Old Hsu Kee Noodle House

Xu Zhenbiao kneaded the dough unhurriedly, then poured all the oil residue in with a whoosh, and began to move vigorously. Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of oil residue being crushed in the basin, and it was all counted in a short while. Kneaded it into the dough, then poured the green onions, and kneaded and kneaded until the hearts of those who watched them were about to be broken, Xu Zhenbiao breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to get the pan.

In fact, as he grew up and learned cooking skills, he always used the oven when making this food, but he thought it was better to fry it in a pan to get the original taste. Every time Ms. When holding the heavy and large iron pot in their house, Xu Zhenbiao stared at it in fear, afraid that the pancakes in the pot would be thrown out.

Now thinking of the scene at that time, he pursed his lips and smiled, saying that Mother Xu hadn't done it for a long time, and now they don't like the leftover oil residue after boiling lard, so they just mixed some sugar and tasted it. Try it early, and if you can't finish it, take it and distribute it to the neighbors.

Flatten small balls of dough and put them on the pan without adding oil, just hold the pot and cover it and turn it over a small fire. This is the most time-consuming time. It takes more than ten minutes to turn in circles, and then you have to turn over and continue turning. It is natural for your arms to be sore.

He was doing it here, but there was already a strong scent of scallion oil cakes in the air. Jiang Xun sniffed it and smiled.

The little apprentice uncle on the door over there breathed the aroma in the air hard, you look at me and I look at you, one of them muttered,

"I don't know if there is any part for us to try."

Another ten minutes passed, and Xu Zhenbiao's arms were so painful that it was almost not his own. He looked at the color of the pancakes and felt that it was almost done. He turned off the heat with a snap and put down the pot, then began to turn his arms and neck with a sad expression on the spot. Jiang Xun He coughed to remind him to quickly put on a plate, so he quickly found a plate, and used chopsticks to put the pancakes in the pan one by one.

Xu Zhenbiao was a little nervous, but he was also looking forward to it. The oil residue pancake might not be delicious, but it was really the best memory of his childhood. Often because of the ownership of the last pancake, he and his sister would fight to the death. Although Xu Yan must have won in the end, he could also get the last piece, which he could eat in his pocket and reluctantly eat all day long.

Jiang Xun and his little apprentices looked at the pancakes on the plate. The pancakes were golden in color and attractive, like peach cakes, but not greasy. Aroma, they are firm, this pancake must taste good.

Mr. Fu had already smelled the scent of scallion oil in the air, so his expression was quite relaxed. He didn't dislike scallion oil-flavored snacks.

So when Xu Zhenbiao came in with a plate, what he saw was Mr. Fu's smiling face.

Lao He craned his neck to look at what he made, just like asking whether his son-in-law is a material that can be made. He frowned slightly when he saw what looked like scallion pancakes on the plate, thinking that it was not good-looking at all. pancake! !

Li Zhi looked at him with admiration, because he felt that this man could use suet as raw material, so he seemed to have an idea!

Lao Xie sat next to Mr. Fu calmly. It wasn't that he had any small thoughts, but that he didn't have any thoughts at all. He just thought that this kid should do more, right?My old man is the tallest among the apprentices, so he should be able to eat a whole one.

Xu Zhenbiao was very embarrassed, he knew that what he made could not be put on the table, it was simply a small snack in the home-cooked dishes, in front of these chefs, he could only lose face, but he felt that he at least made it with his heart, if they thought It didn't taste good, so I took the rest back to my mother and father to taste. They haven't eaten it for a long time. I don't know if Brother Xue wants to eat it?

Mr. Fu looked at the dishless pancakes in front of him, then reached out to pick up a piece, sniffed it, and didn't show any expression, but Xu Zhenbiao's heart tightened, thinking that I was done...

The old man took a small bite out of his mouth, and Xu Zhenbiao nervously picked at the corner of his clothes, which was about to rot.

He thought, old man, if it tastes bad, don’t eat it?Look at you frowning like a Shar Pei...

51———————————————

Lao Xie watched helplessly as Mr. Fu put his hand into the plate again. This was already the third piece he had eaten. Lao Xie kept his eyes on the last two pieces, thinking that there must be one piece for him. ?

Mr. Fu took a bite of the crispy pancake in his hand, and said,

"Thank you."

"Eh?"

Lao Xie's eyes lit up, and Master Xin Dao finally felt that he wanted to give them a taste?

Mr. Fu glanced at the teapot on the table,

"Pour tea."

"..."

Xu Zhenbiao's thumping feeling in his heart gradually faded away. He saw that the old man had already eaten the third piece of pancake, and he knew that it should be pretty good, so he stood obediently by the side, the nervous expression on his face was still nervous, but it was gone. Timid at first.

Mr. Fu drank a cup of scented tea and stopped eating pancakes because he was already full. He waved his hand and asked Lao Xie to take the remaining two yuan. over here.

The old gentleman raised his eyes to look at Xu Zhenbiao, his face was still very serious, but his eyes softened a lot, and asked him,

"how old are you."

Xu Zhenbiao was nervous and stammered,

"Two... twenty..."

"Ah."

Old Mr. Fu didn't expect this young man to be so young, and he was more than satisfied. He also saw that he was upright and honest, so he asked,

"Would you like to learn from me?"

Xu Zhenbiao was stunned for a moment before he could react, but the uncles grabbing the pancakes over there were already coughing and coughing, and it was only on his side that he realized that his eyes were as round as a ping-pong ball in shock, Voices raised an octave,

"what!?"

Mr. Fu said,

"I see that you have some talent, and you plan to take in the last apprentice. Do you want to worship me as your teacher?"

Lao He was so happy that he was about to jump up, so he said that this kid is not bad!It seems that our master has also taken a fancy to it!No, no, I have to call my daughter over to have a look tomorrow!Although he is a little young, but if he wants to become my junior brother, it is not all under my nose. I will promote him well at that time, and the future will be infinitely bright!After thinking about it, the folds on Lao He's face were so folded that they could kill flies. He walked over and kicked Xu Zhenbiao's calf, who was stunned, and he knelt down tragically after hearing a plop.

"Quickly kowtow to Master!"

Old Xie over there also reacted, and brought a cup of tea over to Xu Zhenbiao,

"Come on, toast this cup of apprenticeship tea, you will be regarded as our master's apprentice."

Xu Zhenbiao blinked and looked down at the cup of tea in his hand, then looked up at Mr. Fu who was sitting in front of him like a golden Buddha. It wasn't enough to digest, but he still knew what he was going to do. He sent the tea to the old man and shouted,

"Master, please drink tea!"

The old man who waited for the person took the teacup, and he knocked his head three times.

The gift is done.

Mr. Fu is very satisfied and in a good mood. He wants to pass on his unique skills to young people, but after a lifetime, he is still satisfied with these four apprentices. He wants to find one or two, but there is no one. Fate, although the younger apprentices under the four apprentices each have some skills, they are just too impetuous and only know how to cook, but they don’t know how to calm down and think about what each Sichuan dish tastes like, and how to express it Only by refining can the taste of each dish be highlighted. To put it bluntly, he only grasped the real thing, did not see the inner part clearly, had neither the comprehension ability nor the self-motivation, so he looked down upon it.

Today this kid is really good. Apart from his quick hands and feet, the things he makes are also good. Although it is only a small pancake with oil residue, it is more real and simple. If an ordinary chef is in front of him, he must What kind of snacks are made that they think are high-end and high-grade, but they have no atmosphere at all, they are all flashy, it may be okay to show off in front of some dignitaries, but in front of his old man, it is all rubbish!

Using the most common, ordinary or even the most inconspicuous ingredients, after simple but exquisite cooking, to make a simple but delicious food, this is the basic character of a chef who can become a real chef.

Mr. Fu smiled and looked at this young apprentice who was dozens of years younger than himself. He was a down-to-earth person.

Xu Zhenbiao looked embarrassed, scratched his head and giggled, Lao He kicked his ass again, reminded him in a low voice, then he stood up stupidly, and yelled softly at this heavyweight master ,

"Master~"

Mr. Fu nodded and said to him,

"Cooking is about putting your heart into it. You should put your heart into it. You should help them cut vegetables these few days."

Xu Zhenbiao solemnly agreed,

"Yes."

Mr. Fu stood up and wanted to go out. Li Zhi immediately helped the old man's arm. The old man said to Xu Zhenbiao while walking,

"Don't underestimate the cutting of vegetables. Everything is difficult at the beginning. The superb knife skills and speed can best and fastest retain the taste and essence of the ingredients. Different ingredients also have different cutting methods. The same ingredient can be cut with different knife methods. , the taste of making it must be very different, you can ask your Senior Brother He for advice on this."

Lao He patted his chest for protection,

"Master, don't worry, I will definitely
