The merchant crocodile, who is usually tired of eating big fish and meat, also drives an Audi A8 to eat a bowl from time to time to improve his life.
The boss is a post-90s guy from a small town in Dehong, and is an authentic Dehong ethnic minority - Han Chinese. From childhood to adulthood, he has never been far away, and the farthest place he has ever been is Ruili.
A few years ago, he brushed vibrato brushed a wife, so for the love of the opportunity, with the money ready to buy a house in his hometown to Kunming to start a partnership, but did not know what the taste of Kunming people, had to make the original beef steak rice noodles in his hometown.
The method of boiling beef is simple and rough, cutting the beef into large pieces and throwing it into the pot, adding water, boiling, and finishing. If the chef of the star hotel saw it, he would have autistic on the spot. However, this seemingly unskilled approach allows the beef to retain the beef flavor and add some homely flavors, which can be described as a no-trick.
The beef is cooked softly and diced into small pieces, and the beef broth tastes pure and serves as a soup base.
Although the beef is boiled to a continuous flow of three thousand feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way fell for nine days, but the process of seasoning is noisy and cut into a miscellaneous bullet large beads and small beads falling on the jade plate. More than a dozen spices should be added to form a mixture of sour, spicy, spicy, fragrant, bitter and other mixed flavors. In addition to the common shallots, mint, leeks, and coriander, there are also several special ingredients.
Fragrant willow leaves and coriander are the finishing touches in a bowl of beef steak noodles and are the most critical link in a variety of complex flavors.
Fragrant willow leaves are a common medicinal herb, which is recorded in ancient medical books such as "Compendium of Materia Medica", which has the effect of clearing heat and relieving pain, but as an ingredient, few people know that it is more fantastic to put it in the rice noodles to taste, adding a lot of color to a bowl of ordinary rice noodles.

Beef, spices, and burmese ginger, Dehong millet spicy, roasted with tea ash paste pepper.
Finally, you can squeeze in a few drops of fresh ancient tree lemon juice, refreshing and degreasing, the taste has risen a notch, and hundreds of adult lemons are squeezed dry every day.
In this way, a bowl of beef steak rice noodles can be achieved.
The aroma of beef, the alcohol of beef soup, the spice of spices, the spiciness of chili peppers, the acidity of lemons, all the flavors of the world are gathered in a small bowl, eat a bite, five flavors are mixed, but what follows is the fragrance back to sweetness.
In addition to beef, there are also black chicken, stewed meat and other noodles, which can also be eaten with water pickles, each with its own taste.
This small shop can sell four or five thousand yuan a day, and the life of the two cannot be said to be rich and expensive, but the small life is moist and moist. The rice noodles he sells rely on the unique taste, or many people like it, some people like its sour, some people like its spicy, some people like a bowl of rice noodles in the sour, sweet and bitter spicy.
Just like when he left his hometown and came to Kunming, he didn't know what life would taste like after that, only by tasting it would he understand, and then he would find that there was everything in it.
