Chapter 475: In this day and age, anyone who wastes food truly deserves to be struck by lightning
The Northeast is very, very big, with outstanding people and beautiful land, and the air is also very comfortable.
As soon as the family of four left the station, there were enthusiastic local fellow villagers pulling carts and shouting to solicit customers.
There were also people selling popsicles, selling dried fruits; merchants were everywhere.
The two children's eyes were fixed on the items they had never heard of or seen before.
This is the Northeast; even the pots and pans for holding things are so big!
The people here are so enthusiastic, smiling so openly.
"Iron pot stewed goose."
"Pan-seared corn cakes."
"Pork stewed with vermicelli, chicken stewed with mushrooms, beef stewed with potatoes!"
"Celery stewed with pork ribs, sauerkraut fish!"
"Guo Bao Rou (sweet and sour pork), sticky bean buns!"
This made not only the children drool, but even Shen Man, an adult, couldn't hold back.
These are local delicacies; being able to eat these delicacies locally is something one can only wish for, and the taste is absolutely authentic!
"Mom, I'm hungry."
Xiao Nuomi said while swallowing her saliva, holding her little belly with both hands, looking at her mom pitifully.
Xiao Mantou also chimed in from the side, indicating that he was also hungry and wanted to eat something delicious.
Jiang Ye held the two children, his face full of a loving father's smile, and opened his mouth under the children's expectant little eyes:
"Wife, I'm also hungry. You pick a restaurant, and we'll eat first."
Shen Man rolled her eyes at the man; she wasn't a stepmother, so how could she treat the children poorly?
She was holding a bag in her hand, inside was Tangyuan. Tangyuan sniffed the various smells in the air, its eyes shining as it stared at a restaurant, almost pointing the way with its claws.
"Let's eat at that local restaurant."
That restaurant must also have things Tangyuan wants to eat; anyway, since they are eating, it's better to eat something everyone can eat.
Isn't there a saying called "people follow the crowd"?
"Dad, put us down; we can walk ourselves."
Xiao Nuomi couldn't wait to get down and walk; she wanted to go eat iron pot stewed goose!
Xiao Mantou felt sorry for his dad and also patted his dad's shoulder, signaling for his dad to put him down to walk.
Just like that, the family of four plus a pet cat walked into a local restaurant not long after leaving the train station, ordering quite a few dishes with great momentum.
In recent years, ever since the policy opened up, many people with brains have come out to do business.
They actually like to gather in places with large crowds like schools and train stations.
The local restaurant they chose was also quite famous locally, with good taste, large portions, and many repeat customers.
Over time, it became a local specialty delicacy.
Suddenly, a family of four came to the shop, with outstanding looks—the man was handsome, the woman was beautiful, and the children were water-spirited, making the restaurant owner so fond of them.
"Meow woo."
And a chubby cat, looking like it was very good to touch, its fur oily and smooth, looking like it was well-cared for.
Shen Man and her family ordered local specialty dishes. At first, the owner was worried they wouldn't be able to finish, until he took out a few lunch boxes and patted his chest to guarantee—
"Don't worry, owner, even if we can't finish, we will pack it; we won't waste food."
In this day and age, anyone who wastes food truly deserves to be struck by lightning.
It's only been a few years; wasting is not encouraged.
With that, the owner and her staff were relieved, and they served the dishes quickly as the guests ordered.
Authentic iron pot stewed goose, sauerkraut with pork intestines, chicken stewed with mushrooms, Guo Bao Rou, sticky bean buns!
Shen Man wasn't that extravagant and wasteful; they were going to be in the Northeast for a few days, not just for a moment.
Good things should be eaten slowly; first, order what the family of four plus Tangyuan can finish.
In the next few days of traveling, they could just keep checking in.
Besides ordering dishes, they also wanted four bottles of salt soda.
It was just that the weather now was summer vacation, June.
It wasn't cold yet; if they came when it was cold, there would be a very seasonal fruit in the Northeast called frozen pear...
The people in the Northeast are very enthusiastic, very enthusiastic. Not knowing they were military dependents from out of town, they became even more enthusiastic.
They were teaching them how to choose cars, bargain, telling them which hotels were cleaner and more hygienic, telling them which food was more delicious, and which zoo had the best scenery.
It wasn't just the children listening with great interest; even Shen Man was stunned listening to them.
No wonder she saw a teacher lady resign before, and the reason for resignation was "the world is so big, I want to go see it."
It turned out that just within their country, there were many places with different food cultures and customs.
They didn't order green onions with soybean paste, but this dish was gifted by the enthusiastic owner.
"Sister, try it; this is our local specialty delicacy, very fragrant, this is our lifeline."
"Hey, thank you, big sister."
Shen Man was promoted by the enthusiastic big sister to eat green onions with soybean paste. At first, she hesitated, but smelling the very authentic sauce fragrance, she couldn't help but eat a bite.
"Wow, delicious."
At the first bite, the green onion was a bit spicy, but it was soon neutralized by the sauce flavor; the more she chewed, the more fragrant it became.
Seeing their mom eating happily, the children also stretched out their chubby little hands, unable to wait to try it.
Soon, the sound of "si ha si ha" came one after another.
The children were also spicy from the green onions when they ate it for the first time, but they soon couldn't bear to spit it out, and the more they chewed, the more fragrant it became.
Seeing this, Jiang Ye cleaned his hands slowly, then went to take a green onion with white and green parts, learned from his wife's appearance, dipped it in soybean paste, and put it in his mouth to chew.
He rarely ate such spicy food with a strange smell.
Eating it occasionally, he felt like he had opened the door to a new world; it was quite fragrant.
Next, iron pot stewed goose, pork intestines, sauerkraut, Guo Bao Rou, sticky bean buns—which one didn't make the family of four linger and forget to return?
Even Tangyuan, eating from its exclusive rice bowl on the side, was moved to drool by the food inside.
Good heavens, the food here is so delicious; if I had known, I would have begged the master to bring me here to play long ago.
Too delicious!
After eating, everyone was sipping salt soda; it looked at it and was also very greedy.
"Here."
Jiang Ye poured a small cup of salt soda, placed it next to Tangyuan, and signaled for Tangyuan to drink.
In the eyes of others, they might be exceptionally doting on the fur baby, letting the fur baby eat at the table.
But in his and his wife's eyes, Tangyuan is a friend, a family member, and an indispensable part.
Tangyuan is worthy of their respect, love, and care.
Xiao Nuomi and Xiao Mantou were used to it, and from time to time, they would pick some food they thought was delicious for Tangyuan—oh, they would pick out the chili.
Needless to say, Shen Man, if Tangyuan wanted to eat Guo Bao Rou, she would specially break it into small pieces and put it in Tangyuan's bowl.
Even if her fingers were a bit sticky and uncomfortable, she didn't mind.
Others looked on, although they had complaints in their hearts, they didn't dare to mention it to their faces.
Instead, the high looks of this family of four made them look pleasing to the eye, and they automatically ignored their behavior of caring too much about a cat... ===== CHAPTER 476 =====
