Chapter 43 The Way of the Face
But Chen Nian has been stubborn since he was a child, and even ten cows can't get him back from the things he believes in.
The previous menu provided only two dishes, but now there is a staple dish.
Naturally there is no reason to exclude it from aging.
Moreover, Chen Nian completely feels that he can prepare in advance.
It is foreseeable that after your braised pork meets the requirements and the number of copies sold.
I would definitely take advantage of a dark and windy night to learn the recipe while I was asleep, and then pull myself directly into the dreamland.
Moreover, I must still be an apprentice.
If it were an open world like Shaoshuai Braised Pork, Chen Nian himself would have to find a store and find a way to make the other party accept him.
Moreover, this time they are working on the white case. Even if the basic skills of the Chen Nianhong case are very solid, but they can't even make peace with each other, isn't it the same as selling a comb to a bald man, which is a waste of effort?
Therefore, Chen Nian decided to take a preemptive strike this time.
When I went to buy vegetables in the afternoon, Chen Nian had already bought a 10 kg bag of flour.
I just planned to practice at night when no one is around.
In the evening, after seeing off all the guests, Chen Nian closed the door alone and took out a big basin.
Put some flour in it.
Then dig a small hole in the middle of the flour pile and pour the water into it.
Just like cement, start kneading the dough.
The white flour gradually takes shape under the constant kneading of the old man, and then his hands continue to change the shape as the old man goes up and down, sometimes flat, sometimes round.
But gradually, I realized that this dough seemed a little different from what I imagined.
Because... after aging, I found that this dough is very sticky.
After thinking about it, I probably put too much water in it.
So I added some more flour and started kneading.
As he kneaded it, he found that the flour seemed a little dry.
So I put some more water in.
Finally, a ball of dough with a smooth, white and elastic surface appeared in front of me.
After a gentle slap, the dough trembled slightly, leaving a shallow palm print on it.
"Yes, she is my ideal type."
Very satisfied with the aging.
Then this side needs to wake up.
Due to the external force, the internal structure of the freshly kneaded dough will be entangled to a certain extent, causing excessive shrinkage inside the dough, which will also make the texture of the dough become coarse and the gluten will be reduced.
The key to resting the dough is to leave the dough for a period of time after kneading it, so that the protein molecules in the dough have room to relax and reconstruct again.
The inside of the dough that has been twisted under the influence of the outside is reshaped and stretched again, which will also make the dough more chewy and chewy, and the texture will be more delicate and smooth.
After Chen Nian thought about what he had learned in school, he covered it with plastic wrap to preserve the moisture, and then let it reach an oxygen-free environment.
Waited for about ten minutes.
Remove the plastic wrap.
"Why are you soft again? No way!"
"Aren't you going to cause trouble for others this late at night?"
"It shouldn't be like this. I obviously worked very hard just now."
I can’t figure it out after it’s been aged for so long.
But things have come to this, and there is nothing that can be done about it.
I can only sprinkle a layer of flour on the chopping board to prevent sticking, then roll the dough flat, finally roll it out, cut it into strips and throw it into the pot for cooking.
Chen Nian also wanted to try ramen noodles, but he found that although the noodles were soft, they broke when he pulled them.
In the end, Chen Nian could only make these into hand-made noodles.
It's just that after cooking it, Chen Nian thought the taste was just okay.
As for the toppings, I used ready-made braised broth, poured the braised pork on the noodles, sprinkled some coriander, and pinched a handful of chopped green onions.
The white noodles are covered with reddish-brown soup, and the rich braised broth that was originally cooked is now perfectly integrated with the noodles.
The aroma of meat seems to give this bowl of noodles a new soul.
The braised pork and green scallions and coriander on top make this bowl of noodles look not so bad.
Just pick up a few noodles with chopsticks and put them in your mouth.
Thanks to the smoothness of the soup, the noodles entered Chen Nian's mouth with just a slurping sound.
If you drink the soup directly, the broth is actually a bit salty, so that's why the guests mix it with rice.
What Chen Nian didn't expect was that the noodle soup was also very good.
At first, I just sipped and ate it.
When there was still half a bowl left, Chen Nian was lucky enough to pick up the bowl, slurping as if drinking water, and put the noodles into his mouth.
How can this be such a good word?
After a few dozen seconds, the aging bowl was empty.
My belly is bulging and I am very satisfied.
There were also fine beads of sweat on his forehead, which was obviously due to the extremely comfortable eating of this noodle.
Smash it, smash it: "Yes, but the noodles are not that good. Although it tastes good, it would be better if it could be replaced with tomato and egg fried sauce or meat fried sauce."
This meal will be revisited over time.
Then I decided to buy some dry yellow sauce and sweet noodle sauce when I go to the vegetable market tomorrow.
As for the egg cartons, I also need to buy some.
The price of eggs has recently gone up again. Yesterday morning it was 3.5 yuan, and yesterday afternoon it was 4 yuan. When I went to the vegetable market this afternoon, I heard that eggs had risen to 5 yuan.
The specific reason seems to be that there was something wrong with the chickens in a nearby city that mainly supplies eggs.
However, it doesn’t take much aging.
It’s just for your own consumption. Buying a dozen or so pills first is enough.
Then at noon the next day, before my mother could tell me what to eat for lunch, Chen Nian said that we should eat noodles for lunch.
At night, it was still noodles.
At noon on the third day, it was still noodles.
On the night of the third day, Feng Honghong really couldn't accept noodles.
"I'm going back to make porridge today. Do I need to leave it for you?"
"Mom, why do you want to drink porridge? Isn't it good to eat noodles?"
"Okay, but you can't eat it every day."
After saying that, Feng Honghong ran away quickly.
I left only the aged fried sauce and cooked it for one person alone, and made myself a bowl of Old Beijing fried noodles with fried sauce.
However, the noodles made by Chen Mian are still not good every time.
Either it's hard or it's soft.
After waking up, I had all kinds of problems.
It's just that although the noodles are not perfect, and it can even be said that the shortcomings are very obvious, after cooking, the taste will be slightly better.
Paired with the sauce you made yourself, it's not bad at all.
It's just that it's definitely not particularly delicious.
On this day, Chen Nian ate another bowl of noodles and prepared to leave.
As soon as I picked up my phone from the table, I heard a vibrating sound.
It's a message pop-up window.
