Food starts from cooking

Chapter 43 Elm leather noodles, the legendary kitchen utensils
chicken soup?

Thirteen incense?
Minced meat?

Oil residue?

In those days, poor families living in the mountains, how could they have these things!
The reason why Zhou You was kept in the dark was also because he was in the middle of the game, and because he was a chef, he was fooled by the old man saying that the most delicious noodles he had eaten in 70 years!

You know, when a person is hungry, let alone a bowl of delicious delicacies, even a white flour steamed bun can be considered a delicacy in the world.

So noodles made of white flour, or noodles made of buckwheat noodles, are fundamentally wrong.

Mr. Meng just held the noodles like that, tears fell down into the soup.

then……

Holding the chopsticks, he took one bite at a time, no, he ate it in big mouthfuls.

Seeing this, the other people's voices also became quieter.

Everyone can see that this bowl of noodles may really restore the taste of the old man's bowl of noodles 70 years ago.

especially……

The old man was in tears!

This man, who had suffered countless battlefield injuries, was crying because of a bowl of noodles at this moment!

The Meng family present could only treat them in silence.

In the hall, there was only the sound of Mr. Meng sucking and sucking noodles, and the noodles were indeed light gray or light brown.

Finally, a bowl of noodles was finished, and even the soup was drunk.

The old man put down the bowl and chopsticks, only his eyes were still a little red, he let out a long sigh of relief, looked at Zhou You with gratitude, obviously he understood!
The others looked at Zhou You with doubts.

Zhou You coughed dryly and said, "First of all, it's about the flour!"

Zhou You looked at Mr. Meng and said, "This is elm noodles!"

Elm noodles?
As soon as this remark came out, many people present were puzzled, obviously they had never heard of the so-called elm noodles!
But Huo Yun, the daughter-in-law of the grandson, suddenly said: "Elmskin noodles? I seem to have heard of this, and I have eaten it once!"

Zhou You smiled and said: "It is true that some young people have eaten it, but... this elm skin noodles were actually eaten by two extreme groups of people!"

"Either the rich change their tastes, or... the poor have nothing to eat!"

"The principle is the same as the current Wowotou!"

People who have never suffered from hunger, are used to delicacies from mountains and seas, and can't appreciate how precious white noodles are.

but……

Those who have been hungry are different.

Mr. Meng took up the conversation: "When I was young, I couldn't see white flour and rice at all. During the Chinese New Year, I could have a few catties of white flour. Usually, I ate potatoes, corn flour, bean flour, elm flour and the like. !"

"After life got better, these things went away, and I basically didn't want to eat them anymore!"

"And this bowl of noodles... should be made of yupi noodles, probably because it's too old, so my memory is incomplete!"

The old man held the bowl, his eyes were a little distracted, and he didn't know what he remembered.

"The so-called elm skin noodles are actually the bark of the elm tree. Now people eat it to change the taste, or feel the difficulty of the older generation, so now the price of elm skin noodles is higher than that of white noodles!"

"But back then, this thing was completely a helpless act of starvation!"

Many people find it incredible to eat bark and eat bark, because it is not the dry bark that is exposed outside, but the dry bark outside the elm tree, and you will find a film inside, take that film off , dried and ground into powder, it becomes elm noodles!
"This bowl of noodles is elm skin noodles, not just elm skin noodles, it's mixed with bean noodles, buckwheat, wheat bran..."

"Actually, they're all leftovers, something poor people eat!"

While Zhou You was narrating, a young man of three generations from the Meng family also quietly took the previous bowl of noodles, and after tasting it, his expression changed immediately, and he spit out the noodles: "Bah, bah, this... It's so unpalatable!"

This subconscious move immediately made other people glared.

By now, everyone has actually understood what the so-called most fragrant bowl of noodles means.

That's just a bowl of mixed noodles that the old man escaped from death to fill his stomach with hunger and hunger!
Its taste is not as good as that of small street shops, it is not as good as the handmade noodles made by my mother at home, and it is even more incomparable with the few bowls of noodles that Zhou You made before.

but……

That bowl of noodles is indeed the most delicious bowl for Mr. Meng!

The grandson hated eating the noodles, and even vomited. Mr. Meng didn't blame him, but his eyes became more lax, and he said quietly: "Back then...if it wasn't for me, Miss Li and Aunt Liu...wouldn't have died!"

As he spoke, he burst into tears.

Zhou You was silent, it seems that something should have happened back then, otherwise, he wouldn't have remembered it for so long.

It is said that I remember a bowl of noodles, but in fact, there is a high probability that I remember the girl of the same age wearing a flower jacket, and Aunt Liu!

Especially from the meaning of these words, these two people died because of him!

[Congratulations to the player for completing the random mission, reward: the legendary kitchen utensil: Eternal Soul Knife! 】

What the hell!

WTF?

Legendary kitchenware?

Go astray!

This thing seems to be from an animation?
but……

Zhou You has long wanted to own a knife of his own, but he has never made it. Now it is ready, and the system gives it as a gift, and it is also a legendary kitchen utensil!

I just don't know if this knife will have any special abilities!
When the reward appeared, it proved that the matter had been settled. The old man cried loudly, and the more he cried, the more sad he became. Zhou You couldn't be there, so he left quietly.

"Brother Zhou, thank you so much this time!"

"And... I really convinced you this time!"

Zhao Chengjun held Zhou You's hand and didn't let go for a long time. Fortunately, he had a wife and children, otherwise Zhou You thought this guy had some special hobbies, but he quickly let go.

Seeing Zhang Yu on the side, Zhou You pointed out: "Cooking has warmth and humaneness!"

Zhang Yu was stunned and fell into deep thought!
It was getting dark, and Zhou You had to go back, so he took Zhao Chengjun to the parking lot, pointed to a few cars and said, "These cars are handed over to you, and the documents are also in the car!"

Luxury cars are just decorations, so Zhou You is going to make these cars move, and find a car rental company to hang them out. It just so happens that Zhao Chengjun has a connection here.

And Zhao Chengjun had already stayed where he was, staring at those cars!

Ferrari 488?Lamborghini bull?McLaren 720?Audi R8?

What the hell!

Before Zhou You said that he wanted to rent a car, he was fine, but who would have thought that it was a car of this level.

and……

Why so many?
"Zhou... Brother Zhou, are these your cars?"

Seeing Zhou You nodding his head, Zhao Chengjun gasped, and wiped the sweat from his forehead secretly. Fortunately, he didn't tell half of Chuanhai Restaurant, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

"Brother Zhou, don't worry, I will help you with these cars clearly, if you need anything in the future, just mention it!"
