Chapter 221: Sheep and Scorpions

The sky is snowing heavily, and the temperature in Beijing at night is lower than during the day. Erina Nagiri, who was sitting on the bench, unconsciously tightened her down jacket and breathed hot air on her little hands that were a little red from the cold. Jiang Yunfeng took off the scarf around his neck, walked up to Erina Nagikiri and wrapped it around her, complaining, "Really, such a big person, I don't know how to wear more clothes to keep warm without Scarlet Sand by my side." However, Japanese girls are really a magical species, and some people wear bare legs and short skirts in winter. Don't you feel cold? ”

"That's to exercise willpower." With the warmth of the scarf, Erina Nagikiri smiled and asked rhetorically, "Wouldn't you feel cold without a scarf?" ”

"Cold?" Jiang Yunfeng, who sat back on the bench from the newly, loosened the collar of his down jacket, and replied a little uncomfortably: "Miss, you have thirty or forty pounds of 'trophies', not to mention these 'trophies', Chuangzhen and I have been fighting with you for an afternoon, and we are all sweating, and I still feel cold." Are you real? ”

He didn't hear Kohei Chuangzhen's voice since he sat down to rest, and Jiang Yunfeng, who was a little puzzled, turned his head to look, only to see Kohei Chuangzhen sitting on the bench with his head up, making a faint snoring sound. "Miss, take a look. Tianchuang can really sit and fall asleep in such a cold day, which shows how tiring it is this afternoon. After Jiang Yunfeng finished speaking, he pulled Kohei Chuangzhen's collar and shook it, "Hey~Hey~ Chuangzhen, don't sleep here!" There's no heating outside in the winter, so if you're going to spend the night here, I'll have to pack you in a box and send it back to Japan the next day. ”

"Hmm。。。。。。 It's cold! Kohei Soma opened his hazy eyes and couldn't help but shudder. He asked, "It's getting dark, what time is it?" I'm so hungry, can we have dinner? ”

"It's almost 8 o'clock in the evening, Miss, let's find a place to eat before continuing to walk. After all, everyone is hungry. After checking the time, Jiang Yunfeng suggested.

Erina Nagi thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she got up and said, "For the sake of you being a porter for me all afternoon, I'll invite you to this dinner, say, where do you want to eat?" ”

"Quanjude!" From the moment he stepped on the ground in Beijing, Kohei Soma did not forget his desire for Peking duck.

"Unrealistic! There is no reserved place, even if we rush to Quanjude, we have to queue up, and it is estimated that we will not be able to eat tonight. After all, the open oven of Quanjude is so big, and the number of roast ducks baked each time is also limited. I have already set the location for tomorrow night," Jiang Yunfeng poured cold water on Xingping Chuangzhen at the right time, but he still gave a hope, "When I arrive in Guangzhou, that is my land." At that time, I will take you to fully experience what a southern snack is. ”

"Southern snacks? Is there a difference between north and south? Kohei was confused.

"China is a vast country and a vast country. There is a huge difference between the east, west, north and south, just like noodles, and the representative of northern noodles is 'Lanzhou ramen'. There are many types of southern noodle dishes, and each has its own characteristics, and it is difficult to have one that can dominate the entire northern noodle like 'Lanzhou Ramen'. However, there are still a lot of very representative ones, such as the 'Dantanmen' you made at the school festival. Erina Nagikiri, who is erudite and talented, explains, "There are also northern and southern snacks. The production techniques of the northern school are mostly fried, branded, fried, and stewed, and the raw materials are mostly noodles and beef and mutton. Among them, the collection of the master 'old Beijing snacks' is the representative. Nanpai is Guangzhou morning tea, the production method is mostly steamed, and the raw materials are mainly rice flour or rice milk. The filling is mostly pork and dairy products. ”

"It's great, it sounds delicious." Kohei Sojin finally asked a substantive question: "Then how do we go south?" By plane? ”

"Stop flying, change to a more Chinese travel method - high-speed rail! We started from Beijing West Railway Station, after more than 9 hours of driving, from north to south through most of China, a distance of 2,268 kilometers. ”

"Aren't you going to spend the night on the train?"

"Don't worry, I'm booking a sleeper ticket. When I woke up, I was in Guangzhou. ”

"Okay, let's take a look at the front of us first. Find out what good restaurants are nearby. Erina Nagikiri threw the bamboo sticks of the rock sugar gourd into the trash can and turned around and ordered.

"Holo." Jiang Yunfeng took out his mobile phone, searched it with WeChat radar, and replied, "Our current location is located on the Tianjie of the World Trade Center, just near the authentic old Beijing sheep scorpion store." Winter is the most suitable time to eat sheep and scorpion hot pot. ”

"Lead the way."

The sheep scorpion is a complete sheep vertebrae with tenderloin and spinal cord, and is commonly known as the sheep scorpion because of its similar shape to the scorpion. Sheep scorpions are low in fat, cholesterol, high in protein, and rich in calcium. It is easy to absorb, nourishes yin and kidneys, and beautifies and aphrodisiacs. It is often used to make clear soup hot pot, and it is delicious.

The Scorpion King's Mansion is an old shop in Beijing that can count sheep and scorpions. As soon as two men and one woman entered the hot hall, three young people were greeted by a waiter, leading them to find a place where the guests had just left the previous table, and serve flower tea and menu.

Jiang Yunfeng flipped through the menu and handed it to Erina Nagikiri, and said with a smile, "Miss, after all, you have a treat, so it's up to you to order." ”

Erina Nagikiri didn't take the menu, but said to the waiter who was waiting on the side, "Serve the most expensive one." ”

The waiter was embarrassed at this time, but fortunately, Jiang Yunfeng stood up and whispered a few words to the waiter to resolve the embarrassing scene. After a few clicks on the tablet, the waiter smiled and bowed, "Please wait a moment." Then he turned and left.

"Didn't I ask the waiter to bring the most expensive one? What did you order? ”

"Miss, you only said it was expensive. But there are too many expensive things here, and we can't eat them all at all, so it's not a waste. Jiang Yunfeng smiled: "By the way, eldest lady, I have always had a question like asking you to solve." ”

"Say." Erina Nagi took a sip of the flower tea, then frowned. Obviously, this cheap tea does not satisfy the 'Tongue of God'.

"For example, this afternoon, every time you go to the store, you always ask the store to take out the most expensive goods, pick a few things that are pleasing to the eye and pay the bill and leave, can you use an easy-to-understand metaphor to describe how strong your financial resources are?"

"Hmm~~" Erina Nagikiri thought about what expression to use, and suddenly her head flashed, and she said, "For example, I want to buy a courtyard house in the second ring road of Beijing." "Take a sip of flower tea, eat a little side dish on the table, and make a comment. Then he said, "Enough money." ”

"Hiss~" Jiang Yunfeng couldn't help but gasp. What is the level of housing prices in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, Jiang Yunfeng, who is Chinese, knows best. In the previous life, even if he was the youngest grandmaster, the head chef of Diaoyutai, he was frightened by the housing prices in Beijing, and those outside the Sixth Ring Road could not afford it, so he could only live in the staff dormitory of the State Guesthouse. The recent transaction price of the courtyard houses in the second ring road is as high as 110 million.

Just when Jiang Yunfeng sighed that we were different, the waiter pushed a cart to put two stoves with charcoal fire in the center of the table, and then placed two copper basins on the charcoal stove. A pot of clear soup and a pot of old soup slowly boil under the action of charcoal heat. After multiple processes, the sheep vertebrae exude a rich aroma under the action of heat.

"Eat, eat! Let's get started. Jiang Yunfeng put on film gloves and picked up the tip of the sheep's tail, the essence of the whole pot. Put it on the plate in front of Erina Nagikiri, and said with a smile, "Miss, try it while it's hot, it is said that this is an authentic winter delicacy in old Beijing." ”

Erina Nagikiri, who has already been 'tormented', can't care about any elegance anymore, so she just puts on her gloves and hugs the tip of the sheep's tail and gnaws, and no one knows her anyway. After a long period of boiling, the flesh has become very soft, and it separates from the tail vertebrae with only a slight sigh. Soaked in spices and soaked in broth, the lamb melts into the mouth with an umami-like gravy that flows from between the lips and teeth to the body.

The bone marrow, which was supposed to have the heaviest smell, had no smell at all. Only the fatty melodium of the spinal cord remains, and the broth mixed with collagen in the bone space raises the plump of the spinal cord to a new level. On the basis of the original clear soup, more than 30 kinds of pure natural Chinese herbal medicine spices such as sesame pepper, chili, tempeh, cinnamon, cumin, pepper, dried ginger, good ginger, sand kernels, cloves, kaempfera, angelica, astragalus, shengdi, long pepper, grass fruit and other more than 30 kinds of pure natural Chinese herbal medicine spices are carefully boiled in the old soup, and the sheep scorpion cooked out by more than a dozen processes such as soaking, picking, burning, simmering, and stewing makes Erina Nagi very addicted, sucking the mutton and spinal cord on the spine one by one. The bone plate in front of him was already full of gnawed bones, and under the dual effect of the medicinal power of nourishing Chinese herbs and the fire of the charcoal stove, Erina Nagikiri's cheeks were crimson, and a slight sweat broke out on her forehead.

At the same time, in the front hall of the Beijing Hotel, a middle-aged man in an expensive suit sat on the sofa drinking coffee cup after cup, and the female secretary in a capable lady's professional suit on the sofa next to him was still distracted in the process of laughing and not paying attention to every passenger who stepped into the hotel, as if waiting for someone to arrive...
