Chapter 48 Food Culture in Northwest China



"Why are you here?"

"Then it's over. I'll come find you."

"That's perfect. I'm discussing the renovations right now. It'll be ready soon."

After He You finished speaking, the two of them walked over together.

"Hey, who is this guy?"

Uncle Yang was quite enthusiastic. He already had an idea in his mind, but he still asked a question.

"This is my wife, this is our landlord, Mr. Yang, and these two are Mr. Xu and Master Xu, who are here to help with the renovations."

He You spoke briefly and introduced the identities of the people on both sides.

"No wonder this young man looks so energetic. You have good taste, girl."

Lu Jingming also nodded and greeted everyone.

Xu Donghai didn't know that He You was already married, and he felt a little disappointed.

"Master Xu, then let's do as you said just now, including the labor and materials.

I wonder if we can get all these things implemented within half a month?"

When talking about work, the other party concealed the gloom in his eyes and became positive again.

"Half a month is a bit rushed, but I'll do my best to finish it for you."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Afterwards, the two of them wrote a contract by hand. I have to say that he was quite professional in doing this.

The construction period, materials used, and projects involved are all written clearly.

There were two copies, and He You was very satisfied and paid a deposit of one hundred yuan in advance.

The remaining amount will need to be settled when the project is almost completed.

Once everything is completed and accepted, the balance must be settled.

He You was not a lazy person, so he agreed without hesitation.

It’s not easy for them either, so I won’t make things difficult for them.

"Okay, it's getting late. If there's nothing else to do, let's all go back and eat!"

"Okay, Uncle Yang, thank you for troubling me today."

Xu Donghai walked at the end and communicated with her for a few more words, his eyes unconsciously glancing at Lu Jingming.

“Comrade He You, you have to give me a key.

Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for the master to come over and work later."

"I had actually forgotten about this. It just so happened that Uncle Yang just gave it to me. Now I'm giving it to you."

"good!"

Everything was correct, and the two prepared to go out for dinner.

There are quite a lot of places to eat on this street.

"Youyou, what do you want to eat?"

"The last time I went there for noodles, I thought the sour soup dumplings were quite appetizing. How about we try them today?"

"good!"

Lu Jingming naturally had no objection. There were more noodles in the Northwest!

Moreover, it can be made in various ways and the taste is particularly good. Even an inconspicuous small shop on the street can make it very authentic.

They each ordered a serving of dumplings. Worried that the man wouldn't be full, they went to the side and bought a potato chip bun and a meat bun.

"I see there's a place selling cold noodles next door, but we can't eat that this time.

Next time I come, I must try it.”

"OK."

Jiangcheng also has cold noodles, but the taste should be different. Here they are filled with chili oil, which looks very appetizing.

When the weather is hot, it is basically the staple food of people here.

Every household makes it, and He You is curious. If it tastes good, he might learn how to make it himself.

Soon, the dumplings were served, steaming hot, and the sour soup was very appetizing.

The dumplings He You ordered were stuffed with pork and green onions, mixed with the soup, and were so fresh and fragrant that they stimulated his taste buds.

"Wow, this is so delicious!"

After saying that, he took another bite of the potato chip sandwich.

"Wow, this is delicious too. The hot sauce tastes amazing!"

The next second, she handed the steamed bun to the man's mouth.

“Try it!”

Lu Jingming was a little flattered, but he came to his senses in an instant and took a light bite.

“It’s delicious, fragrant and sweet.”

After receiving a satisfactory answer, she was in a good mood and stared straight at the roujiamo in the other person's hand.

Lu Jingming immediately understood and handed it over.

"Try this, it's delicious too."

He You just said that she wanted to eat potato chips, so she handed the meat to him directly.

"Wow, the skin is so crispy, it's really delicious.

Lu Jingming, I find that I seem to like this city a little bit."

"Because of the food?"

“Yes, this is delicious too.

The wisdom of the working people is indeed amazing, and these foods have been passed down for so many years.

Now it is no longer just a meal, but a culture, a food culture that represents the local people.”

The other party was also deeply touched by what she said.

Inside the base, I came into contact with all kinds of people, including locals.

They all have a special liking for the noodle culture of Northwest China.

Speaking of food, it is not just food, but a symbol and spiritual sustenance.

"It's true. Something this delicious should be made available to the public and to the world."

"Yes, things will change rapidly in the future, and everything in the country will be universal.

We can see the characteristics of Jiangcheng in Xicheng.

Then the characteristics of Xicheng will spread throughout the country."

After all, this kind of cultural integration already existed when I left in my previous life.

And diet is particularly representative.

“Well, you’re right.

Since the reform and opening up, earth-shaking changes have taken place across the country.

Nowadays, many people live away from home, so it is a very happy thing to be able to eat the delicious food of hometown in a foreign place. "

"Um!"

The more they talked, the more they got along, and she even felt that she and Lu Jingming were on the same wavelength.

I always think of the same thing at some point, maybe even expand on it, but the basic point is the same.

The two of them had dinner and then went to the department store.

The house now had many things, but she always felt like something was missing, so she bought two vases and a grandfather clock.

Although both of them have watches, it is still very convenient to have a device to check time at home.

I also bought a lot of food, including big biscuits, fried cakes, canned fruit, malted milk, White Rabbit candy, two pounds of melon seeds, five pounds of spare ribs and three large bones.

I bought some more vegetables. In addition to what I had at home, green bamboo shoots and lotus roots were also very tempting.

Lu Jingming bought the snacks specifically for her, fearing that she would be bored at home.

He You also went to Xinhua Bookstore and bought two famous books to help him pass the time.

There were newspapers for sale at the door. She bought all the newspapers from the past two weeks and wanted to go back to see if there were any special policies.

This trip was quite rewarding.

When she was about to go home, she suddenly saw two people on the street and felt a little confused.

"Strange, how did these two get together?"
