Chapter 482: Donkey Meat on Fire
Donkey meat roasting is a famous traditional snack, which is relatively common in North China. Historical records record that it originated in Baofu in the early Ming Dynasty. Baofu is right next to Peiping, but it was the first time for Jiang Feng to see donkey meat being burned in Peiping.
Youdao is dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat in the earth. Donkey meat is not only delicious but also nourishes blood, qi, and deficiency. If you want to rank the many meats that can be put on the cutting board or put into the iron pot, donkey meat is definitely the best. Be among the best. I don't know whether it was due to geographical reasons or eating habits, but Jiang Feng had never eaten donkey meat dishes in so many years in City Z and City A. Let alone eating, he had never even seen a donkey.
Today, Ji Xia brought me an eye-opener.
Following the route indicated by the navigation system, Jiang Feng and the other two people walked out of the subway station and took countless twists and turns, passing through an alley in the middle. Finally, they found the donkey meat barbecue restaurant recommended by Master Wang.
The shop has no name, not even a signboard. The door is wide open. Standing at the door, you can smell the aroma of donkey meat being slowly stewed inside.
The door was very narrow, and the store was also very narrow. Jiang Feng walked in and found that although the store was narrow, there was something wonderful inside. The shop was narrow and long, and although it didn't look very big, it was packed with a lot of tables. Jiang Feng counted a total of 9 tables. Each table is made of wood, and the accompanying chairs are long benches, which look very similar to the tables and chairs specially provided for inns in martial arts movies.
There are not many customers, only about 10, which is already a very considerable amount of customers at 9 o'clock on a working day.
The stall selling donkey meat for barbecue was set up at the door. There was only a middle-aged woman in the stall who looked to be in her forties or fifties. She was wearing an apron and sleeves and was cutting the donkey meat into pieces with a sharp knife and stuffing it into the stove. She looked like this. The proprietress of the shop.
There seems to be a small kitchen behind the table, with a small window and a small door. The small window is the serving table, and there is a plate of freshly cooked fire-roasted food on the table.
When the landlady saw Jiang Feng and the others coming in, she looked up at them and asked, "How many do you want?"
Jiang Feng looked around and found that he didn't see the price list. He hesitated: "3."
Seeing Jiang Feng, the proprietress said nothing more: "This is your first time. Do you want to eat green peppers and donkey intestines?"
It's probably because there aren't many customers in the store yet, so the landlady still had time to ask Jiang Feng and the others about their tastes.
Jiang Feng looked at Wu Minqi and Ji Xia. They both had no problem, and said, "Eat."
"It's 24 yuan. Scan the code over there. There should be some space inside." The lady boss pointed inside, "Wait a moment and I'll call you."
Jiang Feng went to scan the QR code and pay. Wu Minqi and Ji Xia found a table closer to the inside and sat down. As soon as she sat down, Ji Xia couldn't wait to say to Wu Minqi: "Sister Wu, have you ever eaten donkey meat on fire? I just smelled it there and it smelled so good!"
Wu Minqi smiled: "The donkey meat looks like it has just been fished out of the braised pot. Of course it is delicious."
"Sister Wu, since this donkey meat is so delicious, why haven't I seen it in the kitchen before?" Ji Xia asked.
"Yes. On New Year's Day, the new Master Wang and Master Zhou Shizhou added donkey meat to some of their dishes. It's just that the donkey meat has not been braised, so it doesn't smell as good as it just did. "Xiang Xiaxia, you just didn't notice." Wu Minqi said with a smile, "Xiaxia, when you finish cutting the vegetables and start cutting the meat, you can touch the donkey meat."
While the two were talking, Jiang Feng came over with two bowls of donkey soup.
"I just asked the proprietress what special dishes they have in the store. The proprietress said that donkey offal soup is not bad. It's not expensive at 5 yuan a bowl, so I bought a bowl for each of you." Jiang Feng said while the soup was still steaming. He put the donkey offal soup on the table and pushed one bowl towards Ji Xia, "Xia Xia hasn't had breakfast yet. Let's drink a bowl of soup to warm up."
"Thank you, Master." Ji Xia took a big sip of the soup and praised, "It tastes good."
Jiang Feng nodded without sitting down: "I'll get my own bowl, Qiqi Xiaxia, you drink first."
The boss lady had already prepared the donkey meat soup and put it on the table, letting Jiang Feng serve it himself. The landlady was busy cutting donkey meat and handling other things by herself. When Jiang Feng went to bring the soup, the landlady was shouting out the window.
"Lao He, call Xiaoyue quickly. It's already 9 o'clock. Xiaojiang will be here soon. If Xiaoyue doesn't come, who will talk to him!"
"I got it, don't worry, I can just call Xiaoyue now, be careful not to hurt your voice by shouting." A deep middle-aged man's voice came from the kitchen.
"Young men, the three of you are ready. I'll put it on the plate and you can take it over with me." The landlady returned to normal volume.
Jiang Feng made a fire in his left hand and donkey soup in his right hand. He returned to his seat, put the fire in the center of the table, sat down and drank the soup first.
There aren't many ingredients in the donkey offal soup, it's just a shallow layer at the bottom. It's full of heart, liver, stomach and lungs, and it's delicious. Jiang Feng had just walked on the road for nearly half an hour in the cold wind, and his face was numb from the wind. When he entered the store, the door of the store was open and it was not very warm even with the heater.
After half a bowl of donkey soup, Jiang Feng regained his composure.
By the time Jiang Feng started eating the donkey meat in the huoshao, Ji Xia had already finished eating half of it. She had already eaten all the donkey meat in the huoshao and was now starting to nibble on the huoshao carefully.
Jiang Feng could tell just from the huoshao that Ji Xia was chewing that the proprietress must have poured donkey meat soup into the huoshao.
Jiang Feng picked up the donkey meat and grilled it and took a bite. The skin was crispy on the outside and there were many layers inside. The layers were soft and thin and soaked in the donkey meat's soup. It can be described as fresh, crispy and tender. The donkey meat is moderately salty and minced very finely. It is also mixed with green peppers and donkey intestines. It tastes quite chewy, but not so chewy that it is not chewy.
Although it was Jiang Feng's first time to eat roasted donkey meat, he could still appreciate that the chef who cooked the roasted and braised donkey meat was very skillful and experienced. While eating, he even came up with a Ling Guangzhao-like idea that it would be better to take him to Tai Feng Tower. This idea was strangled in the cradle after Jiang Feng ate a whole donkey meat and burned it.
Donkey meat barbecue is a snack, and snacks have their own place to survive. A hotel of the size of Tai Feng Building is not suitable for the development of donkey meat barbecue.
After finishing the meal, Jiang Feng finished the remaining half of the bowl of donkey offal soup. Not a single offal was left at the bottom of the bowl. After drinking, the bowl was as clean as if it had just been washed.
Not only Jiang Feng, but also Wu Minqi and Ji Xia. Three bowls and an empty plate were placed neatly on the table. This was a silent tribute to the master's craftsmanship in this store.
"Master, I want to drink another bowl of soup." Ji Xia looked at Jiang Feng longingly.
Jiang Feng also had this intention: "Okay, Xia Xia, just wait, I'll go see what other soups this store has besides donkey soup. Qiqi, do you want another bowl?"
Wu Minqi shook her head reservedly.
Just when Jiang Feng and the others were eating donkey meat, three more tables of customers came to the store and filled the remaining three tables. Jiang Feng got up and went to the counter to ask the landlady if she had any other soups. Before he could say anything, a package hurriedly arrived from the store. It was more tightly wrapped than Wu Minqi's. He looked fatter than Jiang Zaide, the heaviest person in the Jiang family. Somewhat young man.
"The boss lady will bring me 6 hotpots, a bowl of donkey meat soup, and a platter of half a catty of donkey meat and half a catty of donkey offal." He opened his mouth and knew that he was a strong man.
It's just that the voice of this strong man is really familiar.
Jiang Feng looked at this strong man. He was wearing a thick military green down jacket that looked like a military coat. He was wrapped tightly with a hat, mask, earmuffs, scarf and gloves, and his eyes were exposed on his entire face. Counting a few decades forward, such a person would definitely be reported by the enthusiastic masses if he appeared in Peiping City.
"Brother De?" Jiang Feng called out uncertainly.
Jiang Zaide can wrap himself up into such a big ball of flesh. It seems that he has stuffed all the upper-body winter clothes in the wardrobe with this posture.
"Brother!" Jiang Zaide was very surprised. He took off his mask and lowered his scarf to reveal his familiar fat face. "You also come to this store to eat donkey meat on fire!"
"Xiao Jiang?" The landlady also exclaimed, "Why are you dressed like this today? I almost didn't recognize you. You go over there and sit down and wait. I'll call you. Xiaoyue hasn't come here yet. I'll wait for her when she comes." Ask her to talk to you about business again.”
"Okay." Jiang Zaide skilfully scanned the QR code and paid without even asking the lady boss to quote the price.
"Madam boss, I also want two bowls of donkey meat soup." After Jiang Feng finished speaking, he turned to Jiang Zaide and said, "Brother De, Xia Xia and Qiqi are sitting inside, and there happens to be a place where we can sit at the same table."< br>
A few minutes later, Jiang Feng and Jiang Zaide returned to their seats with donkey meat soup and a platter of donkey meat and donkey offal. Two large plates of donkey meat and donkey offal were placed in the middle of the table, replacing the previously empty plates.
The fire is still in the pot, so I have to wait a little longer.
"Come to Xiaxia, the donkey meat and donkey offal here are very good, eat more." Jiang Zaide greeted warmly.
"Thank you, uncle!" Ji Xia stretched out his chopsticks happily. (End of chapter)
