"Tsk, there's a little too much vinegar in this jelly ~"
Liu Chuan felt a little sour, but he didn't mind. He asked as he ate,""Where is Commander Wang from? How could he eat such sour bean jelly?”
"Director Liu, you must be joking. I'm half Xuzhou and half Shanxi. He came from Shanxi and followed his father to Xuzhou to make a living. Unknowingly, he had been in Xuzhou for nearly twenty years.
It's just that I can't change the habit I developed in Shanxi. I like to be jealous. If I don't have more vinegar in my bowl of bean jelly, I won't be able to enjoy it. It just so happens that this boss is also from Shanxi. It suits my taste."
Wang Qifeng said with a smile. Liu Chuan nodded,"That's true. Speaking of which, I'm from Sichuan. When I eat vegetables on a daily basis, if I don't add more spicy food, my mouth will feel tasteless. Looks like Commander Wang and I are in the same boat."
Wang Qifeng smiled and didn't know how to reply, but Liu Chuan could say something at this time.
" By the way, I heard you say that every summer, you come to this roadside stall to eat a bowl of bean jelly. It seems that this boss has been working in Xuzhou for quite some years."
Liu Chuan asked casually, a faint smile on his face.
"Boss, you don't know. Xuzhou is a place that connects in all directions. The Jinpu railway, the Longhai railway, and the Grand Canal all pass through Xuzhou. There are many people who travel from north to south, so business is good in Xuzhou ~"
At this moment, the boss said as he took a small wooden basin and mixed some bean jelly for them. He said,"Today, all the CEOs are here to visit our store. This store is very happy. These bean jelly are for the CEOs.”
Liu Chuan thanked him with a smile and continued to chat with Wang Qifeng as they ate. After eating, he patted his butt and left with Watanabe Taro and the others, leaving Wang Qifeng sitting there and staring at Liu Chuan's back in a daze.
Liu Chuan and his group swaggered to Drunken Immortal Restaurant. The owner of Drunken Immortal Restaurant saw that Liu Chuan and Watanabe Taro had brought people back. He had a smile on his face, but he was already cursing in his heart.
Liu Chuan and the others often came to Drunken Immortal Restaurant for meals. If it was just Liu Chuan and Watanabe Taro, it didn't matter how many times they came. How much could they eat?
However, the key was that when the two of them came, the Japanese soldiers behind them would also have to eat. This was helpless. Every time, it would be dozens of people eating and drinking.
After eating, he asked for the bill and said that the director of the industry and commerce department, Cheng Xuehou, was here to pay. Damn it, he had never seen such a shameless person. Wasn't Cheng Xuehou the young master of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant?
What was the difference between this and handing money from one hand to the other?
However, he couldn't flare up. Who asked him to be so unlucky? Liu Chuan and the others had targeted this Drunken Immortal Residence to eat.
Today, they walked in and sat down on the second floor as if they were friends. Liu Chuan did not sit at the same table as Watanabe Taro and the others. Because Liu Chuan liked spicy food, he asked for more chili and pepper every time he came to Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
Tarou Watanabe couldn't stand it, so he always sat with the other Japanese soldiers. Only Liu Chuan and Liu Ximing were left at this table.
"You seem to care a lot about that puppet commander?”
Liu Ximing thought of Liu Chuan's appearance and asked.
"What do you mean?"
Liu Chuan looked up at him and asked with a smile.
"You don't usually eat with strangers. You said it yourself, what if you meet someone who poisoned you? But you just ate a bowl of bean jelly outside and chatted and laughed with Wang Qifeng. This isn't like you.”
Liu Ximing said very seriously, which made Liu Chuan a little uncomfortable. Instead, he smiled gently and said,"Then did you notice the strangeness between Wang Qifeng and the stall owner?”
"Strange?"
Liu Ximing thought for a moment and said," No. What's so strange about them?”
"There are many strange places. People from Shanxi came to Xuzhou to do business. They said that there were many people and business was easy. It was reasonable, but where was his roadside stall?
Even if he was a merchant who sold goods, it was impossible for him to come to such a remote place to eat a bowl of bean jelly and a bowl of chaos. In other words, if he really came to Xuzhou to make a living, wouldn't the food stalls at the docks and train stations be more profitable? Why was it placed in such a remote place in the Urban area?
This was one point. There was another point. Who in Xuzhou would eat his bean jelly? In other words, other than Shanxi people, who in the country would eat bean jelly with so much vinegar?
He's even been working in Xuzhou for so many years. It's obvious that this boss doesn't do a proper business at all ~"
Liu Chuan sneered in his heart. In this era, transportation was relatively backward, and communication was also backward. There were so many cuisines in the country, and every place had a different taste.
The commoners and even many people did not know, but he came from the later generations. In the later generations, transportation and communications were developed, and traveling had become a norm.
If they ate Sichuan Cuisine today, they might be eating Huaiyang Cuisine tomorrow. They would eat different cuisines from all over the world, so they were very sensitive to different tastes.
Liu Chuan knew that it was fine if you tried different cuisines for the first time, but if you kept eating, it would be unbearable. It was just like how Sichuan people always ate Sichuan food in Sichuan. It was nothing.
One day, you went to Guangdong for a business trip and ate Cantonese food for a day. It was still fresh on the first day and not bad. Suddenly, the company said that they were going to open a branch office there. You had to live there for a long time. If you stayed there for a month and ate Cantonese food again, you would feel worse than death.
Every time you look at the white dishes, you lose your appetite. This is a habit of taste. As for those who opened restaurants, everyone said that Sichuan cuisine would change its taste once it came out of Sichuan, and Cantonese cuisine would become spicy once it entered Sichuan.
The reason was very simple. If foreign cuisines wanted to survive in the local area, they had to make changes and adapt to the local tastes. Otherwise, let alone a few years, they would have to close down after a few months.
As for the roadside stall owner, he said that he came to Xuzhou to make a living, but in the end, he set up a stall so far away from the train station and dock in Xuzhou. His taste was still authentic Shanxi flavor. Who in Xuzhou would eat such sour food?
Even the people in the Jiangnan area wouldn't eat it ~
Therefore, there must be something wrong with this roadside stall owner.
Liu Ximing didn't quite understand what he was hearing. People in their era usually didn't pay attention to this. Just like Liu Ximing, although he came to Xuzhou from Sichuan, his family was poor since he was young, so he couldn't even eat. At this time, there was no need to talk about Sichuan and Huaiyang cuisine. It was already good enough to fill his stomach.
However, our future generation is an era that focuses on food, so Liu Chuan is particularly sensitive to these things. This is a condition that most people in this era do not have.
After the group finished eating, they strolled back to the residence. Naturally, Watanabe Taro and the others had to follow them back. They still had to arrange for people to stand guard at night.
Back at the mansion, Liu Chuan looked at the calendar. It was already the 10th of July. He sat on the chair and lit a cigarette. He took a deep puff, his eyes deep in thought.
Just as he was thinking about something, Watanabe Taro walked in while stroking his stomach. It seemed that he had eaten too much just now and was still full. However, why was he looking for him?
" Yanagawa-kun, the regiment commander has sent a telegram. Can you take a look at it?"
Tarou Watanabe burped and handed over the telegram. Liu Chuan used Watanabe Tarou's team's lightning system to contact Everlasting Tortoise Shiro.
After reading it, Liu Chuan threw the telegram aside and said to Watanabe Taro,"" Watanabe-kun, you should go and rest as well. We're leaving the day after tomorrow. Sensei sent a telegram saying that we'll start the siege plan the day after tomorrow."
