In order to be able to use simple dishes and be as delicious and nutritious as possible, the boy was careful about every step of cooking, as if the ingredients in his hands were delicacies from the mountains and seas, abalone and bird's fins, for fear of spoiling even a grain of rice, and even the root of cabbage, he made it as delicious as possible, scooping a spoonful of oil with a spoon and often hesitating to leave half a spoonful.

He secretly read books on cooking skills in the library, sneaked into the restaurant to observe how other small restaurant chefs cooked, and secretly had a dream... Dream of being able to take the high school exam of Yuanyue School Park, dream of changing the environment at home through cooking, dream of making the old man's body better, dream of having the opportunity to find his parents... All this when he heard that the salary of the chef of Yuanyue after graduation was at least hundreds of thousands of yen, and he was still being rushed to ask for it, this gorgeous dream began to haunt his heart all the time, and appeared repeatedly in his dreams.

Can... Even this dream, which was so small that it was out of reach, was brutally shattered by reality!

After graduating from junior high school, the old man lay in bed and told him with difficulty that his family had no money to continue his education. His mind was blank at that time, he hadn't bought a good dress, a school uniform was already his best coat, a piece of eraser he had to check every day in case he accidentally dropped it, as for those snack caricatures he might have thought about but never said he wanted, he never dared to linger a little longer on the side street after school, because a little more look at the inferiority complex in his heart would eat at his paleness...

But the old man dragged his old body to bring him up from a young age, looking at the weak old man on the bed, and the voice was even more timid.. He could only pretend that it was nothing, and as for his dreams, he was now afraid that even dreaming would become a nightmare.

And he also tried to do some part-time jobs, but his fragile body, even if he repeatedly begged to try, he could endure hardships, but with such a sick body, which boss was willing to take risks. He endured all the cold eyes and ridicule, and all this injustice made him more and more haggard in his heart, and finally left in a fever and coma...

Hey, it's so pitiful, it's the first time Gu Bai feels that cooking is so sad in addition to happiness.

After packing up his backpack and carefully folding his chef's uniform and putting it in the closet, Gu Bai finished his day's work and slowly walked to the front desk.

Tang Xiaoli, the owner of Mingren Noodle Restaurant, is a shrewd and capable woman, and I really have to thank her for working in this noodle restaurant.

Gu Bai walked past the front desk, "Sister Li, it's not early, don't be too tired." ”

Tang Xiaoli raised her head with a smile when she heard Gu Bai's voice, "Gu Bai, thanks to you, the business in the store has been getting better and better recently, I'll clean up here and prepare to go back." ”

"Don't say that, Sister Li, if you weren't willing to give me a chance to try it that day, I'm afraid no restaurant would want me." Gu Bai shook his head, grateful to Sister Li.

Tang Xiaoli: "Those people are really repentant, I didn't expect your ramen skills to be so good, in the past month, the number of customers in the store has more than doubled than before, and the surrounding restaurant owners are very angry with our family!" Your ramen technique reminds me of noodles from my hometown, and I haven't been back for a long time. Saying that, Sister Li was excited and a little depressed.

A month ago, if Gu Bai hadn't seen this Chinese noodle restaurant, I am afraid that no one would recruit him like the previous teenager, because Gu Bai really didn't know much about Japanese food, let alone Japanese food, Western food and so on were unknown areas for him.

Although it is said that Gu Bai is talented in the original world, there is a saying in Huaxia that there is a specialization in the art industry, and it is taboo to be general and not refined, because of the regional culture and people's different eating habits, it is no exaggeration to describe people who can master multinational cuisine at the same time and have attainments.

Because he was born in Huaxia, and Gu Bai is certainly not a person who is ambitious, he is dedicated to studying Chinese cuisine. For French food, Japanese food, surprises, etc., just as a diner taste, without systematic learning, it is almost impossible to come up with authentic Japanese food.

Therefore, this ramen restaurant is like a life-saving straw for Gu Bai.

In this world, food as a culture is more prevalent, and many junior high schools have opened special cooking courses, such as Yuanyue, which has its own junior high school. Therefore, it is very common for some junior high school students to intern as chefs in restaurants, and some restaurants with background will pick good seedlings from junior and senior high school cooking schools and cultivate internships in restaurants.

But it's still very rare for a small Chinese restaurant like Mingren Nouple Restaurant to recruit interns.

And that day, although Sister Li was a little hesitant, fortunately, Gu Bai's parents were Chinese, and when she communicated with Tang Xiaoli in Chinese in a foreign country, Tang Xiaoli kindly agreed to Gu Bai to make a bowl of noodles and taste it.

Faced with this hard-won opportunity that day, Gu Bai certainly wouldn't take it lightly, and took out twelve points of spirit to prepare to show his skills.

But because the young man's body was relatively weak, even in the two days that the young man was in a coma, the old man didn't know who to borrow a life-saving money, and cooked it himself, using a lot of nourishing ingredients and medicinal herbs to make soup to let Gu Bai who came through the crossing get through the difficulties. But after waking up, Gu Bai cautiously tried several times, and the old man kept silent. In Gu Bai's opinion, this sum of money is not easy to come by, let alone such kindness, so it must be repaid as soon as possible.

But this current physical condition cannot be improved overnight, and you can only barely cook, and you will not be able to do it for a long time. Fortunately, it's just ramen, and you don't need to turn the pot and turn the spoon, etc., otherwise it will be very difficult to pick up the pot for a while with the strength of a teenager.

Gu Bai shook his head, rolled up his sleeves, and carefully washed his hands three times with clean water. After taking the noodles in the basin, I first gently pressed the dough with my fingers, thinking that this noodles should have been made this morning, but by this evening, the dough was already slightly dry and hard, so let's deal with it like this!

Tang Xiaoli watched with interest from the side, the amount of dough taken by the young man was slightly less than that of the master in the store, the oil was evenly smeared over the dough, the power of pressing the dough was also very suitable, and the most important thing was that the technique of ramen was smooth and natural. The master in the store is also a more experienced master, and the thickness of the ramen noodles with 8 buckles is uniform, I don't know if the teenager can...

7 buckles, 8 buckles, yes, such a noodle end to the customer has been qualified. Wait a minute! Tang Xiaoli looked at the 9-button ramen in the boy's hand, and couldn't help but sigh, although this is nothing to the master in the store, but a junior high school boy can move smoothly and do it in one go, Tang Xiaoli is very impressed.

The next step is to test the grasp of the heat, the time for the ramen to cook in boiling water is very important, as long as the time of the noodles is within the appropriate range, the average person will not feel the difference in taste, but Tang Xiaoli, as the owner of the ramen shop, naturally has a lot of experience in the taste of the noodles.

Wait, wait a while and the best time will be reached, suddenly Gu Bai has already scooped up the noodles, Tang Xiaoli frowned slightly, it is a little early, the taste of the noodles will be a little hard, and I thought about it for a teenager to be able to do this.

Gu Bai took out the noodles and put them in the bowl, picked up a few slices of beef and put them in the bowl, and then scooped up a spoonful of thick beef broth and burned it in the bowl, just as Tang Xiaoli was about to taste it, Gu Bai shook his head and said, "It's not good yet!" ”。

I saw Gu Bai gently pour out most of the beef broth in the bowl, leaving only some, and adding a few slices of radish, and after a few seconds, he poured out the soup again, leaving only a small part, and then took a wooden spoon and scooped half a spoonful of spicy sauce to add, and then stirred it evenly with chopsticks. The aroma of the spicy sauce was evenly mixed in a small part of the beef broth, and it became extremely rich with the action of stirring, and the surrounding air carried the irresistible aroma of beef and hot sauce.

When Gu Bai saw this scene, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he asked, "Do you like coriander?" ”

Tang Xiaoli nodded mechanically, staring at the bowl of noodles with straight eyes.

Gu Bai added a pinch of coriander, put it on top of the beef, and handed the bowl to Tang Xiaoli, "Please taste, simple beef jerky noodles." ”

Tang Xiaoli couldn't wait to take the bowl, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a chopstick and put it in her mouth, her eyes lit up, and then she didn't look at Gu Bai, her whole head was about to be buried in the bowl, and she devoured it mouthful.

Gu Bai smiled, this is the magic of food, every time I see a diner acting like this, I feel a sense of pride in my heart.

Gu Bai slowly got up from the chair and went to the kitchen to take out a small bowl, scooped a spoonful of beef consommé, and brought it over.

"Thank you!" Tang Xiaoli took the beef soup and took a big sip, the moist beef soup not only dissolved the spicy taste, but also cleverly solved the problem that the dry noodles would taste a little greasy if eaten too quickly. Tang Xiaoli didn't care about the image of a lady, "It's so delicious!" Then he gobbled it up again.

After a gust of wind, Tang Xiaoli took out a tissue, wiped her mouth, and said with some embarrassment, "It's so delicious, how can it be so delicious, I don't feel full, I still want to eat!" ”

Gu Bai smiled and said, "It's better not to eat too much pasta in the evening, lady." ”

Tang Xiaoli's face turned even redder when she heard Gu Bai's words, and she lowered her head shyly to hide her embarrassment.

Gu Bai continued, "So I specially took some less dough. In addition, ramen is suitable for eating in the morning and at noon. Sister Li worked so hard in the afternoon, and it would definitely not be satisfying to eat only ramen at night. And after a day, although the noodles are stored in a suitable temperature environment, they are still a little hard, so the texture will be thicker, which is just right for beef jerky noodles! Whether it is the texture of the noodles or the rich aroma of the mixture of spicy sauce and beef broth, it will make people more appetizing and satisfied. As for the time to take out the noodles a little earlier, it is also because the texture of the beef jerky is slightly harder than that of ramen, so it is more chewy. As for pouring the beef broth in two parts at the end, the reason is that the beef needs to be flavored and heated for a longer time, while the radish needs to maintain a slightly hard texture, so that the whole bowl of noodles will taste more layered. As for the spicy sauce, you only need a small amount of soup to keep it rich, and stir it well so that the flavor of the noodles will whet your appetite. ”
