Chapter 254: The Goofy
Since Bai Renzong and Han Jiayi did not drive fast, they walked and stopped every day and rested when they wanted to rest. They could only drive for six or seven hours a day, so it took two days to arrive at the province where Pingchuan City is located.
After filling the gas station with oil and water, they began to prepare for the next day's shop exploration process in Pingchuan City.
"Let's take a look..." Bai Renzong checked the route on the navigation and expected to arrive in Pingchuan City tomorrow afternoon. Then he went to visit a shop for midnight snacks in the evening, and then started to visit the shop normally the next day.
The cuisine here does not belong to the eight major cuisines, but it also has its own style and is not particularly spicy, which is particularly good.
So, this time Bai Renzong can visit a few more stores here.
The first thing to visit is: one is the main store of Goubuli buns, and the other is Qishilin, one of the four major Western restaurants in China. Along the way, I went to some of the local residents with good reputations, and this trip was complete.
After Bai Renzong made the plan, he greeted Wang Bei in advance and asked her to come to Pingchuan City tomorrow afternoon.
At this time, Han Jiayi came out of the toilet and hummed unhappily.
"What's wrong?" Bai Renzong pinched her ear and asked.
"My aunt is here..." Han Jiayi said dissatisfied.
"Just come here, just bear with it for a few days. Do you want that?" Bai Renzong teased.
Han Jiayi angrily hammered him: "What did you say! I mean I'm not pregnant!"
"Hey, isn't that normal? Do you think everyone can win the bid in one go?" Bai Renzong was amused by her.
(…)
"Then didn't you say you were safe?" Bai Renzong raised his eyebrows.
"There is also a chance during the safety period! It's just a small one..." Han Jiayi defended her dissatisfied.
"Oh, okay." Bai Renzong pressed her head on his shoulder, "Let it go with the flow? It's not good to be too forced. Don't put too much pressure on yourself, huh?"
Han Jiayi plucked her cheeks and said a few words, then got into the blanket and lay down beside him.
Recently, the Maowu platform strongly asked him to live broadcast his daily travel in the RV during the day, so now Bai Renzong can take a break at night and take advantage of this time to give an explanation of an American drama.
The TV series he is going to do today is "Chernobyl", which tells the story of the Soviet Union's handling and investigation of this incident during the Chernobyl incident at that time.
While watching the video, Bai Renzong wrote a copy: "What is the price of lies? Every time we lie, we owe a debt to the truth, and this debt will be paid sooner or later. This is the reason for the Chernobyl incident."
"Hello everyone, today I want to introduce to you an American drama adapted from a real event called "Chernobyl". It was April 26, 1986. In a residential building near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, a woman vomited due to pregnancy reaction, and a loud noise in the distance alarmed him. A fire flashed in the direction of the nuclear power plant, and her husband was a firefighter..."
After Bai Renzong recorded the copy, he handed over the material to He Guang.
Now the editing work is also completed by He Guang, so Bai Renzong's work has become much easier. Just write the copy, record the audio, and throw the material to He Guang all the time. This way, the work can be much more efficient.
"Okay, it's done." Bai Renzong said, turning to Han Jiayi beside him, "Have you disturbed you?"
"No, haven't I always been with you like this?" Han Jiayi smiled, "It's getting late, let's rest?" As he said, Han Jiayi muttered in a low voice, "Anyway, my aunt is here, so I can't be intimate..."
"Yes." Bai Renzong nodded with a smile, "Go to bed early and get more road tomorrow."
The next day, at around 3:00 pm, they arrived in Pingchuan City smoothly, and then met Wang Bei and Wang Nan in front of the store they were about to visit. The "famous" Goubuli Bun Store in the country can also be a meeting point.
"Xiaobei, here." Bai Renzong saw Wang Bei and Wang Nan in the crowd. After all, Wang Nan's head stands out and it is easy to notice.
He waved his hand and the two of them immediately came to meet him.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaobei, please follow us all these days." Han Jiayi smiled, touching Wang Bei's head.
"Fortunately, Sister Jiayi, Lao Wang and I happened to take the opportunity to go out for a month." Wang Bei smiled, "Like we continued to play and eat in Changtai City before, and we only came after you have determined the process and time."
"Okay, I'm hungry. Let's go in and have a meal and chat. I'm going to start the broadcast." Bai Renzong ordered.
Wang Bei fiddled with the camera, and then made a "ok" gesture: "Start broadcast."
"Good evening everyone. After two days of travel, we came to Pingchuan City." Bai Renzong greeted the audience in front of the camera. "Now it is located in front of Goubuli Baozi, I have actually wanted to come here for a long time. In recent years, everyone has criticized this store and has been blaming it for a long time, so today I am also planning to come and see if it is as everyone said. Let's go in and take a look!"
After coming to the store and sitting down on the first floor, Bai Renzong came to the counter to order food.
"Give me a three-fresh bag, a vegetarian bag, and a pork bag." Bai Renzong glanced at it, "Give me one serving."
As he said that, Bai Renzong swept the price: "But the price is pretty good, it doesn't cost a few dozen yuan."
The aunt at the counter smiled and said, "How many dozens of dollars a day? Our tray is full of eight buns. The most expensive one is the fine sauce meat bun, 128. One is only about ten yuan."
"That's right, where do the rumors on the Internet come from?" Bai Renzong asked in confusion, "Then let's have three fresh, vegetarian buns, pork, and fine sauce meat. Then what can I drink?"
"The set meal will be accompanied by a few bowls of millet porridge and a few cold dishes." The cashier explained, "There are a total of two hundred and seven."
"The price feels good." Bai Renzong muttered to himself. After paying the payment, he returned to the table and waited for the buns to be cooked.
Taking advantage of this, he chatted with his fans: "Actually, this Goubuli bun is not that this bun is ignored. But the founder back then, his nickname is Gouzi, saying that this person is very serious in making buns, and he ignores people when making buns, and Gouzi ignores people when making buns. Over time, everyone is simply called Goubuli buns."
Barrage: "Their price has been adjusted, and it was terrible in those years." "Indeed, in 2016, I brought my friends to eat it. One tray of pork, one tray of crab roe, one tray of 138, and one tray of high-quality sauce meat." "And before, there were six of one trays, but later the reputation declined severely, so it was changed to eight."
"I'll just say it." Bai Renzong replied, "Look at how exaggerated everyone is on the Internet. I'll take a look at it myself, and it feels good. But it depends on the taste. Let's talk to you after you taste it later."
Soon, Wang Nan went over and brought the buns. Bai Renzong looked at the white buns and introduced: "I heard that the buns in their house must have at least fifteen folds, usually eighteen. I'll count them."
Bai Renzong counted and replied, "It's really eighteen. I counted two of them and they were eighteen. This is OK. Extra points."
Immediately, Bai Renzong picked up a bun: "This is a vegetarian bun, I'll try it."
He took a bite of the bun and replied, "Little cabbage, rapeseed, black fungus, eggs, carrots, vermicelli, and water chestnuts. He was given sesame oil seasoning, which was suitable for saltiness, thin skin, and a lot of filling. I think it's OK, just average. This one sells for six yuan, I think it's expensive, and three yuan is almost the same."
Then Bai Renzong picked up a piece of fresh meat and took a bite: "There is a lot of gravy inside. The meat tastes good, but it's nothing special. I feel that the fresh meat bun next to my house has the same taste, but the bun skin is not as good as it makes. Just this fresh meat bun, eight forty-six, I think it's about the same price for two or five."
Then there is Sanxian: "The Sanxian bread means that there is a shrimp in it, and then some black fungus is added. The seasoning is the same as the fresh meat bread. However, this shrimp is very real and can be eaten with fresh shrimp."
Speaking of this, Bai Renzong turned to the century-old fine sauce meat: "I am a little interested in this, their century-old fine..."
After taking a bite, there was no obvious change in the expression on Bai Renzong's face.
"It's pure sauce meat, and I didn't give any fans, dried aromas or anything else. It's very rich in flavor and a bit like fried noodles, but I'm asking me to say... it's not only a bit salty but also a bit sweeter." Bai Renzong's expression was very subtle, "The price is 128, and it's sixteen yuan. I think this... is not worth it. I think it's almost the same as three to four yuan."
Bai Renzong shrugged: "Maybe it's because people a hundred years ago had a heavy taste. Anyway, I think it's heavy."
After eating it, Bai Renzong glanced at the buns in front of him and said, "How can I say it? Actually, it is not as bad as the Internet. To be honest, it is more delicious than the bun shops on the roadside. Its noodles are softer and have a sweet taste. The stuffing is also very juicy, and the seasoning is also good. It must be much better than those on the roadside shops..."
But then Bai Renzong changed his tone: "But!"
Barrage: "Good guy, I want to suppress it first!" "Old Bai is about to start."
Bai Renzong frowned and said, "I have always emphasized to everyone that the price-performance ratio is good. Their buns are indeed okay, but I think the price is still too expensive. I think it is small. I think it is small. I guess locals won't come to eat it. It is for tourists who come from other places and want to experience it, but they don't expect repeat customers."
Barrage: "No, tourists like me won't go to eat."
"It's really not necessary." Bai Renzong signaled that Wang Bei and the others could start eating, while nagging the barrage, "Actually, you can get a bit more expensive for tourists, but it must have a specialty, which is the kind of flavor that you can't eat in other places. But this..."
Bai Renzong glanced at the buns in front of him: "They can only say that they are OK, but their characteristics are not distinctive enough. They are not very eye-catching in size, seasoning, and variety. You may also find such delicious buns elsewhere, so why should I come here all the way? I understand a little why everyone scolded them before. If the buns were priced at the same price, only six of them were more than 100 yuan, that would be really not worth it."
However, Goubuli actually has a second floor. The second floor private room does not only eat buns, but also orders various dishes. However, Goubuli is famous for his buns, so Bai Renzong only plans to taste buns.
After Goubuli came out, Bai Renzong looked at the camera and said, "We only ordered four trays and only tasted them, so we must not be full. But it doesn't matter. Next, we will go to a bun shop recommended by our fans, called "Hongbao Shop". Let's see which is better, the buns in Hongbao Shop or Goubuli."
In contrast, Hongbao Shop is obviously more fireworks-like. Although the decoration in the store is not that exquisite, it has a good sense of age and a lot of customers, many of which are locals.
"Their buns are so many kinds." Bai Renzong glanced at the menu: "Hey? Tofu buns? Good guy, there are also pork ribs! Come on, order these two, I'll try them."
According to the comparison, Bai Renzong ordered the "fresh meat, three fresh meat, sauce meat, and vegetarian buns" ordered in Goubuli, and then ordered extra ribs and tofu buns to taste it.
Bai Renzong each tasted one of the four kinds of buns in the first place.
"Let's talk about these four kinds of Goubuli first." Bai Renzong said, and examined the four kinds of buns in front of them. "The vegetarian buns are slightly different. Their vegetarian buns are added with leeks, which have a strong aroma and a good taste. Overall, I think the buns are better for Goubuli, seasoning, dough, and gravy... they are all better for Goubuli. But!"
Bai Renzong changed the subject: "In terms of price, fresh meat buns are two or five yuan per one, three or three fresh meat buns are three yuan per one, and sauce meat buns are four yuan per one. If you ask me to choose, I would rather buy this one."
Finally, Bai Renzong turned to the two original ones: "Let's take a look at these tofu bags and ribs bags."
Bai Renzong first tasted a tofu: "You can eat a very strong scallion oil flavor in the tofu bun. It tastes pretty good, and the taste is similar to pork stuffing. It is soft and not light. I think it's OK, it's better than I thought. I thought it was a dark dish, one for three."
The last one is the ribs bun: "There is a whole piece of ribs inside, with bones, you have to spit out the bones. The taste is that you use a steamed bun to hold a piece of braised pork rib, which is salty and sweet. The ribs are steamed so badly, and the gravy is also a lot. One is five pieces."
"You see, this is what I call 'features'." Bai Renzong said seriously, "These two kinds of buns can't be eaten elsewhere, and the price is cheap. If it were me, I would rather come and eat them."
Speaking of this, Bai Renzong closed his hands and smiled, "So, that's what today's review is. See you tomorrow."
