After a while, the owner personally brought over two bowls of noodles.
Seeing the owner's face all shiny with oil, walking with a limp, Chen Yan got up and took the bowl. The owner grinned, walked out, squatted by the curb at the doorstep, and went to smoke.
Chen Yan sat down, took a whiff of the steaming aroma, and nodded slightly.
This Huizhou-style noodles, while being made, are coated with sesame oil, giving the noodles their aroma. The broth is usually made from beef or mutton, mostly mutton.
A bite into it gives you a full sense of richness from the fat.
People who don't like greasy flavors might find it hard to get used to. But dishes like these often originate from economically underdeveloped regions.
It's usually the countryside where heavy physical labor is required more often.
Because, for people doing heavy labor, what they love is that one mouthful of aromatic fat!
