Chapter 161 Hot and Sour Noodles

"Ahem~" The young man cleared his throat and said, "Since you didn't come to compete with my grandpa, then forget it, you can go."

"I want to meet Mr. Wen, may I ask?" Jiang Yang said, he was a little unwilling to leave like this.

The young man's eyes dimmed and he said, "My grandfather is sick and in the hospital. I'm afraid I can't promise you."

When Jiang Yang heard the words, he suddenly realized, no wonder the young man didn't let him see his grandfather.

"Excuse me, please send me a greeting to Mr. Wen, and wish him a speedy recovery!" Jiang Yang said.

The young man nodded, not sure if he listened.Jiang Yang didn't care, he was a little disappointed that his trip didn't achieve his goal.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the young man suddenly stopped Jiang Yang and said, "Wait!"

Jiang Yang turned his head to look at him suspiciously and said, "What?"

"Do you want to eat Shancheng noodles?" the young man asked.

Jiang Yang was stunned, why did he suddenly ask this question?

Seeing Jiang Yang's puzzled expression, the young man immediately explained: "I saw you eating small noodles yesterday, and I think you are still very interested in small noodles."

Jiang Yang nodded and said, "I'm really interested, but I ate it yesterday."

"What are the small noodles of that family? It's just a foreigner. You have tasted my small noodles before you know what the authentic mountain city small noodles are!" said the young man.

Jiang Yang looked at him in surprise, is this young man so confident?Is it big talk or really capable?Jiang Yang was suddenly curious, and said, "Okay, then I'll try it!"

The young man looked happy, and said: "You wait!" Then he went to the kitchen!

Jiang Yang sat casually, and after a while, the young man came out with a serving of small noodles.

"Please taste!"

Jiang Yang picked up his chopsticks. Judging from the aroma of the noodles, it was indeed better than yesterday's noodles!Jiang Yang put a piece into his mouth and tasted it carefully!
Ok?Jiang Yang's eyes moved, this kind of taste... smooth and springy, the taste of the noodles itself is much better than the previous one!

"Is it delicious?" The young man looked at Jiang Yang expectantly.

"Delicious!" Jiang Yang said, it was indeed better than the one he ate yesterday.

"Really? That's great!" Hearing Jiang Yang say this, the young man almost jumped up in excitement.

Jiang Yang was very puzzled, why did this young man behave like this when he heard that it was delicious?Even if you are happy, you can't exaggerate like this, right?
"Then use it slowly!" said the young man.

Jiang Yang nodded and said, "Yes."

The young man turned around and sat down on a distant table.Jiang Yang ate very slowly, and after a while, some customers came to the store one after another.

These guests spoke Shancheng dialect, so they seemed to be locals, and they were quite familiar with this old Wen's grandson.

The young man started to get busy, everyone would ask if it was delicious?Every time he gets an affirmative answer, he will be happy for a while, but when he hears a perfunctory answer, he will be depressed again.

Jiang Yang paid the money and was about to leave the store. He was a little disappointed that he didn't see Mr. Wen, and he didn't achieve his goal.

But there is no way, no one can predict the illness.

"Hello, my name is Wen Tongming." The young man said suddenly.

Jiang Yang turned back and said, "My name is Jiang Yang!"

After speaking, Jiang Yang left.Behind him, Wen Tongming murmured, "Jiang... Yang? I remember you."

Jiang Yang, who left the shop, suddenly felt a little bored, and his motivation to stay in the mountain city was gone.

It's not that Wen Jinping is the only chef master in the mountain city. The mountain city is so big, and the chef masters in it are no less than Rongcheng.It's just that the city of Rongcheng is a province, but there is only one city in the mountain city.

It's just that Mr. Wen has a good temper and is willing to give advice to younger generations. Generally, he is not stingy with giving advice to those who are studying.But other masters are different, not every local chef association has a president like Lin Yong.

President Lin pointed out when he sent the recommendation letter to Jiang Yang before that not every master is willing to guide others, it all depends on his own chance.

The mountain city, for sure, is Old Wen.For the rest of the masters, it is good to have one who is willing to guide.

That's why Jiang Yang felt that it was boring to stay in the mountain city, and he wanted to leave.

There was a reason why Jiang Yang didn't leave immediately, because there was about to be a cooking exchange competition in Shancheng, and the reason why he chose Shancheng as the first stop was also due to this consideration.

However, this culinary exchange competition has little to do with him. Only chefs from the mountain city can participate in this competition.Jiang Yang is not a chef in a mountain city, so naturally he cannot participate.

However, he heard that many famous chefs could show off their culinary skills in this competition, so he thought of stopping by to see and learn more.

There are still a few days left in the competition, and Jiang Yang is not in a hurry. Taking advantage of these few days, he decided to try his luck. Maybe some masters are willing to give him advice?
Back at the hotel, Jiang Yang took out the list and began to study it.

For a long time... He put down the list with some headaches, but as expected... nothing was gained.

You still have to actually understand it before you know it, otherwise, no matter how much you study here, it’s just empty talk.After thinking about it, Jiang Yang put down the list and continued to go out to find delicious food.

As night fell, Jiang Yang walked slowly along the street, dismissing the food stalls on both sides.He is going to find a delicacy in his mind - hot and sour noodles!

Hot and sour noodles are a widely spread delicacy in Sichuan Province, which is a traditional snack.Its characteristics are sour, spicy, fragrant and oily but not greasy.

The vermicelli of hot and sour noodles is sweet potato flour. This kind of vermicelli is very tough, and it is difficult to bite off even after being boiled.Therefore, the taste of hot and sour powder is very special, and the sweet potato powder is smooth and chewy.After the entrance, the cheeks are chewed until they are a little sour, and then swallowed. All the flavors in the vermicelli are tasted carefully, and people can't help but want to take a second bite.

Such a delicious snack is naturally not unique to the Shancheng family. For example, Rongcheng also has this snack.It's just that the food culture and tastes of each place are different, so even the same snack has different tastes.

Just like foreign Chinese restaurants and domestic western restaurants, they are actually different from the local taste, and they have become more catering to the local taste.

So Jiang Yang really wanted to taste the difference between Shancheng's hot and sour noodles and Rongcheng's hot and sour noodles.

After searching for a long time, Jiang Yang was attracted by a smell. This sour smell...is undoubtedly hot and sour powder!

Following this tempting smell, Jiang Yang searched all the way.

This is a stall owned by a pair of beauties, and the only thing they sell is hot and sour noodles.Nothing else is for sale.

Jiang Yang looked at the guests here, most of them were young men. It seems that the attractiveness of beautiful women is much greater than that of delicious food!

Jiang Yang is naturally not so superficial, he didn't come here because of the beauty, but because of the smell.

After queuing up, after a while, Jiang Yang bought a hot and sour powder!

Tasted it, it was sour, spicy and fragrant!The taste is good, and the vermicelli is also cooked very tasty.

Soon Jiang Yang finished the hot and sour noodles and breathed a sigh of relief.

The hot and sour noodles in Shancheng are really different from those in Rongcheng. It can be said that the hot and sour taste in Shancheng is stronger.

Compared with the pure and spicy Maoxuewang in the past, today's hot and sour taste is more in line with Jiang Yang's taste.The sour taste blends with the spicy taste, and the overall taste is softer.

After Meimei had a meal, Jiang Yang paced back to the hotel, and fell asleep after daily practice.
