The vegetarian fillings in Tianjin are very different from those in other places, so it is considered a specialty.
The filling includes boiled bean sprouts, soaked black fungus, day lily, and chopped mung bean vermicelli.
Finally, mix well with the mixed seasoning of fermented bean curd juice and sesame paste.
So the taste is very special.
Locals have been eating this dish since they were young and love it very much. If they go to other places to eat vegetarian buns, they will feel very uncomfortable.
But only a few outsiders can get used to the food.
When she was young, Madam Lu traveled all over the country. Not only had she tried cuisines from all over the country, she had also eaten a lot of Western food.
So, he was quite receptive to food he had never tasted before. After trying one, he praised it, saying, "It's really different from the vegetarian buns in Beijing. It has a unique flavor."
But Qingtian frowned as soon as he took a bite.
Why do we put fermented bean curd and sesame paste in the bun filling?
She had only scooped a spoonful of the rice crust dish into her own bowl to taste it, and if she didn't like it, she would just stop eating it.
But she had already taken a bite of the bun, so she definitely couldn't put it back.
What Qingtian couldn't stand the most was wasting food, so even though she didn't like it, she still insisted on eating the buns in small bites.
After finally finishing a bun, Qingtian breathed a sigh of relief.
She picked up the water that Zhang Yingqi had just poured for her and drank the remaining half cup.
I quickly ate a few more spoonfuls of old tofu to suppress the taste of sesame paste and fermented bean curd in my mouth.
Seeing this, Madam Lu remembered that Qingtian also disliked the rice crust dish before, and it seemed that he didn't like this way of seasoning.
So she calmly moved the vegetarian buns away from Qingtian and replaced them with fried cakes.
However, Qingtian was already very full at this time, and he couldn't eat the golden and crispy fried cakes at all.
But the little eyes still lingered on the fried cakes reluctantly.
Madam Lu asked the waiter to wrap one in oil paper and handed it to Qingtian, saying, "Take it for yourself. You can eat it when you get hungry while shopping at the market later."
Madam Lu ate another vegetarian bun and then put down her chopsticks.
Zhang Yingqi had been eating very slowly before, but when he saw that Lady Lu and Qingtian had finished their meals and put down their chopsticks, he immediately sped up and devoured the remaining food in no time.
Seeing this, Madam Lu couldn't help but ask, "Captain Zhang, are you full? Do you want anything else?"
"I'm full, I'm full." Zhang Yingqi was actually a little full, but based on the principle of not wasting food, he insisted on eating it all.
Just walk around more in the morning and it will be digested quickly.
When the three of them finished breakfast and were about to leave, Zhang Yingqi realized that Madam Lu had already paid the bill.
"Look at what's happened. I should have been the one to treat you. How could I let you pay?" Zhang Yingqi scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
"Didn't we already treat you last night?" Madam Lu said. "Martina isn't here today, so even if you take the money back, you won't be able to cancel it. So I'll do it. I can ask the Honglu Temple for the money when I get back."
As Madam Lu spoke, she solemnly asked the shopkeeper to write her a receipt.
Zhang Yingqi was relieved when he heard that he could get the reimbursement.
He had indeed been planning to treat everyone this morning, and now he gladly accepted Madam Lu's kindness.
When the three of them returned to the inn, Martina was already waiting in the lobby.
As soon as she saw Madam Lu coming back, she jumped up immediately.
"Lu, you're finally back. Let's go to the market now!"
Madam Lu translated Martina's words to Zhang Yingqi, and then said, "Madam Martina wants to buy silk the most this time.
"Captain Zhang, please take us to see the silk first. If we have time, we can go to other places later."
"No problem, I'll ask someone to prepare the car."
Several markets around Ninghe County are under the jurisdiction of Ninghe County, and Zhang Yingqi knows them very well.
He drove the carriage himself and went straight to a market that sold the most and most complete fabrics.
Although it was still early, the market was already bustling with activity. Most of the stalls were already set up, with only a few remaining empty.
Some diligent businessmen have already started to shuttle between the stalls, looking for the goods they like.
Zhang Yingqi parked the carriage outside the market, paid a few cents to the servant in charge of parking, and then walked into the market with a few people.
"Just look around here. The selection of fabrics and other items is definitely more complete than in the capital."
Zhang Yingqi then instructed Lady Lu, "Look at the items first. Once you've found them, don't be anxious and don't ask the price. Just tell me and I'll help you bargain."
What he couldn't say was that Madam Lu spoke in Beijing dialect, Martina was a Westerner, and she had a child with a well-dressed appearance.
The three of them were walking together in the market, and it looked like they had the three eye-catching words "sucker" written on their heads, and anyone who saw them would want to rip them off.
Madam Lu nodded to show that she understood, but did not translate this to Martina.
Anyway, she basically couldn't speak the official language of the Great Qi State, and no one else could understand the Western language she spoke.
Zhang Yingqi quickly brought the two to the northeast corner of the market.
Not to mention Martina, who had never seen the world, even Madam Lu opened her eyes wide in surprise.
On the contrary, Qingtian, who had visited Tianjin Market once before, became the calmest among the three.
In this area, everywhere you look, there are rolls of cloth.
Madam Lu only took a quick glance and was stunned by the scale.
There are almost all kinds of colors that you have seen and have never seen before.
The materials ranged from precious silks and brocades to coarse linen used by ordinary people.
Martina was amazed and then plunged in.
Madam Lu quickly handed Qingtian to Captain Zhang and said, "Please take care of Qingtian for me. I have to keep a close eye on Martina. It will be troublesome if she gets lost."
If it were anyone else, Madam Lu might not be too reassured.
But since Captain Zhang knew the Ye family, she had nothing to worry about.
Otherwise, it would be too difficult for her to keep up with Martina while taking care of the child.
She is not young anymore and her body can't withstand such high intensity.
Zhang Yingqi simply put Qingtian on his shoulders, using one hand to constantly separate the people blocking the way in front of him, and the other hand to hold Qingtian firmly.
Qingtian sat on Zhang Yingqi's shoulders, and her vision suddenly broadened.
Before, I could only see the legs of other people walking around, but now I can not only look directly down at their heads, but also see farther away.
"Uncle Zhang, I saw Master Lu and Lady Martina over there..." Qingtian's tone was very relaxed at first, but suddenly changed, "Oh no, they seem to be arguing with someone!"
