Chapter 789 - Not an ordinary person
"How long have I slept?" Yang Meng asked, stretching.
Hugh coughed dryly: "Almost an hour." β
Yang Meng said with an embarrassed face: "I'm a little tired during this time, and I can't help but sleep when I get here." Luckily, I didn't sleep for long, so I kept you waiting. β
"Isn't that long?" said Alexander, "we're all worried that you're steamed, okay? If you weren't breathing all the time, we could really carry you out, would you still be human? We'll go out once in fifteen minutes here!"
Yang Meng smiled and waved his hand: "I'm still relatively resistant to high temperatures, what are you doing out, how comfortable are you here?"
After hearing this, Alexander dragged Yang Meng out of the sauna and back to the rinsing room, pointed to a position for Yang Meng to take off his hat and let him stand there.
As soon as Yang Meng arrived there, the aunt in the bathroom directly picked up a large wooden bucket and poured Yang Meng with a cold heart.
"!" Yang Meng burst out directly, is the water in this barrel all ice water, okay? There are ice cubes in it, is this directly taken from Lake Baikal?
Looking at Yang Meng's reaction, Alexander laughed: "This is the characteristic of the Tsarist Russian bath, it has to be extremely hot and cold, do you drink honey water or beer? Replenish some water and go back and continue steaming!
Yang Meng didn't say a word and ran back, I don't want to replenish water, but the stimulation of this extreme heat and cold is really unbearable!
But when he returned to the sauna and lay there to be comfortable, he saw Alexander and Hugh and a group of other people walking in with them, all smiling evilly, and holding bundles of oak branches and leaves in their hands.
"What are you going to do?" Yang Meng couldn't help but ask, looking at them walking towards him with a wicked smile on their faces.
As a result, Alexander and the others didn't say a word, and took a whip made of oak branches and leaves and began to whip Yang Meng------ of course, not very hard. But it's weird and scary for such a group of people to smoke him.
"If you don't get pumped in the Russian bath, you won't have the fun of the Russian bath, don't worry, it will relax the nerves and promote blood circulation!" Alexander said to him.
Well, you are a Tsarist Russian, you have a point in what you say, but γγγγγγ What are so many people doing with themselves? This is a slap in the face.
But it's really comfortable!
But ordinary people may not be able to bear it, imagine that when the skin of the whole body is steamed and the softest is used to smoke yourself, the sourness is really not acceptable to everyone!
After the draw was over, Yang Meng thought it was over, but they dragged Yang Meng out of the sauna and went outside.
It was freezing outside, and they just walked out.
Yang Meng was already scared silly before she could feel cold: the Russian aunt I saw in the sauna just now was soaking in Lake Baikal, and there was a piece of ice floe next to her, and there was a flower cloth on the ice floes, and there were teapots and snacks on the flower cloth, and she was eating food while soaking in cold water. And just now the two uncles who warmed up in the sauna dug two pits in the snow, and the two sat in the pits drinking vodka.
Damn, this Nima Tsarist is really not afraid of the cold!
Alexander smiled at this Yang Meng and said, "Yang, do you dare to jump into the ice lake?"
Before Yang Meng could answer, Alexander rushed with a strange scream
Go out and plunge directly into Lake Baikal------ this sauna has also built a small wooden pier by the lake in order to make it easier for people to dive.
He jumped in the water and didn't forget to wave to Yang Meng.
Yang Meng grinned, jumped directly into the water, and then γγγγγγ It's gone!
Susan and the other girls did not go into the water, but stood on the shore wearing thick fur to watch the excitement, but everyone was dumbfounded after seeing Yang Meng jump into the water and not see anyone: where did he go?
Just when everyone thought that something had happened to Yang Meng, a head came out of the water in the distance of everyone's sight.
"Haha. Look what this is!" Yang Meng shouted and beckoned.
"What is he talking about?" Hugh asked, puzzled.
Susan shook her head, "I can't hear clearly, but how did he swim so fast?"
When Yang Meng came back, everyone was speechless: Yang Meng was holding a seal in his arms.
"I have a lake at home, and I really want to catch two Baikal seals and raise them. Yang Meng climbed to the wooden pier, held the seal in his arms, and touched the seal's head: "It's so fun." β
Susan was puzzled and asked, "Seals are so well-behaved?"
"Good fart!" Alexander burst into a foul mouth: "Seal! Leopard! You know that this guy has nothing to do with 'good'!"
Yang Meng touched the head of the Baikal seal and put it back into the lake: "Thank you for letting me hitchhike, let's go back quicklyγγγγγγ Alexander, I've jumped into this ice lake, what am I going to do next? Are you asking me to play Truth or Dare?"
Alexander stretched out his thumb and said, "I'm convinced, you're really not an ordinary person." β
He dragged Yang Meng to the sauna to take a shower, but he actually felt like he was competing with Yang Meng: Didn't Susan say that Yang Meng was just a motorcyclist? Why was Hugh so polite to him? Is this your competitor okay? Although 'breaking up is also a friend', but you are too friends, right?
Traveling in Tsarist Russia on a motorcycle in winter? Is this Nima sick in the brain? Besides, can you stick to it or is it another matter, he deserves so much attention there? After Hugh met Yang Meng, he completely disrupted the initial plan. also for Yang Meng to leave all his friends out in the cold, he also wanted to see what kind of magic Yang Meng had.
Well, but I have to say that the thing he made called 'hot pot' is really delicious.
After coming into contact with Yang Meng, Alexander found that Yang Meng was a very interesting person, the so-called 'person who can make friends'. This made him embarrassed to break with Yang Meng, but it's always okay to make Yang Meng embarrassed, right?
That's why he dragged Yang Meng to take a bath in Tsarist Russia, after all, not everyone can accept this way of bathing. What I didn't expect was that Yang Meng did not refuse.
Alexander was completely convinced.
Yang Meng smiled: "Everyone is a friend, what is not convinced." I still admire you, you can see that you can ski, I haven't played that thing in my life!"
Alexander's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Huh?"
He saw hope again.
Why didn't Susan know what he was thinking? She quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'm very tired from taking a sauna, now everyone should rinse themselves and eat and drink enough, that's the last word." Yang, aren't you going to teach us how to make regular hot pot?"
"Yes, yes
Yes, it's the hot pot that's the most important thing!" Alexander came back to his senses.
But this time the hot pot was different from yesterday's hot pot: this time everyone crowded into Yang Meng's cabin, and Alexander blew Yang Meng's hot pot after he went back yesterday. Including Yang Meng, ten people are surrounding a hot pot, this can't be robbed anymore!
And Yang Meng didn't hide his secrets this time, and taught them the authentic clear soup pot method.
This Sichuan pot is enjoyable to eat, but after all, not everyone loves spicy and can eat spicy, Sichuan people and outsiders often eat hot pot for what kind of hot pot to eat What kind of hot pot to break their heads, there is a joke that the most humble sentence when Sichuan people eat hot pot is 'order a mandarin duck pot is always OK'?
The clear soup pot is another way to eat, only a little salt and green onion in the bottom of the pot, and the taste is adjusted by dipping sauce. If you like spicy food, put chili peppers in the dipping sauce, and if you like salty food, you can add more saltγγγγγγ It is adjusted according to the different tastes of the individual. And what's the soul of dipping? It's peanut butter and tahini.
If you are not particular, it is good to use peanut butter to make the dipping sauce low, and if you are more particular, you should use 'Erba sauce', which is a sauce that blends sesame paste and peanut butter. Especially in Beidu, which is the most particular about eating clear soup hot pot, he is obsessed with this 'Erba sauce' to the extreme.
The most famous 'Erba sauce' now is probably the 'Erba Sauce' of the 'Zhaofu Street Non-staple Food Store' in Beidu, and whenever you go there, there are a lot of customers waiting in line to buy the Erba sauce. Yang Meng went to the Northern Capital and bought a lot of these things.
Let's talk about something funny, many people know Erba sauce, and they also know that Erba sauce is a mixture of peanut butter and sesame paste, so who is 'two' and who is 'eight'?
According to ordinary people's thinking, this peanut butter is cheaper than tahini, so it should be that peanut butter is 'eight' and tahini is 'two', but the truth is diametrically opposite: the correct ratio is that peanut butter is 'two' and sesame sauce is 'eight'.
The taste of sesame sauce is better than peanut butter, but the pure sesame sauce tastes bitter and too viscous, which is not suitable for mixing cold dishes directly or making hot pot bases, and it can solve this problem after being mixed with peanut butter: the flavor of the blended Erba sauce not only maintains the aroma of sesame paste, but also relieves the bitterness of pure sesame paste.
The 28 sauce is not simply mixed with peanut butter and sesame paste, it still needs to add a lot of water to mix, and the water used to mix the 28 sauce is not ordinary white water, but with anise, cinnamon, cumin, sugar and other spices added to pure water and boiled to make the 'big water'.
After the peanut butter and sesame paste are mixed according to the proportion, pour in the large amount of water and stir it vigorously, this process should continue to increase the amount of water, and adjust the viscosity to the right one, which can be regarded as taking out a qualified 'Erba sauce'.
And the Zhaofu Street Erba sauce brought by Yang Meng can be regarded as conquering everyone: after all, it is cold here, and the Erba sauce is relatively a 'greasy' sauce, which is more suitable for the cold environment here, and Yang Meng has also thoroughly seen the Tsarist Russians' understanding of the word 'taste': a girl even directly ate a bowl of dipping sauce with a spoon and spoonful by spoon!
"Yang, thank you for telling me the secret of this deliciousness. "So I decided: in return, I'll teach you how to ski tomorrow!"
"Yes, this guy is holding back again!"
