Chapter 319 [Rice]
Yuan Lai didn't plan to have anything to do with Han Baohu's son, so since there were many people here, he would just change places. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I don't think this Young Master Han will continue to feast and drink, right? Just tomorrow I will rest in Qingzhou City for a day, and I will eat tomorrow. “
No one objected to this proposal, but then there was a problem, probably because this peacock house was too famous, and even there were no decent restaurants in a large area around it, which made a few people a little worried, so they would not have to walk too far to have a meal, not to mention that they were not familiar with this place.
Fortunately, the eyes are always very good, and Yoyo found a place.
This place is far away in front of you, just diagonally opposite the peacock building where you are satisfied, but this store is really a little cold, the door is very small, it looks like a house that has been around for a few years, the door of the store is cold and deserted, there is only a small open door, if you don't look carefully, no one will even see that this is also a small shop.
Especially in the tall shadow of the Peacock Tower, it seems to have a very low sense of existence.
A big road, this side of the car and horses, that side of the door can be crowded, the contrast is really eye-catching.
Yuan came to see it and hesitated, he didn't care much about eating and drinking, on the contrary, he himself liked this kind of small shop very much, there was Li Qingjuan's yard in the capital farther away, and the one that had the last meal with Lu Zhangcha when he left Linjiang was nearer, they were all ordinary small shops.
It's just that although he doesn't care, thinking about Liu Xiaoyan is also a young lady after all, it is not good to eat in this kind of place after all.
However, Liu Xiaoyan took the initiative to say: "That's it." ”
Kansai also nodded, not seeming to care about any of this.
Yuan Lai and the others had no reason to object, so they crossed the street and walked into the small shop.
After entering the door, Yuan Lai couldn't help but sigh that this store was really small, they only filled the store with only six people, of course, it was mainly due to the tall and burly figure of Kansai.
The shop was deserted, except for an old man with a small basin washing something.
Seeing these people coming in and standing up slowly, he didn't see much courtesy, but said a little coldly: "Please go to another house." ”
Yuan Lai was stunned, he really didn't expect this shopkeeper to answer like this, and couldn't help asking, "Why?"
"The shop is too small, there are no ingredients, and the hospitality is not good. ”
Kansai was a little unhappy when he heard this, he came to eat with high interest but found that there were too many people in Peacock House and it was already crowded, and now he just wanted to fill his stomach but got this answer, with his temper, his face couldn't help but look a little ugly, and said: "We don't eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, even if we want to eat you here, we just need some vegetables and rice to fill our stomachs!"
Yuan Lai also smiled: "Do whatever you have." ”
The shopkeeper looked uninterested, and said slowly: "There is only rice to fill the stomach, and there is only some tofu in the dish, can you eat it?"
"Just do it!"
The old man didn't react when he heard this, so he picked up the basin and said, "Then sit down and wait a while." ”
After saying that, he slowly walked into the back kitchen.
"Where is there anyone who does business, no wonder business is so bad. Yo Yo said with some understanding.
Yuan Lai just smiled, thinking that this person really had a strange temper, there seemed to be only this one person in the whole store, the store was so small, there were only two small tables, and there were exactly six people sitting down, just sitting down and hearing Yo You's words, Yuan Lai couldn't help but chuckle and said: "Okay, it's good to have something to eat." ”
Yo You said dissatisfiedly: "Tofu, what can be delicious." ”
Yuan Lai said with a smile: "You are wrong, if the tofu is ready, it is very delicious." ”
This is not false, in Yuan Lai's impression tofu is indeed a very delicious ingredient, the tofu ordered by the old craft is tender and soft, smooth and white, extremely refreshing, almost tasteless, but very easy to taste, similar to such an easy and common ingredient in addition to it is only cabbage.
He was never a person who enjoyed food very well in his previous life, but there are two things about the taste of tofu in his memory, the same is a home-cooked dish stewed with tofu and fish, and no ingredients are added, and the tofu out of the pot is all infused with the umami of fish. The other is the most common shallots mixed with tofu, he still remembers that in his last life when he was a child, his family was in the countryside, and when he ate mixed tofu in summer, he used to hang the tofu into the well first, and waited for the cool air of the groundwater to invade it cold, and it was very refreshing to eat.
Pity......
I haven't tasted that taste in years.
Yuan Lai sighed lightly in his heart, and couldn't help but look forward to it out of thin air, there were fewer and fewer tofu in the old craft brine point in his previous life, and most of the food was made of gypsum.
It's just that he can't remember for a while whether there is still Liu An, the king of Huainan, in this world, and he doesn't know if the tofu in this world is still created because of alchemy?
While he was still thinking about these thoughts, there was already a series of movements in the back kitchen, and in a short time the sound of a burning flame reached his ears.
Through the door of the small shop, I just saw the series of high-hanging red lanterns in the bustle and prosperity of the Peacock Building, as the sun sets, the smoke of Qingzhou City gradually goes out, only separated by a long street, the noise and excitement at the other end of the long street suddenly fades away, the ears are monotonous and coherent spatula collision sounds, and the light in front of me is slowly gradually dimming.
A strange sense of tranquility arose in the place, and all six of them couldn't help but fall into it.
The conversation that was still a few words slowly disappeared, and everyone couldn't help but feel at peace in their hearts, and even Kansai, who was not in a good temper, was magically not annoyed by the slow speed of serving, but unconsciously the heat of the original mood disappeared.
Finally, I don't know how long later, I saw that the red light of the Peacock House outside the door was completely lit, and the only old man in the small shop finally came out of the back kitchen with a small wooden barrel, came to the table of several people, first put the small wooden barrel next to the table, and then turned around to light the lamp in the shop.
"When the rice is steamed, I'll go get the vegetables. ”
He said something faintly, and then turned back.
Ohno glanced at him, reached out and opened the lid of the barrel, and suddenly a burst of fresh water floated, and even a rich and sweet aroma of grains filled the room.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
The taste of this rice...... Yes...... It smells great.
There were already dishes and chopsticks on the table, and Ohno served the rice diligently, the rice was distinct and full, and the water even shimmered on the surface, and as the most superficial layer of rice in the barrel was shoveled, the fragrance suddenly changed, and a fresh taste like the sun after the rain was transmitted.
"It's so fragrant......"
Han Xiaoye couldn't help but hold his little nose and close his eyes, his face full of enjoyment.
Kansai was also stunned, and said with a smile: "This small shop looks broken, but I didn't expect the rice to be steamed well." ”
Yuan Lai was also a little surprised, he took a bite carefully, his mouth was suddenly filled with the fragrance of grain and wood, and even had the illusion of swallowing the sun.
"yes, that's nice. ”
After swallowing this mouthful, Yuan Lai couldn't help but admire, and he felt a little joy in his heart to find the treasure.
And just when a few people were not in a hurry to pick up the meal, the shopkeeper came over slowly and put two plates on the table.
"Tofu is coming. ”
