Prepare some warm water, add a little salt to dissolve it, and add it to the flour in small amounts several times. First, knead it into a flocculent state, and then knead it into a dough.

Then let the dough rest for twenty minutes, during which Pei Yuezhi kneaded it a few more times.

Divide the rested dough into equal portions, roll them into strips, place them on a plate, brush with oil, and let them rest for another hour.

When the time was almost up, we started preparing to pull the noodles.

Flatten the dough a bit, roll it out thinner on both sides and thicker in the middle, then press down the middle with a rolling pin.

Then, holding both ends, you can slowly stretch it and gently tap it on the table.

This is biangbiang noodles. We can start cooking the noodles after everyone comes back in a little while.

After waiting for two hours, the braised chicken finally arrived, and Liu Yuanyuan and the others returned.

"You're finally back! Just in time for my braised chicken to be ready. You've come back at the perfect time," Pei Yuezhi said, quickly opening the pot to show it off.

Liu Yuanyuan gave her special treatment and exclaimed, "This smells so good! Quick, let's eat!"

Pei Yuezhi scooped out the braised chicken and placed it directly on the plate, planning to tear it apart when they ate it later.

This braised chicken has a reddish-brown color, and the skin is fried and then slightly wrinkled after being boiled. It has a wonderful aroma and taste, and it's a perfect combination of color, aroma and flavor.

"Yueyue, this dish is perfect as a signature dish. Is it complicated to make?" Liu Yuanyuan asked.

Pei Yuezhi replied, "The operation is not difficult, but it requires deep-frying. You need to hold the chicken with a strainer in one hand, which takes quite a long time and is quite heavy. In addition, it needs to be stewed for two hours."

Liu Yuanyuan understood: "That's quite complicated. We don't have many pots, so we can't make too many at once. It's more suitable for larger restaurants, which have more pots."

"Moreover, we can make so many different kinds of dishes. Once this recipe is sold, there are so many other ways to cook chicken."

“Yes, we have many more recipes, but this braised chicken smells so good, and you made so much.” Liu Yuanyuan’s eyes were fixed on the braised chicken.

Pei Yuezhi almost laughed: "There are so many of us, I'm afraid there won't be enough to eat, so I'll keep two for myself and take the other one to Qingquanlou."

"But I'm still a little unsure, and I don't know if they'll actually buy it."

Liu Yuanyuan encouraged, "Don't worry, this braised chicken smells so good, how could it not be better than their roast chicken?"

Pei Yuezhi is someone who is easily comforted, and after hearing what Liu Yuanyuan said, she felt less uneasy.

"Yuanyuan, come with me this afternoon. I'm a little nervous going alone."

"I'll definitely go with you, don't worry. Let's eat, it smells so good!"

"Okay, we're about to eat. We haven't made the main dish yet. I just pulled some noodles, and I'll cook them in the pot now."

After the water boiled, Pei Yuezhi tore the stretched noodles in half and put them into the pot to cook.

When it was almost cooked, I also cooked some bean sprouts and bok choy.

After the noodles are cooked, rinse them with water, then add minced garlic, minced scallions, salt, chicken bouillon, chili powder, a little vinegar, and soy sauce.

Pour hot oil over the noodles, add some chopped chives, and the perfect oil-splashed noodles are ready.

"Dinner's ready! Dinner's ready!"

Liu Yuanyuan and Grandma Liu quickly came over to serve the noodles, and Fan Mu also set out small stools.

Two chicken cutlets on the table, and a large bowl of oil-splashed noodles for each person—it smelled absolutely delicious!

"I'll tear the chicken apart first, leaving some for the two school children," Pei Yuezhi said, and began to tear the chicken apart.

The chicken was incredibly tender; the bones came off with a gentle pull. As the chicken was torn apart, the aroma of the meat filled the air, and everyone stared intently at it.

Pei Yuezhi first took a piece and put it in Granny Liu's bowl: "Auntie, please eat first and see how it is."

Grandma Liu took a bite and her eyes widened: "This chicken is tender, fragrant, and incredibly delicious. It's much better than yesterday's roast chicken!"

Hearing Granny Liu's evaluation, the group could no longer resist and each tried a large piece.

After taking a bite, Liu Yuanyuan ate three more bites before speaking: "Yuanyue, you can rest assured about this dish. They will definitely buy it. This is the standard for our signature dish."

"Are we going to make our signature dish?" Grandma Liu asked curiously. "I don't think that's a good idea."

Pei Yuezhi asked with some surprise, "What's wrong, Auntie? Isn't this chicken delicious enough?"

"It's definitely delicious, but we have so many delicious foods, each with its own unique characteristics. This chicken is delicious, but it's not the most representative of our family's cuisine."

So that's what it meant. Pei Yuezhi was a little worried that it wasn't enough.

Since that's all you're worried about, it's fine.

“Auntie, I’m planning to sell this recipe to Qingquanlou. What do you think?” Pei Yuezhi told Granny Liu about it and was looking forward to her opinion.

After all, Granny Liu is one of the more knowledgeable people she has met so far.

Grandma Liu laughed when she heard this: "Great! I think I'd like to buy your recipe and open my own braised chicken shop. If you're willing to sell it, I'm sure someone will buy it."

Hearing this answer, Pei Yuezhi was completely relieved. This world currently highly recognized her cooking skills, and everything was progressing smoothly.

"With your words, I'm not so worried anymore. I'll go to Qingquanlou with Yuanyuan this afternoon."

After the meal, Pei Yuezhi went to the shop to put away the ingredients and other items. When she returned, she handed the keys and Fan Mu to Granny Liu.

If you say you haven't come back yet, go to the shop to open it first, and your two sisters-in-law will know what ingredients to prepare first.

After giving instructions to Granny Liu, Pei Yuezhi and Liu Yuanyuan returned to their own place.

"Yuanyuan, come quick! Let's go to the mall and rest for a while. I bought Coke and an ice cup in advance!"

"That's wonderful, you're so thoughtful!"

The two rested for an hour, which was much more comfortable than resting outside. Although the time was short, they felt much more refreshed.

"It's almost time, let's get ready to go." Pei Yuezhi took out the braised chicken and wrapped it in lotus leaves.

Although Liu Yuanyuan kept comforting Pei Yuezhi, she herself was also a little nervous at this moment.

Pei Yuezhi could tell that she was also nervous, so she took her hand and said, "Don't be nervous, it's okay. You're just comforting me, and you're so nervous yourself."

"Oh dear, this is supposed to be a business negotiation? I've never experienced anything like this before. Don't worry about me, just relax."

Don't worry.

Pei Yuezhi usually gets nervous before doing something, but when something is about to happen or has already happened, she calms down and becomes much more composed.

Now that we're about to set off, I'm not nervous anymore; I'll just let things take their course.

After tidying up, the two headed towards Qingquan Tower.
