Liu Zefu did not directly stay by the stove to boil water.It's not the county's somen noodles, but the noodles are remixed directly on one side, and a few eggs are added to the noodles, and then they are constantly kneaded.Eventually form a dough.Finally, the dough is pulled into very thin noodles."
Brother Zefu, don't be so troublesome, just pull the gnocchi and do a bunch of things for you."
Seeing that fine beads of sweat had already appeared on Liu Zefu's forehead, Liu Chunlai regretted it a little.I didn't know I wouldn't have come.People have a bunch of things, and they have to spend time making noodles for themselves.He forgot that the noodles that were supposed to be served in the middle of the banquet were canceled by him.In the hilly area of eastern Sichuan, the fields in the ravines under the mountains are planted with rice; In the soil of the mountains, because of the lack of water, wheat is grown.Here, there are not only the special foods of the south, but also the various food cultures of the north.So, at the banquet, there will be noodles in the middle, and rice at the end.This is also to save on banquet costs.After all, only red and white celebrations will hold banquets, to show the generosity of the host's family, not only to eat well, but also to eat enough.In the era when everyone is poor, it is normal to not see oil and meat at home for a month, and at the banquet, the meat may not be enough, at least the oil will not be less.That's a good meal.It's not easy to feed people who don't have much meat in their stomachs.The big bowl that can almost hold a pound of rice, many people can eat three bowls in one meal, or the kind of bowl with a hat is piled up with a tip, and the edge of the bowl rises high.Rice alone, there's not so much, isn't it?
Unlike the north, where the staple food is a variety of noodles, rice is what everyone likes.Eating noodles is also helpless.Therefore, in the middle of the banquet, the upper part of the dish will be served to the participants in the banquet with a circle of noodles, so that not only can save costs, but also allow everyone to eat well and be full.Halfway through, it's because of poverty.Liu Chunlai also heard this from Liu Zefu at the beginning, so he waved his hand and canceled this noodle in the middle, it was more difficult to manage the meat pipe, not that Liu Chunlai was unwilling to give this kind of cost, Liu Baye paid for this banquet!
The old man didn't care about the cost either, but he had to save some of it.Four pigs, with more than 500 pounds of meat.Even the water in his stomach, Liu Chunlai also asked to make it into a dish and serve it on the table.A table of at least three catties of meat, as well as other bones and water, is decent enough in this era.Thinking of these, I looked at Liu Zefu's movements again.The noodles are pulled by hand and are about the same thickness as bean sprouts.The pot is very large, and I don't know who borrowed it from to cook pig food, and the pot is a large iron pot with a diameter of 2 feet 4, and most of the pot water is added in the middle.In the countryside, no one will prepare a few cauldrons there.An iron pot costs a few dollars.Usually, the bottom of the pot is burned, and it is only brought to the set on the spot, and the blacksmith will continue to use it after using the melted molten pig iron and directly replenishing it.New pot?
That doesn't exist.Therefore, in order to hold a banquet or something, except for some plates that must be professional, other dishes and chopsticks are borrowed from various families.More than ten large iron pots, more than ten stoves, even if the old Liu family used to have some large banquets, it was not enough.What's more, there hasn't been such a big scene for more than ten years.Fortunately, the pot was washed more energetically, and even the edges were still shining in the light.There is a lot of water in the pot, and it is not easy to boil.After the noodles were torn, Liu Zefu took out a piece of pig's head meat from a large basket next to him.The pig's head even smoked."
This is freshly marinated pork head meat, make you a bowl of braised pork noodles."
Liu Zefu smiled.Asked about the aroma of braised meat, Liu Chunlai's saliva flowed.Liu Zefu's knife work is very good, but at this time, the braised meat is cut big and thick."
It's better to get less, just four pig heads, more than a hundred tables," Liu Chunlai reminded Liu Zefu.He didn't know how the meat of four pigs' heads could be cut out and filled with nearly two hundred plates."
Don't worry, this tube is enough, didn't I buy three more yesterday."
Liu Chunlai wanted to say that it was not enough, so he simply shut up.The chef knows how many banquets to make.Less is not enough, more will be left too much, resulting in a waste of the Lord's house.To ask again is to distrust the other person.Liu Zefu's situation is more distinctive, and his craftsmanship is really good, but the situation in the family looks particularly unlucky, which makes him have no one to invite him to sit at the table in these years.Soon, the water in the pot was churning."
Sophora flowers, help cut some green onions!
Finely chopped. ”Liu Zefu turned his head and shouted to Xu Huaihua, who was busy chopping vegetables not far away.Xu Huaihua hurriedly put down the work in her hand, washed her hands in a bucket, and wiped her hands on the floral apron on her waist before going to the board next to her.On the board, there is a large basket full of shallots that have been sorted out.Liu Chunlai has been watching from the sidelines.At the same time, he was chatting with Liu Zefu.To make ramen, you need to mix the noodles first and ferment them so that they can be pulled for a long time.But Liu Zefu makes hand-pulled noodles, and there is no fermentation process at all."
The climate here is not as good as the north, and the wheat growth time is not as long as that in the north, and the noodles made of flour here are not as strong as those in the north, and eggs are added to the flour to make the noodles harder and taste stronger.Liu Chunlai understands.Just like the carpenter in the past, if you want to process a round table, you don't know the principle, the calculation formula of the perimeter, but people know how big the area is, how big the diameter is, how to cut the material, how to process it.That's what Master taught.Why doesn't Master teach the principles?
The Master himself didn't know, and the Master's Master didn't teach, it was all accumulated through experience.The noodles are boiled for a long time, a large pot of water, and the noodles are constantly tumbling in it.This noodle is too hard to cook.Don't talk about other skills, but when it comes to cooking noodles, Liu Chunlai is still clear.Even if it's a dry noodle, it's never been cooked for so long.Finally, it's time to get out of the pot.Liu Zefu prepared several large bowls, and did not put any seasoning in them.Only before that, directly in the noodle cooking pot, the boiled cabbage seedlings are spread at the bottom of the bowl.The boiled noodles are served directly in a bowl, and then the noodles are topped with braised pork and sprinkled with chopped green onions.Another bowl of soup was scooped from a boiling pot next to it.Then I scooped a large spoonful of a small spoon into a full pot of red oil on the board and poured it into the bowl.Sprinkle with chopped green onions."
Taste it."
Liu Zefu handed the finished noodles to Liu Chunlai, Feng Songtao, and Liu Qianshan.The fragrance had already made Liu Chunlai swallow his saliva constantly, and his stomach was really hungry, so he found a pair of chopsticks, mixed them in the bowl a few times, and then picked the noodles with chopsticks.As soon as the noodles are in the mouth, the flavors stimulate the taste buds.My stomach feels hungrier at this point.The spicy red oil, the aroma of shallots, and even a hint of umami, and even the marinade that blends the flavors of various ingredients, all exploded in the mouth.It's very layered.However, Liu Chunlai didn't care about distinguishing what the taste was, so he chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed his stomach.As soon as I swallowed it, the movements of my hands did not stop.He picked up the noodles and fed them to his mouth.The same is true for Feng Songtao next to him, if he doesn't understand what it means to gobble, just look at his movements at this time, and he can deeply understand it.Never forget.Liu Qianshan was even more unbearable, and he swallowed it without even chewing much.Liu Zefu watched Liu Chunlai eat heavily, and the folds on his face were squeezed together.I didn't wait any longer, but went to get busy again.After eating a bowl of noodles, my stomach not only felt full, but even a little supportive.The various flavors in the delicious taste made Liu Chunlai want to have another bowl of "whirring" Feng Songtao has not finished eating.But there wasn't much left in the bowl.Liu Qianshan's bowl had already bottomed out, and there was no soup left."
Do you still want to eat?
I'm gone" Feng Songtao was originally eating while drinking the soup in the bowl, and he was eating vigorously at this time.Seeing Liu Chunlai and Liu Qianshan both looking at him, he was embarrassed when he was sweating profusely.Divide what is in your own bowl?
Forget it."
I eat so greasy and spicy early in the morning, and I say that you are not only spicy" It happened that at this time, Yang Dingtian and his assistant Xu Li also came.At noon, they also cook a few traditional Cantonese dishes.This was said last night.They didn't have much to cook, but Lao Liu's family had a lot, even if they didn't sleep for a few hours, they came down so early.Next to him is Jin Defu.Liu Zefu just glanced at him and didn't say anything."
Master Yang, why don't you let Grandpa Zefu make a bowl of noodles, can you taste it?"
Liu Qianshan looked disdainful.This turtle son, I guess I haven't tasted how delicious this noodles are."
Okay, I'll try it."
Yang Dingtian looked at Liu Zefu with provocative eyes.Liu Zefu didn't say anything, just looked at Liu Chun.The captain is silent, but he can't do it."
Okay, in that case, Brother Zefu will make some more, many people haven't eaten breakfast.This noodle shouldn't be easy to mud, right?
”Liu Chunlai asked Liu Zefu.After eating a large bowl of noodles, it is indeed much stronger than ordinary somen noodles.But the specifics, Liu Chunlai is also unclear.Just know a delicious.Want to describe it in words?
Captain Liu, who has been in high school for seven years, is incapable, even if it is Mr.
Liu, who has tasted countless delicacies, there is no way.It's just a good taste, not a good taste.Where do you usually study this aspect?
Soon, Liu Zefu made one again.If you eat spicy, you can directly make braised pork as a spicy one.Don't eat spicy?
Liu Zefu directly fished out a large bone from the soup pot, shaved some meat from it, and used it as a cheek."
Taste" Liu Zefu handed the bowl to Yang Dingtian on his own.Jin Defu next to him has begun to gobble up.Although I don't usually eat spicy food, I can't take care of it at this time.Yang Dingtian has been paying attention to Liu Zefu since he was involved.The noodles are not fermented.The soup boiling in the pot next to it was crystal clear, and there was not much oil foam.As a chef, you know what it is.In the era when there was no chicken essence and monosodium glutamate, the top chef cooked the food, and the taste depended on this thing.Stock!
Without further ado, I tasted it.As soon as the face entered, Yang Dingtian's eyes lit up
