Volume 1: The Rise of the Western Regions Chapter 50 Lively
As the owner, he was very enthusiastic when he saw the customers coming to the store. After introducing them into the restaurant, Zhao Rang chose the innermost and window-side position.
Sitting here, he can observe the situation of the entire restaurant, and if something happens, he can jump out of the window in time.
Since that day in the middle of Xiangteng and jumped out of the window with Yuan Mingkong, Zhao Rang felt that this method was simply too cool!
Straight and fast!
The owner of the restaurant could only speak a few simple words, and after a friendly greeting to everyone, the owner filled a copper teapot with hot water and placed it on the table, along with a menu written in Dawei characters.
This menu is extremely interesting, with the serial number at the beginning being in Western Regions and the name of the dish at the end being Dawei.
Yuan Kexin said that the boss also had a menu in Western Regions. As long as you correspond to the correct serial number, you will know what they ordered!
Zhao Rang laughed:
"This method is really good, or the businessman's brain is spinning fast! If I ......"
Before Zhao Rang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ximen Dazhuang and said:
"If only I would hire a dozen or so people to be translators. When you don't have business, you can also put together a few tables of mahjong and play in circles! How interesting! ”
Zhao Rang teased:
"You don't count how much it costs to hire a dozen translators? People with small doors and small shops can't afford such a cost! ”
Simon Da Zhuang said very easily:
"What's this, wouldn't it be nice to give them back when they play mahjong?"
Zhao Rang suddenly remembered that his Ximen family still had a pawn and gambling house business in the city. It's really the left hand to the right hand, and no one is left behind!
In the past, Zhao Rang also jokingly asked Ximen Dazhuang, saying that his family had earned all the money of the living, why didn't he open a coffin shop and earn the money of the dead? Simon Dazhuang explained in a serious way, saying that his father was reminded by the master that he could not touch the netherworld in this life, otherwise a catastrophe would come!
In contrast, Simon Da Zhuang was not afraid at all. On the contrary, he thinks that people have to burn paper money when they die, which shows that Lord Yama is also a businessman! As long as there is enough money, the great calamity can be calmed down, and there is no fear at all!
Zhao Rang saw that he couldn't say anything about him, so he had to push the menu in front of him and said:
"You have a lot of reason, you order!"
Ximen Dazhuang took the menu, and immediately drew a circle on the big plate of chicken, and marked a "two" on the circle!
"You want to eat two?"
Yuan Kexin asked in surprise.
A large plate of chicken is a whole chicken, which is enough for a girl, but Simon Dazhuang actually ordered two servings!
"Two servings, one for him to eat, one for us!"
Zhao Rang explained.
Yuan Kexin nodded after hearing this, and then looked at Ximen's strong body, and felt that it didn't seem to be an exaggeration for him to eat a chicken.
Ximen Dazhuang ordered several dishes one after another.
In addition to a large plate of chicken, there are also smoked horse sausages, hand-grabbed mutton, haggis soup, and fried noodles and lungs!
Without exception, it's all double!
He ate one by himself, and the other Zhao let the three of them eat.
"What are the faces?"
Although Yuan Kexin has been in Yangguan, she has never eaten noodles and lungs. In fact, she rarely even eats mutton, and she feels that the smell is very choking and she can't stand it......
And the face and lungs sound weird. It's the face and the lungs, and I really don't know how these two things that are not related to each other are connected.
Ximen Dazhuang buried his head in ordering, and Zhao Rang explained to Yuan Kexin;
"Generally speaking, noodles and lungs are noodles and sheep lungs, and these two things are combined to eat."
Yuan Kexin's eyes widened and he asked rhetorically:
"How?"
Zhao Rang continued:
"When the sheep is slaughtered, take out the lungs and wash them. Then the trachea is constantly filled with water, flushing out all the blood inside. ”
Hearing this, Yuan Kexin waved his hand again and again:
"Okay, don't say it...... Sounds disgusting...... Just talk about how the face and lungs are combined! ”
Zhao Rang smiled and said:
"Mix the gluten washed out of the face, mix it with oil, pour it from the trachea into the sheep's lungs, fill it up, throw it into the pot and cook it, and the noodles and lungs are ready!"
Yuan Kexin felt the novelty, and at the same time decided that after this dish came up in a while, she must try it!
It's just that what Zhao Rang said at the beginning is too graphic...... It made her feel a little chill in her heart, and she was still hungry, and she actually shivered.
"Are you alright?"
Zhao Rang asked.
Yuan Kexin shook her head and signaled that she was fine.
Although the two have already had a lifelong relationship, Yuan Kexin is a girl after all, and she is still embarrassed to tell Zhao Rang bluntly, "I'm hungry"!
The first to come up was a large plate of chicken.
Plates the size of a washbasin were placed on the table, filling the table to the brim.
In the cuisine of the Western Regions, the large plate chicken is the most famous, and it has almost become one of the symbols of the Western Regions. But there is no unified standard for the cooking technique of large plate chicken, simply put, it is green onions, ginger, garlic, dried chili, star anise and peppercorns, after stir-frying in the pot, then add chicken pieces and stir-fry together, and finally add water to stew, put the potato pieces into the pot money, and it can be served!
Now in order to look good, some green and red bell peppers will be put to increase the color.
After it was introduced to Dawei, the chefs in the south added bean paste to it to add aroma.
It can be said that for 10,000 restaurants, there are 10,000 kinds of large-plate chicken.
But what has changed is its method of stir-frying first and then cooking, and the matching "belt noodles"!
People who eat large plates of chicken can be divided into three factions.
Zhao Rang and Ximen Dazhuang both belong to the noodle school.
I like to eat the belt noodles mixed in a large plate of chicken and covered in soup.
However, in addition to noodles, Ximen Dazhuang also likes to eat potatoes in it, so he alone accounts for two factions.
"I'm potato pie too!"
Ye Sanniang said.
The potatoes in the large plate of chicken are soft and glutinous, and you don't need to chew in the mouth, but you can gently sip it on the roof of the mouth with your tongue and it will melt!
Yuan Kexin added the largest potato from the plate and put it on Ye Sanniang's plate, which was regarded as a thank you for taking care of herself in the second half of the journey.
Ye Sanniang smiled and said:
"Silly girl! It's so big, but it's not stewed soft, and the small pieces are delicious! ”
As he spoke, he added up another small one, put it in the air, and ate it happily.
Yuan Kexin couldn't understand Zhao's strange preference, just a dish, and they could even be sent out!
Besides, the key point of the large plate of chicken is still on the chicken, of course, it is necessary to eat more chicken to be like words! As for the noodles and potatoes, they are all side dishes, how can they dominate?
As everyone knows, when she thinks so, she has already been classified as the third faction.
Ximen Da Zhuang divided five by two and ate a large plate of chicken.
Then pour the belt noodles that have just come out of the pot into the plate, stir and stir, and start sucking!
As a result, before the second dish came up, these two large plates of chicken had already been eaten to the bottom.
"It's still interesting to eat more people!"
Ximen Dazhuang wiped his mouth and said with a smile.
"Of course, the more people eat, the more fragrant it is!"
Yuan Kexin didn't care about the image at this time, he drilled this chicken paw with one hand, and was gnawing hard, and even the broken hair on the sideburns was stained with oil droplets.
After eating the meat and vegetables, Ximen Dazhuang smacked his lips and felt that he still owed something, so he ordered a large pot of pimple soup, and poured it down with raw garlic cloves.
Yuan Kexin had already put down his chopsticks for a long time.
For half an hour, the three of them were watching Simon Da Zhuang perform alone.
"Ahh Eat five or six minutes full, not bad! ”
Putting down the soup pot containing the pimple soup, Ximen Dazhuang wiped the Han Zi on his forehead and said with emotion.
Yuan Kexin was secretly frightened...... After eating so much, I was only half full! If you want to eat a full meal, you have to have a cow! It was his fate that he was born in Simon's family, otherwise where would ordinary people be able to afford to eat like this?
This time, Ximen Dazhuang did not buy the whole store, and obediently gave Zhao Rang the opportunity to pay the bill.
Before leaving the store, Yuan Kexin asked the boss for the location of Tongbao Money.
At the moment they were on the edge of Chagan Tologai, but Tongbao was in the most central part of the city.
There are many shops there, everything is available, even ...... Of course, there is no shortage of them! After all, the people of Dawei like exotic customs, while the people of the Western Regions covet the delicate women of the south.
The four of them led the horses in the direction pointed out by the boss and walked towards the center of Chagan Tologai.
Zhao Rang noticed that Ye Sanniang hadn't been very energetic since she came here. It was okay when I was eating, but when I came out of the restaurant at this time, I saw that there was sadness on her embroidered eyebrows.
After thinking about it, Zhao Rang decided to ask.
Ye Sanniang is the biggest hole card in their line, and the last one to rely on.
"What does the lady think?"
Zhao Rang walked up to her, pretended to be careless, and asked casually.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, and I won't make a mistake!"
As soon as Zhao Rang opened his mouth, Ye Sanniang knew what he meant, so he replied with a word, but Zhao Rang choked enough......
But since Ye Sanniang said so, Zhao Rang also put his mind at ease.
"Let me see, brother, it's so lively ahead!"
Zhao Rang looked at what Ximen Dazhuang was pointing at, and found that there were crowds of people in front of him, and firecrackers and gongs and drums were ringing in unison, as if there was some great joy!
After walking a few feet forward, the crowd had completely blocked the road, Zhao Rang stood here, and someone soon posted it behind, unable to advance or retreat.
Ximen Da Zhuang was tall and stood out in the crowd, so Zhao Rang patted him on the belly and asked:
"Can you see what's going on up ahead?"
Ximen Dazhuang squinted for a while and said:
"It looks like someone is marching!"
Zhao Rang wondered in his heart...... Chagan Tologai was a place of trade. Demonstrations often take place in places where political laws are strict.
Now that the business is smooth, all industries are thriving, everyone can profit from it, and how can there be an inexplicable parade?
"Do you really see that? Is it a parade? ”
Zhao Rang asked again.
At this time, Simon Dazhuang was a little self-doubting.
He saw several caravans coming out of the street corner in front of him, surrounded by the crowd, beating gongs and drums, and erecting a pole on the top of the carport, hanging a bunch of firecrackers, and setting off a lively scene.
