Chapter 127 Get up early and eat beef noodles

The next morning, because he was too happy the night before, Ma Xiaoliang was afraid that he would not be able to get up in the morning, so he set the alarm clock at 7 o'clock before going to bed. However, when he opened his eyes at 7:[-], the alarm clock rang but did not wake him up!Zhao Cui was sleeping soundly, and Ma Xiaoliang patted him. Zhao Cui ignored him, patted him again, and kicked him, almost knocking Ma Xiaoliang down: "What are you going to do! If you are restless in the middle of the night, you won't be restless in the morning!"

Ma Xiaoliang whispered: "Baby, get up and go eat beef noodles. They are available in the morning!" When Zhao Cui heard this, he became furious: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat. Beef noodles are not available anywhere, and they are only available in the morning. You are fooling me." Come on, besides, the hotel obviously has breakfast, so you’re a fool! If you want to eat it yourself, it’s all your fault for having so much fun last night that you made me sleepy!”

After that, Zhao Cui hugged Ma Xiaoliang and pushed him down on the bed. He rested his head on Ma Xiaoliang's arm and continued to sleep!Ma Xiaoliang didn't dare to speak any more, and was also dazed for a while! At 8 o'clock, Zhao Cui's cell phone alarm clock rang. This was her wake-up time for many years!Zhao Cui patted Ma Xiaoliang and said, "Good husband, wake up. My little baby is hungry!" At this moment, Ma Xiaoliang didn't think about it. It was so nice to catch up on some sleep!As a result, Zhao Cui saw that Ma Xiaoliang didn't remember him. Remembering that he called her just now, he simply lifted the quilt and punched Ma Xiaoliang with all his strength. Ma Xiaoliang woke up in pain!Zhao Cui saw that Ma Xiaoliang had woken up and looked at him angrily. He hugged her and kissed her: "Good husband, I'm hungry!" Ma Xiaoliang looked at the time and saw that breakfast was served from 7 to 9 o'clock. It was almost there, so he got up and washed up. , Zhao Cui washed up briefly, changed into her nightgown, and then took Ma Xiaoliang out. Anyway, the hotel provides breakfast, so if you don’t eat it, you won’t get it!

The breakfast restaurant of the hotel is located on the 8th floor. Zhao Cui and Ma Xiaoliang lived on the 10th floor, so they planned to go down on foot. When they passed by the stairs, they heard an indescribable sound nearby. Zhao Cui felt itchy and pinched Ma Xiaoliang, which made Ma Xiaoliang's legs weak. , I still have to go out to play today, but I can’t mess with it any more!After arriving at the breakfast department, after checking the room card, Ma Xiaoliang pulled Zhao Cui in. It turned out that this was a restaurant similar to a buffet. In addition to soy milk, milk, bread, and various side dishes and snacks, there was actually beef noodles. Ma Xiaoliang was particularly surprised. Zhao Cui I have never been in the habit of eating noodles in the morning, but in Lanzhou, beef noodles are really popular with the locals. They almost eat beef noodles for breakfast. There are many people queuing up in the morning, waiting for beef noodles!

It is said that Lanzhou beef noodles first began during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty. Ma Liuqi from the Dongxiang tribe in Gansu learned the craftsmanship of making beef noodle soup from Chen Weijing in Suzhai Village, Huaiqing Prefecture, Henan and brought it to Lanzhou. After many generations of continuous transformation, it became It became the current beef noodles, especially in the form of "one clear, two white, three green, four red and five yellow".In Lanzhou, ordering a bowl of noodles can reveal a person’s temperament. For example, people may be fussy about things:
Customer: "Boss, I'll order a small bowl, with more pepper and more meat, more garlic sprouts and more noodles!" The boss angrily said, "Brother, you don't want a big bowl!"

In addition, there is one thing in particular: Never mention Lanzhou ramen in front of Lanzhou people. There is no ramen in Lanzhou, only beef noodles!In addition, there are many types of beef noodles, from thin to wide: capillary, thin, three-thin, two-thin, two-pillar, buckwheat rib, leek leaf, thin and wide, large wide!For beef noodles, the most important thing is not the beef or the noodles, but the soup.It is said that in the early years, when diners entered a noodle shop, the store would serve a small bowl of soup for them to try. If they thought it was good, they would continue to ask for noodles. If they thought it was not good, they would leave immediately. The store owner would not dare to say a word!Generally speaking, when making Lanzhou beef noodle soup, the fattest beef or top-grade yellow beef is selected, beef spinal cord and leg bones are added, and herbs, pepper, dried ginger, cinnamon, fennel, etc. are added in proportion. Adding a certain proportion of water, the entire cooking process may take four or five hours!

Nowadays, people in Lanzhou still pay attention to drinking the soup when eating beef noodles. The best time is seven or eight in the morning, because it is cooked just right. Ma Xiaoliang wanted to eat a portion and planned to give Zhao Cui one as well. Unexpectedly, Zhao Cui said Have one!
