Chapter 141 Spend the night in Delingha

Delingha is a small city, very beautiful and exquisite. The Bayin River passes through the city, adding aura to it.Tranquility is the first impression that comes to Delingha. There is no busy traffic in big cities. The roads are wide and there are very few vehicles, giving people a feeling of relaxation and relaxation.

The night in Delingha is beautiful. The starry sky in the city at an altitude of nearly 3000 meters is clear and deep, and it is endless as far as the eye can see. It seems that it is the poetry and distance of Haizi!Delingha is also a very important city on the Gansu-Qinghai Ring Road. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway passes through the city. Standing on the streets of Delingha and looking northward, you will see the undulating mountains, like a crescent moon, surrounding this small city. She is Cypress Mountain, one of the scenic spots in Delingha. The continuous mountains are like courage, guarding this pearl of the plateau at your feet.Since there was no reservation in advance, Ma Xiaoliang and Zhao Cui searched three places before finding the hotel. The conditions were indeed average, but there was no need to compromise when going out to play. Since a group of local travelers saw a group going to the alien ruins, Ma Xiaoliang signed up. , and confirmed the time and place with the team leader, and then felt relieved to take Zhao Cui to dinner!
As the capital of Haixi Prefecture, Delingha has the most authentic Mongolian and Tibetan specialties, such as plateau herdsmen’s whole sheep, hand-caught mutton, milk tea, etc. Since it is summer, Dara, Qula and yogurt are everywhere!Zhao Cui remembered the sour yogurt that she couldn't stand in Xining, so she didn't dare to drink it and chose milk tea instead.Zhao Cui was particularly curious when she saw a winter pear selling on the roadside. After asking, she found out that they were picked and stored in the winter solstice. They tasted extremely sweet, so they were called "winter pear"!I had known that winter pears don’t like high temperatures and humidity, nor do they like low temperatures and bitter cold, so they are abundant in Delingha, which is neither hot in summer nor bitterly cold in winter!I bought one and wanted to share it, but I immediately thought that pears should never be divided, so I bought 6 of them. Although Ma Xiaoliang was prepared to feel heartache, he didn't expect that the price was about the same as in the mainland, so he didn't feel any pain at all!
After walking for a while, smelling the smell of mutton, Ma Xiaoliang's legs could no longer walk. Zhao Cui thought to himself, no wonder this guy insisted on coming to the northwest. It turned out to be to eat meat, and he also deceived himself by saying that the northwest is so beautiful, Jiangnan is too hot, the southwest is boring, and the northeast I wanted to go in the winter, and I suddenly felt so angry that I knew how to eat. My aunt would never agree with it tonight, so she took Ma Xiaoliang and left decisively. After walking around in a big circle, I found that everything was related to meat. What? Offal soup, roasted whole lamb, kang lamb chops, grilled lamb skewers, grilled chicken wings, grilled blood sausage, plateau grass carp, etc. Finally, I finally found a restaurant: stuffed skin!

Stuffed skin is made by mixing a certain amount of fluffy ash and dressing into wheat flour, making it into a hard dough with warm water, and kneading it several times. After the dough is fine and smooth, it is then placed in cold water and washed continuously to wash out the starch, and the dough becomes a honeycomb shape. When cooking, put it into a steamer and steam it, which is called "gluten". Then scoop the precipitated starch paste into a steaming tray and steam it, which is called "steamed stuffed skin".The stuffed skin is steamed, peeled off from the plate, cut into long strips, served with gluten, and topped with vinegar, spicy oil, mustard, chives, garlic and other condiments. It tastes spicy, cool, has a soft and delicate texture, and has a long aftertaste!Zhao Cui ordered 2 portions. She felt that if she didn’t give him any meat, she would be in trouble at night, so she decided to buy 2 skewers of mutton!I just didn’t expect that the mutton here is made from the freshest mutton, cut into thumb-sized slices, skewered on an iron skewer, and dipped in soy sauce, refined salt, ginger powder, chili powder, Sichuan pepper powder, star anise powder and other condiments. Put the seasoning liquid on a special rectangular oven and bake it over fire, flipping it constantly and brushing the seasoning liquid on it at any time. Bake it until the surface is crispy and brown and the meat is cooked. Zhao Cui was greedy even before it came out of the oven, so he simply asked for it again. 2 skewers, and he also wanted to eat 2 skewers. The seller of mutton skewers told Zhao Cui to eat it while it is hot, as it will not taste good when it is cold, so there was a scene like this: Zhao Cui ate while walking, praising the tenderness and flavor of the meat, if he had put less in it. Chili powder would have been better, but I didn’t expect to finish it before arriving at the hotel. Ma Xiaoliang was crying with two portions of stuffed skin in her hand!
