"Okay!" Tang Wulin smiled, he was already hungry.
Stuffed beef is a delicacy cooked in a brown-yellow crock pot. The beef is washed and stewed with green onion and ginger slices. The crock pot is very good at locking the moisture and delicious taste of the beef. After the beef changes color, add More than a dozen kinds of spices are stewed for a long time until the beef is completely crispy. The flavor of the spices has been perfectly integrated with the beef. It is a famous snack in Donghai City.
The shop is not big, the stove is outside, there are nearly a hundred small fire holes on it, and the earthen pot of stewed beef is placed on it. The lid of the earthen pot on the top of the steaming beef aroma is not buzzing, and the aroma also takes the opportunity to slip out to lure the passers-by. .
There are only five small rectangular tables in the shop, and there are at most twenty people sitting there, half of which are already seated at this time.
It is late autumn now, and the temperature outside is not high. As soon as you enter the store, you will be greeted by the warmth and the aroma of beef, which immediately makes you feel comfortable all over your body.
Gu Yue glanced at Xie Xie in surprise, "I didn't expect the young master from a rich family to eat at roadside shops!"
Xie Xie didn't quarrel with her this time, "Mom used to love the stuffed beef in this store, and I come here every once in a while." He said, and he had already walked in. Sat down at the innermost table.
Tang Wulin touched Gu Yue, then walked in and sat down opposite Xie Xie.
"Hey, Xie Xie is here, and he brought friends. Is it still the same?" The boss is a middle-aged uncle with a greasy apron around his waist and a smile on his face.
"Well, thank you, Uncle Li." Xie Xie smiled.
Soon, three servings of stuffed beef, three bowls of rice, and two side dishes made of green vegetables were delivered.
"It's the first time you've brought friends here, and I'll give you some small dishes." Uncle Li said with a smile, and then patted Xie Xie's head, as if treating his nephew.
Tang Wulin looked at Xie Xie in surprise. Xie Xie was a clean freak. His bed was always the cleanest in the dormitory. But at this time, facing the touch of the street shop owner, he not only did not avoid , but with a smile on his face, "Thank you, Uncle Li."
Whether it was Tang Wulin or Gu Yue, the image of Xie Xie in this state was subversive.
Xie Xie said: "What are you waiting for? Eat quickly." While speaking, he had already lifted the lid of the earthen jar in front of him, and the inside of the earthen jar immediately exuded a strong aroma of beef. The soup was dark golden, and you could see Cut the beef into small pieces one by one. Xie Xie touched it with chopsticks, and immediately, the beef was crispy.
Carefully took out a piece and put it on the white rice, and then ate it with the white rice, his face was full of enjoyment.
Tang Wulin couldn't bear it long ago, and started to eat like Xie Xie.
"It's delicious." He exclaimed, it's really delicious, the beef's strong aroma, with the soup, the fresh and salty aroma is neutralized by the rice, it's perfect.
Gu Yue took a bite and couldn't help but feel moved.
It is such a small shop, with dim lights, dilapidated tables and chairs, but it has amazing food. Beef, thick soup, side dishes, rice, all warm after eating.
The three of them had trained together for three months, and the atmosphere at this time was obviously much more harmonious than in the academy.
"Uncle Li, let's have ten more servings." Xie Xie greeted Uncle Li, because he really knew someone's appetite too well.
Tang Wulin scratched his head in embarrassment, "Thank you."
"Why?" Xie Xie looked up at him.
Tang Wulin said helplessly, "Your name is really bad. I was talking about thank you."
Xie Xie suddenly smiled bitterly, his eyes were slightly red, "My name was given by my mother, and my mother told me that the reason why she gave me this name was because of her gratitude for that encounter. She said that the most beautiful thing in her life The happy thing is that I met my father at that time. But..." At this point, his face suddenly became a little pale, and the hands holding the chopsticks were visibly strained.
"Your mother?" Tang Wulin asked hesitantly. Although he could tell that Xie Xie's family was rich, this was the first time he heard Xie Xie mention his family's affairs.
Xie Xie pursed his lips, "Father is busy all day long, even when my mother was seriously ill, he was on the go. Before my mother passed away, her last wish was to see him, but he came back late. I will never forget that night, my mother let go of my hand with tears and regret in her eyes. I hate him, I hate him! I also hate my name. If there is no encounter, Mom probably wouldn't…”
Having said that, he slammed down on the table.
Coming here, he seemed to have let go of all the pretense he had made of arrogance, and this was the first time he had confided his heart to others.
At this moment, Uncle Li brought over a new stuffed canned beef. While laying it on the table, he sighed, "This child is so pitiful. His mother used to like to bring him here. Then his mother left, and he came by himself. Every time I think of my mother, don't blame him Ah! It’s rare to see him bring friends here, and I’m so happy for him. This kid is young, but his mind is very heavy. Please help him, hey, what a crime!”
Tang Wulin patted Xie Xie's back. Gu Yue sat there in a daze, looking at the crying Xie Xie, something gradually appeared in her eyes.
"Hey, don't cry. I take back what I said earlier, I'll let you treat me today." Gu Yue kicked Xie Xie who was opposite.
Xie Xie raised his head and wiped the water from his eyes with his sleeve, "I smell like copper!"
Gu Yue curled her lips, "Little brat is quite vengeful."
Xie Xie said angrily: "You are the same age as me, and the month is younger than me, right? I'm a brat, what are you? A brat girl?"
Gu Yue opened a new earthen pot, bowed his head and started to eat, while eating, he said, "Don't quarrel with the crying guy. Woohoo, it's delicious."
When the three of them left the Porky Beef Shop, Uncle Li looked at their backs and couldn't help sighing, "The children of today are so delicious!"
A meal of stuffed beef not only brought satisfaction and warmth to the three of Tang Wulin, but also brought the three of them closer invisibly.
Then there are salt-roasted prawns. Fresh prawns are pierced with bamboo sticks, grilled over charcoal fire, and sprinkled with salt foam. It couldn't be simpler, but it is full of the delicious taste of the sea.
Tang Wulin fully demonstrated the demeanor of the God of Cookery. The three of them ate from one end of the snack street to the other, full of laughter.
"It's a good meal." Gu Yue supported Tang Wulin's shoulder, while Xie Xie, on the other side, also supported his shoulder.
Tang Wulin smiled and said, "If you can't stomach enough, don't learn from the God of Cookery."
Xie Xie rolled his eyes, "What kind of food god, you are a foodie. I wanted to say it the first time I saw you eating a lot."
Tang Wulin snorted coldly, "Let's go, then eat, anyway, you treat."
Xie Xie said in amazement: "Can you still eat?" This guy has just been on the way, and the total amount of food he ate must have been a cow, right
Tang Wulin said proudly: "That is!"
"Hey! What's going on over there?" Gu Yue said suddenly.
Tang Wulin and Xie Xie looked up, and there seemed to be some commotion at the entrance of the snack street, surrounded by many people.
That location seems to be the stuffy canned beef shop!
