The girl smiled slightly. Frankly speaking, her smile was uglier than ordinary people crying, "Every chef has something he is good at. I only know how to make noodles. Although the words "first-class noodles" are a bit exaggerated, I ask myself
, the things you make are worth the price of a gold coin.”
Nian Bing's heart was moved and he said: "I wonder if the girl knows a senior named Miao Chu. The other two kinds of pastries have been spread to the outside world, but not many people know the secret of the golden fragrant circle."
A trace of surprise flashed in the girl's eyes, "You can tell the origin of my cooking skills at a glance. Who are you?"
Nian Bing smiled slightly and said: "I'm just an ordinary chef. I have a friend who is a disciple of Senior Miao Chu. Therefore, I have a little knowledge of the cooking skills of Miao Chu. That's why I can recognize your chef."
art."
The girl's whole body was shocked, "Do you know Senior Brother Ming Yuan? But, he is in Ice and Snow City!"
Xue Jing's excited voice came from behind Nian Bing, "Are you Uncle Ming Yuan's junior sister?"
When the girl saw Xue Jing's beautiful face, she couldn't help but lowered her head in shame and said, "Yes, I am the master's close disciple. The master said that my senior brother has been in Ice and Snow City."
Xue Jing's eyes flashed as she seemed to have thought of something. She stepped forward and took the girl's tender hand affectionately, saying: "Come on, let's sit over there and talk. You call Uncle Ming Yuan senior brother. It seems that I am still lower than you."
It’s the same generation, hee hee.”
Watching the two girls walk aside and sit down, seemingly forgetting about themselves, Nian Bing couldn't help but reveal a helpless smile. However, he was very curious about the girl who called herself Junior Sister Ming Yuan.
In terms of attainments, he is by no means inferior to Ming Yuan, who is immersed in this art. Although the master said that he is very talented, since he has learned almost all cooking skills in the past eight years, there are very few who are specialized in it.
With the assistance of magic, he can become a top chef. But Nian Bing understands that if he wants to make a breakthrough in cooking, he must not always rely on magic. He must go through a long period of understanding and improve in all aspects.
Just fine.
When I walked to the table and sat down, I heard Xue Jing ask the girl: "My name is Xuejing. Uncle Ming Yuan is the chef of our Qingfeng Zhai. What is your name?"
The girl's eyes showed excitement, "My name is Minghui, are you from Qingfengzhai? My master once told me to go to Qingfengzhai to see my senior brother when I have free time. How is my senior brother now? Is he okay?
"
Xue Jing nodded and said: "Uncle Ming is very good, and he doesn't cook much anymore. But why have I never seen him make the donkey rolling and ginger sauce braised pork chops? Doesn't he know how to do it?
?”
Minghui nodded and said: "Yes, senior brother probably won't. These two kinds of noodles were learned by the master in exchange for his cooking skills when he took me to travel abroad. The master has not seen his senior brother for many years. In
When traveling outside, you can gain a lot of knowledge. For example, this ginger juice steak, local children have a nursery rhyme to praise it, buy a pack, spare a pack, Chilu steak, pour ginger juice, big
Twist twists, shredded pork chops, and ten kinds of brocade flowers, one big bag is like crystal, sweet and crispy in the mouth. Together with the twists from the Qilu Empire, they are two famous snacks of Qilu."
Hearing this, Nian Bing couldn't help but ask: "Where is Senior Miaochu now? I think he would like to ask for more advice."
Minghui smiled slightly, and the buck teeth in his mouth looked more prominent, "The master is not here. After he left me to work here, he left alone. He said that he would let me practice here for a few more years. I
I don’t know where he went.”
Nian Bing said sincerely: "Miss Minghui, your cooking skills are already very superb."
Minghui was a little shy, with a blush on his fair face. He shook his head and said, "Actually, that's not the case. The master said that although I have good talent, my memory is poor, so he doesn't want me to learn all kinds of cooking at the same time like my senior brother."
He said, in that case, although I can become a good chef, it will be difficult for me to become the top culinary master in the mainland. Instead, I might as well just learn one of the cooking skills. In that way, I will have no hope of becoming a top chef.
It was very big. So, later on I chose pastries without the smell of blood. My goal is to become a top pastry chef."
Only learn pastry? Nian Bing couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, but he agreed with Miao Chu's approach. Cha Ji once told him that if it weren't for the fact that he had the magic of ice and fire, he also hoped that he could learn from the cooking skills.
Learn one way, so that you can master one thing first, and then continue to develop in other aspects. Later, because adding magic to the kitchen can make the food ever-changing, Cha Ji decided to let him develop in all aspects at the same time. Through long-term practice and his own
Learn to gradually improve your cooking skills.
Smiling slightly, Nian Bing said: "You are already a top pastry chef now. I think even Senior Miao Chef, at your age, may not be able to make pastry at your current level. Ming
I have learned the chef's cooking skills, but apart from the golden fragrant rings, I'm afraid I can't compare to you in other skills."
When Minghui heard Nian Bing's praise, the blush on his face deepened, "This eldest brother is so complimentary. In fact, this is all thanks to the master. Without his careful training, I would not be where I am today. Master
He taught me for twelve years. From the age of five, I started to learn how to knead dough from the master. When I was fourteen years old, I walked with the master on the mainland. After three years of training, the master summed up the essence of noodles from various places.
Integrating it into my pastry cooking skills has enabled me to achieve this level of success today. However, compared with a truly good chef, I am nothing. After all, I am just a pastry chef."
Nian Bing shook his head and said: "No, Miss Minghui, you are wrong. Although you are only a pastry chef, if you can do your best in this area and become the number one pastry chef in the mainland, then your
Your achievements will never be lower than those of any other chef. You must have confidence in yourself! As a good chef, humility is a must, but you must not feel inferior. If you want others to recognize you, you must first recognize yourself.
Do you understand?"
Minghui looked at Nian Bing deeply, and after a while, she suddenly smiled, "Your tone feels so kind, like my master. If the master sees you, I'm afraid he will be very happy. You will definitely be able to talk.
." At this point, he turned to Xue Jing aside and asked: "Sister Xue, I heard from a business traveler a few days ago that a very powerful chef appeared in Ice and Snow City, and he is also a magician.
I can integrate magic into my cooking skills to make the dishes have many special flavors. I don’t know if this is true.”
Xue Jing glanced at Nian Bing and said with a smile: "Of course it's true, and this chef once worked in our Qingfengzhai." Neither she nor Nian Bing had any doubts about Minghui. After all, others can
It may be fake, but the cooking skills cannot be faked, especially the exquisite pastry skills.
Minghui said in surprise: "Really? Is his cooking skills really as magical as those business travelers said? I really want to see what effect the combination of magic and cooking skills will have, but unfortunately I don't know magic, otherwise
I must try it too.”
Xue Jing's smile became even brighter, "It's not easy to know whether his cooking skills are as magical as the legends say. Why don't you try it yourself?"
Minghui was stunned and said: "Teach me? But he is in Ice and Snow City. Do I want Ice and Snow City to teach me? I really can't live without people here."
Xue Jing smiled and said: "It's not easy to learn from him. You can do it without even leaving the door here, because he is right here."
Minghui was obviously a little slow-minded and still didn't understand what she meant. He looked at Xue Jing in confusion. Xue Jing turned her gaze to Nian Bing and whispered: "The Ice and Fire Demon Chef you mentioned is far away in the horizon and right in front of you.
ah!"
Minghui looked at Nian Bing with wide eyes, "You, are you the legendary Ice and Fire Demon Chef?"
Nian Bing smiled bitterly and said: "I am not an old antique. Never use the word legend to describe me. However, I am indeed the chef you mentioned who uses magic to cook. You can call me Nian Bing."
The excited light in Minghui's eyes cannot be concealed. Just like when Nian Bing met Ming Yuan for the first time, only chefs of their level will have this special feeling when meeting chefs of at least the same level.
He felt as if he was seeing a relative, "That's great, then I must learn from it. Brother Nian Bing, can you come to the kitchen with me?"
Nian Bing smiled and said: "I also want to learn the art of pastry from you. Frankly speaking, in terms of pastry alone, I can never compare to you."
Minghui took the initiative to take Nian Bing's hand, completely forgetting the difference between men and women, and pulled him towards the kitchen. Because of Minghui's appearance, Xue Jing was not jealous at all, and followed the two of them in with a smile.
In the kitchen, as the future heir of Qingfengzhai, how could she miss this kind of competition between top chefs?
The kitchen of Yipin Noodles is large, but empty. As Minghui said, she is the only chef here, and there is no one to help. The most eye-catching thing in the kitchen is the huge chopping board, with a clean one on the left.
It was covered with cotton cloth. Without looking, Nian Bing knew that there must be various kinds of dough underneath.
"Minghui, what kind of pasta are you best at? Can I try it? I haven't had enough of those snacks just now." Nian Bing put forward his request with a smile.
Minghui said: "My best thing is beef noodles, please give me some advice from Brother Nian Bing." As she said that, she opened the lid of the stove below and boiled a pot of water.
Beef noodles sound very ordinary, but Nian Bing knows that the beef noodles made by Minghui are not simple. Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Minghui take out a strip of noodles from the bottom of the chopping board. The noodles were cylindrical.
, about half a foot long and as thick as a woman's forearm, she looked at Nian Bing, "I wonder what kind of noodles brother wants to eat? Thick, thin, wide, flat, please choose one."
Nian Bing smiled and said: "Among the noodles, thin noodles are the ones that require the most cooking skills. I will eat the thin ones, which are easier to digest. Noodles are divided into several types according to their thickness, namely two-pillar, two-thin, thin, and capillary.
, Yiwosi, I think the thin noodles you make will definitely be thinner than Yiwosi, please."
"Okay." After a simple answer, Minghui's eyes suddenly changed. This kind of eyes was very familiar to Nian Bing. It was the perfect unity of concentration and concentration. Her eyes were staring at the surface of the chopping board, and her hands were lightly
Slowly push back and forth to make the noodles slowly become longer. Nian Bing knows that this is to feel the toughness of the noodles. Different toughness means different methods of making noodles. Even if you knead the noodles yourself, you need to make them before making them.
You need to fully feel it, otherwise, deviations may easily occur.
Xue Jing whispered: "Nian Bing, is there any special seasoning in her beef noodles? Is there a secret recipe?"
Nian Bing shook his head and said: "If she relies on special seasonings or secret recipes, she can't be called a top pastry chef. I think what she makes is ordinary beef noodles. Keep reading, it will definitely be the same as what you usually eat.
The beef noodles are different. It can be seen from her technique that she uses the ramen technique. This method can make the noodles reach the thinnest level. The highest state is that when the ramen is completed, there is no disconnection and it is completely
A whole stick, so the top ramen is also called one stick noodles, or the best longevity noodles."
Just when Nian Bing was explaining to Xue Jing, Minghui moved. He held one end of the ramen with each hand and slowly raised it. The look in his eyes was still so concentrated, and his eyes moved with his face. At this moment, it seemed that the noodle
It seemed to have become one with her body.
At first, she moved very slowly, stretching her face to both sides, keeping it in a cylindrical shape. Suddenly, she shook her hands down hard, and the top of her hand instantly became longer, and she hit the chopping board with a bang.
The moment the noodle bounced up, she put the noodle of her left hand into her right hand like lightning, and at the same time, her left hand passed through the curved noodle, elongating it instantly. This was the process of changing from one to two.
Minghui's movements began to become faster, so fast that it was dizzying. The white noodles seemed to come alive in her hands, constantly interspersed and folded. The original cylindrical noodle blocks soon turned into filaments. Nian Bing kept
Counting, in just a short while, the small noodle has turned into 4,096 noodles. Nian Bing also learned ramen noodles. He asked himself, with such a small noodle,
, the most she could do was to this extent without making the face stop. However, Minghui did not stop the movements in her hands, but only slowed down from the original speed. Her hands were trembling slightly at the same time, as if she could not hold them.
It seemed as if the noodles in her hands were wet, but her hands were trembling very rhythmically. The 4,096 noodles were trembling slightly like hairs in the trembling of her hands.
When the noodles touch each other, because the noodle threads are extremely thin, the trembling of Minghui looks so thrilling, as if these noodle threads may break at any time.
