Chapter 035, Best Pasta
"When mixing noodles, add a little more alkaline water, which affects the taste, the dough is fermented too much, and there is soup oozing out of the folds, and the most important thing is that it is too small!" Wen Xi held up a sign with a score of 7.5 points, and was a little disappointed with the famous Goubuli buns, but in fact, he still showed mercy, and the score given by the system was only 7 points, which was worthy of a tie with Lao Liu's salted bean curd.
The difference is that Goubuli buns are already a national intangible cultural heritage!
Wen Xi's last sentence that the buns are too small is not a joke, there is only one steamed bun in a cage, and the steamed bun of this size will be sold for 88 yuan in the store! Although Wen Xi had never been to the old store in Zhili to taste the steamed buns before he crossed, he remembered it clearly, and a certain anchor compared it with his fist during the live broadcast, which should be the size of a man's fist, not the size of a child's fist now.
Even if the black pork is expensive, there are more green onions than meat in this bun, and the first thing to taste is not the meat but the spicy taste of green onions! This is too perfunctory for consumers, Wen Xi looked at Master Gao's disapproving appearance and became angry, and simply stopped explaining.
"It seems that our teacher Xiaowen is not full! It doesn't matter, Lanzhou ramen will be served immediately!" Seeing Master Gao's face, Da Fat quickly took a step forward and used the advantage of his size to block Master Gao, coupled with this explanation, he finally saved some face for him.
Wen Xi took a sip of warm boiled water to remove the residual steamed bun flavor in his mouth, and concentrated on tasting the large bowl of beef ramen in front of him.
Some people say that to evaluate whether Lanzhou ramen is authentic or not, it depends on whether there is a free bowl of soup in the store, and this soup must be a beef and mutton liver soup that cleanses the liver and brightens the purpose. Of course, if the gift soup is muddy, it is just a four-way dislike.
Wen Xi was a person who had eaten authentic Lanzhou ramen before he crossed over, and knew that all the operations of the store should start with the customer ordering noodles. It's just that in order to save the live broadcast time, the program team advanced the link of the master's ramen, otherwise while drinking the soup, watching the master play acrobatic throwing noodles, the ramen is almost already in the pot after drinking the soup, which is called the eyes are not empty and the mouth is not empty.
The beef ramen in front of Wenxi is the most traditional style, which is in line with the five characteristics of Lanzhou clear soup beef noodles "one clear, two white, three red, four green, and five yellow", that is, the beef soup is clear and fragrant, the radish slices are white, the chili oil is bright red, the coriander and garlic are fresh and green, and the noodles are smooth and yellow.
Since there was no soup, Wen Xi took a mouthful of soup before eating noodles, and the power of beef warming seemed to be instantly absorbed by the human body through the stomach, Wen Xi felt warm all over his body after drinking two spoonfuls, and his forehead under the mouth of the three chopsticks noodles was already sweating slightly.
"8.5 points!" Wen Xi held up the sign, perhaps disappointed by the goubuli buns, this bowl of Lanzhou ramen tasted particularly pleasantly surprised.
"Teacher Xiaowen, why did you give 8.5 points this time?" The big fat leaned over and asked, and Master Gao's eyes that walked back to the operation room shot straight like a knife.
"First of all, he has all the characteristics of traditional Lanzhou beef ramen, whether it is the taste of the clear soup or the first look when it is served, it makes me very appetizing. The beef is soft and rotten, the ramen is delicious, if you can warm your stomach with a bowl of soup first, and then watch the master roll the noodles while drinking the soup, or bring some balsamic vinegar when you serve it, it will be even more perfect!" Wen Xi smashed his mouth and put down his chopsticks, there are so many delicacies waiting for him in the back, it is not cost-effective to eat at once.
"It is said that Lanzhou people will be angry if they don't have a 'beef bowl' for three days, and this beef bowl is talking about Lanzhou beef ramen. Master, if I live in your city, I will definitely eat three meals a day, and the restaurant has a heart, and the diners will naturally not get tired of eating. Let's just talk about this noodle, the little literati is small, and the mouth is also a cherry mouth, and the noodles on the master are Yangmai Ling that can be eaten in small bites; Mr. Hu has good teeth, and the noodles on him are elastic and chewy; when I am older, the master understands me, and what I have on is a nest of silk that is easy to bite off; and the other two teachers have leek leaf noodles with the thickness of leek leaves. I don't know if you have noticed, Mr. Hu's noodles are the widest, the earliest time to put into the pot, followed by Xiaowen's noodles, and finally my noodles, and finally brought out of the pot to our table to taste, the taste is just as good!
Chen Lao wiped his mouth with satisfaction, and the noodles under the master were all small bowls, and he ate them all. If it weren't for the fear that he would not be able to sit still after drinking too much soup, Chen Lao estimated that he would be able to return a bowl that was cleaner than washing to the store.
"Hey, it's really the widest face I've ever had. The store is wrong this time, I am hungry at this time, and it takes a lot of effort to chew the wide noodles, so I must deduct 0.5 points! Xiaowen is right, it is better to eat it with some balsamic vinegar, and I will deduct 0.5 points, and I will give 9 points! "There are still a few long noodles left in the bowl in the alley, and the soup is finished.
Teacher Liu and Teacher Li also gave high scores, and the master bowed and thanked him one by one, and Master Gao's face became more and more ugly.
The last dish is the mixed sauce noodles, which are still a small bowl per person.
The five judges here are all from the old capital, who has never eaten mixed sauce noodles, so if the store wants to get high scores in the hands of these high-end foodies, it is not possible to have a little heart, but the store chooses the most traditional method.
"The essence of jajangmyeon is the sauce, and the chef chose the yellow sauce, which is very good. The noodles taste very fragrant, it seems that the oil used for the fried sauce is lard, which has a disadvantage, the noodles are easy to lump when they are cold, and the fat of the lard is even worse for fat people like me and Mr. Chen. I give it 8.5 points!" Hutong drank some water and rinsed his mouth, the taste of mixed sauce noodles was too strong, and the next thing to serve was the light Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine in the eight major cuisines, and he didn't want to lose the taste when the time came.
"The color scheme is not beautiful enough, the cooked noodles are too dry, and foodies like me are not completely evenly mixed. Fortunately, it tastes home, which is not bad, I give it a 7.5 points. After eating, Mr. Li didn't have a trace of sauce on the corner of his mouth, and it didn't seem to be very refreshing. It's just that he is kind, although the score is not high, the explanation given by Mr. Li is still very gentle.
"It's better to put some fried peas, fried peanuts or something!" Wen Xi echoed Mr. Li's opinion and gave 8 points, and Chen Lao and Liu Lao also gave 8 points.
"Thank you for your hard work, and for our five judges. Below, we will announce the scores of the 3 century-old stores just now!" With a wave of the big fat hand, the audience immediately put down the food in their hands and looked up at the stage.
"Removing a maximum score of 10 points, removing a minimum score of 7.5 points, the final score of Goubuli Bun is 24.5 points!"
"Removing a maximum score of 10 points, removing a minimum score of 8 points, the final score of Lanzhou ramen is 26 points!"
"Removing a maximum score of 8.5 points and removing a minimum score of 7.5 points, the final score of Jingshi Jajangmian is 24 points!"
"So, the winner of the best pasta dish at the 1st Food Conference!" the dense drum beat sounded, and Da Fat excitedly pointed the microphone at the audience, and hundreds of viewers said the names of the winning restaurants in unison.
"Lanzhou ramen!"
