Chapter 39: Inside and Outside the Customs

"Mr. Liu, what do you want to eat at noon?" After Li Li finished making arrangements, she came to Liu Mo'ang's side. The tour guide and the driver would not live in the same room as Liu Mo'ang and others.

Just kidding, they can't afford to live.

The single villa where Liu Mo'ang and his friends live is located next to Peacock Lake in the center of the hotel. The normal price for a day is 15,000! Even if Li Li and his friends have a big discount, the price of a day's accommodation is close to 8,000 yuan.

"It's better to be the same. You are more familiar with Master Wen here than us, so we will follow you." Liu Mo'ang said with a smile while wiping Da Zhuangzhuang's face.

The little guy who just woke up was full of energy. When he heard that he was going out to eat something delicious, his saliva was almost leaking out.

Master Wen smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll take you to eat the special food here. Mr. Liu, I don't know what your afternoon plan is? Should I go directly to the jade trading market, or should I take a look at the style of the border around me?"

After a pause, Master Wen continued to explain: "The hotel is still three or four kilometers away from the city center. If you plan to go directly to the jade market in the afternoon, we will drive over. If you just want to see the scenery, I suggest it is best to walk. Well, the hotel can arrange a car to pull us to the city center and then walk to appreciate the border style of my sister."

Mo Xiaoyun held Da Zhuangzhuang's little hand and said, "Xiao Ang, let's take a look at the scenery in the afternoon. The scenery here is so good, it would be a pity if you don't take a walk."

"Okay, then let's have a meal first, and let's see the scenery after having a full meal."

Li Li nodded, turned around and walked out, she wanted to order a car with the hotel front desk.

About ten minutes later, the group got on the hotel at the entrance of the hotel and arranged a Toyota Coaster specially picked up and dropped off, and pulled everyone to the city center.

If you want to eat local specialties, you naturally have to come to the city center.

Here, Master Wen Xinggangwen is much more familiar than Li Li. Under his leadership, the group found a small restaurant with not a big door, but after entering, everyone found that the business inside was extremely popular.

The hotel owner seemed to be very familiar with Wen Xinggang, and Wen Xinggang should have been in contact, so Liu Mo'ang and the others were immediately led into a clean single room.

"This restaurant is not very touched, but it is very famous in the local area. The owner here is my comrade-in-arms back then, but his family is not local, and his family is from Longchuan in the north. After he transferred to the business, he and his wife opened such a specialty restaurant here, and the business is quite good. I told him that he will cook for us later." After sitting down, Wen Xinggang introduced it.

It was basically the same as in the previous few days. Every time Liu Mo'ang and his friends arrived at a place, except for staying in the local five-star hotel, they basically didn't eat in the hotel. They all led Li Li to find the most famous restaurants in the local specialty food to eat special dishes.

Because Wen Xinggang has been a soldier here for six years and is very familiar with Ruili, this time he led everyone.

Not long after, a waiter brought a dish that looked a bit like a cold tray. There was a bowl of green soup in the middle of a large tray, and there were other ingredients in a circle of small grids outside.

"This is one of the three most famous specialty delicacies in our local area." Wen Xinggang took on the responsibility of a tour guide this time and pointed to the dish and said, "There are two flavors of Dai flavored pot. One is the authentic bitter sprout, which means putting beef lettuce in the secret bitter water made by the Dai family and mixing them evenly, dipping them with rice noodles and liver slices. However, the bitter flavor is just like the name of this dish, very bitter. I am afraid that you can't enjoy it, so I want another heavy flavor of potout."

"This kind of sprinkle was also improved by the Dai people, and is called lemon sprinkle. As the name suggests, the dipping water of lemon sprinkles is not bitter water, but is made of locally produced lemon juice. It is sour and particularly appetizing. I believe you will definitely like it."

Wen Xinggang's words made several ladies' index fingers tremble. For them, sour things must be their favorite.

A few people tried it out, let alone, it felt really good to dip it in this sour and sour water.

After just taking two bites, the waiter brought another dish, which should be fried, golden and beautiful, and looked very good.

Mo Xiaoyun asked curiously: "Master Wen, what dish is this? It looks delicious."

Wen Xinggang said with a smile: "I originally didn't want to tell you what dish this is, but I'm afraid that after you eat it, I will tell you the name of this dish, and you will beat me..."

Several people laughed. Liu Mo'ang looked at the dish that was quite "cooked" and asked, "Master Wen, this dish is not a bee-fried pupa, right?"

Wen Xing was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile, "Boss Liu, after you say this, I'm worried that the ladies may not be able to eat it."

Sure enough, whether it was Zhang Jie, Mo Xiaoyun, or Chu Qian, his face changed immediately after hearing the word "bee pupae". But Mo Xiaolu said excitedly: "Brother? This is really a bee pupae? That's great!"

Her aunt Zhang, her elder sister, and her elder sister-in-law looked at the little girl with disgust. The little girl raised her face, "Hmph, what's wrong? Bee pupa is a good thing. Just like crawling, it's very delicious to fry it with oil!"

What Mo Xiaolu said about crawling is a cicada, a cicada larvae. When it comes out of the soil and climbs up the tree, it will be caught. Then soak it in salt water, drain it and fry it. It is absolutely delicious.

Wen Xinggang smiled and nodded, "Xiaolu is right. The name of this dish is Dai-style bee pupa, which is a famous dish in our Nanyun insect mat. It is to fry the carefully selected fresh bee pupa in oil, then add the seasonings such as ginger, tomato paste, chili, lemonade, tea and other seasonings, and then mix it cold. The taste is quite authentic. However, we generally don't tell tourists the name of this dish, because many tourists may not be too cold to insects..."

Mo Xiaoyun and the other three ladies nodded immediately. Women are born to be disgusted with insects and other things.

Liu Mo'ang smiled and said, "You guys are really not good things to hold good things. Let me tell you that this bee pupa is a serious good thing, especially this fresh bee pupa, which is not comparable to the dried bee pupa that we make at the snack stalls there. This thing is absolutely high in protein and rich in vitamins A, B, C, D, E, F, G..."

Mo Xiaolu immediately interrupted her elder brother: "Brother, you are too exaggerating, are you? Are there any amino acids H, I, J, K, L, M, N..."

The group of people suddenly burst into laughter.

"Xiaolu, you and your sister Xiaoli will try it first and make a demonstration. I will greed for you Aunt Zhang, my eldest sister and your sister-in-law."

Mo Xiaolu smiled and nodded and picked up the chopsticks, but then put them down and grabbed the spoon. "You have to use a spoon to eat this thing, and you can count on one bite!"

As he said that, the girl scooped a spoon of fried bee pupae and put it in her mouth to feast on it. Li Li also picked up a few with chopsticks, which made her taste very fragrant.

Driven by their demonstration and encouragement by Liu Mo'ang and Zhang Yucheng, Zhang Jie, Chu Qian and Mo Xiaoyun finally tried to pick up a bee pupa with chopsticks and put it in their mouths. As a result, it didn't matter if it was eaten, and they couldn't stop the car immediately.

A plate of Dai-flavored bee pupa was eaten clean after not holding on for a few minutes, which made Da Zhuangzhuang, who had not eaten enough, want to howl. So at Liu Mo'ang's instructions, Wen Xinggang asked for another portion...

Then there was a series of specialty delicacies, such as sour bamboo shoots, chicken mushrooms, hot-burned small suckling pigs, such as Poruda, and splashing water cakes...

Anyway, the local famous specialty food was almost eaten in this meal. The final staple food was naturally Daming's hand-pickled rice.

"I had too many special snacks at noon, so I wanted a small simple version of this hand-pig. In the evening, we can come here to eat the authentic Jingpo hand-pig. The real Jingpo hand-pig is an evolutionary form of the Green Leaf Banquet. The complete version of the hand-pig can completely fill the glass turntable of this table, and the dishes inside are extremely rich!"

"Okay! Let's continue to eat pilaf here that night! Well, Master Wen, today's hot-boiled little suckling pig tasted pretty good, and there was the chicken mushroom. Let's have another serving tonight. There's nothing to do tonight, so the three of us can drink some."

"Okay!" Wen Xinggang answered very simply.

They are all good wine lovers. The three big men will drink some of them these days. Today I came to Ruili, so naturally no exception.

After eating and drinking, the group walked onto the Jiejiao Bridge along Guomen Avenue. Li Li took over the tour guide in time and pointed to the towering place of the large building opposite Ruilijiang River and said: "Our Ruili city is north of Ruilijiang, but there is a border port south of Ruilijiang River. This is the famous Jiejiao Port. Jiejiao Port is the largest inland port in southwest China, and it is also the only border trade zone in China that implements special management according to the "internal and external customs" model. Moreover, this is the closest point to the Indian Ocean in our territory, and it is known as the "End of the World"!"

"Sister Xiaoli, what is inside and outside the territory?" Mo Xiaolu asked curiously.

Li Li smiled and said, "The total area of ​​the Jiejiao Port at the other end of the bridge is 1.92 square kilometers. As long as goods exported from China to Myanmar cross the Jiejiao Bridge but are still in this area, they will be regarded as leaving the country without leaving the country. The goods imported from Myanmar enter this area through the port passage. As long as they do not cross the Jiejiao Bridge, they will enter the country without entering the country. This is the so-called domestic and outside the customs."

This is the first time Liu Mo'ang heard of this customs port supervision model. He thought about it and asked, "Then isn't this port area equivalent to an enclave in our country?"
