"Boss boss, I'm leaving! Business is booming -" Yelina opened the car door handsomely, got into the driver's seat, and waved to the boss lady.
"Okay, drive slowly on the road!" The proprietress said goodbye with a bag of milk cakes in her hand.
Although their hotel is not large in scale, it has a good location. The surrounding area is open and can park many cars. It is easy to see from the photos on the background wall of the hotel that this hotel has a long history and has been operating since the last century.
Stand still.
In the back kitchen, a girl named Xiaoxi was struggling to chop mutton. She was Yu Jian who had changed her name.
Yu Jian stayed in Xishi for a long time. She was nostalgic for every bit of the Tang Dynasty, but the longer the time passed, the more melancholy she felt. The Tang Dynasty eventually disappeared in the long history. No matter how modern times reproduce it, they can only imitate a little bit.
It was just superficial. She looked at the prosperity below from the tower, and finally decided to leave.
So she traveled all the way to Xinjiang Province. Later, she accidentally saved the boss's wife.
"What's your name?" The landlady was so shocked at that time that she reluctantly asked her name.
She was stunned for a long time before answering: "My name is...Xiaoxi."
Later, the landlady kindly took her in, providing her with food and accommodation, and monthly wages. It happened that the original chef resigned. So she became a small cook in the back kitchen.
My heart felt inexplicably calm.
Heat oil in a pan, add mutton when the oil is hot, stir-fry until the water is dry, add ginger, green onion and garlic slices, then add salt and pepper to enhance the flavor, add dark soy sauce for color, stir-fry until fragrant, add spicy skin and continue
stir fry.
The unique spicy smell of chili erupted and swept the entire kitchen in an instant. When it is half dry, add diced tomatoes and let it completely melt into the mutton, then pour in boiling water and bring to a boil.
While the meat was cooking, she started kneading the dough. She added salt to the flour to increase the gluten. She poured cold water into it while stirring. When it became fluffy, she started stirring. The dough had to be kneaded three times, so that the dough would not stretch out no matter how long it came out.
Break. Brush the dough with some oil, roll it into a thin rectangle, quickly cut out small slits with a knife, then cover it with plastic wrap for the last time.
There was a sound of bubbles coming from the pot. When I opened the lid, I saw that the tomato soup inside had been boiled to a thick consistency. Combined with the smell of spicy skin and mutton, I felt fragrant just by smelling it. Xiaoxi held a bowl of ingredients in one hand.
, holding a spatula in one hand, quickly pour in diced green peppers and onions, and then add the remaining garlic cloves, stir-fry quickly with the spatula, then add seasonings to enhance the freshness, and then take it out of the pot.
The noodles of Spicy Noodles are not as thin as Yangchun noodles. They are thick and chewy noodles. Therefore, you need to pay attention to the skills when kneading the noodles. During the kneading process, the cylindrical noodles need to be beaten repeatedly and then pulled into thin strips. The same
He was pulling and beating at the same time.
The water in the big pot is also boiling, and Xiaoxi puts the prepared noodles into it and stirs it repeatedly. It is not easy to cook handmade noodles for too long, and they can be taken out in two or three minutes.
A large pot of noodles and a large pot of spicy skin were served on a long dining table. This is free pasta in the hotel, and guests can take it themselves according to their needs.
…
At 4:30 in the afternoon, vehicles began to stop in front of the hotel. The proprietress looked outside, pursed her lips and smiled. When she saw the visitor coming in, she greeted the visitor warmly: "It's a bit early today."
The taxi driver scratched his head and smiled honestly: "I took a customer to a neighboring city at noon. I just came back and I haven't eaten lunch yet!"
As he said that, he consciously walked to the cashier and scanned out ten yuan. Every time he came, he only ate meals that cost ten yuan. He could eat both meat and vegetables and was very filling. It was much more cost-effective than other places. He calculated
After that, even if you eat here every day, you will still have hundreds of dollars left. The taxi business is not easy to do now, so if you can save a little, it will be a profit.
"I made Spicy Noodles today, would you like to eat some first?" The landlady looked at his tired face and pointed not far away.
The driver's eyes lit up: "I like to eat spicy skin noodles the most. Let me try it." He quickly walked to the dining table, opened the lid of the basin, closed his eyes and smelled it. It was mixed.
The spiciness of the multivitamins made him nod his head with satisfaction, and kept saying: "Not bad, this is the taste."
"There is mutton soup on the side, pour it yourself!" the proprietress shouted from a distance, turned around, and entered the kitchen.
The driver made a plate of noodles, topped it with two spoonfuls of spicy skin, and poured a bowl of rich mutton soup. He laughed a little, rubbed his hands and started cooking. The spicy skin was juicy, and when mixed with chopsticks, the freshness of the mutton was revealed.
Fragrant, the spiciness of the spicy skin goes well with the unique smell of onions, which made the driver's eyes almost turn red.
Gently take a bite of the noodles, which are smooth and chewy. The noodles are so elastic that they can dance in your mouth. Then take a bite of the spicy skin full of mutton, which is plump, soft and fresh. Sometimes you can chew the clear meat texture, sometimes
You can lick it and feel the hot oil temperature, salty, fresh, spicy, and various flavors rolling around at the base of your tongue...
He couldn't stop eating at all.
Within two minutes, I had eaten a whole plate of spicy noodles, and then drank the thick mutton soup. In an instant, I felt as if all the fatigue was gone with the wind, and my whole body was filled with infinite strength.
At this time, the landlady came up with the meal. It was a divided stainless steel bowl. Large pieces of roasted chicken with potatoes took up more than half of the space. It was paired with two kinds of green and crispy vegetables. The rice was also covered with a small
Steak.
"Why...why is there still steak?" The driver was a little nervous and didn't dare to take off his chopsticks.
The proprietress pushed the dinner plate towards him and pursed her lips towards the kitchen: "Xiaoxi heard that you drove for several hours, so she fried it specially for you."
"Then I'll pay later..."
The landlady waved her hand: "No, I can still afford this. Eat quickly, we have to get out of the car later!"
The driver was a little moved and said "Hey" several times before slowly starting to eat the new delicacies.
The proprietress sat at the checkout counter and looked at this man with gray hair on his temples. She vaguely remembered that he seemed to be only in his forties and nodded. He was the first two children in the family and his wife had a serious illness early in his life and could not do heavy work. All the financial pressure on the family was suppressed.
It happened to him alone. He drove from morning to night, not daring to relax or slack off for a day.
Even when I was sick and felt extremely uncomfortable, I would just come to her for a bowl of ginger soup to rest my feet, and then continue on my way when I felt better.
Life does not always give people happiness and contentment, but sometimes it also brings suffering and torture. The landlady looked at the taxi driver who was eating a big meal, and felt a sigh of relief in her heart.
His eyes turned to the kitchen, and his eyes couldn't help but soften again. Although the little girl inside was usually silent, she saw everything.
This piece of veal steak sizzling with hot oil also brings out the soft side of the little girl's heart——
