Chapter 115 Oh, Dad

The next morning, I got up early and went to the morning market.

As soon as the day breaks, the morning market in the northeast is bustling with activity. Looking around, the stalls are lined up like dumplings, from one end to the other, packed with people.

There are stalls selling frozen goods, sticky bean curd, and big steamed buns, which are so dazzling. You don't have to start from the first stall on the right, walk to the end of the street, and then turn back to look at the other side.

As soon as Yanyan walked in, she was stunned when she saw the vendors selling candied haws. There are many varieties of candied haws here. There are candied haws made with hawthorn, strawberry, yam, and candied haws made with various fruits.

We bought a bunch of each and shared them among the four of us. This was the season for strawberries, which were full and bright red. The sugar coating on the strawberries was thin and translucent. The strawberries were very sweet, and you could feel the sweetness of the fruit itself as soon as you ate them, unlike some fruits that were made sweet by adding sugar water.

The most amazing thing is the yam bean candied haws. A bunch of yam beans are round and plump, and arranged closely. The yam beans have a soft, glutinous and delicate texture, with a light fragrance, not greasy, and just the right amount of sweetness to neutralize the sugar. The more you chew, the more delicious it is.

While eating candied haws, we came to a stall selling big buns. Xie Luoshu had been amazed by the big buns he had eaten at Lele's grandmother's house before. The buns were thin in skin and big in filling, and they were oily but not greasy.

The big buns here are a bit unexpected, such as braised pork ribs buns, pork and shrimp buns, beef buns... Open the steamer, each one is juicy and the aroma goes straight to the top of your head.

The key is the cheap price, only three yuan per piece on average, this amount, this stuffing, three yuan! Why would you need a bicycle? Fortunately, they came at five o'clock, and there was already a queue but not too long. The stall owner was very efficient and it was their turn soon.

It was also four buns. It's not that I don't want to try other flavors, but I think everything on this street is delicious. It would be a waste if I bought too much and couldn't finish it. Anyway, I still have two days to stay, so I'll continue tomorrow morning!

Shaomai, fried cakes, meat and egg burgers, hanging stove cakes, sticky bean buns, rice buns...

Most of the people watching the live broadcast at this time are poor workers and students. When they see these delicious foods, tears flow from the corners of their mouths unconsciously.

[Slurp... looks delicious.]

[Oh my god, such a big bun only costs three yuan? Are you sure it’s not marked wrong?!]

[My defense is broken. Whose little steamed bun with not much meat costs 0.8 yuan... It's me! ]

[Thank you, I am comforted. Our score is 0.5.]

[That’s enough! I’m going to be fed up to death!]

[If I make a mistake, please kill me instead of letting me see it but not be able to eat it! Wuwuwuwu...]

[Is this a family travel variety show? No! This is a food variety show!]

Xie Luoshu and Ye Wenliu wanted to buy one when they saw it. Fortunately, Gu Yejin stopped them in time: "Mom, Ah Shu. Yanyan is a little hungry. Let's eat first."

Just then I saw some customers finishing their meal and leaving the tofu pudding stall, so I pulled them over to sit down.

"Boss, give me four bowls of tofu pudding." said Gu Yejin.

"Okay." The boss replied, "Salty or sweet."

"Salted tofu pudding...is it delicious?" Xie Luoshu asked.

He used to drink sweet tofu pudding.

"You're from the South, right?" the boss said with a smile. "Of course it tastes good! You can try it."

Xie Luoshu thought about it and decided that since he was here to have fun, he should try some of the local delicacies: "Then... two bowls of sweet and two bowls of salty."

The boss then asked, "Any food taboos?"

"no."

Pour a spoonful of dark brown brine into the tofu pudding, then add shredded black fungus, mustard tuber, diced shiitake mushrooms, chopped coriander, and dried shrimps. Xie Luoshu took a bite out of curiosity.

The tofu pudding is smooth and tender, the broth is salty and fragrant, and it is paired with the crispness of pickled mustard tuber and black fungus, the richness of shiitake mushrooms, and the salty freshness of shrimp skin. The whole bowl of tofu pudding has rich textures and a rich flavor.

"It's delicious." Xie Luoshu pushed it to Gu Yejin, "You eat it often."

Gu Yejin took a bite and it was really good. The sweet tofu pudding was relatively simple, with sugar and osmanthus honey added. In the north, people eat salty tofu pudding. I heard that some stall owners specially prepared sugar because there are many tourists from the south. This store even prepared osmanthus honey. It was really surprising.

[Is salted tofu pudding really delicious (no ill intentions, just out of curiosity)]

[It’s delicious! I won’t allow anyone to not have tried salted tofu pudding! It’s super delicious!]

[Hiss… I really can’t imagine what it tastes like.]

[I have tried it, and I can only say that I love sweet food! Sweet tofu pudding is super delicious! ]

[Who understands, my family, that a southerner fell in love with salty tofu pudding (with tears)]

[This is a matter of personal taste. It does have something to do with the region, but I can’t say it’s absolute.]

[It’s already 4202, why are people still entangled in this (sweet tofu pudding)]

[That’s what I mean (Salted Tofu Pudding)]

[Oh, everyone, stop arguing (Salted Tofu Pudding)]

Salty and sweet tofu pudding...has been a controversial topic since ancient times, just like salty and sweet rice dumplings and salty and sweet glutinous rice balls.

Traveling is actually about eating, drinking, playing, shopping and entertainment. After breakfast, we continued to go shopping and bought some local specialties, such as frozen pears and frozen persimmons.

"How do I eat this frozen pear?" Xie Luoshu asked the stall owner. The frozen pear had a thin layer of frost on its surface, and its skin was rough, hard, and black. It was hard to tell that it was once a pear.

The stall owner said, "This is easy. Just take it out and soften it, then take a bite and suck it directly. You can also soak it in cold water for about ten to fifteen minutes."

[Eh? That's how it is. I always thought I just chewed it, but it makes my teeth hurt just thinking about it.]

[Huh? Do you have any misunderstandings about us northerners?]

[No... I thought so too. I think northerners have really good teeth. They can chew such hard things directly.]

[Ah this...]

[Stereotype! Back off!]

Yanyan poked the frozen pear. It was hard. Can it really be eaten?

At noon, I went to a local malatang restaurant. There was jelly pear juice in the beverage section. Jellied pear... juice?!

Gu Yejin: See through everything.jpg

To make frozen pear juice, wash and core the thawed pears, put them into a juicer, add an appropriate amount of cold boiled water or purified water, filter out the residue after squeezing them into juice, and add an appropriate amount of honey or white sugar to taste.

It’s very good, sweet and refreshing, but the kid can’t drink too much.

Yanyan: I’m a little unhappy, but it doesn’t matter. Malatang is so delicious!

This old-fashioned malatang is very flavorful. The corn noodles are soaked up in the rich and mellow soup, and the bright red chili oil and thick sesame sauce are tightly wrapped. The white sugar brings an indescribable deliciousness to the malatang. The noodles are smooth and tasty. The various meatballs are full and chewy, and are served with various vegetables. The best ones are the soy products, which are soaked up in the soup. If you are not careful, you will get burned if you take a bite.

[It’s delicious, help! ]

[The Case Is Solved is really a food variety show!]

[The more I watch, the more I crave it, but I still can’t help watching.]

[It's so boring. I just watched them eat, walk, and then eat. It's so boring.]

[Thank you, the bored upper right corner! This is how it was originally. Other families were eating while walking around. What are you trying to achieve by coming here?!]

[This is so funny. This is supposed to be a parent-child travel variety show. What else can you do when you travel besides seeing the scenery, eating delicious food, and shopping? Performing a 365-degree spiral for others?]

[Well... although, I basically slept on the first day of my trip.]

[Hahaha, I laughed my ass off, me too! We had clearly agreed on what to do the next day, but my friend and I ended up sleeping until noon and looking at each other in bed.]

[Otherwise, how can you two be friends? Haha!]

[Everyone has their own way of traveling. Traveling is to relax. Whether it is to see the scenery, eat delicious food, or sleep, as long as you feel relaxed and happy, that's enough.]

[lgdl, for people like us who don’t have the time or money to travel, it’s fun to watch others travel online hahaha! ]

[But, I still want to see a few of them together.]

[Silently +1]

In the afternoon, we visited some famous local attractions and unexpectedly saw a truckload of... Samoyed (no, crossed out) foxes?!

And let you touch it.

Everyone gathered around the truck impatiently. The fat fox had a round body and thick fur, like a carefully carved snowball. Its fur was whiter than snow, gleaming with fine luster in the sunlight. Its eyes were black and looked like two crystal clear black gems.

It feels even more comfortable to touch. But... it really looks like a Samoyed! It's definitely a fat baby!

"Yeah yeah?" Yanyan looked at the fat fox and thought of Ye ye next door.

"No." Xie Luoshu smiled, "It's a fox."

Yan Yan looked at it carefully and shook his head seriously: "Yes, yes."

"Hahaha." The employee nearby was amused, "Little boy, this is really a fox."

"Oh my god..." Yan Yan blurted out, but then changed her mind and said, "Dad, it's a fox."

Gu Yejin held his forehead. Who will come to save him?

[By the way, do you feel that Yanyan's mouth smells like corn?]

[That’s great.]

[What the hell is this? Oh my god, dad?]

[Boss Gu is helpless hahaha! ]

[Who passed on this accent to Yan Yanzi?]

[Not me.]

[It's not me, I think I have a bad accent too.]

"Baby." Xie Luoshu held Yanyan's hand.

"Hey!" Yan Yan responded while chewing on a candied haws. This was Yan Yan's second string of candied haws today.

Because it's cold here, the inside of the candied haws is sandy at room temperature, especially the fruit candied haws. It tastes like smoothie, Yanyan loves it.

"This is the last candied haws for today." Xie Luoshu said, "If you eat too much, you will have a stomachache later."

Yanyan: Frozen instantly.jpg

"Then...then tomorrow." Yanyan tried to save the situation.

"You can only eat one at most tomorrow." Xie Luoshu said decisively.

"Oh." Yan Yan sighed, "Okay, my Tanghulu."

Xie Luoshu suddenly had an idea: "If Yanyan can resist speaking in dialect tomorrow, she can eat two."

Yanyan's eyes sparkled: "Okay!"

It's not that I have any opinion about the dialect. It's just... how should I put it, it's too incompatible. And it's said that Yanyan almost made all the kids in the class speak with an accent. Many parents have complained to the teacher.

Oh my... No. Anyway, let Yanyan change it. The dialect is good, but the child is not suitable.
