Inviting guests to dinner

Hotpot food culture has a history of more than a thousand years in our country and is deeply loved by people from the north and south.

Think about it, in the cold winter, three or five friends gathered together, eating hot pot and chatting in the house, and the snow outside the window, it was a beautiful thing no matter how you look at it.

In addition to this wider name, hot pot has other names all over the country, such as "beating the side stove", "pot", "warm pot", etc. However, the ones called "shabu shabu", seem to have few of them left Peking City.

According to the practice of Old Peking, the sheep in the shabu pot must have no mutton smell at all. The first choice is the jealous sheep produced in Jining, the castrated ram.

There are only a few things that can be used to rinse a sheep, and only five parts: small three-cha, big three-cha, grinding the crotch, and cucumber strips. There are less than fifteen kilograms of meat in total. The meat is tender and thin and fat. This mouth is so clever.

Just a little meat, you can't sell it casually, otherwise the store will have to pay it to death.

Often, I freeze the mutton and then get the blade. The size is evenly sized according to the size of 20 cm long and 5 cm wide. Half a pound of meat will give you forty or fifty pieces.

As for the thickness, compared with the knife skills of Lanzhou ramen chefs on the street, it can only be said to be even better than that.

Cheng Nuo's mouth is not so sharp, and at most he can eat it, whether it is stinky or not, or whether it is fresh or not. For him, the parts he eats are very different.

If you eat meat, it is best to eat a lot of meat.

I directly called the inn and asked for two kilograms of mutton, lamb brain, lamb waist, and sheep treasure.

I asked if I could get some fat cows, but the guy looked confused.

As a last resort, Cheng Nuo continued to explain and gestured in his hand.

"Fatty beef, it's just a slice of beef that is fat and thin."

He picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks and then said, "The size and thickness are similar to yours."

The guy suddenly realized and bowed his hand to apologize: "Sir, I understand what you said, but I'm sorry. This is the first time we have heard of the word "Fatty Bull". There is really nothing in the store. Why don't I invite the shopkeeper and let the kitchen make a copy for you?"

Yes, I forgot the origin of the fat cow. At this time, let alone our country, even the United States of America, its origin has not yet created it, so where can I eat it at this time?

In the past life, to the 1990s, the fat cow was spread to the United States, Japan, and finally from Hong Kong to the mainland, and later bloomed all over the country.

Thinking of this, Cheng Nuo waved his hands repeatedly: "Master, don't bother the shopkeeper, just bring up what I just reported."

"Okay." The guy agreed, threw the towel on his shoulder and trotted away.

Cheng Nuo smiled and saw that Li Laosan opposite him was a little embarrassed, and joked: "Old Li, I'll give you another chance, why don't you see what you want to eat."

Li Laosan was not at ease when he sat down, but immediately stood up again when he heard this: "Sir, you really don't need to do this. I've really eaten it at home."

Cheng Nuo pretended to be angry: "I really don't order anything, so I won't take your car tomorrow."

"Hey." Li Laosan sat back and saw that he couldn't resist, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "Or, sir, please give me a bowl of 'smooth fish'. I like this. I haven't eaten the ones you ordered just now. If you can't get used to it, don't waste it."

Although "涓" has the word "涓", it actually has nothing to do with fish. It is a pasta that looks like a small fish, and is also called "涓" or "涓".

The method is also very simple. Add mung bean noodles with white noodles. Add egg whites, edible salt and appropriate amount of water to form a soft noodles.

The special shovel or drill for fish is used to pluck it into small strips when the water is boiling into the pot, like a fish leaping.

Unlike the Jin Province method, the fish in old Peking are thinner, and at the same time they will bring a small iron ring behind the shovel and drill. With the rhythmic plucking of the fish, they can make a crisp sound, which sounds like a pleasure for diners.

After the fish are cooked, remove the cold water and you can eat it.

According to personal preference, you can fry sauce or add braised rice, which is definitely considered a delicacy for ordinary people.

Cheng Nuo had a general understanding of this pasta. He knew it would be better to force it on, so he nodded, called the guy again, and added a big bowl of "Shuoyuer".

Chinese people have always like to socialize at the dinner table, and it is also applicable to Cheng Nuo and the other two.

With Cheng Nuo's greetings, Li Laosan gradually let go. In addition to the bowl of fish, he took the initiative to put a few slices of mutton and started to eat.

"Old Li, does it taste good?"

"With the mouth, it's okay to eat it." Seeing Cheng Nuo stopping the chopsticks, Li Laosan quickly put it down: "Sir, don't just look at me, you have to eat it at such a big table."

Holding chopsticks and pointing at the dishes on the table, Cheng Nuo smiled and said, "Haha, this is for us, Isn't you still there?"

Li Laosan refused to respond and then joked after letting go: "That's not the case. Just try the taste. If you like it too much, what will you do in the future?"

"Okay, I'll invite you if I want to eat." Cheng Nuo spread his hands and explained jokingly: "I'll take you to take a car in the future, and I'll just treat you without paying. What do you think."

Li Laosan's head was twisted like a rattle and hurriedly refused: "It's not possible. I've opened my mouth several times at home for me to raise it. If I don't have to take it a day, I'll have to be hungry for a few more days. If I say it, my waist will be poked off."

The two of them were just chatting with each other. In most cases, Cheng Nuo was asking questions and Li Laosan was answering.

Through inquiry, Cheng Nuo also had a preliminary understanding of the old Peking City. If he really went out alone in the future, he would not be blinded by the road.

In addition to these, Cheng Nuo also cared about Li Laosan's family and knew that in addition to him and his sister-in-law, there was also a boy and a girl, who looked about seven or eight years old.

Moreover, there is an old lady in the countryside to serve her, but the house they lived in Peking City was also rented, so I really couldn't have another bed for her.

After all, from folk customs to food and daily life, Cheng Nuo finally sighed sincerely in his heart:

"What kind of life do these ordinary people live?"

After drinking and eating, Cheng Nuo observed that Li Laosan wanted to take things from his sleeve several times, and he swallowed and stopped.

Cheng Nuo knows this action very well.

There is no saying: A cigarette after a meal will be better than a living god.

Seeing that there were not many diners in the past, and that the smoking ban was not as strict as in the previous life, he smiled and said, "I don't mind, just smoke if you want."

Li Laosan smiled honestly, took out the cigarette gun and lit it, took a few breaths, then quickly put it down and put it away: "Hehe, sir, you are laughing at me."

After the two chatted for a few more simple words, Cheng Nuo asked the guy to pack the food and added a few more dishes for Li Laosan to take it back.

Before leaving, they saw that there were still a few vendors selling candied haws at the door that had not been sold out, so they asked him to buy two for Li Laosan.

"I bought it for the children, not for you Lao Li. It's useless to refuse. It's so dark. Go back quickly. I guess my sister-in-law is waiting in a hurry."

After coaxing and persuading him, Li Laosan finally sent him away.

Bucheng Nuo did not rush into the house, but walked on the street and wandered aimlessly.

It was almost New Year's Eve in a flash. Although the people didn't have much money, the New Year atmosphere could not be hidden, and the sound of firecrackers from time to time made him feel even more stunned.

How many years have I felt in my previous life?

At this time, a child ran over and handed him a burning flower.

"Sir, this is what my father asked me to give you. I wish you a happy New Year!"

As he said that, he giggled and left with a jumping and jumping away.

When the singing came to his senses, he saw only a man holding the child's back, and soon he disappeared into the crowd.

"Children, I wish you a happy New Year!"

After saying that, he also swayed the flowers and jumped forward with the unique clatter of a young child, and the smile on his face was sincerely exuding.

Just this month, "A Proposal on Literary Reform" has been published. Peking University welcomed her most important president, "Jiayin" will be founded, and Peking Jiangang Hutong No. 6 Courtyard will also welcome "New Youth".
