Chapter 1068 Longevity Noodles
"Longevity noodles..." Heath rolled up his sleeves. To be honest, he seldom made this kind of thing. There were very few customers who would order longevity noodles in his dining car. Anyway, Heath had never received any guests for longevity noodles so far. The so-called longevity noodles were actually a bowl of noodles cooked with one noodle. Of course, the noodle could not be broken, and the portion had to be appropriate. Basically, it was important to eat it in one bite. It could not be too little or too much. It was still a bit difficult. However, in Heath's opinion, the biggest difficulty of the so-called longevity noodles was actually making the noodles. After all, the noodles sold on the market were basically small noodles, soup noodles, and occasionally udon noodles and spaghetti, but these noodles did not meet the requirements. What Heath needed was very ordinary noodles, but they had to be very long.
So there is no way to buy it, I can only make it myself. But the good news is that Heath can make it himself. After all, longevity noodles are not a difficult food for Heath. It just takes some time and concentration to make it. Other than that, it is not very troublesome.
"But director, I want to ask, do all the prisoners in the prison want to eat longevity noodles?" Heath thought of something and couldn't help asking. After all, longevity noodles are usually eaten by birthday celebrants, that is, only those who have their birthdays will eat longevity noodles. At other times, everyone eats very ordinary noodles, and eating them on birthdays is just to ask for good luck. Just like people like auspicious words, those who wish others a long life are always more popular than those who start with sarcasm.
So Heath was a little confused as to why everyone in prison had to eat longevity noodles. This was not normal. It was impossible for all the prisoners in this prison to have their birthdays on the same day, right? That was too outrageous. You know, the probability of such a thing happening was too low, unless there was something wrong with this alliance and they liked to assign prisoners to prisons according to their birthdays.
"No, actually it's a prisoner's birthday, and everyone wants to share in the joy." Some Mediterranean directors wiped the sweat from their foreheads helplessly. This matter actually made them very helpless, but the directors themselves wanted to share in the joy. However, the other party was very particular about food, or in other words, he was very particular about longevity noodles, so the directors had no choice but to seek help. As a result, they invited Heath. The directors knew Heath very well. After all, he was a very famous figure, and his cooking skills were also trustworthy.
"Ah... could it be..." Heath was stunned for a moment. At first he didn't understand the logical relationship here, but after absorbing and analyzing the information, Heath suddenly thought of something, and then looked at the director in surprise. If it was really what he thought, then it could only be said that it was more or less incredible.
Xiaoyao blinked. She felt that her master had suddenly become serious. What were these adults talking about? Xiaoyao didn't understand at all. She knew about birthdays and the meaning of "taking advantage of the good fortune", but when combined, she was confused. Isn't this a prison? Why were the birthdays of prisoners treated so seriously? Xiaoyao's little heart was full of curiosity.
"Well, there is an old man named Kawaki in our prison, and his 100th birthday is coming soon." The director said very seriously, and Heath understood. It was indeed like this, and it was almost the same as he thought. There is a tradition in the Kanto region, that is, if a centenarian celebrates his birthday in the family, it is a big day, and it will even alarm the neighbors. In the city, it will also alarm the staff of the alliance. Even in some places that attach great importance to family concepts, all family members will congratulate him. Even in cities where human touch has become much colder, it is a big event.
After all, even in the world of Pokémon, it is very difficult for humans to live to be a hundred years old . Not to mention natural disasters and man-made calamities, disease is also a dark force threatening humans. Therefore, being able to celebrate the birthday of a centenarian is given great importance in the Kanto region. No wonder the director of the prison is looking forward to this event so much. But when Heath thought of this, his expression became strange. Why does it feel weird that a hundred-year-old birthday guy is locked up in prison?
"To be honest, I do want to let Kawaki go, but he refuses to do so, and there's nothing I can do." The director shrugged and said helplessly. Heath thought of the news he had read before, and he probably understood what was going on.
The world of Pokémon is very strange, especially in some big cities, where the pressure of life is very high, and the pensions and old-age benefits are not enough for them to support themselves and take care of their children and families, so what should they do? Some elderly people have embarked on the road of crime. Heath had seen the documentary released by the league's reporters before, which attracted a lot of social attention, but the league's finances were also very tight, so there was no good solution to this problem, so they could only call on companies to pay more pensions, but the problem was whether others would listen or not was another matter.
Heath shook his head. He now understood the purpose of his coming here. He wanted to make longevity noodles to satisfy the old man, and then everyone could share in the blessing. However, this was quite easy. Under the guidance of the director, Heath met the protagonist of this time, an old man with white hair and beard, who was practicing Tai Chi...
What the hell is Tai Chi? Heath’s mouth twitched.
Although he knew that the world was a hodgepodge, Heath admitted that he couldn't help but almost spit out the Coke in his mouth when he saw Tai Chi for the first time. After all, he didn't have too deep an impression of Tai Chi. The reason was that when Heath was in college, Tai Chi was included in the elective courses in physical education, and Heath took Tai Chi. He could practice Tai Chi at a young age, but after taking the exams, he lost these skills.
[Favorite flavor: spicy and salty]
[Disliked taste: bland]
[Food requirements: I want to eat a bowl of spicy and delicious longevity noodles, and it would be best if there is also rabbit meat]
Looking at the old man's taste, Heath touched his nose. Wow, this request really makes people not know how to complain. However, the elderly seem to have a heavier taste. There is nothing to be done about it. The elderly's sense of taste declines, and they can only taste the flavor of the dishes with a heavier taste. So it is not strange that they like to eat this food.
