Chapter 13: Lin Taiping

Xu Zidao's order was quickly served, and the first dish on the table was the signature dish of a tavern, "Cherry Biluo Crisp".

This signature dish is not simple, but is inherited from an ancestral recipe.

Xu Zidao also became obsessed with this taste after eating it for the first time, and he must order it every time he comes.

Mo Xiaoqi shrugged her nose, a fragrant aroma rose like a curling, straight into her nose, the little girl showed an intoxicated smile on her face, and her two eyes were even more smiling like crescents, but even if she was already greedy, she still didn't do anything, just stared at Xu Zidao greedily, the meaning was unclear.

Xu Zidao showed a smile on his face, picked up a piece of cherry Biluo crisp and put it in Mo Xiaoqi's bowl, and said, "Try it, see if you like it." ”

Mo Xiaoqi couldn't help it for a long time, smiled at Xu Zidao, and then couldn't wait to pick up this piece of cherry Biluo crisp and stuff it into his mouth.

The little girl took a bite lightly, and suddenly showed a satisfied look on her face, nodding while eating, and at the same time spitting out bursts of heat in her mouth, the freshly baked cherry Biluo crisp was still a little hot, but in front of the deliciousness, it was nothing.

"Eat slowly, don't burn it, and!" Xu Zidao said softly, and at the same time sandwiched a piece for himself.

Bi Luo Nai is a special food of Chang'an, after it was spread to the Northern Desert, it became more popular and became a classic food in the streets and alleys, but especially the cherry Bi Luo crisp in a tavern is the most famous, which makes people know the taste.

Xu Zidao took a bite gently, and a unique aroma of cherries suddenly filled his mouth, smooth and soft, sweet and delicious, the unique cherry crisp was thick but not greasy, and it could maintain the bright red and pink color after several roasts, which was worthy of being a must in Tancheng.

Soon, Xu Zidao and Mo Xiaoqi finished eliminating the cherry Biluo crisp, and the two burped with satisfaction, and the second dish was served.

This dish is also the signature dish of a tavern, and it is said that it is even more delicious than the cherry Bilo crisp.

Xu Zidao couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and taste this thin strand of golden orange shredded fish tart.

This dish comes from the south and is made with fresh, transparent thinly sliced fish dried on a cloth, shredded, and mixed with green onions, ginger, garlic, mustard, soy sauce and vinegar.

The thinner the silk cut, the better, there is also an allusion to this, according to legend, there was once a southerner, he cut the silk thin can be blown up by the mouth, one day, the air suddenly stormy, after a burst of thunder, all the silk turned into butterflies and flew away.

The selection of ingredients for this dish is the most important, first choose the fish, then make the belly, pay attention to freshness.

This fish is transported from Wu County in the south through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, when the frost falls in the eleventh and second month of the lunar calendar, the fishermen in Songjiang of Wu County break the ice to catch the sea bass and put ice cubes, take advantage of the cold weather and are not easy to deteriorate, transport it to Chang'an, and then transport it from Chang'an to the desert.

The fish is cut into thin strips, marinated and then drained, eaten with fragrant flowers and leaves, and added with the golden orange that has been cut into thin strips, which is really a must in the world.

Xu Zidao couldn't help but move his index finger, picked up a piece of crystal fish and put it in his mouth, his teeth bited lightly, and a fragrant and delicate feeling suddenly filled the tip of his tongue, which was also mixed with the fragrance and sourness of golden orange, which made people flutter and indulge in it, and it was difficult to extricate himself.

When Mo Xiaoqi saw Xu Zidao's enjoyment, he couldn't help but put a piece in his mouth, biting lightly, it was sweet and refreshing, and his face showed the same expression of enjoyment as Xu Zidao.

She has never eaten such a delicious thing when she is so old, and she can only eat some vegetarian dishes with Master Huideng since she was a child, which is not only light in taste, but also very small in portion.

The two didn't speak, just stuffy their heads and ate vegetables, although the little girl was hungry, but after all, she was a girl, and the speed of eating vegetables was naturally not fast, Xu Zidao was different, he was a martial arts practitioner, and his daily consumption was amazing, so eating was naturally a whale swallowing cow chewing, and after a while, this fish belly entered the stomachs of the two.

The little girl touched her round belly, looked at Xu Zidao and smiled, and then took the chopsticks and continued to the next dish.

This dish is still a famous dish in the south of the Yangtze River, called deer belly stuffed Jiang Yao, which is to cut the deer belly into two pieces, fill the belly with dried scallops, chicken mincing, ham and other things, and add the sauce to eat after steaming, and the finished dish is crisp and tender, smooth and fresh.

Smelling the tempting aroma, Xu Zidao secretly swallowed his saliva, but did not move the chopsticks immediately, but picked up the high-grade bamboo leaf green that had already been placed aside, first brought himself a bowl, and after taking a sip, he moved the chopsticks.

The aroma of wine and the crispness of deer belly are mixed together, which is really the most beautiful enjoyment in the world.

He is an alcoholic, he is not happy without alcohol, and he must drink first every time he eats, but considering that the previous two dishes are repulsive to the taste of bamboo leaf green, he has been enduring the addiction to alcohol, and finally waited until this deer belly stuffed Jiang Yao was on the table, how could he bear it now.

Just when Xu Zidao was drinking bamboo leaves one bowl after another, a dirty man called Huazi suddenly came in from the gate, and while the shopkeeper was not paying attention, he rushed to Xu Zidao's table and sat down, picked up the dishes on the table and stuffed them into his mouth.

The little girl was startled by the sudden appearance of Hanako, and the bowl in her hand was a little unstable and almost fell off.

Huazi ignored Mo Xiaoqi's surprised eyes, and as if no one was around, he picked up the food and stuffed it into his mouth, and a pair of dirty black hands made a mess of the original delicacies with all the colors and flavors, while he himself was gobbling it up beside him.

Xu Zidao's hand holding the wine hung in the air, and he looked at the flower child who suddenly appeared in front of him in some astonishment, and he didn't react for a while, and when he understood what was going on, most of the food on the table had gone into the stomach of the flower child, and the cups and plates were very messy, Xu Zidao suddenly had no desire to eat, just looked at the flower child in a daze.

This is called Hanako dressed in a shabby linen cotton jacket, her figure is a little thin, her hair is fluffy but very clean, black and shiny, and her cheeks are dirty, but she can still faintly see some delicateness, of course, the most eye-catching thing about his whole body is that pair of smart big eyes, clear and bright, like a pool of spring water, can calm people's mood.

Xu Zidao's gaze was very gentle, with an unknown smile, which usually does not appear in a person who has lived in hatred since childhood.

But he is an exception.

The predecessors of the sword slave not only taught him martial arts, but also taught him the truth of being a man, the blood and the sea of hatred naturally want to be revenged, but he must not be blinded by hatred, always maintain a normal heart, gentle, humble, rational, elegant, is his biggest harvest in the past 18 years.

"Eat! Why don't you eat it? Doesn't this dish taste good? Why don't you move your chopsticks? Oh, I know you're being polite, what I'm most afraid of is that others will be polite to me, come, eat quickly, it's not delicious when it's cold!"

Asked Huazi to pinch a piece of deer belly in one hand and pick up a piece of ham in the other, and while stuffing it into his mouth, he looked at Xu Zidao and the two of them with their innocent eyes and said in wonder.

Listening to his tone, he completely regarded himself as the master here, and Xu Zidao and the two became rubbers.

Mo Xiaoqi rolled her eyes when she heard this, her head shook like a rattle, she didn't want to eat if she was killed, the girls' families were all clean, and she was also very full, and the food in front of her was enough to pay tribute to her five internal organs temple.

Xu Zidao looked at this dirty Huazi with some amusement, and said: "Brother Tai seems to be very happy to eat, do you want to call you another table, look at Brother Tai's appearance, I'm afraid I haven't eaten for some days!"

"Yes, yes, for your sake, Ben Xiao...... I will reluctantly let you be my follower!" Hanako's big watery eyes suddenly bent into a pair of crescents, and two shallow dimples appeared on her face.

He ate quickly, and soon the food on the table was swept away by him, and it became empty, and he only burped, and the expression on his face was still unfinished.

Xu Zidao smiled, automatically ignored the last sentence of Xiao Huazi, snapped his fingers with his left hand, and greeted Xiao Er.

The shopkeeper ran over with sweat on his head and said, "Guest officer, what are your orders?"

Before Xu Zidao could speak, this little Huazi preemptively spoke: "Send all the good wine and food you have here, and clean up the table by the way." ”

The shopkeeper glanced at the appearance of Huazi, and hesitated, but looked at Xu Zidao and said, "This ......"

Xu Zidao nodded, "Just do as he says!"

Seeing Xu Zidao nodding, the shopkeeper hurriedly walked away, but Hanako was a little angry on the side, his face was puffed up, and he was obviously still worried about the eyes of the shopkeeper just now.

Seeing this, Xu Zidao shook his head, poured himself a bowl of wine, and said, "I don't know what Brother Tai is called?"

Xiao Hanako didn't speak, but closed her eyes and shrugged her nose, and said, "Fifty-year-old bamboo leaves are green, good wine." ”

Xu Zidao's eyes lit up, and based on this sentence alone, it can be seen that Xiao Huazi is a fellow practitioner.

"I didn't expect Brother Tai to be a big connoisseur of drinking!"

Xiao Hanako slowly opened her eyes, poured herself a bowl first, drank it all, and then said: "It's not an expert, but a drunkard." ”

Xu Zidao smiled, this person is also quite interesting.

Xiao Huazi poured another bowl for herself, and after touching Xu Zidao, she said, "You can call me Lin Taiping, what about you?"

"Xu Zidao, this is my little sister Mo Xiaoqi!"

After the two said this, they didn't speak again, they just kept toasting, originally there was only one drunkard at this table, but since Lin Taiping came, they have become two drunkards.

It's better for two drunkards to drink than for one drunkard.

Soon, the wine jar was empty, but the two of them were as if they were fine, Lin Taiping had already feasted on the food on the table, he was not the same as ordinary people eating, ordinary people generally eat with chopsticks, but he eats with his hands, in his words, he can eat with his hands, so why bother to eat with chopsticks?

There is some truth to this.
