I have been to Hangzhou Ancient City several times, but every time I came and went in a hurry, I really didn't appreciate the city carefully.
Mu Mu is much better than him. Mu Mu has not even visited Hangzhou as many times as Gu Zheng, but she is a senior foodie and the editor-in-chief of Food Channel. With her contacts, it is not difficult to inquire about these news, so she knows more delicious places than Gu Zheng.
Xiaosong Noodle House is what she found out by chance. The name of Xiaosong Noodle House sounds very ordinary, but the shop is very big. There are six street-facing shops on the first floor, and all of them on the second and third floors. dishes.
The location of Komatsu Noodle House is not good, it is far away from the West Lake, Mu Mu and Gu Zheng arrived here at 5:00 pm, at this time, two-thirds of the people were already seated in the hall, according to this posture, by night Must be full.
"Here, this is it. The last time I ate their noodles was three months ago. I miss it so much!"
Standing at the door of the antique noodle shop, Mu Mu said with a sense of emotion that the noodles here are really good, not very tasty, and she will not miss them for so long. She also wrote an article praising the noodle shop at the beginning.
The two of them found a small table in the hall and sat down. Mu Mu ordered a bowl of egg noodles, and Gu Zheng ordered a bowl of the simplest green onion noodles.
Noodles don’t need to be too fancy. Really good noodles are often very simple and require beef, mutton or pork ribs to moisten the taste. That’s not real noodles. That kind of noodles often use meat flavor to attract people. .
After ordering two bowls of noodles, Mumu ordered two special side dishes. The side dishes were faster than the noodles, and the two of them ate while waiting.
The taste of Xiaocai is very ordinary, the ingredients are either garbage or low-grade, and they are all cold dishes, or the kind of big pot dishes that are prepared a lot at a time. Gu Zheng only ate a few chopsticks and then put it down. This kind of food is no longer attractive to him. Any attention, eat these, might as well go back and do it yourself.
Even if it is 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, and he wants to make it with noodles, saying that this time he must win the prize!"
"Master Wang will definitely win the prize this time if he uses Tianmian, and he will definitely win the first place!"
"That's right, Master Wang said that he didn't want to participate at first. He saw that so many talents from other places signed up for the competition. He said that the competition held in our Hangzhou city should not let outsiders take the first place. Master Wang signed up." After that, we will be sent directly to the fourth round of the preliminaries!"
"That's right, there is so much publicity in this competition, and there is such a high prize money, it is absolutely impossible for outsiders to snatch the first place!"
Not far from the two of them, two shop assistants were talking quietly there in their free time, their voices were not loud, at least Mumu didn't hear what they said.
After Gu Zheng's Tie Xian Xian Jue entered the second realm, coupled with the changes in his physique, now both hearing and other five senses have greatly improved. If Mu Mu didn't hear clearly, Gu Zheng heard everything.
According to what the two said, it should be that a chef of this restaurant also signed up for this food competition, and he was still recommended. These two guys have great confidence in their chef.
More than 5,000 people signed up for the competition. It's not a big deal to meet the same contestants in Hangzhou, but I didn't expect such a coincidence that the first place to eat was actually there.
"Both, here are the noodles, egg noodles, scallion noodles!"
Just as they were thinking, a waiter brought over the two bowls of noodles they ordered. Gu Zheng looked at his chopped green onion noodles. It was a small delicate celadon bowl. There were not many noodles in the bowl, and there were a few slices of chopped green onion floating on the white noodle soup. Has a light fragrance.
"I ate first!"
Mumu was not polite to Gu Zheng, and after saying a few words, he began to scoop up the noodles and cool them down, and ate them happily. Gu Zheng also picked up his chopsticks, picked up a noodle, blew on it, and put it in his mouth.
"Noodles, inferior ingredients!"
After taking only one bite, Gu Zheng's eyes flashed surprise, the noodles turned out to be inferior ingredients, the same grade as the rice cakes he had eaten.
Inferior ingredients are not easy. Gu Zheng has a good understanding of ingredients now. If an ingredient wants to be inferior, the requirements are strict. The planting process must be pure natural without any chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
Nowadays, no matter whether it is wheat or rice, it is almost necessary to put something in the planting process. If you don’t let it grow, you will not be able to grow, and it is possible that the harvest will not be harvested due to insect damage.
Especially wheat, all kinds of pests and diseases of wheat itself, if nothing is added when planting, the yield will be pitifully low, and things like nothing in an acre of land may happen.
"It's an inferior ingredient, no wonder!"
Gu Zheng silently nodded, no wonder Mumu admired this place so much, the grade of the main ingredients and ingredients here is inferior, the water used is also inferior, the grade of green onion and ingredients are also inferior, the main ingredients are inferior , other materials are low-level, coupled with their own cooking skills, and finally formed this taste.
No wonder the two guys are so confident. Their noodles are really good. If they go to the competition, Gu Zheng doesn't know if he can make it to the finals, but it's no problem to get a good result in the preliminary round.
"Here comes the noodles, lucky customer, please enjoy slowly!"
A clerk came over with a bowl of noodles and put the noodles on the other side of a table of guests. Many people eating in the noodle restaurant turned their heads and looked enviously at the guests who had this bowl of noodles.
"The sky?"
Gu Zheng's heart moved slightly. He heard the two guys mention this name just now, but he didn't pay attention at that time.
"Tianmian, you are so lucky to get Tianmian. Those who eat in the private room upstairs will be depressed this time!"
Mu Mu also said enviously, looking at Gu Zheng with doubts on his face, he took the initiative to explain to Gu Zheng.
Tianmian is the real signature of Komatsu Noodle House, and it is the most delicious of all noodles. However, the Tianmian of Komatsu Noodle House is not for sale. People who eat here every day can draw a lottery, and those who win the draw will get a bowl of Tiannian for free .
The qualifications for the lottery are very simple. You can draw a prize once you order a noodle. There are often people who want to win the noodle and order dozens of bowls of noodles in a row. Because of the serious waste, the noodle shop changed the rules later. Draw three prizes, and no matter how many noodles you order after that, you will not be drawn.
There are many people who want to eat Tianmen, and someone quickly came up with a countermeasure for the noodle restaurant's request.
Many people invite friends to dinner, and then each order three portions of noodles. If they win the Tianmian, they are entitled to it. As a result, many rich people later took people to private rooms to eat, and the table was full of noodles.
Komatsu Noodle House doesn’t have a lot of noodles, three bowls per person can still be eaten, so it won’t cause waste, and it also allows others to have many lucky draw opportunities. The food sharing idea that others came up with is a bit similar. The noodle shop does not limit the purchase of noodles, but limits the number of lucky draws. In the end, others also pull people to join in.
"Are the noodles so delicious?"
Gu Zheng couldn't help asking, there is only one copy of noodles every day, and so many people are trying to extract it, which makes Gu Zheng curious.
"I haven't tried it either. This restaurant is different from other restaurants. People don't care if you help promote it. Even if I show my identity, I won't give me a piece of Tianmian for nothing. But I heard people say that Tiannian is more ordinary than this. The noodles are much more delicious, and you will know what real noodles are after eating the noodles!"
Mu Mu shook her head, she wanted to eat Tian Noodles a long time ago, but it is a pity that Tian Noodles are harder than Gu Zheng's fried eggs, there is only one serving a day, so many people smoke, she has never won it, this is also her regret.
