Chapter 987 Roujiamo and Hu La Tang

But Li Yali understood it in an instant, and a blush slowly crept up her cheeks.

After all, as the best friend of the most powerful demon king in Shishi Middle School, although she had never experienced certain things, she shamelessly understood them...

Well, too.

It's indeed time to exercise some restraint.

After all, he has several girlfriends.

Not to mention the two in Huating, there are already four of them right in front of us.

Li Yali felt that the only difference between Qingyun and Wei Xiaobao at this moment was that he was still missing a wife.

After giving the three fake sisters a cold look, she took out her phone and changed the subject.
"I'm not very familiar with Huimin Street, so I asked my roommates which restaurant is good to eat at. They are locals and should know."

How could she, a young girl, have the nerve to talk about moderation with three women?

All I can say is that she doesn’t understand their world!
I don’t want to understand!

However, the look in her eyes when she looked at Qing Yun quietly also changed a little.

or……

Or should I find some time to secretly persuade this guy?

After all, even elementary school students know that it is located at the foot of Xianger Mountain, beside Mozhen Creek.

Qing Yun caught Li Yali's glance and was slightly stunned, then a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He easily broke the delicate atmosphere in the car and suggested, "What restaurant should we go to? Just a street stall will do. Things like spicy soup and roujiamo, the taste in the restaurant is not as authentic as in the street stalls."

There was a hint of cynicism in his tone, as if he was not impressed by those so-called high-end restaurants.

Mainly because of Li Yali’s cautious expression just now, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Emperor Yun felt that she underestimated him.

He doesn't want to 'change friends for the better'.

He is still the youngest one.

Especially in high school, he especially cherished those classmates who were very kind to him.

not to mention……

Yun Di silently compared in his mind that the so-called specialty restaurants on the main street of Huimin Street and the Jinli Snack Street in Jincheng both seemed to be unable to escape the rule of being "unpalatable".

The food is all unpalatable anyway, so why should I go to the restaurant and spend more money?
It’s better to find a restaurant in a small alley, where you might find some hidden delicacies.

After hearing Qing Yun's words, Li Yali's eyes flashed with hesitation.

Chen Yue and others were accustomed to Qing Yun's proposal. They knew that this guy was not particular about details and preferred down-to-earth food.

This is especially true for Qin Manyan. As a little princess who has lived a life of luxury since childhood, she has been particularly fond of those street stalls since she was brought into the mortal world by this guy in the end of her senior year in high school.

Tang Qianying smiled and continued, "Yes, Yali, don't worry. He is easy to feed, as long as he has something to eat, don't worry, just follow me, I guarantee it will be delicious!
Changan, I have come here with my dad so many times. "

Chen Yue also nodded in agreement, "That's right, even though you are studying in college here, if you want to know which stalls in Huimin Street are delicious, you might not be as good as Tang Qianying, the pig."

Li Yali smiled helplessly when she heard this.

Well, when it comes to finding food, Lady Qianying is second to none.

"Believe Qianying. After all, she is just a pig. She is too lazy to move except when eating."

Qin Manyan's finishing blow made Tang Qianying go crazy.

What does it mean to be too lazy to move!
There is no way to move!

It’s as big as my stinky little brother!

And, damn, you are speaking in code, right?

Who wouldn’t!

With her hands on her hips, the little girl fired back, "You are the pig! Water-injected pork! Water will come out when you press it!"

Qin Manyan bit her lip and glared at the Dirty Demon King in front of her angrily, "It's better than some pigs who don't even know who their father is!"

This kind of conversation completely confused Li Zhaojun.

What are they talking about?
Every word was in Chinese, but when put together she felt that the meaning of the words was different from what she usually understood.

It seems like I understood it, but also like I didn’t.

Li Yali, who was confused, instinctively looked at Chen Yue, only to see Mr. Chen covering his mouth and laughing secretly, as if he was afraid of getting into trouble.

Li Yali suddenly lost the desire to understand.

Obviously, these three plastic sisters are a family.

And I am just an outsider.

……

Roujiamo, this name is undoubtedly a false advertisement.

It's clearly a steamed bun with meat.

As for why it is called "roujiamo" instead of "mojiarou", this is a philosophical question.

Wittgenstein once said that all philosophical problems are ultimately language problems.

The original name is undoubtedly steamed bun with meat.

But the Sanqin dialect causes "mo jia rou" to sound like "mo jia rou".

"Mei" means "no" in Sanqin dialect, which means "no meat".

So a big reversal led to today's 'roujiamo'.

Regarding the origin of Roujiamo, I have consulted various materials and found many versions. The most common version is from ancient legends. The second is that it must be the lost gourmet Emperor Qianlong, who was blind and often couldn't find the way, and then he discovered a local delicacy.

It's basically a routine, so it's better not to mention it.

Qingyun felt that the most reliable statement was the one in Volume 4 of Chang'an City Annals, on economy, which Tang's father had mentioned that year.

In the 14th year of the Republic of China, Fan Bingren from Lantian started a business selling cured pork in Chang'an City. However, he found that most of the diners were porters who were not convenient to enter the store with luggage because they also had to watch the luggage. So he combined the cured pork with Baiji steamed bun and sandwiched the cured pork in the bun. This made it convenient for diners to hold the carrying pole with one hand and eat with the other hand.

From then on, Roujiamo was born.

Therefore, the most authentic Roujiamo restaurant must be Fanji Lazhirou Restaurant.

Of course, the locals in Chang'an don't think so.

Among the locals in Chang'an, you can only get this answer: "The one at the door of my house is the most authentic!"

At most, you can get another answer, 'My mom's Zouhadi is the best!'

Well, this may be the most authentic Chang'an Roujiamo and the most authentic life of Chang'an people.

Therefore, under Tang Qianying's guidance, the car did not stop at the main street of Huimin Street. After passing the Drum Tower and going out of the city wall, it came directly to Zhuba City and stopped directly in front of Fanji Lazhi Meat Shop.

However, what surprised Li Yali was that Qingyun asked them to stay in the car while she got out to buy the items, but only bought two.

One was given to 'Sister Xiaoya' in front, and the other was cut into four portions for them to share.

This……

Li Yali was stunned.

This reckless preference?!
Or in front of Qin Manyan?
Qingyun smiled when she saw this, "Sister Xiaoya is from the Northeast and doesn't like spicy food, so she will find this kind of roujiamo delicious. We will find a shop opened by someone from Western Sichuan later."

He pointed to the small pieces they were given and shrugged, "You'll know once you taste it. The green pepper in it... I don't think it's hot pepper anyway."

The most common pepper in Sanqin is Qin pepper.

It is fragrant but not spicy, and paired with oil-splashed noodles, most people would think it tastes amazing.

But people from Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Chongqing and Hunan and Jiangxi will feel...

It tastes like chewing wax.

Qin Manyan took a sip and commented, "It's a bit like fruit."

Li Yali specifically picked out two and ate them, with an expression that was hard to describe.

Seeing this, Mr. Chen simply put the roujiamo aside.

Tang Qianying wrinkled her nose at him in annoyance and snorted, "Don't be picky when you go out to travel and eat!"

As a famous gourmet, Lady Qianying's taste is almost universal.

With the separation of Bashu, the province with the largest number of Chinese people is no longer Western Shu.

But in China, the place with the most chefs is definitely Xishu, and they are spread all over the country.

The most important thing is that most areas of Western Shu are not rich and the regional economic level is low, forcing the people of Western Shu to run away and enter various industries to find jobs and make a living.

The eight major cuisines each have their own merits, but Sichuan cuisine is definitely the street king.

Among the 34 provincial-level administrative units in the country, Sichuan cuisine has a market share of more than 29% in 15 provincial-level units, far ahead of Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine's 4, while Cantonese cuisine has only two. As for the world-renowned Shandong cuisine, it has zero.

If we have to talk about grade and style, food is the most important thing for people. If the general public can't eat it, then what's the point of talking about it?

What's more, how many people have eaten top-notch Sichuan cuisine?

If we really talk about grade and style, once the ban is lifted and Northeastern cuisine comes out, all other cuisines will be sidelined.

The essence of delicious food lies in the people, not in the price or decoration.

Of course, this does not apply to shops run by young ladies, after all, beauty is a feast to the eyes.

So, when the car was slowly driving onto a small street next to Huimin Street, he decisively shouted to stop the car.

No little sister.

There was only a man wearing a green apron.

At village banquets in Western Sichuan, men would wear aprons, most of which were decorated with pink or red floral patterns.

The blue apron is the exclusive uniform of the chef.

What's more, a bottle of Shaofeng and Pixian bean paste next to the stall further proves his identity as an authentic Western Sichuan chef.

As Yun Di expected, after getting off the car, he switched to Western Shu dialect and successfully started a conversation with the boss.

But unfortunately, the boss only had Erjingtiao peppers, not Yanyuan peppers.

Come to think of it, it's too spicy and not suitable for Chang'an.

When all the dishes are brought to a certain place, there is no need to think about maintaining the authentic taste, otherwise they will be deserted. They must be improved according to local conditions.

Just find any Hu La Tang restaurant. It didn’t originate in Chang’an, but in Yuzhou.

To be honest, Chang'an's Hu La Tang is a product that has been modified to suit the eating habits and tastes of the local Hui ethnic group. It is completely different from Yuzhou's Hu La Tang.

I won’t talk about the meatballs and diced meat, it’s just the shape of the ingredients.

The main difference is that Yuzhou uses fresh mutton soup as the base soup and thickens it with the water used to wash gluten, while Chang'an Hu La Tang uses beef bone soup as the base soup and thickens it with potato starch.

In terms of taste, Chang'an's Hu La Tang is less spicy and more numbing. In fact, it should be called "Hu Ma Tang".

It’s a pity that at this point in time, Fang Zhongshan Hu La Tang has not yet opened in Chang’an.

While drinking the non-spicy spicy soup, Li Yali asked, "Youngest, where do you want to go shopping today?"
