Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt covers an area of more than 2,000 square meters, and the building of Wangfujing Snack Street covers an area of more than 1,000 square meters. Represents local food habits, customs.
However, it has another name in the hearts of locals, and that is "foodie's paradise".
Walking into the "Foodie Paradise" snack street, Zheng Xiuyan couldn't help but praise.
It's six o'clock in the evening, and the vendors are already open.
As far as the eye can see, there is a bustling street with no end in sight, and the streets are lined with vendors selling all kinds of exquisite snacks, shouting and shouting. The colorful lights on the vendors illuminate the place as if it were daytime, and the sound of food stir-frying, people's talking, and the shouting of the vendors all come together to form this extremely lively scene.
Standing in the middle of the road, Zheng Xiuyan could smell the aroma of food wafting from both sides, and couldn't help but make her swallow another mouthful of saliva. Hurriedly looked at both sides, corn tortillas, cross-bridge rice noodles, meat buns, fried noodles, donkey rolling, sour plum soup, lotus seed soup ............, there were countless foods she didn't know.
"What should I eat first?" Jung so-yeon was annoyed.
Eyes skimmed over a stall Zheng Xiuyan's eyes lit up, how could she forget this thing, and hurriedly picked up her luggage and walked where.
Walking to the side of the stall and looking at the skewers of lamb skewers that had been grilled on the barbecue grill, Zheng Xiuyan swallowed hard again. That's right, the table she's at now sells lamb skewers.
To say that she lived for more than 20 years in her previous life, she had eaten a lot of snacks, but mutton skewers were his favorite. Every time he goes to eat barbecue, he will order ten skewers, this thing is not only delicious, oily but not greasy, spicy and refreshing, and the most important thing is that the price is not expensive, generally two yuan a string, it is really a model of good quality and low price in his heart.
She hadn't eaten it since she was reborn, and now when she saw it for the first time, she couldn't help but tremble a little in her heart. It's been 12 years since I've been reborn, and many memories of my past life have begun to blur, and I'm used to my current life, and many things are familiar from my previous life, but now I have to see them again to remember.
Perhaps, this is the price of being born again, becoming no longer oneself.
Zheng Xiuyan couldn't help the gluttony aroused by the kebabs, and stretched out her finger to the mutton skewers and said to the boss: "Boss, how much is this lamb skewers?" ”
The boss just glanced at Zheng Xiuyan and stopped paying attention to her, lowered his head and continued to brush the oil on the meat skewers, and said in his mouth: "This is two skewers for one yuan." ”
"So cheap?" Zheng Xiuyan was stunned, but immediately reacted, the current price is not high, this is not the future generations, and the purchasing power of RMB is also several times that of the later generations, so it is reasonable to say that the mutton skewers are one yuan or two skewers.
"Then give me 10 skewers." Since it was cheap, Zheng Xiuyan was no longer polite, and immediately bought 10 skewers. By the way, I handed over a hundred of them.
"Okay, right away." The boss quickly made the meat skewers, and handed them to Zheng Xiuyan with the change after loading them.
Holding the mutton skewers, Zheng Xiuyan couldn't wait to stuff them into her mouth, feeling the taste of the skewers constantly stimulating her taste buds, and couldn't help but close her eyes intoxicated. She misses this familiar taste so much.
After eating a few skewers, she padded her stomach a little, and put the rest in her hand, and she began to move on to other delicacies.
As mentioned earlier, her physique is several times that of ordinary people, but this world follows the conservation of energy, and naturally her consumption is much larger than normal, and these consumption can only be replenished by food. So her meal is much larger than that of ordinary people. This is also a strange story in her neighborhood.
If she still debuted as a girlhood in this life, it is estimated that the title of God of Food will not fall to Cui Xiuying, and perhaps Da Yun's title will also become Da Da Yan.
With the lamb skewers in hand, she quickly walked to the other delicacies closest to her.
"Bean juice, fried noodles ............" Zheng Xiuyan started her big purchase, she bought a little bit of each food, after all, there are hundreds of varieties of food here, if you buy too much, you will waste it if you can't eat it all.
But that adds up to a lot, and by the time she bought them all, her hands were already in her pockets.
After finding a seat with not many people and putting down all the food, she began to eat as if no one was around.
But she was only full of the food in front of her, but the others were different.
It's July, the hottest time of the year, and when the internet is not as developed as it was in later generations, people now prefer to go out shopping with friends and relatives at night. And foodie paradise is a famous place in this neighborhood, so there are really a lot of people on this street now. Of course, when she saw Zheng Xiuyan with enough food in front of her to feed two or three adults, she was shocked when she was eating hard.
Seeing that the food in front of Zheng Xiuyan was rapidly decreasing, the eyes of the people around her were slowly widening, and even the voice of talking was getting smaller and smaller, and everyone looked at Zheng Xiuyan in surprise for a while, they really couldn't think of how the little girl ate so many things. Could it be that this is the legendary King of Big Stomachs?
"Hey, I'm eight points full." Swallowing the last bite of mutton skewers, Zheng Xiuyan patted her slightly bulging little belly with satisfaction, and said with a satisfied face.
"......" heard her say that she had only eaten eight points full, and the faces of the onlookers suddenly turned strange.
Why is it so quiet? After closing her eyes and digesting silently for a while, she felt that something was wrong, it was obviously very lively here just now, why was it so quiet all of a sudden.
Slightly opened her eyes and looked around, seeing that everyone was looking at her with strange faces, and then at the pile of remaining packaging bags in front of her, Zheng Xiuyan immediately understood the reason. These people were all suppressed by their ferocious eating appearance and astonishing appetite.
Zheng Xiuyan, who was watched by so many people, couldn't help but blush, lowered her head and didn't dare to look at people, this time she was embarrassed, she was stared at by so many people, no matter how thick her skin was, she couldn't resist it.
Seeing that the onlookers were still quietly looking at her, Zheng Xiuyan couldn't help it, and hurriedly blocked her face and squeezed away from the crowd and ran out.
It wasn't until she ran far away that Zheng Xiuyan breathed a sigh of relief, the scene just now really embarrassed her.
I touched my stomach again, and now she only had one last thing to eat, and she was done with today's task.
After searching for a while, she finally found this roast duck restaurant.
Peking duck is known as "the world's delicacy" for its red color, delicate meat, mellow taste, fat but not greasy. It is a famous dish that is well-known at home and abroad.
Peking duck is prepared in two ways, either by traditional hand-roasted duck and by modern machine. Now I finally chose a traditional storefront.
In her opinion, only the roast duck copied by traditional methods can have the taste of Peking duck that has been handed down from ancient times to the present, and although it is convenient and delicious to produce by machine, it has lost its unique taste.
Walking into this wooden house made of solid wood, even the air has an antique smell of wood, which makes her mood gradually calm down. Sit at the table under the guidance of the waiter and quietly wait for the arrival of the roast duck.
The efficiency of this shop is very fast, Zheng Xiuyan has not been sitting down for a long time before the roast duck has been presented, the color is red, the meat is delicate, and the roast duck exuding an intoxicating aroma makes her appetite very appetizing, and she starts eating it directly.
'Fat but not greasy, melt in your mouth' This is Zheng Xiuyan's feeling at this time, the delicious taste of roast duck made her mouth full of oil, and she almost stopped when she couldn't swallow it anymore. Leaning back on the back of the chair with a satisfied face, comfortably touching his little belly. This can be said to be the most enjoyable meal he has eaten in his previous life and in this life.
Drinking the free tea given by the hotel, looking at the remaining half of the roast duck on the table, Zheng Xiuyan was in trouble, the rest can't be wasted, but I really can't eat it.
At this time, Zheng Xiuyan saw a hand-drawn picture of a cat posted at the end of the restaurant, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, and she knew what the rest of the roast duck should do.
………………
Speaking of roast duck, Zheng Xiuyan checked out and left the roast duck restaurant, and walked straight to several unmanned garbage bins in the corner.
When Zheng Xiuyan approached the garbage bin, several skinny stray cats in the garbage bin came out vigilantly and ran to the distance to look at her vigilantly.
Seeing the thin appearance of a few stray cats, Zheng Xiuyan sighed inexplicably, it is not easy to survive any life in this world.
Squatting down, Zheng Xiuyan tried her best to put on a kind appearance, and shook the roast duck in her hand to the stray cat.
"Meow ......" saw the roast duck in her hand, and the eyes of several stray cats lit up, but they were afraid of humans, so they did not dare to come forward.
Zheng Xiuyan also noticed this situation, and directly put the roast duck on the ground, took a few steps back, and stood there quietly watching them. Seeing Zheng Xiuyan far away, the stray cats finally approached with peace of mind, and several cats gathered around the roast duck and ate it, which was an unavoidable meal for them.
"Hey." Seeing the stray cats gobbling up, Zheng Xiuyan sighed again and looked at them quietly, unable to return to her senses for a long time.
This world is cruel. The reason why I pursue strength is just to protect myself and the people I love in this cruel world. If you don't have the strength to be feared, you will live on the handouts of others like these stray cats.
