Chapter 502 The Box Lunch on the Train
Ok.

This turbulent time can only be spent chatting with Dantu and Danyang.

Judging from this speed, it is not impossible to reach Hangzhou within two hours.

The train quickly passed Changzhou and Wuxi, and arrived in Suzhou City.

At this time, the train had been moving forward for an hour, and the entire Nanjing-Hangzhou Railway was halfway through.

The railway station in Suzhou, Li Chu's side is under the control of the Qilin army, and it is not yet open to the public, but the train stops in Suzhou for a long time.At the railway station in Suzhou, a large number of lunch boxes are also prepared here, and they are delivered to the train as soon as the car arrives.

The speed of a dining car cannot satisfy so many people.

What's more, it's a pity if you can't enjoy a boxed meal on the train when you take the train?

In later generations, although the lunch boxes on the train were more expensive, the price was in the atmosphere.

Moreover, the box lunches on the trains in later generations are still relatively cheap. The so-called expensive is only a matter of a few years ago. However, so many years have passed, and the prices in society have become high. A fast food outside will start at 10 yuan, and the box lunch on the train will still maintain the original price, only 15 yuan or 20 yuan. I feel a little bit more conscientious.

Of course, the price is second, and the main thing to eat is the atmosphere.

The atmosphere is the first!

So at the opening ceremony of the Nanjing-Hangzhou Railway, Li Chu also naturally prepared boxed lunches for everyone.

Soon, these boxed lunches were rolled out from the trolleys to the compartments.

The lunch box is made of environmentally friendly materials. The dishes in the box are braised pork, stewed pork, stir-fried lotus root, fried poached egg with leek, some vegetables, and a box of seaweed egg drop soup.

Although pork is cheap meat, pork in this era is as cheap as the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and even the royal family occasionally eats some, so these literati and bureaucrats don't care about it, especially these things are owned by the hotel run by the Qilin Army Before the meal arrives, the delicious aroma has already hit the nostrils. Everyone's appetite has been stimulated by this aroma, but the speed of the flight attendant distributing the boxed lunch is really too slow.

Those who are slow to come up with gluttons can't wait to take it directly.

Of course, they are all civilized people, and they must maintain this etiquette and restrain themselves. They are all celebrities, how can they be like a countryman?
I don’t blame them for being delicious, but from the morning until now, the Qilin Army has only provided tea here. My stomach has been growling with hunger for a long time. I thought I would have to wait until I arrived in Hangzhou to enjoy lunch, but I didn’t expect There is also food provided on this train, and it is such a rich and fragrant meal.

How can a person who is hungry at this time endure it?
In addition, this seaweed egg drop soup is served in a large stainless steel basin.

At this time, the food of the common people did not have seasonings. Many of the chicken essence and monosodium glutamate in later generations were extracted from kelp, seaweed, etc., so the taste of this seaweed egg flower soup is very delicious, especially The big pot is still open, and the fragrance is overflowing.

The days of waiting for food are suffering.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for them to have boxes of lunch and bowls of seaweed egg drop soup.

Nothing else to say.

The most important thing is this seaweed and egg drop soup. In today's era, where are the vegetables from the sea?This is also the first time I saw this seaweed. At first, everyone thought it was some ordinary root vegetables cut like this. As soon as the soup entered the mouth, an extremely delicious taste hit the taste buds. For a moment, I only felt my scalp numb. …

The umami taste was too overwhelming.

And this egg flower.

For the first time, many people feel that this egg can still be made like this.

In the past, they just put eggs in water and boiled them into a round shape. Many people tried to smash the eggs into the soup, but there was no suitable seasoning, and the salt was coarse salt, which contained a lot of salt. The big other flavors are in it, and the poor people can't eat salt anymore. Just put a piece of vinegar cloth in it and boil it. How can the egg soup produced in this way have any taste?
It's either too fishy or too bitter and astringent, and the egg soup doesn't look like egg soup.

But now, this bowl of seaweed and egg flower soup is very beautiful just because of its appearance. After taking another sip of the soup, the delicious seaweed and egg custard enter the mouth, and the slightly salty taste sublimates the umami taste. .

This boiled egg soup is so delicious, it's just an egg soup, why haven't we had it before?
Look around again, then look at everyone. Everyone is holding this bowl of seaweed and egg drop soup in their hands and tasting it carefully. Let’s not talk about the taste. Just this scene alone makes people feel like they have just eaten it. Seaweed and egg drop soup tastes even better.

Opening this box of lunch again, I didn't expect this small box to be so magically useful.

Looking at the food, the first thing I saw was the braised pork with red soup.

This braised pork still has some heat.

I just drank seaweed and egg drop soup and immediately opened up my appetite. Now I see this fat and thin Jianyi, red and red braised pork with red soup, I can't bear it anymore, and I just picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks The meat is stuffed into the mouth.

Fortunately, the chopsticks that come with this lunch box are directly separated in pairs, and there is no need to open them from the middle.

One bite of meat.

I don't know how the pork is processed, there is no fishy smell, not only that, the first thing I tasted in this entrance is the red soup.

These soups are when cooking braised pork, some residual soup is collected with high fire, and the braised soup is boiled. The nutrition of boiled pork and the essence of the ingredients of braised pork are stored in this soup. The last piece of stewed braised pork, this half lean meat and half fat meat, this bite, um, oh, this taste,, um...

How, can it be so delicious?

Especially Zhang Ruoyun, he almost got drunk after eating this braised pork, drunk in the deliciousness of this braised pork.

After a while, the braised pork in his lunch box was gone.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that there was still a lot of braised pork in the eldest son's box lunch.

Stretching out the chopsticks, pinching the meat, retracting them, and putting them in the mouth, these movements are so quick that they couldn't be more quick, as if they have been contacted thousands of times. The chopsticks are fast, accurate, and ruthless. The opportunity to react, when the eldest son reacted, the meat had already entered Zhang Ruoyun's mouth, and he had finished eating it, and the second ultimate move had already been stretched out, but this time the eldest son was on guard, and the chopsticks were ready to go was intercepted.

"Father, you can't do this! Please let me go, and let the child eat some."
