Volume 3: The situation in Zhongzhou Chapter 96: The soldiers are divided into three paths
After tasting Master Huang's bowl of triple braised noodles with soybean paste, Yang Ming's bowl of noodles seemed a bit bland.
Although the huge piece of roast beef is very tempting, compared to the perfect combination of three braised beef and three shreds, although the beef is fragrant, it lacks a sense of integration.
"Let's try it and see how this little guy's noodles taste."
Mr. Bao was very optimistic about Yang Ming's bowl of noodles, but the other two were not so optimistic.
Huang Zhixing’s noodles can be said to be the best in the world.
When I faced off against Mr. Zuo, I won three out of ten battles by face.
It can be said that when it comes to food like noodles, Huang Zhixing is the pinnacle of the entire Cloud Empire.
If Yang Ming wants to surpass this bowl of three-braised noodles with soybean paste, just relying on fancy ideas is not enough.
Even though he was not optimistic about Yang Ming's bowl of noodles, Mr. Chu still decided to try it.
"You three adults, please wait a moment. The chef who made this noodles said that there is an order for eating these noodles."
"Please let the three adults eat beef first, then soup, and finally noodles."
"Is there such a thing as this?"
Master Chu suddenly became curious about this. He took the lead in picking up the piece of beef and bit into it.
The beef is roasted on the outside and filled with rich gravy inside.
The hot gravy fills your mouth, and the beef is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It not only retains the most fundamental meat flavor of the beef, but also adds a fresh fragrance.
"This scent is vanilla!"
“His beef is marinated in herbs and then grilled over fruit charcoal.”
Mr. Chu is obviously a person who knows a lot about eating, and he explained the mystery in one sentence.
"Wood makes fire, and creation follows the flow."
Inspector General Wang murmured that this beef exactly corresponds to the creative state of the five elements.
"Underneath, is the noodle soup."
Mr. Bao took the lead in picking up the bowl and started drinking.
After drinking half a bowl of noodle soup, Mr. Bao's eyes suddenly lit up.
“This noodle soup is so refreshing!”
"This is a noodle soup made with sour plum and mushroom stock."
Master Chu tasted it for a long time before coming to a conclusion.
This combination is unheard of!
The sour plum is clear and the soup stock is thick, so it is difficult to combine the two.
If you use pork bone soup or beef bone soup, the taste will be extremely weird.
However, Yang Ming used mushroom broth and sour plums to create this extremely refreshing noodle soup!
"No, there is something else, not just sour plum and mushroom soup."
Mr. Chu closed his eyes and took another careful sip.
"Between the sourness and the umami flavor of the stock, there is an overlooked flavor."
"hot!"
"You can't taste this spiciness if you don't taste it carefully. You can only feel the slight irritation when you swallow the soup!"
Yang Ming uses spiciness to combine freshness and sourness.
Where did you get this wonderful idea?
"It's unbelievable. Is this really something that a fifteen-year-old boy can make?"
The three adults became more and more excited as they ate. Eating Master Huang's triple braised noodles with soy sauce is like a luxurious feast for the taste.
Eating Yang Ming's bowl of noodles is opening up a treasure trove of taste!
One surprise after another bursts out from the treasure chest, making people want to continue exploring involuntarily!
"Then, the key to victory is the face!"
After Master Bao finished speaking, he took the lead in picking up a stick of noodles and started sucking it.
The theme of the duel is noodles, so no matter how great your beef and noodle soup are, if the noodles are not good, it will be in vain.
"Well!"
Master Bao ate this chopstick noodle, and his mind suddenly changed.
"How can it be so exciting? Is this really noodles?"
Mr. Bao felt the noodles dancing in his mouth, fragrant and delicious!
Not only that, the noodles soaked in sour soup, cucumber shreds, onion crisps and apple shreds go into your mouth together. They are refreshing, crispy and sweet in the mouth!
Moreover, this noodle has a unique taste that can unify it all!
Chef Huang's noodles are made with excellent proportions based on decades of experience.
This kind of noodles can be used in any dish. He just needs to make a fuss about the ingredients.
And Yang Ming’s noodles are so unique!
only him
This soup, this beef, and this side dish can have the best and most complete effect when paired with these noodles.
If anything changes in this bowl of noodles, it will definitely not taste like this!
"This kid takes risks, and a highly skilled person is bold!"
Mr. Chu's evaluation is very high. Not to mention that Master Huang can't make this bowl of noodles, no one in the Cloud Empire dares to cook it like this!
So far, all the dishes they have eaten have been harmonious, versatile and gentle.
And Yang Ming’s bowl of noodles has extremely powerful impact and personality!
It can be said that it cannot be copied, or that this bowl of noodles is an unprecedented innovation!
He kneaded the character of a chef completely into this bowl of noodles.
"This is completely incomparable."
Mr. Chu said this after finishing Yang Ming's bowl of noodles.
Although in terms of taste, both bowls of noodles reached perfection and perfection.
However, these two bowls of noodles are completely different.
One is unremitting self-requirement.
The other is unfettered self-expression.
One is a thousand hammers and thousands of chisels, and the other is a creation of heaven and earth.
It is absolutely no exaggeration to say that Yang Ming’s bowl of noodles is groundbreaking!
Because, before beating him, no one would dare to cook like this! In fact, no one would even want to cook like this.
I don’t know if the secular world has restricted creativity or if people have become rigid in their thinking.
The independent innovation of dishes is completely fixed under a huge framework.
The appearance of Yang Ming directly destroyed this framework.
Like a cynical monkey, he beat the frame to pieces with a stick.
He is challenging the taste world outside the frame!
One is a master who carefully constructs the framework, and the other is a pioneer who breaks the framework.
It is not difficult to decide who wins and who loses between the two.
"Second bowl!"
Lord Chu was the first to give his choice.
"Second bowl! This boy is so bold!"
Mr. Bao did not forget to say one more thing and looked at Inspector Wang, who frowned.
"I choose the first bowl."
"Old Wang, you can't lie. You don't know the degree of innovation in this second bowl."
Lord Bao asked Inspector Wang, who nodded.
"Of course I know, but this kind of perseverance and practicality make me like it even more."
"Innovation, I admit it is very important, but in my opinion, this kind of craftsmanship is even more important."
"So, my vote is for the first bowl."
After listening to Inspector General Wang's words, Mr. Chu waved his hand.
"Okay, okay, I know you are meticulous and everyone in your Supervision Department has this problem."
Lord Bao laughed twice after hearing what Lord Chu said.
"Okay, let's announce the results and invite the two chefs to come and have a look."
The waiter bowed and then withdrew. After a while, Yang Ming came up with a red face.
Master Huang followed Yang Ming, also smiling.
Lao Lu raised his finger at Yang Ming and motioned for Yang Ming to come over.
As soon as Yang Ming walked up to Lao Lu, Lao Lu slapped Yang Ming directly on the head.
"You bastard, why didn't you pay so much attention when you were cooking for me?"
"Just make some messy things to fool me. If you dare to fool me again, you will be the one to look good!"
Lao Lu looked at Yang Ming with disgust, and Yang Ming chuckled.
"Actually, I'm really good at this job. Don't get me wrong, Lao Lu. I'm also very dedicated in cooking for you!"
"Yang Ming, is it possible that you figured out how to make this noodle soup yourself?"
Mr. Chu was very curious. The taste of this noodle soup was really amazing. How could a fifteen-year-old child have such fantastic ideas?
"This noodle soup was actually improved by me."
"When I was discussing cooking at Zuo Laona, I learned about something called Tom Yum Soup."
"This kind of soup is made from seafood stock and sour soup with chili peppers. It tastes extremely refreshing, but if it is used to make noodles, it will be too rich."
"So, I replaced the seafood stock with mushroom stock, the sour soup with sour plums, and the chilies with green garlic."
“This noodle soup is refreshing and refreshing, perfect for eating with noodles!”
Listening to Yang Ming's explanation, Mr. Chu nodded repeatedly.
He had heard of Tom Yum Goong soup, but he didn't expect that this noodle soup had such a background. Sure enough, this boy's creativity was extraordinary.
"What about this noodle? It can't be just yellow noodles, there should be something else added in it."
"When I make the noodles, I add a little bit of alkaline water. The noodles are very chewy and the slightly bitter noodles can combine the flavors of the ingredients."
"So, this bowl of noodles is a bowl of noodles that combines the five elements and five flavors!"
"I called him, Five Elements and Five Flavors Noodles."
This name is really vulgar.
Mr. Hong shook his head after hearing this, and even Hu Yue burst out laughing, making fun of Yang Ming's lack of culture.
Lin Ruo listened to Yang Ming's description, thought silently in his heart, and then said:
"How about calling it Sanqing Tongming Noodles?"
When Lin Ruoyi said this, Mr. Bao immediately clapped his hands and applauded.
Mr. Chu gave Mr. Bao a sideways look. You, Bao Qingyun, are good at solving cases, but forget about being arty.
Three noodles, three experiences.
Eating meat feels like wood generates fire, a state of creation, corresponding to the Qi of the Three Purities.
Drink the soup and feel the blending of water and wood, which corresponds to the essence of the three pure things.
Eating noodles gives you a myriad of feelings of perfection, calming the soul and magical powers, corresponding to the three pure gods.
The three levels of clarity of essence, energy, and spirit are the so-called three clear aspects of clarity.
"Okay, this name is much better than Five Elements and Five Flavors Noodles, it has connotation!"
"What, it's a mess, I still think the Five Elements and Five Flavors sound good!"
Yang Ming looked helpless, but since everyone had agreed, he would reluctantly accept it.
"Master Huang, are you satisfied with the result?"
Master Chu asked, and Master Huang smiled and cupped his hands.
"I already knew the result when I saw Chef Yang cook it just now. Zuo Gong has a keen eye and Yang Ming deserves the title."
"Okay, in that case, your competition is over, and it's time for us to talk about business."
After hearing this, Master Huang withdrew and ordered people to guard the door and no one was allowed to enter.
Also coming out with Master Huang were Yang Ming, Mo Lin and Hu Yue.
Children cannot get involved in what they are talking about now.
"Why are the three of us allowed to come out while Senior Sister can be inside?"
Hu Yue asked with a puzzled look.
"If you have the strength of senior sister, you can also be in it."
Mo Lin gave an explanation that Hu Yue could not refute, so the little girl had no choice but to settle down and follow Master Huang out obediently.
Yang Ming followed Master Huang with a sunny look on his face.
If he wins this game, Master Huang's recipes and techniques can be taught to him.
To be honest, when I was cooking just now, Master Huang’s skill in kneading the dough was really amazing!
Yang Ming couldn't do it, so he had to use the dough press...
"Master Huang, hehe, I want to learn your dough kneading skills, do you think so?"
Master Huang was stunned for a moment. He recognized Yang Ming's strength. This Kan Chunxuan was his, so what was his skill in kneading dough?
That’s it for teaching!
On the facade of the private room, several people gathered around a large table. Except for Lin Ruo, the people sitting at this table were all masters of the realm of gods.
The issue they discussed stemmed from the latest secret decree issued by the Zong family.
"Order Chu Yunfei from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Bao Qingyun from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to coordinate with the Supervision Department to thoroughly investigate the sect members hiding in Yunjing."
"Ultimately uproot it to avoid future troubles."
Lu Cheng carefully read the secret order several times. The Zong family should have known about the sect in Yunjing for a long time.
They were quite honest before, but recently they acted too openly, so they had to be eliminated.
"I know what your Majesty's secret decree means, but I need Lu Cheng to share the information with us."
Mr. Chu said straight to the point. Mr. Hong squinted his eyes and listened to their conversation. Naturally, he knew a lot about these things.
Lu Cheng thought for a while, everyone present should be the confidants of the Zong family, so it would be okay to reveal some information.
"In this case, I will share the information I know with you adults."
Lu Cheng's expression became serious. Inspector Wang looked around and turned his hands to form a huge formation.
The Wan Lai Quiet Formation instantly enveloped the entire elegant room.
