Chapter 6 Gao Ji Mutton Soup

As soon as I arrived in Hengshui, Mr. Wang Guanyu said that he would treat me to eat mutton soup. He said that he had to get up early. I thought it was like the old time in Taiyuan to eat "Zajiaoqinghe Yuantao", and I had to eat it before dawn with a lantern.The way of eating in Taiyuan is presumably because the nationalist Mr. Fu Shan added some ideological things, named a haggis shop Qingheyuan, and added the word brain, which completely connoted an anti-Qing and anti-Yuan connotation.Getting up early in Hengshui to eat mutton soup is only seven or eight o'clock in the morning.

Mr. Wang Guanyu bought two houses in a villa-style three-story building on Kangfu Road, Hengshui. I live on the third floor, which has just been renovated, but no composite materials are used, so I can live in it. A few jars from the Han Dynasty are placed on the kitchen cabinet, which gives it a quaint atmosphere.When I first arrived, Mr. Wang Guanyu told me that this place is especially suitable for you to write, so you can live here and write. There is a school next to it, and the environment is very quiet.There is a school next to it, and the environment is still very quiet?I never heard.After staying here, I found that it was true. The school is very quiet, but there is noise from the construction site on the side of the street.On the third day, when I went to the street, I took a closer look at the school, and it turned out to be a school for the deaf.The students ate breakfast, and they piled up and down in the courtyard. Only the students who finished eating first talked and signed with the students who were eating.

Regarding Hengshui mutton soup, we have also discussed it for several days. Hengshui is a prefecture-level city with many counties under it. People here are used to discussing everything. For example, on the first day in Hengshui, they discussed Zhao Yan's matter , because the United States is about to hold a trial.Mr. Wang Guanyu asked me what I think about this. He thought I would strongly support Zhao Yan, but I said, well played. Do you think that the United States is the same as China, and the police all recognize power?If you don't obey, I will beat you!There are also many discussions about mutton soup, that is, why does Gaoji mutton soup taste so good?The business of other mutton soups in Hengshui is so-so.Also, selling mutton soup can sell 2,000 bowls a day. The boss actually drove a Passat. Later, thinking that the impact would be bad, he drove another agricultural vehicle.Many people who go to Gaoji Mutton Soup shop to eat mutton soup come in small cars. It is said that some people become addicted after drinking it once and want to drink it every day. Some drive 40 kilometers to drink it.Based on this, it is also said that poppy shells may have been added to the soup.

On a cool morning, when the rising sun reflected the telecommunications building in warm colors, I was taken to Gaoji Mutton Soup Restaurant to eat mutton soup.The road was being built at this time, and it was probably inconvenient for drivers to come to eat mutton soup, so a small table was occupied as soon as we arrived at the store, saying that when the road was not repaired, we had to wait for a long time.In addition, Hengshui, a city on the plain, has a vast land, straight roads and wide streets, and large squares, but there are no traffic lights at the intersections, and you must choose to pass through the gaps in the traffic when crossing the zebra crossing.Hengshui is not limited to motorcycles, so it is also a city of motorcycles, where men ride and women pedal.

Sit down at the table and pay for the soup alone.We ordered three bowls and added a catty of pancakes.After a while, the mutton soup came up. The soup is white, similar to rice soup or milk, and the content covered under the soup is haggis, including lamb liver, heart, lungs, stomach, and intestines. It is not the real mutton in Taiyuan, although The soup is made from sheep bones for a long time.Very mellow white soup, to boil the soup so white, it is said that the pure firepower is not enough, you must fry the haggis for a while, and then boil it to make the white soup. Drinking soup, eating big pancakes, and chewing lamb haggis is really refreshing. The lamb soup is delicious and mellow. I didn’t add seasoning to the first bowl because I was going to eat two bowls. Spicy pepper, fermented bean curd juice, chive flower sauce.There is another rule here, that is, you can drink unlimited soup. There is a guy in a white coat, holding a large aluminum spoon in his right hand, and a long seasoning bottle with a hole in the left hand. When he calls for more soup, he comes to fill up the bowl. , shake the bottle upside down, and the mysterious seasoning will be put into the soup.I asked him to add soup twice. The first bowl of pure soup was delicious, and the second bowl was added with fermented bean curd juice, oily spicy peppers and Philippine cauliflower sauce, and it became a miscellaneous taste.It is mainly the burnt aroma of the chili shell of the oily spicy pepper, and the uncertain taste of the fermented bean curd juice.But after all, he ate to his heart's content, waved his hand unsteadily and walked away.
