Food feast

Chapter 18 Hot Dry Noodles

College life started so plainly with a few people eating, drinking and having fun.

But at this moment, the first problem facing Zhi Xiao is...

The food in the cafeteria is too fucking unpalatable.

A few days ago, Zhi Xiao didn't feel bad.

In the morning, soup dumplings, dumplings, wontons, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, pickles, and porridge are optional. Although the method is monotonous, the original flavor of the ingredients is preserved.Although he no longer had breakfast in the cafeteria, he hadn't eaten all of the above for a long time.

But at noon, there are fish-flavored eggplant, braised potatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, green vegetables with mashed garlic, and home-cooked fried pork... Although the cooking is so-so and the taste is strong, you can try it.

At night, there are also braised pork, braised pork ribs, braised lion head, braised... All kinds of food with thick oil and brown sauce are exciting, salty, sweet and delicious.

More importantly, what kind of trouble is this soup going to do?

Every day is either seaweed egg drop soup, tomato egg drop soup, or winter melon egg drop soup.

How can this be tolerated!

Besides, the two meals at noon and night are heavy oil and salt, making people want to drink water all the time, and then... a tragedy.

What's more, the smell of all kinds of food in the cafeteria is mixed together, that taste is really... making people lose their desire to eat.

Zhi Xiao was a little desperate for his life after eating in the cafeteria for half a month.

Suddenly I understand why there are so many food stalls outside the campus.Now I really want to eat the claypot rice made by my father... I really want to eat it, I really want to eat it...

Xu Xiyang and the others were talking and laughing happily while eating meat and drinking soup happily, when they suddenly felt a little cold around them.

The baby-faced boy next to them was poking at the food with his chopsticks bitterly.

"A Xiao, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little disappointed with the cafeteria." Zhi Xiao replied with blank eyes.

"Oh..." Xu Xiyang, who knew a little about Zhi Xiao's diet, understood.This is because the food is not to his liking, "Why don't we go out to eat tonight?"

"No, I'm just not used to it for a while." Zhi Xiao shook his head, he can't always let other people follow him to the restaurant outside.

"Hurry up and eat, the food will be cold after the meal." After finishing speaking, he finished the rest of the food in two ups and downs.

"I'm going to the library to write my thesis. Which of you is going?"

"No, go on your own. I don't have any papers to write." The three of them shook their heads one after another, for fear that they would be forced to make a fool of themselves.

As far as Xiao studied in the Department of History, they were not blessed to enjoy the big books with thick bricks.According to Zhi Xiao, he chose history because history is closely related to food.

Well, foodies are so willful.

Moreover, their dormitory is a mixed dormitory, and everyone's major is different.

Just like Xu Xiyang, a handsome and sunny guy went to the law department specializing in scheming.And Lin Yuning, a handsome and elegant young man, is a top student in the Department of Computer Science.But fortunately, there is one who matches his major and personality, and that is Xiang Ning Bin. He chose the foreign language department, and the fox temperament matches the foreign language.

That night, Zhi Xiao once again collected delicacies near the campus on a large scale on the campus network.

Fortunately, there are many kinds of snacks outside Yanda, and there are always some special dishes that are commendable.There is a place to solve the lunch this afternoon.

Zhi Xiao rubbed his stomach, and sighed in his heart: These days are hard for you, wait, you will be able to eat delicious food soon.

Early the next morning, Zhi Xiao left the school gate and headed straight for the hot dry noodles.He was greedy by this little thing last night.

Hot and dry noodles is a special delicacy in Wuhan. It was once rated as the first of the five famous noodles in China. Its delicacy is really wonderful.

Hot and dry noodles are the first choice of Wuhan people for premature (Wuhan dialect, which means breakfast). The recipe is convenient and quick, the aroma is rich, the taste is delicious and refreshing, and it is extremely attractive.

In the river city of Wuhan, there is such a premature song:

Laotongcheng’s Doupi Sijimei’s Soup Bao Cai Linji’s Hot Dry Noodles

Tan Yan Kee’s Dumplings Wufangzhai’s Rice Balls, Noodles, Fried Cakes, Soy Milk and Fried Tiao

No matter whether he has money or not, fill his stomach first in the morning

It doesn't matter if you drive a Mercedes or a Bluebird

Squatting down, standing upside down, sitting upside down, some still shouting for packing

What company (what) status, grade and status are all overwhelmed by me here (put away)

The most delicious hot and dry noodles can only be tasted in various small shops in Jiangcheng, and each has its own unique flavor.

No matter what your status is, you can't resist this delicacy in the premature shop in the small alley.

People in Wuhan are relatively straightforward and quick-tempered, and they are not polite at all. No matter rich or poor, high or low, if you want to eat delicious food on the street, you have to queue up.But in fact, don’t get me wrong, this kind of straight-forward and unceremonious Jiangcheng-style yelling is not malicious. The combination of various noisy yelling sounds and the lively environment, and eating a mouthful of delicious hot and dry noodles, this is the most important thing. It is the essence of Wuhan's premature.

If you want to taste hot and dry noodles in an elegant and comfortable environment - it can only be said that the level of that store is really not good enough to provide such an environment.

Although Zhi Xiao is not in Jiangcheng at this time, the owner of the hot and dry noodles here is a native of Jiangcheng, and he makes good hot and dry noodles. It has been open in front of Yanmen Gate for five years, rain or shine, and it can be regarded as delicious. up.

When Zhi Xiao arrived at the store, there was already a long queue, especially the deliciousness.But the boss moved quickly, and the population flow also accelerated.

I saw that the boss scalded the light yellow, round lye noodles in the tumbling bone soup for a while, then picked them up, filtered the soup and put it into a bowl, then sprinkled salt, pepper, chicken essence, soy sauce and other seasonings in turn, and then Scooped a large spoonful of sesame sauce seasoned with sesame oil and evenly put it on the noodles, then sprinkled shallot and garlic water, and finally spread a layer of special sauced red diced radish.

In this way, a bowl of fragrant hot dry noodles is ready.

Zhi Xiao felt that even if he only saw the recipe but didn't taste it, the hot dry noodles must be delicious.

In the thick oily brown sauce soup, the bright yellow noodles are looming, with white sesame seeds and green green onions dotted among them, which looks like a landscape painting with thick and light ink.

But the strong fragrance makes people not in the mood to appreciate it, just want to take a bite of the hot dry noodles.

Accompanied by the aroma, pick up the slippery noodles and send them to your mouth.The noodles are tender and firm, which is the strength that only hand-made noodles have.The sesame seeds are very fragrant, with a burnt aroma after being fried.

Eat a mouthful of noodles, then drink a mouthful of soup.The tender and smooth noodles are paired with delicious bone broth, what a refreshing word.

No wonder hot and dry noodles will become the premature first choice of Wuhan people.

Zhi Xiao was eating happily when suddenly his arms sank.

"Okay, you came out to steal food again. It's not enough brother, you didn't call me." Xu Xiyang's characteristic sunny voice came from behind.

Zhi Xiao raised his head helplessly, this is the first time, he doesn't even remember.

Every time he sneaked out to eat breakfast, he had to play out this scene once.Is this interesting? !

Even if you eat breakfast, you can't finish it with peace of mind.

After eating breakfast in the cafeteria for more than a week, he couldn't stand the repeated breakfast every day, so he would rather get up early and go out for breakfast.

But his roommates would rather sleep longer than get up early, so they didn't wake them up every time.

However, when he ate halfway and was on the top, his male (spiritual) roommates would suddenly attack, and then the same scene as this time appeared.

Zhi Xiao sighed helplessly, "Eat it quickly, if you don't eat it, it will get cold and taste bad. I ordered three extra bowls just now, and the other two bowls were packed for them."

Sighing again, Zhi Xiao felt that it was his turn to be someone else's babysitter. Although he was just helping to bring breakfast, he had never done this before, and he just gave him the benefits that neither his father nor his mother had enjoyed. three of them.

Forget it, let's eat his hot dry noodles.

Xu Xiyang thinks that he has gotten a little fat recently, and eating too well is not so good!The belly is protruding, which is detrimental to his handsome description, it's time to lose weight.

However, let's wait until he finishes eating the hot dry noodles.

Well, why is this hot dry noodle so slippery, it's so hard to pinch.Oh, this side is too strong, it's so good.

Well, one more sip...

☆, New Year's Day Extra Story (Catching Bugs)

Let's talk about He Yanshuo, in order to win Zhi Xiao's favor, he found a master chef to learn how to cook.

He Yanshuo has always thought that learning to cook well is a very simple matter, but recently his thinking has changed...

The TM is the one who said learning to cook is easy, come out to me, and I promise not to hit you.

Learning to cook is easy...

Hehe, hehe.At this moment, He Yanshuo just wanted to give the person who said this a face of sesame seeds a mess.

Learning how to cook is easy...you don't have back pain when you stand and talk, come and try it! ! !

He Yanshuo, who was learning how to cook, and Boss He, slandered in his heart, but he didn't stop his movements.

But this is learned for his family's peach blossoms, so we can't give up halfway.

Today the teacher is teaching tomato scrambled eggs.

Tomatoes should be smooth with no protrusions on the top and ruddy in color.If there are sand spots on the tomato, it means that the tomato is ripe, and the flesh inside has begun to turn the sand and turn the surface.

Many people add a little sugar to stir-fry tomatoes. In fact, there is no way to do it. Under normal circumstances, the sweetness of ripe tomatoes is enough. The reason for adding sugar is because many tomatoes are ripened instead of natural. of.

Ripe tomatoes are ruddy on the outside, but raw on the inside, sour and astringent, so sugar is added to enhance the taste.

But the master craftsman must choose the best one to do it.

Boss He is good at the simple task of cutting tomatoes, so he skillfully washed and cut the tomatoes.

Then he carefully cracked the egg in front of him, picked up the chopsticks and was about to stir it, but the hand was caught by the master next to him.

"It's best to add a little warm water to the scrambled eggs, so that the eggs will be softer." The master chef pointed softly, but stood straight beside him, not thinking of helping at all.

He Da Boos was so angry that his teeth itch, this was the first time, he couldn't remember clearly.

Don't say it sooner, don't say it later, but at this time, it is clearly just to see his joke.

Didn't he just bring his granddaughter here first, as for holding grudges until this time? !

If his granddaughter didn't threaten him to leave the mountain, would the old man come over and teach him? !

snort!Boss He Da continued to slander in his heart. It's not that he didn't want to say it out loud, but he was afraid that if he said it, the old man would have another excuse to run away.

The old man teaching He Yanshuo how to cook in front of him is Shen Yanchuan, the former patriarch of the Shen family in Donghai.The cooking skills are well-known in the local area, especially the pastry skills, which are simply superb.The pastries made are like handicrafts, but they are full of color, fragrance and taste.

If the old man's pastries were not so good that he didn't even like the cooks behind him, he wouldn't be humbly learning to cook under the old man at this time, and he would have found another cook to teach him. him.

The slander is all slander, Boss He still obediently listened to Chef Shen's words, added some warm water into the egg and then stirred.

"Eggs like to eat oil like eggplants. If there is not enough oil, the eggs will not be fluffy, but if it is too oily, it will be greasy." Master Chef Shen nodded. It seems that this kid is still obedient, not bad.

"So when frying, you should heat the pan first, put your hands close to the bottom of the pan, and feel that the pan is almost hot, then pour the oil, don't be afraid, pour more, after pouring the oil, then pour the oil well the egg wash—”

Hearing this, Boss He Yanshuo turned on the gas stove, stood on the iron pot, and poured oil into it...

"Crackling, crackling, crackling..."

The oil was smoking, and He Yanshuo was almost hit by the oil bomb. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough, and jumped aside like a monkey, avoiding it.

But this is pitiful for Chef Shen, who happened to be standing next to He Yanshuo, and was hit by the oil bomb.

"Hiss!" As soon as the hot oil touched the skin, it immediately turned red, but luckily no blisters emerged.

Old man Shen gave He Yanshuo a hard look, "Hmph, hurry up and pour the egg liquid in, what kind of statue are you standing there for?"

He Yanshuo, Boss He, took a look at the old man Shen's skin that had been hit by the oil bomb, but he still had to bite the bullet.

"Spread the egg liquid first, and the egg skin should be thin. The egg skin obtained in this way is the best match for making tomato scrambled eggs. When the egg liquid is loose, then use a shovel to shovel the egg aside, and put the pot Tilt to control the excess oil." Old man Shen said while staring at Boss He's hands-on operation, making him want to make any mistakes, and the possibility of making any mistakes would be stuck in the cradle.

"The scrambled eggs in this way don't have much oil, and they are especially fluffy. This method of scrambled eggs is very particular. It's called hot pot with cold oil. When the pot is hot, the eggs will be cooked as soon as they are put in the pot. The oil is cold, which can keep the nutrients in the oil. "Speaking of this, old man Shen paused and shook his head.

"It's a pity, you ruined a good egg just like that." The old man has always believed in "don't sprinkle any salt in stir-fried vegetables, and there will be no grains of rice left after eating". When he saw the scrambled eggs made by He Yanshuo, he couldn't help it Satisfied, but unwilling to waste food, so I can only say it's a pity.

He Yanshuo, Boss He, had just spread the egg liquid with a shovel in a hurry, when he heard this sentence, he was happy.This old man loves food very much.

But it doesn't matter if he is not happy, he will burn the eggs when he is happy, the speckled black is especially conspicuous on the golden egg skin.

Seeing this scene, old man Shen lost even the last bit of pity.The eggs were scrambled to the bottom, and they couldn't be eaten.

"You are useless, hurry up and scoop out the eggs. They are all burnt."

When He Yanshuo finally scrambled a plate of decent eggs, it was already an hour later.

"Tomato scrambled eggs are a simple dish. Eggs are easy to cook, and tomatoes can be eaten raw, so after a little stir frying, they are already cooked."

"However, if you want to fry tomato scrambled eggs with clear red and yellow, you must fry tomato juice first." He said as he handed the chopped tomatoes to He Yanshuo.

This was the best solution old man Shen could come up with. He handed the materials to He Yanshuo and asked him to follow his explanation.

He Yanshuo took it silently, poured it into the pot silently and started frying tomato juice.

"Don't fry the tomatoes too soft, otherwise it will affect the taste." So He Yanshuo silently took the scrambled eggs and poured them in to stir fry.

"Okay. Scoop a small teaspoon of salt, stir-fry it a couple of times, and it's ready to be served on a plate."

Finally, the tomato scrambled eggs came out of the pan.

He Yanshuo silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Is this a human being? ! !

There are so many steps to fry a tomato scrambled egg? !

However, seeing the plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes that he fried, he became happy again.

Red is red, yellow is yellow, the two colors are very distinct, and it looks delicious.

Picking up chopsticks to pick up a piece of egg, the thin egg skin trembled, as if a child was begging for rumors, which made people very unbearable.

But he couldn't stand the temptation if he didn't eat it, so Boss He boldly put the egg into his mouth.

The sweet and sour of the tomato and the aroma of the egg are mixed together, making people speechless.

It was so delicious that I didn't even want to talk.

Pick up another piece of tomato, it is soft but not soft, but it has a bit of egg flavor, no matter how you eat it, you will never get tired of it.

Looking at the tomato scrambled eggs in front of him, He Yanshuo felt that he could eat two big bowls of rice.

While He Yanshuo was complacent, old man Shen put an egg into his mouth.

He smacked his lips, put down his chopsticks, shook his head, and sighed.

He Yanshuo eagerly waited for Master Chef Shen's words, but he just left without saying a word.

He Yanshuo is in a hurry. Is this over or... it's fun. "Old man, what's the matter, is this tomato scrambled egg okay?"

Master Chef Shen laughed in his heart, he was still not mature enough.I thought how long he could bear it, but I was in a hurry so soon.However, the skill is learned quickly, with seven or eight points of his.It's a patriarch enjoying the meal, that is, a boss, so I can't be his apprentice anymore, hey.

"That's it, no loss or fault. You can try it."

He Yanshuo became even more anxious, this is not going to work, when will he learn it well.If you don't go to his Taohua, Taohua in his family will not recognize him.

"How long will it take me to learn this dish well?"

"If you want to learn well, you should practice hard by yourself. You should be able to fry it thirty or fifty times, as long as you are not an idiot."

Heh, He Yanshuo gasped, what he said...was so annoying, how could he be that kind of idiot who is worse than a pig.

He Yanshuo was angry and angry.However, he still went to stir-fry honestly. In order to let his peach blossoms eat well and eat happily, he endured it first.

When he learns to be a teacher, Shen Da's famous chef... just wait, ha ha.
