    In the county seat of Changli County, Yongping Prefecture.

    Liu Jin and Zhao Erhu walked very leisurely in this small county town. The county town was very small, with only a few streets, and it only took less than half an hour to complete the tour.

    Although the county town is small, it is very lively, with many people coming and going, and all kinds of shouts coming and going.

    ¡°It¡¯s quite lively, just like the Chinese New Year.¡±

    Liu Jin looked at the lively scene in front of him. There were scholars wearing robes and holding fans, with their nostrils turned upward as if they were superior to others; there were poor people in rags who came from the countryside carrying firewood or some dry goods; there were also people carrying goods.  There are small businessmen doing business, operators of special snacks, etc. who are shouting loudly.

    Such scenes are rare to see in later generations. In Liu Jin¡¯s memory, such scenes can only be seen during the Chinese New Year in rural areas. With the development and progress of the times, such lively scenes are becoming more and more popular.  Rarely seen.

    Although it is much, much different from later generations, Liu Jin feels that this place seems more like shopping, and people can't help but look at everything here carefully.

    "It's very lively. I haven't been to the county town for several years."

    Zhao Erhu touched his head and kept looking around, as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden. When he saw some food sellers, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

    "Dumplings, delicious pork dumplings~"

    Hearing the sound of pork dumplings, Zhao Erhu couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and at the same time, his eyes were fixed on a stall.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go and have something to eat~¡±

    Liu Jin naturally noticed Zhao Erhu's slander, smiled and walked towards the dumpling stall. When Zhao Erhu saw it, he immediately followed him.

    "Sir, what would you like to eat?"

    The owner of the dumpling stall is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his 40s. When he sees business coming to his door, he quickly wipes the stools and tables.

    "What good food do you have here?"

    Liu Jin looked at the stall carefully. There was a shed built next to a wall, several sets of seats, and next to it was the stove for cooking. At this time, the fire on the stove was very hot, and there should be something cooking in the pot.  Things like pig skulls exude the aroma of meat, and as the soup boils, you can also see some bones and small pieces of meat.

    ¡°Excellent noodle soup and excellent pork dumplings, all freshly made, guaranteed to be delicious.¡±

    The boss looked at Liu Jin and saw that Liu Jin was dressed as a scholar. Although the clothes were ordinary, a scholar still had enough money to eat, so he introduced them all. If he met a boss who didn't have money, he would probably just introduce him.  Noodle soup.

    ¡°Then give us two bowls of dumplings.¡±

    Liu Jin looked at Zhao Erhu, smiled and said.

    ¡°Okay, two bowls of dumplings, please wait a moment, they¡¯ll be here soon.¡±

    When the boss heard this, he immediately shouted happily, and then began to roll out the dough and make dumplings. He was very skillful and very fast. In less than 10 minutes, two large thick bowls were filled with dumplings and soup.

    "Two bowls of dumplings are here, please use them slowly~"

    Liu Jin picked up the spoon and chopsticks, and was not in a hurry to eat. He looked carefully and saw that the dumplings were very big. Compared with the most common Shaxian dumplings in later generations, they were almost as big as two dumplings in later generations, and they were also more packed.  of density.

    Liu Jin counted carefully and found that there were 20 dumplings in this large bowl, which was a lot, but he didn¡¯t know how much the price would be.

    Gently pick up a dumpling, blow it to cool it slightly, and take a slow bite. Suddenly, a sweet and refreshing aroma comes. The pork is accompanied by Chinese cabbage and some green onions. The taste is perfectly blended.  Together.

    ¡°These dumplings are delicious~¡±

    Liu Jin couldn't help but praise.

    Compared with the dumplings of later generations, although there is not so much seasoning in this era, the ingredients used are very real and the ingredients are very fresh. The soup is also made from large bones. The boss has been making dumplings for many years. This skill is not  said.

    Although the dumplings of later generations bear the name of dumplings, they often cut corners and cut corners. I don¡¯t know what kind of meat they use. The soup is also water soup, so the dumplings have no taste at all.

    "Thank you for the compliment, sir. It's delicious. Please remember to come here often."

    Hearing Liu Jin¡¯s words, the boss, who had no business to spare, also said with a smile on his face.

    "Wow~ so delicious~"

    At this time, Zhao Erhu on the side finished the last bit of soup in the bowl and couldn't help but say.

    &There are only a few stalls, one selling mutton and two selling pork. As for beef, there is no place to buy it, because in this era, the status of cattle can be said to be higher than that of humans. They are protected by law and cannot be slaughtered.  , unless the cow dies of old age or illness, it is absolutely not allowed to slaughter the cow.

    "Sir, do you want to buy some meat?"

    Liu Jin came to a pork stall. The owner of the butcher saw Liu Jin's appearance and asked with a smile. While sharpening his knife, he said: "My pork is all high-quality pigs. Look at this fat meat.  It's a finger thick."

    Liu Jin looked at the pork on the chopping board. The pig was indeed very fat. The butcher also laid out the fattest parts. Liu Jin then remembered that in an era when it was difficult to eat meat, the most popular thing was fat.  Meat, as for lean meat, bones, elbows and the like, are the least wanted.

    So when the butcher got into business, the first thing he introduced was fat meat. If in later generations, this fat meat would be the last thing that no one wants, but what everyone likes the most is ribs, lean meat, and elbows. It¡¯s just the opposite.

    "How much does it cost per pound?"

    Liu Jin smiled and asked, he had promised Zhao Erhu to treat him to braised pork.

    "Fat meat costs 12 cents per catty, and lean meat costs 9 cents per catty. How much do you want?"

    The butcher smiled and said.

    "Cut me 5 pounds of fat meat, and chop me a few ribs~" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
