Chapter 286: Nothing tastes better than dumplings
After getting up, having breakfast and leaving the hotel, and then going to a nearby collection point to pick up two packages, it was already 9 o'clock in the morning, which was not too late.

In addition, the total distance from Anton to Baishan is only 300 kilometers. With his riding speed, if he rides hard, he can reach it in just one day.

But that would be too intense, and he didn't have time now, so he didn't plan to rush in a hurry, but planned to ride slowly over two days.

And the deeper you go into the Northeast, the lower the temperature will be, and the more scenery you can see. The main purpose of his riding is to see the scenery in various places, and then take pictures of them to show to his fans, so he can’t just rush There was a delay in taking pictures of the scenery.

At the national highway exit of Andong City, Qin Yuan took a sports camera to take a picture of the huge billboard of 'Andong City Welcomes You', and said: "After staying in Andong City for a day, it is time to leave. Yesterday I was in Andong City It was a great pleasure to visit the city.

Here again, I would like to thank our classmate Xiao Liu for his warm hospitality. When I left last night, he gave me a big bag of Andong strawberries.

As expected of the nationally famous Andong strawberries, they have plump grains, bright red color, and a strong milky aroma. Just looking at them makes me full of appetite. I finished a big plate of them by myself last night, and I still have half of them waiting for the road. eat slowly. "

As Qin Yuan spoke, he moved the camera to the Anton strawberry in his hand. Now is the ripening period of Anton strawberry. There are many farmers selling strawberries on the road, and the strawberry sheds are open to the public for picking. You can pick it yourself. Quite fun.

His original plan was to go to the strawberry shed to pick some strawberries by himself, but when he left the hot spring villa yesterday, Liu Shuai gave him a basket, and he has not finished it until today.

In this case, he would not join in the fun. After all, strawberries are not easy to carry. In addition, he was riding a bicycle and it was bumpy, so he was afraid that it would break down in a short time.

After eating a few strawberries to satisfy his craving, he continued riding his bicycle in the direction of Baishan Mountain. Today's temperature was about minus 10 degrees, which was still quite cold.

In addition, the cold wind caused by riding a bicycle cut his cheek like a blade. If it were other people, such harsh conditions would be unbearable.

However, Qin Yuan didn't take it seriously. He wore a Lei Feng hat and a cotton mask. Although he still felt a bit of chill, his physical fitness was completely able to withstand it.

While riding, he continued to use his action camera to record what he saw and heard along the way and the beautiful winter scenery.

"Today's temperature has dropped to minus 10 degrees, which is a bit colder than yesterday. It snowed heavily last night and the roads were seriously covered with snow. Although the municipal government cleared it early in the morning, some places are still frozen. , so I couldn’t ride too fast, I had to take my time.

But it doesn’t matter. This is my first time to spend the winter in Northeast China. Everything here is very novel to me. This kind of riding experience in the snow is also my first time. I have to say, it’s exciting! "Qin Yuan was very happy and said while riding the bike and looking at the camera.

In such a happy mood, he rode vigorously for more than two hours. Then he checked the mileage, but it was only 50 kilometers.

As he said himself, yesterday there was a heavy snowfall, and the snow on the road was very serious, although the road surface of the national highway had been cleared in time.

But because the weather was too cold, the road surface was icy and it was very difficult to ride. Even though he was using professional anti-skid tires, his riding speed still could not reach the previous level.

He rode at an average speed of only 25 kilometers per hour, but even so, he fell a lot along the way. Fortunately, his physical fitness was amazing and he was always able to stabilize his body at the last moment. Didn't cause much damage.

"The time now is 11:50 noon. It has been two and a half hours since I rode out of Andong city, but I have only ridden [-] kilometers. This speed is much slower than before.

But there was nothing we could do about it. The weather was really bad and the road was icy. I didn't dare to ride too fast. I almost fell down just now.

It’s noon and it’s time to eat something to fill my stomach. Before leaving Anton, I bought some frozen dumplings at a roadside supermarket, and now I’m going to cook some dumplings to eat.

I saw an abandoned work shed on the side of the road. It was probably left by the engineering team that built the road before, so I borrowed it first and continued to set off after I was full. "

As Qin Yuan spoke, he pushed his bicycle into an abandoned work shed on the side of the road, then found an unlocked room and walked in.

The room was very empty, with only an abandoned desk inside. The desk was covered with dust. From this look, you could tell that this place had been abandoned for some time.

But apart from dust, there is nothing else. The key is that there is no Ollie, which is quite rare. You must know that abandoned houses on the roadside can easily become public toilets for passers-by.

"This room is quite nice. There is also a table. Once it is cleaned, it can be used as a dining table. It would be nice if we meet it later, so that we have a place to stay at night.

But it’s only 11:[-] noon, so it’s impossible to stay here at night. I have to keep on going! "Qin Yuan took out some toilet paper and wiped the desk clean, then took out his pots and pans and placed them gently on the table.

After finishing all this, he took out the gas stove, placed it on the ground, and lit it directly.

"For this trip to the Northeast, I bought an oil stove online. However, the temperature is not yet high enough to use the oil stove, so I will continue to cook with the gas stove. Okay, let's start the pot. water, and then cook dumplings to eat.”

As he spoke, Qin Yuan took out a large bottle of mineral water from the camel bag and prepared to pour the water into the pot.

But what he didn't expect was that the mineral water he bought two hours ago had frozen into ice lumps and could not be poured out at all.

"Oh my God, I forgot about this. The temperature is too low. The water has frozen. Now I can't pour it out. I have no choice but to cut the bottle open and pour the ice cubes into the pot to heat it. "

Qin Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly. He thought he was fully prepared, but he didn't expect that the extremely cold weather would teach him a lesson. He didn't even think about the issue of drinking water.

With temperatures like this, if you don't use a thermos bottle, even trying to get a sip of water in time is a problem.

As soon as he thought about it, he already had some thoughts in his mind. He must buy a thermos bottle when passing through the town later.

It used to only take a few minutes to boil a pot of water, but now because the ice cubes need to be melted first, the whole process has become quite long. It takes almost 15 minutes to boil a pot of water.

As the gas stove was ignited, the temperature in the room also rose a lot, and it was no longer so cold. Qin Yuan took off his gloves and poured 50 handmade dumplings into the boiling water in batches. "I kind of understand why Northeastern people like to eat dumplings and stew in big pots so much. This thing is really convenient! In this cold weather, it is really inconvenient to cook other dishes. They are all frozen into ice pimples. It takes a lot of effort to thaw it!" Qin Yuan said with emotion.

As a southerner, his hometown is always green all year round. Even in winter, he can eat fresh vegetables and never worry about vegetables.

But the Northeast is different. It is extremely cold in the Northeast, and winter has basically started since November every year, and winter is very long. It is precisely because of this that there is a saying called Cat Winter.

In order to survive the winter, Northeastern people store a winter's worth of food in their cellars before entering winter. These foods include cured meats and various vegetables.

Due to the extremely cold temperatures in the Northeast, stir-fried dishes like those in the South are basically cold as soon as they are served, while the temperature of stews can last longer, so a unique food culture has gradually formed.

Qin Yuan had actually heard of these things when he was studying, but had never experienced them personally. Today was the first time he experienced them.

As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. Some knowledge is difficult to understand just through textbooks. Only through your own practice can you better understand the truth.

After 10 minutes of boiling, all the plump dumplings will float on the water, which means the dumplings are ready.

"When the dumplings float to the top, it basically means they are cooked and ready to eat. Turn off the heat first. I will add some secret dipping sauce.

A little soy sauce, a little vinegar, and a little spicy woman-Lao Ganma, okay, the soul dipping sauce is finished, the dumplings will be delicious with this dipping sauce! "

As Qin Yuan spoke, he picked up a dumpling, dipped it in some ingredients, and threw it into his mouth. His face immediately showed an expression of enjoyment. Just looking at his expression, he seemed to be able to feel the taste of the dumpling. Delicious.

"It's really delicious. I bought this dumpling from an aunt at the vegetable market and someone else made it by hand.

I bought a total of 100 of them, with three kinds of fillings: fresh pork with chives, fresh pork with cabbage, and one with fresh pork with sauerkraut.

I packed them all together, so now I don’t know how many leeks and cabbages I have in it. I don’t care, they are all delicious anyway. "Qin Yuan showed off the dumplings with a big mouthful and said with a satisfied look on his face.

In less than 10 minutes, he easily devoured 50 dumplings. He ate 50 dumplings in one meal. This amount of food was quite explosive even in the Northeast.

But for Qin Yuan, a top foodie, this is just a piece of cake. If he really lets go and eats, not to mention 50, even 100 will not be a problem.

It's just that he doesn't plan to stay in a hotel tonight, but is going to find an abandoned house to stay, so he must save half of the dumplings for dinner, otherwise he will have to eat all 100 dumplings in one meal.

After eating 50 dumplings, his body felt like it was fully charged and he seemed to have endless energy.

"It feels good when your stomach is full. I felt a little cold just now, but now I'm warm all over and can continue to set off." Qin Yuan didn't stop, immediately packed up the pots and pans, and then set off on the way to Baishan Mountain again. journey.

While passing through a small town, he bought an aluminum alloy thermos flask. The thermos flask totaled 1.5 liters, which was enough for him to drink.

The reason why he bought the aluminum alloy is that it is not easy to be damaged. After all, he cannot live without this thing on his journey. Although it is a little heavy, it is useful!
After adding a new piece of equipment, he continued to set off. The cold wind made his clothes rustle, but he enjoyed it and did not feel any pain at all.

Many passers-by on the road couldn't help but want to give him a ride when they saw him riding in the freezing cold, but he refused.

After all, he had decided when he set out that this trip to the Dragon Ring Country must be completed by his own strength. As long as it was not caused by force majeure, he would definitely persevere no matter what difficulties he encountered. In this way , it is absolutely impossible for him to get a ride.

He rode like this for more than three hours. It was already past 3 p.m., and the total mileage was 120 kilometers. According to his plan, he had to reach Baishan within two days, so he had to ride an average of 150 kilometers every day. , he is still 30 kilometers away!
Even he couldn't help but feel a little tired after riding continuously. After looking at the time, he parked the bicycle on the side of the road, then turned on the action camera and continued to take pictures and records.

"It is now 15:30 in the afternoon. I have been riding for more than three hours and have ridden almost 3 kilometers. Adding the previous 70 kilometers, it is 50 kilometers.

My plan today is to ride 150 kilometers, so there is still 30 kilometers left. At my speed, I can definitely finish it before dark. Now I will drink some water and biscuits to replenish my strength. "

As he spoke, Qin Yuan took out a pack of morning tea biscuits from his backpack and ate them with water. In the process, his eyes were attracted by several ice picks hanging on the stone wall not far away.

The stone wall was formed by an excavator digging out a hill near the highway. There should have been spring water flowing down the mountain before the weather got cold.

But as the temperature dropped sharply, the water droplets flowing down from the mountains were slowly frozen into ice, and finally turned into long ice cones.

Looking at the ice picks, Qin Yuan's heart surged and his childlike innocence grew. At this moment, he seemed to have turned into a child of only a few years old, full of desire for those straight ice picks!

"Brothers, look what I found. Isn't this an ancient magical weapon that has been lost for thousands of years - the Ice Sword!"

Qin Yuan said jokingly as he came to the ice picks and pulled out one of them.

Good guy, this ice pick is about 1.5 meters long and has a beautiful and straight shape. It looks like a real magic weapon.

Holding the ice pick in his hand, Qin Yuan immediately turned into a three-year-old child. He used the ice pick as a sword and began to wave it around randomly. He also dubbed himself and kept making noises in his mouth, which looked extremely childish.

But Qin Yuan himself was having a great time, with a happy and excited smile on his face.

"What a straight and beautiful ice pick. If I could have encountered such an ice pick when I was a child, I would have been happy for a whole year!" Qin Yuan used the ice pick as a weapon while using his mobile phone to record the childlike scene.
