The Pentium Era - South to North
Chapter 2242 Dancing Beef
After breakfast at the hotel, Zhang Xiangbei, Xiangnan and Bao Tianbin set off for Ding'an and planned to stay in Haicheng in the evening.
Xiangou Centennial Cattle Market is located in Dingcheng Town, where the county government of Ding'an County is located. The original Xiangou Town, Dingcheng Town and Longzhou Township merged in 2002 to form the new Dingcheng Town. The area under the original jurisdiction of Xiangou Town is It became the Xiangou community.
It is more than 220 kilometers from Sanya to Dingcheng and can be reached directly by taking the east line of the Ring Island Expressway. Bao Tianbin and Zhang Xiangbei said that Xiangou now is different from when you and President Wu came.
"Why is it different? The century-old bull market is gone?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.
"The Centennial Cattle Market is still there, but now it has been changed to the Centennial Cattle Market Farmhouse. However, the cattle trading is the same as before. There is nothing to see. When you came last time, the beef shop was on Xiantun Road near the Centennial Cattle Market. Now it is basically there. Moved to Siyuan Road, closer to the city, Ding'an Beef is now famous," Bao Tianbin said.
Today, Zhang Xiangbei is driving, Xiangnan is sitting in the passenger seat, and Bao Tianbin is sitting in the back seat. This section of the east line of the Ring Island Expressway can be said to be one of the most beautiful expressways in China. Of course, Zhang Xiangbei does not want to miss this Opportunity.
Bao Tianbin and Zhang Xiangbei said, "Don't worry. We are going to Ding'an today mainly to eat beef. You can eat dancing beef there almost 24 hours a day. We can arrive at any time."
"Dancing beef? Mr. Bao, what do you mean?" Xiang Nan asked.
"The beef is very fresh. The market where the beef is sold is only a few hundred meters away from the slaughterhouse. The beef comes from the slaughterhouse and is hung there or placed on the chopping board. The nerves of the beef are still moving, as if dancing, almost. It will take half an hour for the beef to stop moving, so it’s very simple to check whether the beef is fresh or not. If it moves, it must have been freshly slaughtered.”
As Bao Tianbin said, Xiang Nan didn't believe it anymore and asked, "Does beef really move?"
"It really can move. You can see it later." Bao Tianbin said with a smile, "The slaughterhouse kills the cows based on the beef sales at the stalls. They kill and sell them now. They don't say they will kill forty today." They kill all the cows at once. They kill them only when they are almost sold out. This ensures that the beef being sold is always moving.
"There is no way. After Ding'an's dancing beef became famous, everyone went there and looked for beef that could move. Non-moving beef couldn't be sold," Bao Tianbin told them.
"Ding'an black pig bone soup is also very famous. I remember eating it when we came here. It tasted good. In Ding'an County, the streets are full of black pig bone soup." Zhang Xiangbei said.
"You can hardly see it now. The black pork bone soup was made and gone." Bao Tianbin said.
"How could this happen?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.
"I don't know the specifics. A friend will come later. You can ask him. He knows this."
"Your comrades?" Zhang Xiangbei remembered that the last time they went from Qiongzhong to Ding'an, Bao Tianbin's comrades received them here.
"No." Bao Tianbin said, "It's my comrade's brother, Lao Qi, the president of the catering and cooking association here."
Zhang Xiangbei listened with interest. He was the president of the Catering and Cooking Association. He was indeed knowledgeable about this industry. He could ask him many questions.
When the car arrived in Ding'an, the Ring Island Expressway divided the entire Ding'an County into two. Laoding Town was on the left, and the original Xiangou Town area, now Xiangou Community, was on the right.
There are no toll stations on Hainan's expressways, and the tolls are all added to the oil. Therefore, the oil in Hainan is more expensive than in the mainland. When entering the island from the mainland, or when leaving the island and returning to the island, you will have to put your car's car in Hai'an when preparing to cross the ferry. The fuel tank is full.
A mainland kid like Zhang Xiangbei is always a little uncomfortable driving on the highway in Hainan. When he entered the ramp, he consciously started to look for the toll station. But when the ramp was completed and the highway was connected to the city road, he remembered that here It was in Hainan and there was no toll booth. Zhang Xiangbei couldn't help but smile.
There was no need for a navigation system. Bao Tianbin was the navigation system. He directed Zhang Xiangbei to turn right off the off-ramp and onto Xian'an Road. After driving forward for five or six minutes, he saw Siyuan Road. This road was originally the main road in Xiangou. Zhang Xiangbei remembered that there were many black pork bone soup restaurants on this roadside, but as expected today, he didn't see any of them.
When they were approaching the intersection of Siyuan Road, Bao Tianbin shouted: "Keep right, keep right, Mr. Zhang, keep right and stop."
Zhang Xiangbei saw two people standing on the roadside. One looked very familiar. He should be a comrade of Bao Tianbin. The last time he and Xiao Wu came here, they had dinner together. There was also a middle-aged man in his forties. He has dark skin, high cheekbones, and short hair. He looks like he is from Hainan. He should be Lao Qi, President Qi.
Zhang Xiangbei pulled over and slowed down. Bao Tianbin's comrade raised his hand towards Zhang Xiangbei and grinned. Zhang Xiangbei wanted to stop the car, but he waved his hand and turned around. He kept waving his hand, letting Zhang Xiangbei know. Zhang Xiangbei drove to follow, walked five or six meters forward, waved his hand in the air and swiped to the right. On the right was the yard of a unit, and Zhang Xiangbei drove in.
Someone came out of the communication room. His comrade shouted, and then he stepped back. Zhang Xiangbei parked next to the two cars inside.
Zhang Xiangbei asked Bao Tianbin: "Old Bao, what is your comrade's name? I can't remember it."
"Ahua." Bao Tianbin said.
The three of them got out of the car, and Ah Hua had already greeted them, holding Zhang Xiangbei's hand and saying, "Hello, hello, Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Xiangbei said: "Hello, Ah Hua, we meet again."
Ahua chuckled.
At this time, Lao Qi walked in from the outside, and Ah Hua introduced them to each other. Lao Qi smiled and said, "No introduction is needed. Mr. Zhang, I know him. He is the boss of "Zhai Xian Delivery". I have met him online."
Zhang Xiangbei quickly said that it was already past tense, President Qi, I have long admired your name.
Ahua told them that the car was parked here and we walked there. There was only a little way.
Zhang Xiangbei said yes.
Sure enough, it was only a little way away. When I turned the corner diagonally across the street, I saw a long row of more than 20 stalls selling beef on one side of the street. Opposite there were restaurants, mainly engaged in beef processing. This formation , just like the seafood stalls in Sanya and the seafood stalls under Banqiao Road and Renmin Bridge in Haicheng.
The scale is indeed larger than what I saw on Xiantun Road when I first came here. However, Xiantun Road is only one street away from here, and they just passed by it.
Bao Tianbin said that for the beef here, he buys the meat himself and then goes to the opposite side for processing. The restaurant charges a processing fee by weighing the weight. Of course, you can also entrust the restaurant to buy it on your behalf.
"Isn't that the same as a seafood stall?" Zhang Xiangbei said.
Bao Tianbin said that's right, that's it. Restaurants are actually processing plants.
Zhang Xiangbei and the others came closer, and sure enough they saw the beef on the chopping board and hanging on the stall. The pieces were beating constantly, or more accurately, they were twitching. Zhang Xiangbei looked at it in great surprise. , Xiangnan held Zhang Xiangbei’s hand, leaned close to his ear and said:
"too horrible."
Zhang Xiangbei laughed and thought, if there was a piece of meat placed on the table at home, it would keep moving on its own, and most people would be scared to death. Here, if Bao Tianbin hadn't told him before , I would be shocked when I first saw it.
It was already past 12 o'clock at noon, and there were many people buying beef here. There were several women standing on the roadside, soliciting business, and they were all shouting, "Don't move, move, move, move." of beef, pulse beef, freshly killed.
People buying beef also pointed and shouted, "It can move, it can move, it really can move."
The boss here, everyone seemed to know Lao Qi, and greeted him. Lao Qi asked them something in local dialect. They pointed to the stall in the middle, and Lao Qi led them forward.
Bao Tianbin and Zhang Xiangbei said that Lao Qi was asking them who had cow brains, and they told him that cow brains are good things and there are not many. The meat of a cow comes from the slaughterhouse and can be divided into every stall here. Yes, but cow brains are not good. They are generally not sold. People who are familiar with them come and buy them.
Bao Tianbin also told them that there was no need to bargain here. The prices at all stalls were the same. From morning to midnight, beef was sixty yuan per catty. If you entrust the store to buy it, it would be about fifty-one catties.
Zhang Xiangbei was surprised and asked: "How can I entrust the store to buy it cheaper?"
"The beef bought in the store is all untouched. It is fresh and tastes the same, but it has been killed for more than half an hour." Bao Tianbin said, "Most of the diners who come here are from I drove here from Haicheng and Sanya. I came all the way here just for the gimmick of dancing beef. Who wouldn’t be able to buy it?
"Locals know it and will entrust the store to buy it. They rarely come here to buy beef themselves."
Bao Tianbin told them that Zhang Xiangbei understood.
Lao Qi led them to a stall in the middle. The boss saw him coming and greeted him enthusiastically. Lao Qi said something to him. He nodded quickly and turned around, taking a foam filled with ice cubes from the stall. In the box, I took out a package of things wrapped in plastic wrap, and I could vaguely see that the blood inside was probably a cow brain.
Then, Lao Qi pointed to a piece of beef hanging at the stall that was moving very happily and asked, "How do you like this piece?"
Bao Tianbin said yes.
Lao Qi said: "This piece should weigh about two catties and eight taels, it's almost there, just right."
Zhang Chen looked at this piece of beef and thought it should be three and a half to four kilograms. When it was weighed, it was two kilograms and seventy taels. Zhang Chen was surprised and asked, why is it only two kilograms and seventy taels for such a large piece of beef?
Lao Qi said to him: "Although the beef here is a bit expensive, it is real. The beef you have seen before is probably either filled with water or frozen. It is also filled with water. The meat is very absorbent. If you have ever stir-fried slices of meat, you will know it. If you add cooking wine, light soy sauce and oil, you can grab a few handfuls and it will be absorbed by the meat."
Zhang Xiangbei thought for a moment and realized that this was really the case.
"With two kilograms of beef and half a bottle of mineral water, there's no problem at all." Lao Qi added.
Ah Hua said from the side: "Yes, if we usually come as two people, we can just buy a pound of beef, half roasted and half boiled. One pound of beef can be cut into two plates. The beef from other places can be cut into so much." "
Lao Qi then asked for two more pounds of beef ribs and one pound of beef liver, and said, OK, I bought them all here.
