At present, many waiters in restaurants are children from other places. When the noodles are cooked, they are served together with the noodles, and all the noodles are poured into the noodle bowl. This is not right. You don't know what people like to eat and what they don't eat, so you put them all in a bowl. You shouldn't pour all the sauces into a bowl. Everyone has different tastes, so you should let the guests put them by themselves. It's impolite for Beijingers to smash dishes and bowls.
When I stepped into the gate of Zengguang Road Store in Haiwanju, I first saw the doorman bow, asked a few people first, and then began to report: "Guest X" and "Little Two pours tea". The sound was so loud that the whole restaurant echoed, and the first-time visitor was surprised by carelessness. Then you see Xiao Er coming from all corners, wearing a white silk shirt and black pants, and saying, "Here you are!" " Before the sound falls, a waiter wearing a black melon hat will take you to the dining seat. This series of cries first makes you feel that you are in the old Beijing shop, and you have tasted the leisurely and carefree taste of old Beijing before you eat it.
The walls around the restaurant are also hung with a number of scrolls drawn by the famous folk painter Sheng Xishan, reappearing the customs of old Beijing, including the style of famous streets such as Yandai Xiejie, Xianyukou and Dashilan in the 1931s, and the scene of selling dried fruits, pot cakes and kidney bean cakes along the street that year.
The waiters are all called Xiao Er
Here, the waiters who greet and shuttle are all young men, and the guests always use the old Beijing address "Xiao Er". The second child in Haiwanju has a clear division of labor: the one wearing a small melon skin hat is the usher; The person with a white towel on his shoulder is responsible for pouring tea, ordering food and checking out the bill for the guests; Specially served in Tsing Yi.
After reading it for a long time, I finally understand why the waiters are all men. When a guest is served Zhajiang Noodles at meal time, a "second boy" has to serve four bowls of noodles at most, plus the dishes and ingredients, and he has to shuttle through the crowded crowd. It's like an acrobatic spectacle. You can't do this job without a certain arm strength.
The name "Xiao Er" is very kind. Just call your voice, and all the "Xiao Er" will gather around and wait for your command. Some guests deliberately opened their throats at the dining table to greet two more "Xiao Er", which often attracted the "Xiao Er" to come forward together, and the people next to them looked at them cheerfully.
■ Taste Workshop
Fried Sauce is the most important
Mr. Guan from Haiwanju told us that the essence of authentic old Beijing Zhajiang Noodles is fried sauce. First of all, the yellow sauce you choose must be good. You should use the yellow sauce produced by regular famous brand manufacturers. Their soy sauce is of good quality. When you make yellow sauce, you add white flour instead of stick flour, otherwise the sauce will be easy to lump together after cooling, and it is not easy to mix. Secondly, when frying sauce, the temperature and ingredients should be well mastered, the temperature should be uniform, the proportion of fried sauce must be appropriate, the diced meat should be both fat and thin, and the yellow sauce should not be put too much, so that the fried sauce is delicious.
In the past, old Beijingers used to fry Zhajiang Noodles with pigs, which tasted delicious when it was hot, but once the lard was cold, the sauce solidified and could not be used. What's more, people's intestines and stomach are no longer suitable for eating lard fried sauce, and now they are fried with salad oil, which is healthier to eat.
There are 8 kinds of dishes, including bean sprouts, celery, green beans, shredded cucumber, shredded radish, shredded cabbage, green garlic and garlic. It's so refreshing to eat. Old Beijing's favorite food is shredded cabbage. Before cooking, blanch it with boiling water and take it out to eat with noodles.
gluten is good but not hard
There are several kinds of noodles in Zhajiang Noodles. Small bowls of diced meat, small bowls of eggs and single eggplant noodles are all 8 yuan/set, and small bowls of diced meat and eggplant are RMB 11/set. After consulting Xiao Er, we ordered authentic small bowls of diced meat and fried noodles.
when one end of the second bowl comes up, a few small dishes, white is white, green is green, and red is red, are really eye-catching and tender. Xiao er helped us mix the sauce with the side dishes and noodles, and we wolfed it down. You can't eat Zhajiang Noodles too gently, or you won't taste it.
This noodle is ice-cold and refreshing, and the smell of fried sauce is all on the noodle, which is fragrant but not greasy, and it is not as salty as expected. The noodle is very stiff, which makes you feel like you can't swallow it in your throat, but it is not hard and slippery, and you can go in at once. Occasionally, the shredded vegetables are crisp and slightly sweet, which is in sharp contrast to the gluten of noodles, which is not hard, soft and not bad. It is fragrant and refreshing when eaten directly.
■ Relevant data
Selling more than 2,111 bowls a day
Zhajiang Noodles, which is home to sea bowls, can sell more than 2,111 bowls a day, which shows that the level is very unusual. A young man who specializes in mixing and rolling flour pointed to 51 kg bags of special flour and said that he almost had to mix 8 bags of flour every day. The dough here is all made by hand, and the young man who is one meter eight is a dough master. I start to work at six o'clock every morning to make noodles, and I make 411 kilograms of noodles a day. It is estimated that no one can do this job except him.
one pot of water can cook at most 3 noodles
Zhajiang Noodles is most afraid of boiling dozens of bowls of noodles in one pot. If the water is boiled too much, the noodles will be mushy and the soup will not be drinkable. Cooking noodles should be boiled "three times", that is, add water for three times to boil, without covering the lid, otherwise the noodles will be stewed. Cooked noodles are usually soaked in hot water, and the noodles are not easy to stick.
People who eat noodles here like cold water in summer, which makes them cool and refreshing, while hot water is needed in winter, which makes them warm. Real old Beijingers like to eat "pot pick (three sounds)", that is, the noodles are cooked and directly picked out of the pot without water. But this kind of boiled noodles needs to be served with sauce immediately, and it can't be put, otherwise it will be easy to lump and taste bad after a long time.

The storefront looks a little old, and the interior feels spacious, but in other aspects, there is always a feeling that the store is bullying customers.

There is no free tea, so you have to pay immediately after ordering. Guys, hide aside. You can't hear me. I think the food is small and salty, and the guys say, "That's the taste"! The dishes were served quickly, but the dishes were poured into the bowl like a plate, and the people on the table turned their heads and left. It's okay. The mustard pile is not bad.

(Reporter Zhang Yun) Zhajiang Noodles, noodles with sesame sauce and noodles with gravy
Northerners mainly use pasta, such as steamed bread, rolls, steamed stuffed buns, jiaozi, wonton, pancakes and noodles. But when Beijingers mention "noodles", they mean noodles. Noodles mean "longevity". As the saying goes, "life has three sides", that is, "washing three sides", "longevity noodles" and "connecting three sides". Three days after the baby is born, there is a ceremony of washing three times. Eating three times wishes the baby "a long life"; Eating "longevity noodles" as usual on your birthday is called "picking longevity", which means "longevity is long";
The first sacrifice on the third day of a person's death is called "receiving three sides", and entertaining guests with "receiving three sides" shows that the feelings of mourning for the deceased are endless.
In daily life, Beijingers prefer to eat noodles, and they have formed a fixed routine. Residents in the city generally only eat pulled noodles and hand-cut noodles. Hand-pulled noodles are rolled into large pieces with a rolling pin on the dough table, sliced with a knife in the right hand, and rolled to the left with the left hand, so as to roll dry noodles to avoid adhesion. Finally, they are saved into a handful, picked up by both hands, cut off the joint between the two ends, and immediately put into a boiling water pot; The cut surface is to roll the reconciled white flour into thin slices, sprinkle with dry flour and cut it into filaments. In addition, there are also wide "board strips". After cooking, there are different "toppings", which can be divided into the following categories:
Zhajiang Noodles: The common one is diced pork fried sauce. Pure is semi-fat diced pork with onion, ginger, garlic, etc., fried in oil pan, added with yellow sauce, covered with pot cover and simmered for 11 minutes. At this time, the diced meat was covered with yellow sauce, and the skin of the meat was red and bright. The four flavors were diced pork tenderloin fried sauce with three fresh (shrimp, tenderloin and magnolia slices) fried sauce, and other vegetarian products such as osmanthus (egg) fried sauce, fried tofu diced sauce and roasted eggplant diced sauce, which were oily but not greasy. Old Beijingers eat Zhajiang Noodles. In cold weather, they pay attention to eating hot food, which is called "pot picking" (no water at all). In hot weather, they have eaten the water, but the soup has to be grated. According to the season, with a variety of seasonal dishes, it is called "comprehensive code".
In early spring, use bean sprouts with their heads cut off and their tails cut off, radish tassels with only two cotyledons, and pour the remaining Laba vinegar. In the deep spring, put flowers and pepper seeds in the sauce, which is called pepper sauce, and the flour code is green garlic, Toona sinensis bud, pickled vegetables, green bean mouth, small radish tassel and silk (strips). In early summer, fresh garlic, blanched fresh peas, shredded cucumber, shredded lentils, and leeks are used as noodles. Sesame sauce noodles: sesame sauce noodles, which is a light meal for old Beijingers in summer. When the noodles are cooked, take them out of the pot and soak them in cold water, then pour sesame sauce (salt, mixed with water), pepper oil (pepper oil fried with fragrant oil is put into soy sauce while it is hot), rice vinegar, and then add shredded pickled carrots, green garlic, shredded radish, pickled vegetables, Chinese toon buds and so on. It tastes like grilled cake and bean jelly.
noodles with gravy: commonly known as "noodles with gravy". When people hold red and white weddings, if they use "fried noodles" to entertain relatives and friends, they will all use noodles with gravy. Bitternization is usually done with boiled pork soup or mutton in a wok, which is fragrant. There is also a soup that does not thicken, and the antler is added to the soup to become the pouring juice of the clear soup, which is called "Yue Er Lu".
