In the city of Dingye in May, the temperature is already very high, and the maximum temperature during the day can reach 34 or 5 degrees. Compared to the sultry heat of the day, the evening was much cooler, but it was also in the twenties.

Although many people choose to travel during the "May Day holiday", there are still many people who stay in the city, or the family goes to the street to enjoy the cool and leisure at night, or relatives and friends take advantage of the holiday to get together, or subordinates have a private banquet for their superiors.

Compared with the usual busy official reception, these days are mainly personal banquets, may be arranged to get together, or may be to visit relatives and friends to gather, during the "May Day holiday", the business of catering establishments in Dingye City is more prosperous, if there is no special relationship, and not booked in advance, some large hotels or specialty restaurants are difficult to have a location. Among the many restaurants that are difficult to find a location, it is even more difficult to order food in "taste".

Located on the outskirts of Dingye City, this restaurant called "Taste" is a specialty restaurant specializing in Hexi Province specialties. These specialties are not expensive, but the prices are not cheap, 7 or 80% higher than the prices of similar dishes in other local social restaurants, but they still make people linger and have a reputation far and wide. People love it because the specialties taste so good. Of course, this also requires the person who tastes the dish to be familiar with the taste of the dish. Usually the "taste" is very hot, if you don't book in advance, there is no place at all, even if you book in advance, some areas, some rooms are not everyone can book, especially during the "May Day holiday" during the difficulty of ordering a meal and add a "more" word. It's just six o'clock in the afternoon, and the restaurant is already full of traffic.

The security guard, who was directing the vehicle, suddenly saw an off-road vehicle with an ordinary license plate driving in front of the main entrance of the "taste", so he hurried over and wanted to let the vehicle park in the parking lot on the right. Just as the security guard arrived, a narrow slit fell through the passenger window of the SUV, and a card-like ID sticked out of the window. Seeing the "card", the security guard immediately changed his smiling face, hurriedly straightened up and saluted, and made a "right-turning" gesture. The passenger window rolled up and the car slowly turned to the right.

On the off-road vehicle, the driver of the car was a young man, the young man wore sunglasses, a Chinese face, and a separate head, it was Chu Tianqi, member of the Standing Committee of the Chengkang Municipal Party Committee and deputy mayor. In the passenger seat, there is a middle-aged man, who also wears sunglasses, also has a Chinese face, and is burly, which is Zhou Zikai, executive deputy director of the Dingye City Public Security Bureau. There is one person sitting in the back seat, with a square face, broad eyebrows, flat head, and the appearance of being less than 50 years old, who is Cheng Aiguo, member of the Standing Committee of the Dingye Municipal Party Committee and head of the Organization Department. The three of them are here today, it is Chu Tianqi who is a guest, Cheng Aiguo is the host and the only guest of honor, and Zhou Zikai is the companion. Although it was only to accompany him, it was also agreed by Cheng Aiguo, and Zhou Zikai still felt very honored.

It was Chu Tianqi's idea to eat in "Taste", but the room was set by Zhou Zikai. Although Chu Tianqi is one of the eleven giants in Chengkang City, and he is also a figure, and the departments and places under his jurisdiction have to buy it, but it will not work when he goes to Dingye City. However, Zhou Zikai eats a lot in Dingye City, especially the catering establishments need to rely on the public security system in many places, and he does not dare to neglect the de facto leader of the city bureau. But that's it, according to Zhou Zikai, this room was only set five days in advance.

Less than a hundred meters away, the SUV came to a bar, next to which there was a closed pavilion with windows, and there were people in the pavilion. Zhou Zikai took out the "card" and shook it gently, the gear lever was automatically raised, and the off-road vehicle drove over. As soon as the parking pole passed, Chu Tianqi and Zhou Zikai took off their sunglasses, and the car drove into the underground passage, which turned out to be the underground parking garage. Under the guidance of Zhou Zikai, the car stopped in the parking space, and the three got out of the car. Zhou Zikai led the way and entered the nearest elevator. Before entering the elevator, Zhou Zikai still swiped the "card" in the elevator induction area, and the elevator was opened.

There were only three of them in the elevator, and Cheng Aiguo said: "Zhou Ju, I'm very familiar with this place." ”

"Minister, in the past, I led a team here to conduct security checks. Maybe it's a professional habit, as long as I've been to a place once, I can write down the relevant routes, and the facilities on the road can be loaded into my head. Zhou Zikai explained, "This 'card' is a pass card for the restaurant, which is picked up by the driver when the driver comes to the restaurant after helping Xiao Chu book a room, and this card can also be taken out before dining." ”

Cheng Aiguo said "oh" and stopped talking.

The elevator stopped on the third floor, the car opened, and the three people stepped out of the elevator.

The waiter was about to ask, but he happened to see the "card" displayed by the guest, and hurriedly made a gesture: "Please here." ”

Follow the waiter a few steps, turn right, and you will come to a room with the name of "Unforgettable Taste".

After staring at the name of the room for a while, a smile appeared on the corner of Cheng Aiguo's mouth, shook his head slightly, and walked into the room.

Chu Tianqi and Zhou Zikai glanced at each other, followed in, and both of them saw a word from Cheng Aiguo's expression: exaggerated. Obviously, Cheng Aiguo thinks that the merchant's words are a bit big.

The room is not small, the middle is divided into two rooms with a modeling door frame, the outer room is a sofa, a coffee table, and the inside is a dining table and dining chairs. The room layout is more popular, I can't say anything bad, but there is nothing special about it. The dining table is small and can seat six, but now there are only three chairs, apparently placed according to the guests' request.

The three of them washed their hands briefly, and then sat directly at the table, and Chu Tianqi instructed the waiter to "start the dishes".

Cheng Aiguo said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, what is it that you said you invited me to eat delicious? Don't get those delicacies from the mountains and seas, I don't like to eat by nature, and I can't enjoy it." ”

"No, it won't. Chu Tianqi also smiled, "But I think you should like it." ”

"It's still a secret? I'll see. After teasing, Cheng Aiguo moved on to other topics.

The three of them chatted, mainly Cheng Aiguo, while Chu and Erren were loyal viewers, and occasionally responded.

After about ten minutes, there was a knock on the door, and then the waiter pushed the door and walked into the room, dragging a round tray with two large bowls on the tray.

Cheng Aiguo suddenly made a nose-snorting movement and looked at the tray.

The waiter put down the two large bowls and walked out of the room.

The bowl on the left is mainly thick strip pasta, the strip pasta is like noodles, but the color, shape, and length are obviously different from the usual white noodles, and they look much softer, and the strips are sticky with green onion leaves.

The large bowl on the right contains a light brown soup with black flakes and green leaves, as well as watercress and something like watercress, and the whole bowl of soup exudes a strong vinegar flavor.

Snorting again, approaching the big bowl and looking, Cheng Aiguo picked up the small spoon, scooped some strips of pasta from the big bowl on the left, and put them in the small bowl. Then pick up the small bowl and pull the strip-shaped pasta chop from the small bowl into your mouth. After a few chews, he quickly ate the remaining strips of pasta from the small bowl.

The spoon changed direction in the middle of reaching for the big wrist on the left, and went straight to the big bowl on the right. Scooping a few spoonfuls from the large bowl into the small bowl, Cheng Aiguo picked up the small bowl and drank it directly, smacking it lightly while drinking, and then nodded.

Putting down the small bowl, Cheng Aiguo looked at Chu Tianqi: "Xiao Chu, where did this thing come from?"

"Minister, how does it taste?" Chu Tianqi replied.

"Well, authentically. Cheng Aiguo said, turning his head to Zhou Zikai, "Zhou Ju, have you eaten?"

"It doesn't seem to be. Zhou Zikai shook his head.

"Really? As he spoke, Cheng Aiguo pushed the two big bowls forward, "Eat both." ”

Zhou Zikai looked at the other party, and also learned from the other party's appearance just now, and ate some of each. After eating, he nodded again and again: "Not bad, this pasta melts in your mouth, sour and spicy, this thin fragrance is refreshing, very delicious." ”

"It's delicious. I'll tell you how it's done. As he spoke, Cheng Aiguo pointed to the big bowl on the left, "This is called a flour lump, which is made of soybean noodles, and a little white flour is added to it." When making it, first add water to the pot and boil it into a paste, then pour it into a bowl and wait for it to solidify, and then divide it into strips and add seasonings. There is vinegar in this seasoning, chili oil, etc., and there must be no chili oil in the powder, otherwise it will be unimaginable like a woman getting married without makeup. ”

Then, Cheng Aiguo pointed to the big bowl on the right again: "This is called sour and fragrant ground skin, and the black thing in it is ground vegetables, and ground skin vegetables are also called ground ears, ground fungus, lichens, ground soft, and many more I can't remember." It grows in dark, damp places, and is initially gelatinous spherical and then expands into flakes. The green leafy substance is coriander, which mainly plays a flavoring role. It is rich in protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, etc., and also has the effect of nourishing deficiency and nourishing the liver and kidney. The ground vegetables are accompanied by coriander and balsamic vinegar, which is fragrant and pleasant, smooth and delicious. ”

"The minister is really knowledgeable. Zhou Zikai gave a thumbs up on his right hand.

"Where, where, it's just eaten before. After a pause, Cheng Aiguo cast his gaze on Chu Tianqi's face, "This is what you arranged?"

Chu Tianqi nodded: "Yes." ”

"What is this?" Cheng Aiguo continued to ask.

Chu Tianqi smiled and said, "Minister, don't worry, what's more, eat again, you can see if it's that taste." ”

While he was talking, the waiter came, this time two waiters came, each dragging two trays, each trays were two large bowls, a total of eight large bowls.

The waiter put the big bowls on the tray on the table one by one, and Cheng Aiguo's eyes moved with the big bowl, muttering quietly in his mouth as he moved.

After a careful look at it first, and then picking up the small bowl, Cheng Aiguo stretched out the small spoon to one of the bowls. Scooping up some things, Cheng Aiguo was about to eat, when he suddenly raised his head and smiled: "I'm sorry, I'll taste it for you first." ”

After saying "I'm sorry", Cheng Aiguo immediately tasted them one by one, and after tasting the contents of the last bowl, he smacked the taste: "That's it, that's it, it's a taste that will be unforgettable for a lifetime!"
