Chapter 554: The Dog Ignores
After coming out of TJ Port Auto Trade City, Zheng Xudong went straight to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel located at No. 167 Dagu North Road, HP District.
The reason why he wants to live in Ritz-Carlton is because Zheng Xudong is a super VIP customer here, when he was in the United States, the Ritz-Carlton hotel manager in New York sold his housing information to the CIA, and then was attacked by the CIA agent killer, this matter was caught by Zheng Xudong with conclusive evidence, so the Ritz-Carlton Group in order to calm Zheng Xudong's anger, in fact, it was Ivanka who came out for Zheng Xudong to ask for the statement, after the hotel board of directors discussed to compensate Zheng Xudong 8 million US dollars and give Zheng Xudong a super VIP card of the hotel, enjoy the 6.5 discount treatment of the hotel directors, Zheng Xudong in line with the idea of being cheap and not taking advantage of the bastardBasically, as long as there is a Ritz-Carlton hotel in the city he goes to, he will stay, and this time he came to TJ is no exception.
When he came to the outside of the hotel, Zheng Xudong was attracted by the architectural appearance of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, the entire hotel exterior wall is red, like a castle, there are corner towers in the four corners, the corner tower is the kind of Gothic spire, just look at this corner tower is a bit like the Kremlin, it looks very magnificent, spectacular, calm from the outside.
Zheng Xudong still wanted to choose to live in the presidential suite, but unfortunately the presidential suite was booked out, so he had to book the Victorian executive suite, which is second only to the presidential suite.
A few days ago, the admissions teacher of the Chinese University outside the capital personally called him to tell him that August 26 was the last day of the university report, so that he must come to the school to report before this day, Zheng Xudong saw that today is only the 22nd, there are still four days, time is in time, just stay here for two days while waiting for the procedures of the Audi A8L, while playing in TJ.
To say that TJ is probably the most famous Goubuli bun that is famous all over the country, if you don't eat an authentic Goubuli bun here, you won't be able to come to one.
I heard the local people say that the most authentic is the time-honored store on SD Road in Quanyechang.
Zheng Xudong and Tang Luoyong didn't drive the bulletproof armored car, because it was easy for people to watch everywhere it went, so they simply took a car to eat steamed buns, and before going Zheng Xudong put on makeup, pasted a mustache on the upper lip group, and then painted a few age lines and freckles on his face.
When he got there, Zheng Xudong was glad that he didn't drive the bulletproof armored car, because this is the old Cheng District, the street is the kind of two-way two-lane, and there are cars parked on both sides of the road, and the old buildings in the sixties and seventies are on both sides of the street.
This place, which claims to be the head office of Goubuli Buns, is located opposite the Friendship Xintiandi shopping mall. Three-storey building, the outer door face is the kind of antique building, there is a plaque with gold characters on a black background hanging in the middle above the gate, and there are three big characters on the book "Dog Buli", it is said that this plaque is an "old object", which emperor of the Qing Dynasty inscribed, but Zheng Xudong definitely did not believe it, because his father, who studied ancient Chinese language, told him that in the ten years of turmoil in China in the sixties and seventies, those Hong Xiaobing had basically smashed the "old objects" on China's bright side, and they even smashed the Confucian Temple and Kong Lin, and they would let go of such a plaque!
His father told him that most of the monuments in Chinese mainland are built later, or later repaired and maintained, except for the place names that are true, and almost all the monuments left by the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China have been destroyed.
After entering the store, the first floor of the decoration is antique, but it does not sell steamed buns here, it tells the history of the inheritance of Goubuli, the second floor is the business hall of the real Goubuli steamed bun shop, and the third floor is a private room.
When Zheng Xudong came, it could be regarded as a dinner in the evening, so there were more people, and finally he and Tang Luoyong sat down with a pair of mother and daughter from Enshi, Hubei Province, and sat down to order the most famous pork stuffing in the store, three fresh fillings, and other seafood fillings, sauce and meat fillings and vegetarian fillings. In addition to the steamed buns, Zheng Xudong ordered a few side dishes, because neither of them drove, so he ordered a few bottles of beer, the brand of beer here is the brand of Goubuli, this is the first time Zheng Xudong has heard that a steamed bun shop can have its own brand of beer, maybe this is the only one in the country.
When the buns came up, Zheng Xudong found that almost none of the people sitting around were TJ locals, all of them were tourists from other places, and even if there were locals, they were accompanied by friends from other places to come here to try it.
It may be that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, not to mention how expensive this bun is, in short, Zheng Xudong didn't think this bun was delicious, and it was not even as fragrant as the bun he ate in the street shop, and the price of this bun, Zheng Xudong came all the way, the price of this bun is the most expensive he has ever eaten, three fresh stuffing costs 48 yuan a cage, a large bun with pork stuffing costs 68 yuan a cage, and a cage of eight buns, which should be almost enough for two people to eat, it depends on the size of the meal.
Soon Zheng Xudong and Tang Luoyong finished eating the two steamed buns in front of them, and each drank another bottle of beer with the side dish in front of them. When the waiter told them that they wanted more than 290 yuan, Zheng Xudong felt that the money was spent the most ruthlessly he had ever been slaughtered, two steamed buns, two bottles of beer, three small boiled vegetables, and 300 yuan less. In the end, he gave TJ and even the famous snack dog in the country a comment in his heart: "What a special thing!"
Out of the head office of Goubuli buns, I walked out of a taxi quite far away, and as soon as I got in the car, the enthusiastic taxi driver said: "You two just ate Goubuli buns!"
The driver's eldest brother opened Zheng Xudong's chatterbox and turned on the spit function, and the taxi driver's eldest brother listened to Zheng Xudong's complaint and finally said: "We locals will never go to the dog to ignore the steamed buns, in the words of the locals, the fool only goes to the dog to ignore the steamed buns! Only tourists from other places come to volunteer to be slaughtered, which is expensive and not delicious." We locals eat steamed buns and go to Lao and Youngle Steamed Bun Shop, Lao Niao City Jiang Ji Steamed Buns, Chen Fool Restaurant, Jinmen Zhang Ji Steamed Bun Shop and other places. If you don't have any food, I can take you two to the nearest and most famous old and young bun shop for a meal. β
To be honest, Zheng Xudong is really not full, how can he eat with a basket of steamed buns with his amount of food, but he really doesn't want to eat anymore in the Goubuli head office, there are many people, the service attitude of the waiters, alas, how to say it, the service attitude is generally to praise them, it may be that there are too many tourists and they can't be busy, and then a brand that their dog ignores has been created, it doesn't matter if you come back to eat them or not, anyway, there are many tourists.
Zheng Xudong immediately agreed with the driver's eldest brother's opinion, and said to the driver's eldest brother: "Driver's brother, why don't I charter you for a two-day car, you take our brothers to visit the authentic TJ scenic spots and snacks, you eat and drink are counted as ours, and then you can count the fare." β
The taxi driver was also very happy when he heard it, and said happily: "Okay! Little brother, since you speak so cheerfully, I won't grind, the fare is 2,000 yuan a day, I'll take you to visit the authentic old TJ, how about it? You are from the magic capital, and you may not be willing to look at the high-rise buildings in TJ New Town, no matter how well that thing is built, it may not be better than your magic capital, you say yes?!"
"Okay! Deal, that's it. Zheng Xudong sat on the back seat of the car and slapped his thigh and said happily, "Let's go eat authentic TJ buns first and go!"
Sure enough, the old and young Le Bun Shop that the taxi driver said is not far from the Goubuli Bun Shop, which is at the west gate of Nanshi Food Street in the HP District, and the locals call this place Hotel Street.
The biggest feature is that it is clean, open kitchen, a three-meter-wide and two-meter-high large tempered glass behind which you can see the master wearing snow-white kitchen overalls wrapping buns with various fillings. How enthusiastic the TJ people are can be seen from the chatter of the taxi driver sitting opposite Zheng Xudong, Zheng Xudong can be regarded as taciturn compared to him.
"The bun skin is not fancy butter sugar coating golden butter fried, it should be white and clean and simple; the eighteen pleats should be well-behaved and meticulous; whether the bun filling is pork and green onions or pork three fresh, the meat must be ranked first, and it must not be cheated and slippery, and the cart must be turned upside down; ginger rice and minced green onions must be fresh, and the proportion of salt, oil and water is appropriate. So, don't take buns for dry food, don't take buns for your profession. Only by doing the above can you have the opportunity to become a classic, pure, culturally connotated, ordinary and vulgar, out of low-level taste, and beneficial to the general public. β
I went and listened to the taxi driver's eldest brother's divine words, Zheng Xudong felt that his soul was about to be sublimated.
"A plate of steamed buns and a bowl of wontons, this is the standard for breakfast. The black word for wontons is called "small stuffing", as the name suggests, it is made of leftover bun filling, one pack is folded, and then an egg is beaten. Seeing that the driver's eldest brother was a little thirsty, Zheng Xudong hurriedly asked the waiter to serve a bottle of locally produced Arctic Ocean iced soda, opened it and handed it to the eldest brother, "Take a sip to relieve the heat, and then continue." β
The driver's eldest brother was not polite, so he drank half a bottle first, and continued: "As for eating steamed buns at noon, it is another kind of exquisiteness. First of all, let's dish the shaved bone-shaved meat left over from the broth, and then take the wonton broth before serving, like haggis soup, dipped in Sanhe oil and eat. Two more plates of steamed buns that have just come out of the pot, and Lao Li'er will give a bowl of millet porridge. The hot stuffing of the bun drips on the porridge, and the chopsticks and the flute and the flute are sucked in a bite. Steamed buns, wontons, deboned meat, millet porridge, the "Four King Kongs" of this TJ steamed bun shop are endless, the combination is ever-changing, and no matter how you eat, if the price is only a few yuan around 2,000 yuan, now the price of everything has risen, and the price of steamed buns has also risen a little, but each person can eat for more than a dozen yuan. The taste of steamed buns in your mouth makes you just want to praise the beauty of socialism. β
Finally, before the bun came up, the taxi driver's eldest brother leaned forward and whispered to Zheng Xudong and Tang Luoyong: "
It is important to note that no matter what time of year, the bun shop must always see someone making buns. If not, then the rest of the pot may be back to the oven steamed buns, and the TJ people don't eat themβwhat's the matter? My own steamed buns, you can go back to the pot to cook them when you have leftovers, but your store will give me your leftover steamed buns, that's not good! Not to mention let me spend dozens of yuan to eat a steamed bun? And force me to order dishes other than millet porridge, dismantled meat, and small stuffing? Two guest officers, only this kind of cheap big buns just out of the pot in the alley belong to the taste of TJ people. As for the steamed buns that have changed knots (stretched out his finger and pointed in the direction of the goubuli bun shop), I won't eat them even if they are killed. β
