I am reborn without a pattern

Although it was cold at night, Gongyuan Street next to Yongzangpo was crowded with people, so it didn't feel too cold.

Looking at the lanterns, the two of them each held a roasted sweet potato and ate it slowly under the archway. They breathed while eating. From time to time, a vendor doing "snapshot" business came to ask if they wanted to take pictures.

It's not that he doesn't want to have a good dinner, it's just that Zhao Feiyan really wants to taste the sweet potatoes that are almost syrupy.

"It's really delicious."

A pound of sweet potatoes was quickly finished by Zhang Haonan. He wiped his mouth, crumpled the paper into a ball, and threw it into the trash can.

The two of them just walked and looked around. There were many small shops at this time, and there were many kinds of food.

There are still some differences from the major scenic spots in 20 or 30 years later. Although the scenery in the scenic spots in the future will be different, the snacks will be the same.

"Yeah, I just said roasted sweet potatoes."

"Save some room for us, let's go to Nan'an to eat soup dumplings."

He took away the half of the sweet potato that Zhao Feiyan was holding and took her directly across the river.

"I also want to see Gongyuan."

"After you finish eating, take your time and watch."

"Oh well."

"There is a salted duck restaurant that is pretty good, and the skin belly noodles next to their place are still pretty good."

But in a few years, this skin belly noodle restaurant will not be as good as Kang Shuai Fu Lao Tan’s pickled cabbage noodles, and every bite will be an insult to one’s own intelligence.

The shop that makes soup dumplings is pretty good. The boss is from Runzhou. He is quite content with being rich and has always insisted on using solid ingredients. The craftsmanship is not perfect, but the ingredients are solid and the taste is not bad. It is already valuable.

When Zhang Haonan once entertained a German client, he also stayed at the Jinling Hotel and came here for food.

"This salted duck has no fishy smell."

"To handle the duck's anger well, it's not about craftsmanship, it's about kung fu."

"Not even firewood."

"Eat and cherish it."

"Why do you say that?"

Why?

Because the boss will open several branches...

Then the duck was old, dull and full of flavour, without the softness, glutinousness and freshness and juiciness at this time.

And as the city's business card becomes louder and louder, it rushes towards a one-shot deal. Anyway, more and more tourists come to Jiankang every day like crucian carp crossing the river.

But what Zhang Haonan had to admit was that the salted duck owner made much more money than the soup dumpling owner.

And much, much more.

The boss who sells soup dumplings now also makes pot noodles. The main focus is cost-effectiveness. A normal person can eat eighty cents full for only three yuan.

His crystal meat is not eye-catching, but it can be considered a small profit but quick turnover, and usually only students from nearby will order a dish. If tourists who accidentally wander in here also come to feast, the exhausted boss will not be able to supply enough. .

"Boss, two bowls of noodles with beef. Two soup dumplings and one meat dish."

"The meat is not available now..."

"some."

"..."

The lady boss sitting at the counter was speechless, then coughed lightly: "Wait a moment, please sit down first."

"What is a knife noodle?"

"It's just pot noodles, because the dough is cut with a knife."

"The balsamic vinegar here is fine. You can add some to the soup dumplings later."

"You look like you've been here before?"

"This soup dumpling is the authentic "Jijiang soup dumpling" recipe. There is a lot of crab roe in it. Adding some vinegar will make it more delicious."

Without answering Zhao Feiyan's question, Zhang Haonan still just introduced her to the reason for coming here.

The price of hairy crabs has not skyrocketed these days, and there is no local custom of eating crabs, so the cost of crab roe does not put much pressure on the boss at this time.

By the time hairy crabs also started to establish brand origins, the boss's main soup dumplings had become fresh meat soup dumplings...

"Wow, like Xiao Long Bao."

Use a straw to suck up the juice, and then peel off a layer of skin. Inside, the crabs are golden and red. For people from the water town, this is an irresistible temptation.

"Delicious. So fresh."

"Be careful of the burn."

While they were talking, two bowls of noodles were already on the table. Zhao Feiyan glanced at them and was about to say that they couldn't finish them for two people, but when she thought of Zhang Haonan's appetite, she immediately shut up.

After eating the steaming delicious food, my whole body felt warm and full of happiness.

Xilihulu eats noodles in a big way. The marinade is quite good and the beef is even more solid. The three yuan without the beef is absolutely worth it, but it only costs eight yuan with the addition.

I had a piece of meat, but it didn't taste as good as the well-known old restaurant in Runzhou, but again, the ingredients were solid, and the boss didn't have top-notch craftsmanship, but he could use top-notch care.

And it’s not particularly tricky, it’s definitely a delicious snack.

"Add a little vinegar and try again."

Picking up the vinegar saucer and pouring it into the soup dumpling, Zhang Haonan watched Zhao Feiyan take a bite. For an instant, his eyes seemed to light up. His big eyes were now sparkling.

He didn't say anything, his eyes were the highest praise.

"The balsamic vinegar is not bad, the meat is not a dish, and the noodle pot is covered with a lid... When you come to Jiankang to study in the future, I will take you to Runzhou next door to eat authentic food."

"This is authentic too!"

The boss wearing a hat and apron stood in the aisle not far away with an unconvinced look on his face, "Absolutely authentic!"

When he came out of the back kitchen to take a breath, he didn't mean to eavesdrop. He put the half-touched cigarette back in his mouth, and then said to Zhang Haonan again: "I'm sure this is authentic!"

"Haha, it's true. I said something wrong. Don't be angry, boss."

"Um."

The dissatisfied boss nodded, took two steps out, turned around and said again, "It's really authentic!"

Phew!

Zhao Feiyan was amused by the boss. She just took a bite of the noodles and almost spit them out.

"..."

The boss walked out very speechlessly, then squatted in a corner to smoke, took a sip and looked inside, mumbling something.

After a while, another guest came in. He quickly stubbed out the cigarette, patted the smoke with his hand, and carefully placed the half-smoked cigarette on the stone pier in the corner. After a while, he would come back and smoke again.

When entering the kitchen, the boss glanced at Zhang Haonan's table, then went into the back kitchen to wash his hands, cut another plate of meat, and then shouted: "Guifen, serve the dishes, from the young man's table."

"The meat has been served."

"I invited you."

"..."

The landlady was also speechless, but she still brought the meat over.

"Boss, I don't have..."

"Sent."

The landlady spoke quietly for fear of being heard by other customers.

"thank you."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. Come here more often."

After the boss lady left, Zhao Feiyan was very curious: "Why did you give it away?"

"Maybe you look pretty."

"..."

Zhao Feiyan immediately blushed again, and quietly glared at Zhang Haonan, and then heard him smile softly and say: "This boss has this kind of character. You can say that his cooking is not delicious, but you cannot say that his cooking is not authentic... "

"why?"

“If it’s not delicious, it’s because of his poor craftsmanship. If it’s not authentic, it’s because of the ingredients he uses...”

Zhang Haonan smiled and said, "Do you think this boss is okay?"

"That's indeed okay."

Zhao Feiyan nodded, feeling in her heart that this was considered very persistent and ethical, right?
