Chapter 295: 【294】Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 145 (2 Updates)

After all, in their memories, their master had never been this greedy, even when he was at his hungriest, he had always managed to maintain his poise.

But now, it was really like a bride going on a sedan chair for the first time.

The four of them sat at a square table, with the master ordering seafood noodles, one ordered hot dry noodles, another ordered fried bean sauce noodles, and another ordered stew noodles. Finally, they added a dish of stir-fried pork noodles, just to see what made these noodles so delicious that their master had been so eager to come here first thing in the morning.

Soon, the noodles they ordered were served. Since the hot dry noodles and stir-fried noodles were relatively dry, a big bowl of nori egg drop soup was provided along with pickled cabbage and radish as side dishes, neatly presented: "Dear guests, please enjoy your meal, your noodles are ready."

"Who would have thought that although this noodle shop is small, it’s pretty sophisticated. Look at the bowls, chopsticks, and dishes, each bearing their unique logo. The side dishes are served in small plates, and the complimentary soup comes with individual small bowls and spoons; you don’t get this kind of treatment in ordinary noodle shops."

"It’s not just that, I’ve never even heard of this place’s noodles before—hot dry noodles, stew noodles, fried bean sauce noodles, have you guys heard of them? As for these seafood noodles and stir-fried noodles, we have them back home too, nothing special. And this soup, what did they say it’s made of? Seaweed? What kind of vegetable is that?"

...

While the three guards chattered endlessly, no one noticed how excited Yan Qing got when he tasted the first bite. The noodles had the flavor of his memories, and the more he ate, the more he felt they were even tastier than the ones he had on the island. Heaven knows how long he had been back, how often he had been pining for those seafood noodles, and how many chefs he had hired to try to replicate them, but none could match her cooking.

The ingredients looked nearly the same, so why was there such a huge difference? What was wrong?

Indeed, making seafood noodles was pretty much the same everywhere, so why were Xiao Yu’s spicy seafood noodles even more satisfying to eat than the local ones?

One reason was the noodles themselves; on the opening day, they had used natural flour milled from wheat grown in their own space;

Secondly, the sauce—because she didn’t use salt, she had created a special Chili Sauce. This sauce contained oil that was fried with ingredients such as Sichuan peppercorn, scallions, coriander, garlic, sesame, and others to produce a fragrant oil. The flavor was exceptionally pure, and using this infused oil to dress the chilies made for an irresistible taste.

Chili, as an essential condiment for noodles, without it, it was like having no soulmate. The same noodles could taste better and richer with chili than with five-spice.

In anticipation of this meal, Yan Qing hadn’t eaten breakfast and was waiting just for this lunch. A bowl of seafood noodles was soon empty; while the others hadn’t even started, his plate was already clean, and he unceremoniously picked up some stir-fried pork noodles from the table and started eating, nodding as he did so.

"Her cooking skills, you can tell with just one taste!"

The guards finally sensed something was off, "My lord, have you eaten this before?"

Yan Qing didn’t respond to them, indicating they should hurry up and eat. However, he slowed down his own pace; after all, he had hastily devoured a bowl of seafood noodles and now wanted to savor the rest leisurely.

He had already tried nori egg drop soup on the island and didn’t think it was anything special, but since he hadn’t had it in a long time, he served himself a bowl and took a slow sip, only to discover it tasted different. Stirring it with his spoon, he was surprised to find little shrimps in it. This woman really knew how to cook!
