The main reason is that people in Northwest China have a relatively strong palate, so the seasonings in their soups are quite heavy, and some are even extremely salty.
Comparatively speaking, people in the south tend to prefer lighter and simpler dishes, and some might vomit after trying this soup for the first time.
I thought it wasn't done well.
But actually, this is what mutton soup tastes like.
Similarly, the reason why those very famous ramen shops can sell all over the country is because they are good at adapting the flavors to different places. If they were to follow the original flavor of Lancheng, they wouldn't have much business either.
Ultimately, people's eating habits are related to local culture and climate.
For example, people in Northeast China like to stew food because it's too cold. If you stir-fry dishes one by one, the earlier ones will be cold by the time the later ones are ready.
The southwestern provinces enjoy eating chili peppers because the climate is relatively humid, and eating chili peppers can help remove some of the dampness. Meanwhile, the eastern provinces prefer milder flavors, which is also related to the consistently high temperatures in the region.
The mutton soup in Qingcheng generally tastes similar to that of Shaanxi, and is also mainly characterized by strong flavors.
The flatbread is a golden-brown baked flatbread. You break it up and put it inside, then eat it with garlic—the flavor is indescribably delicious.
Wang Tianxiao's childhood dream was to be able to eat a bowl of mutton soup.
Unfortunately, he had never eaten mutton soup in his previous life. He watched as the price of mutton soup went from a few cents to tens of yuan, but he could never bring himself to spend the money.
When the child finally grew up, he was no longer able to eat mutton due to health reasons.
This is a pity.
He sometimes lamented that people should do what they are supposed to do when the time comes, and never think about what to do later or wait until everything is ready before doing anything.
Perhaps by then, we will be well prepared, but the things we possess or do will no longer be desires, goals, or ideals; they will simply be irrelevant.
People's thoughts and goals differ greatly at different ages.
The two sat down in a corner and each ordered a bowl of mutton soup. Wang Tianxiao even specifically asked for extra mutton.
He was in a particularly good mood today seeing how difficult it was for rice and grain.
It's a bit unethical.
But... it's just so cool.
That guy at the power station broke his promise and changed his mind about what he said he would do. He'll have to be taught a lesson.
Anyway, this project of bringing electricity to the countryside is not only being carried out by Qingquan Town. Different power supply stations are doing this, so they are probably in competition with each other. If Qingquan Town is slow, other towns will be faster.
At that point, Station Chief Li will be at a disadvantage.
He said that others didn't want to build power lines, but that reason is clearly untenable. If the leader just asks, "Why can others do it, but not you?", then all his options will be blocked.
These public figures value these things highly. Doing these things well translates into achievements, while doing them poorly can have a negative impact.
If you don't advance, you fall behind.
Wang Tianxiao wants to get along well with everyone, but he won't allow it to put him in a passive position.
"Brother Mi, don't worry. As the saying goes, there's always a way out. There must be something going on behind the scenes. We just don't know the details yet. Go find the person in charge of the power station this afternoon, and you'll understand."
"I hope so, I think so too."
"Did you mention last time that your village specializes in making tofu?"
"Well, actually, it was an accident that it developed to this point. There happened to be a family in our village where the brothers all made tofu. Through observation, I found that their tofu tasted very good and had a good texture. It was very popular with people in the surrounding towns and villages. So I discussed with them about industrializing this good craft and having everyone in the village make it. After two years of development, our Mijia Village's tofu has become famous far and wide."
"It seems to be quite famous. I've noticed that other tofu shops on the street aren't selling very well, but the tofu from your Mijia Village is always in high demand."
"That's right." Mi Liang was satisfied with this point and didn't try to be too modest. "Now our village's tofu is our signature product, and the villagers have gotten used to eating it."
“That’s good,” Wang Tianxiao nodded, then thought for a moment and said, “But has Brother Mi thought about continuing to develop this business? Tofu can only be transported a limited distance, and the nearby market will soon be saturated. What will you do then?”
"Well, I'm considering that too."
Mi Liang glanced at Wang Tianxiao in surprise, probably not expecting that Wang Tianxiao could say something so forward-thinking.
He always considered himself a cultured person, with ideas and views that were far superior to those of ordinary people. He also had a vague impression of Wang Tianxiao, thinking that he was just a lively young man.
So he was slightly surprised to hear Wang Tianxiao ask that question.
However, he continued sincerely, "My current idea is to deliver the tofu to nearby counties or cities as much as possible. For example, our Qingcheng city, and neighboring Chi County, Ning County, and so on. I believe these counties can consume our production."
"That works too, not bad."
Wang Tianxiao smiled slightly, nodded gently, and began to eat the paomo (pita bread soaked in mutton soup).
His actions, however, seemed to have a hidden meaning to Mi Liang; it appeared that Wang Tianxiao wanted to say something but didn't.
"Xiao Wang, do you perhaps have a better idea?"
"No, what Brother Mi said makes a good point. By shipping the tofu to various counties, we can basically use up all the stock. Your village probably only has four or five thousand people. It's a small village. Even if every household makes tofu, the output probably won't be much."
