Chapter 101: True Fragrance
This "uninvited guest" is naturally the living treasure Han Ling, and Ji Qing and Wei Dan, who were forcibly pulled in by her.
The reason why they are called "uninvited guests" is actually because they were directly let in without paying the entrance fee.
Although the cost is not high, it is nothing more than the cost of one gold, but it is very strange that as soon as the town soldiers heard their identities revealed, they politely told them that if Ji Qing was in the list, then there was no need to pay the fee.
However, it is necessary to make a note of the admission by virtue of favors, and next time Ji Qing will have to pay the fee himself.
Ji Qing was confused at the time, feeling that as long as he reported his name, he could "enter the Yishui River for free"?
Lao Ling, he is too good at doing business, others have to charge, but he doesn't charge, but he has to owe him a favor......
"Zhongchen, look at it, there are a lot of delicious things here, I heard that this night market street was set up by the Ling Mansion, oh yes, didn't you say that you knew someone from the Ling Mansion before, why are you embarrassed to come here?" Han Ling whispered.
"Well...... It's not that I don't want to come, I'm afraid that the things sold here will be expensive, I've been short of money lately, and I don't have time to eat these things......" Ji Qing scratched her eyebrows, a little embarrassed.
"If you don't have money, I'll just bring you to eat next time, I'm not short of money, master." Wei Dan patted him on the shoulder very righteously, looking like a stinky fart of "Big brother I will cover you in the future".
"Okay, okay, since you're here, how can you not find something delicious?" Han Ling smiled.
"Duck blood soup, freshly baked duck blood soup, welcome to taste. At this time, a stall selling duck blood soup appeared in front of the three of them.
"Duck blood soup?It sounds very good, how about it?, should we try it?" Han Ling tugged at the corners of the two of them's clothes.
"Duck blood soup, a food that I have never heard of before, I don't know what it tastes like...... Wei Dan was a little skeptical about how this duck blood soup was made.
Ji Qing was dumbfounded, Lao Ling, you are really a money-making genius, did you make up the duck blood soup?
Duck blood soup is a famous flavor snack in Nanjing, and there are fewer vermicelli than duck blood vermicelli soup. It is made by adding duck blood, duck gizzards, duck intestines, duck liver, etc. to duck soup. The taste is fresh and fragrant, refreshing and pleasant. Duck meat has high protein content and low fat content, which not only has the effect of nourishing blood, but also has the effect of moistening the intestines and laxatives, and a bowl of duck blood soup meets the needs of the whole family, especially suitable for the elderly.
Duck blood soup is the prototype of duck blood vermicelli soup, which contains duck blood, duck intestines, duck liver, duck gizzard and other foods, during the Qing Dynasty, some people put vermicelli into duck blood soup, the soup is fragrant, and the appearance is excellent, resulting in duck blood vermicelli soup.

Legend has it that the origin of duck blood soup is because a Nanjing man used a small bowl to fill his blood when he killed a duck, and he was reluctant to throw it away, but the vermicelli fell into it and got dirty.
Helplessly, he had to cook the vermicelli and duck blood together, but unexpectedly, he actually burned the first bowl of duck blood vermicelli soup, only to smell the aroma of the soup, attracting countless passers-by to speculate on how this delicious soup was cooked.
When a rich man heard about this, he named him a professional chef to cook duck blood vermicelli soup for the rich man and his concubines, and his descendants got this delicacy......
I didn't expect to see such delicacies from later generations after crossing.
"Let's try it, people who come out to do business at night will never smash their own signboards, right?" Ji Qing said and strode over.
"Shopkeeper, bring me three bowls of duck blood soup. ”

"No more...... There are so many people here, I really can't walk, let's just sit here and drink a bowl of tofu brain. Han Ling was a little hard, of course, her mouth was hard, because she was concentrating on dealing with the few fragrant xiaolongbao in her mouth.
Coincidentally, there were still a few empty tables in the shop of this tofu brain, so he hurriedly pulled Ji Qing and Wei Dan in to "take refuge".
The three of them found that the further they walked to the back of the street, the more lively and crowded they became, and they had been crowding in the crowd since just now......
"Boss, is there any salty tofu brain here?" Ji Qing asked.
