The leisurely life of rebirth.

Chinese people have eaten noodles for more than 4000 years, and the history of China for more than 4000 years is like long noodles, flowing down with gusto.As a product of culture, noodles also have their own "bones"—it pays attention to the texture of the body and the connotation of taste. It is also constantly attacking the city and expanding its territory, from north to south, From the inside to the outside, from the food in the Yellow River Basin to the important elements in the world food culture.

Scallion noodles are a special product in the north. They are cooked noodles served with chopped green onion and sesame oil.

But it is the Shanghai-style noodles that are famous. Among all the Shanghai-style noodles, the simplest ones are Yangchun noodles and scallion noodles.Perhaps it is because of the simple reason that there are not many people who can really do these two aspects well.

"Just making such simple noodles, is it appropriate to entertain Mr. Tang?"Xu Cheng looked at Fang Monan who was busy in front of the stove. "Is there any lack of sincerity!"

Fang Monan smiled softly, "You want to say that we are a country of etiquette, and we must spare no effort to entertain Mr. Tang, so that Mr. Tang feels at home!" She then laughed, "For a rich man like Mr. Tang, flying in the sky, water Those who swim in the water and those who run on the ground have never seen or eaten anything."

"This is also...but noodles with scallion oil." Xu Cheng shook his head, "No way! No way!"

"I guarantee that Mr. Tang will love it." Fang Monan promised.

Xu Cheng wanted to say something more, but a phone call happened to happen, and he left in a hurry after answering the phone.

As soon as he left, Lin Jiaxiang sneered, "Slap your face swollen to look fat, stand on tiptoes to be tall. Really, if you hate us, we won't send a table full of Chinese people over." [

"Don't say that Chinese people are vain. The main meaning is modesty. This is a way of hospitality that has been practiced for thousands of years. I am afraid that it will be inappropriate to take care of guests. It reflects the culture of Chinese people who value loyalty and affection." Grandma Lin said with a smile .

"When friends come, they have good wine, and when wolves come, they have shotguns." Liang Zi said with murderous intent.

"Is Liang Zi deeply touched?".Fang Monan raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Liang Zi smiled without saying a word, but he had a deep understanding.

Fang Monan laughed and shook his head, "Restraining oneself and treating others is one of the aspects. You may not understand this very much. Like Brother Lin, you don't need to present the best things when you treat guests, because it is restraint."

"In the final analysis, it is the surprise of Eastern and Western cultures." Lin Jiaxiang thought.

Fang Monan went on to laugh, "If I treat you to African dried abalone at a price of 50 US dollars per catty, you will have to pay 25 US dollars yourself..."

"Pfft... This is no hospitality. It's clearly a scam." Lin Jiajia laughed. "That's right! This is the best way to deceive people." She turned around with her big bright eyes.

Since it is noodles with scallion oil.Then kneading the dough is the key. The dough has to be kneaded repeatedly. Watching Fang Monan knead the dough open and close is really like fighting on the battlefield.Murderous.The falling dough thumped.

Everyone was dumbfounded. "Tsk tsk... With so much strength, I can't do it with my thin arms and legs." Lin Jiajia shook her head.A respectful and insensitive look.

Knead the dough and set aside to rest.

"I'll roll the noodles." Grandma said when she saw the noodles, she almost woke up.

"Then I'll make scallion oil." Fang Monan said, and boiled the cold water by the way, and served the noodles in a while.

In addition to noodles, scallion oil is the most important part.Ordinary noodles are boiled with dried shallots and lard, and several kinds of shallots are used in the finer shallot oil: dried shallots, onions, Beijing shallots, shallots, plus shallots, sauce and brown sugar Boil it, and then boil it with cloves and chicken oil to dry up. The boiled scallion oil is red and yellow in the inside, fresh and fragrant in the inside, and the natural taste is more intense.

Of course, some lazy restaurants pour the sauce of braised pork ribs on the noodles, and then sprinkle some fried scallions to make "scallion noodles". No matter in terms of aroma or taste, they are far from the authentic ones. . [

"It smells so good!" Lin Jiajia sniffed her nose.

"It's really fragrant! I can smell it from afar." Tang Bonian walked in with his hands behind his back.

"It just so happens that the water is boiling! Get down immediately, and you can eat." Grandma continued to cut the noodles without raising her head.

"This knife skill is really amazing." Tang Bonian praised the noodles, which were almost the same in thickness and length.

"Practice makes perfect. When I was not as tall as the chopping board, I started rolling noodles standing on a small stool. I have been doing this for more than 50 years. Now I can cut them well with my eyes closed!" Grandma said with a smile.As he spoke, he picked up the cut noodles, and the roots were smooth.

Pour the cooked scallion oil into a bowl, cook the noodles, remove and drain, put into the soup, mix well, sprinkle with chopped green onion and serve.

"It's really a small handful of noodles, a handful of scallions, boiled scallion oil poured on it, it sizzles, and the aroma is overflowing." Tang Bonian said emotionally.

"Hey! One thing is missing." Tang Bonian raised his eyes and said.

"It's ready, Kaiyang!" Fang Monan took out a plate of things. "Scallion oil noodles will be put some Kaiyang at the end to enhance the flavor, and it can also make the whole bowl of noodles look richer, so the full name of the scallion oil noodles is 'Scallion Oil Kaiyang noodles'."

"Oh! So it's Haimi!" Lin Jiajia laughed, "Why are you called Kaiyang!"

"Kaiyang is pickled and sun-dried small shrimps. It is golden in color and tastes fresh and salty. It is also known as 'Golden Hook' and 'Sea Rice'. It is a good product for seasoning and adding freshness. As for the origin of the name 'Kaiyang', we have It’s hard to find. In Jiangsu, Zhejiang and southern Fujian, going out to sea was called “opening the ocean” in ancient times, which may be related. There are also some sayings that after the fishing moratorium ended in ancient times, fishermen had the custom of eating this food before going out to sea.”

"Doctor Fang knows a lot!" Tang Bonian raised his eyes and asked with a smile.

"Mr. Tang, have you tasted it enough?" Fang Monan smiled and gestured please.

Tang Bonian mixed the noodles with chopsticks, picked them up, sucked them into his mouth, and chewed slowly. He raised his eyes and gave a thumbs up, "Doctor Fang, it's very authentic. I haven't eaten such authentic noodles with scallion oil for many years." .”

Tang Bonian sniffed, "The noodles are tough and slippery, quite chewy, which is most suitable for hot mixing. In the past, the noodles were cut by hand, and the strength of kneading and pressing was not strong, and the cut noodles were relatively wide. Although Now that it is made by machine, the taste of the sliced ​​noodles has been improved a lot, and the noodles can be made thinner, but the original taste is missing.”

"How do you know that my ancestral home is Jiangsu and Zhejiang?" Tang Bonian asked curiously.

"The local accent changes and the temple hair declines." Fang Monan used a famous line from He Zhizhang in the Tang Dynasty.

"Young children leave home and the elders come back. The local accent changes and the hair on the temples fades. When children meet each other and don't know each other, they laugh and ask where the guests come from." Tang Bonian chanted, life is easy to grow old, and the world is vicissitudes, and his heart is full of emotion.

For a while, the room was quiet, only the sound of grandma cutting noodles, one knife at a time, cutting to the heart, with deep sadness.For a long time.

"Grandpa. I'm hungry." Tang Yuning ran in, her face flushed from the exercise.

"Is there anything to eat?" Niu Niu ran in with Mao Tou.

"Okay, okay." Grandma brought up the prepared noodles.

"Come on, Niuniu and Maotou are salty. Yuningdi is sweet." Grandma put three bowls of noodles in front of the three little guys.

"Mine. And me!" Little Dudu said not to be outdone.

"You are indispensable." Grandma pinched his little nose and said.

"Thank you!" The four little guys shouted in unison.

"Hey, hurry up and eat!" Grandma said with a smile, looking at the innocent smiling faces of the children, she was in a great mood.

"Dudu. Do you need to feed me?" Qiu Hongye asked.

"No! No!" Little Dudu shook his head and said, "Eat by yourself!" Pulling and eating with chopsticks.

"Okay! Our scallion noodles are ready too." Fang Monan laughed.

As a result, the sound of sucking and sucking noodles kept coming and going in the restaurant.

"When you're hungry, you can have a bowl of fragrant noodles with shredded pork and scallion oil to satisfy your hunger. No matter how many side dishes there are, you won't take a second look! It tastes good." Tang Bonian said with a smile.

"Secretary Xu, it's just in time. The scallion noodles are very authentic and delicious!" Tang Bonian said when he saw Xu Cheng standing at the door.

Xu Chengcheng walked in tremblingly. He was very afraid that he would not greet the guests properly and neglected the distinguished guest. He did not expect that he was enjoying his meal, and his restless heart finally let go.

"Doctor Fang, another bowl." Tang Bonian said.

"Okay!" Fang Monan looked at Xu Cheng and asked with a smile, "Secretary Xu, would you like a bowl too?"

"No, I've already eaten." Xu Cheng declined politely.

"Why are you being polite to us?" Grandma laughed.

"Then Aunt Mo, I won't be polite." Xu Cheng smiled and sat down.

"You are very familiar." Tang Bonian asked curiously. He is very familiar with the mainland system, and it is difficult for ordinary families to get involved with the local parent officials.

Grandma briefly introduced her relationship with Xu Cheng.

"So that's the case!" Tang Bonian nodded.

Grandma took Fang Monan's hand and patted it emotionally. Although the noodles made with scallion oil were much more expensive, they were also much more delicious.Grandma was so moved by this kindness.

Fang Monan looked at her grandma and smiled, and shook her hand back, "I'm touched!" She winked playfully and smiled. "In the future, if we have the opportunity, we will make soba noodles, udon noodles, dandan noodles, ramen noodles, simmered noodles, beef noodles, etc. After the Chinese noodles are finished, we will make Malay fried noodles, Southeast Asian home style, and, and Singapore laksa, a rich Nyonya dish. Pasta, a legend of the East, the transformation of an angel.”

"Sister doctor, stop talking, you want to kill us!" Tang Yuning sucked her saliva. "I want a bowl of noodles."

"Ha ha……"

"Little greedy cat, you love to eat, go back and let Xiaojie make it for you." Tang Bonian said with a smile, not to mention how happy he was, since being able to eat means that he is well.

"So there are so many kinds of noodles!" Liang Zi said.

"Noodles are the oldest food. In ancient times, the hygienic conditions of food were poor. Compared with other foods, boiled noodles are the cleanest and can greatly reduce the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases. Therefore, noodles have become one of our most common foods. Because of the production Different noodles and seasonings, thousands of noodle varieties have appeared in various places, spreading all over the place." Mr. Lin laughed, "I really want to make a complete collection of noodles, oh! Then there is something to do!"

"You guys really have a thorough study of food." Tang Bonian said as he put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"We! We study how to eat when we have free time." Mr. Lin laughed. (to be continued...)
