Chapter 19 Mountain Family Three-Crispy Rice Noodles



Qin Yi went to the vegetable market near her apartment as usual.

She unexpectedly encountered the same old woman who had sold her bamboo shoots on the first day.

This time, the old woman was selling fresh bamboo shoots.

As she looked at the bamboo shoots, an idea suddenly popped into her mind.

It's both economical and stylish, so it's definitely worth a try.

So Qin Yi took away all the bamboo shoots from the old woman.

I then bought a lot of green vegetables and mushrooms.

When I got home, I did the same old thing: I was the guinea pig first.

She cooked all the ingredients according to her memory, then ate a bowl of rice noodles herself first.

Well, how should I put it?

After eating three days of different spicy rice noodles, each with its own unique flavor.

The bowl of clear soup that was served suddenly didn't taste bland at all.

On the contrary, it has an indescribable deliciousness that leaves a lasting impression.

The recipes left by our ancestors truly have their own wonderful aspects.

There weren't many tasks today; it was much easier than yesterday.

So Qin Yi lingered at home until 7:50 p.m. before finally setting off.

Little Tian Rong has to work at the internet cafe today and doesn't have time to come to study, so she'll just have to practice the recipe a few more times on her own later.

The lobster noodles I made last night were not only delicious but also affordable. They were much more cost-effective than eating lobster at a late-night snack shop, and each person got just the right amount to eat their fill and enjoy themselves.

Where else would a business owner sell rice noodles like this?

No one has the guts to sell a bowl for 50 yuan.

Surprisingly, customers felt it was a good deal.

Qin Yi set up her stall early yesterday.

Customers lined up one after another after they smelled the aroma of her stir-fried shrimp.

Even before she reached her destination, she could see a crowd gathered around her usual stall location.

...Could he be waiting for her?

She drove her tricycle to the front of the crowd.

It hasn't come to a complete stop yet.

An impatient customer shouted to her, "Boss, I want five bowls of the lobster noodles I had yesterday!"

"I want three bowls!"

"I want six bowls! I didn't get a single one yesterday!"

The rice noodle stall was open until 12:30 last night.

After all the materials were sold out, there were still more than a dozen people in the queue who hadn't bought any.

Looks like they're not satisfied. It's a pity there's no lobster noodles today.

Qin Yi straightened and parked the tricycle.

He got out of the car and explained to the customers gathered around him, "The rice noodles we sell every day are different. Today we don't have spicy crayfish noodles, so those who came specifically for that will probably have made a wasted trip."

"ah……"

The people who had just spoken in the front row looked very disappointed after hearing this.

"Boss, can't you make some more? The lobster noodles are really delicious!"

Sigh, it's not that she doesn't want to do it, it's just that the system requires her to sell different products every day, and she has no choice.

Qin Yi displayed the rice noodle light-up signs for today's sale.

[Today's offering: Mountain Family Three-Crispy Rice Noodles]

Price: 50 yuan per bowl

Some of the people who had been gathered around saw the picture of rice noodles on the sign.

The dark green vegetables were dotted with some mushrooms, but there were no chili peppers. They looked rather bland, and I immediately lost interest.

"Oh well, let's come again next time."

Today, the advertising light boards are set up.

Two-thirds of the customers who were about to queue disappeared.

Qin Yi was finally less nervous than yesterday.

They can easily control the work that follows.

Although this bowl of noodles looks like it's all vegetarian, it still needs a stir-fried topping.

After some people left.

The young men queuing in front of the rice noodle stall turned out to be Lu Ziyi's group.

It seems they're determined to stick to their dormitory policy of treating each student to a day's worth of rice noodles.

Qin Yi first blanched the tender bamboo shoots, small mushrooms, and wolfberry tips in boiling water with salt.

This dish originated in the Southern Song Dynasty in Qin Yi's timeline.

Small mushrooms refer to the small mushrooms we know today.

Goji berry shoots are a relatively uncommon spring vegetable.

Everyone knows about goji berries, but the goji berry tips are actually its tender stems and leaves.

It is emerald green in color and has a fragrant and sweet taste.

After blanching these three ingredients...

Heat a little oil in a pan, add bamboo shoots and stir-fry for two minutes, then add small mushrooms and goji berry leaves. Stir-fry until the goji berry leaves soften, then sprinkle with a little salt and pepper to enhance the aroma. The dish is now ready.

In fact, ancient people didn't have as many recipes to look up as they do today.

Therefore, modern dishes are mostly complex flavors created by the fusion of various seasonings, resulting in a very rich and layered taste.

The ancients were more simple and unpretentious.

They usually emphasize the concept of "harmony" when choosing ingredients.

Like this dish, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and goji berry leaves are all seasonal vegetables that grow wild in the mountains and forests during the spring.

Only with specific seasonality can you taste the most original, natural flavors of nature.

After all the toppings were cooked, Qin Yi cooked six bowls of rice noodles until they were 70% done, then poured them into a large blue and white porcelain bowl and poured over the secret broth that had been simmering all day.

Then place the "Three Crispy Delicacies of the Mountain Family" on top of the tender white rice noodles.

A dish of rice noodles, looking vibrant green and tender yellow, was served.

The six boys in Lu Ziyi's dormitory were her first customers today.

This bowl of noodles didn't look like it had any meat, and there were a lot of vegetables that boys didn't like to eat. Lu Zi frowned subconsciously. Would this taste good?

He glanced at his brothers around him; they all had the same expression, except for the one in their dorm who was the most abnormal.

—Yang Zhou, who proclaims himself the most handsome man in the world of ancient costume dramas.

Qin Yi isn't busy right now.

Diners were still somewhat hesitant about the 50 yuan bowl of rice noodles that appeared to have no meat.

Everyone was waiting for the young men to finish eating before making a decision.

It's him again.

Qin Yi recognized the little boy from the ancient costume drama.

He's quite tall and thin, with bangs so long they poke his eyes.

He speaks incoherently and doesn't seem very bright.

Yang Zhou first picked up a piece of goji berry stem with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

He had never eaten this vegetable dish before.

The boy referred to all unfamiliar vegetables as "green vegetables".

Its sweet and crisp taste instantly transported him to the lush forests of a thousand years ago.

"What a refreshing smell!" he exclaimed with his eyes closed.

Open your eyes.

He picked up another piece of food with his chopsticks.

There are small mushrooms and bamboo shoots on it.

He kept his eyes closed while chewing.

Dozens of people around him were watching him, waiting to see when he would give his thoughts.

Lu Ziyi even brought his face close to Yang Zhou's.

"Now I know why it's called 'Three Crispy Delicacies of the Mountain Family'!" Yang Zhou said excitedly, his eyes wide open.

He immediately saw the large face in front of him.

Yang Zhou recoiled in fear, saying, "Oh my god! You're not going to force yourself on me, are you?"

"Can't you use your brain for once? Don't associate everything with romantic relationships!" Lu Ziyi was speechless with anger.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" The five brothers hadn't even touched their chopsticks yet; they were all waiting for Yang Zhou.

Lu Ziyi loves bamboo shoots, but he prefers the sour and spicy kind. The bowl of noodles the boss made on the first day was just what he wanted.

However, he wasn't quite sure how to make this dish today.

Judging from the boss's performance these past few days, there hasn't been a single day that wasn't delicious.

But those were all spicy, his natural favorite flavor. Today's...

"Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!"

Yang Zhou, with the air of a food critic, pointed to the bamboo shoots in his bowl and said, "The so-called three crispnesses are all different."

"The spring bamboo shoots are crisp yet chewy, becoming more fragrant with each bite; the mushrooms have a tender and smooth texture, but a bouncy freshness when you bite into them; and this unfamiliar green vegetable is the finishing touch, juicy and sweet when you chew it, with a light crunch and a refreshing aroma of the mountains."
