"And what is this bracelet-like thing?" Erina Nagikiri put aside the sour and astringent gray-green thick bean juice and took a turn to take a look at the snacks that were brought along. Pick up a focal circle and make a gesture on your wrist.

"This is called 'Jiaoquan', which is a must-have snack for old Beijingers to drink bean juice." Jiang Yunfeng put a few other things in front of the three of them, and then said, "There are these, spicy pickled vegetables, noodle tea, and pea yellow." Especially this pea yellow. ”

Jiang Yunfeng picked up a plate of pea yellow and emphatically introduced: "Pea yellow is originally a folk snack of the Hui nationality, generally made of small jujubes, commonly known as rough pea huanger, in temple fairs and other occasions, placed on a wheelbarrow covered with a wet blue cloth to sell. Later, it was introduced into the court, improved by the Qing Palace's imperial dining room, commonly known as fine pea huanger, and kidney bean cake, small nest head and so on called the same court snacks. The production process of this pea yellow is quite cumbersome, the peas should be soaked in baking soda water for more than 6 hours in advance, then the baking soda water is poured out, and rinsed repeatedly with plenty of water 4 to 5 times. Bring to a boil over high heat until the skin of the peas bursts. Then chop the boiled peas as much as possible, the more crushed the better. If there are particles in the paste, it will affect the taste of the final product. ”

Kohei Soma pinched a piece and threw it into his mouth, carefully commenting on the smooth and fresh taste, and sighed, "It's really smooth, with a texture similar to mashed potatoes." It's not as runny as mashed potatoes, but it's cold but it's delicious. If it was hot, it might taste better. ”

"Huh." Jiang Yunfeng smiled, "Pea yellow is not hot, at least the pea yellow I know is not served in the form of hot spots." Because the peas are boiled and crushed, they have to be sifted many times to remove the skin and germ of the peas. The result is a very thin pea paste, add sugar, simmer and steam dry. When the paste becomes viscous, it is removed from the heat and poured into the prepared mold, which is usually a shallow iron plate. It also needs to be refrigerated and shaped before being cut into the current row and served on a plate. The starch contained in peas is not too viscous and not very plastic. If not refrigerated, change to hot spot form. Then what we will see will not be such a tender yellow lump, but a bowl of sweet paste. ”

Erina Nagikiri browsed around and then focused on the bowl of gray-green bean juice and asked, "Then why didn't this 'pea yellow' be served at the front, but waited until we finally started drinking the bean juice?" ”

"This is deliberately done by the waiter, after all, not everyone can tolerate the strong smell of bean juice, but it is more characteristic of old Beijing. When I arrived in Beijing, I didn't see the flag-raising ceremony, I didn't climb the Badaling Great Wall, I didn't visit the Forbidden City, I didn't visit Wangfujing, the International Trade Center, and Century Heavenly Street. If you don't eat Quanjude and don't drink a bowl of bean juice, it means that you haven't been to Beijing. Jiang Yunfeng shook his fingers with an old expression, "As for why the bean juice was served together with pea yellow and a few other things in the end, I guess the waiter is afraid that serving the bean juice first will ruin our food experience." ”

"Badaling, I'm tired of playing in the Forbidden City. Wangfujing, Guomao, Century Tianjie and so on, let's taste the characteristics of old Beijing first. I'll do it first! "Erina Nagi, who is playing with her heart, doesn't care about the cultivation of the eldest lady. I just want to end this meal as soon as possible, which has been seriously 'overtime', and buy time to show off my financial resources to stores all over Beijing.

"Hey~ Miss. I advise you not to drink so much just yet. Jiang Yunfeng pressed the jade hand of Erina Nagi holding a white porcelain bowl filled with bean juice, and persuaded him with kind words, "Why don't you let Chuangzhenjun taste the taste first, let's see the situation and then make a decision, right?" ”

"Ah Feng, you... Xingping Chuangzhen looked at Jiang Yunfeng in horror and said in a low voice, "How can you betray your brother?" ”

"Then how did you abandon me in the hotel lobby last night, and I was publicly executed in front of everyone, which is simply a stain on my life!"

"But wasn't it very hilarious to see you at the time?"

Feeling that Jiang Yunfeng was reasonable, Erina Nagi put down the bowl of gray-green bean juice in her hand, turned her head to Kohei Sozane and said, "Kohei, you taste it first and see how it tastes." ”

"Why me?"

"You've got someone to cover everything for this trip, so can't you help you try some food? And you've been studying dark cuisine a lot, and it's relatively high in antibodies. "Erina Nagikiri will actually occupy the moral high ground and carry out 'inhumane' human questioning and moral kidnapping of Kohei Sozane.

Jiang Yunfeng also cooperated with Erina Nagikiri, and diligently picked up the bean juice and sent it to Kohei Chuangzhen's mouth, and kept urging, "Please, please." You're welcome. ”

"Okay, if you're ruthless, I'll admit it this time." Xingping Chuangzhen glared at you Jiang Yunfeng viciously. After taking a large sip of bean juice and turning it back and forth in his mouth a few times, he swallowed it, a meme of discovering a new world. "Ouch, that's good." Seeing that the two of them looked at him with suspicious expressions, Xingping Chuangzhen took the white porcelain bowl from Jiang Yunfeng's hand and savored it in front of the two.

"That. . . True. Don't force yourself to swallow it if it's hard to drink, no one will dislike you if you can't drink it, after all, many Beijingers are not used to drinking soybean juice. Jiang Yunfeng thought that Xingping Chuang's life was really broken.

"It's really good, it's true." Kohei Chuangzhen said while drinking this spicy pickle shredded, "Although when I first entered it, it was sour and smelly. But just bear with it. The fresh aroma of beans and the sweetness after swallowing, combined with the salty and spicy taste of shredded pickles, are really a great experience! ”

After drinking all the bowls, Kohei Chuangzhen bars sighed and couldn't get enough of it, beckoned the waiter to come, and took the empty bowl of bean juice for a long time before the waiter understood what he meant. He smiled and nodded, then turned and hurried away. After a while, a large bowl of bean juice was brought from a tray, with hot air floating on it, and a little stirring foam was piled up on the edge of the bowl. At first glance, you can see that it has just come out of the pot.

Kohei Sojin happily gave up his seat so that the waiter could put the bean juice in front of him. After the bean juice is arranged, it doesn't matter if Kohei Sojin can understand it or not. The waiter gripped the tray with his smiling hands behind his back and bowed slightly. He politely said, "Please use it slowly." Then he turned around and went to the other call desk.

Pinch the scorch ring in your left hand and hold the spoon in your right hand. A spoonful of spicy shredded pickles is sprinkled in the steaming bean juice. Kohei Soma scooped a spoonful of bean juice with shredded pickles and drank it into his mouth, taking a bite of a burnt ring stained with bean juice. "It's a new taste experience." The sour and astringent aftertaste of the bean juice, the crispiness of the burnt rings, and the spicy saltiness of the shredded pickles. Synthesis is intertwined, you have me, I have you. Closely connected, not separated from each other. It turns out that bean juice is also such an inclusive ingredient. It's over, Ah Feng. It's addictive to drink, and I can't stop it. How the soy juice is made and what raw materials are used, I would like to try it when I return to Japan and see if I can replicate it. Otherwise, I would be very uncomfortable if I couldn't drink it. ”

"The raw material of soybean juice is actually mung beans. It's not easy. Sift the mung bean impurities, wash them, put them in a basin and soak them in cold water for more than ten hours. When the bean skin is twisted by hand, take it out, add water and grind it into a thin paste, the finer the better, and then, add slurry water (that is, the water skimmed out when making soybean juice and starch in the paste) and add water to filter it one by one until the slurry and okara are completely separated, and then pour the slurry into the vat, and precipitate overnight. The white starch settles to the bottom of the tank, and the top layer is a layer of gray-brown black powder, and the upper layer is gray-green and thick green raw bean juice, and the top layer is foam and slurry. Skim off the foam and slurry, scoop out the green bean juice, and settle once before cooking, for six hours in summer. Winter precipitation overnight. After precipitation, skim off the slurry above, put a little cold water in the pot, boil with a strong fire and pour in the raw bean juice, when the bean juice rises gradually and will overflow out of the pot, immediately switch to a slight heat to keep warm (at this time, you can't use a strong fire, otherwise it will be boiled into hemp tofu). ”

Kohei Chuangzhen used his mobile phone to record all the production methods that Jiang Yunfeng said, and planned to take them back to Japan and study them carefully. Seeing that Xinghei Chuangzhen was really eating, Jiang Yunfeng and Erina Nagi looked at each other and nodded, picked up the white porcelain bowl and took a shallow sip.

"Vomit !!!" At the same time, the two of them spit the bean juice in their mouths into the trash can that they had prepared long ago.

Jiang Yunfeng is in good condition, after all, he has been baptized by the periodic table, and he is still somewhat resistant to bean juice. Erina Nagikiri, who has the 'Tongue of God', is miserable. The taste buds, which are several times more sensitive than ordinary people, faithfully feedback every inch of the taste of bean juice to the brain. The sourness after fermentation, the green and astringent taste of mung beans, and the aftertaste is a little disgusting and sweet. It doesn't work to let Erina swallow Nagikiri, and neither can he spit out. As if it was in her throat, she kept stuffing pea yellow and noodle tea into her mouth, hoping to dilute the taste that Erina had never tasted in 16 years, and I believe it would become a lingering nightmare for Erina Nagikiri for a long time.

The early time that ended in disaster finally ended. When she went downstairs, she had been in the counter before, and her aunt had changed shifts and left the counter to help guide the customers in line in the store, and her sharp eyes immediately noticed that Erina Nagikiri's somewhat distorted little face, pulled Jiang Yunfeng, who had finished settling the account, and preached with a little reproach, "Young man, it's not that Auntie said you." If your girlfriend can't drink bean juice, don't let people taste it, you see! A girl with a lot of water, her little face is wrinkled. I feel distressed when I look at it, I have to pay attention in the future, there are not many good girls who are so beautiful and not picky, you have to cherish it. Wait for me here. After saying that, he ran to the counter in a hurry, and came back with a few glasses of dark brown drinks in a while. Stuffed into the arms of Erina Nagikiri, who came to Jiang Yunfeng's side, and said with a smile, "Drink, Auntie, please you, rush the taste in your mouth." Boy, let's take my girlfriend and friends to play. ”

“。。。。。。。” Jiang Yunfeng, who was misunderstood, didn't bother to explain.

After taking the drink stuffed by the aunt and distributing it to Kohei Chuangzhen and Jiang Yunfeng, Erina Nagi asked curiously, "What did that Obasang say to you just now, why did her gaze keep wandering back and forth between you and me?" ”

"It's nothing, say that the eldest lady is so beautiful and beautiful, and I admire your beauty for a hundred years." Jiang Yunfeng took advantage of the aunt's inattention, scanned the QR code on the wall with his mobile phone, and settled the money for the drink.

"That's it!" I didn't know that Jiang Yunfeng was opening the river, and Erina Nagi thought that her aunt was really praising her beauty. Some little pride said, "Miss Ben is naturally beautiful, you can know me, that's the blessing you have cultivated in several lifetimes, be content!" After speaking, he inserted a straw into the drink, and walked to the outside of the Huguo Temple snack store while drinking. . . (To be continued)
