Although Mr. Qin was in poor health, he liked the snowy scenery of the mountains very much. Although his granddaughter repeatedly persuaded him, he was still willing to walk by himself, blowing the cold wind against the fine snow. When he walked to Jishang, he was sweating.
..
When passing by a beef soup restaurant, Mr. Qin's stomach growled. After Li Qingyun heard it, he remembered that he seemed to have forgotten whether these guests had eaten breakfast. After all, they came from the provincial capital and must have woken up very early.
morning.
"Mr. Qin, this Lao Cui's beef soup is one of the special snacks in our town. It has been around since my grandfather's generation. I heard from my grandfather that the big iron pot at the door has never been out of heat. The taste of his soup can be...
It’s a memory that will last a lifetime. Someone once said that he added tobacco husks to his soup. Later, people from the county came to check and did a lot of work, but nothing was found, and the matter was finally dropped.”
"Later, when grandpa and Lao Cui chatted, they found out that someone coveted his secret recipe for beef soup, so he deliberately asked someone to check it out. No trace of the recipe was found in the soup, so he gave up."
Mr. Qin was already hungry. When he heard what Li Qingyun said was interesting, he suggested: "Oh? Now that I have come to your Qinglong Town, I can't miss any delicious food. Come on, let's go in and have a taste. I happen to be a little hungry."
There is an earthen stove on one side of the entrance of Cui's Beef Soup Restaurant. It is still the original coal-burning type. You can also add firewood. When you get close, you will feel a steaming heat. The diameter of the mouth of the large iron pot is more than one meter wide.
, this is the largest iron pot in the countryside, very thick.
There is a layer of red pepper floating in the pot, the oil is clear, and you can smell a strong aroma of beef from a distance, the spicy mixture is the most appetizing.
There are several small clay pots beside the pot, filled with minced coriander, minced onion and garlic, which are very fresh. With the necessary shredded tofu, vermicelli or vermicelli, a bowl of fragrant beef soup can be served to the table.
The boss was in his fifties, with a strong build, a rosy face, and a very healthy mind. When he saw guests coming to the door, he immediately greeted everyone with a smile and invited them to a big table.
"The distinguished guests will sit down first. How many soups do you want? Do you want steamed buns? Do you want beef?" The boss guessed that the dress and temperament of these people were not ordinary country people. They also spoke politely and dealt with them very carefully.
, want to leave a good impression on the guests.
Everyone didn't know much about the situation here. Yang Yunu came here rarely. Unlike Li Qingyun, he often came here to eat and drink when he was a child. Maybe it was because he had grown up and his appearance had changed, so Boss Cui didn't recognize him.
"Boss Xiao Cui. According to the old rules, a bowl of soup comes with a steamed bun, and the beef offal costs another 100 yuan. Add more minced coriander and minced onions and garlic, and give us a small half bowl of chili oil. We can adjust it ourselves.
." Li Qingyun said.
The old man was stunned for a moment. Usually others call him Boss Cui, or Lao Cui, but this young man calling him "Xiao Cui" is a bit excessive. However, this title reveals a hint of familiarity and calmness, and it seems that he often calls him this way.
He stared at Li Qingyun's face carefully and then suddenly realized, he patted him on the shoulder a few times and said with a smile: "Haha, it turns out it's you, little devil? Your grandfather called me this before, you followed suit, learn from it.
You can't change it if you keep learning. I've long heard that you returned to the village and made a fortune, why don't you come and sit in our shop? How can I still need a bowl of beef soup from you?"
Li Qingyun's grandfather and his father were friends from the same generation. Although Li Chunqiu was only 18 or 19 years older than him, Boss Xiao Cui was very respectful. That was like an uncle, so the seniority was decided. Boss Xiao Cui was very respectful to Li Qingyun.
The reason why Li Chunqiu was so grateful was because when his mother gave birth to him, she almost died due to dystocia and severe bleeding. If Li Chunqiu hadn't taken action, one of the two would have died.
People of the older generation are deeply grateful for their life-saving grace and dare not forget it. Although the gratitude that Xiao Cui learned from his parents over the past many years is still strong.
All in all, at that time, Li Chunqiu had just begun to achieve some success in his medical skills, and it was the first time that he and his wife had become famous for saving their lives. Speaking of this proud event, Li Chunqiu would sometimes show off to his grandson.
"It's not that I'm afraid that I can't take care of it, but that I'm afraid that I won't accept the money. Today I'm inviting friends from the city. Don't be too polite and give me a discount at the cost of your own money. I don't dare to bring any more friends." Li Qingyun said with a smile.
.
"You, you are not as interesting as when you were a kid. At that time, you would come to eat and drink, and Xiao Cui would shout at each mouthful, which made the old man feel the happiest." Boss Xiao Cui sighed, but his men kept busy and quickly cooked the iron.
Soft vermicelli noodles and thousands of tofu skins are put in a soup pot and boiled like dragonflies with three o'clock of water. They are boiled in an instant. Add two spoons of beef soup with chili and sprinkle with a handful of minced coriander, green onion and garlic. The color, aroma and fragrance are all revealed immediately.
.
At this time, customers need to serve it themselves. Only when they are free, the boss will serve it in person. Unlike in the city, someone will serve it in front of the customer. Therefore, in this store, one person is enough, Xiao Cui’s wife and children
There is no need to help. When there is a need for rotation, Xiao Cui's wife will come to the store to work, but his children are heard to be doing business in the city and are rarely seen.
Several bowls of beef soup were served quickly. The 100-yuan beef offal was placed in a small coarse porcelain basin. You can use chopsticks to pick your own bowl. Ordinary beef soup only costs 5 yuan a bowl, which is very cheap.
, cut the beef thinly and put less. If the customer wants to eat more beef, just add more meat.
Li Qingyun remembers the beef soup restaurants in front of the university. The price increased to 12 yuan a bowl from the beginning of his freshman year. By the year of graduation, the price had already increased to 20 yuan a bowl. Moreover, the beef inside was as thin as paper and tasted terrible.
All I could do was pour chili oil and vinegar into the bowl.
As for the bowl of beef soup in front of me, I took a sip. It was pure, spicy and delicious. After a few sips, I felt that everything was hot from the inside to the outside. It was so spicy that the tip of my nose sweated lightly.
"It's really good. It's so spicy." Mr. Qin usually doesn't like spicy food, but when he started drinking beef soup, he couldn't stop. He almost finished the soup in the bowl in one go, then he took a breath and prepared to slow down.
Slowly eating the leftover vermicelli and thousands of tofu skins.
Seeing this, Li Qingyun smiled and said: "Old man, drink slowly. You can add soup after you drink it. If you eat steamed buns without soup, it will lose its proper taste."
Steamed buns are fermented noodles that are baked in a pan. The inside is soft and the skin is slightly oily and slightly salty. When you dip it in the soup and take a bite, you will be filled with the aroma of steamed buns and beef. Even if you eat it accidentally,
When it comes to chili peppers, steamed buns can also quickly relieve spicy food and cough.
A steamed bun is as big as a plate. Generally, it is enough for an adult to eat a steamed bun and drink a bowl of soup. Mr. Qin ate this for the first time and thought it was very fresh and delicious. When Boss Xiao Cui filled up the soup for him.
He had already eaten half of a steamed bun.
He saw Li Qingyun pouring some hot sauce and smearing it on the steamed buns. He followed suit and didn't find the brown hot sauce ugly at all. Qin Mingyue tried hard several times, but when her grandpa insisted, she had no choice but to let him go. But in her heart, she was angry that Li Qingyun had put her grandpa into it.
Bring this kind of unhygienic shop.
Although Wang Chao often travels around Sichuan and Sichuan, this is the first time he has eaten such authentic beef soup. He didn’t have time to talk at all. He didn’t have time to speak until he finished the food in the bowl, then he smiled and said: “I’m finally full. Fortunately, I didn’t eat in the morning.
The Xiao Long Bao shop on the roadside, otherwise I wouldn’t have the stomach for such a delicious beef soup.”
Yang Yunu looked at everyone with a smile, and from time to time helped Li Qingyun put a few pieces of beef into the bowl. She felt that these rich people in the city were easy to kill, and a bowl of beef soup made them happy.
Hu Dahai and Jiang Qinqin have been to this beef soup restaurant. Yang Yunu brought them here. Although they think it is delicious, they have passed the stage of being amazed at everything. Apart from saying a few words from time to time, they also slurp down the soup.
But I couldn't eat the steamed buns anymore, because the breakfast made by Li Qingyun was no worse than the beef soup here.
After eating and drinking, Li Qingyun paid the bill. Boss Xiao Cui gave in for a long time and originally refused to charge, but when Li Qingyun insisted and said that he would not come again if he did not charge, he reluctantly accepted it.
The cost of a hundred yuan, and the extra dozens of yuan, were not charged at all.
Although it was still snowing, there were still many people going to the market. After bypassing the lively market and walking forward for three or four miles, I saw hills of similar heights. There were two nearby villages on the left and right sides of the hillside group.
, although it is a bit remote, it is better than settling in the middle of the hillside here.
It is very dangerous to go up the mountain on a snowy day. Even people who are familiar with the road dare not walk randomly because if they are not careful, they will step on the air and fall into the cliff.
At the foot of the low mountain, there was a large piece of grassland with natural marks of ditches and depressions. Several people parked their cars, pointed to the place where the fluffy shrubs were covered with snow, and took some photos.
Hu Dahai went crazy. He ran forward a few steps, rolled on the thick snow, and cheered loudly. However, before the end of his voice faded, he fell into a small snow-covered ditch with a plop, although there was no water.
, only about one meter deep, but it frightened Hu Dahai so much that he screamed and flew away a pheasant that was looking for food in the grass.
"Wow, there is a big and fat bird. Chao Zai, let Hai Dongqing catch it quickly." Qin Mingyue did not recognize the pheasant, but it did not prevent her from seeing how fat this "big bird" was.
Wang Chao whistled and let go of the little sea turtle on his shoulder. The sea turtle he had trained flew out like a ray of white light and caught up with the pheasant in the blink of an eye.
The pheasant screamed in fear, flapped its wings, and struggled in mid-air. But Xiaohai Dongqing grabbed its neck and continued its struggle. Finally, it lost its balance and fell from the air to the snow.
The wings of the two birds fanned the snow everywhere, and they entered into a fierce fight on the ground. The pheasant only lasted for tens of seconds, and it seemed that it ran out of strength. Hai Dongqing pinned it to the ground and waited.
The master comes to pick it up.
Wang Chao laughed proudly and showed off in front of Li Qingyun: "How about it, is the Haidongqing I trained okay?"
Li Qingyun curled his lips and said with a smile: "That's because I didn't release the one in my hand. Once it does, it won't have anything to do with your little Haidongqing. Do you want to pick it up? If not, let my hound pick it up.
Bring back a pheasant."
Wang Chao showed off Haidongqing's hunting skills for the first time in front of others. How could anyone else interfere? He immediately said, "I can go by myself. Cousin, remember to take photos or video of me."
As soon as Jiang Qinqin pulled Hu Dahai out of the snow nest, he heard Yang Yunu point to a small black dot in the distance and say: "Cousin, let Er Baldy go quickly. At that time, a hare just crawled out from behind the bush."
It turned out that she felt uncomfortable when she saw Wang Chao showing off, and wanted her boyfriend to win the game. She didn't care about winning or losing, but she cared about winning or losing among men. (To be continued...)
ps: I came back from working overtime yesterday with a severe cold and low fever. I ate a white and black tablet. I thought I would not feel sleepy, but I sat down in front of the computer and typed a few words before falling asleep on the bed. I was typing after get off work. I didn’t feel tired before, but now that I’m sick, I feel a little unable to hold on. I typed this chapter for more than three hours, and my head was confused and I couldn’t connect the plot. I was in a very bad state.
