Chapter 186 Where fireworks rise, happiness blooms
The spicy rabbit head has delicate and chewy meat, and the spicy and fragrant taste is really enjoyable.
The brain flower is as tender as tofu and melts in your mouth, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.
It is spicy but not dry, fragrant but not greasy, and leaves a lingering fragrance in your mouth after eating.
Wei Zeyuan praised while eating: "It's delicious. This spicy rabbit head is really delicious."
Wei Ran nodded: "I thought it was a bit weird at first, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious!"
My brother is really good at choosing places. It turned out that we were right not to go anywhere else.
Wei Yu just smiled and said nothing.
The moment he looked up, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the people at the next table.
He was a young man, and judging by his clothes, he was not an ordinary citizen.
He came alone to eat spicy rabbit head, but the portion on the table was more than what Wei Yu's family ordered.
The man's eyes became red as he ate the spicy rabbit head.
Wei Yu quickly lowered his eyes and continued to eat the rabbit head in his bowl.
The food street's brochure is carefully made, clearly describing the food and characteristics of each area.
At least judging from the pictures and introductions in the brochure, there are more kinds of food in other areas, and the scenery in other places is more attractive than here.
When I came to the food street, I didn’t go anywhere else, but chose to come to “Xinsheng”.
Either they are very curious, or they have something or someone in their heart that they can't get over.
But judging from the young man's performance, he should be the latter.
Wei Yu swallowed the rabbit meat in his mouth and sighed slightly in his heart.
Can “new life” really give people a new life?
Each of them ate several spicy rabbit heads and legs in a row, and asked the store owner to pack up some and stamp them with their own stamp. Only then did they walk out with a feeling of being unsatisfied.
…
The Shen and Zhou families had lunch together and then separated.
Zhou Ying took the Zhou family to drink sweet soup, while Shen Huazheng took the Shen family to eat beef offal.
The offal includes beef brisket, beef intestines, beef cartilage, beef tendons, burdock, beef heart, beef tripe...
White radish is the best partner for beef offal.
The beef tendons are chewy, the beef brisket is soft and tasty, the burdock is tough, the beef intestines are crisp and delicious, and the beef heart is thick and chewy...
There is also the white radish that is stewed to be very tasty, sweet and delicious.
Different parts have different tastes, forming a perfect symphony between the lips and teeth. Coupled with the special marinade, the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes. Every bite is extremely satisfying, and every bite brings surprises to the taste buds.
Shen Keheng couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the whole body of the cow is really a treasure, even the offal is so delicious."
Beef hotpot is delicious, and the various drinks and foods made from milk are also delicious.
Now that he had tasted the beef offal, Shen Keheng felt that he would never be able to forget its taste.
Shen Huazheng smiled and said, “I also like to eat beef offal.”
In modern times, every time she goes shopping with friends, she goes to her favorite store to buy some beef offal and eats it while shopping.
The beef offal sold in the food court is served in small bowls and sold in small portions.
It can satisfy your craving without taking up too much space in your stomach.
The other members of the Shen family also agreed with the two's opinion. The unique rich meaty aroma in the beef offal was very strong. After chewing it for a while, they were reluctant to swallow it.
After Chen Keting finished eating the beef offal, he took out the booklet and opened one of the pages.
"Zheng'er, why is this place so strange? There are several different areas: sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy?"
Shen Huazheng looked at the booklet, and the place Shen Keting was talking about was "New Life".
“Sweet, sour, bitter and spicy are the flavors of food and life.”
"I think the various experiences in life are like the various flavors of food. Only when you have tasted all the ups and downs of life can you say that you have seen all the different aspects of life. Only when you have seen through it can you let it go and have the possibility of a new life."
French writer Proust once said: Happy years are lost years.
But Chen Huazheng always felt that food could help everyone find and relive those beautiful memories lost in time.
Every taste of “sour, sweet, bitter and spicy” has its necessity. As for sour and sweet, they can relieve the spleen and stomach, soothe the stomach and people’s hearts.
Then bitterness and spiciness, especially spicy and hot, play a stimulating role.
Perhaps for those who are sad, there comes a moment when spicy is not a taste but a pain.
When a person is lifeless and has no desire to live, he needs pain to seek a sense of existence.
A restless heart needs food to soothe it, while a stagnant heart needs food to activate it.
Chen Huazheng took a sip of bubble tea: "Actually, when I designed this area, I didn't think too much about it. I just thought that those who are sad, frustrated or confused may have some different feelings after trying the food here."
The mixed feelings in our hearts are often difficult to confide and we don’t know how to express them.
Perhaps the food in "New Life" can give them an outlet to vent their emotions.
Shen Keting was stunned for a moment, then smiled and touched Shen Huazheng's head.
“You’ve done very well.”
…
Wei Yu scooped up a spoonful of pig blood porridge with a spoon, blew on it, and put it into his mouth.
The pig blood has a delicate and tender texture, it breaks when you bite it, and it is so tender that it is unimaginable.
When you chew it, you can feel the elasticity and toughness of the pig blood.
The porridge base has a thick texture, a delicious and smooth taste, and no fishy smell.
The two sing in harmony and match each other perfectly.
The three of them toured "New Life" from beginning to end and tasted most of the food there.
This place is different from other places. The locations of these restaurants are arranged according to the taste of the food inside.
There are sour soup rice noodles, sour soup beef pot, various desserts, tangerine peel duck, bitter melon pot, bitter melon cake, cold bitter melon, spicy rabbit head, spicy hot pot, skewers, oden, various porridge and soups...
It's just sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty.
After eating these delicacies, it seems like I have tasted all the ups and downs of life.
It’s just that the ups and downs here are all warm.
Wei Yu ate several pieces of pig blood and drank a few mouthfuls of porridge. His stomach instantly warmed up and his whole body relaxed.
He looked at Wei Ran and Wei Zeyuan who were sitting beside him and eating porridge quietly, and felt warm in his heart.
Wei Yu likes this feeling, the feeling of being with his family.
Just like now, no words are needed. As long as everyone stays together quietly and has a meal, they will feel comfortable and at ease.
Whenever this happened, there was always a warm and familiar feeling lingering in his heart, making him feel fulfilled and at peace.
Where fireworks rise, happiness blooms.
That's what I'm talking about.
Wei Yu suddenly asked, "Did Tai Ming tell us where he will meet us?"
Wei Zeduo did not come to the food street with them, but he would go back with them.
Wei Zeyuan: "In the souvenir area in the south, he said there are many cakes and candied fruits for sale. We can just go there and buy some to take home."
Wei Yu nodded: "This arrangement is not bad. Anyway, we have almost finished shopping here, so let's go shopping somewhere else while it's still early."
Wei Zeyuan's eyes widened: "Really?"
He thought he would have to stay here all day and wouldn't be able to go anywhere else to eat.
Wei Yu: "Of course, when has my uncle ever lied to you?"
Wei Zeyuan was overjoyed: "Okay, then we will go to the east in a while. There are many foods there that I haven't tasted yet."
Wei Ran also took out a pamphlet: "And here, here, and here. We'll go take a look later."
Wei Yu smiled: "Okay, okay, let's all go. Whatever you like will be charged to my account."
"Really, uncle? Then I have to go to a few more places."
"You little brat, there are so many stores you want to visit, and they will all be closed after you finish shopping here. You can only choose three."
"Dad, why don't you let me choose four."
"two."
"Three, I'll choose three!!"
…
In the Palace
The prince looked at the food box in front of him, feeling dazed for a moment.
Could it be that he hasn't woken up yet and is still dreaming?
The prince reached out his hand and pinched his face hard.
"Hiss~~It hurts~~"
He rubbed his face in annoyance and could feel the pain, so this was not a dream.
But it's not the New Year yet, so why would his father, mother, and grandmother suddenly send him all kinds of delicious food?
It was delivered for two consecutive days.
Yesterday's delivery was pork pie, and today's delivery should also be something like cakes and pastries.
Although the palace servant who delivered the gifts had already said that his father and others felt sorry for him because he had studied too hard today and had lost weight, so they sent some snacks over.
But the prince knows his own affairs best.
Although he studied hard today, he didn't study "too hard" and he didn't lose weight.
When something is abnormal, there must be something fishy.
But what is so strange?
The prince thought about it and opened the first food box.
As soon as the food box was opened, an enticing aroma wafted into the air, and the prince was instantly attracted by the salty pancakes inside.
The salty pancake is golden in color, crispy on the edges, and slightly concave in the center, making it look like a felt hat. It is dotted with black sesame seeds, which looks very interesting.
The prince looked at the delicious-looking salty pancakes and immediately forgot about anything strange or not.
He picked up a salty pancake and ate it happily.
The salty pancakes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a pleasant aroma.
When you take a bite, it tastes salty at first, but slowly a slight sweetness emerges, with a hint of sweetness and the sweet aroma of fermented bean curd sauce.
I don’t know if it has something to do with the shape of the salty pancake, but the middle of the pancake tastes crispy and thin, while the surrounding texture is soft with a slight toughness.
Chewing it carefully, the black sesame seeds dotted on it bring the crispness of the cake to a new level. After chewing it into pieces, the tip of the tongue can feel the second crispy fragrance, and the mouth is full of rich fragrance.
It's really delicious.
After taking a bite, he couldn't stop eating. The prince kept eating one bite after another, and the delicious taste lingered in his mouth after finishing it.
After eating two salty pancakes in a row, the prince picked up the tea beside him and drank it all, then opened the second food box.
The second food box contained a richer variety of food, including the candied winter melon and shusha that Xiao Jingran had given him to taste before.
Sugar-coated winter melon is in the shape of strips, and it is said that it has a nice name called diced melon.
The crystal white is tinged with a hint of tender green, which reminds people of a clear spring under the shade of trees in summer, with a kind of beauty that penetrates the heart.
In the past, when Xiao Jingran told the prince that this was made of winter melon, he didn't believe it.
Winter melon has no taste at all and looks so ordinary.
After being made into candied winter melon, it is sweet and cute.
Shusha is peanuts coated with a layer of sugar. Since this layer of sugar coating looks like snow sand and tightly binds the peanuts inside, it is named Shusha.
Each grain of sand is round and full, like pearls and jade.
The outer layer of sugar coating is evenly thick and white as snow, and looks like bright white pearls.
The prince has finished his homework for the day, and now it is time for afternoon snack.
He knew that Emperor Jingning had these foods delivered to him at this time specifically to serve as snacks with tea.
It turns out that he is the one that his father, mother, and grandmother love the most! !
The prince felt warm in his heart, and immediately asked someone to make a pot of good tea, intending to drink tea while eating these sweet and delicious snacks.
The sugar-coated winter melon is covered with a layer of fine sugar sand, which tastes sweet and refreshing and melts when chewed.
The fragrant peanut kernels are wrapped in the sugar shell of Shusha, which tastes crispy but not loose, and has a sweet and crispy fragrance.
The prince took a sip of tea and a bite of candied winter melon or shusha, feeling very comfortable.
While eating these snacks, even the tea I used to drink seemed to have a little more sweetness.
No wonder the book says "Steal a little time of leisure from your busy life, and the enjoyment of life will be found in the simple joy."
The ancients did not deceive me.
The prince took a sip of tea happily, feeling a little regretful.
On such a beautiful afternoon, it would be appropriate to invite a few close friends to have tea and snacks together and enjoy the peaceful time.
Su Yongze and A'ran are not in the palace today, otherwise they could be invited together.
Alas, what a pity, what a pity.
Hehehe~~~
The next day, Xiao Jingran came to the palace and ran over happily when he saw the prince.
"Brother Prince, let me show you something."
The prince was in a good mood and his voice was gentle.
"What do you want to show me?"
Xiao Jingran took out a booklet with a smile and handed it over like he was offering a treasure.
"Brother Prince, look, these are the stamps I collected at the Food Court. Each one has a different pattern. They are so pretty."
Food court?
The prince took the booklet from Xiao Jingran and began to read it.
As soon as he opened the first page, he could tell that this was the food court of Lady Yinghua.
Is the food court open for business?
Didn't they say that the whole street was going to be renovated and rebuilt? How come it was completed so quickly?
The further he flipped through the pages, the colder the prince's heart became. He thought of the strange things that he had not been able to figure out in the past two days.
Could it be that his father, mother, and grandmother secretly went to the food court without telling him? ?
As soon as this idea came out, the prince himself rejected it.
It's possible for the Empress Dowager, but how could my father and mother leave the palace so easily?
Suddenly, the prince stopped turning the pages, his eyes widened, and he looked incredulous.
"Brother Prince, why did you stop?"
Xiao Jingran leaned over to take a look and found that the prince was staring at the snacks in the souvenir area.
"Brother Crown Prince, you also think these snacks are exquisite, right? Father bought me a lot, including candied winter melon, candied lotus root, candied lotus seeds, shusha, fermented bean curd cakes, chicken cakes, wife cakes..."
The prince couldn't hear a word Xiao Jingran said.
His heart was broken once again.
His father, mother, and grandmother went out to eat delicious food behind his back again, and they went to the food court!!
Not only did they not take him out of the palace, they were even unwilling to buy him all the snacks in the souvenir section and only brought back a few of them for him.
No, it is also possible that this was not brought back.
They eat the leftovers.
Woo woo woo~~~~
