Chapter 251: Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles!
However, whether this story is true or not is still a question. After all, it happened in ancient times. However, as a well-known local dish in Yunnan Province, Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles certainly tastes very good. But in Heath's opinion, there are not many authentic Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles nowadays.
Later, Heath went to Yun Province and ate Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles again. The Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles in that place had completely changed. First of all, when you enter the store, you will see many types of Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles, such as Scholar Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles, Juren Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles, and Zhuangyuan Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles. The prices vary from low to high, and of course the dishes are also different. The most expensive portion of Zhuangyuan Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles costs more than one hundred yuan, and this is in a rice noodle shop on the street. If you go to those more stylish restaurants, the price may go up.
Later Heath heard about the launch of some kind of mountain delicacy cross-bridge rice noodles, which used all kinds of good ingredients and was sold at a very high price. This made Heath feel that this cross-bridge rice noodles actually lost its original meaning.
The main feature of Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles is actually rice noodles, which can fill the stomach and be eaten while hot. However, some of the soups of Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles nowadays are not very hot. If you pour a raw quail egg into it, the soup may be warm but the quail egg is not yet cooked. Moreover, the quality of each ingredient is not simply a pile of ingredients.
The high quality of ingredients is indeed important, but it does not mean that the more expensive the ingredients are, the better they will taste.
Just like beef, although Heath has never been abroad, he knows that top-grade Wagyu is the best beef. But this does not mean that top-grade Wagyu can perfectly suit all beef dishes. Some dishes require old yellow cattle or water buffaloes, otherwise the taste will not be right.
The same is true for Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles. In Heath's opinion, a good Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles does not require the accumulation of too many high-end ingredients. It is basically enough to focus on the soup , because other side dishes themselves cannot compete with the soup for the most important position.
After the broth was cooked, Heath began to prepare to make this unique cross-bridge rice noodles. However, before starting, Heath fell into a question: if he did this, would he be recognized by the Golden Finger?
Heath found that the criteria for Golden Finger's judgment were very strange. Sometimes the customers had to order food and then pay the corresponding money to complete the transaction with Heath before the task would be settled. So if Heath finished eating by himself but had not yet received recognition, Heath felt that he would probably be a little overwhelmed.
"Forget it, let me try it first." Heath didn't hesitate for too long. When a chef invents a new dish, he is the first person to taste the dish. If the chef himself can't eat it, the new dish will not taste very good.
Thinking of this, Heath scooped out a small bowl of edible quartz and put it aside for later use. Then he scooped up a large spoonful of soup. The chicken oil sealed the surface of the soup, and the rate at which heat dissipated was slowed down.
Heath nodded in satisfaction, then poured a raw quail egg into the soup, and then put in various cut meats in turn. These meats were also raw, so they needed to be cut very thinly so that the ingredients could be cooked by the soup. However, this did not mean that every piece of meat was raw. Some of the meat was cooked in advance and put into the soup just to reheat it.
Then comes the vegetables, and finally, after waiting for a while, pour in the edible quartz, and a Pokémon world version of a cross-bridge rice noodle dish is ready.
Heath picked up the chopsticks nervously, then picked up a piece of edible quartz with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. It had a strong taste of chicken soup. The taste of the edible quartz itself was very bland, but with the combination of chicken soup and other ingredients, it became tasty. Heath finished eating in a short while, and he nodded with satisfaction. Although the edible quartz still had no taste, at least Heath had made a good portion of bridge quartz.
"Then the next step is to find a customer..." Heath touched his chin and fell into deep thought. Then Heath noticed Mimikyu hiding behind the pillar. The little guy began to observe secretly again. Heath wanted to laugh, but then Heath was stunned. Mimikyu was also a very good customer.
Now Heath is already in the parking lot of the Junshas. Instead of looking for a Junsha to get ingredients, Heath thinks it would be a good idea to ask Mimikyu. He just needs to say a few words and ask Mimikyu to give him something.
Thinking of this, Heath smiled and waved at Mimikyu. Mimikyu's body stiffened, and the whole Pokémon shuddered. It shrank behind the pillar tremblingly.
Heath was not in a hurry. Greeting a stray Pokémon was just like greeting a stray cat. Even if Heath had fed it once or twice, it was very difficult to get the recognition of every stray cat. After all, cats have different personalities.
Smarter Pokémon have more personality, and according to Heath's observation, this Mimikyu is rather shy, or timid. It may be for some reason, but Mimikyu has become like this.
After a while, just when Heath was wondering if Mimikyu had run away, a pair of little yellow ears popped out again. Mimikyu looked at Heath cautiously, and after noticing that Heath did not move, it tentatively moved out slowly.
It really moved out. Heath felt that putting a snail next to Mimikyu might make it crawl faster than Mimikyu. However, Heath was not in a hurry, but watched Mimikyu patiently.
After a long while, Mimikyu finally moved out slowly and appeared in front of Zhao Fang in its entirety. However, Zhao Fang also noticed that Mimikyu had been trying to hide behind the pillar next to it, but just forced himself to stand here.
"Don't be afraid, Mimikyu..." Heath gently comforted the timid little guy.
"It's like this. I recently launched a very good dish and I want you to try it. Of course, you just need to give me something you have as a reward. Do you want to try it?" Heath looked at Mimikyu with a smile and said softly.
Heath swore that he had never been so gentle when he talked to his girlfriend on the phone in his previous life.
However, Mimikyu suddenly shuddered and then disappeared quickly into the pipe. Heath was confused until he saw Lao Junsha walking down carelessly. Then he understood why Mimikyu ran away.
"Heath, is your cafeteria... huh? What's with that expression on your face?" Lao Junsha looked at Heath blankly.
"...Huh, nothing, I'll come up now." Heath took a deep breath.
