Chapter 31: The Heavenly Treasure of Nature
"Sister, we might as well eat more watermelon to quench our thirst and give people strength. As for dinner, there is nothing new to eat and eat here, so it is better to go to LB City to solve it. Ling'er proposed.
"This method is very good, rent a fast horse." Qingqing agreed.
So, I spent 4 copper coins to buy two catties of watermelon. After the sisters finished eating, Ling'er reminded Qingqing from time to time to pay attention to the way to eat, don't spill the juice on the clothes, saying that it was difficult to clean, Qingqing did so, she felt that the lady must talk about the image.
Three or five minutes later, Kuaima has successfully sent the two girls to LB City, oh, sir, this is my rental fee, a total of 70 copper coins. Qingqing said to Xiao Er in a friendly manner.
"Beautiful guest officer, this journey is not far, as long as 60 Wen."
"What an honest gentleman, the sage said: 'The way of the university is in Mingmingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection. It means that the purpose of the university is to carry forward the bright character, to enable the people to reform the old and make the new, and to achieve the best state. So, honest people, this girl wants to give a reward, the 10 copper coins are paid to you as a tip, and you can also promote the method of giving tips to others to further develop the bright and upright character of my Great Song Dynasty. Qingqing generously pursued his own "benevolent proposition".
"Thank you for the kindness of the girl, welcome to Tongguan again, goodbye!"
"Thank you, sir, BMW, hard work, goodbye!"
When night fell, the lanterns in LB town were stringed, flashing with a vague and dreamlike halo, silently telling the wealth and glory of the Great Song Dynasty, which was the peak period for high-ranking officials, nobles, merchants, hawkers, tourists and idlers to dine out.
When the sisters arrived at a well-decorated restaurant, the whole store was wide and wide, and the walls were decorated with locally produced diorite bricks and stones, which looked clean, luxurious and solid, and unique, and was also painted with a light orange paint, Qingqing couldn't help but think of the words of the sage "The way of the university is in Mingmingde" and "Look at its pleasure and know its skills".
Looking at the name of the store, Qingqing exclaimed: "Ah, this city is a Lingrenjie, Ling'er, you see, what a cool and novel store name, 'Yang Yang Proud', is no longer an ordinary name for 'long stay' or 'long food', otherwise, I will have to take the name of this girl, it seems that there are many people who read here." ’”
"It's a bright-hearted shop, and it's definitely 'worth it' to go in and fill your stomach." Qingqing sighed spontaneously, making Ling'er inexplicable.
"Sister, what is 'worthwhile food'?" Ling'er couldn't help but ask.
"I mean, the food at this restaurant is going to be a treat for both of us."
"Oh, let's get in there."
It is very lively, with a tide of people, shuttling back and forth, which can be described as "walking a wave and coming in a group", or "you sing and I will appear on the stage." "During the banquet, there were fist players, joke tellers, bragging, singing people, and selling all kinds of snacks.
"Boss, please have a mutton soup." Ling'er saw that each diner had ordered a mutton soup and followed suit.
"Holo." Xiao Er asked diligently, "Guest officer, what do you like to eat?" ”
Qingqing took the order booklet.
"Two more portions of pancakes with meat." Qingqing commanded.
Eating the unique flavor of Lingbao mutton soup, I couldn't help but ask the diners around me why it was so delicious.
The owner-like diners are like a few treasures: "Sheep is in Lingbao, Yuxi, and mutton soup is not only a diet for this place, but also a culture." The history of Lingbao mutton soup is impossible to find out when it originated and what month it is, but there is no doubt about its long history. Broth has become a representative of the Lingbao diet. I don't know if the increase in the popularity of Lingbao has made Lingbao mutton soup famous, or whether Lingbao mutton soup has improved the popularity of Lingbao and HN, anyway, the guests who come to Lingbao have to drink a bowl of mutton soup beautifully. ”
"How is it made?" Qingqing asked with interest.
"The commendable places are as follows, one is reflected in the selection of bones, the production of "Lingbao mutton soup" needs to choose fresh mutton bones, usually half of the vertebrae and leg bones, and the bone geometry of each pot of soup is strictly regulated; Second, it is embodied in smashing bones, which need to be washed and the leg bones smashed to expose the bone marrow; Third, it is embodied in the bubble bones, and the sheep bones must be soaked in water to remove blood stains. In addition, it needs to go through seven processes such as 'boiling bones', 'boiling bones', 'matching bones' and 'boiling meat', and the "Lingbao mutton soup" is made. At this time, the soup is as white as snow, with a strong aroma and delicious taste. ”
"Oh, the chefs' kung fu is really good, no wonder there is a saying 'all the food is eaten, the chef has ten years of work'."
"Girl, why haven't I heard of that?" The diner asked curiously.
"This friend, there are a lot of things you haven't heard, my girl is going to say some crazy and stupid things at any time, don't take it seriously." Ling'er quipped.
"No wonder, but you've taught me a tasteful phrase that has whetted my appetite, thank you." Diners said happily.
"Is there any other way to eat such delicious mutton soup?" Qingqing continued to ask.
"Friend, you are right, Lingbao mutton soup is very versatile, can be used as hot pot soup, brine soup, and can also cook dishes such as "bullwhip in soup" and "cabbage in soup". It is also delicious to make braised noodles, knife-cut noodles, stewed cakes and other meals. However, the "Braised Lingbao Mutton Soup" is the favorite of diners.
"How?" Qingqing is reluctant to ask.
"Slice the lamb into large slices. Soak the sweet potato vermicelli in warm water. The fungus is also soaked in warm water, washed, and then cut into pieces. Take a small soup pot, scoop in the 'Lingbao mutton soup', put in the fresh mutton slices and vermicelli fungus after boiling, and after boiling, use refined salt, monosodium glutamate, chicken essence, ginger rice, garlic rice to adjust the taste, put it into the soup bowl, sprinkle with green onion and coriander segments, and it is done. ”
"I'll let you say, see if the old lady doesn't clean you up." It was probably the diner's wife who was eating jealousy and tugging at the diner's right ear.
"Don't mess around, I didn't do anything bad." The poor diner prayed to his wife.
"Eldest sister, please stop being angry, I don't understand, just ask. This is the commentary fee for your father-in-law. Qingqing said, handed his wife 20 copper coins, she thought: 36 counts, appeasing the vinegar jar is the best plan.
The eater's wife turned her anger into joy: "You go on, go on." "I'm sorry.
The sisters drank delicious mutton soup and ate the unique pancake with meat. Eat sweaty profusely, and feel comfortable.
"Sister, do you say that this mutton can be eaten all year round?"
"Yes, mutton is sweet, hot, and a great tonic. It has the miraculous effects of warming the stomach, strengthening the spleen and kidney, removing wind, dispelling dampness, etc., which can be used in all seasons, morning and evening, and which one is liked by all ages. Qingqing began to talk again.
"Sister, you go and ask the chef to see how the pancakes and meat are made."
"He said, keep it a secret."
"Another virtuous cook." After a while, Qingqing proposed,
"Life must be full of joy, don't make mountains of silver. Today, the four taels of silver are worth spent, which not only enhances nutrition, but also learns some knowledge. Come and enjoy this meatloaf slowly. ”
The sisters only know that the meat here is exquisitely selected, the recipe is unique, the color is bright, the fat is not greasy, and it melts in the mouth; Its cake is crispy and crispy, fragrant and refreshing.
After eating, the sisters came out with their swords, and walked a little proudly and even heroically, it seems that this mutton soup can change people's spirit, and the diners are all looking sideways, and they don't even dare to come out.
Came to an inn called "Ji surnamed Jiuzhu", the owner is an amiable sister-in-law.
"Boss, eldest sister, who gave this store name? It doesn't sound very catchy. Qingqing pointed out the problem sharply.
"Oh, little girl, do you have any opinions, tell me about it."
"Eldest sister, I see that you are a humble boss, can I give you a store name?" Qingqing volunteered to recommend himself.
"The ancients said: 'The mountains are not high, but there are immortals; The water is not deep, but if there is a dragon, it is spiritual'. This place is called 'Lingbao', there is aura everywhere, it is better to change the name to 'Zeling', how? ”
"Oops! Good name, from now on, I will definitely attract tourists from all over the world because of this unique store name, thank you girl, from today onwards, what is the demand, just open your mouth to me, I will give you a little two. The sister-in-law was excited.
"Eldest sister, don't dare to be, just ask your second child to wait for the two of us."
Subsequently, the boss instructed Xiao Er to send a lot of local apples and jujubes to the girls, the apples can send a sweet fragrance from three meters away, and the jujubes emit a dazzling light from time to time, revealing a ruddy and healthy joy like blood, which is difficult to hide.
The sisters soaked their feet in hot water, ate an apple with the skin on it, checked the "hostile situation" in the room, and fell asleep very sweetly.
