Chapter 229

Harmony is just the first step!

Although this step determines the starting point later, the second step, the ramen process, is the most critical.

However, before the formal ramen, there is another process, which is the slipper, which is also commonly known as slipper.

Generally speaking, this process involves a young man with a big round bang, kneading, stretching, and throwing the large ball of soft noodles repeatedly, placing the dough on the panel, holding both ends of the strip with both hands, lifting it on the chopping board and smashing it hard. After the strip is lengthened, folding the two ends in half, and continuing to hold the two ends and hitting it. The purpose is to adjust the arrangement order of gluten protein in the dough, so that the disordered protein molecules are arranged into a long chain, which is called the straight tendon in the industry. Then roll it into long strips, and tie it into 20 mm thick and chopsticks, or roll it into round strips.

The reason why a young man with a strong backbone is that this process is really a laborious job. You use a machine to do this. At present, there is no such machine that can do such a job. This must be done manually, and different adjustments are made according to the dough situation.

"See clearly!" Li Qingming ordered.

Masayoshi Son and Uncle Xiang’s eyes widened.

Until now, this ramen was completely beyond their expectations. It was something they had never touched before. Looking at the dough, I didn’t know how to start.

Li Qingming took a deep breath, recalled the masters' skills in his mind, and began.

Li Qingming placed the kneaded dough on the panel, and then rubbed it into strips of about 30CM with both hands.

Masayoshi Sun and Uncle Xiang stared at Li Qingming's hands carefully. Li Qingming's palms were facing upwards, holding the two ends of the thick noodles (if there was a small noodle section in the middle, pinch the face with the three fingers of both hands), lifted them away from the chopping board, and pulled the noodles several times at a short distance to both sides, so that the noodles were more than 1 meter long. Then hand over the right face to the left hand, fold the noodles, and hold the other end with the right hand, and do the movement of stretching and folding again.

Afterwards, Li Qingming grabbed both ends of the noodles with both hands, first stretched the noodles to a certain length (about 1M), and then used force on both wrists at the same time, and swung them for a few minutes to flush the noodles about 2M long (if you don't do the subsequent drop action, you can leave the chopping board). You can also throw the middle section of the noodles on the chopping board for the last time when you swing, and then lift it up quickly. Then, repeat several times.

Finally, I saw Li Qingming using both hands to force inward, with his left hand inward and his right hand outside. He moved the two strands of noodles close to the bottom of his hands, and twisted the two strands of noodles into a twisted shape with his right hand. He handed the face to his left hand, then took the ring buckle head at the bottom with his right hand, then pressed the above-mentioned stretching noodles, swinging the noodles, and repeated the upward force seven times.

At this time, Li Qingming put the slippery noodles on the chopping board.

Huh! Li Qingming let out a long sigh. It was not too disappointing. Otherwise, if something happened to the dough in the middle, it would be embarrassing. After all, in front of his apprentice, this would not be embarrassing.

"You guys come and try!" Li Qingming ordered.

The two of them were stunned. This was just now, not only because of their magical skills, but they also felt incredible. The process of this noodles is too complicated.

"Try it, this is very important!" said Li Qingming.

The two nodded and then began to try how to slip away.

Following Li Qingming's method just now, the two of them clumsyly slipped away, and they could hear the sound of "bang, bang" and the two were sweating profusely. After a long time, the two of them put down the dough in panting.

"Master, this is really hard to live. I'm old, but I can't do it!" Masayoshi Son wiped the sweat from his forehead.

At this moment, for a short while, he felt his arm sore. It would be a day to finish it, and that would be great.

As for Uncle Xiang, it was even more difficult. But he gritted his teeth and finished it. After all, this was what he wanted to do, in order to realize the value of his life and to prove whether Lian Po could still make a living.

So, no matter how tired he is, he will stick to it. Isn’t this a little tired? After a long time, he will naturally not feel tired. Besides, if he is tired, he will just take a rest for a night.

Looking at the uncle Xiang's gritting teeth, Li Qingming suddenly realized that he seemed to be a little too much to make this "magical ramen". This ramen is the most tiring. Although those ramen masters are very relaxed, they are all practiced over the years.

Uncle Xiang is only learning ramen at such age. Wouldn't he be too tired? Should he change his own kind? Li Qingming thought about it and spoke to Uncle Xiang.

"Qingming, I know you are doing your best for me and want me to enjoy a happy life. However, I hope I can find a place to realize the value of my life. So, let me persevere! Please teach me all the magical ramen!" Uncle Xiang looked eager.

Li Qingming pursed his lips.

"Master, this is indeed very tired. But I think this is because of the first time we are extremely unfamiliar with the craftsmanship, and the tension is very tight, which has caused us to waste a lot of effort. I think if we are familiar with it, we can definitely do better! And we won't be so tired!" Son Masayoshi said on the side.

He is close to Uncle Xiang and understands Uncle Xiang's mentality more clearly. This man has reached a certain age and is not yet at the age of retirement. It is the most terrible thing to do nothing at this time. He seems to be enjoying his happiness, but in fact, it is the beginning of the complete destruction of his entire life. A life of doing nothing is the worst life.

If Uncle Xiang continues to enjoy happiness like this, it is not enjoying happiness, but life begins to move towards the end of the world.

"Well, uncle, let's continue!" Li Qingming could understand Uncle Xiang's persistence, so he didn't say anything more.

"If you want to determine whether the noodles are qualified after walking, you can judge whether the noodles are smooth and whether the thickness of the middle and the two ends is equal. If you walk too much, the thickness will be uneven. At this time, just walk from the beginning a few times to meet the requirements. If not enough, you will also take a few more times. In this regard, there will be no waste!" Li Qingming gave a suggestion.

The two looked at their noodles and felt that they had been oversighted. Then, they came a few more times. Finally, they carefully identified their noodles and had just passed the exam.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. The previous skills were finally in vain. Moreover, this ramen is really interesting.

"Not bad! Then next, the most important part of ramen - ramen!" said Li Qingming, "Everything before this was prepared. And this last step is the most critical and directly related to the taste."

Ramen! The reason why it is called ramen is naturally because the noodles need to be lengthened. If they are not lengthened, they are not called ramen!

At this moment, Li Qingming began to feel nervous. He was not sure about this ramen. I hope it would be better not to break it!
