Jiang Li had seen Fu Bao a long time ago. Seeing that she was lively and fine, he felt relieved.
And Yu Wenyan next to Fubao...
The uncles looked at him holding their daughter's hand and snorted.
Jiang Li walked forward quickly and picked up Fu Bao: "Good boy, are you okay?"
"No~ Yu Wenyan also said that we wanted to have a meal together. He said it was a local specialty delicacy in the southwest. Right, Yu Wenyan?"
Yu Wenyan nodded silently and twirled his fingers, as if he still had the warmth of Fu Bao.
He turned and told the maid standing guard outside the door, "Go and prepare for the banquet."
"yes."
Yu Wenyan said the sentence just now in Southwest dialect.
Different from the language of the capital, the language of Southwest is more mysterious and difficult to decipher. Fu Bao tilted his head, "What did you mean by that sentence just now? It sounded like a spell!"
Yu Wenyan smiled: "I asked them to prepare the banquet."
"Oh, that's how it is……"
The reason why the Southwest has always been independent from the Apocalypse Kingdom is also due to local characteristics, culture and language. Due to the barrier of high mountains and ridges, the ethnic and linguistic composition of the Southwest is quite complex. It is very likely that people from different places will be able to climb over a mountain.
They couldn't understand each other's words.
This is also an important reason why Apocalypse Kingdom has been unable to defeat the Southwest King. It is not an easy task to completely conquer the Southwest.
A few people sat down, and Yu Wenyan slowly and slowly explained some customs and customs of the Southwest to Jiang Li and the others - of course, mainly to the curious baby Fu Bao.
After a while, the maids also filed in, bringing a lot of southwestern delicacies.
It's just that these delicacies are different from those in Beijing that are packed in ceramic bowls. Most of them are packed in leaves. These leaves are green and exude the fragrance of leaves. And the food is packed in leaves like this, and the color is also very bright.
For example, there is a circle of rice surrounding the shredded chicken. There are purple rice, black rice, yellow rice, red rice, etc., piled in a circle like rainbow rice. Fu Bao's eyes lit up when he saw it.
"Yu Wenyan, what is this? Why are there so many colors of rice?"
Yu Wenyan filled a bowl for Fu Bao, took a spoonful of rice of various colors, and carefully placed the rice of various colors in a circle around her small bowl.
"These are five-color rice, dyed with plant branches and leaves. It is healthy and natural."
Fu Bao said "Oh" and couldn't wait to take a bite of the black rice. "Well, it doesn't seem to be rice. It still has the fragrance of leaves! It's sticky, is it glutinous rice?"
"Yes, it's glutinous rice." Yu Wenyan nodded, "The one in the middle is roasted chicken. The chicken skin is baked with honey. It's charred on the outside and tender on the inside. Try it, Fu Bao."
He gave the best piece of meat to Fu Bao, and for a moment he watched Fu Bao take a bite. A little bit of oil overflowed from Fu Bao's mouth. Fu Bao's eyes lit up: "This is delicious! It's really good!"
"
It’s no worse than their barbecue outdoors in the snow! It’s also brushed with honey sauce, and the crispy skin has a little sweetness, but it’s not too much, and it doesn’t overwhelm you at all. It’s especially delicious!
Fu Bao greeted his uncles, "It's super delicious! Your uncles will eat it too!"
Jiang Li and the others also gave Fu Bao meat and then ate it themselves. Jiang Li took a bite of the meat and nodded: "It's really good."
He is the owner of Hongfu Restaurant and has a lot of knowledge about food. Although he has heard that the food in Southwest China is excellent, this is the first time he has tasted it. Jiang Li nodded silently, it was indeed good.
Yu Wenyan heard this and said, "Uncles, please eat more. There are also vegetables."
Jiang Li secretly thought, who is your uncle? Don't call him so affectionate. Brat, you have a lot of thoughts...
But seeing that Fu Bao was eating so happily, and they were still eating other people's delicacies in their own bowls - it is said that eating people is soft-mouthed, and taking people is short-handed, Jiang Li still swallowed this slander.
The main dish that came later was pineapple purple rice, which had the fragrance of pineapple, and Fu Bao also ate some. Then there was bamboo tube rice, which had the fragrance of bamboo, but had no other taste, so Fu Bao also took a bite.
In addition to these, the dish also came with pickled bamboo shoots and stir-fried meat, which was particularly fragrant. The bamboo shoots were crispy and had a pickled sour taste. Added to the oily aroma of the meat, Fubao ate less than half a bowl.
As for Fubao’s favorite meats, there are also lemongrass grilled fish and lemongrass grilled chicken. Fubao can eat a lot of this kind of meat roasted with spices, and it is the most delicious, especially if you don’t know.
The spicy and sour dipping sauce is here. Take a bite and your mouth will be filled with the aroma of meat. It’s very comfortable!
The remaining fried pork skin and beef skin are fried until they swell and become crispy when you bite them. Fu Bao eats them as snacks.
Seeing that she liked it, Yu Wenyan said, "I'll keep it in the kitchen for you to make snacks from now on."
Fu Bao Gaba Gaba bit into the fried pig skin and nodded: "Yeah! Yu Wenyan is the best!"
Jiang Li has a heart attack.
This silly girl is really the best for anyone if she has something to eat.
Yu Wenyan couldn't help but curl his lips and smile, and didn't even take off his chopsticks for a long time.
However, Hua Chong also has some special dishes, which are all kinds of fried insects. For example, the white and fat fried cicada pupae, Fu Bao can still take a bite, but she doesn’t like the greasy texture very much.
I wasn't happy to eat it after one bite. As for other fried grasshoppers and the like, Fubao wouldn't dare to eat them.
On the other hand, Jiang Yuan and Jiang Shou looked as if they had eaten a lot. For them, these insects were nothing to be afraid of. They were just delicacies like snacks, and they accepted them well.
Finally, there are cold rice noodles, sliced ham and fried mushrooms, which are also very fresh, so fresh that they will fall off your tongue.
Yu Wenyan explained: "These fungi are all found in the mountains. What we eat now is not the freshest. They are all dry goods from last spring. The fungi for the next season should basically come out in the beginning of spring."
It's winter now, so we can't pick any fungi... Fu Bao was a little curious, "Is it fun to pick fungi?"
Yu Wenyan said: "...Maybe you will like it?"
Fu Bao had an idea and looked at his uncles pitifully, "Then why not... let's stay in Huachong until spring and go back after picking the fungi?"
They have to buy tea in the southwest anyway, so it won't be a problem if they stay a little longer.
The uncles looked at Fu Bao secretly: "If you want to pick mushrooms, you can pick them on the mountains of Beijing and Zhuangzi..."
Fu Bao curled his lips and said, "Hmph. Just stay a little longer. Taixue won't start school until spring anyway..."
The little girl became playful, and Yu Wenyan also said: "Why don't you just stay in Huachong for a while, you don't have to worry."
Jiang Li and the others had always doted on Fu Bao. Seeing the little baby pouting and looking unhappy, they could only sigh in the end, "Okay."
It was only then that the clouds cleared up. Fubao smiled and winked at Yu Wenyan, saying he wanted to thank his brother for his help.
