Chapter 110: Traveling Through Ancient Times as a Matchmaker (4)
The morning of Jiading Fangtai is full of the smell of fireworks, and the smell of humanity also flows slowly in the smell of fireworks.
People regard food as their life, and they have been the same since ancient times.
Xiao Mo pushed open the door and went out, and the sound of hustle and bustle suddenly lingered in his ears.
"Fried fritters, fried fritters just out of the pot, golden and golden, charred on the outside and tender on the inside!"
"Steamed buns, steaming freshly baked buns! It's a big skin and thin stuffing! Two pennies! ”
"Preserved egg and lean porridge! Millet pumpkin porridge! Rice and mung bean porridge! Egg corn custard! With all kinds of porridge, there's always one for you! ”
"Fill soup dumplings, fill soup dumplings, ancestral mouthfuls of pulp and soup dumplings!"
……
Listening to the various shouts with different accents but the same content, Xiao Mo couldn't help but sigh that Chinese food has a long history.
The change of generations and the change of regime cannot help but bring about the fusion of cultures, but also the meeting of food.
"Shopkeeper, busy! Let's have a bowl of tofu brain! Let's have a cage of soup dumplings! Xiao Mo was tempted by the food on the streets, and was eager to try this breakfast that had been separated by centuries.
"Okay, Zhao Niangzi, please come inside, and serve it to you immediately!" Xiao Er greeted him warmly.
"Wait, I want the tofu brain to be sweet, not salty!" Xiao Mo was about to go to the small shop, and found that the quick-handed chef was preparing to put peanuts, celery, soybeans and other accessories into the tofu brain, and quickly stopped it.
"Hey, Mrs. Zhao has changed her taste today? Our tofu brain has always been only salty, add soybeans, celery, shredded carrots, soy sauce, and spicy peppers, I haven't heard of sweet! The chef looked dazed.
Xiao Mo looked at the chef's blank expression, and couldn't help but be even more dazed in his heart, from childhood to adulthood, tofu brain has always been eaten with sugar, how did it become salty in ancient times, is this the generation gap?
"Yes, Mrs. Zhao, look at it, how can one of our guest officers eat for nothing. Besides, we used to eat salty too, and we had to put an extra spoonful of chili peppers! Xiao Er also wondered.
Looking at Xiao Er's strange face again, he suddenly remembered that this Jiading is a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, and then thought about the dispute between the north and the south in the century on the Internet about "whether tofu brain is salty or fielded", and suddenly realized.
"Haha, that's it, I've been bored flipping through books these days, and I found that northerners eat tofu brains with sugar instead of our spices, I want to try that taste......" Xiao Mo snorted haha.
"So that's the case, Zhao Niangzi is also a person who dares to try! Then I'll give Mrs. Zhao a tofu brain with sugar! After eating, he also told us that he said! The chef smiled kindly.
"Thank you." Xiao Mo found a small table with no one and sat down.
"Guest, here comes your soup dumplings, and your sweet tofu brain!" Xiao Er dragged a basket of steamed buns with one hand, and dragged a bowl of tofu brain with a tray with the other hand, and a few small plates.
"Okay, you're busy!" Xiao Mo looked at the steaming soup dumplings that opened the lid of the steamer, and his index finger moved.
There are nine soup dumplings in one steamed bun.
The soup dumplings are soaked in crystal clear soup, and the shape of the steamed buns that originally stood up was softly spread out in the bamboo cage after steaming, but the folds on the buns were clear.
The essence of eating soup dumplings lies not only in the steamed buns, but also in the sauce.
Look at the small dishes on the second end, a plate of chili oil sprinkled with sesame seeds, a plate of vinegar-flavored old vinegar, a plate of finely ground garlic, a plate of chopped green and red peppers, a plate of red and green green onions and coriander, and a plate of pickled crunchy shredded radish.
I didn't expect a small shop to be really exquisite!
Looking at this bowl of tofu brains again, the fine white sugar has not yet melted, and it is sprinkled on the lumps of tofu brains and is crumbling, as if it will be thrown into the water by this smooth and tender tofu brain.
Xiao Mo stirred gently, the tofu brain, sugar, and soup were integrated, and after taking a bite, it was very smooth and tender, with seven points of bean fragrance and three points of sweetness, which made Xiao Mo feel that this was a good start to the day.
Moistening his throat, Xiao Mo carefully picked up a soup dumpling, which was not glued to the steamer made of bamboo because of the steaming, presumably because the chef had carefully coated a layer of oil on the bamboo.
After the bun is clamped, it changes from a soft lying on its stomach to a vertical one, and the soup condenses at the bottom of the bun.
Xiao Mo carefully took a bite from the top of the bun, the bun skin blended the aroma of noodles and gravy, very meaty and strong, so that Xiao Mo couldn't wait to start sucking the soup in a small bite.
The fragrant flavor explodes in the mouth, and the fatty part of the selected pork belly has been steamed into a thick gravy, and the inside is filled with chopped green onions, spices, and mushrooms.
The minced thin lean meat absorbs the soup, and the mushroom seasoning makes it lean but not woody, and it is full of deliciousness.
Xiao Mo sighed in satisfaction.
Use a small spoon to add a little sour vinegar vinegar, a little red chili oil, and then add green onion and coriander, shake it gently, and take a mouthful, which greatly satisfies Xiao Mo's appetite.
Xiao Mo looked at so many seasonings, and his curiosity came up, and he put in crushed peanuts for a while, chili peppers for a while, shredded radish for a while, and tried the side dishes and buns!
It's really spicy, sour, and fragrant!
Eating a soup dumpling and drinking a mouthful of tofu brain, the satisfaction of having his stomach bag filled made Xiao Mo feel full of happiness.
After a while, a basket full of nine soup dumplings, and a bowl of tofu brains were eaten by Xiao Mo.
"Shop, checkout!" Xiao Mo, who was full, felt the warmth brought by the food slowly pouring from the soles of his feet into the acupoints of his limbs, driving away the humidity brought by this rainy season, which was very refreshing.
"Hey, come on! A cage of soup dumplings is four yuan, a bowl of tofu brain is one article, a total of five yuan! Xiao Er quickly quoted the price while checking the account.
Xiao Mo counted out five copper plates from his purse and handed them to Xiao Er.
"Zhao Niangzi, how does this sweet tofu brain taste?" The chef asked with a smile.
"Each has its own merits, each has its own merits, and the salty tofu brain is no different, haha. This soup dumpling is amazing! Fragrant but not greasy, fresh but not fishy, I'll try this salty tofu brain again tomorrow! ”
Xiao Mo didn't want to have a debate about "salty and sweet tofu brain" in ancient times, so he decided to try this salty tofu brain again tomorrow.
"That's good, that's good! Welcome back tomorrow! When the chef heard Xiao Mo's praise, he said happily.
"Good! Definitely, definitely! ”
Xiao Mo, who is full, is in a very good mood, looking at the blue brick street, black tiles and white walls, it is even more pleasing to the eye.
Not to mention the sound of Xiaobai's "Ding Ding Ding" task being completed in his ears.
"Congratulations to Mo for triggering the Food Quest - Favorite! Soup dumplings! ”
"Ding! Acacia World - Favorite! Soup dumplings! The mission has been completed, and 10 points will be awarded to the mall! 2 points for food! ”
"Ding! Congratulations to Xiao Mo for triggering the food quest! Acacia World - Taste Sweet Tofu Brain! Caused the controversy between the north and the south of tofu brain! ”
"Ding! Acacia World - Taste Sweet Tofu Brain! Caused the controversy between the north and the south of tofu brain! Mission accomplished! Bonus 10 points for the mall! 2 points for food! ”
"Heck, it's happiest to have more food quests! As long as you are responsible for eating, you will have points, and you don't have to worry about getting fat, so happy! Xiao Mo secretly thanked Xiao Bai in his heart.
"Zhao Niangzi, I've eaten! I'm looking for you! A greeting interrupted Xiao Mo's musings.
"Isn't this Aunt Liu? What are you looking for from me? Xiao Mo learned from Zhao Yingying's memory that this is a peer with no intersection.
That's right, Aunt Liu is also a matchmaker.
