Abnormal Gourmet Chronicle

Chapter 1266 607: [Longevity Noodles Level S]_2

"Oh, Xiao Qin, are you hiding other teachers from us?" Cao Guixiang raised an eyebrow.

"If you put it like that, I have many teachers, and several of them are surnamed Jiang, one is surnamed Qin, and some I don't even know their surname."

Cao Guixiang had a knowing expression: "The 'Snack Encyclopedia'? The first time you mentioned you learned snacks from a recipe, I didn't believe it. Now that time has passed, I am genuinely curious to see what this snack encyclopedia looks like and what it contains. I know that in the earlier years, many masters would contribute their recipes to books, and some even chose not to reveal their names, only providing recipes, but you this…"

"In TV dramas, the protagonist isn't likely to master secret martial arts just by self-study, they need a master to guide them."

"Gui Xiang, you're wrong. In some martial arts novels, the protagonist indeed masters divine skills through reading manuals on their own," Zhang Chu countered.

Cao Guixiang directly ignored him.

"Did Old Shi tell you what time he's coming over for noodles?" Cao Guixiang asked Qin Huai.

"Normally, it's 7 o'clock."

"Master, when are Qingqing and Zhizun coming for breakfast? Handmade noodles are better fresh, and if you leave them on the counter for too long, they won't taste the same after cooking," Qin Huai asked.

As a breakfast chef who loves giving special treatment to close acquaintances, Qin Huai ensures every special friend has a great breakfast experience.

"Don't worry about them, they probably won't be able to eat breakfast," Cao Guixiang said, "Last night after dinner they couldn't resist and stole more food, and if nothing goes wrong, they'll get up again to sneak something to eat around three or four in the morning. With Si Yu's temperament, she most likely brought home a few bags of snacks from her brother's place last night, it's sure they ate sneakily last night."

"Besides, I told them while cooking yesterday that only that dinner was a feast, today's just regular homemade dishes. If today is another feast, they might eat less when they secretly eat at night. Today is just usual homemade dishes…"

"It's fortunate if they show up for lunch."

Qin Huai believed this made perfect sense and silently lit a candle for these two families in his heart.

The Level S- Fermented Rice with Steamed Buns is indeed delicious, but it depends on the comparison.

Today's breakfast is highly likely to upgrade to an S-level Chicken Soup Noodles.

Has anyone tasted Level S noodles?

Even Qin Huai hasn't.

Qin Huai couldn't even imagine what S-level noodles would be like, and these noodles were cooked in chicken stock, which is naturally a bit yellow. S-level Chicken Soup Noodles… unveiling them is like making a grand scene, even having the Great Wall's theme music play wouldn't be surprising.

With these bizarre thoughts, Qin Huai made the first batch of hand-rolled noodles.

The prepared chicken stock was simmering on the stove.

Cooking noodles directly in chicken stock is undeniably an extravagant way to eat. None of the three present voiced any objections to this luxurious approach, only anticipation.

"Master, your noodle-cooking skills are high; please help me cook them." Qin Huai said with a smile.

Although the cooking process didn't stand out in the current configuration of Chicken Soup Noodles, it definitely added a layer of perfection. Compared to Qin Huai's, Cao Guixiang's fire control skills were undoubtedly superior, even a tongue would know who to choose.

Cao Guixiang understood Qin Huai wanted the most delicious noodles and accepted the responsibility of cooking them.

"Just add greens, mushrooms, and eggs? Should I crack two eggs for you?"

"No need, Master, one egg is enough."

"Gui Xiang, I can eat two eggs!"

"You can only eat one, forgot the last check-up report, didn't you? Eat fewer eggs!"

Five minutes later, three aromatic bowls of noodles were served.

There were no special effects of golden light, but it was close.

Nearly perfect chicken stock, coupled with impeccable hand-rolled noodles, the broth wasn't intentionally made clear, but it felt light and had a rich aroma without any noticeable greasy oil floating on the surface.

The greens were cooked to a vibrant green, with a few oil beads on the surface, looking even shinier, and the mushrooms were equally enticing. The perfectly cooked semi-soft egg sat atop the noodles, making one momentarily unsure which to start with.

Looking at the Chicken Soup Noodles in front of him, Qin Huai felt it was both as expected and a little beyond his expectations.

[Longevity Noodles S-level]

This was the first truly S-level snack he had ever made, though it wasn't entirely his own work, half the credit belonged to Cao Guixiang, but it was indeed his first S-level snack.

It wasn't as stunning and impressive as imagined.

It was rather textbook-like.

From aroma to appearance, this bowl of noodles met every normal diner's imagination of Chicken Soup Noodles. The most delicious, mouth-watering, perfect noodles cooked in chicken broth you could imagine—this bowl was exactly that.

It didn't exceed your imagination, but at the same time, it slightly did.

Because it brought imagination into reality.

Zhang Chu eagerly started eating.

As Cao Guixiang's husband, Zhang Chu was undoubtedly a well-seasoned foodie, even enjoying better food than most gourmets.

Zhang Chu chose to pick up an egg, greens, and noodles together and took a bite.

As he bit through the noodles, he swallowed the whole piece of greens, taking a third of the soft-boiled egg in one bite, the runny egg yolk dripped down the chopsticks onto the noodles. A residual of egg liquid was at the corner of his lips, his face showing utter indulgence, chewing furiously on the noodles, savoring the complex yet simple taste.

Qin Huai chose to eat the egg first.

Swallowing it whole, the runny yolk burst in his mouth, the delicious egg combined with the rich broth filled his mouth, shouting for a bite of crisp greens to balance the flavor.

Qin Huai popped a piece of greens into his mouth.

The moment the greens touched his tongue, Qin Huai understood why Jiang Cheng put a single egg and a little greens when cooking Longevity Noodles, especially in the noodle-cooking realm, using chicken stock—it's the perfect match.

The simple combination was indeed a killer move!

Qin Huai glanced at the noodles in front of Cao Guixiang and realized she hadn't touched them yet. She was smilingly watching him and Zhang Chu. Feeling a bit embarrassed, he smiled back at Cao Guixiang and took a picture of her noodles with his phone.

Alas, the noodles were so tempting, he couldn't resist starting before taking a picture to send to Zhao Cheng'an and Tan Wei'an.

After sending the picture in one click, Qin Huai continued eating the noodles.

What he just had were the side dishes; now it was time for the main star—the noodles.

"Slurp."

Qin Huai never thought his handmade noodles could be cooked in such a wonderful chicken stock.

The handmade noodles were practically marrying into a wealthy family.

Every strand was coated in broth,yet they beautifully captured the rich flavor without excess grease.

You couldn't stop!

While eating this bowl of noodles, no one's mind could entertain stray thoughts or distractions, just a pure desire to keep eating.

There's not even the thought of sipping some broth halfway through to test how delicious it was—it's simply about eating the noodles.

"Slurp."

For a moment, the sound of eating noodles resounded throughout the living room.

Along with the fluid toner ton of slurping the broth came the sound of placing their bowls down, and both Qin Huai and Zhang Chu leaned back in their chairs, staring contentedly at their empty bowls, signaling the end of this satisfying breakfast.

Though today's breakfast was theoretically made by Qin Huai, he could act as if he had never tasted his own breakfast before and really went all out enjoying it.

In stark contrast to the boisterous approach of Zhang Chu and Qin Huai was Cao Guixiang, who very calmly and elegantly finished her noodles, sipping on the broth in small gulps, savoring it for a while before saying to Qin Huai with great emotion:

"Yesterday when you told me, I only understood it emotionally, but didn't entirely comprehend the textbook style you described."

"Now I truly understand."

"It's indeed quite textbook."
