Chapter 600: Late-Night Food Stalls
After returning to the cube lounge, a familiar hint quickly emerged, and the content basically did not change, but the number of people participating in the game was further reduced, and including Qin Fen, there were still ten people left.
"So, let's fight it out!" Qin Fen also felt the urgency of time, and did not stay long, and directly started the last level of the amusement park breakthrough.
……
Time: Late at night.
Location: On the lonely long street.
The sky was sprinkled with fine snowflakes, and a lone street lamp stood in the corner of the wall, silently guarding the light in the darkness...... The dim light is like an old photo with a yellowed corner of the table, which freezes the memory.
And under this dim street lamp, there is a steaming food stall. The boss is a dark-skinned man wearing an old navy blue tunic and a silver collar around his neck, about forty years old, with a slightly hunched back, light white hair on his sideburns, and wrinkles on his face like thousands of ravines on the Loess Plateau. At his feet, there was a rusty steel fork......
Although it was late at night, there were still a few diners sitting in front of the noodle stall.
When Qin Fen opened his eyes, he was on the other side of the road from the food stalls, and the fine snowflakes were falling one after another, cold and cold.
"It's snowing." Qin Fen exhaled, and his breath took on a white mist under the light.
Dusk street lamps, old-fashioned noodle stalls, fluttering snowflakes, lonely travelers...... It seems to have returned to the snowy night when I was a teenager in an instant, and returned to the mottled vicissitudes of time in my memory.
"It's been a long night, young man, let's have a bowl of soup!" In the tone of a typical old farmer in northern Shaanxi, the stall owner greeted him warmly, bringing Qin Fen's thoughts back.
"Anyway, is it really good to use it here for a long night? The next sentence should be followed by 'Let's do something with love'! With a little complaint, Qin Fen found an empty seat and sat down.
The old farmer smiled innocently, wiped the table neatly, and then took out a bowl of thick soup from the soup pot, a bowl of hot and fragrant mutton offal soup.
On such a cold and snowy night, what is more refreshing than a bowl of steaming lamb offal soup?
This bowl of haggis soup is quite authentic, and the mellow fragrance of the accessories, spices and rice wine completely covers up the greasy taste of the mutton.
Qin Fen didn't suspect that this bowl of soup was poisoned by blood, so he drank it when he took it.
"Boss, it tastes good!"
The stall owner smiled innocently and did not speak, but took out a menu and handed it to Qin Fen.
The staple food casually ordered a pancake roll with green onions, and then opened to the special dish column, only to see that it read:
Octopus grilled: Generally, the famous Korean octopus is eaten raw, but in fact, the octopus is already dead, but the muscle reflex has not stopped, but there are indeed people who swallow live octopus. That tentacle crawls down my throat and wants to get out of my throat...... I'm sure you're chewing on Xuanmai, and you can't stop at all!
The second special dish: delicious sauce. It is a cheese that is deliberately stocked with live maggots. After a high degree of decay and decomposition, this kind of fly maggot drilling, constantly seeping water stink bomb is made. This cheese is soft and also has a creamy texture. We see this snack at weddings or family gatherings.
It feeds on pecorino cheese, but skips the typical fermentation process and leaves the ingredients "rotten" directly by the digestion of the cheesefly larvae. Larvae are deliberately added to promote a special level of fermentation and to promote the breakdown of milk fat in cheese. The texture of the cheese then becomes very soft and oozes a little juice. The larvae are milky-white, translucent worms about 8 mm long. The larvae will jump up to 15 cm tall when touched. [The larvae can be removed before eating cheese, but some gourmets choose to keep the worms in place.]
The vigor and elasticity of the insects that jump and climb in the mouth in a panic when chewing makes many people praise and want to stop.
The third special snack: Balut. It is a fertilized duck egg, and when the egg is opened, the unformed fetal shape of the duck can be seen. To eat this snack, first open the eggshell, put salt and pepper in it, and then suck up the liquid inside. Because the ducklings are not grown, they have no hair, and the bones are soft like meat tendons, and they have the elasticity and softness of jelly, and the taste is also unique. This snack you will find in the Philippines as well as elsewhere in South Asia.
In addition to this, there are also some Bangkok specialties. For example, fried grilled cricket skewers, toddler sparrows, mice, snakes and other snacks, or you can also enjoy a delicious bowl of scorpion soup.
Well, how to say this thing, it's like durian, some people think it stinks, some people never get tired of eating it, it's all based on taste preferences.
Qin Fen glanced at it a few times, and then asked for a white chopped chicken, a bowl of beef soup, two large pieces of Shandong flatbread, and a bowl of steaming chop soup.
Taking advantage of the clanging of the boss's pots and pans, Qin Fen slowly looked at several other diners at this time.
……
"Boss, hurry up and eat, don't fix those thin things, you have to do it! I'm starving. The fat man sitting at the table next to Qin Fen rubbed his hands and kept stomping his feet.
As a big man with a height of one meter eight and a weight of one hundred and eight, the amount of food and volume of the fat man is obviously proportional, after all, it is impossible to gain weight by drinking cold water~~ Especially in this cold and lonely night, I can't help but smell the aroma around me.
The fat man didn't say anything, but as soon as he said it, the thin and slender companion next to him suddenly laughed.
"Pig's head, do you know the previous sentence of the black one who is close to ink?"
"What do you mean?" The fat man scratched his head.
"Those who are close to pigs eat!"
"Hmph, then I don't care, after more than ten years of experience, I can finally open meat today."
The uncle was very honest, and while smiling, he quickly brought the food up.
"Damn, what is this!" The fat man shouted out again, and his voice shook like thunder: "Are you fooling buddy?" Don't see my punching bag-sized fist? I want to taste Mother Earth's fists! ”
Flicker is a term with Chinese characteristics, whether it is a scam or negotiation in daily life, it is inseparable from the word 'flicker', the most typical is that the dignified Fan Wei was fooled by Mr. Benshan into 'Fan Wei', and the means of transportation were changed from a bicycle to a stretcher. Mother Earth is a foreign word, combined with the traditional culture of 'flickering', that is, the combination of Chinese and Western, both internal and external, directly to the affected area, and effectively treat all kinds of disobedience Smecta.
The stall owner, who was honest and still wore a silver collar around his neck, just nodded and smiled blindly.
"On the meat dishes, my old pig wants to eat meat!" The fat man wiped the saliva that flowed out of the corners of his mouth, "Two pots of pork stewed vermicelli, speed!" ”
Among the major cuisines, Northeast cuisine is known for its "bold, enjoyable", strong color and umami, simply put, it is particularly able to eat, and people who are not used to eating have many dishes that cannot be eaten, and if they like to eat, it is definitely not a bowl of rice that can stop.
A "pig" of the size of a fat man can withstand ordinary people for two days with a meal. It's a pity that the fat man eats is not proportional to the speed of growing meat, and he can't reach enough during the New Year, otherwise it would be a good plan for his companions to kill and sell meat......
