"Big brother, your two mutton steamed buns" A little girl with long braids brought a bowl of mutton steamed buns and came to Chen Haipeng and Wang Qiang and said.

She is said to be a little girl, but she is much stronger than the king.

Chen Haipeng took the bowl in the little girl's hand, handed it to Wang Qiang, and said, "You eat first."

Wang Qiang knew that the second bowl would come up immediately, so he didn't be polite to his uncle Chen Haipeng.

Mutton steamed buns are a delicacy in northwest China, but among the many mutton steamed buns in the northwest, the mutton steamed buns from Sanqin Province are the most famous. Mutton steamed buns, known as "yokan" in ancient times. It has a history of more than 2,000 years since the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty.

In fact, there is a long-standing story about mutton steamed buns, which is related to an emperor like the allusion to Zhu Yuanzhang's "Pearl Jade White Jade Soup". This emperor is Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. It is rumored that the mutton steamed bun was invented by Zhao Kuangyin, at the end of the five dynasties, Zhao Kuangyin was not ambitious, penniless, and poor. Once, when he was wandering in Chang'an City, he was so hungry that he bowed his head and begged a bakery for baked cakes to eat, and the shopkeeper saw that he was pitiful, so he gave him the two baked cakes left a few days ago. But after a few days, the pancake became dry and hard, and I couldn't bite at all. When Zhao Kuangyin was frowning, he smelled a burst of meat aroma, and it turned out that there was a mutton shop opposite that was cooking mutton. Zhao Kuangyin went to the mutton shop again to ask for a bowl of mutton soup, and broke the dry and hard baked cakes into small pieces and soaked them in the broth. Unexpectedly, this bowl of yakiniku absorbed the aroma of the broth, and the broth softened the pancakes. This bowl of mutton steamed buns made Zhao Kuangyin feel feverish, hungry and cold, and his spirit was shocked.

A few years later, Zhao Kuangyin added a yellow robe and became the emperor, eating too much delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, and feeling tasteless in his mouth. I remembered the bowl of mutton steamed buns that warmed his whole body back then. immediately recruited the imperial chef to do it, but the imperial chef did it several times, but it failed to satisfy Zhao Kuangyin.

Once Zhao Kuangyin went out to inspect, traveled to Chang'an, and unconsciously came to the place where he wandered last time. Zhao Kuangyin smelled the long-lost smell of meat, his appetite suddenly increased, and he went straight to the mutton shop after getting off the royal court, and asked the store to make a bowl of mutton steamed buns for himself, and the shopkeeper was surprised and delighted when he saw the emperor. But the baked cake shop has long been closed, so the shopkeeper let his wife burn a few baked cakes, and was afraid that Zhao Kuangyin would think that it was a dead bread (not fermented), so he broke the baked cakes into pieces, boiled them in mutton soup, put a large piece of mutton after coming out of the pot, plus spinach, vermicelli, sprinkled with green onions, and finally dripped a few drops of bright red chili oil.

When the steaming and fragrant mutton steamed bun was brought to the emperor, Zhao Kuangyin tasted it, as if he had found the feeling of the year again, and immediately put down the emperor's shelf and feasted in the stunned eyes of the ministers. After eating, Zhao Kuangyin felt comfortable and rewarded the store.

Overnight, the news that the emperor came to Chang'an to eat mutton steamed buns spread in Chang'an. Many people came to eat, so the store changed the mutton shop to a mutton foam shop, because there were too many people to come, and it was too late to break the buns, so the customers were allowed to break the buns themselves, which gave birth to a lot of fun.

Although Wang Qiang is small, he eats mutton steamed buns, and he eats all the big bowls every time in his memory. The mutton steamed buns in Xinghua Town have to be broken by themselves, and the steamed buns in the county town have been broken in advance and used directly.

The bun used for mutton steamed buns is five or six centimeters thick, and it is a large cake with a diameter of about one meter and five meters, and there is a little seasoning in it. The flatbread is divided into small fan-shaped flatbreads with a knife, and one small fan is just enough for a bowl. The bun is very hard, and it tastes average when eaten directly, and it is specially used to soak mutton.

In the previous life, when Wang Qiang became an adult, he went out to work and ate mutton steamed buns from all over the world, but he felt that they were not as delicious as the mutton steamed buns in Xinghua Town. Even many of the mutton steamed buns in Anxi City, the capital of Sanqin Province, are halal, and they do not have the original flavor of Sanqin mutton steamed buns.

Wang Qiang's mutton steamed bun hadn't eaten two bites, and his uncle's also came up, and then the little girl who had just served the mutton steamed bun brought two plates of sweet and sour garlic.

The two uncles and nephews ate sweet and sour garlic and mutton steamed buns, and no one spoke again.

By the time the two uncles and nephews came out of the mutton restaurant, they were already burping.

"Qiangqiang, how is it, is it okay?" Chen Haipeng asked with a toothpick through his teeth.

"It's okay," Wang Qiang also took a toothpick and bit it in his mouth, and said.

"What do you mean by okay, do you still think this mutton steamed bun is not delicious?" Chen Haipeng stopped and asked.

"It's delicious, it's delicious, but it's a little worse than the mutton steamed buns in our town," Wang Qiang said, "The mutton steamed buns in our town, although the steamed buns have to be broken by themselves, but the meat in them can be chosen by themselves."

The mutton steamed bun in Xinghua Town, the mutton is boiled by a whole sheep, and customers can choose where the meat they like to eat, and there are also mutton liver, mutton blood or something. Wang Qiang likes to eat, every time the mutton is cooked, the small minced meat that falls from the sheep. Because these meats are more thoroughly cooked and have a more flavorful taste.

"That's right, mutton steamed buns are still delicious in our town" Chen Haipeng also ate mutton steamed buns in the town, admitted.

"Uncle, let's go, go rent a place" Wang Qiang gritted his toothpick and walked forward.

"Throw away the toothpick, be careful if you fall and insert your mouth," Chen Haipeng saw his nephew Wang Qiang biting the toothpick and said hurriedly.

Hearing his uncle Chen Haipeng's words, Wang Qiang really almost fell.

"Uncle, haven't you seen the true colors of heroes?" Wang Qiang threw away the toothpick and asked back.

"I haven't seen it," Chen Haipeng said with an innocent face.

"Forget it," Wang Qiang said helplessly.

Seeing Wang Qiang's expression of internal injury because of his words, Chen Haipeng was secretly refreshed.

"Little brat, I still learn from Chow Yun-fat," Chen Haipeng said secretly.

The two of them returned to the corner by the Qixing River, and Chen Haipeng walked into a hardware store on the first floor of the building just now, and asked Wang Qiang to wait outside.

"What do you want?" asked a woman sitting behind the counter, sipping melon seeds there, and saw Chen Haipeng.

"Hello, eldest sister. I want to rent an upstairs room, I don't know if you have a contact number," Chen Haipeng asked.

The middle-aged woman looked Chen Haipeng up and down, then looked at Wang Qiang who was standing outside the store, and said, "What business is my brother going to do?"

"I want to open an Internet café," Chen Haipeng said with a smile.

Hearing that Chen Haipeng was going to open an Internet café, the middle-aged woman smiled a lot more, and said with a smile: "The eldest brother is a rich man, but it costs a lot of money to open an Internet café?"

"I don't have much money, it's all borrowed," Chen Haipeng said with a smile.

"I should have a phone here, I'll find it for you. Big brother, what hardware equipment do you need to use to open an Internet café, just come to me, eldest sister will give you a cheaper" The middle-aged woman stood up, took out a notebook from the table next to her, flipped through it, and said.
