Chapter 10: The Face of the Buddha

I have to say that Mariko's cooking skills are really good, and it didn't take long for the four Fukuoka dishes with all the colors and flavors to be made, and at this time Mariko began to joke about Aoyama: "Master Aoyama, when will your staple food somen be good?"

"Don't worry, soon, the water will be fine as soon as it boils. Aoyama casually agreed, although he had been rewarded with the "Somen Noodles" recipe by the system several days ago, but for a guy like him who has no meat and no joy, what is so delicious about somen noodles? If it weren't for wanting to show his hand in front of Mariko today, he wouldn't know when he would make this somen noodles.

In fact, this somen noodles are really simple to make, first boil the water, and then throw the dried noodles you bought, and you can take out the noodles when they are soft, the only secret is the somen skill that he performed when he was below, yes, after learning the recipe of "Somen Noodles", a skill called Somen automatically appeared in the skill bar of the system, but it can only be used ten times a day.

Originally, Mariko didn't take Qingshan's somen to heart, so what tricks could she make with just a boiled somen noodle? But after eating a few bites of the dish, she planned to drink a mouthful of noodle soup to quench her thirst and quench her oiliness.

But when this noodle soup was imported, she was surprised to find that although the noodle soup was very light, it had a rich flour aroma, as well as the natural crisp aroma of sesame oil, and a wisp of oil fragrance mixed with the sweetness of the water itself rushed into her throat, and then a breath rose upwards and down the esophagus, and instantly had a refreshing feeling.

Then she couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my God, Master Qingshan, this bowl of noodles of yours is really amazing!"

After speaking, Mariko couldn't wait to pick up a chopstick noodle and bite it down, only to feel that the noodles are full of elasticity and chewiness, and they are easy to swallow while enjoying the strength of the noodles.

So Mariko didn't care about anything else, and began to gulp down the noodles, not caring about the feelings of the green mountains opposite, and eating unusually devotedly and loudly.

Although Aoyama knows that there is a tradition of eating noodles in Japan, the more delicious the noodles, the louder the sound of eating, because this means that you are satisfied with the noodles and the praise of the noodle master, but a big beautiful woman sitting opposite you and eating so disregard for the image still makes Aoyama can't help but ask: "Eh, is this noodle so delicious?"

At this time, Mariko, who had just drunk the last mouthful of noodle soup, didn't bother to answer his question, because at the moment she felt full of energy and vitality, as if she had been ironed by a hot spring, and every pore on her body exuded extremely comfortable pleasure, and after a while, until this feeling gradually dissipated, she opened her eyes and gave a thumbs up to Aoyama and praised: "Master Aoyama, your noodles are so delicious, it is the first time I have eaten such delicious noodles when I am so big." ”

In fact, when he saw Mariko's gobbling appearance just now, Qingshan couldn't help but taste the noodles in the bowl in front of him, and then he couldn't believe his tongue, is this, such a delicious thing really made by himself, a cooking idiot who can't even cook instant noodles?

Then he began to devour it faster than Mariko, so when Mariko came back to ask him, he pretended to be calm and said, "Delicious, isn't it?" That's why I said this is my specialty dish, and I don't usually make it for anyone else. ”

"But it's a pity if you have such a good craft all the time buried like this, if you are willing to open a noodle restaurant, I believe that with this clear soup noodle soup, you can fill up every day. ”

Although Mariko just said it casually, it gave Aoyama a lot of inspiration, yes, since my somen noodles are so delicious and the effect is so magical, why not consider using it to make money? Although it can only make ten pots a day, it can take the high-priced route like "Food Supplier".

Well, I have to think about this carefully, first of all, I have to test how much of this magical clear soup noodle can be produced by the somen noodle skill once, and then how much a person needs to eat to produce this effect similar to washing tendons and marrow, so that it can be officially opened to the public. In addition, you have to think of a good way to promote it, so that everyone knows and loves this magical clear soup noodle soup, so that it can be expensive.

While Aoyama was pondering, Mariko asked cautiously on the side, "Master Aoyama, are you angry, will opening a noodle restaurant affect the image of your monks?"

Qingshan shook his head and explained: "How is it possible? Now the temple has nothing to do in order to increase income, even bars and blind dates, what is wrong with me opening a noodle restaurant? It's just that it takes a lot of energy to make this kind of noodles, and I can't make much in a day, so if it is really launched to the public, it must be sold at a high price, otherwise it will not be worth it at all, but what can I do to make everyone recognize that I am paying a high price to buy my noodles?"

"It's simple, first do a large-scale tasting meeting, let everyone discover the magic of clear soup noodles, and then everyone will naturally agree to buy it at a high price. Well, but it can't be called clear soup noodles, this name is too ordinary, you have to afford a more atmospheric, people feel that it is not ordinary at first glance. ”

"How about calling it the face of the Buddha? Is it tall enough?" Aoyama suggested on the side.

"The face of the Buddha?!good name!good name!Good name! It's very mysterious when you hear it, and you dare to connect with the temple. Mariko praised, and then asked curiously, "But what does this tall mean?"

Qingshan, who felt that he had lost his words, hurriedly explained: "Eh, it is the abbreviation of high-end atmosphere and grade." ”

"It sounds weird, but it's still quite interesting. Mariko muttered, and then said, "Well, now that the name problem is solved, then the next step is how to find an opportunity for everyone to come and try the Buddha's noodles." ”

"Yes, I'm also worried about this problem, after all, I'm a temple here, and it always feels weird to suddenly let pilgrims come to eat noodles for no reason. Aoyama said with a frown.

At this time, Mariko suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind: "Oops, I thought of a good way!"

PS: I plan to incorporate all the elements from "Gourmet Supplier" and "Pet King"!
