Shi Wen with great interest. It's hard to find such a professional and detailed introduction online. Reading this document really broadened his horizons.
Soon, Yan Kexing also came out after taking a shower.
The two went out for mutton soup.
Yan Kexing the Shi Wen into a small alley, at the end of which was a mutton soup restaurant.
They arrived rather late; there was already a group of people queuing outside. The plastic chairs in front of the mutton soup restaurant stretched for more than ten meters, and the waiting people sat in twos and threes chatting.
The two went to get a number, Shi Wen there were still more than thirty tables ahead of theirs. They wondered if they could go look around first and come back later.
Suddenly, a man walked past them, then turned back, glanced at them, and said, "Professor Yan?"
Yan Kexing up.
The man's eyes lit up with surprise. "It really is you! What are you waiting in line for? Why don't you two come with me to our private room for some soup?"
Yan Kexing: "This is troublesome."
The man came over and pulled Shi Wen along, Shi Wen, "No trouble at all, please come with me! It's been so long since I've seen you; I was just thinking of sending you some mutton soup."
The man nimbly led them upstairs to the end of the corridor, then pushed open a door and turned on the light by pressing a switch on the wall. "This is our private room at home. It's all cleaned up. Please have a seat, and we'll serve the dishes shortly."
Yan Kexing: "I'd like a bowl of mutton soup, a basket of donkey meat sandwiches, a plate of sliced mutton, a plate of sliced donkey meat, two plates of mixed mutton, and a serving of stir-fried vegetables. Don't bring too much, it'll be a waste."
Man: "Okay, please wait a moment."
The man noted down their demands and quickly left.
Shi Wen, "You know this boss?"
Yan Kexing: "Six or seven years ago, their whole family got lost in the uninhabited area during a road trip, and I brought them out."
Shi Wen, "What a life-saving grace!"
Yan Kexing smiled and said, "It's not really true. Even without me, someone else would have come along and brought them out."
As they were talking, the man came in again, carrying a large tray. "That's not necessarily true. Without you, we would be in a terrible mess. Here, young man, try our sliced mutton, sliced donkey meat, and mixed mutton."
Shi Wen stood up to help serve the dishes, saying, "Thank you."
Man: "Don't be so polite with me."
Soon all the dishes were served, filling the entire table.
Shi Wen first took a sip of the mutton soup recommended by Yan Kexing.
The milky white, thick mutton soup is topped with a few dark goji berries, making its color combination more unique than other mutton soups.
The Shi Wen smell its extreme freshness, richness, smoothness, and aroma. There are no other flavors besides that. You can't taste the muttony smell that is usually present in mutton soup at all.
The slightly hot mutton soup went down my throat, Shi Wen feel the sweat immediately breaking out.
It's so fresh!
This kind of mutton soup is the kind of good mutton soup that everyone longs for; it's much better than the mutton soup with a strong gamey smell that you can find in stores.
Shi Wen took another sip before looking up at Yan Kexing and exclaiming, "Truly, there are many masters among the common people. This mutton soup is delicious!"
Yan Kexing elegantly held up the soup bowl. "This is a nine-generation-old shop, and the sheep we still use are the most authentic fat-tailed sheep from the local area."
Shi Wen, "Our sheep are also genuine local fat-tailed sheep, but to be honest, our mutton soup isn't as good as theirs."
Yan Kexing: "Someone else's secret recipe."
Shi Wen, "Wow, this is delicious."
Not only the soup, but also the various cut meats and donkey meat sandwiches are delicious, and when paired with the soup, the taste is absolutely amazing.
Shi Wen had been busy all day and was already hungry. Now that her appetite was whetted, she devoured half the dishes on the table, soup and all.
Yan Kexing ate the other half of the food on the table.
Yan Kexing's movements were much more elegant than his, but his eating speed was no slower. Shi Wen suspected that if Yan Kexing hadn't been going easy on him, he wouldn't have been able to compete with him at all.
It truly lives up to its reputation as Fierce Beasts.
Shi Wen lowered his head and took another sip of soup with satisfaction.
This soup is really delicious. If the other party didn't own a shop, I would have to ask them for the recipe Shi Wen smelled it.
After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, Yan Kexing scanned the QR code on the counter and transferred money to the shopkeeper as he left.
The man called out "Hey, hey" several times but couldn't stop them. He had no choice but to pack up a large bag of meat and hand it to them. "This is our new product, aspic and dried meat. Please try it and see if it suits your taste. If you have any suggestions, that would be even better."
Shi Wen knew that the other party was probably just making an excuse to send them meat, so he turned and glanced at Yan Kexing.
Yan Kexing nodded slightly, indicating that he could accept the order.
Shi Wen then accepted it together with Yan Kexing.
Just as the two were about to leave, a woman came out of the kitchen and called out, "Xiao Wukati, Lao Bu said the goji berries are almost gone, and he wants you to get another batch quickly."
The man, Xiao Wukati, said, "Didn't a batch just arrive? How come it's almost gone?"
The woman said, "Business is so good, what's so surprising about it running out? You'd better think of something."
Xiao Wukati tapped his forehead in distress. "The wild goat berries on the branches have almost all been eaten by the wild goats, what can I do?"
Woman: "Let's buy a batch to tide us over."
"It's not the same taste we bought," Xiao Wukati, then said to the woman, "Tell them to use it sparingly. I'll ask my brother if he has any, and if he could spare some for us."
Shi Wen hearing the keyword "wild goat," Yan Kexing to a stop, waiting for them to finish speaking before asking, "Have your goji berries been damaged by wild goats?"
Xiao Wukati: "This year, a lot of wild goats have come here and eaten a lot of our goji berries. We can't shoo them away, and it's no use. They always come at night, and even if we organize people to keep watch at night, we still can't catch them."
Shi Wen, "Did you call the police? Did your superiors send anyone to beat you up?"
