Without him, the three children were a little pitiful.

Qingcheng in early spring, don't look at the good situation in March and April.

But the spring flowers on the street can still bloom brilliantly at noon, but in the middle of the night, they are covered with layers of frost.

I don't know how long the three children have been waiting for him outside the hotel door, I am afraid that they have already been frozen by the sea breeze blowing from the north.

Shao Nian wanted to find a place to shelter from the wind and talk, but he really saw a good place to go.

Because Bohai Hotel is the top Western-style hotel located on Qingcheng Seaside Avenue, even at night, it is still brightly lit and people come and go.

Guests who come down from the railway station and port terminal, but all guests who have some family backgrounds and like foreign gadgets will definitely choose to stay at this Bohai Hotel.

Therefore, because of the prosperity of a place, it will inevitably attract small merchants and hawkers who rely on the excitement here to make money.

No, on the street opposite the hotel, there are shops that have been open all night for most of the street.

Among them, there is a place that is most suitable for Shao Nian to spend a short time with the three little people.

It was a four-wheeled snack cart that had been tinkled by a skilled carpenter into a mobile hut.

It has handles on the left and right sides, which not only allows enough food and equipment to be hung on both ends, but also perfectly expands the area of the room.

Seeing this, Shao Nianshi didn't care about what was being sold inside, just pointed in that direction, and took the three children into the snack cart made of back cotton cloth into the snack cart.

"Welcome!"

As soon as the four of them drilled into it, a stream of heat from the burning hot pot came to their faces.

And the inner structure was naturally made clear by Shao Nianshi.

To be honest, this free walking car is really a Western scenery that has never been seen in the provincial capital city of Jeseong.

Probably because it is located in the concession area, there are some traces of the merger of Oriental objects at a glance.

This little car is probably the masterpiece of being stolen back from elsewhere by the owner here.

The top of the car was topped with loose linoleum, and the body was surrounded by a thin wall of wooden planks.

If it weren't for the main structure as a pillar or a cart, and the cart still sold local food in Qingcheng, Shao Nianshi would have really regarded them as the Japanese-style stewed mobile car that those Oriental Ronin people like to patronize the most.

But this is not bad, Shao Nian, who is used to the heavy food of Jiaoxi people, is really not interested in the clear and somewhat bland Japanese dishes.

And after he saw that it was a local snack, he pointed to the three small round stools beside him, and took the three children to sit in front of the food cart.

When he saw that the four guests had really come to patronize his business, the owner of the food cooked the food and laughed.

He poked his head out of the back of the car and pointed to a row of wooden signs hanging from the roof of the car that looked like wind chimes, giving the late-night visitors a friendly hint.

"See for yourself what the guests want to eat. ”

"If you want to take two sips, we have some small drinks here. ”

After speaking, he pointed to the shelf connected to the stove behind him on the side of the stove behind the car, in which there were two pots of small roast and a bottle of clear yellow, which was really a good choice for locals.

This Shao Nian is also a good eater, he looked at so many snacks hanging on the brand, and ordered something that could satisfy his stomach and warm up with some soup.

Speaking of which, he has been busy all day, and he has eaten a few bites indiscriminately, and now he is really a little hungry.

"Come and fry four portions of stewed seeds, are you hungry or not, but I'm hungry, so let's bring one of us a bowl of one side and four to eat." ”

The front can only be used to satisfy hunger, and the back is dry goods.

It is precisely because of the reality in the back that the boss has more strength when he responds.

He replied loudly: "Okay!" and asked his daughter-in-law, who was giving him a hand, to fry the stew first.

If you want to talk about this fried stew, it is a special snack in Jiaodong and Qingyan, even in Jicheng, Shao Nian has never seen this thing spread to the inland.

The reason for this is the soup and seasoning.

In fact, there is nothing unusual about this stew, and its raw material is a slightly viscous jelly made of mung bean flour.

With a little pink green, mixed with a little powder white, it is something that does not have any flavor in itself.

But I can't stand it, this large piece of frozen powder, is cut into three or four centimeter square pieces, and then, it is sent flat into a frying pan stained with meat oil, and by the half-hot and lukewarm heat, one side of the fried golden, buckle the lid, let the bottom oil juice penetrate into the inside of the stew along the jelly, and then use a small flat spatula to turn it over from both sides, a large pot because the bottom of the frying is connected to the small powder cubes, snapped, like a whole cake, it was shoveled one by one.

After the side of the white jelly that has not changed the burnt fragrance is deducted to the bottom layer, and then the layer is patted with a flat shovel until both sides become quite crispy and delicious, find the most common bowl on weekdays, and use this shovel to only shovel in the middle, these jelly will naturally become small squares from the original whole piece again, and are rubbed together by the small shovel in the hands of the proprietress, so that the small bowl that is not too big is full of a very honest point.

If this stew is just like this, I'm afraid it really won't have much to eat.

The reason why this stew is called a famous snack loved by Jiaodong people is, in the final analysis, because of the seasoning stirred in this stew.

When the stew entered the bowl, the proprietress picked up the small bottles in front of her in turn and flew up and down at the tips of the bowls.

Among them, there is a sweeter white vinegar brewed by the locals in Jiaodong, a little bit of soy sauce in the old sauce factory to increase freshness.

In addition, the even and delicate garlic mash pounded with a garlic pestle, with a little sugar and a little salt, constitutes the most basic seasoning of the stew.

Of course, this is just the finishing touch, after all, the three main bodies in the stewed sauce are also the key to whether the stew is delicious or not.

If you want to say whether this stew is delicious or not, the most important thing is the sesame sauce, fish sauce soup and spicy seed oil.

This sesame sauce is not pure sesame seeds, because of the people's snacks, three-quarters of the ingredients are all the same fragrant peanuts, and the remaining quarter is to add a little delicate taste to it, that is every household will plant a row of white sesame seeds behind the yard, fry them, boil them into a sauce, and it has become a major ingredient for stirring and stewing and enhancing the flavor and fragrance.

As for spicy seed oil, everyone knows it, but there are not many people who eat spicy food in Jiaodong, and more of it is reserved for the taste of foreign merchants.

The main and most difficult thing to do is this fish sauce soup.

It is said to be fish sauce, but it is not a valuable material to buy.

The only advantage of this by the sea is that you can always see fishermen sitting on the ground on the edge of the harbour, carrying a flat basket and selling their daily catch.

Among them, the cheapest ones are small trash fish that only cost a few boards a catty.

The stall owners who make snacks like to put two or three catties of ingredients on their stalls when the fish market is about to close.

As for this mobile cart stall that sells stewed seeds and noodles, there are as many as five or six kinds of dishes made with small trash fish.

And this fish sauce soup is made from this kind of small trash fish that is only the size of a finger, and a little bit of meat scrap, combined together, to make a thick soup.

Don't underestimate the worthlessness of other people's miscellaneous fish, but this fish soup has gone to the fishy smell and increased the flavor of the meat, and it has been simmered in a small crockpot for a whole day.

With this sudden and warm energy, he mixed it into the sesame sauce stew, and when Shao Nian ate it in his mouth, he was about to pour it into his mouth.

Speaking of which, eating stewed seeds is also interesting, because the frozen powder of mung beans is easy to break into two pieces with chopsticks, and it is really not convenient to eat.

Generally, diners who ask for stewed rice can get a special fork to eat stewed rice handed over by the proprietress to eat it.

Stir a wire in the middle, twist it into a double fork, fork it into a small square, hey, a whole piece of stew is trembling on it.

That's why this proprietress has this kind of expression now, she didn't give out any of the four small forks in her hand, and she saw Shao Nianshi with three and a half big boys, burying her face in the bowl, and she had already eaten a bottom.

"Old man, look at these hungry children, your noodles go down quickly!"

The boss who was guarding the big pot of boiling noodles was also amused, and he hurriedly scooped up a basket of clear yellow noodles into four separate bowls.

Do you think these four bowls of noodles were given to Shao Nianshi and his three children?

Wrong, very wrong.

Of course, a portion of noodles that is slightly more than the ordinary amount of noodles is divided into four small bowls, and the sauce in each small bowl is different, which is the ultimate essence of eating four noodles.

Therefore, the current four servings of noodles are actually prepared for Shao Nianshi alone.

It's just that he, as the eldest of the four people, is also equivalent to the existence of the boss, and it is a little inappropriate to grab food with a group of half-aged employees.

So, Shao Nianshi, who is quite patient with everyone, waited very generously for the arrival of the last part.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that this boss was holding two fences in his hands, he would be able to get two people out of the pot at one time.

When Shao Nian, who was only filled with stewed seeds, he might be able to eat the empty bowl in front of him first.

Thanks to this delicious and inexpensive noodles, it was very simple when he ate the pot, otherwise Shao Nian would have been defeated by a stomachache before he finished talking about the business here.

Let's take a look at how rare these four small bowls are in front of you.

Two cool and two hot, the distribution is quite even.

The two cools are fried noodles and sesame sauce cold noodles, while the second heat is lo noodles and clear soup noodles.

This adheres to the principle of cold first and then hot, and at the end of eating, my heart is warm.

When the last bowl of clear soup noodles and noodles with soup were poured into his mouth, Shao Nianshi sighed very satisfied, handed over two yuan to the boss, and ordered not to look for it, beckoning to take the three dolls to the location of the Fulong Inn on the same street as the Bohai Hotel.

It is also stained with the light of Bohai Hotel, and the second most opened on this street is the inn.

Some of the small merchants who have convenient transportation here or have cheap room rates are still very willing to choose their inns to stay in.

Let's not talk about how many opportunities can be found in and out here, let's just say that the fate that may be encountered by passing by those big people is enough for them to choose the location of their stay.

If Shao Nianshi wants to stay in the center of Qingcheng for a short night, Bohai Hotel is not impossible for him to stay in for his current status.

But as long as you think about the price of staying for one night, Shao Nian, who is still saving, will naturally choose a more economical inn.

In addition, he also has three children, so it would be a little bad if people rushed back overnight.

Therefore, it was the wisest choice for him to open two rooms facing each other in a place like Fulong Inn.

All three children were local children who were apprentices in their first trading firm.

For the children in the city who were apprentices, they didn't get a penny for working for the trading houses.

Rao is like this, the first trading house that manages food, housing and clothing is also the most popular place in the city.

Because of the kindness of the first master, during the Chinese New Year last year, each person was given a bag of two catties of multigrain noodles and a bag of three catties of dried salted fish.

In this troubled world, if you stutter, you save someone's life.

Who would be like Boss Shao, who would let someone do a little thing and give it real money?

Therefore, when Shao Nianshi sat down on the chair of the inn, the three children standing opposite him reported all the things Shao Nianshi had instructed.

Shao Nian, the errand boy who reported the news, didn't ask much, he mainly inquired in detail about the follow-up actions of the two people who were staring at Uncle Huang.

"Boss Shao, I inquired about those two people clearly, they are working in Jiaoao Daily. ”

One was the associate editor-in-chief, while the other was a columnist who had returned from Japan. ”

"They live in a big house not far from the daily newspaper. ”

"The people who come and go over there are cultural people who wear long shirts. Look, it's not much different from the professors in the nearby literary society and the club. ”
