After sleeping until five o'clock in the morning, the rooster began to crow, and Liu Chan and the others came to the grass behind the inn under the supervision of Zhao Yun, smelled the chickens and danced, and practiced martial arts. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, the fog cleared, the wind and clouds disappeared suddenly, and the lightning and thunder of last night were gone. Through the hazy mist, it was suddenly found that the thunderstorm washed the endless sky very clearly, and the hideous night storm was gone, revealing the mesmerizing white of the fish's belly, exuding a warm and soft light, as if there had been a terrible electric cloud thunderstorm at all.

Beyond the gray battlements of Wancheng, there is a vast green and hazy field in front of you. Mountains and forests, rivers, houses, dignitaries, mountain and wild horses, small people, animals and livestock, all sleep in a sweet and quiet dream land in peace and comfort. Although after waking up, they are in their places, and they have returned to the difference between rich and poor, and the high and low are judged, and the high and low are distinguished.

The sun is still below the horizon, far from coming out, and although there is no wind, the air is extremely fresh, refreshing, and in a good mood.

When they returned from practice, it was already dawn at this time, and after packing up, Sun Wolf took them to a wine shop in the city. As soon as everyone sat down, the shopkeeper picked up Nanyang's famous snack - Xinye Zhenzi.

Liu Chan raised his eyes to take a look, only to see that the new wild Zhenzi was steaming, the aroma was tangy, the small square of beef and mutton was like agate, crystal clear, and there were green onions floating on it, the color and fragrance were complete, which made people's appetite move and open their appetite.

Liu Chan's stomach, which was hungry after practicing hard, was hooked by the food with an indecent sound, and he ate it impatiently, and asked vaguely while eating: "Brother Sun, is this the food above?" It's delicious! ”

Sun Wolf smiled: "This is called Xinye Zhenzi soup cake." Using beef and mutton as raw materials, the method is as follows: select tender beef and mutton with moderate fat and leanness, and cut it into cubes the size of grapes. Put the dried red pepper into the sesame oil and fry it until browned, when the color and flavor are included in the oil, remove the oil, dry it crisply, and crush it with a knife for later use. After the diced meat is fried in oil repeatedly until the meat pieces are set, the pat peppers, refined salt, spicy ginger and other condiments are mixed in at the right time, and the moisture in the meat is cooked over a warm fire. When the diced meat is evenly colored and jujube red, it is cooled off from the fire, refined in the process, skillful in the fire, and the finished product is fragrant but not greasy, spicy but not pungent, salty but not astringent, and delicious. When eating, take an appropriate amount of Zhengzi, add it to the vegetables and stir-fry it, the vegetarian dish has a meat flavor and a very good taste. When poured into the soup, it becomes a soup cake, which is very delicious. ”

"It was so delicious! This practice is exquisite. Liu Chan swallowed a big mouthful of shame and praised it.

Then he asked: "Then why is Nanyang's Zhenzi soup cake named Xinye Zhenzi soup cake?" ”

When Sun Wolf heard this, he suddenly stood up, arched his hand to the west, his eyes flashed with brilliance, his expression was solemn, and he was suddenly moved: "This soup cake has a lot to do with Uncle Liu Huang. ”

Liu Chan stopped his chopsticks, was dumbfounded, and said in surprise: "Where does this start?" ”

Zhao Yun raised his head, smiled slightly, did not speak, and continued to eat. Everyone else stopped and listened, especially Yan Shanxue, who pricked up his ears and listened.

Sun Wolf said with reverence on his face: "At the beginning, General Zhennan, Marquis Cheng Wu, and Mu Liu Biao of Jingzhou arranged for Uncle Liu Huang to garrison Xinye in Nanyang County to resist Cao Cao in the north. Uncle Huang is in Xinye, and Mr. Wolong, Guan Zhangzhao and others will share a great cause. One day in winter, the army was burying pots in the woods to make food, when suddenly a gust of wind struck, and the surrounding woods rustled, as if someone was neighing horses, and the soldiers mistook the enemy for an attack, so they hurriedly got up to meet the battle. After a false alarm, everyone smelled a strange fragrance and looked for the source of the fragrance. It turned out that in a panic, someone accidentally knocked over the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and other seasonings for cooking rice into the pot of stewed mutton. Zhuge military division and all the soldiers scooped up a spoonful and tasted it, and found that the taste was extremely delicious, and everyone praised it. This is the origin of Shinno Tsumiko's soup cakes. ”

"I didn't expect it to come from like this!" Liu Chan sighed in surprise.

He turned his head to Zhao Yun and asked, "Fourth Uncle, is there such a thing?" ”

Zhao Yun nodded with a smile and said, "What Sun Wolf said is extremely true. At that time, the army was full of difficulties, not only marching and fighting, facing one side and the other, with no fixed residence, but also burying pots and cooking and concocting food for tens of thousands of people, which was full of difficulties, resulting in poor food and low morale. Zhuge was deeply worried, and this time by chance, he helped him solve this problem. It was winter, and the contents of the spoon had cooled into lumps, so he immersed himself in research and trial and error, and the spoon began to become an emergency food for wartime. Later, this practice was brought back to their hometown by some retired soldiers from Nanyang. This is where the Shinno Shoko soup cake comes from. ”

Hearing this, Liu Chan was stunned for a moment, a trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Xinye Zhenzi soup cake in a daze. Because he was worried that the "beef brisket powder" and "beef bar" he invented would be robbed of the market.

When he was lost, he heard the infinite fascination in Zhao Yun's eyes, and he returned to the beacon fire years when he was in Xinye Jinge Iron Horse and Beacon Smoke.

He shook his head and said, "Although the new wild soup cake has its method, it has not obtained the essence. This taste is far worse than the authentic Shinno Tsuko. ”

Xiang Pet smiled and said: "Childe, although this soup cake is delicious, as the master said, it has no taste for its shape, and it is not as good as your beef brisket noodles and beef soup cakes." ”

Fu Tong also shouted: "Yes." It's still Childe, the beef brisket noodles and beef soup cakes you make are delicious, and you can say that you want to eat them once and twice. ”

"Yes. When will Childe do it again for us to satisfy our hunger? Everyone burst into laughter and shouted.

Yan Shanxue's eyes lit up, and she was even more excited, trotted over, patted Liu Chan's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Hey, Brother Chan, I didn't expect you to have this ability, looking for a chance to show everyone a hand." ”

After eating breakfast, Liu Chan and his entourage continued to move north.

Not long after leaving Wancheng, looking from afar, in the mist, I saw a huge buffalo, faintly lying on the horizon in the distance.

"Brother Zen, look, there's a big buffalo in front of you!" Yan Shanxue pointed at it with a bamboo shoot-like jade finger, with a look of surprise on her face, and suddenly exclaimed.

Liu Chan raised his eyes to see it, and sure enough, a majestic and unusually huge buffalo lay leisurely in the rising mist.

Surprised, Liu Chan couldn't help but sigh: "Could it be that this is the legendary Mighty Bull Demon King!" ”

"Idiot, sister, I'm joking with you! That's the famous Funiu Mountain. Yan Shanxue covered her face with her sleeves and smiled.

Liu Chan couldn't help but be stunned, and he also smirked with everyone.

Looking at the innocent Liu Chan and Yan Shanxue, Sun Wolf smiled and said, "Yes, this is the most famous Funiu Mountain in Nanyang. Its mountain range is large-scale, the mountain is extremely lofty, towering into the clouds, stretching for more than hundreds of miles from east to west, and more than dozens of miles from north to south, which is the branch of the eastern section of the Qinling Mountains. It is northwest - southeast direction, because the shape is like a lying cow, so it is called Funiu Mountain. (To be continued.) )
