Chapter 173: The Flower
Qin Fei stared at Ivan for a moment and asked, "Where did you learn your Tianlong Chinese?"
"I learned it from a Celestial Dragon Nation who settled in the Blood Moon Empire. Ivan replied.
"Oh, did he tell you that the food of the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom was hard to eat?" Qin Fei asked.
Ivan replied honestly: "Yes, the teacher said that most of the people in the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom are very poor, and they can only gnaw on tree bark and eat mud. ”
Except in the years of war and chaos, natural and man-made disasters, it is no problem for the people of Tianlong Kingdom to have a full meal.
Ivan's language teacher, with partial generalizations, made it clear that he was deliberately smearing.
If it was something else, Qin Fei didn't bother to argue, but it was about the image of his family and country and the dignity of all the people of Tianlong Country, and Qin Fei had to fight for it.
"Help me talk to the shopkeeper and borrow his kitchen. Qin Fei commanded.
Ivan was puzzled: "What is the gentleman going to do?"
"Some people are not used to eating the food of your Blood Moon Empire, and they want to make some hometown snacks by themselves, and I will pay for them. Qin Fei's voice was calm.
Ivan tried to talk to the shopkeeper, and after some grunt, Ivan replied, "The shopkeeper said it's fine, but don't dirty his kitchen." ”
The shopkeeper was a burly man, he glanced at Qin Fei, and shouted a few times into the hall, and all the diners came over and laughed.
"What are they talking about?" Qin Fei asked as he tied his apron.
Ivan was a little embarrassed: "They said they wanted to see if the food in the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom was delicious." ”
After all, Ivan was hired by Qin Fei and translated more tactfully, in fact, they may have said a lot of ugly things.
Qin Fei was not angry, but smiled: "Okay, you tell them, I'll treat you later, everyone has a share." ”
Ivan hesitated for a moment and translated Qin Fei's original words, and the diners in the restaurant burst into laughter.
Qin Fei didn't pay any attention to it, entered the kitchen, and checked the ingredients, there were very few types, but flour was available, so let's make ramen.
It's delicious underneath.
Boil a pot of bone broth first, then mix the noodles with salted water, rub and beat constantly, then pour some oil, cover and seal, and wait for the noodles to rise.
After a while, the diners in the noodle restaurant seemed to be a little impatient and urged.
"Sir, they asked you how long it would take?" asked Ivan, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"It's almost over!" Qin Fei looked at the dough for a while, and when he woke up, he took out the dough and began to ramen.
The Blood Moon Empire made noodles by first rolling out the dough into a dough, and then cutting it with a knife, but seeing Qin Fei pull the dough into noodles as thin as a hair with his bare hands without breaking, he exclaimed again and again.
Immediately, the ramen noodles are boiled in boiling water for a while, and then served in seven or eight large bowls.
The previous bone broth had already been boiled, scooped up a scoop of bone broth that was hot and white as milk, put in the seasonings, there were no shallots in the kitchen, Qin Fei picked a handful of chopped green onions from the planting space and sprinkled them on top.
"It's ready to eat. Qin Fei took off his waist, picked up a bowl of noodles, and ate it himself.
Well, that's the right taste.
There was a refreshing fragrance in the air, which had already made everyone salivate, and after Ivan translated Qin Fei's words, the diners rushed up and took the noodle bowls away.
The diners took a bite, the wisps of tendons, the broth was delicious, and they all screamed in surprise, even if Qin Fei couldn't understand it, they guessed the general meaning.
Ivan was also eating Qin Fei's noodles, sinking into them and unable to extricate himself, but he was duty-oriented, with noodles in his mouth, and it was difficult to translate: "They said, oh my God, how can noodles be so delicious." ”
"Is this an Oriental sorcery?"
Qin Fei smiled and asked, "Then do you think it's delicious?"
Ivan nodded his head like pounded garlic: "The best noodles I've ever tasted." ”
The restaurant thought very highly of itself, and originally disdained to taste it, but seeing that the diners reacted violently, they hurriedly snatched a bowl from someone else's hand, and after eating it, they looked shocked.
He has been making noodles for so many years, and no one in Rose Town is worthy or praised, but compared to the noodles made by Qin Fei today, it is like swill.
"Sir, I retract my disrespectful words. The shopkeeper came to Qin Fei with a much more humble expression, and Ivan translated his language.
"It's okay, the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom and the Blood Moon Empire are far apart, so it is inevitable that there will be some prejudice and misunderstanding. Qin Fei waved his hand generously.
This made the store more and more admired, and asked Qin Fei for cooking tips, which allowed them to eliminate their prejudices, and Qin Fei patiently explained some things.
The shopkeeper had something to gain, so he hurriedly returned to the kitchen and kneaded the remaining dough, and also wanted to pull it into thin noodles, but the same dough could obediently become filaments in Qin Fei's hands, and it always broke in the hands of the shopkeeper.
"The people of the Tenryu Kingdom pay attention to the softness on the outside and the strength on the inside, which is also the method of ramen. Qin Fei nodded.
Ivan struggled to translate, and it was estimated that the store couldn't understand it, so he finally had to give up, and sighed: "Sir, you are in the Tenryu Kingdom, you must be a top chef, and this bowl of ramen is definitely not something that ordinary people can enjoy." ”
"In the country of Tianlong, vegetarian ramen is worth about four or five copper coins a bowl, and ordinary people can eat it, and my ramen technique was learned from a roadside stall owner. Qin Fei is also telling the truth, when he used to open a snack bar in Yunjiang, he would go to Zhouji Wonton Noodles in the morning to eat a bowl of noodles too early, and after watching too much, he learned it.
The shopkeeper was a little silent, as if he couldn't accept this reality, even in the Blood Moon Empire, there were not many people who could come to the restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles.
Qin Fei didn't say anything more, took a silver coin, and left.
Subsequently, Ivan took Qin Fei to visit the entire town, in fact, the town is not big, and it was finished in an hour.
"Since this place is called Rose Town, why haven't I seen a single rose?" Qin Fei said in confusion.
"If Mr. comes in spring, you can see roses everywhere, but now it's late autumn, so naturally there are no roses. Ivan replied.
"Oh, that's right. Qin Fei had some regrets.
"However, the name of the rose town is not because of the planting of roses, but because it is related to a story. At Qin Fei's behest, Ivan spoke out.
The story is very short, saying that many years ago, there was an innocent and lively little girl, and everyone in the town liked her.
As a result, one day, the little girl fell ill, and after taking a lot of medicines, she did not get better, and the little girl looked at the rose in the vase in the window, and felt sad, and said that when the rose withered, she would also die.
Word spread that every day someone would exchange fresh roses for the ones that were about to wither after the girl was asleep.
In this way, the rose in the vase bloomed for a long, long time.
"What happened later?" Hearing this story, Qin Fei felt a hint of warmth in the late autumn season.
Later, the flower died. ”
