Chapter 164: Mutton Offal Soup...
"Brother Mo, is this mutton offal soup delicious?"
"Yes, I also had mutton offal soup yesterday, but I ate it from the one on the street. To be honest, the taste was not much different from what I had eaten elsewhere before. It didn't seem to have any special features."
"I went to eat at the one in front, and it was just average."
…
Mutton offal soup is a common dish in many families in Beijing.
Almost every household can make it, so if it doesn’t taste particularly good, it really won’t feel like a so-called special delicacy.
Many tourists come here just to taste some of the local specialties in Shangjing.
However, this mutton offal soup from Beijing is actually available in many places.
The cooking methods are basically the same. Therefore, after having eaten too much of the food in other places, I was a little disappointed when I tried the food in Beijing because it didn't taste particularly good.
In particular, many tourists from other places come here for the famous food in Zixu Hutong.
It is said that Zixu Hutong is where you can eat the most delicious and authentic Beijing cuisine, so Zixu Hutong has become a must-visit spot for many tourists visiting Beijing.
I saw Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi coming to Zixu Hutong early in the morning just to eat a bowl of mutton soup.
Mo Qingyan's fans feel that this mutton offal soup must be delicious.
Otherwise, why would Brother Mo come here to eat so early in the morning?
They may not trust others, but they cannot not trust Brother Mo.
After all, Brother Mo successfully stood out by relying on the special track of wasteful food.
It has become a figure comparable to top stars today.
Facing the fans' inquiries, Mo Qingyan answered honestly: "I have never eaten this mutton soup."
Then, Mo Qingyan smiled and teased, "However, this was introduced by the senior judge. His introduction should not be wrong. After all, everyone knows that among so many gourmets, the senior judge is famous for his picky taste."
When the fans heard this, they suddenly understood.
"Oh, so it was recommended by the senior judges!"
"That's definitely right."
"Yes, Judge Gao is a very picky person. If a dish gets his praise, it must taste good."
"Haha, it seems we chose the right place this time."
"To be precise, we followed the right person."
…
Listening to her fans' recognition of Gao Moqi, Mo Qingyan couldn't help but smile and leaned close to Gao Moqi's ear, asking softly, "Did you hear that, Judge Gao? These fans of mine all believe in you. I think the one you recommend won't disappoint them, right?"
If it were someone else, hearing this, they would definitely feel a lot of pressure.
But Gao Moqi didn't feel any pressure at all. Instead, he said, "The mutton offal soup here has a score of 99 points from me."
"oh?"
Upon hearing that this restaurant's mutton offal soup actually received 99 points from Gao Moqi, Mo Qingyan immediately began to take it seriously.
After all, Gao Moqi was really harsh when giving scores.
Mo Qingyan was well aware that she could get so many full marks from him.
Not only is the ingredients he uses of high quality, but the food he makes is also not available here.
Therefore, this freshness also improves the rating.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that Mo Qingyan’s cooking skills are bad.
On the contrary, in his previous world, he had learned cooking from so many famous teachers and devoted himself to learning it for so many years.
The cooking skills can't be that bad.
Therefore, Mo Qingyan’s cooking skills are definitely up to par.
It’s just that his dishes are so delicious that you can’t stop eating them.
In addition to the absolutely good ingredients, it is also because this world is a food desert.
In fact, the taste buds of many people's tongues have not yet been eroded by various delicacies and high technologies.
Food like mutton offal soup can be found everywhere in Beijing.
If the taste wasn't absolutely delicious, it wouldn't have gotten a near-full score from Gao Moqi.
Therefore, Mo Qingyan was very much looking forward to it.
Mo Qingyan and her group were so eye-catching that almost everyone who passed by would take a few glances at them.
Because Mo Qingyan participated in the recently very popular Level 3 State Banquet Chef Competition, and Mo Qingyan recently spent hundreds of millions of dollars on necklaces and bracelets.
In addition, Mo Qingyan had a delicate face that people would never forget, and he had bought the right to use the General's Mansion.
Therefore, Mo Qingyan has become extremely popular recently.
Its popularity in Shangjing is at the top level.
Therefore, many people passing by recognized Mo Qingyan.
Then, he took out his phone and took various photos of Mo Qingyan who was sitting in line at the door.
There were even fans of Mo Qingyan among the passers-by.
Then, when the fans saw Mo Qingyan queuing at the door, they also lined up at the door.
In just a short while, there were already hundreds of people queuing in front of the small shop. The store entrance was surrounded tightly.
When the couple who owned the mutton offal soup restaurant saw this situation, they immediately panicked.
They didn't expect that so many people would come in such a short time.
He immediately called and woke up his two children who were still asleep, and asked them to come to the store to help.
Mo Qingyan and Gao Moqi sat outside and waited for less than ten minutes before they got their seat.
Soon, hot and fragrant mutton offal soup was served to the two of them.
In addition to the mutton offal soup, the boss also brought two sesame cakes.
There was no coriander on the mutton offal soup, just a little chopped green onion.
There are some green chopped green onions floating on the steaming milky white soup, which looks quite nice.
Mo Qingyan picked up the spoon and took a sip of the mutton offal soup.
The mutton offal soup not only looks rich, but the taste is also as rich and fragrant as it appears.
The fishy smell of mutton offal is even stronger than that of mutton.
What's more, what they use is not the offal of snow goats.
Therefore, the fishy smell of this mutton offal soup must be very strong.
The mutton offal soup that Mo Qingyan drank also had a fishy smell.
However, the fishy smell is very light.
For ordinary people, they may not even be able to taste it.
After taking a bite, it seems that only the fragrant meaty aroma and pepper flavor spread in the throat.
As the soup went down my throat, my whole body instantly felt warm.
All the pores on my body seemed to open up at that moment.
Drinking a bowl of mutton soup in the winter is absolutely a wonderful experience.
Mo Qingyan knew it with just one sip of the soup.
This mutton offal soup does not contain anything extra except the basic ginger, scallions, onions to remove the fishy smell and some simple side dishes and seasonings.
Mo Qingyan took a few more bites of mutton offal.
Basically try every kind of mutton offal.
Finally, a conclusion was reached.
The reason why this mutton offal soup is so delicious is not only because of the fresh ingredients, but also because of the way and technique the boss handles the mutton offal.
Because this mutton offal is handled very cleanly.
To prepare mutton offal so cleanly, it is not possible to do so by simply adding various seasonings.
It really takes thought and time.
Moreover, this mutton offal soup is so fragrant and delicious.
It also takes enough time to persevere.
"How is it?" Gao Moqi asked him after seeing Mo Qingyan finish tasting it.
"It's delicious." Mo Qingyan gave a thumbs up and affirmed: "I give this soup 100 points."
Mo Qingyan felt that the mutton offal soup made with such care was worthy of a full score.
He wouldn't be as harsh as Gao Moqi.
The fans who followed Mo Qingyan in praised the mutton offal soup after tasting it.
"It's delicious. This soup is so delicious."
"This mutton offal soup is totally different from other soups. The one I went to yesterday didn't have a strong fishy smell, but it was definitely not small. But this mutton offal soup really doesn't have any fishy smell at all."
"As expected, it is recommended by the top judges. This mutton offal soup is amazing."
…
This bowl of mutton soup is actually quite filling, but for an adult man, it may not be enough.
It would be different if it is paired with the crispy sesame cake.
Pinch the sesame seed cake open and throw it into the mutton soup. Wait until the sesame seed cake is soaked in the soup before putting it into your mouth.
What a satisfying experience.
Mo Qingyan was eating happily and had completely forgotten about the mission.
Unexpectedly, the two of them started eating for a short while.
Suddenly, the boss and his wife, who were busy in front of the stove, had an argument with someone.
Mo Qingyan couldn't help but look over.
I saw a young couple standing in front of the stove, arguing with the boss and his wife.
"Boss Du, we can't do anything. I know you are our old tenants. It is a bit difficult for you to move out suddenly within a week. But we can't do anything about it!"
"As you know, we have been living abroad. If grandpa hadn't passed away, we would not have come back. Now, my grandpa is gone. We are abroad and cannot control what is happening in China. Therefore, we don't plan to rent this shop anymore. We plan to sell it. This will save us some trouble in the future."
After hearing this, the boss and his wife looked embarrassed.
"This is too sudden. We know that Uncle Jiang's death was indeed too sudden, but as you all said, we have rented this shop for 20 to 30 years. We are asked to move out suddenly. Where should we move to?"
"Yeah, it's only a week. Even if we want to move, we don't have enough time to find a store!"
The most important thing is that all the shops in Zixu Hutong are fully rented.
If they wanted to move away, they could only move out of Zixu Hutong.
If they move out of Zixu Hutong, their business will definitely be seriously affected, if not completely destroyed.
After all, the flow of people in Zixu Hutong is many times more than that outside.
Asking them to move away temporarily would be no different from digging out their flesh.
