Chapter 129: The Road is Long

Recently, I've been reading an old text on farming, which is very famous, called "Little Landlord", which is talking about all kinds of folk delicacies for a long time, and the three teas have been more or less affected, and this chapter has a bit of a delicious meaning, everyone makes do with it, and occasionally changes the style of writing, which is conducive to alleviating aesthetic fatigue......

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The car was about to drive to the vicinity of SP City, and it was almost noon, Xu Xiaobai found a roadside restaurant to park and took Xiaoqing to eat. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Although it was noon, the temperature was still low, and Xiaoqing fortunately changed into the sportswear that Xu Xiaobai gave her, so she was not frozen.

The two sat down and ordered a few side dishes to eat for a while, the cuisine of the Northeast is mostly the spread of Manchu cuisine, although after many years of transformation of the Han people in the eastern part of the country, there is still a shadow of the Manchus. Today, the Northeast cuisine has become a family of its own and is very recognizable. Xu Xiaobai didn't know what was delicious here, so he asked Xiaoqing to have some of it.

Xiaoqing walked to the counter, there were pictures pasted on the white walls on both sides, and the photos of all kinds of dishes that could be done in the store were hung up, this is the characteristic of the Northeast restaurant, there is no menu, the photos posted on the wall are the menu, who orders what, just look at the pictures, simple and straightforward.

Xiaoqing ordered a pot of meat and a pig-killing dish, and then returned to her seat. Xu Xiaobai was slightly stunned and asked, "Just two dishes?" Is it enough to eat? ”

Xiaoqing laughed and said, "You outsiders, you don't know the characteristics of our Northeast cuisine. The amount of our dishes is very large, and it is estimated that we will not be able to eat both of the two dishes, so I will order more miles. ”

Xu Xiaobai still didn't believe it, but after a while, when the meal was served, he couldn't help but not believe it. Looking at the two big sea bowls full of vegetables like a hill, Xu Xiaobai said, "So many! ”

He looked at the pictures on the wall, and saw that this pot of meat was only 30 yuan a plate, and the pig-killing dish was a little more expensive, only 40, and the two dishes added up to less than 100 yuan, but it was far from what he could eat. Today, when I looked at the posture of these two dishes, I finally understood that there is really no shortage of food for people here, and these two dishes have to be more than 200 yuan to have such a weight when they are put into GD.

Xiaoqing looked at him in a daze, and couldn't help laughing: "Dumb goose, why are you stunned, hurry up and eat, it'll be cold in a while." ”

Xu Xiaobai moved the dishes and chopsticks. Pot-wrapped meat, formerly known as "pot fried meat", comes from the special chef of Harbin Daotai Mansion Yin Du Xueying, "Binjiang Dining Ancestor" -- Zheng Xingwen. Because it is fried quickly with a rapid fire, the iron pot is heated, the juice is poured into the pot, and it is soaked into the meat, so it is called "pot fried meat". Russians pronounce the sound of "burst" as a bag, and after a long time, "pot burst meat" becomes "pot wrapped meat". Before the Xi'an Incident, because the three eastern provinces were under the jurisdiction of the Zhang family, many dishes in Daotai Mansion were forbidden and private. After RB occupied HLJ, Zhang Xueliang's control over some areas in the northeast gradually loosened, some folk crafts and food recipes gradually flowed out, and pot wrapped meat also began to circulate in Harbin and abroad. This dish is almost a household name in Northeast China, and later Northeast restaurants opened all over the country, and this pot of pork has become a popular home-cooked dish throughout China. However, far away from the place of origin, the taste is inevitably out of shape, Xu Xiaobai once ate pot wrapped meat made by a restaurant known as authentic Northeast cuisine in YN Lijiang, that guy, sour and sweet or not, the noodles are not fried thoroughly, sticky like a strip of leather, he can't tear it off with a bite, and he can pull his face when he lets go, which makes him have a very bad impression of Northeast cuisine.

But the pot-wrapped meat he ate today was very crispy, sweet and sour, and suddenly made him understand that the real pot-wrapped meat turned out to be this kind of taste, Xu Xiaobai couldn't put it down and ate more than a dozen pieces, and then he felt satisfied.

Xiao Qing saw that he liked to eat pot-wrapped meat, and a touch of smug flashed in his eyebrows: "What's the matter, isn't our food here great?" Don't just eat this, try that pig-killing dish. ”

The real pig-killing dish is not a single dish, but a collective name for a series of dishes. Originating in the countryside of Northeast China, after the harvest in autumn every year, people slaughter the fat pigs at home to celebrate the harvest or before the Chinese New Year, and make various dishes to entertain their neighbors. Usually a family kills a pig, often entertaining people from a village to eat, and the family takes turns to kill the pig, and people can eat a good meal for a month. Every part of the pig's body, pork bones, head meat, shredded meat, pork belly, pig blood sausage and "lantern hanging (a full set of pigs in the water), can be made into a pig-killing dish, typical garlic white meat, garlic heart meat, bone-breaking meat, sauerkraut stewed white meat blood sausage, etc.

Although this Northeast restaurant is cheap and affordable, it still has to make money after all, so Xiaoqingdian's pig-killing dish is not a series, but just a sauerkraut stewed white meat and blood sausage. Pork is pork belly, fat and thin, blood sausage is a large casing filled with pig blood, rich flavor, coupled with sauerkraut to relieve greasy, the thick soup in the cauldron to enhance the taste, this big bowl of pig killing vegetables, stunned Xu Xiaobai seems to feel the rich taste of the New Year.

Xiaoqing actually has a limited amount of food, she ordered these two dishes mainly for Xu Xiaobai to eat, and she just tasted it herself, so she put down her chopsticks. Xu Xiaobai ate it all the time, and it was worth eating two sea bowls to the bottom, so he put down his chopsticks and burped contentedly. Xiaoqing looked at him funny, as if she knew Xu Xiaobai for the first time: "I didn't expect you to be so able to eat, do you have such a large amount of food as a soldier?" ”

Since the two met, Xiaoqing has tacitly acquiesced that Xu Xiaobai is a soldier, of course he didn't bother to refute, but when he heard this, he still defended a few words: "It's true that the food is delicious, it's not that I can eat it, whoever comes to eat such a good dish won't let go." ”

In fact, he is a person who practices martial arts, and the amount of food is already generous, but these days he has been sleeping in the open and living a life of exile, but because of his low mood, his amount of food has been affected, and he only eats a little bit of food at every meal, and his body has long been short of energy. Finally in this small restaurant in the Northeast, Xu Xiaobai found the amount of food in the past, and then ate two bowls of Jingguang.

The boss came over to meet the money, Xu Xiaobai and Xiaoqing got up and went outside, although the temperature was lower, the noon sun was so comfortable that people's chests and backs were comfortable. Xiaoqing stretched out in satisfaction and said lazily: "It would be great if I could live a lazy life like this." ”

Xu Xiaobai frowned, and said in his heart that he had already spent a little too much time eating just now, so he should not delay any longer, and said to Xiaoqing: "When you find the snow ginseng, you will naturally live like that, but for now, we still hurry up." ”

Xiaoqing looked at him angrily, and said in her heart that this person is really a wood, and he only has snow ginseng in his head, snow ginseng, is his life so monotonous? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but become curious again, and couldn't help asking, "Who are you going to find Xue Shen to save, your wife?" ”

Xu Xiaobai was slightly stunned and nodded.

"What's wrong with your wife? Do you have to snow ginseng to save your life? Isn't it good to see a big hospital? Did you go to the hospital in the imperial capital? What about the big hospitals in Shanghai? ”

Xu Xiaobai felt that she had asked too much, and glanced at her coldly, Xiaoqing immediately closed her mouth, Xu Xiaobai didn't say anything, turned around and got into the car and started the car, rolled down the glass and beckoned to Xiaoqing: "Get in the car." ”

Xiaoqing obediently climbed onto the Land Rover, and said in her heart that this man actually doesn't have a temper, but for some reason, when he mentioned his wife, he immediately looked cold, it seems that his wife must have a disease that is difficult to treat, otherwise he would not be sad like this. Maybe it's a terminal illness, well, it must be a terminal illness, and the big hospitals say that there is no way to treat it, so he will go to find that snow ginseng, maybe this is an unreliable old Chinese medicine doctor who prescribed it, just like his uncle, a barefoot doctor who has not seen him for many years.

Forget it, it's not easy for people. Thinking about his big brother, and then looking at Xu Xiaobai in front of him, Xiaoqing finally suppressed the urge to ask again, and sat quietly, looking at the scenery flashing in front of her.

The car drove out a hundred kilometers again, Xiaoqing was a little drowsy, indeed, after lunch, he bumped on the car again, and sleepiness couldn't help but hit. At first, she was still holding on, but then she couldn't help it, leaning on the back seat and squinting sleepy, until the car slowly stopped, and the inertia made her body lean forward slightly, Xiaoqing woke up, rubbed her eyes, and looked at Xu Xiaobai blankly: "Is it here?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but be happy: "Look at me, I'm sleepy." It's only been a long drive, and it's still 2,000 kilometers away from my house. ”

Xu Xiaobai pulled the handbrake, unfastened the seat belt, and said, "I want a small relief." Then he pushed the door and got out of the car.

Want Miss? Xiaoqing's mind was still a little confused, and she said in her heart that Xu Xiaobai was not such a man. Then he patted the door of his head and said to himself: "You pig brain, what kind of nonsense are you thinking." ”

Xu Xiaobai got out of the car and walked to the side of the road, looked at both sides, felt that it was still not very safe, and walked forward for a while, and arrived at a small forest on the side of the road, and then leaned against the big tree and began to release water. After finishing his work, he returned to the car, saw Xiaoqing looking at him with a look of embarrassment, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"I'm going to give you a little relief, too." Xiaoqing is a little distracted.

"Then you go." Xu Xiaobai thought to himself that people have three urgency, what is there to be embarrassed about. After thinking about it, I suddenly understood that it is not as convenient for girls to do this as a man, and there are no public toilets around, let alone public toilets, and there is not even a hidden place.

He thought about it for a while, there was already a way, bought a marching tent from the supermarket system, beckoned Xiaoqing to get out of the car, and the two walked all the way to the depths of the forest, he set up the tent in twos and threes, and said, "You are right here." ”

Xiaoqing was a little happy when she saw that he was thoughtful, she was not a pretentious person, so she went in immediately. Xu Xiaobai helped her control the wind outside, lit a cigarette and smoked slowly, and within a few seconds, Xiaoqing's soft voice came from inside: "You go farther." ”
