I bought the shop, but there were no activities.
Sitting on the platform on the fourth floor, Lu Yu looked at the hall below with his feet tilted, and then smiled: "Actually... I always wanted to open a store."
"Opening a shop?"
Jiang Yi sneered on the sidelines: "Do you want to do this kind of flesh trade too?"
"Hahaha! I don't have that much courage," Lu Yu said with a smile: "I am actually very selfish and evil. I hope that all the women in this world belong to me. … Um, is it more than 930 billion? I'm only short of 930 billion, just a little bit..."
"Puff!"
Jiang Yi couldn't help but laughed, watching Lu Yu's face seriously, and then asked: "Then what do you want to do?"
Lu Yu said, "Do you know why I am coming back to the capital this time?"
Jiang Yi: "I can't stay in the academy anymore."
"Uh..." Lu Yu was stunned, and then said embarrassedly: "No... not only for this reason, but also, I want to..."
Lu Yu said halfway, and the corner of his eyes twitched: "The good atmosphere has been ruined by you... Okay, okay, I actually came here to help the brother of the first princess get the throne."
Jiang together: "Oh? Do you want the Lu family to support him?"
"That's enough? Others value our Lu family, but we can't take ourselves too seriously. Joining the Lu family will not change anything, but will make the Lu family tied up with the prince suffer. The damage will be suppressed by His Majesty. After all... The current situation of the Lu Family, to be honest, most of them were given by His Majesty."
Jiang Yi was puzzled: "Then what are you going to do? Just go through... to open a shop here?"
Lu Yu smiled and said, "Well, I opened a shop, and then... I opened a restaurant."
"restaurant?"
"It's... a shop only for eating and drinking."
"You brat, you always like to say things that I can understand, but I don't understand at all. Damn it!"
…
So just like that, Lu Yu made a simple modification of Cuixiang Building and turned it into a restaurant.
What's more violent is that, except for the main hall in the middle, the second to fourth floors have not been remodeled, and there is no table or chair. Obviously, they are not going to let guests go upstairs.
In just three days, everything is ready, although the girls upstairs are all in danger, and... If there is no benefactor, there will be no income, and if there is no income, not only their own lives will be affected, but even those who rely on themselves People who can survive, including relatives, friends and subordinates, are afraid that they won't be able to survive immediately. But even in this atmosphere, this Cuixiang Building still opened.
Lu Yu did not have any opening celebrations, no firecrackers, no gongs and drums, and no ceremonies. At most, he just removed the twelve lanterns at the door and replaced them with four larger red lanterns. Of course, the people nearby simply I don't know the purpose of changing these lanterns.
Lu Yu didn't even prepare any dishes, so he just stood outside the shop, watching the people coming and going, and then grumbling shamelessly: "Huh? Why didn't anyone come in for dinner?"
I don't care at all, what they are going to eat when they come in.
Jiang Yi looked at him upstairs, watching how funny he was.
But he saw him looking at Dongfang with a look of nostalgia, and muttered: "I think of it now, it was in this direction before. As long as you walk a few steps towards the gate of the city, you can eat the noodle soup. I really miss it now, then. Today... it’s better to make noodles."
Lu Yu smiled lightly, turned his head and walked back to the Cuixiang Building, and went straight to the kitchen.
Noodles can be said to be the simplest diet. If you don't know how to make noodles at home, it is really a joke, and every family, I am afraid that they have their own tips for making noodles, which can be regarded as the taste of home.
Therefore, among restaurants, few cook noodles for a living, at least, not the main one.
Today, Lu Yu wants to make noodles.
He grinds the finest flour again, so that the smallest particles in the flour also become thin and light that can be melted into fingerprints with a light swipe of a finger.
Later, I took the deepest well water from the backyard, and when it came out, there was still ice crystals on the side of the bucket.
Using this kind of water to mix the noodles can make the noodles stronger and smoother.
Not only that, Lu Yu also added a broken spar to the face, and the spirit flow slowly came out, making the face look more white and shiny.
Making noodles is a science, and it is also the key to whether a pastry chef is diligent or not.
This is because this side can be reconciled no matter whether it is gentle or hard. On the surface, it is just a difference in the length of time.
But in fact, whether you use force or not determines the final taste of the noodles after forming.
And Lu Yu’s favorite method is to use a wooden stick that is at least the thickness of a man’s waist. The surface is smooth and shiny. It is pressed hard, flattened, flipped, and folded on the dough, and then continued to be pressed into the dough. cake.
After doing this reciprocating at least dozens of times, the moisture in the noodles evaporates in this seemingly non-stop action, making the noodles harder and harder.
In the end, it turned out to be like a stone, and ordinary people used their full strength to poke with one finger.
Until then, the egg was broken, the egg whites and yolks were stirred together, and sprinkled on the dough, after a while, continue to knead.
When the eggs are all mixed with the noodles and the whole noodles are slightly yellowed, roll it out with the big wooden stick.
Very thin, only slightly thicker than nails.
The whole piece is of this thickness, and it is a little bit transparent, and you can see the wood grain of the table under the pancake.
At this time, use a sharp knife to cut the noodles into noodles that are only one dollar wide.
Grabbing a handful and shaking it, the noodles are as flowing as a woman's hair, and then slammed it hard on the table, with a snap, indescribably crisp.
The preparation of the noodles is considered complete.
Take a large pot, fill the two large tanks with water, and boil it, like an orchid leaf. When the water has boiled for a quarter of an hour, a layer of white foam floats on the surface, then skim it off and remove the orchid leaf. After that, put in two whole chickens, 10 catties of fresh beef, 20 catties of lamb bones, and 10 catties of fish bones. Bake the fire to the maximum, cover the pot and press it with a boulder.
When the water boils, white gas is sprayed from the side of the pot, and the boulder is hopped on top of the pot, then the pot is boiled over low heat, and duck blood is placed along the side of the pot.
After a while, a thick layer of gray foam appeared in the pot, thickly looking like moss.
Use a large spoon to skim off the foam a little bit along the edge, and the soup exposed underneath is crystal clear, only a little more amber than the white water.
Then it was boiled on a slow fire, and the pot was covered and left alone.
Take a small pot, add spicy seeds, pepper, sesame pepper, star anise, clove, angelica, orchid leaf... and other twenty-seven flavors, of which twenty-one flavors are not commonly used by people in this world. Lu Yu walks all over. When I was in the mainland, I took advantage of my leisure time to collect all kinds of natural spices, or ordered to collect them.
Boil it for half an hour, and then fill in the minced meat of the'Sea Rainbow Beast' for several kilograms. This sea rainbow beast is a kind of land and sea amphibians living in the far north of the mainland. Because it preys in the sea all the year round, its meat is firm and elastic, and sometimes comes ashore. It is affected by the essence of the sun and the moon, so that the meat contains a little mountain and game, although At first I feel the fishy smell, but you only need to boil it over to get rid of the fishy smell. Instead, there is a natural aroma, which is sweeter, and its richness is ten times stronger than that of beef.
After adding the meat, boil it for an hour. After boiling, a scent comes out, making people unconsciously drain water.
But it was not over yet. Lu Yu took out a small bottle from the storage bracelet. This was a gray-black seasoning he used to "brewed" with several spices and mineral salt, which looked a bit like the world that used to be. Soy sauce, but the taste is stronger and more layered.
For example, if you take it directly, you will feel the umami taste in the salty and sweet taste, but if you boil it in warm water, the sweet taste will disappear in half an hour, and it will be replaced with a grassy aroma. If it is cooked on a high fire, put in the boiling oil. In the fire, there will be a scent of bay leaves... Layers on top of each other, there are dozens of different flavors, and different cooking methods will extract different flavors.
The small pot has been boiled for an hour and a half, the soup is almost dried up, add half of it, then pour in this seasoning, slowly open the lid and boil it with a slow fire, turn off the heat after another hour, and cover the pot. Let the various complex flavors gradually brew in the warm and confined space... brew a kind of delicacy that no one knows in this world.
In this way, the preparatory work is considered complete.
Lu Yu glanced at the sky. From morning to now, it was evening.
He smiled lightly, took out a handful of the thin yellow noodles, and shook the basket up and down in the cauldron eighty to ninety times. After a few breaths, he quickly took it out.
The basket with noodles and water was poured into a large bowl, exactly half a bowl of water, revealing a small portion of the noodles.
At this time, I lifted the lid of the small pot, took some out with a spoon, poured it in a bowl, on top of the noodles, cut some green onion, wormwood, and sprinkled it in the middle.
Turning around and placing the big bowl in front of Xiao Ruan, he whispered, "Try it, how does it taste?"
Grunt.
Xiao Ruan, who has always been calm and calm, couldn't help but swallowed his saliva.
The rest of the people were even more miserable. As early as when Lu Yu opened the lid of the small pot, the people in this Cuixiang Tower, no matter how thoughtful they were, were awakened by the smell and gathered together.
The smell is very strange, I don’t know if I like it or not, but I can’t help but want to smell it, mouth after mouth, before my heart understands it, my mouth understands it first, one mouthful His saliva flowed out of his own accord.
In such a huge kitchen, there is only the sound of people swallowing saliva.
Xiao Ruan picked up the chopsticks, picked up a ball of noodles, put it to his mouth and wanted to cool down a little bit, but took a breath, the strange aroma went directly into the nose and smashed the whole seven orifices, obviously energetic There was a shock, as if even the eyes could taste it.
Put it in your mouth and suck it lightly... The noodles are smooth, and all of them are sucked in with a chuckle, as if it got in by itself... Another bite, but it's surprisingly springy.
Just biting this action, it seems that there are several different levels of feeling.
First it was slippery, then it was soft, and then, like a broken leather whip, it exploded in the mouth, and even the slight noise of teeth hitting each other could be heard.
But then... Xiao Ruan forgot the charming taste.
Instead, the whole mind and body were flooded by that unspeakable smell.
Spicy, salty, fresh, not waiting to be swallowed, but sweet again, my throat seems to stretch out a small hand, abruptly trying to pull them into my stomach, but my tongue is unwilling, reluctant, I just want to Continue to hover in his mouth.
But in the end... was still swallowed.
Because the next chopsticks were handed to the mouth again.
Just like this one bite at a time, before Xiao Ruan could react, she ate a bowl of noodles.
Then, before Lu Yu could explain, he raised the soup bowl, drank all the soup, and then he hiccuped, his forehead, eyebrows and neck were all sweating.
A good meal... It's refreshing.
