Lin Dan didn't stay in the back kitchen, but asked the staff to set up a simple shed in front of the store, with stoves, pots and bowls, cutting boards, kitchen knives and other items in it. Hold and tie tightly so as not to fall into the pot and contaminate the ingredients.
After stirring the marinade, Xiaozhu pitifully begged: "Sister Lin, can you cook us a bowl of noodles? We can work hard when we are full!"
Lin Dan glanced at him with a smile, and then cut a piece from the dough that had woken up, quickly pulled it into thin silver noodles, put it in the boiling spring water, and lined up five large sea bowls at the end, and scooped them out separately. A spoonful of creamy bone broth for later use. After the noodles were cooked, she cut the braised pork into thin slices, placed them neatly on the noodle soup, added a few boiled green cabbage leaves, cut half a braised egg and placed it in the soup, and finally sprinkled with chopped green onion and coriander .
"Eat, hurry up and work for me after eating." As soon as Lin Dan finished speaking, Xiaozhu and Shaoyao cheered, took away the noodle soup, and started eating.
"Master, the noodles are so glutinous and the flavor of the braised pork is blended into the flavor of the bone broth. The flavor is just right, neither salty nor bland. Can I have another bowl?" Shaoyao sighed while eating.
"Okay, I'll have another bowl. You and Du Juan can share it." When the children are growing, they naturally eat a lot. Lin Dan can afford one more bowl and one less. She turned around and continued to pull noodles, but Xiaozhu wondered: "Shopkeeper, why did you move the kitchen out? It's inconvenient for people to come and go in front of the store!"
"It is for convenience that I will move out. What kind of noodles the guests want to eat and how much they want, just tell me directly when you enter the door, I will make it immediately, and it will be served to the guests without a moment's effort. The table. The noodles that have just been taken out of the pot are the best. They are smooth and sinewy, and the roots are distinct. After a while, it will become lumpy, affecting the taste. When cooking at noon, there is a lot of oil smoke, which will choke the guests. We will move back then. "Lin Dan has always paid attention to excellence in cooking. The feelings of diners are what she cares about the most, so she naturally arranges things as it is convenient for diners.
Xiaozhu and the others nodded repeatedly to show that they were taught, but they heard a deep voice from outside the door: "Lin Dan, being your diners is probably the happiest thing in the world."
"You're here again." Lin Dan smiled and shook his head, "You praised it wrongly. I'll make it for you what flavor of noodles you want to eat."
"I'm free, just watch and cook." Tang Jiu stepped into the door, and Xiao Zhu hurried up to help him clean the table and chairs.
Lin Dan knew that Tang Jiu was an authentic foodie and could accept any kind of food, so he cooked a bowl of braised noodles and sent it to him. After greeting the first diners, she started to fry the sangzi. First, she took out a piece of well-cooked pork belly from the marinade jar, cut it into thin cubes with a kitchen knife, put it into another pot, and added dry wood with a large piece of pork belly. It is hot and fragrant, then add dried bean curd, bamboo shoots, water bamboo and other ingredients one after another, pour into water, and boil a pot of thick juice.
"It's so fragrant, can you add a little bit of this shit to me?" Tang Jiu looked at Lin Dan eagerly.
"Of course you can, add a spoonful of sangzi and charge an extra penny." Lin Dan joked.
"Five cents extra is also worth it." Tang Jiu gave her a deep look, and finally mixed the newly added saozi into the noodles, took a big mouthful, and her eyes lit up immediately. With only a half-pound piece of braised pork, he can stir-fry a large pot of diced vegetables to create such a strong meat aroma. Lin Dan's craftsmanship is really good.
Lin Dan seemed to see his surprise and explained: "Most of the people who get up before dawn to work are not rich, and they can only eat a bite of meat during the festivals. I sell braised pork noodles here for four cents a bowl, and some people Of course I can’t afford it, so it’s better to use this piece of braised pork to make a pot of half-vegetarian sangzi with a meaty taste, and let everyone eat it. It has the meaty taste and the price is cheap. It is a food with a crispy texture, which is easy to absorb oil and juice, put it in the marinated gravy and cook it for a while, and the vegetarian dish can also taste the meat dish, which is the peculiar smell method in the seasoning method.”
Tang Jiu put down the bowl unknowingly, and was fascinated by it.
When Lin Dan was talking about the classics of gourmet food, there were already many people nearby who followed the smell. With such a strong lo-mei, which restaurant should be cooking breakfast and preparing to take out. While most people can't afford braised pork, it's okay to go and buy a bowl of Yangchun noodles. To be able to make the braised pork so fragrant, the cooking skills of this restaurant are definitely not bad.
Thinking like this, many people turned into the deep alley, and without the guidance of others, they accurately found the location of the hometown restaurant. Even if some people take the wrong way, they will come back quickly. The aroma of the food in the store is the best sign.
After a while, there were people standing in front of the store, and when they saw the steaming marinade pot, they couldn't help swallowing, feeling that the greedy worms in their stomachs were starting to rebel. In particular, Tang Jiuzheng snorted and snorted happily, and the big man with his head full of food and his satisfied expression made them even more greedy.
"Boss, how much does a bowl of noodles sell for?" a burly man asked with saliva.
"Yangchun noodles are one penny, saozi noodles are two penny, overweight saozi noodles are three penny, and braised pork noodles are four penny. I also sell white porridge here, all of which are two penny." Lin Dan said slowly.
Xiaozhu quickly ran out and greeted the guests warmly: "Guest officer, if you want to eat, please come in."
"Saozi noodles are only sold for two pennies, this kind of shame?" The strong man pointed to the cauldron, his eyes sparkling. The braised pork in the pot has been completely boiled, and the diced bamboo shoots, dried tofu, and diced water bamboo are dyed with the sauce color of the braised pork, and they are also full of the sauce and meat flavor. There is no difference, but there is more of the fresh and sweet taste that the braised pork does not have.
The brawny man didn't know what to do, thinking that this pot of half-sauce was pure braised pork, so his expression was surprised. You know, meat noodles like this can be sold for more than five cents on the street.
"That's right, it only sells two cents. I'm made from vegetarian dishes, so I don't need to spend anything." Lin Dan explained patiently.
"Then give me a bowl!" The strong man no longer hesitated, and immediately walked into the store, whispering in his heart: It doesn't matter whether he is plain or meaty, as long as he can taste the meat.
He seems to be the leader of a group of people. He came in, and the rest of the people also came in. They each asked for a bowl of shaozi noodles. They all had the same accent, and they should have come from the same place.
Lin Dan said warmly: "Listening to the accents, the elder brothers seem to be from northern Shaanxi. How about I adjust this scorpion to the taste of northern Shaanxi for you?"
"Saozi can adjust the taste? It's good, it's naturally good!" The group nodded quickly.
Lin Dan put a pot on the vacant stove, poured some oil, and when the oil was 70% hot, he put the chili noodles and fried them into red oil for later use. There were nine diners in total, so she scooped nine spoonfuls of sauerkraut, sautéed it with red oil for a while, added starch to thicken it, and when the soup boiled, put some finely chopped sour cabbage together with the sage. cook. In this way, the original braised saozi has become a pot of red, fiery, sour and sour saozi in northern Shaanxi.
After the saozi was prepared and the noodles were cooked, Lin Dan quickly fished them out and put them in nine bowls, then sprinkled with minced ginger, chopped green onion, and minced coriander, and let Xiaozhu and others take them away.
Several strong men originally came with an attitude of early adopters, until they saw this bowl of familiar hometown noodles, which could no longer be familiar, did they show a moving look. They couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and start eating, and as soon as they took a sip, a dampness flashed in their eyes. The noodles are thin and glutinous, the scorpion is sour and spicy, and it is very flavorful. It is warm in the stomach. Those long-awaited nostalgia, childhood memories that I can't even think about in the dead of night, all flashed in my mind. While arousing nostalgia, it also dispels nostalgia.
"It's delicious, it's the taste I ate when I was a child!" The strong man took a few mouthfuls of noodles, and his voice was a little hoarse when he spoke again. His fellow villagers nodded frequently, with contented expressions. After eating such a bowl of hometown noodles, I just feel that my whole body is full of energy, and I will definitely be able to move more goods and make more money later.
"It's delicious, I'll be back tomorrow." Before the noodles were finished, the brawny man began to reluctantly recite, and it seemed that there was hope for the life that had been so hard.
"I'm coming too." Everyone nodded in response. The most not tired of eating, only this hometown food.
After a while, several people came to the door of the store. They were a little short and had a strong accent. It was difficult for ordinary people to understand what they were saying. However, Lin Dan traveled from south to north and has extensive knowledge. Naturally, communication was easy, and he explained the prices of noodles and porridge in detail.
Several people stared at the marinade crock for a while, and finally couldn't resist the temptation to walk in.
"According to the accent, the elder brothers are from Baiyue, how about I adjust the saozi to Baiyue?" Lin Dan asked politely.
Several people showed dubious expressions, but nodded slightly. Lin Dan scooped out a few spoonfuls of sangzi, added water to dilute the taste, and added sugar to taste. After finishing, he took a small jar from the stove, scooped out a few spoonfuls of dark sauce, and poured it into the prepared sambal. An indescribable fishy smell spreads in the air, but it becomes extraordinarily fragrant after blending with the sauce aroma of the marinated scorpion, and there is a faint smell of sea water.
The dubious expressions of several men were immediately replaced by surprises, and they talked a lot about their freshman year and gave them thumbs up frequently.
Lin Dan nodded and said, "Yes, this is sand crab sauce. I made it myself. The elder brothers will taste whether it is authentic or not."
Baiyue people from the west especially like sand crab sauce. Whether they are cooking meat or vegetarian dishes, they like to add a little sand crab sauce to taste. When cooking noodles, they also like to use sand crab sauce, sweet noodle sauce, bean paste, etc. Lin Dan once stayed in Xiyue for a few months, and he made authentic Xiyue miscellaneous sauce noodles. The flavor is fishy and fresh, which is very unique.
The saozi was prepared, and the noodles were put into bowls. Lin Dan scooped a spoonful of thick milk soup and poured it over, and sprinkled pink shrimp skins and green chopped green onions. The appearance should not be too good-looking.
The men didn't even need to say hello from Xiaozhu, and they didn't go in to find a seat. They just stood at the door and watched Lin Dan cook the noodles. After they were cooked, they took them away and quickly ate them. Eat to eat, or hometown taste the best.
The aroma is still radiating, and the diners are looking for batch after batch. Lin Dan will adjust the taste according to the requirements of each diners. The people from Shuzhou add peppercorns, bean paste and other things to make it spicy; people from Huxiang adjust the taste. It has a spicy and sour flavor; there are also hot and sour flavors, onion flavors, etc. For those who don’t like soup, they can be made into dry noodles or oil-splashed noodles. There are all kinds of flavors.
It is said that it is difficult for everyone to talk, but when it comes to her, it does not seem to be such a difficult thing.
