The noodles are very thin, slightly yellow, and fried. This is naturally the classic Chinese noodle dish, dragon beard noodles.
Another noodle dish that contains tofu, diced meat, eggs, and cauliflower in a stewed sauce is the whistle noodles that could be found almost everywhere in Ye Chui's previous life.
You don’t need to know much about gourmet food to guess the names of these two types of noodles—of course, the premise is that you live in Ye Chui’s original era when he had not been harmed by poisonous meat.
However, the two types of noodles, dragon beard noodles and sauerkraut noodles, are rarely seen in China today. Dragon beard noodles do exist, after all, this type of noodles does not contain meat, but the craftsmanship required to make this type of noodles is very high, requiring the unique skill of stretching noodles. Otherwise, the noodles pulled out are not called dragon beard noodles, but ramen.
It is not easy to stretch noodles as thin as hair.
It can be said that this craft has been completely lost in China, but this noodle-making technology still exists here in Chinatown.
Another noodle dish, sauerkraut noodles, is a type of noodle dish that was lost due to the lack of meat during the era when meat was considered poisonous. Unexpectedly, it has also flourished in Chinatown.
Moreover, although the names of the two kinds of noodles at Wangfu Noodle House have been changed, the inheritance is very complete - the two noodles at Wangfu Noodle House are ranked in the top two of the original top ten representative dishes of Chinatown. This seems to illustrate a problem: only recipes that are completely inherited from China can become famous.
The original Chinese recipe is the most perfect.
"Hurulu..."
"Hurulu..."
In the lobby of Chen's Hotel, the sound of people eating noodles could be heard constantly.
Noodles should be eaten with a slurping sound to be delicious, and now everyone in the hotel is eating noodles with great flavor and enjoyment.
“Even the taste is very similar to the oil noodles and meat noodles at Wangfu Noodle House, but... it seems to be more delicious. Master, you can just make these two noodles during the competition. You will definitely be able to beat them.” Chen Tian said with a smile while slurping the noodles.
"No, the advantage is not obvious." Jiang Yuemei also ate heartily and took the time to say, "Ye Chui's noodles are indeed very delicious, better than the noodles we usually eat at Wangfu Noodle House. But you have to know that the chef at Wangfu Noodle House is not their nine-star chef, but the apprentice of his seven-star chef. When the cooking competition comes, the chef will definitely be the nine-star chef, and his level must be much higher than his apprentice. Just because it tastes better, it can't surpass the other party."
Ye Chui smiled but said nothing - could he say that he didn't really put any effort into making the two bowls of noodles
Apart from anything else, the most standard way to stretch dragon beard noodles is to do it 14 times, and the noodles that are stretched out are as thin as hair, with a total of 16,384 strands. Ye Chui can certainly stretch them out, but it requires a lot of energy, so when he was making the noodles just now, he only did it 10 times, so the quality of the noodles is naturally slightly inferior.
Of course, Ye Chuidao didn’t want to make these two pasta dishes during the cooking competition.
Although Longxu noodles and Saozi noodles are delicious, there are many noodles that are more famous and delicious than these two. For example, in the last life, there was a selection of the top ten noodles in China, and Longxu noodles and Saozi noodles were not among the top ten noodles...
"Then Master, what kind of noodles are you going to make in the cooking competition?" Han Yuyan asked curiously while putting noodles into his mouth, "Have you decided yet?"
"Well, this..." Ye Chui was about to say that he had already made up his mind, but then he thought of the selection of the top ten noodles in his previous life. Since it was a cooking competition, Ye Chui would naturally use the noodles from the top ten selection to compete.
It is worth mentioning that in the competition with Wangfu Noodle House, since there are three participants, there will be two competitions. The first competition will eliminate one person, and then the remaining two will compete again.
So strictly speaking, Ye Chui needs to make two dishes.
It's no surprise that Wangfu Noodle House makes Longxu Noodle and Saozi Noodle. For these two noodles, Ye Chui has already thought of the two dishes to counter them...
But before he could tell us the two dishes he was going to make, Tang Shanshan said loudly, "Boss, I think you should combine our opinions."
"What's your opinion?" Ye Chui looked at Tang Shanshan curiously.
"What I mean is, you make all the noodles you mentioned before one by one, and let us choose which one is the most delicious." Tang Shanshan said with anticipation.
When others heard what Tang Shanshan said, they all agreed.
"I think what Shanshan said makes sense." Aunt Jiang said with a smile.
Chen Tian also nodded.
After Chris knew what Tang Shanshan said, he immediately gave her a thumbs up: "Good!"
Ye Chui: “…”
He was asked to make more than a dozen kinds of noodles one by one. I think these people just want to taste these delicacies, right
…
Sentosa Hotel in Chinatown.
While Ye Chui was having trouble deciding which dish to make because there were too many dishes to choose from, Huang Yiyuan and Jim were also worried in Shengdefu Hotel - but they were certainly not worried because there were too many choices, but because... there were no choices at all.
"Jim, I can understand why you stood up to challenge Mrs. Gao, but... our restaurant doesn't have any noodle dishes at all." Huang Yiyuan said with a headache, rubbing his forehead.
Of course, there are noodles on Shengdefu’s menu, but they are clear soup noodles served with rice. There is nothing surprising about them, and they cannot be compared with the two signature noodles of Wangfu Noodle House, so Huang Yiyuan feels very headache.
Jim also felt that he seemed a little rash at the time, but he would not regret his decision: "Then I will use these few days to study a way to make noodles. I don't believe that I can't create an excellent noodle recipe."
"This... Sigh." Huang Yiyuan sighed, realizing that Jim was just trying to hold on. He was good at cooking, not pastry, and he knew that. "Try your best. Anyway... our opponent this time is Madam Gao. If you can't do it, there's still Ye Chui." At this point, Huang Yiyuan suddenly thought of something, "Maybe, we can get some recipes from Ye Chui..."
"I won't ask him for help!" Jim said stubbornly. Although he admitted that Ye Chui was better than him, his pride couldn't make him bow his head and ask Ye Chui for help. He clenched his fists tightly and said, "I can handle it myself."
"Well... okay." Huang Yiyuan had no choice but to give up, "Ye Chui may not have any recipes to show..."
Later he realized that what he said was totally wrong...
In the kitchen, Jim was very happy and continued his experiment.
Huang Yiyuan has also been staying in the restaurant and has not left, offering advice and suggestions. Although his level is not as good as Jim's, he is still a six-star chef after all.
It was soon evening.
Jim poured the newly made shredded pork noodles into the trash can in a somewhat dejected manner. The taste of this shredded pork noodle was definitely not bad, but it did not satisfy him. Such noodles could never be a match for Mrs. Gao's.
Huang Yiyuan stood at the kitchen door and couldn't help but sigh again.
At this time, a waiter came to his side and said, "Master Huang, Boss Wang is here."
"Huh?" Huang Yiyuan was stunned and turned his head to look. He saw a man in his thirties in a suit walking towards him with a smile on his face. He was a Chinese-American mixed-race with yellow hair and fair skin, but the shadow of Asian ancestry could be seen in his face.
Shengdefu is just a branch in Chinatown in San Francisco, but the main store is located in Chinatown in Philadelphia. The owner of the San Francisco branch is Huang Yiyuan, and the young man surnamed Wang in front of you is the owner of the main store of Shengdefu. His name is Peter Wang, and his father is the founder of Shengdefu, but he has passed away now.
Although Peter Wang is the big boss of Shengdefu, he is actually only responsible for managing the main store. The San Francisco branch is completely controlled by Huang Yiyuan. The San Francisco branch has even become the representative of Shengdefu and is more famous than the main store.
Huang Yiyuan rarely meets Wang Peter, so he doesn't know why Wang Peter comes here at this moment, and there is some confusion on his face.
"Hello, Uncle Huang." Wang Peter spoke authentic Chinese and greeted him with a smile.
"Boss Wang, are you here... because of the competition two days ago?" Huang Yiyuan said with a somewhat unpleasant expression, thinking that Wang Peter came here to blame him.
But Wang Peter smiled and said, "Uncle Huang, you misunderstood. I did come here because of the competition two days ago, but this time I didn't come to blame Uncle Huang. Instead, I have something to give to you, Uncle Huang."
"Things?" Huang Yiyuan was stunned.
Wang Peter waved to a man in a suit behind him, and the man immediately brought over a very quaint-looking box and handed it to Huang Yiyuan.
Huang Yiyuan curiously put the box on the table next to him and opened it.
At this time, Jim also came out with a puzzled look on his face and looked into the box together.
Then Huang Yiyuan and Jim exclaimed at the same time.
There was a black kitchen knife in the box.
There was a withered yellow booklet on top of the kitchen knife.
"This is..." Huang Yiyuan looked at Wang Peter inquiringly.
"The name of this knife is Huawei. It was made by a kitchen knife master named Zhang when my father was in China. It is said that the kitchen knife forging skills of Master Zhang had reached the pinnacle at that time. He has three most proud works in total. This Huawei ranks second among the three works, second only to the first one, Zhanxiang."
After a pause, Wang Peter continued, "That booklet contains some recipes that my father saved. I know you guys want to compete with Wangfu Noodle House in noodles, and this booklet happens to have a famous noodle recipe."
Huang Yiyuan exchanged glances with Jim. There was some surprise in their eyes, but more of confusion.
Jim asked, "Boss Wang, since you have these things in your hands, why didn't you take them out earlier?"
"My father told me to do this." Wang Peter smiled, looked at Sheng Defu, and then continued, "Before my father passed away, he told me that this knife and these recipes should be handed over to Master Huang at the right time."
"What's the right time?"
"When the fallen leaves return to their roots." (~^~)
