Chapter 192 Herb Soup

Ge Xiaohua knows the owner of the authentic Dong Yangba hot pot restaurant in Gaoshan Township, Xunjiang County. He knows that this store uses authentic materials and affordable prices, so it is quite famous in the local area. The most important thing is that Ge Xiaohua is a local and has a close relationship with the owner.

They are acquaintances, so he will not trick White and others. Without Ge Xiaohua to lead the way, the probability of being tricked is still very high.

"White, Mr. Hanwes, what we are going to eat today is a special dish. I guarantee you have never tried it before."

"Hot pot? We have all eaten it." White saw an induction cooker on the table and guessed that it might be hot pot. White and others have all eaten some special hot pot, whether abroad or in China, so it is common for them.

"Have you ever had sheep soup hot pot?" Ge Xiaohua said the ranking of this hot pot in transliteration, and the two foreigners learned it hard.

"Farewell Yang?"

"Yes, mutton soup." Ge Xiaohua nodded and asked Zhao Kang to explain. As a top foreign language student, a former diplomat, and the CEO of a foreign trade company, Zhao Kang should have a new explanation for the names of some of these domestic special foods.

.

"To put it simply, sheep's stomach is the grass juice digested in the sheep's body..."

"Isn't that sheep excrement?"

Hanwei's understanding was pretty good. He swallowed his saliva and seemed a little nauseous.

"What has not been excreted cannot be called excrement, but Baicao decoction!" Ge Xiaohua thought of another name for sheep and cows, and used this to explain.

"Anyway, when I think about it, this is the excrement in the sheep's body, I just..." White was also speechless, frowning, and seemed to have lost his appetite.

In fact, if it is some unscrupulous shop that bullies out-of-town tourists and mixes it with excreted sheep intestines, the taste will be much stronger and the nutrition will not be much. Ge Xiaohua knows that the ingredients in this shop are still very authentic and are obtained from the body of sheep.

The sheep are deflated, which can ensure the preservation of nutrients and taste.

How to explain it, White and Hanwes both think that sheep's excrement is excrement, and they are still disgusted. This is also the idea of ​​​​many Chinese people. After all, "rare things" such as sheep and cows are not acceptable to everyone.

When the bottom of the mutton pot came up, Lao Su, the owner of the hot pot restaurant, said: "Xiaohua, today's pot of mutton soup is made from the black goat I just slaughtered. It is very fresh and tastes authentic. These foreigners will definitely eat it once."

Will come a second time!”

In addition to mutton soup, Boss Su also served several plates of good mutton, haggis, vegetables, etc. It was extremely rich, but because the hot pot soup was glowing green, it was not as red as other hot pots.

Moreover, there is an indescribable "sourness" floating in the air.

After the induction cooker was turned on, the mutton soup boiled quickly, and the taste was even richer. Not only White and Hanwei covered their mouths and noses, but even Zhao Kang couldn't stand it.

Seeing the embarrassment of the three of them, Boss Su laughed loudly and said in Mandarin with a local dialect: "The more you eat the Yangzha hot pot, the more you want to eat it."

"Okay, Lao Su, it's useless for you to force them." Ge Xiaohua took a piece of mutton, replaced it with a hot pot and rinsed it. The green mutton soup looked like ghost fire to White and others, with fear.

Halo, can this kind of food be eaten?

With such doubts, the three of them looked at Ge Xiaohua and ate the mutton cooked in mutton soup without blinking.

Ge Xiaohua chewed slowly, looking like he was enjoying it. After finishing the meal, he said, "The mutton is tender but not irritating. It's delicious. It's delicious."

The mutton soup removes the smell of mutton very well, giving the mutton a grassy aroma. Although the mutton soup has a smell in the air, it is a bit similar to stinky tofu. It smells stinky when you eat it.

It is fragrant, and the Yangqi Decoction clears away heat and detoxifies, and has many traditional Chinese medicine effects, which indeed has a health-care effect on the body.

Sheep and cows both grow up eating grass, so it is not a lie to say that the sheep's flatulence is caused by grass soup. It's just that in order to make money, many businesses now adopt some tricky methods and mix real sheep and cow excrement into it.

This makes the taste less authentic and more like excrement.

A traditional delicacy has to go through the publicity stage and then people actually try it. If the taste is not as expected, it will affect the reputation of the delicacy.

However, nowadays, Chinese people do everything they can to make money. They do violate many moral consciences and engage in adulteration. They may make some money in the short term, but it is not a long-term solution. Repeat customers will basically be wiped out.

Seeing that Ge Xiaohua was eating so deliciously, he filled up another bowl of mutton soup, smelled it, sighed in admiration, and finished the bowl of mutton soup in one gulp...

"Gulong, Gulong"

White was so stimulated that he bravely took out a piece of mutton and put it into the pot. After waiting for a few minutes, the mutton was ripe. White held his nose with one hand and put the mutton in with a fork in the other hand.

in the mouth.

After chewing for a while, the tenderness of the mutton and the aroma of grass exploded on the tip of his tongue. White's eyes lit up and he chewed faster. He quickly swallowed the mutton. At first, he thought it was difficult to swallow, but now it seems that it is still too much.

Think about it.

"It's delicious, Hanweis, come and try it. It's not as bad as you thought, and it won't be so uncomfortable after you get used to the taste. Haven't you ever eaten stinky tofu?"

"Is stinky tofu so delicious?" Hanweis is a loyal stinky tofu lover. When he traveled to China in the early years, he went to Shonan City. At first, he stayed away from the dark and smelly black tofu.

But when he actually ate a piece, Hanweis couldn't stop. He ate several portions and wanted to take some back home. However, he was stopped and the stinky tofu was confiscated.

Due to airline regulations, foods with strong smells such as stinky tofu and durian cannot be brought into the cabin to avoid disturbing other passengers. Although Hanweis had a private plane, he was taking a civilian flight that time.

"Ah? You can't bring stinky tofu back to the UK? Oh my God!" A British Duke of Hanwei actually ate all the stinky tofu in front of the security check at the airport, frightening the security staff...

Ge Xiaohua only heard Zhao Kang mention some secrets of Duke Hanwei later, which was quite interesting, because Ge Xiaohua had only seen this kind of scene at the train station, drinking milk, liquor, etc., in order to avoid wasting farmers.

The worker brother drank the farm rice wine he brought in one gulp, and the middle-aged woman drank a large bottle of milk. These are all real events.

But Ge Xiaohua has never really seen a British Duke eating stinky tofu at the airport to save stinky tofu...

It can be imagined that the scene is still very beautiful, and there is a sense of pride in the comedy, because foreigners have an irresistible attitude towards Chinese food.

"Is it really as delicious as stinky tofu?" After White said this, Hanweis also wanted to try it. Seeing this, Zhao Kang also had to taste it. At first, the three of them didn't even move their chopsticks, but now they all moved their chopsticks.

Of course, White and Hanweis are not very good at using chopsticks. They still use cutlery with knives and forks. This is the cutlery that Ge Xiaohua finally asked Lao Su to find and specially disinfected. It is still rare in rural areas.

Ge Xiaohua's demonstration had a great effect. The three of them started to wolf down their food. Apart from being a little frightened at the beginning, from the moment they ate the first piece of mutton slices, haggis, sesame, etc., they were all welcome, and

At the end of the meal, I drank a bowl of mutton soup.

"Wow, it's so refreshing. The mutton soup has a stomach-warming effect. My stomach has been a little cold recently, and I feel much better after drinking this soup." Zhao Kang said in English. White and Hanwei also agreed very much. It is indeed comfortable for the stomach.
