Chapter 851: A Foodie's Festival

People visit the temple mainly to buy some local products and daily necessities, and by the way, watch small plays and juggling, and have entertainment. In short, people who visit temples don't do it for food. But people burn incense, shop, and entertain at the temple, and they always have to wander around for a long time, and they are bound to be hungry and tired. When you see all kinds of delicious food, you can't help but have an appetite. Therefore, the food stalls at the temple fair are naturally full.

Those who operate flavor snacks at the temple fair have its characteristics, generally they are floating stalls, some support a cloth shed, show the font number, and put a case and bench inside; some only put the burden or push the wheelbarrow to the temple to stop, let people surround them, stand and eat. Affordable, suitable for the consumption level of the common people at that time. At regular temple fairs, food stalls are more concentrated, while temporary festivals are mostly mixed with local products, department stores, and entertainers.

In fact, most of the snacks at the temple fair are the daily street and alley food sold in Beijing, which has the local characteristics of Beijing, suitable for the taste of the people of the imperial capital, and forms a fixed set.

Lin Hang and Lin Peipei's favorite thing to eat is the rock sugar gourd that looks red, in fact, Zhang Tianyuan also likes to eat this thing.

Rock sugar gourd, so that many people can recall their childhood, the sour and sweet taste, still fresh in memory. Rock sugar gourd, in the Song Dynasty began the ancient practice, the history has long been recorded, the Qing Dynasty prevailed in various places, teahouses, theaters, streets and alleys can be seen everywhere, has become a traditional snack in our country.

When I was a child, when I visited the temple fair, as long as I heard that there were rock sugar gourds for sale, my saliva immediately flowed out, which was called a gluttonous person.

There is a kind of tea soup in it, which Zhang Tianyuan's parents and Lin Feng's parents both like it very much. But it seems that young people are a little unaccustomed to drinking, anyway, Zhang Tianyuan doesn't like this taste very much.

The tea soup is fried millet noodles with brown sugar. Flush with boiling water. Camellia oleifera is made by stir-frying flour in butter or vegetable oil, adding sugar, and rinsing it with boiling water. Tea soup and camellia have the so-called "eight treasures". In fact, it is to add some fruits such as hawthorn strips, green and red silk, raisins, walnut pulps, melon seeds, etc., to make it sweet and delicious, and have a unique flavor.

Actually, it sounds very fragrant, but it's a pity that Zhang Tianyuan didn't have this blessing.

Of course, there are dislikes. There is also a favorite, Zhang Tianyuan encountered a kind of fried enema, or a snack called fried enema. I like it very much, this thing is also available in Shaanzhou, and it tastes quite good.

"The Ancient Capital Food Hundred Songs" mentions fried enema and says: "Pig intestine red powder is fried for a while, and spicy garlic and salty salt are said to be delicious." It has been rotted and fishy, and it has the same flavor as cured meat. Tumen's munching is also pitiful. ”

On the streets of the old imperial capital, there were often hawkers selling this food. It is recorded: "Powder-filled pig intestines should be fried and scorched." Shovel bells, chopsticks and saucers are picked on one shoulder, and children with special flavors buy them, passing through a few Xieyang Lane. ”

In addition to these, there are actually many more, such as bean juice, hot and sour noodles, stinky tofu, mutton skewers, pee beef balls, pea huanger, grilled cake jelly, etc., all of which are delicious.

Especially the peeing cow balls, every Spring Festival temple fair, you will definitely find the figure of "peeing cow balls" in many food stalls. When the fragrant peeing cow pills were placed in front of us, everyone was overwhelmed by the elasticity. I am deeply attracted by the fragrant deliciousness. Put it in your mouth and bite it gently, a stream of broth bursts out of the beef balls, the soup is delicious, the meat is delicate, the more you eat, the more you eat, the more you chew, the stronger it is.

The so-called temple fair is nothing more than playing and eating, now that I have had enough to play, and I have eaten almost enough, Zhang Tianyuan and Lin Feng and Nie Zhen drove everyone home, and then he went to the market alone to buy cigarettes, alcohol and tea, and went to the hospital to visit the shopkeeper.

If it weren't for the mention of the shopkeeper, he might not have gone on this trip, after all, the shopkeeper Yu is not Zhuge Liang, and Zhang Tianyuan is not Liu Bei, but since people have mentioned it, he, who is a junior, even if he is the big boss of the HRE Group, has to give people a little face, and when he goes there, he must bring some gifts.

Tobacco, alcohol and tea are common gifts, that is to say, they can be given to anyone, not to mention that the tobacco, alcohol and tea that Zhang Tianyuan bought are all good and high-grade, and this gift is definitely enough.

The third day of the first lunar month is called "Xiao Nian Chao", also known as "Red Dog Day". Legend has it that "Red Dog" is the "God of Wrath", and those who meet him will definitely be unlucky, so the third day of the first month is a "fierce day", and it is not suitable to go out. It is said that on the third day of the new year, who will quarrel with whom, so do not pay New Year's greetings; in addition, the word "deficit" has the meaning of "extreme poverty", so the Han people do not feast on this day, and will offend the "red dog" and bring poverty.

However, in Shaanzhou, there is no such taboo, anyway, Zhang Tianyuan and the people in their hometown have a lot of visiting relatives and friends in the third year of junior high school, maybe the more they go on, such an unscientific so-called tradition will gradually disappear.

Of course, Zhang Tianyuan didn't know if the Yu family had this taboo, so he went to the street to buy a tongue charm, if you must go out to pay New Year's greetings, you can put a tongue charm bag on your body to dissolve the tongue, not that he is superstitious, the key is that he is afraid that others will care.

The car drove into the hospital where the shopkeeper was located, the environment of this hospital was still quite good, after parking the car in the parking lot, Zhang Tianyuan took out his mobile phone and dialed Mr. Yu's phone, he knew that it was this hospital, but he didn't know what building and ward the shopkeeper was in, he was too lazy to inquire, so he called Mr. Yu directly and asked Mr. Yu to come out to pick it up.

This hospital is not very big, and it is mainly for the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and the rest of the departments are not very strong, so naturally it doesn't take much space, and it didn't take long for Mr. Yu to run out sweaty, this is winter, he actually ran sweaty, and it looks like he was really afraid of snubbing Zhang Tianyuan.

"Oh, Boss Zhang, you can come, what else do you bring, it's embarrassing to make people embarrassed, I'll carry the things." Teacher Yu came up and quickly took the things in Zhang Tianyuan's hand, and took Zhang Tianyuan into the hospital building.

There is always that strange smell in the hospital, and every time Zhang Tianyuan comes, he is not very used to it, so if he has any fever and cold, he would rather go to a small clinic than go to the hospital.

"Yu shopkeeper, I have a New Year's greeting for you, are you feeling better?"

Regardless of whether you know each other or not, anyway, at this time, the shopkeeper lives in a single ward. There must be one lying on the boat, so as soon as Zhang Tianyuan entered the ward, he quickly arched his hand and said.

There was no one else in the ward. Probably all of them went to visit relatives and friends, and there must have been overtime, so there is only Teacher Yu who takes care of Lao Yu here.

The teacher can see that it is good at this time, and the students have winter vacation, and they also have winter vacation, which is quite a good thing. You can also take time out to take care of the old shopkeeper.

Seeing Zhang Tianyuan bowing his hand, the old shopkeeper also hurriedly got up to salute, but was stopped by Zhang Tianyuan: "You are unwell. You don't have to return the favor. ”

Regarding traditions, Zhang Tianyuan feels that there should be a principle, and some traditions cannot be lost, because there is no harm. For example, bow the hand. For example, honoring one's parents, and some traditions can be completely discarded, because there is no meaning, such as the tradition of Chikou, which is not a good tradition, and for example, the etiquette of kneeling, this can also be without.

There are also traditions that could be improved, such as setting off firecrackers. This firecracker can be improved and made free of pollution. There is no danger.

So after entering the ward, Zhang Tianyuan first made a bowing salute, he felt that this etiquette was really good, it could express respect for a person, and it could also avoid the uneasiness caused by contact.

"Boss Zhang, what kind of tea do you drink?" Teacher Yu was busy making tea for Zhang Tianyuan over there, so he asked.

"Green tea. "Zhang Tianyuan actually drinks any tea, but his favorite is green tea, many people like to say casually at this time, it seems that there is no requirement, but in fact, the requirements are higher, so that others don't know what to do, so it is better to say green tea directly.

"It's a pity, this is not at home, otherwise, you must use the best tea set and the best green tea to entertain Boss Zhang, and now you can only settle down." The old shopkeeper sighed and said.

"What are you afraid of, the glass is the best, the green tea is tumbling in the boiling water, stretching and other forms, and the changes can be seen clearly. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"You're right, but if you pay attention to tea, you still have to use a purple clay pot. At this time, a person walked in outside the door, with a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl beside her, this girl has a round face, a slightly fat figure, but not fat, her kind of fat, people feel very suitable, if you are thinner, it will not look good.

It should be said that this is called plumpness, if you travel to the Tang Dynasty, this girl must be a first-class beauty, and when she smiles, she is very good-looking.

"Teacher Zhang!" Zhang Tianyuan was taken aback, because it was not someone else who walked in the door, but Teacher Zhang Confucius of the Palace Museum, in order to distinguish the two of them, others called Zhang Rusheng Teacher Da Zhang, and called him Teacher Xiao Zhang.

This Confucian told him when he was on the TV station, saying that he had worked with the surnamed Xia before, and he had always felt guilty in his heart, feeling that he couldn't find out that the surname Xia was a bastard in time, but he didn't expect him to come to visit the shopkeeper Yu, aren't you afraid of being driven away?

But what happened next made him feel relieved, because both Teacher Yu and the shopkeeper showed great enthusiasm for Zhang Rusheng's appearance, and it is estimated that the misunderstanding between them has been explained clearly, which is the best, otherwise, it will really have to deal with the trouble of the Red Mouth.

"Hahaha, Teacher Zhang, you're here too, that's great. "Zhang Rusheng is a neat academic researcher, belongs to the kind of person who only cares about research, and is not willing to meddle in affairs, he is generally not very interested in power and status, the reason why he is willing to make friends with Zhang Tianyuan is not because Zhang Tianyuan's background is hard, but purely because Zhang Tianyuan's ability makes him admire.

"This is Teacher Zhang's daughter, right? She looks so beautiful, she should go to college, right?" Zhang Tianyuan looked at the girl next to Zhang Rusheng, thinking about what gift to give, if this girl called him a big brother, then he must have to give a gift, this is the New Year, if it is usual, forget it, if you don't give a gift, you have to give a red envelope, but I hate that he has already sent out the red envelope, and he didn't have much cash on him.

If there is no gift to give, then this person will lose a lot of money.

"You are Zhang Tianyuan, my dad always praises you in my ear, saying how amazing you are, when I see you today, it's just that, I thought you had three heads and six arms. Originally, Zhang Tianyuan was very enthusiastic, but when he heard this girl say such things, he directly snorted coldly and said: "Whether I have three heads and six arms, that's none of your business, at a young age, you have to learn to speak first." ”

Lao Tzu didn't steal you, he didn't rob you, and he praised you for being beautiful, are you a big deal......?
