"Yes, the house is so good, but the unit upgraded it for you." Xiong Jiao said, "Xueshan, you still don't have the balcony? If I had it, I would cover it and use it as a study. It's bright and spacious!"

"The boss said there is no need to pay for it now, and I think that's right. It's big enough for one person to live in anyway." Feng Xueshan said with a smile, "Your new house is not bad. You have two working people, so you can take advantage of it."

"It's mainly Liu Tao who works in the distribution department. The company sees their hard work and gives higher marks to the supply and marketing department." Xiong Jiao said, "In addition, we both work in the company and take care of them a little. Even so, we are still more than ten years younger than you."

Flat, let alone a big balcony.”

This is how the generation gap between those who are already working and those who are still students comes about. After entering society and joining the workforce, various pressures will follow, forcing newcomers to mature.

Therefore, the topic between Xiong Jiao and Feng Xueshan seemed normal to them, but it caused some silence in the car.

"Let's go eat noodles. When you come to Yizhou, of course you can't miss the classic burning noodles."

"Yizhou's steamed buns are also delicious, and the roasted pork is the same as Jiachuan." Xiong Jiao said.

"The fried dough sticks and soy milk are a bit less." Liu Tao is from the north and likes this one better: "Fortunately, there are also sugar and oil fruits, which are much more delicious than those in the north."

"Brother Tao, please take it easy, that thing will gain weight easily."

"Why do you think he doesn't dare to go back to the north?" Xiong Jiao complained: "He used to be a little fat guy, but he became thinner when he came to Sichuan. He became a handsome guy and couldn't bear to go back."

"Isn't it because of you that I can't bear to go back?" Zhou Zhi joked with a smile: "I have become a handsome guy, but I am still better off than Grandma Xiong."

"Bah!" Xiong Jiao's dissatisfied voice came from behind.

The car crossed the Minjiang Bridge and came to the north bank, where Xiong Jiao and Liu Tao's pharmaceutical company is located.

There is a famous park just across the street. There are several noodle restaurants outside the park. They occupy a large area of ​​​​the square in the morning, with small tables and stools. The business is still very popular.

This is obviously a domination operation, but Zhou Zhi is not his father Zhou Yuanjiang, but he really likes the smell of fireworks.

"Here it comes! How many people are there?" Seeing a crowd of people getting off the bus, the owner of the noodle shop was very enthusiastic: "Sit inside or outside?"

"Bring us three tables and put them together... Forget it, let's do it ourselves." Liu Tao said, "What does everyone want to eat?"

Zhou Zhi has already smelled the unique aroma of soup stock from small noodle shops in southern Sichuan: "Let's not embarrass the boss. You two are free to do whatever you want. Let's all eat burning noodles. I want to serve eleven or two taels of burning noodles."

"Hahaha, actually we also like to eat burning noodles. Boss, let's get thirteen and two taels!"

"Okay! You guys sit down for a while, it will come soon!"

Zhou Zhi sat down and said, "This restaurant must be authentic."

"How do you know about elbows?" Liu Tao asked everyone to sit down, and then went to get chopsticks for everyone.

"These chopsticks have been boiled in the pot. Many experienced restaurants do this. It's clean and hygienic." Zhou Zhi took the chopsticks and said: "And the taste of the soup stock is very authentic. Now I am willing to spend this effort to cook the soup.

There are fewer and fewer noodle shops.”

"Eh? It's true to say the least." Liu Tao said: "Nowadays, many noodle restaurants only provide noodle soup. What else can you say...'the original soup is transformed into the original food'."

"That's what the north says, but we don't do that," Zhou Zhi said: "Our noodle restaurants and steamed stuffed bun restaurants all use soup stock as their soul mate. It goes without saying that the small noodles on one side are added to the soup stock in the bowl. Even if it's

When eating dry-mixed vegetarian chili sauce or burning noodles, the soup will also be on the menu as usual. This is an old rule and cannot be skimped on."

"This little brother is really expert!" The boss has already brought soup to everyone: "We heard from the elders in the family that it is an iron-clad rule to pair burning noodles with soup stock. In the old days, if the soup was not cooked out, our noodle shop wouldn't even have it.

Dare to lower the door panel to welcome guests to their seats."

"If you can abide by these rules, your noodle shop business will be good." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Even if the children at home do not inherit your business in the future, just writing down this soup recipe will be a big blessing to them.

A fortune."

"We can't let them do this anymore." The boss laughed and said, "It's tiring to wake up early and stay late!"

"If you make two-faced and three-faced buns, you'll get tired again. That means you'll also make a lot of money. The boss's business is incredible!"

"It's time to serve! Set up the dragon gate!" The boss was happy to hear this and wanted to chat with Zhou Zhi for a few words. However, the lady boss guarding the pot was not happy and summoned the boss back with a roar of a lion.

"You guys sit down, I'm going to serve you noodles." The boss took two steps and said, "You can add more soup. If you like, you can have another bowl!"

After the boss left, Liu Taocai and Xiong Jiao said, "Can we add more soup stock here? I've never heard the boss say that..."

Feng Xueshan rolled her eyes at Zhou Zhi: "Brother Tao, don't you see? This is because the boss is trying to make him happy!"

…

People in Sichuan are famous throughout the country for their "appreciation of flavor and spicy aroma", and Yibin burning noodles are an outstanding representative of this characteristic.

The characteristic of burning noodles is that it is "dry". Regardless of whether it is meat or vegetable, it must be made with heavy oil.

When the noodles came up, Zhou Zhi introduced them to everyone while mixing them: "When it comes to Yizhou burning noodles, the first step after putting them in the bowl is to add special red oil and mix them quickly, giving each strand of watery noodles in a very short time.

They all put on a bright red oil coat."

"The noodles at this time can be ignited with a little fire. This is where the name of burning noodles comes from."

"This mixing of oil is also very particular. Each family has its own secret method. Generally, the oil used in noodle restaurants has at least three or four types of chili peppers, and two or three types of Sichuan peppercorns, not to mention other spices. There are many

There must be more than ten or twenty kinds."

"Yizhou families also have such a rule. They say to see if a family is from Yizhou, just go to the kitchen and have a look. If there are three types of pepper missing, then they are not from Yizhou."

"Huh?" Xiong Jiao found it very interesting: "It seems that many of our colleagues' families are like this, but if you didn't tell me, I really wouldn't be able to think about it."

Wei Fei mixed the noodles and said, "Except for itself, this noodle really doesn't have any water at all."

"Yes, this is the second characteristic of burning noodles. It has to be done." Zhou Zhi said: "Look at the boss lady, after the noodles are cooked and before they are put into the bowl, there is a very important process, which is tossing the noodles."

Everyone looked towards the landlady and saw that she was pounding the noodles into a special bamboo strip bag, then raising the bag with the noodles above her head and shaking it down quickly.

The bamboo strip pocket draws an arc in the air and stops instantly when it reaches the waist. At this time, the water attached to the surface flies out from the seam of the pocket, which is very beautiful.

"Did you see it? So all this kind of dry noodles have another name in Shu, called 'Ganzhu'er noodles'." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Actually, there is another feature hidden underneath, it is used for cooking.

The water for the noodles should also be 'wide and clear', so that there won't be too much 'glue' left on the surface of the noodles."

"If you don't shake off the paste, it will easily form small batter-like particles when mixing the noodles, resulting in a bad taste."

"According to the customer flow of this noodle shop, hundreds of noodles are sold in one morning. Just shaking the noodles is a laborious job." Fang Wenyu said.
