover transposition of the opposite two ends, and repeatedly crossed, the face is "cooked" and smooth.

After this step was completed, Gu Bai put the long strip in his hand on the desk, moved his wrist slightly, and began to move on to the next step-ramen. Sprinkle with enough clear oil, press the strip with both hands, the left hand inward, the right hand outward, rub the strip on the strength, lift the two ends, shake and stretch, and then put on the board, fold the two in half, sprinkle the noodles, the strip is not sticky, and the fold is folded and buckled into silk.

Gu Bai repeated this step repeatedly, while ensuring that the movements of both hands were standardized and not out of shape, carefully according to the feedback of the noodles, the strength on the hand was appropriately reduced, and the strength required for each fold of noodles would be smaller. Especially now, the noodles have been 13 buckles, the grasp of strength must be more subtle, the noodles at this time are pleasing to the eye, neat and tidy, Gu Bai is more concentrated, hold the two sections in his hand, and then slowly stretch outward, at this time what is needed is skill, sometimes the left hand pulls some, sometimes the right hand pulls some, and the force is even, 14 buckles!

Folded and buckled, and the last button, Gu Bai gritted his teeth. Dip some flour, shake it gently, both hands are very stable, Gu Bai is not happy or sad at this time, as his hands are stretched outward again, the surface that is already as thin as a hair seems to break if it is stretched for another 1 mm, but in Gu Bai's hands, the face is like a hair, with amazing elasticity, to ensure that every trace of the surface can not be adhered to, otherwise it is easy to be unevenly stressed. Very good, 15 buckles, 32768 noodles!

Gu Bai gently put the face in his hand on his arm, and the white curtain slowly fluttered with the faint wind in the room, with an indescribable beauty...

The old chef on the side was already stunned, but he didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that a louder voice would interrupt this wonderful scene.

Gu Bai gently propped up the noodles with chopsticks, boiled the noodles, took them out, poured in the warm beef broth, picked up a few slices of beef and chopped them into small minced beef with a kitchen knife, and added them to the noodles. Gu Bai thought about it, took out 2 shiitake mushrooms, cut them into cubes and cooked them in boiling water, picked up a few slices of green vegetables and chopped them, heated them together with the shiitake mushrooms in the beef broth to taste them, and finally placed them around the bowl, placed them in a round bowl for a week, surrounded the beef crumbs in the middle, and it was done.

The old master came back to his senses, walked over, looked directly at the noodles in the bowl, and his saliva was about to flow down, "Xiaobai, this bowl of noodles is simply cheaper than that person, damn it, I think he is too shrewd now, come and say a few words, and the result is that he can exchange for this bowl of noodles, it doesn't make sense!" ”

The master is unhappy in his heart, he has never eaten this level of noodles, and this is handmade, especially after watching the whole ramen process on the side, the master can't believe his eyes, the noodles in the store are not top quality flour, if the quality of the noodles is better, I'm afraid you can still come? The old master actually felt that it was so unreal, but the answer in his heart told him that it was true.

"That, hehe, Xiaobai, I didn't expect you to have this hand, much better than me, you see... That outsider has eaten it, the chef of our restaurant, isn't it? Ahem, when will you get a hand? The master swallowed his saliva, as a master in the industry, of course he knows the value of this bowl of noodles, which is what this kind of small restaurant can eat, a little processing, if this bowl of noodles is placed in a high-end restaurant, a bowl of noodles will cost about 2,000 yen, if it is a show to see the chef's cooking performance ramen, that bowl of noodles starting at 5,000 yen is probably definitely a must for customers to order. You must know that 12 buckles of ramen is normal, if you can make more than 13 buckles, you have to cut off more than half, to 14 buckles is already a medium-grade restaurant, more than 14 buckles, for example, this bowl of noodles can only be eaten in some well-known restaurants, the master has worked for so many years, and he can also do 13 buckles, so the degree of desire for this bowl of noodles can be imagined.

Gu Bai wiped his sweat and smiled slightly, "Of course it's no problem, don't say 15 buckles, 16 buckles are fine"

"What! Really, I'll buy some good flour when there is no one, and I can eat 16 buckles of noodles, and I've blown it when I go out all my life! The old master almost called out, and then looked at the young man carefully, who is this? What's the origin, if you have this ability at this age, you have to rush to any big restaurant.

For the first time, the master felt that Sister Li could recruit this young man, it was really not a young man looking for an opportunity to work here, it was Sister Li who had to win over others... This little brother, I have to persuade Sister Li to find a way to keep it, although this craft is definitely impossible to stay in the Mingren Noodle Restaurant, hey, thinking about the master, sighed, then I have to find a way to rub it a few more times before I leave, and now in the eyes of the master, this young man is Tang monk meat, where did the demon come from! The old master couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Sister Li, the face is ready," Gu Bai called.

"Coming" Tang Xiaoli heard the voice, hurriedly walked over, saw the bowl of noodles on the table, and covered her mouth in surprise, "This is?" ”

"Huaxia Dragon Whisker Noodles! Poor hospitality! Gu Bai raised his head and learned the tone of Xingping Chuangzhen, don't say it, it feels really different, and the pride arises spontaneously, looking at Sister Li's daze, Gu Bai was a little proud, just a normal level, and then quickly reminded "It's not good to put the dragon beard noodles for a long time, Sister Li, hurry up!" ”

"Oh, good" Tang Xiaoli put away her surprised expression, and hurriedly walked out with her hands up.

"The noodles are ready," Tang Xiaoli put the noodles on the table.

In front of the table is a middle-aged uncle, with a beard on his cheeks, wearing an autumn brown coat, "Yes, it's a little slow", the uncle put away his mobile phone, looked up, picked up chopsticks and prepared to eat noodles, looking at the minced beef and shiitake mushrooms in the bowl "It looks okay, I don't know how it tastes"

As he spoke, he picked up chopsticks, stirred the noodles, and so on! This noodle! The uncle rubbed his eyes, stirred again, and picked up a mouthful of noodles with chopsticks, "This... This! ”

"The fine noodles you want" Tang Xiaoli said disdainfully, holding back her temper.

"This is the boy's noodles?" The uncle asked, "You won't let the old chef in the restaurant do it, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the uncle realized that it was impossible, the master has been in the past few years, and he has not eaten his noodles, and the fineness of this noodles is too much....which is what he can make, it is the first time he has seen such thin noodles, thinner than hair, so won't it melt in the mouth, whatever, hurry up and eat it.

The uncle didn't wait for Tang Xiaoli to answer, and stuffed the noodles into his mouth, "Ah! The thin silk noodles mixed with the beef minced in the mouth, have not been chewed, as if turned into elixir jade dew, warm taste, beef soup in such thin noodles, perfect flavor, so delicious, what kind of restaurant do you open, if you can eat such noodles in the future, how can you eat other noodles, who can withstand this!

The uncle didn't have the heart to think about anything else, so he quickly ate two more bites, and gasped with satisfaction, "It's so delicious, you don't need to say it, I want to meet that young man."

Tang Xiaoli frowned, "It's still meal time, and the chef is working."

"Today's guests, there should be 7 or 8 tables," the uncle looked at the guests around him, and said loudly, "Now the guests who eat noodles, I will treat you to the cost of noodles!" It may take a little while, the chef has some things to do, and it won't be too long! ”

When the guests in the restaurant heard this, some nodded, some were happy, and some responded, "One more bowl!" ”

Tang Xiaoli was a little helpless, "You wait, I'll call him", turned around and walked to the kitchen.

"Gu Bai, the guest wants to see you," Tang Xiaoli patted her head and said.

"Oh good, then master, the kitchen will trouble you first," Gu Bai said.

"No problem, go ahead!" The master responded.

Gu Bai washed his hands, wiped them on the chef's clothes, and walked out with Sister Li.

"You're looking for me?" Gu Bai glanced at the middle-aged uncle and said.

As soon as he came out of the kitchen, some guests, including the middle-aged uncle, looked at the young man. Many guests have long heard that there is a young chef in this restaurant, not only the taste has not deteriorated, but the noodles made by the little chef are much more delicious, today is also the first time to see this little chef, many guests can't help but light up, so young!

"Hello, you are Gu Bai, you are really young and promising!" The middle-aged uncle got up and happily stretched out his hand, "Hello, I'm Tohi Motosakikawa." ”
