Chapter 87: All the way to the west

A Buick business, converging in the swarm of various cars, to the west, to the west......

You can use different scenery to describe the itinerary, the same can be described with different foods, donkey meat in Zhao County, furnace cakes in Shijiazhuang, Jinfeng grilled chicken, out of Hebei pattern is renovated, noodle nest, pig blood enema, knife cut noodles, stone cakes, from Datong to Taiyuan, even the counties of food Dong Chunjie can also tell a thing or two, his itinerary is accurately arranged according to the meal time, when the meal arrives, there must be a new trick, the next meal, the place has changed, and the pattern has also been renovated.

When the third day was about to leave the province, Dong Chunjie commanded the car to turn into a fork in the road, and only to find out after 20 kilometers that it was a mountain reservoir, called Anze Reservoir, and the residents of the reservoir area had a small farmhouse here.

To this kind of mountain savagery seems to be a little inconsistent with Dong Chunjie's identity, and when he got out of the car, the old Dong Qi was also strange, and he actually knew that he was running a farmhouse here, a cigarette was handed over, two cigarette guns were sprayed, and in less than three sentences, the bearded villager carried the stubble, rowed the boat, and went straight to the center of the lake.

"What are you going to do here?" Bao Xiaosan lifted his pants and came out of the dry toilet.

Geng Baolei and Qiu Di rubbed the car boringly, looking at the boat rowing to the middle of the lake, a little puzzled, but eighty percent is related to eating, Lao Dong is a god in eating, eating shaved noodles to the head soup under the pot, pig blood sausage to be killed and filled, even the stone cake is picky to be scalded out of the granite, this time to go to the lake, Qiu Di thought about it and suddenly realized: "It won't be to catch fish, right?"

"Eighty percent of them are. Geng Baolei glanced at Lao Dong, who was sitting at the door of the farmhouse basking in the sun, and said with a smile.

"Oh, I've eaten a lot of meat in the past two days, and I've had to grow a few pounds of meat. Bao Xiaosan stroked his stomach and began to pull, but he couldn't resist the temptation of deliciousness, and when it was time to eat, he didn't pull down a mouthful. No, he stretched out his hand and asked, "Is there any diarrhea to stop?"

"If you eat less, you'll be nothing. Geng Baolei threw it to him, Bao Xiaosan swallowed a piece directly with saliva, and said depressedly: "Why are you all fine, just me have diarrhea?"

"Why is it okay? I'm constipated and can't pull it off...... Today I'm saying that I'm not going to eat anything. Geng Baolei said with a bitter face.

Qiu Di rubbed the car, laughed, he said, no matter how good the food is, there will be side effects, you catch the donkey meat and eat it vigorously, taste the noodles and don't put the bowl, don't support you to death?

"How to eat in life?" Bao Xiaosan disdained.

"Life is not just about eating. Geng Baolei said.

"Oh, yes. Bao Xiaosan thought about it, if he really didn't eat two things.

"It's not quite right, like this is life, like this is right, traveling with the United States, traveling all over the country, going where you want to go, eating what you want, it's called life. Qiu Di laughed.

Bao Xiaosan and the two stretched their necks, and when they saw Dai Lanjun and Dong Chunjie pointing towards the lake, they couldn't help but be envious.

"Hi...... Come here, little ones...... I'll give you some work. Dong Chunjie beckoned and shouted, the way he waved his hand, quite a bit of a leader's demeanor, beckoning, three entourages rushed up, he commanded: "San'er, go prepare Chai He, ask the boss lady to ...... Qiu Di, when you see the pot, wash it...... Xiao Geng, the flavor in the car, the yellow box...... Hurry up, I won't wait, and the old loach's fish will come back in a while, and I'll see my brother show you a hand...... By the way, Xiao Dai, talk to the proprietress and some cornmeal. ”

Everyone got the order, and they were busy, Dong Chunjie chose the place to be by the lake, moving stools, setting up firewood, building pots and stoves, and the fireworks of the pot were rising, especially the pot, the huge iron pot was hugged by two people, and Qiu Di laboriously washed it clean, and when he went to the stove, he shouted for help in his voice, but it was Dai Lanjun who ran up, and the two worked together to set up the stove.

"What is this for?" Qiu Di said curiously.

"What else can you do but eat? Ha ha. Dai Lanjun said with a smile.

"I can't eat. Geng Baolei was on fire and said in pain, which made Dai Lanjun laugh again.

The water is ready-made, leading directly from the cliff behind the house to the yard, the bark is used as a guide, the natural water pipe, the coarse porcelain vat is clear, and the sip is sweet, Qiu Di lifted two buckets, the water was boiled, and he just sat by the fire, but Bao Xiaosan found a new world, holding the fishing net of the main family, and Geng Baolei wanted to try to see if he could catch the fish, the two pulled the net, and played with great interest, Lao Dong was not idle, it seemed that he was an acquaintance with the proprietress, one and cornmeal, and the other sat next to the nonsense.

"Hi, Qiu Di...... What are you looking at?" Dai Lanjun sat down beside Qiu Di.

"Look at this place, it's so good. Qiu Di said, surrounded by green mountains, a moored water, and people on the shore, it is simply a peach blossom source.

"It's really good, more than a dozen families...... It's so quiet, the key is that the air is really good. No wonder some people come here for a few days. Dai Lanjun said.

"Has Director Dong been here?" Qiu Di asked casually.

"I've been here, and their gang has a plan every year, sometimes as soon as they go out, it's a convoy, eating and playing all the way, and they can walk for a month on the road. Dai Lanjun said, she touched her mobile phone, handed it to Qiu Di, a friend in the WeChat group, and clicked to Director Dong, yes, the things of a few months are all food.

"Ouch, compared to Director Dong, I don't feel like I've ever lived. Qiu Di smiled, and when he looked away, Dai Lanjun also said enviously: "It's true, mouth blessing is also a kind of happiness, in Director Dong's circle, whoever wants to entertain guests, don't consult the chef first, you have to consult him, eat it in one meal, and keep it satisfied." ”

"It's really ......" Qiu Di used it wholeheartedly, and from time to time he pulled out the fire, the fire was good, the flame was attached to the edge of the pot, the focus on the fire seemed to ignore the beauty beside him, Dai Lanjun glanced at it from time to time, but he couldn't hide the curiosity in his heart, this one was a little deeper than the other two, and it always made her feel a little impenetrable.

"Hey, I'm asking you something. Dai Lanjun kicked the flute on his toes.

"What?" Qiu Di asked absentmindedly.

"I was wondering, why did you agree to come? At first I thought you wouldn't come. Dai Lanjun said.

Qiu Di tilted her head sideways, and saw a pair of curious eyes, she put on jeans and a short cardigan, and it was a completely different look, Qiu Di smiled and said: "It's bustling, it's all for profit, it's much easier than delivery." ”

"False. Dai Lanjun obviously felt insincere.

"Then what are you telling the truth? Do you have to force me to come with admiration for beautiful women?" Qiu Di said with a smile.

Dai Lanjun was overjoyed, and asked with a smile, "Isn't there an ingredient of admiration?"

I didn't expect the other party to be so direct, but for a beautiful woman with enough proud capital, ridiculing with a man is nothing more than the best way to save a sense of zΓ i, Qiu Di smiled, nodded and said, "Of course there is." ”

"Well, that's pretty much it. Dai Lanjun was proud.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Di added like a hero: "Bao Xiaosan also has it." ”

Burst...... Dai Lanjun was stimulated, got up with a bone, punched Qiu Di in the back, and escaped as if he were embarrassed.

The fire is more vigorous, the man driving the boat is back, Dong Chunjie ran up happily, he shouted Bao Xiaosan and Geng Baolei who were playing, several people greeted each other on the shore, and it was really a fish, the bearded man harpooned a pick, and three four or five catties of fish were thrown to the shore, he strutted the pole, jumped ashore, and said with a smile: "Carp, your favorite food...... Here, help. ”

He pulled out a knife, scaled and cut his belly, and after a while, Bao Xiaosan and Geng Baolei hugged one by one, and Lezizi came to the fire, but the cook slapped the green onion, ginger and garlic, and the whole fish swished and went directly into the pot.

"Haha...... This is the most beautiful way to eat, come, put on the potstickers, and see my craftsmanship. Lao Dong also came up in high spirits, Dai Lanjun brought the basin, he pulled a piece of noodles, pinched it from side to side, and put it on the side of the pot...... Ouch, I accidentally burned my hand, and then just put on the potsticker and it didn't stick, and it fell into the pot with a pop.

Everyone laughed, the cook smiled and scooped it out, put the potstickers on the pot with both hands, and in a moment the pot was surrounded by a circle of golden colors along the inside, and the big wooden lid two fingers thick was simmered, waiting to be eaten.

expected that the taste was very good, Lao Dong, a foodie, sat by the pot and sniffed around from time to time, and now everyone can see it clearly, this is a foodie, and he can't do it at all, so he will command blindly. But the level of food is really home, he is waiting for the first bowl of soup with his sense of smell, and when he calls the bowl, the soup scooped out is slightly yellow in the clear, and there is no oil flower, which is the soup scooped up when the fish oil will not melt, and that thing can only be described in one word: fresh.

As soon as the coriander leaves were sprinkled, Lao Dong took a bite of his stomach, and the expression on his face was pleasant, squinting his eyes and smacking his mouth, which was really an aftertaste.

"Delicious, some more. "Bao Xiaosan is fast-mouthed, and he has long forgotten that he has diarrhea.

"Hmm... Good. Geng Baolei was drunk.

"Mountain spring water, wild fish, natural taste, as soon as the fish oil is melted, it will be downgraded...... Come, eat. Lao Dong invited, and several people each held a bowl, a large piece of fish, soup, and corn potstickers, and ate it with relish.

"Old loach, are you doing well?" Dong Chunjie chatted with the man who opened the farmhouse.

"Okay, what's not going to work, it's okay. The man didn't raise his head.

"Isn't it nonsense, my wife and children are hot, not better than the wind and rain outside? I'm not as good as you, I don't even look at my wife. Lao Dong said with a smile, the speaker was unintentional, and he listened intentionally, Bao Xiaosan asked with concern: "Brother Dong, did your wife run away with someone?" ”

Dai Lanjun laughed loudly, and hid aside with the bowl, Dong Chunjie rolled her eyes angrily: "Go, what's the matter with you kid?"

"How many joys are there in life...... It's too easy to find a small one. Bao Xiaosan was concerned.

"Ouch...... You're not big, but you're not ambitious...... Side to go. Dong Chunjie scolded twice, everyone laughed, Bao Xiaosan slipped aside, Lao Dong wanted to say something, but the man had already dodged the bowl with a bowl, Dong Chunjie seemed to be stimulated, and was stunned for a long time.

Talking and laughing, this meal is a unique flavor, after eating a short break, just lie down on the grass on the shore, and the sleepiness of the sun came up, Qiu Di and a few people were talking, Bao Xiaosan's snoring began, and he actually fell asleep.

Qiu Di didn't bother, as if looking at Lao Dong and Dai Lanjun with doubts, and what was the shopkeeper called Lao Loach talking about, that Yan SΓΉ's appearance seemed to be beyond the relationship between business and sales, and chatted for a long time, and then Lao Dong also took out a stack of money to the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper refused, and finally Lao Dong was angry, and threw him directly into the house, got up and shouted for the three entourages to leave.

This meal really made people have a great appetite, but it made Lao Dong frown, and he didn't start bragging after eating as usual.

The car drove out of Anze and headed west, west.........

.................................

.................................

The distance is getting longer and longer, the longer the walk, the more people admire the foodies, stepping out of the two provinces, Lao Dong is still like a few treasures, and even what food is in the small county town passing by, he can not only talk about it, but also lead everyone to find the place where the smoke and fire are burning in the small alley in the corner of the country.

On this day, traveling on the Shaanxi-Gansu Provincial Expressway, continuous mountains, vertical and horizontal ravines, blue sky and white clouds, full of lushness, just from the Xi'an Hotel to eat a meal of a few people are still hiccups, it is a 70-year-old hotel, Guo Lao's inscription is still there, Dong Chunjie boasted, he sent Xiao Mou's grandfather's comrades-in-arms, to Guo Lao as a guard Yunyun, but when he looked at the back of the car, he found that they were drowsy, and suddenly his feelings were greatly reduced.

Oh, and a sober one, Qiu Di drove the car, Geng Baolei and Qiu Di became the main force all the way, and Qiu Di was even worse, at least Dong Chunjie felt good, didn't say much, and was willing to work hard, unlike Bao Xiaosan's goods, except for eating more and running to the toilet a lot, he didn't find any advantages.

"Qiu Di, are you from Xishan?" Dong Chunjie asked.

"Hmm. Qiu Di smiled.

"The pasta in my hometown has a long history and a long history, at least 2,000 years of history from the time that can be verified. Taking noodles as an example, they were called "boiled cakes" in the Eastern Han Dynasty, "soup cakes" in the Wei and Jin dynasties, "water introduction" in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and "cold tao" in the Tang Dynasty...... "Lao Dong began to say that he ate them."

Qiu Di hurriedly interrupted and asked, "Have you eaten it all?"

"Of course, wheat noodles, sorghum noodles, bean noodles, buckwheat noodles, soybean noodles, small flour noodles, mung bean noodles, potato noodles, ...... Wait a minute. There are more kinds of tricks in the chef's hands: knife-cut noodles, ramen noodles, rice noodles, push nests, enema, sharpening, dough rubbing, slicing, river drains, cat ears, etc., more than 280 kinds of ...... That has reached the realm of diversity on one side and all flavors on the other. Dong Chunjie is very knowledgeable.

Qiu Di glanced at him suspiciously, like a mixture of tastes, as if there was a bitter word, Dong Chunjie asked curiously: "What's wrong?" I annoyed you, I'm sorry, I'm a bit talkative." ”

"It's not...... I'm a little weird. Qiu Di said.

"What's strange?" Dong Chunjie asked curiously, as long as he didn't think he was talkative, he would be energetic.

"What level of head are you here, can't you be the head chef?" Qiu Di said.

Burst...... Someone laughed in the back, it was Dai Lanjun, who was half asleep and half awake, heard it, and the sleepiness disappeared when she smiled, and she said: "The head chef can't reach the level of Director Dong." ”

"That's the master, and the great gourmet, these are two concepts, the highest state of the chef is to make the most beautiful food with his hands, and the realm of the gourmet is to taste the most beautiful taste with the tip of the tongue...... It's not to brag to you, the head chef of Quanjude, every time a group of apprentices come out, he has to invite a few of us to eat, just taste the level of his apprentices......? We are different, the roast duck is tender or old, what charcoal is used to grill, whether the duck is feed urged, whether it has been injected with antibiotics, you can distinguish it in one bite...... In the past, you had to eat well, then you had to eat the chef, and now you have to eat the ingredients...... Hey, by the way, I'll tell you about the best haggis here in Shaanxi...... Blood, intestines, liver, and heart can all be flavored, the best is the lungs, which have to be blown up by fresh lungs, and then filled with starch and steamed, and then shredded...... The haggis in your hometown, mainly radish slices, leaky vermicelli, that has a big skeleton to boil the old soup, and the radish is mutton-flavored, ouch, with big spicy seeds, drink a bowl in winter, and sweat all over...... Refreshing. It's a cool ......."

Dong Chunjie talked loudly, accentuated her tone from time to time, the tone was not heavy enough, and she slapped her thigh for dubbing, saying that Kanye in the capital had a mouth flying all over the sky, and this seemed to have gotten the essence of the true biography, and blew Dai Lanjun, who had just woken up, into drowsy again.

Director Dong ...... Can you ask something?" Qiu Di said, borrowing a stitch to enter.

"Oh, what's the matter, what's the matter, what's polite. Dong Chunjie is worried that no one is talking to him.

"Is it difficult to stay in Beijing with a hukou and get the work done in the capital?" Qiu Di said.

"It's really difficult, it's hard to go to Shudao, it's hard to go to the sky, it's not as difficult as you say. Dong Chunjie said awe-inspiringly.

"It must be so hard for me, and so hard for you?" Qiu Di asked, glancing at it expectantly.

"I won't hide it from you, now I will open a residence in Beijing, and the intermediary will do it for you, and it will cost hundreds of thousands...... Work, there is still possibility for the enterprise, the central government, the city, basically impossible, take the public examination, and get the best talent...... Anyway, it's still difficult. Dong Chunjie said.

"I'm asking, is it so difficult for you?" Qiu Di said.

"Wow, you don't want me to do this for you, do you?" Dong Chunjie understood.

"Why not? I've saved some money, and if I can do it, I'd really like to try. Qiu Di said, glancing at Dong Chunjie, these words woke Dai Lanjun up again, and she suddenly understood why Qiu Di's attitude changed so quickly.

"This ...... You can do it. Dong Chunjie said, gritting his teeth.

"How much does it cost?" Qiu Di's heart grinded.

"For me, it's not about money, it's a little troublesome and cumbersome, but it can be done, it may take some time, I said Qiu Di, if you really want to stay in Beijing, then you have to be ready, get up every morning, you have to sing the Internationale to refresh yourself." Dong Chunjie said, and pretended to shout, just sing, get up, hungry and cold, and send slaves.

"What does this mean?" Qiu Di didn't understand.

"A decent house is a few million, you pay a down payment to live in, and after 30 years of repayment, the interest is higher than the principal, and you roll...... I don't dare to say it, marrying a wife, giving birth to children, children in nursery, going to school, etc., the school district has fried more than 100,000 square meters, it's really not bragging, I live so big in the capital, and I have to break out in a cold sweat when I look at the current housing prices...... But fortunately, let's take refuge in the public, don't worry about this...... But if you drift in the capital like this, it will be difficult. Dong Chunjie understands very well. It must be difficult, and it will basically become the level of a slave who is hungry and cold.

"Yes, no, you have to live a little ideal, a little ambitious. Qiu Di said.

"Hey, you misunderstood, I'm talking about the spiritual level...... By the way, I remembered, you are a party member, you should have a higher pursuit...... Let me tell you, ideals are very important, ideals and ambitions are the reasons to support a person's life, and you can't just focus on money and houses......" Dong Chunjie said, and began to preach habitually.

"I also want to put my ideals and ambitions on eating, but I don't have your level. Qiu Di was saddened.

Burst...... Dai Lanjun was amused by the words of the two again, Dong Chunjie looked back suddenly, and Dai Lanjun was laughing straight away. He said stupidly: "I'll discuss this with you later, eating is just a hobby, not an ideal or ambition...... You young people, you really lack some spirit. ”

"Can it be done? I must have the spirit to do it...... By the way, what should I do, I'm not afraid of spending money, but I don't have a way at all. Qiu Di said.

"I can do it, this trip is done, I'll start doing it for you when I return to Beijing...... I'll find a way for you, let's go the way of not spending money, when it comes to this, I have to remind you, you must be careful, now there are too many people who cheat money under this banner, and it is impossible to prevent it, in fact, some accounts are attached to it, and it is really not worth spending hundreds of thousands, I really don't understand how this person's heart has become like this now, just a school district house, not as big as a toilet, can be fried to hundreds of thousands of square meters, and someone will pay...... As for it, no wonder our country is stupid and rich now, and it is so famous in the world......" Dong Chunjie grinned, and the high-minded talk began again.

But Qiu Di was like a stone in his heart, the car drove briskly, although he knew that Director Dong was talking big and high, but there was so much hope, it was better than despairing all the time.

When the car drove to a place close to the provincial border, the navigation sounded inadvertently: there are still two kilometers from the highway exit, please pay attention to changing lanes.

Broadcast twice in a row, Qiu Di swept the navigation, but the arrow was directed to a place called Dangchuan County on the edge of the provincial border, and he asked casually: "Is this going to Maijishan?"

"Hey, you're quite familiar with the road?" Dong Chunjie said curiously.

"I've traveled poorly, how can I not go to the three caves here...... But why don't you go at high speed? Qiu Di said.

"Don't go to Maijishan. Dong Chunjie said with a smile, and he said lightly: "Instead, I went to Zhongnan Mountain...... I think there was an allusion called the shortcut to Zhongnan back then, young man, this time Zhongnan, maybe it's also a shortcut for you...... Hehe, Qiu Di, don't laugh, why do I think you lack curiosity?"

"You're taking the shortcut to the south...... Don't be surprised, I'm doing my best to help, my ideal is that you can help me when I return to Beijing in the future. Qiu Di said, never in such a humble tone.

Dong Chunjie didn't care about Qiu Di's tone, he turned around slowly, and saw that Bao Xiaosan and Geng Baolei were still confused, Dai Lanjun shook his head at him slightly, which made him very strange, and he asked in a low voice: "I bet, you definitely don't know, what are we here for." ”

"Hehe, I bet you didn't eat it. Qiu Di said with a smile.

This sentence cured Dong Chunjie's wordy problem, and the official was suspicious in his heart and didn't say a word.

The car drove off the highway, got on the national highway, changed to the county highway, and went all the way to the west and west.........
