Chapter 1194: Snack battle

"Uh, miss, don't get excited, please calm down." Xiao Peng said into the phone.
"Are you Xiao Sheng?" the girl asked.
Xiao Peng said, "This is Xiao Peng, who are you?"
People here like to call people ‘sheng’, which actually means ‘sir’, and there is also the meaning of ‘xiaosheng’ in this ‘sheng’, which is also a polite way of praising people for being handsome.
The girl excitedly said: "Xiao Sheng, wait a minute, I'm Mr. Guo's assistant, wait a minute, I have already found someone to look for Mr. Guo."
Xiao Peng suddenly realized that it was Guo Sihua.
Before long, Guo Sihua's voice came over: "Brother Xiao, you are driving me crazy! Why don't you answer the phone?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Brother Guo, I was in the library just now. The phone was muted and I didn't hear it."
Guo Sihua was silent for a while: "Brother Xiao is really different. He didn't go to Hong Kong Island to play but went to the library to study. No wonder your business is doing so well. Have you finished reading the book?"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng said in his heart: Who said no more? Mom and they are all tired and get down, okay? "Just finished reading, come out to eat something. Guo Brother, what's the matter?"
Guo Sihua took a deep breath: "Of course something happened! Brother Xiao, today is my father's birthday! I sent all the invitations to Qianliyan. Didn't you see?"
Xiao Peng was taken aback: "Is it today? Sorry Guo, I forgot the time when I read the book. To be honest, I really didn't see the invitation card. I had already come to Hong Kong Island when you gave me the invitation card."
"Ah, Brother Xiao, I'm still afraid that you don't want to come here and don't care about this. I didn't expect you to come early." Guo Sihua said in surprise.
Xiao Peng wanted to tell him that you were right, and I really didn't care about it. I didn't plan to go, just to check materials in this library, and bring my mother and children over to play. He originally didn't want to go to Guo Sihua's house, and his friendship with Guo Sihua was limited to two people. He didn't have the idea of ​​knowing Guo Sihua's seven aunts, eight aunts and nine uncles.
But he really can't say that now, because the more he checks the information, the more he is interested in the "Iris". He is not interested in the gold and platinum on it. What if there is really that skull fossil on it? That is the treasure of the entire mankind.
There are still many people who question whether there are skull fossils on the Awa Maru, because the skull fossils were snatched by the Japanese country three years after Awa Maru sank, and they were snatched in the north. How could it be possible? What about appearing on the Awamaru in the south three years later?
However, when the Awa Maru was salvaged, the jade seals collected by Zheng Yu, a politician of the Manchukuo government, and the round inkstones that were given to future generations by the manchurian traitor Zheng Xiaoxu during the burial of the manchurian patriarch Zheng Xiaoxu were obtained. The Japanese people searched for cultural relics and treasures from northern China and mounted them on the "Awawan". The fossil of the skull is probably also on it.
Now that he had clues about skull fossils, Xiao Peng didn't want to give up. Gold and silver properties were a trivial matter to him. But he didn't want to miss such treasures as skull fossils.
And now the clues are in the hands of Qiu Shan Lihui, Qiu Shan Lihui should be at Guo's house now, it seems Xiao Peng really has to go to Guo's house.
"Brother Guo, look at what you said. My principle of doing things is to'return the grace of dripping water to the spring.' At that time, you didn't help me start the abalone on Hong Kong Island. My development was not so fast. Later, you too. It has helped me a lot, including the construction of Qianliyan, the construction of the Sidao Town Senior Center, etc. Isn't it better than my heart? So I can feel relieved about what you said. But... I really don’t know. Father's birthday is today, so I didn't make any preparations," Xiao Peng said.
Guo Sihua laughed: "What should I prepare? Which library are you in?"
Regardless of the fact that Hong Kong Island is small, there are many libraries. There are more than 30 public museums, large and small. That's why Guo Sihua asked.
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "I'm at the Central Library in Causeway Bay... A snack bar near the Typhoon Shelter. Let me know the address and I'll buy some gifts."
"What gift to buy? My father's best gift is from you. Why are you so polite? Tell me the address and I will pick you up." Guo Sihua said cheerfully.
Xiao Peng told Guo Sihua the address, and the two hung up. Xiao Peng continued to eat. It should be impossible to fill his stomach at night like that, so let's eat his own first.
Not to mention, these Hong Kong Island snacks taste really good. Xiao Peng loves it the more he eats it-the amount is too small. Just like the bowl of wings, he drank four bowls in one go and felt that it was too few.
He opened his stomach to eat there, and everyone next to him looked stupid! A few young people dressed in very Japanese style also ate here, watching Xiao Peng with wide-eyed eyesXiao Peng ate more by himself than a group of them.
A young man with dyed brown hair greeted Xiao Peng in unstandard Mandarin, "Hey, buddy, is it delicious?"
Xiao Peng nodded sincerely after hearing this: "It's really delicious!"
This is really not Xiao Peng being polite. The food on Hong Kong Island is really good. Although the taste is not small from the north, it cannot be denied that the people here are definitely writing articles on "eating", just like this. The roadside shops have been open for decades, if the taste is not enough, then it is absolutely impossible to continue!
Let’s say that this bowl of young wings uses vermicelli as the main ingredient. The soup is boiled with starch until thick, colored with dark soy sauce, and seasoned with sesame oil, vinegar, chili oil and white pepper. It is clearly a vermicelli. As a result, it was made into shark fin soup, which tasted very good!
There is also Pee Beef Ball, which is the thing in "The God of Cookery", but this is not invented by Zhou Xingchi, but as early as the Songjiang Ancient Town in the Shunzhi Year of the Qing Dynasty, it was carefully developed by the Wang family through special crafts and formulas. Later, Wang His descendants arrived on Hong Kong Island and became a famous food on Hong Kong Island.
The sirloin is also a favorite of Hong Kong people. It is cooked with beef belly and beef bones for several hours until the sirloin is soft and delicious while the essence is incorporated into the broth. At the beginning, there was only sirloin in clear soup. , The taste is good. In the early days, Hong Kong Island and Indo San were both British colonies, so many Indians came to live on Hong Kong Island and brought curry with them. The curry sirloin was developed on the sirloin in clear soup.
To be honest: These things are really delicious!
The young man continued to ask: "Have you not eaten it?"
"Huh?" Xiao Peng raised his head and glanced at him. What do you mean? Why does this sound so awkward?
The young man laughed and said: "These snacks are what we are tired of but you eat them like this. It really makes us feel funny."
Xiao Peng blinked: "Is it funny?"
The young man nodded: "Really! You came from the mainland, right? How bitter is your life there? If you haven't eaten something so delicious, then eat more. If you leave here, you won't have to eat."
Xiao Pengle said: "I'm going. I used to hear a word called'frog at the bottom of the well'. I originally thought it was an adjective. There would be no such stupid people in society. But I was wrong. There really are such people. what!"
"What are you talking about?" Several people stared at Xiao Peng together.
Xiao Peng shrugged: "Have you eaten the roast duck, fried belly, and braised pork in the Imperial Capital? Have you eaten the pot-tasting loin, Goubuli steamed buns, and hemp flower in Jinmen? Have you eaten the donkey meat in Hebei? Hand steak in Inner Mongolia. Have you eaten lamb? Heilongjiang's pot meat? Liaoning's pig head stewed vermicelli, Jilin's steamed white fish, Gansu's beef noodles, Henan's spicy soup, Lingbao pork sandwiches, yellow river carp... I can count out two thousand northern snacks for you in one breath. How many kinds of snacks have you eaten? Isn't it just a few kinds of snacks? Why do you still have a sense of superiority?"
After hearing Xiao Peng’s words, a girl next to him said: "This gentleman, don’t blame my friend. He has no other meaning. We are just happy for the snacks in our hometown. He is not very good at talking, hope You don’t mind."
Xiao Peng smiled at the girl, it seemed that he was too sensitive.
But the girl continued: "But, you just said, "It's not just a few kinds of snacks." I don't agree with this statement. The street food here on Hong Kong Island is more than 100 years old. Breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus snacks and syrup Different shops have different characteristics. It is no exaggeration to say that our local snacks on Hong Kong Island are comparable to the whole world."
Xiao Peng shook his head: "I can recognize everything else you said, but you said that local snacks on Hong Kong Island can compete in the world? Don't talk about these words from the magic city, Chengdu, Chongqing, etc. People say these things, otherwise they will really fight. The snacks in those places are really no worse than Hong Kong Island. In the future, if you walk around and take a look, you won’t say such things..."
"What do you mean? Is it a joke of our buns?" A young man was anxious.
Xiao Peng shook his head: "I just suggested that you walk more and take a look. Why are you more sensitive than me? You said that if we quarrel about something important about the family and the country, it would be excusable. Isn't it making people laugh? Too naive, too naive!"
The girl shook her head just now: "Sir, what you said is wrong. For us Hong Kong Islanders, whether it is luxury restaurants or street food, they are an indispensable part of our Hong Kong Islanders’ lives. Whether it's the rich, the nobles or the celebrities, they are all fans of these street foods." As soon as she finished speaking, a Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped at the door: "Look, I'm driving a Rolls-Royce to eat snacks! "
As a result, the people who got up and down from Rolls-Royce pushed open the restaurant door and walked directly to Xiao Peng: "Brother Xiao, I'm here to pick you up!"
"Ah, Brother Guo, you came quite early."
