Chapter 42: The Seven Forbidden Hands and the Five Great Swords (1)
At 12:05, the fine-tuning conference will be held as usual, and friends are welcome to attend——
Seeing this, Nian Bing couldn't help but secretly exclaim, this must be the Noodle Shaking Technique that the master said. Cha Ji once mentioned to Nian Bing that in ramen, there is one of the most profound techniques called Noodle Shaking Technique.
Chaji himself can't do it either. By using the method of shaking the noodles with uniform force, the toughness and ductility between the surfaces are continuously increased during the collision. The surface shaking method is perfect for use on thin noodles, but Nian Bing
I am somewhat worried that if the noodles are folded into another layer, will they be cooked too finely when boiled?
Finally, the shock in front of him lasted until the water in the iron pot boiled. Minghui suddenly left the chopping board, pulled out his left hand like lightning, raised his right hand high, letting the 4,096 dough threads hang completely in the air, and raised his left arm to the chopping board.
Hold the noodle silk in the middle, and take it down with your right hand. During the process of stretching and pulling, 8,192 noodles appeared, and not a single noodle was broken. It looked like a miracle.
Breathtaking.
With a slight flick, the noodles returned to the length of 4,096 noodles. Minghui threw away his left hand and easily put the noodles into the boiling water with his right hand. The iron pot was very large, with a diameter of more than one meter.
, Minghui placed the noodles on the edge of the iron pot, and then immediately picked up a pair of chopsticks. The front ends of the chopsticks were separated to both sides. Instead of picking up the noodles, they quickly spun them around the boiling water in the center of the iron pot. At this moment, she
Her hands suddenly turned milky white, and in the steaming heat, they were as transparent as crystal pearls. When the water droplets condensed by the steam appeared on her hands, it reminded Nian Bing of what Cha Ji had said: The vast sea
The moon pearl has tears.
The stirring was getting faster and faster, and the whole pot of water was spinning rapidly under the driving force of the pair of chopsticks, and the noodles were also rotating rhythmically. The originally boiling water stopped bubbling due to the rapid stirring.
Nian Bing exclaimed: "I understand, this is the water-breaking noodle-preserving method, it's amazing." Water-breaking noodle-preserving method refers to stirring the boiling water into a vortex, so that although the temperature of the whole pot of water reaches the boiling point, it does not
Boiling, in this way, when cooking things, the food can be heated evenly, and the shape will not be affected by the bubbles brought when the water boils. The requirement of rotation is not difficult, and any chef can use it as long as he has practiced for a long time.
The chopsticks stirred a pot of water into a vortex. The difficulty was that she was stirring boiling water. Although her hands did not touch the water, the temperature above the boiling water would never be low. This required that the chef should not be affected by the boiling water in any way.
In addition, the hands need to be stable, so this method of breaking the water and protecting the face becomes very difficult.
The chopsticks suddenly left the water, and the boiling water in the iron pot was still spinning rapidly under the action of inertia. Minghui took a large bowl, opened an iron bucket next to it, and filled out the light yellow soup. The soup looked like
It is very transparent, without a trace of impurities in it. When placed in a bowl, when it is still, it looks like a huge citrine. This is the prepared beef soup.
The chopsticks were thrust into the pot like lightning, and Minghui picked it up gently. All the noodles were left out of the boiling water and put into the bowl. After the steaming noodles were immersed in the beef broth, the bowl suddenly became half full. Minghui
With the chopsticks in Hui's hand, he cleverly moved the noodles to first turn clockwise in the beef soup, then turn counterclockwise again, and then stopped. The slightly yellow noodles were neatly placed flat on the bottom of the bowl. He took them away.
Use a large iron ladle to scoop out a ladle of hot noodle soup from the pot and pour it on top. Then you reach into the iron bucket and pick out a few paper-thin strips of meat about an inch wide and a few slices of meat.
Put the white radish cooked in the beef soup on top of the noodles. Finally, pinch a handful of coriander and sprinkle it into the noodle soup. Then put the bowl down and add a few drops of bright red chili oil.
"Beef noodles in clear soup, please try it." Minghui's forehead was already slightly sweaty, her hands returned to their original flesh color, and she looked at Nian Bing, her eyes full of confidence.
Nian Bing didn't say much, nodded to her, took the chopsticks in Minghui's hand and started eating.
"I want to eat too, please save some for me. Hey, don't eat so fast." Xue Jing was dissatisfied and wanted to grab Nian Bing's noodles. Nian Bing actually didn't eat fast at all. He just ate a few noodles and one piece.
Just beef strips and a sip of noodle soup.
Handing the chopsticks to Xue Jing, she sighed softly and looked at Minghui with admiration in her eyes, "I'm convinced. This is the first time I sincerely admire a chef since I left the master. The beef noodles you make are absolutely amazing."
These are the four words for top-grade pasta.”
Minghui Chou's face turned slightly red and he said, "Brother Nian Bing, you have given me a reward."
"Wow, it's so delicious. I usually don't like noodles the most, but why are these noodles so delicious? Minghui, why are your noodles so thin, but not soft at all? Each one is so somersaulty.
, it tastes great, and the noodles are not sticking to each other at all. And this meat, is this the beef you cut? It tastes really good, and the soup is good, it should be beef bone soup, um, no, beef
The bone soup doesn't seem so fresh! And the aroma is a bit strange. It's obviously the aroma of beef soup, why do I have a special feeling?" Xue Jing's originally elegant eating attitude was completely gone. The beef noodles were not hot, except for Nian Bing.
After eating a little, the rest went into her stomach in a while.
Minghui covered his mouth and chuckled, saying: "Sister Xue Jing, eat slowly. If you still want to eat, I will cook it for you. Don't be anxious!"
Nian Bing smiled and said: "She is already very good at being able to spell so many. She is worthy of being the successor of Qingfengzhai. Minghui, let me tell you about the characteristics of your clear soup beef noodles. You can see if what I said is correct.
"After pondering for a while, he continued: "The beef noodles you made have the essence of traditional beef noodles. Its characteristics of one clear, two white, three red, four green and five yellow are fully reflected. One clear is the soup clear, and the second white is the radish.
The slices are white, the third red is chili oil red, the fourth green is coriander green, and the fifth yellow is noodle yellow. The refreshing, bright and rich colors stimulate people's appetite. Not only that, but you also add your own innovation, just the fineness of the noodles.
, that's what I can't do. The noodle shaking method is really magical. It can pull the noodles so thin and still maintain a certain degree of toughness. It is much thinner than the silk, but it is still strong and won't.
Affects the taste. What I admire the most is the method of breaking water and protecting the noodles with your hands. Even my master can't do it. I think your right hand must have done some special skills to make it not afraid of being burned. However, in the heat,
Under fumigation, it is not enough just to not be afraid of burning your hands. Without firm willpower, it is absolutely impossible to keep your hands stable. I really admire it! The noodles are good, and the soup is also good, as Jinger said
, your beef soup is made from beef bones and the best beef plus refined butter. However, it is not just that simple. You added at least three kinds of herbs to this beef soup, but these herbs not only do not
Affecting the taste of beef soup, it will fully bring out the umami flavor of beef soup. At the same time, the flavor of the herbs themselves will also be integrated into the beef soup. After feeling the umami flavor of the beef soup, you will immediately feel the herbs.
The aroma brought by it, the two flavors are perfectly mixed together, and it becomes this ultimate beef soup, which is really great. As for the beef, it is not simply cut into pieces, but in its own form, which is the most delicious on beef.
The meat here is not the beef eye meat from the chest, nor any thick meat or muscle, but the beef rib meat on the ribs. The beef rib meat itself is very tough, and at the same time it is the easiest place to get the flavor. Use it to
Beef noodles are really the best choice! Taking all these into account, I dare say that there will never be a beef noodle soup in clear soup that can surpass yours in the entire continent. I am convinced, completely convinced."
Minghui's eyes flashed with surprise, "Brother, what you said is absolutely correct. Except for the three herbs that you couldn't name, the others are exactly the same. You are worthy of being the Demon Chef of Ice and Fire!"
Xue Jing caressed her stomach with satisfaction, came to the two of them, and looked at Nian Bing with some confusion, "Beef noodles are indeed delicious, but is it really as complicated as you said? Sister Minghui, you
Don’t be afraid to hit him. Even if you hit him well, I support you. I think he must have made something wrong.”
Minghui shook his head and said: "No, there's nothing wrong at all. Even if it's from me, it's just the names of the three more herbs. Brother Nian Bing's cooking skills must be better than mine.
Well. Brother, it’s your turn now, I want to see what your ice and fire cooking skills are like, is that okay?”
Nian Bing smiled and said: "After eating your delicious clear soup beef noodles, how can I hide my clumsiness?" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Xue Jing, she was the one who really ate more, and he hadn't had time yet.
If I eat any more, there will be only an empty bowl left. My poor stomach!
Although he was thinking this in his mind, Nian Bing did not stop. When he walked to the chopping board, he thought about it and quickly decided what he wanted to do. He washed his hands first, then lifted the cloth and took it out.
A piece of noodles that was exactly the same as Minghui just now, smiled slightly, and said: "After eating your noodles, I will make you a bowl of noodles as a courtesy. Yours is beef noodles in clear soup, and mine is the best cold noodles. Here it is.
I don’t have the materials I need, so I have to borrow your trickery.” As he spoke, he started the process of kneading the dough. He knew that if he didn’t use any special skills, he would definitely be looked down upon by Minghui, and he didn’t want others to say
He relies on magic to cook delicious food.
The noodles quickly turned into a round ball in Nian Bing's hands. His hands moved slowly, with full force every time. Gradually, his movements began to become faster, and each time he pressed, he kneaded the noodles into different shapes.
Form, as the movements became faster and faster, Nian Bing's wrist was rubbed back and forth with his palms as if there were no bones. The shadow of his palm completely wrapped the face in it, and the existence of the face could no longer be seen. The shadow of his palm was like a
The ball completely covers the face.
Minghui's eyes widened and he took a breath of cold air, "This is the method of dividing muscles and bones and kneading dough, and it actually exists."
Xue Jing said in surprise: "Split the muscles and bones? Could it be that the joint between his hand and wrist was detached?"
Minghui shook his head and said: "No, this method of kneading dough is very difficult to practice. The main reason lies in the flexibility of the wrist. Only by training the wrist to twist in any direction can it be successful. Just
It's like the muscles and bones are detached. This method of kneading dough has another name, it is called the Ruyi Hand that separates the tendons and bones. It is one of the seven forbidden hands of pastry chefs along with my water-breaking method.
Hands can enhance the strength of the dough to the extreme while maintaining the moisture of the dough itself. Generally speaking, the dough kneaded by this method must be combined with a special cooking method. Otherwise, even if it is cooked, you will lose it.
I can't bite. There is a saying in our culinary industry that as long as you master one of the seven forbidden hands of pastry chefs, you can become a top pastry chef. I only know how to break the water and protect the noodles, ranking among the seven.
The fourth place in the forbidden hand, I didn’t expect that Brother Nian Bing would be ranked third in the split tendon and bone ruyi hand. It seems that I am not as good as him in the pastry!"
Nian Bing's movements stopped without any warning. He turned to Minghui and smiled slightly, saying: "No, you are wrong. The seven forbidden hands cannot prove anything. As a top pastry chef, you also need to comprehensively
All kinds of abilities. In terms of pastry accomplishments, I can never compare to you."
With a flash of green light, the Aotian Sword appeared in Nian Bing's hand, the blade groaned slightly, and spiritual energy overflowed.
"Good knife, is this your kitchen knife?" Minghui asked in surprise.
Nian Bing smiled slightly and said: "It is one of them. For pure knife skills, it is most suitable to use it. The name of the knife is Aotian, which can also be called the Qingyin of the Wind of Freedom. I can't match your fineness, so I will use one.
Please be careful." The wrist of his right hand made a strange turn, and he lifted the Aotian Knife upside down, and his left hand held the round dough that was a full circle smaller than before and straightened it out.
Minghui knew that what Nian Bing was going to do next was by no means simple. She saw a look in Nian Bing's eyes that was more focused than her own, but strangely, the object of his concentration was not the face, but the knife, the free handle.
The whisper of the wind - Aotian Sword.
The water in the iron pot was still rolling. Nian Bing's knife finally moved. It seemed to be very slow. It seemed to be a blue mist. However, the shadow of the knife could no longer be seen clearly. He could only vaguely notice that the tip of the knife was
Punch down into the dough.
While the wrist was trembling, a piece of white noodles was picked into the pot. This was a prelude. Then, pieces of white noodles, as if threaded, drew a string of white lights composed of noodles three inches apart.
With the sound of water pouring into the pot, Nian Bing moved very quickly, always holding the handle of the knife behind his back, his expression was very relaxed, and his eyes were always on the unclear shadow of the knife.
Minghui seemed to have thought of something, and walked quickly to the iron pot. When she saw the noodles rolling in the boiling water in the pot, she was completely stunned, and she slowly uttered four words, "Jin—
