My good grandson, this time it’s up to you! On the way back, Grandma Lu made a joke.
Yes, yes, grandma still feels sorry for me. I can save a lot of money this time!
That's a favor given by others. We should remember this favor and help him if he can help with anything in the future.
Got it, grandma, don't worry, grandma, I'm happy today, how about we go eat mutton to celebrate. I'm not satisfied with you always saying, I've been thinking about this bite for a long time, let's go and try it.
You just paid the rent and you still have money in your hand. Grandma Lu asked Jiang Yan all the way.
Don’t worry, grandma, your good grandson’s family is rich! Jiang Yan patted his chest and said to Grandma Lu.
Okay, let's be extravagant.
Please, please. After Jiang Yan said this, he went up to help Grandma Lu like a dog leg.
Grandma Lu squinted her eyes and enjoyed the process.
Of course, if you want to eat shabu-shabu, you have to go to Donglaishun. The shabu-shabu in Donglaishun is very famous throughout Sijiu City.
The mutton inside is all mutton purchased from Inner Mongolia, and the sheep drink spring water every day. By eating grass and herbs, there is no odor in the whole body.
And Master Dong Laishun's knife skills are also extremely good. He can cut the mutton as thin as a cicada's wing, the kind that can transmit light. He has been coming to Sijiucheng for almost three months. Jiang Yan has long wanted to come and taste it, but I have always been busy, so this time I just happened to be on my way.
Dong Laishun's shop is on the edge of Houhai, not far from Uncle Sun's house. After walking for about ten minutes, we arrived at the hotel.
I don’t know if you are looking for someone or eating, but the waiter greeted you as soon as you entered.
Jiang Yan frowned when he heard the waiter's question. Why didn't he look like a eater?
Looking back at Grandma Lu next to her, she suddenly realized that she had forgotten her age again.
But yes, I and Grandma Lu are one old and the other young. The older one is over fifty years old and the younger one is ten years old. They are dressed in ordinary clothes. They don’t look like rich people. No wonder they ask like this.
Jiang Yan took out two oceans from his pocket, shook them at the waiter, and said: You two, find me a quiet place.
okay! Please invite this young man and his wife. As he spoke, he welcomed Jiang Yan and the others in very enthusiastically.
I didn't know what you two wanted to eat. As soon as we sat down, the waiter wiped the table with a towel on his shoulder and asked.
Before Jiang Yan could say anything, the old lady who sat down said to the waiter, "Let's have a plate of cucumber sticks, two plates of brains, and a plate of lamb tenderloin. For vegetarian dishes, just pick out a few seasonal fresh vegetables. Let's have two servings." Your own secret sauce.
My dear grandson, what else do you want to order? Grandma Lu asked Jiang Yan after ordering.
Then add a side.
okay! The guest officer waited a moment. After saying this, the waiter walked towards the counter.
Grandma, is everything you order mutton? How did I not hear it being said.
It's impossible for Jiang Yan from later generations to have never eaten mutton. Shabu-shabu and hot pot are Jiang Yan's favorites. Naturally, he eats beef and mutton every time. However, mutton from later generations is just mutton, so it can't be divided so finely.
You didn’t know this! After taking a sip of water, Grandma Lu opened her mouth leisurely. When we people in Sijiu City cook mutton, we divide the whole sheep into eight major parts. These eight parts are cucumber strips, lamb tenderloin, lamb upper brain, lamb tendon, and lamb. Grinding the crotch, the sheep's three forks, one head sinking, the sheep's tendons.
The cucumber strip is the inner thigh part of the lamb's hind leg, a piece of meat with two colors. Connected to the crotch meat, it looks like two connected cucumbers. The meat is light red in color, tender in texture, moderately fat and lean, and has a tender and smooth taste. It is the favorite of many people in Laosijiucheng.
On both sides of the sheep's spine, there are small strips of meat close to the back of the spine, with slender fibers. The meat in this part is thin and easy to cook for a long time. Purely lean and tender in taste.
The upper brain of sheep is called "upper brain" because it is close to the sheep's head. The fat in this part of the meat is evenly mixed and distributed like marble spots, and the texture is relatively tender.
Just as he was talking, the pot was brought up, and along with the pot was a small dish of sheep tail oil.
Before Jiang Yan could ask what the sheep tail oil was for, Grandma Lu poured it all into the pot.
Sheep tail oil is what adds to the flavor of shabu-shabu. Look how thin the mutton is.
Jiang Yan added a slice of chopped mutton. The mutton was indeed as thin as a cicada's wings. You could clearly see the texture of the meat. He brushed it in the pot for a few seconds and applied their own secret seasoning. It felt really good in your mouth. My mouth is full of fragrance, and a sense of satisfaction rises in my heart.
Jiang Yan was taking care of Grandma Lu while eating tender mutton, and soon everything on the table was cleared.
During the meal, Jiang Yan also secretly observed Grandma Lu. Her posture showed that she came from a wealthy family, and she was eating something called Elegance.
The noodles in broth were really good, even Grandma Lu couldn't help but eat a bowl.
After eating everything, the two of them drank a bowl of soup. Jiang Yan stood up and walked towards the counter.
After settling the bill, Jiang Yan supported Grandma Lu and left Donglaishun.
Grandma, the food here is good. We will come here often in the future. After leaving the door, Jiang Yan looked back and said to Grandma Lu.
You little monkey, you still want to come here to eat every day, but you can't survive this day, you are a landlord and a rich man! You haven’t looked at what the situation is like now. How many people in the entire Sijiu City have no food to eat, yet you still want to come here every day.
Grandma likes to eat meat. Calculate how much meat we can eat this time. Can’t we just buy it and cook it ourselves? Besides, you just spent money to buy that small yard, how much can you have left over?
My dear grandson, your courtyard house cannot be inhabited and needs to be tidied up. You have not calculated how much money it will cost. I think you are really careless about your head and body.
After saying this, Grandma Lu patted Jiang Yan on the head.
Don’t worry, grandma, your grandson still has money! Just come here every day and eat enough to last for several years. I am not short of money for your grandson.
As soon as he said this, chaos broke out on the street. A large group of wounded soldiers came to the street. When they arrived on the street, the wounded soldiers began to look for something to eat. Suddenly, the street became chaotic. Seeing these people, Jiang Yan quickly took Grandma Lu and hid in a safe place.
Is that the good grandson Xiao Zhuzhu? Jiang Yan heard Grandma Lu's words and looked in the direction of her finger.
He saw He Yuzhu running forward hurriedly with a cage in his hands, followed by two cursing wounded soldiers.
Yo ho! Jiang Yan was familiar with this scene! Jiang Yan felt happy when he thought of this. This was He Yuzhu's famous scene and the origin of Shazhu's name.
My dear grandson, this pillar is in danger, go and have a look, Grandma Lu said, patting Jiang Yan.
Grandma, what will you do if I go? Jiang Yan replied.
It's okay. Grandma, I haven't seen anything at this age. These wounded soldiers can't hurt me. You go to Zhuzi first. I'll go home. I'll wait for you at home. You have to be careful. Besides, grandma is not a vegetarian. people.
Grandma, I still have this thing. They have to look at the Buddha's face even if they don't look at the monk's face. They won't embarrass me. After speaking, Grandma Lu took out the tripod medals one by one from her arms.
Seeing this medal, Jiang Yan remembered that Grandma Lu's eldest son was once a member of the government army. However, although he was a member of the government army, his heart was red. In the climate of the Anti-Japanese War, he helped the Red Party troops. With this medal, it is estimated that these wounded soldiers will also take some care of their incense.
So Jiang Yan felt relieved. At this time, Grandma Lu spoke again, and she still said the same thing, trying not to hurt anyone as much as possible. It's not easy for people who were raised by their parents.
After saying that, Grandma Lu turned and walked into an alley. Seeing Grandma Lu's leaving figure, Jiang Yan gritted his teeth, got up and walked in the direction where He Yuzhu ran.
