Chapter 274 Noodles Like Spring

Huaiyang cuisine.

It refers to the special dishes of Yangzhou and Huai'an areas.

Yangzhou, needless to say, the city of Huai'an, located on the "shore of the Huai River", was once misunderstood as the "City of Disappointment" for some reasons.

This city has thousands of years of history!

The ancient canals and ancient temples that have experienced wind and rain constantly tell the story of the rise and fall of the city.

Here, delicious dishes such as fried rice, Sixi baked bran, and multigrain pastries are gathered.

The dazzling night market is another business card of Huai'an. The aroma of various delicacies is unforgettable.

Although every city has different street scenes, different food and different cultural customs, the soul of a city does not lie in its gorgeous and distinctive appearance, but in the food that is closest to life.

Whenever people talk about eating noodles, people always think of northern places like Shaanxi, Shanxi, Gansu, and Hebei. They always think that there are many kinds of noodles here, and people here eat noodles almost every day.

Then, when talking about the southern region, many people may only think of:

Chongqing noodles!

Wuhan hot dry noodles!

Jiangsu is often ignored.

In fact, Jiangsu is the hidden noodle kingdom, which is "even worse" than the north.

Yangchun noodles is the most famous noodle dish!

…

If.

Jiangnan is a painting, it should be a mist and rain ink.

And if we say that Jiangnan is a bowl of noodles, it is undoubtedly a bowl of Yangchun noodles.

There are no attractive toppings or too many seasonings. What you can enjoy in Yangchun Noodles is the deliciousness of the soup and the texture of the noodles.

It can be seen that the Yangchun noodles that Zhang Fan just made, the light yellow noodles are soaked in the soup, and at the same time, the various aromas of the ingredients slowly penetrate into the noodles, and the soup noodles are wrapped together.

Soup!

A little clear.

As for the taste, it is filled with fresh fragrance.

Finally, sprinkle in a few green chive flowers to make the color more vivid and the aroma more vivid.

The new green buds symbolize the renewal and vitality of all things in March among folk people. However, if this word is used to describe the bowl of Yangchun noodles in front of us, it is also quite appropriate.

When the commander-in-chief saw this, his bored mood could not help but become joyful!

…

Then he stretched out his finger.

I gently touched the wall of the bowl and felt the slightly hot temperature, which seemed to be transmitted to the bottom of my heart through my fingertips.

Then, he picked up the chopsticks and stirred the noodles.

The originally tangled noodles spread out instantly, dancing like silver ribbons in the soup.

Its color is light and elegant, just like the morning in early spring, when the sun shines through the mist, soft and fresh. The noodles are soft and elastic, and each noodle seems to have been carefully carved.

Take a deep breath.

I can't help but feel that this is the smell of spring, fresh and warm.

Then, the commander-in-chief began to blow on the noodle soup, brushed away the green garlic, and dragged the noodles into his mouth without any hindrance according to the ripples in the bowl. It was a great success.

It slides into your mouth, delicate and chewy, and the soup base is clear and mellow.

The light soy sauce aroma and the oily aroma of lard are intertwined to form a unique deliciousness.

This kind of deliciousness is not ostentatious.

But like the spring breeze blowing on the face, it quietly enters the heart.

When you taste it carefully, you can also feel the fragrance of chopped green onion, which adds a bit of life and vitality to the whole bowl of noodles.

…

The wheat flavor of the noodles itself!

The soup base is delicious!

The fragrance of chopped green onion!

The three are integrated with each other, and the taste levels are extremely rich.

The simpler the noodles, the more it tests the skill of the chef. Coupled with the thin profit margin of Yangchun noodles, many noodle restaurants no longer operate it now.

Therefore, if you want to eat an authentic bowl of Yangchun noodles, you usually have to go to an old noodle restaurant.

But Senzaemon never expected that Zhang Fan's bowl of Yangchun noodles was the simplest and most practical.

Not exaggerating.

A bowl of Yangchun noodles was really full of human fireworks and joyful stories, and he couldn't help but sigh:

Life is short, you should have another bowl!

As the noodles were eaten one by one, a satisfied smile finally appeared on the commander-in-chief's face.

Finally, he took a sip of the soup. The soup flowed down his throat and warmed his entire chest. Even if he closed his eyes, he could feel the soup flowing through his body with his heart, taking away all the fatigue and sorrow!

…

Yuanyue Resort.

At this moment, Gin Dojima, who had just returned from a business trip to France, had already learned about the recent coup in Totsuki Academy, and he was inevitably upset.

"Oh, I really didn't expect that."

"While I was away from Neon, the entire Yuanyue has undergone such big changes!"

After knowing about this matter, he immediately started to investigate the matter of Nakiri Thistle. As a result, he discovered a huge conspiracy!

It turned out that before that.

Nagiri Thistle has been secretly expanding its territory, mainly in North America.

Then, after he established a new force in North America, he actually set his sights on the Neon Country.

Especially in urban Tokyo, he suddenly began to expand contact channels, and made use of all the resources such as material, manpower and money provided by the Nakamura Chamber of Commerce behind him.

That is to say:

The collective rebellion of the Ten Heroes.

It's not a sudden incident, but a plan that Nakiri Thistle has been planning for a long time!

…

Duo!

After a sound.

A kitchen knife shining with blue light was wiped by Yukihira Joichiro with a knife cloth.

Afterwards, the mirror-like blade was deeply imprinted with an air-conditioned face. And on the kitchen knife, the tip of the knife is condensed with a little cold light, as if it is constantly flowing!

There is no doubt that this is a good kitchen knife.

In fact, a large number of handmade kitchen knives in Neon Kingdom have evolved from the forged samurai swords in the past.

Therefore, it retains many common features and can achieve the cut taste that chefs are most particular about!

At the same time, you can use a kitchen knife to maintain a smooth cutting feeling.

…

"Chuangzhen, have you polished your kitchen knives recently?"

At the same time, Joichiro Yukihira, who was also working as a chef at a five-star hotel in France, followed Gin Dojima back to the Neon Country, and then returned to the Gokusei Ryo of Totsuki Academy!

After learning about Totsuki's recent coup, he also chose to temporarily stay at Jiexingryo. After all, like Dojima Gin, he cared about Nakiri Hisashi very much.

then.

As soon as he comes back.

He hurriedly found his son and planned to have another cooking showdown.

"Of course!" Xing Ping Soma next to him nodded.

"Okay, let's get started."

Hearing this, Yukihira Joichiro couldn't help but nodded in the same way.

Then his eyes became very cold, so cold that they could freeze the other person in an instant, and even break apart in an instant, which made people shudder!

"Judge, what do you want to eat?

Then, Joichiro turned around involuntarily, looked at the preoccupied Isshiki Hui, and asked softly.

"Hand-Pulled Noodle."

Isekhui lowered his head and thought, then replied.

"OK, no problem."

Father and son Joichiro and Soma looked at each other, and finally agreed to use ramen as the topic of the duel.

"You two, I have saved the Jixing dormitory for the time being, so you can feel free to use the kitchen here. In short, you both can use all the ingredients here."

"And the time limit for the duel is one hour. If you two decide what dish to cook, let's start quickly."

at this time.

Yisekhui looked at the timetable and murmured.

Finally, Seiichiro and Souma picked out the ingredients and got busy!

…

time.

It will be over soon.

An hour later, the two of them finally finished cooking the noodles!

At this time, Isekhui just glanced at it, but felt extremely shocked in his heart. Then his eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but rub his chin with one hand, and began to figure out the texture of the two ramen in front of him.

He looked up at Yukihira Joichiro for a long time, and couldn't help but ask: "Senior, how many chefs are there in this world who are better than you?"

"Hard to say."

"There must be many chefs better than me."

Yukihira Joichiro stared closely at Isshiki Hui and continued: "But no matter what, Isshiki Hui, you should understand that in addition to solid cooking skills and skills, a good chef must also have an understanding of ingredients and food. Cultural understanding!”

"There is also a very important point, recognition, love and respect for the profession."

“Because most of the time, most chefs regard it as just a job and a way to make money, so many people just cope with the work and lack the motivation to take the initiative to learn and explore!”

"So nowadays, it is difficult to continue to promote and pass on many unique delicacies."

…

Obviously.

Seiichiro's words made Isshiki Hui fall into deep thought.

Later, he remembered that he was now a judge, and he had to taste the ramen dishes of the judges Soma and Seiichiro.

So he couldn't help but slurp the ramen, and after just one bite, he felt a strong aroma emanating from it.

Chuangzhen's beef noodles are made from high-quality beef, fine noodles, radish, coriander, and garlic sprouts.

After the water boils, put the noodles into the pot, remove after boiling, add sesame oil and serve cold! When eating, put a handful into a spoon and put it into boiling water to heat it up. Then add the cooked beef, offal, chili pepper and other condiments.

Finally, take a ladle from a large pot of broth and pour it over the noodles.

Generally speaking: beef noodles pay attention to one clear, two white, three red, four green, clear soup, white noodles, spicy oil, and coriander to enhance the flavor.

There is no doubt that Chuangzhen has done a particularly good job in this regard.

…

"Yes, Not Bad."

After taking just one bite, Yise Hui showed an expression of surprise, and then continued: "Add a dash of balsamic vinegar to fully bring out the spicy and sour aroma of the beef noodles."

"The noodles are made of fine wheat. They are smooth but not greasy. When you put them in your mouth, every noodle is elastic!"

"Eat a mouthful of noodles and drink a spoonful of soup. It will fill your mouth with a strong aroma and a moderate saltiness."

"Oil, it's a kind of lard, but it's not disgustingly greasy at all."

no doubt.

Eat this kind of noodles and drink this kind of soup.

After being "processed" by the teeth, it slowly flows toward the esophagus, then is swallowed, and reaches the stomach.

This process is really so satisfying!

So delicate and chewy, the noodle soup composed of these is naturally a very good bowl of beef noodles. You will not get tired of eating it, but you will want to eat it again.

As a result, Yise Hui was quite excited.

He raised his head, looked at Yukihira Soma and said, "Okay! Soma, after the last field training activity, your cooking skills have changed a lot!"

…

"Senior, I added black pepper to the beef noodles."

"In this way, the texture of the beef noodles will be in line with the seniors' preferences. At the same time, the taste will also have a different flavor!"

Chuangzhen, after listening to Isekhui's words, replied with a smile.

"I am afraid."

"Isn't it as simple as adding black pepper?"

Yise Hui thought for a while, then asked again.

"Yes, I also added alkaline water."

"The kind of flour ground from the finest wheat flour is far from being very tough after being kneaded into noodles! So, I added alkaline water so that the noodles will have a special somersault!"

I have to say, the kind of noodles that pop up in your mouth instantly after one bite, and the taste at that moment is simply unexpected.

And only Souma Yukihira could come up with this unexpected idea.

"Senior, I call this beef noodles: Kohei-ryu Beef Ramen·The 34th Improved Version."

Finally, Chuangzhen couldn't hide his inner joy and laughed. However, looking at Souma Yukihira with a smile on his face, Isshiki just shook his head.

Then he just buried his head and finished the bowl of beef noodles in two or three times.

Afterwards, he put down his chopsticks and exhaled a breath of warm air.

…

"Well, it's time for this ramen."

Finally, Isshiki Hui moved her eyes over and looked at the ramen made by Joichiro.

The delicious food should always be saved for last.

Although he didn't say anything, Isshiki Hui knew very well: Seiichiro Yukihira, who was in the same class as Gin Dojima, was far more powerful than Gin Dojima!

After that, Isshiki Hui finally tasted Seiichiro's ramen dishes.

This ordinary bowl of fragrant ramen just feels like French cuisine when you eat it.

Each ingredient can be processed independently until finally blended together to create a depth of flavor!

Of course, the best part lies in one thing:

Tempeh.

This is a fermented soy food that originated in Southeast Asia.

It has high protein and amino acid content. It is known as the meat of vegetarians and can be used to cook many different delicacies. It is a natural meat substitute.

Although tempeh is a fermented food of beans, it can be used as meat.

Just bit into it, even though the tempeh taste was refreshing and bland.

However, the portion feels substantial, and the strange texture is like meat.

…

"I see, kelp and mushrooms, using the delicious ingredients of these two, can make such a delicious dashi even if it is bonito that does not require Japanese dashi."

Involuntarily, Yise Hui was deeply trapped in it and could not extricate himself!

He didn't expect that Seiichiro could use such a novel technique to make such a delicious bowl of fragrant ramen!

It can even be said that this bowl of fragrant ramen is Yukihira Joichiro's life.
