Chapter 43: A Happy Night
It had been nearly two hours since he was talking, and Kaisheng got up to leave, and the rest of the people followed.
"Boss Long, there is a lot of trouble today, thank you for your hospitality, the two of us have important things to do, I have to say goodbye, goodbye!"
Early in the morning, she regarded Boss Long as a confidant, and she was also very reluctant, always feeling that there were still many things that could not be said, but she had to get up and leave.
"Thank you Brother Long for the carp dinner, I wish the big brother's business to reach a qualitative leap like a carp turning into a dragon, and sincerely wish you: I wish the business a prosperous business to the four seas, and the wealth to reach the eight rivers. Every day the wealth comes smoothly, and every year the blessing comes with the 'fish'; the second wishes the business is prosperous and leads to the four seas, the sea and the sky are for you to fly, fly to the clouds, and show your ambition. The wealth is abundant up to the Yellow River, the deep water of the river is far away from your swimming, swimming to the Dragon Palace, and reproducing the style of the king! Qingqing thanked him, and praised Boss Long, Xiao Er, and the pedestrians on the street.
"Two adults and girls, please walk slowly, there will be a period later!" Long Yunfei is also full of regret for the group of people who are both literate and martial.
"Girl, we still have official business, so we can't give you a ride for the time being, you?" General Kaikatsu explained apologetically to the sisters.
"The repeated rescue of the two generals, my sisters are already toothless and unforgettable, how dare we continue to trouble the two adults, we can reach Kaifeng by renting a horse ourselves, we originally wanted to go directly to Shaolin Temple, but as daughters, we need to go to Kaifeng City to disguise ourselves and make some preparations for martial arts before we can go to Shaolin to learn martial arts."
"The girl is very thoughtful, so it's very good, don't leave it at that."
When he came to Kaifeng, it was already dark, Qingqing reminded Ling'er to be careful at any time, and took the lead in taking out the posture of a martial artist: grasping the sword, it was as firm as if it was in his hand, raising his head and chest, walking with a dragon and a tiger, with an extraordinary bearing and a wind under his feet.
"The people take food as the sky, let's go, sister, let's go and appease the little stomach first."
The sisters walked briskly to a restaurant called "Excellence".
"Sister, why is it called 'excellence'?" Ling'er asked curiously.
"Let's go in and eat and talk."
The sisters ordered a crab roe soup dumpling that local women and children all knew to be longed for by outsiders.
"Oops, it's hot!" Ling'er took a bite of it, and the juice inside was flowing and hot.
"Girl, there is a certain secret to eating soup dumplings, that is, 'lift it slowly and move it gently; Open the window first, then drink the soup. An old woman next to her kindly reminded.
The sisters immediately learned the trick of eating soup dumplings.
"Oh, thank you, old man." Qingqing smiled and thanked him.
"Sister, I can't imagine it, the Yellow River carp is delicious, this crab roe bun is even more delicious, let's go, I'll ask the store how it is made?" Ling'er couldn't help but talk to her sister about her feelings.
"As a noble food, crab roe soup dumplings are also exquisite. Eating soup dumplings usually requires reservations, and the crabs are generally steamed from the pool half an hour before the arrival of the guests, peeling the shells, taking the yellow, and digging out the meat, and then mixing the ingredients, wrapping the filling, and making to ensure that they are delicious and fresh. Today, the luck of the two guest officers is very good, there are two fewer guests at the table just now, so you can eat the delicious crab roe soup dumplings in time. 'Slow lifting', under the shroud of gently steaming heat, the thin skin, the yellow oil, powdery meat, with the soup slowly swaying, the chopsticks slightly improper, will be like the waterfront encountering a pipe surge, causing the embankment to burst. Diners do not have reminders and demonstrations, and they are usually full of foreign appearances, and even 'violent things'. ”
"Thank you boss for your answer, let us know each other again." Ling'er thanked.
"Sister, let's talk about Confucius's dietary ideas first, and you will understand why our later generations should pursue 'excellence' in diet. Zi said: 'I don't get tired of eating, and I don't get tired of stewing. Choking on food, fish hungry and meat rotten, not eating. Lust is evil, and he does not eat. Lose food, don't eat. From time to time, do not eat. If you don't cut it right, you don't eat. Don't eat it, don't eat it. Although there is a lot of meat, it does not make it angry, and it is not eaten in the wine market. Do not withdraw ginger food. Don't eat much. Sacrifice to the public, not meat. Sacrificial meat, not out of three days, out of three days, do not eat. ’”
"It's too hard, what do you mean?" Ling'er was confused.
"Don't over-press the grain, don't cut the meat too finely." 'Cutting' refers to the decomposition of limbs when slaughtering pigs, cattle and sheep. The ancients had a certain method of decomposition, and if they did not decompose according to that method, it was called 'cutting not right'. Cattle and sheep suffer more because of the meat that is not cut properly, and this meat cannot be eaten. Grain is rotten and smelly, fish and meat are rotten, you can't eat it, don't eat food that is not cooked properly, don't eat when it's not eating, don't eat meat that is not slaughtered in the right way, don't eat meat that has not been made with sauce, (the smell of meat without sauce is relatively large), even if there is a lot of meat on the table, don't eat more meat than grains. Don't eat the meat and wine bought at the bazaar, (the merchant may make the meat unclean for profit) when eating, you should eat ginger often, but don't eat too much. (Ginger has a detoxifying effect to prevent food poisoning) The meat used for the sacrifice must be fresh meat, not meat that has been left overnight. Do not sacrifice meat for more than three days, the meat will spoil, and if it is too long, it will not be edible, and it may be poisoned. ”
"No wonder Confucius was a great sage, and even his diet was so particular." Ling'er couldn't help but admire.
"You're not bad today, following Mr. Kong's famous saying, 'Keen and studious, don't be ashamed to ask.'" Qingqing praised with a smile.
The two sisters came to an inn, I don't know what happened today? I was already exhausted, washed up early, checked the safety of my room, and slept happily.
