A fifteen-year-long unsolved cold case in Nagano Prefecture was finally solved in Tokyo. Morobushi Kagemitsu wanted to quickly share his joy with his brother Morobushi Takaaki, but when he returned to the police academy, he knocked on Fujiwara Yu's door first, wanting to see how the injury on his hand was.
"Ayou, are you resting in there?"
At this time, Fujiwara Yu was lying comfortably on the bed. Just like before, he did not use his hands. He just mobilized the power of the wind to easily float the novel in the air and read it at the most suitable angle.
When he heard Zhu Fu Jingguang's voice coming from outside the house, he immediately restrained the power of wind, and the novel book hit him directly on the bridge of his nose. He subconsciously raised his left hand to rub his nose, but remembered that his left hand was wrapped like a mummy by the health teacher.
"No, I'll be right there."
Fujiwara Yuu pushed open the door and saw that Morifushi Kagemitsu actually had an extremely exaggerated fruit basket in his hand. He stretched out his right hand to hold his forehead and said helplessly:
"Jingguang, are you...making a big deal out of nothing? I just got a minor injury on my hand. It will heal in a few days."
"If you're injured, you should listen to the doctor's advice and pay more attention to your nutrition. Of course, your dominant hand is in such a bad condition that it's definitely not convenient for you to move around, so if you want to eat some fruit, just call us and we'll take care of washing and cutting it."
Fujiwara Yuu really wanted to say that he could easily wash the fruit using only the power of wind, but he couldn't bring himself to say that. So he simply accepted his friends' offer. He stood up, glanced at the time on his watch, and said calmly:
"Are you here to ask me to go to the cafeteria? But at this hour, there should be no food."
"We have discussed this with Instructor Onizuka, and he has approved us to eat outside the school. We also have to find a way to remake the class flag for next week's sports festival tomorrow." Zhu Fujingguang explained.
"Isn't the class flag ready?" Fujiwara Yu opened the wardrobe and took out a more casual short-sleeved T-shirt, took off the casual short-sleeved T-shirt issued by the police academy, turned around and asked in confusion.
Zhu Fujingguang stretched out his hand to gesture to catch their tattered class flag, and said with a wry smile:
"It's not only stained with dust, but also has tears and your blood on it. It's obviously unusable."
"Is that so? Let's go then. They should already be at the restaurant, right?"
"Yeah, it's the Korean restaurant near the police academy. Their cold noodles are pretty good."
[Mapo Original Cold Noodles] From the name, it is not difficult to judge how confident the store is in its signature dish. This small restaurant is located at No. 19, 4-2-2, Asahi-machi. The store is very small and can only accommodate four tables of guests.
But even so, the restaurant has arranged a small private room for Japanese people who prefer privacy. It is more than enough to accommodate diners up to eight people and is very suitable for team-building activities for small groups.
Matsuda Jinpei, who was sitting near the door, turned around and noticed the two people who had arrived late. He smiled, patted the seat next to him, and spoke quickly:
"Please sit here, injured person. It will be convenient for the five of us to serve you some food and let you experience old age in advance!
”
"...Then I really want to thank you, Mr. Matsuda, who is two years older than me."
Fujiwara Yu retorted angrily. He habitually knelt on the cushion with half of his feet dragging, but he found that everyone was sitting cross-legged without paying attention to details, so he simply gave up the so-called etiquette and sat on the cushion in a more comfortable way.
He looked down at the menu before him. Although it was a cold noodle shop, the menu was quite extensive, with a wide variety of side dishes. However, based on his trust in the shop's reputation, he ultimately chose the signature dish, the original cold noodles, and the original pig's trotter, which looked full of collagen.
Jinpei Matsuda, who has a special liking for curry, did not choose curry udon this time. Instead, he ordered a bowl of cold noodles with sashimi. It is obvious that udon noodles are more suitable for enjoying in winter.
After all the dishes were served, Yin Dahang, who had a girlfriend, was different. He was very considerate and asked the waiter for a fork, which he gave to Fujiwara Yuu, whose dominant hand was sealed and he could not use the iron fork to eat noodles.
Faced with the delicious food in front of him, Fujiwara Yu was not in a hurry to enjoy the original cold noodles. Instead, he first picked up a piece of original pork trotter slice with a fork and put it into his mouth together with the side dishes and secret sauce underneath. He always had to consume some meat before enjoying the main course.
The tough pig skin and the stewed pig's trotter meat meet together in the mouth. Even though the lean meat accounts for a large proportion, it does not have a woody taste at all. On the contrary, thanks to the teeth, the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes, and the more you chew, the more you can feel the vitality of collagen.
The fresh and fragrant pig's trotters are paired with a secret sauce filled with garlic, and the shredded cabbage is the finishing touch that adds to the overall crispness. You won't feel sick of it even if you eat a few slices. You may even want to wrap it with the lettuce provided as a side dish and put it in your mouth. Adding a piece of bright red kimchi can increase the spicy flavor.
It can be said that no matter how you match it, you can feel the delicious taste and the sincerity of the store owner who carefully prepares the dishes.
Zhu Fujingguang, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but stick out his tongue to try to dispel the pain on the tip of his tongue. He pointed at the bright red spicy pig's trotter and said incoherently:
"Wow, this spicy pig's trotter is really spicy, but it's delicious... I can't stop eating it!"
"If you think it's too spicy, you can eat it with cold noodles. I just saw the regulars outside eating it like this. It can relieve the spiciness very well." The observant Kenji Akihara suggested with a smile.
Of course, he also reminded Fujiwara Yu, who was eager to try, not to eat spicy food before his hand injury recovered, so that the kimchi plate in front of Fujiwara was moved and replaced by cold bean sprouts that looked unpalatable.
Puzzled, Fujiwara Yu had no choice but to pick up the cold noodles and take a sip of the soup. The seemingly light soup was actually made from carefully boiled beef bones, and the hint of saltiness could only be felt when savoring it. Eating it like this alone did not seem very appealing.
He picked up the rice vinegar bottle beside him, added a little rice vinegar into it, and while others were slurping the noodles, he grabbed the chili powder beside him and poured it in twice... With a guilty look on his face, he began to stir the bowl of original cold noodles that he had slightly processed.
The dark buckwheat noodles are rolled up with thin slices of beef, cucumber and white radish and put into your mouth. The first thing you feel is the rich aroma of buckwheat, as if you are in a buckwheat field, and the breeze blowing towards you is accompanied by a unique fragrance.
The crisp cucumber slices and slightly sour white radish slices played their roles perfectly, while even the tender thinly sliced beef provided a rich texture. While they were bland on their own, the combination created a complex flavor that was difficult to describe... The only thing he could say for sure was that he couldn't stop eating this bowl of cold noodles; it was truly addictive.
The small private room was no longer filled with conversations, only the sound of slurping noodles remained. This was probably the highest praise the diners could give to the chef.
I believe that after today, they will all think that having a bowl of cold noodles in the summer is like Calpis meeting ice cubes, which makes people want to drink more and more, and it has become a must-try item in the summer.
