Chapter 136 [Mysterious Ramen Shop!]
The huge carp streamers of various colors are full of the smoky spring breeze in the air, and the almost horizontal bodies of the fish move and sway with the direction of the wind, as if they are swimming in the blue lake of the sky. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's about to be a day off for Children's Day.
Children's Day in the island country is held on May 5 every year, and together with the previous two statutory holidays and the weekends before and after, you can take a week off.
Therefore, the first week of May is generally referred to as "Golden Week".
Corresponding to this, September also has a similar opportunity to take consecutive days off, known as "Silver Week".
Early on Saturday morning, Kenichi Igarashi was woken up by Kana and Linda on their mobile phones, and the two of them told them to go to a certain chome in Akihabara before ten o'clock.
The place is not far from my company and residence, but yesterday's "Fantasia Friday" I have been accompanying customers to socialize until late at night, and I still have a headache, and I want to make up for a good night's sleep!
Kana and Linda are these two guys, what are they doing?!
That's it, one is a baby daughter, the other is the company's right-hand man, and let them make trouble!
And since hiring Linda as Kana's tutor, Kana's child seems to be much better disciplined than before, and his academic performance has also improved greatly, and it seems that his young subordinates do have two brushes!
Kenichi Igarashi struggled to get out of bed, washed up, and the deep hangover caused him to have no appetite for breakfast, although his stomach was empty.
The time was close to ten o'clock as agreed on the phone.
He is used to wearing formal clothes, even on weekends he likes to wear a shirt and trousers, and at most a casual suit over it.
Kenichi Igarashi got his hair straightened and walked all the way to the place designated by his daughter and his subordinates.
Well?
Here it is......
Kenichi Igarashi remembered that it had been a long-closed store, and at least the last time he walked by, the windows were still broken, and the door panels had accumulated a thick layer of dust.
Now, the door panel is still the same heavy as before, but it feels like it has been wiped new, and there is a faint smell of fire.
As he was hesitating, a young girl in her early twenties, dressed in black, bowed deeply to him.
"Welcome to your visit! During the trial operation of our store, all the dishes will be free of charge for your guests!
"Restaurant?Dishes?...... Well, excuse me. Kenichi Igarashi hesitated, but walked into the store.
The light in the small shop is not very bright, and the antique paulownia wood planks are like a natural shadow wall, which happens to block the view of diners who step through the door and enter the threshold. In the left-hand corner after entering, there is a ticket vending machine, and on the right-hand side, there are rows of old-fashioned mahogany Taishi chairs.
"Please order. The waitress girl took a key and twisted it on a keyhole, and all the buttons of the ticket vending machine lit up. After all, she just introduced: during the trial operation, all customers will be free!
Kenichi Igarashi took out his reading glasses from his bosom and put them on, and saw the pictures on each button on the ticket vending machine:
The first row of buttons is full of photos of ramen noodles, from Hakata's fine noodles to Yokohama's thick noodles, from Inaniwa soba noodles to Tagaga egg noodles, there are as many as 10 types of noodles depending on the flour material and production process!
This......
Kenichi Igarashi has never seen so many kinds of noodles!
I saw a button on the far right that said "Our store signboard". He thought about it and pressed the button.
"Toot!" a food ticket fell through the ticket slot into a metal groove.
The second row is the topping of ramen, and you can eat everything from "noodle topping" to "braised egg", "hot spring egg", "dried bamboo shoots", "bean sprouts", "seaweed", "cherry shrimp", "char siu", "kamaboko", and "tantan noodle bolognese".
The button on the far right of the second row reads "Perfect Grand Slam".
Well, that's it!
The third row is drinks, including general oolong tea, green tea, barley tea, buckwheat tea, and even the lactic acid drink "Yakudo".
Kenichi Igarashi pressed the "buckwheat tea" and handed it to the little girl along with the two food coupons just now.
"Please, then, here!" the little girl gracefully turned, leading the guest towards the deep passageway.
Walk through a plexiglass corridor to a U-shaped space. Beneath the plexiglass, flowers and grass stand out in a dimly lit room, making you feel like you're in a fairyland.
The "U" space is radioactively filled with Taishi chairs, and the desks are divided into spaces of different sizes by wooden boards like the self-study room of the library, some with single seats and some with double seats.
Kenichi Igarashi looked new and interesting, and chose a single seat to sit down, and the waitress girl next to him had already handed over a hot towel and ice water.
The seated guest wiped his hands with a towel while looking at the wooden board directly opposite, wondering what mechanism was hidden behind it.
After striking three times from the inside, the wooden board opened a small window - the little girl just now walked behind the wooden board at some point, and handed the guest a piece of paper and a pen from it with a smile.
How do I take a questionnaire before eating?
Kenichi Igarashi had no choice but to take out his reading glasses and put them on again.
"Please fill it out and press this bell. The little girl said "rude" and gently closed the window.
What kind of questionnaire is this?
He picked it up and read it line by line:
Choose whether the dough is soft or hard: cook for 10 seconds (hardest) and cook for 15 seconds (slightly harder...... Cook for about 30 seconds (runny). Of course, there is another option at the end - we recommend hardness.
Please choose the intensity of the soup: refreshing, fragrant, rich, viscous, and at the end there is still a "recommended shade of the soup".
That's kind of interesting!
Next is the amount of hot sauce: from not spicy, slightly spicy to spicy to so hot that you can't open your eyes, and there are also several levels.
At the bottom, the refills and drinks from the coupon dispenser are still printed for diners to make secondary adjustments.
Kenichi Igarashi chose the hardness and intensity recommended by the store, but chose a "slightly spicy" hot sauce and pressed the electric bell.
After a while, the little window was still open, and the little girl took away the pen and paper, bowed slightly, and closed the window again.
What is selling in this gourd?
Kenichi Igarashi folded his arms and looked up and down, left and right, with indescribable doubts in his heart.
About a moment later, the wooden plank was struck three more times, and the small window was opened again.
The windows haven't fully opened, and a strong aroma has wafted to the only diner in the restaurant. Ken Igarashi's stomach was empty, and when he could be stimulated by this aroma, he didn't feel his index finger move and the bottom of his tongue was full of relish.
In the white mist, this time it was a chubby young chef who held a bowl of freshly cooked noodles and a plate of dazzling dishes in front of the diners, smiled and said "You use it slowly", still gently closing the small window.
In the semi-enclosed space, only one person and one side remained, and the white heat and aroma filled between the people and the face.
There is no sound here.
This is simply the realm of "Zen".
Kenichi Igarashi took a pair of chopsticks and spoons, and said respectfully, "I'm moving," and I couldn't wait to start it.
The soup is milky white and rich, with white crystal marrow floating in the bone broth. The noodles are cooked moderately soft and hard, and the soup is wide and tight, and it is suitable for wet and dry. The top of the noodles is dotted with a touch of bright red hot sauce, and the strong visual contrast of pure white and a little red enhances the anticipation of smell and taste, and makes people can't help but leave their saliva behind.
The diner didn't care about the ingredients next to him, picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of noodle soup, put it in his mouth, and sipped it gently, but he felt that his mouth was full of fragrance, indescribably salty, fragrant and delicious, and the soup was well served!
He couldn't bear to stir up the bright red hot sauce, so he first picked up a small wisp of noodles, sucked it into his mouth, and when he chewed it gently, he only felt that the noodles were smooth and smooth, with strong tendons, and the deliciousness of the soup, it was really memorable.
Look at the dazzling array of toppings next to it, such as the marinated eggs with an attractive aroma, the dried bamboo shoots that have absorbed the sauce, the jade carving-like bean sprouts, the pink and transparent cherry shrimp, the red and white delicate fish cakes, the fat and thin thickly cut barbecued pork, and the crispy large seaweed. However, with so many ingredients in the bowl, the amount of noodles may not be enough.
yes, isn't there an increase in the amount of noodles?!
As the head of a trading company, he does have a set of resources integration!
