Chapter 285: It's Delicious But Dumplings

After getting up for breakfast and leaving the hotel, and then going to the nearby collection point to get two packages, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning, which was not too late.

In addition, the distance from Andong to Baishan is only 300 kilometers, and if he rides vigorously at his riding speed, he can reach it in almost a day.

However, the intensity of that kind is too rushed, and he is not out of time now, so he does not plan to rush to the road, but is ready to ride slowly in two days.

And the deeper he goes into the Northeast, the lower the temperature will be, and the more scenery he can see, the main purpose of his riding is to see the scenery in various places, and then take pictures of it for fans to see, so he can't delay shooting the scenery in order to hurry.

At the exit of the national highway in Andong City, Qin Yuan took a huge billboard with an action camera to take pictures of 'Welcome to Andong City', and said: "After staying in Andong City for a day, it's time to leave, and I had a very pleasant time in Andong City yesterday."

Once again, I would like to thank our Xiao Liu for his hospitality, and when he left last night, he also sent me a big bag of Anton strawberries.

It is worthy of the famous Anton strawberry, the grain is full, the color is bright red, there is a strong milky fragrance, looking at it is full of appetite, I killed a large plate last night, and now I still have half of it, waiting for the road to eat slowly. ”

Qin Yuan said and moved the camera to the Anton strawberries in his hand, it is now the ripening period of Anton strawberries, there are many farmers selling strawberries on the road, and the strawberry sheds are open to people to pick, you can pick them yourself, which is quite fun.

His original plan was to go to the strawberry shed to pick some strawberries by himself, but when he left the hot spring villa yesterday, Liu Shuai gave him a basket, and he didn't finish it today.

In this way, he didn't want to join in the fun, after all, strawberries are not easy to carry, and he rides a bicycle and bumps all the way, I'm afraid it won't take long for it to break.

After eating a few strawberries to satisfy his cravings, he rode his bicycle and continued in the direction of Baishan, where the temperature was about minus 10 degrees Celsius, which was still quite cold.

In addition, the cold wind generated by cycling cut his cheek like a blade, and if such harsh conditions were replaced by ordinary people, I am afraid that they would not be able to stand it for a long time.

However, Qin Yuan didn't take it too seriously, he brought a Lei Feng hat and a cotton mask, although he still felt a little chill, but with his physical fitness, he could completely resist it.

While riding, he continued to use his action camera to record what he saw and heard along the way, as well as the beautiful winter scenery.

"Today's temperature has dropped to minus 10 degrees, which is a little colder than yesterday, and there was a heavy snowfall last night, and the roads were heavily snowed, although the municipal government cleaned up early in the morning, but some places were still icy, so I couldn't ride too fast, I had to take my time.

But it doesn't matter, it's the first time I've come to the Northeast for the winter, everything here is very new to me, and this experience of riding in the snow is also the first time, I have to say, exciting! Qin Yuan was very happy, and said while riding at the camera.

In such a cheerful mood, he rode all the way for more than two hours, and then looked at the mileage, but it was only 50 kilometers.

As he himself said, yesterday because of a heavy snowfall, the road was very snowy, although the road surface of the national highway has been cleared in time.

But because the weather is too cold, the road is icy, and it is very difficult to ride, even if he still uses professional non-skid tires, but still can't make his riding speed reach the previous level.

He rode down the way, and the average speed could only reach 25 kilometers per hour, but even so, he did not fall down along the way, but fortunately, he was physically amazing, and he was always able to stabilize his body at the last moment, which did not cause much damage.

"It's 11:30 p.m., and it's been two and a half hours since I got out of Andong City, but I've only ridden 50 kilometers, which is a lot slower than before.

But there is no way to do it, the weather is too bad, the road is icy, I don't dare to ride too fast, I almost fell just now.

Before leaving Anton, I bought some frozen dumplings at the roadside supermarket, and now I am going to cook some dumplings to eat.

I saw an abandoned shed on the side of the road, which was probably left by the previous road construction team, so I borrowed it first, and then continued to set off when I was full. ”

Qin Yuan said as he pushed the bicycle into an abandoned shed on the side of the road, and then casually found a room without a locked door and walked in.

The room was empty, with only an abandoned desk covered in dust, and the place had been abandoned for some time.

But there is nothing else but dust, the point is that there is no Ollie to give, which is quite rare, you must know that the abandoned houses on the side of the road can easily become public toilets for passers-by.

"This room is very good, and there is a table, which can be used as a dining table when wiped clean, and it would be nice if it happened later, so that there is a place to stay at night.

But it's only 11:30 p.m., so it's impossible to stay here at night, and I'll have to keep going! Qin Yuan took out a little toilet paper to wipe the desk clean, then took out his pots and pans and gently placed them on the table.

After all this was done, he took out the gas stove and put it on the ground, and then lit it directly.

"For this trip to the Northeast, I specially bought a set of oil stoves on the Internet, but the current temperature has not yet reached the time to use the oil stove, so I will continue to cook with the gas stove first, okay, first boil water, and then cook dumplings to eat."

As he spoke, Qin Yuan took out a large bottle of mineral water from the camel bag and prepared to pour the water into the pot.

But what he didn't expect was that the mineral water he bought two hours ago had frozen into ice lumps and couldn't be poured out at all.

"Oh my God, forget about this stubble, the temperature is too low, the water is frozen, and now I can't pour it out, I can't help it, I can only cut the bottle and pour the ice cubes into the pot to heat it."

Qin Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, he thought that he was fully prepared, but he didn't expect to be taught a lesson by this extremely cold weather, just because of the problem of drinking water.

At such a temperature, if you don't use a thermos flask, it's a problem to take a sip of water in time.

As soon as he thought of this, he already had some thoughts in his heart, and he must buy a thermos when he passed through the town.

It used to take only a few minutes to boil a pot of water, but now because the ice cubes have to melt first, the whole process has become quite long, and it takes about 15 minutes to boil a pot of water.

With the ignition of the gas stove, the temperature in the room also rose a lot, so that it would not be so cold, Qin Yuan took off his gloves and poured 50 handmade dumplings into the boiling water in batches.

"I kind of understand why Northeast people love dumplings and stewed in a big pot so much, this thing is really convenient! On this cold day, it is too inconvenient to cook other dishes, they are all frozen into ice lumps, and it takes a lot of effort to thaw them! Qin Yuan said with emotion.

As a southerner, his hometown is evergreen all year round, and he can eat fresh vegetables even in winter, and he never worries about vegetables.

But the Northeast is different, the Northeast is extremely cold, basically from November every year has begun to enter the winter, and the winter time is very long, and it is precisely because of this that there will be a cat winter.

In order to survive the winter, the people of the Northeast have to store a winter food in the cellar before entering the winter, which includes cured meats and a variety of vegetables.

Because of the extremely cold temperature in the Northeast, stir-fried dishes like the south basically cool down as soon as they are served, while the temperature of stewed dishes can last longer, so a unique food culture has gradually formed.

Qin Yuan had actually heard of these things when he was studying, but he had never experienced them personally, and today he experienced them for the first time.

As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and some knowledge is difficult to understand only through textbooks, and only through one's own practice can we better understand the truth.

After 10 minutes of boiling, all the dumplings with full grains float on the surface of the water, which means that the dumplings are cooked.

"The dumplings float up, which basically means that they are cooked and ready to eat, turn off the heat first, and I want to have a little secret dipping sauce."

A little soy sauce, a little old vinegar, and a little bit of spicy woman-old godmother, okay, the soul dipping sauce is finished, and the dumplings are paired with this dipping sauce, which is called a fragrant! ”

Qin Yuan said that, he took a dumpling and dipped it in a little sauce, and then threw it into his mouth, and immediately his face showed an expression full of enjoyment, just looking at his expression, it seemed that he could feel the deliciousness of the dumpling.

"It's so delicious, I bought these dumplings from an aunt in the vegetable market, and someone else made them by hand.

I bought a total of 100 of them, with three kinds of fillings, namely fresh meat with leeks, fresh meat with cabbage, and one fresh meat with sauerkraut.

I've mixed them all together, so I don't know how many leeks and cabbages I have in here, no matter what, they're all delicious anyway. Qin Yuan took a big gulp of dumplings and said with a satisfied face.

In less than ten minutes, 50 dumplings were easily eaten by him, and 50 dumplings were eaten in one meal, which was quite explosive even if it was placed in the Northeast.

But for Qin Yuan, a top foodie, this is just a piece of cake, if he really lets go of eating, let alone 50, or 100.

It's just that he doesn't plan to stay in a hotel tonight, and is going to find an abandoned house to live in, so he must keep half of the dumplings for the evening, otherwise he will have to eat all the 100 dumplings in one meal.

With 50 dumplings in his stomach, his body seemed to be fully charged, and it seemed that he had endless strength.

"It's comfortable when my stomach is full, I felt a little cold just now, but now I'm warm, and I can continue to go." Qin Yuan didn't stop, immediately put away the pots and pans, and then embarked on the journey to Baishan again.

While passing through a small town, he bought an aluminum alloy thermos flask, which was 1.5 liters in total, enough for him to drink.

The reason why I bought aluminum alloy is that it is not easy to damage, after all, he is indispensable to this thing along the way, although it is a little heavier, but it is useful!

After adding a new piece of equipment, he set off again, his clothes whining and the cold wind blowing his clothes, but he enjoyed it without feeling any pain.

There were many passers-by on the road who couldn't help but want to give him a ride when they saw him riding in the cold, but he refused.

After all, he decided when he set off that this trip to the Dragon Kingdom must be completed by his own strength, as long as it is not due to force majeure factors, no matter what kind of difficulties he encounters, he must definitely persevere, in this way, it is absolutely impossible for him to take a ride.

In this way, he rode for more than three hours, it was already more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and the total mileage was 120 kilometers, and according to his plan, he would arrive at Baishan in two days, so he had to ride an average of 150 kilometers a day, and he was still 30 kilometers away!

After riding non-stop, even he couldn't help but feel a little tired, and after looking at the time, he parked his bicycle on the side of the road, then turned on his action camera and continued to shoot.

"It's 15:30 in the afternoon, and I've been riding for more than 3 hours, almost 70 kilometers, plus the previous 50 kilometers, it's 120 kilometers.

And I plan to ride 150 kilometers today, so there are still 30 kilometers left, and at my speed, I can definitely finish it before dark, now drink a little water and biscuits to replenish my energy. ”

As he spoke, Qin Yuan took out a pack of morning tea biscuits from his backpack and ate them with water, but in the process, his eyes were attracted by a few ice picks hanging on the stone wall not far away.

The rock wall was formed by an excavator digging up a hill near the road, and there should be a spring flowing down the mountain before it gets cold.

But as the temperature plummets, these droplets of water coming down from the mountain are slowly frozen into ice, and finally turn into long ice picks.

Looking at this icicle, Qin Yuan's heart was surging, and his childlike heart was rising, at this moment, he was like a child who was only a few years old, full of longing for those straight icicles!

"Brothers, look at what I found, isn't this the Ice Sword, an ancient weapon that has been lost for thousands of years!"

Qin Yuan said amusemently, as he came to the front of those ice picks, and then directly pulled out one of them.

Good guys, this ice pick is about 1.5 meters long, beautiful and straight, it looks like a real magic weapon.

Holding this icicle in his hand, Qin Yuan directly turned into a three-year-old child, holding the icicle as a sword and began to wave it indiscriminately, and also dubbed himself himself, his mouth kept moaning, looking extremely childish.

But Qin Yuan himself had a lot of fun, and his face was full of happy and excited smiles.

"It's so straight and beautiful, if I could meet such an ice pick when I was a child, it would be a whole year of joy!" While holding an ice pick as a weapon, Qin Yuan used his mobile phone to record this childlike scene.
