It was just dawn, and the roosters in Zhaojiacun had already started to use their loud voices, showing off their singing voices one after another. When the first rooster crowed, Li Anran once again practiced the mysterious skill of forgetting both things and myself.

After waking up from the state, not only did I not feel sleepy after not sleeping all night, but I felt more energetic.

After getting up from the collapse, he moved his body, which was not numb from sitting cross-legged all night, but Li Anran was not in a hurry to go to the river to practice swordplay.

"On the runes that reappeared during the practice last night, how come three out of ten of the nodes that look like acupuncture points light up?"

Recalling the strange things he discovered during his previous practice, Li Anran thought for a while but couldn't come up with any reasonable explanation, so he could only keep it in his mind for the time being. After washing up, Li Anran changed back into his Taoist robe and took a whisk.

Carrying the long sword on his back, he came to the open space by the river not far from Zhao Er's house and began to practice his sword.

After finishing a set of Pure Yang Sword, Li Anran immediately felt that his strength, speed, bounce and nerve response had improved a bit. In particular, his senses were sharper. No, when practicing swordsmanship,

I noticed something was wrong in the grass on the other side of the river, but I didn't show it.

After hitting the Pure Yang Sword back and forth several times, Li Anran, who had finished his morning class, was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he took a walk by the river with his "magic weapon" mobile phone.

I have to admit that the environment in ancient times was indeed very good. Although Zhaojiacun is not a scenic spot, it will be regarded as a place with beautiful scenery in later generations. After turning on the forced flash, Li Anran chattered and took pictures, and then

Then he nodded with satisfaction, stuffed his cell phone into his treasure bag, turned around and left.

When they returned to Zhao Er's house, Zhao Er and his wife were already busy. Feeding chickens, cattle, and the pigs that Li Anran specially asked Zhao Da to buy from the county yesterday.

During this period of the Tang Dynasty, ordinary people basically only had two meals a day. However, at Li Anran's request, Zhao Er's family changed it to three meals a day.

After putting away all the Taoist robes and swords, Li Anran changed into a coarse Tang suit. While Zhao Er's family was busy, he got some white flour and kneaded it on the kitchen table. With the snow sugar and processed meat products

Through experience, Zhao Er and his wife Zhao Er are not surprised that this unique real person in their family is very good at eating.

But I am quite curious about this method of kneading noodles that I have never seen before. There is no way, who knows how to make authentic Lanzhou ramen? It has not yet appeared in this era.

In order to have noodles to eat the next morning, Li Anran not only asked Zhao Da to buy white noodles, but also went to the field to get some fluffy grass, dried it and burned it into ashes. Then he put it into a basin to make fluffy grass ashes.

The solution, after letting it sit for one night, becomes the key ingredient for making authentic Lanzhou ramen, flenghui water.

The traditional Lanzhou Ramen emphasizes "three times of water, three times of ash, and ninety-nine or eighty-one times of kneading." After improvement, the water and ash are directly mixed and dissolved, and the effect is better.

As for the method of Lanzhou Ramen, Li Anran learned it from his Lanzhou roommate in the same dormitory when he was in college. He even secretly learned some beef soup recipes. In addition to the chewiness of the noodles, the most important thing for Lanzhou Ramen is that

On the soup base and side dishes. Unfortunately, the cattle in ancient times were farm cattle, and it was strictly forbidden to kill them for eating.

Especially during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, due to the impact of the wars at the end of the Sui Dynasty, agriculture was greatly damaged. Everyone was recuperating and recuperating. Anyone who dared to kill cattle would be committing a serious crime. Fortunately, although there was no beef on hand, the bones cooked the first day

The thick soup is also very suitable for making ramen soup, especially the thick soup that is added with spices and simmered over low heat for a whole night. It is so fragrant that it makes people drool.

Taking advantage of Xia Tian's convenience, Li Anran, who woke up quickly and made noodles, used the dazzling techniques of Zhao Er and his wife to pull out a handful of noodles as thin as hair.

In normal Lanzhou ramen, the noodles are also very particular. Not only the flour and grass ash are used, but also the size of the noodles is also divided into many types.

Capillary, as the name suggests, is like hair. It is actually as thin as thin vermicelli, which is the kind of noodles Li Anran is pulling out right now.

Thin, this is slightly thicker than capillary, about as thick as an incense head.

Second, thin, this kind is a bit as thick as ordinary fried noodles.

Third-thin noodles are slightly thicker than second-thin noodles. They taste like thick vermicelli, but if the noodles are firmer, this one will have the best texture when chewed.

Leek leaves, as the name suggests, this kind of noodles is as wide as a leek leaf.

Da Kuan, this kind of noodles is like the wide noodles in Malatang, very wide.

The advantage of thin noodles is not only that it has a smoother texture, but also requires almost no chewing after entering the mouth. The biggest advantage for merchants is that this kind of noodles is very easy to cook. It only needs to be rinsed in a pot of boiling water for a few times before it is ready.

It saves a lot of firepower. But if the noodles are not pulled well, the capillaries will melt away as soon as they are put into the pot.

In the past, Li Anran would not have been able to pull noodles as well as he does now. But after his strength and body coordination improved a lot, it became a matter of course.

Knowing that Zhao Er and his wife would be very busy today, Li Anran first gave each of them a bowl of capillary soup. Then he used big bone soup to make the soup, and cut some bacon and mixed it with chopped green onions, coriander and diced side dishes.

Toppings. Mr. and Mrs. Zhao couldn’t say enough about whether this noodle is delicious before trying it, but judging from the appearance, this noodle will definitely arouse people’s appetite.

"Eat slowly, it's not enough. Tell me, how does this noodle taste?" Li Anran said with a smile, watching Zhao Er holding a bowl as big as his face and gobbling it down.

Feeling the delicate noodles melting together with the fragrant soup in his mouth, coupled with the elasticity of the bacon and the refreshing side dishes, Zhao Er, who really didn't know what words to use to describe it, could only hold back one word.

"good!"

Although this one-word compliment is far less pleasant than the gorgeous words, for Li Anran, this kind of compliment from the heart is what he likes best.

After feeling Goudan's big eyes flashing, Li Anran didn't waste any time. He laughed and started working again.

"I'll go! This noodle is so delicious!!"

When Li Anran himself squatted down outside the kitchen and took a big sip, he was also overwhelmed by the delicious, fragrant and smooth taste.

As soon as he ate so happily, he didn't stop talking. When Li Anran wanted to get himself a bowl of noodles, he realized that the large ball of noodles he had kneaded before had already been eaten.

“I don’t know if it’s because my appetite has improved, or because the ancient ingredients and spices are all natural, but this noodle tastes better than what I’ve made before.”

"The taste of bacon is still a bit off. If it can be paired with my best grilled barbecued pork and spicy oil, the taste will definitely be even better."

"If you take this out, you may not be able to make a lot of money in a short period of time, but if you make a steady stream of money and make a long-term living, it is absolutely fine."

"It's a pity that there are still too few people on hand at the moment. I have to make sugar candies, barbecue, and Lanzhou ramen. I won't be able to keep busy at all."

"And in this day and age, chili peppers have not yet been introduced from abroad. If you want to eat spicy food, you can only use Sichuan peppercorns and dogwood instead, but the taste will be quite different."

Thinking of this, Li Anran could only put the idea of ​​Lanzhou Ramen coming out in advance temporarily to the back of his mind. At this time, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao also rushed over.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Li Anran was not polite, and first asked Zhao Da to open up the earth pit where he had stewed all night, and take out the burned charcoal.

There are two types of charcoal, one is pine charcoal and the other is bamboo charcoal. It is said that fruit charcoal is best used for barbecue. Unfortunately, where is the fruit wood at the moment? I can only make do with it. Wait for the charcoal to be lit and put it into the oven.

After that, Li Anran took out the meat that had been marinated overnight and put it on the iron hooks he bought the day before.

A ring of meat was quickly hung in the square oven. Li Anran did not forget to mention some precautions during the demonstration, while Zhao Er and the others learned very seriously. Grilling barbecued pork over charcoal fire is still

Li Anran accidentally learned the technique from a chef. Different from ordinary barbecued pork, this kind of barbecued pork can not only be stored longer, but also taste very good.
