Chapter 264: Theme
Sapporo Ramen Street is a food street that doesn't have any starred restaurants, but some experienced foodies will know that that doesn't mean it's not a popular place!
Because for some of the "long-established shops" here, the reason why they are not rated as stars is not because of "taste", but because of what Erina said...... Wayward!
Almost all of the kind of ramen restaurants that Erina said have two or three level ramen shops on the signboard, and there are very few that have more than 10 seats!
That's right, ten seats, not ten!
In addition, other star restaurants, although there may not be many seats, many of them only have a dozen tables, but the decoration is absolutely impeccable, in line with the characteristics of the food provided, and there are many old restaurants here that taste good......
Most of them are the most common, small rooms, with two long wooden planks in the shape of an "L" around the ramen shop owner's cooking table, followed by usually no more than ten chairs. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There is no elaborate decoration, some do not even have warm air in winter, air conditioning in summer, and maybe even the sanitary conditions are very average!
Not to mention the service, the master chef cooks the noodles and chats with customers about the parents' shortcomings, and there are many long-established ramen restaurants whose business hours are also very capricious.
Slightly better is that it starts at noon every day and closes when it is sold out, and the more excessive business hours are completely "casual", which also makes many customers criticize.
It is obviously unlikely that such a store will get star certification......
However, Erina also said that the masters of those long-established shops are by no means self-reliant, and many of them are old customers who ask her to taste them once a year, which means that their ramen is changing and improving every year!
Obviously, those masters, in addition to the short business hours, also used a large part of their efforts to improve the formula, and it is this research spirit that has created today's Hui ...... Well, not very brilliant either, after all, no more than ten guests were received at the same time!
But there are obviously exceptions......
"Sunbird ramen? Is that a one-star ramen shop? After Liu Pleiades heard the conversation of passers-by, he immediately asked Erina for confirmation.
"That's right, I didn't expect them to come...... By the way, the grandson of their master should be about 20 years old, and he should be the one who came! Erina frowned.
"What is the nature of the Hitori ramen? Is it really a pure ramen shop? Liu Pleiades wondered.
"Well, it's one of those L-shaped ramen shops, with a total of nine locations...... It's just that I heard that before they welcomed the certification, they fixed the business hours and renovated the store a little, although it was still very crowded,...... Coupled with the smile and silence that the master had been taught by his grandson for another month, he finally made him quietly present his signature soy sauce ramen when the certifier came, and kept a stiff smile......" Erina said an interesting anecdote she had heard.
"Huh? This can also be done? I look at a lot of star-rated restaurants, even if it's one star, it's ...... in all aspects" Liu Pleiades wants to say, this level is not good, right? It's still quite a bit different from other one-star restaurants, right?
"It's precisely because he's 'terrible' in all aspects that he can't be underestimated!" Erina affirmed.
Liu Pleiades nodded knowingly......
In other words, although some changes were made before the certification of "Hitori Ramen", that level of "change" is still miserable compared to other one-star restaurants, and it can only give the certifier an "excuse" to convince himself!
Of course, it wasn't because the certifiers were bribed, or that it wasn't the material existence that bribed them, but the signature soy sauce ramen of the time.
In other words, this one-star ramen shop is the only one-star ramen shop whose signature noodles are definitely not only one-star level......
"But don't worry too much, right? Erina also said that the grandson must be under 25 years old, and all the dashi has to be made by himself...... It's impossible to fully reproduce the deliciousness of his grandfather's signature noodles, right? Yuhime said.
Although Liu Pleiades is not as sensitive as Ruishan in this regard, he is much stronger than the simple-minded Yuhime, and immediately said: "But he is now the representative of the only star ramen restaurant in the island country...... I guess the representatives of the long-established shops in Sapporo Ramen Street are now gearing up to prove whose ramen is more delicious! Knowing that he dared to come in this situation, he must have some dependence! ”
Indeed, there are many people who are not convinced by "Hitori Ramen", and there should be ramen shops in Sapporo Ramen Street that are on a par with "Hitori Ramen" in terms of ramen itself.
Liu felt that if it were him, he would definitely feel that "Sunbird Ramen" could pass the certification because he had worked things other than "Ramen", and at this time, the descendants of Sunbird Ramen participated in the competition, and they should think that this was a good opportunity to prove that their ramen was more delicious than "Sunbird Ramen".
That's why when I knew that my grandson was actually competing, many people thought it was strange......
If you're not sure at this time, wouldn't it be good to stay in Tokyo honestly?
actually came to Sapporo to compete, this nature is tantamount to preparing to cross the tower and kill after the full-screen ridicule, and there is a risk of sending people thousands of miles away if they are not careful......
But from another point of view, this also shows that this grandson really feels that he has a great advantage!
After listening to Erina's words, Liu Pleiades also thought about it seriously, about the finals...... As for the preliminaries, we have to wait for the "theme" to come out.
First of all, Liu Pleiades wants to think about not the recipe in the final, but to decide how far he should go......
After all, this time I was just in the assessment, and I participated in the competition by the way, not like the last time in Hokkaido, where Alice coerced and lured me.
But in the end, Liu Pleiades sighed and muttered: "It seems that I really have to 'desperate'......"
Obviously, Liu Pleiades also thought that now everyone is eyeing not only the grandson of Hinatia, but also his titles of "the ninth seat of the Ten Masterpieces" and "the champion of the Hokkaido Seafood Pastry Competition" are estimated to have been regarded as stepping stones!
And if the results are really bad, maybe they will be used by the "central food organ" in public opinion.
The most important thing is that although Liu Pleiades has not fully accepted the worldview of this world, things like "the dignity of cooking people" are also imperceptibly influencing him, so Liu Pleiades decided to do it in an instant!
Like the other students, Liu immediately went to buy a lot of high-quality flour, as well as other kinds of flour that can be made into "noodles", as well as some of the most likely ingredients for ramen, and was already waiting in the cooking room at 6 o'clock in the evening......
As for the cooking room, it is naturally the cooking class in Sapporo that the enlisted Enyue training is held, and all the reference year-olds are guaranteed to have their own cooking table.
At this time, Liu Pleiades and the students of Pole Star Liao, as well as Erina, are less than 20 people in a classroom, and the other students are also in the same building, and they have already made an appointment with other students, at 8 o'clock in the evening, 0 o'clock, and 4 o'clock in the morning, Liu Pleiades and Erina will go to each classroom three times, and then they can help taste it and give some opinions......
Because the assessment has become a competition, Liu Pleiades and Erina are also participants at this time, so there is no need to think about avoiding suspicion.
At six o'clock, everyone was staring at their phones...... As in the Hokkaido Seafood and Pastry Contest, participants will be notified of the questions by SMS in addition to radio and TV broadcasts.
Sure enough, at six o'clock, everyone's mobile phones rang on time......
In the cooking room, after reading a line or two words on the text message, everyone instinctively looked at Mito Yumei!
"Little Flesh Charm, it looks like we're in trouble......" Yuhime muttered with a flat mouth.
And Yu Mei is obviously in a worse mood now...... Seeing that she didn't even refute the title of "little meat charm", you can know how bad her mood is!
There are only two words for a topic...... Vegetarian soup, vegetarian toppings!
The toppings, that is, the side dishes on top of the ramen, the vegetarian soup toppings, obviously means that there can be no meat in the stock and side dishes......
Yu Mei suddenly felt that she was being targeted, and the whole person was not good.
Yuhime, who is good at game, also has a headache, but her situation is better, because she also has some attainments in mushroom cooking, and she is depressed...... Although there are also studies on other ingredients, the purpose of most of the research is to study how to make other ingredients play a role in complementing meat!
"Is vegan ramen? I always feel like I've seen it somewhere......" Sojin touched his chin and remembered.
Liu Pleiades couldn't help but pout: "Don't deliberately cover up your defeat, that's the cooking that Mr. Joichiro used when he defeated you for the 491st time...... What's it called, by the way, Enma King Ramen! ”
Chuangzhen was depressed for a while when he heard this, obviously he deliberately didn't think about it before!
Yu Mei was curious, and asked Liu Pleiades about this very domineering vegan ramen......
Well, if you look at the name alone, it will feel like ramen noodles with a layer of fatty meat.
"Vegan and heavy dashi...... plain, heavy......" Yu Mei muttered, as if she had some ideas.
And Liu Pleiades was thinking for a while, his eyes lit up, and he said to Erina: "At eight o'clock in a while, you are responsible for going to all the annual students to have a look!" I'll go out first, and then I'll leave it to me at midnight and four, and you can go and rest at any time if you're tired. ”
"Huh? Want to buy something? If you can't find it, you can contact the branch of Far Moon Resort here. Erina wondered.
"It's okay, I haven't thought about it yet...... And at this time, I may have to find something for a while......" Liu Pleiades hurriedly went out after speaking.
Chuangzhen on the side noticed something, and muttered: "'Things' instead of 'ingredients'?" (To be continued.) )
