Chapter Twenty-Eight: Huainan Beef Soup
17 years old is the beginning of youth, and during this period, everyone's love illusion will wake up, maybe I feel it even deeper. I like Zhang Mengxin, I have a crush on her!
"Is the girl you like from our school, could it be our class!"
"It's not!"
"I really want to see what the girl you like is like, hehe!"
"I don't know where she's now!"
"Why don't you see it?"
"Yes, she went out to work, and she and I were classmates in elementary school!"
"You've been in love since elementary school!"
"Uhhh It's just a simple crush!"
"Haha! I didn't think our melancholy boy would have a crush on a girl, I really want to see what that girl looks like!"
"Uh! go to bed early! Good night!"
"Uh-huh!
After I finished speaking, I saw that Tao Xiaobei had already fallen asleep, got up and turned off the radio, turned off the lights and lay down to sleep!
I got up early the next day, after all, there were girls in the house, how could I be as lazy as usual. When I got up, I went to the small shop next door and bought toiletries.
When she came back, Tao Xiaobei had already dressed, and when she saw me, she smiled and said, "Morning!"
I handed her the toiletries and went to tidy up the floor!
I guess the fat man will be back in a while, and sure enough, before half past six, the goods will ride here on a bicycle.
When the fat man arrived, he pulled me aside and showed me what was in his bag, and I saw that there were about three or four hundred yuan and a cigarette!
It's still thoughtful about this product, it is estimated that this product was in such a hurry to go back last night to make money, and today Yu Xiaoyu and they probably won't let us two go, so we have to find someone to help us two.
"I said fatty, where did you get the money, you won't steal your father's money!"
"Fuck off, uncle, this is my New Year's money, buddy! My buddy has been reluctant to spend it, so he left it all out today, but this cigarette is with my dad, hehe! He can't find one or two less!" said the fat man proudly patting his chest.
I looked at the fat man speechlessly, thinking that this guy's family is too rich, and the New Year's money given is one hundred and one hundred, and I can't find a cigarette or two, definitely a rich product!
"Let's go, let's go, let's get up with the beef soup on the streets of Pingwei!" I said, pulling the fat man.
At this time, Tao Xiaobei saw the fat man and also walked over, "What are you two talking about!"
The fat man looked at Tao Xiaobei and looked at me again, and gave me a look that you understand.
"Fuck off, you uncle, you can't get out of the way!" I said, kicking the fat man.
"What's that, Xiaobei, you've got it done, let's go to school, the fat man wants to invite us to eat beef soup!" I said to Tao Xiaobei with a smile.
Tao Xiaobei nodded, and the three of us rode to the streets of Pingwei and entered a beef soup shop!
Speaking of beef soup, the most famous in the country is our Huainan beef soup. There's also a legend about this.
According to legend, in the sixteenth year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, Liu An was canonized as the king of Huainan.
Liu Dao, the imperial chef of the palace, has superb cooking skills, and the whole Liu Mansion calls him "Old Liu Tou".
King Huainan refined the elixir on Bagong Mountain, but the delicacies were already cold and tasteless when they were delivered to the mountain.
Old Liu Tou saw that the king of Huainan was hungry and thinner, so he couldn't help but think about it and finally came up with a plan.
Lao Liu Tou led the family to kill cattle and take bones, selected herbs and marinades to make soup, and prepared beef, vermicelli and other side dishes and soup to carry up the mountain together. Because the soup is covered with oil, the heat does not dissipate for a long time.
Liu An, the king of Huainan, was full of praise after tasting it, and the beef soup became the secret food of Liu's house, and then flowed into the people, passed down from generation to generation.
During the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Zhao Kuangyin attacked Shouchun according to Bagong Mountain, which is now a county seat in the west of Huainan City.
Shouchun guard general Liu Renzhan army discipline is strict, defend the city as ordered, although Zhao Kuangyin's troops fought tenaciously, still repeatedly attacked, for a long time, there is no rescue outside, no food and grass inside, Zhao Kuangyin was trapped in Nantang. The Southern Tang Dynasty is what we now call Huainan Bagong Mountain.
The local people saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts, and finally slaughtered their own ploughing cattle one after another, boiled them into a large pot of soup, and sent them to the Zhao camp.
Six years after Zhou Xiande, Chen Qiao mutinied, Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, and he never forgot the beef soup in Nantang. Therefore, the folk call it "divine soup" and "rescue soup".
We Huainan people also basically eat beef soup, and the older the town, the better the beef soup is often delicious. On Pingwei Street, there are two authentic ones.
There is also a so-called Huainan beef soup in other places, but it can never be burned with the original authentic soup flavor.
One side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people, Huainan is close to the Huai River Basin, passing through Bagong Mountain, outstanding people, so all the people known as Huainan beef soup all over the country are not authentic Huainan beef soup.
After eating the beef soup, we felt that the cold of the morning was swept away, and we rode to school with satisfaction.
The fat man went out with a cigarette during class, and I guess I went to find a friend in our village.
I ran to Xu Ping's class, and the girls in their class all looked at me with blank eyes.
"Junior brother, come to my sister's place, my sister will take you to play!"
"Little handsome guy, face sheng! Sister introduces you to the object.... "I only heard that the senior boys are very scary, but I didn't expect this senior girl to be even more terrifying, sure enough, women are scary creatures!"
I quickly pulled up Xu Ping, who was talking to the girl, this guy is still in the mood to chat with the girl, it's hard to say whether we can get out of the school gate today!
"Brother Xu, you are so big-hearted, let's not prepare today, can we go home after school to see the creation!"
"Brother Kong, what are you afraid of, do you have any cigarettes? I can call a few people to help us, but it will cost a little money!"
I handed Xu Ping the two packs of cigarettes that the fat man gave me, and said: "If you fight today, the person you are looking for will try to pull the bias, and the fat man will also go to find someone, after all, you are not good to say in the second grade!"
"That's good! I'll go to Zhang Luo Zhang Luo, this old face is still of some use, hehe!"
The fat man and I went our separate ways, and we also received rumors that someone would block us on the streets of Pingwei after school in the afternoon.
The fat man contacted several of our better buddies, and they all quietly prepared sticks and other things!
A faint first-grade bad group centered on me and the fat man gradually formed.
I have been discussing countermeasures with the fat man all morning, and I can avoid conflicts if I can, after all, I don't like to fight, and I have already taught Yu Xiaoyu some lessons.
In the afternoon in physical education class, I played on the basketball court with the fat man, and I had to watch Yu Xiaoyu walk towards our basketball court with three or four thugs from their class from a distance!
There aren't many people around, and there are a few boys in the class who play well, so we have confidence in our hearts if we fight.
Yu Xiaoyu came to the basketball court angrily, holding a basketball in his hand, he was also stunned, he didn't expect me to be on the basketball court.
They each occupy half of the basketball court, full of hot smell, Yu Xiaoyu looked at me and a group of us viciously, and I also scolded this group of them viciously, seeing that there was about to be a brawl!
