20 years of spring breeze

Chapter 106 Li Xing
It was almost noon now, Xia Maosheng said with a smile: "Let's go to the hour? Let's celebrate."

Xiaowei said with a smile: "On the hour, on the hour, anyway, there is nothing to do in the afternoon, just come over at noon tomorrow, and I will accompany you on the hour."

The two watched the car cross the road and headed straight for the Bone Museum.

When we arrived at the Bone House, there were no guests in the house. The boss and a man and a woman were sitting at a table in the back, making dumplings. He turned around and saw them coming in, and said, "Here you are? What are you eating today?"

Xia Maosheng walked over with a smile, handed the boss a cigarette and said, "Do you charge money today? If you don't charge, you will win the most expensive one."

The boss patted his hands, took the cigarette with a smile and lit it in Xia Maosheng's hand, and said, "It's a beautiful idea. It's a lot of money. If you like it, you can eat it or not. Oh, today we made dumplings at home. , I'll serve you a plate later, no charge. Right?"

Xia Maosheng said: "Medium, pay attention to it. Come on, get a few good ones. Today we are on the hour. Let's bottle Lingta, and the boss will come and have a drink together."

The boss stood up and said, "Is there anything happy about this? It's done? Okay, on the hour. Let's open the bottle for a hundred years. It's new, and the prescription is not high, okay?"

Xia Maosheng said: "Medium, the alcohol is high enough to drink and suffer, and the low alcohol is just right. Hehe, I can't drink it. Xiaowei, our Lingta here is good wine. Let me tell you, in the entire Northeast, only our Chaoyang wine The wine tastes good and the taste is overbearing."

The boss said on the side: "There is nothing wrong with this. Our baijiu is the foundation of Shanxi Fen Liquor. Fen Liquor has very high requirements on water quality. We are the only ones in the Northeast that can produce the right taste. This distillery started from the Ming Dynasty. At that time, people from Jinxi did it here, using the method of Fenjiu, and finally produced the current Lingta, Lingta was still a tribute wine in the Qing Dynasty."

Xiaowei found a place to sit down and said: "Okay, try it, I haven't studied wine, so I don't drink it well."

The boss sat down next to Xiaowei, handed him a cigarette, and asked, "What's your brother's name? I've been here several times and I still don't know him."

Xiaowei took the cigarette, took out the lighter and lit it himself, and said, "My name is Zhang Wei, from Fengtian Nanhu, boss, what's your name?"

The boss said: "My surname is An, and I'm a common surname here. I've been here for so many lifetimes." He pointed to Xia Maosheng and said, "He knows me. My buddies call me the fifth, and I don't have much ability. , I didn’t go to class, it’s too late to catch up with the good time, set up a small shop, this craft has been passed down from generation to generation, and it ended up being eaten by you brother.”

Xia Maosheng just sat down, and when he heard this, he started laughing and almost sat down on the ground.

Xiaowei glared at Xia Maosheng, and said to the boss, fifth brother: "It doesn't count, the main thing is not eaten, I know there is another thing, but I haven't seen it, I don't know what it is, it should be a bit raw Bitter, your stewed meat is delicious because of this thing, bone meal can only enhance the taste of the soup."

An Laowu gave a thumbs up and said: "Brother, you are born to do this. This kid is still a chef. I haven't eaten a ugly Yinmao in the past few years. I also added ingredients, white beans Kou and Bai Zhi, Baidou Kou can add freshness to the meat, but this thing is a bit special, it can’t be cooked with the meat, you have to wait until the meat is almost cooked before putting it in, and the soup has to be taken out before it comes out of the pot , otherwise it won't work."

Xiaowei thought for a while and said, "Is that traditional Chinese medicine?"

The boss nodded and said, "Yes, traditional Chinese medicine. Aren't all the seasonings we cook with traditional Chinese medicine? Prickly ash, aniseed cinnamon, and ginger are all traditional Chinese medicine. Can Chinese people eat and cook without traditional Chinese medicine?"

Xiaowei asked, "Is the medicine not poisonous?"

The boss smiled and said: "Chinese medicines are all plants, and they are not eaten dry. It is good for the body to put a little less. Like this beancurd, there are several kinds of this thing, and the functions are different. The white beancurd is an appetizer. , promote digestion, do you think it can be harmful?"

Xia Maosheng said: "Yes, appetizing to promote digestion, isn't it just to make people eat more, and it hurts the wallet."

All three of them laughed, and the proprietress who was making dumplings all laughed.

The boss asked: "What do you want to eat today? By the way, I got some mutton yesterday, Ka Zuo's. Shall I make some lamb chops for you?"

Xiaowei nodded and said, "Zhongzhong, this is good."

Xia Maosheng said: "Sauerkraut stew, it's too cold today, eat something warm, and you can watch the rest, just the three of us, four are enough."

The boss agreed, stood up and went to the back to make arrangements, and at this moment the door opened, and two more people came in: "Maosheng? Why did you come to Chaoyang?" Short, with a strong build, he was shaved in winter, wearing a long black fur coat, a navy blue scarf around his neck, and a pair of police hooks on his feet, which are police officer boots.The officer's boots on the army are called military hooks. In fact, the styles of the two shoes are similar, and the toes of the shoes are both wrapped with steel plates.

He greeted Xia Maosheng while taking off the leather gloves on his hand.

Xia Maosheng was lying on the table talking to Xiaowei. Hearing the voice, he turned his head to look over, smiled in surprise and stood up to greet him: "Oh, fuck, why are you here? Come on, let's go together, why are you here? What are you doing here?"

A few people sat down around the table, and the buddy threw his gloves on the table and said, "Come to study, let's take a look at the scene, if you don't come, you can't do it. Oh, this is my colleague, and also a buddy, Liu Huasheng, Watson, this is my buddy , Xia Maosheng, you should have heard of it, right?"

Xia Maosheng and Liu Huasheng nodded and said hello, Xia Maosheng said to Xiaowei: "This is my buddy Li Xing, you can call him Tie Zi, his nickname is Tie Daner, a policeman, his father is from our police station Director. Tiezi, this is Zhang Wei, from Fengtian, by the way, his family uncle is also a policeman. This is the first time I see that Liu Huasheng today."

The two sides got to know each other right away, young people, and chatted in a few words.

After a while, the boss came up with a big steaming bowl and put it on the table. He glanced at Li Xing and said, "Tie Zi is here too, why did you come here? Then you four should be together, I just happen to make dumplings." He took two bottles of Linghe Century from his trouser pocket and put them on the table.

Li Xing said: "What's wrong, fifth brother, you won't be at the table when I come?"

The boss pointed to the side where the dumplings were made and said, "Stop talking nonsense. I'll make the dumplings first, and come over to drink one later, okay? I'll serve it later."

After joking around for a while, the fifth brother of the boss went to make dumplings, and the four of them sat together without saying a word, and one person poured it in four or two first. Xiaowei picked up the wine glass and licked it. It was not very spicy. A little sweet, very mellow.Xia Maosheng said on the side: "How is it? Taste good? Not bragging at all, this is the only fragrance type wine in Northeast China, do you know why our Northeast is all cellar wine? The water is not good, it is light and spicy, and there is no aftertaste. The more you go North Vietnam can't do it, Lao Maozi's wine is just like alcohol."
