Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 175: You can’t get fat in one bite, a short story about the authentic characteristics of Ban Mian

The waiters came up and down,
Running back and forth between the kitchen and the dining table,

Not long after, two bowls of beef noodles were brought to Fatty Sun and the other man.

Fatty Sun said to Da Zhuang:

"Let's get started. We've been training for the whole morning. We need to reward ourselves."

After saying that, he started eating.

Compared to the deluxe version of Sun Pangzi with meat and eggs,

Considering Shi Dazhuang's physique, the small portion of extra food seemed a bit shabby.

But the bright red pepper, soup, rich aroma, and plenty of beef,
Tempting enough too.

Brother Sun invited me to dinner, so I have to give him face.

It's definitely not because I can't control myself.

The red fat on the top of the soup hung on the surface of the noodles as Dazhuang picked up the noodles with chopsticks.

"Tulu~"

Noodles entrance.

Rolling, stretching, and kneading repeatedly by hand make the noodles chewy and smooth.

The juice from the soup also gives the noodles enough flavor.

It is hard to resist the desire for carbohydrates. One bite after another, it is really satisfying.

While eating the noodles, Shi Dazhuang picked up two pieces of beef and put them into his mouth.

The beef is soft and tender, and you can taste the juice in the beef fibers when you bite it. It has a mellow meaty aroma and a light aftertaste of spices.

This tastes so good!
Brother Sun invited me to dinner, and it might be impolite if I didn’t eat it all.

Shi Dazhuang picked up the bowl and took another sip of the soup.

The soup was full of flavor, and Shi Dazhuang had already tasted it when he was eating the noodles.

The complex aroma of more than 20 kinds of seasonings has been permeated into the base after a long period of boiling, forming the rich base flavor of beef noodles.

It’s salty, fragrant and slightly spicy, making you want to stop eating it.

Even the chili peppers were not spared. The frying process gave the peppers a slightly hard shell. After biting them open, the spiciness inside is stronger than the soup.

It is fragrant and spicy, which stimulates both the mouth and intestines.

Seeing Da Zhuang eating happily across the table, Fatty Sun said to him, "Isn't the food in this restaurant good?"

Da Zhuang: "It's delicious. It tastes really good."

"Look how deliciously you're eating. I told you that a small bowl wouldn't be enough. Give me another bowl, Da Zhuang!"

No reply.

Fatty Sun noticed that Shi Dazhuang looked a little strange.
So delicious that you want to cry?
Like this guy's style.

However, Shi Dazhuang nodded and gave an answer: "I indulged myself too much, Brother Sun. Two bowls of beef noodles are too sinful."

After listening to Da Zhuang's words, Fatty Sun realized what was really going on.

Knowledge of fitness,

He remembered the most crucial point.

So he comforted him and said:

"It's okay, brother. It's just an indulgence meal. Eat more. You can't become fat in one bite."

"Well, I'll go down and tell the boss to order another bowl of noodles." Da Zhuang answered in a muffled voice.
When I stood up and walked downstairs, a breeze blew up.

But this seemingly honest face,

There are also some evil thoughts in my heart.

"I can't be the only one who indulges myself. There are so many people in the gym. I have to let them understand too."

Fatty Sun and Shi Dazhuang,
Because Fatty Sun couldn't stand being hungry, he came very early.

At that time, most of the customers in the store had seats waiting.

But when Shi Dazhuang went downstairs again to order more noodles, there was already a long line downstairs.

Someone saw him coming down.

He immediately said to his companions:
"Someone has finished eating, so I'm going to find a seat upstairs."

Shi Dazhuang reminded:

"I'm here for some extra noodles."

Then he asked the kitchen, "Boss, we don't have to wait in line for more noodles, right?"

Li Rui nodded at him and said with a smile:
"Noodles come first, you must eat enough, but don't waste it." But after seeing Shi Dazhuang's physique, I felt that his appetite must be quite large, so the words "don't waste it" were a bit redundant.

The noodles are handmade.

Before opening for business, you need to knead the dough and let it rise.

After kneading it into long strips, use a huanghuali rolling pin to roll it into thick dough sheets and divide it into small pieces.

When you need it,
Then flatten the dough.
Sprinkle dry flour in the middle of the small dough pieces, stretch them into long strips, and put them into the pan.

The sturdy customer did not take the bowl, so Li Rui took another small bowl and scooped the noodles into it.
"Add noodles for two yuan." Then he added a little bit of the flat noodle soup base.

"thank you boss."

Business continues.

There was a long line in the store, and more customers were on their way.

Because of the message posted on the video account, many fans and friends came to support Boss Li’s business.

"Boss, I almost thought you really hired someone else to do the job."

Li Rui replied: "No, it's just a small misunderstanding."

There has been some strange bidding behavior in the comments section these days. Anyway, bragging online doesn't cost money.
"I have oil at home. Boss Li, please come to my mine and cook."

This is the most exaggerated one among them.

But since they came as fans, of course they also got to eat the delicious food that Li Rui had made before.

Especially the braised pork a while ago, which made Li Rui gain a lot of fans.

So it is inevitable that customers will ask:

"Boss, when can we eat braised pork again?"

Li Rui replied: "There will be opportunities. We have been opening a shop here for a long time."

The customer was very happy after hearing:

"That's great. I want to have pancakes in the morning, stir-fried vegetables at noon, braised meat at night, and barbecue for supper."

"Under normal circumstances, boss, do you still make snow-covered bean paste?"

"By the way, fried chicken. I've never eaten fried chicken before."

The boss has made many delicious dishes.
Customers also have a lot of ideas.

Li Rui: "Your beef noodles are ready."

At this time, it was the turn of a young couple in the team.

Although they didn't know what "Boss Li's Shop" sold specifically, they found the words "Sir, please come in" quite interesting.

The key is that there are still people queuing inside.

Driven by curiosity, they followed and joined the queue.

The woman's curiosity was obvious:
"Boss, what's the difference between a large portion and a small portion?"

Li Rui replied:
“The large portion has more beef and noodles.”

So the large portion is 20 per bowl and the small portion is 16 per bowl.

"Is the chili here spicy?" the woman asked, pointing at the pot of base material.

“It’s not spicy, it’s spicy.”

"Then we want a large and a small one, with more chili."

"Okay, wait a minute, take the small sign."

There happened to be an empty seat on the first floor at that moment, but after the woman handed the small sign to her boyfriend, she did not rush to sit down.

Instead, I curiously asked about the name of the beef noodles.

"Boss, why are there two provinces on this board? And isn't this Jianghai City?"

Authentic beef noodles,

This can also be considered a little story about food.

Li Rui stretched the noodles and gave a brief explanation:
At the beginning, ban mian was considered a delicacy in Anhui.

Later it was developed and promoted in Hexian, becoming a local specialty, and people there often claim to be authentic.

In short, it is very distinctive.

Something similar might be California beef ramen.

That’s what good food is like.

There are many more, waiting for Li Rui to explore slowly.
