Life is a Game

Although Babaozhai's dishes taste mediocre, they are served very quickly. After the roast duck was served, all the dishes except the distiller's lees steamed buns were ready within ten minutes.

He didn't think there was anything when he ordered it, but when the dishes were served, Jiang Feng suddenly realized that none of them had ordered any vegetarian dishes.

Pot meat, duck feet with mustard, roast lamb chops, roast lamb legs, and roast duck are all special dishes. On an ordinary dinner table, any of these five dishes would be the most gorgeous dish on the table, but on Jiang Feng's table, it turned out to be rare and colorful.

Jiang Zaide, who was in charge of payment, was definitely an emperor who was exposed to both rain and dew. He ate every dish, mouthful after mouthful, without fear of taint.

A few people chatted casually while eating. He Yueru felt that she could eat people's mouths and treat others softly. After having such a sumptuous lunch at noon, she naturally had to fulfill her duty of accompanying the tourists. Even when it was lunch time, he had to tell Jiang Feng and the others which restaurants in Beiping City were the best at making these dishes.

"Actually, the mustard duck feet are best eaten at a roast duck restaurant that specializes in roast duck. Although the old restaurants that specialize in roast duck in Beiping have been worse for the past few years, and the old chef has left. It’s still there. There are quite a few restaurants in big restaurants that serve delicious roast duck, but it’s only delicious if the mustard duck feet are made in those restaurants that specialize in roast duck.” He Yueru held the mustard duck feet on her chopsticks, and Tong Jiang Feng and the others introduced mustard duck feet.

"It turned out that someone from my classmate's family worked in those old shops that specialize in roast duck. I remember he told me that the mustard duck feet are complicated to make. The duck feet need to be boiled, boned, washed, and the mustard is in those shops. The master of the restaurant made it himself, and he had to rub it on the duck feet overnight to let it ferment, and then adjust the taste and serve it to the guests on the second day. Although it smells strong, it tastes absolutely delicious!" ① (Please see the end of the article for details)

Jiang Feng suspected that He Yueru had listened to a lot of storytelling and cross talks when she was helping out in their donkey meat shop on weekdays, otherwise her eloquence would not be so good, and she would speak clearly and logically.

"Tanzi meat should be the best in Tongdeju. Tongdeju doesn't have any good dishes now. In fact, the taste is not bad, but I always feel that there is something missing. The main reason is that Tongdeju is too far away from my home. It takes more than two hours to take the subway. I think the best restaurant in Beiping is Yongheju. In fact, the roast lamb chops at Tongdeju are not bad, but they are not as good as Yongheju. The mutton at Yongheju The mutton is very good, whether it is grilled mutton, steamed mutton, fried mutton, or roasted mutton, they are all very delicious, but unfortunately my mother still thinks I am fat, and I haven’t eaten mutton in Yongheju for a long time.” He Yueru said Then he sighed.

"Brother Jiang, do you have a girlfriend?" He Yueru asked.

"Ah? Girlfriend? Did you have it before?" Jiang Zaide raised his head in response, and then buried himself in his roast leg of lamb.

He Yueru sighed again: "It's better for you boys, it doesn't matter if you are a little fatter. I don't think I am fatter than Brother Jiang and you. At most, I am a little fatter than ordinary people, isn't it only a few kilograms? My mother Talking to me every day, from childhood to adulthood, seems to be able to make me lose weight. Really, she doesn’t think about whether it’s because she fed me fat. The one in my bowl, don’t eat it, she scolds me for wasting it. Eat it, she scolds me for eating too much.”

Same world, same fat man's mother.

"My mother used to be like this, but she didn't care about me when I went out to work and didn't eat at home." Jiang Zaide echoed.

Jiang Feng: ...

As a thin man, it was really difficult for him to get into the topic of He Yueru and De Ge.

"But Sister Xiaoyue, my mother-in-law said it's better for girls to be fatter. My mother-in-law always told me to eat more and gain weight." Ji Xia objected while gnawing on the lamb chops.

He Yueru looked at Ji Xia with a smile, her eyes narrowed into slits: "That's because you are still thin, and when you become as fat as your sister Xiaoyue, your mother-in-law won't let you eat more It's one o'clock."

Wu Minqi, who was sitting next to He Yueru, was almost choked to death by a mouthful of roast duck.

With lingering fear in her heart, Wu Minqi touched her chin and pinched it, feeling that there was indeed a lot more flesh than before.

"You can move out after working like me. Then you will live alone and eat whatever you want, and your parents won't be able to see it anyway." Jiang Zaide said.

He Yueru shook her head: "Impossible, my parents expect me to learn our family's skill of making donkey meat fire, inherit our family's shop, and continue to sell donkey meat fire."

Both Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi can join in on this topic. Wu Minqi, who had been silent all this time, took the opportunity to ask, "Then have you started learning now?"

"Now I'm learning how to make fire with my dad. My dad said that the Chinese New Year is coming soon and he will give me two days off. I haven't learned during this time." He Yueru said.

"Making snacks is hard work. When you have so many guests, will you be able to come here?" Wu Minqi asked with concern. He Yueru's donkey meat fire was sold cheaply, there were no shop assistants, and the location of the shop was not good. , It must be the path of small profits but quick turnover.

Small profits but quick turnover means tiredness. This kind of work of selling snacks early in the morning and late in the evening is now difficult for many young men. Otherwise, there would not be so many time-honored snack bars in Beiping City that would close one after another. Not to mention that He Yueru is still a girl who only seems to like eating and drinking.

"It may be hard work for others. Look at me, look at the flesh on my arm." He Yueru raised her right hand to show Wu Minqi, "It's winter now, so I don't know how much I'm wearing. The flesh is not for nothing, my mother said that my strength is more than enough to carry bricks and steel rods on the construction site."

"And I think it's very good. I can open a shop at home and save myself from looking for a job and being disgusted by others. There used to be a lot of shops selling donkey meat in the alley of my house, but now only my parents are still open. If I don’t learn from my family’s shop, it will have to close in the future, so where can I buy it if I want to eat donkey meat?” He Yueru can think about it, “Now I’m learning how to cook with my dad, and my dad said donkey meat The most important thing about meat fire is fire. If the fire is not good, donkey meat stewed is useless. It is better to eat donkey meat directly than to use bad fire, so as to avoid spoiling donkey meat in the fire.”

After He Yueru finished speaking, seeing that there were only a few pieces of lamb chops left on the plate, she took the time to eat another piece.

Like Jiang Zaide, He Yueru eats a lot and eats fast. Jiang Feng felt that if He Yueru had the opportunity to eat with Jiang Junlian and Jiang Junqing, she would not necessarily lose to these two sisters in terms of appetite and speed.

It's time to let Jiang Junlian and Jiang Junqing know what it means to have someone beyond others, there are mountains beyond mountains, and there are strong hands among the strong.

Once two people at the dinner table start to eat hard, everyone will be driven by this atmosphere, and they can't help but let go of the messy thoughts in their minds, and start to eat hard together with the things at hand. Driven by Jiang Zaide and He Yueru, even Jiang Feng, who felt full, and Wu Minqi, who repeatedly warned himself not to eat too much, couldn't help but grab the chopsticks and eat them to their heart's content.

Seeing that the dishes on the table were about to be wiped out, the distiller's lees steamed buns that had been waiting for a long time finally arrived.

The distiller's lees steamed bun that Ling Guangzhao should spare no effort to brag about looks nothing special, just like ordinary steamed buns, and there is no strange smell when you get close, just the smell of ordinary distiller's lees steamed buns.

It feels no different from the steamed buns sold outside that range from a few cents to a dollar.

The waiter who served the dishes was the same waiter who ordered the dishes before. When each dish was served, she would introduce a few words, and the distiller's lees steamed buns should be no exception.

"Guests, this distiller's lees steamed bun is a new product in our shop. Even boss Ling of our shop is full of praise. You can never taste this taste outside. This is the exclusive secret recipe and unique craftsmanship of our shop's master Baian. One serving!"

The distiller's lees steamed buns were on the table, steaming steaming, obviously freshly steamed.

Jiang Feng didn't believe the waiter's nonsense. She used different words to praise each dish before it was served, but she didn't feel any difference when she ate it in the end. of.

Steamed buns are high in carbohydrates, and Wu Minqi doesn't want to touch them lightly even if he has already eaten a bellyful of meat. Jiang Zaide was not interested in such meatless things, Ji Xia was the same as above, Jiang Feng stood still, and only He Yueru was left staring at the distiller's lees steamed buns on the table.

"Don't you guys eat steamed buns?" He Yueru asked.

"I will eat later, I will eat later." The four spoke in unison.

"Then I'll eat one first. I think there are six in this serving. You can eat another one later if you are interested. The steamed buns must be eaten while they are hot, so I will not be polite." He Yueru stood firm. Grabbing the distiller's lees steamed bun that was closest to her, it might be a little hot, and she took it with the other hand, and even blew on it before eating it.

Bite down.

Jiang Feng, who was closest to He Yueru, smelled a fragrance that seemed to be distiller's grains but not purely distiller's grains, which was a little familiar.

"Delicious!" He Yueru's eyes lit up, she looked even more excited than she had just finished eating roast duck, jar meat, roast lamb chops, roast leg of lamb and duck feet with mustard.

"It's really delicious. This steamed bun is very delicious. It tastes different from other steamed buns. Try it quickly, it won't taste good when it cools down!" He Yueru seemed to have discovered a treasure.

Hearing what she said, everyone couldn't help looking at the steamed buns on the table.

looked at each other.
