Chapter 136 The Love of Fried Rice Noodles
"Mire, remember the story I told you about Xinjiang's fried rice noodles. Don't take my story seriously. I told it in an exaggerated way." I remember I once told a love story, but now I'm worried that Mire will
This story is true, and he deliberately flirted with me by eating rice noodles.
There are two legends about Xinjiang fried rice noodles, both of which I heard. One is about love and the other is about nostalgia. This love story is very common, but I think it may be true. This story tells that there was a couple in Guangxi. One day, because of
Due to family reasons, the girl moved to Urumqi with her family to live.
From then on, the two lived far apart. The girl lived in Urumqi and the boy lived in Guangxi. Neither of them expected that it would be difficult to see each other from now on. It was around the end of the 1980s, an era when communication basically relied on long-distance phone calls and letters. The couple soon became lovers.
They discovered the confusion and longing caused by the distance, and each of them was worried about the future of the two of them.
Boys are always worried and concerned about themselves. He is afraid that girls will not be used to it. When contacting girls, he always asks girls if they can eat Guangxi rice noodles in Urumqi. Girls don’t want to lie to boys and tell the truth and say no. Boys just buy it.
He bought a lot of dry rice noodles and mailed them to the girls. He said that the girls could make and eat the rice noodles by themselves.
For girls who are far away from home, rice noodles are a good way to express their longing and relieve loneliness. Many processes and materials for making rice noodles have been changed in Xinjiang, and girls have figured out how to eat soup noodles and stir-fried noodles at home.
Every time a boy writes a letter or calls, he always complains: "Why can't we eat rice noodles in Xinjiang? So this girl simply opened a small shop and opened a shop specializing in fried rice noodles. She discovered
Guangxi-style fried rice noodles and soup noodles were not popular with Xinjiang people, so she once again innovated the frying method of rice noodles according to the tastes of Xinjiang people.
She bought a large amount of dry rice noodles through some wholesale markets. Then she used Xinjiang's dried chili peppers, bean paste and noodle sauce to stir-fry spicy sauce, then stir-fried chicken or beef with the spicy sauce, and stir-fried the soaked rice noodles with vegetables.
What comes to mind is that her special rice noodles became very popular as soon as they were launched.
After the girl's rice noodles became popular, she became very busy. As she became busy, she had less contact with the boy. The boy didn't know what happened, and he was a little anxious. Then he broke through the obstacles at home and secretly went to Xinjiang to see the girl.
, I want to give my girlfriend in Urumqi a surprise.
After a long journey, he was hungry and tired. When he got off the train, he heard someone talking about a very famous fried rice noodle shop in Urumqi, and the fried rice noodles were particularly delicious.
The boy asked about the address of the rice noodle shop. He thought he would go and check it out first. If it tasted authentic, he would take the girl to eat fried rice noodles. This should be a very romantic thing.
Unexpectedly, when the boy was sitting in a rice noodle shop and saw that the girl was the boss, he was so surprised. Then the lovers never separated. It is said that the boy also opened a fly shop for fried rice noodles to compete with the girl. It was very perverted and spicy.
Fried rice noodles were invented by boys.
The story of the lovers being reunited because of fried rice noodles began to spread among diners. Since then, Xinjiang fried rice noodles have become popular in Xinjiang. Xinjiang-style fried rice noodles are particularly spicy and are especially popular among Xinjiang girls.
"Do you know why they like it? One reason is because it tastes good, and the other reason is that spicy food is exciting and oily, making it easy to have diarrhea after eating it. And because of the spicy food, many people's tongues cannot taste other flavors for several days.
, so spicy fried rice noodles are a weight-loss food for girls." I told Mire.
Another way of saying it is very unromantic. It says that workers who come to Xinjiang from Guizhou are not used to Xinjiang food and are very homesick. Therefore, when they go back to their hometowns during the Chinese New Year and festivals, they will carry a lot of dry rice noodles back to Xinjiang. They are influenced by Xinjiang.
The Guizhou people invented the Xinjiang fried rice noodles using spicy skin to make fried noodles. After continuous improvement and adaptation, a new flavor of fried rice noodles was formed.
Mire, like many people in Kashgar, is not very fond of spicy food, but after hearing romantic rice noodle stories, she thought that Xinjiang fried rice noodles represented love. Today was the first time she asked me to fry rice noodles for her, and she had to do it carefully.
Spicy. My store serves fried rice noodles, which are spicy and can be tolerated by anyone who likes spicy food.
I didn’t make a very spicy version for Mire. Mire still has to take a test. The spicy taste will make anyone’s excretion mouth burn for at least two or three days, and because the reaction of the stomach is too strong, it will be really harmful if it causes continuous diarrhea.
Got Mire.
Many beauties in Urumqi eat spicy or extremely spicy rice noodles as a weight loss meal. I can't let Mire suffer.
The small pot in the kitchen can fry up to two portions of rice noodles at a time, which of course refers to normal portions of rice noodles. For the small portions sold, these two portions can be converted into about six portions.
Of course, you can't invite Mire and her classmates to eat in too small portions. This is the custom in Xinjiang. A big plate of chicken, a big plate of tripe, a big plate of pilaf, a big plate of noodles. Small plates of food in Xinjiang will be looked down upon. So.
I fried two normal portions, which were slightly spicier than the normal ones. I distributed them to several classmates on small dinner plates, and then asked Reyihan to get them something else to eat.
Reyihan also likes Mire better and is considered a relative, so she served a lot of meat and vegetables, as well as pastries and drinks. Due to exams these days, none of the student clerks came, and neither did Mayisha.
Come on, Reyihan seems a little busy. Satiniti is helping in the milk tea shop. Reyihan spends most of his time in the restaurant. I also help in the store when I have time these days.
During dinner, Hua Wen came over. She didn't show up all day. When she came, she said she wanted to eat something. I guess she didn't eat lunch either. There was a small portion of fried rice noodles that no one had eaten yet, so Mire gave it to Hua Wen.
.
"You idiot, did you make this fried rice noodles? It tastes terrible!" Hua Wen took a bite and put the small bowl aside.
"Sister Wenwen, I think it's delicious. If you don't want to eat it, I'll eat it." Mire took a bite of the fried noodles that Hua Wen took and started eating.
"You can eat it if you don't mind that I've eaten it. I'd better go and eat the food cooked by Reyihan." Hua Wen said.
She asked Reyihan to make her a plate of noodles with soybean paste, and then asked Satiniti for a piece of double-skinned milk. Coincidentally, I taught them to make these two things. Could it be that all apprentices are better than their masters?
Already?
"Mire, how did you do in the exam? Let's go back to Beijing with my sister during the summer vacation." Hua Wen asked Mire.
"I did very well in the exam. I'm thinking about the scholarship for the first place! I won't go to Beijing. I'm afraid of going to strange places alone. I want to stay with Brother Li here and help them. Summer vacation is the most popular time for tourists in the ancient city.
At that time, my brother is too busy." Mire said.
"You idiot, it's okay. I'm jealous of how nice this sister Mire is to you." Hua Wen said to me, and I seemed to see a black line on Hua Wen's head.
"Are you going back to Beijing?" I asked. I had never heard Hua Wen say that she was going back to Beijing during the summer.
"It's just a plan, not completely finalized. I want to go back and find more information, but there are too few electronic materials. I want to see which schools have doctoral programs in agriculture. If possible, I still want to study for a diploma in agriculture. Don't worry.
!It’s not like I won’t come back.” Hua Wen said.
When I heard Hua Wen personally saying that she wanted to go back to Beijing, my heart was really pinched, but I still pretended as if nothing had happened.
"Are you going to let other people live? Is this doctor just a casual student? Mire, your sister Hua Wen is a pervert. Don't think that learning is easy." I said jokingly.
"Sister, you are so awesome. Sister, please feel free to go back to Beijing. I will take good care of Brother Li." Mire interjected at an inappropriate time.
"Mire, good boy, you better study hard. Your brother Li will take care of himself. He is a small boss now and can also cook and wash clothes." Hua Wen said, and then she pretended to be kind and touched Mire's head.
hair.
Mire couldn't hide her joyful smile, which made me a little confused. The joke these two people made today seemed a bit real.
Before it got completely dark, Mire and her classmates went back to school. Although she said that the next exams would all depend on their real skills, they still had to go back to review.
After Hua Wen and I helped the children with their homework at Grandma Zuhela's place, we helped her with housework. I cleaned and Hua Wen talked with her.
When I was free after sweeping the floor, Hua Wen said: "Second fool, I want to discuss something with you. I plan to use Grandma Zuhela's house as a B&B. I will discuss it later with her and her children from other places.
, instead of renting out her house for free. I thought if I could use a few rooms as a B&B, I could make a little more money. I heard that running a B&B is really profitable. If I really go to school in the future
Go, there should be something here that can help you."
I have considered a B&B and calculated the cost. It is too much of a one-time investment for a poor person like me, and I don’t think tourists like to live in the ancient city. The hotel rooms are clean, comfortable and cheap. I told Hua Wen
my concerns.
"Hua Wen, I don't seem to have seen many B&Bs in the ancient city. Are they reliable? I have calculated that the initial investment may require hundreds of thousands, which will take a long time to earn back. Moreover, how many people will choose to live in B&Bs?
"The hotels in Kashgar are rarely full," I said.
"This is why I keep saying that you are not suitable for business. Why are you always not confident? How many investigations have you done? How many plans have you made? It is a very bad mentality to deny it as soon as you open your mouth."
Hua Wen said.
"To be honest, I have no money and don't want to borrow money. So I didn't think about it further because the cost was too high." I said helplessly.
"So, don't use your thinking to think about others. Do you think I will be hot-headed and just want to open a B&B? I am optimistic about this direction. I was thinking about this issue when I saw Grandma Zu and La's house before. Mainly
We want to achieve something, and just relying on your small restaurant is not enough. If we find more than ten acres of land later, we will need more financial resources to support these things." Hua Wen said.
