Chef at the University Canteen-Chapter 281 - 224: Do They Each Have Three Stomachs or Something?

After pouring out the spinach juice, Jiang Yu set it aside, waiting for Du Guangning to use it for the dough later.

Next, he washed some tomatoes, peeled and diced them, cut the soaked wood ear mushrooms into strips, beat four eggs into a mixture, and then heated oil in a pan. He cooked these ingredients into a tomato and egg sauce, which he set aside for later use.

Du Guangning had a knack for making dough, and with just about a pound of flour, the process wasn't complicated. By the time Jiang Yu finished the tomato and egg sauce, Du Guangning had also kneaded two small dough balls, one white and one green.

"The dough looks pretty good, nice and smooth."

Jiang Yu rarely complimented Du Guangning but followed up by saying, "Go find two clean pairs of scissors, and remember, no rusty ones."

"Oh, okay."

Though a bit puzzled, Du Guangning didn't have time to ask questions. He hurried out to find two pairs of scissors and handed them to Jiang Yu.

"This dish is called Scissor Noodles. Didn't you see me make the oat-fish pasta the other day? What we're going to do is use scissors to cut the dough little by little, similar to the oat-fish pasta."

Jiang Yu first tossed the scissors into boiling water to sterilize them, then handed one pair to Du Guangning, explaining,

"Don't rush; watch how I do it first, then you can follow my example."

With that, he dusted some flour on his hands to prevent the dough from sticking, kneaded the dough a few times, and finally formed it into a cone shape to make cutting easier.

Holding the coned dough in one hand and scissors in the other, he started cutting the dough into small fish shapes, little by little, while spinning it around.

After snipping for a while, he looked up at Du Guangning and said:

"Got it? It's simple, really. You try it now. Try to keep them the same size as mine so they cook evenly."

"Okay, got it."

Du Guangning nodded and also shaped the spinach dough into a cone. He then picked up the scissors and, mimicking Jiang Yu, began cutting the dough into little noodle fish.

When they had finished cutting all the dough, two piles of white and green noodle fish were ready.

Then, Jiang Yu boiled some water again, and once it was rolling, he cooked the two kinds of noodle fish separately, then cooled them in cold water.

Next, he took two white plates, arranged the two types of noodle fish in a Taiji shape, topped them with the pre-cooked tomato and egg sauce, sprinkled chopped green onions and cilantro, and finally added a drizzle of spicy oil.

With that, the Shanxi specialty Scissor Noodles was done. When served, all you need to do is mix the tomato and egg sauce with the noodle fish evenly, and it's ready to eat.

Seeing the two plates of white and green Taiji noodles, topped with red and yellow tomato and egg sauce, Du Guangning couldn't help but feel his appetite whetted, even if he wasn't particularly hungry.

He really wanted to taste the noodle fish he had cut himself!

Seeing his expression, Jiang Yu couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. He nodded toward the side and said,

"There's plenty of noodle fish and tomato and egg sauce left over there. If you want to try some, help yourself!"

"Hey! Got it!"

Du Guangning's face lit up with joy, and he quickly grabbed a bowl, running to the side to get some Scissor Noodles.

Jiang Yu was planning to cook a few more dishes for Liu Xining and the others when he turned around and saw Pei Guofu and the two junior apprentices watching him eagerly. For a moment, he was speechless, waving them off, he said,

"If you want to eat, help yourself and mix some for yourselves!"

Is everyone growing three stomachs?

How can each one eat more than the other!
