I weave fate in parallel time and space

Chapter 329 Fireworks
The style of this city is very different from that of the imperial capital.

The imperial capital has more exchanges with Europe, so it is influenced by the West, and the buildings are mostly Western-style classicism.

But the west side is different. Shaar even thought that he came to Beichen. Both the eaves and the pillars were designed with architectural integration, which is very similar to Beichen, but there are also some Western-style neoclassical buildings mixed in, such as churches, There are also some Western-style palaces in the bell tower.

Now is the Lantern Festival, the whole city is hung with orange lanterns, and the whole city seems to have become a golden city that exudes golden light, shining with scorching brilliance, which makes Xia feel like he is looking at Hongya Cave in Chongqing .

Char used to think that a mix of Eastern and Western styles would give people a sense of incompatibility.But the city is different. The huge architectural complexes with different styles bring people a sense of prosperity of "all nations come to Korea", and a feeling of a world cultural exchange center.

Of course, the main reason is that these brilliant lights add a lot of points, otherwise this sense of prosperity can also be said to be a sense of colonialism.

The location of the courtyard of the house chosen by Shaar is really excellent, and the scenery of the whole city can be seen.

However, the most eye-catching thing is the table in the middle of the courtyard, on which a lot of food has been placed. Dongpo meat, Longjing shrimp and other dishes exude attractive colors, and the grilled fish is boiling on the stove. There is also a jar of Buddha jumping over the wall on the side.

Alicia used magic to maintain the freshness and temperature of these foods, allowing them to sit down and eat these dishes as if they were just out of the pan, which is much easier to use than technology and hard work.

As they each sat down, the magic set by Alicia gradually unraveled, and the aroma of the food on the table made the index finger move.

"Let's serve dinner." Xia Ya said.

He first picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of Longjing shrimp. The shrimp is jade white, fresh and tender, the buds and leaves are fragrant, and the color is elegant. He put the shrimp into the mouth. The shrimp has the fragrance of tea, and the tea has fresh shrimp, fresh and soft. , endless aftertaste.

Xia Ya and Alicia have eaten this Longjing Shrimp once, and they have never forgotten it. Both he and Alicia like to eat shrimp, and the taste is really unique.

Seeing that Shaar started, and she hadn't eaten dinner, Sissy, who was already hungry, couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks. She lives in this city, and the city is populated by Chinese people, so it's normal for her to know how to use chopsticks things.

But after picking up the chopsticks, she was a little embarrassed, because there were so many delicious things, and she didn't know which one to pick up for a while.

"Let's drink the soup first." Alicia whispered, "The soup tastes best when it's hot."

She stretched out her hand to open the lid of the altar in the middle of the table, and the rich aroma rushed to her face, refreshing, and the thick brown soup was dotted with various ingredients, like a work of art.

That is Buddha jumping over the wall, which has been one of the representative dishes of China since ancient times.It is said that someone wrote a poem after tasting this dish, saying: "The smell of meat from the altar floats to the neighbors, and the Buddha jumped over the wall after hearing the abandonment of Zen." This is the origin of its name.

There are dozens of raw materials for making Buddha Tiaoqiang, including abalone, sea cucumber, shark's fin, scallops, fish lips, shiitake mushrooms, bamboo fungus, tendons... Some ingredients come from the deep sea, and some ingredients come from high mountains. It can be said that it is a collection of delicacies from mountains and seas altar.

Alicia's requirements for this family dinner are relatively high, so the materials used are also top-notch.For example, abalone is not the small abalone that costs a few dollars each, you must use nine-headed abalone; sea cucumbers should choose high-quality sea cucumbers with six rows of thorns on both sides and two pointed ends; shiitake mushrooms are the top mushrooms in the mountains.

The production process of Buddha Tiaoqiang is very complicated and exquisite, the cooking process is very time-consuming and labor-intensive, and there are many kinds of ingredients, each of which needs to be processed separately.

Shark fins should be soaked and cleaned, boiled and then steamed; abalones should be cleaned and then steamed; pigeon eggs should be boiled and peeled...

In ancient times, a team of chefs made this dish, and it took at least ten days from preparing the ingredients to serving it.

The soup of Buddha Tiaoqiang is boiled for ten hours with pork leg bones, chicken bones, duck bones, scallops, etc., and then the pre-processed ingredients are added to the soup, and the fire is simmered slowly. After several hours of waiting, the pot is delicious The Buddha jumps over the wall to be born.

This is not something Alicia can do, so she ordered it directly from Beichen's restaurant, and is the chef of the state banquet.

Alicia picked up the spoon on one side, scooped some soup and abalone and sea cucumber from Sissy's bowl and put them in front of her.

"Thank you," Sissy said.

"Try a sip first." Alicia whispered.

Qianqian picked up the small bowl and drank it, took a sip of the soup into her throat, and the umami taste of various ingredients exploded in her mouth instantly, which greatly increased the appetite, with endless aftertaste, soft and tender, rich meaty aroma, and meaty taste. But not greasy, taste in the taste.

She only felt that her limbs and bones were warmed by this soup, and she scooped up another piece of abalone and put it in her mouth. After a long time of slow cooking, the abalone was already soft and rotten, but it was rotten and not rotten, with a delicate taste .

"tasty?"

"Yeah." Alicia was chewing sea cucumbers, her face was a little rosy.

Alicia's eyelids closed slightly, and she put another piece of Dongpo pork in another bowl, "Try this again, you should like it."

"We haven't had dinner together for a long time." Isabel said while drinking the soup from Buddha Jumping Over the Wall.

"Christmas didn't come after Mother died," Alicia said.

"Yes." Isabel murmured softly with her eyes downcast.

"It's getting closer, and I feel like we can see each other every day, so I don't care so much about getting together." Eugenia said quietly.

Isabel looked at her in surprise and teased, "How can you still say such philosophical words?"

Eugenia glanced at her angrily, "You and I are not too young."

Shaar showed a slight smile, picked up a piece of fish dipped in juice from the grilled fish with his chopsticks, and put it in his mouth. The hot and tender fish melted in his mouth, with a thorough spicy taste.

"In the future, we can get together often." Arthur said, "In this world, the connection of blood is always the closest."

"Not necessarily. In this world, there are blood relatives who have turned against each other." Eugenia took a sip of soup gracefully and said, "For example, our father and Victor."

As her words fell, there was a little silence here.

"Yeah." Isabel nodded, "This is the you I know well. You, a fool with no emotional intelligence, still look the same as before."

A well-marked word appeared on Eugenia's forehead. She seemed to want to say something, but the movement from one side attracted their attention.

"Peng!"

In the city, fireworks bloom in the night sky with a long trail of smoke, and the gorgeous fireworks illuminate the night sky of the city.It also makes the already noisy and bustling city even more lively.

"It's fireworks!"

Cici shouted excitedly. She got up from her seat and came to the fence of the courtyard. She stared at the fireworks with her eyes wide open, and the fireworks were reflected in her bright eyes.

She also happens to be the age who likes fireworks at her age.

Alicia also liked this beauty, she moved the chair to Char's side and leaned on his shoulder to enjoy the fireworks together.

Fireworks are ephemeral things that burn, take off, bloom, and disappear.It's just a short time, so short that people think it's just a beautiful illusion.

But this is a bloom of its best efforts, only once in a lifetime, and then it will be silent forever.

After living for a long time, she will fall in love with this momentary beauty that blooms with all her strength, so she also likes Epiphyllum, and she has a lot of them in her room.

Xia also likes fireworks, but what he likes is to watch fireworks with his family. The important people are all around, and the one he loves is snuggled by his side. There is nothing more beautiful than this.

He is enjoying life so much now.

However, the more comfortable life is, the faster time will pass.
