M I H G Chapter 194: Luo Tian Yi's appetite.
Jinling's food is
very famous; after all, it has been a prosperous place since ancient times. It
turns out that not far from where Frank lived, there was a snack street, and
most of the snack bars on both sides were well-known old shops. Frank took Luo
Tian Yi to the corner of the snack street, bought a pair of large blue-rimmed
sunglasses from a small vendor for ten Yuan, and gave them to him.
"Put this on
and you'll see."
"Thank you
for the gift." Luo Tian Yi politely took the sunglasses and put them on
his face.
As a girl who is
only 1.56 meters tall, Luo Tian Yi's face is actually very small. After wearing
sunglasses, a third of her face was covered.
"It's fun to
see the world wearing them." Luo Tian Yi expressed his fondness for the
sunglasses, which only cost ten Yuan.
Of course, it
wasn't Frank was hesitant to spend the money to buy a better pair of sunglasses
for Luo Tian Yi. First of all, it's only for a week and not necessary. Second,
Frank has a hunch that Luo Tian Yi's arrival will permanently reduce his
recently earned 20,000 Yuan. After all, misers aren't called that for nothing.
In the quaint
alley, Frank and Luo Tian Yi walked to a store. The store brought a menu. Luo
Tian Yi looked at the dishes on the menu, struggling to choose.
"Why don't
you try?" Frank asked cautiously.
"Alright;
alright," Luo Tian Yi immediately nodded cheerfully to Frank. This girl
must have been waiting for Frank's words for a long time.
"Let's order
three dishes first, then order more after eating them."
To be honest,
Frank really didn't know how big Luo Tian Yi's appetite was, so he ordered
three dishes first. Soon these three dishes were served at the same time.
The first course
was sautéed green peppers, bamboo shoots, and pulled pork with soybeans, which
can be considered a small stir-fry. However, whether it was green beans or
bamboo shoots, they were exceptionally fresh and tender.
Frank took a bite,
and when he was about to take a second bite with his chopsticks, he saw the
full plate on the table, become as if it had been licked by a large cat. He
slapped his forehead and looked at Luo Tian Yi embarrassed and immediately knew
where all the food went.
Indeed, the speed
at which a person eats cannot be measured by the size of the mouth, like
hamsters.
Luckily, by then
the second course was served; a yellow croaker fried rice cake. The fish meat
was delicious with no fishy smell, the sugar was just right, not greasy or
sweet, and the soup was very thick in color.
But as usual,
Frank only took a few bites of this dish, and Luo Tian Yi brushed off the rest.
This sweet-looking girl was terribly overbearing when it came to eating. When
eating with her, you probably need the fastest hand speed and chew speed to
grab food.
The third course
was Jinling Roast Duck. There was a red marinade on the duck meat, which
smelled great. Many people probably don't know the famous Imperial Roast Duck
evolved from the Jinling Roast Duck.
However,
objectively speaking, regarding the crispiness of the skin, the Jinling Roast
Duck was not as good as the Imperial Roast Duck. In terms of its freshness,
tenderness, and juicy taste, it is slightly inferior to Cantonese roast duck.
For its taste alone, the Jinling Roast Duck is just average. However, after
sprinkling it with a bag of red brine, the crispy and tender meat filled with
sour and sweet brine, will reveal the color, aroma, and flavor, and the
fragrant taste made you want not to stop to eat.
So for this dish,
Frank only had time to tear off a piece of duck meat, and Luo Tian Yi brushed
off the rest.
Luo Tian Yi, who
had eaten cleanly, put the tips of the chopsticks in her mouth as if she still
had something to say.
"Do you want
another one?"
Frank turned his
head and looked into the curious eyes of the diners around him, but he didn't
pay much attention. After all, there was already a Mi Zi the Fat Belly King,
even if he stops eating to do research, it won't be Luo Tian Yi's turn.
"No
need." Luo Tian Yi quickly shook her head when she heard Frank's words,
then continued, "Let's eat the rest of the menu, the other delicious
food."
There was a total
of 26 distinctive dishes on the menu, and Luo Tian Yi ate them one by one. When
Frank went to check, he was greeted by the cashier's enthusiastic face.
I guess what he
was thinking was, if there is such a client every day, he reckoned a house
could be won in less than a year.
But what Frank
didn't tell her was that this restaurant was just their starting point, and the
endpoint depended on how much food Luo Tian Yi could eat.
After taking a few
steps, Luo Tian Yi saw beef pot stickers on the street and immediately took
Frank there.
Beef pot stickers
were a popular kind of snack, and they were available in many places, but beef
pot stickers in Jinling are slightly different.
When making Beef
Potsticker in Jinling, a large amount of rapeseed oil will be poured into them,
and then they will be boiled with heavy oil over high heat. When the skin is
very, very crispy, it will be removed from the jar. When it's cold enough to be
palatable, the mouth should go down and the flavor is full. Before the hard
skin can be swallowed, the fragrant soup has already flowed into the taste
buds.
Luo Tian Yi ate twenty
Beef Potstickers in a row, before the store persuaded her to eat less, so as
not to bloat her stomach.
They moved to the
duck oil pastry shop nearby.
This kind of
shortbread with duck oil is made in a frying pan, and it must be eaten straight
out of the oven, otherwise, it will not taste well when it was cold.
"Mr. Frank,
do you want one?" Luo Tian Yi finally remembered Frank and stuffed duck
oil shortbread into his mouth with one hand and handed a piece to Frank with
the other.
"You can just
call me Frank from now on. It sounds weird calling me Mr. Frank." Frank
took the duck shortbread and stuffed it into his mouth. After taking a bite,
the fragrant sesame seeds were immediately rolled into her mouth by her tongue.
... ...
When you come to
Jinling, you have to eat crawfish. There are more than 8,000 crawfish shops in
Jinling, and there are more than a dozen flavors of crawfish. Crayfish is to
the Jinlings what pot of beef is to the Shantous. And what about a roast duck
with duck neck and legs, salted duck with salted duck? Oh, these are Chongqing
people's small noodles for Jinling people.
After all, for the
duck, except for the feathers which can only be made into down jackets, the
other parts of the duck are Jinling people's delicacies, and even the duck
bones will not be spared.
... ...
So, over the next
three days, Frank took Luo Tian Yi to various restaurants, eating all of
Jinling's uniquely flavored ducks and crayfish.
Wednesday night
was the day of Luo Tian Yi's concert, Frank has already refunded the ticket, and
after all, he couldn't attend with Luo Tian Yi.
But unexpectedly,
when they were sitting in a taxi and rushing to a famous snack bar, Lin Yue
called by phone.
"Brother,
help me!" Lin Yue's voice sounded.
"What's
wrong?" asked Frank.
"There's
something wrong with the concert equipment, and the big screen is broken."
"Can't the
concert be postponed?" Frank lifted his watch and glanced at it, and saw
that at this point it was already forty minutes into the concert.
"Brother,"
Lin Yue's voice came: "The problem is that my concert here broke down
halfway, and it can't be rescheduled. Now there's a lot of noise here, and I
doubt that if I stop now people will be trampled to death backstage."
