Chapter 2007: The New Millennium (23)
I played in Da (DL) for a few days, and then drove to Shen (sy) Yang.
Shen (sy) Yang, also known as Shengjing, also known as Fengtian, is a national regional central city, a political, economic, cultural, financial, scientific and educational, military and commercial center in Northeast China, the largest city in Northeast China, a national transportation hub, a national communication hub, and one of the top ten cities in China; With a history of 2,300 years, the city is known as "the birthplace of one dynasty and the capital of two generations of emperors", and is the most important heavy industry base in China based on equipment manufacturing, with the reputation of "the eldest son of the Republic" and "Oriental Ruhr"; It is named because it is located in the north of the ancient Shenshui (now the Hunhe River) (there is the Hunhe River in the south, and the south of the mountain and the north are yang); During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Fangcheng (the predecessor of Houcheng), an important town of Yan State, was affiliated to Xiangping County, East County of Yan Liao (LD), which was the beginning of the history of Shen (sy) Yang, more than 2,600 years ago, the Qing Dynasty Taizu Nurhachi moved the capital from Liao (ly) Yang to Shen (sy) Yang, and began to build the imperial palace in Shen (sy) Yang City, that is, the Shen (sy) Yang Forbidden City.
"The layout of the middle street has a strong modern color, but also a unique Northeast flavor, especially Liu Laogen's big stage, which is more like a business card in the Northeast. After wandering slowly on the commercial pedestrian street of Middle Street, which is full of tourists, Fang Bin clasped Yu'er's hand and said with a smile. Shen (sh) Yang climate is warm and humid, the winter is colder, the summer is not too hot, now at this time, in the south of Jiangcheng, must be shirtless and still shouting hot, the temperature is mostly in the 30 ** degrees, early 40 is also very common; But Fang Bin and Yu'er, wandering on the middle street, wearing short-sleeved shirts, did not feel the heat at all, and the temperature should be around twenty-five or six degrees.
"Huh. Northeast people are bold and enthusiastic, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the winter is very cold, the snow is closed, can not produce, can only stay at home, they call it the cat winter, there was no TV network before, there is little culture and entertainment, the two of them do not occupy much space. Grassroots programs that don't require many props and actors are also born. It has passed the long winter. It also connected everyone's feelings and enlivened the life of the neighborhood. Many of the duo-turned-actors are also farmers, so the content of some of the duo-turned-performances is somewhat vulgar. In addition to changing some classic opera content, the two of them turned around. It also synthesized Northeast folk songs, Yangge, and borrowed opera, rap and other arts to create this kind of small drama that was fun in suffering, and called it a bouncing play, much like the Western gypsy caravan art, which is a wandering art. Yu'er said with a smile.
"Yes, most of the content of the two-person transfer is written on men and women, and there are both local and era marks. And it's excusable. Fang Bin said with a smile, pointed to the door of the "Freezing Point City" next to him and said: "I heard that the ice cream here is very famous, known as Zhongjie Daguo, let's try it too?" Yu'er nodded gently. It was the height of summer, and there were a lot of people who came to Freezing Point City to buy ice cream. Fang Bin queued for a long time to buy two, the size is very large, more than one circle bigger than the ice cream in Jiangcheng or other southern cities, it smells mellow, melts in the mouth, is sweet and fragrant, and it is refreshing to eat in the stomach, and it really lives up to its reputation.
"Would you like another one?" Fang Bin saw that Yu'er was eating with relish, and asked with a smile.
"Forget it, when you go out, safety comes first, I'm afraid that the water and soil will not adapt, and you still can't eat more cold things." Yu'er glanced at the overcrowded gate of Freezing City, and said reluctantly, "Let's go eat something hot, right?" Think of it as lunch. ”
"Okay! Let's go try the snacks of the Northeast. Fang Bin understood what Yu'er meant, and he also scared her stomach trouble last time, so he didn't dare to force her, so he took her hand and walked in the direction of Snack Street.
Not far from the middle street, there are many snack bars, the famous ones are Laobian dumplings, Xita cold noodles, Lao Gao Lady sugar gourd, high-rise fragrant chicken, Korean barbecue and cake, that white meat and blood sausage, etc., many foods are similar to southern snacks, not particularly rare, but the Zhai family's donkey meat aroused Fang Bin's interest, for no other reason, there are few donkeys in the south, and they have not tried. So he smiled and said, "Baby, how about we go and taste the donkey meat?" ”
"Hmm!" Yu'er hung the man's arm and nodded gently.
Donkey meat city in Zhaijia village, the door face is not big, the house is not high, two floors, after entering, there is a very bright hall, there is also a private room, but the private room is full, the roof is decorated with green plants, hanging red lanterns; After sitting down, the first thing to order is their famous sauce donkey meat, thin slices of meat, the darker part is lean meat, and the bright part is fat, but it tastes fat but not greasy, the fragrance is mellow, and the taste seems to be similar to beef, but I feel that the meat fiber is a little longer than beef, and the fishy smell is a little heavier than beef. But the chefs here have a very good grasp of the heat, and they don't feel the dish at all, not dry or astringent, tender and warm, eat into the mouth, and soon slide down, but the final donkey skin is a little chewy, and taste the unique donkey heart, donkey liver and their homemade skin jelly, as well as the very famous donkey plate sausage, and finally the most famous donkey meat stuffed dumplings, full of fragrance.
After lunch, Yu'er proposed: "Let's go to Zhongshan Park to have a look, there is a famous cultural corridor, singing, dancing and playing cards, you can experience the enthusiasm and boldness of the Northeast people up close!" ”
"Okay! Eighteen monsters in the Northeast, the window paper is pasted outside, the kang roasts the grandfather on the brazier, the pleated leather shoes are kicked on the feet, the ice fishing is single-lined, the children are hung up, and the woman holds a big cigarette pouch! Fang Bin grinned, "How many monsters can we see?" ”
"Hee-hee-" Yu'er sneered, looking at the man and teasing, "You know quite a lot." However, feeding the children is indeed a true portrayal of the difficult life of the Northeast people in the past: the hunting life of the Manchu ancestors, and the women also had to ride horses. In order to prevent the damage of wild beasts to newborn babies, women made the first carts out of birch bark, put the children in them, and hung them on trees. Later living conditions improved, and such customs were preserved. The Han people in the north also raise their children in this way, but the car is hung on the beam of the house, and the child is safe. The car is shaken up, protected from flies and mosquitoes, and there is a slight wind, so that the child sleeps comfortably. Rocking carts, cradles, and yo-chariots are all roughly the same thing, and birch bark is generally used for production in ancient times, four feet long and two feet wide, and the two ends are semicircular, like a small boat. Later, basswood sheets were mostly used, and the edges should be painted with colors, painted patterns, and auspicious words were written. In order to prevent the child from falling out of the rocking cart, the child's elbows, knees, feet and neck should be tied with a wide band. The selection and use of Youche materials became more and more exquisite. For example, trees that bear a lot of seeds, such as elm and pine, are metaphors for having more children. For example, borrowing the cradle where the child once slept and so on. Now there is no such way to feed the children, there is a cradle, and there is no place to hang. In the past, the beams that were exposed in the house were replaced by beams made of steel bars, and the roof of the shed was also suspended. ”
"Yes, the living habits of all ethnic groups in various places are the summary of the life art of the ancestors for thousands of years, there is no distinction between high and low, and now everyone uses such strange and strange things to ridicule, most of them have no meaning of ridicule, just curiosity." Fang Bin's face was straight, and he said calmly, under the enthusiastic guidance of passers-by, he changed a few buses and came to Zhongshan Park, and heard the earth-shaking singing and singing of Peking Opera from afar, although in summer, because the weather is not too hot, under the shade of trees, on the grass, in the square, there are still many people playing boxing, dancing or playing badminton, under a long row of log corridor pavilions, leisure people are divided into several places, and some gather to sing loudly under the red flag of "Zhongshan Choir"; Some gathered next to the erhu hand to sing Peking Opera, most of them were ticket holders, as if they were singing "Bangs Chopping Wood", and two elderly people dressed as husband and wife were happily singing duets, which provoked the ticket holders who were wearing makeup next to them to point fingers.
The park is lined with trees and is also very large, and it is said that it was established by the Japanese before liberation, and no Chinese are allowed to enter.
"Haha, do you have blood? Tune in! A burst of high-pitched laughter came, and Fang Bin looked over when he heard the sound, and it turned out to be a group of men playing poker, with a large crowd of onlookers.
"Let's go! Let's go see the excitement! Fang Bin took Yu'er's hand, walked over, squeezed into the crowd, four middle-aged men in shorts and shorts clasped their fists and sleeves, shouting and playing poker, three cards, can be played by four people, can also be played by five people, Northeast people are commonly known as "playing rollers", there are two ways to play with a live stick and a dead stick. The players are loud and loud, and the roar is shocking, and often the winner tries his best to ridicule the loser, which is the favorite of Northeast men.
