Chapter 213: Old Fire Soup

A bowl of "jasmine rice" mixed with a fish sauce.

The rice grains immediately show a crystalline granular state, and the taste is very similar to "fried rice with abalone sauce", but it adds a salty and fragrant taste to it.

A bowl of rice mixed with fish sauce was eaten by Zhen Hui in a few bites.

Wiping his mouth, Zhen Huizhi continued: "You may not believe it, this bowl of bibimbap is the best bowl of bibimbap I have eaten in the past two years, although I don't know what this sauce is at first, but isn't this the way the food is, with a sense of mystery is the best, if you eat a meal, anyone will make it, then who will eat it next time." ”

As he spoke, he put down the dishes and chopsticks and burped.

The first three dishes, Zhen Huizhi was very satisfied.

Before this, he had also eaten a lot of star-rated hotels, and the dishes in those hotels gave him the feeling that most of them were decent, and the taste was not as good as ordinary restaurants on the street.

People eat here, all of them value his environment.

No one really comes here for the taste.

The role of a star-rated hotel is to put on a show, to prove the hospitality and strength of the host, the luxurious decoration, the exquisite plates, so that your guests can sit in it and enjoy the best service.

As for the dishes or something, the more advanced the better.

Taste, on the contrary, seems to be less important.

All the big hotels in the country have followed this style before.

They never cater to the guests in terms of taste, whether you like it or not, the dishes I make are all the same taste, and I love to eat it or not.

Foodies don't value the form, so star-rated hotels are not in their range of choices.

When Zhen Huizhi received this promotion, he once said to his fans: "Intercontinental Hotel Rongzhou is a famous five-star hotel in our Rongzhou City, I haven't eaten before, the reason why I took this order this time is because of the street shop or something, I think you are tired of seeing it, so I plan to take you to a change of environment and feel the life of the rich!" “

Zhen Hui came here with such a mentality.

Originally, I spent money to eat a high-priced meal, but I didn't expect that the three dishes in front of me not only did not have any problems, but were unexpectedly good.

Zhen Hui has been looking for something delicious all these years.

Fans need delicious and novel things, Zhen Hui has to help them find them, the first three dishes of this Intercontinental Hotel are very perfect, Zhen Hui is very satisfied.

All three dishes were eaten, and the last soup was left unserved.

Zhen Huizhi touched his round belly, he felt that he had eaten enough.

But he knows that there is another important criterion for testing whether a restaurant is good or not, that is, whether the soup is good enough.

Zhen Hui has been holding for two years, and in order to eat, he has traveled all over the country.

He has been to Yangcheng in the south and eaten the famous "old fire soup" there.

The eating habits of a place, a group of people, and the tastes of the people of the place, depend to a large extent on the climate and geographical conditions of the place.

Rongzhou is located in the central region of southwest China, surrounded by mountains, and the humidity is relatively heavy.

For the sake of wetness, the people of Rongzhou are keen on eating spicy food. The effect of chili pepper in removing dampness is obvious, so the people in this place rarely have gout, and all kinds of spicy dishes are amazed by people from other places, but for locals, it is not a problem.

The climate of Yangcheng in the south is much hotter than that of Rongzhou.

Often in December, when it is already snowing heavily in the central region, some cities in the south are still under the scorching sun.

In order to relieve the heat, the people over there like to stew all kinds of "old fire soup".

"Old fire" refers to the stew for more than four hours, mixing various ingredients and herbs together, and slowly exuding various nutrients in the ingredients under the slow boil.

The soup that absorbs all kinds of nutrients is described as a "beautiful soup".

In southern cities, this soup is a must-have before meals.

Such a long time of simmering can perfectly integrate the most nutritious parts of the ingredients into the soup. The soup is the most nutritious part, and the remaining ingredients can be eaten or discarded.

In the days when Zhen Hui stayed in the south, he didn't have much interest in other dishes because of taste, but this "old fire soup", he had to have a bowl before every meal.

In the words of the locals, if you drink a bowl of soup before a meal, you can live to be ninety-nine years old.

Whether he can live to be ninety-nine years old, Zhen Hui is not sure. All he knew was that in those few days, he had lost about five kilograms of weight, and the feeling of being as light as a swallow made him feel as if he was a lot younger.

It's just a pity that Zhen Huizhi only stayed in Yangcheng for less than a month.

After returning to Rongzhou, because of the change in eating habits, his weight rebounded back all of a sudden, "old fire soup" or something, although he also stewed himself, but after answering his hometown, it seems that he has become a soup after dinner.

Zhen Huizhi felt that the meat he rebounded back was because of a change in habits.

He knows that this is not good, but in the general environment, it is not up to him to change.

For example, the "mung bean belly soup" I ordered just now has not been served on the table, if it is in Yangcheng, the soup must be the first to be served.

Therefore, Zhen Huizhi felt that he was in Rongzhou, and it seemed to be difficult to lose weight.

With a full burp, his mouth was full of the taste of the bowl of bibimbap just now, Zhen Hui asked the waiter to refill himself with a glass of lemonade, and asked her to urge her, how could the belly soup be served.

As he was talking, he saw the food delivery man pushing the food cart towards this side.

Zhen Huizhi looked over there, and saw a small black casserole on the dining car, and the small hole in the lid was still bubbling with steam, which looked like it had just been brought down from the stove.

This is obviously different from Yangcheng's "old fire soup".

"Old Fire Soup" is directly stewed, heated on the lowest heat in a large pot, someone ordered this soup dish, and then scooped it out with a soup bowl, and served it directly to the guests.

And the soup dish in front of me is obviously freshly boiled.

Underneath the black casserole was a piece of wood padd for heat insulation, and as the lid was untied, a wave of heat immediately came towards Zhen Huizhi's face.

The soup in the boiling water is still boiling, and the belly is mixed with mung beans tumbling in it, which looks very lively.

Just when Zhen Hui was about to take a spoon and scoop it up a little to taste, the food delivery man suddenly said wait, and then, I saw him take out a plate from the dining car on the side, and on that plate were some fresh and tender folded ear roots with leaves.

Then, he put all the folded roots into the boiling soup......
