Chapter 243: Food

Starting from Southwest City, Song Chen and Su Miao's first stop was Binhai City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

They had already visited Binhai City five or six times, except for the time when Song Chen took Su Miao to find Lin Jin and Xiao Jingyu before arresting the Hai Guoren, they were a little hurried at other times, and they couldn't appreciate the local customs. Even when they went out to sea, they only ate mackerel and prawns caught by their own fishing fleet, but in fact, there are many other seafood delicacies with local characteristics in Marina City. And that time, almost the whole time they came over, it was chef Su Miao, and this time their purpose was to play, so it was naturally better to eat the taste of the local restaurant or the locals selling it on the street.

Besides, Song Chen was reluctant to let Su Miao work so hard.

In addition to the mackerel and sea shrimp that the fishing boats specially caught because Lin Jin and Xiao Jingyu like it, there are actually many small sea fish, the most famous of which is the fish soup.

Compared with the other two seaside cities in Lannan, the geographical location of Binhai City can also be called special, because in addition to the sea, there is also a large river in Lannan that passes through the city and finally enters the sea. In the early days, Dalan's shipbuilding capacity was not as strong as it is now, and it could only be fished on the river or near the mouth of the sea, which was not like the fish that could be encountered when entering the open sea to fish now, and there were many kinds of fish that could be caught at that time, and the fishermen usually left some very small ones after selling their catches, and they ate no meat directly, but it was a pity to throw them away, so the fishermen threw these miscellaneous small fish into the pot and boiled them in water, even if there was no meat to eat. Drinking fish soup can also be regarded as making the most of it. But I didn't expect that the fish soup boiled by this mixed little fish was unusually delicious!

Later, the fish soup that the fishermen would cook in every household was favored by a business-minded daughter-in-law who opened an omnicery stall on the wharf, and was used to replace the broth and sell it to eat the special miscellaneous vegetables of the coastal city. Then by chance, it was tasted by a big merchant who came and went, and I never forgot it, and later when the big merchant was eating in the restaurant, he asked about this dish. The chef of the restaurant went to the omnivorous stall according to the instructions of the merchant to understand, and after coming back, he added a little perfection (the omnivorous stall uses small trash fish that cannot be sold, and the amount and type of fish used each time will be different, and the taste that comes out is of course not the same, and the price sold in the restaurant cannot be the same as that of the omnivorous stall, so it is natural to work hard in this regard), and change it to choose the fish that are known for their deliciousness to match each other, try to come up with the best ratio, and the size of those fish is also changed to medium. In this way, the fish can be eaten with a special sauce after the soup is drunk, and it will not be wasted. And the perfect match for the fish soup, the mixed vegetable wo wo tou, is also more delicious, not like the one sold in the omnivorous stalls, which is a bit rough and difficult to eat.

At this time, Song Chen took Su Miao to the Eight Fresh Workshop in Binhai City, and the first dish he ordered was this miscellaneous fish soup and wowotou.

Originally, the miscellaneous fish soup was a big nest of ground vegetables, plus the nest of heads, this dish was enough for Song Chen and Su Miao to eat, but when they came to Baxian Fang, they naturally couldn't just eat such a dish. Fortunately, the shopkeeper of this Baxian Fang is flexible, of course, the main reason is probably because Song Chen and they have the token of their owner in the capital Baxian Fang. Naturally, the amount of miscellaneous fish soup was changed to about four bowls, and the number of wowotou was also changed to three.

The shopkeeper personally entered the private room to greet him, and saw that Song Chen and Su Miao were familiar with each other, and knew that they were very familiar with the dishes of Baxian Fang, so he recommended the latest cuttlefish and shrimp balls in the restaurant that they should not have eaten yet, as well as braised large eel.

In the end, the new dishes recommended by the shopkeeper were all wanted, and they also asked for five or six dishes in the Eight Fresh Workshop that they had eaten before and had a better appetite. Originally, the shopkeeper saw that the fish soup they asked for was changed to a small plate, and when he saw that they had nine other dishes, he also wanted to remind them to see if they wanted to halve the amount of these dishes. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw a huge white figure turn out of the screen, with a huge brain, and that big black eyes, looking straight at him, although his expression looked a little innocent, but the body shape - it looked like it could easily knock people down!

The shopkeeper's words stammered when he reached his mouth, and changed to: "Are these dishes enough?" Do you need to order more? A live chicken or something? "With the size of this white lion, I don't know if I can be full after feeding it a few dishes, and these are cooked foods, such a big beast should eat raw meat, right? I don't know how it got in just now, but if it had been through the main entrance, it would have attracted the attention of the guys, even if it didn't cause a stir among the diners......

"Don't worry, my white lion eats cooked food and doesn't bite easily." Su Miao could see the fear in the shopkeeper's eyes, and comforted him, "That's enough." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly withdrew.

Where did Xiaobai enter the Eight Fresh Workshop? Naturally, it is from the window of the private room. In order to avoid being too eye-catching, Song Chen and Su Miao booked the private room before Song Chen went out from the window and returned to the house to bring it in.

Seeing the performance of this shopkeeper, Song Chen shook his head: "Next time, it's better to let Xiaobai follow you directly when you enter the door, lest it appear too suddenly, but it will be easier to make a fuss." "Originally, after they brought Xiaobai over, they kept letting Xiaobai hide on the side of the screen when the guy came over, but I didn't expect a shopkeeper to come later, and there were a lot of words, Xiaobai was also impatient to hide, so he came out directly to take a look.

If it was in a place such as Sylangor City or Lily of the Valley where they appeared for a little longer, people would have already been familiar with Xiaobai, and Xiaobai had no problem acting alone in the city, but this was in Coastal City, although they had brought Xiaobai a few times, but each time even they themselves rarely appeared in front of people, let alone Xiaobai. Otherwise, people with a little experience will know that this young man and girl with a mighty white lion are the two of them.

After the dishes were delivered, the first thing they did was to taste the fish soup and wowotou, Xiaobai's interest in fish soup and wowotou was average, but he ate a fish. The sauce specially made by the chef of Baxian Fang for dipping the fish in this fish soup really lives up to its name, but the simple ginger, shallots and garlic are fried with oil, but with a little vinegar, the taste of the boiled fish is brought to life. Su Miao can also be said to be good at cooking, but if she doesn't take some time to study this sauce, she can't make this proper taste to herself. I have to say that imagination is also needed when it comes to cooking.

The nest head of the Eight Fresh Workshop was very small, about the size of Su Miao's small half a fist. Because those who can enter Baxian Fang to eat, they will order fish soup and wowotou, not to fill their stomachs, but just to taste the taste, and when they are big, it is enough to eat this dish, so how do they do business? Song Chen only gave Su Miao a small bowl of fish soup and gave her half of the nest, just to prevent her from being full just by eating this, and she couldn't taste other dishes. The cuttlefish and shrimp balls are also well done, simmered in soup, which is more delicious and chewy than their previous cuttlefish ball soup. The taste of the long-legged crab meat seaweed dumplings is very special, but Su Miao's favorite dish is the braised eel!

The eel should have been fried in a slightly oil pan, the meat is a little firm, and there is a very organized taste when you bite into it, and the oil and water are enough but kept in a just right state, and it will not be greasy at all. The braised sauce is also well adjusted, very thick and a little sweet, Su Miao likes it very much, originally they planned to use the crab dumplings as the staple food, after eating the braised eel, Su Miao ordered rice again, which was used to mix the eel juice to eat.

Originally, there was only one bowl of rice, but seeing that Su Miao ate it sweetly after mixing it, Song Chen couldn't help but stretch out his chopsticks to dig a bite, and after chewing a few times, he pestered Su Miao to divide him in half. Su Miao had no choice, so she asked someone to send another pot, and the eel also added a plate.

It's really a big pot, considering that Song Chen's meal is not small, and Xiaobai seems to be very interested in this dish, this is prepared for this man and beast.

Su Miao ate a bowl of rice, ate a few more crab dumplings and was full, put down the chopsticks and began to take care of Xiaobai to eat. Although Xiaobai has been following them for a long time and has a close relationship with them, in view of its appetite, they still prepare its own food plate for it. And when she goes out, considering the perception of others, when she goes to the restaurant to eat, Su Miao also uses the food plate that Xiaobai carries on her back, instead of directly using the plate in the restaurant. After all, in the eyes of most people, there is a difference between man and beast, how can man use the same utensils as a beast?

This move also won the favor of Baxianfang. Originally, when Su Miao ordered a pot of rice, the guy thought it was for Xiaobai, and originally wanted to ask Su Miao if she should use another basin to fill it. Later, when I saw Su Miao take out a chic food bowl from the package and put it on the ground for Xiaobai to mix, I realized that I had misunderstood. But he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although this tableware was not used by himself, but watching the beast use it, and then thinking that the guest officer behind him would also use it, there would always be some discomfort in his heart.

On the first day in Marina City, they went to the Eight Fresh Workshop. The next day, Song Chen and Su Miao took Xiaobai to take a good walk around the street, and they also ate a lot of street snacks in Binhai City. Like the kind of fresh small cuttlefish that can be eaten in one bite, the whole one is just put in a hot pot and blanched with water for a while, then scooped up, put into a bowl and mixed with soy sauce with chili peppers, it tastes fresh and spicy, and there are a lot of fish roe in it, which makes people eat deliciously.

There are also various types of fish balls, large and small crabs, shrimp crickets, various conch shellfish and shellfish...... Because the summer harvest has just ended, although the past period of time has been difficult, but finally a balanced over, the joy of the harvest makes the people's faces smile again, there is surplus money in their hands, and it coincides with this is a market day, there are many people into the city, all come to join in the fun. Since the natural disaster, children's playful and food-loving nature has been restricted, and it is rare to enter the city, and parents have almost responded to their requests for compensation. Almost all the people walking on the street have some food in their hands, which is more lively than the past Spring Festival.

After walking around the street, not to mention Song Chen and Su Miao, even Xiaobai didn't have to eat, their stomachs were full, they returned to the house to rest for a long time, and then got on the horse and went to the next destination.

When they set off from Tairu Mountain Villa to walk the rivers and lakes, Song Henghuan once gave them a pair of twin horses, which were named Daxue and Xiaoxue. But since they went to the Sea Country, they have been kept in Tairu Villa, and they have been running around without taking them with them. And this time, when they went to Tairu Villa from Lily of the Valley City, they exchanged two horses.

Heavy snow, Xiaoxue and Xiaobai are also familiar, when they are on the road, they directly treat Xiaobai as the same kind, they should go, they should stop, they are not like other horses, although Xiaobai has always been very friendly, but they will always have a sense of trembling and fear.

From Marina City to the north along the coastline, the next city is Coastal City. As the name suggests, it is also a city famous for its seafood. Compared to Marina City, Coastal City has a larger fleet of fishing boats and travels deeper and farther. And the characteristic fish species are also different from those of Marina City.

Coastal City is mostly fresh goods, while Linhai City is more dry goods. Seafood such as fish maw, dried abalone, dried scallops, dried shrimp, and all kinds of pickled fish and salted fish, whole and cut into sections, look at it, and the fish is much bigger than that of Binhai City.

The difference between the street food stalls in Marina City is that the streets of Marina City sell all kinds of fried fish, smoked fish, and crab legs (yes, a leg crab in Marina City is half the size of a crab sold in Marina City). There are also those like Marina City, which are mixed with chili soy sauce after soaking water, but not the small cuttlefish, but the claws of the squid, and one whisker is more than twice as long as the small cuttlefish. If everything you see in Coastal City is small and fresh, then in Coastal City, it is famous for its large and meaty nature. Whatever you eat, it's like a mouthful of meat.

This feeling is especially liked by Song Chen and Xiaobai, walking on the street, Su Miao became the one who followed behind to pay.

There are too many delicious foods in Linhai City, and the portions are too big, Song Chen and Xiaobai want to taste them every time, but they linger there for three days just there.

Su Miao followed them every day, although she rarely took the initiative to eat something, but she couldn't stop Song Chen from thinking about her often! Every time he ate something that he thought was delicious, he had to stuff a little bit into Su Miao's mouth, and just like that, Su Miao had eaten too much unconsciously.
