The scene

Dong Tai Xiang, a tiny family noodle shop near Shaanxi South Road, Shanghai

The Noodle Master of Shaanxi South Road

东泰祥是陕西南路上的一家小面馆。老板姓王,做了四十年面条。他每天早上四点就把汤开始熬,一直熬到中午,把汤熬得又浓又香。

我今天点了一碗葱油面。王师傅先把葱切得整整齐齐,然后把葱放到热油里。当葱的香味出来以后,他把油和酱油混在一起,做成酱汁。

面煮好以后,王师傅把酱汁浇在面上,说:「把面和酱拌一拌,要拌得均匀。」我用筷子把面拌了几下,每一根面条都裹上了酱汁。

我把这碗面吃完了,一滴酱汁都没剩。太好吃了!王师傅笑着说:「我把这碗面做到了最好。每碗面都是这样。」这就是功夫。他把简单的葱油面做得像艺术品,把四十年的功夫都放到了这碗面里。
