Chapter 37: Eating Ramen (Eating and Begging)
When the hour hand finally pointed to seven o'clock, Su Zhongkang closed the door of the teahouse without saying a word, and then ran upstairs impatiently. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the past, he usually took a small blue pill, so that he could last all day, which was simple and trouble-free. But he doesn't want to do that right now.
Ever since he won the soup and tea ramen, what has been on his mind is the grand prize worth 6,000 prestige points. If he hadn't had any ingredients at the time, he would have made them and tasted them.
He took three steps and two steps, and suddenly came to the kitchen on the second floor, and took out all the ingredients that had just arrived today from the refrigerator.
These ingredients are all carefully grown by those ingredient suppliers, and each one is poured into their efforts, so both the appearance and the price are quite high.
It's no wonder that people nowadays are less and less involved in cooking for themselves, and the cost of a meal is much higher than that of the little blue pill. Su Zhongkang looked at the dazzling array of ingredients, and felt a little excited in his heart, but when he thought of the money he spent on these ingredients, he felt a little heartache.
However, he was really looking forward to the taste of this thick soup and tea-flavored ramen, so he gritted his teeth and passed it like this. Anyway, the money is spent, and no matter how heartache it is, it's too late to regret it.
Due to the wide variety of ingredients he bought this time, he put all the excess ingredients in the refrigerator to keep them fresh after sifting through them, and kept them for later use.
As a foodie who is reluctant to spend lavishly, his life in the past few days has really suffocated him, and every day is a small blue pill, and a bird's egg fades out of his mouth. So, he decided to be willful today, and planned to make a seafood-flavored soup and tea flavor ramen to try first.
As soon as he opened the seafood foam box, several shrimp half a palm-wide jumped out and jumped on the floor, which scared him a lot.
Good guy, it's still alive. Su Zhongkang didn't have time to think too much, so he hurriedly clumsily fished for shrimp in the kitchen.
At first, he didn't have much experience, and when he caught half of it, he put them in a container without a lid, and when he left, the shrimp jumped out one after another, and he was instantly dumbfounded.
When he caught these wild shrimps, he was also sweating. Next, he picks out the shrimp threads, peels off the shrimp heads and shells, marinates the shrimp with a little salt, black pepper and cornstarch in his secret tea powder, sets them aside, and then puts the shrimp heads and shells in a baking tray and bakes them in the oven.
In the meantime, he was busy cleaning and cutting the side dishes and ingredients, especially the clams and octopus heads.
After these preliminary preparations were made, he began to boil the broth. He stir-fried the ingredients, then mixed them with the fragrant shrimp heads and shells, and when they were almost hot, he put them in the spring water according to the amount, boiled them over high heat at first, and then slowly simmered them over low heat, and he also put some spices from time to time, especially a bag of tea wrapped in gauze.
After about twenty minutes, the pot of stock was brewed with a rich aroma, and after he fished out and squeezed all the ingredients out of the pot, the stock was complete.
Although the soup stock does not take a lot of time and the process is not complicated, Su Zhongkang knows that for ramen, the soup stock can be said to be crucial, and its success is one of the important factors in measuring whether a bowl of ramen is delicious. And the secret of the fragrant broth he brewed lies in his tea bag and the control of the heat.
Without these two factors, the soup stock is only average.
After another five minutes, when Su Zhongkang had put all the ramen in the pot on a plate, he knew that it was time to review the results.
Just smelling this fragrant ramen makes your mouth water.
He eagerly picked up the spoon, scooped a mouthful of the soup, and after carefully blowing a few breaths, put it in his mouth.
Suddenly, a rich fresh sweetness slowly dissolved in his mouth, this fresh sweetness with the sweetness of vegetables and fruits, completely unable to feel the fishy astringency in the seafood, and in addition to the fresh sweetness, you can also taste the sweetness of some tea aroma, and finally end with a subtle spicy taste.
Su Zhongkang felt the taste in his mouth with his heart, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. At this moment, he finally felt a little bad. Now that he has this kind of skill, how will he face the little blue pill in the future.
However, this thought was then put behind him. His only obsession now is to wipe out what he thinks is the best bowl of ramen ever.
After a while, the bowl was empty, and even the soup was gone. And Su Zhongkang still felt that it was not enough, seeing that there were still a lot of those broths, he went to cook a bigger bowl again, and ate until his stomach was round, so he gave up.
This meal was really the best meal he had ever had since he crossed over. In this short period of time, he forgot everything, and only the bowl on the table was in his eyes, even if the sky fell, he should not frown.
After eating and drinking, with this physical satisfaction and spiritual relaxation, he easily roasted two catties of Huangshan Maofeng tea without a pause.
Although these two catties of tea are only above the third-class excellent grade, and there is no small outbreak into a second-class boutique grade, it can be regarded as a great progress.
At the same time, in a building in the NS District of Fujian, the rookie singer card competition finally started tonight.
In several brightly lit studios, an audition is in full swing.
According to the rules of the competition, in the next few days, all the successful applicants will go through the first round of auditions, from which 50 high-quality singers will be selected, and then compete for 16 seats in the finals after the semi-finals.
Because the organizer is only a local TV station, and the jurisdiction is only two or three nearby provinces, but Minnan City is a more developed coastal area, and the population base is also relatively high among the upper middle cities, plus the award-winning benefits of this competition are not bad, so it is also a large-scale event in the entire Huaxia District, attracting more than 3,000 professional singers and more than 10,000 enthusiasts to participate.
Of course, it is far from being able to compare with the events hosted by entertainment TV stations that can radiate the entire Huaxia region and have strong influence, but it is still the largest in Fujian Province in recent years.
At this moment, a group of seven or eight men and women were standing outside the studio from a distance and talking, and one of them, a man with a rather tall figure, was surrounded by the rest of the people.
"Senior brother, since you're here, let's listen to it. According to reliable sources, there are several very powerful characters this time. You have to be careful. One of the girls, who had a good figure and a lot of material on her chest, lowered her voice and said. If Su Zhongkang was present, he would definitely recognize this person as Huang Tiantian.
"Yes, this is something that Dani won for Tian Tian's sake, and this opportunity can't be easily wasted." Another girl standing next to Huang Tiantian immediately chimed in.
