Chapter 885 Under the Outing Team [Twenty Lollipops Plus More]

   After chatting for a while at home, Li Han drove Jennifer, Lingna, Dudu, and his little niece to Shuilu Nunnery not far away. Although Shuilu Temple is not well-known now, it was a famous temple in the Six Dynasties in the past.

Li Han often came here to play when he was a child. He walked around with a large family, and he kept talking about the history of Shuilu Nunnery. Celebrities, especially the colorful clay sculptures in the main hall were the most eye-catching. It is said that this is from a famous sculpture in the Tang Dynasty Family Yang Huizhi personally.

   "The two walls here, in the form of comic strips, interpret the life story of Buddha Sakyamuni, which is very vivid." Li Han said, Jennifer and Lingna were surprised when they heard that this place has a history of thousands of years.

   "It's so beautiful." Although I don't quite understand the story, the colorful clay sculptures and beautifully colored paintings are so beautiful, with a history of thousands of years, comparable to the murals of medieval churches in Europe.

"These clay sculptures include mountains and rivers, bridges, gardens, waterfalls, pavilions, pavilions and pagodas, and there are various Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, twenty-four heavens, five hundred Arhats crossing the sea, thousands of people listening to sutras, and statues of Sakyamuni Nirvana. There are also birds, beasts, unicorns, etc." Li Han pointed to one by one, Dudu and Baobao, two little people, blinking big eyes, and many stories that father (uncle) did not tell.

   The two little people were angry, Li Han and Lingna, Jennifer didn't pay attention to the two angry little people, noticed it for a long time, and the little guy said it. "Hehe, Dad forgot, so let's go, starting tomorrow, Dad will take Dudu to see a lot of beautiful places and tell a bunch of stories." Li Han squatted down and kissed Dudu's fleshy little face.

"OK then."

  Think about it, a lot of stories, fun places. "Dudu also has delicious food." "Okay, no problem, delicious food." "Let's go, let's eat delicious food at noon."

   There is a local dish here. The nine bowls are very authentic. "Well, Mom, Mom, eat something delicious." "Now?" Jennifer, not too hungry.

   "I'll take you to eat some of the most famous nine bowls in the area. It will take some time to make it," said Li Han.

   "Does the dishes also have a story?" Lingna asked with a smile.

   "Don't talk about it, there are quite a few stories here." Li Han said with a smile, the group came out of Shuilu Nunnery, drove for ten minutes, and stopped at a small restaurant.

   "When we talk about the story, we have to talk about Lantian's scooters." Li Han waited to sit down and continued what he just said. "In those days, how many spoons of spoons traveled the world with an iron spoon. At that time, they walked the world with a spoon on their back, shouting Guanzhong's number, carrying an iron spoon, a spoon, and a pair of cloth shoes to go around the world."

   "At that time, many of the imperial chefs in the palaces of the Ming and Qing dynasties were from Lantian. Back then, when the Empress Dowager Cixi took refuge in Xi'an, most of the famous chefs used by the imperial palace were from Lantian.

   Lantian people. During Cixi's more than a year in Xi'an, the Lantian cook made a big splash. Since then, not only has BJ spread far, but Xi'an's "cooked"

"Food and food" has become the world of Lantian people; it even prevailed throughout the Republic of China. In the 1970s and 1980s, whenever there was a happy event in the village, it was served on a plate. At that time, there was a lack of food and clothing. ,

   serving on a plate,

   cube meat,

  Striped meat will run into the mouth of the eater in the blink of an eye,

   slipped into their respective stomachs,

   disappeared from the sight of the eater,

   The remaining red avocado on the bottom of the plate and bowl,

  Goods pay attention to enjoy.

   A table of guests sits around a square table,

   A pot of soju flows clockwise among the guests,

   Squatting on the shochu kettle

   A small wine cup,

   The small wine cup is too small to hold a drink or two.

   Diners from Murakami,

   doesn't count the rotation at all

  The wine cup is the hygiene thing you use to drink it,

   There is only one kind of intimacy from the folks.

  The drinker will raise the cup and drink it up,

  Soon

   smacking his lips, showing that the taste of drinking is lingering on the palate and has a long aftertaste. After that, pass the wine cup to the next person, of course

   There will be no clinking of wine glasses. "

  Li Han started to sing, don't say anything, and a lot of people hummed along. "This little brother is from Lantian, right?" "No, I've been out all these years, and I just came back. I brought my daughter to taste the nine big bowls. Seriously, I haven't eaten for a long time. I really want to. ."

   "Promising, is my daughter-in-law a foreigner?" "Haha, an American." Li Han shuddered, and crawled into Li Han's arms beside him. "Dad, Dudu is hungry."

   "This girl is really good looking, wait, my uncle will rush it." The boss said with a smile. "Master, come quickly, the children are hungry."

   "Add more slivers, don't you come back once, it's mine today." The boss said politely.

   "Don't, you can't watch me lose face to my daughter-in-law, right?" Li Han said with a smile, indicating that his daughter-in-law was beside him.

   "Haha, what my brother said, in this way, tell me what you like to eat, and I will let the master decorate it." The boss said with a smile, and gave a bottle of juice. "It's for the kids."

"Thanks."

  Li Han smiled and thanked, opened the bottle, and poured drinks for Dudu and the baby, Jennifer, and Lingna.

   An elderly woman came into the restaurant, neatly dressed. "Auntie, what do you want?" "Ah, let me see, let me fry some vegetables first."

   "Come on."

   The boss said with a smile, and said to the chef, Li Han served some cold dishes here. The vegetables were served almost as fast as Li Han's, and the woman had a good appetite.

   "Another slice of slivers."

   said, turned to ask everyone. "There are people who eat green vegetables, and I didn't touch them just now." The woman asked. Just after eating, the green vegetables didn't move, but they ate them up and ordered a slice of pork.

   A group of diners seemed to see such a scene for the first time. They paused, and then nothing happened. "I really didn't touch these." The woman said that there were a lot of green vegetables left.

   "Grandma, Dudu wants it."

  Dudu ran over with a small bowl. "Thank you." The woman put green vegetables in a tooting bowl and continued to eat the slivers. It seemed that her appetite had increased, and she ate a small bowl of rice.

  The slivers were eaten up, and Dudu came back with green vegetables, and the villain gave a little to the baby sister. "Green vegetables are delicious." "Haha, it's good not to waste them."

  Li Han rubbed Dudu's little head. He didn't take other people's eyes seriously at all, and praised Dudu.

   "Dad, why don't you want granny's vegetables."

   Dudu is very strange, why the uncle who is very close to the old grandma obviously doesn't have green vegetables, don't, it's strange. "Hehe, my uncle probably doesn't like green vegetables."

"Really?"

"yes."

   "The dishes are here."

   the waiter shouted, and while he said that, he put the nine bowls on the table. "Braised cabbage, stewed tiger skin tofu, stewed radish slices, cubed meat, sweet rice, strips of meat, mustard shredded radish, braised pork diced old tofu, meatballs stewed with kelp, live together."

"Thank you."

  Li Han smiled and stacked ten dollars on the wooden tray. "Thank you for coming." Said, happy, shouted and went down.

   "Han, how do you say that?" Lingna asked with a smile, just startled.

   "This is how to sing the name of the dish. It's customary for the spoon to serve customers. The name of the last dish is reported. This is the specialty of this restaurant." Li Han said with a smile. "I'm hungry, how about a taste."

   "Dudu, not only eat vegetables, but also eat more meat."

  Li Han's strips of meat were placed in a bowl for Dudu and Baobao. "Well, the green vegetables are all eaten up." Dudu said proudly, biting the meat. "good to eat."

​​​​​"Brother, have a drink?"

   "Sorry, big brother, I'm driving and have kids."

  Li Han smiled embarrassedly, poured a cup of tea, and finished it.

"Yes, don't drink while driving. Come, let's use tea instead of wine. If you have time, come back and have a look. Our development here is quite good." One, as usual, sweet rice can not be added.

   Li Han thanked him, the boss didn't stop, and several tables toasted and talked. After the woman finished eating the meat, she nodded to Li Han and left.

  The old lady just spoke, with a Hokkien style, it seems that she may come from Taiwan and the mainland. Dudu waved his little hand to say goodbye to grandma, and the villain ate all the vegetables.

   Nine large bowls, set on a table, plus cold dishes, the belly of the family is bulging, especially the two little guys, their mouths are shiny. After the bill was settled, Li Han took his family to several small scenic spots nearby, took a walk, and digested food.

   In the afternoon, I drove my car back to Lantian. "Tomorrow, Dad will take you to see the Terracotta Warriors." "Well, baby sister has seen it, but Dudu has not." Dudu pulled Dad and said.

   "Baby has forgotten, but also to see."

  Baby put his arms around his uncle and wanted to go. The little guy loves to play with his uncle. "Okay, uncle will take you there, obediently take a bath, play for a long time, and sweat."

"Um."

   "Sister Dudu, the baby will take you to take a bath."

  Baby's house, the baby will use it, pulling the toot. "Sister Bao, do you have a little yellow duck?" "There is only one, lend it to my sister." The baby's voice gradually became quieter, and he could only vaguely hear the sound of water and the laughter of two villains.

   "Sister, isn't mom back?"

  Li Han took a shower and came out to see the old lady preparing chicken soup. "Mom and dad are back in the college community." "Mom wants you to take Jennifer and eat there in the evening."

   "Can't you and brother-in-law go?"

  Li Han wiped his hair and asked. "I made an appointment with your brother-in-law to go to Bao Bao's grandparents' house today." "Okay, will Bao Bao come back tomorrow, and the little girl is still making a fuss to take her to see the Terracotta Warriors?"

   "That's it, I'll bring the baby back tomorrow."

   Li Mei said.

   Waiting for Jennifer to come out, Li Han simmered chicken soup for a day and handed it to Jennifer. "I went out to stew in the morning, it will be a day soon." "Thank you." Jennifer took it over. The stewed chicken soup tasted good, not greasy, and had a faint medicinal fragrance. Jennifer was used to it.

   I still owe JimH and masd two more updates this month, and I will make it up tomorrow and the day after.
