Volume 1 Sword Shadow Chapter 40 Two Foodies
It is said that there are really a lot of delicacies in Huaizhou City, and the best thing to eat is not on the four streets connected by the four city gates, but all kinds of snacks in the alleys.
Huaizhou City belongs to the state capital, the city is not small, and the alleys in it are also innumerable. Without the help of a few men to eat, Xue Qing's food consumption alone is very limited. And the eldest lady has an advantage, that is, she doesn't like to waste food, although she has no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, she still has a shameful mentality of waste, and will eat all the delicious food, so after three days, the eldest lady has finished visiting Beicheng and is now going to Dongcheng.
Holding a string of sugar gourds, the eldest lady looked at the surrounding delicacies, and at the same time remembered the location of those delicious shops in her heart, and she would come to sweep the goods tomorrow.
"Sister, where did you buy this sugar gourd, it looks delicious?" The person who asked was a woman in pink, who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, and carried a delicate sword in her hand.
Xue Qing could see that the sword was a high-quality product, and it seemed that the other party was also a greedy young lady, so she turned around and pointed to the back: "There is an old man next to Shen Ji's steamed bun shop over there, his sugar gourd is sweet and sour, and it is very fragrant, it is different from other houses, it is very delicious." ”
"Thank you, sister!" The girl jumped up and ran over after speaking.
Xue Qing continued to walk forward, and suddenly saw a lot of people in front of her, and then a burst of fragrance wafted in, and Xue Qing couldn't help but walk up, it turned out to be a fragrance from a store. Xue Qing stepped forward to take a closer look, and the store read: "Wang Ji Cake Shop".
The pastries had not yet been baked, and the shop was already full of people. The guy was directing the crowd to line up: "Thank you for your kindness, our cakes are about to be baked, please line up and come one by one." There are a lot of cakes made today, everyone has it, everyone has it! ”
It turns out that this is Wang Ji Cake Shop, and it really lives up to its name, this taste, fragrant; That's a lot!
Xue Qing looked at the sugar gourd in her hand, and she could still eat it for a while, so she patiently lined up.
"Sister, can you help me buy a rose sesame cake and an egg fresh meat patty?"
"Huh? It's you again! Xue Qing looked at it, isn't this the girl just now, and now she is holding a string of big sugar gourds.
"Yes! Sister, the sugar gourd you said is so delicious. It's just that...... Can you buy me two for me? ”
"Okay, just stand next to me." For foodies who are about the same age as herself, Xueqing still likes it.
"Thank you, sister!" The girl and Xue Qing squeezed together, "Sister, you are really knowledgeable, the cakes in this Wang Ji Cake Shop are a must, and you have to queue up for a long time every day to buy them." It's not that I'm just bored, I want to buy a few to eat first, this is already so many people in line, fortunately, I have my sister here. ”
Xue Qing smiled: "I came here smelling the fragrance." ”
The girl also smiled: "People in the same way, people in the same way!" The first time I came here smelling the fragrance, I will never forget it after eating it once! ”
At the recommendation of the girl, Xueqing also bought a rose sesame cake and an egg fresh meat patty, and when she took a bite, it was crispy on the outside and crispy on the inside, and her lips and teeth were fragrant. Two cakes under the stomach, Xue Qing rubbed her stomach, it seems that today's battle is over, just go shopping, eliminate food, by the way, write down the delicious food, and buy it tomorrow.
However, when she had walked for about half an hour, and was about to return home, a vague fragrance wafted in, but she could not move.
Following the scent, Xue Qing turned around, walked through the streets and alleys, and finally stopped at a wonton shop.
This is a very small shop, the owner of the house on the side of the street set up a small bamboo shed, in the shed put three small square tables that can only sit four people, a corner of the shed pulled a piece of cloth, written "wonton" two words.
An old couple was on one side of the bamboo shed, cooking wontons on a small stove, and a pot of soup was boiling on the stove, and the fragrance wafted from there.
Xue Qing rubbed her stomach again, she had been walking for half an hour just now, and it seemed that she could still eat a little bit. She ran to the old couple with a smile: "Grandpa, give me a bowl of wontons, I want the smallest bowl, just a few." ”
The old man looked at the girl and replied with a smile: "Little girl, my old man's wontons are good and cheap, you can eat them at ease, if they are not enough, I will give you a few more." ”
Xue Qing said embarrassedly: "I'...... I'm not hungry yet...... The ravioli are so fragrant...... Want to try it...... It's a pity that you can't finish eating too much......"
"Okay, little girl, you go sit down for a while, and you'll be fine soon!"
There happened to be an empty table, and Xue Qing sat down there. Soon, a pink figure appeared opposite her again, and the girl sat down directly opposite Xue Qing: "Sister, we really have a fate today, let's take a seat!" ”
"Okay!" Xue Qing readily agreed, this girl is really a fellow practitioner!
At this time, the old man brought up the wontons, and a large bowl was full.
"Grandpa, this ......"
The old man smiled and said, "Eat, little girl!" ”
Seeing the pink-clothed woman on the opposite side staring at the bowl of wontons, Xue Qing asked, "Grandpa, can you give me another pair of chopsticks?" ”
"No problem!"
"Sister, I think you ate so much before, and you can't eat much now, let's share this bowl of wontons."
The woman in pink smiled: "Sister, you are so caring!" I was just wondering if I could just buy half a bowl, it would be a waste to not be able to finish such delicious wontons! ”
Soon the old man brought the bowl and chopsticks, and added some soup to the bowl very carefully. Xue Qing picked up the spoon, scooped half of the wontons into another bowl, and handed it to the woman in pink, who ate it unceremoniously.
Xue Qing scooped up a mouthful of soup with a spoon first, and took a sip gently, the soup was pure white and thick, the entrance was fresh and smooth, and there was a slight sweetness of the ingredients, which was refreshing and not greasy. This is snakehead soup, and there are snakehead slices in the soup, which has completely removed the fishy smell and is quite fatty.
Xue Qing scooped up another wonton, and the shell teeth gently broke a small opening, and the delicious soup suddenly overflowed. After sipping the soup dry, Xue Qing began to eat the wonton in small bites.
This wonton soup is made of snakehead with various kinds of mushrooms, and the trap is made of pork and black chicken, no wonder it is so fragrant and delicious. The fragrance is seductive but unassuming, faint but endless.
The woman in pink was also observing Xue Qing while eating, and when she saw Xue Qing's eating appearance, she knew that although this sister was a foodie like her, she was also cultivated, and she was not stupid, and she would not talk to strangers casually.
Although both foodies were not hungry, they even finished eating the wonton with soup. The two rubbed their stomachs, looked at each other, and laughed.
The woman in pink smiled: "Sister, I didn't expect to meet you when I went out shopping this time, it's so good!" Let's go shopping together, shall we? ”
"Okay!" Xue Qing rubbed her stomach and said, "But sit down for a while and walk slowly." ”
"Well, good! Sister, how long have you been in Huaizhou City? I've only been here for six days, and there are so many delicacies here that I haven't eaten them all yet! ”
"I've only been here for three days, but the food in Huaizhou City is really good."
"Sister, let's go shopping together in the future, and if the two of us share the delicious food, we can eat more!"
"That's what I thought too! Eh, sister, I think you should also be a young lady from a big family, why don't you call someone to buy it for you to eat? ”
"Hey, it's cold when I buy it, how can I eat it deliciously! Like this wonton, if you take it back, you will get tired of it and lose its taste! ”
"That's right, snacks still taste the best!"
"Sister, I'll just say that we are fellow believers, and I won't be afraid of being bored with you with me in the future. My brother, the bad guy, wasn't happy to come out with me. ”
At the mention of this, Xue Qing flattened her mouth: "My bad guys don't come out with me." ”
Seeing that someone was coming again, Xue Qing was embarrassed to occupy the position anymore, and pulled the woman in pink up. She was about to settle the bill, but saw the woman in pink take out a piece of broken silver and give it to the old man.
The old man hurriedly explained: "Girl, a bowl of wontons costs ten cents, and I can't find the girl's silver!" ”
The woman in pink smiled: "Don't look for it, keep accounts, I'll come back next time." He looked at Xue Qing again and said, "Sister, don't be polite to me, I thank my sister for helping me buy cakes." ”
Seeing that she was refreshing, Xue Qing didn't squirm, thinking that tomorrow she would invite the woman in pink to eat other delicious food.
