Hodden likes to dig into the streets and alleys to dig for civilian food, and the shyness is only part of the reason, but the real reason is because the food is hidden in these places.Compared with the exquisite food of the aristocratic lords, the wisdom of the common people is hidden in the details of life such as clothing, food, housing and transportation, and patient search can always find something.This small shop located not far from the pier has no name at all, it is a small breakfast shop run by a family of three, but the ingredients are very honest, and the taste is very authentic, it is completely the taste of home, a bowl of Prometheus with a Zinfandel is not only full but also happy.This nameless shop is not Holden's own discovery, but in the process of looking for food, he got information from the owner of another small shop, and made a special visit to the door, and it really lived up to expectations - and the bundle of hemp was also the ingredient that the owner took the initiative to share and inform Holden."
How's it going, how does it taste?"
The proprietor is a woman in her early thirties, her husband is in charge of cooking in the back kitchen, and his wife and son are in charge of greeting customers in the front.Hodden savored the taste with the tip of his tongue as if he were working on a research topic in a laboratory, but this time it was done with taste and smell, "I should add some more dancome and bay; In addition, the ingredients can be relatively reduced in size to avoid robbing Prometheus of its original taste. ”The proprietress raised her narrow willow eyebrows lightly, and thought seriously for a moment, "Ah!
In this way, the bitterness of the 100-year-old can be reduced, and the aroma can be added. ”After saying that, the proprietress smiled widely, "What about the sweet one?"
”"No problem, very good taste."
Hoden gave a thumbs up and didn't hesitate to praise himself, "This is probably the best Prometheus I've ever tasted in Iwabuchi, the heat is just right, the rich aroma blends perfectly, I really can't ask for more." ”"Iwabuchi is the best?
Haha, I don't dare say that, but if you like it, it couldn't be better. ”The proprietress was modest, but not too low-key, and her smiling teasing made the air light up the whole room.During the last visit, Holden and the proprietress had a great conversation, and the proprietress shared some tips on how to use spices, while Holden proposed the concept of "sweet porridge" and "salty porridge", and generously shared the recipes he had conceived, hoping that the proprietress would continue to develop more delicacies.For the hostess, the concept of sweet and savory porridge completely opened the door to a whole new world, and it was an idea that they had never come up with before, and it could even be said to be a new concept - because in Iwabuchi, sweets have always been subsumed into the scope of desserts, and the food challenge is an unheard of attempt.But Holden's eloquence made the proprietress decide to take the plunge and try it.Judging from the results, it is very gratifying."
Guests who like sweetness far outweigh those who like salt."
The proprietress said crisply, "Let me tell you, there are even customers who quarrel directly in my shop, one group of people for sweetness, and the other group for salty, oops, that anger, almost demolished my shop." ”"Ha, that's a good thing."
Hodden also laughed, "Because of love, hatred arises, this is a two-sided thing, the more intense the quarrel, the stronger the love." ”Even in the Chinese continent of the earth, where sweet and salty originated, sweet and salty pies are still a dispute for the ages, and the argument of not giving an inch has never been able to distinguish between the superior and the inferior."
When you say this, I also become curious, so which one do you like?
Sweetness?
Or salty?
”The hostess's eyes sparkled with curiosity."
Whether it's sweet or savory, it's delicious."
Holden hit a Tai Chi gossip hand.The proprietress was slightly stunned, then laughed heartily, "Truth!
Truth indeed!
”At this moment, there was a bustling noise outside the shop, and the crowd of people swarmed in the same direction like sardines, and the noise of chirping rolled up, and the panicked and nervous faces could be faintly seen, mixed with the crowd.The proprietress walked quickly to the door, glanced at it, shook her head and sighed again and again, "I don't know what happened again, it looks like an accident."
Alas, I hope there is no accident, there has been a lot of restlessness near the docks lately, and someone heard a terrible scream the night before......
"The follow-up words could not be continued, and the proprietress hurriedly turned around and walked in.Holden had finished his meal at this time, and the feeling of fullness in his abdomen brought warmth and happiness, and his expression was relaxed, looking at the worried look of the proprietress, his mind turned for a moment, and then he stood up, "I'm ready to leave, thank you for your hospitality." ”As he spoke, Holden was about to pay for it, but the proprietress waved her hand again and again, "This breakfast is mine."
Because of your idea, our business has improved a lot, and we have added a lot of new customers, and we have been obviously busy lately, so I won't say more 'thank you', at least I can invite you to breakfast." ”In fact, Holden does not think that this is his own credit.Although the recipe originated from him, the research and development process was all done by the proprietress and his wife, and he just moved his mouth; Moreover, the proprietress and her family work hard early and night, and their lives are very hard, so he should not let the other party have a treat.But the proprietress is also right, there are comings and goings, this is the right way to communicate with people, the friendship of a breakfast, this is still no problem.So, Holden was not hypocritical, and generously agreed, "Then I'll say thank you." ”After saying hello, Holden left the breakfast shop, but instead of returning to the Eighth District, he walked towards the crowded area in the direction of the docks - the eater has a short mouth, at least to help the proprietress see what is going on here.The distance is not far, just a few steps can see the surging crowd of people on the inner and outer three floors, and the ears are keenly caught by the sound of gossip.“…… I heard that it was a river of blood, and the scene was very terrifying. ”"How did I hear that it was a neighbor who smelled the stench of decay and alerted the vigilantes?""
What is certain is that the dead man is dead.""
It seems that it is said that a family is dead, all of them are dead, and there is no life.""
Where the hell did you get the news?
What I just heard was that a bunch of seafood was left in the house and left untreated, and it stinked and the neighbor was directly angry. ”"I've seen people come out covered in blood.""
Nonsense!
You came later than me, with which eye did you see it?
The third eye?
”"My cousin's neighbor's uncle's son's high school classmate was in the vigilante, District 9, and he said that it seemed that thirty bodies had been found at the scene, which caused a stir throughout the lower city, so everyone gathered.""
Cut!"
