Xue Panzhi's gossip red mansion

If you say that Xun is the Jingci Town where you met, it is famous for its porcelain, and it is an extremely lively place in the Panyang area.There are a lot of vendors here and there, not only Daqing people, but occasionally you can still see one or two red-haired devils. This statement is a bit disrespectful, but in the eyes of Daqing people now, these foreign Westerners really don’t let them down. place of their respect.

"Uncle, Fifth Master, when I went to the noodle shop, I met two red hairs..." Huang Qi saw Xue Pan's calm expression, and changed his words immediately, "It's that Westerner who is eating, they actually I can still use chopsticks, but the noodle thread is very thin. Those people have been holding it for a long time, but it either broke or failed to pick it up. In the end, the boss taught them to use chopsticks to wrap the noodle thread from the inside to the outside. Only when you wake up can you put it in your mouth."

Before, Xue Pan did not expect that Xie would really go to that noodle shop. That place is at the east gate, which is different from Nancheng. There are more traffickers there, and some of them are kilns. .There are quite a lot of people, not only laborers, but also traders from all over the place.If you really want to integrate into the market, there is no better choice.

"This is the place—" Huang Qi pointed to the intersection of a street corner, and there was a constant flow of people coming and going.When the sun just went down, the store started to have a night market, and there would naturally be fewer customers.

Xue Pan took a rough look at the layout of the shop, which was a bit interesting.

Unlike the imaginary roadside stalls, the boss has set up a few tables at the entrance of the store, where most of them seem to be people doing rough work, and the food is not very particular.In the shop, there were five or six tables, but it was not full of people. What interested Xue Pan was that the environment in the shop was very clean, without any special decorations, but for people who came to eat, It's a cool place to look at.The food inside looks like merchants, and they serve a few dishes, but there are also some in twos and threes who come to eat noodles.

"Guests, why not invite inside? The pig's knuckle noodles in the shop are pretty good. It's getting colder outside, but it's best to have a bowl of warm noodle soup at night." Xiao Er looked at Xue Pan and the others greeted him immediately with seven-point smiles.Seeing Xie Shi's cold face, he was slightly taken aback, then turned to look at Xue Pan.

"Fifth brother, why don't you just sit inside." When Xue Pan finished speaking, Xie nodded subtly, picked a table that looked cleanest to him, and sat down, restraining himself a lot. The relationship between them, the people around only took a look, and then restored the situation that was full of people just now.

"This is the food list of the small shop. The special feature here is noodles, and there are also some home-cooked dishes. If the guest officer has any game from the countryside that he wants to eat, we can make one or two." Xiaoer's two books The small and large pieces of wood were handed to Xue Pan and Xie respectively, and the dishes were clearly written on them, and the prices were clearly marked on the back.

Xue Pan looked at Xun as if he was undecided, and asked Xiao Er, "It says that the best ones are pig's knuckle noodle noodles and pumpkin noodle noodles. What do you say?"

"Guest officer, this pig's knuckle noodle is made of soup. After the noodle is boiled, it is poured with braised pig's knuckle, and it is boiled with rich soup, but the oil of the noodle has penetrated. Sticking is a must. And the pumpkin noodle is even more unpalatable outside. The pumpkin is cut into very thin strips and stir-fried together with the thin strips of noodle. But our boss’s housekeeper Ability." Xiao Er said it vividly, making everyone have the idea of ​​​​going to try it.

"Fifth brother, what do you think? I still want to try the pumpkin."

Xie thought he would still order a plate of pig's knuckles, and he could share it with Xue Pan. "Pig feet."

Xue Pan asked Huang Qi and the others to find a table for them to eat by themselves, even if they ordered two dishes.

Without making people wait for a long time, the child put on the facial thread, and a burst of fragrance wafted out of his nostrils.Xue Pan picked it up with chopsticks, and the noodle noodles seemed to be like mountain streams. The lines were clear and amiable, but the roots were still distinct, and it tasted like pumpkin, which was refreshing.And Xun looked at Xue Pan enjoying it, and didn't mind the little scallions on the noodles, which he usually doesn't eat, but at this time, he really tasted the pork knuckle juice sautéed with shallots. In its purest flavor.

Xiao Er is still looking at these two, although eating noodles in this small street shop, it gives people a feeling as if they are tasting heavenly delicacies, and it seems like they are drinking and chatting with the merchants over there. It's a layer of tulle.Just when he was fascinated, he was awakened by the sound of the kitchen's call, and quickly put down his messy thoughts and went to do his own work.

After Xue Pan and the others had eaten their meals, it was an hour after they had walked around this place, and they went back to this noodle shop again. This time they saw the boss, Xue Pan thought. Then I bought some raw noodle noodles, which I can cook myself on the way.

"I don't know if the guest officer needs anything else?" The boss certainly didn't forget Xue Pan and Xie Shi, these two people seemed out of place here.

Xue Pan looked at the shop with no customers at this time, and it was time to close the stall. "To be honest, I don't know if the boss's raw noodles are sold here. We want to buy some to eat on the road. The taste of the boss's cooking is the closest to Fujian, and it is almost the same as the local one. This soup The sauce and knife skills are superb, if you don't know, you will think it is the chef of Huixian Building."

The boss's eyes lit up when he heard Xue Pan's words, who doesn't like to hear a good word.People in Huixian Building Panyang don't know, but if they go to Quanzhou and Fuzhou, everyone will know it. Waiting for a chef.Therefore, when Xue Pan said that his noodle sushi has reached such a level that it can be compared to the famous dishes of Huixianlou, it is really a compliment.

"I don't dare to take this as a compliment. My son, I have been to Fuzhou. I really learned this stuff from there. Wait a minute." The boss entered the back kitchen, and soon took out a small bamboo bucket , there are bundles of white and slender noodles tied with small red paper. "Of course this thing can be taken away."

"I heard that this thing is different from pulled noodles. It must be made by two people. I don't know if it's appropriate to ask. The boss's accent doesn't sound like a Fujianese. How did he have such a skill?" Xue Pan said It is derived from the origin of this noodle.To say that Daqing only makes noodles in Fujian, and maybe Chaozhou also has some, but there are no such authentic ones.The boss's things here are really authentic, which made him have this doubt.

The boss glanced at the kitchen in embarrassment, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, my father-in-law's family is from Fuzhou, and they are in the noodle business. When I went there to catch goods a few years ago, I met my wife's family. , then opened a shop like this later, it’s their craftsmanship.”

Xun looked at the bundles of noodles neatly arranged like embroidery threads in the small bucket, and felt that this restaurant should also often do a takeaway business. "Does anyone keep coming to buy these raw noodles?"

The boss didn't expect that Xie on the side would open his mouth to care about this issue, but he shook his head, "At first there were, but there are really not many repeat customers. People here are not very good at burning these things. If they are not heated enough, they will be too raw, but If it is too hot, it will become a paste, which is not easy to deal with. If you two want to buy it, you have to think clearly, it is not easy to handle."

Xue Pan smiled and signaled the boss to rest assured, "We have someone who can serve us, so we will definitely not spoil this delicious food, but it is hard to eat such authentic food outside of Fuzhou. Speaking of which, the boss is also courageous , Instead of opening a shop in Fuzhou, I settled in Panyang, but there are skilled people on the left and right, and the business is booming."

The boss also smiled, but he unconsciously leaked a trace of melancholy. It was because Xue Pan was too approachable that he himself did not expect to continue, "This is too difficult to describe. I also did not expect that I would really return to my hometown and settle down. You know that a person like me who runs away does not think about returning to his roots at such an age. But the business in Fujian is not easy to do, and the number of customers coming to the old man’s shop is also decreasing. They all go to In the big restaurant, or there are more and more shops on the road. After my mother-in-law's old relatives have passed away, the two of us will return to Panyang."

Xun looked at the age of the boss, but he didn't look like he was thirty, but it would be good if he could settle down sooner, but for some reason, the business in Fujian was getting harder and harder. To have a place to live over there.

Xue Pan knew what he was going to ask by looking at Xun Shi's face. He asked the boss tactfully, "I heard that both Quanzhou and Fuzhou are extremely lively. I'm afraid the boss doesn't like such a lively scene?"

At this time, in addition to Canton, there are also Quanzhou and Fuzhou in the outer trading ports in the south of Daqing. It is extremely impossible to say that there is no passenger flow there.The boss also thought of that kind of prosperity, but he shook his head helplessly, "How could it be that he hates the excitement? It's just that the competition over there is too fierce. It's not suitable for a small business like ours. In addition, I also seem to be returning I went back to my hometown, so I went back to Panyang. But I heard that due to the influx of a large number of vendors from south to north, some people’s life is easier, but some people are hard. Don’t look here. There are red-haired ones, and there are yellow-haired ones there. Some people heard that Westerners like tea, and they want to imitate the rich tea merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, but how can it be so easy in Fuzhou? I just watched the day It's also a bit bitter."

However, Xue Pan was hit by this sentence. He went to Fuzhou not only to see Song Quan, but also because of what his master said in his letter that some people went to the mountains to pick tea. .You must know that at this time, oolong tea has not yet emerged in Daqing, and in the original world, the place where it rose was in southern Fujian.

Once, the rise of oolong tea added a lot of color to the history of Chinese tea.So what now?
