i have a traveling frog

Chapter 223 I respect you for being a man!
Su Wenran has been in Yuanzhou for a long time, and he is used to looking at car houses and spending money like water. Although his life is not very good, it seems that this world is still quite beautiful.

He has seen some tragic situations in impoverished mountainous areas on TV, but this is the first time he has truly felt the difference in this world.

It turns out that this world is not so beautiful.

The car was bumping forward, and many of the people in the car seemed to be traveling, and they were looking at the map of Qingzhou City.

Huayin seemed to be very familiar with it, she closed her eyes and didn't care about anything.

Su Wenran looked out the window, full of thoughts.

When they arrived at Dahui Gucheng Station, Hua Yin led Su Wenran off the bus.

Judging from the station, the ancient city of Assembly is indeed worthy of being called an ancient city.

Outside the station, you can see the pavilions and old bridges on the moat in the distance, all of which are old styles and mottled.

There is a long section of city wall in the distance, covered with ivy, which looks like a green wall from a distance.

"Let's take you to eat something first." Hua Yin said, "It's still a few hours before we get to school, so there's nothing to eat in between."

Su Wenran was also a little hungry, so he nodded.

Huayin was obviously very familiar with this place, so he took Su Wenran to the left and right, and found a small frying shop in an alley.

"Take you to eat some specialties here." Hua Yin said with a smile.

Su Wenran only heard what Hua Yin and the boss said about fish biting sheep, Guanyin tofu, Houttuynia cordata, etc. In short, they were dishes that he had never heard of before.

After a while, the dishes were served, and Hua Yin asked Su Wenran to eat first.

Su Wenran first ate the fish biting the sheep, and found that the fish belly was filled with mutton. It was the first time he ate it. However, the fish cooked in this way was crispy and rotten, and the mutton was neither fishy nor smelly. The soup was delicious. , the taste is delicious.

"En, not bad." Su Wenran said.

Hua Yin began to explain the allusion of the fish biting the sheep to Su Wenran.

It is said that in the ancient city of the Qing Dynasty, someone brought sheep across the river, but the sheep drowned and died, and the fish in the water began to eat the mutton. Later, someone fished and found that the fish was very delicious, which was different from the past. After inquiring, I knew After this matter, the mutton was stuffed into the belly of the fish and cooked together. It really had a unique flavor. Since then, the dish of fish biting sheep has been spread in the ancient city. It is a dish that will be served whenever someone has a wedding or a wedding. .

Su Wenran listened with relish, and said, "You know a lot."

"I like to eat it. I was curious about it for the first time. I asked the boss. The boss told me." Hua Yin said with a smile.

Su Wenran looked at the second dish and knew it was called Guanyin Tofu, but the color...

It turned out to be green tofu, a bit like mung bean cake, but it looks a little transparent, and it looks like a Q bomb.

Su Wenran took a bite and found that it was indeed smooth and soft, fragrant and refreshing, even cooler than ordinary tofu.

"This... is good for relieving the heat." Su Wenran said.

"Wow, you are a foreigner, you are really smart, this dish is eaten in summer, and it is a good product to relieve the heat." The boss praised with a smile.

Huayin told the allusion. Since it is called Guanyin tofu, it is naturally related to Guanyin Bodhisattva. It is said that there was a great famine in the ancient city hundreds of years ago. People had nothing to eat. After the merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva knew about it, he taught people to pick A kind of wild tree leaves, made into tofu to satisfy hunger, hence the name of Guanyin tofu.

"Boss, am I right?" Hua Yin asked proudly.

"That's right, that's right, but everyone in our ancient city knows about it." The boss laughed.

Su Wenran was curious and asked, "How is this tofu made?"

Su Wenran roughly knows the production process of ordinary tofu, which is made from soybeans, but this Guanyin tofu is dark green, so it must not be made from soybeans.

Hua Yin was taken aback, she didn't know how to do it, so she asked the boss: "Boss, how do you make Guanyin tofu?"

The boss smiled and said: "This Guanyin tofu is made from a kind of wild leaves unique to Daliang Mountain. Its scientific name is fujiao. We pick the young leaves that are new in the year, wash them, pour them into clean water, and knead them into a paste with your hands. Then use a clean cloth to filter out the leaf residue. Then take an appropriate amount of plant ash, mix it evenly with water, and filter it into gray water. Pour the gray water into the leaf juice and stir it with chopsticks while pouring. The leaf juice will gradually thicken and solidify, and the tofu is ready. It's done. Don't tell me, many young people in the ancient city don't know how to do it anymore, and only a few old shops like ours still sell."

The boss's smile was very proud, but also a little melancholy.

Although the ancient city maintains the style of the ancient city, under the general trend of national economic development, their lives have also been significantly impacted. Young people choose to go out more, and some customs and crafts in the ancient city are gradually disappearing. .

Su Wenran had something in mind and continued to eat the last dish, Houttuynia cordata.

Houttuynia cordata has nothing to do with fish. It is often called Zheergen. It is the rhizome part of a plant, which is light white and node-shaped.

"I know this Houttuynia cordata is the name of a traditional Chinese medicine, but I don't know that it can be used for cooking." Su Wenran sighed, and picked one up and put it in his mouth.

This dish smells a bit fishy, ​​eating...it seems a bit stinky!

Su Wenran wanted to vomit, but the boss was beside him, who seemed to be very impolite, so he swallowed abruptly.

Seeing Su Wenran's expression, Hua Yin laughed out loud.

"It's okay, just eat more. It's the first time I vomited directly. Hahaha."

The boss heard that it was the first time for Su Wenran to eat it, and said, "It's not a habit to eat it for the first time, but after several times, you'll like it."

Su Wenran thought to himself, for those who like to eat this food, how heavy is the taste?
As a result... Su Wenran watched Hua Yin send it to his mouth one by one with chopsticks...

Su Wenran rarely admires anyone, and Hua Yin is one of them.

"I respect you for being a man!" Su Wenran couldn't help saying.

"Eat a little more, you'll get used to it if you eat a lot, and then you'll find that you like the taste." Hua Yin put a chopstick into Su Wenran's bowl.

Su Wenran heard what she and the boss said, and felt that it was true. He didn't really like it. How could Hua Yin eat so fiercely...

Su Wenran bit the bullet and ate one, and seemed to feel better, but he still didn't find it delicious. He barely finished eating what Huayin had brought, but Huayin wanted to take it again, and Su Wenran said nothing.

After the two of them finished eating, Su Wenran went to pay, and it was only 50 yuan. Su Wenran immediately felt that it was very cheap. Three dishes, two meals, this price is really conscientious.

Su Wenran thought that this was considered a scenic spot, and the price would definitely not be cheap. He didn't expect it to be so cheap. It seemed that the people in the ancient city were very simple.

After Su Wenran and Hua Yin finished eating, they returned to the station. After waiting for a while, Hua Yin took Su Wenran into another car.

This is a tricycle, the shape is really worn out, and the engine is beeping. Su Wenran felt that if he was in Yuanzhou, this car would not be allowed on the road. In the garbage dump next to Jinsha Village, he could find a car similar to this car. .
