Chapter 182: Stretching the Noodles

In winter, it gets dark early, and Du Yuniang wants to cook early.

In the evening, she decided to eat noodles with lo-mei, so she got up early.

When Du Yuniang scooped the white noodles, Liu's eyes were like small knives.

It's only been a few days since I've been in town! Their grain, no, to be exact, the amount of their fine grain and white flour, has decreased dramatically!

When you get to town, you can't eat whole grains? Do you have to have japonica rice and white noodles every day?

Liu is not happy, life has not been like this.

As soon as Du Yuniang saw it, she knew that Liu's careful eye was wrong again.

"Mother, let's open a noodle shop in the future, and we will sell white noodles! If you don't let me make noodles now, we don't know what it tastes like! Will I be able to sell the noodles I made? What are you doing to change your door-picking problem? Otherwise, when the back hall earns money, can't I pay you back 200 catties of white noodles? ”

Liu was amused by Du Yuniang, "Okay, you scoop it!" Pay me back 200 pounds, this is what you said, you remember! ”

Du Ankang just came in the door, "Why else are you still two hundred pounds?" ”

Du Yuniang smiled, "Come over and meet with me!" ”

Du Yuniang put the panel away, and prepared some water for dough, she touched the water temperature, and said to Du Ankang, who had washed her hands: "You touch this water temperature, remember this temperature, generally speaking, you need to use water at this temperature to make noodles." ”

Du Ankang tested the temperature of the water and felt that the water was a little hotter than cold water.

"The water temperature is only one of the factors, the ratio of water to flour, the strength used when kneading the noodles, and the time for making noodles are the key to whether the noodles are delicious or not."

"There is also salt, how much to add to the noodles, that is also particular. This thing doesn't need to be called, it's based on experience. ”

Du Yuniang said while getting started, and Du Ankang watched it seriously.

Du Yuniang kneaded the dough repeatedly until the dough was smooth, and she didn't stop.

Du Ankang kept saying: "Ouch, this dough is rounder than a monk's head!" ”

"Get up, why are you talking!" Du Yuniang took a big basin and said to him, "Look at the elasticity of this dough." She stretched out a finger and poked the dough, and a small pit immediately appeared on the dough, and when she took her finger away, the pit on the dough slowly rebounded, which looked particularly interesting.

"When the noodles are ready, the elasticity will be better." She said, as she fastened the large basin to the dough, "It's almost time for a pillar of incense." ”

Du Ankang nodded like pounding garlic on the side, and he didn't know until today that making noodles is not a simple thing, and there is a lot of knowledge here.

As soon as the time came, Du Yuniang took away the basin that was buckled on the dough and began to knead the dough.

"Brother, you watch my movements carefully." Du Yuniang deliberately slowed down her movements, she kneaded the dough repeatedly, put some flour on it, and then broke the large dough into several fist-sized small dough.

Next is wrestling and doping, these skills are more difficult, practice makes perfect, not a day or two can be practiced.

Du Yuniang didn't think that it was impossible for Du Ankang to learn to stretch noodles within a few days. She now hopes that Du Anxing will not reject being a husband, after all, many people think that it is a very unproductive thing for men to revolve around the pot.

Du Yuniang asked him while stretching the noodles, "Big brother, if this noodle restaurant really opens, you will have to revolve around the pot every day in the future." ”

Du Ankang smiled, "So what's there?" If I can learn these skills from you in the future, and support this family, I will be happy to be tired and hard. ”

"That's not what I'm talking about!" Du Yuniang asked him: "You are a big man, are you willing to shrink in the kitchen all day?" ”

Du Ankang only said: "What you said is not right, I have heard that the people in charge of the big restaurant are all men." What happened to the man? This dough is laborious work, and it has to be done by men. ”

There's a lot to know.

Du Yuniang smiled and didn't speak, let's do it, just don't be disgusted!

"Boil water!"

"Hey!" Du Ankang hurriedly went to boil water, adding water to the pot while watching Du Yuniang's movements.

Du Yuniang quickly folded the noodles in half, stretched them, and folded them in half.

Du Ankang looked intently, and his eyes didn't blink.

In the end, when Du Yuniang shook the noodles apart, Du Ankang's eyes were straight.

"Is the water good?"

"Alright, alright!"

Du Yuniang shook the noodles and slowly put them into the pot.

"Be gentle and spread out the noodles appropriately." Du Yuniang stirred it with chopsticks, "Prepare some cold water, and pour some into it when it comes up." ”

Du Ankang nodded hurriedly, with that attitude, as if he was a junior apprentice.

Du Yuniang took advantage of this effort and cut some chopped green onions. Then I cut two plates of marinated water and cooled water.

"Yu Niang, the water is boiling!" Du Ankang took the water scoop and filled it with some cold water, "Are these enough?" ”

"Pour it in, remember to stir it."

"Oh, good!" Du Ankang hurriedly did so, looking cautious, as if he was afraid of being taught a lesson by the master.

Du Yuniang went to take a look at the bone broth, and as soon as she opened the lid of the pot, a strong fragrance wafted out.

"It's still a lot worse!"

The broth made with a big bone stick and an old hen is very fragrant, but it still has limitations in taste!

The ingredients are abundant, and the taste of the soup will also have a sense of layering, of course, how much to put in each ingredient and how to put it is also particular. As long as the proportion of ingredients is arranged just right, the flavors of the ingredients will complement each other, and the taste of the soup will be greatly improved.

"Let's do it first!" Du Yuniang walked to the stove, took the chopsticks from Du Ankang's hand, and stirred the noodles.

"It's okay, bring the bowl!"

Du Ankang hurriedly brought the bowl prepared in advance.

Du Yuniang picked the noodles and put them in large bowls, then put the chopped green onions prepared in advance on the noodles, and added bone broth to each bowl of soup.

"There is no sauce beef, otherwise it is better to put two slices!" Du Yuniang said: "But you can add a little meat sauce, the taste will definitely be better!" ”

Du Ankang said: "How much meat sauce do you fry!" ”

Du Yuniang smiled thiefly, "I guess there isn't much left!" But I also made a hot sauce, and a small spoonful is enough to eat. ”

Du Ankang went to get the jar of meat sauce, and filled some in a small bowl, and also some hot sauce.

"It's time to eat!"

Du Yuniang hurriedly beckoned everyone to wash their hands and eat.

Xiaohuzi jumped out of the house, ran to Du Yuniang's side and said, "Sister, I can smell the fragrance!" ”

"Yours are indispensable." There were two tables in the room, and Tian carefully supported his waist and sat on the edge of the kang.

"Grandmother, mother, father, come and see what I do on this side." Du Yuniang and Du Ankang, brother and sister, served a bowl of noodles to everyone in the Du family.
