Chapter 271: Old Cui's Beef Soup
Although the old man Qin is not in good health, he likes the snow scene in the mountains and fields very much, although his granddaughter repeatedly persuaded him, he is still willing to walk by himself, blowing the cold wind to face the fine snow, and when he walked to the set, he was sweating lightly......
When passing by a beef soup restaurant, Old Man Qin's stomach gurgled, and after Li Qingyun heard it, he remembered that he seemed to have forgotten whether this group of guests had eaten breakfast, after all, they came from the provincial capital, and they should have gotten up very early.
"Old man Qin, this old Cui's beef soup is one of the special snacks in our town, since my grandfather's generation, I heard my grandfather say, the big iron pot at the door has not been broken, and the taste of his family can make people reminisce for a lifetime. In the past, some people said that he added a large tobacco shell to the soup, but later someone from the county came to check it and worked hard, but nothing was found, and finally it was over. ”
Later, Grandpa chatted with Lao Cui and learned that someone coveted the secret recipe of his beef soup, so he deliberately asked people to check, and there was no trace of the recipe in the soup, so he gave up. ”
Old Man Qin was already hungry, and as soon as he heard Li Qingyun say something interesting, he said, "Oh, since you have come to your Qinglong Town, you can't miss any delicious food." Let's go in and taste it, I'm just a little hungry. ”
There is an earthen stove on one side of the door of the Cui family's beef soup restaurant, which is still the kind of primitive coal-burning, and you can also add firewood, and as soon as you get close, there is a feeling of heat. The diameter of the mouth of the large iron pot is more than one meter wide, which is the largest iron pot in the countryside, and it is very thick.
There is a layer of red pepper floating in the pot, the oil is shiny and bright, and you can smell a rich beef aroma from a distance, spicy and mixed. It's the most appetizing.
There are several small clay pots on the side of the pot, which are filled with coriander foam, green onion and garlic foam, which is very fresh. Served with the must-have shredded tofu, vermicelli or vermicelli, a bowl of fragrant beef soup can be served.
The boss is in his fifties, with a strong body, a red face, and very mentally healthy. Invite them to a large table.
"A few distinguished guests sat down first. How many soups are you going to want? Do you want steamed buns? Do you want beef?" The boss estimated that the dress and temperament of these people were not ordinary villagers, and they spoke politely, and they responded very cautiously and carefully, wanting to leave a good impression on the guests.
The crowd didn't know much about the situation here. Yang Yunu also came less. Unlike Li Qingyun. When I was a child, I didn't eat and drink here. may have grown up less, and he has also changed, but Boss Cui didn't recognize him.
"Boss Cui. According to the old rules, a bowl of soup is served with a bun, and beef and offal are cut for another 100 yuan. Put more coriander foam and green onion and garlic foam, and bring us a small half bowl of chili oil, and we will mix it ourselves. Li Qingyun said.
The old man was stunned for a moment, generally others call him Boss Cui, or Lao Cui, this young man calls him "Xiao Cui" a bit too much. However, this title reveals a hint of familiarity and calmness, and it seems to be shouted so often.
He stared at Li Qingyun's face and looked at it carefully, and then suddenly, he suddenly patted him on the shoulder a few times, and said with a smile: "Haha, it turned out to be you little ghost? I've heard that you've returned to the village to make money, so why don't you come to our shop to sit down? Uncle can still lack you a bowl of beef soup to drink?"
Li Qingyun's grandfather and his father are friends of the same generation, although Li Chunqiu is only ten years older than him, but Boss Cui is very respectful, it is an uncle, so the generation is so decided. The reason why Boss Xiao Cui is so grateful to Li Chunqiu is because when his mother gave birth to him, she had a difficult birth and hemorrhage, and almost died.
The older generation of people have ten thousand memories of saving their lives, and they dare not forget, although the gratitude that Xiao Cui learned from his father and mother over the past many years is still strong.
Counting up, at that time, Li Chunqiu's medical skills had just become a small success, and it was the first time to become famous for saving their mothers.
"It's not that I'm afraid that my uncle won't be able to take care of it, but I'm afraid that my uncle won't take money. Today I invite friends in the city, don't be too polite, give up the capital to give me a discount, I don't dare to bring friends again. Li Qingyun said with a smile.
"You're not as interesting as you were when you were a kid. At that time, when I came to eat and drink, I screamed from a little Cui, and the uncle was the happiest in his heart. Boss Cui sighed, but his subordinates kept stopping, and they had already put the scalded soft vermicelli and thousands of bean skins in the soup pot to shabu, like dragonflies with three points of water, and it was scalded in an instant, adding two spoons of beef soup with chili peppers, sprinkled with a handful of coriander foam, onion and garlic foam, and the color and fragrance suddenly came out.
At this time, the guests need to serve it themselves, and only when they are free, the boss will serve it himself. It's not like in the city, where someone brings it to the customer. Therefore, in this store, one person is enough, and Xiao Cui's wife and children are not used to help. When it was time to rotate, Cui's wife would come to the store to work, but his children rarely saw him when he heard that he was doing business in the city.
A few bowls of beef soup were quickly served, and the 100 yuan beef offal was placed in a small coarse porcelain basin, which could be used to clip the chopsticks into your own bowl. Ordinary beef soup is only 5 yuan a bowl, which is very cheap, and the beef is thinly cut and put in less. If the customer wants to eat more beef, add money and meat.
Li Qingyun remembers that several beef soup restaurants at the entrance of the university have risen to 12 yuan a bowl since the beginning of their freshman year, and by the year they graduated, they had risen to 20 yuan a bowl, and the beef in them was as thin as paper, and the taste was so low that they could only pour chili oil and vinegar into the bowl.
And the bowl of beef soup in front of me, I took a sip gently, the fragrance was pure, spicy and delicious, and after a few sips, I felt that it was all hot from the inside out, and it was so spicy that the tip of my nose sweated lightly.
"It's really good, it's so spicy. "Old Man Qin usually doesn't like spicy food, but as soon as he drank the beef soup, he couldn't stop, and almost drank the soup in the bowl in one go, so he took a breath, ready to slowly eat the remaining vermicelli and thousands of tofu skins.
Seeing this, Li Qingyun smiled and said, "Old man, you drink slowly, you can add soup after drinking." If you don't have soup, you lose your taste. ”
A steamed bun is a leavened dough that is baked in a pan. But the inside is soft, the skin is slightly oily and slightly salty, and when you take a bite of the soup, it is full of steamed buns and beef aromas. Even if you accidentally eat chili peppers, you can quickly stop spicy cough with steamed buns.
A steamed bread is as big as a plate, and it is just right for an adult to eat a steamed bread and drink a bowl of soup, the first time the old man Qin ate this thing, he felt that it was very fresh, and it was delicious, and when Boss Xiao Cui filled him with soup. A bun has already been half eaten by him.
He saw Li Qingyun pour some hot sauce and spread it on the steamed buns. It's also the same, and it's not too ugly to look brown at all. Qin Mingyue was strong a few times, and when she saw that her grandfather insisted, she had no choice but to follow him. In his heart, he was annoyed that Li Qingyun brought his grandfather into such an unhygienic shop.
Although Wang often walks around in Sichuan and Shu. But it's also the first time I've eaten such an authentic beef soup. I didn't have time to speak at all, until I ate all the contents of the bowl, and then I smiled: "Finally full." Fortunately, I didn't eat the xiaolongbao on the side of the road in the morning, otherwise I wouldn't have the stomach to eat such a delicious beef soup. ”
Yang Yunu looked at everyone with a smile, and helped Li Qingyun put a few slices of beef in the bowl from time to time, she felt that these rich people in the city were very easy to fight, and a bowl of beef soup made them happy.
And Hu Dahai and Jiang Qinqin have come to this beef soup restaurant, Yang Yunu brought them here, although they think it is delicious, but they have passed the stage of being amazing everywhere. In addition to saying a few words from time to time, he also drank soup with his head bored, but he couldn't eat the steamed bread, because the breakfast cooked by Li Qingyun was no worse than the beef soup here.
After eating and drinking, Li Qingyun settled the account. Boss Xiao Cui was humble for a long time, and he didn't charge money, but when he saw Li Qingyun insisting, he said that he wouldn't dare to come after he didn't collect money, so he reluctantly accepted the cost of 100 yuan, and the extra dozens of yuan, but he didn't charge anything.
Although there was still a light snow, there were still a lot of people rushing to the market, bypassing the lively bazaar, walking three or four miles forward, you saw a patch of hills of similar height, and there were two villages nearby on the left and right sides of the hillside group, although a little off, but it was better than settling down in the middle of the hillside here.
It is very dangerous to go up the mountain on a snowy day, and even people who are familiar with the road do not dare to walk around, because if you are not careful, you will step on the air and fall into the cliff.
At the foot of the low hill, there is a large barren meadow with the natural imprint of ravines and ravines, and a few people parked their cars, pointed to the place where the fluffy bushes were covered with snow, and took a few photos.
Hu Dahai came crazy, ran a few steps forward, rolled on the thick snow, and shouted loudly. However, before the end of the note fell, he plopped and fell into a small snow-covered ditch, although there was no water, only about a meter deep, but Hu Dahai screamed in fright, startling a pheasant foraging in the grass.
"Wow, there's a big bird that's so stupid, boy, let Hai Dongqing catch it. Qin Mingyue didn't recognize pheasants, but it didn't prevent her from seeing the fat of this "big bird".
The king whistled and let the little Hai Dongqing on his shoulders fly, this Hai Dongqing was trained by him, and with a long roar, it swept out like a white light, and caught up with the pheasant in a blink of an eye.
The pheasant screamed in fright, flapped its wings, and struggled in mid-air. But Xiao Hai Dongqing grabbed it by the neck, but it still struggled, and finally lost its balance and fell from the air to the snow.
The wings of the two birds fanned the snow everywhere, and entered a fierce struggle on the ground, and the pheasant only lasted for dozens of seconds, and seemed to have used up its strength, and was pressed to death by Hai Dongqing in the snow, waiting for the master to pick it up.
Wang laughed proudly and said in front of Li Qingyun: "How is it, the Hai Dongqing I trained is okay, right?"
Li Qingyun pursed his lips and said with a smile: "That's because I didn't let go of this one in my hand, as soon as it made a move, it didn't have anything to do with your little Hai Dongqing." If you don't pick it up, if you don't go, let my hound go and bring this pheasant back. ”
Wang showed off Hai Dongqing's hunting skills for the first time in front of others, how could he let others interfere, and suddenly said: "I'll just go by myself." Cousin, remember to take pictures of me, and you can also take videos. ”
As soon as Jiang Qinqin pulled Hu Dahai out of the snow nest, he heard Yang Yunu point to a small black dot in the distance and say, "Cousin, let go of the two bald people, there was a hare that had just crawled out from behind the bushes." ”
It turned out that when she saw Wang showing off, she felt uncomfortable and wanted her boyfriend to win back a game. She herself doesn't care about winning or losing, but she cares about winning or losing between men. (To be continued......)

After work, I didn't feel tired before, but now when I'm sick, I feel a little unbearable. This chapter lasted for more than three hours, my head was confused, the plot couldn't be connected, and I was in a very bad state.
