Chapter 170: Awesome Dad
Looking at the endless delicacies, Johnson patted his bulging belly, there was no way, his stomach was full and his eyes were hungry.
Go home and rest for your first night in Taipei. Tomorrow's itinerary has been arranged, and I must go to Zhongxiao East Road to try a bowl of beef noodles that once caused a sensation in the food forum.
Limited to 30 bowls per day...... NT$10,000 per bowl...... Two thousand and a half RMB!
At first, it attracted attention because of a Weibo post by real estate tycoon Feng Lun, who praised the store, and then it was constantly forwarded, and this legend slowly spread in the foodie circle.
Johnson is very curious, sky-high prices are not uncommon, and Modu has also eaten 888's hairy crab package, but a bowl of beef noodles dares to sell for 2,005?
The same goes for the three-star Michelin Business package!
Every time you encounter this kind of knowledge, you must see and see, cooking is also an art, and chefs also rely on craftsmanship to eat, in fact, it is no different from a craftsman.
Call in advance to make an appointment, and the next morning came to Zhongxiao East Road, the noodle restaurant is not big, the decoration is also very simple, and there is nothing special on the surface.
Entering the door, the ground is very clean, and the walls are covered with various newspaper clippings, the most striking thing is the news that you once got the first beef noodles on Treasure Island.
The boss in his early sixties is called Wang Chongyuan, who has been making noodles for 30 years, and he doesn't talk nonsense, whether he is a mule or a horse, pulling it out and slipping.
Finally, it was served with five boxy pieces of beef, a ball of noodles no more than 200 grams at most, and then the soup base......
Johnson picked up the chopsticks, picked up the beef first, looked at it carefully, and put it in his mouth, which is ......
Island Wagyu beef?
Pick up another piece, the taste has changed, should it be from Australia?
Finally, there is the beef tendon, which is soft and glutinous, fully absorbs the essence of the soup base, and bites down like a depth charge, exploding instantly!
Sure enough, this kind of small shop can be famous all over the world, and it must have something extraordinary. I can't help but order another bowl and want to study the secret carefully.
Boss Wang smiled and served another bowl of noodles, and seeing that Johnson was interested, he pointed to the beef noodles and smiled: "It tastes good, right? ”
Johnson stood up, there were no other guests now, and asked the boss to sit down and chat: "Your raw materials are really expensive, all the top imported beef, and even decide the position and shape of the knife according to the taste of different parts?"
Boss Wang laughed and said: "The most rare thing is this bowl of soup base, which is boiled and blended by six parts of the cow." 20 kg of beef bones, 10 kg of beef tendons, 5 kg of beef brisket, 5 kg of beef short ribs, etc., are boiled over high heat, medium heat, and low heat for 12 hours......"
"Remove the oil, precipitate, freeze, take the top essence, and make a soup. I've been boiling this bowl of soup for fifteen years!"
Johnson nodded secretly, and sure enough, he picked up the lasagna with his chopsticks, and the last bowl was thin noodles, with a silky texture, this time full of tenacity and chewiness.
Seeing that the customers were satisfied, the boss said confidently: "The store prepares more than 20 kinds of noodles, some wide and some thin, some round and some flat. No matter what taste you like, you can be satisfied!"
"120 grams of noodles, 5 4-inch pieces of beef, and a piece of beef tendon at the end. This piece is from the island country of Matsusaka, this piece is the United States, this is the Australian snowflake cow, and as for the beef tendon, Brazil is the strongest......"
"Cut each piece of beef into the specific shape that best fits it, for example, Matsusaka beef is slightly frozen before cutting it so that it can be cut into a neat shape. Australian beef is stewed and then removed from the bone......"
The boss was enthusiastic and full of pride, and Johnson listened and settled the accounts. Success is never easy, and each innovative dish must go through dozens or even hundreds of attempts.
According to the other party, in order to study the secret recipe, at least a few hundred cows were sacrificed, obediently, all of them were top-level imports......
Boss Wang seemed to see Johnson's thoughts, and sighed: "I have done countless experiments, and even the world has found the most suitable beef, and the beef raw materials alone have spent tens of millions of Taiwan dollars over the years." ”
"My wife once went crazy, and my wife complained that even when she slept and dreamed, she shouted beef noodles. In the end, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and finally ......"
In the face of this kind of senior, Johnson can only be described as awe-inspiring. The master often said:
It's easy for people to do one thing well,
The hard thing is to do only one thing in your life!
Looking at the boss's satisfied expression, the sense of accomplishment has gone far beyond the material and reached the spiritual level. There are always some people who spend their lives clinging to small things that seem trivial to ordinary people.
As long as you are attentive, even if you dig out a lot of dung, it will be auspicious from time to time.
Brush the toilet, and you can also brush out the island's cabinet minister!
Before leaving, I accidentally saw a group photo posted on the wall, it turned out to be Li Zongsheng, it turned out that he was also a die-hard fan here, and he often came to visit.
If you want to talk about treasure island artists, you appreciate Zhou Huajian and Li Zongsheng more, and of course Jay Chou can also. Probably influenced by his master, Johnson likes traditional style very much, coupled with his growth experience, his mental age far exceeds his biological age.
Since I was a child, I didn't have the care of my parents and relatives, and there were only two people around me who felt the most sorry for me: the dean's grandmother, and the master.
They are all old people who are over the age of sixties, and they must be more mature than their peers. After more than 20 years of eating and sleeping in the open, the blood has long been extinguished by the coldness of the real society......
God opens his eyes, inherits a huge inheritance, and just thinks about traveling in the mountains and rivers, enjoying food, walking around the world, and seeing a different life.
It doesn't matter what is right or wrong,
But peace of mind!
When I returned to the car, I accidentally remembered Li Zongsheng, my favorite songs in recent years are mortal songs and hills, known as the godfather of discourse music, but unfortunately I don't often sing songs, and it is rumored on the Internet that I like to make guitars?
After hesitating for a moment, I decided to make a phone call, wanting to make an appointment to meet each other, and chatting with idols is also a kind of satisfaction.
I quickly got a reply that Li Zongsheng happened to be nearby, and there was a warehouse as a studio, so he drove there directly.
Li Zongsheng was a little unkempt, with a scruffy beard, wearing a work uniform, and his body was covered with sawdust.
Johnson didn't care, he was originally bothering others, simply greeting, and began to visit, with a lot of semi-finished products hanging on the wall. Speaking of the guitar, Li Zongsheng, who was originally taciturn, became gushing.
"Actually, those who write songs are not necessarily better than those who sell xiaolongbao!" Li Zongsheng casually picked up a semi-finished product: "My first dream in life as a child was to be a carpenter, until I was six years old, and I accidentally learned the first chord on a borrowed tattered nylon ji." ”
"As a child, I studied very poorly, and in my early twenties, I had no idea what life would be like. I'm a science man majoring in electrical engineering, in today's words, it's definitely an out-and-out dick!"
Johnson smiled slightly, in his opinion, it was precisely because of these experiences that Li Zongsheng gave him a more marketable side of his character, so he was able to write such a classic as mortal songs.
Touching the rough surface of the guitar with his hand, he said: "I started making it at the age of 45, and each piano is purely handmade, and it must be tuned by myself. At the craziest time, I only slept three hours a day. ”
"A master once told me: use the heart of the world to do traditional things. Because it is a full set of handicrafts, even if the selection of materials, production procedures, and basic techniques of the two pianos are exactly the same, the final piano is still very different, which is the charm. ”
