I have been to Hangzhou Guzheng several times, but every time I came and went in a hurry, I really didn’t appreciate the city carefully.
Mumu is much better than him. Mumu doesn’t even go to Hangzhou as many times as Gu Zheng, but she is a senior foodie and the editor-in-chief of the Food Channel. Every time she goes to Hangzhou, she always asks about Hangzhou’s food.
With her connections, it is not difficult to get this information, so she knows more delicious places than Guzheng.
She found out about Xiaosong Noodle House by chance. The name of Xiaosong Noodle House sounds very ordinary, but the store is very big. There are six street-facing shops on the first floor, the second and third floors. The signature of the noodle shop is pasta, but it also sells stir-fries and other dishes.
Dishes.
The location of Xiaosong Noodle House is not very good. It is a place far away from the West Lake. The time when Mumu and Gu Zheng arrived here was at five o'clock in the afternoon. By this time, two-thirds of the people were already sitting in the hall. At this rate, by the evening
It must be full.
"Here we are, this is it. The last time I had their noodles was three months ago. I miss them so much!"
Standing at the door of the antique noodle shop, Mumu said with emotion that the noodles here were indeed very good, but if they were not very delicious, she would not miss them for so long. She had also written an article praising the noodle shop.
There were just two of them, and they found a small table in the hall and sat down. Mumu ordered a bowl of egg noodles, and Gu Zheng ordered a bowl of the simplest chopped green onion noodles.
Eating noodles does not need to be too fancy. Really good noodles are often very simple. Noodles that require beef, mutton or ribs to moisten the flavor are not considered real noodles. Those noodles usually use the flavor of meat to attract people.
.
After ordering two bowls of noodles, Mumu ordered two special side dishes. The side dishes were faster than the ones on the noodles. The two of them ate while waiting.
The taste of Xiaocai's food was very average. The ingredients ranged from rubbish to low-grade, and they were all cold dishes. They were also the kind of big pot dishes that were prepared a lot at once. Gu Zheng only ate a few chopsticks and then put them down. This kind of food no longer attracts him.
Any attention, if you eat these, you might as well go back and make them yourself.
Even with low-grade ingredients, what Gu Zheng makes is better than these.
"Have you heard that our Master Wang has also signed up for the food competition this time? He wants to make it with sky noodles, and he said he must win the top prize this time!"
"If Master Wang uses Tianmian, he will definitely win the prize this time, and he will definitely win the first place!"
"That's right, Master Wang said that he didn't want to participate at first, but when he saw that there were so many talents from out of town who signed up, he said that in the competition we held in Hangzhou, we couldn't let outsiders take the first place, so Master Wang signed up
After that, I was sent directly to the fourth game of the preliminary round!"
"That's right. There is so much publicity for this competition and there are such high prizes. We must not allow outsiders to take away the first place!"
Not far away from the two, two shop assistants took advantage of their free time to talk quietly. Their voices were not loud, at least Mumu didn't hear what they said.
After Gu Zheng's Tie Xian Immortal Art entered the second realm, coupled with the changes in his physique, both his hearing and other five senses have been greatly improved. What Mu Mu didn't hear clearly, Gu Zheng heard everything.
From what they said, there should be a chef in this store who also signed up for the food competition and was admitted. These two guys are very confident in their chefs.
For a competition with more than 5,000 people registered, it was no big deal to meet the same contestants in Hangzhou. I just didn't expect that by such a coincidence, the first place I came to eat would be there.
"Boy, here comes the noodles, egg noodles, chopped green onion noodles!"
Just as they were thinking about it, a waiter brought them two bowls of noodles. Gu Zheng looked at his chopped green onion noodles, a delicate celadon small bowl. There wasn't much pasta in the bowl, and there were a few slices of chopped green onion floating on the white noodle soup.
Exudes a light fragrance.
"I'll eat first!"
Mumu didn't want to be polite to Gu Zheng, but just said something and started to cool the noodles, and ate them happily. Gu Zheng also picked up the chopsticks, picked up a noodle, blew on it, and put it into his mouth.
“Noodles, inferior ingredients!”
After taking only one bite, Gu Zheng's eyes flashed with surprise. The noodles turned out to be of inferior quality, the same grade as the rice cakes he had eaten.
It is not easy to produce second-class food. Gu Zheng now knows the food very well. In order for a food material to be of second-class quality, the requirements are strict. The cultivation process must be pure and natural, without any chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
Nowadays, whether it is wheat or rice, something must be put during the planting process. If it is not put, it will not be able to grow, and the harvest may be lost due to insect pests.
Especially for wheat, due to various pests and diseases of wheat itself, if nothing is added when planting, the yield will be pitifully low, and it is possible for an acre of land to be nothing.
“It’s actually inferior ingredients, no wonder!”
Gu Zheng silently nodded. No wonder Mumu admires this place so much. The main ingredients here are of second-class quality, the water used is also low-grade, the green onions and ingredients are also of low-grade quality, and the main ingredients are second-class.
, other ingredients are low-grade, and coupled with their own cooking skills, this taste is finally formed.
No wonder the two guys are so confident. Their noodles are really good. If they go to compete, Gu Zheng doesn’t know if he can make it to the finals, but it’s no problem to get good results in the preliminary round.
"The Tianmian noodles are here, lucky customers, please enjoy them slowly!"
A waiter came over with a bowl of noodles and placed the noodles next to a table of customers. Many people eating in the noodle shop turned their heads and looked at the customer with this bowl of noodles with envy.
"Tianmian?"
Gu Zheng's heart moved slightly. He had just heard the two guys mention this name, but he didn't pay attention at the time.
"Tianmian, you are so lucky to get Tianmian. The people eating in the private room upstairs will probably be depressed this time!"
Mumu also said something envious. Seeing that Gu Zheng looked confused, he took the initiative to explain to Gu Zheng.
Tianmian noodles are the real signature of Komatsu Noodle House and the most delicious of all noodles. However, the Tianmian noodles of Komatsu Noodle House are not sold to the public. Anyone who eats here every day can draw a lottery, and the winner will receive a free bowl of Tianmian noodles.
.
The qualifications for the lottery are very simple. Every time you order noodles, you can draw a prize. People often want to win the lottery and order dozens of bowls of noodles in a row. Because of the serious waste, the noodle shop later changed the rules. Everyone can only
After drawing prizes three times, no matter how many noodles you order after that, you won’t be drawn again.
There are many people who want to eat sky noodles, and someone quickly comes up with a countermeasure to the requests from noodle restaurants.
Many people invite friends over for dinner, and then each person orders three portions of noodles. If he wins the lottery, the qualification is his/her own. So later, many wealthy people take people to private rooms to eat, and the table is full of noodles.
The portion of noodles at Komatsu Noodle House is not large. Three bowls per person can still be eaten, so this will not cause waste, and it also gives others many chances to win the lottery. This is different from the time when Gu Zheng sold fried eggs with purchase restrictions.
The food sharing idea that others came up with is somewhat similar. The noodle shop does not limit the purchase of noodles, but it limits the number of draws. In the end, others also pull people to share.
“Are Tianmian noodles that delicious?”
Gu Zheng couldn't help but ask. There was only one portion of noodles every day, but so many people were thinking of ways to get it, which made Gu Zheng curious.
"I haven't eaten it either. This store is different from other stores. They don't care if you help promote it. Even if I reveal my identity, they won't give me a piece of Tian Noodles for free. But I have heard others say that Tian Noodles are more ordinary than this."
The noodles are much more delicious. Only after eating Tianmian will you know what real noodles are!”
Mumu shook her head. She had wanted to eat Tian Noodles for a long time. Unfortunately, Tian Noodles was harder than Gu Zheng's omelette. There was only one portion a day. With so many people smoking, she had never won the prize. This was also her regret.
