Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire

  Chapter 261 [Rare diners in the yokan shop]

  First of all, there are large bowls of diced meat noodles and noodle skins that can be seen everywhere on the street, as well as large pieces of cold meat and pig head meat, which are packed in jars and simmered over a low fire to be sold together with pot helmet cakes.

The diced meat noodles are very particular, with yellow, black, red, green, and white colors. The yellow ones are eggs, the black ones are diced fungus, the red ones are carrots from the Western Regions, the green ones are chopped garlic sprouts, and the white ones are tofu. The fresh and tender diced meat topping made from small minced meat will be served quickly.

  Because the more troublesome steps of making can be completed in advance, it can be sold on the street. You only need to cook the noodles and put the toppings and side dishes on it. It is very popular especially in this hot day.

  The method of cold meat is not different from that at Sanchakou, but the pot helmet is very distinctive.

   This is a kind of big cake, the diameter of the cake is about three feet, round and thick, it can be used as a pot cover. It is said that this kind of food is the main force of food supply, whether it is soldiers marching and fighting, or peasants going to work to build water conservancy.

  Sellers often cut it into corners and sell it with meat.

   Diners put large pieces of cold meat or sliced ​​pork head meat on top, or tear them open and sandwich them, and enjoy them together, especially the big pot helmet just out of the pan, which is a must. The hot noodles enhance the aroma of the meat to the extreme, and the fatness of the meat is absorbed and dissolved by the pot helmet, turning it mellow and soft, which is very enjoyable to eat.

  Fang Chang and Sang Ziping changed a few stalls and tried one by one, but the legends told by the stall owners have changed several versions and are different from each other.

  Although Sang Ziping's food intake far exceeds that of ordinary people, it is far inferior to Fang Chang's.

During the previous trip to Ant Mountain, Sang Ziping seized a lot of property, so he was very rich. He and Fang Chang walked through the streets and alleys, and when they saw interesting food, they went up to buy and taste it, and did not ask Fang Chang to pay the bill. . It was the first time he tried this method of sightseeing, which made him quite novel.

  While walking, suddenly there was a scent, the two looked up and looked. The aroma came from a shop called "Yusong Yokan".

   This store looks very old. Although the signboard has been wiped from time to time, it has been immersed in deep marks that cannot be changed by the years. The texture of the wood is completely invisible, and it looks plain and simple. As for the lacquer on the plaque, it has peeled off at no time, leaving only the slightly raised characters.

  Many people were leaving at the door, and many of them were wiping their mouths with handkerchiefs, proving that they had just enjoyed the food inside.

   "This one looks good, let's go in and have a look." Fang Chang said.

   "Okay." Sang Ziping nodded and followed.

  The ground inside is potholed, obviously paved with blue bricks, and has been worn out and worn out. The tables and chairs are new and old, in different shapes.

  Seeing Fang Chang and Sang Ziping coming in together, there was a boy who was still a half-grown child, running over and saying hello: "Guest officers, what do you want?"

   "What's in here?"

  Fang Chang often went to restaurants and asked skillfully.

  Sang Ziping next to him has been to this city before, but last time he was short of money and didn't have the opportunity to try it everywhere. Therefore, Sang Ziping only had a general idea of ​​the diet in Guanzhong, and could not give too many good suggestions.

  The man smiled and replied in a clear voice:

"Is this the first time for you two to come to this small shop? The shop is too small, and the main sellers are only yokan at different prices, and the rest are all kinds of freshly cut cold dishes, which are braised pork heads, liver, lungs, hearts, etc. There are also cheap yokans. Refreshing pickled cucumbers are rare in the Central Plains, and the taste is the most crisp."

  Fang Chang nodded and said:

   "Then let's serve a plate of courgettes with cold salad, and then serve some plates of meat - tell me, what is the yokan here, and what kinds are there for sale? From this, we know that we don't know the situation here."

  The little guy looked around and saw that the number of customers was gradually decreasing, and his companion was taking care of him. He was fine for the time being, and he was very happy to meet a customer who was willing to chat. He said cheerfully:

   "It's a long story. If you want to talk about this yokan, it is a must in our Guanzhong."

"Guanzhong has always produced good mutton, but it is in the northwest. There are sheep raised on saline-alkaline land. The taste is tender and soft, without any fishy smell. Therefore, I don't know how long ago, there was a stewed mutton that became soft and rotten. Soup method."

   "About a hundred years ago, some predecessors made a lot of improvements to the yokan method."

"Mutton is expensive after all, and ordinary people can't afford pure mutton soup, so the chef smashed the pot helmet, poured mutton and soup on it, and it was still called mutton soup, and it became very popular. But there are also rumors that that The chef who improved the yokan said that he came up with it when he saw a few quacks soaking pot kuih in broth."

"Anyway, this method has been carried forward, and now even the pot helmet is no longer used. Instead, special small cakes are baked, also called small buns. Two or three pieces are broken into a bowl, and they have to be boiled in broth. , more tasty."

  Fang Chang nodded with satisfaction, and said:

   "It sounds very good. Give us two copies. Just now, the little brother said that there are different prices, so let's get the two most expensive ones."

   "Okay~! How many buns do you two want?" asked the boy.

"Look at the two of us who are of this size, we can eat as much as we want." Fang Chang said, and then the boy brought two large thick porcelain bowls, and gave each of them two small half-baked dough **** cakes, and let them break them into pieces as they like.

  Then, the little boy ran to the side, cleaned his hands and started to make cold dishes for them.

"It's kind of interesting." Sang Ziping has a body of practice, and his movements are fast and accurate. The size of the broken buns is very consistent, and the speed is far faster than other diners, but he still smiled and said to the other party, this is the first time to see it. To the way of eating that still needs the help of customers to process.

   But Fang Chang did not reply, but opened the naan bread in his hand while looking at a table next to him.

  Sang Ziping noticed something strange, followed his gaze, and saw two dusty people sitting opposite each other for dinner. Listening to the chat, it was a friend who hadn't seen for a long time, Sang Ziping looked at it secretly for a long time, only to find something strange.

   Among them, the young man in a brown coarse cloth, with a tall and long bun, and a thin face, revealed a trace of a monster. Although the evil spirit was very faint and subtle, it flowed continuously with the opponent's actions, which made Sang Ziping very vigilant in his heart.

  Because of all the experiences around Ant Hill, Sang Ziping is very vigilant about this situation

  But just as he was about to get up and open his mouth, Mr. Fang waved him to stop him.

  Sang Ziping followed Fang Chang's instructions, raised his body half an inch again, and sat back on the stool. I saw Fang Chang on the other side converging into a line, and said to himself: "Mr. Sang, you are not mistaken, it is indeed a monster, and it is a rare plant monster, and it is also an extremely rare wheat spirit."
