Chapter 433 Delicious
Yan first placed five dishes of dragon beard noodles in front of the five old men. Before they could pick up their chopsticks, he immediately returned to the stove to prepare the next dish. After all, time waits for no one.

The old men didn't mind Yan Xian's actions at all, because there was something more attractive in front of them.

This was the dragon beard noodles they had been waiting for for so long.

There were no extra side dishes or seasonings in the bowl, only a bowl of clear soup and dragon beard noodles that were as thin as a hair and as crystal clear as jade.

After being boiled, the broth becomes rich and fragrant, but the water is clear and has a slightly golden color, as if it is glowing slightly.

The dragon beard noodles in the soup are even more extraordinary. The crystal clear dragon beard noodles are immersed in the golden broth, like little dragons perched in a magical pool, sleeping soundly and leisurely.

Each strand of crystal clear dragon beard noodles is so thin that it seems to break at the touch of a finger. However, when you pick them up with chopsticks, you will find that the extremely thin dragon beard noodles show great toughness and elasticity. They are thin but flexible, and have an indomitable tenacity inside.

The dragon beard noodles are slender on the outside and tough on the inside, which can be said to be a perfect combination of softness and toughness. They are soft but not weak, thin but not broken. The collision and fusion of the appearance and the inside make this bowl of dragon beard noodles even more extraordinary.

They couldn't wait any longer, and didn't look or think about it any more. They quickly picked up a handful of dragon beard noodles with chopsticks and put it into their mouths.

As soon as they took the dragon beard noodles in their mouths, their eyes widened immediately.

The extremely thin noodles in the mouth broke instantly at the touch of teeth. Although so thin, they had unique toughness and elasticity, as if countless small firecrackers exploded in the mouth in an instant. This subtle and tempting feeling made people deeply immersed in it.

In addition to its unique chewiness, Longxu Noodles also has the smooth texture of all noodles. Its hair-like fineness makes it taste more delicate than ordinary noodles. After being steamed at high temperature, the noodles become extremely smooth, as if countless dragons are swimming freely in the mouth, chasing the flexible tongue, playfully drilling into the teeth, being gently captured by the teeth, and then bitten off happily.

The noodles of Jinlongxu noodles are repeatedly kneaded and stretched during the production process, which makes the noodles chewy and has a unique elasticity compared to ordinary noodles, which makes it not easy to overcook and is smooth when eaten.

Although the noodles in the bowl are extremely thin, properly made longxu noodles are delicate and evenly strung. They do not stick together during the cooking process but maintain their original shape, allowing you to taste the whole noodles in every bite.

In addition to the taste, the taste of dragon beard noodles is also wonderful.

The fresh aroma of wheat and the aroma of the broth blend together to create a refreshing and fragrant taste.

At the same time, the addition of broth adds a delicious flavor to the dragon beard noodles, making the whole dish more rich and mellow.

Every mouthful of Longxu Noodles is accompanied by the extremely fragrant flavor of the soup. The richness of the soup does not cover up the fragrance of Longxu Noodles, but adds a bit of complexity and mystery to its fragrance. The pure fragrance of the noodles is enhanced by the fragrance of the meat, making its taste more three-dimensional and varied.

Beyond the taste, there is the feeling of the heart.

As the flavor of the dragon beard noodles gradually deepens, the thoughtfulness contained in it also gradually reveals itself.

It seemed as if millions of thin threads appeared before their eyes, each of which was connected to someone they knew. Countless thin threads formed a dense web, and a single move could affect the entire body.

And this thin thread, like a noodle, is constantly pulled by the changing events in the world.

Some people walk further and further away, and the thin thread connecting the two people becomes thinner and thinner, until one day it suddenly breaks.

Some people walk and stop, and the thin thread between the two people is sometimes pulled far away, and sometimes close. Every stretch makes it longer. Even if the distance between the two people is far, the thin thread connecting them will not break.

This is emotion, and emotion is based on trust.

If there is no trust between each other, how can there be any emotion? If there is no basic trust in the other person, how can one be willing to have an in-depth communication with him?
Trust is the foundation of everything and the thin thread that connects countless people.

People's interpersonal relationships depend on it, and the rise and fall and survival of a country are even more dependent on it.

If an emperor fails to establish a good relationship of trust with others, if there is no one around him who trusts him or whom he trusts, then he is just a lonely man with the title of emperor in vain.

The relationship of trust is just like this bowl of dragon beard noodles, slender yet tough, as thin as a hair. However, no matter how far apart they are, trust will connect two people and make distance no longer important.

After the dish representing "faith" is cooked, the next ones are "diligence", "thrift", "wisdom" and "righteousness".

Among them, "勤" is relatively easy to understand. You don't even need to think about the ingredients, because there is an ingredient whose name itself represents the meaning of "勤", and that is celery, which has the same pronunciation as the word "勤".

Needless to say, the meaning of "diligent" is to work hard and do one's best.

As an agricultural civilization, China highly values ​​diligence. If you grow more vegetables and shed more sweat, you will have more food in the harvest season.

This has been the case since time immemorial.

The more you give, the more you get, that's fair.

This is the simplest thought in people's minds.

As an emperor who commands all the people, you cannot be lazy. If you don't handle state affairs with all your heart, how can the country have long-term stability?

All the famous wise rulers in history were workaholics, with energy that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Therefore, "diligence" is an indispensable virtue for an emperor.

After deciding on the ingredients, the next step is to choose the cooking method.

The dish Yan Xian wanted to cook was stir-fried celery with lilies.

There is no need to say much about celery, and lilies are divided into edible lilies and ornamental lilies. The lilies used in cooking are not the lilies themselves, but the rhizomes of lilies. Lilies are bulbous rhizomes, and their rhizomes are white and bulbous. The inside is clove-shaped like garlic, and when you break it open, it becomes a small clove of lily.

Lily represents purity and happiness. When stir-fried with celery, which represents hard work, it conveys the message that only hard work can lead to a satisfactory harvest.

This dish is not only beautiful in meaning, but also fresh and refined in taste. The lily has a delicate and crisp taste, sweet and refreshing. The celery is also crisp and tender, with a unique fragrance and a little bit of stimulation. The combination of these two equally fragrant and crisp ingredients is like breathing the breeze blowing from the forest, with a natural and slightly green grass scent.

Moreover, stir-frying celery and lily is simple and quick to prepare, which just meets Yan Xian’s current purpose.

Yan immediately washed and cut the vegetables, and after a while, the second dish representing "diligence" was also completed.

Yan first placed the dishes on the table and immediately returned to the stove to prepare the third dish.

At this moment, he didn't even have time to care about Xu Qing's progress. He just focused wholeheartedly on his own dishes, squeezing every second as much as possible, hoping to widen the gap between them as much as possible.
