Spicy noodles
"Boss, I'm leaving! Business is booming—" Yelina handsomely pulled the car door, sat in the driver's seat, and waved at the proprietress .
"Okay, drive slowly on the road!" The proprietress also said goodbye to her with a bag of milk cakes in her hand.
Although their hotel is not large, the location is very good, the surrounding terrain is empty, and you can park a lot of cars. It is not difficult to see from the photos on the background wall of the hotel that the hotel has a long history and has been standing since the beginning of the last century.
In the back kitchen, a girl named Xiaoxi is struggling to chop mutton, she is Yu Jian, who has changed her name and surname.
Yu Jian has been in Xishi for a long time, and she is nostalgic for the bits and pieces of Datang, but the longer she goes, the more melancholy she feels in her heart. After all, the Tang Dynasty has died out in the long river of history, and no matter how modern it is reproduced, it can only be imitated a little bit of skin. She watched the prosperity below from the castle tower, and finally decided to leave.
So I traveled all the way and came to Xinjiang Province. Later, she inadvertently saves the proprietress from the hostess.
"What's your name?" At that time, the proprietress was shocked and reluctantly asked her name.
She was stunned for a long time before she replied, "My name is ...... Creek."
Later, the proprietress kindly took her in, including food and lodging, and a salary every month. It just so happened that the original chef resigned. In this way, she became a little cook in the back kitchen.
heart, but inexplicably settled.
Heat the pan with cold oil, put in the mutton after the oil is hot, fry the water, add ginger, green onion and garlic slices, then use salt and peppercorns to enhance the flavor, add dark soy sauce to color, fry the fragrance and put in the spicy skin to continue stir-frying.
A spicy smell of chili peppers erupted and swept through the kitchen in an instant. When it is half dry, add the diced tomatoes and let them melt completely in the lamb, then pour in boiling water and bring to a boil.
In between cooking the meat, she began to knead the dough. Add salt to the flour to increase the gluten, pour cold water and stir while stirring, and stir when it is flocculent. The dough should be kneaded three times, so that the dough will not break no matter how long it is stretched. Brush the dough with oil, roll it out into a thin rectangle, quickly cut out small seams with a knife, and then cover it with plastic wrap for the last time.
There was a bubbling sound in the pot, and when I lifted the lid, the tomato soup inside was already cooked to a viscous size, with the smell of spicy skin and mutton, and I felt delicious just by smelling it. Xiaoxi held the ingredient bowl in one hand and the spatula in the other, quickly poured in the diced green peppers and onions, and then added the remaining garlic cloves just now, stir-fried the spatula quickly, and then put in the seasoning to improve the freshness and then get out of the pot.
The noodles are not as thin and crisp as Yangchun noodles, and they are thick and chewy. Therefore, when kneading noodles, pay attention to skills, cylindrical noodles should be repeatedly beaten during the kneading process, and then pulled into thin strips, and the same while pulling.
The water in the cauldron was also boiling, and the stream poured the noodles into it, stirring it repeatedly. The cooking time of handmade noodles is not easy to take too long, and they can be fished out in two or three minutes.
A large pot of noodles was served with a large pot of spicy skin, and a long table was served. This is a free noodle dish at the restaurant, and guests can pick it up if they want.
……
At half past four in the afternoon, vehicles began to stop at the entrance of the hotel. The proprietress glanced outside, pursed her lips and smiled, and when she saw someone coming in, she greeted warmly: "It's a little early today."
The taxi driver scratched his head and smiled innocently: "I took a guest to a neighboring city at noon, and I just came back, and I didn't eat lunch!"
As he spoke, he consciously walked to the cashier and swept ten dollars. Every time he came, he only ate a ten-yuan meal, and he could eat a lot of meat and vegetarian food, which was much more cost-effective than other places. He calculated that even if he ate here every day, he would have hundreds of dollars left. Now the taxi business is not good, and if you can save a little, you can make money.
"I made spicy noodles today, will you eat a little first?" The proprietress looked at him with a tired face and pointed not far away.
The driver's eyes lit up: "I like to eat spicy noodles the most, let me try it." Hurriedly walked to the dining table, lifted the lid on the basin, closed his eyes and sniffed, the spicy mixture of multivitamins made him nod his head in satisfaction, and kept chanting: "Not bad, that's the taste."
"There's mutton soup next to it, pour it yourself!" old
Ban Niang shouted from afar, turned around, and entered the back kitchen.
The driver made a plate of noodles, poured two spoonfuls of spicy skin, poured a bowl of rich mutton soup, laughed twice, rubbed his hands and started. The spicy skin is full of juice, and when you mix it with chopsticks, the fresh fragrance of the mutton and the spicy flavor of the spicy skin are very suitable for the unique smell of onions, which stimulates the driver's eyes to be almost red.
Take a bite of the noodles gently, and the noodles will be so smooth that they can dance in your mouth. Take another bite of the spicy skin full of mutton, which is soft and mellow, sometimes you can chew the clear meat lines, and sometimes you can lick the hot and spicy oil temperature, salty, fresh, spicy, and a variety of flavors are tumbling at the base of the tongue......
He couldn't stop eating.
In less than two minutes, a whole plate of spicy noodles was served, and then I drank the thick mutton soup, and in an instant I felt that all the fatigue seemed to go away with the wind, and the whole person was full of infinite strength.
At this time, the proprietress came up with the meal, which was a stainless steel bowl that had been divided, and a large piece of potato roast chicken took up more than half of the space, accompanied by two kinds of green and crispy vegetables, and a small steak was covered with rice.
"This ...... How can there be a steak?" The driver was a little nervous and didn't dare to put down the chopsticks.
The proprietress pushed the plate towards him, and pouted at the back kitchen, "Xiaoxi heard that you have been driving for several hours, so I specially fried it for you."
"Then I'll pay later......
The proprietress waved her hand, "No, I can still afford this thing." Let's eat, I'll have to get out of the car later!"
The driver was a little moved, and said "hey" several times, and then began to slowly eat the new food.
The proprietress sat in the silver table and looked at the man with gray temples. I vaguely remember that he seemed to be in his forties, nodding, the first two children in the family, and his wife was seriously ill in her early years and couldn't do heavy work. All the financial pressure of the whole family is pressed on him alone. Drive from morning to night, and don't dare to relax and slack off for a day.
Even if sometimes I am sick and extremely uncomfortable, I just come to her to ask for a bowl of ginger soup to rest, and continue on the road when I am relieved.
Life does not give people happiness and fulfillment, sometimes it is also suffering and suffering. The proprietress looked at the taxi driver who was eating heavily, and sighed and sighed in her heart.
His eyes turned to the back kitchen, and his eyes couldn't help but soften again. Although the little girl was usually silent, she saw everything in her eyes.
This piece of bubbling veal steak with hot oil also brings out the soft side of the little girl's heart-
