Chapter 396 Dry Kidney Noodles (2)
Of course, the noodle shop is still open. After all, the couple eat and live in the shop, and the man has not returned home yet, so the door must be opened even if it is not open.
Seeing that the man came back in the middle of the night with a few diners, the lady who was dozing on the noodle shop table was a little surprised. When she learned the reason from the man, she smiled, got up quickly, rolled up her sleeves and walked to the stove hole Pre-ignition.
The man on the other side had already chatted with them about their trip to the Star Tower, and then sighed a few times. After such an accident happened to a minister of Dali Temple who was about to retire, he actually reacted to what Tang Yuan and the others said about the crowd. I care more.
Listening to Tang Yuan and A Bing lamenting that no one took action at that time, they could not help but sigh as they watched the group of people digging through Zhao Mengzhuo's body: "Although it does not violate the law, the situation... is really chilling."
"It's fine if you just keep silent and just watch the excitement," Tang Yuan sat down at the dining table, took the tea from the man, thanked him and said, "There is also a noble lady who makes sarcastic remarks, as if she is still a What kind of princess is here?"
The man smiled and continued chatting along with their words: "Maybe the princess doesn't know the sufferings of the world..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a voice.
"That princess is Princess Liyang." Wen Mingtang said, his eyes fell on the man's face, paying attention to his reaction at this time.
When the man heard this, the smile on his face paused, and then he said lightly: "That's not surprising!"
This reaction... Wen Mingtang thought for a while and then said: "When she first wanted to leave by force, she pushed down the Xingkang County Lord and others. After the matter of Zhaixing Tower was completed, the Xingkang County Lord came to look for Dali Temple. The official said that she lost a piece of jewelry given by the emperor in the Ladies' Pavilion. After throwing the jewelry, Princess Liyang and her party passed by, so they were suspected of being serious. At present, Dali Temple assigned two officers to go there with the minor officials. , is helping to find lost jewelry in the annex in Furong Garden."
When the man heard this, he sighed, "The jewelry given by the emperor is precious and cannot be thrown away!" Then he got up and went to the stove to start making noodles.
The lady who was lighting the fire in front of the stove saw him coming, raised her head and asked, "What kind of noodles are you making?"
"The pork kidneys soaked in the evening have lost their flavor, and they are just in time to make a bowl of dried kidney noodles!" The man said, glanced at the lady, and said, "When frying the kidneys, you need to use high heat."
The lady who was lighting the fire nodded when she heard this, and burned it for a while. When the fire in the stove was strong, she added another fire to the stove, got up, touched her earlobe, and asked the man: " Did you see the pendant on my ear? I've been looking for it all day! It was bought when you and I got married, so we can't throw it away!"
While taking the knife to cut the pork loin, the man touched his arms and said with a smile: "I saw it. I saw it by the food table before going out in the morning. He put the important things in his pocket... Huh? Where is the pendant?" I didn't have time to wipe my hands, so I touched my arms for a long time, and I started to get anxious, "Is it possible that I lost it at the customer's house?"
The lady who was lighting the fire immediately said, "That's terrible!" After saying that, without waiting for the man to speak, she hurriedly took off her apron and threw it aside, saying, "You make noodles here, I'll go to the customer's house." Get a pendant!”
The man nodded when he heard this and told her: "Be careful on the road!"
The lady said "hmm", said hello to Wen Mingtang, and quickly left the noodle shop.
Tangyuan looked at the lady leaving the noodle shop alone, and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something. The man who was cutting lychee flowers on the waist slices said: "It doesn't matter, my lady has some boxing skills, and besides, she has been walking all the way. It's a main road, and there's no curfew today, so it won't be in the way."
When he heard that the lady had some boxing skills, Tangyuan breathed a sigh of relief and returned his attention to the waist piece of the flower-cutting knife in the man's hand. He felt that the knife work was really beautiful.
There were no guests around at this time, and the three of them were all working in the kitchen. They couldn't hold it back and watched the man cutting vegetables and meat and making noodles, so they simply went over and walked nearby to watch.
In fact, she had learned from the man and his wife that what the man was about to cook was a bowl of dried kidney noodles. This made Wen Mingtang a little strange. Since this couple came from the Jiangnan area... As far as she knew, the food in Yangzhou area was very delicious. It is indeed a combination of noodles and kidney noodles, but it is dry noodles and kidney flower soup. The noodles without soup are seasoned with sauce and pork oil. The dry noodles are dry but not astringent. They have a smooth texture and a fragrant aroma. A bowl of pasta will be slightly dry after halfway through. Pair it with a bowl of kidney flower soup with green cabbage cores to moisturize your lips, teeth and tongue, and enhance the aroma of dry noodles. Therefore, they are a pair of famous " Match".
But at this time, the man simply combined the two things into one thing and made it into dried kidney noodles. Wen Mingtang couldn't help but wonder how he was going to make it.
After the man had cut the ingredients, he started making noodles. When the lady left, she lit both stoves, so the man started on both stoves at the same time. One stove was boiling water, while the other stove was heating up a pot and stir-frying the toppings.
With a "stack" sound, the cooked and drained noodles are added to the wok with toppings. The iron spoon makes a regular collision sound with the iron pot. The cooking bowls lined up on one side are placed aside. Look at that. With a smile, the man put the large cooking spoon into the palm-sized mixing bowl, as if there was a scale hidden in his hand, and added dry seasonings, all in one hand, stir-frying, coloring, thickening, and cooking—— The whole process went smoothly and smoothly, and a bowl of "Dry Mixed Kidney Noodles" was placed in front of the three of them with the steaming hot pot.
Looking at the kidney noodles wrapped in sauce, everyone couldn't help but move their index fingers. Without prompting, they all took their chopsticks, picked up the noodles and kidney noodles, wrapped them in the thick sauce, and put them into their mouths.
The cuts made by the knife are deep and thin, and the kidneys, which are not easy to taste, are fully absorbed by the sauce, and there is no smell at all. The noodles soaked in the kidney sauce have a smoother texture and are especially delicious.
Although it is said to be "dry-mixed", due to the presence of the sauce, this bowl of dry-mixed kidney noodles is not dry. Although it is stir-fried once in a pot, due to the short frying time, this bowl of dry-mixed kidney noodles is not dry. It uses less oil than fried noodles.
The texture of this bowl of noodles is somewhere between pure dry mixing and stir-fried noodles.
The sound of "sucking, sucking, sucking" was the best compliment for this bowl of dried kidney noodles. After the man finished making the noodles, he sat down with a smile and chatted with them.
Since they were half colleagues, they chatted happily once the chat started, from purchasing ingredients from the public kitchen to the food preferences of the officials and servants on weekdays, to the worrying future of their takeout stall when Princess Jing came here. Said.
After the three of them had finished eating their kidney noodles, and the soup was served again, and the man was talking about the sauce in the dry noodles and the shrimp roe, the sound of the watchman came from outside, and before he knew it, it had been an hour. After passing by, Wen Mingtang and others realized that it was too late today. When they stood up to say goodbye, they heard an exclamation coming from outside.
"Master, something happened!"
Along with the exclamation came the woman who went to the customer's house to get earrings. She hurriedly walked into the noodle shop and was obviously stunned when she met Wen Mingtang and the other three who had not yet left. It seemed that she had not expected The three of them haven't left yet, but they didn't pay too much attention to this. Instead, they exclaimed and said, "Then something happened to Princess Liyang!"
