Chapter Forty-Eight: Clothing
The short and fat man smiled and said: "Chaotianmen at the confluence of the two rivers in Chongqing was originally a place where the Hui slaughtered livestock, after the Hui slaughtered the cow, as long as its meat, bones, and skin, but the internal organs of the cow were discarded, the sailors and slender men on the shore picked it up, washed it and poured it into the pot, added pepper, pepper, ginger, garlic, salt and other spicy things, boiled and eaten, one to fill the stomach, the other to drive away the cold, dampness, over time, it became the earliest and most famous spicy hairy belly hot pot in Chongqing. Therefore, Chongqing's hot pot originated from Chaotianmen Wharf. Although I used to work in Chaotianmen, I actually learned it in Jiangbei. And I took its strengths, made up for its shortcomings, and delved into a hot pot that is more suitable for Luzhou people to eat. How about you try it?"
At this time, Jin Ning'er was soaking a hairy belly, but the short and fat man said: "Miss, the hairy belly shabu can't be too long, I suggest seven up and eight down, with a hairy belly slightly rolled as the best." ”
Jin Ning'er was slightly stunned, put the hairy belly into the dipping sauce with minced garlic, sesame oil, and coriander, dipped it and stuffed it into her mouth. While eating, he picked up another piece of hairy belly and shook it.
This time, he burned it according to the method that the master said, counting vaguely in his mouth, and waited until the hairy belly began to curl up, just seven up and eight down. She licked her lips, dipped the hairy belly in the condiment, and eagerly stuffed it into her mouth.
As soon as the hairy belly entered her mouth, Jin Ning'er's eyes suddenly lit up, and she praised with a thumbs up: "Master, this hairy belly is really crispy and tender, and it tastes great." ”
The short and fat man laughed when he heard the praise and said, "In this case, please use it slowly, if you need to tell Xiao Er, you can do it." I won't bother. ”
Jin Ning'er nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you, master!"
The pudgy man smiled and stepped back into the back kitchen.
Jin Ning'er ate happily, and also beckoned Hu Yan and others to eat.
Hu Yan and Ziling ate hot pot for the first time, although they didn't know how it tasted, but Jin Ning'er's exaggerated eating appearance also aroused their appetite. Learning from Jin Ning'er's appearance, he got up and down.
"It tastes really good. After Hu Yan ate a piece of spicy beef, he couldn't stop.
"If you want me to say, I still like the taste of Chaotianmen Wharf, although this 'Shang Wei' hot pot tastes good. Jin Ning'er stuffed a piece of hot duck intestine into her mouth and said vaguely.
"The hot pot at Chaotianmen Wharf tastes more spicy, but this hot pot has a heavier hemp taste, presumably the people of Luxian County love to eat hemp more. Zhuang Bai picked a chopstick and the duck intestine was hot, but he was holding a wine bowl in one hand and drinking it carefully.
"Brother Zhuang, when we're done here, you have to take us to Chaotianmen Wharf to eat authentic spicy hot pot." "Sweating profusely without asking for food, it is transparent.
"That's nature. But you have to touch one with me!" Zhuang Bai held the wine bowl and raised his eyebrows at Wuqiu.
There is no need to ask for it and there is no fear, this spicy hot pot is spicy and fragrant, and the mouth is full of oil. A sip of wine can relieve spicy and greasy, and it is also comfortable.
This is the most decent meal that everyone has eaten these days, and it was not until a few plates of "Shang Wei" signature dishes were added that they stopped.
As the sun set, there were more and more diners in the store, and soon the whole "Shang Taste" was full of people.
Hu Yan and the others were almost full of food and drink, Zhuang Bai and Wuqiu were already drunk, and they were driven into the backyard by the guys in the store.
"Stinky boy, I'm going to buy a few decent clothes in a while, by the way, let the shopkeeper get some hot water into the room, I have to take a good bath." The slightly drunk Jin Ning'er hiccuped, and after patting a gold ingot on the table, she also swayed into the back hall with Ziling.
Hu Yan didn't drink much, he was very sober, pressed the gold ingots that weighed ten taels on the counter, took out a few taels of broken silver, and went to the street.
At night, the town is still brightly lit and bustling. Hu Yan walked around the street with interest, and the strange things he had never seen before made Hu Yan stop and watch.
It took me a long walk down the street to find a ready-to-wear store. The store is full of all kinds of new clothes.
Seeing someone come to the door, the proprietress who had been bowing her head and sewing clothes threw off the work in her hand and greeted her with a smile.
"Yo, little brother, are you going to make tailor-made clothes, or buy a suitable ready-to-wear garment?" The woman was about thirty years old, with crisp breasts and half-exposed, willow waist and peach face, and a bewitching demeanor, but a little bit of posture.
Hu Yan, a young man with strong blood, was slightly stunned when he saw such a scene, turned his gaze away with a red face, and said, "I want to buy a few suitable ready-to-wear clothes." ”
The woman looked at Hu Yan's shy look, and couldn't help but laugh and tremble: "Okay, you can choose yourself, and I'll get you which set you like." ”
The ready-to-wear in this store is not only made of exquisite materials, but also has new styles. Each one of them looks good. For a while, Hu Yan was a little undecided.
Seeing Hu Yan's hesitation, the woman smiled and said, "I see, I'll choose for you." ”
As he spoke, he looked Hu Yan up and down, and soon made up his mind to twist his waist and swing his hips into the inner hall. After a while, he came out of the inner hall with a stack of clothes.
"Little brother, how about you try this outfit. The woman handed the clothes to Hu Yan and pushed him into the back hall: "Go to the inner hall and change your dirty clothes." I don't know who I'm wearing, it's ugly to death. ”
Hu Yan responded timidly, and entered the back hall with his clothes in his hands.
The material of this dress is good, it is smooth to start, and it is obviously not an ordinary fabric. Such a good dress, I think the price is not cheap. Hu Yan hesitated and never changed it.
The woman outside the door saw that Hu Yan didn't come out for a long time, pulled her throat, and said with a smile: "Little brother, why haven't you come out yet, don't you want me to come in and help you." ”
"No, no. Hearing this, Hu Yan was shocked, and he didn't care how much the clothes were, so he divided them by two, and quickly changed them.
Looking at the clothes on his body, Hu Yan was a little surprised, the clothes were soft and comfortable to wear, and the cuffs and waist were very fitting, as if they were tailor-made, they were unusually fitted.
At the urging of the proprietress of the proprietress Hu Yan straightened his clothes and walked out timidly with a red face.
The woman saw the nonsense, her eyes changed slightly, and she smiled and said, "People rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, what a handsome guy." ”
"Hostess, this dress is definitely not cheap. It's too expensive for me to afford, so I have a few scraps of silver on me, and I'll have to buy a few more clothes for my friends. Hu Yan spread out a few pieces of broken silver and handed them to the proprietress in front of him.
The woman stretched out her hand to straighten Hu Yan's collar, and the warm soft pancreas crossed Hu Yan's neck intentionally or unintentionally, making Hu Yan tremble, and her face became more and more ruddy.
"Little brother, this dress is not cheap, but a good horse with a good saddle, you are such a handsome guy wearing this dress, my sister is happy not to charge you this money. The proprietress said with a smile.
"There is no reason to sell things without charging money. If so, I won't buy this dress. As he spoke, he went into the inner hall. I want to take off my clothes and return them to the hostess.
"Eh, you kid, you're a bit stupid. When others want to hear me say this, they jump up with joy. The proprietress grabbed the nonsense and said with a smile: "In this way, don't you still have to buy a few clothes for your friends, I have accepted your money, you can pick a few more." ”
When Hu Yan saw the proprietress accept the broken silver, he was a little relieved and began to pick out other clothes in the store.
Zhuang Bai's clothes are a good choice, and if you buy them according to the one you wore in the original nonsense, you won't make a mistake. Jin Ning'er likes to wear red clothes, so Hu Yan chose a red silk waist-length skirt with a cross-collar according to Jin Ning'er's figure in his mind. As for Ziling, it is a blue embroidered collared skirt with light yarn and flowing yarn. The most difficult thing to choose is Wuqiu, who has to be five or six years old, thin and short, and there is no clothing in the store that is suitable for Wuqiu.
The proprietress seemed to see that Hu Yan was in trouble, and she said to Hu Yan with a smile: "Tell me about the characteristics of your friend, and I will help you choose." ”
Hu Yan glanced at the proprietress gratefully, scratched his head and said, "My friend is five or six years old, about three feet, and thin. I looked at it for a long time and couldn't find the right clothes for him. ”
"Oh, children's clothes, I don't have any ready-to-wear yet, but I can make one for you right away. ”
The proprietress pondered for a moment, then took out a bundle of black fabric of indiscernible material from under the counter. After a little comparison, a pair of cold scissors flew up.
The scissors flew up and down, and the discarded cloth flew like fallen leaves. In a few moments, the fabric took shape and took on the appearance of clothes.
The proprietress stretched her clothes lightly, pinched the needle with one hand, held the thread with the other, licked and slipped, threaded the needle and led the thread, all in one go, the golden needle was flying, the ink line was interspersed, and the shuttle was like a shuttle.
In the blink of an eye, a black half-sleeved short shirt appeared in the hands of the proprietress.
The proprietress shook the clothes in her hand, exhaled slightly, handed the clothes to Hu Yan's hand and said, "Do you think this dress is still suitable?"
At this moment, Hu Yan was still immersed in the graceful figure of the proprietress cutting clothes, and was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said: "It's really ingenious and seamless!"
The proprietress smiled and said, "You know the goods." ”
I have to say that the tailoring skills of this proprietress have reached the pinnacle, and in a short period of time, a piece of clothing is ready. And look at the clothes are novel, comfortable and beautiful. If you want to come to it, you will definitely like it.
"Thank you, hostess. Hu Yan glanced at the proprietress gratefully, but when he saw the proprietress looking at him like silk, her face suddenly turned red and she lowered her head silently.
"Giggles, look at your shy appearance, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat you. It's really funny. Alright, you put away your clothes. By the way, you shouldn't want this smelly dress. The proprietress laughed and trembled, wrapped the clothes Hu Yan had chosen, and handed them to Hu Yan.
Hu Yan was still hesitant to ask Zhuang Bai for that dress, but thinking about it, the clothes were already tattered and dirty. It's also a burden to hold it, so it's better not to do it.
"Don't, boss, you can dispose of it yourself. Hu Yan agreed, hugged a bag of clothes, and said gratefully: "Thank you, boss, I'll go first." ”
"Go, go!" the proprietress waved her hand and watched the nonsense go with a smile.
Back in the house, the proprietress looked at the tattered clothes, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, she stretched out her pink tongue and lightly added red lips and said with a foxy face: "What an interesting little brother, it's a pity that it's too small, otherwise ......"
