Chapter 36 [Judges from the provincial capital]
At a quarter of noon, dozens of gongs rang together, causing the birds perched on several cliffs to fly away, and the long table banquet officially began.
Large pots of roasted beef and sheep heads, beef and mutton... that had been prepared long ago were steamingly delivered to the dining tables of each village group; the noodle table also began to get busy, with balls of oily noodles on the table.
In the hands of the ramen master, the noodles turned into thick or thin ramen noodles as if by magic; the thick ones were like the fashion belts used by girls to tie their waists, and the thin ones were really not much thicker than a hair. Bowls of noodles were brought to the table.
Pass it to the back.
This scene is extremely spectacular, with thousands of tables and seven or eight thousand people, but there is no rush at all. Bowls of hot noodle soup are passed from the inner circle to the outer circle, and then from the outer circle to the outside of the valley, as if it is an army movement, such as
Using his arms and pointing his fingers; and then thinking about the legend about Liu Xiu, even if he is as delicate and pretty as a "flower", he can faintly feel the flavor of a warrior and an iron horse. As men, the three Zhou Yi brothers are even more excited.
Along with the appetite...
Because the custom of noodle banquets has been preserved for a long time, there are many ramen chefs in the four villages. They usually go to the city to work and make money, but today they all came back. Dozens of chefs started working at the same time, and dozens of big pots boiled at the same time, which is half
Within a few hours, a steaming bowl of beef and mutton ramen with fragrant aroma was placed in front of seven or eight thousand people.
The noodles are slightly wheat-yellow, soaked in milk-like beef and mutton soup, topped with a spoonful of chili oil boiled with mutton oil, and sprinkled with a handful of coriander. The taste is...
Zhou Yi, a tricky guy, couldn't help but lick his tongue.
"Dangdangdang..."
As the gong rang again, seven or eight thousand people took their chopsticks at the same time. Suddenly, the sound of eating noodles resounded inside and outside the valley. It even resonated, causing echoes in the valley and shaking the soil on the cliffs on three sides.
They are all a little loose.
Thousands of people swallowing noodles together can actually shake the world, so majestic!
In this kind of atmosphere, you are too embarrassed to eat noodles slowly. No matter if you are a big girl or a daughter-in-law, it doesn’t matter whether you are a tough guy like Zhu Xiaohua or a lady like Hua Hua. Everyone is eating noodles in big mouths.
Eat soup until beads of sweat roll out of your forehead and your chest and back are soaked. Only then can you consider eating to the point where you have reached the realm of taste.
"What a pleasure!"
The effect of Zhou Yi's bowl of fish soup was evident at this time. Zhu Xiaohua and Guan Wei had already started to eat the third bowl of noodles, and even 'Hua Hua' actually ordered a second bowl of noodles. Obviously she couldn't eat any more, so she still
She was eating it in small bites with great effort; her belly was obviously about to burst, but she just couldn't let go of this delicious mouthful.
These two men and one woman are three amateur foodies, and they are already on the verge of becoming foodies...
It was not until four quarters past noon that the long table banquet came to an end. The fellow villagers rubbed their bellies and burped with satisfaction, but no one wanted to leave. They were all waiting for the most exciting show to be performed.
Fighting vegetables!
Usually, the vegetable fights in several villages are held in the largest restaurant in Liulilouzi Village after the banquet. The villagers are just waiting for the final news; but this time it is different. The long table banquet has caused a stir in the province.
Note that this time, the largest newspaper in the provincial capital, Zhounan Daily, took the lead and invited several foodies from the province who are said to be very authoritative to be judges, in order to vigorously promote this folk custom.
Otherwise, even if several villages pay twice as much, gourmets from these provincial cities may not be willing to come.
The two wealthy villages of Yunshui Village and Liulilouzi Village would think of inviting a famous chef of Kong Jie's caliber to participate in the competition. It is precisely because this vegetable fight is different from the past. Even the newspapers in the provincial capital have to publicize it. They lost before.
, that is, spending a year in the mountains. If you lose this time, you will be embarrassed in front of the people of the whole province.
Those standing stoves and large soup pots were removed one after another, and were quickly replaced with exquisite stoves and dish tables prepared by each village. All kinds of ingredients were also prepared. Now they are waiting for the expert judges from the provincial capital and the big experts hired by each village.
Enter the kitchen.
Not long after, several vans stopped at the entrance of the valley, and a small group of twenty people got off. Several village chiefs and secretaries immediately greeted them with smiles on their faces.
The chef invited by Yunshui Village did not come this time. Li Yuanfang also had a way to directly greet the judges and said in a deep voice: "Welcome all experts and leaders to come. Oops... Mr. Gu, Mr. Chang,
Mr. Yun, Mr. Yang, please invite me this way, I have prepared the best Yunli tea in Yunshui Mountain."
He did a good job in his homework. The chef rebelled and used his brains on the judges.
"Haha, Secretary Li, don't be polite. We are here to be the judges. In order to stay in the best condition, we didn't even eat your Yunshuishan's famous beef and mutton ramen, and we couldn't drink tea...
..”
A fat old man with silver hair wearing a black Tang suit and blue cloth shoes said with a genuine smile.
"That's right. Mr. Gu is right. Are you trying to win over the judges, Li Yuanfang?"
Zhang Dayuan, the village secretary of Liulilouzi Village, hummed.
"Bah, I'm trying to win over the judges, but you're just poaching, right?"
Li Yuanfang sneered and glanced at Kong Jie, who was standing next to Zhang Dayuan. Kong Jie blushed: "Secretary Li, I'm really sorry this time. According to the sect rules..."
"Okay, I don't blame you, I blame someone with ulterior motives. Who could I invite, but your senior brother?"
"Two secretaries, you won't start a quarrel here and let us all stand and drink the mountain breeze, right?"
Seeing that the enemies Li Yuanfang and Zhang Dayuan were about to fight, a beautiful figure flashed, and the fragrance blew, but a fashionably dressed woman stood between the two of them, laughing softly: "And you two
Doing this also shows insufficient respect for the judges..."
"is her?"
Guan Wei, who had been watching, suddenly laughed and said: "I didn't expect that the leading actress of 'Zhou Nan Daily' is also here. This vegetable fight will be very lively."
"who?"
Zhou Yi's eyes have been fixed on the middle-aged man behind Kong Jie. If nothing unexpected happens, this person should be Kong Jie's senior brother. At this moment, after hearing Guan Wei's words, he turned his eyes to the female reporter.
"Well...she looks pretty good, and she's pretty good at dressing up. Brother, do you know her?"
This female reporter is tall and tall, and her skin is as white as freshly baked tofu. She is wearing a bright red dress, which can really attract the attention of men.
But Zhou Yi didn't like her too much when he saw her laughing and joking, looking good at dancing. This kind of woman was too strong, and she would get into big trouble. She was no better than a delicate and gentle daughter like Liu Xu.
"Her name is Yang Cai, and she is considered a very popular figure in our circle. I heard that her family has a good background, but she is not from a commoner background."
Guan Wei looked at this woman and shook his head: "It is said that her dream was to be a war correspondent, but she has never been able to realize it. Now she is in charge of the food section of Zhou Nan Daily. I heard that this girl is very good at eating. I am definitely here to be a judge this time. Third brother, don’t say I didn’t remind you, you have to be careful, you can’t mess with this girl..."
"I?"
Zhou Yi smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, if you want to remind me, you should also remind Comrade Xiaohua? It's too late for me to hide from this kind of woman, how can I possibly have an intersection with her?"
"That's impossible to say."
Guan Wei glanced at Zhou Yi with a smile: "Although your brother and I don't know much about food, the understanding of food you show by stewing lake fish is beyond the comparison of ordinary chefs. Third brother, I bet that if If she drinks your fish soup, she will definitely get attached to you immediately."
"My brother's eyes are so poisonous..."
Zhou Yi muttered in his heart, glanced at Comrade Xiaohua who was getting tired of Hua Hua, lowered his voice and said: "Don't worry, brother, why don't I avoid this girl? By the way, then Do you know any of the judges? Tell me a little bit about them?"
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you make a sound plan. It is very necessary to understand these judges.
