"You, you mean, Ah Ning ate a bowl of ramen and it wasn't enough, so she'd beg you to make another bowl?"
Upon hearing Jiang Yu's words, Pan Jingchen looked utterly incredulous, then shook her head slightly and said with certainty,
"That's absolutely impossible!"
Having been at Jiang University for quite a while, she certainly knew that the dishes Jiang Yu cooked were exceptionally delicious, even arguably the best she'd ever tasted. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible to pull her out of the depths of depression bit by bit.
But wasn't Jiang Yu's statement a bit too confident? It seemed to be a tad over the top.
Indeed, the ramen he made would definitely be delicious, and she believed that Ah Ning, who must already be famished, could devour a big bowl of even lightly flavored ramen.
However, after finishing a large bowl of ramen and filling her stomach, to have Ah Ning beg him to make another bowl, well, that just seemed unrealistic.
More than unrealistic, if that really happened, it would be truly fantastical!
You should know, although Liu Xining appeared gentle and approachable, she was extremely proud at heart, and she had never begged anyone for anything.
She still remembered a few years ago when Liu Xining's debut album was still in preparation. Due to the lack of a substantial lead song, Liu Xining was so anxious that she developed blisters at the corners of her mouth.
At that time, there was another female singer in the company who had debuted even earlier than Liu Xining. Perhaps realizing that this newcomer, Liu Xining, would compete with her for resources, she didn't take kindly to Liu Xining and always belittled her in every way.
Upon hearing that Liu Xining's new album didn't even have a suitable lead song, this female singer was elated.
Probably to bring Liu Xining down or make her a laughing stock in the company, she actively sought out Liu Xining and said she happened to have a suitable new song. As long as Liu Xining begged her, she would let Liu Xining use it as the lead song for her new album.
But even in such a situation, Liu Xining held her ground and never bowed her head to this female singer.
Even at a pivotal moment concerning her future, Liu Xining was unwilling to lower her proud head to anyone else, so how could it be possible for her to humble herself before Jiang Yu for a bowl of ramen?
Isn't this a joke?
Jiang Yu really didn't understand his senior sister!
"You really believed that? I was just joking with you."
As soon as Jiang Yu said that, he realized he had misspoken. The words sounded uncomfortable, and those who didn't know him might think he was extremely conceited.
So conceited that he was out of touch with reality, otherwise, why would he say such things?
He turned to glance at Pan Jingchen and chuckled as he said,
"Sister Chen, take a seat and rest for a while, I'll go make the noodles."
With that, Jiang Yu grabbed a thermal container with one hand, a plastic bag with ingredients in the other, and turned to walk into the kitchen.
Pan Jingchen was originally curious and wanted to follow him in to see how Jiang Yu made the ramen. But after hesitating for a long time, she finally gave up.
She wasn't that familiar with Jiang Yu yet, and getting too close was surely inappropriate.
Having drifted in the vast entertainment industry for so long, perhaps because she had always been very averse to ambiguity and innuendo, Pan Jingchen was quite adept at maintaining the "distance" between men and women.
After standing in place for a while, Pan Jingchen returned to the sofa, sat down, and turned on the TV to watch absentmindedly...
On the other side, Jiang Yu began to busy himself in the kitchen.
He first poured the chicken broth from the thermal container into the soup pot to heat it, then soaked the dried wild mushrooms he just bought from the supermarket in water before he started to prepare the ramen.
It is said that ramen originated from the Fushan area of the Jiaodong Peninsula in Ludong Province, hence the name "Fushan Ramen."
Ramen was introduced to Kyoto and praised by the emperor, who bestowed it the name "Dragon Beard Noodles," making it a staple food in the Imperial Kitchen.
As for when ramen was introduced to Sanjin or whether it originated there is unknown.
But the skill of Sanjin people at making ramen and their widespread love for it is unparalleled, and to this day, the Jinzhong and Jinbei areas still retain traditions of serving ramen at weddings and birthdays.
According to Xue Baochen's "Qin Food Essays" in the late Qing dynasty, there was a noodle called "Zhen Noodles" popular in the Sanjin and San Qin areas:
It is made by kneading water into dough with salt, alkali, and clear oil, covered with a damp cloth to soften, pulled into thin strips and cooked, known as Zhen Noodles. It's thin as leeks, resembles fine vermicelli, can form triangular shapes or be hollow, flexible and elastic, resistant to over-cooking. This Zhen Noodle is today's Sanjin Ramen.
Sanjin ramen generally doesn't use oil, salt, or any additives that make the noodles easier to pull, only relying on water and kneading techniques, making the dough easy to handle during preparation and fermentation.
Because of this, Sanjin ramen is pure white, with a pure taste, and a chewy yet smooth texture. Topped with a mix of meat and vegetables, drizzled with fragrant spicy oil, slurping up a bite of noodles is simply euphoric!
Jiang Yu took a stainless steel basin, cleaned it, poured in about 500 grams of high-gluten flour, then picked up a bowl of warm water. While slowly pouring it into the flour, he continuously stirred the mixture with chopsticks.
