Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 410 Drinking Noodles

Uncle Niu looked at the freshly bought vegetables and meat in his hand, and then at the crowd queuing up here, thinking that he had walked past the entrance of Honghong Hotel so many times in such a long time, and never had a queue. Team once.

Even if you come to eat, you will come in and eat directly when you don't have to wait in line.

After all, people of his age feel very unworthy of waiting in a long line for a meal, even if the restaurant is opened by an old neighbor he knows.

But today for some reason, Uncle Niu just wanted to eat a bowl of noodles, and the noodles from other restaurants were not interesting, he just wanted to eat a bowl of small noodles from Honghong Restaurant.

Thinking of this, Uncle Niu walked towards the end of the line with vegetables, and the young man he had asked just now saw Uncle Niu's behavior, and kindly reminded him: "Uncle Niu doesn't take eggs here, we are here to queue. Noodles."

But Uncle Niu raised his hands and turned his back to the young man and said, "I also eat noodles!"

Uncle Niu dances the square dance every day, and dances in the morning and evening, so his body is very strong. It is a trivial matter for him to stand in line for ten minutes, and he is not just standing, but with the one standing in front. The little girl chatted.

"Do you often come here to eat?" Uncle Niu asked.

The other party nodded: "Yes, I live and work nearby, so I come here for lunch every day, and then go back to rest for a while."

"It's good to live close." Uncle Niu expressed affirmation of the little girl's attitude towards life, "Otherwise, I would take an hour's bus or subway to go to work every day, and it would take so long to go back after get off work, wasting time on the road Yes, very tired."

"That's right, that's exactly what I thought, so after I found my current job and was sure I could continue to do it for a long time, I immediately rented a house near here." The girl said, obviously also a cheerful and outgoing girl .

But after she finished speaking, she looked at Uncle Niu curiously again: "Master, I thought that people of your age would not usually line up to eat in restaurants, but there would be more queues when shopping."

Uncle Niu is obviously very respectful of his age: "Hahaha, when I asked earlier, a handsome guy told me that he didn't receive eggs."

"Yes, yes, sir, don't be surprised. I thought you were going by the wrong way at first, and I wanted to tell you that you don't pick up eggs here, but you should also live near here, sir. Look at the one you are carrying in your hand." Is the dish going to go back to cook, why do you suddenly think of coming here to line up?"

Uncle Niu raised the dishes in his hands and took a look: "Isn't that because you are queuing up? I also cook and eat alone when I go home. It's not bad to spend the cooking time queuing up, and the taste of this restaurant is really good. I have been eating here for ten years.”

The little girl was stunned when she heard this: "Master, but hasn't this store only opened for more than half a year? And I heard that the owner here is a young man, he seems to be in his 20s..."

Uncle Niu waved his hand: "You don't know that. This restaurant was also called by this name before, but it's not as famous as it is now. The boss at that time was the father of the current boss. I used to come here often at that time. This family is very special. Well, the current Xiao Chen can be said to be the one I watched growing up.

At that time, after Xiao Chen was admitted to university, our old neighbors who often came here sent more eggs. "

What she said was that the girl's eyes were staring, she never thought that she would be able to understand these inside stories after just chatting with an old man for a while.

In this way, they walked inside while chatting.

When it was the turn of the two of them, there were three seats vacant. When Hong Hong saw Uncle Niu coming, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

Such an attitude confirmed the little girl's idea that Uncle Niu is a frequent visitor here.

"Uncle Niu, there is still a vacant seat over there. You go and sit there, and I will order for you later." Feng Honghong directed Uncle Niu to sit down in that seat, and then looked at the young man who was behind Uncle Niu. girl.

"Hello, there are two seats now, one is next to the old man just now, and the other is on the other side, whichever side you want to sit on, I will arrange it for you."

The little girl had a speculative chat with Uncle Niu just now, after thinking about it now, she decided to sit with Uncle Niu and chat again. Anyway, eating alone is boring looking at the phone.

"Auntie, I'll sit over there." The girl said, pointing to the empty seat next to Uncle Niu.

"Okay, then you go there first, I'll go back and get the menu and come over to order for you."

When the girl was walking towards Uncle Niu, Uncle Niu also looked over, and saw Uncle Niu waving to indicate that there were still vacant seats on his side.

After the girl sat down, Uncle Niu said happily again: "There are so many people in this store. When Xiao Chen's father opened the store, there were not so many people."

"Why? Is it because of the smell?" The girl's curiosity was aroused.

"No, his dad's Sichuan cuisine is quite authentic, but he's not as good at it as Xiao Chen, and he's not as flexible in his mind. If you ask me, young people nowadays are really smart. You see, I never queued up for lunch before, and today I still After queuing for such a long time, I came in just to eat a bowl of noodles."

The girl was about to say something when Feng Honghong walked over with the menu.

"Girl, order first." Uncle Niu gave way.

"It's okay, sir, come first, you are in front of me." Naturally, the little girl couldn't take advantage of Uncle Niu.

"Oh, why are you being polite to me." Uncle Niu waved his hand.

Feng Honghong saw that the two gave way for a long time. Although she didn't know how they met, she still said: "It's okay, it doesn't matter whoever orders first. Anyway, I ate a lot of noodles today, so they will be served faster."

In the end, it was the little girl who hadn't tasted the uncle Niu, so she ordered a pair of slightly spicy pork rib noodles first.

Although Uncle Niu is in good health, he is getting old after all, and his teeth are still a bit weak. Finally, he ordered a bowl of fat intestine noodles, which were also slightly spicy.

Before the girl came to Honghong Restaurant to eat noodles, she had already thought about what she wanted to eat, so she spoke in more detail. Generally speaking, when a person with a Sichuan accent goes to a local noodle restaurant to eat noodles, the clerk will basically only know Ask for a portion and toppings, as long as you don't say anything else, it will default to red oil noodles.

Of course, Chen Nian also took this situation into consideration. If a customer wants both beef noodles and non-spicy ones, Honghong Restaurant can only tell the guests that the soup can be made into a non-spicy soup base, but the amount of toppings is still the same. With a little spiciness.

And if you eat it like this, it is definitely not as delicious as the red oil soup base, but if the customers insist, they will serve it according to the customer's requirements, of course the price is the same.

After ordering the dishes, the soup base and noodles in the kitchen can be made at the same time.

However, because of the need to make noodles and stir-fry vegetables in old age, we can only stir-fry a few dishes first, and then make some quick-hand dishes while cooking the noodles.

When making Uncle Niu's pot, Chen Nian looked up, he knew the taste of Uncle Niu better, so after cooking the noodles for others, he served Uncle Niu's noodles last.

Cooked it a little longer to make the noodles slightly softer.

At the same time, when making Uncle Niu's soup base, Chen Nian also sprinkled a thin layer of salt into it, because Uncle Niu's taste is slightly heavier than other people's.

Bowls of noodles were brought out.

And Uncle Niu outside was chatting with that girl.

"Is that your badge?" Uncle Niu asked.

"Yes." The girl looked at the badge hanging on her chest and said with a smile.

Uncle Niu saw that Xiang Meili was written on the other party's badge.

I thought to myself that this name is not bad, and grow towards beauty.

It's just that he didn't say anything about the other person's name. After all, everyone just met for the first time. It's enough to chat around this store, so as not to talk about the other person's name.

Some young people nowadays value these things more, and chatting rashly will make the other party feel uncomfortable, so they stopped talking after asking.

And at this moment, the noodles they each ordered were brought up.

Looking at the rich red soup in front of him, dotted with chopped green onions.

The neatly stacked noodles are like mountain peaks, and the noodles stretch across it, and it seems to be a unique terraced landform in the south. The toppings are evenly stacked on the side of the bowl like a unique scenery.

"This looks too delicious!" Xiang Meili couldn't help swallowing.

And Uncle Niu couldn't help sighing in his heart that the lunch waiting in line really felt different, no wonder so many young people would rather wait in line for an hour or two to eat at a restaurant.

Not to mention whether the meal in that restaurant is worth waiting for an hour or two, as long as the taste is not bad, the impression score will be greatly improved under the addition of hunger.

Now Uncle Niu is hot and tired, and he wants to eat something when his stomach is empty, and his mind has been thinking about eating noodles since just now.

Seeing that Xiang Meili on the opposite side had already started turning the noodles from top to bottom, Uncle Niu picked up the chopsticks.

But experts are indeed much more skilled than those young and young ones.

When the back chef puts the noodles into the bowl, he follows the original texture, and when Mr. Niu mixes the noodles, he also stirs along the original texture, fully blending the bottom soup with the top.

As a result, after mixing, the noodles on the top were still in strands, stacked and arranged neatly.

Xiang Meili got up and took a sip of the soup, savoring his mid-term duty, but Uncle Niu didn't do that.

He directly picked up a big chopsticks noodle, watched the steaming hot air on it and blew two mouthfuls lightly, then pulled the noodle over, followed by a big mouthful of storm inhalation!

Then it's repeated over and over again.

Immediately, Xiang Meili, who was opposite him, was stunned, because it was better to say that he was drinking noodles than Uncle Niu was eating noodles.

The noodles are eaten sparingly, which constantly stimulates people's appetite and is full of flavor.

Moreover, Uncle Niu didn't do any extra movements other than eating the noodles. Whether it was super, chopped green onion, coriander, or green vegetables in the noodles, he wrapped them in the noodles with chopsticks and sent them into his stomach.

There is no need to stop for anyone, and everyone is treated equally.

Even after eating, Uncle Niu directly picked up the bowl and almost buried his head in it.

From a beautiful angle, I can't see Uncle Niu's face at all.

But at this time, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Uncle Niu eating like this.

On the contrary, I think Uncle Niu's food is delicious.

When Uncle Niu put down the bowl, only 1/3 of the soup was left.

And this bowl of soup just turned into a bowl of soup, and the chopped green onion, coriander, and toppings all disappeared.

On the other hand, Xiang Meili has only eaten five mouthfuls since just now, and there is still more than half of the noodles in the bowl.

Because she spent most of her time observing Uncle Niu just now, at first she was a little worried that Uncle Niu would be too hot to eat like this, but after observing for a while, Xiang Meili found that Uncle Niu didn't put the noodles directly into his mouth at all.

It's that the other party is too natural when blowing, pinching, blowing, eating, chewing, and swallowing, all in one go, flowing.

He even fooled his own eyes, making him think that Uncle Niu just ate it without bragging.

Uncle Niu ate noodles like this, which directly drove other people who ate noodles around.

At the beginning, everyone ate noodles with reservations.

After all, they eat out, and most of them are young people.

As a result, they heard the loud sound of Uncle Niu eating noodles, and each of them thought, what else can they do when the uncle eats noodles so vigorously?
And even though the noodles they ate so much just now felt that the taste was good, it was obvious that Uncle Niu ate more deliciously.

So the shop began to sound one after another eating noodles.

But the result of this is that 80% of the people who eat noodles like Uncle Niu are really happy during the eating process, but when they finish eating, they look down and find that their short sleeves have been splashed with a lot of soup.

So much so that when he left, the expression on his face was a little uncomfortable.

Because of the weather in Chengdu, clothes are basically changed once a day.

And their clothes today are all freshly worn, and they have retired honorably before the afternoon.

"Girl, eat slowly first, there are still people queuing up outside, so I won't occupy a seat here." Uncle Niu said and went to the front to check out.

After a while, Xiang Meili finally finished eating.

But when it was time to pay the bill, Feng Honghong said: "Beauty, Mr. Qian Niu has already invited you to meet me just now, and he told me that it was not easy to meet such a girl who was able to talk to me."

Xiang Meili was a little at a loss.

When he came to the door, Uncle Niu was nowhere to be seen, so he could only secretly think that when he saw Uncle Niu next time, he should treat him to a meal.

After all, Grandpa Ren seems to be a nice person, so how can I ask him to treat him to dinner?

On the first day the noodles were launched, the response from customers was strong.

Everyone thinks that the noodles are quite good. As for the few people who are not used to the taste, they can only ignore it when they are aged.

After all, it is impossible for a dish to please everyone in the world.

In that case, what I opened would not be a restaurant, but a brainwashing center.

Just after the noon break, Chen Nian heated up yesterday's steamed buns on the stove, while sitting outside as a snack, thinking about the improvement of this steamed bun.

First of all, I may have made a mistake in making noodles, and secondly, there may be some problems with the meat filling in the buns. Chen Nian always feels that the steamed bun meat fillings he steamed are not as rich as those made by others, although they taste full of oil , but Chen Nian always feels that it is still a little dry.

In response to this question, Chen Nian tentatively asked his mother about the whole process of making buns.

He didn't ask what to pay attention to, because then he would have to make a special trip to think about one point, and it is very likely that there will be some points that his mother thinks are the key points, but he has actually mastered them.

And what I missed before, my mother felt that it was nothing so she didn't say it,

After Feng Honghong briefly thought about it, she began to talk about making noodles and stuffing.

About five or six minutes or so.

Chen Nian found something different from himself.

When my mother is making stuffing, she needs to pour water into it and mix well.

Thinking of aging here, I immediately understand that if you add an appropriate amount of water to the meat filling, it will definitely make the meat filling more tender and juicy.

Sure enough, this thing can't be built behind closed doors. I should have asked my mother last night.

But apart from the meat stuffing, Chen Nian also learned from his mother that in addition to yeast, it is best to put some baking powder into the buns and noodles.

Adding baking powder can make the bun skin softer.

After knowing this, Chen Nian has full confidence in his next improvement.

Now the flying dragon is riding on the face, it is impossible to do it badly!
