Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 180: Bamboo noodles are of course not complete without wonton soup, which is what diners look forward to

The boss brought a small bench.

The shop assistant Ma Jinge also started moving around in the kitchen, up and down, left and right, "hey hey hey".

The dough needs to be pressed.
It will take at least a few hours.

Bamboo noodles may not be served until dinner time.

While the clerk was busy, Li Rui was not idle either.

Beef flat noodles are the signature dish of the small shop. Although the beef and chili sauce has been prepared in advance, the noodles still need to be mixed and kneaded and pulled into dough sheets in advance.

The same goes for noodles with soybean paste.

Therefore, even if fans have various demands for Boss Li’s food, they cannot be satisfied one by one within one day.

But since he made bamboo noodles today, Li Rui was thinking of adding some wontons/wontons in it.

Make a bowl of wonton noodles.

Of course, you can’t use ordinary wontons to make wonton noodles.

The dough is made of the same material as bamboo noodles. Because the dough is tougher, the wonton skin can be thinner and more transparent.

The filling is not the fresh meat wontons commonly made at wonton stalls.

Instead, a 1:1 ratio of meat and shrimp was used.

This is what cooking is like, you can’t miss any detail.

At least for Li Rui,

Once you start making something, it's easy to get carried away.

Since wonton noodles consist of noodles and wontons, you can’t just use any broth.

The bone soup in the store is really good.

But for wonton noodles, it’s not flavorful enough.

So when the waiter just entered the store, the pot of delicious soup was prepared for bamboo noodles and wonton noodles.

The essential ingredient for this soup is dried flounder (a type of flatfish).
The earth looks ordinary, as can be seen from the way it has been dried out.

Moreover, the meat is rough and tastes average if eaten directly.

But it is very effective as a seasoning.

The Chinese people's wisdom over thousands of years has been to not miss out on any usable food.

In addition to dried fish, this soup also contains pork bones, dried shrimps, and dried shrimps that are difficult to see clearly after being put into the pot.

The preparation method is basically similar to that of stock.

Wash and blanch the ingredients, roast the dried fish in advance, skim off the foam from time to time, and most importantly -

Cook over low heat and simmer slowly.

Xiao Ma arrived at the store around ten o'clock, and she continued to press the bamboo noodles.

Wait until eleven o'clock when the shop is ready to officially open.

Majingo jumped down from the bamboo pole.

she asked:
"Boss, do I still serve dishes today?"

"I think you need to eat something." Li Rui said.

In Li Rui's shop, there is an important rule for employees, which is to eat before working.

But Xiao Ma said that it is not suitable to do strenuous exercise after a full meal, and she also does not like to do things halfway.

Li Rui could only concentrate on her work.

Let the diners take the noodles away and take back the bowl.

Xiao Ma made an OK gesture to show that he was very capable.

Li Rui went over to check her work progress.

After the dough is rolled out to be thin, it takes some time to stack it up again and continue rolling it.

Soon, customers began to come into the store.

The shop's kitchen is not hidden in a corner. Customers can get a general idea of ​​what's going on inside the kitchen as soon as they enter the shop.

Of course, people also noticed the long bamboo poles in the store.

And the shop assistant bouncing up and down on the bamboo pole.

"Boss, what are you doing?" a customer asked.

"We have bamboo noodles today, but it will take some time."

This customer came to eat beef noodles, and although he was curious about the girl's actions, he did not change his mind.

"I'd like a small portion of flat noodles with egg and sausage, and a drink." "Okay, wait a moment, you'll have to take the noodles away yourself today."

"No trouble."

For the food he encountered during a period of time, this customer's habit is to:

Keep eating until you get sick of it.

So he has come to the shop to eat ban mian for three consecutive days.

Salty, slightly spicy taste, hot noodles.

In this season, eating this will make you feel warm but not sweaty, everything is just right.

But sometimes you just need a small drink to relieve the pain.

However, some customers showed great interest after seeing the handmade bamboo noodles.

The two working women, Qin Lili and Liu Fei, who had chased him all the way from Fangda Plaza to Jianghai Avenue.

Their workplace is near Fonda Plaza.

Now that Boss Li is doing business here, of course I have to come and taste his food.

"Lili, look, I didn't expect that Jianghai also has handmade bamboo noodles." Liu Fei was very surprised.

"Wow, that's true."

"The noodles made in this way must be delicious. You must try it."

It's their turn to order.

"Boss, we want two servings of bamboo noodles?"

There was a questioning tone in his voice, as no dishes had been added to the sign yet.

Li Rui: "Sorry, the noodles haven't been pressed out yet."

"About what time would be good? Can we have it at noon?" the two asked again.

Li Rui looked at Xiao Ma who was busy in the kitchen. After the dough was pressed, it needed to be processed into noodles and put in the refrigerator for at least two hours.

"It's almost four o'clock in the afternoon."

"Oh, then let's come back in the afternoon." Liu Fei and Qin Lili discussed.

Qin Lili: "I think it's okay, it smells good."

While she was answering her friend's suggestion, her eyes involuntarily looked around.

The handmade bamboo noodles are not to be missed.

But in the restaurant, watching the diners around me eating heartily,
It also made them very hungry.

"Let's have a bowl of noodles with soybean paste to eat first, and then sneak out in the afternoon."

"I'll listen to you, but I have to leave some room."

So the two made the final decision:
"Boss, can you help us divide one bowl of noodles into two bowls? Also, can we come back in the afternoon to try the bamboo noodles?"

"No problem." Li Rui nodded.

Then he reminded them: "Don't come too early."

The busy midday period is over.
Xiao Ma has almost finished pressing the dough.

The dough was pressed into a dough cake with a certain thickness, and the light yellow and springy bamboo noodles took shape.

Fold it in half in the middle to make the dough firm.

Now you need to put the dough into the noodle press and cut it into noodles.

After several hours of hard work, the pony will not ask the question "Since there is a machine press, why do we still need to use bamboo poles?"

She stretched her legs and feet.
"Boss, you should also cut the noodles by hand."

Then he sat down at the dining table with disdain.

Li Rui smiled slightly. The difference between machine-cut noodles and hand-cut noodles was not as obvious as the role of the bamboo pole.

After the noodles are cut and refrigerated, they become more chewy.

Two hours later, Li Rui took out the noodles.

He remembered his promise to his employees.
So he said to Majingo, "I'm going to cook noodles. The first bowl is yours."

Xiao Ma pointed with his finger but didn't answer.

Li Rui: “OK”

Ma Jinge raised his head: "Boss, I mean, three bowls."
