She was so well-behaved and he was in a good mood.
Gu Xinyao felt that she had something to ask for, so she didn't say anything and followed Jiang Nanxing to a time-honored restaurant that had been improved by the Jiang family.
The name is still the same, but the decoration style is very different from before.
"How's it going? I'm not just bringing you here to eat today. You have to observe everything here carefully. I will test you later." After Jiang Nanxing finished speaking, he walked in first.
They sat down in the corner of the hall under the arrangement of the service staff.
The manager was very surprised to see Jiang Nanxing, so he came over personally and asked, "Mr. Jiang is on a private patrol incognito..."
"Don't be nervous, I'm just bringing a friend over to try our special modified dishes." Jiang Nanxing said.
"Then I'll arrange a private room for you!" The manager continued to say cautiously: "The environment in the hall is quite noisy, so I'm afraid that you two will have a meal..."
"It's okay, just sit here and go about your business." After Jiang Nanxing finished speaking, he motioned for the manager to leave.
The manager followed Jiang Nanxing's instructions and served several unique and improved dishes in the store.
It didn't take much effort and the food was served.
Gu Xinyao had eaten several traditional dishes before, but the dishes that were served now had the same name, but the appearance was very different.
"Try it!" Jiang Nanxing said while helping Gu Xinyao arrange the dishes.
Gu Xinyao took a sip and frowned slightly.
"How is it?" Jiang Nanxing asked.
"The taste is different from what I had before." Gu Xinyao said.
"What you are eating has been improved, and it is more inclined to the taste that young people like today." Jiang Nanxing said.
"I really can't agree with the casual change of things passed down by time-honored brands." Gu Xinyao put down her chopsticks and said: "Those traditional flavors are not only good for the taste buds, but also carry feelings. For example, "Yanjing Chronicles" It writes: "Saqima is made of rock sugar, butter and white flour. It is shaped like glutinous rice. It is baked in a non-ash wood oven and turned into cubes. It is sweet and edible. Shaqima was an important snack at that time. According to "Guangxu Shuntianfu Chronicles", "Selima is a snack for Lamas. It is made in today's shops. It is made of noodles mixed with fruits, steamed with sugar and lard, and is very delicious. At that time, the Taihua Zhai Pastry Shop in Beixinqiao Saqima butter has the strongest flavor, and it is adjacent to the Royal Temple to the north. The lamas and monks there are the first customers of Taihua Zhai, and they consume a lot of it as an offering before the Buddha."
After talking about this, Gu Xinyao started to talk non-stop, and then said: "After the Qing Dynasty entered the country and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Shunzhi in 1644, Saqima was brought into China by the Manchus from the northeast, and it has become popular in China since then. Saqima is known for its softness and sweetness. , has the advantage of melting in the mouth, and has won people's love. Saqima can resist hunger after being eaten, and is regarded as an excellent walking delicacy by the caravans and camel teams that walk on the ancient road in the west of Beijing all year round. Inadvertently, this Manchu delicacy has become popular along the way. It has spread across the country along the Beijing-West Ancient Road. Saqima has won people's favor for its soft, sweet and melt-in-the-mouth advantages. However, it contains high calories, with a fat content of about 54% or about 200 calories per piece."
"Okay, just like what you said, in the hundreds of years that Saqima has been passed down, it has been improved many times, hasn't it? The improved things are not bad, but it depends on whether the public can accept it. Change, the wheels of history are rolling by... everything is moving forward, there is no retreat." Jiang Nanxing looked into Gu Xinyao's eyes and said.
