I Became a Servant the Dragons Are Obsessed With - Chapter 608



608 – Side story) How to eat special dishes

“… Well, first of all! “Take it out slowly, starting with the noodles!”

“Then where…” … .”

ㅡUgh… !

I moved the chopsticks carefully according to Sylvian’s instructions. I was afraid that the thin, flat surface might tear.

But unlike those worries… … .

“What? “Aren’t these noodles very springy, like jelly?”

It was like that.

The noodles were thin enough to be transparent, but

There was no response to my clumsy use of chopsticks.

Even though the form of holding chopsticks was awkward due to the small body, the square-shaped noodles came together well without tearing. Floating like a freshly caught live fish.

ㅡTalongdaerongdaerong

Hanging from the chopsticks and shaking them gave it a certain taste.

“Hehe, of course. The dough containing glutinous rice was painstakingly kneaded for half a day and aged for two days. “It won’t tear easily unless you chew it with your teeth.”

Sylvian reveals the secret.

I didn’t know there was glutinous rice in the noodles.

In addition, a lot of time was invested to make the cotton elastic.

“It took half a day just to knead the dough…” … ?”

“It just took some time to prepare a large amount in advance for research and practice. Moreover, it was impossible to do by hand, so I worked hard to make it with a foot hammer.”

“Oh oh… … .”

If it’s a jokta, I’ve seen it on YouTube.

A traditional kneading method.

It was literally a technique of making a huge piece of dough by stepping on it with your feet.

“ah! Of course, it was made with clean feet and covered with cloth, so don’t worry about hygiene!”

Sylvian nods his head proudly. I looked with pride at the noodles shaking lively on the chopsticks.

There was confidence in her eyes.

Just by looking at their facial expressions, you can feel a deep sense of trust.

Moreover, if Sylvian made it, it would be okay to say that he made it by stepping on it with his bare feet.

“But what do we do next? “Can I just soak it in broth?”

“Yes. “All you have to do is soak it in broth for a moment.”

ㅡSnap!

Wide noodles jump into the bright ocher-colored cold broth. Carefully remove the accumulated ice with chopsticks and bury the noodles.

OK… … .

ㅡsssssss

“what? “Are the noodles turning the color of the soup?”

The surface that seemed like a pure white canvas becomes darkly colored.

Surprisingly, it was sucking up the broth.

It was truly amazing.

Even though it has already been boiled in boiling water, the noodles can retain the soup… … ?

“There’s nothing to be too surprised about. “This is because the ingredients from the roots of Mokin are seeping into the noodles.”

“Woodman’s roots? “The woodman I know?”

“Yes. It can also be said to be the key ingredient in this dish. “From what I heard from our ancestors, it is said that it has an ingredient that absorbs everything, whether it is beneficial or harmful.”

“Oh, definitely… … !”

The original knowledge I received from the other me, the breeder, stirred and information related to the woodman came to mind.

“But if you are a tree person, from whom did you get your roots? “I guess they wouldn’t have cooperated easily given their personalities?”

“Why are you so worried? “At the beginning of our ancestors and at the headmaster’s order, we borrowed some roots from the oldest living wooden person, Indragog, the head of the school affairs department.”

“Well, the older the tree, the denser the sap condensed in the roots… … .”

“Yes. However, when cutting off the roots, it was so loud that it screamed ‘Sweet!’… … . “I didn’t know that wood people also had apperception.”

“Well, that’s right. “I was wondering if they had put something like tree bark in it, but I never thought it was a real tree.”

For wood people, a root meant a curly stem extending from the end of two legs. When I think of a part of him being inside, I suddenly feel a sense of rejection.

“Anyway, you don’t have to worry too much about the roots. “It doesn’t have any effect on the taste.”

“Huh, okay. I’m in no position to tell hot water from cold water. So what happens next? Are there still steps left?”

“It’s done now. “Pick up the noodles in a bowl and place the pig’s feet and toppings on top of them, one by one.”

“like this? As the pig’s feet rise, it feels like I’m wrapping something. It looks like Vietnamese spring roll… … .”

Cold, slice-shaped noodles filled with broth. Warm pig’s feet go on top.

A combination of cold and hot.

It may seem awkward at first glance, but

To me, a Korean, it wasn’t such an unusual combination.

That’s because they were a people who ate freshly grilled charcoal-grilled ribs on top of cold noodles, a cold dessert.

“Now, and lastly, if you add this… … .”

Sylvian takes out something and puts it lightly on his chopsticks. It is light green and contains only a very small amount of something.

It was easily recognizable without any further explanation.

“Wasabi?”

“right. “This will center the overall taste.”

Sylvian nonchalantly adds a small amount of wasabi, as if stamping it with a hot sauce. With thinly sliced chives.

“… Now it’s truly complete! Open your mouth, beginning! “I will feed it myself.”

Once all the ingredients are placed, Sylvian neatly covers the noodles with chopsticks. It looks similar to dim sum or dumplings.

When I wondered why the noodles were so big and wide, there was a reason.

“Ahhh… … .”

Just as I was about to slowly open my mouth to describe a dish that I couldn’t tell whether it was Sylvian’s special cold udon or dumplings.

ㅡTiring!

‘Oh.. finally-?!’

A system message that appears one beat late.

Is it because it is a dish that is wrapped and eaten in one go?

As all the ingredients are stacked inside the large surface, detailed information comes to mind.

“… The beginning? Why is it suddenly doing this again? “If it suddenly stops while opening its mouth, I can’t feed it.”

While I was reading the information with my eyes, I heard Sylvian’s voice. As if telling me to open my mouth again quickly.

“Hehe, Sylvian?”

“hmm? “Why are you doing this?”

“You worked really hard for me during that time. “You really did it?”

“Poetry, poetry? Does that mean… … .”

“Okay, I think this will help us get back to normal. thank you so much. And I will eat it well.”

ㅡNyaam!

After saying those words, I opened my mouth wide and bit into Sylvian’s ssam(?).

‘It’s really cool after all, isn’t it..? I can taste the rich soy sauce and the flavor of bonito… … !’

There was no such thing as soup, but

The coolness spreads throughout my mouth.

At the same time, the rich flavor of the sauce contained in the noodles touches your tongue.

The rich soy sauce and the savory and light soybean paste come together to create a subtle aroma and taste. Even before you can taste the contents inside using your teeth, the incredible umami taste whets up your appetite.

ㅡOops… !

Eventually, as I slowly move my chin, I can feel the true value of Sylvian’s special cold udon.

“Hmm-?!”

The first thing I felt was the springy texture of the noodles.

Maybe it’s because of the glutinous rice, but it feels elastic.

It feels as if a wide rubber band is being torn apart.

Perhaps because of the cold temperature, it feels even more elastic.

‘… Inside, it feels completely different. Is this what it feels like to have layers of flavor?

As the wide noodles like dumpling skin are torn apart, the warmly boiled pig’s feet meet the tongue. The meat tastes like the same base soy sauce that went into the cold broth.

Was it because the texture of the taste was the same?

Although it was a completely opposite temperature difference,

There was no sense of heterogeneity at all.

Rather, it is a taste that gives a sense of unity.

On the other hand, there was a big difference in texture.

Unlike the chewy noodles, the meat was very soft. So much so that I thought it might be crushed before my teeth even touched it.

Besides, this wasn’t the end.

-Thrill!

For a moment, I feel a spicy sensation.

A taste that starts from the tip of the tongue and extends to the nose.

It was none other than raw wasabi.

So, overall, there was a variation and climax hidden at the end of the salty taste that made my nose tingle.

An unexpected twist comes to a taste that may seem monotonous, stimulating the palate.

“Ma.. it’s delicious!”

-Gulp!

By the time you’ve tasted all the flavors, the food naturally flows down your throat.

There was no regret about the taste left on the tip of my tongue. It provides just the right amount of satisfaction and passes smoothly down the esophagus.

And at the same time… … .

ㅡTiring!
