Chapter 292 On the soup cake (noodles) that travel through thousands of years of time and space

"Then let's start tasting~ Which one to eat first? It's so tangled~~Hmm。。。。。。 Let's eat together! It's such a happy decision~~" Anne, who was sitting in the middle of the main seat, struggled for a long time, and finally made up her mind as if she could hammer her high-five, and couldn't wait to grab the tableware on the table but was stopped by her subordinates on the left and right.

"Annie~ This is a formal occasion, pay attention to the image." Sharum reminded in a low voice.

Easter reconsidered: "Yes, this is related to GO's external image, don't mess around." ”

"Ah~~~ It's so annoying~~ I know!" Anne put down the chopsticks in her hand, coughed a few times, and then asked dignifiedly, "Two classmates, whose dishes do you want to be tasted first?" ”

Jiang Yunfeng smiled slightly, revealing a sense of confidence, "Ladies are first, and it is Senior Sister Ning Ning of Ji Zhiguo who is the first to complete it, so it is natural." Besides, the soba noodles of the senior sister of Ji Zhiguo can't be exposed to the air for too long, otherwise it will stick and affect the taste, so let the senior sister want to come. Mine is noodle soup, so it doesn't matter if you soak more. ”

"I didn't expect Jiang Yunfeng to really have a gentlemanly demeanor, or that Chinese men are very gentle and spoiled to girls, especially beautiful girls? Then as you wish~ Ji Zhiguo Ning Ning, please present your food~" Anne covered her mouth and chuckled, her eyes kept flowing back and forth between Jiang Yunfeng and Ji Zhiguo Ning Ning. Esther and Charum also had 'I understand' expressions.

Kinokuni Ninene put three servings of soba noodles in front of the three judges. Stretched out her hand and pushed her glasses, her delicate face still looked like an ancient well, which showed that Anne's ridicule just now did not affect her mind at all, and she just said lightly, "Senior Brother Jiang Yunfeng and I happen to be just rivals today, and we have not crossed paths before." Not as the judges thought. ”

Anne picked up the chopsticks and said disappreciatively, "I'm just joking, Ji Zhijun~ You are too stereotypical, so you don't like boys~"

"I don't bother you with that."

The lighting engineer skillfully adjusted the lighting in the venue so that the focus of the lighting was on the dishes on the judging table. The soba noodles on the bamboo cage have distinct roots, and the pale gray tone is as warm as jade, and the light shines on the soba noodles to refract a little starlight.

"Is this the strength of Ji Zhiguo Ningning? It's not a second~ That soba noodle looks like it's an appetite boost~~" Kohei Soma expressed it very heartily. Erina Nagikiri didn't speak, but frowned, and Isshiki Hui also cast an approving glance at the soba noodles brought out by Ji no Kuni Ning Ning.

"The luster of this soba noodle ... It's really sexy... "The review of the Frenchman Charum is full of French waves" Look at the texture, look at the silky texture of the water. It's just like the skin of a young girl like a delicate rose, just looking at it makes people have a fragrant impulse, it's not too tempting~~"

"It's a family of Edo soba, and the history is all permeated in each clear and distinct noodle." The old and serious East is relatively rational, "hundreds of years of tradition are inherited in the bone marrow of the heirs of the Kino family from generation to generation, and every time the process and strength of the noodles, the distance and gap between the cutting surfaces are the same as they were hundreds of years ago." To be able to achieve such results is nothing more than a solid basic skills training and systematic cooking skills guidance from Xiaojiu. ”

It's not uncommon to be an GO executive and travel around the world to rate restaurants. "Let's start grading~ So. I'm moving! Anne couldn't wait to pick up a wisp of soba noodles, looked left and right, and said, "Since we're in Japan, let's do as the locals do." The first bite of the noodles is not stained with any sauce, and you can eat it directly to taste the purest original aroma of buckwheat. Like this~" I sucked the noodles into my mouth with a moment.

There is no roughness of coarse grains at all, and the soba noodles are so smooth that they can slide through the throat with the breath without hindrance. Slightly chewed buckwheat, the original flavor is elegant and long, mixed with a hint of bitterness, what a layered taste enjoyment.

The three judges reluctantly swallowed the noodles that had already been chewed in their mouths, and then picked up a wisp. This time, instead of eating dry, I held the chopsticks in my right hand and picked up the cup of dipping sauce with my left hand. Gently soak the bottom third of the soba noodles on the chopsticks in the dipping sauce in the cup and suck in again.

The plain and elegant soba noodles suddenly wore the most gorgeous dress, and they were no longer the beautiful girls running around the countryside and fields. Dressed in the marine breath brought by the wooden fish flower and kelp, she has become the eldest lady of the family in the deep boudoir, noble, dignified, decent, and graceful!

Esther swallowed the noodles in his mouth and tried to pick them up again, but found that the bamboo cage in front of him was already empty, and he just wanted to say if Anne had come to steal her own soba noodles again. When I turned my head, I found that not only myself, but even the bamboo cage in front of my companions was empty.

"It's strange, why is it gone after just a few bites? Annie~ Did you come to steal my soba noodles!! ”

"What a stupid thing!! Do you rely on me after you've eaten yourself? I haven't asked you if you stole me!! ”

"Don't worry, three, I've prepared a lot of extra weight." Ji Zhikuni Ningning dissuaded the three GO executives who started fighting with each other again, and the tempting soba appeared again, and the executives stopped fighting with each other for an unknown number of times, and began to fry the assorted soba noodles again.

The sound of sucking noodles and the 'click' sound of biting on the crispy fried assorted echoed in the quiet venue, and many students couldn't help but drool, including Jiang Yunfeng, who kept swallowing saliva and wiping the corners of his mouth.

The beauty is that time is always fleeting, and the soba noodles are wiped out before you know it. "It's gone again... Obviously I just re-added it.。。。 Charum put down his chopsticks helplessly, took the buckwheat soup (in fact, only the water that boils soba noodles) sent by Kinokuni Nene to dilute the dipping sauce in the cup, and drank it to end the traditional Japanese soba process.

"I remember!! There is a similar record of this soba in the canon... Anne turned around and pulled out exactly the one she needed from the pile of books piled up in the mountain, and opened it casually to find the information she was looking for without turning a few pages, which showed that she knew the books behind her as thick as bricks as well.

"During the Muromachi Shogunate period, it was famous for its soba noodles, which was said to be the ancestor of soba, and every soba dish was served with a fried assorted dish made with prawns. Therefore, Miss Nene Kinokuni also chose a partner for her soba noodles, so she chose the small and meaty cherry blossom shrimp instead of using prawns with a higher flavor of deliciousness. This is all to match the soba noodles that you have rolled out with your own hands and have the same delicate flavor, right? ”

Anne closed the book in her hand and said playfully, "The perfect combination of these two gives people the illusion that they can't stop once they start eating, and the smooth handmade soba noodles are garnished with cherry blossom shrimp known as the 'fairy of the sea', which makes the two form such a perfect combination... I'm afraid it's the oil used to fry shrimp, right? ”

"True to the taste of professionals, I specially use 'Taibai sesame oil' to carefully fry the cherry blossom shrimp." Ji Zhiguo Ning Ning generously said the secret.

"It's really wonderful, ordinary sesame oil is steamed at high temperature to separate the fat before being extracted, and frying food with such oil will give the food a rich aroma and mellow fat flavor unique to sesame oil, which will seriously affect the taste of soba noodles. The 'Taibai Sesame Oil' is the oil juice obtained by the white sesame seeds when the fat is about to be separated from the tissue when it is slightly steamed, and the oil is fried at high temperature for a short time, which can only ensure the ripeness of the cherry blossom shrimp and the crispy coat, and can also make the fried assortment have the best mellow aroma. Pairing it with a plain soba is tempting to sin!! ”

Ji Zhiguo Ning Ning glanced back at Jiang Yunfeng, did you see it? This is the power of Edo-ryu soba [tradition]! It's a hundred years of accumulation!

Jiang Yunfeng responded with a polite smile, picked up three large bowls and put them in front of the judges, and said, "You still don't seem to be satisfied, but it's a pity that Senior Sister Ning Ning of Ji Zhiguo has limited noodles. Why don't you transfer that enthusiasm that hasn't been completely exhausted to my bowl of noodle soup? ”

In the center of the bowl is a black-looking, somewhat carbonized mass of noodles, with nothing but half a bowl of clear soup and a few green onions floating on the noodles. Although the soba noodles of Ji Zhiguo Ningning made the three of them unsatisfied, the portion was still very large, and they already felt full at the moment. When I caught a glimpse of Jiang Yunfeng's bowl of clear soup noodles with little water, I really didn't have the urge to pick up chopsticks.

As the chief judge, Anne felt that since Jiang Yunfeng had the courage to bring the food to her, she had to eat it anyway. As soon as he received the clean chopsticks from the staff, he noticed that a delicate drop of red oil had spilled from the edge of the dough and floated onto the soup noodles.

What's inside? Anne couldn't help but flip it, the noodles were not as carbonized as they looked, they were still soft and could change their shape with the chopsticks. The dough in the center is not broken, and the uncovered seasoning at the bottom of the bowl immediately dyes the faint soup red, and the red chili oil is still floating with fragrant sesame seeds. Crispy beef, fat like jade, lean meat, pink lamb ribs, and emerald green arugula all appeared in front of everyone's eyes at once.

When the whole bowl of noodles first appeared in front of the judges, it was like a wasteland still burning with flames. The spoonful of soup that Jiang Yunfeng poured was like a spring rain extinguishing a wildfire, soaking the earth. The chopsticks turned by the judges are the spring breeze, awakening the colors that have fallen asleep and succumbed to this scorched 'earth'.

"Stir it up a little more, yes! Poke the chopsticks to the bottom of the bowl and try to break up the whole bowl of noodles. This is how the flavor spreads. Jiang Yunfeng kept demonstrating with the fourth bowl of noodles, and then handed over the stirred soup noodles to Ji Zhiguo Ningning, who was watching coldly, and said with a smile, "Senior sister, you can also taste it." Although you didn't prepare me a portion of your food. ”
