My daily life of cooking food in Tokyo

Chapter 214

Liu Minghui's home is not in the countryside, and of course he doesn't live in the city.

Rather, it belongs to a county with relatively convenient transportation.

The pace is slow and the pressure of life is low, but it is somewhat incompatible with today's fast-paced life.

It's just that although the county seat is good, the traffic is very inconvenient.

When he heard that Liu Minghui was going to County C, the driver shook his head like a rattle and said:
"Little brother, it's not that I don't want to take you with me."

"It's just that if I drive you to the county seat, I'm afraid I'll have to come back empty."

"This way, I will lose a lot just for the gas fee."

"Brother, don't waste your time. I'll take you to the city, the place closest to County C."

"Then we'll find a car to go to the county seat."

"Although I have to move to a sleeping position, it's good for both you and me."

Liu Minghui can understand all these, so he just said three words very calmly:

"I'll add money."

No matter where you add money, it will work.

The driver immediately looked hesitant and said, "How much do you want to add?"

"First of all, I'm not here to make more money from you."

"But when I came back from the county seat, the cars were basically empty."

Liu Minghui stretched out two fingers and said, "Add two hundred."

"It's more than enough to run an empty car on the way back."

"The extra money is the hard work of the driver."

Hearing Liu Minghui's words, the driver immediately smiled.

Anyone who drives a sports car does it just to make money?

Since Liu Minghui is generous, it is naturally impossible for him to keep the guests away.

He immediately said with a smile: "Then there is no need to add two hundred."

"It's about 230 yuan from here to County C."

"I'll give you a 400 yuan wallet directly."

"Of course, you don't have to worry about me cheating you. The clock will be on the whole time."

"If it's too much, you can complain directly."

"You can also use taxi-hailing software to find out how much it usually costs."

The driver seemed to take the initiative to suffer, but in fact, he paid Liu Minghui first in order to trap Liu Minghui.

Otherwise, if you encounter unreasonable passengers, you will only be willing to calculate the metered price after you have passed away.

The driver really wanted to cry without tears.

After roughly estimating the distance, the figures reported by the driver were quite similar.

Since the driver was cheerful, Liu Minghui naturally scanned the 400 yuan without leaving any ink.

Hearing the sound of the money being received into the account, the driver finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Secretly thinking that such a talented and beautiful guest is reasonable.

Immediately shouted: "Okay, we will leave immediately."

Stepping on the accelerator, he took the two of them towards County C at high speed.

Not long after, the taxi arrived at its destination.

After taking their luggage, the two got out of the car smoothly.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment in front of him, Liu Minghui asked the indoor photon:

"Photon, do you want noodles or food?"

Generally, in this case, it is better to recommend where to eat if someone you are familiar with.

It's just that Liu Minghui at least needs to know the preference of indoor photons.

Indoor photon thought for a while and said, "Minghui, let's go eat noodles?"

"I heard that there are many kinds of delicious noodles in Huaguo, so we just went to try them today."

Liu Minghui smiled and said, "Okay, let's go eat noodles."

"Trust me, the taste will not let you down."

Although it is a parallel world, County C looks exactly the same as what Liu Minghui remembers.

It seems that there is no difference at all except that I went to the Sakura Country.

Following the guidance of his memory, Liu Minghui quickly found a small shop called "Lao Zhou Noodle House".

After countless years, Liu Minghui still sees this familiar small shop here, and he is full of emotions.

I still remember going to the market when I was a kid. His favorite thing was to come here and have a bowl of noodles.

For this reason, he even refused to eat breakfast, and was often beaten by his parents.

It's just that every time he ate the delicious noodles, Liu Minghui felt that the beating was worth it.

Even the reason why Liu Minghui embarked on the path of a chef later on is also the emotional bonus of his childhood food memories.

Thinking of this, the two walked in directly.

Liu Minghui shouted skillfully: "Boss, please bring a bowl of burning noodles and a bowl of three-fresh noodles."

Liu Minghui didn't speak his hometown dialect for a long time, but he wasn't unfamiliar with it.

Some things seem to be engraved in DNA and will not change easily.

"You two, please wait a moment. The noodles will be ready soon."

A relatively young voice came from the store, but it was no longer the voice in Liu Minghui's memory.

He looked inside, only to find that the boss had been replaced by a young man.

He vaguely still looks like the original old Zhou, and he should inherit his father's career.

Just don't know how to do it.

In this day and age, there are very few young people who are willing to work hard as chefs.

Those boring basic skills alone are enough to dissuade a large number of people.

Photon in the room opened his eyes wide and asked a little strangely: "What kind of noodles are burning noodles?"

"Why is it called burning noodles? Is it possible that it can be ignited?"

Liu Minghui explained with a smile: "Hua Guo chooses names that are more vivid and can highlight the essence of things."

"Since it's called burning noodles, it can naturally be ignited."

"If you're interested, you can order one and give it a try."

"Of course, if there are more, don't try."

“After all, food is not a toy.”

That is to say, there is plenty of food in modern society.

If you did this kind of thing in the past, you would definitely be scolded.

For example, when Liu Minghui was a child, in order to test the theory of burning noodles, he stole a lighter from home and lit it for fun.

Originally, I ordered one to try, but the more I played, the more fun I ended up ordering a small half bowl of noodles.

Then, as expected, another beating taught him to respect food.

Don't waste food!

Indoor Photon shook his head and said, "There is no need to try."

"For food, being eaten is its greatest meaning."

"Minghui, you just need to explain to me a little bit about staying away."

Liu Minghui looked at the photon in the room with some surprise.

Is it possible that she also suffered countless beatings when she was a child, and she actually understands the true meaning of food so well.

Immediately nodded and agreed: "That's fine, I'll explain it to you when the face comes to light."

In places like noodle restaurants, there is always a pleasant smell of flour.

Especially this kind of old noodle shop, it's like cement mixed with panels, giving it a unique aroma.

As the fragrance gradually became stronger, Xiao Zhou walked over with two plates of noodles under the expectant eyes of the two.

Liu Minghui waved his hand and said, "Master Zhou, can you give us two small bowls for sharing?"

Xiao Zhou signaled that there was no problem, put down two bowls of noodles, and walked back to the kitchen.

Not long after, I took two small bowls over.

At this time, Guangzi in the room was already attracted by the fragrant noodles in front of him, looked at Liu Minghui eagerly and said:

"Minghui, let's eat quickly?"

"Especially that bowl of burning noodles, it looks very tempting."

"The smell is really unbearable."

With such gourmet food, the indoor photon also forgot to verify why burning noodles are called burning noodles.

There is only one thought in my mind, and that is to start eating quickly.

Liu Minghui smiled and said, "Guangzi, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

"The burning noodles must be mixed first, and all the ingredients are mixed with the noodles to be delicious."

"But you can eat some fresh noodles first."

Compared with the fragrant burning noodles, the three fresh noodles are a bit bland.

Even the broth looked a little clear.

However, this is a delicacy that is not inferior to burning noodles. The most prominent thing is the word "fresh".

Liu Minghui took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks, and directly and simply divided a small bowl for the indoor photon.

Soup, noodles, ingredients.

The three delicacies are put into a small bowl in a very suitable proportion.

In the end, Liu Minghui thoughtfully picked up another quail egg, and then placed it in front of Photon in the room.

And it was Liu Minghui who picked up another pair of chopsticks.

While it's still hot, start stirring the noodles.

Broken rice sprouts, crushed peanuts, water spinach, chopped green onion.

Chili and sesame oil.

The rich ingredients and dried noodles are constantly stirred in Liu Minghui's hands.

It soon turned into a bowl of fragrant burning noodles.

Coated with oil and toppings, each noodle looks very tempting.

This is also the origin of the name burning noodles.

Because the oil is heavy and has no water, it burns immediately when ignited, so it is called burning surface.

Seeing Liu Minghui's skillful mixing technique, Xiao Zhou heaved a sigh of relief.

It seems that I am not a novice, and I don't need to remind myself.

I thought the woman was a foreigner. They might just be travelers passing by and didn't know how to eat such local food.

Unexpectedly, Liu Minghui's skillful technique directly stirred the whole bowl of burning noodles just right.

Each noodle is evenly coated with just the right amount of oil.

The distribution of ingredients is also just right to ensure that every bite is the ultimate enjoyment.

People who can stir the noodles so evenly are very rare among the locals in County C.

Perhaps this is a wanderer who has not returned home for a long time and finally returned to his hometown.

The reason why Xiao Zhou intends to remind is because the point of eating burning noodles is to stir them evenly immediately after serving them.

Let the oil fully coat each noodle and seal in the moisture.

This kind of burning noodles tastes the best.

Otherwise, the water in the alkaline noodles will begin to lose, which will not only cause adhesion to itself, but also affect the taste of other ingredients.

While Liu Minghui was stirring the burning noodles, Guangzi also ate the Sanxian noodles.

The noodles are smoother than the indoor photon imagined.

For a moment, she couldn't grasp it.

He could barely lift two noodles into his mouth.

fresh.

This is the first impression of indoor photon on Sanxian noodles.

The soup is brought into the mouth by the noodles, making the taste buds feel extremely delicious.

It is different from the usual tonkotsu ramen.

The noodle soup of Sanxian Noodles focuses on umami.

Then there are the smooth and chewy noodles.

It tastes very textured, and paired with the fresh soup, it makes people want to stop eating.

Served with whistles made of fungus, bamboo shoots, enoki mushrooms, sliced ​​meat, ham slices and other ingredients, it is even more fresh.

The taste of these ingredients has its own characteristics, which can make the three fresh noodles taste richer.

Especially the white meat slices, tender but not woody.

Although it is only a little salty, with the addition of umami, it tastes very delicious.

Indoor Photon felt that this three fresh noodles opened a new door for himself.

Behind the gates are countless gourmet treasures.

The photons in the room moved faster and faster, and soon ate up a small bowl of Sanxian noodles.

Not only that, she didn't even let go of the soup.

Pick up the soup bowl and drink it up in one gulp.

The rich umami flavor exploded in her mouth, a taste bud enjoyment she had never experienced before.

At this time, Liu Minghui handed Indoor Photon another bowl.

Inside is the freshly mixed burning noodles.

Shiny and shiny, it looks very attractive.

Although the two types of noodles are equally delicious, they taste a little different.

So it's better to pack it separately.

Photon in the room asked in surprise: "Minghui, you gave me both bowls."

"Then how do you eat?"

Liu Minghui smiled and said, "Just bring the bowl and eat."

"Eat quickly, I will eat it after eating."

Anyway, you use uneaten chopsticks to share the food, so there is no hygiene problem.

Photon in the room shouted: "How can this work?"

"How can I make Minghui wait until I finish eating?"

Liu Minghui said with a smile: "I only ordered two bowls of noodles. I was really embarrassed to ask the boss for two more bowls."

"Eat quickly, we can go back early when we are full."

"If you really want to experience the food here, you still have to wait until you pack your luggage and feel light."

Indoor Photon was moved in his heart, and secretly said that Minghui was so kind to me.

But when I thought about it, it might be because of his status as a fake girlfriend that Liu Minghui was so kind to him.

And a little sad.

It's just that there was another force in her heart immediately.

So what if it's true or false?
As long as the fake show is real, I will be Liu Minghui's real girlfriend!
Indoor Photon also knew that now was not the time to be pretentious, so he immediately took the bowl of burning noodles and started eating.

Different from Sanxian noodles, burning noodles give people another ultimate enjoyment.

Fragrant.

From the smell of burning noodles, it can make your mouth water.

The aromas of various ingredients are mixed together. Instead of conflicting, they blend perfectly into one.

Very attractive.

Indoor Photon stretched out his chopsticks without hesitation.

Unlike Sanxian noodles, burning noodles are very easy to sandwich.

Soon she picked up a small handful and put it in her mouth, chewing it slowly.

Crispy crushed peanuts, crispy water spinach, salty, crispy and tender rice sprouts.

With the cooperation of chopped green onion, people can enjoy the ultimate freshness with just one bite.

In particular, the broken rice sprouts are fragrant, sweet, crisp, tender and fresh. They are a unique and delicious local pickle.

It's hard to get a similar flavor on other pickles.

The heavy oil-free alkaline surface is moisturized by sesame oil and red oil, but it doesn't feel dry at all.

It's so strong that you can't help but chew it quickly.

One mouthful after another, unable to stop at all.

In just half a minute, the indoor photon finished a small bowl of burning noodles.

She blushed a little, wondering if she seemed a little too reserved like this.

But I think of the scene of eating at the Dragon Carp Izakaya.

The indoor photon is simply broken.

With the delicious dishes made by Liu Minghui himself, she couldn't go back a long time ago.

After filling himself a small bowl of Sanxian noodles, Guangzi said, "Minghui, you can eat the rest of the noodles."

"That's enough for me to eat."

"Although the burning noodles taste good, it's still a little too spicy for me."

Thinking of this, the indoor photon said with some concern: "Minghui, I can't eat spicy food, am I unqualified?"

"In this case, are you still going to go on a blind date?"

Moriyama Joichi once told the chamber photon.

If you want to become the daughter-in-law here, you have to pass a test called "Spicy".

Liu Minghui said a little funny: "What are you thinking about?"

“Even in Sichuan cuisine, there are many dishes that are not spicy.”

"The reason why people here like to eat spicy food is just because of the geographical environment."

"Don't worry, with me here, it is impossible to starve you."

"As for the blind date?"

"You are so good, how could they let me go on a blind date?"

excellent.

Minghui praised me for being excellent.

Hearing this, the photon in the room blushed.

He hurriedly buried his face in the noodle bowl to avoid Liu Minghui's observation.

Liu Minghui did not doubt his presence and began to eat dinner.

Not only because he missed the taste in his memory, but also because he was actually a little hungry.

After all, it is already eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

Liu Minghui's choice is to eat burning noodles first.

Finish it off with three fresh noodles, which is a very good combination.

I wanted to order two like this when I was a kid.

It's a pity that the strength of the old Liu family doesn't allow it.

The alkaline noodles with distinct roots will taste more chewy due to the excess water being dried.

Paired with rich ingredients, eat it in one bite and chew hard.

It is a triple enjoyment of taste, touch and smell.

It's so addictive that you can't stop until you finish eating the whole bowl of noodles.

However, compared to the taste in memory, Liu Minghui felt that the burning noodles were not good enough.

Is it in your own mouth?

Or did Xiao Zhou fail to pass on Lao Zhou’s craftsmanship and lose the taste in his memory?
The answer to this question is unknown to Liu Minghui.

It's just that he knows that if he cooks this cold noodle by himself, he will do better.

Then there are three fresh noodles.

The taste is pretty good, on par with what I remember.

It's just that since it's already night, the whistle that has been stewed for a long time has lost its most delicious taste.

The texture and taste will be a little bit worse.

Sure enough, if you want to eat delicious food, you still have to come early to eat it.

However, in a small county like C County, this kind of craftsmanship is already quite good.

Drink the last mouthful of soup with satisfaction.

Just two simple bowls of noodles awakened Liu Minghui's memory.

Give him a sense of belonging.

This is my hometown.

After dinner, they packed their luggage and set off again.

The county seat is better than the county seat.

Although it was still early, there were not many pedestrians on the street.

The two just walked side by side, enjoying the rare time alone.

Indoor Photon praised: "Minghui, the food in your hometown is really good."

"Just any ordinary small shop, I feel it is much better than the average ramen restaurant in Sakura Country."

“Not only that, one store actually has two completely different styles of pasta.”

"It's really amazing."

"Could it be that your hometown, Minghui, is actually a mysterious gourmet place?"

“Everyone has a very high level of cooking.”

"Otherwise, how could you be so powerful at such a young age?"

"A lot of people who wanted to challenge you were easily eliminated by you in the end."

Liu Minghui shook his head and smiled, "Lao Zhou's noodle restaurant has more than two kinds of food."

"In my impression, there are also red oil Chaoshou and meat noodles that taste quite good."

"It doesn't matter if you haven't eaten today. Take your time. We have plenty of time."

Photon indoors was shocked.

Compared to Sakura Country, this ramen shop is basically nothing new.

As a small restaurant, Laozhou Noodle Restaurant can have so many excellent dishes, it is not too amazing.

She didn't know that an old shop could stand here for many years.

How can I not have two brushes?

She asked curiously: "Is the red oil Chao Shou and Roumo Noodles equally delicious?"

"I think the three fresh noodles and burning noodles taste really good."

“Each has its own characteristics, and it simply opened the door to a new world for me.”

"It's the first time I know that noodles can be eaten like this."

“The taste is also very delicious.”

Liu Minghui took it for granted, "Of course it's also delicious."

"They have their own characteristics and can conquer the stomachs of most people."

"It's a pity that we came late today, and the taste can only be said to be unsatisfactory."

“If you want to get the best taste, you have to eat early.”

“Food tastes best when it’s fresh out of the pan. This is a privilege only for early risers.”

"Next time get up earlier, let's go to the market."

"That's definitely an experience you never had in Sakura Country."

Indoor Photon nodded vigorously.

Thinking of more novel experiences, she couldn't help but look forward to it.

The most important thing is that Liu Minghui will accompany her and enjoy the fun of "going to the market" in his mouth.

This is the happiness that belongs to the two of them alone.

Thinking of the possible scenarios, Indoor Photon felt very happy.

I secretly thought that I had come to the right place this time!

Although Liu Minghui's home is in the county town, it is not too remote.

After eating the noodles and walking for about ten minutes, Liu Minghui saw the familiar door.

This is a simple three-story building.

It even looks a bit worn out.

Liu Minghui didn't feel disgusted at all.

Because this is his home.

dong dong dong.

Liu Minghui knocked on the door of his own house.

Hearing the rhythmic knock on the door, Photon in the room also became nervous.

Will I be able to meet Liu Minghui's parents soon?
Why so suddenly.

Is it a little too fast.

A face turned red visibly to the naked eye.

But this is not the time to be timid.

Indoor Photon plucked up his courage, advanced instead of retreating, and stood a little closer to Liu Minghui.

"I'm coming."

Liu Lixing walked while shouting, and soon came to the gate.

Pushing open the door, he saw Liu Minghui's familiar figure at a glance.

Surprised and said: "Xiaohui, are you back?"

"I thought you would arrive later, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

"Come in quickly, put the things on the ground, and I'll help you get them."

Liu Lixing took the things in Liu Minghui's hands, turned his head and shouted into the room:

"Honey, come and help."

"Xiaohui has a lot of things."

The two of them didn't have much luggage, but when they came, Liu Minghui bought some fruit on the way.

Apart from anything else, the nearly ten kilogram watermelon looks extremely thick.

After Liu Minghui walked into the house, Liu Lixing closed the door without any hassle.

Complained: "Come back when you come back, what are you doing with so many things?"

"It's not that your parents have no money, how can they still be short of food?"

"But it's also good to buy some watermelon."

"Put it in the refrigerator and chill it, it's the most comfortable to eat."

"I heard that watermelon is a luxury product in Sakura Country. It can be quite expensive."

"It's not that rich people are reluctant to eat."

"How can something like watermelon, which is everywhere, become a luxury item?"

"Sakura Country is really a magical place."

"If I weren't afraid of wasting food, I could buy three of them at once."

"Eat one, play with one, throw one."

"Envy them to death."

Liu Minghui explained: "The water and soil are different."

"After all, Sakura Country is only so big, and there aren't many places suitable for growing watermelons."

"Scarcity is the most expensive thing, and the price is naturally expensive."

Only when he turned around did Liu Minghui realize that the photon in the room was locked out.

He's a little messy.

father.

You are such a dear father.

The first thing your girlfriend brings home is to turn her back on you?
