Seeing this, Nian Bing couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, this must be the surface shaking method that the master said. Cha Ji once mentioned to Nian Bing that there is a most advanced technique in ramen called the surface shaking method. Neither would Chaji himself. Through the method of shaking the surface, the toughness and ductility between the surfaces are continuously increased in the collision with uniform force. The surface shaking method is suitable for thin noodles, but Nian Bing is a little worried that if the surface Fold one more layer, will it be overcooked when it is boiled in water
Finally, the vibration in front of him lasted until the moment the water in the iron pot boiled, Minghui suddenly left the chopping board, pulled out his left hand like lightning, raised his right hand high, let the four thousand and ninety-six noodles completely hang in the air, and his left arm turned to There is a block in the middle of the noodles, and the right hand takes the noodles downwards to receive them. During the process of stretching and pulling, 8,192 noodles appeared, and none of the noodles was broken. It looks like a miracle. People are amazed.
With a light flick, the noodles returned to the length of 4096 noodles. Minghui threw away the left hand and put the noodles into the boiling water with ease. The iron pot was very large, with a diameter of more than one meter. , Minghui put the noodles on the edge of the iron pot, and then immediately picked up a pair of chopsticks. The front ends of the chopsticks were separated to the two sides. Instead of picking up the noodles, they quickly spun around the boiling water in the center of the iron pot. At this moment, she Her hand suddenly turned milky white, and in the steaming steam, it was as transparent as a crystal pearl. When the water droplets condensed by the steam appeared on her hand, it reminded Nian Bing of a sentence that Chaji said back then: Canghai Moon Pearl has tears.
The stirring became faster and faster, and the whole pot of water was driven by the pair of chopsticks to spin rapidly, and the noodles also pulsated in the rotation, and the originally boiling water stopped bubbling because of the rapid stirring.
Nian Bing exclaimed: "I understand, this is the method of breaking water and preserving noodles. It's amazing." Breaking water and preserving noodles refers to stirring the boiling water into a vortex, so that although the temperature of the whole pot of water reaches the boiling point, Do not boil. In this way, when cooking things, the food can be heated more evenly, and the shape will not be affected by the air bubbles when the water boils. The pot of water is swirled into a swirl. The difficulty is that what she stirs is boiling water. Although the water does not touch the water, the temperature above the boiling water will never reach you. This requires that the chef should not be affected by the boiling water, and his hands must be stable. Therefore, this broken water The method of preserving face becomes very difficult.
The chopsticks left the water suddenly, and the boiling water in the iron pot was still spinning rapidly under the action of inertia. Minghui took a large bowl and opened an iron bucket next to it. A light yellow soup is poured out from the inside. The soup looks very transparent without any impurities in it. When it is placed in a bowl, when it is still, it looks like a huge citrine. This is the prepared beef soup.
Chopsticks plunged into the pot like lightning, and Minghui picked it up lightly. All the noodles left the boiling water without missing a trace and put them into the bowl. After the steaming noodles were immersed in the beef broth, the bowl became half full. The chopsticks in Hui's hand skillfully drove the noodles to turn clockwise in the beef soup, and then turned counterclockwise, and then stopped, and the yellowish noodles were neatly placed on the bottom of the bowl. He took a large iron spoon, took a spoonful of hot noodle soup from the pot and poured it on top, then reached into the iron bucket, and took out a few paper-thin, one-inch-wide strips of meat and a few slices The white radish boiled in the beef soup is placed on top of the noodles. Finally, a pinch of coriander is sprinkled in the noodle soup, and then the bowl is put down, and a few drops of bright red chili oil are dripped on it.
"Beef noodles in clear soup, please taste it." Minghui's forehead was slightly sweaty, and her hands returned to the original flesh color. Looking at Nian Bing, her eyes were full of confidence.
Nian Bing didn't say much, nodded to her, took the chopsticks in Minghui's hand and ate.
"I want to eat too, save some for me. Hey, don't eat so fast." Xue Jing was dissatisfied and wanted to grab Nian Bing's Nantiao. Nian Bing actually didn't eat fast at all. He just ate a few noodles and a piece Beef strips and a sip of noodle soup.
Handing the chopsticks to Xue Jing, she sighed softly, and looked at Ming Hui with admiration in her eyes, "I am convinced. It is the first time since I left the chef that I sincerely admire a chef. The beef noodles you cook are absolutely delicious. The four words of the last grade of pasta."
Ming Hui's ugly face flushed slightly, and he said, "Brother Nian Bing, you are too much for the prize."
"Wow, it's delicious. I usually don't like noodles, but why are these noodles so delicious! Minghui, why are your noodles so thin but not soft at all, each one is so somersaulting , it tastes great, and the noodles are not sticking to each other at all. There is also meat, is this the beef you cut? It tastes really good, and the soup is also good. It should be beef bone soup, um, no, beef bone The soup doesn't seem to be so fresh! And the smell is a bit strange, it's obviously the smell of beef soup, why do I have a special feeling?" Xue Jing's original gentle eating style is completely gone, the beef noodles are not hot, except for Nian Bing Except for a little bit, the rest of the time will enter her stomach.
Minghui covered his mouth and chuckled, and said: "Sister Xuejing, eat slowly, if you still want to eat, I'll make it for you again, don't worry!"
Nian Bing smiled and said: "It's very good that she can spell so many, she is worthy of being the successor of Qingfeng Temple. Minghui, let me tell you about the characteristics of your beef noodles in clear soup, and see if what I said is correct. After pondering for a while, he continued: "The beef noodles you made have the essence of traditional beef noodles. The characteristics of one clear, two white, three red, four green, and five yellow are fully reflected. The first clear is clear soup, and the second white is radish. Slices of white, three reds are chili oil red, four greens are coriander green, and five yellows are noodle yellow. The refreshing, bright and rich colors will stimulate your appetite. Not only that, but you also added your own innovation, the fineness of the noodles alone , I can't do it, the surface shaking method is really amazing, it can pull the noodles so thin, and still maintain a certain degree of toughness, which is much thinner than that nest of silk, but it still has strength, no Affects the taste. What I admire most is your method of breaking water and preserving noodles. Even my master can’t do it. I think your right hand must have practiced some special kung fu, which can make it not afraid of being scalded. Under fumigation, it is not enough to keep your hands from getting hot. Without a firm willpower, it is absolutely impossible to keep your hands steady. I really admire it! The noodles are good noodles, and at the same time, the soup is also a good soup, just as Jinger said , your beef soup is made from beef bones and the best year-round meat with refined butter. But it’s not just that simple. You have added at least three herbs to this beef soup, but these herbs are not only It will affect the taste of the beef soup, but it will fully bring out the umami taste of the beef soup. At the same time, the taste of the herbs themselves will also be integrated into the beef soup. When you feel the umami taste of the beef soup, you will immediately feel The aroma brought by the herbs. The two flavors are perfectly mixed together to become this superb beef soup, which is really great. As for the beef, it is not simply cut, but its own form. The best on the cow The meat we eat is not the bull’s eye of the chest, nor any thick inner part or muscle, but the rib meat on the ribs, which is really the best choice! Combining these things, I dare say that the whole continent has the same meat. I can’t find beef noodles in clear soup that surpasses yours, I’m convinced, completely convinced.”
Minghui's eyes flashed with surprise, "Brother, what you said is absolutely right, except for the three herbs that you didn't name, the others are exactly the same. You are indeed the magic chef of ice and fire!"
Xue Jing stroked her stomach contentedly, came to the two of them, looked at Nian Bing with some doubts, "The beef noodles are indeed delicious, but is it really as complicated as you said? Sister Minghui, you Don't be afraid of the blow, even if the blow is good, I support you. I think he must have said something wrong."
Ming Hui shook his head and said: "No, there is nothing wrong with it, even if it is me, at most it is just the names of those three herbs, brother Nian Bing must be better at cooking than me .Brother, it's your turn now, I want to see what kind of ice-fire cooking you have, can you?"
Nian Bing smiled and said: "After eating your delicious beef noodles in clear soup, how can I hide my clumsiness?" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but glanced at Xue Jing, she was the one who really ate a lot, and he hadn't had time yet If you eat it again, there will only be an empty bowl left, my poor stomach!
Although he thought so in his heart, Nian Bing's movements did not stop. When he walked to the chopping board, he thought about it, and soon decided what he was going to do. First, he washed his hands, then lifted the cloth and took out a The same noodle block as Minghui just now, smiled slightly, and said: "After eating your noodles, I will make you a bowl of noodles too. Yours is beef noodles in clear soup, and mine is the best cold noodles. There is no such thing here. The materials I need can only be borrowed." While talking, he started the process of kneading dough, he knew that if he didn't use some special skills, he would definitely be looked down upon by Minghui, and he didn't want others to say that he was * Magic can cook delicious food.
The noodles quickly turned into a ball in Nian Bing's hands. His hands moved slowly, and every stroke was full of strength. Gradually, his movements became faster, and each press would knead the noodles into pieces. Form, as the movement gets faster and faster, Nian Bing's hand bowl rubs back and forth with the palm as if there is no bone. The palm shadow completely wraps the face in it, and the existence of the face can no longer be seen. His palm shadow is like A ball that completely covers the face.
Minghui's eyes widened, and he took a deep breath, "This is the kneading method of kneading dough, and it really exists."
Xue Jing said in surprise: "The joints between his hands and the hand bowls are broken?"
Minghui shook his head and said: "No, this method of kneading dough is very difficult to practice. The main reason is the flexibility of the wrist. Only when the wrist can be twisted in any direction can it be successful, just like The muscles and bones are separated. This kind of dough kneading method has another name, which is the Ruyi hand of dividing the tendons and bones. It is one of the seven forbidden hands of pastry chefs. , while maintaining the moisture of the dough itself, the strength of the noodles can be enhanced to the extreme. Generally, the noodles kneaded by this method must have a special cooking method, otherwise, even if they are cooked, you will bite Don’t move. There is a saying in our culinary arts circle that as long as you master one of the seven forbidden hands of pastry chefs, you can become a top pastry chef. The fourth place in my hand, I didn't expect that Brother Nian Bing would be ranked third in the Ruyi hand. It seems that I am not as good as him when it comes to pasta!"
Nian Bing stopped without any warning, he turned his head and smiled slightly at Minghui, and said: "No, you are wrong, the seven forbidden hands can't prove anything, as a top-level pastry chef, you still need to comprehensively All kinds of abilities. In terms of pastry attainments, I am absolutely inferior to you."
With a flash of blue light, the Aotian Knife appeared in Nian Bing's hands, and the blade groaned slightly, overflowing with aura.
"Good knife, is this your kitchen knife?" Minghui asked in surprise.
Nian Bing smiled slightly and said, "It's one of them. If it's a pure knife, it's the most suitable one. The name of the knife is Aotian, and it can also be called Qingyin of the Wind of Freedom. I can't compare with you in terms of fineness, so I just use one Let’s make a clever word.” With a strange turn of his right wrist, he lifted the Aotian Knife upside down, and stretched out his left hand holding a circle of dough that was a full circle smaller than before.
Minghui knew that what Nian Bing was going to do next was by no means simple. She saw in Nian Bing's eyes a more focused look than her own, but the strange thing was that the object of his focus was not the face, but the knife, the free handle. The whisper of the wind—Aotian Knife.
The water in the iron pot was still tumbling, Nian Bing's knife finally moved, it looked very slow, it seemed to be a blue mist, but the shadow of the knife could not be seen clearly, only vaguely aware that the tip of the knife was Tie down toward the dough.
The wrist was trembling, and a piece of white noodles was picked into the pot. This was a prelude. Immediately afterwards, pieces of white noodles, like being threaded, appeared a series of white lights made of noodles at a distance of three inches. The water was poured into the pot, Nian Bing moved very fast, always holding the handle of the knife backwards, his demeanor was very relaxed, and his eyes were always on the shadow of the knife that could not be seen clearly.
Minghui seemed to have thought of something, and walked quickly to the edge of the iron pot. When she saw the noodles in the pot tumbling in boiling water, she was completely stunned, and slowly spit out four words, "Jin—" - False - 牖-."
Xue Jing came to the iron pot in doubt, "What is the brocade character, eh..." She also saw that the noodles rolling in the pot turned out to be words, not noodles as imagined. The words are very clear, two The characters connected together are about one inch long and half an inch wide. They are clearly the two characters of Minghui, drawn with iron and silver hooks, and the font is vigorous and powerful. Each group of characters is exactly the same without the slightest difference. This, how is it done
Minghui stared blankly at the iron pot, "I, I am so lucky to be able to see one of the five famous knife techniques in the culinary world. Master! Did you know that I actually saw the brocade .”
Xue Jing shook Ming Hui, and said with concern: "Are you alright?"
Minghui shook his head and said, "Thank you, I'm fine, I'm just too excited. You know, the five famous sword skills in the culinary world are more difficult than the seven forbidden hands of the pastry chef. The five famous knives have long been lost. The seven forbidden hands can also be mastered by talent and hard work, while the five famous knives require extraordinary comprehension and years of hard training. I heard the master introduce these five knives before. At that time, I thought it was incredible. I thought that was a magic skill that couldn’t exist at all, but I didn’t realize until today that I was wrong. How much I watched the sky from a well, and the word “Jin” appeared in front of me. This is the fourth-ranked sword technique among the five famous swords. Her body was trembling slightly, and her eyes were filled with admiration when she looked at Nian Bing. If she knew that Nian Bing would be able to master the Longyu Jiwu Sword Technique, which ranks first among the five famous knives, what would she think? ?Although Nian Bing has not fully mastered the Longyu Jiwu, it is, after all, the number one miraculous skill in the culinary art world!
Under Aotian's miraculous prodding, the face in Nian Bing's hand gradually shrank, and it took only a dozen breaths before and after. He had already completed all the movements without any stop. He picked up the chopsticks and stirred in the pot, and at the same time The left hand pressed against the edge of the iron pot with a flashing red light. The moment the chopsticks were attached to the iron pot with their left hand, they left quickly. At the same time, they replaced the chopsticks as the pot cover, and pressed them on the pot like lightning. It turned red, and the scorching breath filled the entire kitchen.
In just three breaths, Nian Bing left the iron pot with his left hand, picked up the lid and put it aside with his right hand, and suddenly the heat rose like a mushroom cloud. With his left hand, he picked up the zigzag noodles from the pot with a strainer, and immediately immersed them in the cold water. At the same time, he pressed his right hand to the bucket containing the cold water. His movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water, without any delay. If Minghui is not seeing Nian Bing for the first time, he will definitely suspect that he has entered his kitchen. He seemed to be very familiar with where each tool was, and there was no mistake or omission.
Nian Bing let go of the strainer with his left hand. Xue Jing and Minghui were surprised to find that the strainer stood motionless in the water. Nian Bing seemed to have finished the work under his hand, and turned to the second daughter with a smile: "I The tenacity of the noodles is increased to three times by the hands of the tendons and bones, and the noodles are boiled rapidly at high temperature, and now they are completely frozen. The internal structure of the noodles is destroyed by two extreme methods of ice and fire. In this way, The strong noodles produced by split tendons and bones will not be hard to bite, and at the same time, the aroma of the noodles themselves will be fully utilized. The taste is extremely strong, and will not be hard to bite, and the original flavor of the material itself It has always been what I pursue. Miss Minghui, I want to borrow your beef soup."
After finishing speaking, he took a clean empty bowl, filled half a bowl of beef soup from the bucket, added a little vinegar, a little sugar, and some chili oil, quickly mixed it thoroughly, and then grabbed the fence, under the action of the fire element, Jian Li took the frozen noodles out of the bucket, and the ice cubes gradually melted. When the ice leaked from the noodles, he put the ice cubes into the bowl. The ice melted completely, and the zigzag noodles appeared in the bowl. Nian Bing lightly stirred it twice to make the soup and the noodles completely blend. Pressing the surface of the soup bowl with his left hand, a thin layer of ice appeared, as if the whole bowl was frozen of.
"Okay, it's done. Let the two ladies have a taste of my bowl of Binghuo Ruyi noodles." Nian Bing smiled confidently at the second daughter.
Minghui and Xuejing looked at each other blankly, and they each picked up clean chopsticks and walked to the noodle bowl, the chopsticks easily broke through the thin ice, and they each put a piece of noodles into their mouths.
Minghui looked up at Nian Bing, his eyes were full of surprise, "The cold noodles, combined with the cold noodle fragrance, plus the three flavors of sour, sweet, and spicy, as well as the umami of the beef soup itself, are really delicious Yes. As expected of the Ice and Fire Chef, I am far behind."
Nian Bing said modestly: "Miss Minghui, don't say that, I borrowed your kneaded noodles and prepared beef soup to have this effect. When it comes to noodles, I am indeed far behind Miss, but It's just a coincidence."
Minghui's eyes flickered, "Is the flawed Ruyi hand and the brocade character's false girdle also a coincidence?"
"You guys are chatting, I'll eat first." Xue Jing didn't care about any technique or cooking skills, she only knew that the bowl of noodles in front of her was too good for her taste, even though she was full from the clear soup beef noodles just now, she couldn't help Live the lure of gourmet food.
Nian Bing smiled and said: "The kitchen is endless, we still have a lot to learn, don't we?"
Minghui took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "Yes! There is no end to cooking. It seems that I shouldn't just sit and watch the sky. There are more things to learn. Brother Nian Bing, thank you for your guidance."
Nian Bing said sincerely: "Miss Minghui, you are welcome, I have also learned something from you."
Leaving Yipin Noodles, Minghui has already reached an agreement with Xuejing, Xuejing wrote her a letter of recommendation, and soon, she will go to Ice and Snow City to practice in Qingfengzhai.
"Jingjing, have you found a place to live?" Nian Bing asked softly while walking on the street.
Xue Jing took the initiative to take Nian Bing's arm, shook her head, and said: "Not yet, I rushed to the city as soon as I arrived in Ice Orchid City. Since there are few people on the street at night, I want to walk more. , I will leave the city early tomorrow morning, and continue to look for you in the direction of the capital of the Oran Empire. People know that you don’t have a horse, and you didn’t even ride a horse this time. You’ve been exhausted all the way, how can you compensate me?” She is very excited now, not only found Nian Bing, but also helped Qingfengzhai recruit a super capable pastry chef. This time, even after returning to Qingfengzhai, her father will not blame herself.
Nian Bing struggled unnaturally, but Xue Jing insisted on holding his arm. As a magician, he really couldn't compete with Xue Jing in terms of strength, so he had no choice but to let her go. From time to time, there was a faint fragrance of virginity from Xue Jing's body, which caused Nian Bing's heart to throb. He's still a virgin. A virgin is always easily attracted to a beautiful woman, no matter how mature he is. In terms of stature, among all the girls I know, only Feng Nu can compare with her.
"Compensation? Didn't I treat you to dinner just now? This is not compensation!" Nian Bing was a little afraid to look at Xue Jing, and his steps quickened.
Xue Jing smiled and said: "Of course it doesn't count, I just want to get rid of me after a meal. Do you think I'm a beggar?"
Nian Bing smiled bitterly: "Then what do you want from me?"
Xue Jing said: "First of all, you are responsible for all the expenses along the way, and you are not allowed to object. Secondly, when there is no restaurant, you have to cook for me. I don't eat dry food. I eat dry food along the way. I'm so sad."
Nian Bing made a surprised expression on his face, "No way, you are a dignified lady of Qingfengzhai, but you want to eat me as a poor man. You are so cruel!"
Xue Jing giggled and said, "She's a girl. Do you want me to pay? I've heard from Ling'er that the magic scrolls you make are very valuable, so it's no problem to keep me. I don't care, anyway, you promised If you agree, if you don’t agree, you must agree.”
"It seems that I have no choice but to consider myself unlucky. I hope there are still vacancies at the Lanxin Hotel." Now he can only hope to reach the capital of the Oran Empire earlier. At that time, I can get rid of this crazy girl. Hey, why do the more I don't want to have sex with women, the more beautiful women appear around me? The master told me to find a girl I love to be with, but what is love between a man and a woman? No matter how smart Nian Bing is, he is still like a simple child in this respect. Xuejing chased him, which made him feel something faintly, but he couldn't tell clearly.
"It's too late if there are vacancies, it's so late, who will open a room for me! Nian Bing, you should live in a standard room, anyway, there are two beds, I'll just stay with you." Said these words , Xue Jing couldn't help lowering her head shyly.
Nian Bing was taken aback, "What? No, no, you are a girl, how can you live with me?"
Xue Jing snorted, and said: "It's not your fault. I was delayed for so long just now. Do you want me to sleep on the street? I don't care about a girl. What else do you care about? Do you have any evil intentions? "
Nian Bing stared at Xue Jing dumbfounded, "You, you really want to share a room with me? That's not good for your reputation! You will always get married in the future. If your husband finds out, I'm afraid..."
Xue Jing was inexplicably irritated, "Where are you talking so much nonsense, I will eat you up, you don't care if I marry or not, at least I want to have a place to sleep peacefully tonight. Hmph."
"Miss, are you sure?" Nian Bing asked tentatively.
Xue Jing snorted and said, "Of course I'm sure, are you still afraid that I won't be able to rape you?" At this point, even she couldn't help laughing, cursing in her heart, Xue Jing, Xue Jing, what's wrong with you now , How can you even say such words
Nian Bing thought about it, and now there is really no better way. As Xue Jing said, there are two beds in my room. Although it is not appropriate for men and women to share the same room, as long as you are open-minded, there should be no problem. . Thinking of this, he could only nod his head.
Xue Jing let go of Nian Bing's arm and asked, "When are you going to leave Ice Orchid City?"
Nian Bing thought for a while, and said: "Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, I heard today that there is a famous snack in Binglan City, what is it called staring food, it sounds very strange, the master never told me before, it must be eaten Go and have a try, also, I sold some magic scrolls in exchange for white scrolls, it takes at least a day to make some magic scrolls for self-defense."
"Okay! I'm not in a hurry." Of course Xue Jing was not in a hurry, she wished that Nian Bing would walk slowly so that she would have more time.
When the two returned to the Lanxin Hotel, it was already late at night. The security guard at night let the two of them enter the gate after Nian Bing showed the room key. However, the security guard did not leave. When Xue Jing went upstairs, she was stopped by security guards.
"I'm sorry sir, we are a serious hotel, and guests are not allowed to have special activities in the hotel." The security guard said a little rudely.
Nian Bing was stunned and said, "What do you mean?"
The security guard looked at Nian Bing, then at Xue Jing in red, and said calmly: "You should understand what I mean. It seems that one of the two is not our guest.
Nian Bing had a quick brain, and immediately understood what the security guard meant, and he couldn't help being angry and funny, "This is my friend, she came to Ice Orchid City at night, and it's too late now, so I can't open the room anymore, so I can only Take her back to my place for a night of grievances, and I will open a separate room tomorrow, or you can open a room for me now." The security guard snorted and said: "No, I have no right to open a room, the two can only be one Go up." I thought to myself, this little boy, *he looks better, can actually seduce such a beautiful woman, hmph, I just won't let you succeed.
Although Xue Jing is not as smart as Nian Bing, but at this time the security guard has already made the words so clear, how could she not understand, she was furious and said: "Fart, who do you take us for, get out, otherwise Don't blame me for doing it." As she said, she pressed the hilt of the sword with her hand, and suddenly a red douqi enveloped her delicate body. Nian Bing was not angry at this time, but was secretly grateful to the security guard in front of him. He could not refuse in person because of Xue Jing's face, but he always felt that it was not appropriate to be in the same room with her. After going down the slope, she hurriedly stopped Xue Jing and said, "Quiet, don't mess around, have you forgotten what you promised me earlier? What they said is right, this is for the safety of the guests. I give you the key. You can go to sleep." .”
