Chapter 128: The Gentleman Cooks Far Away

Autumn always wakes up a lot earlier than usual.

Sima Shao had just finished the warm-up action, changed into a white-bottomed shirt, stepped on cloth shoes, and was about to go out for a morning run when he suddenly met Nan'er who came back from outside.

The little maid Nan'er was struggling to carry a half-person-high wooden barrel in her hand, which was full of changing clothes, and when she looked up and saw that it was Sima Shao, she was stunned and said, "Your Highness..."

"Morning."

"Morning ...... Is Your Highness going out? ”

The little maid obviously hadn't gotten used to this way of greeting, and was stunned before she reacted.

"Take advantage of your youth and good health, go out for a walk."

"It's another exercise."

His Royal Highness has come up with a lot of novel words from time to time, and the words 'exercise' have often been on his lips recently, and the little maids will learn and use them now.

"Your Highness, wait for me, I'll accompany you to exercise."

What is this for? Is this because you are afraid of getting lost?

There is inexplicably a little follower behind her, look at her little arms and short legs.

There is no way, so it has changed from a morning run by one person to a morning market by two people.

Jiankang's morning market is indeed very lively, and the shops shouting everywhere on the roadside have turned on the lights early to do business.

Entered a noodle shop, the guys were busy shouting inside and out, most of the people in and out of the shop were ordinary people, Sima Shao walked in a dress and looked like a rich boy.

The food in the prince's mansion is either bad or tasteless.

Of course, compared with the later generations, it is naturally more than one grade worse, and today it just came out to change the taste.

After Nan'er sat down, her eyes were glued to the boiling soup, until Xiao Er brought the noodles with a smile, and then she couldn't wait to pick up the wooden chopsticks.

As soon as he took the first bite into his mouth, Sima Shao's movements froze.

Nan'er was eating a lot, and when she saw that he didn't eat, she whispered suspiciously: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" ”

It's not like much, it's just that the taste is a little lighter......

"Don't you think it tastes... Anyway, it's not to my taste..."

Nan'er bit off the noodles in her mouth, her face blushing a little, "Your Highness, the food outside is not as good as in the house, but this noodle shop is already much better than others." ”

Much better than others?

Sima Shao put down the chopsticks, he still didn't like the taste.

The noodles with clear soup and little water, which he really can't appreciate, are not as good as instant noodles in modern society.

Seeing that Sima Shao didn't eat, Nan'er didn't dare to continue eating, and beckoned Xiao Er to settle and leave, but he didn't want Xiao Er to greet the boss.

The boss prides himself on being a dignified person, and when he looks at the two bowls of noodles on the table that have not touched a few chopsticks, he seems to be a little angry, and feels that the two people in front of him are deliberately making trouble.

"Why don't the two guest officers eat? Is it that the noodles in the small shop are not to your taste? ”

"It's not a secret, in Jiankang City, the small shop is not the most delicious, it is also one of the best, what do you mean?"

Sima Shao glanced at the food in front of him again, and then took the silver taels in Nan'er's hand, without saying a word, put them on the checkout table, and said: "Boss, your noodles are very good, we are in a hurry..."

Early in the morning, what can be urgent?

The boss's face changed a few times in a short time, although he was just an ordinary businessman, but this bowl of noodles used his family's ancestral secret recipe, which was carefully cooked.

"The guest officer is here on purpose to find fault?"

Sima Shao was about to get up, but for no reason he was buttoned by the boss, and after looking around, he found that the surrounding diners were staring at him.

Nan'er blushed a little and gently tugged on Sima Shao's sleeve.

"Boss, I just think the taste of this noodle is a little lighter, but I didn't mean to find fault."

"Light?"

The boss was a little surprised, picked up the bowl, and didn't dislike Sima Shao's chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth, it was still the same taste as before!

The diners on the side don't seem to be able to listen to it anymore, they eat this noodle every day, and you just eat it and say it's not delicious?

"Lao Wang's noodles have been sold for more than ten years, and it is the first time that someone has said that they are not delicious."

"I think this kid Bacheng is deliberately trying to stir up trouble."

Nan'er was frightened, stood up and hid beside Sima Shao, and had the courage to refute a few words, but she was frightened back.

Sima Shao shook his head, picked up the noodle bowl, and sandwiched a noodle.

"It's moderately soft and glutinous, but the noodles don't have gluten, and they taste like chewing wax, and they don't have a lot of seasoning."

The boss was stunned by what he said, and then asked, "Do you know how to make noodles?" ”

"It's not just a little bit..."

"Why don't I try it?"

"I'm good at it, so I'll show you today."

Sima Shao was also suddenly interested, and he couldn't care about Nan'er's desperate eyes on the side.

Got up and walked towards the back kitchen of the noodle shop, and said, "Borrow your kitchen utensils and food, no problem, right?" ”

"No, no problem......"

The boss was also a little stunned, thinking that this person was too strong, could it really be that his peers were sent to smash the field.

A few cooks and chefs in the back kitchen watched a young man dressed in white come over, and before they could react for a while, they heard the man say: "Prepare some peppercorns, bean paste, minced ginger and garlic, slaughter the half-fat and half-lean pork into minced meat for later use, heat the pot and pour in vegetable oil to burn until it is seventy percent hot, and put the minced pork into the pot and stir-fry." ”

“……”

Everyone in the back kitchen looked dazed, but they heard the boss say: "Do what he says, I want to see what tricks he can make!" ”

Sima Shao put on a bib, came to an iron pot, put a little salt and stir-fry a few times when the minced pork was dry, put in an appropriate amount of watercress and continue to stir-fry for a minute, add white water to boil when the watercress fragrance is fried, and when the water surface is boiled to just past the pork, put in monosodium glutamate and wet starch to collect the juice and put it in a bowl for later use, and the fried sauce is ready.

Seeing Sima Shao's skillful technique, not only Nan'er, but even the owner of the noodle shop was stunned.

"What a smell, what is this?"

"Hey, look, he's starting to cook noodles!"

Start another stove, put the noodles in boiling water and boil them in the pot after boiling, and put some pea seedlings, lettuce leaves, cabbage and other vegetable leaves into the pot before the noodles are boiled.

"It smells so good."

"Looks like a taste of this thing."

There was a lot of talking.

Finally, put the cooked noodles and green cabbage leaves into a bowl (and then pour the pre-prepared fried sauce on the noodles, and the Sichuan-style fried noodles are ready to serve, stir the noodles well, and you can start serving.

When a bowl of hot fried noodles is served, the whole noodle shop is attracted by the fragrance, this kind of snack that is extremely popular in later generations, the appearance alone is amazing enough, all kinds of ingredients are mixed together, it looks very pleasing to the eye.

One pot of three bowls of noodles, one bowl each for himself and Nan'er, and one bowl for the boss.

Sima Shao was not polite, he picked up the fried noodles and ate them deliciously, Nan'er, who was already swallowing saliva on the side, didn't need Sima Shao to greet her, and she had already picked up the dishes and chopsticks.

As for the boss's side, his face was a little strange, and he was a little hesitant, and under the coaxing of other diners, he finally reluctantly got off the chopsticks, and when he took a bite into his mouth, the whole person was stunned in place.

......

"Hiccup-" The maid Nan'er may have eaten too much fried noodles, and she was burping all the way, covering her mouth with a red face, and she didn't dare to look at Sima Shao when she lowered her head.

"Haha, tell you to eat less, if you like it, I'll make it for you next time." Sima Shao said with satisfaction.

"I didn't expect His Highness to cook so deliciously, but I haven't heard of this practice before, you didn't look at the boss's face, and you thought we were here to smash the field......"

"There are still a lot of things I didn't expect, but fortunately we slipped away quickly, otherwise we might have been beaten."

"Your Highness shouldn't be cooking outside, let people know how bad it is."

"Got it, gentleman is far away."
