Chapter 376 Rumors about Zheng Xi(1/2)
The old inn feels like dust is falling on my head.
The shopkeeper is quite old and is waiting on the side with a rag.
"Do you have glutinous rice wine or fermented rice wine in the store?"
"But wine, rice and porridge?"
The shopkeeper listened carefully to his words and answered with a strong local accent.
Song You thought for a moment after hearing this: "But the kind that makes people intoxicated?"
"How can that thing be intoxicating? No matter how much you eat, you won't get drunk, unless the baby eats too much..."
"That's it."
"Just wine, rice and porridge?"
"Cook a bowl and put two poached eggs in it. Does the store know how to make it?" Song You was about to unlock a new way to eat his Sanhua Empress.
"I know, I know..."
"How to collect money?"
"Two eggs? With or without sugar?"
"Two eggs, add sugar."
"Candy is so expensive these days, it costs fifteen cents."
"Cook a bowl."
"Are you just going to eat this?"
"Are there any special dishes here?" Song You asked him, "are there any delicious things that are only available here but not elsewhere?"
"Cat ears!"
"!"
Sanhua Empress, who was squatting at the Taoist's feet, lowering her head to lick her hands and wash her face seriously, was suddenly stunned. She raised her head and stared blankly at the store, forgetting to put down her paws.
Song You was also stunned for a moment.
"Cat ears?"
"Hahaha……"
The shopkeeper grinned, even though he had a few teeth missing: "They are made of flour, cat ears, and they are so big..."
The store owner gestured to the size of his fingernail.
Only then did Song You smile, and then the cat looked away and continued to lick its paws.
"How to collect money?"
"It's boiled in plain water and added with soy sauce and vinegar, it's only 12 cents, and it's stir-fried with toppings, it's 20 cents, a big bowl."
"I want a bowl of fried rice."
"okay……"
The storekeeper said something and walked back.
The fermented glutinous rice and poached eggs were served first.
The store owner was very down-to-earth, and maybe it was the elders who took care of the Taoist. Although Song You only wanted two eggs, he also brought a large bowl and gave him enough glutinous rice.
"brush!"
The cat jumped on the table and stared at him.
Song You first took out a spoon, scooped out a spoonful of soup, blew on it twice, and put it into his mouth.
"Suck..."
The cat stared at him without blinking.
The eyes seem to be able to speak.
Song You did indeed receive what she meant.
"tasty."
Song You replied: "But the sweetness is very light."
This was already expected.
Song You took out a jar from the bag, which contained sugar with a fine texture, white and yellow, which was white sugar.
But he was not in a hurry to put it away. Instead, he took out Sanhua Empress's small bowl from the bag, first scooped a poached egg in it, then scooped most of the glutinous rice in the bowl, and finally filled it with soup.
Full.
"The boiled glutinous rice is less toxic, so Empress Sanhua can eat a large bowl."
"?"
The cat looked down at the bowl, then looked up at him, and slowly tilted his head - his bowl was so small, half of it was occupied by a poached egg, how could it be called a big bowl? Isn't it still only half a bowl?
"After Sanhua Empress has finished eating, you can give Sanhua Empress another bowl." The Taoist said helplessly, then scooped a spoonful of sugar from the jar and put it into a small bowl.
The cat followed his movements closely and raised its head slightly following his movements.
"That's enough. It must be very sweet."
"Meow!"
"Children can't eat too much sugar. Besides, we don't bring much sugar. Until we get to Yangdu, we may only be able to buy brown sugar. Lady Sanhua should eat sparingly." Song You said while using
Use a spoon to stir in the small bowl of Sanhua Empress.
Paused for a moment and thought about it.
I wanted to add, "And this kind of sugar is very expensive." I felt that if I said this, Empress Sanhua would be convinced, but after thinking about it, I still didn't say anything. I just said to her: "You can go to the wild to get honey.
It depends on what Sanhua Empress is capable of."
Sanhua Empress is good at accepting advice, but when he put away the candy, she meowed again.
"I don't like sweets as much as Sanhua Empress. Just a little sweetness is enough." Song You said and slowly pushed the small bowl to her, which was full of poached eggs and glutinous rice. "Be careful to scald it."
"..."
The cat stared at him for a long time, then came over and tested the temperature of the fermented glutinous rice eggs. After smelling the taste, the cat stuck out its tongue and licked it.
"how?"
"Woooooooo..."
The cat was boiling and eating at the same time.
I think this bowl of hot mash gave her a whole new experience.
At this time, the store owner came again with a bowl.
"Cat ears are here!"
Sanhua Empress also stopped, raised her head, and looked at the bowl brought by the store.
"Yo!"
The store owner smiled, put down the bowl, and looked at the calico cat that was eating: "Mr., are you ordering the wine rice eggs specially for the cat?"
"She loves this."
"Sir, he's nice to the cat!"
"Thanks to her for traveling around the world with me, I can't treat her badly."
"Where are you from, sir?"
"Come from Yizhou..."
Song You answered while looking at the cat ears served by the store.
It's a bowl full of small pasta.
It looks like it was cut into dices about the size of a fingernail and then pressed with your fingers. The pasta is curled up and is not much bigger than a fingernail. There are lines on it that come from somewhere. It is slightly translucent after cooking.
, it really looks a bit like the ears of a small animal. Maybe it’s called this name because of its similar appearance.
It's also a full bowl with toppings on top.
It looks very slippery and tough.
Song You mixed it well and took a sip.
As expected, it is smooth and chewy and tastes very good.
Song You scooped up a spoonful and handed it to Mao'er: "Cat ears, Miss Sanhua, do you want to try them?"
The cat immediately drew its neck back and stared at the spoon he handed. Without saying a word, it just turned its head to avoid the spoon, and then lowered its head to eat its own glutinous rice eggs.
"Hehehe..."
To be continued...
