Breakfast trilogy: Ice Peak / Meat Sandwich Steamed Bun / Peppery Soup
Shortly after the story began, the director of the Qin Cavity Tuan Iron Buckle invited everyone to eat and wrapped a whole cart of meatball paste spicy soup and 250 bacon steamed buns, and asked the workers who installed the table to let go.

The meal we are talking about today is the famous snack - meatball peppery soup and bacon steamed buns.
Meatballs peppery soup
Peppery soup is most common in the northern cities of Henan and Shaanxi, while meatball peppery soup originates from Xi'an.

The best meatball peppery soup in Xi'an should be done by the Muslims. Small bowls and large bowls vary in price at 9-14 yuan / bowl.

The fiery red oil chili peppers emit a charming aroma in the constantly stirring peppery soup, which makes the peppery soup change from the original rich aroma to the delicate and appetizing.
