Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 450-Wu Chi San Nods, the Old Emperor Shakes His Belly

Most of the competition schedule has passed, and those athletes who have completed all the events are in a state of recovery. Rest and delicious food are the two only ways to recover quickly.

Many people say that the capital is a food desert, and the only dishes that everyone is familiar with seem to be the capital's fried noodles with soybean paste and the capital's roast duck.

But there is another delicious delicacy in the capital, that is - Lao Didu Baodu.

Westerners don't eat offal, which is actually a stereotype in China. At least French cuisine, like Chinese cuisine, has a lot of ways to cook offal, and its ingredients are also very inclusive.

Wang Fan bought some fresh tripe himself. When he gently pressed it with his hands, the skin on the tripe would not fall off. The whole tripe was also very bright and there was no strange smell.

When processing the tripe, he did not scrape off the layer of white oil inside, but just tore off the fascia with his hands and then washed it clean with pure water.

Cut the tripe into half-finger-wide strips along the seam of the tripe. After cutting, prepare some cabbage and vermicelli.

The soul of Laodidu Baodu is the dipping sauce. After preparing the ingredients, he starts to mix the sesame peanut butter.

Boil some oil with coriander, celery, ginger, garlic, onion and other flavorful ingredients, put two parts sesame paste and eight parts peanut butter into a large bowl, pour the oil and stir with a thick rolling pin. Soon the sesame paste and peanut butter in the bowl will be as smooth as silk.

Take out a bottle, pour the oil in the bottle into the sesame peanut butter again and stir, and a rich seafood aroma will begin to emanate.

This is the shrimp oil that Wang Fan had refined before. It contains shrimp heads, shrimp shells, and a large amount of green onions. The shrimp oil is very fresh and fragrant.

After washing the chili skin with cold water, add some white sesame seeds. Pour the sesame oil on it after boiling. With a "sizzle", the aroma of chili and sesame seeds is instantly activated. Pour the hot oil for the second time and the dry chili skin becomes crispy and refreshing.

Add chives and fermented bean curd on one side, and adjust the taste before serving.

Wang Fan boiled a pot of water without adding any seasoning and started waiting for diners to come.

Strangely enough, Pan Le didn't feel like he had any appetite, but whenever he got to the restaurant at mealtime, he would want to have a bite of Boss Wang's snacks, but he didn't have much desire for those exquisite stir-fried dishes.

Pan Le is very tall, over 1.9 meters tall, and Wang Fan and the others are about the same height.

Although he had just won the championship and even broke the world record, there was no trace of arrogance on his face. He remained calm and low-key.

"What is Boss Wang having for dinner tonight?"

Wang Fan said with a smile, "Would you like to try some Old Beijing Fried Tripe?"

"Give me one, then."

Wang Fan nodded and picked up a bowl. After filling it a third with peanut sesame paste, he asked, "Do you want chopped green onions, cilantro, chives, fermented tofu, and chili peppers?"

Pan Le was immediately amused. "Boss Wang, just do as you see fit. I don't have any dietary restrictions. Just make it whatever tastes good to me, just use a little less chili."

Wang Fan laughed and said that those who don’t have any dietary restrictions will have a treat.

After putting some of each ingredient in the bowl, take out a large colander and put a large chopstick of tripe on the colander. This chopstick should weigh at least half a pound.

At this time, the water in the pot had already boiled and was bubbling vigorously. After turning off the fire, Wang Fan put the colander directly into the boiling water. After only one second, he lifted the colander up.

"Shhhhh..."

The colander was lightly shaken, and the flying tripe fell back onto the colander, making a crisp collision sound. Every time the colander was shaken, the position of the tripe would change slightly.

After shaking it five or six times, he put the colander back into the pot.

Still take it out after boiling for 1 second and continue to stir.

After blanching it three times, he stopped shaking it and poured the tripe directly into the plate that Zhuo Qianqian had blanched it.

"Alright. Just transfer it from the plate to the bowl, stir it, and eat it straight away."

The essence of fried tripe is its freshness, crispness, and tenderness. If it's blanched for too long, the texture will deteriorate significantly. Pan Le licked his lips, picked up his plate, and walked away, not even glancing at the stir-fried dishes on the other side.

The people behind heard the conversation between the two, and as soon as it was their turn, they took the initiative to say what flavor they wanted, and they were very fast.

Pan Le had already broken open the disposable chopsticks and started enjoying it.

The black tripe looks very fresh. It is blanched in clear water without any seasoning, but you can still smell its faint fragrance.

Pan Le couldn't wait to pick up a piece of fried tripe with chopsticks and gently stir it into the dark yellow sesame peanut butter.

The thick dipping sauce wrapped the whole fried tripe, and the rich aroma of peanuts and sesame penetrated into Pan Le's nose. He felt that his mouth was constantly secreting saliva and he couldn't stop at all.

"Snoring..."

The chopsticks were really big, and it took some effort for him to suck the whole fried tripe into his mouth. There was a lot of sauce stuck to the corners of his mouth, but he didn't care at all.

There’s nothing I can do, it smells so good that I’m dizzy!

Many foreigners are allergic to sesame, peanuts, etc. Throwing away a piece of five-nut mooncake may even send a large number of Europeans to the hospital. However, because our ancestors have carefully selected allergies, Chinese people basically have no worries about this. After all, those who can't make it have already made it to the hospital.

The sweet aroma of peanuts and the mellow fragrance of sesame are blended together, followed by the slightly wine-like taste of fermented tofu, the salty fragrance of chives, and the freshness of green onions and coriander, all perfectly blended together.

As soon as you chew it, the crispness and tenderness of the fried tripe instantly bursts in your mouth, and that unique crispness is extremely charming.

The sauce is not too salty and you can taste the flavors of various spices, especially the hint of sweetness brought by peanuts, which is the finishing touch.

No, there is a more mysterious yet more delicious taste, which is what truly gives it soul!
Pan Le felt very magical.

He had no knowledge of gourmet food, knew nothing about cooking, and his tongue had no special functions, but when he ate this fried tripe, he could clearly feel the changes in the taste of each seasoning.

Every time I chew, these independent sauces blend together. The refreshing feeling of transforming the distinct layers into a completely unified new taste is simply indescribable.

If Wang Fan could hear Pan Le's thoughts, he would definitely laugh. He did it on purpose.

He didn’t stir any of the seasonings he added later, and instead just dipped the dish full in the bowl, allowing the various sauces to provide completely different flavors.

Finally, they merge into one in your mouth, and the refreshing feeling and the crispness of the tripe are a perfect match.

He quickly swallowed a mouthful and couldn't wait to pick up another big piece with his chopsticks.

"Squeak, squeak..."

He could clearly hear the sound of tripe breaking in his mouth, and a hot feeling spread to the tip of his tongue, letting him know that he had eaten a chili pepper this time.

The rich aroma of chili makes the taste of the fried tripe even better.

“I can’t believe it, this is so crisp!”

"It's so fragrant and spicy. Isn't this too delicious?"

"I've eaten it before, and it wasn't this delicious. Is the difference between people really that big?"

"I can only say that you are worthy of being called Boss Wang. You are worthy of your reputation as the strongest outdoor boss."

"No wonder so many diners travel far and wide to follow Boss Wang. I thought it was a bit exaggerated before, but after trying it, the difference is really obvious."

"That's right. If he comes near me in the future, I will definitely not be able to resist asking him out for a delicious meal."
