013 First Meal of Meat
The owner of the mobile stall is quick and agile with his hands and feet, and his smooth movements fly up and down, pulling beautiful lines, like works of art, which is pleasing to the eye, and the spiritual energy at his fingertips makes the picture in front of him full of magic, and people can't help but start to make up the taste of food.
Then, Hoden watched as the boss neatly pulled out two wooden skewers, took off the meat skewers one by one, and put them all in a small roll, like a popcorn cone, inserted a wooden skewer, handed the roll to the guests next to the mobile stall, and said with a smile, "A total of five toots, thank you for visiting." β
Five-to-pi?
When it comes to the price of a light rail ticket and a newspaper, it doesn't seem to be so expensive that it's unacceptable.
"Hey, how about a snow deer? one three-to-horse, two five-to-horse. β
The owner of the mobile stall noticed Holden's figure, standing in the crowd of people coming and going, like a little girl selling matches, he took the initiative to pull up the business with a smile on his face, "I can guarantee, this is snow venison from the Fanli tribe, be careful, it is so tender and sweet that your tongue may swallow it together." β
"Good morning, do you need a snow deer for breakfast? How about starting the day in a happy way? β
During this period, Holden did not respond immediately, the boss was still greeting the crowd coming and going next to him, turned his head, looked at Holden again, and the smile on the corner of his mouth completely bloomed, "Sir, do you need a snow deer?"
"This is the snow deer of the Fanli tribe, every year in late autumn, in order to reserve energy, the snow deer will start to eat and accumulate fat, and can increase up to one and a half times the weight in summer. Due to their weight gain, snow deer are difficult to run and are good for captivity, and in winter, the people of the Van Li will feed them fragrant mushrooms and beans until the beginning of spring before being slaughtered. β
"Because I run on the plateau wilderness all year round, the meat of all parts of the snow deer is very tender, and the males are even better, so I marinate them with fruit wine, honey, and spices, and then cook them, these seasonings are ground into powder from the ganati fruit, which can retain the freshness of the flesh and leave a fragrant taste on the lips and teeth......
As he spoke, the boss showed a big smile, "Two copies, no problem!"
At this point, Hoden realized that he had already taken a scissorhands pose and was proposing his order to his boss before his brain could make a decision.
In just half a morning, Hordon had already spent five tories, and now he only had three kiss and one toke left in his pocket, which meant that he had to break one.
But even so, Holden is still very sure: some expenses are necessary.
He took out a Keith and a tray from his pocket, put them in the palm of his hand and looked at them carefully:
The copper-colored sheen is a slightly smaller one, with the word "One" painted on the front and a double-headed eagle with a crown on the back, the totemic symbol of the Empire of Leia.
The silver-glossed Ichith is slightly larger, with the same number on the front, while the back depicts a profile portrait of Theo Ryuch, the current ruler of the Leia Empire.
Rubbing the fingertips of your thumb and fingers, you can feel the lines on the surface of the metal currency - since smartphones and mobile payments began to dominate life, the memories of coins in your pocket swaying and swaying with the bouncing movements seem to be sealed in the dust of childhood memories.
"Be careful, sir. The thieves in the neighborhood are watching all the time, and they don't even want to let go of a single horse. β
The boss in front of him reminded Hoden in a friendly whisper.
Holden's eyes were raised, and it was only now that he had time to look at the young vendor in front of him, who looked no more than mid-to-late twenties, wearing a chestnut-colored overall, on which there were many oil stains clearly visible, but his smiling face remained fresh and clean, and there was a faint simplicity between his eyebrows.
Holden smiled at the other and thanked each other.
The other party also returned a smile, and then handed the prepared snow deer to Holden, "Thank you for coming, I hope this snow deer can bring you some happiness." β
"I'm looking forward to it, too. Hodden said with a smile, took a Keith to the other party, and after taking the snow deer, he couldn't wait to stuff a piece into his mouth and savor it.
The boss held the change in his hand, and he didn't urge Holden, so he looked at Holden with a smile:
It seems that as long as customers can enjoy their food, that's the best thing in the world.
After Holden swallowed the first piece of snow deer, the boss put the seven toops in Holden's palm.
Feel the slightly hot snow deer in the palm of your hand, and the aroma lingering under the wings of your nose...... The most important thing is that this is the first meal of meat in twelve hours! Hodden felt that he had finally come to life, and he closed his eyes slightly, and a faint touch jumped on the tip of his tongue.
At this time, the drizzle had slowly stopped, but the sky was still not clear, and the gray clouds were firmly shrouded in the sky, as if it might rain again at any time, but the raindrops were not a problem to worry about for the time being, the road paved with cinders was, the wet and sticky ground, the footprints were deep and shallow, and the shoes were soon stained with mud and dust.
"Did you hear that? The price of wheat has risen again. The trade route to Karg is temporarily impassable due to a small campaign, and it is not known when it will end. β
"Well, what I heard is that the head of Ludwig is in control, and the trade route will be able to reopen in two weeks at the latest. I've stocked up on potatoes for a month, and I'll be able to get through them for the rest of the year. β
"Is that really the case? I hope that Captain Ludwig will have a smooth victory. β
There are two carriages parked on the left hand side of the street, one of which is washing the horses, while the other is struggling with a cigarette fart/strand in his mouth, refusing to abandon it like that, and the chatter and chatter mingle into the noise of the street, piecing together into a corner of the city.
Two workers in dark gray overalls walked past the carriage in the dust, trotting briskly, their faces full of "late" worries, and the bustling crowd didn't helpβeveryone was in a hurry, and there was really no way to give in to others.
"Come on, you can do it, don't worry. Father and son passed by, and the father was gently patting his son's shoulder to cheer him on, but the child's pale face was not much relieved, and the dark green shirt and dark brown suit were hanging ill-fitting on the thin shoulders.
They passed two young women, one in a long aqua dress with a light brown fur jacket, the other in an off-white lace shirt and a light green shawl, from hats to clothes to makeup, both of them carefully dressed up and faintly out of place with the hustle and bustle around them.
But if you look closely, you can see that the puff on the cheeks is a little cheap and faintly grainy, and the shoulder line and cuffs of the coat can also be slightly worn, even if it is carefully stored, it is difficult to hide the grind of life, not to mention the muddy shoes - a real aristocratic lady does not need to walk on her own.
Not far on the right-hand side, a young woman is selling sandwiches for breakfast, she makes a small drawer-shaped container, then attaches ropes on both sides, hangs it around her neck, lifts the container with both hands, and shows people her handmade breakfast-
Those who need it can pick it up and drop it in the change compartment in the corner.
Howlen couldn't help but wonder: I wonder what the sandwich tastes like, is there meat in it, and if so, what kind of meat will it be?
