There are nine states in the world, and Huangzhou is located in the southwest. There are many famous mountains, rivers, and canyons in the area. In ancient times, Huangzhou was the seat of the Ba Kingdom. Due to the steep terrain, it rarely fought with other countries. The people lived a comfortable and prosperous life until the Great New Dynasty unified the world and spent countless years on it.
In the past ten years, various horse roads were opened in the mountains to facilitate travel by horses and horses, and Huangzhou had closer exchanges with other places in Kyushu.
Huangrong City is located in the northern part of Huangzhou. It was once the capital of the Ba Kingdom and is surrounded by mountains. Because a river named "Jinjiang" flows here, it is also called "Jincheng". Due to the limitations of the terrain, Huangrong City rarely sees the light of day all year round.
, mostly accumulates Yin and dampness, local people like hemp and spicy food in order to dispel cold, dehumidify, warm the stomach and maintain health.
Merchants in Huangrong City often skewer various ingredients such as beef and bamboo shoots on bamboo skewers and cook them in a red oil pan, called chuanchuan. They can also steam them in advance and let them cool before brushing them with spicy oil and sesame sauce and eating them cold.
It is popular to mix vegetables, duck intestines, pig blood and other ingredients into
After taking it out of the pot, add various seasonings such as spicy oil and sesame oil, which is called maocai. There are also spicy rabbit heads, kung pao chicken, fish-flavored shredded pork, spicy chicken, mapo tofu, stir-fried beans, and dragon's hand
There are many snacks, which can be called the best delicacies in Kyushu.
However, the most famous delicacy in Huangrong City is undoubtedly "hot pot". Different from the popular bronze drum-shabu-shabu pork in Tianjing, Huangzhou hot pot uses a separate stove fire. There are separate compartments in a large pot, and each person uses long chopsticks to pick up the ingredients.
It is hot and eaten immediately in the small compartment. Tianjing hot-pot meat is usually made of clear soup as the base, with fresh beef and mutton and
Silk tripe is used as the material, while Huangzhou hot pot uses butter and chili pepper as the base. There are a variety of ingredients, including some heavy-tasting dishes such as brains and kidneys, so diners of all kinds can enjoy their meal happily. Therefore, no matter the scorching summer weather,
No matter how cold the winter is, the most popular restaurant in Huangrong City is always the hotpot restaurant.
"Hero Club" is one of the most famous old hot pot restaurants in Huangrong City. It is run by Jiang He Gang. Although the price of the dishes is much more expensive than other hot pot restaurants, the ingredients are fresh and the pot base is delicious. Among the diners, not only some have a lot of money
There are local people, wealthy and wealthy people who spend a lot of money, and there are also many passers-by and wealthy people who come here because of its reputation. Therefore, even though the Heroes Club store is very large, with three floors, it is still full every day, making it difficult to find a store.
In the southeast corner of the first floor of the Heroes Association, several long tables were put together to form a large table, with four hot pots on it. There were about twenty people sitting around it, all wearing short blue shirts and carrying bamboo hats on their backs.
Sheathed
Unlike the diners at other tables who chatted away while feasting, the people at this large table only picked up vegetables to rinse them one by one, rinsed them and then ate them. No one said a word, and the silence was scary.
.
Next to this big table, there is a small black lacquered wooden square table, which was originally just used for the shop assistants to place plates. At this moment, a bubbling hot pot was also set up, and several plates of beef were placed next to it.
Mutton, duck intestines, green leafy vegetables and hand-made noodles. There was only one person sitting at the table carrying a
A young man with a cowhide bag, a velvet sweater and trousers, and hard leather boots. The young man was sweating from eating hot pot, and was numb and spicy from time to time. He opened his mouth, stretched out his tongue, and raised his hand to fan it.
He screamed "ah, ah", it was so spicy that it was unbearable, but it was also so spicy that it was extremely pleasant.
The big table was deserted and the small table was lively. The contrast was sharp. Not only did the surrounding diners cast strange glances, but even the twenty or so people on the big table frowned and stared at the young man on the small table. One of them looked fierce.
The man in blue shirt couldn't help but said: "Little kid on the table, can't you be quieter while eating? Don't you have an adult to teach you?"
The young man put down his chopsticks, cupped his hands towards the big table, and said while taking a breath: "Ah, I have never eaten anything so spicy... It's too spicy... I'm sorry for disturbing everyone. I hope Haihan."
Others at the big table also tried to persuade the man in blue shirt: "Senior brother Ding, please calm down, there is no need for us to argue with such a little kid." "Haha, people who have never eaten spicy food are so virtuous." "Senior brother Ding, please stop being angry.
, let’s eat quickly
.After breakfast, go on the road and go to Hanjuan Valley to investigate and ask for our sword back." The man who was called "Senior Brother Ding" by everyone just snorted and continued to eat hot pot. Others stopped talking and returned immediately.
The silence before.
The young man at the small table heard the words of those people, but he was hesitant: "Han Juan Valley? Isn't this the sect located in Huangzhou among the ten major sects in Kyushu? Listening to the words of these people, they actually wanted to find the cold cuckoo valley.
What happened in Cuckoo Valley, and also about a precious sword. I wonder what kind of sword it is?"
The boy was naturally Hong Chen. After entering the "Heroes Club" hot pot restaurant, he waited for a long time before finding a table like this. Originally he just wanted to taste the hot pot that Huangrong City is famous for, but he didn't expect this.
The spiciness was so intense that I obviously wanted the slightly spicy pot base from this restaurant, but it was spicier than any dish I had ever eaten before.
Hong Chen took out a handkerchief and blew his spicy nose. From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the group of "Senior Brother Ding" on the big table. Although there were many people in this group, few of them had the aura of masters.
, even if Senior Brother Ding, who is vaguely leader among them, is at best a second-rate master of the fourth level of internal strength, how can he find the right tone to cause trouble in Hanjuan Valley?
When the group of people finished eating and paid, Hong Chen quickly asked the waiter to pay the bill. The group of people left the store to fetch the horses, and Hong Chen followed him outside to fetch Ta Xue. Not far away, Na Ding
The senior brother suddenly turned around, saw Hong Chen at a glance, and shouted: "You are following us sneakily, what do you want to do? If you want to know people, get away from me!"
Hong Chen bowed his hands again and saluted, and said: "I'll give you some black tea. People from Qiangzhou are coming to Huangzhou this time. I wanted to visit Hanjuan Valley, but I just heard that you are going to Hanjuan Valley to ask for help.
A precious sword, I don’t know what happened..."
Before he finished speaking, Senior Brother Ding roared angrily: "You little thief, shut up." The eyes of the others suddenly became extremely unfriendly. Senior Brother Ding did not continue after that sentence.
After speaking, he turned around and continued walking to the west with the others.
Hong Chen couldn't help being startled. He didn't know why this group of people didn't even want to explain. Could it be that the sword was robbed by the people from Hanjuan Valley? But Hanjuan Valley is one of the top ten sects in the world, so how could it happen?
Steal these people's knives?
Hong Chen didn't know why, but seeing that this group of people were extremely unfriendly to him, he had no intention of having more contact with them, so he led Ta Xue and walked quickly south. After walking for a while, Hong Chen asked passers-by and found out where Hanjuan Valley was.
The "Wangdi Mountain" is located in the southwest of Huangrong City, which is not too far away. If we ride towards it now, including the time to stay at the inn at night, we can get there in less than a day.
