The Immortal Road of Rebirth

Chapter 75: Food City (2)
"There is a famous 'Sanjue Monument' in the Wuhou Temple. It is also the 'Shuhan Prime Minister Zhuge Wuhou Ancestral Monument' in the Tang Dynasty. This monument has a high cultural value and is a national first-class cultural relic.

It was written by Pei Du, a famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, written by Liu Gongchuo, a calligrapher, and engraved by Lu Jian, a famous craftsman.Pei's articles, Liu's calligraphy, and Lu's engraving skills are all excellent, so later generations are known as the three outstanding monuments. "

Xiaoxiao is very prepared to grasp the key point:

"Father, what is the relationship between Liu Gongchuo and Liu Gongquan who created the 'Yan Ti'?"

The father was extremely proud of his daughter's intelligence and sensitivity, and took advantage of the unpreparedness to kiss Xiaoxiao's face before answering Xiaoxiao's question:
"Good girl, did you hear it from the name? They are brothers."

Ye Xiu also honored his sister in due course:

"Mom and Dad, do you know? Grandpa said Xiaoxiao is good at calligraphy. He is smart and hardworking."

Xiaoxiao is very ashamed: I am not very hardworking, okay, brother, you are too good at flattering...

Soon, several people came to the entrance of Jinli Street, and at the same time saw the gate of Wuhou Temple on the left side of the street.

There is an archway at the entrance of the street with a plaque with the word "Jinli" written on it.Beside the plaque are two big red lanterns.

Walking into the street, there are antique pavements of blue bricks and white tiles on both sides.The shop sells some local grassroots things: chopsticks, tea, lanterns, local specialties.

There are also some craft stalls on the street, making clay figurines, turning sugar paintings, and paper-cutting, all of which are full of childishness.

The name of this hot pot restaurant recommended by Papa Ye is very vulgar, it is called "Laiyiguo".The name is very vulgar, but the decoration of the store is not vulgar, and it does not have a simple taste.

The hot pot restaurant is in a separate courtyard.As soon as they arrived at the door, a waiter dressed as a waiter in an antique shop greeted them and greeted them along the winding stone path beside the small lotus pond in the yard to the lobby.

It was time for dinner at this time, and there were quite a lot of people in the store, which was a bit noisy and lively.

The general uniform that Papa Ye had not replaced was obviously the best pass. The manager of the store greeted them enthusiastically, and personally led several people into the private room reserved for special guests.

The area of ​​the private room is not small, about twenty square meters.The interior decoration is quite ancient, and there are several genre paintings on the wall.There are sofas and tables against the wall.In the middle is a round table dedicated to eating hot pot, enough to seat a dozen people.

The children were all hungry, so they didn't take a break, and Mother Ye directly chose the dishes that everyone liked to eat and ordered them to be served.

Papa Ye was very reasonable and even ordered special wine from the store for the boys.

The soup base of the hot pot has already been prepared, and the manager is in charge of Papa Ye's table, so the speed is very fast.In less than half an hour, the soup pot was boiling, and the dishes were ready to eat.

The Three Musketeers and Xiaoxiao are both used to Beijing-style hot pot.Such as Donglaishun and other old BJ hot pots all pay attention to three points:
The hot pot is prosperous.The charcoal-burning brass pot full of Beijing accent and Beijing charm is specially made and has a strong firepower.A dozen or so people dine around the hot pot. Within two hours, the hot pot keeps the soup boiling without adding charcoal halfway.

Selection of materials fine.The sheep used for instant mutton comes from Inner Mongolia.

Fragrant seasoning.Put sesame paste, Shaoxing wine, soy bean curd, chive flower, shrimp oil, chili oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, green onion, coriander and other condiments in small bowls, and you can adjust it according to your personal taste.

The Sichuan hot pot that is eaten now is quite different.As soon as the soup base was boiled, there was an appetizing aroma in the room.After the dish is cooked, it has a spicy and delicious taste without seasoning.

Speaking of it, Xiaoxiao is not considered to be able to eat spicy food.I lived in Shanghai in my previous life, and my grandfather’s family in this life pays more attention to light taste and balanced nutrition. Naturally, there is no chance to develop a spicy taste.

Mother Ye chose a base that was only averagely spicy for Chengdu people, making Xiaoxiao and the others flushed and sweating on their foreheads. The "Three Musketeers" lacked the same spicy demeanor, let alone drinking.

The few people were reluctant to eat, so they had to pour down the iced sour plum soup while continuing to stuff their mouths with vegetables.Perhaps, this is the charm of Chengdu hot pot.

After a meal, it is painful and refreshing.The tastes are indescribable.

After dinner, the group went home without waiting, and walked slowly on Jinli Street along the way.While talking, while digesting food.

The lights hidden in the red lanterns have been lit on the side of the road at night. The lights are not bright, but just have a hazy atmosphere.

There are people coming and going on the street, accompanied by the yelling of street vendors, and there is a different kind of tranquility amidst the noise.It makes people feel that they are in the world and their hearts are outside the crowd.

Occasionally, Ye's mother bought Xiaoxiao some snacks with local characteristics.It's a pity that Xiaoxiao's stomach is already full without any gaps.So, the poor brothers had to sacrifice their image, holding or carrying a few bags of snacks in their hands.Let them instantly return to the normal image of the brother next door from the aloof noble son.

A woman with shopping addiction is crazy, and a mother who loves her daughter into obsession can't afford it.

Back home, leaving aside other people's arrangements, Ye's father was kicked out of the bedroom to sleep with his brother, and his place was replaced by Xiaoxiao.

It was rare that Xiaoxiao was absent from the training in the space at night, but was held in her mother's arms, asking and communicating carefully for half the night.

In the end, I fell asleep peacefully amidst my mother's nagging, and had a good night's dream.
