Chapter 542: Spring is in the air
"Yan'er, this is why you like the capital."
General Yan happily swallowed the crab roe and pork tea cake in his mouth, and quickly picked up one with chopsticks and put it in the bowl.
He said that his granddaughter seemed to have changed completely after returning to the capital.
In the past, Yan Yan always felt that interpersonal relationships in Beijing were very troublesome and was reluctant to come back.
This time it was very positive.
General Yan thought about it and decided that it must be the sudden appearance of these delicacies in the capital that captured his granddaughter's heart.
He never expected that his granddaughter, who had always been arrogant since childhood, would one day be captivated by delicious food.
Yan Yan chewed the pickled mustard greens and pork tea cake happily, looking like she was enjoying the meal.
The outer skin of the tea cake is soft, flexible and fragrant, and the filling is rich.
One bite and your mouth is filled with the fragrant filling.
The pickled mustard greens have just the right amount of sourness, with a hint of barely noticeable sweetness.
The meat filling is minced hind leg meat, which is sweet and fragrant.
Just chew it and your mouth will be filled with rich fragrance.
Although it is oily, it does not make people feel greasy at all.
Yan Yan swallowed the tea cake in her mouth and smiled: "Grandfather, just tell me whether the food here is delicious or not."
Although the food in the food court is not cheap, it is cooked in novel ways and tastes excellent.
The ingredients are also carefully prepared.
Not to mention anything else, just the tea cake that Yan Yan tasted just now made her feel that the price was already very affordable.
If this thing could be stored for a long time, she would really like to buy some and stockpile it, and then take it back to the southwest.
When Yan Yan thought that she would not be able to eat such delicious food after leaving the capital, she couldn't help but shed tears in her heart.
Why didn't Chen Huazheng and the others think about expanding their business outside the capital? ?
No, they are already expanding, and have expanded to the northwest.
Yan Yan knew that when Shen Huazheng went on a business trip to the northwest, Zhou Ying and Princess Lejia also went with him.
They just went to investigate the market.
Wow, why not Southwest?
Is it that the Southwest is not worthy? ?
Is it because she is not worthy? ?
No, she had to find a time to talk to Shen Huazheng and the other two.
Since we can expand our business to the northwest, we can definitely expand to the southwest as well.
The more Yan Yan thought about it, the more she felt it made sense, and she made up her mind to persuade Shen Huazheng and the other two to open a store in the southwest border.
If we just wait, we don't know when they will think of going to the southwest to do business.
Happiness is something you have to fight for yourself, so she has to take the initiative.
Even if I can't open a restaurant there, it would be nice to open a dim sum shop.
Although it’s still a bit lacking to just open a dim sum shop, at least it can satisfy my cravings.
Take it step by step and let Shen Huazheng and the others open a small shop there first.
Then open a restaurant, and finally a hotel.
In this way, even if she returns to the southwest, she won't have to envy the people in the capital.
Simply perfect!!
Hehehe~~~~
General Yan was slightly stunned when he heard this, but soon he burst into laughter.
"Delicious, the food here is really delicious. Yan'er really has good taste, and grandpa likes it too. Hahahaha!!!"
Apart from anything else, this tea cake alone is delicious.
General Yan doesn't like sweets very much, nor does he like snacks made from glutinous rice.
He doesn't like soft, sticky things. They make your throat choke and some of them stick to your teeth.
But after tasting the tea cake today, this idea in his mind was overturned.
I didn’t expect that desserts made from glutinous rice could be so delicious.
Although tea cake is also made of glutinous rice, it does not feel soft and does not melt in your mouth like mud.
Although it is soft and sticky, it is not sticky at all.
It is glutinous yet slightly elastic and chewy.
Although tea cakes can be sweet or salty, General Yan prefers the ones with salty fillings.
General Yan likes all the tea cakes, whether they are stuffed with crab roe and fresh meat, pickled mustard greens and fresh meat, salted black bean filling or mushroom and fresh meat.
His favorite is the one with crab roe and fresh meat filling.
The tea cake skin is of just the right thickness, and the filling inside is full and juicy.
As soon as you take a bite, the soup mixed with crab roe overflows all at once, and a wonderfully fresh taste instantly fills your lips and tongue.
It was the first time that General Yan felt spiritually touched by food.
It was a very complex feeling, with surprise, satisfaction, and a subtle sense of happiness...
Anyway, he liked it very much.
Although they came to participate in the spring food event, after arriving at the food street, General Yan and his companions still strolled around casually.
Here, General Yan saw many foods that he had never thought of before.
For example, this bowl of mulberry and lily porridge in front of me...
Before today, General Yan would never have thought of such a combination.
In the past, he only knew that lilies could be used to cook porridge.
But why are there mulberries? ?
Aren’t mulberries a fruit?
How can it be cooked together with lily to make porridge?
It looks weird, and it must taste weird too.
Who would have thought that just after taking a bite, General Yan was slapped in the face again.
It turns out that mulberries can really be cooked in porridge, and it turns out that mulberries and lilies go so well together.
Old Madam Yan ate the mulberry and lily porridge in her bowl while looking at the grandfather and grandson with a smile.
Seeing that the porridge in Yan Yan's bowl was still untouched, Old Lady Yan said in a gentle voice: "Yan'er, you should also try this mulberry and lily porridge. I ordered it specially. It is said to be able to moisturize and soothe the mind, and also help with sleep. It is just right to eat at this time of year."
Yan Yan was named general, and Old Lady Yan was as proud as the rest of the Yan family.
But deep down, she still feels sorry for her granddaughter.
Old Madam Yan came from a military family and had been married to General Yan for many years, so she naturally understood the hardships of life guarding the border.
Although the title of the first female general of Daliang may seem impressive, it was earned by her granddaughter at the cost of her life on the battlefield.
If possible, she would rather her granddaughter not become a general and stay at home with her.
Even if you don't get married, it's still okay.
But Old Lady Yan knew that her granddaughter, as a member of the Yan family, had been taught from a young age to defend her country like her ancestors had done.
Now she only hopes that her granddaughter can escape unscathed every time she goes to the battlefield.
There is no need to achieve any military exploits, as long as you live in peace and safety.
Yan Yan responded obediently, then picked up the spoon and started eating the porridge in the bowl.
She scooped up a spoonful of porridge and put it into her mouth.
The mulberries and lilies were cooked soft and sticky, and they were especially delicious.
Yan Yan looked at the various diners outside the window, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but rise.
Now that spring is in full swing, it feels great to go out with family, go shopping, and try some delicious food.
No wonder our ancestors left behind the custom of spring outings, and no wonder the food street is launching such a spring eating event.
Only when you are in it, will you discover that the plants and trees also have their own unique romance.
