Chapter 6 Noodle House Life
The rooster crowed, and the quiet Lin'an City began to get busy again. Shan Feng yawned as he removed the planks from the store's door and looked up at the sun that had just climbed into the sky.
Because Shanfeng couldn't pay the face, he had to stay in the Kuiyuan Pavilion to work to pay off his debts. However, the shopkeeper did not treat him badly when he saw Shanfeng's diligence and honesty, not to mention the food and accommodation, and the salary he gave was not low. In the final analysis, the income of Sanglin Village is too low, and the monthly salary of a shopkeeper is more than the money brought by the mountain peak.
Li Wei, the original shopkeeper, was even more happy, because Shanfeng was too hardworking, and he often rushed to kill his work, he felt like he had accepted an errand boy, and he was so cool that he couldn't do it. As for the big-headed Buddha, after the face-to-face duel, the more he looked at the peak, the more pleasing it became, and he even moved the idea to accept the mountain peak as a closed disciple.
One day, in the middle of the night, Shanfeng secretly burned his own large intestine noodles to eat, and happened to be caught by the big-headed Buddha who was in a hurry to urinate in the middle of the night, and the big-headed Buddha did not punish the mountain peak for stealing food, but asked Shanfeng to burn a bowl for him. The big-headed Buddha plans to finish eating the noodles of the mountain peak first, so as to find an opportunity to taunt the mountain peak and get some face back for that day's duel. When the time comes, he will take advantage of the situation to sell a smiling face and accept Shanfeng as a closed disciple, so that Shanfeng will be grateful to him, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone!
Who knows, just after eating a bite of Shanfeng's large intestine noodles, the big-headed Buddha almost couldn't control his knees and wanted to kneel down for Shanfeng. The most terrifying thing is that there is an unreasonable idea in my heart to let Shanfeng accept him as an apprentice.
So, let's interview the Buddha of the Big Head and see how delicious this noodle is. can make him lie on the ground now and not speak, and even shed tears.
"Hey...... What's going on? How can I cry? There's a little bit of sadness. The Big-Headed Buddha gracefully wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and looked at the ceiling in contemplation.
"It's onions, I added onions. Shan Feng crossed his hands behind his back and also looked at the ceiling.
"It turned out to be an onion!" the big-headed Buddha was stiffened by a carp and did not get up. Awkwardly patted the ashes on his body, slowly turned around and got up from the ground, and picked up chopsticks to sit in front of the mountain peak. "It turned out to be an onion! After eating this noodles, people were moved to tears, no wonder it was called gloomy ecstasy......
"I'm sorry, it's just a bowl of intestine noodles. The mountain peaks ruthlessly interrupted the performance of the Big-Headed Buddha.
The big-headed Buddha stuck out his tongue and said with a smile: "I really didn't think there was such a way as an onion! Gao is really high!" The chopsticks in his hand did not stop, and he continued to eat noodles.
The addition of onions not only suppresses the fishy smell of the large intestine, but also makes the noodle soup fresher, but if it is just onions, it is not enough. The Big-Headed Buddha was the imperial chef after all, and he could be sure that there was something else in the noodles besides onions. But what it was, he couldn't tell by his tongue.
After eating the noodles, the big-headed Buddha wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the mountain peaks that were still standing on the side and looked up at the ceiling, and countless questions filled his heart.
Why does this kid know about onions, and where does this noodle cooking come from? Who is he?
It turned out that onions were not something that was grown in the field or bought on the street at that time. The Central Plains could not be planted at all, and all the onions in the Central Plains at that time were traded from the Western Regions. Therefore, except for some large restaurants that have a small amount of stock, there is basically no chance to eat them in ordinary people's homes. For ordinary people, it is possible that they do not even know what onions look like, and most people may not know that there is a vegetable called onions.
Shanfeng can know that onions are naturally because he has eaten them since he was a child, and of course he doesn't eat them often, and he can only eat them when his mother burns large intestine noodles. As for the craftsmanship of roasting noodles, every time Qian Susu burned large intestine noodles, Shanfeng was by his side to help, and later when Qian Susu was seriously ill and couldn't get out of bed, Shanfeng burned it for himself on his birthday that year, but he thought it was better for his mother to burn it.
Therefore, Qian Susu's craftsmanship can be regarded as inherited, but I didn't expect that even the big-headed Buddha, known as the king of Jiangnan, would bow down to this large intestine noodles. By the way, why was Qian Susu able to get onions?
Shanfeng didn't think there was anything unusual about the onions, and the big-headed Buddha knew that the onions were added to the noodles but became confused, did this kid really know how to burn them? Or did he put the onions in the store when he saw them in the store?
"Well, start cooking with me tomorrow. How can I say that I used to be an imperial chef, not that I ......blow it with you" The original plan of the big-headed Buddha was shattered by this bowl of large intestine noodles, so he didn't plan to toss more, and was ready to explain to Shanfeng directly and accept Shanfeng as a closed disciple. He crossed his hands on his chest, turned his back to the mountain, raised his head slightly, and began to proudly recount his highlight moments of the year.
"As for you, don't think there's anything wrong with chefs? Some people might say that we chefs have big heads and thick necks. That's prejudice! A person with a big head and a thick neck may also be a big sum! You know, a chef! A high-paying profession! A chef! Never be unemployed! I'll tell you secretly, I was actually lucky enough to participate in the last cooking competition, and I saw a superchef ......."
The big-headed Buddha said, secretly glanced back at the peak, only to see that the peak was still staring at the ceiling, and two lines of tears continued to flow.
I didn't expect to be my closed disciple, and I could actually make him cry! The big-headed Buddha also had a sour nose, cried with joy, hugged the mountain peak, and cried. "Don't worry, as long as you are willing to learn, I will definitely pass on all the cooking skills I have learned all my life to you!"
In the distance, Li Wei, who got up in the middle of the night to pee, looked at the two of them in the candlelight and shivered. This big-headed Buddha actually has this habit, I will talk to Shanfeng tomorrow, although this kid is stupid, but his character is good, and he usually helps himself do so much work, and he will be reminded tomorrow.
The mountain peak in the arms of the big-headed Buddha didn't know what the big-headed Buddha and Li Wei were thinking at the moment, and he was still looking at the ceiling with all his attention.
So what is it on the ceiling that makes the mountain so mesmerizing?
It turned out that the ceiling was painted with a statue of Guanyin, and it might be more appropriate to say half a picture. Only the head and neck, to be exact. Under the neck was a black mark, and then the wall of the store.
This half of the statue of Guanyin is also one of the reasons why the Kuiyuan Museum is famous, delicious people come here to eat noodles, and most of the literati and artists come for this broken statue of Guanyin. This painting is not painted by ordinary people, but by Yan Zixuan, a former court painter. Yan Zixuan's handwriting is extremely rare, not to mention, and it is such a huge ceiling mural. And the reason why there is only this "piece" left now is a legendary story.
Why do you feel so kind? Shanfeng couldn't figure out why he wept when he looked at this painting. Probably an onion......
Then, the big-headed Buddha who planned to accept Shanfeng as a closed disciple began to teach Shanfeng to learn to cook, but Shanfeng didn't seem to want to learn, and he still only burned the large intestine noodles when he taught and learned, and the others were difficult to eat. In the end, the big-headed Buddha had no choice but to cut off the idea of accepting Shanfeng as an apprentice, and Shanfeng returned to the front desk to be a little second.
In this way, Shanfeng stayed in Lin'an City for more than a month, and he was busy every day in order to repay the money, and he didn't care about being a hero. Every day, I either run the hall, or I help the big tiger and the two tigers in the back kitchen. In addition, the reputation of Kuiyuan Pavilion is great, and he often falls asleep when he is tired.
Shanfeng suddenly had a nosebleed when he ran to the hall several times, and it was particularly fierce, which scared a lot of customers who ate noodles, and then Shanfeng basically did chores in the back kitchen.
The Great Tiger and the Second Tiger are not so friendly to the mountain peaks, because the Big Headed Buddha treats the mountain peaks much better than them. The two of them usually always command the mountain peak to work, and often pick the thorns of the mountain peak when they have nothing to do. Either the radish wasn't cut well, or the cucumber wasn't washed.
Fortunately, Shanfeng didn't have a heart, no matter how he scolded him, he continued to work with a smile and was not angry at all. In the end, the big tiger and the second tiger were also made to lose their temper, and they could be regarded as accepting the mountain peak.
