Tong Xi chewed a bit and thought... Well, it’s indeed not bad.
Seeing that she didn’t show a disgusted expression, Yunqing curled his lips.
"People sotis limit themselves. Even before trying, they assu sothing isn’t good. Actually, only after trying it yourself will you know its true taste."
After saying that, Yunqing rested his chin on his hand and gazed into Tong Xi’s eyes as he said, "Just like , you wouldn’t know it’s quite flavorful unless you tried it yourself, right?"
Tong Xi was instantly choked: "Cough, cough..."
Yunqing quickly poured her a glass of hot water: "Take it slow...don’t get too excited!"
Tong Xi was truly speechless.
At this mont, Yunqing started to speak again, "Actually, in this world, many things look unappealing but taste good, especially when it cos to food, you must use clever words to avoid any taboos. There’s a saying, ’Heaven’s dragon at, earth’s donkey at.’ Dragon at is actually a bird called Flying Dragon and it’s extrely delicious. Donkey at, too, is quite tasty. But sotis, certain nas for donkey at... well, are considered carefully and avoided. For instance, in Old Beijing’s early 20th century neighborhoods, donkey at shops had one item that, if you asked for it outright, people would say they didn’t have it. You’d have to phrase it differently, saying you wanted ’money at.’ The shopkeeper would look around to ensure no one was watching, then retrieve it from under the counter and cut you so, diagonally as per the rules."
Tong Xi was puzzled. She sowhat didn’t understand.
"What exactly is the ’money at’ you ntioned?"
Yunqing chuckled, "Really interested in knowing?"
Tong Xi nodded. This... she really hadn’t heard of before.
Yunqing shook his head.
"If I tell you, you’ll accuse of being indecent, so I rather not say it!"
Tong Xi was even more confused. What’s this guy keeping from her now?
Yunqing said with a smile, "I can only tell you, ’money at’ is made using spiced broth and specially stead. When sold, it’s simply cut with a knife into slices. Because it has an ’eye’ in the center, it looks like a coin, hence people humorously call it ’money at.’ However, now many people..."
Tong Xi was even more confused. She’s eaten donkey at and donkey at buns, but ’money at’? It’s really the first ti she’s heard of it!
But Yunqing talked so much, yet she was still completely lost in clouds!
Yunqing continued, "Don’t understand? Look it up yourself! Anyway, I won’t say!"
Tong Xi was helpless, so she pulled out her phone to search, and the result... once she read the explanation, her face instantly turned red.
As expected, knew that nothing good would co from his mouth!
Yunqing raised his eyebrow, watching Tong Xi’s face imdiately redden, and couldn’t help but laugh.
"Tsk tsk, looks like you found it, huh? So, did you learn sothing new, hmm?"
Tong Xi was so embarrassed, she lifted her foot under the table directly at Yunqing’s leg.
"You really... indecent!"
Yunqing burst into laughter, "I’m enlightening you in culinary knowledge to prevent you from embarrassing yourself. If you go to so regions in the south and see ’beef tendon’ on a nu, make sure not to order it, otherwise you’ll really lose face!"
Tong Xi was dumbstruck again.
"Beef tendon? What the heck?"
She’s heard of beef tendons, but not beef tendon... this...
Yunqing shook his head and sighed.
"You’re really dense! Have you heard of similar concepts?"
Tong Xi clenched her teeth, this jerk! How dare he call her dense!
What kind of things are stored in his mind!
This guy, can he let people eat properly?
