Chapter 179 Kidnapping

Liu Rusi was not the kind of person who was easily fooled, but she still gave him a little sweetener, deliberately lying down very close to Gao Bin, so close that Gao Bin could kiss him on the lips just by raising his head.

The two of them looked at each other, and their gazes collided, causing sparks. This lasted for less than a few seconds. Liu Rusi was the first to be defeated, feeling her face getting hot.

"When you get the answer I want, I will satisfy you."

"Tsk, not sincere."

If Gao Bin wouldn't try to trick Tian Dan for Liu Rusi, he wouldn't know which one is lighter and which one is heavier.

Liu Rusi fled, leaving Gao Bin with no interest in life.

With nothing to do, he went to Pingyuan Alley to chat with Xu Yunnuo, and then spent a long time teasing with the half-awake and half-confused Mr. Guan, and finally found something interesting.

Coming out of the backyard, Xu Yunuo was stuck here and asked embarrassedly:

"Master Gao, Xu Tian and Jin Hai..."

"Let Xu Tian apologize to Brother Hai later, and let this matter be over."

"Okay, okay! I'll just say they're fine." Xu Yunuo was happy.

But it soon became awkward again:

"Then you and Xu Tian..."

"The fate between us has ended. Without this master-disciple fate, we can't be brothers. We can just be acquaintances."

"Alas... Xu Tian is not so lucky."

"Don't say that, everyone has their own destiny."

Gao Bin didn't like to talk about this. He looked at the darkening sky and couldn't help but said:

"How about I have a meal at your place tonight?"

"That's good, I'll send someone out to buy some cooked food, and we can have a drink together."

Xu Yunnuo still values ​​Gao Bin very much. In his heart, to a certain extent, Gao Bin has the same status as Jin Hai.

"Okay, let's drink some."

Gao Bin is actually not a drinker, but living in the world, it is inevitable that he will get a little bit of the atmosphere of the world. How can the world be without alcohol?

Xu Yunnuo sent the coachman who chartered the carriage out to buy groceries, and went to the kitchen to bring some snacks:

"First take a sip and drink some tea."

"Thank you, Uncle Xu."

It was a coincidence that Tielin and Guan Baohui came back to see Mr. Guan and learned that Gao Bin was also there, so Tielin went into the house to say hello.

"Binzi."

"Let's have a drink tonight?" Gao Bin invited.

"Okay, I'm worried about what to eat tonight."

"Okay, Uncle Xu, it looks like we need to add more food."

"I'm so happy that you want to stay for dinner. How about adding some meatballs?"

"Why don't you just eat boiled mutton? It's such a cold weather." Tielin suggested.

"That's a good idea, Uncle Xu. Let's buy 10 pounds of mutton, and some frozen tofu. Are there any sesame cakes?"

Gao Bin took out a wad of money, meaning that the meal was his.

"Can I take the money? Take it back quickly. Don't worry, I can still afford a meal of meat. Don't worry about it. I'll let someone arrange it."

Xu Yunnuo went out to do some work, and Tielin sat opposite Gao Bin:

"I just have something to ask you, Binzi, what are you and your eldest brother busy with recently? Why are you still dealing with Tian Dan?"

"We have our own arrangements, don't worry about this." Gao Bin blocked his head.

"That's not possible, Tian Dan is still hanging in our secrecy bureau."

Gao Bin took a piece of mung bean cake, ate it with scented tea, and said vaguely:

"That's your business, we won't interfere with each other."

Tielin had nothing to do with Gao Bin, so he lay there alone and sulked.

At this time, Guan Baohui came in, rolled up her sleeves, and became angry when she saw Tielin's appearance:

"What are you doing here?"

"I didn't do anything. I just ate here tonight, mutton-boiled."

"Shabu-boiled mutton, I'm really hungry."

Gao Bin raised his eyes and looked at Guan Baohui, thinking: You are half responsible for Tielin's tragedy.

If it weren't for this woman behind his back, or if he had a more virtuous wife, Tielin wouldn't have gone astray.

Of course, these two people are also a perfect match. They are both complete egoists, so they can coexist in front of incompatible moral principles and rules.

The only better thing is that Baohui still has a few more bones, but that's all.

People in Sijiu City pay attention to being polite, not only in their speech and behavior, but also in eating in a reasonable manner. You should not mess around with what you eat at any time and what you drink.

It’s the ninth cold winter, and according to the rules, it’s time to eat hotpot mutton.

The most common version of mutton-shabu-shabu is that one year, Kublai Khan led his troops to fight. During the war, Kublai Khan was a little hungry, so he remembered the delicious mutton stew in his hometown, and he immediately ordered the chef to make it.

Lamb stew.

But if it takes time to stew the mutton thoroughly, who knows that the enemy's counterattack will come quickly. Before the mutton is stewed, the battle report will come from the front.

Kublai Khan was in a hurry and ordered people to cut the mutton into thin slices. The mutton slices cooked quickly, rinsed them in boiling water, took them out, sprinkled them with seasonings and ate them. This was the prototype of the mutton-boiled dish.

After the Yuan Dynasty established by Kublai Khan established its capital in Sijiucheng, hotpot mutton became a long-lasting delicacy on the local people's tables.

In the history of the Qing Dynasty, two emperors, Kangxi and Qianlong, once held the grand "Thousands of Old Banquets". It is said that the Thousands of Olds Banquet included hotpot mutton.

At this time, hotpot mutton was still a palace dish!

It was not until the late Qing Dynasty that it became popular among the people.

In the evening, Xu Yunuo's room was very hot, and a square table was placed in the middle. Gao Bin, Xu Yunuo, and Tie Lin each occupied one side.

Set up a copper pot on the table, put the charcoal in it, and wait for the water to boil.

At this stage, it is time for everyone to chat, Xu Yunuo said:

"If you want to talk about the hotpot mutton, it has to be Donglaishun. Their founder, Ding Deshan, even chartered a car with us."

When Gao Bin heard this, he thought there was such a story?

"Uncle Xu, can you tell me?"

"Okay, let's talk about it. Ding Deshan lives over at Dongzhimen. At first, he was not a Qinxing business, but a loess seller."

People in Siqiu City burn briquettes in stoves, and the briquettes cannot be easily molded unless mixed with loess, which acts as an adhesive.

There is basically no cost to this kind of business, it just depends on your strength.

"Because Ding Deshan was selling loess, he often went to the Dong'an Market in Wangfujing. When he saw that business was booming here, he started thinking about opening a small restaurant.

Relying on the little capital he saved and patchwork, Ding Deshan's restaurant was opened.

At first, he only did the bean juice business, but later he gradually added stuffed pancakes, millet porridge, and home-cooked side dishes.

Because Ding Deshan's family lives outside Dongzhimen and comes to Sijiu City to do business, and hopes that everything will go well, it means "coming from Jingdong, everything goes well", so it is called "Dong Laishun".

But the good times didn't last long. In 12 years, Cao Kun launched a mutiny. The mutiny affected the Dong'an market at that time. Cao Kun's troops looted and burned, almost destroying the Dong'an market.

Ding Deshan came to Dong'an Market to set up a stall in 2003, and gradually became famous little by little. Later, he built a simple house. Until the Dong'an Market caught fire in 2012, he worked diligently here for nine years.

To say that such a change has happened, no one can bear it!

But Ding Deshan did not blame others. Instead, he decided to make his business bigger than before and converted the former bungalow shop into a building.

Around that time in 2014, the new Donglaishun store was completed and the name was changed to Donglaishun Mutton Restaurant.

The business has grown, and there are more waiters in the store than before. Halal stir-fry dishes have also been added to the business, and the hot-boiled mutton in Dong Laishun was only added this year.

I even went there to eat there, and I saved up money for several months with some brothers to have a meal, and I still can’t forget the taste.”

In fact, sometimes people think a certain kind of food is delicious not because of its taste, but because it contains a certain memory.

Xu Yunnuo continued:

"There are too many things to pay attention to when it comes to mutton-shabu-shabu. The top choice is Xikou sheep, followed by Beikou sheep."

The so-called Xikou sheep are produced in the Ganning area. Xikou sheep have small tails that are rolled inward, small bones and tender meat, and are not smelly. Because they grow on the Hetao shoals of the Yellow River, they are also called Tan sheep.

Beikou sheep are produced in the Zhangbei area, and are inferior to Xikou sheep.

On the contrary, local sheep cannot be used for mutton shabu-shabu because the meat is rough and has a strong smell.

In those days, Madian was a famous livestock market. Sheep dealers drove sheep from the west entrance and the north entrance to find buyers here.
