Chapter 116: Thirteen Snacks in Forty-Nine Cities
After coming out of Jingshan Park, Xiao Yayun and I went back to the hotel first, exchanged two hacker experience cards, and then connected to the hotel's network, I not only restored Wang Ying's deleted Weibo, but also turned all the news pushed by Weibo today into a girls' hotel was hijacked, and finally changed everyone's permissions to the status of not being able to change the news push.
By the time I finished all this qiē, it was already more than ten o'clock, I turned off my notebook and stood up to look at Xiao Yayun, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and playing with her mobile phone, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's eat." ”
Xiao Yayun put her phone aside and looked at me with a smile, "Dinner?" Your Majesty, do you mean breakfast or lunch? ”
This girl has just complained to me that she is hungry several times, and I ignored it. Now when I hear this, I can't help but smile bitterly: "You are turning around and scolding me for ignoring you." ”
Xiao Yayun snorted, "You can understand it like that." ”
I shrugged my shoulders, "So are you going to eat?" ”
Xiao Yayun stood up directly and smiled brightly, "Go!" What to eat. ”
I pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "I guess you don't want to eat ordinary fast food, today is Thursday, and you don't have classes." How about I take you to eat all the snacks in Sijiu City? ”
Xiao Yayun was stunned, "Thirteen snacks in Forty-Nine City?" What is this? ”
"The thirteen snacks of Sijiu City are the collective name of the thirteen snacks in the imperial capital, which are bean flour cake, Aiwowo, sugar roll fruit, ginger shredded chop fork, sugar ear, noodle tea, steamed twist flower, toad spit honey, coke ring, sugar fire, pea yellow, fried liver, and cream fried cake."
Xiao Yayun's eyes lit up suddenly, obviously attracted by these names that she had heard and unheard, she took my arm and walked out of the room, "This idea is very good, so happily decided!" ”
Most of the snacks in the imperial capital originated from Muslim snacks, and most of the thirteen snacks in the four or nine cities are even more so, so if you want to eat the most authentic imperial capital snacks, you should go to the Muslim gathering area.
I originally wanted to take Xiao Yayun to Niu Street first, Niu Street is a section of the imperial capital from Guang'anmen Nei Street in the north to Nanheng Street in the south, because of the Hui people living on this street is famous, but also because there is a Niujie Temple on this street is famous all over the world, and there are many famous shops selling snacks on the street.
But as soon as she got out of the hotel, Xiao Yayun was noisy and hungry to eat, and it would take more than an hour to take the subway from the hotel to Niu Street.
Huguosi snacks are one of the representatives of local snacks in Beijing, which is known for its rich varieties, outstanding characteristics and profound historical and cultural heritage. There are chain stores of this brand in many places in the imperial capital.
Speaking of the snack bar of Huguo Temple, we have to start with the Huguo Temple in the old Sijiu City. According to historical records, Huguo Temple was built in the Yuan Dynasty. In the old days, there was a temple market on the eighth day of the lunar calendar every month, bringing together the famous and unique food stalls in the capital. The stall owners set up a cloth shed, showed the font number, put on the case, bench, and some simply put the burden on their shoulders or pushed the wheelbarrow to find a place, stopped in the temple, sat on the pot while setting up the stove, and placed the seasoning jar and chopsticks next to the pot, which opened the "formation" and prepared to sell.
Later, this Huguo Temple snack evolved into a brand representing the imperial capital snack.
After arriving at the snack bar, I ordered cream fried cakes, donkey rolling, Aiwowo and a ginger shredded pork fork, and ordered a big bowl of soy milk for Xiao Yayun and me.
As for the soy juice, the taste is really unacceptable
The first to come up is donkey rolling, donkey rolling, also known as bean flour cake, is one of the ancient varieties in the imperial capital snacks. The raw material for donkey rolling is steamed with yellow rice flour and water, and the soybeans are fried and rolled into flour. When making zuò, the steamed yellow rice noodles are dipped in soybean flour and rolled into slices, then smeared with red bean paste filling and rolled up, cut into small pieces, and sprinkled with sugar.
Don't look at the process of making zuò seems simple, but when this donkey rolls to make zuò, the stuffing is required to be evenly rolled and clearly layered, just like the golden cake, there are many people who can make it, but there are very few who can really do it well.
I picked up a piece of donkey and rolled and tasted it, the sweetness overshadowed the due soybean flour fragrance, and the taste can only be said to be average, which is the disadvantage of local specialty snacks made into a large chain brand.
Local snacks have become a large chain brand, although they can play a role in inheritance and publicity, but in addition to the stores with masters, the snacks in other stores are absolutely hard to taste.
The second and third courses came up together, which were ginger silk pai fork and Aiwowo respectively.
Aiwowo this kind of food is washed and soaked with glutinous rice, then steamed in the cage drawer, kneaded evenly after cooling, kneaded into a small agent, pressed into a round skin, wrapped with peach kernels, sesame seeds, melon seed kernels, green plums, golden cakes, sugar, mixed into filling, it became the food called Wowo during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Originally, this kind of food was called Wowo, and the reason why there was an extra word Ai was related to the emperor. Legend has it that there was an emperor who loved to eat this kind of wowo, and when he wanted to eat or wanted to eat it, he commanded: "Yu Ai wowo." Later, this kind of food was introduced to the people, and the ordinary people could not and did not dare to say the word "royal", so the word "royal" was omitted and called "Aiwowo".
The ginger shredded fork is a 2 cm wide and 5 cm long fork strip, which is light yellow, crispy, sweet, fragrant, and has a ginger flavor. I don't like this breath very much, so I stopped eating after two chopsticks, but Xiao Yayun was very happy to eat, and I grabbed several chopsticks in a row.
I took a sip of soy milk and looked at Xiao Yayun with a smile and said, "Do you still like to eat this ginger chop." ”
Xiao Yayun put down her chopsticks, "It's okay." The main thing is that I want to try out what this snack tastes like that can be praised in poetry. “
"Oh? What poem? ”
Xiao Yayun picked up a donkey and rolled it into her mouth, and said vaguely: "It's all about craftsmanship to make the future, and the specific face is slightly coaxing the child." The brocade box is well decorated, and the exquisite and small genius is seen. This week's human geography class in the imperial capital happened to talk about snacks, and the teacher specially mentioned this poem. In the past, the vendors who sold this kind of small fried food on the flyover would still shout like this, buy a pack, spare a pack, Jiangxi Lalai, Laqin pepper. The uncle will wrestle after eating, the official wrestling, the cripple is lame and the waist is hooped. Marijuana flowers, broken chop forks, ten brocade flowers, a large pack of fried chop forks. ”
A laugh suddenly came from the side, "Girl, your shouting is right, but the tone is wrong." ”
Xiao Yayun and I turned our heads to see that it was an old man in a coat, a black coat, and old-fashioned cloth shoes on his feet.
Seeing this old man's outfit, I couldn't help but feel in my heart in the imperial capital, could this be a Manchu relic.
