This contest to make ramen has been put on the line, and it has risen to a certain height. So Liu Heming, the wild cook, also paid a little attention, and didn't go out the next morning to talk nonsense, and rested in the hotel to prepare for the battle.

It's just that this break is just relative to going out to play. Fooling around with Alex, teasing and making trouble, this is also in the category of rest.

"OK, boss, we can go. After looking at the time, Suzanne said excitedly.

"Alright, let's go over there and get ready. Liu Heming put Alex directly on his shoulder.

Don't look at the little guy, who has grown a lot now, Liu Heming will carry her like this a lot of times. No way, he really cares about this girl.

TC has a lot of things here, all kinds of ingredients and flour, and a big bag. This is only on the hotel side, and we will have to go to the plane to pick up some later.

Come here on Ramen Street, good guys, it's really not a small scene. The small ramen street is already full of people, and there are police officers here to maintain order.

I don't know if the rest of the ramen shops will be unhappy if their business is affected today. But Liu Heming won't care, it's their own internal matter, and it has nothing to do with themselves.

Coming to yesterday's shop, Ichiro Asada was already sitting in the kitchen dressed as a chef. The expression is very serious, very serious, not at all moved by external objects.

"Mr. Asada, can I use the ingredients I brought with me?" asked Liu Heming with a smile.

Ichiro Asada nodded.

Liu Heming came to the place that had been prepared for him a long time ago, and then began to operate.

There is no ramen agent in his ramen, just salt to mix it. After making peace, he put it aside. Even if he is confident, he has to prepare soup.

The raw material is soup skin jelly, and then I asked the owner here for a few pork bones, and I started to boil directly on the side.

After thinking about it, he opened the remaining bag of noodles again, and after reconciling it, he also buttoned it with a basin and put it aside.

This move of his finally caught the attention of Ichiro Asada. With so many noodles, I must be confident enough to feel that the ramen I make is more popular.

Otherwise, what are you doing with so many faces? Aren't you humiliating yourself? When no one eats it, put it aside, it's a big joke.

Alex was not idle, and began to wash radishes and peel green onions on the side, looking also very serious. As Liu Heming's top chef, people also have to contribute to today's competition.

Liu Heming's state is very relaxed, even if the atmosphere here is a little tense, and there are cameras in front of him, he doesn't care at all. When he was almost awake, he began to rub it.

A large ball of noodles was almost kneaded out of his hands, not only on the board, but also carried into the air by him. Such a large mass of noodles seemed to have no weight in his hands, which also surprised the onlookers.

Ichiro Asada on the side and the shopkeeper Ono Dairi on the side couldn't help frowning a little, they are connoisseurs, and they know whether this noodles are well or not, the key is to rub them.

Only when you knead hard enough, can you knead the "strength" of the dough. And the noodles kneaded by hand are not comparable to the noodles stirred by the machine.

Liu Heming kneaded it for a long time, and it took nearly an hour to knead the dough before putting it aside, "Mr. Asada, when will it start?"

"You can get started now. Ichiro Asada stood up, and after saying that, he picked up the strap on the side and wrapped it around his head.

After cleaning his hands on the side and drying them carefully, Ichiro Asada showed off his knives, which he also picked up and wiped with a white cloth on the side.

Liu Heming admired it a little in his heart, although this old man was a little stubborn, but in the matter of making ramen, he had reached the level of enchantment.

He didn't do it in a hurry, but first looked at Ichiro Asada's craftsmanship.

Ichiro Asada also has a special way of making noodles, and after kneading the dough, he uses a knife to cut it. This is an old-school Japanese ramen technique that is only used when it is delicately made, and in ramen shops, it is pressed out by machine.

The old man's knife work is also very sharp, and at this point, he has also won Liu Heming's approval, which is on par with his own knife work.

Ichiro Asada is very careful when cooking noodles and putting dishes on top when he puts them in the bowls. After a large bowl of hot tonkotsu ramen was placed, it also attracted a burst of warm praise from the surrounding people.

"Alex, pull a ball of noodles for Daddy. Liu Heming said to the little guy.

"Okay. Dad, I want to eat thin noodles. The little guy answered, and made his own request.

A large ball of noodles was dragged off the dough by Alex and carried to the board in front of Liu Heming. After Liu Heming rubbed it a few times, he began to stretch it.

This is also a difference between Chinese ramen and Japanese ramen, where the noodles are basically rolled by hand, and they are made with knives or machines.

In the first bowl of noodles, Liu Heming didn't pull too many buttons. This is for others to taste, and the next bowl is for the girl. After the seven buttons were stretched, with a light pull, these noodles were thrown into the pot on the side.

Grab an empty bowl on the side and pour the soup directly over the boiled ramen noodles after boiling cold water. I picked up the big white radish on the side again, and clicked and chopped it a few times with a kitchen knife, and the almost transparent radish slices spread a layer on top of the noodle soup.

Today is a competition, so he has put a little more thought, otherwise he will put these radishes at will.

After the radish slices were cut, he grabbed the green onion on the side and sprinkled it in the middle of the circle around the radish slices, and then scooped a small spoonful of chili oil and put it on top.

Although there are not so many side dishes compared to Ichiro Asada, this appearance is not bad at all.

After finishing it, Liu Heming pushed his prepared noodles to Ichiro Asada and asked him to taste them first. Then he got busy again and made a finer dough for his daughter.

Now he was also very skilled, and Sasha had become accustomed to them in the pasture, but they were so shocked that they could not speak when they saw him pull out a thousand strands of flour as thin as hair.

They feel that this is not something that should be done by humans, it is too magical.

This noodle was made for my daughter and my wife, but it was not cooked, and after it was just put into the boiling soup, I took it out directly and put it in a bowl.

The noodles he made looked very plain, and these thin noodles were only a little more coriander than the bowl of noodles in front of him.

The little guy was not polite at all, picked up the chopsticks on the side, stirred the noodles, picked up the thin slices of radish inside, and ate it in a big bite.

Ichiro Asada on the side is also eating noodles, and he eats much more meticulously than Alex.

He knew that Liu Heming cut these radishes so thin so that the soup could be cooked directly and remove the raw taste of the radish. He himself also admired Liu Heming's knife work, because Liu Heming did not cut it on the board, but took the whole radish in his hand and cut it out with a kitchen knife hanging in the air.

As an anti-hegemon in the ramen industry, he also knows that the core of ramen is actually soup, no matter how good the noodles are, if the soup is not delicious enough, then this bowl of noodles will not be rated as high-quality.

Scooping a small spoonful of clear soup with a spoon, he sighed in his heart after tasting it. There is no excess seasoning flavor, only the fullness and smoothness of the bone broth.

If the Japanese-style ramen has reached the extreme of the compound use of seasonings, then Liu Heming's bowl of clear soup also uses the craftsmanship of salt water noodles to the extreme.

From this point, it can be seen that Liu Heming's words yesterday were not wrong, and people are really good at this.

When he took another bite of noodles, he was stunned. Even when making tonkotsu ramen, the noodles absorb a lot of soup and don't seem to have the same flavor as this bowl.

The point is that Liu Heming doesn't put much soup in the bowl, and if you stir the noodles, you can't seem to see the soup. However, when you eat it, the strength of the noodles and the heaviness of the soup can be perfectly blended.

He slowly and carefully tasted every bite he ate, and Alex had already eaten all the noodles in the small bowl. It also meets the standard of their ramen eating, and there is not a drop left.

This soup is not an ordinary soup, there are so many ingredients in that soup jelly, where can ordinary tonkotsu soup be compared.

Liu Heming was waiting for Ichiro Asada slowly on the side, and after he finished eating the whole bowl of noodles, this opened the prelude to the real competition between the two.

The criterion for judging is to see who the customer has a higher evaluation of the noodles, and the bowl made by Liu Heming just now is just for Ichiro Asada to taste.

As for the bowl made by Ichiro Asada, he had no interest in tasting it. It's not that he looks down on him, but when he cooks, he doesn't eat heavily.

When I started making it, I made small bowls of noodles just to give it to the onlookers. You think it's delicious, and you can continue to eat it.

In the beginning, Ichiro Asada had an advantage in sales speed, and basically everyone here ate the noodles he made. But Liu Heming's noodles are also very attractive, which is a craft they have never seen.

With someone trying, it's out of control.

Of course, the seasoning in the soup is full of flavor and can bring a richer sense of layering. But Liu Heming's clear soup doesn't taste bad, and it tastes very refreshing, and it doesn't feel thirsty like eating Japanese ramen.

After making all the noodles, Liu Heming also asked Ichiro Asada to get him a bowl, and a thick layer of barbecued pork was spread on top.

It's tiring to stretch the dough, it's absolutely physical work.

In fact, compared to now, who is strong and who is weak is no longer significant, don't look at the people outside, in the hearts of Liu Heming and Asada Ichiro, this is not important, what is important is an exchange of skills.

No one counts who sells the most noodles now, because even in their opinion, both of them are master ramen chefs.
