The three judges stared at the unusual pasta in the bowl and hesitated to start.
Yangzhou Yan's young apprentice quietly moved his body, stood behind Jiang Cheng, and whispered: "Yu's Restaurant? Haven't you heard of it? Master, do you know about it?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head lightly, "I don't know."
"That's right, a little-known shop like this can come to participate in the competition. Is it because she bribed the organizer? Master, look at what she makes. It's weird. Can it be eaten?"
The voice was a little louder and he complained.
Jiang Cheng's face darkened and he shouted: "Xiao Si!" He cast a vague glance at the camera passing by, hoping that what he just said was not recorded.
At this time, the young apprentice also realized that something was wrong with him. He broke into a cold sweat and closed his eyes, waiting for the master's rebuke. After waiting for a long time, he didn't find any movement. He quickly stuck out his tongue and stepped aside, not daring to talk nonsense again.
Already.
There were many people who had the same idea as him, and many spectators in the venue booed, confirming that Yu Jian was going to be eliminated in the first round.
Guan Shanyue glanced around calmly, with a sneer in his heart, and then looked at the soup in the bowl, with a smile on his face. He first blew in the hot air slowly, then sipped slowly
He took a small sip and let the soup slide freely between his lips and teeth. The bitter taste of the tea soup made him frown slightly, the sourness of the black plum made him sniff, and the spiciness of the peppercorns made him hiss. Finally, they all blended together and became
It has a slight sweetness from the malt.
Everyone was waiting for his evaluation, but they didn't expect that after swallowing the sip of tea soup, he actually showed a bright smile and turned to stir up the floating dough pieces. The dough shone under the reflection of the soup, and the chopsticks
He picked it up, but it still slipped away. Guan Shanyue picked it up again unconvinced, and just as he raised his hand, he dropped it again. He was so angry that he directly put it on the spoon, scooped up a piece and quickly put it into his mouth.
The noodles are fragrant, slightly salty, and can bring out the unique sweetness of rice noodles. They are different from all the noodles I just ate. They are chewy as if you are eating king oyster mushrooms.
Then I picked up the meat at the bottom of the bowl. The mutton was cut into knuckle-length strips. It smelled a little mutton, and when you bite it, the meat overflowed with juice and was extremely salty.
"Professor Guan, how does it taste?" Shi Jiachuan stopped his impulse to continue and asked anxiously.
Guan Shanyue glanced at him in confusion, "Isn't there one in front of you?" Why are you asking? You can't eat it by yourself?!
At this time, the family historian was dumbfounded. I had no choice but to bite the bullet and try it myself.
Liu Chenggao was already filled with surprise - he took a steady look at the little girl who was still on the stage and was neither humble nor overbearing, and his wrinkled hands were slightly clenched unconsciously.
Others can't recognize it, but it's impossible for him not to know that this green tea soup is the famous "Five Flavor Soup" in ancient times! It seems that this selection competition has really exposed some unknown families with hidden cooking skills.
.
He held the spoon and took a shallow sip. After a long time, he smiled slightly and realized that this taste was exactly the same as what he remembered from his childhood.
He picked up the phone and asked kindly: "Little girl, what is your name?"
"Yu Jian, simple Jian."
His surname is Yu?!
Liu Chenggao was so excited that he almost stood up from his chair. He held on for a long time and said "good" several times in a row.
There was an uproar on and off the stage, and the host stepped forward and asked: "Mr. Liu thinks highly of this bowl of noodles?"
Liu Chenggao felt a little disdainful in his heart. These people in front of him only looked at the surface but did not delve into the deeper meanings. After thinking for a few seconds, he finally said: "This is five-flavor soup!" With one sentence, the whole audience was shocked!
Jiang Cheng's eyes sharpened, and he looked at Yu Jian with a slightly scrutinizing look.
"Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, this is the most original taste in the kitchen. This small bowl of soup perfectly combines these five flavors. And this noodle slice, do you know what it is called?" Liu Chenggao picked it up steadily.
Blade, asked.
Everyone shook their heads.
Guan Shanyue looked at it from the side and tried it himself. The blade slipped from the tip of the chopsticks again. He glared at the historian who secretly laughed at him, reluctantly picked up the phone and said: "Hoo Fu."
"Yes, this is Fufu! Professor Guan is indeed a history student, and his vision is broader than ours." Liu Chenggao complimented without revealing any trace, "Fufu is a pasta that appeared relatively early in Chinese history. This
That’s its scientific name. Nowadays, we usually call it noodle.”
"It turns out it's Nianpi - why are you talking so mysteriously?" Someone below was unconvinced.
Guan Shanyue stroked his beard and smiled, waiting for Liu Chenggao to continue explaining.
Liu Chenggao: "Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet. Why are young people so anxious?" The man's face turned red. "How do you make noodles?"
A young apprentice on the scene rushed to answer: "Knead the dough, wake it up and cut it. What else is there to pay attention to when making dough?"
"If I taste it correctly, the little girl used the 'Shui Yin method' for this bun?" Liu Chenggao asked Yu Jian.
Someone actually knows about the water diversion method! Yu Jian raised his head in disbelief, "Yes, it is indeed the 'water diversion method'."
"What is this?" Everyone couldn't help but discuss in a low voice.
The ancient method of water inducing, using water as a support, is the secret method of sugar noodles. Liu Chenggao looked at Yu Jian with a more kind look. It seemed that he was right, this little girl was indeed the descendant of that person.
"Mr. Liu, let me tell you what happens next." Shi Jiachuan had already finished the bowl in front of him, and then reluctantly grabbed a piece of mutton and two slices of buns from Guan Shanyue.
After chewing it tastefully in his mouth, he spoke.
He wanted to take food from Mr. Liu's mouth, but he didn't dare. The old man was old. If he got sick from anger, it would be his big fault.
So even though he was envious of the old man's soup that was mostly still in his bowl, he could only look at it eagerly from time to time.
Liu Chenggao had long noticed his hot gaze, put the microphone into his hand, and quickly bowed while holding the bowl. This was good stuff, he wanted to keep it and taste it slowly!
Shi Jiazhuan is convinced that this is the five-flavored falcon tufu he saw in the unknown unofficial biography. He looked at Yu Jian with admiration: "In the Tang Dynasty, mutton was the royal meat of the princes and nobles. It is said that Xuanzong was good at meat.
, but he was worried that eating too much meat would cause him to get angry. The imperial chef and the medical officer racked their brains and finally made the five-flavor soup. The mutton strips brewed with the five-flavor soup smelled smelly, but the food left a fragrant aroma. Xuanzong drank the whole thing
A big bowl made me burst into tears, and I looked back on my life in a short period of time."
Shi Jiazhuan looked at everyone's astonished expressions with pride and said: "Of course, this is a piece of unofficial history. But whether it is five-flavor soup or falcon and tufu, there are traces to follow. The theme of our selection competition this time is
The word 'ancient'. Putting aside the taste, the little girl's noodle dish can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago. It will kill all of you in an instant. As for the taste, I use two words to describe it, one of which is 'odd'
, the word is 'second'. I can't describe it, I can only ask everyone to taste it before judging."
But judging from his tone, he definitely voted for it.
