Chapter 66: Hu Zhou's Choice
"It's so fragrant, it's so familiar..."
Picking up the noodles with chopsticks in your hand, the soy sauce underneath is carefully boiled to dye the white noodles with a golden sauce, and the rich aroma bursts out at the moment when the steaming noodles are mixed with soy sauce and lard.
A flash of golden light rose into the sky.
Even if he has been studying for ten years, he has already cultivated a fixed mind, but Hu Zhou still can't believe the scene in front of him.
"Noodles... The noodles glowed?!! ”
The noodles that were almost caught were about to fall again, Hu Zhou looked at it again, the dazzling golden light had gradually converged, and the noodles, which were originally excellent in hue, had been dyed with a layer of faint crystal light at this time.
It seems to be given by soy sauce and lard, and it seems to be coated with a layer of golden light.
"Don't be surprised, it's a reflection of the quality of the cuisine, which is a common thing in our country."
The corners of his mouth hooked, and Zhao Youqian didn't know if he wanted to make it bad.
"We have always had a saying here that food that doesn't shine is not good food, and even the world of guests should be able to produce such food, so don't be too surprised."
Hu Zhou's face was dazed.
Don't you have to be too surprised when the food shines? ’
'What the hell am I here?!' ’
However, his hand involuntarily began to stir the noodles in the large bowl in front of him, until each translucent white noodle was dyed with a layer of sauce-colored golden, and the outside was wrapped in a layer of mellow oil fragrance.
The saliva couldn't stop secreting, as if the plate of braised vegetables I had eaten before had all been digested.
Hu Zhou never knew that he would be so hungry, even when he had been hungry for a few days before he saw something to eat, he never had this urge.
The smooth noodles, as if jumping on his chopsticks, carry a rich aroma, until they enter his mouth, and the olfactory enjoyment never stops.
"It's smooth!"
Before the taste reached his mind, the first thing Hu Zhou felt was the smoothness of the fresh noodles that Zhao Youqian prepared every day.
To make mixed noodles, especially lard noodles, you should not use too strong noodles, but should pursue smoothness, if it is thin noodles or stick noodles, of course, it is best, followed by leek leaf noodles can be wrapped in a lot of sauce, and finally wide noodles.
Noodles with lard are actually just a supporting role in the taste, and if you pay too much attention to the texture of the noodles and the aroma of the flour, you will dominate the crowd.
The texture is smooth, and the lines that change the cut surface due to the hand-cut will coat the boiled soy sauce and lard.
Almost after Hu Zhou chewed two bites, the special soy sauce mixed with the strong aroma of freshly boiled lard had already emptied his brain, and it seemed that he had tasted the lard noodles for the first time in front of him.
'Mother! ’
One bite down, the taste of warmth to the heart, shaking the heart of this strong young man, the young scholar who has not shown his true emotions since his mother's death, showed a look of disbelief.
Looking at the woman who appeared in front of him, she was extremely talented, and her appearance was just as she remembered it.
With a chuckle, he hugged him in his arms as in the past.
The aroma of vegetables and fruits released after boiling and the faint sweetness of the soy sauce are well synthesized with the saltiness of the soy sauce, and the lemon juice sprinkled in at the end is the finishing touch, stimulating Hu Zhou's oral saliva secretion.
And the thick lard envelops all this, bringing Hu Zhou a warm taste, blending the noodle aroma of noodles and soy sauce, as if the golden grease heaven, Hu Zhou is swimming in it.
"It's wonderful, it's the taste of mother... But why do I get the slightest hint of spiciness? ”
His eyes moistened a little, Hu Zhou didn't care about the etiquette rules he had always upheld, and looked at Zhao Youqian and asked.
"This is when I see a guest coming from a cold place, and I add a little white pepper to the bottom of the soy sauce bowl to ward off the cold and warm the stomach, and mixed with the lard to bring out the flavor even more."
"What's wrong? Don't you like it? ”
Shaking his head, Hu Zhou lowered his head.
Is it a coincidence? My mother also liked to add some pepper back then, saying that it was good for children to eat it to prevent wind and cold, and it was good for the body..."
He never thought that this bowl of noodles was obviously more delicate and delicate, and he could feel his mother's flavor everywhere.
'Perhaps... This is really an opportunity for me! ’
After sweeping around, Hu Zhou quickly regained his demeanor and ate the noodles in the bowl in an orderly manner.
But Zhao Youqian could see that he ate very seriously, and he almost tasted it one by one.
However, a bowl of noodles is not too much, only three or two, and there are not too many side dishes, even if Hu Zhou is not happy to eat, it is only a moment of effort to eat it clean.
Not even a single residue of oil residue remained, and the soup stock was drunk completely.
After eating and drinking, he closed his eyes and digested for a while, then opened his eyes and stood up.
"I'm tired of the store manager, Xiao Ke is very satisfied!"
"It's just that Xiao Ke has nothing to do, and he can't pay for this meal..."
Zhao Youqian smiled and waved his hand.
"No, no, in fact, when you ordered, you had already paid for the meal, although I don't know the principle, you can rest assured anyway, it will never let you eat white food."
Knowing that Confucianism still has a tradition of not being eaten by spurs, Zhao Youqian spoke very sincerely.
After letting Hu Zhouleng pause for a while, his expression returned to normal.
He bowed his hand.
"Then Xiao Ke can rest assured, since it is so small, I will leave for the time being, there are still some things in the world over there, if I come again next time, I will bring some of our specialties for the store manager!"
Zhao Youqian saw that Hu Zhou was leaving, and after looking for it, he didn't find anything, so he simply got a fruit kitchen knife and stuffed it in Hu Zhou's hand.
"Look at the wind and snow you have there, I don't know if you're in a hurry or what you're doing, but if you're alone, it's not bad to take something to defend yourself, no matter how bad it is, you can sell it for some money!"
This is not a whim of Zhao Youqian, but after getting the points reward recognized by Hu Zhou, I am afraid that something will happen to such a big family, although the clothes are green shirts, they are not new, there are many traces of washing, and the family must not be rich.
He doesn't have any money here, but there are a lot of kitchen knives, and if they don't have them, they can let the Heavenly Pavilion brush them out again.
Naturally, he didn't feel distressed.
Somewhat surprised by what Zhao Youqian brought, Hu Zhou showed a trace of astonishment, then thought for a moment, did not refuse, and just put it in his arms.
"See you next time, manager!"
He turned around and saluted again, and then walked back into his own world in the snow.
And Zhao Youqian was very happy to see that his points had increased by a full thousand.
Sure enough, it is worthy of the diners who let the system prompt them jump one more time, and the reward is rich!
Hu Zhou, who suddenly changed the world again, stood in the wind and snow again, and the kitchen knife in his arms seemed to have the residual temperature in the Heavenly Pavilion.
Hu Zhou, who was standing among the bushes, completely fixed his thoughts, even if there were several vicious dogs outside, he was already fearless!
'Come on! ’
