August is the season when wheat matures. At this time, the wheat has completely lost its greenness, and like a young girl, it has gradually become mature and passionate, and has learned to seduce people's hearts.

After leaving Jinling, the train gradually left the East China Plain and entered the North China Plain. The fields outside the train window had long been covered with patches of golden color, 60% of which were fully mature wheat, and 40% were mid-season rice that was about to fully mature.

.

The long green leather train is like a little green snake that has been practicing for thousands of years, winding and swimming on the golden earth, like a beautiful oil painting.

The speed of the train is only 100 kilometers per hour, so passengers can open the windows for a short time, greedily breathe in the fragrance of rice and wheat, take pictures in various poses, and then fix it with their mobile phones, trying to achieve their goals.

Build yourself up to be the most handsome guy and the most beautiful girl on this earth.

At this time, passengers in the soft sleeper and hard sleeper compartments will be very envious of the hard seat compartments, because they will be very frustrated if they want to take photos in the narrow sleeper compartment...

Starting from the North China Plain and heading northwest, the proportion of wheat fields will gradually increase; due to historical reasons, the rugged northwest people still prefer pasta, and pasta, the crown of the staple food, has gained as many as

Hundreds of ways to do it.

It is absolutely wrong to use the Yellow River to divide north and south. As a native of Pengcheng, Zhouzhou has always believed that the Huaihe River Basin is the landmark line that divides north and south, and the brightest pearl on 'this line' is undoubtedly Pengcheng.

Pengcheng, one of the nine states in the world, is a thoroughfare of four provinces, connecting north, south, west and east. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Due to its geographical location, it brings together the flavors of the north and south, including salty, sweet, sour and spicy. Eating in Pengcheng is a must-have.

It's not something you say casually.

It was also from Pengcheng that pasta gradually occupied the main position on the dining table. From here to the north or west, people's love for pasta became more and more tragic. The fragrant wheat had long been changed from its original appearance and became

A delicious and fragrant delicacy.

Zhouzhou is a native of Pengcheng in both worlds, so whenever x164 departs from Magic Capital, he has to take the train from Pengcheng to Magic Capital first; when the train returns from Tibet, he also has to follow the train to Magic Capital.

, and then return to Pengcheng from Magic City.

Don't think this is hard work. The railway system doesn't know how many people are extremely envious of their counterparts on x164.

Because x164 is an ultra-long-distance train with a mileage of more than 6,000 kilometers and a duration of 85 hours, it requires three train crews to rotate their work.

For example, group A took 85 hours to travel from Shanghai to Tibet, then group B picked up a bus from Zangdu to Tibet, which lasted 85 hours, and group C then picked up a bus from Shanghai to Tibet, which lasted 85 hours.

Group A will pick up the bus and return from Tibet.

Zhou Zhou is in Group A, which means that after following the car for 85 hours, he can rest for more than 170 hours in Zangdu. After following the car back to Magic City again, he can rest for another 170 hours.

.(Some readers have raised objections to the three shifts I set here. What I want to say is: this book focuses on food and travel. I want to take you to eat and play at the same time, so I can’t tie the protagonist to him all the time.

On the train, don't worry, look behind you...))

This "work one, rest two" mode is determined by the speed of the green train, and also by the special route of x164; because this route has to travel back and forth between the east and west ends of China, and the altitude difference along the way is as high as

Traveling five to six kilometers requires a great deal of physical and mental exertion on the conductor's part, so he must ensure adequate rest time.

Except for conductor Zhang Xia, who often follows the train for 170 consecutive hours and is a well-known "female ironman" on x164, the rest of the conductors enjoy special treatment. Can this not make other trains jealous?

This is why the big bosses of the railway bureau always want to replace x164 with high-speed rail. If it is replaced by high-speed rail, it can not only increase x164's fare income, but also end the 'ridiculous' paid vacations of these employees.

Eliminating the grievances of other trains would kill three birds with one stone, wouldn't it?

That is to say, Zhang Xia was holding on, and several well-known domestic tourism media had public support for this green tourist train, so the higher-ups were unable to make this decision.

Zhou Zhou travels between the Magic City and the Tibetan Capital, but his hometown has become a place he often passes by. Every time he arrives at Pengcheng Station, he feels a strong sense of homesickness. This is true for him in both worlds.

At a quarter past five in the afternoon, the train slowly entered Pengcheng Laodong Station.

The Pengcheng Laodong Station in this world is exactly the same as the one in Zhouzhou's memory, which reminds him of his home in another world. At that time, when he got up every morning, he would go to Pengcheng's famous restaurant "Liang Lai Feng" for a bowl of spicy soup.

, eat two taels of fried buns.

There are many delicacies in Pengcheng, and the most representative one is the double soup.

The two soups refer to 'Hita Soup' and Spicy Soup. The former is a succulent and delicious dish made from pork bones, pork and wheat kernels, while the latter is a delicious and refreshing dish made from hen, ginger, eel and black pepper.

Coupled with the rich gravy and crispy and fragrant fried buns, it becomes a unique delicacy that Pengcheng people will never forget.

It’s a pity that this double soup pack seems simple, but in fact it has been secretly passed down from generation to generation. It requires a master chef with many years of experience to make it authentically. Although there are also double soup packs in this world, and you can search for the recipe and method with your mobile phone.

However, it is absolutely impossible to search for the oral instructions passed down by generations of masters, let alone their decades of accumulated experience.

If it were other delicacies, Zhou Zhou might try to make it. With his advanced chef’s cooking skills, he could probably restore it to 60 to 70%. But this is the representative delicacy of his hometown in two worlds. If he’s not absolutely sure, he still doesn’t want to do it.

Do it easily, because if you don't make it authentic enough, you will lose the face of your hometown.

Therefore, the passengers on this train will not be able to enjoy the meal. Zhou Zhou plans to wait until he has free time to try making it many times. He will have to be at least 90% sure before adding a packet of this soup to x164's train meal recipe.

"One pack of double soup can only be put away once at the moment. Now the first thing I have to do is complete the task issued by the system. I still need to sell two hundred and fifty train meals..."

Looking at the remaining ingredients in the kitchen, Zhou Zhou felt a little embarrassed.

Because he couldn’t arrive at Zhongzhou Station until about 7 p.m., he couldn’t count on the ingredients replenished at Zhongzhou Station. He, a ‘smart woman’, could only make full use of the existing ingredients.

The remaining tomatoes, peppers and pork belly can be used to make a total of 80 tomato egg rice bowls and pepper fried pork rice bowls. With his skills as a senior chef, there should not be too many common dishes for which the recipes can be found online.

Big problem.

But even if we include the already prepared drafts for tomorrow's breakfast, we may not be able to collect two hundred and fifty portions. If it is postponed until noon tomorrow, I am afraid that the task limit time will have passed.

To be safe, it is not enough to just sell tomato and egg rice bowl and chili fried pork rice bowl for dinner, you have to think of another way.

Zhou Zhou opened the freezer and went up and down, and found that there were only eggs in the freezer...

"There are about 120 eggs left. After excluding the tomato and egg rice bowl, I will use about 50, and there are still about 70 left.

Eggs...wait, there they are!"

Looking at the two big bags of lotus pods piled in the corner of the kitchen, Zhou Zhou's eyes suddenly lit up!

There is a dish that can make use of these eggs. It was his favorite delicacy when he was a child. It was his mother's best dish. He didn't know how many times he had seen her make it when he was a child.

Moreover, this dish is something that is not available in this parallel world, and it is more of a novelty!

Zhou Zhou smiled unconsciously.
Chapter completed!
