Chapter 12 The Taste of Hometown (Seeking Monthly Pass)(1/2)
At half past seven, Huang Shang and Lin Qingfei arrived at the hotel. Qianhua had also finished dressing up and appeared in front of the two of them.
"Brother Huang Shang, sister Jiang, good morning!"
Still as energetic as ever.
Lin Dragonfly hugged Huang Shang's arm tightly and said with a smile: "Good morning."
"..."
Qianhua smiled and said: "The relationship between sister Jiang and brother Huang Shang is so good!"
Huh! This woman is really not that simple.
Lin Dragonfly put her hand on Huang Shang's palm and was about to clasp her fingers tightly when Qianhua held the small bag and said with a smile: "Brother Huang Shang, I'm hungry, let's go get breakfast!"
"good."
Huang Shang held Lin Dragonfly's hand with his backhand and said, "Let's go! I'll take you to eat SC's classic breakfast - pancakes today."
There is a pancake stall in a street in SC that has been in business for thirty years. It is the most authentic Jinwei pancake. The owner is over fifty this year. He has been doing this since he was twenty years old. Over the years, he has accumulated countless repeat customers. Every day
He rides a three-wheeler out to sell pancakes before dawn, and the crowd is always packed with customers. Many people who live far away even drive their cars and queue up just to take a bite of his pancakes.
You have to come early because they are sold out after 8:30.
It was almost eight o'clock when Huang Shang took Qianhua to the pancake stall, and there were still about ten people queuing up.
"Wow, there are so many people." Apart from tourist attractions, this was the first time Qianhua saw so many people lining up in front of a food stall. She licked her lips and said, "The pancakes here must be delicious."
"It's delicious, but the main thing you eat is the traditional taste." Huang Shang said: "In fact, there are many new-style pancakes now, which taste very good, but there are too many added ingredients and they don't have the traditional taste."
"Yeah." Qianhua nodded: "Just like many new stores in Japan, new food will always be launched. If you want to eat the old taste, you still have to go to those old stores."
"That's the truth." Huang Shang smiled and said: "That's why I brought you to taste the unique old flavor here, which is not found in other places."
Qianhua nodded with a smile: "I'm looking forward to it!"
Because the two of them communicated in Japanese, Lin Dragonfly couldn't get in the conversation. She was so anxious that she only regretted that she hadn't studied Japanese well before, otherwise she wouldn't have allowed this vixen to 'monopolize' her brother unscrupulously.
I want to learn Japanese and learn it when I go back!
"Boss, three sets of pancakes, two eggs, and two pancakes."
Finally got it scheduled.
The boss had just been listening to the exchange between him and Qianhua. He thought they were Japanese. Now when he heard Huang Shang's authentic local accent, he asked: "Young man, are you not Japanese?"
This is what I said.
Huang Shang was helpless: "I'm a local, and the girl next to me is a friend I met in Japan. I came here yesterday for a trip. Didn't I bring her to try our local traditional food? Boss, please stop pulling your crotch and give it to us.
It leaves a negative impression on international friends.”
"Oh! I didn't see it! The young man even got a Japanese girlfriend." The boss smiled, as if he was very satisfied with Huang Shang's smile that brought glory to China.
"What nonsense!" Lin Dragonfly said angrily: "My brother is still single!"
"Huh?" The boss glanced at Lin Dragonfly, then at Qianhua, hehehe twice, skillfully spread out the three sets of pancakes, and when Huang Shang gave the money, he said: "Young man, come on."
"..."
What kind of oil should I add? Boss, did you misunderstand something?
The three of them left the pancake stall and tasted pancakes while walking.
Because this place is far away from home, Huang Shang and Lin Dragonfly have never eaten it a few times since they were so old, but this old taste still suits their appetite.
Qianhua took a bite and chewed it with a "hmm" sound. Her eyes lit up and she said, "It's delicious!"
Pancakes made of bean noodles, leeks and eggs are mixed and beaten on top, and there is also the fragrance of raw chopped green onion, as well as the combination of sweet noodle sauce, salty noodle sauce and chili sauce, and then rolled with two crispy fried dough sticks. It looks simple, but
It tastes really good.
Qianhua ate with big mouthfuls, but because she was eating in a hurry, she accidentally choked.
"Hmm~~" Qianhua looked at him with pleading eyes.
"..."
I quickly went to a roadside store and bought two bottles of mineral water.
"Ha..." After sending the pancakes down with water, Qianhua breathed a sigh of relief: "It's alive."
"Why are you eating so fast?" Huang Shang scolded: "Now I know how powerful it is."
"Hey hey hey." Qianhua tapped her forehead and stuck out her tongue.
This cute look made the forest dragonfly grit his teeth: vixen.
"Are you full?" Huang Shang asked.
"Hmm." Qianhua touched her belly and said a little shyly, "You can have some more."
big eater!
Lin Dragonfly sneered in her heart.
"Let's go! I'll take you to eat pot cakes and Laodoufu."
Pot cake is a kind of northern pasta. The finished product is a huge, round, thick dough cake. Many people say that there are two kinds of pot cake, one is Shandong pot cake and the other is from Xuzhou.
Pot cakes, but the local pot cakes in SC are different from those two.
SC pot cakes are softer and contain sesame sauce and salt and pepper. Even if they are not paired with anything else, they can be eaten as a meal. In terms of taste, they are just average, so locals like to eat them with old tofu.
The so-called Lao Dou Fu is actually tofu pudding, but the general tofu pudding is a bowl full of tofu with only a little marinade, while SC's Lao Dou Fu only has a small amount of tofu and most of it is hot soup, whether it is pot cakes or sesame cakes.
Or fried dough sticks, both are rare delicacies.
The origin of the local old tofu is unknown, but like pot cakes, it has developed its own unique flavor. The soup of the old tofu is especially delicious, with a lot of seasonings added, and it is salty and delicious, and is deeply loved by the locals.
It was already past the breakfast rush hour. The three of them easily found an empty table and sat down. They ordered two yuan for pot cakes and two bowls of tofu. Lin Dragonfly was already full after a set of pancakes, so she simply sat down.
Huang Shang acts as a grass protector.
"Is this pot cake and old tofu?" Qianhua looked at the thick cake and the rich tofu soup, licking her lips: "It looks delicious."
"This is also our local old taste. Break open the pot cakes and eat them soaked in old tofu." Huang Shang gave a demonstration, then pointed to the crushed chili peppers placed on the table and said: "If you like spicy food,
You can add some chopped chili. Add in appropriate amount, it will be very spicy.”
"Then I'll add a little spiciness." Qianhua could accept spiciness, but the spiciness couldn't be too high, so she added a little bit of chopped chili pepper, stirred and took a sip of the soup, her eyes lit up: "It tastes good."
This level of spiciness is just right for me, and it’s really appetizing.
Qianhua soaked the pot cakes and ate them together. It was a brand new world that made her keep saying how delicious it was.
This is a mom-and-pop shop. Knowing that Qianhua is a Japanese friend and loves their food so much, I happily gave her two tea eggs as a gift.
"Hey? Is it a gift? Thank you boss and boss lady, you are really good people." Qianhua narrowed her eyes happily.
"You're welcome, you are welcome to come often in the future."
"Hey hey hey, I'll definitely come when I have time."
Ten minutes later, Qianhua walked out of the pot cake shop with satisfaction and said, "Ah! The breakfast here is delicious, even better than ramen."
"There are many kinds of breakfast in the local area. I will take you to eat something else tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Huang Shang said.
"Yeah." Qianhua nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Brother Huang Shang."
"You're welcome."
"I have to go to school tomorrow." Lin Dragonfly said, "I have to live on campus."
"Hey?" Qianhua said: "Brother Huang Shang, isn't he a teacher? Does the teacher also have to live on campus?"
"That's not true." Huang Shangdao: "Local teachers can go home to live, but sometimes teachers work too much and don't have time to go home. The school will arrange dormitories for teachers. I have a dormitory in the school, but I can't live in it.
It all depends on your needs.”
"It turns out that teachers also have dormitories!" Qianhua said: "None of the teachers in Tokyo have dormitories. Even international students can only rent apartments outside."
"There is so much money in Tokyo, so there is nothing you can do about it." Huang Shangdao: "If you go to Capital University to study for a master's degree and a Ph.D., you will be assigned a student dormitory. If you are not used to living with others, you can also rent a house off campus. You need to tell me then.
Just give me a call and I'll help you make arrangements."
"Yeah." Qianhua nodded: "Thank you, brother Huang Shang. I'm sorry to trouble you all the time."
"We are friends, there is no need to talk about this." Huang Shang said.
"Yeah." Qianhua nodded: "Good friend."
Hmm? Is there something wrong with Qianhua’s pronunciation?
Forget it, it's not important.
"Where do you want to go next?" Huang Shang asked: "Go to the mall? Or go see the scenic spots?"
"Hmm..." Qianhua thought for a while and said, "I want to go to brother Huang Shang's school."
"School? That's fine." Huang Shang said, "School is on holiday today, so I can take you around."
"Well, I want to see the classroom where brother Huang Shang teaches, and I also want to see the dormitory." Qianhua said happily.
