Chapter 37: I'll Give You Something to Eat

Niu Yong had never been so eager in his life, he paced back and forth, and Wang Meng's words kept coming to mind. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Choose, and, wake up, slip, pull. These are the five basic steps of making noodles, and you can't even do this well, so dare you say that you can make noodles?"

Niu Yong is not a reckless man, on the contrary, he is very smart. He saw the strangeness of Wang Meng's state, and because of this, he knew that Wang Meng was indeed not lying, and the taste of the noodles after some of the shortcomings in the process of making noodles that he said was really much more chewy, which made Master Niu, who thought that he was the best in the world, ashamed.

Because of this, Wang Meng may really have the secret recipe to make better noodles.

Niu Yong is a noodle idiot, and everything related to making noodles is always put first. In the past few days, he has not eaten well or slept well, and when he closes his eyes, he is the face mentioned by Wang Meng. In his eyes, this side is not much better than the peerless cheats in the eyes of martial arts masters. So he didn't hesitate to worship Wang Meng as a teacher in public regardless of his face, but this time was really sad, and he couldn't hold it back for a few days.

No, when he heard that Wang Meng was practicing at the Eagle's Beak Cliff, he waited at the foot of the mountain, pacing while waiting.

"Yo, isn't this Master Niu?" Sun Wen's eyes were sharp, and he shouted from afar.

"Master Wang, are you done practicing?" Niu Yong was apprehensive, but he was very respectful to Wang Meng on his face, and he stubbornly believed that technology was the first priority, regardless of age.

"Master Niu, don't be like this, I was talking nonsense last time, don't take it seriously. Wang Meng didn't dare to really admit such an apprentice.

"I also asked the master for advice. Teach me how to make noodles!"

Wang Meng hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Master Niu, you really don't want to be like this." Otherwise, I'll apologize to you. ”

Niu Yong went out, and said with tears: "Please also ask the master to teach me, I just want to pursue the ultimate in making noodles in my life, and please ask the master to teach me!"

Now Sun Wen is not in the mood to laugh, a big man kneeling in front of the two little boys crying, he can't imagine that this picture is so embarrassing.

"Xiao Mengzi, if you really know how to make Na Laoshi noodles, let's take a look, anyway, we are hungry, and we can save ・・・・・・・" said and pointed to Niu Yong, who was holding Wang Meng's thigh.

"It's ・・・・・・ okay, Master Niu, get up. I'll just do it. Wang Meng reluctantly agreed.

"Really?" Niu Yong wiped his tears, "Then Master Wang will go back to the noodle restaurant together, I haven't been open for the past few days, and the ingredients are ready, just wait for the master to show your hand." ”

This speed of changing faces, just a face of lovelessness, now full of spring breeze, how can there be half a bit of frustration. The two couldn't help but feel that they were still too young.

Inside the beef hall.

Wang Meng closed his eyes and took a deep breath, putting aside the complicated state of mind at this time.

Suddenly, Wang Meng opened his eyes, and at this moment, even Sun Wen felt that Wang Meng was inexplicably weird.

"The first step is to choose the surface. Good flour is the foundation of a good bowl of noodles. Flour can not be used aged noodles, moth-eaten mildew should be eliminated, it is best to use high-gluten flour within three days. ”

As he spoke, Wang Meng had already selected ten catties of flour. Rub your fingers into the flour, feel the smoothness, and nod slightly.

"Noodles are the key to a bowl of ramen. ”

"When mixing noodles, you should also put an appropriate amount of water and ash, the first thing you should pay attention to is the temperature of the water, generally require warm water in winter, and cool water in other seasons. If it is ash, it is made of alkali powder fired from the fluffy grass of the Gobi Desert. This alkali powder is added to the noodles, which not only gives the noodles a special fragrance, but also makes the noodles smooth and yellow, and the tendons are strong. ”

Speaking of which, ten catties of flour have become a large dough. Wang Meng took the trouble to knead, and the dough continued to twist and deform, but Wang Meng had no intention of stopping, while continuing to add water, and at the same time adding the alkali powder that had been prepared.

"This process is crucial, don't feel like a hassle. As the saying goes, "three times water, three times ash, ninety-nine eighty-one times kneaded". Always keep the dough slightly lower than the temperature of your fingers. ”

"Wake up, that is, to reconcile the dough and leave it for a while. Generally, it should not be less than two quarters of an hour in winter and a little shorter in summer. Saying that, Wang Meng put the reconciled dough on the board, paused slightly, closed his eyes, and suddenly the whole noodle restaurant was quiet, and everyone's breathing was clearly audible.

It was almost time before Wang Meng suddenly opened his eyes. He stepped forward, first pounded, kneaded, stretched, and dropped the large ball of soft dough repeatedly, then put the dough on the board, held the ends of the strip with both hands, lifted it and beat it vigorously on the board. After the strip is elongated, fold the ends in half, continue to hold the ends and beat, and so on.

After about ten minutes, he began to roll the dough into long strips, which were 20 millimeters thick and the length of chopsticks.

He pointed with his hand: "This is the slippery noodles." "Didn't explain much.

Wang Meng placed the noodles on a cutting board and sprinkled them with clear oil to prevent the noodles from sticking.

Then he grasps both ends of the noodles with his hands, accelerates the outward stretching of both arms evenly, and then folds the two ends in half, placing both ends in the fingers of one hand at the same time, hooking the other end with the middle finger of the other hand facing down, turning the palm of the hand upside down to make the noodles form a noose, and at the same time stretching both hands to both sides.

Once the noodles are elongated, place the end of the right hand on your left finger and continue to hook the other end with your right hand.

This whole set of skills is very skillful, and the movements are so fast that many apprentices did not see Wang Meng's movements clearly.

In a short time, the noodles have been divided into dozens of extremely thin noodles after repeated stretching. What made Niu Yong's eyes shine was that Wang Meng still continued to stretch.

You know, the noodles had broken when he pulled them down halfway before. He also felt that the toughness of the noodles could only be pulled down so thin at most. Now it's dawn on me.

Without any warning, Wang Meng stopped stretching and threw a handful of noodles into the soup pot.

He exhaled, is this a memorial?

"Open the door, open the door, Master Niu, it's me Manqing. You have the ability to make noodles, you have the ability to open the door! Don't hide inside and keep quiet, I know you're at home!" Chen Manqing's voice came from outside the door, interrupting Wang Meng's thoughts.

Master Niu smiled bitterly, this little ancestor has come over every day these days, and he is reluctant to leave if he can't eat a few bowls of noodles a day.

"It's so fragrant, I don't care, I'm in. "One jumped over the wall and fell lightly to the ground.

"It's amazing!" Wang Meng was stunned, is there such a top master in this city? This light skill looks even more relaxed than Zhang Bufan. This Chen Manqing is not simple.

"It's so fragrant! Master Niu, you don't know, nothing tastes like you eat without your noodles. Chen Manqing circled around the pot, looking impatient and making people laugh.

"Enough time, it's time to get out of the pot. "The soup base takes a long time, and it can't be done overnight, so I used the soup base that Master Niu used to make, and of course the flavor was much richer after adding a few things that Wang Meng had mentioned.

The noodles were boiling in the pot with boiling water, and none of the noodles touched the edge of the pot. After scooping it up, it is put into the soup bowl at one end, like a blooming flower. As the saying goes, "Ramen noodles are like a plate of threads, go down to the pot and go around slowly, and you can get the chrysanthemum petals in the bowl." ”

Master Niu was not polite, and directly picked up a few noodles with chopsticks and tasted them.

He chewed twice, closed his eyes and savored for a long time.

Then he stood up and bowed deeply to Wang Meng, who hurriedly let him go, not daring to accept the salute.

"If it weren't for the master, I wouldn't have known that I had been sitting in the sky for so long. The master can stand this worship. Niu Yong insisted.

"Don't bow and worship, don't you still have noodles, make me a bowl first!" Sun Wen couldn't stand it anymore, and said that he was indeed hungry and panicked, so he hurriedly asked Wang Meng to make him a bowl.

"No! I'll do it first. Wang Meng, I order you, give me food below!" Chen Manqing is not obedient, Master Niu will eat first, you are an ordinary waste boy and I will grab food!

"Uh, I'll give you something to eat?" Wang Meng was wicked.

"Yes, listen to me, the benefits are indispensable to you!" Chen Manqing was smug.

"No, little Mengzi, I can't stand it anymore when I'm hungry, give me food first!" Sun Wen complained.

"Give it to me first, give it to me first!" "Is it a brother?" "Is it a brother or sister?" "Huh?"

Wang Meng was helpless, okay, the people in this world are still pure・・・・・・・
