Dishes that don’t shine are not good dishes

Overlapping

Seeing Grandpa Matsuoka’s appearance, Grandma Matsuoka couldn’t bear it.

Picking up a small piece of hamburger meat with chopsticks and putting it into her mouth, she followed in the footsteps of Grandpa Matsuoka.

Grandpa Matsuoka fixed his eyes on Grandma Matsuoka, or the small piece of hamburger meat in front of her.

Damn, I really want to eat too.

Perhaps his resentment was transmitted to Grandma Matsuoka through some unknown means, or maybe it was because of the sympathy between the two of them. Grandma Matsuoka covered her side face and raised her head with satisfaction, just in time to see Matsuoka The fleeting look of envy on Grandpa’s face.

“Hoo hoo ~”

Grandma Matsuoka smiled like a little fox.

“Honey, do you want to have another bite?”

“Yes, boss!”

In front of cooking and his wife, Grandpa Matsuoka completely lost his ‘dignity’… Well, at home, he didn’t have such a thing.

Grandpa Matsuoka and Grandma Matsuoka, who didn’t care about it and went into the mode of drying dog food and still enjoying it, returned to the counter and took the last dish, which is the ingredients needed for ramen, from the storage room one by one. take out.

Xie Yunfei didn’t complain about the fact that he could no longer improve his culinary skills with glowing dishes. He had already guessed that such a day would come a long time ago, but he didn’t expect it to come so fast and so suddenly.

Shaking his head, temporarily putting aside the distracting thoughts that arose in his heart, Xie Yunfei stretched out his hand, and took out the dough that he had prepared earlier from the plastic wrap.

After kneading into strips, use a knife to cut into similar-sized doses, and use the palm of your hand to round them up. Then, hold both ends with both hands, and gently pull toward the left and right sides.

In the blink of an eye, noodles with the thickness of three fingers appeared in front of Zhizhi Yunfei.

The hands are constantly moving, just like the replica of the dragon beard cakes in the dessert competition.

Pinch the palm of the left hand with the two ends together, and put the index finger and middle finger of the right hand together and go down along the gap in the middle of the noodles. After groping to the fold, use both hands at the same time to pull hard to the sides again.

The noodles became thinner again, turning into a diameter less than two fingers.

Continue to repeat.

The two ends are united, and the right hand is lowered, and at the same time, it is stretched to both sides.

Xie Yunfei’s movements are simple and direct, but if you observe carefully, you will find that with the increase in the number of stretches, standing behind the counter, the movements of his hands have produced a very obvious difference from the initial one.

It is no longer simply stretching outward with brute force, but using the noodles as a spring. After stretching to the extreme, the wrist is slightly bent to remove the rebound force generated when the noodles are recovered.

Once, twice, three times…

Unlike Feifei, who has a family tradition, Xie Yunfei only stretched the noodles ten times in total, that is, ten buckles.

The total number of noodles reached 1024. During this period, none of the noodles were broken. Even the parts that were held by Xie Yunfei’s left hand became the same thickness as other parts under Xie Yunfei’s careful handling.

Put the pulled noodles into boiling water, and pour chicken fat and soybean oil into the boiling water according to the golden ratio.

Stir gently with silver chopsticks to prevent sticking.

At the same time, the other free hand scooped up two spoonfuls of soup jelly that hadn’t been used up from making the hamburger meat before, and put it in another casserole filled with white paper to melt it.

Xie Yunfei’s actions were very quick. After opening the store for more than two consecutive weeks, he has long been used to being distracted and completing two or more tasks in the same period of time.

He secretly calculated the time in his heart.

“It’s now.”

Muttering in his mouth, he took a colander with his right hand, took the noodles out of the pot, drained the water, and carefully poured them into a large bowl beside him.

On the other end, the left hand is not too hot, but just picked up the casserole through a piece of white cloth, and the wrist slightlyTilt, pour the soup over the noodles little by little through the colander.

The noodles are white and round, and the soup is clear and visible.

Those who don’t know, seeing this scene, thought that Xie Yunfei was just making ordinary Yangchun noodles.

But then, Xie Yunfei used silver chopsticks to put two slices of char siu pork, half a sugar-coated egg, some shredded green onion, and fish rolls on the noodle soup.

“You two, this is the last dish – ramen.”

Xie Yunfei didn’t give the one on the dining table a famous name. Unlike the previous hamburger meat that used a lot of imaginary ingredients and has undergone large-scale improvement, the ramen in front of me is just a ramen, except that it took three days to slowly boil the soup, this bowl of noodles, the essence It’s just a delicate dish.

but……

Whether it’s Grandpa Matsuoka or Grandma Matsuoka, looking at the ramen with a faint golden glow on the surface in front of them, a hint of memory subconsciously appeared on their faces.

“Christmas Eve is here.”

“Well, it’s really here.”

The two were talking softly. Looking at each other, they had long forgotten where they were, and even time seemed to have flown backwards.

Xie Yunfei did not continue to stand where he was. He returned to the counter and spent the rest of his time with Grandpa and Grandma Matsuoka who were reminiscing about the past.

I don’t know if it was Xie Yunfei’s illusion, but beside the two of them, he actually saw a pair of young men and women.

The men and women looked at each other, just like Grandpa Matsuoka and Grandma Matsuoka.

“This year is almost over.”

“Yes.”

“Speaking of which, I haven’t given you a Christmas present yet.”

“I also have something I’ve always wanted to say to you.”

The man and woman muttered softly in voices that only they could hear. The two, immersed in their own world, didn’t even notice that he and she who were sitting across from each other were whispering something.

“that……”

“that……”

“Still, you should talk first.” The young man stretched out his hand, hesitated for a moment, and said so.

The woman froze for a moment, and her expression gradually softened.

“If, if you don’t mind, yes, you can… treat me as a gift.”

The woman who didn’t know how much effort it took to say such words, lowered her head shyly after she finished speaking, not daring to look at the young man again.

The young man was also taken aback, his hands on the table trembled subconsciously.

But in the next second, the young man seemed to have made up his mind, and the other hand firmly held down the trembling hand. Take a deep breath, and then…

“Let’s get married!”

The hazy light and shadow dissipated, leaving only Grandpa Matsuoka and Grandma Matsuoka sitting at the dining table.

Unlike the young couple, the two of them didn’t say anything, just as before, Grandpa Matsuoka helped divide the ramen into two portions, while Grandma Matsuoka watched the busy Grandpa Matsuoka with her lips pursed.

This moment…

Silence is better than sound.
