"Where is Takizawa Izumi who came to challenge?" Liu Mang changed his clothes and walked out of the guest room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I'm waiting in the lobby on the third floor of the hotel. Jiro Ida replied.

"He's coming alone?"

"It seems like yes. Jiro Ida pressed the button to get off the elevator.

As soon as I got out of the elevator door, a group of people were already surrounded by darkness outside the door, and the sound of the shutter pressing came and went, and everyone who was in the spotlight couldn't open their eyes.

"Damn!" Five Eyes and Wu Jing, who were together, were taken aback by the sudden situation.

"Mr. Liu Mang, I'm a reporter from the Asahi Shimbun, are you really ready to challenge the entire Toei cuisine world?" asked a beautiful woman in an off-blue professional suit.

"It's not a challenge, it's a competition!" Liu Mang corrected: "This is also the reason why I came to Dongying to participate in the exchange meeting." ”

"Mr. Liu Mang, this time it's the heir of Senwei Ramen, Takizawa Izumi. His father is our 'ramen god', are you confident of winning?" asked another male reporter.

"It's not about winning or losing, it's about the process. Liu Mang smiled slightly.

"Mr. Liu Mang, you have an idiom in China, called 'jumping beam clown', I don't know if it is in line with your current state? And ramen is the most popular dish in our Dongying, there are thousands of ramen restaurants in Kyoto alone, and there are no endless layers of ramen of various flavors, don't you think the hope of winning is very slim?"

Compared with the previous two people, the question of this man in a suit is more acute now, and there is even an element of insult in it.

"I want to correct two points. First, ramen was introduced to Toei from China, and that is the homeland of ramen. Second, as for who the clown is, it has to be told by facts. Although Liu Mang was very unhappy in his heart, he did not show it on his face, but said lightly.

"Please let ......" The five-eyed and sturdy body has finally played a role now. He struggled to squeeze through the crowd in front of him, and walked towards the center of the hall with Liu Mang and the others.

"Are you Liu Mang?" came to the center of the hall, a middle-aged man in a snow-white kimono, with a shaved scalp and a black suitcase in his hand, walked up and asked.

"Yes, are you Takizawa Quan?" Liu Mang looked up and down and found that this man was very energetic, giving people a very imposing feeling.

"I saw your news in the newspaper, saying that you are the culinary god of China, and now you are ready to challenge the culinary world of Dongying?" Takizawa Quan's face was full of disdain: "With all due respect, Mr. Liu Mang, you are too arrogant!"

"Arrogant? I don't think so. Liu Mang smiled slightly and did not refute.

A person like Takizawa Quan, if he doesn't want to step on him to become famous, he is the kind of person who has a hot brain and rushes up when he is instigated, a typical cannon fodder player.

"Okay, please advise!" Takizawa Izumi didn't talk nonsense and bowed.

"Boss, what are you doing today?" "Five-eyed approach.

"Don't worry, I'll ask first. Liu Mang looked around: "Mr. Takizawa, since it is a competition, then it will definitely be decided by the winner, I don't know what the evaluation method is?"

"Oh, I watched your last match with Fukuda-kun, and I think it's fairer to invite passers-by, and use the taste of noodles to determine the winner without knowing who did it. ”

Confident in his craft, Takizawa learned to make ramen at his family's noodle shop with his father as a teenager. After so many years of practice, even his father praised him for being able to take charge on his own.

What Takizawa Izumi lacks now is an opportunity, a chance to let all the people of Toei know about him. So after seeing Liu Mang's news in the newspaper, he immediately came.

As long as he wins the Chinese in front of him, his reputation will immediately spread throughout Dongying, so as to live up to his father's teachings for many years.

"Well, that's fair. Liu Mang agrees with this way of judging, real food is for the public, and it is very appropriate for ordinary people to judge the advantages and disadvantages.

"Xiao Wu, you help me make the noodles, and I'll make the soup base. ”

"Boss, let's face Yangchun. ”

"No!" Liu Mang shook his head: "Today I'm going to make a bowl of Dongying ramen." ”

"Huh?

Five Eyes is very strange, 'Yangchun White Snow Noodles' is a masterpiece in terms of appearance and taste, and it is easy to win. But why did the boss of his own family go far and change to another kind of noodles that had never been made before?

"If I make a bowl of noodles that they have never eaten, although it tastes good, you can tell who made it, in this case, who do you say they will support?" Liu Mang explained.

"Oh, that's the case!" Five-Eyes suddenly realized, "That makes sense, but I've never seen you make Toei's ramen." ”

"It's okay, cooking is a good thing. In the past few days in Toei, I have eaten a lot of ramen, and I have a general understanding of the tastes of Toei people, and it is not difficult to make a bowl of ramen that satisfies them. As soon as he talked about cooking, Liu Mang's eyebrows immediately danced.

"Then what do I use? I think the noodles of the Toei people seem to be made of buckwheat. ”

"Soba noodles are just one of them, ramen noodles or alkaline water surface is more appropriate, I will mix the content of flour and alkaline water, you just have to mix, and then I will apply the Lanzhou ramen method to make noodles." ”

"Understood. Five-eyed nodded, ready to go.

Liu Mang walked to the area where the ingredients were placed in the hall and began to choose the ingredients to be used today.

During this time, under the leadership of Jiro Ida, Liu Mang has eaten a lot of ramen, and he also has a general understanding of the practice of Toei ramen.

Although Toei ramen came from China, it is slightly different from the current noodles in China.

Chinese ramen retains the orthodox noodle soup form in China, with ingredients to bring out its unique taste.

On the other hand, the ingredients of Japanese ramen are rarely changed, and they are generally based on corn, barbecued pork, seaweed, dried bamboo shoots, eggs, bean sprouts, and seafood.

However, the Toei ramen itself does not change depending on the ingredients, because the fusion of soup and noodles is the highlight of Toei ramen.

Pork bones, beef bones, is the necessary raw materials for the soup, Dongying people like seafood, so Liu Mang also specially selected some Dongying specialty bonito flowers to add sweetness to the soup.

In addition to the soup, the toppings of ramen generally prefer large pieces of pork. So Liu Mang picked up a large piece of pork shoulder and some fresh eggs and threw them into the basket.

I have to say that in order to win Liu Mang's favor in the early stage, Hachiro Yamano didn't do anything about this ingredient, and the ingredients on the shelves in the hall were very good, which saved him a lot of trouble.

In the hall, the cameras have already been set up, gearing up with the people from the TV station, preparing to broadcast the showdown between China and Dongying Ramen live.
