Bailuyuan, I am Bai Xiaowen

Chapter 42 Food
"Treasurer Wang, I want to order a suit of clothes from you."

"what clothes?"

Bai Xiaowen immediately took out a pencil and paper from his pocket and started to draw.

Drawing is very fast.

It took a while to draw it.

It is an improved Mao suit from later generations.

It looks better.

"Shopkeeper Wang, can such a style be made?"

Shopkeeper Wang looked at the paper and said, "Of course."

He didn't expect that Bai Xiaowen was also a costume designer.

He carries a pen with him, and he looks quite cultured. He writes with a hard pen. Like his daughter, she must be learning something new.

"Shopkeeper, how much does it cost to make custom clothes? I'll give you the money."

"No money, just come and pick it up in half a month."

Had a meal here.

After eating, go to the drugstore.

Bought some spices.

I bought a lot of medicinal materials.

"We don't have these two medicines in our store. I guess there aren't many stores in the county that can carry them. I guess you have to go to the provincial capital to have a look."

Still missing a few herbs.

Zishui County, the provincial capital, and Bailuyuan are all adjacent.

The distance is very short, and there are dozens of miles of road.

It's now noon, so I'm ready to go back to where I came from.

At the gate of the city, I met a man from Yuan Shang.

"Xiaowen, you are also in the county seat."

"Uncle, I'm buying some medicinal materials in the county town. By the way, uncle, please bring me a letter and tell my father that I won't be back today, and I have to go to the provincial capital to buy some medicinal materials."

It's not good if you don't go back for a day, but now someone brings the letter, and if you don't go back home, you won't worry much.

"Okay, Xiaowen, I will tell the clan leader."

After the explanation, he found a ride-on carriage to the provincial capital.

The county seat, the provincial capital, and Bailuyuan, these three places, have ox carts, horse carts, and donkey carts going back and forth every day.

Some drop by even without money.

There are also special vehicles for this business, charging a few cents for travel.

Bai Xiaowen found a carriage and went to the provincial capital.

The provincial capital, the thousand-year-old capital, is much more lively than the county town and the original.

Here in the provincial capital, the Bai family also has relatives. Bai Xiaowen's father's cousin is here.

After arriving in the provincial capital, Bai Xiaowen's first thought was to go to his cousin's house to prepare a place to stay and rest at night.

Arrive at my cousin's house.

My cousin's family also runs a small business, and the living conditions seem to be okay.

They are considered an upper-middle-class family in the provincial capital, and they have no worries about food and clothing. My cousin is still studying in a middle school in the provincial capital.

The cousin is slightly older than the younger sister by two years and younger than Bai Xiaowen.

The cousin's family is very enthusiastic.

As soon as I came over, I heard my cousin calling someone, "Cousin Xiaowen, why are you here today? Come in quickly."

"Cousin, hello cousin."

The changes in the provincial capital are relatively large.

The main reason is that people's hearts change quickly and thoughts change quickly.

All barrels are changed frequently.

"Xiaowen, come in, let's drink tea first."

Bai Xiaowen has been to the provincial capital a few times, but the times are relatively few.

It seems like two years have passed since the last time I came here.

"Cousin, this is a new song taught in our school. I will sing it to you. Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass stretches to the sky. The evening wind blows the willow flute, and the sun sets outside the mountain. At the end of the sky, at the corner of the earth, we are close friends. Semi-detached”

My cousin likes Bai Xiaowen better, mainly because Bai Xiaowen behaved very well the past few times she came here. He took her out to play, buy things, and did many unusual things, which made her cousin admire her more.

"It sounds good."

I exaggerated a few words.

My cousin came over and said, "Xiaowen, what are you going to do in the provincial capital this time?"

Bai Xiaowen: "I am learning medical skills from my father-in-law. There are several medicinal materials that I need to buy. They may only be found here in the provincial capital."

Cousin: "Xiaowen, take a break and stop cooking. Let's go out to eat, go to the restaurant, Chun Fa's gourd head."

The last time Bai Xiaowen got married, his cousin came to congratulate him.

"No need, cousin, it's good to have some at home."

"That's okay, you don't come here often, I have to treat you well. Chunfa's Hulutou is a characteristic of the provincial capital, the most authentic family."

After a while, everything was tidied up, and the cousin's family and Bai Xiaowen went to Chunfa Restaurant together.

There were a lot of people in the restaurant, and it looked like business was very good.

I found a table and finished cooking. It's almost five o'clock in the afternoon, and I'm almost ready to have dinner.

I ordered several dishes, the most important of which was Chunfa’s signature dish, gourd head.

Soon the food was served.

Such a large table of dishes and wine cost a fortune, which made Bai Xiaowen feel a little embarrassed.

My cousin's family is not particularly wealthy in the provincial capital.

There is no land in the provincial capital, so I need to buy everything.

I also need to buy vegetables and all the food and supplies.

Fortunately, business is going well, and this piece of ocean is nothing.

Besides, I don’t eat like this every day, I only go out to restaurants occasionally.

If you are reluctant to eat it yourself, you are still willing to entertain guests.

"Xiaowen, come on, eat more, this is the gourd head that happens in spring.

Wash the pig's large intestine, roast and boil it, then slice or shred it.Break the buns into ginkgo-sized pieces and place them in a bowl. Arrange the large intestine, cooked meat, chicken or squid, and sea cucumber slices neatly on the buns. Pour the boiled special broth three or four times to make the buns inside the bowl. Soak the cubes in the soup, then add cooking wine, seasoning water, MSG, minced coriander and shredded garlic sprouts, and finally pour the soup over them.

Although most people know how to make it, there are still some details, and the taste is just as delicious as spring.

try it. "

My cousin had been in contact with Bai Xiaowen several times, and every time he had contact, he saw how unusual Bai Xiaowen was.

I also feel that Bai Xiaowen will definitely be successful in the future.

There's no telling if we'll get into trouble again in the future.

Besides, there is still this level of kinship.

"Try it and see how it tastes."

Bai Xiaowen tasted it and found that it tasted really awesome and fragrant. "The buns are white and shiny, soft and smooth, the meat is tender and the soup is fresh, fat but not greasy, and the aroma is mellow. The soup is rich and mellow, and the oily aroma is palatable. It is suitable for all ages." Suitable for all, it is not only a delicacy, but also a high-quality tonic.”

"Well said, haha, Xiaowen, Jiaxuan knows how to eat better than your father. There is also this dish, gourd chicken.

First rinse it in clean water to remove blood stains. When cooking, tie the chicken with hemp wire to keep the chicken in shape. When the cold water in the pot boils, add the chicken, cook for half an hour, take it out, put it in a basin, and add broth. , cooking wine, refined salt, soy sauce, green onions, ginger, star anise, cinnamon, steamed thoroughly.When frying, heat the rapeseed oil to [-]% heat and add the steamed whole chicken. Stir it with a spoon until the chicken is golden brown. Take it out with a slotted spoon and drain the oil. "

I ordered two hard dishes, two side dishes, and a bottle of wine.

This is the highest level of hospitality.

Calabash chicken is also delicious.

Drinks are also good.

It’s because of his regard for Bai Xiaowen.

On the other hand, it can also be seen that the business of my cousin's family is not bad in the provincial capital.If the business is not good, I probably won’t be willing to eat like this.
