Chapter 14: Advanced (18)

Walking into the grain and oil store, before the guy smiled and asked where the customer came from, Mo Yongcun, the younger brother of Mo Yongcun, rushed out of the counter like a whirlwind: "Brother Fu! ”

"Hehe, fifth brother, yes, it's very much like the boss." Mo Di handed the backpack in his hand to Mo Yongcun, then took the backpack from Zhou Shiming's hand and stuffed it to the guy standing aside.

"Brother Fu, this is the third sister-in-law, right?" Mo Di ranks third, there are eldest brothers and two sisters above, and four sisters and five brothers below, although the younger brothers and sisters call themselves Brother Fu, they dare not call their sisters-in-law.

"Yes, it's your third sister-in-law." He also said to Zhou Shiming: "This is the fifth brother who will live forever, you can call him eternal, you can also call him the fifth brother, or you can call the fifth brother like me." Except for his parents, everyone in the family calls him the fifth child. Now it's out and mixed. I don't know what to call him on the rivers and lakes, whether it's Boss Mo or Boss Five. ”

"Hehe, it's the fifth boss." Mo Yongcun smiled and said, "The third sister-in-law has worked hard. ”

While letting the Mo Rival couple go to the shop, he asked his partner to go outside to buy a roast chicken. Mo Di knew that the two of them arrived suddenly, and there should be no preparation at home, so he hurriedly stopped Mo Lao Wu and told him that he had been gluttonous with the taste of Guilin rice noodles, and the third sister-in-law was also asking how delicious Guilin rice noodles were all the way, so it was better to eat a meal of Guilin rice noodles, and then walk Taiping Road and Xuefu Road, and come back, just when the store was closed, and then make arrangements.

Mo Lao Wuyi was right when he heard it, and took advantage of this time to go back and prepare the residence of the third brother and his wife first, so as not to wait for a while to walk over and make a mess.

Leaving one person to guard the store in the store, Mo Lao Wu took the others to the back of the house and told the guy who was guarding the store that when the third boss came back, he would take him to the small courtyard of Doumu Lane.

Go out to the left, but a few dozen steps, and then turn left into Taiping Lane, a shop in the alley is the famous Huixian Zhai in the Guilin rice noodle shop. Guilin is famous for rice noodles, the fried noodles of Xuanrong Zhai, the marinated noodles of Huixian Zhai, and the soup noodles of Yi Rong Zhai, each with its own unique skills. Generally speaking, soup powder is suitable for breakfast, fried powder is more suitable for dinner, only marinated powder, can be large or small, can satisfy hunger and eliminate the mouth, every day from morning to evening.

Walking into the rice noodle shop, a strong smell of spices and marinade came to his face, which made Mo Di take two deep breaths, and said to Zhou Shiming without holding back his desire: "I haven't eaten yet, I have smelled it first." Zhou Shiming frowned a little, this fragrance is too strong, if eating rice noodles becomes eating spices, I am afraid that it will be noisy.

Soon, two bowls of braised noodles were served, Guilin rice noodles were the fastest to be powdered, a handful of round noodles the size of a fist were thrown into a colander made of bamboo, scalded in boiling water, and then shaken off the water in the colander, and poured the rice noodles into a large porcelain bowl with a wide mouth. This kind of porcelain bowl, it seems that the mouth of the bowl is very large, but it is not deep, and the wall of the bowl is pointed and straight, and it can't hold too much. Pour in the best soybean oil, a spoonful of fragrant brine, cut like tissue paper-like braised beef, spread a layer on the rice noodles, and then sprinkle a few green onions, a few crispy soybeans, a few fine oil chili peppers, a few capers cut into the size of soybeans, don't eat it first, just with this colorful color, it will make people's appetite move and appetite.

Seeing Mo Di pick up the chopsticks and mix the noodles in the bowl well, the color of the brine stained all the vermicelli into a faint brown, so he picked up the rice noodles and sent them to his mouth, the rice noodles were stained with green onions, pepper grains, and wrapped with capers, soybeans and braised beef, and he sent it down in one bite, and the satisfaction from the heart suddenly appeared on his face.

"Don't you need some soup?" Zhou Shiming looked at the rice noodles in front of him that were a bit dry like hot dry noodles, remembered the rice noodles eaten in Jiangxi Hunan, and asked, "Shouldn't rice noodles be eaten with soup and water?" ”

"The marinade powder is different, you must let the marinade stick to the powder, the powder has a taste, and as soon as you add water, the fragrance of the marinade powder is diluted." Mo Di stretched out his chopsticks and stirred up the rice noodles in front of Zhou Shiming, and soon, Zhou Shiming's rice noodles became a mess like Mo Di's. Zhou Shiming took a bite in disbelief, and the light in his eyes suddenly became completely different, not an ordinary incense, but an unprecedented incense. Take another big bite, mixed with beef and soybeans, the crispy soybeans, the sweetness of beef, the fragrance of rice noodles, and of course, the faint taste of Guilin chili.

"The marinade of rice noodles is also the original juice of braised beef, and the harmony of beef flavor and spices is the first step to the success of braised beef. Our Guangxi is rich in spices, star anise, cinnamon, tangerine peel, tempeh, ginger and so on, so after entering Guangxi, rice noodles will naturally have their own differences. Mo Di sandwiched a little bit of capers and said to Zhou Shiming: "I have only seen this kind of solid long beans in Guilin, crispy and sweet, not hard." It's not like the beans in other places, it's soft, like a trouser strap that has been used for ten or eight years. ”

Under Mo Di's introduction, Zhou Shiming began to feel that the taste of the bowl of braised noodles in front of her was becoming more and more delicious, and when she finished eating the last bite, Mo Di picked up the bowl, went to the kitchen door to add a spoonful of fresh soup, and said to Zhou Shiming: "The old rule of braised noodles is to eat rice noodles first and then drink soup." ”

Zhou Shiming took a shallow sip, this soup tastes very fresh, obviously has the taste of chicken, and the taste of beef bones, the soup is light, no salt is added, but it is mixed with the lo-mei remaining at the bottom of the bowl, and the taste is highly integrated and just right. I drank all the soup in the bowl one by one, and I was full. Zhou Shiming stood up and said to Mo Di with a satisfied face: "The first time I ate, I drank all the dishwashing water, this way of eating is really economical and not wasteful." ”

Mo Di also stood up, took Zhou Shiming's hand, walked out of Huixian Zhai, and walked towards Xuefu Road, eating too much, and taking a walk to eliminate food.

Mo Di told his wife that Guilin rice noodles were first spread from the rice producing areas in the east of the two lakes and Jiangdong, and should be a kind of halal food, or rather, it was introduced to Guangxi by some * people, because in the original Guilin rice noodles, there is no pork ingredient, and all the pork ingredients that have been added are later developed and evolved. Guilin's time-honored rice noodle shop, Huixian Zhai's braised noodles must have no pork, in addition, it is Youyixuan's horse meat rice noodles, which are mainly horse meat, and will not be contaminated with pork. There are two kinds of soup powder in Yi Rong Zhai, one is beef powder, and the other is pork powder, the beef is boiled, sweet and delicious. Pork soup powder is not very particular, pork boiled soybeans boiled on a large pot, after blanching the rice noodles, even the soup with a large spoonful of pork soybeans mixed into the powder, also has a unique flavor. As for the fried noodles of Xuan Rong Zhai, they must be pork fried noodles and beef fried noodles, which are too chai and not delicious.

"Horse meat rice noodles?" Zhou Shiming's face yearned: "I want to eat." ”

"Okay!" Mo Di replied very simply: "We walked along the Old School Palace to Zhongshan North Road, then entered Xihua Gate, went around to Zhengyang Gate, and then walked Zhongzheng West Road to Cross Street, and Yixuan was next to Zijin Cinema." We're going to eat now, and it should be okay to eat five bowls for one person. ”

"Eat five bowls!" Zhou Shiming exclaimed, one bowl just now was already very full, and if he came to five bowls, his belly would burst.

Mo Di smiled, pointed to the old wall opposite the T-shaped intersection of Taiping Lane and Xuefu Road, and said: "Here, it is the Guilin Mansion Xue Palace, where the college examination of Guangnan West Road was held, and now it is Guilin National Middle School, which can be regarded as a counterpart inheritance." ”

Zhou Shiming nodded, Tongcheng is a county, and there is also a test site, and it is a test site for the district and county test, which is next to the Confucian Temple, which is two levels worse than here. Tongcheng, although the imperial examination has been gone for a long time, but the influence of the imperial examination is still there, Zhou Shiming as a woman, although there is no qualification for the imperial examination, but looking at the palace, the admiration is still strong.

Walk out of Xuefu Road, face the Jingjiang Wangcheng at night, there was once the base camp of the Northern Expedition, in 1936 the Guangxi Provincial Government moved from Nanning to Guilin, Wangcheng became the new provincial capital, but the lights of the provincial government can not shine on the list and the first, from the intersection of Xuefu Road, there is no street lamp in the Xihua Gate of Wangcheng, the black door hole is like a big mouth to eat people, and there are no pedestrians in and out for half a day. Seeing this, Mo Di did not dare to enter without permission, but walked directly to the cross street along Zhongshan North Road.

The cross street at night is even more lively, the roadside arcade pillars are hung with bright street lamps, and the top of the street lamps is dazzling neon lights, and the neon lights are not colorful, but through light or dark, attract people's attention, let everyone see the big signboard. Xinxin Photo Museum, National Pharmacy, Li Ji Hardware Knife Scissors, Chen Ji Southwest Business ..... The crowd of people coming and going, some walking, some riding foreign cars, some riding bicycles, and occasionally cars passing by, the lights are so bright that people can't open their eyes. Passers-by do not avoid cars, and most of them turn sideways to let cars pass when they come to their side.

At this time, a car flew from north to south towards the cross street, and someone was heard shouting, "Give way." "This must be an official car, but it's a military car, because on both sides of the cab of the car, there is a guy who can't tell whether he is wearing civilian clothes or military uniform, and he only sees a gun dancing in his hand, and he hears them shouting and scolding, so that people can get out of the way quickly. was hit by a military vehicle and died in vain, and Mo Di hurriedly pulled Zhou Shiming to the side. Maybe it was specifically against this car, but the Zijin Cinema was just after the movie ended, and hundreds of people poured out at once, squeezing the cross street. I only heard the car honking wildly, and the voices of the people standing on both sides were hoarse, but no one gave way.

Mo Die was in a hurry for this official car, stretched out his head to look at it a few more times, and then turned around, shocked, Zhou Shiming was gone, and hurriedly looked around, only to see Zhou Shiming was fascinated by a small stall rolling cigarettes.

A small box, put some tobacco in the middle of the card gap, and put a rectangular cigarette paper below, the side of the paper was swept with paste, only to see the old lady operating the small box gently pushed, and a cigarette rolled down in the dustpan in front of the small box. Use small scissors to cut both ends together, and stack one finished cigarette on the other end.

Mo Di breathed a sigh of relief and held Zhou Shiming's hand tightly, Guilin is not Tongcheng, there are many people and miscellaneous, and if you are a newcomer, you may really get lost. Zhou Shiming looked at enough in front of the magic cigarette machine, and finally figured out the principle, and said to Mo Di: "Brother Fu, let's buy a few of these small boxes and go back to Tongcheng, and sell cigarettes in our small shop, it may be very business!" ”

Mo Di wanted to tell her that Tongcheng does not produce tobacco leaves, and if she wants to get this thing, she has to buy tobacco leaves, but she is afraid that it will be more troublesome.

The crowd of moviegoers dispersed, walked past the Zijin Cinema, and saw a large advertisement with the title of the movie, "Home", produced by the American company China United Pictures, the original Ba Jin. Zhou Shiming said disdainfully: "We watched this film in Nanjing last year!" Guilin is only being released now, which is really slow enough. ”

is dumbfounded, how many films can be produced in a movie, and it can be Guilin's turn in half a year, which can be regarded as quite fast. didn't tell Zhou Shiming in detail, but pulled her and walked into Youyixuan next to her.

Looking at the small bowl that was not much bigger than a teacup, Zhou Shiming smiled, this kind of weight, five bowls, can really be eaten.
