Chapter 23: Dragon's Whisker Noodles (The Way of Noodles)

In the early morning of the second day, after absorbing the sun's purple qi on the roof of the building, Yu Wan ran for another 1 day, and went directly from the small teleportation array to the hall on the first floor.

She has a dark red jade inlaid gold token left by Qian Hua on her body, and she can enter and exit all places in any Xinghai Tower at will without anyone noticing.

At the same time, this token is also the identity proof of the owner of the young building.

There are fast formation passages in the east, west, south, north and middle of the Xinghai Tower, and the monks of the non-Xinghai Building only need to pay 1 lower grade spirit stone, and they can pass through this formation from the nearest location and directly teleport to the first floor of the hall.

Monks who work in the Xinghai Building can use the pass token to transfer it for free, which can be regarded as an employee benefit.

Therefore, it was not abrupt to come out of the teleportation formation in the hall on the first floor in the evening.

She said hello to Jin Gui behind the counter and went straight to the back kitchen.

Although it is only the beginning of the hour, there are already small workers in the back kitchen, and they are all early stage Qi refining monks who cut vegetables, wash vegetables, and deal with spirit beasts.

They were now gathered in a heap, whispering strange things outside the courtyard.

Wang Shui and Jiang Nian are also among them.

Jiang Nian still looked calm, standing there with his hands in his hands and listening to everyone's discussion.

Wang Shui danced beside him, talking endlessly.

Hearing the movement coming from the door, they turned their heads one after another.

Seeing that Chef Yu, who had only come yesterday and was in the limelight, they hugged their fists and saluted, and then dispersed one after another and returned to their positions.

Wang Shui and Jiang Nian walked up to Yu Wan and greeted her again.

"It's morning in the kitchen."

"Early."

Yu Wan also nodded hello to the two.

"What are you talking about? I see that you have a lot of momentum there......"

Yu Wan asked about the two of them, and looked at Wang Shui as she spoke.

Wang Shui scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, laughed twice, and explained to Yu Wan.

"Chef Yu, Xiao Chen, who came first this morning, when he inspected the courtyard, he found the frost rabbit that had killed on that tree......

"Oh?" Yu Wan let out a question.

Jiang Nian on the side opened his mouth to add.

"There are not many of them today, about 100."

Yu Wan frowned and thought for a moment, then said to the two, "Let's go, let's go and see." ”

"Okay..."

"Ahem..."

"Yes, Chef Yu."

As soon as Wang Shui heard Yu Wan's decision, he had a bright smile on his face, and was about to cheer, but was interrupted by Jiang Nian's cough beside him.

He also came back to his senses, knowing that if this move was known by Chef Wu, he would definitely not be able to escape the scolding.

So he immediately straightened up, hugged his fists with Jiang Nian, and replied late.

Xiaotiandi is another name for the kitchen yard of Xinghailou.

Because the courtyard gathers mountains, hills, lakes, and depressions, and is divided into four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and raises common demon beasts, spirit plants, and local specialties on the mainland.

Hence the name of the small world.

But as for who first called it, I really don't know this, I only know that it was the first small worker in Xinghai Building.

There is an ice field on the north side of Xiaotiandi, and the three of them turned left directly after entering from the courtyard gate, and then flew straight all the way, and they arrived when they saw the white ice and snow.

Returning to the place where they were dealt with yesterday, the tender green grass was again full of frost rabbits with broken mouths in their foreheads.

Today, only a hundred of them were killed, and they were all scattered around the plane tree.

"Tsk, I don't know what they can't think of, they have to crash and die......"

Wang Shui looked at the rabbit corpses around the big tree and couldn't help but shake his head and complain.

"The fence is not broken."

Jiang Nian said the key.

Yu Wan looked around, walked to the plane tree, and put the palm of his right hand against the trunk.

A trace of wood aura wrapped a wisp of divine consciousness into the trunk of the tree along the palm, and walked in the meridians of the trunk in the late control......

Unfortunately, even after looking at the roots underground, she didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

When I opened my eyes and came back to my senses, most of the days had passed.

She turned to Wang Shui and Jiang Nian and said, "Let's go back and prepare today's food list first." ”

Since it all happened at night, she planned to come back tonight.

"Yes." The two replied in unison.

"Take these rabbits to make a rabbit soup today, Jiang Nian, you stay and deal with it."

"Wang Shui, go to the east side to pick some small mushrooms and wolfberry leaves, I will go to the south side to dig some green jade shoots, and make three crisps in the mountains today."

"Yes."

After assigning the task, the three of them went their separate ways.

After digging several large baskets of green jade shoots in the evening, he returned to the back kitchen and found that everyone was surrounding a board, and Wu Yan was surrounded by them in the center.

"Yu Kitchen."

Jiang Nian saw Yu Wan coming in, beckoned to her, and took her to the innermost side.

Shui Wang hasn't returned yet.

"It's ......"

Yu Wan whispered his doubts.

Wang Shui was worried that it would affect Wu Chef being scolded, so he directly transmitted his divine sense to her.

"Today, Chef Wu is going to make dragon beard noodles. His cultivation is the way of noodles, and the dragon beard is the highest state he has comprehended so far......"

"Everyone gathered here in the hope of learning his craft and experiencing Chef Wu's Taoism by the way."

Yu Wan didn't expect that Wu Yan in the late stage of Jindan had already touched the threshold of the Dao, and it seemed that he had already comprehended it somewhat.

The two did not communicate anymore, and began to concentrate on watching Wu Yan's production.

Wu Yan, who stood in front of the white case, was as comfortable as usual, without the slightest hint of nervousness.

He began by sprinkling a thin layer of wheat flour onto a long strip of light-colored cutting board.

Then a light blue water ball gradually became larger in the palm of his left hand, and the palm of his right hand controlled the light blue spiritual power, and took out a wheat flour ball with a diameter of about 5 inches from the powder bag next to the table and hung it in front of him.

Under his control, the water balls from the palm of his left hand continued to turn into a waterline and pour into the wheat flour balls.

He shifted his right fingers, controlling the ball of wheat flour to stir and stretch......

When the ball of wheat flour turned into a coarse dough, with a bang, he threw the dough directly onto the white table.

Then he covered his hands with a thin layer of light blue aura, and began to knead the dough with his hands.

Stretch, knead back, and stretch again towards the edge of the white case......

The dough gradually became smoother and more elongated under his hands.

Yu Wan looked at Wu Yan's state of stretching and stretching, full of indescribable rhythm, and the rhythm made her feel the softness of water......

After about a moment, the surface of the dough had become extremely smooth, and it was kneaded into an ellipsoidal shape by Wu Yan, standing unusually firm on the table.

At this time, Wu Yan changed his technique.

He changed from kneading the dough vertically to kneading the dough horizontally into long strips.

Then, an amazing scene occurred......

Wu Yan pinched the ends of the thick and fat noodles with both hands, and then threw them into the air first, and then slammed them heavily on the white case, stirring up layers of white mist......

At the same time, his arms would extend slightly to the sides, and then continue to be thrown into the air, and then fall into the white case.

pia~pia~

The sound of thumping kept coming.

After a few moments, he put the dough that he had kneaded tightly with his left hand into his right hand, and with his left hand he pulled the fold, and continued to beat it up and down, extending to the sides......

After the dough was stretched again, Wu Yan repeated these actions.

Folding, falling, extending......

Over and over again......

The rhythm at this time is completely different from when the dough is kneaded.

If the softness of water was shown before, now it shows the hardness of water and wheat flour.

Smack~smack~

Wow~Wow~

The dough is getting thinner and thinner, and the sound of hitting the white table is getting clearer and harder.

In the end, it was like countless tenacious spirit whips thrown on the white case, and the sound was shocking.

As Wu Yan pinched off the two ends of the noodles that he was pinching with his right hand at the beginning, the noodles as thin as a hair were directly thrown by him, and the noodles poured into the boiling open iron pot like a drizzle of spring......

What a dragon beard noodle...... I just don't know if the taste also has the name of a dragon, as strong as dragon tendons......

"What are you doing standing...... Look at what time it is, are you going to make the guests outside hungry! ”

Wu Yan cleaned up the desk, and shouted at the monks gathered together in that rough voice.

Everyone dispersed, Yu Wan nodded to him slightly, and also went over to his stove.

I really didn't expect the monk of the single water spirit root to be so ...... Such a rugged ......

However, his water method can achieve both rigidity and softness......

Unexpectedly, only in the back kitchen of this Xinghai Building, there are also people who cannot be underestimated......

But as it happens, this noodle is just right to go with your own soup and toppings today.

There is also the traditional chicken soup base of Wu Kitchen, and it seems that the monks who came here today are going to feast on it.

Yu Wan sighed in her heart, and returned to her place to see that Wang Shui and the two of them had already processed the ingredients.

She rolled up her sleeves and began to make today's lunch.

Hua Tianyou came over for tea very early, he is a frequent visitor to the Xinghai Tower of the Celestial City, 365 days a year, almost every day.

Even Jin Gui was curious about how he cultivated, and he didn't need to travel or hunt for treasures......

He was also curious about this once, but Hua Tianyou only said that it was a cultivator's secret, and he couldn't say it, and he couldn't say it.

So no matter how curious he was, he could only keep it in his heart.

"Yo, is there any dragon beard noodles from Wu Lingchu today? I can't miss a copy of that, I can't miss it......"

"Wait, this is ......"

Hua Tianyou was about to enter the spiritual light, but when he saw the small words on the side of the dragon's beard, he read it out loud.

"Chicken soup base, rabbit soup base, dry fishing three crispy toppings......"

"What's the choice here, I want all the old flowers."

As he spoke, several rays of light burst out from his fingertips, ordering all the menus in the light curtain on the table.

In a few moments, the table in front of him was filled with spiritual food.

Three toppings of dragon beard noodles, one each of chicken soup and rabbit soup base, as well as a clear rabbit soup with green vegetables and vegetables, and a small plate of shredded rabbit meat......

There are both meat and vegetables, green coexists, and the end is pleasing to the eye, and people can't help but move their index fingers when they see it.

Hua Tianyou looked at them one by one, and first picked up the blue vegetable rabbit soup and tasted it.

Yes, this green vegetable is crispy, and the soup is clear, sweet, and delicious, with a hint of ice......

There is no trace of rabbit meat in the bowl, but the mouth does not leave the unique meat aroma of the frost rabbit.

Holding the bowl in his left hand, he picked up a hand-pulled rabbit meat with chopsticks in his right hand, and the white meat was wrapped in a sauce-red sauce, and there were a few coriander segments in the middle......

Hmm~ The taste is firm but not firewood, this sauce is paired with the frosty atmosphere of the rabbit meat itself, fresh and spicy!

Another bite of rabbit soup with green vegetables is so refreshing!

Putting down the soup in his left hand, Hua Tianyou first picked up the traditional chicken soup dragon beard noodles and ate them.

After sucking it up, the dragon beard noodles slid into your mouth, and the snow-white surface was covered with a pale yellow soup......

The noodles are as strong as ever, between the tongue and teeth, there seem to be countless delicate jade fingers massaging every part of the mouth, with salty and fresh chicken soup, how comfortable it is~

After eating the bowl of chicken soup dragon beard noodles in his hand, he took a chopstick to tear the rabbit meat by hand, and at the same time, he picked up a bowl of topping noodles, which was a sauce-colored stewed jade shoots in oil.

The combination of red sauce and white noodles is really eye-catching.

After mixing well, the slender dragon beard noodles were covered with topping sauce, and with two pieces of jade shoots, they slid straight into Hua Tianyou's mouth.

Fresh, fresh, fresh!

The bamboo shoots, the sauce is fresh, the juice is fresh, and the dragon beard noodles are perfectly blended, as if they are born to be matched like this, and after one bite, you can't help but want the second and third bites......

Hua Tianyou ate happily, bowl after bowl, without leaving himself a little time to rest.

The same is true for everyone in the back kitchen, three kinds of toppings, two kinds of soup base, and a meat dish, this is really a satisfying time to eat dragon beard noodles......

Wu Yan also sighed in his heart when he ate the dragon beard noodles with the fresh toppings of the small mushroom in the bowl, he never thought that the umami of the small mushroom would match the dragon beard noodles so well, just like him and Wan Niang, a pair made in heaven.

Wang Shui is very fond of dragon beard noodles with rabbit broth base, and every bite is paired with the shredded rabbit meat, which is cool.

Jiang Nian likes to mix the toppings of wolfberry leaves, and the sweetness of the boiled soft wolfberry leaves is paired with black vinegar and sesame oil, which is a perfect match for dragon's beard noodles.

Yu Wan is more fond of chicken soup, she likes the mellow chicken soup very much, with a few red wolfberries, the entrance is strong at the same time, but also chews the sweet taste, which is very comfortable.

It is said that it is difficult to adjust the taste, and these various flavor choices can be regarded as giving diners more choices, so that they can choose their favorite flavors.

After another busy day, at midnight, Xinghailou also turned off the lights and disappeared into the night.

Yu Wan used the identity token to flash directly into the small world, hidden in the sycamore mulberry forest, and waited quietly.

At about the beginning of the ugly hour, a crescent moon rose high in the sky, and the faint moonlight sprinkled on the trees.

The trunk of the sycamore tree at the edge was faintly illuminated.

In a few moments, a black shadow leaped high in the distance from the ice field, leaping over the fence and rushing towards the brightest part of the tree trunk.

Boom~

Then there was a muffled sound, and the black shadow had fallen motionless beside the tree.

With the moonlight on the ground, Yu Wan also saw the appearance of the black shadow clearly, which was the Frost Rabbit.

Puzzled, she appeared and walked to the trunk of the tree, pressed her palm again, and a trace of spiritual power wrapped in her divine sense drilled into it again.

This is... The Essence of the Moon?

The divine consciousness she entered this time was not for nothing, and as soon as she entered, her divine consciousness was shaken by a pale white light.

After getting used to it, she swam to the brightest spots.

Looking at the moon-white hexagonal crystal in the center of the trunk, which had condensed into substance, Yu Wan was a little surprised.

I didn't expect to be able to see the essence of the moon in the jade slip here, if it helps, I think the remaining two Jiao will be able to pass soon......

The essence of the moon is a low-grade version of the emperor's slurry, although it is not as good as the emperor's pulp that can be worth a hundred years of cultivation, but the aura contained in it is still extremely sufficient......

The aura it contains is not only very gentle and can be absorbed directly without refining, but it also nourishes the meridians.

Yu Wan was very happy in her heart, she stabilized her mind, and continued to follow the palm of her hand and input the wood spiritual energy into it.

This......

She didn't expect the wood aura to disperse after only wrapping two breaths.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Wan injected the water aura into it again.

It worked!

After the water spiritual power wrapped the essence of the moon, Yu used his divine sense to slowly pull and move.

When she arrived at the palm of her hand, she took out the Huang knife, slashed the knife, and the trunk was broken, and Yu Wan immediately took out the crystal and put it in the jade box, and then sealed it several times in succession.

Putting away the jade box, she used her wood spirit power to restore the knife marks on the surface of the sycamore tree, picked up the rabbit that had been killed, and turned around and went back to the room.

In the room, Yu Wan, who had finished sharing a whole cliff honey roasted spirit rabbit with Humm, sat cross-legged on the bed, took out the jade box and opened it and put it on his side.

Use spiritual power to control the moon crystal hanging in front of him, absorbing the spiritual essence inside it little by little.

A big week.

Two big weeks.

……

After one big week after another, the sky was faintly white.

Yu Wan opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbidity, sealed the moon crystal again, got up and went to the roof to start absorbing purple gas.

It's a new day, and it's still cooking, eating, and cultivating.

As she gets along day by day, Yu Wan also integrates into this big family, and from time to time she will ask Wu Yan for advice on the key points of noodle making.

Every day, her skills and cultivation are gradually improving, and there is only the last section left in Zhongjiao.
