Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 181 It is difficult to make a choice in Boss Li’s store

The most distinctive feature of bamboo noodles is their taste.

Whether it is kneading the noodles with egg liquid and alkaline water, pressing the noodles with bamboo poles, or finally refrigerating them, it is all to make the noodles more chewy and elastic.

There are also many requirements for cooking noodles.

Place the bamboo noodles in a colander and use long chopsticks in your other hand to stir them continuously.

This operation allows the noodles to be cooked quickly in boiling water.

Then the noodles need to be scooped into cold water and shocked to increase their toughness.

Finally, put the noodles back into the pot, cook them in boiling water and then take them out.

The way the noodles are seasoned is even more special.

Although the method is similar to that of stir-frying the sauce, the sauce and ingredients are stir-fried over high heat.

But the kitchen utensils are not the woks in the store.

It was the colander that was used to scoop out the noodles.

Li Rui poured the broth, lard and soy sauce onto the noodles one by one.
Then he took the chopsticks in one hand and the colander in the other and started to work.

He first mixed the sauce and noodles with chopsticks, and then threw the noodles into the air.

Li Rui controlled the force of the throw.
Let the noodles spin in the air and continue to rise.

The chopsticks continue to stir the noodles as they fall into the colander.

Repeat the operation continuously.

Until the light yellow noodles gradually turn into sauce color,

The noodles moistened by the juice shake off the excess water in full contact with the air.

The seasoning of bamboo noodles is basically complete.

Slide the noodles onto a plate and sprinkle with shrimp and chives.

Ma Jinge had already arrived in the kitchen when he heard the "da da da" sound of chopsticks colliding with the colander.

"Boss, it's really a pleasure to watch you work." She said with admiration.

Including his own portion, Li Rui made four bowls and handed them to her:
"Just have some fun."

There are noodles and eggs to make the meals for the store employees more nutritionally balanced.

The boss also blanched some vegetables in the soup.

By the time Li Rui brought the dishes to the table, Ma Jinge was already enjoying his meal.

The texture of bamboo noodles is chewy and springy.

You need to pull it to get it into your mouth.

When each thin noodle is bitten off, you can feel the two ends of the noodle breaking, shaking and hitting the teeth under the force.

This wonderful taste can only be achieved by hand-pressing noodles.

"I am so awesome!" Xiao Ma was very proud.

Li Rui nodded in agreement.

This shop assistant really made an important contribution to the production of bamboo noodles.

She's even talented.

Compared to the time-consuming production process of bamboo noodles, the seasoning can be said to be very simple.

A small spoonful of lard makes the noodles smoother.

Soy sauce adds saltiness and umami to the noodles.

The appropriate garnish of shrimp and chopped green onions enriches the aroma and taste of bamboo noodles.

"I have to take a photo to commemorate it. These are the noodles I pressed." Xiao Ma said while eating.

Then he took out his cell phone:

The noodles were not sticky or tangled, and were very refreshing. As she picked up the noodles from the bamboo basket, the chopped green onions fell onto the plate.

Majengo ate very quickly.
A bowl of noodles went into my stomach quickly.

You don't even need to clean the plate; there isn't a drop of grease or juice on the plate.

Bamboo rice noodle dough is the basis of this kind of delicacy.

It can be pressed into noodles, cooked and seasoned and served directly.

It can also be wrapped into wontons, with a spoonful of soup and a ball of noodles to make a bowl of delicious wonton noodles.

You can also pair bamboo noodles with roast duck to make roast duck noodles.

The biggest feeling Li Rui got from making noodles these past two days was,

The most important thing about pasta is not how many variations are added to the ingredients, but the noodles and the soup.

Soup is the basis of cooking noodles.

The quality of noodles can be tasted in one bite.

The essence of noodles lies in the noodles.

Not long after,

As agreed between the shop and its customers, the time for selling bamboo noodles has come.

Qin Lili and Chen Fei sneaked out of their jobs and ranked first two.

After arriving at the store, they first looked at the new menu on the small sign.

"Bamboo noodles, 15 per bowl."

"Wonton noodles, large bowl 20, small bowl 15." "We also have wonton noodles."

The two asked, "Boss, are the noodles in wonton noodles also bamboo noodles?"

Li Rui nodded and showed the noodles casually:
"Yes, the wontons that were pressed today were also breaded in the same way."

"Then we'll have two bowls of wonton noodles."

"Okay, wait a moment."

The wonton noodles in the store come in large and small portions.

The large portion can be used as a staple food, and one bowl can make people very satisfied.

The small portions are closer to tradition, and for these two ladies, it feels more like a late afternoon tea.

When the shop officially opens, the aroma of fried sauce, the spiciness of flat noodles, and the freshness of the bighead carp broth are mixed together.

The closer you get to the kitchen, the harder it is to tell.

Only when the waiter brings out two servings of wonton noodles, gradually moving them away from the kitchen and closer to the diners' tables, will you be amazed by it alone.

“This smell, oh~”

"You're drooling, haha."

However, after getting the wonton noodles, Qin Lili became a little curious.

"Where are the wontons?"

Chen Fei stretched out her chopsticks and picked up food from her best friend's bowl.

"Hey, eat your own."

Chen Fei glanced at her and slowly lifted up the light yellow noodles that were half exposed to the soup.

"I'm going to tell you where wonton is."

"oh oh."

It turns out that the wontons are buried under the bamboo noodles.

A small misunderstanding will not hinder the close relationship between two best friends.

They quickly got down to business.

Chen Fei is more elegant than her best friend Qin Lili who wolfs down the food. Apparently, she has her own unique way of eating wonton noodles.

She first took a sip of the soup with a spoon.

There is no MSG or chicken essence added. The soup simply uses the freshness of the ingredients such as bighead carp, pork bones and shrimps, making the soup taste smoother.

This delicious taste is refreshing.

Then Chen Fei took out another wonton and put it into her mouth along with the shallow soup.

The wontons made from bamboo shoots have a very smooth and chewy skin.

The boss’s skill in wrapping wontons is still on point, without any lumps of dough.

The large shrimps are delicious, and the precise cooking time makes the shrimps a bit crispy, which goes well with the texture of the skin.

Finally, pick up a ball of noodles with chopsticks and chew them carefully.

Half exposed to the air, the bamboo noodles still retain a fairly chewy texture.

After sucking up the soup, it is even more delicious.

"Ah, there are only four wontons." Qin Lili on the opposite side had already eaten all the wontons and most of the noodles.

Her tone revealed that she was a little unsatisfied.

But for their appetite, a small bowl is perfect.

However, the ever-increasing variety of delicious food in the shop often makes them feel conflicted.

The shop's brisk business continues.

However, the clerk Xiao Ma had mixed feelings.

But all her thoughts were written on her face and were not difficult to guess.

"Boss, the customer just now praised the noodles." [Proud]

"Boss, why did you sell so many bamboo noodles today? How many noodles did you use? I don't think I need to continue pressing tomorrow." [Sad]

The shop closed in the evening.

Li Rui showed enough trust in his employee and let her participate in the cleaning and tidying up of the kitchen.

But with the help of smart devices, it is not complicated.

Before leaving the store, Xiao Ma looked at the refrigerator in the store for a while.

She swept her finger across the display screen on the side panel of the refrigerator, took a quick look at the detailed record of the stored ingredients, and then said:
"Boss, I think your refrigerator has its own ideas."

"Your own thoughts?" Li Rui frowned.

I don't know what the clerk is talking about.

Majingo briefly described what happened at noon:
"I was pressing noodles at noon when I accidentally knocked the bamboo pole into the refrigerator."

"Here in the refrigerator," Xiao Ma pointed to the display screen, "Here, it shows the expression of [pain]."

Li Rui said calmly:

“It’s just an average smart assistant.”

"But next time you bump into it, you have to rub it."
