Chapter 300 Foodies

Among restaurants and restaurants, the most common drinks are of course all kinds of alcohol.

However, perhaps because the climate in Wanhua County is very warm, the alcohol here is generally very low in alcohol.

Anyway, after ten days of shopping around Tang Yanxiu, he didn't find a single shop that sold Shaodaozi.

Instead, he found all kinds of fruit wine and honey wine.

"For fruit wine, Xiaorui, you can think about wine. Of course, the taste is not so mellow. In addition, there are many other types of fruit wine, such as apple cider and orange wine. As for honey wine, it is very sweet Greasy, most likely mixed with honey."

"Is there any juice?"

"I didn't find a squeezed juice like yours, but let me find some fruit soup. It is to steam the fruit, not necessarily one kind of fruit, many of which are mixed with four or five kinds. This Planting fruit soup is very popular among middle-aged and elderly people, and children seem to be more willing to eat the fruit directly."

Mo Qianrui was silent, she seemed to have really underestimated the wisdom of the ancients.

Mo Qianrui immediately pointed to the bowl of sugar water mixed with honey that Tang Yanxiu had poured out just now, and said, "What about this kind? Is it honey water?"

"No, that's tea."

When he said this, the corners of Tang Yanxiu's mouth couldn't help twitching.

Seeing the suspicion on Mo Qianrui's face, he had no choice but to explain: "We were probably enshrined by the old priest."

It turned out that Wanhua County had the kind of tea soup that the old priest asked them to taste last time, but in fact this kind of tea soup was not popular at all.

There are a lot of drinks in Wanhua County, which can be roughly divided into five types according to age group, personality, and family background.

The first type is ordinary low-alcohol grain wine. Most of the people who can drink this kind of wine are men in their 40s to [-] years old.

The second type is fruit wine and honey wine. Although they are also called wine, the amount of alcohol contained in them is almost negligible.This drink is the most popular, and is enjoyed by men aged ten to twenty, and women aged ten to forty.

The third type is fruit soup, which will be chosen by middle-aged and elderly men and women, or those with weak bones.

The fourth type is tonic medicinal soup, which is very expensive, and usually only people with very wealthy families will choose it.

And the last one is tea soup.

"Wanhua County is rich in flowers and fruits, so ordinary green tea is not popular. For scented tea, it is relatively light, just take some fried scented tea in a teacup, then mix it with water and drink directly. The other is fruit tea Yes, this is what I gave you to drink."

Hearing what Tang Yanxiu said, Mo Qianrui was a little dazed, and subconsciously picked up the bowl of soup just now and took another sip.

After savoring it carefully, Mo Qianrui was even more surprised.

"I only tasted that the main ingredient in it is honey, and the quality is very good. But this fruit..."

"It is said that they boil the fruit in a pot for more than a dozen hours at a time, or longer. Then they mix the jam that has been boiled into a paste with honey, or brown sugar and white sugar, to make this It’s a kind of jelly-like thing. If you want to drink tea, just scoop out some, then mix it with water and drink it. It’s very convenient, and it’s the drink that children like the most.”

After a pause, Tang Yanxiu added: "The quality of fruit tea varies greatly. The worst estimate is to extract the pulp and add some sugar. The one I brought you is a relatively good one. kind."

Mo Qianrui tasted it again, and immediately scooped a spoonful into the ceramic jar, holding it in front of her eyes for a closer look.

After a while, she smiled helplessly: "I thought that with the memory of my previous life, I would be invincible. Alas, the wisdom of working people is infinite."

"I thought you would say that no matter what era or time and space it is, the Chinese nation is a family of foodies."

"Pfft...don't make me laugh all the time. Seriously, why did you say that we were bullied by old priests?"

Tang Yanxiu thought for a while, organized his words a little, and then said with a sad face: "According to what I have seen and heard in the taverns and restaurants in the past ten days, the kind of tea that the old priest asked us to drink last time should be an ancient tea soup. It is passed down from the ancestors hundreds of years ago. Even in Wanhua County, there are probably only one or two real teahouses. Moreover, unless the customer specifically orders that kind of tea soup, under normal circumstances , would not recommend customers to drink."

"In other words, that ancient tea soup is actually not popular in Wanhua County?"

"Yes. I think it's the same not only in Wanhua County, but also in other counties. Because, in the past ten days, I have seen many businessmen who came to participate in the May Flower Show from other places and asked about their purchases. Scented tea and fruit tea. I haven’t seen anyone mention the ancient tea soup.”

Mo Qianrui was stunned for a while, trying to digest Tang Yanxiu's words.

However, what surprised Tang Yanxiu was that Mo Qianrui was not angry at all, but smiled happily.

"In this way, the generation gap between us and people of this era is not very different. By the way, I will go back and interrogate my father and Erya. Don't take such a joke. I saw them drinking very happily that day. .”

"There are two possibilities. First, your father is pretending to be afraid of being regarded as a bumpkin. Second, your father really likes this taste, because people who like this ancient tea soup must like it very much. "

"What about Erya?"

Maybe the father of the Mo family would choose to slap his face to look fat, or maybe he really likes this taste.But Erya is obviously not such a person. Whether it's pretending or really liking, Mo Qianrui will feel very painful.

Tang Yanxiu took a deep breath, and said in a rather sad tone, "As for Erya, I think she is just plain stupid."

In a word, Mo Qianrui almost choked to death.

But calm down and think about it carefully, it seems that Tang Yanxiu's words really make sense.

At that moment, Mo Qianrui was silent.

Fortunately, Tang Yanxiu didn't get entangled in this topic, because all his custom-made items had been delivered, and he quickly went to get people to clean the food boxes and tableware.And Mo Qianrui ordered people to put the baked biscuits and cakes into food boxes and put them on shelves for sale.

After finishing all this, it was already evening, Mo Qianrui went around the lobby, and soon frowned again.

Today the lobby is divided into two parts.

The side next to the stairs is used as a tea restaurant.Except for the sale of pastries and juices, everything else is exactly the same as other restaurants and restaurants.Although Mo Qianrui complained about holding biscuits and cakes with chopsticks, there was nothing else.

On the other side, there are several large counters, and behind the counters are filled with all kinds of food boxes, of course biscuits and cakes are placed inside.On the counter, there are samples that Mo Qianrui specially asked to display.

Originally, this was pretty good, but Mo Qianrui looked left and right, and still felt that there was a problem.

But at this moment, it was not so easy for Mo Qianrui to tell what the problem was.

"What's wrong with you? You always look worried. Come on, let's go out for dinner today, and I'll take you to the restaurant that I thought had the best food last time." Tang Yanxiu saw Mo Qianrui's appearance, Just take her out for dinner.

Anyway, most of the things have been taken care of, and it is time to rest for two days.

Letting Tang Yanxiu drag her into the carriage, Mo Qianrui believed in Tang Yanxiu's recommendation.

You know, a culinary idiot does not mean that you are not a foodie.

On the contrary, because of her, Tang Yanxiu developed a very tricky mouth.

This is not to say that Tang Yanxiu is a picky eater, but that his evaluation of food is very pertinent, and he can be regarded as an amateur food critic.Therefore, Mo Qianrui was very relieved to be dragged away by him, and was looking forward to today's dinner.

The dinner was really good, but apart from a great feast, Mo Qianrui was more determined about one thing.

"I will never open a restaurant in Wanhua County, it's too bad!"

Although Tang Yanxiu has repeatedly stated that the chef of this restaurant is one of the best in Wanhua County, it does not represent the average cooking skills of restaurants in Wanhua County.However, Mo Qianrui still insisted that in the future, he would open a pastry shop honestly and never interfere in restaurants.

At most, they open hot pot restaurants, barbecue shops and the like.

However, considering that the people in Wanhua County all have bland tastes, Mo Qianrui privately thinks that this possibility is not great.

So busy, the May Flower Show will soon come to an end.

But on May 29th, the old priest killed him again.

And they didn't go to Tangzhai in the inner city, but went directly to the delicious pastry shop in the outer city.

By the way, because the name of the shop was printed on the food boxes made by Tang Yanxiu, Mo Qianrui identified the shop as a delicious pastry shop.In addition to those pastries, Mo Qianrui also planned to make some nice Chinese pastries when he was free.You know, no matter what era, color control always accounts for the majority.

"Old priest, what are you planning to do in such a hurry? Have some snacks?"

During the day, Mo Qianrui was always in the shop, either busy in the back kitchen, or checking the situation in the lobby.And Tang Yanxiu will probably accompany him, but his wound has not fully healed, and occasionally he still has to go to the hospital to change his dressing and bandages.

The timing of the old priest's arrival was very unfortunate, it happened to be when Tang Yanxiu was not around.

"You little girl, and my good grandson! Have you forgotten everything you promised me before?"

Seeing that Mo Qianrui looked completely bewildered, the old priest became even angrier.

"The flower show in the inner city! As I said, you can do whatever you want with the flower show in the outer city, and it doesn't matter if you don't participate. But what about the inner city? It's agreed, every household has to participate. Did you return it last time?" Promise to let my good grandson get two pots of good flowers again. The flower show will be over soon, you won’t really forget it, will you?”

"Oh!"

Mo Qianrui finally realized.

It's a pity that there is something she dare not say directly.

That thing... She did forget.

Or maybe it never even bothered.
