Chapter 45 Tasting
As the noodles enter the mouth, the first feeling is refreshment, as if a cool breeze is blowing in the mouth, and the refreshing breath instantly spreads over the whole body. The body can't help but shiver, as if an electric current is running through the body, feeling extremely refreshed.

Wen Shizhang then noticed that the mist floating on the soup was not hot air, but cool air. This was a bowl of cool and refreshing cold noodles.

Wen Shizhang couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's amazing, I thought it was hot soup noodles, but it turned out to be cold noodles. I have never eaten cold soup noodles before."

As Wen Shizhang said this, he couldn't help but pick up another piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

The soup is sour and refreshing, and paired with pickled vegetables, the spicy and sour taste is very appetizing, which completely whets people's appetite. Coupled with the refreshing taste and chewy noodles, you will never get tired of eating it.

Wen Shizhang quickly finished a bowl of noodles, but felt his stomach becoming more and more empty. His appetite, which had been completely aroused, would not be satisfied so easily.

He immediately aimed at the next bowl of noodles, and as soon as the noodles entered his mouth, he screamed in surprise.

The noodles should have been solid, but as soon as you bite them, they burst with juice. The rich gravy fills your mouth. The noodles are chewy on the outside, but surprisingly soft and glutinous on the inside. Two completely different tastes instantly burst out in your mouth and intertwine together, bringing a different kind of fun and wonderful taste.

"What's going on?" Wen Shizhang asked in surprise.

"My lord, please take a look."

Xu Qing picked up a noodle from the bowl and broke it, revealing meat filling inside.

"This is a traditional snack among the people, sandwich noodles."

Sandwich noodles, also known as gold wrapped silver, are made by preparing two doughs with different textures, wrapping one inside the other, rolling them into thin slices, and cutting them into noodles. This way, the noodles will have two different flavors and textures inside and outside.

At the same time, the catfish noodles that Liu Maoxing made in the super chef exam in the animation also gave him inspiration.

Xu Qing further processed the traditional sandwich noodles by wrapping the prepared meat filling into each noodle. These can be called noodles, or they can be said to be meat buns that grow into the shape of noodles and have the chewy texture of noodles.

"Amazing, it's really amazing. There are noodles like this in the world, with such a novelty!"

Wen Shizhang was amazed.

In addition to the juicy noodles, the light broth better highlights the taste of the meat. The chicken broth has a light flavor and does not cover up the fragrance of the pork, but adds a mellow and elegant taste to the fragrance.

The side dishes are refreshing vegetables, such as shredded potatoes and carrots, which are the best match for meat. They have a mild taste and a soft texture, which is similar to the taste of meat. They have a rounded taste and can also alleviate the greasy feeling of meat, making the taste more refreshing.

The warm soup soothed the hungry stomach very well, and the noodles with a wonderful and distinct taste also aroused Wen Shizhang's interest. The chewy noodles and the soft and glutinous inside, these two completely different feelings were cleverly blended in the mouth. This wonderful taste was so fresh and interesting that people couldn't help but lower their heads and eat it.

There is only one bowl of noodles left.

Wen Shizhang first picked up a pair of chopsticks and separated the noodles in the bowl. There was no filling inside, just ordinary noodles.

There is nothing special about the appearance of the noodles.

Wen Shizhang looked up at Xu Qing and said, "The first bowl was an unexpected cold noodle soup, the second bowl was a surprising sandwich noodle, this third bowl may look ordinary, but there must be some secret hidden in it, am I right?"

"Your Excellency is right." Xu Qing nodded. Wen Shizhang said, "The first two bowls of noodles have made my appetite and expectations reach their peak. I am extremely looking forward to and curious about the third bowl of noodles. If the taste of this bowl of noodles and the surprise hidden in it cannot meet my expectations, then your three dishes will be a complete failure."

Wen Shizhang had a serious expression and spoke very seriously.

These three bowls of noodles are served together, which means they are one and the same. Any shortcoming in the taste of any bowl of noodles will directly affect the taste of the other two bowls of noodles.

If the shortcomings were limited to the first bowl of noodles, perhaps people would be more accepting, after all, there are still two other bowls of noodles to look forward to.

However, if the shortcomings are revealed in the last bowl of noodles, it will completely destroy the expectations accumulated before, making people feel even more disappointed and frustrated.

Not only did the expectations and emotions that were previously put in go down the drain, but the good memories brought about by the previous taste also became dim.

Therefore, the closer it gets to the end, the more cautious one becomes.

Facing Wen Shizhang's serious questioning, Xu Qing just smiled and said, "I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Seeing Xu Qing's confident expression, Wen Shizhang suppressed his doubts, picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

The moment it entered his mouth, burning, spicy and numb feelings instantly filled his mouth. The intense spiciness brought tears to Wen Shizhang's eyes, and he unconsciously opened his mouth and gasped for air.

Spiciness is a feeling of pain, and this is fully demonstrated at this moment.

The taste buds were almost screaming desperately under the torture of the spiciness, saliva was constantly secreted, and the body triggered self-protection, spontaneously trying to dilute the overly intense pain.

However, after the spiciness subsided, a strong sense of comfort came over me.

This is the body's self-protection mechanism. In order to relieve the feeling of pain, the brain will secrete pleasant emotions to regulate the body and mind and alleviate physical pain.

The intense pain in the mouth only lasts for a few seconds when the spicy taste enters the mouth, and then it is replaced by pleasure. The strong spicy taste brings a strong sense of refreshment, makes people's scalp numb, and gives people a wonderful feeling of being possessed.

Even though it is painful, it makes people unable to stop and keep wanting to taste it.

Because if you want to feel more happiness, you can only stimulate it with pain.

The pain caused by spicy food is neither too painful nor too painful, but can stimulate a sense of pleasure just right.

Humans are truly a wonderful species. Our spicy taste is so strong that other creatures avoid it as much as possible and regard it as poison.

However, humans have found happiness in pain and have even evolved an adaptability to spicy food, making it a part of their diet.

After the spicy taste, the soft and smooth noodles became the new protagonist. The noodles melt in your mouth, so soft and sticky that you don't want to touch them. After all, just a light sip of the tongue will melt on the tip of your tongue and turn into smooth fine sand.

The strong stimulation brought by the spicy taste is gently soothed by the soft and glutinous noodles, allowing the taste buds to slowly calm down from the stimulation, and even the overly excited emotions become gentle, just like in the hot summer, the sky and the earth have been scorched by the sun all day, and suddenly a soft breeze blows at night, gently blowing away the heat and making people intoxicated in the wind.
