Chapter 782 Breakfast Service

As early summer arrives, the weather begins to heat up and becomes very hot, and the chirping of cicadas outside the window becomes clearer and clearer.

Early in the morning, before dawn, neatly dressed cleaners took to the streets with their tools and poured cold water on the ground with buckets of water to cool down the smoky hot ground, bringing a sense of calm to the entire Konoha Village. A hint of coolness.

When the first ray of sunlight on the horizon shone through the ground, this group of silently working cleaners also returned home. It was the turn of the villagers of Konoha Village to take to the streets. One, two, three... people started to fill the streets. Ding prospered and gradually became very lively.

When they were looking for food on the street, they were surprised to find that Yang Ming's shop, which had always been closed in the morning, miraculously opened for business at this time!

At this time, many villagers were attracted, and everyone was talking about it.

"Oh my God, aren't I dazzled? Boss Yang Ming is actually so diligent and started working in the morning?"

"Let me see, let me see, oh, is there a formula posted on the door of the store?"

"Hey, you should talk about it. If you don't say anything, then don't block the way!"

"Okay, okay, it says that from today on, Yang Ming's shop will sell breakfast at seven o'clock every morning, and the business hours are two hours."

"Here, boss Yang Ming has really changed his gender. This is really big news!"

"Stop talking, hurry up and get in line, I really want to try the breakfast cooked by boss Yang Ming!"

Facing the challenge from Yuanyue Restaurant, Yang Ming made corresponding strategies the next day.

That is, open breakfast operation!

Previously, Yang Ming's shop, like Yuanyue Restaurant, only served lunch and dinner, but now, Yang Ming has opened breakfast to grab customers.

Today, the first dish Yang Ming wants to make is cold jelly.

Cold jelly is a famous Chinese snack. It originated in the Qing Dynasty. In the early 20th century, chefs in the past focused on developing its own unique seasoning formula on the basis of maintaining the original traditional flavor of yellow jelly, which further highlighted the "numbing, spicy, fragrant and crispy" characteristics of Sichuan cuisine. , making it more spicy and delicious, and it has since become a famous cold noodle.

The main ingredient of cold jelly is peas, which are refined by hand. It is rich in nutrients, has a pure taste, and has a soft and crisp texture without any added chemicals.

It is also called "sad jelly" for three reasons: first, the workmanship is exquisite and it can be said to be difficult to taste; second, the seasoning formula emphasizes "numbing, spicy, pungent, and fragrant", which often makes the eater runny and appetite; third, because It is processed by hand and the output is not large. Those who come from out of town to buy it often come back empty-handed, which is very sad.

Of course, the author usually eats it for breakfast, because you don’t have to wait for a long time and it tastes very good.

Early summer is coming. In Yang Ming’s memory, in China, children only knew that summer meant eating ice cream and watermelon, especially after swimming, shaking their wet hair, and eating a bowl of soft drinks. Soft jelly, so sour, very refreshing.

Nowadays, delicious ice cream is no longer something Yang Ming can appreciate, but what Yang Ming never forgets most is tasting the bowls of smooth and cold jelly in the scorching sun. The sour and spicy jelly is very appetizing in summer.

In the Fujian, Taiwan and Guangdong regions of China, eating jelly is a very traditional way to escape the heat. A seemingly simple bowl of jelly can lead to diverse cultures depending on the place.

Like tofu, jelly can be divided into north and south. The jelly in the north refers to vermicelli made from rice, pea and other potato starch, added with chili oil, vinegar and chopped green onion, stirred evenly and eaten.

Jelly is a Han food. There are generally two ways to eat jelly: one is cold and the other is fried. Popular all over the country. "Tokyo Menghua Lu" states that "Xisuo jelly" existed in Bianliang during the Northern Song Dynasty.

The night before, Yang Ming soaked the mung bean powder and stirred it into a paste. He boiled the water until it boiled, added alum and poured in the prepared mung bean paste. Let it cool. White, transparent and crystal-like. If mixed with soy sauce, vinegar and mustard and eaten, it will be cool and smooth, making it a summer flavor food.

The white jelly made in this way has a smooth texture and the jelly has a more lingering flavor.

In South China, jelly refers to jelly made from jelly grass and rice. It turns into a green or black gelatinous solid when frozen. It can be used as a thirst quencher in summer.

At this time, Yang Ming was making northern-style jelly.

Yang Ming first puts the wok on the fire, heats the oil until it is 50% hot, stir-fries the finely chopped bean drum until crispy and fragrant, then adds the finely chopped bean paste and stir-fries until fragrant and colored, then adds soy sauce, monosodium glutamate and pepper. , lightly stir-fry allspice powder, and then blend with water soybean powder to make a stew.

After a while, Yang Ming cut the jelly into 2 cm squares, put them into a colander, heated them in boiling water, and put them into bowls. Pour bean curd, red oil chili pepper, vinegar, garlic sauce on top, sprinkle with chopped green onion, bean sprouts and pepper powder and serve.

It is worth mentioning that Yang Ming does not use a knife to cut the jelly when making cold salad. Instead, he uses a special round iron pick with holes like a spoon to circle the jelly in circles. , the vermicelli came out from the round holes.

On average, there are more than 13 kinds of seasonings in a bowl of jelly. When you eat jelly, you should eat the flavor, the variety, and the seasonings in it.

After making the jelly, Yang Ming tried it first.

Pick up the chopsticks and pick up the thin and crystal clear jelly, which is stained with various seasonings and has been dyed a little red. The aroma of chili peppers hits your nose, and as soon as it enters the nasal cavity, it instantly stimulates the appetite in the human body. Even though Yang Ming had just woken up and was still a little bit tired, he woke up within a short moment, and suddenly he was three feet tall and drooling.

"Suck, suck, suck! Suck, suck, suck!"

The sound of gobbling was heard.

A small bowl of jelly seems simple, but the moment he eats it, Yang Ming trembles!

This is a taste that is unforgettable because it tastes really spicy. Yang Ming kept crying and sweating profusely while eating it.

Smoking, sweating, tears, and runny nose.

If ordinary people are not prepared, they may get numb and faint after eating it. Moreover, they cannot bear the spicy food and have to drink a sip of water before eating it.

But for those who like spicy food, don’t worry, your mouth will water just thinking about it!

Of course, some people like cold jelly for breakfast, but naturally some people hate it and will sneer at it because it has no spicy taste. This is too disrespectful to life.

Yang Ming just tasted the light years and appreciated the calmness like water, which condensed the crystal of life. Just like some things need time to accumulate slowly.

When you pick up two portions of those picturesque and beautiful portions, observe them carefully with your eyes wide open, and then eat them in one bite, the crystal clear trembles, spicy in your mouth, the tip of your tongue crumbs, and the coolness running around your mouth, you haven’t tasted the taste yet, The meticulousness has penetrated into the stomach, the heart is moistened, and even the thoughts are melted. There is only a long and meaningful and transparent touch that makes you can't wait to take another sip.

This is the charm of jelly as a breakfast.
