Master Huang was pulling noodles behind the small culinary station at the entrance of the shop, a mere meter away from Jiang Feng. Typically, Master Huang would flick the dough 8 or 9 times, but Jiang Feng remembered that the zhajiangmian Cao Guixiang made in his memory had been flicked 11 times.
"Master Huang, could you make the noodles a bit thinner? I'd like to have thinner noodles," Jiang Feng said.
"You want them thinner, huh? Okay, I'll give them an extra flick for you," Master Huang agreed with alacrity.
Jiang Feng just sat at his seat and watched Master Huang's noodle-pulling actions. Preparing the dough and then dropping it was almost done in one go, with the dough being worked into thin, long strips that seemed to skip and dance in Master Huang's hands.
