Chapter 199 Xining Snacks (Part 1)
There are three routes to take from Gulang to Qinghai Lake.n∈n∈,
First, take a small road, you can go straight from Gulang to Qinghai Lake. This road is relatively close, but some of them are remote dirt roads, and the road conditions are not very good.
There were a group of people in the car, and Cai Hongming didn't dare to take such a path.
One is to take the national highway. The national highway is better, but the road is twisty and turns, and the speed is very slow.
The third is to take the expressway. Like the national highway, you will first go to Lanzhou, then go to Xining to transfer to Qinghai Lake via the Beijing-Tibet Expressway. Although this route is longer than the small road, it is very fast because the entire expressway is fast, so it is more reassuring to walk. So Cai Hongming and others took the expressway.
This time, Cai Hongming and his team drove two Knights 15th Generations, a modified Hummer and a desert truck, all the way, and I don’t know how many people were shattering their eyes.
Especially the slutty golden knight 15th, wherever it drives, its mighty figure and rich golden color will attract a group of people to watch.
Someone took photos and posted them on WeChat directly. Someone would think they were PS. If a bunch of people posted, it would definitely be true. The Internet started to make trouble, and people guessed where the rich man came from.
Of course, Cai Hongming and the others didn't know about these things.
It was very tiring to ride a car, especially staying in the car all day long. Chuchu, who was originally very excited, gradually became a wilted chicken. When the car drove to Lanzhou, she had already fallen asleep.
In fact, it was not very far from Gulang to Qinghai Lake, and it took only six or seven hours to take the expressway. It was just a delay from the farm to Wuwei. When they arrived in Xining, it was already dark. They settled in the Qinghai Shengli Hotel. This was a state guesthouse in the past, mainly to entertain national leaders. Most people could not come in, and now it has gradually become popular.
It was still early, and it was unrealistic to go to bed immediately after taking a car for a day, so Cai Hongming and others put the things in, washed them a little, and went out shopping and had something to eat.
Xining snacks are very famous in the local area. Cai Hongming and others walked around and came to a beef noodle shop called Shibazi.
Although this store says it is a beef noodle shop, it is not the beef noodle, but the kang potatoes and kang mutton.
The potatoes in the shop are cooked with mutton and beef and sheep bones, then poured with chili oil and fryed in the pancake stove. When serving, sprinkled with spices and chopped green onions, which have a strange aroma. Because chili oil is added, the fried potato cubes are very fragrant. They have to be rustling and soft. Because the salty flavor and the taste of cattle and sheep have penetrated into the potatoes, they taste amazingly delicious.
The method of making kang mutton is similar to that of tin plate mutton, vermicelli, and mutton.
The mutton of this kang is cooked first, and when the customer wants it, it is frying in mutton oil, served with vegetables, vermicelli and cooked. When served, it is still a big pot of steaming and aroma! There is almost no soup inside, and it is full of meat, which makes people very enjoyable.
Xining is the capital of Qinghai Province. Qinghai Animal Husbandry is one of the five major pastoral areas in China and an important animal husbandry production base.
The province has a 10,000 hectares of grassland, accounting for 53.6% of the province's area. The grassland carries 100,000 livestock (sizes). Among them, more than 5 million yaks are called "Snow Mountain Boat", which is nearly half of the country; there are more than 14 million sheep. It is precisely because of the developed animal husbandry here that the beef and mutton here are good and cheap.
Cai Hongming and his party had many people, but only two dishes were definitely not good, so he asked the shop owner to make these two dishes into large portions for several people, and ordered homemade chicken and some beef noodles.
It is rare to eat authentic Xining snacks, and Liu Chong, Hao Meili and others who followed him started eating them hard.
Shi Wan'er's belly is small and she can't eat much. Cai Hongming wanted to keep a stomachache, so he was very careful. He only had a bowl of beef noodles and Shi Wan'er, and Chuchu and the other two shared it.
After eating, Liu re-painted his bulging belly, feeling that this is a decent life.
Cai Hongming glanced at him and smiled slightly. Without explaining, he continued to lead them forward.
He was not familiar with this place, but he had read the map when he came and knew the roads basically.
There is a very famous snack street in Xining called Mojia Street, also known as Mazhong Food City. There are a wide variety of snacks in it. The most are beef noodles, baked naan, stuffed skin, barbecue kebabs, big bread and other things. Because I just ate lamb and beef noodles, everyone is not very interested in the popular baked naan, big bread, beef noodles, barbecue kebabs and other things. However, there are some unique grilled lamb sausages and lamb distillers that attracted the attention of the two girls Hao Meili and Tang Xiaojun. I couldn't help but buy a few skewers to eat, and even Shi Wan'er bought a little.
So, there was a phenomenon. The three girls, while walking, were eating with grilled skewers such as grilled lamb sausages or lamb miscellaneous skewers, ignoring the strange gazes around them.
After walking a few steps, Cai Hongming saw a stall selling freshly baked potato chips, so he bought a small bag to eat. Unexpectedly, Chuchu was targeted and then disappeared.
"Mom, mom, look, there is grandma." Chuchu said, pointing to the bowls of yogurt on a stall next to her.
Because it is a major animal husbandry production area, Xining's dairy industry is very developed and there are many types of yogurt. Many of them are made by herdsmen and sold, so there are many stalls like this that are made into bowls and placed on the roadside, which is very common. Although the yogurt on this stall is not as hygienic as the exquisite bottles and boxes, this yogurt is often the most authentic Xining yogurt.
"This is yogurt, sour," Shi Wan'er explained.
"Can you drink it?" Chuchu said curiously.
"It's ok, but" the child didn't understand what the sour taste was, and Shi Wan'er didn't know how to explain it to him.
"Buy her a try." Cai Hongming said from the side, but he didn't like the taste of yogurt, so he asked Shi Wan'er: "Do you like drinking yogurt?"
Shi Wan'er shook her head.
He turned to Liu Chong and others and asked, "Who do you like to drink yogurt?"
"I." Hao Mei raised his hand and said.
"Then you buy a bowl of yogurt and let Chuchu have a drink to try."
"Um."
So Hao Meili went to buy a bowl of yogurt. The yogurt here is not worth much. A large bowl with a diameter of 12 or 3 cm wide is only 2.5 yuan per bowl, and a small bowl of 1.5 yuan per bowl. After buying it, Hao Meili gave Chuchu the yogurt to drink. Cai Hongming took out his high-definition camera phone and took pictures next to him.
The yogurt has a layer of yellow crumbs on the surface, which seems to be oil droplets.
This layer of yellow has a reason, because yogurt made of high-fat high-quality plateau milk can easily precipitate fine oils, that is, butter. This is also an appearance of high-quality yogurt. Many people know this and will specifically choose yogurt with butter on the surface to buy it. It is just one foot taller, and many unscrupulous merchants use this to attract people and make a bowl of "fake yellow". The so-called fake yellow is to wait for the yogurt to solidify and then drop the butter on it. Some of the drops are not even butter, but are dripping with yellow vegetable oil or yellow animal oil.
