I have a restaurant in Dong Ying

Chapter 15 Udon in Gunshan (please recommend, collect, reward!)
Hearing his name, his eyes tightened, but Kamado Tanjirou soon came back to his senses.

Since he could really come to a completely strange place from the river, then the idea in his mind is real, it is a mighty force beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

It should be a matter of course that the shopkeepers here know his name.

'Just why a restaurant? '

A little disappointed, he quickly cheered up. Although he was young, he never thought of relying on other people for everything. Even if such a magical place is just a place to eat, that's not bad.

'I just don't know, can you let Nezuko eat the dishes in such a place? '

Thinking of his younger sister who has turned into a ghost, Tanjirou felt a little sad again.

In his world, there is a kind of alien called ghosts, which feed on humans, are afraid of the sun, and run rampant at night.

And Tanjiro's family met the ancestor of the oni, the source of all tragedies, "Onimai Tsujimumi"!
Perhaps it was because Tanjiro's family had some connection with the ancestor of Oni, Onimai Tsuji traveled thousands of miles and directly slaughtered their family. Only Tanjiro escaped without returning home.

What is even more hateful is that the ancestor of the ghost turned his sister Nezuko into a 'ghost'.

A ghost that feeds on human flesh and blood!
If it wasn't for Nezuko's willpower to suppress his appetite, Tanjiro might have been killed when he returned home. Even so, in order to solve this shortcoming in physiological structure, Nezuko fell into an endless lethargy.

Because I don't want to eat people, but if I don't eat people, I will starve, or even starve to death.

She can only use deep sleep to resist the endless hunger.

These are also the news that Tanjiro learned from his master, but he doesn't know how far their brothers and sisters, a person, a ghost, such completely different existences will go in the future.

At this moment, there seems to be a solution to the problem that was already unsolvable.

This magical restaurant may be able to solve this problem.

"I"

Looking at the menu composed of words that seemed a little strange but completely understandable, Tanjiro didn't know how to order.

The already tired body also experienced several emotional fluctuations for a while, and it was a little wobbly.

"Can I have a bowl of udon noodles?"

“Udon from the mountains!”

It seems to recall something, the father in poor health, the gentle mother, and the younger brothers and sisters.

At that time, when it comes to this season, there will be simple but full-bodied hot udon noodles at home.

My mother always said with a smile, this is a gift from the mountains, the udon noodles of the mountains.

At this moment, the hot tears that hadn't flowed for a long time fell, and Tanjiro finally got an emotional release. The grief, fear, and helplessness buried in his heart were finally displayed in front of others.

"."

Looking at Tanjiro who was already crying with snot, Zhao Fuyu, who knew what he had gone through, did not step forward to stop him, but took out flour and a few ingredients to prepare the dishes. He is the manager and even the chef.

When the guests release their emotions, there is no need to disturb them. Finally, paper towels and ice water are served, and then the food is served. This is the best comfort.

For the rest, let the diners digest it by themselves.

'How about udon noodles in Gunsan? '

In fact, Dongying’s udon noodles are inherited from Zhongzhou’s hand-rolled noodles, but the method has changed, and the taste has become more elastic. It requires a stronger chewiness and a stronger aroma of flour.

Coupled with the changes in the techniques accumulated over time, the two have become similar in appearance but quite different in taste.

But according to Tanjiro, the udon noodles in these mountains obviously have more than just changes in the noodles.

Recalling Tanjiro's description of his home in the anime for a while, Zhao Fuyu combined some of his own thoughts and started to act.

First of all, it is natural to make udon noodles. This step has actually been done many times. Knead the dough. The water content is not high, but the dough with strong gluten is wrapped in a plastic bag, and then turned upside down. , for up to half an hour of patting, squeezing and kneading similar to patting handstand walking.

This step is to make the dough achieve better elasticity and texture, and also to make the dough firmer and smoother.

In fact, in many places in Dongying, the method of directly stepping on it is used.

But Zhao Fuyu felt that it would not look good to diners, so he chose a similar method of walking upside down, rolling the dough continuously, and after more than a dozen experiments, he also achieved the effect that can only be achieved by stepping on it. And so it continued.

Therefore, many drinkers like to have a bowl of udon noodles in the commercial street when they are about to finish.

This is also the reason why 'Yezhonghuo' closes until 03:30 in the morning, and there will still be guests coming at one or two o'clock.

You know, Yezhonghuo does not sell alcohol, and of course he never stops customers from bringing their own. Maybe he has won the love of so many drinkers, so you know Zhao Fuyu put his heart and soul into it.

After the dough was made, the sobbing Tanjiro finally calmed down, looking at Zhao Fuyu who easily flipped back upside down, his expression became more serious.

With this kind of arm strength, he can't do it even after half an hour of continuous exertion and rubbing.

Not to mention that Zhao Fuyu didn't have any sweat on his face, obviously this kind of action was just a drizzle to him.

But for Zhao Fuyu who has already done it, the dough of this udon noodle dish is a trivial matter, and the soup is a major matter!

Zaomen Tanjiro, you can tell just by the name, Zaomen means the family that sells charcoal exclusively in Dongying.

This family lives in the mountains and mines coal, and makes charcoal as a business. The things Tanjiro's mother cooks certainly don't have too many fancy places.

On the contrary, it is this taste that is the biggest difficulty. Everyone always adds many other things to the taste of home unconsciously.

It can be said that for any cook, it is a difficult test to complete such a unique family taste.

Fortunately, Zhao Fuyu at least knew about Tanjiro's life, so he was not considered a headless chicken, so he quickly selected the ingredients that should be available, and started to work.

Dried bonito flakes, kelp washed in warm water, and then the two together with sugar, sake, soy sauce, boil a most common udon noodle soup, also called 'juice'.

After the bonito flakes and kombu have been boiled for more than ten minutes, they should be taken out, otherwise they will be astringent or even fishy after cooking for a long time.

Then add shiitake mushrooms, tricholoma mushrooms, and the most important maitake mushrooms for a simple stew.

Finally, add fried tofu.

It can be said that the soup of this udon noodle has been declared complete.

It's not complicated, it can even be said to be extremely simple, but Zhao Fuyu doesn't dare to be careless when cooking.

For fungi such as shiitake mushrooms, use a bamboo knife to scrape off the black spots of the soil little by little, then wipe the dust and dirt with a wet kitchen paper, and tear them into pieces by hand and put them into the soup.

After the fried tofu is fried, it must be put into boiling water immediately to cook until the oil and gas are dissipated before it can be added to the soup.

The soup obtained in this way is pure, without any fishy smell of oil, and even the noodle soup does not have the slightest bit of oil, showing an extremely pure and mellow mountain taste.

It can be said that Tanjirou's eyes already showed eagerness just by the smell of the soup.

Because the taste is almost [-]% similar to his mother's cooking.

That's what he's been dreaming about! !

'Mother, Takeo, Shigeru, Rokuta, Hanako, and Nezuko.'

'I will avenge you and protect Nezuko! ! '
