Chapter 94: No Contrast, No Harm
After paying the bill after dinner, Bai Renzong and Han Jiayi came outside to stroll and digest for a while, and then went to the cinema later.
In fact, Han Jiayi was really beautiful today. Although she was dressed very ordinary. Feeling the envious look of people around her, Bai Renzong couldn't help but wonder: Why didn't anyone recognize them? It seems that the popularity is not high enough...
"Actually, I know that the boiled fish in the family is pretty good. Let's take you to eat next time." Han Jiayi whispered at this time.
"Hmm? OK." Bai Renzong nodded, and the two of them had already walked to the cinema before they knew it.
"Do you want popcorn?" Bai Renzong turned to Han Jiayi and asked.
Han Jiayi nodded and smiled brightly: "Salty."
After buying the tickets and popcorn, the two of them quickly started queuing up to enter the venue, because it was a week and a half since the premiere, and it was another weekday afternoon, and there were only six or seven people in total in this game.
After the movie started, the scene soon became quiet.
"Do you eat?" Han Jiayi asked with the popcorn in front of Bai Renzong, her beautiful eyes flashing in the darkness.
Bai Renzong grabbed a little perfunctorily and ate it, then looked at her from the corner of his eyes.
This girl looked like a little hamster when eating popcorn, crunching quickly, and she looked the same as her when eating potato chips. She was so cute.
"The bald heads in this series are so handsome." Han Jiayi said with a smile. Perhaps because she had eaten salty food, she grabbed the drink and took a big sip.
But after eating popcorn, you have to drink a drink, and after drinking a drink...
"What are you doing?" Bai Renzong looked at Han Jiayi sitting restlessly on the side, frowned and said, "Do you want to go to the toilet?"
Han Jiayi pursed her lips and nodded slightly embarrassedly: "Yeah..."
"Then you go." Bai Renzong said in confusion.
"I missed the wonderful place when I went..." Han Jiayi said unwillingly.
"Then you go again later, the place you missed will be even more exciting." Bai Renzong rolled his eyes.
Han Jiayi pursed her lips tightly, and after pondering for a while, she still made up her mind, got up and walked out of the screening hall gracefully and quickly.
Looking at her anxious but elegant posture, Bai Renzong was really angry and funny.
After a while, when Han Jiayi came back, she asked hurriedly: "What did I miss?"
"These two people fought with the villain, but they had never fought." Bai Renzong replied lightly.
"Hmph!" Han Jiayi stuffed the popcorn to Bai Renzong in anger, as if she was going to the bathroom halfway through and it was all the popcorn fault, "Give it to you! You can eat it!"
"Popcorn: What did I do wrong?" Bai Renzong thought to himself and placed the popcorn on the handrail.
Finally, after watching a movie, popcorn was neglected until the end.
Bai Renzong and Han Jiayi also came out of the screening hall.
"It looks so good!" Han Jiayi said with a smile.
"..." Bai Renzong looked like he wanted to speak but stopped. Han Jiayi lowered her eyelids: "Say whatever you want."
"I want to say, this series has really gone downhill." Bai Renzong shook his head and sighed, "I have forced the logic to make it feel good to the audience... Please, in the end, the old man was wearing mechanical armor, and hitting him with his fists was more useful than a gun? He really wanted to eat this IP until he was so bad that he could no longer squeeze out the benefits."
"I don't think it's that bad..." Han Jiayi muttered in a low voice.
"Indeed, it's better to be better than the top than the bottom, but if this continues, it will sooner or later ruin this IP." Bai Renzong sneered, then looked at the time, "Then, where are you going to go for a walk today? Or go home?"
Han Jiayi looked at the time and it was five o'clock in the afternoon: "It's too early to go back now... It's rare to go out shopping today, and go back after dinner?"
"Okay, where do you want to eat?" Bai Renzong asked curiously.
Han Jiayi blinked at him and smiled mischievously: "Follow me and take you to eat delicious boiled fish."
Then, Han Jiayi took him to a store called "Late Rice".
"The business is so good on weekdays..." Bai Renzong looked around and muttered to himself, "It is worthy of being a famous local old store."
Although this "late rice" is only one Michelin star, the Michelin thing is for foreigners to see.
As a Chinese restaurant, "Late Rice" is very popular in China, especially in the local area. It is an old store for decades. Boiled fish and chopped pepper fish head are the two major signs of this store. They are even marked separately on the local travel book. They are a must-check-in restaurant for traveling to Beichang City.
The reason why Bai Renzong did not come here to visit the shop is because it is already too famous and there is no need to visit the shop.
"Here you come! It smells so good..." Looking at the boiled fish brought up, Han Jiayi clapped her little hands happily and said with a smile.
"Come on." Bai Renzong grabbed the chopsticks and handed them to her, and the two of them tasted it together.
Bai Renzong sighed silently: There is no harm without comparison. In this way, what is the boiled fish in the Yushenfang...?
"It's so delicious!" Han Jiayi said happily, then looked at Bai Renzong and joked, "Just make an evaluation, Lao Bai?"
Bai Renzong said quickly: "The fish is very fresh. Although it is a bit spicy, it is mainly used. The more gentle the taste of pepper instead of pepper can be used. Even people like me who are not very spicy can bear it. Other seasonings, ginger, garlic, oyster sauce, cooking wine... are all just the norm. As for the special features..."
Speaking of this, Bai Renzong raised his eyebrows: "I gave some lemon juice inside to provide a little sourness, which can also make the fish more firm. In addition, I also gave a few slices of mint titian. But..."
Bai Renzong shook his head: "That fragrance... cannot be said to be from the oil they use. I have never eaten this oil. It is not peanut oil, nor soybean oil, corn oil, lard..."
"Can it be olive oil? This special fragrance." Han Jiayi asked curiously.
Bai Renzong still shook his head: "No, I have tasted olive oil, it's not that kind of taste."
"It's tea seed oil." An uncle in his fifties explained at this time, smiling.
"Ah--!" Bai Renzong suddenly realized, "It turned out to be tea seed oil... I said that the aroma of this oil is very special, perfectly blending with the aroma provided by lemon juice and mint. After eating it in one bite, the strange fragrance in the mouth and the aroma of pepper is like a lingering sound, which will not dissipate for a long time. It's really... endless aftertaste. Sure enough, it's worthy of being an old store for decades."
"No, this recipe is actually a new version of boiled fish developed by my son-in-law." The uncle smiled bitterly, "The previous recipe... has been replaced. Sometimes we have to follow the times to make progress."
It was obviously an old store, but he was still pursuing innovation? Bai Renzong thought to himself in surprise, but his mind suddenly flashed.
"That..." Bai Renzong smiled dryly, "Is your son-in-law... related to Yangliuzhai?"
The uncle also seemed very surprised: "The boss of Yangliuzhai is my son-in-law! Do you know him?"
I just said how the style of this boiled fish is so similar to that person! No wonder Yangliuzhai closes at three or four o'clock every day... Bai Renzong thought to himself.
"You are Brother Xing's father-in-law?!" Han Jiayi looked at the uncle in front of her in shock and asked.
"Yes, my name is Yang Chengzhi, and I am the manager of this restaurant." The uncle said with a kind smile, "It's rare to be so destined to be so destined. I'll treat you to this meal."
"No, no!" Bai Renzong replied quickly, "How can you be so embarrassed?"
"Don't mind, it's also a reward for your recognition of goods." Yang Chengzhi raised his hand to stop him, "You can immediately find that the secret inside is 'oil' when you eat it for the first time. You are the first one."
