Chapter 35: The Difference in Ramen

"Thank you for your patronage~"

Lunch was settled at Ichiraku Ramen, and Aoyagi went home.

Lying in bed for a morning break, his mind kept churning and recalling the morning's teaching.

Aoyagi benefited a lot from the teaching in the morning, and he had a clear understanding of the detection and concealment, and he also roughly knew in which direction to work hard, and he also got a way to exercise his eyesight.

This makes Aoyagi look forward to teaching on weekends even more, and it is expected that after following Araki's training, he will become a ninja who is good at hiding and detecting, which can protect himself well.

She was so excited that Aoyagi couldn't sleep, so she simply got up, took out the scroll that recorded the knowledge of the handprint, and continued to practice sealing.

In the afternoon print, the elbows are stretched out, and the index fingers of the two hands are opposite each other to form a triangle......

………

Time flew by in the serious practice, and it was more than four o'clock in the blink of an eye.

Dingdong ~ Dingdong ~

The doorbell rings in the house, and Aoyagi gets up and walks to the door, where he finds Chisato Oe and Twilight Kawamata standing outside the door.

Pushing open the waist door, Aoyagi said to the two, "Why are you here?" ”

Qianli laughed, "Aren't you going to exercise in the afternoon, we'll go with you." ”

Aoyagi was stunned, he was immersed in the practice of sealing and completely forgetting the time, and it was indeed time to exercise every day.

"Okay, then you can wait for me in the living room."

Taking the two to the living room, Aoyagi quickly changed his clothes, called the two of them, and went to the training ground.

"Hey, it looks familiar."

"Chisato, have you forgotten? This is where you are chased by wild boars and run away. ”

"What do you mean that I was chased by a wild boar and fled, aren't you the same?" Chisato disagrees with Twilight's statement.

"It's the boar you provoked."

Qianli was silent, and after a while, he turned his head to talk to Aoyagi and changed the topic, "Aoyagi, why are you here?" Don't you want to go anywhere else? ”

"I usually work out here."

"Oh~ no wonder you showed up last time. That's when you came here to play. ”

"Sort of." Aoyagi was noncommittal.

Twilight laments Aoyagi's diligence. And Chisato obviously didn't think so, he thought that Aoyagi had come here to play.

"There's nothing here, what are you going to do?"

"I've worked out on my own, so feel free to do whatever you want."

Ignoring Chisato's doubts, Aoyagi dropped a sentence and began to practice on his own.

Aoyagi leaned down and began to work on strength.

Chisato Oe was originally quite interested in how Aoyagi exercised, but after watching it for a while, Aoyagi was still doing push-ups on the spot, and there was no change, and he gradually felt bored.

After thinking about it, he called Twilight, said hello to Aoyagi, and went to play in the woods.

Won't you provoke something to save yourself, right? Although he was a little worried, Aoyagi couldn't take care of it, and he didn't really want to care about it, so he let them go.

Someone stayed by and watched him, but he was a little uncomfortable. Cultivation is a lonely process of strengthening oneself.

People who sweat don't care whether they are lonely or not, and they don't care about the degree of hard work, they just hope that they will get something from their efforts.

The sky is getting darker, and the temperature is starting to drop and get a little cooler.

Just as Aoyagi was thinking about finishing his practice and finding the two who were running around, they came back.

Before the people arrived, the voice of Qianli came first. "Aoyagi, the sun is going down, it's time to eat."

Standing up, Aoyagi was about to ask how to solve the dinner, so Chisato opened his mouth first: "I went to eat barbecue last time, but in the end I didn't invite it, this time we will invite you to dinner." ”

Aoyagi raised his eyebrows, of course, there is no reason to refuse someone to invite him to dinner. "Okay, where are you going to have dinner?"

Twilight is uncharacteristically positive, "I know a good ramen, so let's go there." ”

"Is it Ichiraku ramen?"

"No, it's Torotaro, and although it's not as famous as Ichiraku ramen, their ramen is delicious. Their ramen is not the same style as Ichiraku ramen, and it is worth trying. ”

Not picky about food, Aoyagi agrees with Twilight's suggestion.

…………

This is a small shop, built entirely of bamboo, with a curtain that half-covers the faΓ§ade, and several ink landscape paintings and bamboo benches and bamboo tables in the store have a somewhat elegant feeling.

After entering the store, Twilight orders three bowls of ramen directly from the owner, and pulls them to sit on a bamboo stool, waiting for the ramen.

Twilight's eyes sparkle and her voice changes a little with excitement, and she quickly spreads ramen knowledge to Aoyagi and Oe.

"A bowl of ramen can be divided into soup base, noodles, side dishes, seasoning, and flavor. The difference between ramen noodles is also reflected in these five aspects......"

"If you make a rough difference, the biggest difference between Ichiraku ramen and Torotaro's house is in the soup base."

At this time, the ramen was served, and the steaming three bowls of ramen were placed on the bamboo table, although the aroma was not very strong, but it was very fresh, arousing people's appetite.

Pointing to the ramen, Chuan was very excited, "The most important thing in a bowl of ramen is the soup base, followed by the noodles and side dishes. ”

"Look, isn't the ramen soup base at Torotaro's house very clear? You should know that the soup base of Ichiraku ramen is thick white, right? ”

"That's because, on the soup base, Ichiraku ramen uses a pork bone broth base, which is boiled with a mixture of pork bones and chicken bones, so the soup is rich and white, with a strong aroma of pork bones. The tiger wolf uses a chicken bone soup base, which tends to be light, the soup base is clear, and the salt is suitable for the taste. ”

"Compared to soy sauce, both sea salt and pink rock salt have little effect on the color of the soup and do not spoil the clarity of the chicken bone base, and although the salt is simple, it brings out the flavor of the soup base. In the case of this bowl of ramen, the salt brings out the aroma of the chicken bones, and the two are mixed into a salty aroma. ”

Aoyagi took a closer look and found that compared to the milky white soup base of Ichiraku ramen, the soup base of this bowl of ramen is indeed very clear, and it does not block the view, and you can clearly see every noodle in the bowl.

"The side dishes of this restaurant are chopped green onions, seaweed, fish plates, and most importantly, char siu. Let's just talk about barbecued pork, which can almost be regarded as the soul of a bowl of ramen! ”

Aoyagi stared at the barbecued pork that Kawamata pointed to, and didn't feel anything special.

"The quality of char siu depends on its taste, gravy and saltiness. A good barbecued pork should have a taste between rotten and tight, and the gravy must be rich and the saltiness must be appropriate. Although the size of the meat is not required depending on the part used, it must be cut thickly. Only when it is thicker than five millimeters, the meat flavor of the barbecued pork is rich! ”

"Let's take a look at the ...... again"

Chisato was a little anxious when she came to the ramen, and when she saw Twilight explaining so excitedly, she couldn't ruin his interest, so she endured it. But after waiting for a while, Twilight felt like she was talking endlessly, and she didn't know when she would stop, and he finally couldn't help it.

"Twilight, can you eat it? I'm hungry~"

Hearing the thick resentment in Chisa's voice, Twilight stopped introducing: "Aoyagi, no matter how much I say, it's still not as profound as your own experience, let's eat it." ”

Aoyagi has also been looking forward to it for a long time, and it is so admired by Twilight, even if the taste is not as good as that of Ichiraku ramen, it is not much different.

I picked up the spoon and took a sip of the soup first, which was indeed different from Ichiraku ramen, but it was a good soup base. Compared with the rich taste and aroma of the soup base, this clear soup base has a refreshing taste and is not easy to get tired, and the aroma of chicken bones is stimulated by the salty taste, although it is not as strong as the pork bones, but this fragrance has a unique flavor, which is very attractive to people's gluttony.

The barbecued pork is indeed as Twilight said, with just the right taste, not rotten or tight, and the meat is juicy. Chewing on the barbecued pork, Aoyagi only felt that it was really delicious, but he couldn't tell which one was better compared to Ichiraku's barbecued pork.

Thorn ~ Thorn slip, as Twilight and Aoyagi taste it slowly, Chisato quickly sucks the noodles into his mouth. Before the other two had finished half of their meals, Chiri's bowl was already empty, and even the soup was gone.

The middle-aged uncle-like boss couldn't help but be very happy when he saw Chisato eating so happily, "Haha, it seems that this young man likes the ramen I make." ”

"Of course, boss, your ramen is really good." Smacking his lips, a thousand miles are still unfinished.

took away Qianli's bowl, the boss filled it with half a bowl of noodles and soup, and handed it back to Qianli, "Young man, I see that you haven't eaten yet, this is for you." ”

Although there was no side dishes, it was just given away for free, and Chisato was very happy, "Thank you boss!" ”
