Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 664-Seafood noodles, animation shines into reality!

Everyone knows the rule here at Wang Fan's place, which is that as long as you point out what's wrong with his food, you can get a free meal.

But since he came out of the circle, his golden body has never been broken.

This is a very magical thing. Everyone has their own preferences. There is no food that everyone likes, and no taste that suits everyone. But what makes everyone rack their brains and can't figure it out is that he just did it.

And as his cooking skills became more sophisticated, the golden body seemed to become thicker and thicker.

Di Renjie really wanted to try if he could be the first person to break the golden body.

There was basically no place to stand in Wang Fan's shop, let alone sit down to eat, but this did not pose a problem for Di Renjie at all. If conditions did not permit, he could just create them himself. If there were no tables and chairs in the shop, couldn't he just bring his own?
The assistant had already set up simple tables and chairs in the open space outside the store, waiting for him to bring the food over, but he had to wait a little longer because Wang Fan was not in a hurry to cook the noodles after making them.

Di Renjie watched curiously as Wang Fan set up a pot, added some lard to the pot, and then put in some sliced ​​pork belly. He had never seen this step before.

The pork belly quickly turned from red to white, and gradually began to char. When the onions, ginger and garlic were put into the pot, the rich aroma began to spread unrestrainedly.

After stir-frying the abalone for about a minute, Wang Fan put the squid and clams into the pot, poured a small spoonful of rice wine along the edge of the pot, and then put the noodles into the boiling water pot before starting to season them.

The seasoning seemed extremely simple to Di Renjie. There was only a small spoonful of salt and a spoonful of shacha sauce. Then he scooped out a few spoonfuls of milky soup base from the big pot and poured it into the pot.

Seeing this, Di Renjie's Adam's apple began to slide uncontrollably, and his originally dry mouth began to become moist.

So warm!
Looking at this milky white soup base, I really feel like the warm spring sun is shining on my body. I can already feel the warm and delicious taste before I even eat it.

The noodles were cooked quickly, and then Di Renjie saw a bowl of noodles as big as his head placed on the counter.

A large colander was extended into the noodle cooking bucket, and a full colander of noodles was scooped out.

"Dong dong..."

Tap the colander lightly on the edge of the pot a few times to remove excess water clinging to the noodles. When you put them into a large bowl, it will just take up half of the space in the bowl.

This portion of noodles must weigh at least 1 kilogram!
Di Renjie estimated the texture and size of the dish, and it looked like a portion that he could not finish by himself.

And it’s obvious that this is soup noodles. If you eat the toppings and drink the soup at the same time, this bowl must weigh more than two kilograms, right?

His guess was correct, Wang Fan's portion was this big!

He felt that it was too unprofitable to make money from a regular bowl of noodles, so he came up with this method of proportional expansion.

The cost of such a portion can be as high as 100 yuan, so you will feel more at ease if you make money from it.

The noodles were poured into the bowl, and the toppings were poured into the bowl immediately afterwards. The milky white soup base and the milky white noodles with distinct strands were a pleasing combination. Add to that the off-white abalone, clam squid rolls, and the thin pork belly that had returned to white...

Well, I always feel like something is missing.

Di Renjie rubbed his chin, and his occupational disease began to flare up.

The colors in the bowl now are too monotonous. If you can add shrimps when cooking and add chopped green onions after taking it out of the pot, the combination of green and red will definitely add a lot of color to this bowl of noodles.

When he thought of this, before he could remind him, he saw Wang Fan had already taken out 6 palm-sized, red shrimps from another small basin and put them in the bowl, and then sprinkled a handful of green chopped green onions into the bowl.

The finished product was exactly as he had expected!
But why are the shrimps taken out of another pot instead of being cooked directly in the pot? Isn't that redundant?

He naturally wouldn't answer unless he asked Wang Fan. He wanted to find the answer himself. The process of unraveling the essence of delicious food was also very fascinating.

When Di Renjie came out with the bowl, he saw that there were already many people outside the store who had brought their own tables and chairs to eat noodles. From the "slurping" sound of the noodles and the smiles on their faces, it was not difficult to tell that this seafood noodle must have made them extremely satisfied.

There was a row of luxury cars parked on the roadside not far away. The doors of the luxury cars were open, and the owners were sitting on their buttocks with their legs on the outside. The overall look was very incongruous.

Luxury cars are everywhere in Shanghai. Di Renjie is not surprised. He walks quickly to his table and chair, eager to enjoy his delicious food.

However, as a qualified live streamer, the first bite must of course be given to the fans in the live broadcast room.

The camera zoomed in, revealing the milky white soup base, the glossy and moist noodles, and the seafood toppings that took up more than half the bowl. The six rosy and attractive black tiger prawns were particularly conspicuous.

I don’t know how many viewers in front of the camera couldn’t help but swallow their saliva. This temptation from the depths of the soul is simply beyond the human will to resist.

"Wow, Boss Wang, can one person finish this portion of noodles? I feel like I can eat at least four meals of it."

"No comparison, no harm. The 588 RMB bowl at the Sakura Ramen restaurant next door is small, with less noodles and sea urchin. It's a complete failure in value for money."

"But Old Ding still really approves of the taste of their food, especially the sea urchin cold noodles. He praised it from beginning to end. I guess he's quite skilled enough to be called the Ramen Sage."

"Compared to that bland soup, I still prefer the color of Boss Wang's bowl of noodles. It looks very fresh and delicious."

"I'm curious why the shrimp aren't cooked together. Is there some special reason for this?"

Di Renjie was also very curious about the shrimp, so he started to deal with the shrimp without even drinking the soup.

Each shrimp is an attractive orange-red color, and the shrimp shell has a warm luster.

Pick up one and squeeze it gently in your hand. The shrimp shell and the shrimp meat fit together very well without any hollows. Put it to your nose and smell it, and a rich and pure freshness will hit your nose, going straight into your heart, making your taste buds start to secrete saliva in an instant.

"This shrimp is definitely live. It tastes very fresh and has a chewy texture. It's definitely not frozen."

After saying that, he pointed the shrimp tail towards the camera and continued, "Look at this blooming shrimp tail. This is a state unique to live shrimps. Frozen shrimps basically won't be in this state." Di Renjie peeled off the third section of the shrimp skin towards the shrimp head, then pinched the shrimp tail and gently pulled it, and a complete shrimp tail shell was pulled off.

Even if the shrimp tail shell has been pulled off, it does not affect the redness of the shrimp body at all. Then, grab the shrimp head and pull it, and the shrimp head and the remaining shrimp shell will be completely separated from the shrimp meat, revealing the white, tender, moist and plump shrimp meat.

"Oh my! This shrimp is special! I think I know why they separated them. The shrimp must be cooked thoroughly. This is a very experienced blanching method. The reason why Boss Wang didn't cook them together is probably because he was afraid that the high temperature would cook out the protein in the shrimp. If that's the case, I think these shrimp will be very delicious."

Di Renjie is an expert. Although blanched shrimps may sound simple, those cooked in hot water and those boiled in boiling water are completely different things.

Open your mouth and gently put the peeled shrimp meat into your mouth, and a rich and delicious flavor will fill your taste buds.

A gentle bite and the wonderful taste instantly blooms on the tip of the tongue. It is chewy, smooth, and sweet, but not too firm or hard.

As he chewed, the shrimp's natural sweetness permeated his mouth, each fiber saturated with the ultimate sweet juice. The taste was pure and mellow, without any seasoning, yet it fully displayed the authentic freshness of the ingredients. Di Renjie chewed faster and faster, one bite after another, unable to stop.

He felt as if all his taste buds were immersed in this simple yet ultimate feast of taste. Through this small boiled shrimp, he even felt a hint of the endless gentleness of the sea...

"Hiss... Look at Lao Di's expression. He's burning with fever."

"Isn't it just a shrimp? Why does he have such an expression? It's like he's eating some kind of delicacy."

"Hehehe, you don't understand? I've eaten this shrimp before! I made it at the boss's wife's seafood farm last year. I'm not exaggerating about the taste. Anyone who eats it will be confused. The moment the shrimp meat enters your mouth, you can feel all the essence of it in that one bite. It's delicious and sweet, just like the sea hitting your taste buds."

"Oh my god, is the person above a crazy fan? Even if it tastes delicious, it's just an ordinary shrimp. There's no need to praise it like that, right?"

"Bragging? I ate it too. Can you believe I haven't eaten boiled shrimp since then? I'll never forget the taste. I doubt the shrimp knew they could be so delicious."

"I'm not exaggerating, I've tried it myself, and it's truly amazing!"

The audience in the live broadcast room quickly split into two camps. Those who had eaten it defended it desperately, while those who had not eaten it all had one opinion: no matter how good the technology is, it cannot change the fact that ordinary shrimps are just ordinary shrimps, and there is a limit to how delicious they can be.

Just as the argument was getting heated, Di Renjie finally came to his senses. After a sigh, he finally said, "Fuck! This boiled shrimp almost made my eyebrows fall off."

Di Renjie has undergone professional training and basically does not swear, whether it is live or recorded, unless he can't help it.

"I've traveled extensively for so many years and have tasted almost all kinds of delicious food. This shrimp is just an ordinary black tiger shrimp. Even if it's alive, it only costs about 100 yuan per pound. But you can't resist the fact that the essence of the shrimp is locked up in the shrimp meat.

The shrimp seasoning is very simple, just a little salt and at most a little sugar, but this simple seasoning just highlights the shrimp's deliciousness to the extreme. It's delicious, it's really delicious! "

As soon as Di Renjie said this, the debate between the two groups of netizens came to an end.

He did not interact too much with netizens because he knew that the boiled shrimp was not the essence of the whole bowl of seafood noodles. It was more like a key that completely unlocked his taste buds and aroused his curiosity about this seafood noodles.

If such delicious shrimps are just supporting roles, how delicious must the main characters be?
He took out a spoon but didn't eat the noodles. Instead, he scooped a spoonful of milky soup base.

When you put it under your nose and smell it, the rich seafood aroma will rush into your nasal cavity.

Moreover, although the fragrance is strong, it does not make people feel choked. Instead, it has a scent of the warm sun after autumn, which makes all taste buds feel refreshed.

"Suck it..."

Put your lips to the edge of the spoon and take a light sip. With a slight sound, the warm soup will flow into your mouth.

Having worked as a chef for many years and also as a food blogger for many years, Di Renjie knows that all the reactions of diners in anime are fake and will never happen in the real world.

There was a sudden flash of lightning in the mind, or being speechless with shock, or clothes bursting while eating and only underwear was left. This is nonsense and it is impossible to happen.

But today, this outrageous thing happened to me!
Of course, it is impossible to make clothes burst. In China, such uncivilized behavior will result in a five-day detention center, but things like electric shock in the brain are not a problem.

Not to mention any exaggeration, he really felt a flash of lightning passing through his mind, and instantly penetrated the iron wall of his taste buds.

Stunning!

Obviously, it was just simple abalone, clams, black tiger prawns, squid and pork belly, and they were all very affordable ingredients of good quality, but the pot of seafood broth made from these things really made his brain crash the moment he took a sip!
The unique flavors of various ingredients are blended together in perfect proportions and cooked at the right time, ultimately transforming into a gourmet show that amazes the taste buds.

Di Renjie is always talkative during live broadcasts. He will give a detailed review of every dish he eats, and even the boiled shrimp just now is no exception.

But he didn't do that now. He just put the delicious seafood soup into his mouth spoon by spoon and shoveled the noodles into his mouth with chopsticks.

His taste buds kept analyzing the taste of this bowl of seafood noodles.

The chive noodles are as slender and well-proportioned as chive leaves. When you put them in your mouth and bite them lightly, you will find that the noodles have just the right toughness, slightly resisting the strength of your teeth, and have a firm and chewy touch.

But then, it breaks off very obediently, releasing the soft and delicate taste inside.

Every time you chew it, you can feel the unique layering of the noodles, the chewy outer layer and the soft and glutinous inner layer, a wonderful fusion of the two tastes.

As you chew, the wheat aroma of the flour slowly emanates and blends into the delicious seafood soup base, adding a touch of variety to the already delicious taste.

Di Renjie kept slurping the noodles while his brain was working frantically. He was trying to think of the most appropriate word to describe this bowl of seafood noodles.

Delicious, rich, sweet, all seem to be able to be described, but it always feels like something is missing and there is no way to describe it perfectly.

The rich, savory flavor permeates your mouth, sending your taste buds into a frenzy. The unique chewy yet soft and delicate texture of chive ramen makes your teeth dance with joy. The broth, wrapped around the noodles, slides down your throat, leaving a hint of warmth and a lingering aftertaste.
