Chapter Thirty-Nine: Food is not afraid of deep alleys
The recording has not officially started yet, and there are several guests who have not yet arrived.
Min Jie went back to the hotel arranged by the crew and put her luggage away, and then began to go out to forage for food.
When you come to a new place, of course, you have to taste the local food!
Min Jie didn't search for local food recommendations online, she felt that there were not many real recommendations on the Internet, so she decided to go out and shop on her own.
Most of the restaurants in this coastal area are seafood, and Min Jie first bought a few strings of seafood barbecue at several nearby barbecue stalls.
The taste is not bad, the squid whiskers are very fresh, elastic, delicious, no fishy smell, only a faint seafood smell, the shrimp is also very good, the shrimp line is very clean, the shrimp shell is roasted crisply, but the shrimp meat inside is very tender and fresh, the grilled clams are also delicious, the shell of the clams is roasted raw, and then the clam meat is sprinkled with seasoning, and then grilled.
A few strings of seafood barbecue, Min Jie ate quite satisfied, and then she walked to the residential area, some of the residential buildings in this area are very old, most of the residents are local fishermen, and there are also prosperous areas.
Because of its proximity to the sea, the resort is thriving, and Min Jie also saw several foreign tourists.
There are resorts, there are tourists, of course, there can be no shortage of restaurants around, but Min Jie doesn't want to eat those restaurants, she doesn't have to eat, she knows that most of these restaurants are not local, and some dishes may be eaten everywhere, so she has no interest.
On the contrary, those old residential buildings may have local specialties.
This residential building is a few years old, and many of the tiles have fallen off, revealing mottled walls.
Several buildings are close together, leaving only room for three people to walk side by side.
Min Jie kept walking inside, and didn't go far before she saw a breakfast shop called Li's porridge shop.
Business was doing well, the inside was full, the few small tables set up outside were full, and there were some people standing and waiting outside.
Min Jie is very curious, this place is so big, the decoration is not good, the geographical location is so remote, the business is still so good, and the things in it must be very delicious.
Now that the shop was full, Min Jie looked inside and saw a chubby woman and a sturdy middle-aged man busy among the customers.
The person next to Min Jie glanced at her, revealing a puzzled look.
"Little girl, Nong is also here for a meal at the Li family?" asked an old woman beside Min Jie.
The old woman pinched a coastal dialect, Min Jie didn't understand at first, and thought that the old woman was talking to other people, or the system reminded her, and by the way, she also translated it.
It's just that the translation made Min Jie want to burst into laughter, and the mechanical sound of the broadcast is very weird!
Min Jie tried her best to suppress the corners of her mouth, and replied politely: "Mother-in-law, are you asking me? I'm not a local, so I don't know how to speak your dialect here." ”
The old woman didn't understand Min Jie's words very much, she was a native of here, and she didn't have much culture, and there were fishermen like her living around, everyone was their dialect here, she had never heard Mandarin a few times in her life, so naturally she couldn't understand it.
Min Jie saw that the old woman looked confused, her brows were furrowed, and the wrinkles on her face were wrinkled, so she knew that she must not have understood her words.
Min Jie is also very helpless, although she can understand their words with the help of the system, but she can't learn it in such a short time?
Fortunately, not everyone here can speak Mandarin, and there was a young man next to him, seeing how embarrassed the two of them were, and said, "Mother-in-law, is she asking Nong to ask her again? ”
Min Jie threw a grateful glance at the young man.
"Oh, I don't think she looks like a local!" said the old woman to the young man.
The young man wanted to translate to Min Jie, but Min Jie hurriedly said: "I can't speak, but I understand!"
The young man's mouth opened and closed.
The old woman said, "The nongs can speak, and the nongs say that the wives and children don't understand." She said she was late and went into the store.
Min Jie looked at the young man, smiled unnaturally, and asked, "Why is the business here so good?"
The young man is very good, Min Jie asked, and he patiently replied: "The people who live here are coastal fishermen, and this shop is also opened by a fisherman couple, and now their son and daughter-in-law are running it, and it has been open for many years, anyway, it has been here since I was born." His porridge is delicious, especially seafood porridge. ”
The young man paused, and said: "In recent years, this area has developed rapidly, and there are a lot of people from other places outside, and there are more hotels and restaurants, which is a good thing, but the older generation can't even understand Mandarin, let alone go to see the prosperity outside, and now everyone is nested in this old house." My favorite thing is to come here for a porridge. ”
Min Jie opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
The young man didn't dwell on this, but pointed to the shop and said, "Come in, it seems that the boss is a little empty." ”
Hearing him say this, Min Jie hurried in.
When the chubby proprietress saw her, the smile on her face paused slightly, and then asked her in a very non-standard Mandarin: "Are you a foreigner?"
"Well, I'm an out-of-towner. Min Jie smiled kindly at the proprietress .
The smile on the proprietress increased again, and she said with a smile: "It's hard to see outsiders in our small shop! What do you want to eat?"
"Uh......" Min Jie didn't know what she was eating, she didn't even know what was here, suddenly she thought of what the young man said just now, and blurted out: "Seafood porridge!"
The proprietress looked at Min Jie meaningfully, she thought that this place would not know something, but she didn't expect that she was an expert, and she clicked on their signboard at one point.
Their seafood porridge is the best-selling, and the big guys around love it.
"Haole, seafood porridge, what else do you want to order?" asked the proprietress with a smile.
"No need, just a bowl of seafood porridge!" "I was a little full from eating barbecue just now, and she couldn't finish it if she ordered too much.
Soon her seafood porridge arrived, a bowl that looked to be a few years old with a bowl of porridge.
The porridge is there, but there is no place!
Just now, when the young man saw Min Jie, he called her and gave him the seat he had just sat in.
Min Jie was a little embarrassed, and the young man said: "My house is close to here, I'll take it back to eat, and send the bowl back to the boss after eating." ”
The young man talked about this, and Min Jie couldn't be embarrassed anymore and sat down.
The young man did as he said, and took back the porridge and some things that looked like buns and ate them.
Min Jie couldn't help but sigh that the folk customs here have some human touches.
Picking up the bowl, Min Jie took a small sip of porridge, and when the porridge was entered, Min Jie's face showed an expression of experience.
"It's so delicious, isn't it?" Min Jie exclaimed in her heart.
This porridge looks ordinary, but it tastes very good.
There are no bells and whistles in it, just rice, some crab meat, shrimp meat, and a little shredded ginger.
But these simple ingredients are extremely delicious.
The porridge is hot, the entrance is a delicious seafood, chewing the crab meat and shrimp meat inside, it is very fresh and sweet, and the shredded ginger plays a good role in enhancing freshness.
Soon a bowl of porridge was at the bottom, and when Min Jie checked out, the proprietress beckoned her to come back next time.
When she walked out of the alley, the corners of Min Jie's mouth never went down, feeling that she was healed by the seafood porridge and the people here.
Out of the alley, Min Jie looked back inside.
Sure enough, some good things will not be covered up, and the food will not be afraid of alley shots.
